Chapter 120: Great Sun Dharma Image of the Vast Earth

The night was thick, and Li Heng was deep in thought.

Luck, as a consumable, although it would slowly decrease over time, should not drop so abruptly.

Unless... he was about to face a major crisis.

But since he had Luck on his side, consuming three points of Luck would resolve this crisis, either temporarily or permanently. This point remained to be debated and confirmed.

But what exactly was this so-called crisis?

Could it be the host who presided over the Sunset Organization's gathering? But that made no sense; the previous host had wanted to descend but was blocked by the Great Sun Dharma Image, which meant it was still within his range of handling.

He frowned, slowly ruling out various possibilities.

Could it be Wang Xuanji, or matters regarding the aristocratic families?

After Wang Xuanji was defeated and fled, did he directly ask a powerhouse from the aristocratic families to take action? For example, the Ye Family, from which he had slaughtered three people... but in that matter, he had not revealed his identity, so there shouldn't be such a great disaster.

Perhaps the aristocratic families didn't need to be precise about the individual?

They could just flatten everything with Absolute strength...

Sighing, his heart returned to calm, and he withdrew his distracting thoughts.

When soldiers come, block them; when water comes, cover it with earth.

After his Luck dropped sharply to two points, there was no obvious downward trend; clearly, this crisis had been temporarily averted, so there was no need to worry too much.

But if a man has no long-term worries, he will have near-term troubles.

Three points of Luck blocked one instance.

Now only two points remained, which could not block a second.

Unless he could find some way to increase his Luck.

Luck was something too ethereal and mysterious; it would likely be hard to find. However, the monk and the guest came from the so-called Tianming Organization; perhaps the word "Tianming" had something to do with Luck...

His primary goal now was to become stronger as quickly as possible, advancing to the True Qi Realm or even the Innate Realm, so that he could protect himself when the crisis came again, or even blast this so-called crisis to pieces!

A sharp glint flashed in Li Heng's eyes; he casually tossed out a wisp of Sun True Fire and turned to leave, leaving behind only the quietly burning wonton stall.

Soon it turned to ashes, leaving behind a charred patch.

He continued to stroll through the various streets of the Outer City, but did not detect any traces of those demons or Weirds; it was very peaceful.

It stood to reason that during the day, the great battle between the two Innate experts had truly frightened these demons and Weirds, causing them to shrink into their lairs, not daring to come out and harm people.

It was likely that some Weirds had already taken the opportunity to run away.

Li Heng felt a bit regretful, but he didn't care.

Tomorrow night, there should be plenty of Weirds for him to kill.

Finding no targets, he headed straight home.

Passing by the Inner City gate, he discovered that the Constable Xing Yong was standing guard again, stubbornly. Why say stubbornly? Because his face was bruised and swollen, and under the illumination of the surrounding lanterns, it looked even more swollen, and even his entire body seemed to have been beaten until it was a few sizes larger.

Li Heng clicked his tongue in wonder; he wouldn't even take leave for such a work-related injury?

How much is your daily wage? Is it worth risking your life like this?

Seeing Li Heng approach, Xing Yong was startled, then immediately spoke, "Brother Li, returning from demon hunting again? It seems you have truly been working hard lately, only able to return in the middle of the night."

"It's no matter, but your appearance..."

Li Heng looked Xing Yong up and down and couldn't help but shake his head, unable to bear looking. How to put it, he had been beaten too miserably; those drunken Demon Exorcists really didn't hold back their strength when drunk.

"Cough, cough, let's not talk about that; it's all in the past."

Xing Yong gave an awkward smile and hurriedly stopped Li Heng. He had been beaten once and had finally managed to wipe the slate clean regarding his grudge with the Demon Suppression Division; he couldn't let it be brought up again.

Lest he get beaten again.

"Fine, I'll be going then."

Li Heng shook his head; since Xing Yong didn't want to talk about it, so be it, and he couldn't be bothered to pry into other people's business. He passed through the Demon-Revealing Mirror, underwent the Array detection, and walked into the Inner City.

The Inner City had Array protection and was a natural safe haven.

The current Yin Qi was not enough to cause chaos in the Inner City.

Usually, the Outer City was lively at night while the Inner City was quiet, but now the situation was reversed; the Inner City was lively and brightly lit, while the Outer City was quite quiet.

In the Inner City, there were some merchants and peddlers walking about and hawking their wares.

Li Heng glanced at them and knew that these merchants were mostly servants or servants from certain mansions in disguise. It was likely just to relieve the boredom of those young masters and misses who couldn't go to the Outer City.

He paid them no mind and walked straight back to the Demon Suppression Division.

Just halfway there, a young miss from a wealthy family jumped out and blocked Li Heng's path; it was the very girl who had previously wanted to hire Li Heng to go to the Outer City and was then frozen by him.

"Hey, I finally caught you again."

"Look, what is this?"

The girl gave a triumphant smile and held out the hand she had been hiding behind her back; it was a massive gold brick, which, under the light of the surrounding lanterns, appeared to shine brilliantly, full of the aura of wealth.

"This is worth more than ten taels of gold. You were able to freeze me earlier, which shows you have some skills. Now I am officially hiring you to go to the Outer City; do you agree or not? Think about it, this is a gold brick!"

The girl said with some pride, hands on her hips.

Li Heng couldn't help but shake his head.

It was this girl again; he hadn't expected that he had actually guessed wrong before—she really was a rich woman, able to pull out a gold brick just like that. But which family's girl was this, throwing away money by pulling out a gold brick?

"Let me ask you, what is your surname?"

"This young lady's surname is Wang. How about that? Scared now, aren't you?"

The girl continued to keep her hands on her hips, even more proud.

The Wang Family?

Li Heng nodded; so that was it.

Even if it were just the Wang Family of Bei'an County, it was still a branch of an aristocratic family, so it wouldn't be strange for her to be able to pull out a few gold bricks at will.

"Hmm, then it just so happens that I don't like the Wang Family."

Li Heng nodded.

He patted the girl on the shoulder with one hand again, stunning her in place once more, and then left without the slightest hesitation.

However, he had kept his wits about him just now, and upon sensing carefully.

He discovered that this girl's bloodline was a bit special...

After a long while, the girl finally recovered from her rigid state.

She stomped her feet in anger.

Who on earth is this guy, not even accepting a gold brick!? If he didn't want to agree, fine, but why did he have to stun her in place? Was he afraid she would pester him?

Is this young lady that kind of person?

No way, I have to go find my brother and complain!

Returning to the Demon Suppression Division, he walked while thinking about the plan for tomorrow night. He had previously sensed something related to that Descent Array on the old woman, and it felt like a Node of the array.

If these auras or Nodes gathered together, they might form a complete Descent Array, allowing the person on the other side of the array to descend without needing to specifically construct it.

In this way, tomorrow night's events would be somewhat dangerous.

Either kill them quickly, not giving these Strange Monsters a chance to gather together. But there are too many Strange Monsters; once they scatter even a little, even using Sun True Fire would take some time.

A quick kill is not very realistic.

The other option is to use some method to directly block or prevent the descent of that presiding figure.

For example, using the Great Sun Dharma Image...

But can a Great Sun Dharma Image that hasn't been upgraded still prevent a descent formed by so many Weird Strange Monsters? This remains a question mark.

This is not the time of Yinya.

That time with Yinya, there was no array to facilitate the descent; at most, there was Yinya as a coordinate. So even with the coordinate, because the Void was blocked by the Great Sun Dharma Image, the descent still couldn't happen.

But now there is a Descent Array; if this array has some profound mysteries and can break through the blocked Void, then it would be difficult to stop that presiding figure from descending.

Even if the Great Sun Dharma Image could ignore the array.

That would also create a problem: his identity as a human would be exposed immediately. After all, he is using a Weird image to contact that presiding figure in order to blend into that gathering.

He does not want to expose this identity for the time being.

This Sunset Organization has a lot of things worth digging into!

Perhaps... it is time to use Source Power to manifest the Earth Dharma Image from the Xuhuan Lingyu and drag it to a half-True Reality, half-Illusion state, using the Boundless Earth Visualization from his Divine Path clone.

Just like the Great Sun Dharma Image before.

To use this to resist the descent of that presiding figure!

Li Heng's eyes lit up, feeling this plan was feasible. He flew back to his residence, entered the room, sat cross-legged on the cushion, and carefully sensed the situation of his Divine Path clone.

He had not performed much Visualization during this period.

However, the Divine Path clone was still effective, dragging the progress of the Great Sun Visualization directly to thirty-five percent, and his own Boundless Earth Visualization had also reached twenty percent!

He felt a surge of joy; this matter was very promising.

If a Great Sun Dharma Image created with one hundred points of Source Power and ten percent Visualization progress could be used for so long, then this Earth Dharma Image with twenty percent progress should also be very strong!

Of course, the reason the ten percent progress Great Sun Dharma Image could be used for so long was actually because the Great Sun is truly a restraint against Weirdness, capable of suppressing across levels, or even a dimensional strike.

However, the Boundless Earth also has a restraining effect on Weirdness.

If the Great Sun against Weirdness is a natural, incompatible restraint like water and fire, then the Earth against Weirdness is a relationship of subordination, which can still restrain it.

It is the kind of restraint that says, "I am your ancestor!"

Moreover, even if the grade of the Great Sun Visualization Diagram is higher than the Boundless Earth Visualization Diagram, there is definitely a gap between the Great Sun and the Earth visualized based on these two diagrams. Not to mention that when he achieved the Great Sun Spirit Body, he had seen the True Sun once and gained many insights.

But twenty percent progress is enough to make up for some of the gap.

Even if it is not as good, it is not far off!

He now has sixteen hundred points of Source Power, so he is not afraid of lacking Source Power. Sensing slightly in his heart, he wanted to see how much Source Power it would take to drag the Earth Dharma Image into the half-True Reality, half-Illusion realm.

The answer was given instantly... two hundred points.

This is more than the previous Great Sun Dharma Image, but Li Heng was pleasantly surprised rather than alarmed. The more Source Power it consumes, the stronger it means it is. If the twenty percent Visualization progress could only consume one hundred points of Source Power like the Great Sun Dharma Image, he would still feel it was unstable.

Now that it consumes two hundred points of Source Power, this time it is stable!

He closed his eyes and visualized in his heart, manifesting the Earth Dharma Image within his mind. Then, he used his Supernatural Ability, consuming two hundred points of Source Power. He directly pulled the Dharma Image, which was in the Illusion of his mind, into the realm of half-True Reality and half-Illusion, waiting for Li Heng's summons at any time!

With a thought, he controlled the power and let the Earth Dharma Image descend and manifest.

The surroundings did not seem to have changed.

Everything remained the same; the house was still the same house.

But Li Heng could feel that the surrounding earth was different!
