558: The hunt for demons and monsters has begun!

The heavenly law of merit and virtue was inscribed upon the Heavenly Dao on the third day, and the changes were like a silent tide, submerging every corner of the Three Realms.

Inside the General-in-Chief’s mansion at Chentang Pass, Nezha sat cross-legged on the couch, his eyes slightly closed.

Deep within his Primordial Spirit, that thin yet warm golden halo flowed slowly, grinding against the last few wisps of scarlet Karma Qi entangled upon it, emitting a faint "chi chi" sound that only he could perceive.

The baleful Qi left behind from the slaughter at Qianyuan Mountain was truly, under the cleansing of this golden light, gradually settling and dissipating.

He suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of red light in his pupils, as he tried to mobilize his magic power.

The fire-tipped spear appeared at his thought, and the Three-Flame Spirit Fire on the spear tip ignited with a "hum," seemingly more condensed and pure than in the past, and within the crimson treasure light flowing on the spear body, there was faintly an extra trace of extremely faint golden light.

"Karma... it can actually increase the power of a Spirit Treasure and clarify magic power?" Nezha felt shocked in his heart.

"Brother! Come and see!" Twelve Zha's crisp and surprised call came from outside the window.

Nezha pushed the door and went out, only to see his brothers and sisters gathered together in the courtyard, all looking up at the eastern sky.

The morning light was faint, but on the horizon, there was a conspicuous gray-black Qi pillar rising from a desolate mountain in the distance, straight like wolf smoke, revealing ominousness and filth.

Around the Qi pillar, several lights of different colors were vaguely approaching and circling, among which one golden light was particularly eye-catching.

"That is... the manifestation of Karma?" Third Zha's eyes were bright with divine light, his Divine Ability of Thousand-Mile Eyes pushed to the limit.

"Look, there is an Immortal Cave in the mountain, filled with Demonic Qi, and a tiger demon is entrenched there, covered in blood light, with deep Karma!

Those few who are approaching... are Cultivators! They are besieging that tiger demon!"

"Those with deep Karma are like a bright fire in the dark night..."

Lady Yin arrived behind the children at some unknown time, her expression solemn: "With the heavenly law of merit and virtue in effect, these demons and evil Cultivators who relied on their Divine Ability to hide in deep mountains and forests to commit evil can no longer hide.

Killing them can earn feedback of Karma from heaven and earth... This world is about to change."

As if to verify her words, a dazzling Spell brilliance erupted from the direction of the distant desolate mountain, accompanied by a shrill tiger roar, and the gray-black Karma Qi pillar shook violently, then suddenly collapsed with a roar!

Almost at the same time as the Qi pillar dissipated, among the several lights of the besiegers, that most eye-catching golden light suddenly became brighter by a segment, and the other lights also gained color, though far less obviously than that golden light.

"Karma... distribution?"

Sixth Zha scratched his iron head, thoughtful, "More output, more harvest?"

"I am afraid that is the case." Li Jing walked over with heavy steps, his armor clanking: "From now on, slaying demons and eliminating devils is no longer the ethereal 'acting on behalf of heaven,' but a 'Karma trade' with clear pricing and immediate results.

It is foreseeable that within the Three Realms, a hunting frenzy targeting those with deep Karma is about to begin."

Within a short month, the chain reaction triggered by the heavenly law of merit and virtue swept through the Three Realms at an astonishing speed.

Mount Kunlun, Jade Void Palace.

Several third-generation Disciples of the Chan Sect gathered in a side hall, with a water mirror suspended in the center, not showing scenery, but flowing colors representing different Karma and Karma.

"Senior Martial Uncle Guangchengzi comprehended the heavenly law of merit and virtue, combined with the Jade Clarity immortal method, and created this 'Karma Observing Water Mirror Technique,' which can observe Karma density within a hundred miles, and is especially good at identifying the intertwining of group Luck."

White Crane Boy, the leader, explained, "The Revered Master has an order: we of the Jade Void sect should maintain righteousness and guard our hearts, with Karma as our thought.

Down the mountain, if you encounter those who are deep in Karma and cause harm, you can take action according to the situation, accumulate Karma, and also eliminate Calamity Qi before it happens."

The Disciples nodded one after another, each with their own calculations in their eyes.

Quiet cultivation is certainly important, but this visible and tangible Karma has miraculous effects on cultivation, Calamity Evasion, and even enhancing the power of Magic Treasure, who could not be moved?

As for where the people with Karma are, that can only be hard on Junior Martial Uncle Tongtian's Disciples!

Fortunately, Junior Martial Uncle Tongtian has many Disciples, otherwise there would really not be enough to go around.

Jinao Island, Biyou Palace.

The atmosphere was much more complicated.

In the main hall, Duobao Daoist had a bronze ancient lamp suspended in front of him, the flame was blue-purple, jumping quietly.

Where the lamp flame shone, the golden, gray, or black Qi on the bodies of several Jie Sect Disciples below was clearly visible.

"This is the 'Karma Fire Heart Lamp,' which uses a trace of heart fire to induce, and can illuminate the general Karma and Karma of oneself and others."

Duobao Daoist's voice was calm, "The Revered Master has said: we Disciples of Jie Sect act according to our nature, but we must have a clear conscience.

However, now that the heavenly law of merit and virtue is hanging high and Karma is manifested, all Disciples should also be vigilant.

Past Karma might be laughed off; but if Karma is entangled like ink, and Calamity Qi is deep, one must be extremely cautious.

If one can cleanse Karma and accumulate Karma, it is a good thing for oneself and the sect."

Some Disciples with shallow Karma or even carrying Karma were calm.

While many who were entangled with black and red Qi had slightly changed expressions, some lowering their heads without speaking, others with flickering eyes.

They hated it in their hearts; the good old days of relying on Divine Ability, being happy and seeking revenge, skinning and digging out hearts, and killing people to refine Magic Treasure would likely be greatly restricted.

Western Paradise, Spirit Mountain.

Jieyin and Zhunti sat high on the lotus platform, and the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats below were mostly covered in thick or thin peaceful golden light, which was the infinite Karma obtained by the Western Sect through years of converting all living beings and making great vows.

"amitabha."

Jieyin spoke slowly, "Jade Emperor establishing this heavenly law of merit and virtue is truly great compassion and great wisdom.

Karma is like dust, obscuring the true suchness; Karma is like water, washing away the dirt of Karma.

Our Western Sect's doctrine originally values Karma and Karma.

Now that the net of heaven is vast, good and evil are easier to distinguish.

All Disciples can widely spread the simplified method of 'Heavenly Eye'—'Karma Identifying Spirit Light Technique,' to help destined living beings identify good and evil and guide them towards the Buddha.

Slaying demons and defending the Dao, accumulating Karma, is just the right time."

"Respectfully follow the decree!"

The Bodhisattvas and Arhats below responded in unison.

Zhunti Daoist smiled at the corner of his mouth; the Western Sect has its own system for accumulating Karma, and now with this shortcut of "hunting Karma," it is a god-given opportunity for attracting Loose Cultivators from the Primordial World and expanding the sect.

"I see that in the Underworld, there are many people with monstrous Karma!

If they can be converted, there will be Karma! All Disciples can go to the Underworld, pay respects to the Great Emperor Beiyin and the Five Direction Ghost Kings, and find a job to accumulate Karma."

The clouds in the Miluo Palace had not yet dispersed, and Lu Jiuyuan had already stood up.

"Pass the decree to Venus, prepare the carriage." His voice was plain, but it made the immortal officials standing on both sides tremble.

"Your Majesty, where are you going?" An immortal official asked bowing.

"Mount Kunlun, Jade Void Palace."

The Dao field of Primordial Heavenly Venerate, the ancestral court of the Xuanmen Chan Sect, the residence of a Saint.

Since Jade Emperor regained the power of the Heavenly Court, although he had made moves repeatedly, he had never personally visited the Dao field of any Saint.

Today's move is of extraordinary significance.

"Your Majesty going in person, is it..." another immortal official hesitated.

Lu Jiuyuan scanned with his eyes: "Is it what? Is it abrupt?"

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the vast sea of clouds outside the hall:

"The heavenly law of merit and virtue has been inscribed on the Heavenly Dao, but as long as the investiture of the gods list is not opened, the killing Calamity is not real.

The investiture of the gods list signed by The Three Teachings is still in the hands of Primordial Heavenly Venerate."
