With him now forming his spirit sea, his perception and control of his spirit energy had gotten even better. The strength of a seventh level Qi accumulation expert was flowing through his veins right now.
Grey felt that if he were to fight against himself who just entered Sky Mist city, he should have some certain amount of control of the battle! The battle against the Devil's race cultivator might not even have gone the way it went if he had been in the seventh level!
At most, the devil's race cultivator would have left more than just his storage bag. But with all his strength, Grey felt that he was lacking in techniques! The number of techniques that the Devil's race cultivator showed were more than his.
Grey felt that if he had given him the chance to display his full might, he would have been the one running away. He also noticed that although the Sky mist art did not give any attack advantage, it gave you a strong suppressive force instead band was capable of changing the battle terrain to you liking.
He remembered Alice's battle which she used the fog from the Sky Mist art to control her opponents movements and restrict his space. Although all these things would become useless when one advances, to Qi accumulation expert, this could mean life or death.
After a long while of contemplation, Grey decided to hunt wanted criminals later in the night. Seeing there was nothing else to do, Grey brought out the wine he bought a few days ago and began to read more information from the Jade slip.
By the time the grey clouds had turned black and the setting sun cast a red glow on God's hand, Grey had finished reading the information on the Devil's race.
A faint glint appeared in his eyes but it was suppressed by Grey in the next moment. The information about the Devil's race also contained a lot of information about humanity's past! For example, which races were destroyed in the Burning era, or the bizarre existences that completely transformed races, and dangerous territories that no man dare goes to.
All of this information was recorded only a few years after God descended, so things might have actually changed but not too much.
He also learned of a corroded zone that was much bigger than other corroded zones! In fact, it housed the strongest bizarre existence as a guardian.
Places in the dead sea that should be avoided, and things or ritual that should not be practiced as it was seen as a act of blasphemy towards God!
'Wait... Blasphemy?'
Despite the change that suddenly descended thousands of years ago, there were some acts that shouldn't be practiced as it was seen as a act of blasphemy towards God. And such acts were always punished by God himself!
Grey would've liked to know how God punished the blasphemers, but the Jade slip didn't say. Saying that recording it would also be seen as an act of blasphemy towards God.
'So despite all the curses and swears towards God with nothing actually happening, there were some acts that God wouldn't condone?' Grey thought to himself.
'Of course I am forgeting that God doesn't care about their opinions of mortals! It might not even hear such hateful words and be even less concerned about it! Only the acts of cultivators which he finds offensive and threatening would he show his anger. After all, we are cultivating against his will anyway...' Grey's lips curled up into a faint smirk as his eyebrows twitched.
Grey was not afraid of the wrath of God, as much as he hater him he had never spoken his thoughts and outright cursed God. But the anger and despise in his eyes couldn't be hidden as well.
Seeing the huge hand that cast a shadow over each and everyone's hearts in this continent, Grey felt a hint of nostalgia towards earth. At least on earth he still had a life. There was no need for him to constantly watch his back, fearing that he may be attacked, or worse... Backstabed.
But he was not sure if he might even be able to go back to earth. In the transmigration web novels and anime's he watched, the protagonist never goes back home after transmigrating to another world.
'That's if I even am the protagonist.'
After reading some more, the Sky was fully darkened! Grey slowly walked out of his office as he checked the wanted list that had been sent to his Jade slip. Taking a quick glance, he put on his detective hat, readied his dagger and poison and set off with no particular direction in mind.
At first, he had some trouble controlling his speed but soon got used to it. Running into a dark and suspicious district, Grey put away his detective badge and activated a talisman he bought earlier to change his appearance.
Soon, his exquisite and extraordinary appearance turned average. His hair color was no longer grey and instead black. But the black was so dull and lifeless... In fact the appearance he chose was so dull and lifeless and average that you would not even take a second glance at him at him. And if you did, his average features would be hard to remember.
Under the corner of darkness, he stealthily walked down the streets. But nobody was in sight. Sky Mist city had placed a permanent curfew on the citizens. No movement was permitted after 11'o clock. Only cultivators from departments like the detective agency department had the right to walk during these hours.
This was done to prevent collateral damage whenever there were battle between the forces of Sky mist and criminals. Take for example the night raid on the Secret Order. The operation was executed at night, so as to identity who was a member from the Secret Order and who was not.
Any civilian caught after curfew hours that night were detained.
