Chapter 1118: Endless Ocean Vortex Canon

When Vaan contemplated the creation of heaven-rank mana cultivation techniques for the Merfolks, he also couldn’t help but think the Merfolks were quite lucky. With him around, their race was bound to rise among the seafolks.

’Another Divine Lord?’

Vaan glanced at his twenty-fourth client, a mermaid with lustrous golden hair, a fair complexion, and deep sapphire eyes that seemed to draw one’s soul into an abyss of vortex if they gazed into them.

The Divine Lady possessed a dominant aura akin to the previous mermaids who practiced the [Divine Crushing Tides Manual].

However, the water surrounding the Divine Lady subtly bent and rippled, as if drawn toward her center. Under Vaan’s scrutiny, he could feel that she was like a walking gravitational field.

Such faint effects were quite similar to the Mana Vortex of his nameless mana cultivation technique.

Vaan immediately understood that this Divine Lady was practicing another top mana cultivation technique, one which he had yet to encounter until now. Moreover, it shared the concept of centrifugal force as his nameless mana cultivation technique.

"Lord Vaan."

The Divine Lady respectfully greeted with a humble bow upon noticing Vaan’s special attention to her body.

If it were five days prior, the Divine Lady wouldn’t have shown such preferential treatment.

However, the difference in Vaan’s status during these two periods was like the difference between heaven and earth, day and night; they were incomparable.

Of course, Vaan was already considered special when people started calling him "God Hands" and "Divine Touch," but they were nothing compared to his latest moniker, "The Enlightener."

This was someone who, with a single lecture, helped countless disciples break through their bottlenecks. Such a person was more respectable than Senior Professors who have taught millions of students.

"Make yourself comfortable, and we can start right away."

"Understood, Lord Vaan!"

...

Moments later, Vaan used his Heavenly Massage on the Divine Lady, helping her body relax and cleanse itself of impurities and blockage, stimulating her latent potential.

The opened pores greedily absorbed pure mana from the surroundings, and she automatically circulated her mana to refine the influx of new mana.

Ding!

<You have observed the mana circulation method of the [Divine Whirlpool Essence Method], and your understanding of the mana cultivation technique has increased>

<You have completely comprehended the [Divine Whirlpool Essence Method], one of the top ten mana cultivation techniques practiced by Merfolk>

<Due to your superior understanding of mana cultivation, you have corrected all the flaws, creating the superior mana cultivation technique, the [Heavenly Maelstrom Scripture], which is suitable for the target>

Sure enough, Vaan confirmed the new top mana cultivation technique after receiving the system’s notification.

With the addition of [Divine Whirlpool Essence Method], Vaan had comprehended a total of six top mana cultivation techniques out of the Merfolk’s existing ten. Only four remained to be encountered.

Surprisingly, the [Divine Whirlpool Essence Method], despite being ranked lower than the [Divine Oceanheart Art], [Celestial Tides Sutra], [Divine Crushing Tides Manual], [Divine Cleansing Sprint Art], and the [Divine Mirrorwater Method], possessed greater potential. ṙ𝘼ＮǒʙĘȿ

Its greatest flaw was that its concept was less developed than those of the other five top mana cultivation techniques. As such, it was somewhat incomplete, ultimately rendering it inferior.

However, after Vaan upgraded it to the pinnacle divine rank[Heavenly Maelstrom Scripture], it undoubtedly became the new number one mana cultivation technique of the Merfolks.

Once Vaan spread this superior version, its popularity would explode and shock the Outer Palace.

Nevertheless, the surprise didn’t end there.

Ding!

<Due to your superior understanding of mana cultivation, the mastery of the Nameless Mana Cultivation Technique, the [Eternal Oceanheart Codex], the [Myriad Currents Heavenly Canon], and the [Heavenly Maelstrom Scripture], you have met the conditions to simulate a heaven-rank mana cultivation technique, [Endless Ocean Vortex Canon]>

<You have successfully restored the heaven-rank mana cultivation technique, the [Endless Ocean Vortex Canon]>

Indeed, the heaven-rank mana cultivation technique was restored and not created.

In other words, the [Endless Ocean Vortex Canon] had already existed before; it just wasn’t created by any True Divinity from the Myriad Sea God Palace—or at the very least, not a live one.

Perhaps the Myriad Sea God Palace once had a peerless True Divinity who practiced the [Endless Ocean Vortex Canon] but ultimately became part of history.

The truth wasn’t known to Vaan.

However, the fact that the incomplete version, the [Divine Whirlpool Essence Method], could secure a spot in the top ten mana cultivation techniques proved how incredible it was.

It was likely that the [Endless Ocean Vortex Canon] was even superior to the heaven-rank [Eternal Oceanheart Codex].

That said, whether it was creating the heaven-rank mana cultivation technique or restoring it, such an incredible merit would inevitably shock the entire Myriad Sea God Palace to its core and overturn everyone’s common sense.

Vaan just didn’t know whether the achievement had already been recorded in the Hall of Merit or if he had to share the [Endless Ocean Vortex Canon] and have it verified.

That said, he had no intention of hiding it.

Given the waves he had created, his rapidly rising influence would inevitably interfere with the interests of other parties, putting his life in danger. The Myriad Sea God Palace had strict rules, but he couldn’t blindly rely on them for protection.

After all, they were both shackles and swords, depending on who wielded them.

As such, becoming a rising star was not enough. He had to become valued to the point that the Myriad Sea God Palace couldn’t afford to bear his death. Only then would he receive greater protection.

Unfortunately, fully entering the spotlight didn’t come risk-free.

Although receiving greater protection from the Myriad Sea God Palace would remove the smaller hidden dangers he could face, it would also expose him to higher-level dangers.

’I need to hurry,’ Vaan felt a greater sense of urgency.

Once his nameless mana cultivation technique ascended to the heaven rank, he needed to enter the doors of Soul Master cultivation immediately. With the mystical abilities and backing of Soul Masters, he would have more control over his life.
