458: Chapter 52 Emperor Haoling and Emperor Lao Bai 458: Chapter 52 Emperor Haoling and Emperor Lao Bai Slay demons and exterminate devils?
Chi Yu Zi’s spirit imdiately rose, feeling that Jade Sword Buddha truly was a genius.
In the world, only life and death are the most difficult to defy and are the most mysterious and unpredictable.
Within the Mystical Sect, any Cultivation Technique involving “life” and “Yin and Yang” is considered top-grade, such as the Immortality Pill that can resurrect an Immortal.
In the realm of evil skills, those related to the aura of death are also considered top-grade in a certain sense.
That’s why so many Evil Cultivators kill others to practice their skills, wracking their brains to murder and cultivate despite the risk of being hunted down by the Righteous path.
The Diluted World Scripture, slaughtering tens of millions to resurrect a single person, could be said to be the most evil of evil magic, as well as the barrier set up by the heavens and earth between life and death.
Chi Yu Zi had never heard of a thod to resurrect the dead.
The closest thod, reincarnation, was also not perford after a person had completely run out of oil and their lamp had gone out.
Nor was there a Heavenly Person of significant power who could survive purely by reincarnation.
Reincarnation seed more like stuffing a soul into an unford fetus, thus acquiring a body of one’s own.
Compared to seizing a body, it was more ingenious and more gentle.
Nowadays, the Daoist Sect allowed reincarnation but forbade possession.
On the contrary, they secretly killed demons and practiced resurrection techniques with no issue whatsoever!
As a person on the Righteous path, and as the True Martial Demon Sweeping Heavenly Venerate in charge of worldly military affairs, Chi Yu Zi also saw no problem with it.
As long as it was not promoted openly and did not create a bad influence, if soone she didn’t know did it, she would turn a blind eye.
She said, “The disasters of this world are no longer about natural disasters and the Devil Clan but are more about human calamities.
In dealing with the affairs of the True Martial Palace, I’ve learned that there are a total of 3.85 million murder cases in the eight hundred cities of the world each year, with an average of ten million people dying, half of whom are evil demons.”
“Cultivators practicing evil techniques need to kill at least ten people for Qi Cultivation, a hundred for Foundation Establishnt, and a thousand for Golden Core.”
Gu Wen glanced sideways, did so ntal calculations, and then felt that it didn’t seem too much.
The territory of the Human Race is vast, with the size of a state being at least half as big as Huaxia and at most as big as Asia.
Although more than ninety percent of these places are uninhabited, the total population is well over ten billion.
With ten million people dying unnatural deaths each year, the probability of one in ten thousand, averaged out to every city, every county, and every town, suddenly becos quite peaceful.
Among these, there must be many unnoticed, but in a world with Transcendent powers, managing this much is already quite an accomplishnt.
Unaware of Gu Wen’s thoughts, Chi Yu Zi leaned on his shoulder and said while looking at the various Bodhisattvas, “There’s also a docunt from within the True Martial Palace that indicates about twenty million people may die unnatural deaths due to Evil Cultivators each year.”
“Many Evil Cultivators roam around committing cris, going to the countryside pretending to be gods, bewitching the people into willingly becoming living sacrifices, just like these Mahayana Buddhists.”
In propaganda, the appearance of evil demons is like a cloud that obscures the sun, abducting countless people, burning, killing, and plundering without doing any good.
Actual Evil Cultivators however are amiable, traveling to the mountains and countryside, either pretending to be ascetic monks, esteed figures of the Mystical Sect, or even directly manifesting as celestial beings descending to the mortal world.
Then they establish temples and religious orders, beguiling the hearts of the people, and feeding on humans to cultivate.
Because murdering would quickly attract encirclent by the Daoist Sect, and the common folk would flee, the news would inevitably leak.
Jade Sword Buddha’s voice resonated with a spiritual echo, “In Buddha State, there are also five hundred thousand people missing each year.
Little Monk has investigated everywhere, the townspeople refuse to speak, and the temples show no evidence.”
“Five hundred thousand is a low estimate,” Chi Yu Zi scoffed.
“In the decades you’ve been gone, it has already rebounded to two million.
Just your Buddha State alone has increased the average number of missing persons by thirty percent.”
The Buddhist Sect is very good at taking sides; they contributed to the great war against the Devil Clan, and when the Daoist Sect said they could not exploit the people and treat mortals as re food, the Buddhist Sect made changes too.
At first, the Daoist Sect favored such sects because they were beneficial for ruling without the need for soldiers or battles.
But when the war ended and peaceful developnt began, Buddhism, or rather Mahayana Buddhism, beca an intractable rotten sore.
For example, at present, Buddha State is the only place with a ninety percent rate of illiteracy, while other regions have at least fifty percent.
The refusal to be enlightened was branded on their foreheads.
But the Buddhist Sect never blatantly confronted the Daoist Sect; as soon as they were warned, they imdiately reined in their behavior, and after so ti, they would secretly continue human sacrifice for cultivation again.
The Daoist Sect has been investigating continuously, but the entire Buddhist Sect is united, and even the common people do not stand with them, not to ntion that the Devil Clan and so other more evil sects are never completely eradicated.
That is why the Buddhist Sect has remained safe and sound to this day.
To put it unpleasantly, even if the True Martial Palace had all the incriminating evidence against the major temples, it would be impossible to completely wipe them out.
More often than not, such issues were left to the lesser branches of Buddhism to deal with internally.
Chi Yu Zi slightly tightened her grasp on Gu Wen’s neck and whispered, “That old Fox Huayang often says I’m reckless and that I should play the long ga, but after several centuries, Suru Mountain’s eight hundred li of heavenly road still has millions of common people kneeling.”
“Sotis I really want to act as if I’ve gone mad with cultivation and just start a massacre.
I don’t care about the chaos; I only know that those who eat people, if not killed, will only eat more.”
“Amitabha Buddha.”
Jade Sword Buddha quietly muttered a Buddhist term, his eyes of colored glass turning into red jade, and strands of Sword Intent rising to pierce the skies.
Imdiately after, he slowly suppressed the killing intent in his heart.
“It is the fault of the Buddhist Sect, and I will certainly settle the account in the future, even if it takes a hundred or a thousand years.”
Gu Wen, who was listening on the side, knew that this was sothing Yu Hua would never discuss with him.
Tens of millions of people were eaten every year, which compared to the population of over ten billion, was not too much, especially when Cultivators were in control, and natural disasters were rare.
Hence, the practice of feeding on humans for cultivation was, in fact, the norm.
