Ace's eyes were closed as he felt the newly merged Heavenly Thief Sense. Besides some minor changes, it was still like the soul sense.
But he could feel something had definitely changed as he could feel a calling of sorts from a specific direction which should be his fortune sense, but unlike before, it was somewhat apparent but not much.
Lastly, he tried to activate the heavenly sense ability with the martial Qi to 'see' his surroundings, and he was shocked.
Because unlike before, when heavenly sense would cover his soul sense instantly, this time, he could feel it tightly wrapped around his body like a layer of skin as he could feel his body condition.
He even peered through deep into his physique and could finally see his dark meridians connected with his martial space and true soul, which looked like blazing black suns.
