Good deeds spontaneously combust

This was the first time Feng Bingwen had encountered such a thing. In the past, every time it happened, the golden flames would burn his good deeds and transform into what he asked for only after he made a wish.

However, there is no need to be surprised. While this is indeed the first time that good has been attacked, evil has spontaneously combusted several times before. Each time, it occurred when good and evil were out of balance, burning out of Feng Bingwen's control and bringing disaster.

This time, the good deeds were probably due to the imbalance between good and evil, and since Feng Bingwen didn't want anything recently, the good deeds burned on their own without his prayers.

Judging from the results of each spontaneous combustion of evil deeds, besides bringing him calamity, there are also benefits. So, the spontaneous combustion of good deeds should not be a bad thing.

"Yes, it's all burned!"

Feng Bingwen is no longer the same as before. He calmly watched as 190,000 merits were burned down to a mere fraction. At this moment, his good deeds and evil deeds were once again out of balance, only now they were completely reversed.

Name: Feng Bingwen

Good deeds: 92 (92)

Misdeeds: 3,726

Nowadays, the amount of good deeds is so small that it doesn't even meet the minimum standard for making a wish. Feng Bingwen had already tested it. Only after making over a hundred good deeds would the Heavenly Book react after making a wish. And that's only if the wish is reasonable. If it's unreasonable, the Heavenly Book won't even bother with it.

As for the evil deeds, although they only amounted to a few thousand, the more than three thousand seven hundred evil deeds have actually broken Feng Bingwen's current record. The Heavenly Book has never accumulated so many evil deeds before.

The main reason was that he had damaged the earth's veins, which added 1,800 evil deeds to his karma. This was after he had made amends for his evil deeds. If he hadn't made amends, the 18,000 evil deeds that fell directly on him would have been enough to make Feng Bingwen extremely anxious.

The main reason why Feng Bingwen's evil deeds were able to remain at such a low level was that he would periodically undergo calamities to resolve the evil karma on his body.

Otherwise, if all the bad karma accumulated in the past were to accumulate, it wouldn't take much; just burning ten thousand units of bad karma at once might endanger one's life.

After burning over ten thousand good deeds, the divine weapons that willingly come are indeed very appealing. However, if an equal amount of evil deeds were to evolve into a calamity, who knows what it would look like? In any case, Feng Bingwen does not want to face such a calamity right now.

"A celestial book!"

Seeing the evil deeds listed in the Heavenly Book that had exceeded the three thousand limits, Feng Bingwen didn't hesitate and directly prayed to the Heavenly Book, thus triggering a calamity.

"I am willing to bear the sins..."

As soon as this thought arose, the Heavenly Book responded immediately. Under the gaze of the pale flame with a faint crimson hue at its tip, the number of evil deeds rapidly decreased, soon falling to the same level as the number of good deeds, which was only in the double digits.

Misdeeds: Twenty-six (26)

Three thousand seven hundred evil deeds were erased, and this was the first time Feng Bingwen had ever tried this amount. Previously, it was usually two thousand. This time, Feng Bingwen was also prepared to try it. After all, the speed at which he was accumulating good and evil deeds was far greater than before. Cleaning up two thousand evil deeds at a time was still a bit too frequent.

However, the good and evil deeds recorded in the Heavenly Book had been almost completely erased. But Feng Bingwen waited for several days, and neither divine soldiers nor unexpected calamities appeared.

Faced with this situation, Feng Bingwen is now quite calm. Whether it is an opportunity arising from good deeds or a calamity arising from evil deeds, they are probably both brewing, but he just can't sense them yet. After some more time, they will probably all fall.

Jinglin Prefecture, the capital, is a densely populated and bustling metropolis with a permanent population of over one million. If those who move about within it are also included, the number would likely double.

Meanwhile, in a corner of the mountains near this bustling metropolis, there is a vast and imposing palace complex. Its grandeur surpasses even that of the governor's office located within the city, and its location even hints at a commanding view.

This palace complex was built against a mountain, with a tall and majestic main hall standing atop the mountain. Standing on the steps of this main hall, one could overlook the entire city, including the imposing and grand governor's mansion.

Meanwhile, in these palaces, which are predominantly black and appear majestic, deep, and terrifying, many people dressed in black robes or black armor are hurrying back and forth, and as they walk, a faint aura of malevolence surges forth.

This is a branch of the Great Demon Slaying Division established in Jinglin Prefecture, in charge of all matters concerning demons and monsters in the prefecture, and the capture and killing of chaotic and strange gods. Its chief military officer is of the same rank as the prefectural governor, and all matters are directly reported to the headquarters of the Demon Slaying Division in the capital, without having to pay attention to the local government.

However, despite enjoying various privileges, as a violent department established by the Great Power to target the cultivation world, the Demon Slaying Division also bears corresponding risks and responsibilities.

Apart from a few civil officials, all those under the Demon Slayer Division must fight against supernatural beings and strange phenomena; if they are not careful, they will die and their souls will be destroyed.

However, the Great Gan Kingdom has been established for three hundred years, and now is a time of peace. Although there are still evil spirits and monsters, they are all quite weak and cannot cause any great harm.

Therefore, the casualties of the warriors of the Demon Slayer Division can be kept to a minimum. As a result, although everyone in this palace was in a hurry, there was no anxiety in their eyes, and some even had smiles on their faces.

but,

boom--

In this rare moment of peace and tranquility, this place, which could be said to be the most heavily guarded in the entire state, suddenly erupted with a violent tremor. The force was so great that it even affected the entire city. In an instant, houses shook and trembled, and the people of the city were filled with anxiety. On the towering city walls, blood-red runes even faintly appeared.

What happened?

"The earth dragon has turned over!"

"Ridiculous! What do you think this place is?"

"That's right, our Jingzhou Demon Slaying Division has celestial artifacts to suppress the earth's veins, how could there be any disaster of an earth dragon turning over?"

"Don't panic, the President is out!"

The shaking of the ground not only alarmed the people of the capital, but also unsettled many warriors in the Demon Slayer Division who fought against demons and vengeful spirits.

In their eyes, all anomalies in the world are related to those non-human beings. Any unusual changes whose source is difficult to detect are very likely caused by those great demons and monsters.

"quiet!"

Amidst the widespread anxiety and unease among the martial artists, a towering and imposing figure appeared in the main hall plaza of the Demon Slayer Division.

The towering figure loomed above, casting a large shadow below and creating a sense of oppressive force. However, the martial artists were not intimidated by this; on the contrary, they felt much more at ease.

As is widely known, any great leader who can control the chaos, strangeness, and supernatural affairs of a state possesses the power to slay ghosts and gods, and in terms of martial arts, they have even reached a transcendent and saintly realm.

Therefore, when such a powerful figure appeared, order was quickly restored to the area, and the restless people of the city were naturally appeased by people sent by the local government.

Meanwhile, in the main hall square of the Demon Slayer Division, Xiao Tianhe, the Grand Commander of the Jinglin Demon Slayer Division, stood silently for a moment. It wasn't that he wanted to stand still, but the sudden change that seemed like an earth dragon turning over was truly unsettling, so he naturally had to appear to appease everyone.

Once order was restored below and everything was running normally, the Grand Commander, who had practiced martial arts, tempered his body with the power of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends, and had comprehended the profound "Intent," thus reaching a higher realm of martial arts, turned around and gazed at the source of the sudden change.

A square, black cauldron, only about ten feet tall, with different terrains and landforms clearly engraved on its four sides, including mountains, plains, hills, valleys, and all kinds of terrains, without omission.

Judging from its appearance alone, this cauldron is no different from the large cauldrons used for incense offerings in ordinary temples, appearing extremely ordinary and commonplace, almost like a decorative object.

However, the Grand Commander Xiao Tianhe knew how extraordinary this cauldron was. It could spontaneously connect with the earth's veins, and even ordinary dangerous places could be transformed into blessed and pristine lands with wonderful wonders over time if suppressed by this cauldron for a long period of time.

The location where his Jinglin Demon Slaying Division was established is the best proof. Three hundred years ago, when the Demon Slaying Division was first built here, it was just a flat area. But as time went by, the terrain gradually rose, and even the governor's office in the city was lower than it.

Because of this terrain, the local government has often made things difficult for their Demon Slaying Division, unlike other prefectures where civil and military officials live in harmony and get along well.

However, although Xiao Tianhe was troubled by this matter, there was nothing he could do. Unlike their counterparts in other prefectures, their Demon Slaying Division could not choose their own location to establish their camp. They could only build it on this mountain and set up camp around this square cauldron.

The reason for this is that this square cauldron cannot be moved. Due to the connection of the earth's veins, unless there is the power of a god or demon to lift a continuous mountain range, it is impossible to shake this square cauldron.

Of course, this is just the most mindless method. This square cauldron is full of mysteries and is naturally not an ordinary object. As for its grade, the official authorities of Daqian have not yet made a conclusion. Some people think it is a high-grade spiritual treasure, while others think it is a celestial treasure left behind by a true immortal.

Regardless of the debate, one thing is certain: in the three hundred years since the founding of the Great Gan Dynasty, no one has gained recognition for this square cauldron, and therefore no one has been able to move it.

Xiao Tianhe, who held a higher position, knew that this cauldron had been here for more than three hundred years. Before the founding of the Great Gan Kingdom, this place was occupied by a sect called the Yishan Sect.

However, that sect was unable to move the cauldron even an inch until it was destroyed by the massive army formation, let alone use it to resist the crisis of annihilation.

After countless failed attempts, no one had any hope left for this square cauldron, which was suspected to be a celestial treasure; it was simply regarded as an unshakeable ornament.

Xiao Tianhe had originally thought the same thing, but now he has changed his mind.
