The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 716 - 402 Mark_2

Speaking of this, she told Changtian about the battle that had taken place in her Sea of Consciousness, the tense parts of which frightened even Changtian after hearing them. When she mentioned the rune within the Sea of Consciousness. Changtian’s expression suddenly changed as he exclaimed, "What?"

Given his knowledge, he pondered for a long time but still couldn’t grasp the concept, so he suggested, "Let me take a look inside. I need to enter your Sea of Consciousness to identify that rune."

"Go inside and... look? You also possess the abilities of Yin Jiu You?"

He naturally didn’t know what she was thinking, and casually said, "Silly girl, don’t forget that in God Demon Prison, I spent half my time studying his abilities. My mastery of Soul Cultivation Method isn’t as profound as his, but I’ve also dabbled a bit."

That’s right, she remembered that when they were in Rock City, he used the Divine Skills of Soul Searching and Dream Entering to help her access the memories within the maidservant’s Treasure Bead, which must also be one of Yin Jiu You’s signature skills.

He lit the Soul Calming Incense, then lifted her onto his lap. Seeing her anxious expression, Changtian softly said, "Just relax, don’t resist. It won’t hurt."

It won’t... hurt? Well, she admitted she was overthinking it, and couldn’t help but blush. Smelling the strange fragrance, she felt more and more relaxed, then felt Changtian press his index finger gently on her temples, as a gentle stream of Divine Power continually flowed into her. Then, he pressed lightly between her eyebrows on the Yintang point.

With a "humming" sound, her Divine Sense expanded boundlessly, and when she came to her senses, she was standing above her own Sea of Consciousness, with Changtian’s Primordial Spirit standing right beside her, unrestrained, without any chains binding him.

Standing between the blue sky and the green waves, the bright light shining on his face, her Changtian looked breathtakingly handsome.

"Your Sea of Consciousness is very beautiful." He smiled and praised, "Where’s the rune, point it out to me."

She took his hand and together they dived into the depths of the Sea of Consciousness, and after some searching, they finally found that strange rune at the bottom of the sea. "...It’s this one. When I was fighting against Duanmu Yan’s avatar, it emitted a light like purple crystal. It purified the entire Sea of Consciousness."

She fixed her gaze on Changtian subconsciously, so she didn’t miss the sudden change in his expression, one of utter shock, as if he had seen a ghost, similar to the one on Duanmu Yan’s avatar. No, it was even more intense.

In that instant, Changtian’s face turned extremely pale, and then slowly became stern, and finally, he reached out to touch that still, motionless rune. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Realizing something was amiss, she quietly stood aside and watched him in a daze, not daring to make a sound.

After what seemed like an eternity, Changtian suddenly turned to look at her. Ning Xiaoxian would bet that in that moment, she saw a mix of shock and hatred in his eyes, but the next second, those emotions disappeared, so swiftly that she thought she was imagining it. However, her keen senses picked up on a barrier of separation and doubt forming between them. She was afraid of this version of Changtian, and couldn’t help but pull at his sleeve and ask, "What exactly is this?"

He didn’t speak, didn’t even move his eyes.

"Let’s talk outside." It was a long time before he spoke in a distant voice, and then he pulled her Primordial Spirit out of the Sea of Consciousness.

"What is that?" She pressed again.

Changtian’s gaze burned fiercely as if he wanted to scorch her with his golden eyes: "This is the mark of a Spiritual Oath." He enunciated every word, "Didn’t you ask me what rune it is? Hmph. This is the Ancient Demon Language, symbolizing the word ’You’. This is the Spiritual Oath mark of Yin Jiu You!"

"Wha... What?" No matter how much she had honed her calming skills, she was nearly shocked to the point of her soul leaving her body by this bolt from the blue. She said with a trembling voice, "I didn’t understand, say it again! Please God, don’t let it be the literal meaning!"

"I’m saying..." Changtian took a deep breath, trying to stabilize his own Mental State. "I don’t know when, but Yin Jiu You planted the Spiritual Oath mark in your Sea of Consciousness."

Ning Xiaoxian suddenly jumped up like a cat that had its tail stepped on, squealing, "Lies, lies! How is that possible, I’ve never met him!" She looked at Changtian with a pale face, suddenly understanding the source of his prior reaction, her lips trembling, unable to help herself from hugging him tightly, burying her head in his chest, urgently saying, "I don’t know where this mark came from, truly I don’t. You have to believe me!"

Changtian remained expressionless as she hugged him, making no move. For the first time, she felt that the chest she was leaning on was so hard, so cold, and a strong feeling of injustice and panic rose from the bottom of her heart, causing her body to tremble uncontrollably.
