Chapter 181: Chapter 181 – Moon God Worship’s Hidden Effect
“Looks like it still has some time.”
Looking at the Sorcerer Formation, Chen Heng nodded and said, “Have some other people come and try so that it isn’t wasted.”
These Sorcerer Formations took around 50 magic stones to activate, making them extremely expensive.
Since it had already been activated, he might as well let other people have a try.
Perhaps he would find some pleasant surprises.
At that moment, Chen Heng thought of some people.
“What are those twin girls doing?” he asked the old butler.
“They are still in the guest hall,” the old butler replied respectfully.
Right now, the two girls were still in the castle.
In the past few days, Chen Heng had examined the girls and did not find anything abnormal. As such, he kept them in the castle as female attendants.
“They’re still working?” Chen Heng nodded and said, “Let them come and try. Maybe we’ll be surprised.”
Chen Heng seemed to think of something and gave a slight smile.
The old butler respectfully nodded before leaving.
Soon, two girls slowly walked over.
Compared to before, their mental states were much better. They were also wearing new robes and held brooms; it seemed that they had been working before.
Coming before Chen Heng, they looked at him nervously and shyly.
“Don’t be afraid.”
Looking at the two girls, Chen Heng smiled and said softly, “Go and have a try.”
His expression was very warm, making others let down their guard.
The two girls looked at Chen Heng before shyly nodding and walking onto the stone slab.
In the next moment, a faint golden light shined out.
“Two Level 2 talent.”
Looking at the light, Chen Heng gave a slight smile.
As expected, Griffin had not taken an interest in these two girls for nothing.
They both had Sorcerer talent, and decent ones at that.
Even though it was only Level 2, if they worked hard, the results could be quite good.
After all, with Level 2 talent, it was possible for them to become Third Rank Apprentices in the future if they put in the hard work.
This was most likely why Griffin had taken an interest in them.
Looking at the golden light, everyone in the surroundings were stunned.
“Are you joking…”
“They’re mere slaves, and yet…”
They looked quite shocked and were completely startled by these two girls.
Sorcerer talent was something that was incredibly rare.
In the entire Doyle family, apart from Chen Heng, only two others had Sorcerer talent.
And now, both of these two girls had Sorcerer talent.
This made everyone feel quite shocked.
“Alright,” Chen Heng clapped his hands and motioned for the two girls to come to his side.
“Don’t worry,” he said softly as he smiled, “This is good.”
He thought to himself as he comforted them.
The two girls both having Sorcerer talent evidently was not a coincidence.
These two girls were twins and had the same bloodline; even their mental ripples were very similar.
Did this show the connection between talent and bloodline?
Chen Heng thought all kinds of things but remained calm externally.
Soon, the others had also finished going through the test.
It was a pity that out of these people, none of them had any Sorcerer talent; they were all ordinary people.
This was to be expected.
After all, to find a single person with Sorcerer talent was already quite difficult.
Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult to find a single person with Sorcerer talent even among 1,000.
The Doyle family was an outlier because the Doyle family’s people all had Sorcerer bloodlines. This was why they had a much higher chance to have Sorcerer talent than ordinary people.
This was why Sorcerer organisations like the Hunter’s House normally went to Sorcerer families to recruit students.
After all, trying to find students from ordinary people would be like finding a needle in a haystack and would require far too much resources and manpower.
Each test required 50 magic stones as well as an Apprentice who was proficient in Sorcerer Formations.
The cost was a bit too high.
Standing there, Chen Heng thought of various things.
After a while, he looked ahead.
In front of him, the Sorcerer Formation on the stone slab had become dim and gradually deactivated.
The red gem also lost its light; the magic power within it had been depleted.
This was the end of the test.
Following this, Chen Heng went and picked up the stone slab and the Sorcerer Formation.
The stone slab was not an ordinary material, and even the materials used to form the Sorcerer Formation were not ordinary and had substantial value.
If he threw them away after just using them once, it would be a bit too much of a waste.
After putting away the stone slab, Chen Heng turned and left.
In the following period of time, apart from researching Griffin’s condition, Chen Heng had a new task, which was to teach his students.
After that test, he had taken in those two girls and the other two people with Sorcerer talent as his students.
This did not give him much pressure.
After all, he had been taught by Griffin and Charlie, and he had given his own lessons at the Hunter’s House.
With his knowledge, it was not a problem for him to teach these beginners.
Of course, he was not teaching them out of kindness but because he wanted to do some tests.
Even though he had found a way to store magic power, he lacked sources of magic power.
If he just relied on himself, he would not be able to store up too much magic power.
The best use of this Sorcerer Formation was to combine many people’s magic power to achieve greater goals.
This was why Chen Heng had taken in these students.
He hoped that they could become Apprentices and then give out their magic power to become his batteries.
However, he did not overtly reveal this and maintained a façade.
Just like this, he went through a period of calm.
In the blink of an eye, another three months had passed.
During those three months, his students had made some progress and begun to do Meditation.
Chen Heng’s research also yielded some results.
“It seems to be working.”
Within the silent bedroom and looking at Griffin on the bed, Chen Heng thought to himself.
In order to resolve the problem with Griffin, Chen Heng had used various methods to try to stabilize Griffin’s mind.
Some things had effect, but most were completely useless.
Only recently did Chen Heng find something incredibly useful.
“Using the energy produced from Moon God Worship seems to have some use in treating twisted minds,” Chen Heng thought to himself.
Despite doing much research, he had not slacked off on doing Meditation.
Ever since he had obtained Moon God Worship from the Moon Elf King’s tomb, he had long since modified it to be suitable for Humans. It was just that the effectiveness was a lot lower.
Moreover, using Moon God Worship caused Chen Heng to produce a special energy.
It was similar yet different from magic power. It was quite special in terms of its nature.
Within Moon God Worship, there was an explanation of this energy—it was called Moon God Power.
It was the effect of cultivating a high-level Meditation Technique.
High-level Meditation Techniques were not only far more effective than ordinary ones, but they would also produce unique energies.
Using Moon God Energy could calm down chaotic minds and even cause them to gradually recover.
This was something that Chen Heng had found out by chance.
During this period of time, he had continuously used Moon God Energy on Griffin, resulting in decent results.
Under the effects of Moon God Energy, Griffin’s chaotic mind had gradually calmed down; even though it was still extremely chaotic, it was not as bad as before.
Everything seemed to be developing in a good direction.
It was just that observing this process, Chen Heng thought of something.
“The Elf race’s legends say that the Moon God is the purest, most peaceful god and can purify everything and calm all chaos…”
Chen Heng thought to himself, “So that’s why Moon God Worship’s energy has similar properties.”
This was a massive discovery.
Sorcerers’ minds becoming chaotic was a problem that most Sorcerers faced as they developed.
To a Sorcerer, a clear and calm mind was the most important thing.
Once one’s mind became impure, one would fall into danger.
It would be easy for accidents to happen.
With Moon God Energy to calm and purify his mind, this was a great benefit to Chen Heng.
At the very least, for other Sorcerers, they could only do this through various Sorcerer Formations and medicines.
For Chen Heng, as long as he continued to use Moon God Worship, he would be able to maintain a clear and pure mind.
This was a massive advantage.
Right now, Chen Heng thought of something else—the Heaven Devouring Scripture.
The technique from the Azure Heaven Realm allowed one to devour other people’s constitutions and bloodlines to help one’s own constitution and bloodline to grow.
He did not know who had created it, but the creator’s level was simply astonishing.
If one continuously used this technique and devoured many constitutions and bloodlines, they could help one gain a better constitution and talent.
It was just that this heaven-defying technique had a very big problem—the tainting of one’s mind.
If one continuously used the Heaven Devouring Scripture to devour other constitutions and bloodlines, one’s mind would be gradually tainted.
In the end, cultivators would go crazy and lose their sense of self.
This was why Chen Heng had not wanted to use this technique in the past.
But now…
The differences between worlds was now evident.
In the Azure Heaven Realm, the tainting of one’s mind was a massive problem and had practically no solutions.
However, in the Sorcerer World, the Sorcerers naturally had methods to deal with this.
After all, the mind was incredibly important to Sorcerers, so they had done much research into it.
Purifying one’s mind could be done through various medicines, as well as Meditation.
Moon God Worship’s effects seemed to be especially good in this area.
“Can I use the purifying effects from Moon God Worship to negate the side-effects of the Heaven Devouring Scripture?” Chen Heng thought to himself.
The biggest problem of the Heaven Devouring Scripture was that after devouring other constitutions and bloodlines, it would affect him negatively.
The difference between bloodlines would cause one’s mind and soul to deteriorate.
If he could use some method to get rid of these side-effects, then he would not have to worry about the downsides of the Heaven Devouring Scripture.
Perhaps ordinary methods could not completely get rid of the powerful side-effects, but what about Moon God Worship?
This was a high-level Meditation Technique from the Moon Elf royal family and was very powerful. It was definitely not inferior to the Heaven Devouring Scripture, and it might be even more powerful than it.
Thinking to there, Chen Heng felt quite interested.
He did not hesitate and decided to do a test.
As such, he gave some orders to the attendants.
There were a large number of death row prisoners in the Doyle family’s castle.
These people all had complicated backgrounds; some were bandits and others were slaves that Griffin had bought.
However, no matter what their origins were, they were the same to Chen Heng.
As the successor of the Doyle family, while Griffin was unconscious, everything belonged to him.
After he gave the order, a prisoner was knocked unconscious and delivered to his room.
Chen Heng closely examined this prisoner.
He was a normal young man and did not have any special bloodlines or characteristics.
Right now, he was lying on the ground, unconscious.
Overall, he was a very normal and unremarkable person.
Looking at this person, Chen Heng lowered his head and stretched out his hand.
The Heaven Devouring Scripture’s principles began to activate in his mind.
Because of the difference in worlds, Chen Heng could not directly use the Heaven Devouring Scripture in this world.
However, with his knowledge and experience, after comprehending the Heaven Devouring Scripture, he could modify it so that he could use it in this world.
Of course, because he had modified it, its effects were far inferior to the original version, just like Moon God Worship.
This was incredibly obvious.
Following Chen Heng’s actions, the young man’s face gradually became pale and his body went through changes.
This was the result of his essence blood being drawn out.
If it was the original Heaven Devouring Scripture, this would have only taken a few breaths of time for the young man to be sucked dry.
However, right now, the speed was incredibly slow, though Chen Heng did not care too much.
As long as the effects were good, that was enough.
Following this, he used a calming technique on him before continuing to use the Heaven Devouring Scripture.
Only after a long time did this conclude.
Soon, the young man looked completely different. He was still in the position as before, but he was no longer breathing. He looked like a dried corpse, and all of his essence had been devoured.
