The heavy rain hit the bluestone floor, causing tiny splashes of water. Lin Xiu clenched his fists, and his nails almost dug into his palms. Three days later was the sect competition, but his Dantian was still motionless, like a dead stone.
"Trash! If you can't even break through the body tempering realm, do you deserve the surname Lin?"
Cousin Lin Hao's taunts from last night are still echoing in my ears. Lin Xiu looked up at the stone tablet in the sect's forbidden area. The three ancient characters "Nishengya" glowed dimly in the rain. It is said that a hundred years ago, an ancestor realized the heaven-defying Dao pattern here, but lost control of his power and fell into the abyss.
"Maybe the answer can be found here." He took a deep breath and crossed the cordon. As soon as he stepped into the forbidden area, bloody lines suddenly appeared on the ground, wrapping around his ankles like a living thing.
"Ah——!"
Severe pain spread throughout the body from the soles of his feet, and Lin Xiu fell to the ground. Countless Dao pattern fragments emerged from the ground and penetrated into his meridians. A hoarse voice sounded in his mind: "The way to reverse life, conquer the creation of heaven and earth..."
The heavy rain stopped suddenly. Lin Xiu stood up tremblingly, and a twisted black pattern appeared on his chest, shaped like a reverse growth sword. He tried to circulate his true energy and found that the spiritual energy in his Dantian was surging like a volcano erupting.
"Is this... The awakening of Dao Mark?"
Before he finished speaking, there was muffled thunder from the sky. A bloody beam of light rose into the sky, illuminating the entire Yunlan Sect. In the Elder's Pavilion, the great elder who was in retreat suddenly opened his eyes: "Reverse-born Dao pattern! Seal the back mountain quickly, and we must not let this child leave alive!"
