I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 893 The So-called Killing

"My hands are covered in blood, and I don't regret dying, but I have no way to seek the truth. What can I do?"

Li Ming sighed softly as he watched the old man from Yashan who died from the backlash. The side paths of the devil's way were like dancing on a tightrope, and daily practice was to fight against all kinds of evil thoughts.

Unconventional magic relies on collecting souls, whether from practitioners or ferocious beasts, and using special methods to refine them into gods and demons for one's own use. These demons are often vicious and violent, filled with resentment. As they cultivate these gods and demons, they grow stronger. If the master is weak, they will be attacked by the gods and demons they have raised.

Therefore, while cultivating the demon, the master must also continuously improve his own skills and stay ahead of the demon. After practicing to a certain level, he can use the outer demon to train the inner demon, and refine his own spirit into a life-long demon. Finally, if he can withstand all kinds of disasters, he can ascend to another world with the demon he cultivated.

Of course, it is said that no evildoer in the side sects of the devil in this world has ever really gone to this step and ascended with the devil he had refined.

There's also the unorthodox magic, which seeks to summon the gods and demons of otherworldly realms. Those with lesser powers ask for their blessing and gain supernatural powers, while those with greater powers simply summon the gods and demons down to earth, similar to the Taoist practice of summoning gods. However, summoning gods and demons isn't so easy; practitioners must pay a price each time, sometimes even more than they receive.

This method is equivalent to signing a contract with the gods and demons. The deeper the skill, the more diligently one worships, the stronger the bond with the gods and demons, and the greater the magical powers. However, no matter how one dies, they will eventually be taken by the gods and demons, becoming their demon children or descendants. This type of merit is of the lowest order, relying on external forces for everything, with no control over anything. This represents a person who has strayed from the path of the demonic realm.

This person is also a first-rate casual cultivator. He entered the Tao by practicing a method he got from nowhere. He couldn't even tell whether he was practicing a side door or an unorthodox method. He refined many demons, but they were not significant. The demon gods he summoned didn't pay much attention to him and only sent down a trace of magic power when necessary. He could be considered the lowest level among the demons.

Although he had practiced hard all his life and had reached the realm of Mingfa, he had few skills to show off. When he met Li Ming, it was like an egg hitting a stone. With a crack, the egg was destroyed and the person died.

If it is a true and authentic demon sect, then it is different. The Taoist technique they practice is to transform themselves into the demon god itself, and in the end they can ascend to the demon world. It seems that someone has indeed done it before, but it is just a rumor and there is no name.

It is said that magic is easy to obtain, but the method to control magic is difficult to find. No matter whether it is unconventional magic or unorthodox magic, it is only the superficial ones. The power may be extraordinary, but the core method to control magic is very shallow. The demon thoughts that are refined by themselves or signed by them can be easily broken.

Those who practiced unorthodox methods became nourishment for the evil ways.

The descendants of the authentic Demon Sect have secret magic that can control demons with demons, and use demons to defeat demons. In the Demon Sect, unorthodox methods are often circulated freely in the outside world and can be easily obtained. Li Ming has a lot of them collected by Yu Hua in his hands now. Even when he went astray and fell into the Demon Sect later, it might not be without the secret influence of the demons attracted by these magics.

In the eyes of the descendants of the magic sect, these people are nothing more than nutrients. They hope that more people will practice magic so that they can become their materials in the end. Sometimes, they don’t even wait to meet a legitimate descendant of the magic sect. After their own cultivation reaches a high level, the demon becomes more and more powerful, and they become possessed by the devil.

Among them, the most advanced blood magic "The Great Styx and the Dark Sea Blood God" has the fundamental method of training one's own primordial spirit into a blood god. Anyone who practices the magic way will be defeated by it, and those low-level demons will tremble in fear at the mere sensation of its breath. It is said that even in the demon world, it is a superior achievement and few can rival it.

In those days, there was a blood demon named Ding Xian, who was later called the Blood Sea Ancestor. He obtained the "Blood Nerve" by chance and spread the blood magic in the second volume widely. He himself practiced the basic magic in the first volume and transformed himself into the Blood Sea Demon God. He has been dominating the world for three hundred years since then.

Anyone who practices blood magic is considered his Blood God's son. Not only can he take their life at any time, but even all the Taoist magic they have painstakingly cultivated can be taken by him with just a thought. He is a truly unparalleled demon. This is why the story of a celestial immortal passing on a flying sword, the Shushan hero finding immortality, wielding the purple and green swords to slay the immortal, and establishing the Shushan Sword School.

Because this story concerns the origin of the Shushan Sword Sect, it is very popular in the Taoist community, and Li Ming is very familiar with it.

Yu Hua had collected quite a few books on magic, so Li Ming had some understanding of him. Otherwise, he would not have been able to capture the aura of this person's magic so easily. It could be said that his defeat was inevitable!
Then Li Ming looked at the remaining murals of demons on the ground, knowing that there were still some residual demonic thoughts in them. If people saw them, they might be able to comprehend magic from them. He swung his sword and smashed all these things to pieces. As for the magic weapons left by Yashan, Li Ming only liberated the wronged souls in them, and they became waste.

Fortunately, Li Ming is proficient in this, otherwise he might not be able to finish it even if he spent the whole night.

When the first ray of morning light shone on Li Ming's face, Li Ming had just sent away the last wronged soul, and he counted with his fingers.

"One hundred external skills, it seems that Yashan has done a lot of things that angered the heavens and the people."

The way of heaven is cruel and treats all things as straw dogs. Taoists and demons should be treated equally, but it is not known whether the Emperor of Heaven who maintains the operation of heaven and earth is from the Xuanmen, or whether he supports the Xuanmen system. According to the rules of heaven, keeping to the right path is to maintain good causes, and accumulating external merits will bring good rewards.

Merit and karma are such concrete things that exist in the rules of heaven and earth and are linked to the rise and fall of this world. Therefore, the righteous gods maintain such rules and make all living beings abide by them.

The evil sect felt much more uncomfortable and became a walking experience bag in the eyes of the righteous masters.

I have to say that this system is still very useful. If the whole world continues to operate like this, it will naturally be full of vitality. Only by adhering to the rules can there be hope of ascension.

However, if this happens, a catastrophe will also occur between heaven and earth, and a killing calamity must be launched to resolve the cause and effect.

It can even be said that the thing called killing disaster only came into being after the emergence of this system. The so-called cause and effect, merit, and karma are all recorded in the Way of Heaven, and the Way of Heaven is like a rigorous computer, and these things take up a lot of memory.

If there were no cause and effect, no karma, then the laws of nature would naturally run more smoothly.

Therefore, over time, the Heavenly Dao will prepare a killing calamity on its own, specifically to eliminate those with deep karma and huge accounts, in order to make room for its own memory.
