Above the Great Swamp of the Mountains and Seas.
Zhou Tong flew into the air, and a vertical eye appeared between his brows. Wisps of light bloomed from the vertical eye between his brows.
This was his Heavenly Eye.
The Heavenly Eye in this world was very simple. When the soul reached a certain level, it could be transformed into divine sense, and the Heavenly Eye would naturally be born.
"As expected of the Great Swamp of the Mountains and Seas. As expected of the favorite place of many fugitives in the Great Xia!" Zhou Tong scanned with his Heavenly Eye, and could clearly see that there were several places where the turbid air was dense, and wisps of red light were faintly revealed.
This was the turbid air of sin!
Those with merit would be surrounded by a clear air, while those with grave sins would be surrounded by a turbid air. When merit was concentrated to the extreme, it would produce a golden light, and when sin was concentrated to a certain extent, it would produce a blood-red light.
"However, the merit and sin of this world seem to be the merit and sin of the human dao. Killing someone is a sin, but saving someone is a merit? "Zhou Tong was very curious.
Could it be that the Heavenly Dao of this world had self-awareness? Otherwise, why would merit and sin be calculated from the perspective of living beings?
"Let's kill a few great demons with grave sins first. I wonder how merit and karma are calculated!" Zhou Tong targeted the direction of an island, and transformed into a hurricane, tearing through the sky and charging directly toward it.
"Clang!"
When he arrived above the island, Zhou Tong suddenly attacked. Using his palm as a saber, a brilliant black saber light instantly slashed down.
"Boom!"
The saber light seemed to have struck something, and paused for a moment, then quickly rushed through it.
At the same time, the space within a radius of over 50 kilometers began to distort and transform. The seemingly empty island instantly transformed into a massive city. Within this city, a large number of human slaves were suffering. They were like the most lowly laborers, being ordered around by many Great Yaos to do their jobs.
These human slaves were all mortals, and there were people who could not bear the burden and died at every moment.
"Is there something wrong with the head of the great demons in charge of this place?" Zhou Tong looked at the scene in front of him, and was a little speechless.
This was a world where cultivators could cultivate. The power of cultivators far surpassed that of mortals. A project that 100,000 mortals spent ten years to build could be completed by a single cultivator with a wave of his hand.
Under such circumstances, he was still oppressing mortals like this. Was there something wrong with his head?
Zhou Tong's divine sense instantly enveloped the entire city. Within his divine sense, he could sense the hearts of the countless mortals within the city. Anger, numbness, sorrow, pain, despair!
And within these endless negative emotions, there was an endless amount of resentment.
"Suppress!"
Zhou Tong formed a seal with both of his hands and cast a kind of divine sense secret technique. Suddenly, a huge divine sense directly suppressed the entire city. The majestic momentum was simply like the sky falling down.
"Ah!"
Under the suppression of this divine sense, countless people in the city felt as if the sky was collapsing and they were about to be crushed to death. Countless mortals trembled as they knelt on the ground, begging for forgiveness.
On the other side, the demons in the city were even more terrified. They knew that a true master had come knocking on their door. Many great demons even wanted to flee.
"Impossible, I can't fly!?"
"Not good, the fluctuations of the divine sense have been suppressed. I can't use magic treasures. No, I can't even use my true essence!"
"Ah, spare me, my lord!"
These Great Demons who wanted to escape were all horrified. Under such a majestic Divine Sense, they couldn't even drive the True Essence in their bodies.
In this large city, the stronger one was, the greater the impact, and the faster they would die.
This was a relatively simple divine sense secret technique. Zhou Tong had found it in the cave abode of a celestial immortal in the wild marshes of the Gaol Mountains. This technique was called – the Sky Collapsing Mystic Technique!
This mystic technique was very interesting. As the saying went, "When the sky collapses, there are tall people to hold it up". This mystic technique seemed to be a large-scale attack, but it had an instinctive 'identification' function. The stronger one was, the more they would be suppressed. Only when the stronger one was crushed to death would the weaker one continue to be suppressed.
"Puff!!"
In an instant, the head of this city's city lord, a snake demon, exploded. Then, the great demons under him all cried out in pain, bleeding from their orifices. Finally, the 'supervisors' in charge of the human slaves died. They were the weakest and the last to die.
"Withdraw!" Only after all the Great Demons in the city had fallen did Zhou Tong retract his secret technique. That divine sense that weighed down like Mount Tai rapidly dissipated.
At this time, the slaves in the city came to their senses. The supervisors who had been bullying them had all died.
"Thank you, great immortal, for saving our lives!!" Some of the human slaves looked up at Zhou Tong in the sky. They realized that it was Zhou Tong who had saved them.
"Life in the Mountain Sea Marsh is not easy. But this island is protected by an array formation. As long as it is repaired a little, you can continue to live!
"Remember these words – constantly strive for self-improvement." Zhou Tong waved his hand. Suddenly, streaks of light flew into the city below and into the bodies of a few people who were surrounded by the Pure Qi of Virtue.
"This is …" These people's bodies suddenly trembled. They felt as if many things had suddenly appeared in their minds.
It seemed to have something to do with the array formation. It also seemed to be a cultivation method …
For a moment, they couldn't understand completely. They wanted to ask, but when they looked up at the sky, Zhou Tong had already disappeared.
"I've done everything I can. How you survive from now on is up to you!" Zhou Tong thought to himself after leaving the island.
At the same time, he looked at himself with his Heavenly Eye and found that the Pure Qi of Virtue on his body seemed to have become denser.
"Killing cultivators with great sins and rescuing those who possess the Pure Qi of Merit can really increase one's merit. It's just that the increase is much smaller than I imagined. Is it because the group of people I saved might do evil in the future, so they put the blame on me? "The more Zhou Tong thought about it, the more speechless he became.
This world's accounting was too confusing!
At this moment, Zhou Tong even thought of a scene.
A cultivator who specialized in saving people. He was surrounded by Pure Qi of Virtue and was free and unfettered between heaven and earth. But in the next moment, his body was burned by Karmic Fire and turned into ashes. And the reason could be because one of the people he saved had turned into a demon?
"The Heavenly Dao and merit are too casual. There is no standard. Sometimes, it even depends on luck." The more Zhou Tong thought about it, the more speechless he felt.
"This world's arrangement is forcing all cultivators to draw a clear line between themselves and mortals … Forget it, I'm not going to think about it anymore. I'll continue to look for Peacock."
Zhou Tong shook his head and continued to wander around the Mountain Sea Marsh. He spread out his divine sense and looked everywhere for the target of this mission – Peacock.
