Ding!

<You have observed the mana circulation method of the [Eternal Oceanheart Codex], and your understanding of the mana cultivation technique has increased>

<You have observed the mana circulation method of the [Eternal Oceanheart Codex], and your understanding of the mana cultivation technique has reached full completion>

<Due to your superior understanding of mana cultivation, the [Eternal Oceanheart Codex] has been refined to even greater perfection>

<Due to your superior understanding of mana cultivation, you have detected two minor flaws in the target’s circulation pathway>

...

As Vaan operated the Heavenly Massage and observed Seraphina’s automatic cultivation, even her heaven-rank mana cultivation technique couldn’t escape his grasp.

However, true to its name, the heaven-rank mana cultivation technique, the [Eternal Oceanheart Codex], did not have a single fundamental flaw. At the same time, Seraphina was truly a genius, having only two minor flaws in her circulation pathway.

Moreover, these two minor flaws in her circulation pathway only lowered the efficiency of refining mana by a small margin, hardly worth mentioning.

The disparity between her and ordinary disciples was clearly evident. She was simply in a different league from the rest, which shouldn’t be a surprise, as a Daughter of Heaven, blessed by two Empyrean-level families.

Although Seraphina was only a Half-step Divine Emperor of a single path, Vaan didn’t doubt that with her innate talent for fusion laws, she was fully capable of crossing realms and challenging those stronger than her.

In other words, Divine Emperors weren’t necessarily her opponents.

Facing such a rare genius who was blessed with fortune, talent, and background, Vaan was also tempted to offer some guidance and earn her goodwill. Her support would significantly ease his journey in the Myriad Sea God Palace.

With that thought in mind, Vaan massaged Seraphina’s temples and pressed a few acupoints on her head, prompting her drifting mind to regain clarity and awareness with heightened focus.

"Your mana cultivation technique is somewhat interesting. However, you’ve made two minor errors in your circulation pathway. If you change the Tiger Vein Acupoint to the Heaven’s Pulse Acupoint, and the Earth Core Acupoint to the Flowing Pearl Acupoint, you’ll improve the mana efficiency by a bit."

As Vaan calmly guided Seraphina, he pressed on the two neighbouring acupoints on her arms and on her abdomen.

Naturally, Seraphina subconsciously denied Vaan’s guidance, since she believed he could be more knowledgeable than her True Divinity-level teachers.

However, Seraphina’s body was completely at the mercy of Vaan’s fingers. It was as if her body was no longer her own; it didn’t listen to her. Wherever Vaan’s fingers danced, the circulating mana in her body followed as directed.

After a single circulation, Seraphina’s mind blanked out, feeling the improved efficiency in refining mana.

Even if it was only a 2% efficiency improvement, an improvement was an improvement nonetheless.

’How is this possible?’ Seraphina was dumbfounded.

Vaan obviously didn’t cultivate the [Eternal Oceanheart Codex] and naturally wouldn’t know about its myriad profoundities and intricacies. Yet, he was able to see through the flaws in her mana circulation and improved it in a short time.

His teaching was heaven-defyingly on point.

"Understanding a technique is one thing, and mastering it is another. You can’t say you’ve mastered a technique until you make it your own," Vaan calmly instructed.

Even within a single race, no two individuals were exactly the same. Twins would also have their differences, even if they weren’t apparent at birth.

After all, such differences could be the result of chemical changes through diet, stress, and sleep, among many other development factors. The internal functions of a living being were very complex. ŕАℕộᛒĘS̈

Unless Seraphina were the other twin of the technique’s creator and underwent the same experiences from birth to maturity, her body would naturally have some differences.

Although Vaan couldn’t claim that it was impossible for two unrelated individuals to have the exact same biological body down to the minute detail, he had, at the very least, never seen any two individuals of a race with the same branching patterns of their smaller blood vessels.

Perhaps everyone started out the same, but development leads to differences.

"So that’s how it is..."

After Seraphina heard Vaan’s brief explanation, she understood the logical reasoning behind it, which prompted Vaan to feel even more appreciation for her talents.

Surprisingly, not long after Seraphina gained deeper insights into the [Eternal Oceanheart Codex]—one that she could call her own—she entered a deep state of enlightenment.

When Vaan saw this, he decisively halted his Heavenly Massage, knowing his physically contact could disturb her state of enlightenment and ruin her cultivation opportunity. Of course, he had no choice in the matter, unless he wanted to ask for trouble.

With the six powerful Divine Emperor-level guards watching over her, they wouldn’t give Vaan the chance to ruin her rare opportunity.

Fortunately, Vaan was considerate and decisive enough to halt his service before they were even given a chance to act.

However, for a brief moment, Vaan sensed an even more powerful divine sense locked onto his figure as Seraphina entered her deep state of enlightenment. Undoubtedly, this powerful divine sense belonged to a True Divinity.

Vaan smiled wryly after discovering the existence of the True Divinity.

Despite the capability of his heaven-defying Omni-Sense, he still couldn’t detect True Divinities until they paid him attention. If he actually had ill intentions toward Seraphina, he wouldn’t have even known how he died.

Sure enough, Seraphina’s status was truly special.

As a Daughter of Heaven and the apple in the eye of the Empyreans, they wouldn’t feel at ease unless she had this level of protection. To have True Divinity-level bodyguards was surely enviable.

Meanwhile, in an empty sea region several dozen miles above the seafloor where Mermaid’s Grotto was located, the Sea God who locked onto Vaan with his heavenly sense was startled.

He did not expect that the moment he locked onto Vaan with his heavenly sense, the latter would also glance in his direction!

He was a True God, someone who had fully stepped into the True Divinity realm!

With his upgraded divine sense, the heavenly sense, if he wanted to secretly peek at some juniors in the Divine realm, they would never know about it, let alone sense it!

Yet, someone did!

"Ahem, this Junior is quite special," Sea God Pelagor coughed awkwardly, feeling somewhat embarrassed for getting caught peeking.
