Above all spirits

Chapter 50 Red Sleeves

Gu Yun looked at the woman in front of him again and still felt that it would be better to separate the powers: Stealth and Mimicry.

Because the grafting that the demon performs through the power of the contract is actually just copying and pasting its own power to the other party, allowing the other party to automatically operate this power.

Gu Yun doesn't need the other party to understand the essence of the power, so he's not worried about it being leaked. It's well known in the Upper Realm that it's difficult to conduct experiments and analyze others, and it's even more difficult for people in the Lower Realm to understand power and analyze its techniques.

However, this does not mean that any power can be leaked without regard to the consequences. Powers with a high degree of secrecy will naturally not be circulated among demons in the lower realm.

To be honest, these demons don't need to come down to the mortal realm to work; they've long been under the strict protection of their clan elders.

Gu Yun's assimilation ability is very special. Leaving aside its rarity, the actual assimilation effect and duration are closely related to his own golden soul. It is really too useless for non-Shadow Demons or even non-demon mortals.

What remains are just some basic general powers, and in comparison, stealth and mimicry are more suitable for making contracts.

"I will grant you the powers of stealth and mimicry. From this moment forward, your soul will belong to me and will not be taken from me for the time being. If your words or actions go against my will, you will immediately become a walking corpse. Do you accept?"

"I accept!"

The woman answered without hesitation.

They did not have the slightest concern about Gu Yun's words.

Gu Yun saved him.

If it really costs me my life.

Then give it to him.

...

The contract is established.

The power of rules begins to intervene.

It slowly circulates between the two of them.

Gu Yun released Bai Qing'er, signaling her to stay where she was and not move.

He approached the woman kneeling on the gravel ground alone and gently placed his hand on her forehead.

Follow the guidance of the power of the rules to release your authority and complete the grafting.

In fact, the power of rules was not unfamiliar to Gu Yun.

The power of the rules in this world is not actually hidden.

The most direct methods are contracts, faith, and dimensional travel, all of which allow the beings involved to clearly perceive the power of the rules.

Although it cannot be seen or touched.

However, it did not deliberately hide its existence.

It will make you deeply feel its power.

unstoppable.

Unstoppable.

...

With the grafting completed.

Although the woman did not experience a sudden enlightenment like in the novel, which allowed her cultivation to soar to new heights, nor did she undergo a complete physical transformation like undergoing a marrow cleansing, she did not achieve such a remarkable feat.

But the woman truly felt a power that seemed to belong solely to her.

Just like birds have wings and can soar through the sky.

Fish have fins that allow them to roam the ocean.

Now, within his own already extremely weak body...

They possessed two powerful abilities that seemed to be innate to them.

According to Gu Yun, it should be authority.

They are called stealth and mimicry, respectively.

The woman can now activate these two abilities at will.

“I advise you not to use the powers I have given you now.”

A voice devoid of any emotion shattered the silence.

"You are now just a mortal, and your soul is the lowest form of existence. Using your powers will cause you serious damage."

"I don't want my first contractor to become a cripple."

Women today do not possess soul power, so using their powers will undoubtedly automatically utilize their soul essence, which is extremely precious in its initial form.

The cultivation of the soul is actually a snowball effect.

Just like when you play with a golden shovel, if you spend all your money in the first stage of the game, it's a very long process to rebuild your economy and earn five dollars in interest.

The same applies to the cultivation of the soul.

Upon hearing this, the woman's expression changed slightly, and she immediately stopped her attempt.

"Sorry, I couldn't help it."

Gu Yun shook his head.

"It's alright. It's natural to be curious when you first gain power. I was the same way before, wasting a lot of soul essence."

"Don't worry about the powers I've given you. I'll explain them to you slowly along the way. For now, just follow me. I don't have any cultivation techniques that humans can practice."

Gu Yun extended a few more fingers, and Bai Qing'er behind him immediately understood.

She trotted up and happily took Gu Yun's hand.

"Once I find a suitable cultivation method for you and help you through the novice protection period, you'll have to walk the rest of the road on your own. The weak have no right to fight for me."

The woman naturally understood this dog-eat-dog world, having experienced it firsthand, and nodded emphatically.

"Yes!"

Gu Yun nodded, then asked.

"What's your name?"

"Red sleeves."

Golden light enveloped Hongxiu's entire body, wiping away all her bruises and wounds.

Although Hongxiu did not feel pain from these bruises and scars.

But they felt endless warmth because of their restoration.

"Get up. You can call me Young Master while you're with me."

Upon hearing this, Hongxiu immediately stood up straight.

"Yes! Son!"

Gu Yun smiled.

"There's no need to be so serious. We're not that much different in age."

Hongxiu couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Young master, how old are you...?"

"24."

Gu Yun replied calmly.

Hongxiu gave a soft "oh" and then stopped asking questions, remaining silent beside Bai Qing'er.

It was something Bai Qing'er understood, so it was impossible for her not to notice it at all.

The young master seems to be someone who dislikes trouble.

But even such a person spent effort and time saving them.

Young master, you are so kind.

If Werner could hear Hongxiu's inner thoughts, he'd probably roll his eyes again.

Well, here comes another example of someone trying to conquer themselves.

After surveying the village one last time, Gu Yun collected the remaining scattered valuables from the ground.

Golden currents of air gently lifted Bai Qing'er and Hongxiu into the sky.

Bai Qing'er seemed to notice Hongxiu's unease and whispered.

"Sister Hong, don't worry, you won't fall. Brother is very steady. This is Qing'er's third time taking off."

"Ah, oh oh."

Hongxiu replied blankly.

...

"Alright, it's time to wrap this up. I told you, none of them will get away."

Gu Yun grinned.

The innate energy was ignited instantly.

Full power.

Golden light rippled outwards from Gu Yun's body.

However, Gu Yun controlled it to keep it stable within a certain range.

It won't extend indefinitely into the distance until it disappears.

Finally, it forms a huge golden oval sphere.

To be honest, the Shadow Fiends don't have many offensive options.

This has forced Gu Yun to resort to the most primitive methods of manipulating innate power and even soul power to launch attacks.

Horizontal slash, vertical chop...

And then there's the present...

Shinra Tianzheng!

"boom----!"

A deafening roar, like a thunderclap, swept across the valley, echoing throughout the heavens and earth.

The explosion was accompanied by a true cataclysmic upheaval, like a ferocious beast roaring through the clouds with unparalleled power and might, causing the sky to tremble.
