Chapter 429: Attempting to Recognize a Master
After the deal was completed, Yu Tianlin returned to the clan with the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
He needed to study this item first.
He was very curious about how he, a Thunder God Successor, would react when using the Heart of the Sea God.
With this thought in mind, Yu Tianlin went directly to the cultivation secret chamber and extended his mental force toward the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
However, to Yu Tianlin's surprise, his mental force had clearly reached out, but in his perception, there was no Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud at all.
This was a very strange experience. The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was clearly in his hand, visible and tangible, yet he simply could not perceive it with his mental force.
"What's going on?"
Yu Tianlin was a little confused.
Logically speaking, it should not be like this.
When extending mental force into the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, the result should either be failure or gaining its recognition. But Yu Tianlin did not fall into either category.
His mental force could not even sense the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, let alone penetrate it.
Facing this situation, Yu Tianlin tried several more times, but it was still useless.
If mental force did not work, then what about Spirit Power?
After confirming that mental force was ineffective, Yu Tianlin frowned slightly, but he did not dwell on it. Instead, he tried using Spirit Power.
Completely different from his inability to sense it with mental force, the moment Yu Tianlin injected Spirit Power into it, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud suddenly burst forth with blue light. It looked like rippling water, enveloped in a precious glow.
Goodness, Spirit Power works.
Yu Tianlin's heart stirred, and he continued increasing the amount of Spirit Power he injected. He immediately sensed something and naturally received feedback from the item.
Within this Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud were five skills.
The first was invisibility.
The second was self protection.
The third was single target control.
The fourth was area attack.
The fifth was single target attack.
In Yu Tianlin's perception, as long as Spirit Power was injected into it, these skills could be activated. It was incredibly convenient and truly lived up to its reputation as the Heaven Dou Empire's national treasure.
It was precisely because this item was an external object, something anyone could use directly upon obtaining it, unlike a Spirit Bone that could be absorbed and directly enhance the absorber's physical attributes, that Emperor Xue Ye had agreed to exchange it with Yu Tianlin.
After sensing the five skills contained within it, Yu Tianlin did not try to activate them. Instead, he showed a thoughtful expression, pondering the reason behind this.
Unable to sense it with mental force, but able to use it through Spirit Power. The implication was already very clear.
You can use it, but recognizing you as its master through mental force is out of the question.
Thinking of this, Yu Tianlin could not help curling his lips.
Sure enough, he was already a Thunder God Successor, and the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud contained the consciousness of the Sea God, so it naturally would not allow him to recognize it as its master.
Yu Tianlin knew that the God Realm also had regulations. When it came to selecting a Deity Inheritor, malicious competition was not allowed.
Tang San's dual God Position had been a complete loophole in the rules, a bug. In terms of timing, the Asura God had come first, but the Asura God had cast a wide net, and merely passing through Slaughter City did not confirm Tang San's identity as the Asura God Inheritor. Although the Sea God came later, he directly established Tang San's identity as the Sea God Inheritor.
In that situation, both the Asura God and the Sea God naturally believed they were in the right, and neither was willing to give up. In the end, they could only mediate, allowing Tang San to possess a dual God Position.
Now, Yu Tianlin was already a proper Thunder God Successor. If another Deity were to choose him, it would directly violate the rules of the God Realm. Therefore, the Sea God naturally would not allow Yu Tianlin to refine the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud with his mental force.
After understanding this, Yu Tianlin no longer cared.
I may not be able to, but that doesn't mean others can't.
Thinking of this, Yu Tianlin immediately went to find someone he thought might be recognized by the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
The first person, of course, was Yu Yuanzhen.
Yu Yuanzhen's cultivation was the highest. If he could receive the Sea God's recognition, it would naturally be the best outcome for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Yu Tianlin had previously said he was going out for training, but now he had suddenly returned, which surprised Yu Yuanzhen. However, Yu Tianlin quickly explained the situation to him.
Upon hearing that it involved a Deity Legacy, Yu Yuanzhen's interest was piqued, and he immediately tried it under Yu Tianlin's guidance.
Unfortunately, although the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud absorbed a lot of blood from Yu Yuanzhen, it still did not recognize him.
Determining whether the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud had recognized a master was actually very simple. One only needed to see whether others could still activate it.
Before recognizing a master, anyone could activate the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud by injecting Spirit Power. After successfully recognizing a master, only the person chosen by the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud could activate it.
"It seems I have no affinity with this Deity."
Yu Yuanzhen's cultivation was profound, so he did not fall unconscious during the process of attempting recognition, and the blood he lost did not have much impact on him. Moreover, he was relatively calm about the failure and was not overly disappointed.
"I'll go try with Big Brother and the others."
Yu Tianlin felt a little regretful, but he did not dwell on it too much and continued searching for others to try.
Yu Tianheng and the others had eaten Immortal Herbs and possessed astonishing talent, so they might succeed. Thus, he immediately went to find Tianheng.
Tianheng happened to be with Dugu Yan, which saved Yu Tianlin an extra trip.
To Tianheng, Yu Tianlin did not explain the situation of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud in detail. He only said that it was something good and told him to do as instructed.
Tianheng still trusted his younger brother, so he did not press for answers and directly extended his mental force into the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
With a flash of light, Tianheng unexpectedly fainted, and the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud pierced his glabella, absorbing the blood that continuously flowed out.
"Tianlin, is this the good thing you mentioned?"
Seeing this scene, Dugu Yan's expression immediately turned unpleasant.
"Tianheng is bleeding nonstop!"
As she spoke, Dugu Yan was about to pull the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud away from Tianheng's glabella.
However, Yu Tianlin feared that Dugu Yan's interference might cause an accident, so he stopped her.
"Sister Yanzi, calm down. I wouldn't harm Big Brother. Wait a little longer. If this succeeds, Big Brother will gain immense benefits."
Hearing Yu Tianlin say this, Dugu Yan finally calmed down. However, looking at Tianheng, who was constantly losing blood, she still felt a pang of heartache. So, she turned and left, saying, "I don't know what you little fellow are up to, but I'll go call Lingling over."
After Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia reached a certain level of power, it was said to be capable of reviving the dead. Mere excessive blood loss was no problem for her at all.
That was why Dugu Yan now wanted to find Ye Lingling, so she could help Tianheng recover later and prevent him from becoming weak due to excessive blood loss.
