Dao-mark

Tang Wan-er was excited to talk about becoming a Favored. She told Long Chen that ever since she had absorbed that Dao-mark, she could feel a mysterious energy supporting her.
Her wind blades had also changed. Her control over wind energy had reached a kind of pinnacle, and her wind runes were clearer than ever. In terms of power, they were at least ten times stronger than in the past.
In reality, a Favored's Dao-mark was a natural mark of the Heavenly Daos. It was extremely ephemeral and mysterious. It was a mysterious existence that occurred with karmic destiny. 
When a baby was born, if their karmic luck was great enough, they would receive the approval of the Heavenly Daos, and that natural mark would adhere to their body in order to even further increase their karmic luck.
But this kind of natural Dao-mark wouldn't stay the same forever. As a person grew, if their karmic luck faded, that Dao-mark would also fade away to find another host or perhaps just disappear back into the heavens.
That was why their Dao-mark would automatically leave their body when they were killed.
A person could forcibly try to absorb that Dao-mark at that time. But as for whether or not you could succeed in having it stay in your body, that would essentially count on your karmic luck.
After that huge battle, three people had had their Dao-marks stolen. But only Tang Wan-er had succeeded in absorbing the Dao-mark. And that was actually extremely lucky.
It was said that the odds of succeeding in absorbing another person's Dao-mark were less than ten percent. However, once you succeeded, then with the Dao-mark's karmic luck adding onto your own, your future would be limitless.
That was why Tang Wan-er was so excited. She was also deeply moved, and surprisingly, she held onto Long Chen's hand warmly. "Thank you, Long Chen. You aren't even a Favored, but you gave me your chance to become one."
But just thinking about that actually filled Long Chen with resentment. When Tu Fang had told him to snatch that Dao-mark, he had sensed that it would most likely have no affinity with him.
And as he had expected, Chu Yao had told him that this Dao-mark was something that existed on top of the Dantian's Spirit Root. If the Spirit Root was likened to a huge tree, then elemental spiritual qi was like the tree's fruit.
Other than being able to provide more karmic luck, that Dao-mark was also able to change a person's spiritual qi attribute. It was able to increase the affinity and strength of a person's elemental attribute by dozens of times.
Chu Yao was an excellent example. She was a wood cultivator, and normal wood cultivators weren't powerful combat experts. They were generally only capable of assisting the real fighters. Their greatest ability was their ability to heal wounds.
But as a Favored, Chu Yao's wood energy had changed, containing a trace of metal element.
Metal and wood oppressed each other. It should have fundamentally been impossible to merge them, and yet the power of a Favored could not be judged according to common sense. And that was one of the reasons a Favored's combat ability was so terrifying.
Once Tang Wan-er had absorbed that Dao-mark, her wind energy had also changed. So, now a random wave of Tang Wan-er's hand was just as strong as one of her full strength attacks in the past. That was why Tang Wan-er was incredibly grateful to Long Chen.
Long Chen had directly given that Favored's corpse to her after he had killed him. She hadn't even known what a Favored's Dao-mark was, but she had simply listened to what he said.
Only once she had absorbed that Dao-mark had she realized that Long Chen had made a great sacrifice, leaving this huge opportunity to her.
This was also why Chu Yao sensed that Long Chen's treatment of Tang Wan-er wasn't just that of two friends. So, she had taken the initiative to form a relationship with her. In reality, Long Chen had been misjudged.
His Dantian was completely empty. Where was there a Spirit Root for that Dao-mark to adhere to? Giving it to Tang Wan-er was simply the right thing to do.Chapter 272
