548: If you can't solve it, I'll do it.
Everything fell into place naturally!
Firstly, it was due to the Celestial Human Attraction, which allowed him to naturally merge with the Dao, resulting in an extremely high-grade Dao Rhyme. This is also why the quality of the Celestial Human Attraction greatly impacts a Cultivator's subsequent cultivation; a good Celestial Human Attraction is like riding the east wind, soaring straight to the clouds.
Secondly, it was because of the Ear Acuity Pill. The Ear Acuity Pill was specifically designed for ear decline and greatly amplifies Dao Rhyme.
Thirdly, it was because he was different from the otherworldly people; the level of education he received was naturally different.
With all these reasons combined, the original noise began to slowly disappear, and everything in Heaven and Earth started to become orderly. The sound of the wind was still so soothing, the rustling of grass leaves so gentle, and the chirping of insects so pleasant.
At this moment, a peculiar Dao Rhyme seemed to merge with his ears, making them more agile.
Within his Qi Sea, the True Qi, like clouds and mist, now condensed into droplets, transforming into raindrops, and it began to rain in his Qi Sea.
The raindrops fell, collecting into puddles in the Qi Sea, then continuously expanding as True Qi transformed into liquid.
The rain continued to pour, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from all around furiously flowed into Shen Bei's body, forming a Spiritual Qi vortex around him.
But this was still not enough; the True Qi that had turned into raindrops was being consumed rapidly.
If it were other Cultivators or Martial Artists, they would need massive amounts of Qi Gathering Pills, Medicinal Pills, and other resources to provide True Qi at this point.
But Shen Bei didn't need them; he activated the Seven-Colored Divine Radiance, refining the essence stored in his body. True Qi was replenished frantically, and the rain in his Qi Sea grew heavier.
This was an Opportunity others did not have. Even with vast resources, others could not refine them in one go. But Shen Bei easily accomplished it, so the rain in his Qi Sea grew larger and larger.
An ordinary Nine-Rank Martial Artist, even after overcoming the Little Five Decays, would only form a puddle of liquid True Qi in their Qi Sea. But Shen Bei was different; this rain lasted a long time and was very heavy.
In his Qi Sea, water droplets gathered into a pond.
That's right! His Qi Sea at this moment had clouds and mist above and a pond below, with the True Qi rippling and undulating.
Judging by this sight alone, some who had passed the Little Five Decays could not compare.
He was incomparably different from before; the True Qi in his body had more than doubled. The vast True Qi made him feel truly unlike a human, giving him the sensation of a true Great Cultivator.
Of course, this was just one of the changes.
It had rained in his Qi Sea, and Shen Bei in reality also felt as if it had rained.
There was a feeling of a fresh mountain after new rain, everything so crisp and clean.
If he wished, the sounds around him were crystal clear, every detail apparent, even allowing him to hear the panting of the dog next door.
Shen Bei's thoughts soared, hearing everything in Heaven and Earth with such clarity. He could even pinpoint the location of an insect by its chirping, understanding everything with ease.
The 'Earsight' part of 'Earsight and Eyesight' was truly achieved. Shen Bei now had a new understanding of the profoundness of Martial Gods. ...
Stabilizing his Realm was not difficult for Shen Bei; he quickly used the Seven-Colored Divine Radiance to stabilize his Realm. He spent more time getting accustomed to his hearing.
When another day arrived, Shen Bei, who hadn't slept for two days, felt no fatigue; instead, he was full of energy.
He stopped cultivating and looked at the two jade bottles placed before him.
"King Wei said even the most Genius Cultivator needs three Ear Acuity Pills. Was he deliberately saying that to subtly praise me, make me arrogant, and then act recklessly, so he could find an excuse to reprimand me?"
Shen Bei secretly remained vigilant. Perhaps he was overthinking it, but it's always wise to be cautious. King Wei might be deeply cunning.
As for King Wei saying even the most Genius needed three, he simply ignored it. There were so many Prodigies in this world; if he could achieve it in one go with one, surely others could too.
...
Shen Bei walked out refreshed, taking leisurely steps to a breakfast shop in Liu Lane to eat some underground "delicacies."
He couldn't tell what the food was made of, but at least it wouldn't kill him.
Full of energy, he then slowly made his way to the Night Watcher Courtyard.
Along the way, he saw many Night Watchers. Upon seeing Shen Bei, they all stopped, bowed, and called out, "Team Leader." Some of them showed a hint of reverence in their eyes.
News of Shen Bei using himself as bait to kill dozens of powerful individuals had already spread throughout the Imperial City yesterday.
Those who had not paid much attention to Shen Bei now looked solemn.
This person, who had been unknown, had shaken the Imperial City two or three times in just a few days. Each time was a major event!
The death of Hong Long goes without saying.
Just this time, Hong Long's remnants were almost all killed because of him.
As one of the few Great Cultivators of the Divine Power Realm who returned from across the great sea, Hong Long's power was naturally terrifying. But now... it had been almost completely uprooted.
For example, the night before last, several more Martial God powerhouses died.
Martial God existences were influential figures everywhere. The Night Watcher's Team Leader, Bi Kun, and others were merely Nine-Rank Martial Artists or Martial Gods. These were the pillars of every faction.
With these few dead, what kind of people could remain in Hong Long's lineage?!
The influence of this Da Shouzi was basically going to be annihilated from the world.
Moreover, from this, it could be seen that this Team Leader was not only powerful himself, but his backing was even more unfathomable. You could look down on him, but you couldn't look down on his patron.
In just a few days, Shen Bei went from being a nobody to one of the Imperial City's Ten Young Masters, and his ranking was not at the bottom, but among the top.
Shen Bei didn't know these things, but the Night Watchers knew them all too well.
Therefore... the attitude of the Night Watchers towards Shen Bei had also undergone a huge change.
As Shen Bei was walking inside, he saw Bi Tuo and a few others rushing out.
Seeing this, Shen Bei called out, "Nephew Bi, what are you rushing for?"
Bi Tuo's mouth twitched slightly at Shen Bei's address. He said, "Reporting, Team Leader, more people have died in Liu Lane, and this time, ten people have died. They are all young, strong men with good talent and strength."
The Night Watchers were under great pressure now. Most of the people who could afford to indulge in pleasure in Liu Lane and were also quite strong were connected to the Imperial City's prominent families.
If these people died, they naturally wouldn't let it go. One or two might be fine, but if too many collectively put pressure on the Night Watchers, it would be a headache.
Although the Night Watchers were transcendent, if problems arose within their scope of duty, they had no grounds for defense. At this point, their transcendent status brought transcendent pressure.
"The matter in Liu Lane, then you all don't need to go," Shen Bei said.
Bi Tuo was a bit slow to react, but Shen Bei didn't bother with them, directly instructing, "You all wait here. After I've seen King Wei, I'll tell you what to do!"
He then left.
Bi Tuo and the others exchanged glances.
One of the Night Watchers couldn't help but ask, "The matter is urgent. If we don't go early, the scene might be destroyed, and we'll have no clues. Should we really wait for him?"
Bi Tuo glanced at him and said leisurely, "He even called me nephew. Can you ignore his words?"
... The others fell silent. Yes, he was the Team Leader. Judging from the trap he set for many powerful individuals the night before last, he was not someone easy to deal with. Would they dare not obey his orders?
It's just... waiting for his instructions, could he possibly solve the problem in Liu Lane?
