Chapter 67

Putting things into the Yang Ding, I never really thought about it before.

Because this world has no concept of storage devices, I gave it a try and didn't expect it to actually succeed—what a pleasant surprise.

Great joy.

Qin Feng closed his eyes, sensed the changes inside the Yang Ding, and, as its master, opened up an independent space in a corner, several ten thousand cubic in size, so that later a great fire wouldn't burn everything to ashes.

"No wonder it's something even demons fight over; this treasure cauldron surely still holds unknown, terrifying power."

Thinking so, he opened his eyes and also stored the cultivation techniques and medicinal pills inside.

Qin Feng then looked toward the long box.

He opened it and—good grief—it was ginseng.

Judging by its appearance, it's about two hundred years old.

This is definitely a top-grade medicinal herb.

Opening them one by one, they were all precious medicines, the most valuable being a stalk of purple-gold ginseng.

"A thousand-year-old purple-gold ginseng—it's practically gained sentience!" Qin Feng was very surprised, "I didn't expect the Sixth Underworld to have so many treasures; then other places..."

He showed a fiery expression.

He also quickly swept through this place.

Besides the rare medicines, he only took some bank notes and weapons that caught his eye, then began to wander.

Seven Swordsmen's Encampment

Old Tavern

Purple Wisteria Mountain Villa

Scarlet Pavilion

Myriad Beasts Pavilion

And so on, his figure appeared everywhere; with his strong sense, he could easily locate the secret treasury, take the good things, and then quickly leave.

Finally, Qin Feng came to a pavilion by the river inside the city and sat down inside.

The Heartless Buddha's child also followed him.

"Amitabha!" He made a bow, sat opposite, and asked, "Qin Feng, you've slaughtered so wantonly—aren't you afraid of giving rise to inner demons?"

"If you kill those who do evil and lack benevolence, will you give rise to inner demons?" Qin Feng countered.

"I've never killed a person!"

"Have you ever stepped on an ant?"

"No! When I walk, I don't step on any life."

"Have you ever drunk water?" Qin Feng asked again.

"If you don't drink water, you'll die!" The Heartless Buddha's child couldn't help but laugh.

Qin Feng reached out and grabbed; a stream of water rose into the air, fell before him, and, under the effect of his true qi, formed a sphere. He laughed, "Look, look closely, activate your strongest vision to observe."

The Heartless Buddha's child didn't understand.

His eyes, however, burst forth with golden light, growing brighter and brighter like two small suns, also fixed on that mass of water; after a long while, he suddenly shuddered.

"Did you see it?"

"I saw it!"

"What's inside?"

"Myriad lives!" the Heartless Buddha's child said, then fell silent.

"You are killing life at every moment." Qin Feng gave an evil smile, "The water you drink, the food you eat, the air you breathe—all contain hundreds of millions of lives. Within your body, there are tens of trillions of lives; your true qi, your circulation of cultivation techniques, are constantly slaughtering."

Hiss……

The Heartless Buddha's child gagged.

"You haven't learned it well!" Qin Feng sighed, "This principle, the old monks in your temple's power all understand, yet they don't care, because they know what is goodness? I say goodness is goodness, not-goodness is evil, is demon; naturally, the wrathful-eyed Ming King should come to subdue demons."

The Heartless Buddha's child stared blankly, lost in thought.

Floral fragrance wafted, fresh and pleasant.

Haihaitang came with a natural fresh fragrance, her body also carrying a faint smell of blood; she glanced at the Heartless Buddha's child, then turned to Qin Feng and smiled, "Guess what I saw?"

"Worldly sin!" Qin Feng said.

"Mmm!" Haihaitang softly sighed, "I saw a blood pool, saw large amounts of human skin, saw piles of corpses like mountains, saw children being steamed, saw numb female slaves, saw human‑beasts… I was almost burned by fury, losing my reason."

Turning her gaze, she looked at the Heartless Buddha's child and mocked, "Without seeing hell, how can one become a Buddha! Heartless, just one person walking out of here could create a whole hell, yet you still want to stop it? Go see for yourself, see what true human purgatory is. After seeing it, if you still see evil people and do not kill, speaking of teaching, of turning from evil to good, of laying down the butcher's knife, of giving a chance—ha—then I will regard you as an evil Buddha."

"Amitabha!" the Heartless Buddha's child lowered his head.

"Go look!" Haihaitang stared fixedly at the opposite party. The Heartless Buddha's child said nothing.

"What, you don't even dare to look?" Haihaitang couldn't help but laugh, "You, still wanting to become a Buddha, to become a great virtuous one, to see the true Buddha—go to hell!"

The Heartless Buddha's child's face flushed crimson, he stood up and left.

Qin Feng raised his thumb.

"Am I being too vulgar?" Haihaitang felt a bit embarrassed.

"Senior Sister Hai!" Qin Feng said solemnly, "With someone like you existing, ordinary people in the world gain a bit more hope."

"I am an ordinary person myself!" Haihaitang said, "Besides, I am far inferior to you. Facing Myriad Beasts City, though I dislike it, I lack the courage to act."

"Haven't you already taken action?"

"Hehe, you're far more interesting than the little monk."

"I feel the little monk seems never to have grown up, yet he wields a big stick of morality!"

"That's very vivid!" Haihaitang nodded, "He's just like that—astonishing talent, raised in the Great Buddha Temple from childhood, cultivating, never leaving the temple. Because his talent is supreme, he's been pampered, never seeing true evil, never seeing filth, never seeing compassion—his starting point is just too high, not grounded! He's still a good person; after this experience, perhaps he can reshape himself."

"He can't be reshaped; he'll likely become a demon!" Qin Feng remarked strangely.

Hua Haitang blinked.

This girl has ill intentions!

Qin Feng's gaze narrowed, and his personal information appeared before him.

Not much change.

Only the Death Sword Qi had been fully released; it still needs to be re-condensed afterward.

"This time, try fusing the power of Death Dao Rhythm."

Qin Feng closed his eyes, condensed Death Sword Qi again, while the Death Conception also permeated the surroundings, causing Hua Haitang's gaze to narrow as she took a deep look at him sitting opposite the sunset, unsure what she was thinking.

Soon, someone brought food.

It was arranged by Yan Hongye.

She too had gone berserk.

"Preparing so much food amidst the slaughter, you've put in effort!" Hua Haitang was not polite, looking at the table full of food, she began to eat, "Also fortunate that there are enough Black Dragon Guards; otherwise, it would truly be difficult to take Ten Thousand Beast City."

"How do you know about me?" Qin Feng could easily achieve dual-mindedness now.

Leave a part to continue condensing Death Sword Qi.

"I know Yan Hongye, and I know Qin Ziyue!" Hua Haitang laughed, "Not long ago I still saw Qin Ziyue, and she mentioned you to me."

"Your relationship is that good?" Qin Feng was quite surprised.

"We've known each other since childhood, what do you say!" Hua Haitang glanced at him, a smile playing in her charming eyes, "Her mother comes from the Hundred Flowers Sect."

Qin Feng remained silent.

"Before, I used to compete with her, but later she far outpaced me, I couldn't catch up. She is the number one of our generation, a true peerless talent, suppressing us so we couldn't lift our heads." Hua Haitang sighed again, "Not only is her martial aptitude heaven-defying, but her disposition is steady, her bearing astonishing, and she harbors a grand vision. Though I consider myself extraordinary, I still cannot compare to her—it's just a pity..."

She shook her head, but did not continue.

The high moon hung, stars scattered.

The two chatted.

Hua Haitang came out this time to temper herself, preparing to break into the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm.

Besides, she heard that the Heavenly Demon Sect's Demonic Son, the Divine Sky Sect's Holy Son, and the Great Buddha Temple's Buddha Son had all emerged, and she was also interested.

"Recently, the world is not peaceful!" Hua Haitang was very talkative, speaking nonstop, she then lowered her voice, "The imperial court is unstable, the present... never mind him, anyway corrupt officials run rampant, if it were just that it would be fine. The key is, the monster tribes have begun to rise, causing trouble in various places, and the hidden evils have also emerged in great numbers, causing many incidents. The entire Great Qin Dynasty gives me a feeling of an impending storm, that something major is about to happen."

The Innocent Buddha Son returned, stepping in the moonlight.

His body was soaked in blood, his expression dull.

Even his steps were a bit unsteady.

A faint killing aura still lingered around him.

He kept muttering, "Hell, it really is hell, this is damn hell! How can hell exist in the human world?"
