Chapter 1214 Gu Xiu Reveals His True Colors, Divine Path Sparring
As Fei Boyuan spoke, Gu Xiu stared at him intently. He could clearly see the madness in Fei Boyuan's eyes, a madness that yearned to destroy everything, but within that madness lay a hint of sorrow and helplessness.
Looking into those eyes, Gu Xiu felt as if he were seeing a pitiful person who had fallen into a deep abyss.
He exhausted all his strength and searched for every possible way to save himself, but in the end he could only die, rot, and stink in this quagmire, eventually becoming part of it.
He was unwilling to accept this, so he wanted to destroy everything.
Destroy the world, destroy yourself.
Gu Xiu finally withdrew his gaze from him and looked instead at the temples along the Second Ring Road.
From the moment the city gates were attacked until now, these temples have remained completely indifferent, showing no sign of concern for the lives of those within the city, or perhaps they possess absolute confidence.
"The temple exists to harvest the power of wishes. A little charity makes some people become more steadfast believers. They even say it's to give birth to a true god to solve all these problems, but in reality, they're just a bunch of self-deceiving stinking bastards."
"You don't seem to believe in religion?"
“From the moment my Shinto was abolished, I saw clearly what Shinto really is.”
“But you still have divine power within you; it seems you have switched to a different divine path.”
“They are just tools. They need my willpower, and I need the power of these things. I don’t believe in them or worship them. I just use their power to accomplish things.”
These words made Gu Xiu glance at Fei Boyuan again.
During his stay in Wuwei City, Gu Xiu had gathered quite a bit of information, but he was still not very familiar with the power of the Divine Path. He only vaguely guessed that the Divine Path seemed to gather the power of vows similar to that of Buddhism, and then transform it into power that devout believers could directly wield.
Besides that, all that is known is that the entire Sanyuan Niehai (Three Enclosures of Sin) holds the divine way in the highest esteem. No matter how much people argue or how ugly they are, no one dares to disrespect the divine way, not even by saying a few words in private.
As for the person who can openly and frankly say that the power of the divine path is merely a tool he is using, at least so far, Gu Xiu has only heard Fei Boyuan say that.
"If the Holy Light is taken away, Wuwei City will be in imminent danger, and the temple won't care?" Gu Xiu asked.
Fei Boyuan laughed: "You seem to really know nothing about temples."
"I've only been to the temple once," Gu Xiu answered truthfully.
These past few days he'd wanted to investigate the situation, but each time he got close, a sense of crisis forced him to stop.
“No matter how many times you’ve been there, your knowledge of the temple is indeed suspiciously limited. Now I’m starting to wonder if you really are someone from Haoyu.” Fei Boyuan said, his gaze fixed intently on Gu Xiu.
Gu Xiu pondered for a moment, then nodded.
Fei Boyuan is a clever man. Even if he can keep it a secret for now, unless he kills the other party, they will definitely make the connection again. Now that the other party wants to destroy everything, it's better to reveal some information and see if he can get more intelligence in return than to continue keeping it a secret.
"So you really are from Haoyu?" Fei Boyuan couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes, but there was no hostility in them.
"I heard before that Jubao City forcibly summoned a female cultivator from Taiwei Yuan using a forced summoning method. I thought it was fake news, but now it seems to be true. It seems that your Haoyu is not planning to sit idly by and wait for death, and is even acting faster than I expected."
"Some time ago? A female cultivator?" Gu Xiu sensed something was wrong.
"Yes, it was about a few months ago. She was a female cultivator, and I heard she was quite strong, but she was captured, and we haven't heard from her since."
Gu Xiu frowned immediately.
There were only a handful of people who came to Haoyu this time, and only three of them were female cultivators. Given the strange nature of the Three Enclosures Sinful Sea Divine Path power, Gu Xiu wasn't surprised that they were captured, but...
What does "a few months ago" mean?
From the time they set off from Haoyu until now, according to Gu Xiu's own calculations, at most ten days have passed. This is after taking into account the time that might be lost in the pure white space; it is absolutely impossible for several months to have passed.
Is time different in the celestial realm than in the mortal realm? In just a few hours, several months have passed in the outside world.
Just as these thoughts arose, Fei Boyuan added another sentence:
"Speaking of which, a few days ago at a dinner party, I heard that a cultivator from the Vast Universe realm had also been captured in Si Huo City. It is said that the person appeared out of thin air in the temple and was captured on the spot. Many people are making fun of it."
"It seems that quite a few people from Haoyu have come, and they have come in batches."
This time, Gu Xiu won't be able to fix it.
Are more people being arrested?
And it was a few days ago?
what's the situation?
Suddenly, Gu Xiu remembered Guan Xuelan and her disciple, who should have gone to the Burial Immortal Valley but never came back up, as if they had vanished into thin air.
The identities of those arrested in Si Huo City are currently unknown, but they should be from the same batch as myself.
As for Jubao City...
Could it be one of Guan Xuelan's or her group?
They also came to the Three Enclosures of Sin? Even earlier than the others? And it seems they went to the Taiwei Enclosure? Only one unlucky soul was forcibly summoned to the Ziwei Enclosure?
Just for a moment.
A series of thoughts flashed through Gu Xiu's mind.
However, his expression remained completely unchanged, ensuring that no matter how carefully Fei Boyuan observed, he would not be able to glean any further information from this place.
"Actually, you don't need to be so wary of me. Since you are a member of Haoyu, it means we have a basis for an alliance."
"Really?"
“I want to destroy Wuwei City. Your people from Haoyu will surely be happy to see us in internal strife when they come to the Sanyuan Niehai. Destroying a city would only benefit you, so our goals are not conflicting. In that case, we can naturally cooperate.”
It was clear that after confirming Gu Xiu's background, Fei Boyuan had indeed relaxed his vigilance towards him considerably. He did not wait for Gu Xiu's reply, but simply turned around and led Gu Xiu upstairs.
While the Wuwei Hall appears magnificent from the outside, it is, after all, just a large hall, not a tower. Yet, they somehow managed to climb over twenty floors without reaching the top.
Gu Xiu was certain that he was constantly rising, but it was as if he was standing still.
"This is the power of the divine way; it defies logic and can even distort one's perception," Fei Boyuan explained, noticing Gu Xiu's confusion.
“The power of the divine path is completely different from your spiritual energy path.”
"Although we are often no different from ordinary people, from the moment we step into the path of divinity, we are already worlds apart from ordinary people. We can influence the rules of the world to a certain extent."
"Therefore, to you spiritual cultivators, we often appear as mere mortals and ants, but in reality, the divine power we can wield far exceeds your imagination."
"Would you like to try it on?"
This was exactly what Gu Xiu wanted to do, so he nodded immediately. Fei Boyuan then nodded to Li Changgong, who, without any hesitation, instantly raised his longbow and shot it straight at Gu Xiu.
This was just a standard human action. Although it was clear that Li Changgong had practiced diligently before shooting this arrow, in Gu Xiu's eyes, it was at most just an ordinary soldier shooting an arrow.
Logically speaking, such speed and such arrows should have no effect on him.
Can be biased.
From the moment the longbow was aimed at him, Gu Xiu felt an inexplicable force targeting him, giving him a sense that he could not avoid it at all. And when the arrow left the bowstring, this feeling became even stronger.
Gu Xiu took a step and instantly dodged to the side, but the arrow still came towards him, changing its trajectory with his movements.
Gu Xiu became interested.
He brought his right index and middle fingers together, and instantly channeled his spiritual energy, transforming it into a sword aura that shot straight at the arrow. However, he quickly discovered that his spiritual energy passed right through the arrow, without any obstruction or reduction.
He could have continued to control the sword's edge to kill Li Changgong, but the arrow arrived first.
Gu Xiu did attack, but he dodged again. Just as the arrow flashed past him, he reached out and grabbed it. This time he succeeded, but the moment Gu Xiu grabbed it, the arrow brought with it a terrifying tearing force, as if it was going to tear his entire arm apart, starting from his palm.
It's not just the tearing of the physical body, but also the tearing of the soul!
This arrow, which seemed so ordinary, carried such terrifying power that it made Gu Xiu's heart pound.
But the good thing is.
Gu Xiu's physical body was not weak, and his spiritual power was even stronger. He withstood the tearing force of the arrow and held it firmly in his hand, making it unable to move.
After a while.
Gu Xiu felt the power waning from it.
The arrow was still the same arrow, no different from any ordinary arrow. But Gu Xiu could sense that the power it once contained, which had made him feel wary, had completely disappeared.
Is this the power of the divine way?
It can transform ordinary weapons into magical artifacts, and even ignore the obstruction of spiritual energy.
Gu Xiu was surprised and found it somewhat unbelievable.
He had fought Bai Ge before, and at the time he only sensed that the other party could unleash supreme power, but he had always dodged it and had not made direct contact, so he had not made this discovery. Now it seems that the power of the Three Enclosures Sea of Sin is stronger than he imagined.
Moreover, it seems to have an extremely strong ability to restrain Haoyu.
While Gu Xiu was astonished, Li Changgong, who was firing the arrow, and Fei Boyuan, who was observing the situation and ready to provide treatment at any time, were also staring wide-eyed, looking as if they had seen a ghost.
stunned.
