The shadow figure also sensed what was about to happen. With a grim face, it sneered, “Aren’t you a righteous cultivator? What, are you now ready to kill these innocent people? You’re just another hypocrite like us.”
Lin Yi paid no heed to the shadow’s outcry. With a thought, he fully converted his Wood Element Spiritual Power into Poison Element Spiritual Power, allowing these tormented civilians to die without pain.
Soon, he sensed a strong resentment slowly surfacing from these corpses.
Some resentment would gradually fade over time, but the resentment of these freshly deceased people, who suffered endless torment from the Paper Shadow Gate Cultivator, was the most potent.
At that moment, he took out the Rebirth Charm and slowly drew out the intangible resentment existing within the bodies through its influence.
Soon, a dense resentment emerged from these bodies, while some resentment was purified into white light spots under the effect of the Rebirth Charm.
When the resentment completely surfaced, Lin Yi directly crushed the Rebirth Charm. With the interruption of the rebirth process, the resentment spontaneously condensed into human forms.
Then, he used a punch loaded with Thunder and Lightning, beating the shadow until it flickered, leaving it barely alive.
Even though this resentment was very strong, it had just surfaced, not even qualifying as the weakest Evil Spirits. It couldn’t inflict significant harm on the Foundation Establishment Realm shadow, but would instead suffer damage itself.
“Alright, go take your revenge,” said Lin Yi with a wave of his hand. After killing these innocent people, he noticed no pop-up messages about a deduction of Virtue Points.
Under the effect of the “Little Compassion Little Mercy” title, if he killed an evil person, he would receive reward karma virtue. In contrast, if he killed an innocent individual, he would have his karma virtue deducted.
But no subtraction occurred now. The only explanation was that killing these civilians and helping them find release was also a form of mercy.
The humanoid figures formed by these resentments rushed towards the shadow of the Paper Shadow Gate, opened their mouths wide and started gnawing incessantly.
The Paper Shadow Gate’s shadow issued painful screams because it was now a soul body. All the pain it suffered was penetrating its soul.
Soon, these resentments tore the shadow of the Paper Shadow Gate to shreds and devoured it all.
Lin Yi wasted no time. He used the Rebirth Charm again and carried out the rebirth process in mid-air, earning a large number of Virtue Points.
Previously, when he transcended a Dark Red Evil Puppet in the Golden Core Realm, he had only obtained ten thousand virtue points.
But the shadows of the Paper Shadow Gate were only in the Foundation Establishment Realm. Each one gave him eight thousand virtue points, indicating the atrocities they caused were comparable to a Dark Red Evil Puppet.
Six guys from the Paper Shadow Gate brought him nearly fifty thousand virtue points. It was simply a big gift bag.
When he initially crafted his Golden Cores, he had only accumulated about forty to fifty thousand Virtue Points. These guys surely deserved to die.
“You’ve had your revenge. Now go and be reincarnated.” Lin Yi took out the Rebirth Charm and transcended these resentments.
Even though these resentments had devoured the shadow of the Paper Shadow Gate and grown considerably, they didn’t resist at all. They let the holy light of the Rebirth Charm shine upon them.
Under the effect of the Rebirth Charm, these resentments gradually lost their frightening appearance and restored their normal state, turning into white phantom forms.
Just like the resentments he had transcended from the bones, these white phantom forms kneeled on the ground, bowing their heads to Lin Yi in gratitude. Then, they turned into specks of starlight and disappeared in the air.
Then, a pop-up window appeared again. This time, Lin Yi had the chance to carefully inspect it and found that besides Virtue Points, he had also earned something called Mercy Points.
He quickly opened the previous pop-up window. Indeed, after transcending the resentment that had formed from the bones, he had also received Mercy Points.
Suddenly, Lin Yi sensed something. Without taking the time to look closely, he hastily dashed into the cave and swept everything inside.
He then crunched the Teleportation Mantra and teleported directly from the cave back to the Dan God Secret Realm.
Very quickly, a sword shadow pierced the mountain body and entered the cave. Finding it empty, his face changed slightly: “Escaping so swiftly, without a sound, could it be an Old monster of Primordial Infant?”
He conducted a thorough investigation of the surroundings, and his face turned even more morose. The mangled corpses and multitude of skeletons around served as morbid reminders that this was a place of ruthless cruelty. All these people had been tortured to death.
Although, upon his careful probing, he noticed that there was not a trace of resentment. He could only sense the residual aura of the Rebirth Charm.
Could it be that there was a Heretic Sect here that had decided to abandon this old lair and carry out a cleansing and transcendence?
A Heretic Sect which sheltered an Old monster of Primordial Infant under the nose of the Sky Sword Sect, this was implausible.
Yet, he shook his head. Heretics would never carry out an act of transcendence, no matter how heavy the resentment. It didn’t affect them.
The only plausible explanation was that a Righteous Cultivator accidentally discovered the hidden Heretic Sect here and exterminated them. Of course, it was also possible he was drawn to some hidden treasures.
His face darkened, either possibility did nothing to change the fact that this heretic sect existed under the nose of the Sky Sword Sect.
The Sky Sword Sect, who prided themselves as the leading Righteous Sect, had a torture ground right beneath their eyes, used for cultivation. It was a resounding slap to their faces.
Upon his return, this Golden Core Real Person from the Sky Sword Sect engaged in a discussion with the other Real Persons, and initiated a cleanup operation within the sect’s sphere of influence.
Several Golden Core Real Persons moved out together, eradicating all hidden Heretic Sects in their territory.
On the other side, Lin Yi returned to the Dan God Secret Realm with the treasures of the Paper Shadow Sect. Having a sensing ability comparable to that of a nascent stage Primordial Infant, he had sensed the arrival of the Sky Sword Sect’s Golden Core Real Person well in advance.
Hence, he quickly teleported back to the Secret Realm. Avoiding any contact was the true path to safety.
Even though a Golden Core Real person from the Sky Sword Sect could not harm him, he didn’t want to reveal himself just to flaunt his abilities. There was no sense nor benefit to it.
Later on, Lin Yi teleported to the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden. He didn’t rush to inspect the treasures of the Paper Shadow Sect or deal with Shen Bao Hua, the master of Flower Thief, but rather opened his title panel to examine the function of his Mercy Value.
Ever since he received the title “Little Compassion Little Mercy”, he had been acting as a righteous exterminator. However, all he had earned were Virtue Points, and this was his first time acquiring Mercy Value.
As per his speculations, the Mercy Value was probably related to the title “Little Compassion Little Mercy.” Thus, it must be significant.
Lin Yi’s gaze fell on the symbol for Mercy Value, and a line of small text floated up below it: “Mercy value: The host can gain mercy value by performing acts of compassion. When Mercy Value accumulates to a certain amount, your title can be upgraded to [Great Compassion]…”
“When accumulated to 100 points, you will be granted a single opportunity to experience the effects of [Great Compassion].”
Seeing this information, a trace of delight escaped his face. As he had guessed, the Mercy Value did play a significant role in helping the title “Little Compassion Little Mercy” to upgrade.
If all went as expected, [Great Compassion] would be the actual complete title. Much like [Color is Void], it could unleash enormous power.
Lin Yi was full of anticipation. If the effects of little luck were so great, the effects of great luck would be astronomical.
At this thought, his eyes couldn’t help but fall onto one of the storage bags. It contained a fattened sheep.
All the good deeds he had done previously did not yield Mercy Value. The only difference was that he allowed the person full of resentment to take their revenge, which put an end to that cycle of karma.
That being said, he could leverage Shen Bao Hua, the Flower Thief’s master, in the same way. He only needed to look for the place where Shen had tortured his victims, attracts their resentment, and let them take their revenge.
If he successfully gains the Mercy Value, he could continuously replicate this method to gather more.
