Chapter 144: The Immortal Lord’s Cat (part 15)
Actually, if controlling those few people wasn’t already the limit of her aura, she wouldn’t mind sending a few more up as sacrifices to attract more powerful Demonic Cultivators.
Yu Youyou spent the day mingling among the disciples in the back rows, watching the show.
The Grand Competition began. Nine Golden Core Disciples simultaneously leaped onto the arena. Before the Sect Master and other Elders could react, the Elder in charge of the arena’s formation had already activated the arena’s formation.
Liuli immediately saw something was wrong: “A Ci, that formation is for bl00d sacrifice! The disciples inside are in danger! ”
She had said that with such a large event, Yu Youyou couldn’t possibly do nothing…
Xuan Qingci, disregarding the risk of injuring the Elder by forcefully breaking the formation, concentrated his Sword Qi and pierced through the arena’s formation. Unfortunately, it was too late.
The nine disciples committed suicide without hesitation. In that brief moment of delay, the bl00d sacrifice formation had already gained enough Strength to summon several Demonic Cultivators.
Although these Demonic Cultivators were all at the Golden Core Stage, their Means were cruel. The attacks of ordinary Golden Core Disciples couldn’t even harm them.
Amid the Chaos, many more disciples had already been killed or injured.
After all, relatively few Nascent Soul Stage disciples participate in the Grand Competition. Generally, they are Foundation Establishment Stage, Golden Core Stage disciples, newly admitted to the Sect, who need to obtain more cultivation resources through the Grand Competition.
These Demonic Cultivators weaved through the disciples like fish in water, their eyes bloodshot with killing intent.
Yu Youyou had already hidden far away. As long as she avoided the next few breaths, the Sect Master and Elders would make their move, and these Demonic Cultivators would no longer be a Threat.
Liuli looked at the disciples who had committed suicide on the arena. Being controlled to commit suicide shouldn’t result in Karma, but these disciples bore extremely heavy Karma, even exceeding their souls’ capacity.
This Karma didn’t dissipate with their deaths; instead, it all followed their souls into the Wangchuan River, where most of it was washed away.
The Elder was also entangled by Karma. The injury from the formation’s backlash should have healed with a few months of rest, but in the current Situation, the Elder probably only had a few months left to live.
Liuli looked at Yu Youyou. She had roughly guessed the System’s operating mode.
Karma generally forms from the undigested power left behind by major catastrophes that affect the world’s progress. This power continues to accumulate with the world’s evolution until it forms the next inevitable catastrophe, such as the Witch-Yao Catastrophe and the Investiture of Gods Catastrophe her Master often mentioned.
These catastrophes are mostly accompanied by interspecies conflict, large-scale wars, countless deaths, and reshuffling of species hierarchies.
But this world’s Karma should have been absorbed by the so-called “System,” and the System must use certain methods to reasonably digest this Karma. After all, the System cannot endlessly absorb Karma without releasing any.
Whether the “System” initially operated this way, Liuli did not know, but this current method was clearly distorted.
After all, judging by the ultimate goal, the System’s function should be positive, but the current mode only addresses the symptoms, not the root cause.
The Wangchuan River can only wash away a limited amount of Karma. The undigested Karma still returns to the world to be collected by the System. The System is now having Yu Youyou do these things, which don’t affect the world’s progress and won’t increase Karma. But the best way to eliminate Karma is through Merit, making the System’s current method completely contradictory to the solution.
As more and more souls who haven’t done anything evil but are entangled by Karma and cannot be reincarnated accumulate in the underworld, those souls who haven’t committed great evil have to be sent to the mountains of knives, seas of fire, and cauldrons of oil to filter out their Karma. Over time, the underworld’s order will also become chaotic, and then Karma might truly explode…
As an ordinary Spiritual Cat, Liuli didn’t want to meddle in other people’s business. After all, what direction this world takes has nothing to do with her, an outsider.
Liuli wouldn’t admit she still resented Heavenly Dao’s warning to her that time.
Since it’s so protective of its beloved daughter, Yu Youyou, then if Yu Youyou eventually ruins this world, it has nothing to do with her.
Only a few drawbacks have appeared so far, and it’s still far from a potential world collapse. She only needs to make sure that A Ci is no longer harmed by Yu Youyou. After that, how long they two remain together is up to them. Since they’ve made a Heart-Linked Contract, even if this Small World ends, they still have a chance to be together in the Next World.
Because of the influence of the Heart-Linked Contract, she now directs more of her Emotions toward Jianbing rather than simply a particular Reincarnated Being. It seems that as long as they aren’t like Zhou Yonghou, who lacks understanding, she’ll most likely be willing to stay with them, because it’s Jianbing.
Watching the Demonic Cultivators being cleaned up by the Sect Master and the Elders, the injured disciples were sent to the Medical Hall for treatment, and the deceased disciples could only be buried.
When counting the casualties, the Sect Master and Elders all had grim expressions. The bodies of the nine disciples on the arena were taken away by the Law Enforcement Hall for inspection. The Elder who controlled the formation, whose face was as pale as paper, was brought before the Sect Master and Elders.
Before anyone could ask, the person, who had been weak from their injuries, suddenly attacked Xuan Qingci.
The attack could be stopped, but Liuli saw the dense Karma invading Xuan Qingci with that blow, so she quickly stood in front of Xuan Qingci, countering it with her own Merit Golden Light.
The System instantly captured the source of this anomalous Energy, but seeing the golden Merit, the System went into a temporary anomalous state. It seemed that in its very distant data records, that was the correct way to eliminate Karma…
“The System will undergo immediate maintenance. Missions, mission progress, reward distribution, and aura effect will be suspended. The Host may freely move during this time. ”
Yu Youyou was truly going mad. If it weren’t for the fact that everyone was still under the watchful eyes of the Sect Master and Elders, and thus dared not show any abnormalities, Yu Youyou would have vented her anger on anything within reach…
She had painstakingly completed the mission the System said had a generous reward, but after she completed it, the System pulled this stunt, claiming maintenance prevented even the rewards from being sent out first. It simply didn’t want to pay up!
No matter how Yu Youyou called the System, it didn’t respond. Yu Youyou could only maintain a calm appearance so as not to be caught in a mistake.
Without the System maintaining the aura, the controlled Elder regained consciousness. Before being executed, they shouted, “Sect Master! It was Yu Youyou! I was controlled by Yu Youyou! Sect Master, I am willing to accept punishment, please don’t kill me…”
Wu Wang Sect’s Sect Master Mingxin’s sword stopped at the Elder’s neck: “Yu Youyou? ”
At this point, Xuan Qingci understood everything. This calamity was caused by Yu Youyou using Evil Sorcery to control these people…
