Can you hear my voice.

Inside the grand martial hall of the Celestial Heavenly Sect, the atmosphere was charged with a mix of emotions as Su Yen announced one shocking revelation after another.

The guests, who had initially been awestruck by the opulence of the surroundings, now found themselves on an emotional roller coaster.

At first, when Su Yen had declared the creation of the Celestial Heavenly Sect, a wave of surprise had rippled through the audience. 

Whispers and murmurs filled the air as people exchanged astonished glances. 

The transformation of the Su sacred clan into this new sect was unexpected, and it left the guests in a state of intrigue and curiosity.

As they tried to process this surprising turn of events, he continued to announce the sect's newest invention, leaving the guests on the edge of their seats.

"Another invention?!"

"What could it be?!"

"Is it an upgrade for the Metal Bone construct?"

Speculations and theories swirled in their minds as they wondered what groundbreaking revelation awaited them.

As for the three powerful merchant families, they glared at each other and looked at Su Yen with curiosity filled with determination. 

They'd tasted the massive income from the sales of the Metal Bone Construct. 

Thus, they couldn't wait to know about this invention while their heads were already calculating how to sell it and rake in massive profits.

Meanwhile, Huang Yin was also surprised by the Su clan's sudden invention. 'Why didn't he tell me?' She looked at him from the side, a frown appearing on her face. 'Hmm…' Thinking for a bit, a knowing smile appeared on her face.

As for Su Yen, he looked at the people, eyes filled with curiosity, and continued.

"This invention is one of a kind and will only be for sale in our store…for now."

"But for the celebration of our sect's creation, I will give you two each."

As he completed his sentence, he waved his hand, and tens of brown rings appeared in the air, flying toward the people.

With dumbfounded expressions, they picked up the rings and examined them with incredulous looks. 

Even though they were shocked by the rings, they chose to check them carefully and tried to find out what was so special about them.

However, after checking for a couple of minutes, they only discovered that the rings were covered in arrays and runes. 

Nothing else. 

They were just like any ordinary rings out there.

Huang Yin looked at the rings in her hand and creased her brow. 'Is he playing a trick, or can we not detect what is special about these rings?'

"Like you've all guessed, this is just a normal ring but with some special arrays and runes," Su Yen finally said when he noticed that they'd all tried to check the special features of the rings.

"These rings are called Spiritual Mobile Communication… For short, Spirit Comms."

"To use your Spirit Comms, you need to bind them with your consciousness," he said slowly.

At once, as everyone couldn't wait to verify what was so special about these rings, they put them on and tried to send their consciousness into them.

And behold, a pleasant female voice echoed in their minds.

'You've bound with the Spirit Comms; your unique number is…'

At once, everyone inside the hall widened their eyes when they heard a sudden female voice in their minds while looking at a display panel also in their minds.

For a couple of seconds, the hall was silent as they tried to process what they had just experienced. 

The shock in their minds was too big for them to recover quickly.

Finally, a middle-aged man came out of his reverie and asked.

"Clan… Sect master. From the name of this device, we all know it will be used for communication. But how are we going to communicate with one another?" The Jin family patriarch said respectfully.

"You just have to exchange your unique number with the people you wish to communicate with…"

"This is not like the ancient communication Talisman. With Spirit Comms, you can talk with your family and friends as if you are with them, no matter their distance from you," Su Yen said.

Hearing this, the people widened their eyes, not believing it at all. How could such a magical device exist in the world? 

Even when the world was at its peak, no such device existed. How could it appear now when the world has lost its inheritance?

Even though everyone was skeptical and didn't believe a thing he said, they all chose to keep quiet.

As if knowing what was going on in their minds, Su Yen said. "Exchange numbers with your friends here, and when the Spirit Comms open for communication at 8 pm, you can call your friends."

Unwillingly, they stood up from their seats and exchanged a few numbers with their friends inside the hall. 

The Spirit Comms were quite easy to use. It only had a single interface to add numbers and make calls.

When Su Yen declared that the Celestial Heavenly Sect would open its doors to

  accept fresh disciples in half a month, the banquet came to an end, and the prominent people left in hushed voices in groups of two and three.

In front of the twin pillars, Su Yen looked at Huang Yin with a slight shock on his face.

"I thought you were going to stay for a day or two before you returned to your clan?" He said, staring directly into her eyes.

"Yes. That was before. But now, I've changed my mind," Huang Yin responded with a slight annoyance and prepared to depart.

"Why?" Su Yen asked.

"You know why?" She responded and left without turning back.

Looking at her back, Su Yen creased his brow for a moment before shaking his head. 'Women are unpredictable creatures,' he thought and entered the sect.

As time went by, the news of the newest creation from the Su clan, now known as the Celestial Heavenly Sect, spread throughout the Barren Land.

"Is it true you can communicate with one another as if you're together with this device?"

The people wondered in silence as they waited patiently for the clock to strike 8 pm.

As for those of the Su clan, they were also waiting patiently for the time. They wanted to experience the novel creation of their clan master.

Tick. Tock. Time passed by, and it was only a couple of minutes to eight.

At that moment, the Barren Land was in silence. The impossible was about to happen.

Inside the Huang manor, Huang Ruo looked at her aloof Aunt and asked.

"Elder sister, do you believe what the Su clan master said?"

"Why would the clan master lie? I totally believe him," Huang Guo said confidently.

"I've long known you're a fan of the Su clan master. But that won't change the fact that nothing can communicate as he said." Huang Ruo insisted.

"It's almost time. We will know if it is true or not," Huang Yin said coldly.

Hearing this, the duo glared at each other and harrumphed.

Quickly, time passed by, and it was time.

Instantly, when the clock struck 8 pm, everyone with the Spirit Comms heard the female voice in their mind.

'Communication is now open.'

The moment of truth has finally arrived.

At once, Huang Yin sank her consciousness into the ring and made a call to the other ring that she had given to an elder.

"Elder Ma, can you hear my voice?" She asked, her heart skipping a beat, filled with anticipation.
