Chapter 57: Slaying Demons and Eliminating Evil, Accumulating Merit

In this world, people survive by consuming the five grains.

Cultivators are no exception. Although they possess great magical powers and divine abilities, their destruction upon the world is also greater. Therefore, the karmic debts on the bodies of high-level cultivators are not what ordinary people imagine.

Generally speaking, righteous cultivators have less karmic debts on their bodies, while the top demons in the Demon Realm, those who roam freely, have hands stained with fresh blood and are burdened with blood debts.

This also makes it more difficult for them to transcend tribulation.

The interaction between heaven and earth causes the Thunder Tribulation that strikes them to be several times larger than others'.

However, the power of merit can eliminate the karmic debts on their bodies and dissolve the blood debts on cultivators, making it much easier for them to transcend tribulation compared to others.

However, the power of merit comes from the mysterious feedback of the universe and cannot be obtained through mere asceticism. Only those high-level cultivators pay deliberate attention to it.

Many low-level cultivators have never even heard of it.

Zheng Yi also learned about it from a miscellaneous book.

And even more superior to the power of merit is the golden light of merit.

That is the result of performing great deeds that are highly beneficial to humanity or the heavens. Through the mysterious feedback of the universe, the power of merit condenses and takes the form of golden light.

The golden light of merit does not provide much assistance in cultivation, but it is a natural nemesis to all kinds of evil karmic debts, grievances, and backlash.

Zheng Yi has witnessed this firsthand and personally experienced it. Even the Yin soldiers and fierce ghosts in the Soul-Capturing Banner are suppressed by the golden light.

The seemingly calm and powerless golden light carries an unimaginable purifying effect against evil attributes. It can even dissolve the most troublesome blood debts and backlash of demonic cultivators.

Just this one attribute is already extraordinary.

Since the day Zheng Yi embarked on the path of demonic cultivation, he had never imagined that he would one day have the opportunity to obtain the power of merit.

A demonic cultivator who is full of evil and blood debts, actually receiving the feedback of the power of merit from the interaction between heaven and earth? Isn't this a joke?

However, after a brief thought, Zheng Yi realized that it was not impossible.

Ordinary demonic cultivators are burdened with blood debts and karmic debts all over their bodies. Even if the heavens wanted to strike them dead, they wouldn't have the time to do so. How could they possibly receive the feedback of merit?

But Zheng Yi is different. He has always been focused on cultivation and has not caused much harm. He rarely even kills, let alone harm ordinary people.

As for battles between cultivators, that is another matter.

They are all parasites between heaven and earth and rarely generate blood debts and karmic debts.

What Zheng Yi truly kills are the hordes of zombies and vengeful spirits in the apocalypse world.

These ghosts and zombies are not truly conscious beings, but more like tiny viruses attached to this world, spreading like a plague.

For the entire normal world, they are like maggots on bones and a contagious disease.

Slaying these zombies and ghosts that threaten the normal operation of the world is, in a way, helping the world's will to restore itself. Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine receiving rewards.

Of course, this may also be related to the fact that Zheng Yi is not originally from this world.

As an outsider, Zheng Yi's identity is actually considered a foreign demon by the world's consciousness, just like these zombies and fierce ghosts. They are all viruses of the world.

But when Zheng Yi came to this apocalyptic world, he was busy killing hordes of zombies and slaying evil spirits in various ghost dens. His actions were beneficial to this world, which is why he received rewards from the world's will.

It's like playing a game and encountering a major bug.

The locals eliminate evil spirits and zombies for their own survival. Their origins are closely related to this world.

To survive, one must first save oneself, and only then can others be saved.

But Zheng Yi is different. He is like a mercenary from outside, someone else doing the work for you, risking their lives. Naturally, you have to pay them.

This is the cycle of heaven. The world's consciousness is chaotic and cannot distinguish these things. It only acts according to a fixed balance principle.

Moreover, Zheng Yi has been acting like a madman during this time, like a huge bulldozer, killing zombies in groups, destroying one demon cave after another. Wherever he goes, the number of destroyed zombies and vengeful spirits is countless, but it is definitely a considerable number.

Therefore, over time, Zheng Yi has become the first person to benefit from the world's will and establish feedback. He has gained such great benefits.

Even because there is too much power of merit, it directly materializes in the feedback of the world's consciousness, becoming a seed of merit in the sea of consciousness.

This is the benefit of being the first person to benefit. If others come later, they cannot repeat Zheng Yi's path. The world's consciousness cannot be deceived twice.

This is like taking advantage of the world. The first person may succeed.

When others try to imitate later, they will only be kicked away.

Of course, Zheng Yi cannot think of these things now.

But Zheng Yi knows one thing, the power of merit is indeed a good thing, and it is best to have more of it.

Although it doesn't help with cultivation or improve his own strength, just by erasing the power of sin and karma, it already has an incredible effect.

"The power of merit is indeed a good thing. At least for now, with the help of this seed of merit in the sea of consciousness, I can continuously refine the Blood Slaughter Qi of the Soul Capturing Banner..."

"The Yin soldiers and fierce ghosts inside, under the illumination of the golden light, seem to gradually regain their consciousness, instead of being confused and only left with the instinct to kill."

"And this also helps stabilize the Soul Capturing Banner, giving me time to continue searching for materials for advancement."

For now, Zheng Yi can only think of this much.

After all, although there are mentions of the power of merit and the golden light in the Great Yi Immortal Domain, they are just briefly mentioned.

Those are points that only high-level cultivators would pay attention to, and even cultivators at the Foundation Building Stage and Violet Palace Stage do not have the qualifications.

These things are even less relevant to ordinary cultivators.

Zheng Yi's realm is still too low, only at the fifth level of Qi Refining. He is still far from the Foundation Building Stage and cannot come into contact with the true power of merit.

But one thing is certain, this power of merit is very useful for cultivators at the Gold Core realm, and even higher realms require it.

Knowing that it is a useful thing, Zheng Yi will keep it and discover its effects when he reaches a certain realm.

There is no need to be too anxious!
