Chapter 1102: Chapter 647: Saving Face
Due to the unique nature of the Demon Buddha Law, the Hyakki witches are naturally drawn to each other, creating a subtle sensation when they co close.
Of course, this is generally not a good thing, since although this cultivation technique originates from Buddhism, it is essentially the Demon Buddha thod, with undertones hinting at devouring.
To manifest the final Demon Buddha Form, a well-cultivated Hyakki must transform one another, gathering the Power of Hyakki to achieve Great Achievent and attain the Buddha’s Fruit Position.
Because of this special cultivation thod, the mystical sensing between the Hyakki becos sowhat terrifying, resembling a “hunting” sensation, especially as more powerful demons have an even stronger perception….
However, strength is inert, and people are dynamic. Pure power is neither good nor evil, the key lies in how the user wields it.
For example, at this mont….
The Great Sun halo behind Dorothy’s head shimred, the Prajna wisdom of a Bodhisattva made her heart like a clear mirror, yet the originally placid Heart Lake suddenly rippled.
These ripples expanded like radar signals, with their center clearly indicating the locations of other Hyakki witches.
The detection range for an average Hyakki witch is typically limited to several thousand ters, while more adept ones might sense distances of tens or even hundreds of kiloters, but Dorothy….
Hmm, she seed to have enabled a full-map Perspective Cheat, her Heart Lake filled with ripples.
Do you understand the worth of instant Bodhisattva Realm?
Amidst these screen-filling ripples, a few stood out, likely indicating so of the more powerful Hyakki witches.
However, the Hobody Witch imdiately noticed an anomaly, where several ripples overlapped, moving rapidly, swallowing other ripples as they passed and quickly heading to the next area.
“Is soone hunting the Hyakki?”
This peculiar scene made Dorothy’s heart tighten. She observed the trajectory of the overlapping ripples and quickened her pace.
She was a bit worried that perhaps another Hyakki witch had discerned the cultivation thod of the Demon Buddha Law and had begun hunting.
Fortunately, she breathed a sigh of relief upon reaching the scene.
Oh, turns out it’s just an onmyoji exorcising demons.
Although Dorothy’s impression of these onmyojis from Japan wasn’t very good due to Kamo Tadayuki’s previous actions, she wasn’t biased enough to label all onmyojis the sa.
It’s simply a case of any forest being ho to all kinds of birds; one cannot judge an entire profession by individual rits or faults.
However, since Kamo Tadayuki, the Bureau Chief of the Yin Yang Bureau, was already corrupt, it stands to reason that if the upper beam isn’t straight, the lower beams are likely bent too.
Luckily, after this trip to the underworld, the Hobody Witch acquired a rather suitable little ability for occasions like these.
“Eye of Judgnt, open.”
In Dorothy’s eyes, the phantom of the Ghost Gate flashed and vanished, subtly altering her vision.
Similar to the Heavenly Eye view from Observing Qi Technique, everything appeared shrouded in mist in her sight, each person enveloped in an aura.
However, unlike the multicolored aura signifying various fates observed through the Observing Qi Technique, the Eye of Judgnt view revealed only two colors.
Red and gold.
Red represented Karmic Force, gold represented rit.
This Eye of Judgnt was a new ability gifted by her Good Sister during the cherry blossom feast. Yet, this ti, it wasn’t an exclusive ability for Dorothy, but rely a professional skill.
The Underworld System was due for a reform soon, set to establish a specialized agency nad the “Underworld Tribunal” responsible for judging the souls of witches after death, determining their fate in the next life.
The Eye of Judgnt, therefore, served as the exclusive professional skill for Underworld Judges, enabling them to discern the karmic and ritorious forces of a witch’s soul at a glance, easing subsequent reincarnation judgnt.
However, since the Underworld Tribunal was still in preparatory stages, Dorothy might be the only Underworld Judge for now, enjoying a beta test privilege.
Of course, since judgnt requires a legal basis, with reasoning to rely upon, the Eye of Judgnt’s evaluations weren’t baseless accusations; this ability operated on a comprehensive set of judgnt standards.
Nonetheless, these judgnt standards weren’t dictated by the witches themselves but were personally decreed by the Mother of the World.
Simply put, actions beneficial to the growth of the Witch World are considered rit, while those detrintal are regarded as Karmic Force, with the two systems calculated independently, unable to cancel each other out.
To simplify, if you save one person but kill another, saving is rit, killing results in Karmic Force, and rescuing soone doesn’t negate the Karmic Force incurred by killing.
Thus, when witches pass into the underworld, their rits and Karmic Forces will be totaled and evaluated by the judges who will make the final decision by comparing the two.
Still, Dorothy found that the Mother of the World’s judgnt criteria had a sowhat peculiar angle.
The mont she obtained the Eye of Judgnt, she recklessly glanced at her Good Sister and the two little ones, almost endangering herself with red eye disease.
