Chapter 207 - The Legend of the Divine Mark


Chapter 207 The Legend of the Divine Mark

After hearing the bearded man’s self-introduction, Lyu Liang was stunned and thought of “the Seven Luminaries Emperors” at once. He cupped his hands and said respectfully, “I’m Lyu Liang. It’s my honor to meet Great Emperor Sun here! Please help me recover my cultivation!”

Although internally Lyu Liang had many doubts, he knew that he was a mortal and why he was here.

Great Emperor Sun nodded slightly and said with a soft laugh, “Did you lose your cultivation? Is your Divine Soul broken? Then how are you floating in midair?”

Hearing what he had said, Lyu Liang was confused, and then he became wild with joy!

The moment he entered this mysterious space, his Divine Soul and cultivation had totally recovered! Feeling the mighty power of his Divine Soul and cultivation at the Peak of Almighty Immortal, Lyu Liang was too excited to utter a word!

But his excitement only lasted for less than two breaths of time before he calmed down again. He cupped his hands and bowed as he said, “If I’m not wrong, I can only maintain the state in this space. Once I leave here, I will become a mortal again!”

After experiencing 50,000 years of trials, mortal as he was, Lyu Liang had become much more detached in his state of mind after he left the civilization remains.

After repressing himself for such a long time, he rejoiced with wild excitement at that moment. But then, he settled down subconsciously because he knew that with a 30 percent chance of success, it would not be so easy to be victorious!

“Haha, good! It seems that old man Dong Huang’s trial on you worked very well! All right, let’s get down to business! However, before that, you have to finish an important task alone. Only then can I help you recover your Divine Soul.” A hint of appreciation crept into Great Emperor Sun’s eyes, and then, he put a serious look on his face.

Somehow, Great Emperor Sun gave Lyu Liang a familiar feeling, just like White. According to the video of the ancient war, he had a bold guess—it seemed that not only White but also Black and other Chaotic divine beasts had a profound connection with this Emperor-level powerful figure!

Of course, this was not what Lyu Liang needed to think about. He did have doubts, but they were definitely not suspicions. Since he trusted the Chaotic divine beasts unconditionally, he was convinced that even if they did have secrets, they would let him know one day.

At this moment, Great Emperor Sun asked a question that had nothing to do with recovering cultivation, “Boy, do you know ‘the Divine Mark’?”

“Divine Mark?” Lyu Liang frowned slightly because he had heard this term when Immortal General “Sky Holding” fought with the monk. He could feel that it was a formidable move, but he did not know what it was exactly.

After hearing what Lyu Liang had said, Great Emperor Sun nodded and said, “Yes. You are not likely to hear of this in the world you’re in. However, since the Divine Mark is the key to recovering your cultivation, let me tell you something about it!

“According to your knowledge, special constitutions represent the greatest advantage, and the Divine Body is the supreme existence. But this is right only for the ordinary level, while the Divine Mark is the horrific existence above special constitutions. If someone has the Divine Mark and masters all its essence, he can stimulate the power above the Law of Heaven!

“Not everyone can have the Divine Mark since the requirements for it are very tough! Most importantly, unlike the Spiritual Root or special constitutions, which are congenital, the Divine Mark is acquired after one is born. Once it is stimulated, although one’s cultivation will skyrocket, he will lose his marbles. After he awakens, his cultivation will decline after a certain amount of time!

“Among all the special constitutions, only the three Divine Bodies can rival the Divine Mark. As for the Holy Soul Order, it is a powerful treasure derived from the Divine Mark by some powerful figure.”

Then, Great Emperor Sun stared at Lyu Liang seriously, and stressed every syllable as he said, “You must fully master your Divine Mark. Only in this way can you finish the dangerous task of recovery!”

As Great Emperor Sun said these words, Lyu Liang vaguely realized something. But when he heard that he really had the miraculous Divine Mark, he was still rendered speechless.

After a while, Lyu Liang said in confusion, “Senior, I was born as a mortal, and I obtained the opportunity to acquire the five-element constitution afterward. As for the Divine Mark, I’ve never felt its existence…”

“No. You just do not know about it because you had lost your sanity at that time. It is of no use saying so much. Watch it by yourself!” Great Emperor Sun interrupted Lyu Liang’s words. He waved his hand, and then, a screen emerged in midair…

It showed precisely the overwhelming scenes when Lyu Liang’s cultivation had improved. Seeing that, Lyu Liang felt as if he was on the scene now.

In all these scenes, Lyu Liang closed his eyes tightly, yet with a mysterious smile on his face. If he had not heard from the divine beasts about his weird behaviors when he broke through, he would not recognize himself.

Although the scenes were different, all of them suggested one thing—Lyu Liang’s destructive power was not proportional to his cultivation in that state. Anyhow, it was at least two levels higher than it should have been!

In the beginning, Lyu Liang just watched the scenes quietly. But then, he suddenly realized that as his cultivation increased, a light-red irregular mark appeared vaguely on his forehead!

After a moment, when the scene turned to the time he fought Dongfang Xiaoyu in the Land of Origin on the Mortal Seven Days, he was really shocked by himself!

At that time, Lyu Liang was bruised all over. However, when Dongfang Xiaoyu approached the giant saber-toothed beast, Lyu Liang lowered his head suddenly, trembled, and waved out a formidable flash of Sword Qi in the shape of human!

When he raised his head, the mark appeared again. At that moment, its color became much brighter, as scarlet as blood!

“Fairy Immortal! My cultivation at that time was merely at the level of Gold Core, but I was able to use a move at the level of Fairy Immortal, which is three levels higher!” Lyu Liang could not help exclaiming with his eyes fixed on the mark.

Then, the scene showed the processes of breaking through again, and every time, the light red mark appeared. However, it was not as bright as that on the Mortal Seven Days.

“Since you’ve watched it, ask whatever you want to know!” Great Emperor Sun’s voice resounded, and the scene also stopped, while Lyu Liang was lost in thought.

After a while, he slowly looked up and asked softly, “Is the mark on my forehead the Divine Mark that you mentioned just now? It seems to be just an irregular mark, which was formed in the trials in the Land of Origin. But at other times, it is light and indistinct. Could you please explain it to me?”

Subconsciously, Lyu Liang thought of Zhang Ran’s tormented past. It seemed that he also had the Divine Mark.

Great Emperor Sun nodded and said aloud, “Yes! That’s your Divine Mark. Basically, it is formed because of a strong will, which is stimulated by an agonizing experience! One who meets this requirement may fail to have the Divine Mark. But most of the people who have the mark satisfy the condition!”

Suddenly, a feeling of clarity crept over him, and he seemed to have figured out some doubts. Then, he asked at once, “Did the uncanny power, which I stimulated in the trials in the Land of Origin, have something to do with my state of mind at that time?”

Great Emperor Sun smiled and nodded, as he said, “Yes! At that time, you were obsessed with the thought of saving the girl. After that, your will was not that strong, and that was why the Divine Mark looked different. I have to say that the environment you are in is not conducive to the improvement of the mark because there has been no such misery and hatred in your heart. But if you want to recover your cultivation, you have to fully master the mark.”

Lyu Liang could not agree more with Great Emperor Sun’s words.

In those days, he started the journey of cultivation to figure out his family background and to take revenge for his mother. But now, he befriended the Blood Divine Sect, returned to his own family, and restored his mother’s soul. It seemed that as long as he could save Shangguan Ying from the ice by using the Immortal treasure and the Eternal Heaven Fire, he could then live a happy, leisurely life…

Thinking about that, Lyu Liang sighed in resignation. If only things could go as he wished!

Seeing the dispirited look on Lyu Liang’s face, Great Emperor Sun said seriously, “You don’t need to be over-worried because even a Divine Emperor cannot change your mind a bit. Besides, according to what I said just now, that is the case for most people, but it is not the only way to master the Divine Mark.”

Hearing what Great Emperor Sun had said, Lyu Liang stared at him with an expectant look on his face, and waited for him to go on.

“There is another way. Although it also requires a strong will, it is not necessarily stimulated by hatred. But its difficulty will be much greater than that of most cases! That is to stimulate the concrete image of the Divine Mark at the cost of your life. If you can defeat it, you can have a 90 percent of success!” Great Emperor Sun’s words brought endless confidence and hope to Lyu Liang again.

When Lyu Liang looked spirited again, Great Emperor Sun warned him. “Quite a few people also tried this way, but less than a fifth of them succeeded. The loser’s Divine Soul will be totally occupied by the power of Divine Mark, which is an absolute destroyer. Once he goes insane, there’s no turning back for him! As a result, we have to kill such kind of people!”

One fifth? Lyu Liang had been confident just now, but now he felt alarmed. However, he knew that he had no other choice! He would rather fight with his life than be a useless man under the protection of others!

Seemingly to try and encourage Lyu Liang, Great Emperor Sun smiled slightly and said, “All the people who succeeded have become formidable figures now, such as Wu-Ji Five Lords, who has five Divine Marks.”

“Senior, I see! I’m willing to take the trial, and I won’t regret it even if the price is death!” Lyu Liang cupped his hands and said respectfully, a hint of resolution creeping into his eyes.

Great Emperor Sun nodded and said softly, “If so, I won’t talk nonsense. I wish your trial a success!” Then, a pitch-black swirl appeared beside him.

Liang Liang understood his intention and cupped his hands again before he jumped into the swirl.

Then, Great Emperor Sun had a complex expression on his face. With a deep sigh, he waved his hand gently, and suddenly behind him, a figure appeared. It was precisely Dumb, exuding an aura at the Peak of Nascent Soul!

“Senior…” Dumb cupped his hands respectfully, and then, he had an anguished look on his face.

Great Emperor Sun waved his hand and said, “Judging by his strength, this boy will soon go out. So, we do not have much time now. Begin now! How you merge with the Holy Soul will decide whether or not he can defeat that lunatic!”
