198: Chapter 197 Heavenly Dao Entries and Divine Sense

Heavenly Sword Sect, Outer Sect courtyard.

Qin Changsheng had safely returned to the courtyard.

He was also very excited.

This Sword Imperial Pool treasure hunt went much more smoothly than he had expected.

Not only did he successfully obtain the heavenly dao fragment, but he also took the Dragon Abyss Sword for himself.

This Dragon Abyss Sword is a crucial Magical Artifact for crafting a Lifebound Treasure.

After refining the Dragon Abyss Sword into a Lifebound Treasure, Qin Changsheng's strength will increase significantly.

And the heavenly dao fragment can upgrade a Golden Trait to a Heavenly Dao Trait, taking his strength to the next level.

His only loss was a mere two Spirit Stones.

Qin Changsheng no longer hesitated, waving his right hand gently as a Spirit Stone flew out from his Storage Pouch.

Qin Changsheng closed his eyes slightly, his mind focused, as he slowly chanted a summoning spell.

As the spell sounded, the Spirit Stone in his palm gradually erupted with a faint white light, and spiritual energy surged rapidly.

In the next instant, Wang Cheng's figure appeared not far away.

"Take Hu Nan to the Spirit Stone Mine and give him to Li Hu!" Qin Changsheng ordered.

"As you command!" Wang Cheng cupped his hands and quickly withdrew.

The reason Qin Changsheng had Wang Cheng take Hu Nan to Li Hu was that he wanted to trick Li Hu once.

He believed that even if Li Hu was talented, being the Young Lord of the Blood Demon Sect and having Cultivated the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Great Art to Perfection, he would definitely suffer a major setback in this matter.

This way, the Blood Demon Sect would definitely not make any big moves in a short period of time.

However, at this moment, Qin Changsheng still had a concern in his heart.

That concern was Chen Erniu.

Because Qin Changsheng discovered that after Hu Nan, Wang Cheng, and the others left the Sword Imperial Pool, Chen Erniu's figure had never appeared.

Initially, he was busy escaping and didn't pay it any mind, but now that he had calmed down to reflect, he discovered many abnormalities.

Chen Erniu is a Soul Transformation Reincarnation.

His entry into the Sword Imperial Pool this time was not at all for the Earth-Grade Low Grade Dragon Abyss Sword.

"What exactly did he come for?" A trace of wariness flashed in Qin Changsheng's eyes.

However, after thinking for a long time, he still had no clue.

Qin Changsheng's gaze once again turned to the attribute panel.

Now that he had obtained the heavenly dao fragment, he could once again strengthen a trait into a Heavenly Dao Trait.

[trait: Cultivation, Storage Space, External Incarnation, Immortality, Substitute Death, Breath Concealment, Exchange, Sword Heart Clarity, Sharing, Intelligence, Source of Mana, Fire Spells, Rebirth, Repair, Instant Spellcasting, Body Refining, Speed, Divine Sense]

Qin Changsheng's gaze swept across the many Golden Traits, silently pondering which trait to strengthen into a Heavenly Dao Trait.

First of all, Cultivation, Intelligence, and Mythical Incarnation were already Heavenly Dao Entries, so it was impossible to strengthen them further.

Therefore, these three traits were excluded first.

The Golden Trait Storage Space already had a thousand cubic meters, which was enough for Qin Changsheng to use, so there was no need to strengthen it for now.

The Golden Trait Immortality was already the highest-tier trait, so there was also no need to strengthen it for now.

Substitute Death, Rebirth, and Exchange were also sufficient for Qin Changsheng to protect his life, so they didn't need strengthening either.

Breath Concealment, which hides his tracks and conceals his aura, was also currently enough for Qin Changsheng's use.

Sword Heart Clarity can strengthen sword techniques, and with Qin Changsheng's current strength, it was already sufficient.

The intensity of Fire Spells and Instant Spellcasting was already enough, so there was no need to strengthen them for now.

Repair is for fixing damaged treasures, so there was no need to strengthen it for now.

As for Body Refining and having a powerful Physical Body, Qin Changsheng had already Cultivated the Vajra Body Refining Art to Perfection, so there was no need to continue strengthening it.

Regarding the Golden Trait Speed, Qin Changsheng had Cultivated a Mystic-Grade High Grade Speed Cultivation Technique, and his current Speed was already top-tier among those of the same rank, so there was no need to strengthen it at all.

The traits passed through his mind one by one, their pros and cons becoming clear in an instant.

Qin Changsheng closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, a decision had been made.

Among the myriad Daos, those who see first prevail, and those with foresight are strong.

Whether it is planning and calculating, fighting and competing, investigating secrets, or securing the first opportunity, the Foundation of everything lies in Divine Sense.

"Strengthen the Golden Trait Divine Sense!" Qin Changsheng issued the command.

At the very moment Qin Changsheng's voice fell, a beam of spiritual light enveloped the Divine Sense trait.

Qin Changsheng closed his eyes slightly, his mind focused, as he clearly perceived the transformation of his Divine Sense.

The originally gentle power of Divine Sense, under the nourishment of the golden light, became increasingly condensed and majestic, like a stream turning into a vast sea, surging within his Sea of Consciousness. A powerful sense of strength swept through his entire body, and his Sea of Consciousness also became increasingly clear and vast.

A moment later, the golden spiritual light gradually dissipated, completely merging into the [Divine Sense] trait.

On the attribute panel, the original Golden Trait had already transformed, turning into a Heavenly Dao Trait glowing with a simple and gentle light. Lines of clear enhancement effects slowly emerged, adding powerful Divine Abilities on top of the basic effects:

[Heavenly Dao Trait · Divine Sense] 1. Divine Sense coverage range increases tenfold, allowing for easy investigation of all movements; even something as minute as the swaying of grass or the crawling of insects and ants can be clearly perceived without any blind spots;

2. Unlock the X-ray Divine Ability: the host's Divine Sense can easily bypass obstacles such as jade boxes, bottles, Storage Pouches, and even low-level Restrictions to directly view the treasures, Spirit Stones, Cultivation Techniques, and other items inside without needing to destroy the container, making it both covert and efficient;

3. Divine Sense resistance strength doubles; the host's Divine Sense can easily resist the Divine Sense attacks of Cultivators of the same rank. Even when encountering the Divine Sense probes of high-rank Cultivators, it can conceal its own aura to remain undetected, while also being able to actively reflect the Divine Sense interference of lower-rank Cultivators;

4. Control: Divine Sense can easily control multiple treasures and multiple Magical Artifacts;

5. Synchronization: The Heavenly Dao Trait Divine Sense is applied to all of your Incarnations.

The moment all the enhancement effects appeared, Qin Changsheng abruptly opened his eyes, a sharp spiritual light flashing within them. The power of Divine Sense in his Sea of Consciousness instantly erupted, spreading out towards the surroundings.

In just an instant, everything within a hundred-mile radius was clearly presented within his Sea of Consciousness.

Birds in the forest, insects and ants in the grass, pedestrians on the distant mountain paths, and even a Cultivator hiding in a cave several miles away had nowhere to hide.

He subconsciously activated the X-ray Divine Ability, sweeping his Divine Sense over his own Storage Pouch. The Dragon Abyss Sword, Spirit Stones, Cultivation Technique Secret Manuals, and even the two spare Spirit Stones stored in a corner inside the bag were all clearly visible; he could see everything at a glance without needing to open the Storage Pouch.

Following that, he activated his Divine Sense resistance, deliberately releasing a wisp of Divine Sense to simulate a Divine Sense attack from a Cultivator of the same rank. He saw that as soon as the "attack" touched his Divine Sense barrier, it was instantly reflected, leaving it with no power to fight back.

This strengthening of Divine Sense far exceeded his expectations; not only did it improve the basic effects, but it also added Control.

With this Control, Qin Changsheng could manipulate multiple treasures at once to attack enemies.

Qin Changsheng was about to craft his Lifebound Treasure.

With the characteristics of Cultivation, after Qin Changsheng successfully crafts his Lifebound Treasure, he will obtain ten Lifebound Treasures.

With the Heavenly Dao Trait, Qin Changsheng can easily control ten Lifebound Treasures to attack enemies.

Those Cultivators might easily defend against one or even two of Qin Changsheng's Lifebound Treasures.

But it would be absolutely impossible to defend against ten Lifebound Treasures.

"Now I'm only missing the spirit condensing dew!" Qin Changsheng immediately thought of Chen Erniu.

He had checked through the Heavenly Dao Trait Intelligence and knew that Chen Erniu had a stalk of spirit condensing dew in his Possession.

...

Danxia Spirit Stone Mine.

Guard Hall.

Li Hu sat on the main seat with a dark expression.

His eyes were full of frustration and resentment.

He had originally thought he would be able to obtain some benefits during this trip to the Sword Villa.

That Dragon Abyss Sword was also supposed to be his.

But he hadn't expected that this trip to the Sword Villa would actually end in a crushing defeat.

Not only did he not obtain the Dragon Abyss Sword, but he didn't even get a single Mystic-Grade High Grade sword.

What made it even more embarrassing for Li Hu was that mysterious person who had snatched the Dragon Abyss Sword.

Even now, he still wasn't clear on who that mysterious person actually was.

Just then, Overseer walked in from outside: "Young Lord, Wang Cheng requests an audience!"

Li Hu's brow furrowed slightly, a look of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Over a month ago, Wang Cheng had taken a treasure from him, saying he could capture Hu Nan.

But over a month had passed, and there had still been no news.

"Let him in," Li Hu said in a heavy voice.

Soon, Wang Cheng hurried into the hall.

"Young Lord, I have an important matter to report!" Wang Cheng announced.

Li Hu glanced up at him, his tone cold: "What is it?"

Wang Cheng quickly said: "Young Lord, Hu Nan has been captured by me!"

"What?!" Li Hu abruptly stood up from his seat, the original gloom on his face instantly replaced by a look of wild joy.

He never would have imagined that Hu Nan, who had left him at a loss, would actually be captured by Wang Cheng.

"Is this true?" Li Hu asked as he stood up.

"Young Lord, how could I dare to deceive you?"

"Hu Nan is right outside the main gate!" After Wang Cheng finished speaking, he clapped his hands.

In the next instant, several subordinates carried Hu Nan in from outside.

At this moment, Hu Nan's eyes were tightly closed, his face was pale, and he remained motionless, clearly still in a deep coma.

Looking at the unconscious Hu Nan on the stretcher, Li Hu's eyes were filled with an undisguisable joy, and he couldn't help but laugh loudly: "Good! Good! Good! Wang Cheng, you have done excellently! This Young Lord truly did not misjudge you!"

Li Hu laughed for a long time before asking: "How did you subdue Hu Nan?"

"Young Lord, I used purple spirit grass as bait and then invited Hu Nan to drink!" Wang Cheng fabricated a lie about inviting Hu Nan to drink and then drugging him.

At the same time, Wang Cheng also told Li Hu that before Hu Nan fell unconscious, that purple spirit grass had been destroyed by Hu Nan.

"Good, good..." Li Hu didn't care about the purple spirit grass at all.

After all, now that he had captured Hu Nan, he would be able to perform the Possession on Hu Nan.

As long as he successfully performed the Possession on Hu Nan, he would be able to revive the Blood Demon Sect.

"Overseer, seal Hu Nan's spiritual energy immediately!" Li Hu turned his gaze toward Overseer.

"As you command!" Overseer received the order and immediately went before Hu Nan to begin sealing his spiritual energy.

"Manager Ma Yingjie, you immediately start preparing for the Possession!" Li Hu ordered.

"As you command!" Manager Ma Yingjie cupped his hands.

However, at this moment, Manager Ma Yingjie still had some doubts.

After all, he had fought Hu Nan before and knew Hu Nan's strength.

With Wang Cheng's strength, it was simply impossible for him to catch Hu Nan.

However, this trace of doubt soon vanished.

Because Hu Nan was already completely under control.

With the strength of the Young Lord and the Blood Demon Sect, they would definitely be able to perform the Possession on Hu Nan.
