Chapter 500: The Might of the Eternal Mark

"Can you trigger the Eternal Mark now?" Lingyun asked.

"This, let me try..." Chen Jing nodded, then closed her eyes.

"Hum..." An invisible ripple spread out from Chen Jing, and an Array shining with colorful light quickly appeared between her brows.

"Hmm, it seems a bit different," Lingyun said, staring at the Array.

He recalled the marks on the brows of Ashtarte and Nangong Nayue. After a careful comparison, he discovered that while the Eternal Marks of the three of them looked very similar overall, they still differed in many details. It felt as if this mark had appeared based on their own individual circumstances.

"It's starting!" Sensing the changes in her own Source Power, Lingyun began to settle his mind to carefully investigate the mysteries within.

Because it was her first time autonomously activating the Eternal Mark, Chen Jing's activation time was a bit longer, which gave Lingyun more of an opportunity to understand the Eternal Mark.

In Lingyun's perception, the connection between him and Chen Jing suddenly strengthened several times over the moment the Eternal Mark was activated, and his own Source Power was flowing toward Chen Jing's body through the invisible channel formed by this connection.

Subsequently, a shocking scene occurred. After receiving Lingyun's Source Power, the aura on Chen Jing's body began to climb steadily; she actually broke through the rank barrier with ease, directly advancing to the Golden Core Realm, and a very stable Golden Core Realm at that. More importantly, with the protection of the Source Power, this advancement would not cause any damage to Chen Jing's foundation; the biggest limitations were the time limit brought by the Source Power transmission and the physical stamina caps of the two.

"This is no different from cheating!" Lingyun couldn't help but click his tongue. "Chen Jing, how do you feel now?"

"Star Gang Fist!" Chen Jing suddenly bounced off the bed and threw a punch straight at Lingyun.

Lingyun's figure swayed slightly, his right hand reaching out to grasp Chen Jing's fist. With a flick and a turn, he turned all the star power on her fist into nothingness. Feeling the force transmitted through his palm, Lingyun couldn't help but nod slightly; the power of this move had already reached the strongest level Chen Jing could exert at the Golden Core Early Stage.

"Hmm, I can only use a move like this three times right now," Chen Jing said.

"Three times, that's enough!" Lingyun said.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a scorching aura suddenly came from Lingyun's side; it was none other than the Nirvana Fire emitted by Su Wanyue. But before this flame could get close to Lingyun, it was illuminated by the light radiating from his body and turned entirely into nothingness.

"Was that just now, Purification Light?" Su Wanyue asked.

"Yes!" Lingyun nodded slightly.

"Lingyun, let's test our strength after activating the Eternal Mark!" Chen Jing said to Lingyun with great interest.

"Why, not going to spar with those Spirits anymore?" Lingyun asked.

"Sparring with them after activating the Eternal Mark, wouldn't that be bullying them!" Chen Jing tilted her head and said.

"Since that's the case, then come on!" A wicked smile curled at the corner of Lingyun's mouth, and an invisible Domain unfolded around him, instantly pulling the three people present into it.

Three hours later, the figures of the three of them appeared in the room once again, though this time it was Lingyun reaching out his hands to support the two of them.

Chen Jing and the other were like they had been fished out of water, their entire bodies soft and limp, without even the strength to move a finger.

"Lingyun, you bastard!" Feeling her body devoid of any strength, Chen Jing said to Lingyun, feeling somewhat like crying but having no tears.

"What, you two played too hard yourselves, what does that have to do with me?" Lingyun said with a smile.

"This..." Chen Jing was momentarily speechless.

In Lingyun's Domain Space, it was filled with Source Power. In this environment, Chen Jing and the other would not experience a lack of Source Power when activating the Eternal Mark, and the duration of the Eternal Mark's activation was greatly extended. Under these circumstances, the two of them, having truly grasped Golden Core power for the first time, played until they lost control, using the convenience of the environment to entangle with Lingyun at all costs. The final result was that when the Eternal Mark was released, the tidal wave of exhaustion caused them to collapse directly to the floor.

"However, under the blessing of the Eternal Contract, your strength really has skyrocketed, especially that recovery ability which is even more exaggerated than a Blood Demon Beast; it will definitely give opponents a headache!" Lingyun analyzed the details that appeared during the battle.

"That's right, it's just that recovering from injuries consumes way too much stamina," Chen Jing said.

"That, Wanyue, how are you feeling?" When Lingyun looked toward Su Wanyue, he discovered she had already fallen asleep.

"Well, forget it, you two should just get some good rest!" Shaking his head, he then placed both of them onto the bed.

Chen Jing nodded at Lingyun, then closed her eyes and fell asleep.

"Ruoxi, come out!" Lingyun said to the Void.

"Yay, Brother, do you have anything you need from your cute little sister?" Ruoxi popped out from the Void all of a sudden and hung onto Lingyun's neck.

"That power hidden within Chen Jing and the other, that was your doing, wasn't it!" Lingyun said, pinching Ruoxi's cheeks.

"Mmph mmph mmph, Brother, let me go!" Ruoxi, in Lingyun's arms, struggled desperately, taking a great deal of effort to rescue her face from Lingyun's hands.

"Tell me, what good deed did you do?" Lingyun looked at her and said.

"Brother, I just signed a contract with them," Ruoxi said, rubbing her cheeks. "I let the two big sisters use themselves to gestate a portion of the rules in the Cloud Realm for me, and the Cloud Realm feeds the power of these laws back into them, enhancing their talent."

"Hmm? Is that all?" Lingyun's gaze swept over Ruoxi, his tone filled with deep suspicion.

"That's right, that's all it is!" For the sake of her little face, Ruoxi nodded desperately.

"Forget it, let's leave this matter for now. By the way, has your world coordinate locking finished?" Lingyun asked.

"Not yet," Ruoxi said, blinking her large eyes. "But I already have some leads; it will be finished after a little more time!"

"Hmm." Lingyun nodded.

"Brother, I'm going back to the Cloud Realm now, I won't disturb the three of you!" Ruoxi suddenly flashed a sly smile at Lingyun, then disappeared into the air.

"Sigh, this little girl!" Lingyun shook his head slightly, then sat on the edge of the bed, slowly channeling the Source Power within his body into the two of them to soothe their exhaustion.

Under the treatment of Lingyun's Source Power, the two of them soon fell into a deep sleep.
