The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 293 Descends Upon "The Exorcist"

The three fell silent.

After a long while, Zhang Yuan'an looked up at the roof of the car and said, "It's all about timing and fate. I was born at the wrong time. How difficult it is to become an immortal."

"We've prepared for so many years, but in the end, we might not even get a result."

Master Xuhe said in a deep voice, "Whether there will be a result or not, we will only know after we do it. If we don't do it, who knows what will happen in the end?"

"Alas, so many years have passed, and we don't even know what happened on the side of our ancestors. If another few decades or hundreds of years pass, future generations may even doubt whether we ever had an ancestor."

Jingzhi Daoren continued, "Regardless of the circumstances, things have come to this point, and it is indeed time for a resolution."

Zhang Yuan'an lowered his head and suddenly said, "This person is closer to that realm, if..."

Master Xuhe frowned and said, “What are you saying? That person’s origins are mysterious, how can we trust him? Besides, he doesn’t have the combined fortune of our sects, so even if we let him participate, it would be useless.”

“From the moment we decided to launch the plan, the choice of personnel was actually already decided.”

"If you're worried about him, I think you can use this as a reason to speed up our plans."

"Some people were worried that we would exhaust the sect's luck and spiritual energy. Now that things have come to this, let's see if they have any other ideas."

The other two remained silent.

After a long while, Master Jingzhi finally said, "In Dongyang, let's have someone keep an eye on that person's movements first. Let's go see the Celestial Master first."

……

Two days later, Li Zhen, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the altar, opened his eyes and looked at his right arm.

He'll be sent to the mission world in half a day...

Li Zhen glanced at the special insects in the jar in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.

For the past two days, he has stayed at home, spending his time meditating and studying his Gu techniques.

With Zhao Jun's assistance, his Gu technique has made great progress.

In addition to cultivating the insects he needed, he also made progress in the art of blood gu, creating blood gu that he could control.

Before surviving the ordeal, Li Zhen believed that the Gu technique he created was less terrifying than the original.

However, after surviving this ordeal, the Gu he cultivated again looked even more terrifying than the original.

Observing the development of the insects inside the jar, Li Zhen was somewhat surprised.

Those tiny, blood-red insects were even able to gnaw on the jar, leaving uneven lines inside.

If he hadn't used a talisman to suppress the insects, the jar would probably have been gnawed open by them.

I need to find an opportunity to try out these Gu worms...

After putting the lid on the jar, Li Zhen picked up another small box containing fresh blood and put it into the basket along with the jar.

This contains, of course, the items he crafted for casting the Blood Gu.

After standing up, Li Zhen glanced at the exit of the basement.

Two days later, the strange phenomenon outside had disappeared and became a spectacle circulating online.

Li Zhen's own wounds have mostly healed, leaving only some minor cuts on his face.

There are more unseen wounds on the body, especially on the abdomen, where the healing process is much slower than in other places due to the influence of the lightning.

After such a long period of attrition, the heavenly lightning sealed between his organs has been completely worn away. Although the evil energy on his body has been weakened to some extent, it has not had a significant impact on his strength.

The wills of those demons, long tormented by the heavenly lightning, became even more active, making Li Zhen appear even more sinister.

If he doesn't control himself, the entire villa, including the surrounding hundred-meter area, will probably become a strange place that no one can set foot in.

As the number of demons he visualized increased, and the level of his Five Elements Evil Spirit Sublimation Method rose higher and higher, Li Zhen felt that he was getting closer and closer to the true form of the demons.

Does this mean that when the Five Elements Evil Sublimation Method is cultivated to its peak, the true form of the evil spirit must be pulled into one's own body?
Thinking about this scene, Li Zhen felt the pressure.

After being affected by the heavenly lightning, the talisman between his internal organs became brighter and brighter, and its aura became stronger and stronger, as if the extremely yang heavenly lightning had some benefit for it.

In the past two days, Li Zhen also explored the talisman and gained quite a bit.

After walking up to the female demon and tidying up his things, Li Zhen placed the basket on her back.

I have a lot of things to bring this time.

Bringing only a banshee is obviously not enough.

After putting some other things into the other basket, Li Zhen took the basket and walked to the corpse demon.

The Corpse Demon was asleep, completely unaware of anything.

Li Zhen used the ink mixed with cinnabar that was placed beside him to draw a few strokes on the corpse demon's body, adding some seals to the existing seal and isolating the corpse demon from its senses.

Unless the Corpse Demon puts up a fierce resistance, it will not know what is happening in the outside world and will only become a zombie controlled by Li Zhen.

Except for half of its head, the demonic fetus's body had been restored, and it was now diligently doing carpentry.

Li Zhen glanced at the demonic fetus and then checked the condition of the red-eyed bat.

A red-eyed bat was hanging upside down on the side of the altar where the bat-faced demon was placed, its head covered by its wings, and it was resting.

Sensing Li Zhen's approach, it spread its wings, glanced at Li Zhen, and then went back to sleep.

Its wounds have completely healed, and there is no visible injury from the outside.

Li Zhen touched the red-eyed bat, walked to the place where the ghost fetus slumbered, and frowned slightly.

The ghost fetus had been dormant for too long and had not yet awakened, which made Li Zhen feel that something was wrong.

But he could also sense that there was nothing wrong with the ghost fetus.

Even without looking closely, one can sense that the ghost fetus is becoming increasingly terrifying and sinister.

But it just wouldn't wake up.

This left Li Zhen somewhat helpless.

He decided to bring the ghost fetus with him this time, hoping to encounter something useful for it in the mission world.

The Qilin Stone, something absolutely essential, was also stuffed into the basket on the back of the female demon by Li Zhen.

After sealing "Uncle Dong" inside the coffin, Li Zhen followed the original defense pattern and set up a defensive array to prevent outsiders from entering, mainly using a swarm of ghost-faced moths.

Having done all this, Li Zhen looked at his own body.

After repeatedly burying himself and then being resurrected, the yang energy in his body had become so strong that it began to influence the environment.

The basement was originally gloomy, but because of his activities there, the eerie atmosphere of the basement was greatly reduced, and it no longer had the same eerie feeling as before.

If he were to be resurrected a few more times, even evil creatures like the red-eyed bats would probably not want to stay by his side.

In addition, as the yang energy increased, Li Zhen also noticed that the demonic will within him was rejecting the yang energy in his body.

In fact, the evil energy within his body had been constantly devouring his yang energy. If he hadn't controlled it, his yang energy would have been devoured by the evil energy in a short time.

Even though Li Zhen was already in control, he only slowed down the speed.

From this perspective, Li Zhen couldn't possibly interrupt his resurrection process. Through resurrection, he could continuously restore the yang energy of his body, maintaining his living state, while the evil energy continued to erode him...

This fragile balance will persist unless one side can completely overpower the other.

Li Zhen could not stand by and watch one side gain the upper hand, because both sides were crucial to his interests, and if the balance were lost, the situation would become extremely troublesome.

Through his will, there shouldn't be any major problems between the two for the time being.

We'll talk about the future later...

Li Zhen summoned the Ghost-Faced Moth Mother and instructed her to pack up the unrepaired Five Elements Compass and deliver it to Li Xiangwen.

This Five Elements Compass is a very powerful magical artifact, arguably one of the strongest magical artifacts Li Zhen has ever seen. Putting aside the possibility of returning it in the future, Li Zhen also wants to repair it and prepare for when he needs it.

The day before yesterday, when Li Xiangwen contacted him, Li Zhen mentioned to Li Xiangwen that he asked if he could find someone to repair this thing.

The damage to the Five Elements Compass is not merely a physical breakage, but more importantly, a breakage of the talismans on it and the subtle magical arrays arranged on its parts.

Li Zhen tried to assemble the Five Elements Compass himself, but found that the assembled Five Elements Compass was useless.

You need to find a specialist to repair this thing.

Li Xiangwen had previously told Li Zhen that he had found someone skilled in making magical artifacts and that they could give it a try.

Li Zhen didn't know if the other party could fix it, but decided to let them give it a try.

Two days ago, Li Xiangwen not only had the demon bring over the books that Changshan had sent, but also carefully organized them and collected some information to compile a biography of Wu Qiyuan for Li Zhen.

This requires a lot of effort and dedication.

After thinking for a moment, Li Zhen put a Bagua artifact he had obtained in the mission world into the package containing the Five Elements Compass and asked the Ghost-Faced Moth Mother to bring it to Li Xiangwen.

This Bagua was obtained in a world where a ghost fetus was acquired after killing a sorcerer. It can absorb the essence, energy, and spirit of others from a distance and create a puppet that can be controlled by the holder.

Anyone who damages the puppet will suffer the same damage as the target.

That sorcerer once used this thing to immobilize Li Zhen in place and nailed his limbs with peach wood nails.

For Li Zhen at that time, this magical artifact was also helpful to him.

But now, this magical artifact is useless to him, but it will definitely be useful to Li Xiangwen.

You don't actually need magic power to use this thing; you can activate it with talismans.

Detective Li had already stuffed several usable talismans into the Bagua.

If an accident were to occur, Li Xiangwen would have more than enough time to protect himself with this.

More importantly, this thing is primarily targeted at people.

With the help of the ghost-faced moth and this magical artifact, Li Xiangwen should be safe.

It's nighttime now, and the flying ghost-faced moth mother can deliver the items to Li Xiangwen the fastest.

Moreover, the female ghost face moth can fly directly to Li Xiangwen's house by sensing the ghost face moth larvae, which is very convenient.

After doing all that, Li Zhen walked out of the basement.

Fatty Huang had already left, or as he put it, to deal with all the mess at home.

Li Zhen didn't know how well he handled it.

It should have gone relatively smoothly, otherwise Fatty Huang would definitely have come to him to ask "Little Ghost Brother" to come out of retirement.

Upon entering the study, Li Zhen opened the pile of books he had obtained from Changshan.

When these books were delivered here, Li Zhen sensed a familiar aura of destiny, which puzzled him.

Could it be that sending these books here was also something Wu Qiyuan had already arranged?

So what exactly does Wu Qiyuan want to do?
Li Zhen casually picked up a book and began to read it attentively.

When the time was right, he thoughtfully put down the book and walked out of the house.

After arriving in the basement, he checked his setup and, finding no flaws, covered the banshee and the corpse demon with specially made black robes, then disappeared into the house with what he needed to take.

……

When his vision returned, Li Zhen found himself on a bustling street with people coming and going.

The sky was overcast, the sun was nowhere to be seen, and the streets were gloomy, as if it were about to rain.

Li Zhen glanced around.

Upon seeing the style of the buildings along the street and the distinctive shop names hanging on the shops, he knew that this must be Hong Kong Island.

And it should be Hong Kong Island two thousand years from now.

Li Zhen turned his head to look at the small restaurant in front of him.

The one who summoned him is inside.

Seemingly because the sudden change in the environment stimulated the Corpse Demon, it suddenly broke free from the seal that Li Zhen had set up behind it and opened its eyes.

Wisps of corpse energy seeped from the black robe, making the surrounding area suddenly turn cold and gloomy.

Li Zhen reached his hand inside the black robe.

The corpse demon roared at him.

"Don't be nervous, it's just something I do outside." Li Zhen quickly replenished the cinnabar talismans that had been used up and sealed the corpse demon again.

The Corpse Demon was too terrifying; it only released a little bit of corpse energy, yet it caused the surrounding temperature to drop, making the area within ten meters cold and damp.

Everyone who entered this area experienced a strange sense of panic.

In a short time, no one dared to approach the Corpse Demon and Li Zhen.

With the corpse demon and the banshee standing aside to wait, Li Zhen entered the cramped little restaurant.

His gaze swept across the room and landed on a middle-aged man with white hair sitting on the inside.

The man exuded an aura of gloom, giving off an incongruous and chilling feeling.

With Li Zhen's knowledge, he could naturally tell at a glance that the person often associated with ghosts.

When Li Zhen looked at that person, that person seemed to sense something and also turned to look at Li Zhen.

The moment he saw Li Zhen, his right hand holding the chopsticks trembled, and the chopsticks fell onto the bowl with a crisp sound.

As if he had seen something extremely terrifying, his expression slowly turned solemn.

With a smile on his face, Li Zhen walked towards the person.

The man's face shape was seven or eight parts similar to Nick Cheung's, and he also had white hair...

Upon seeing this appearance, he guessed what kind of world he had entered.

This is an interesting world...
