As Yun Chuan sat quietly, he sensed a familiar spiritual aura approaching. Instinctively, he extended his spiritual power, which instantly enveloped the entire estate.
To his surprise, the world was suddenly vividly clear—a dramatic leap from his previous, vague perceptions. His spiritual sense now provided sharp awareness of shapes and colors, like gaining sight after blindness.
"Is this the divine sense from cultivation novels?" Yun Chuan marveled, scanning the estate and easily locating Qian Renxue, disguised as Snow Qinghe, entering through the front door.
As he focused on her, she felt the familiar presence and heard Yun Chuan's voice transmitted directly to her mind. They exchanged thoughts as easily as speech—a testament to the supernatural advancement of his spirit after bonding with the Vast Sea Heaven-and-Earth Cover.
Yun Chuan summoned the butler to bring Qian Renxue to his study, where he demonstrated the relic's power.
Qian Renxue asked which deity the artifact was linked to. Yun Chuan explained:
He'd received the Sea God's approval—this was a "semi-artifact," a crucial piece of a god's inheritance.
The artifact's full form required another part—currently it was incomplete but still immensely potent.
Yun Chuan then displayed its core abilities:
The first skill, Vast Sea Protective Barrier, expanded the artifact to shield both of them, rendering them invisible and undetectable from the outside.
The second skill, Heaven-Earth Tranquility Seal, instantly trapped Qian Renxue in place, immobilizing her completely before seamlessly returning to Yun Chuan's body.
He explained:
The barrier consumes minimal soul power yet provides comprehensive defense for up to twelve hours; only a direct breach could overcome it.
The seal immobilizes any opponent with up to a third his own spiritual power.
Two additional attack skills, Vast Sea Wave (area attack) and Heaven-Earth Demon Breaker (single target), both drain all the user's soul power but scale in strength according to the user's reserves.
Qian Renxue was shocked—the artifact's depth far exceeded anything the Tiandou imperial family had ever imagined.
Yun Chuan agreed, noting their inability to unlock its full abilities allowed him to obtain it so easily.
In short, the incomplete artifact already possessed multiple functions, each worthy of being called a "divine skill." Its value justified Yun Chuan's efforts and explained why he'd gone to such lengths to secure it.
