Terrifying Heavens: I Slay Demons by Painting Faces

Chapter 123 continues

As soon as the Yin-Yang Jade was placed inside, Chen Hengyi saw that the speed at which it gathered spiritual liquid suddenly increased significantly.

If they were originally slow-moving snails, now they're at least riding bicycles.

Previously in the real world, it would take about 20 days for the Yin-Yang Jade to condense into a single drop of spiritual liquid, but now...

He observed that it now only takes 5 days!

Although it still can't compare to the speed in other worlds, this speed is enough to change a lot. At least it allows Chen Hengyi to stay in the real world longer without worrying about insufficient spiritual energy.

Chen Hengyi stared at the "Infinity" mirror assembly that was slowly rotating in mid-air.

The faint Yin and Yang energies are being captured and separated more efficiently by the two mirrors. The Yin mirror absorbs the Yin power from the moonlight and night air, while the Yang mirror silently absorbs the remaining essence of the sun and the Yang energy in the air. The two converge at the Yin-Yang treasure in the center.

Furthermore, Chen Hengyi does not need to make any extra moves during this period. The combination of the Infinite Mirror Yin-Yang Jade can naturally maintain a stable and continuous working state.

Simply put, it's fully automatic.

"Fully automatic is great. Everyone likes automation; it's a sign of progress."

Cultivation should also be automated.

Chen Hengyi continued to look at the infinite yin-yang combination with great satisfaction, liking it no matter how he looked at it.

He took a break for a while.

Then, following the same method used when refining the [Chen Heng Yi Seal], he gave the Infinite Mirror a mouthful of his essence blood to refine it, and then reported it to the Ancestral Master.

Since the refining process is based on the method of the "Playing with Fire Scripture," the procedures still need to be followed.

He then took out a Five Elements Array Plate.

This was something he'd taken from Ayou's house in the Zombie world. He hadn't had much of a chance to use it before, but now he was planning to tinker with it.

Furthermore, this Five Elements Array Plate has a fatal flaw: it requires at least two people to maximize its effectiveness.

Chen Hengyi always goes alone, which makes things difficult.

Therefore, the transformation is imperative!

As for how to make the changes, Chen Hengyi already had some ideas.

He happened to have a wonderful treasure related to the Five Elements!

That is the Three Pure Bells, which can command the five ghosts. When he was refining the Infinite Mirror before, the Fire Ghost, the Metal Ghost, and others showed their different characteristics.

Before being captured by Chen Hengyi, these five ghosts were just ordinary evil spirits. Now, having occupied the five elements positions of the Three Pure Ones Bell for a long time, they themselves are also transforming into the corresponding five elements.

"If we could use the domain power within the Five Elements Array Plate... or throw the Five Ghosts in, it would be much more convenient."

Chen Hengyi stroked the ancient Five Elements Array Plate in his hand, his fingertips tracing the surface of the plate covered with obscure runes, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

"The Five Elements are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, which generate and restrain each other in an endless cycle."

"The technique used to create this array is indeed much more sophisticated than the one I came up with myself... but it's still just so-so."

Chen Hengyi can now say that he has a basic understanding of array principles, and the mysteries of this Five Elements Array Plate are not a concern for him.

Then he took out the Three Pure Bells.

The Three Pure Ones Bell looks ordinary, except that it has the five elements symbols on its surface. But in fact, this is what gives Chen Hengyi a headache. He can't understand it at all... how is it done?

Can you control five ghosts by drawing the five elements?

"The Three Pure Bells are the real treasure, so... let's focus on the divination board."

The fire within her body was blazing.

Chen Hengyi: "Ha!!"

A burst of flame, like a fire dragon, shot out and went straight for the Five Elements Array Plate!

The golden-red flames instantly enveloped the array plate, and the array patterns sizzled under the high temperature, as if they were twisting in pain.

The patterns on the surface of the array plate began to melt and recombine.

Half an hour later, even the array plate itself began to expel impurities and slowly shrink.

In the original storyline, Ah You had to use his blood to activate the array plate, and his arm was eventually broken. How could that be allowed?

"The array formation is ingenious, but crude; it's inferior to Lao Tzu's!"

Chen Hengyi flicked his finger, and the Three Pure Ones Bell floated above the array plate. The five elements symbols on the bell suddenly lit up, and the faint light of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth fell down along the bell rope, wrapping around the array plate like silk threads.

Meanwhile, the array plate was shrinking continuously as it burned with the fire, and soon the fire climbed upwards along the rope of the Three Pure Ones Bell.

The next moment, the five ghosts' agonizing voices suddenly rang out: "Ah—boss, spare my life, boss!"

"Boss, I'm Jin Gui. I wasn't badmouthing you behind your back, please don't burn me!"

"Boss"

Immediately, the five ghosts began to wail and howl within the Three Pure Ones Bell, but Chen Hengyi seemed not to hear them at all.

He flicked his finger lightly, and a clear, ethereal buzzing sound immediately echoed throughout the room.

"It's a bit deserted. The drum and gong band is playing a song list."

As soon as Chen Hengyi finished speaking, a series of powerful gong and drum sounds suddenly broke into the wails of the five ghosts.

At this moment, even the wailing and howling of ghosts became rhythmic.

As soon as the gongs and drums sounded, the wailing of the five ghosts immediately subsided, as if they had been silenced by the lively sounds.

Chen Hengyi nodded in satisfaction and continued to stare at the array plate and the Three Pure Ones Bell in front of him.

Another hour passed.

The Five Elements Array Plate suddenly became as thin as a sheet of paper. With a thought, Chen Hengyi placed this sheet of paper directly over the metal sphere inside the Three Pure Ones Bell.

The originally smooth ball, now enveloped by the Five Elements array patterns, appears to have gained an air of mystery.

Chen Hengyi did not actually attack the Sanqing Bell; it was essentially just a matter of adding a cheat code.

After the modification was completed, he continued the previous process to refine the newly modified Sanqing Bell.

Just after he finished refining it, someone suddenly arrived at the door.

The doorbell rang, causing Chen Hengyi to frown.

"I don't know anyone here, so why is someone coming to my door... Could it be a mirage caused by the previous creation of the Infinity Mirror?"

Chen Hengyi waved his hand and put away the Infinity Mirror that was floating in the air to prevent others from seeing it.

He went to open the door, only to find three people carrying video cameras, one of whom he vaguely remembered.

Before Chen Hengyi could even speak...

"Sir, I'm sorry to bother you... It's like this, because a mirage phenomenon occurred in Guilin City recently, and the one closest to your home. Did you take any pictures or videos of it? We can pay to purchase the footage."

The speaker was a clean-cut-looking boy, who also seemed to be the leader of the trio.

Chen Hengyi shook his head: "No, is there anything else?"

At this moment, the girl who had met Chen Hengyi briefly before took a deep breath, then her eyes lit up: "Wow, handsome guy, the air here is so fresh!"

This girl was the one Chen Hengyi met while strolling along the riverbank when he came here to buy a villa.
