Spiritual Power

Biodata

Power Progression

Nature

Spiritual Power is a soul-based force used by talisman masters for perception, attacks, talismans, and formations. It can be sensed by other spiritual cultivators and used to lock onto targets at range, making it difficult to evade a talisman master once targeted 51.

Divine Sense is a higher-quality form of Spiritual Power created through the Spirit Refining Art. The novel compares ordinary Spiritual Power to tofu and Divine Sense to steel, stating that Divine Sense is more than ten times stronger 23.
