Chapter 544: Fire Gold Lock
Although Jiang Yun had decided to use these almost transparent runes to try to break the Birthmark Seal, he asked for advice from Blood Robe before that.
These runes, called the Tao Mark of the Great Dao.
The Tao Mark, as a way to show the Dao, doesn’t just represent one type of Dao, but can combine all the Daos.
Generally, when a cultivator understands the Dao, or reaches the realm of questioning the Dao, they will face the Tao Calamity and come into contact with the Tao Mark.
Even more exceptionally gifted individuals can use the Tao Mark as a power to cast spells!
Spells cast with the Tao Mark are no longer simple spells or Taoist spells, but are called Daoist spells!
In short, they include the power of the Dao and the Power of Rules.
The power of Daoist spells is something beyond what Jiang Yun can currently imagine, easily destroying a realm is definitely within reach.
However, the Tao Mark used in Tao techniques is not like spirit qi, which comes from within cultivators, but is drawn from all things in nature, easily grasped.
The essence of Tao techniques is about being natural.
As for someone like Jiang Yun, with only Sky Reaching Realm cultivation, they might encounter a Tao Calamity.
Jiang Yun even dared to snatch Tao Marks from the calamity cloud during the Tao Calamity, and absorbed them into his body, a feat unheard of by Blood Robe and others.
Therefore, they had no idea what Jiang Yun could do with these Tao Marks now.
After hearing everyone’s explanations, Jiang Yun couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
He had indeed obtained something very powerful and precious through his actions, but he seemed unable to use it at present.
"Regardless, since I’ve worked so hard to obtain it, I have to at least give it a try!"
With his resilient personality, Jiang Yun would not give up on his ideas just because of Blood Robe and others’ explanations.
After calming his mind, Jiang Yun’s special sense expanded infinitely, turning into countless threads, trying to control the Tao Marks and force them onto the Birthmark Seal on his back.
Unfortunately, even the power of the seal could not touch the Tao Marks, making it impossible for Jiang Yun’s special sense to do so too.
After several attempts, Jiang Yun had to give up on using them to break the seal and withdrew his special sense.
However, seeing the Tao Marks uncontrollably moving within his body made him feel frustrated and unwilling.
Taking a big risk to snatch the Tao Marks from the Tao Calamity, now not being under his control and serving no purpose, felt like a complete waste.
More importantly, the Tao Marks were now like unwelcome guests freely roaming inside his body.
Although currently not feeling any harm, he could not let them stay in his body like this indefinitely.
Just when Jiang Yun was feeling helpless, a strand of Tao Mark unexpectedly entered his life fire!
"Bang!"
The fire of life suddenly grew bigger and burned fiercely, wrapping around the Tao Mark.
Under the burning of the life fire, the out-of-control Tao Mark suddenly quieted down, getting smaller and smaller until it disappeared, like being burnt into nothingness by the flames!
As the Tao Mark vanished, other Tao Marks turned towards Jiang Yun’s life fire like cats smelling fish, rushing towards it one after another.
To Jiang Yun, they seemed like moths to a flame, clearly leading themselves to destruction.
However, Jiang Yun was powerless to stop them.
Unless he was willing to die again and extinguish the life fire, he couldn’t prevent the Tao Marks from sacrificing themselves.
Finally, all the Tao Marks turned to nothing under the burning of the life fire.
This outcome made even the usually calm Jiang Yun couldn’t help but curse.
He reluctantly activated his life fire again, only to find that it didn’t change at all after burning the Tao Marks, realizing that his efforts were in vain.
Angry, Jiang Yun stopped paying attention to Tao Mark and started seriously thinking about the Five Elements and Chaos Power he felt in Tao Calamity.
It must be said that the appearance of Tao Calamity was like a great teacher for Jiang Yun, who had just cultivated the Five Elements Cave Heaven. Through leading by example, Jiang Yun gained a deeper understanding of the Five Elements.
Especially the heaviness of the Earth Power, which influences space, piqued his interest. Soon, his entire focus was immersed in understanding the power of the Five Elements.
As Jiang Yun meditated, time passed quickly. After half a month, his life fire suddenly flickered strangely.
Within this flickering, a small golden lock the size of a fingernail faintly emerged from the depths of his life fire.
At the keyhole of the golden lock, the Tao Mark that had previously disappeared due to the life fire’s burning suddenly gushed out and flowed back into Jiang Yun’s body.
The reappearance of the Tao Mark naturally woke Jiang Yun up, but he was puzzled and didn’t understand what was happening.
These Tao Marks were no longer aimlessly wandering in Jiang Yun’s body as before. They seemed conscious, as if guided by someone, and orderly flowed into Jiang Yun’s dantian.
Next, these Tao Marks turned into snowflakes and drifted down from the sky, falling into the Boundary Sea and the One Hundred Thousand Mang Mountains.
Even the bodies of the three Dao bodies were covered with some Tao Marks.
"This is…"
Jiang Yun was confused by the series of actions of the Tao Marks, but could do nothing about it.
He tried secretly to control them again, but still failed.
Finally, when all the Tao Marks fell into Jiang Yun’s dantian, a buzzing sound suddenly rang out.
These Tao Marks all vibrated together and lit up with brightness!
This situation lasted for almost a quarter of an hour. When the light faded, Jiang Yun’s dantian returned to calm, and those Tao Marks disappeared again!
However, Jiang Yun knew that this time the Tao Marks did not disappear but were deeply imprinted on his dantian like a brand, merging with everything inside it, never to disappear.
"Buzz!"
At the same time, Jiang Yun’s hair moved on its own, releasing a strong energy that surprised Blood Robe and the others. They all looked at Jiang Yun with puzzled expressions.
Jiang Yun slowly opened his eyes, stood up, and in his eyes, there were fleeting Tao Marks shimmering.
As he stood up, for a moment, Blood Robe and the others lost sight of Jiang Yun and instead saw countless Tao Marks.
Even though Jiang Yun reappeared in front of them in an instant, this scene stirred up a great storm in their hearts.
In that moment, Jiang Yun didn’t seem like himself to them but more like – the Way!
On top of that, Jiang Yun emitted an aura that made them and all creation intensely desire, the Aura of the Tao!
