Chapter 1289 Progress in Supernatural Power, 1 No. 1 Gold?

"Tsk tsk tsk, I always thought that these ten divine sects were just good-for-nothings, not caring about the lives of the people in the city or helping to defend the city. Now it seems that they are not entirely useless."

"That's good, so we won't be like headless flies. If we really had to fight our way through city by city, it would have taken forever."

"Speaking of Gu, you'd better work hard in the upcoming Three Enclosures Imperial Selection and try to take first place. Then you can become the Human Emperor of the Three Enclosures Sinful Sea. Once you become the Human Emperor, give us, the Four Sages of Ancient Times, a formal title. Then our Four Sages of Ancient Times will not only be famous throughout the vast universe, but also throughout the Three Enclosures Sinful Sea, hahaha..."

On the way back, Suixing was still talking about how he dreamed of becoming the eldest of the Four Sages of antiquity.

Gu Xiu was already used to Sui Xing's nagging, so he ignored him and kept trying to use his hearing ability as he walked.

Gu Xiu rarely had the opportunity to use the supernatural powers he gained during the Nascent Soul stage.

Because most of the enemies he faced had higher cultivation levels than him, and apart from the Emperor's Vision he later acquired and the Source Observation ability of the Judgement God, the other two divine abilities of the Nascent Soul Five Gods were often restricted and could not be used.

These two supernatural powers, whether it is the "listening power" which is similar to telepathy and can hear people's voices, or the "cashier power" which can manipulate people's minds through words.

They are all extremely powerful, even frighteningly so.

However, these two supernatural abilities are only useful to those with a lower cultivation level than him, making them seem rather useless.

after all.

Given Gu Xiu's strength, most of his opponents were at a higher level than him, rendering his supernatural abilities useless. As for cultivators at a lower level, Gu Xiu couldn't use his supernatural abilities either.

So much so that after not using it for a long time, Gu Xiu would sometimes forget that he possessed these two supernatural abilities.

But this time.

Having witnessed firsthand the Yin-Yang School's adherence to the natural order and the Mohist School's ability to withstand even the slightest setback, Gu Xiu also thought about his own two supernatural abilities that he had hardly ever used.

This is not the vast universe; both the strong and the weak live in these twelve cities. Moreover, most of the strong will build their own forces, and possessing these two divine abilities, if used properly, can produce extraordinary results.

Just like now, on his way back to the inn after leaving the Yin-Yang School temple, Gu Xiu's listening ability never stopped, and a large number of thoughts were constantly gathering.

"Nan Jun is so heartless and cruel, he is a really evil person. Fortunately, the city lord broke away from Nan Jun, otherwise we would definitely be the ones to suffer in the end."

"Good, good, good! The Holy Fire Palace has finally fallen. Serves them right! Those scoundrels who acted like bullies should all be thrown in jail and beheaded one by one!"

"I heard that the special envoy from Wuwei City is going to become the deputy city lord. He's really amazing. But why doesn't he like my daughter? That girl deliberately walks around that courtyard every day. It would be so nice to run into her."

"..."

Whether they were ordinary citizens in the city, soldiers or officials whose spiritual cultivation was not high, none of them could hide from Gu Xiu's listening ability. All their thoughts entered Gu Xiu's ears.

more importantly.

"The consumption has decreased because of my profound energy, including the fact that my profound energy can be completely converted into divine soul power!"

Gu Xiu was pleasantly surprised.

He had used the listening ability before, but no matter what kind of ability it was, the consumption was extremely high. Unless he was listening to a mortal with no cultivation at all, once he was facing a cultivator, the higher the cultivation level, the greater the consumption would be.

Similarly, the stronger the opponent's soul, the greater the consumption of energy, and the weaker the ability to probe. The opponent may even be able to detect the eavesdropping.

But now, these problems are no longer problems.

Whether it's a mortal or a cultivator, the consumption is not significant for Gu Xiu. In fact, if he doesn't mind the noise, he could keep this supernatural power running all day without any problem.

Moreover, even when facing a cultivator of a higher level, although it is impossible to find out what the other party is thinking without their knowledge, as long as one is careful, one can still find out whether the other party is telling the truth or lying, whether they are hostile or friendly, and other relatively simple thoughts.

"How about we find someone to test the treasurer's supernatural powers?"

Having confirmed his ability to hear, Gu Xiu wanted to try the cashier's ability as well. This ability allowed him to influence the other party with his words, and even to make the other party act according to his words entirely through the power of language.

It can be considered a form of forced soul control.

but……

Who should we ask to try it?

Gu Xiu glanced around and saw that many people recognized him. Some gave him flirtatious looks, some pointed and whispered, some bowed and scraped, and even a few pretty women offered to become his maids.

This is clearly not the time to try to use supernatural powers on people.

Moreover, Gu Xiu didn't want to find a mortal with little cultivation to try it out.

Pointless.

As he was walking, Gu Xiu suddenly felt his clothes being tugged. He turned around and saw Shi Siling staring straight at him.

"What's wrong?" Gu Xiu asked, puzzled.

But then Shi Siling pointed to the women that Gu Xiu had ignored, and then pointed to herself.

Gu Xiu was stunned for a moment.

While envisioning the future, Sui Xing took the initiative to translate for Gu Xiu: "Gu boy, what she means is that if you want a maid, she can be one. There's no need to look for ordinary women. Tsk tsk tsk, this little girl is silly, she's even jealous of someone."

Gu Xiu ignored Sui Xing's words and just looked at Shi Siling deeply before saying, "Just stay with me. I won't abandon you until you recover."

"Mmm~!"

The anxiety in Shi Siling's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a smile and satisfaction.

Gu Xiu remained silent. Just now, he subconsciously used his listening ability on Shi Siling, thinking that Shi Siling's soul was weak and her thoughts were chaotic, so she probably couldn't hear anything at all.

The result revealed that Shi Siling was indeed mentally weak and mentally confused, but her inner thoughts were exceptionally simple, and she kept repeating only one sentence:

"I'm sorry, don't leave me."

"I'm sorry, don't leave me..."

She forgot everything.

All I remember is saying sorry to myself and hoping I won't abandon her.

Gu Xiu didn't say anything more, but quickened his pace toward his house. After walking for a while, Gu Xiu arrived at his courtyard. There, outside the gate, was a figure in a blue robe, looking weak and helpless, squatting in the corner of the wall.

Upon seeing Gu Xiu, the other person immediately came forward to greet him: "Gu Xiu... Vice City Lord Gu!"

"Master Pei?" Gu Xiu was somewhat surprised.

This person was Pei Yanzhou, the half-saint of the Mo family who almost caused a major disaster. It was only because Gu Xiu took the initiative to ask him to help break the Sacred Wax Stone that his reputation was not completely ruined.

Pei Yanzhou looked somewhat awkward, and said hesitantly with his head down, "Thanks to Vice City Lord Gu's intervention, I was prevented from causing a major disaster. I have already stated that if Vice City Lord Gu can save Sihuo City, I am willing to serve you..."

"And then?" Gu Xiu asked.

“Then…” Pei Yanzhou glanced around; quite a few people were now watching them, causing his face to flush red. But he finally took a deep breath and, in front of everyone, knelt on one knee:

"From this day forward, I, Pei Yanzhou, am willing to serve you as my lord and obey your commands!"

These words immediately caused an uproar in the audience.

Who would have thought that Master Pei, who was so illustrious yesterday, would openly acknowledge a lord in the street today?

Even Gu Xiu was somewhat surprised.

Pei Yanzhou did say those words to Gu Xiu in the main hall, but after protecting the core of the Holy Light of Sihuo City, Pei Yanzhou left first. Gu Xiu didn't really expect the other party to keep his verbal agreement, so he didn't care.

I didn't expect that.

The other party was actually waiting for him at his door, and even openly acknowledged him as their lord.

Is this... truly a promise kept?
