After stepping down from the carriage, Yun Chuan looked at the kneeling villagers in front of him. A compassionate expression immediately appeared on his flawless and exquisite face, as though he were an angel descended to the mortal realm, witnessing the misfortune of the world.
"Everyone... please, rise!" Yun Chuan's voice was soft, yet carried an inspiring charm. It felt like a warm spring breeze that soothed the heart and nourished the souls of all present.
At once, everyone unconsciously stood up, their bodies reacting before their minds even caught up. Their instincts told them that the person before them was someone they could trust and who would never harm them.
This was undoubtedly the effect of his overwhelming charisma, which allowed Yun Chuan to command attention wherever he went. With this face, if he were to leave the Spirit Hall and establish his own "Yun Chuan Church," it was likely he could replace the Spirit Hall and become the number one sect in the Douluo Continent!
And it wasn't just because of his looks; his martial soul abilities were just as important.
Plant Sovereign – Goddess of Life!
This was the martial soul he was promoted with as the Holy Son of Spirit Hall, said to possess the power to redeem the world.
In fact, it was simply his Plant Goddess martial soul, though the name had been changed. Over the years, Yun Chuan had gradually explored other applications of his martial soul and realized that calling it "Plant Goddess" didn't quite fit. Thus, he renamed it Plant Sovereign – Goddess of Life!
This name not only encapsulated the characteristics of his martial soul but also sounded grand and dignified!
Plant Sovereign! Goddess of Life!
The titles of both "Sovereign" and "Goddess" added weight to it. Even if people didn't know exactly what the martial soul could do, simply hearing the name would make them feel its power. It sounded far more prestigious than names like "Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon," "Clear Sky Hammer," or "Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
Looking at the villagers who had all stood up, Yun Chuan nodded with satisfaction. Having grown up in an era of equality and peace, he despised the act of kneeling without reason.
"Everyone, I will treat you now."
Yun Chuan crossed his hands in front of his chest, forming a strange posture, with his thumbs interlocked and his index fingers touching, while the remaining six fingers stretched out to the sides, resembling the wings of a six-winged angel. Immediately, soft white light began to radiate from his body, and eventually, it gathered into two massive snow-white wings on his back!
At that moment, he looked like an angel descending to save the world.
The pure white wings gently flapped, spreading light that warmed the soul. The beautiful and holy glow illuminated the surroundings, bathing the villagers in its radiance. They couldn't help but close their eyes and pray in silence, feeling that their fears and anxieties were washed away by the holy light. A smile unconsciously appeared on their faces, and their minds were filled with memories of the joyful moments of their lives.
At this moment, Yun Chuan, who had been closing his eyes, slowly opened them. He gazed at the villagers immersed in the holy light and focused his thoughts. Suddenly, a vibrant green light appeared above his back, and the Goddess of Life holding a Blue Silver Grass materialized.
Under Yun Chuan's control, the Goddess of Life gently waved the Blue Silver Grass in her hand. From it, tiny specks of green light scattered and mingled with the pure white holy light, entering the villagers' bodies. This replenished the blood they had lost and restored their vitality.
Their once pale faces gradually became rosy, and their emaciated bodies began to plump up. Those who had appeared on the brink of death now began to recover rapidly under the nourishment of the purest life energy.
This was how Yun Chuan had discovered the use of his Goddess of Life martial soul over the years. Simply put, it involved drawing the most fundamental life force from plants and storing it in the Goddess of Life. When needed, it could be drawn upon at any time.
Since discovering this ability, Yun Chuan no longer needed to soak in medicinal baths after training. He could simply use the life force he had stored in the Goddess of Life martial soul to perfectly heal any damage caused by his training. The effect was even better than soaking in medicinal baths and was much faster in recovery.
The life force he drew from plants was the most fundamental life energy, and it had a wide range of applications. Not only could it heal wounds, but it could also regenerate severed limbs and even extend one's lifespan... After all, everyone has life force, and the amount of life force determines how long a person can live. Aging and death occur when life force is depleted.
As long as life force could be replenished in time, one could return to youth. In theory, Yun Chuan could already achieve immortality with this ability, and even grant immortality to others.
Therefore, Yun Chuan never revealed that his ability could restore youth and extend lifespan. He only claimed it could heal injuries and replenish vitality.
After all, the ability to extend one's lifespan was an irresistible temptation for others. Many soul masters struggled to break through to higher levels because of their limited lifespans or old age. If people knew about this ability, it would not be good for Yun Chuan. Unless he had the power to suppress anyone who opposed him, it was best not to reveal such a heaven-defying ability.
So far, only Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Hu Liena, the three people Yun Chuan trusted most, were aware of his ability.
After a while, once Yun Chuan had infused enough life force to replenish everyone's vitality, the Goddess of Life behind him gradually stopped moving her hand. Her form began to dim, and eventually, she turned into a beam of light and returned to Yun Chuan's body.
At the same time, the snow-white wings on his back gradually faded and vanished, and the holy light that had illuminated the area also disappeared with them.
In fact, these wings were composed purely of light, and could not be used for flight. They were only for aesthetic purposes.
Over the past six years, Yun Chuan had made progress in the development of his two martial souls. The holy wings were a unique application of the light attribute in the Supreme Clear Sky Hammer.
This technique was called Holy Light Radiance!
It didn't have any offensive power but could dispel negative emotions in people. The holy light only affected the heart and mind, with the ability to soothe and dispel mental shadows. It was a useful skill for preaching or for a religious leader to convince others.
According to the worldview of this world, this was considered a self-created soul skill.
And similar self-created soul skills, Yun Chuan had developed many over the past six years, all based on applications of his two martial souls.
