Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

Chapter 75: The Sound Only Liu Zimo Can Hear!

Hu Xianzong was completely dumbfounded!

He never expected that just a second ago, Advisor Liu was treating him kindly, encouraging him, and even generously giving him martial arts techniques and secret arts.

But in the next second, he directly attacked him!

This sudden tearing of his spiritual gate forcefully invaded his sea of consciousness with a powerful divine sense.

It made his entire soul tremble incessantly, unable to muster any thoughts of resistance!

It was too strong!

This was definitely the greatest crisis Hu Xianzong had encountered since awakening his abilities and opening up his sea of consciousness.

He had never imagined that someone in this world could have such a powerful spiritual consciousness!

Like a god, invincible!

[During this period of time, there have been rumors outside that Advisor Liu from the Military Affairs Department is a martial arts genius, and his cultivation level may have already surpassed the Golden Body realm, reaching the legendary Grandmaster realm!]

[Now it seems that everyone has greatly underestimated the true strength of Advisor Liu!]

[If it weren't for experiencing it firsthand, who could have imagined that while this Advisor Liu is a martial arts genius, his mental power is also so formidable?!]

[Now that he has suddenly attacked me, he must have discovered my hidden wind and fire abilities. What awaits me next?]

[Could it be that this Advisor Liu also wants to control me and dissect me for research?]

Hu Xianzong's mind was in a state of panic and confusion.

At this moment, he felt like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

Liu Zimo naturally heard Hu Xianzong's thoughts at this moment, but he didn't pay too much attention to them.

At this moment, his main focus was on searching for the devouring spirit insect hidden in this sea of consciousness.

Based on the current situation, it seemed that Hu Xianzong had not been affected by the devouring spirit insect, or even if he had been affected, he was not aware of it.

At least, after entering this sea of consciousness, Liu Zimo did not see the unique spiritual web of the devouring spirit insect.

Either the devouring spirit insect had just invaded Hu Xianzong's sea of consciousness and hadn't had time to establish its web yet.

Or the devouring spirit insect had sensed the danger in advance and had quietly retracted its spiritual web before Liu Zimo's divine sense came to investigate, completely hiding itself.

Regardless of which situation it was, as long as Liu Zimo confirmed that the little bug was hiding in this sea of consciousness, he would not let it escape right under his nose!

"Little bug, stop hiding. I've already found you!"

"If you obediently come out, I might consider sparing your life. Otherwise, don't blame me for directly pulling you out and killing you to obtain your crystal!"

Liu Zimo's divine sense proclaimed loudly in Hu Xianzong's sea of consciousness, causing his spiritual waves to spread throughout the entire space.

"Heh, you found me?"

"Such a cliché trick!"

"Do you really think I, Yao Lingling, am just a newly hatched little caterpillar? Would I be so easily fooled?"

"Hmph, the hidden talent of my devouring spirit insect clan is unparalleled in the entire Illusionary Demon Realm!"

"Don't just consider me a naive native of a low-level world. Even if the kings of our Illusionary Demon Realm personally came, they might not be able to find my trace!"

As Liu Zimo's words fell, his divine sense sensed a faint fluctuation of thoughts quietly rising from the depths of Hu Xianzong's sea of consciousness.

Confirmed!

The "Yao Lingling" mentioned by "Yao Lingling Zero" earlier was indeed lurking in Hu Xianzong's sea of consciousness!

However, after hearing Yao Lingling's confident self-praise, Liu Zimo couldn't help but find it somewhat ridiculous.

This little bug claimed that the hidden talent of their clan was so great that even the kings of the demon race would find it difficult to detect.

Wasn't this just nonsense?

With their tendency to release thought fluctuations and talk to themselves involuntarily, which king wouldn't be able to sense their presence?

Hmm... wait a minute!

As if he had thought of something, Liu Zimo's eyebrows suddenly raised. He quickly separated a strand of his consciousness and quietly asked the trembling soul of Hu Xianzong, "Xiao Hu, honestly tell me, did you hear or sense any special sound fluctuations just now?"

Hu Xianzong's mind trembled, and he quickly responded, "No, just now, besides Advisor Liu's divine sense transmission, I didn't hear anything!"

"Advisor Liu, I can assure you that there really is no little bug in my sea of consciousness!"

"If I concealed my strength from you before blaming you, I sincerely apologize here. Can you give me a chance? I promise that in the future, I will only listen to Advisor Liu and be obedient..."

"Alright, I don't have any ill intentions towards you, so there's no need to worry!" Liu Zimo interrupted Hu Xianzong's words and said calmly.

"Wait, once I capture that little bug hidden in your sea of consciousness, you will understand everything!" Liu Zimo said, and with a thought, he once again suppressed Hu Xianzong's soul in a corner of his sea of consciousness to prevent him from causing trouble.

After that, Liu Zimo calmed his mind and once again enveloped the entire sea of consciousness, carefully sensing the whereabouts of "Yao Shiba".

"Indeed, just like how only I can see the lock shadow above others' heads, it seems that only I can eavesdrop on the unconscious thought fluctuations emitted by these devouring spirit bugs!"

"No wonder, after I helped Lou Yuchen kill the devouring spirit bug in his sea of consciousness, he only remembered that he seemed to be influenced and controlled by a small bug, but he had no memory of the devouring spirit bug talking to itself!"

"It turns out that it's not his soul being damaged and forgetting this memory, but he simply can't hear the devouring spirit bug's self-talk!"

Liu Zimo sighed inexplicably in his heart.

If everything goes as expected, this is also the unique ability brought to him by the "Thieving Heaven" ability!

Just like how he can always hear the thoughts of his bound targets, he can easily receive the relevant thought fluctuations and hear the voices of these bugs talking to themselves!

And it seems that other humans or demon beasts do not have this ability!

If that's the case, then devouring spirit bugs without this "self-talk" defect are absolute natural enemies to other humans or demon beasts.

And the reason why Liu Zimo was able to subdue and even kill those devouring spirit bugs one after another before was not only because of the arrogance and carelessness of those bugs themselves, but also because he could always eavesdrop on the thoughts and voices of these bugs, and thus sense their hiding places.

Just like now.

If it weren't for the sudden thought fluctuations of "Yao Shiba" and Liu Zimo's divine sense successfully capturing it, with Liu Zimo's current divine sense perception, he might not have been able to discover the existence of this little bug, let alone capture or kill it.

"Aren't you coming out yet?"

Liu Zimo gathered his thoughts and gradually shifted his gaze to an area in the left direction of the sea of consciousness.

While listening attentively, he continued to provoke and guide the other party to release more thought fluctuations.

"Do you really think I'm deceiving you? Do you really think I can't find your hiding place?!"

"Listen carefully! I'll count to three. After three, if you don't come out on your own, don't blame me for being impolite to you!"

As soon as his words fell, the same thought fluctuations arose again.

But this time, the direction of the thought fluctuations transmitted by the little bug had greatly shifted from before.

It was clear that this little bug was extremely cautious. While complaining in its mind, it also constantly shifted its hiding place to be on the safe side.

"Do you think you can find me? Dream on!"

"In terms of hiding and stealth, in terms of understanding the space of the sea of consciousness, I, a devouring spirit bug, dare to say second, and no other race dares to claim first!"

"This foolish human cultivator, thinking that his spiritual cultivation is slightly stronger, he can discover my traces. It's really overestimating himself, stupid enough to make people laugh!"

"If it weren't for this sea of consciousness space being extremely compatible with my nature, and completely refining it would allow my insect body to advance and transform again, would I let a lowly human cultivator force me into such a situation?"

"Hmph, foolish fellow, you better pray that you can stay alive. Once I successfully transform and advance, I will definitely refine you into my second humanoid puppet, to be at my beck and call for generations!"

"..."

Found it!

Liu Zimo's divine sense trembled, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Taking advantage of "Yao Shiba" talking to itself and its continuous thought fluctuations, he finally discovered and locked onto the source of these chaotic thought fluctuations.

Without any hesitation, Liu Zimo once again increased the output of his divine sense power and directly suppressed and sealed off the area within a hundred meters to the right.

Swish!

After drawing out all the spiritual power and spiritual energy within the sealed space, a chubby, translucent, and tender white bug appeared out of thin air!

Beside him, Hu Xianzong, who had been closely observing Liu Zimo's every move, was shocked to the core when he saw this incredible scene, exclaiming in astonishment,

"I... damn it!"

"Is this a joke?!"

"There's actually a little bug parasitizing in my sea of consciousness?!!"
