A purple-gold mist encased Xiao Chen. Eight golden lotuses of Luck floated above the auspicious clouds. This was a mysterious phenomenon that represented Xiao Chen's potential.
The limit of the Fate Golden Lotus was nine flowers. If a cultivator's potential surpassed nine flowers, there would be other mysterious phenomena that represented potential, such as the Three Flowers Gathering, the Five Energies Unifying, the Earth Golden Lotus, and so on.
Of course, a martial artist's potential was not unchanging. Similarly, potential was derived from a martial artist's bloodline, talent, acquired opportunities, martial arts cultivation techniques, obtained treasures, and turned into one's own potential. This represented how far a martial artist could go in the future.
It was just like Xiao Chen. Even though he came from an insignificant background and had an ordinary bloodline, he relied on the Purple-Gold War Body to walk the ancient path of advancing the physical body into a Monarch, forcefully raising his ordinary physique to five golden lotuses of Luck.
Currently, his physical body had only just been cultivated to the Blood Yuan level and had yet to reach perfection. Of course, using pure Chaotic Qi to forge a body had also increased the degree of his potential.
Following that, Xiao Chen's Battle Qi and talent gave birth to another three Golden Lotuses of Luck, bringing his total to eight Golden Lotuses of Luck. Although such potential could not compare to the first-generation bloodline of a Sovereign King, it was already comparable to the potential of a Sovereign King's bloodline within five generations.
It had already been two hours since Xiao Chen stepped onto the Godking Platform. Even the other Deity Overlords took the same amount of time to step onto the Godking Platform for the first time. However, Xiao Chen showed no signs of completing his comprehension.
His entire body was still surrounded by the purple and gold light. Around his body, there were profound mysteries of the heaven and earth that kept on rippling, forming a mysterious tide.
"Greetings, Elder Bi, Palace Master!"
Soon, a figure stepped out of the mist and arrived below the Godking Stage. It was Marquis Luo Mu.
That figure was the Palace Master of Marquis Palace, Sun Punisher!
But it wasn't his real body. It was just a shadow!
Just a clone.
"I heard that it was Divine Marquis Xiao's first time on the Divine King Platform and you comprehended Dao Engraved in your heart. Luo Mu was curious and came to join in the fun." Divine Marquis Luo Mu quickly stated his reason for coming.
"Eight lotuses of fate!"
Then, Marquis Luo Mu's gaze landed on Xiao Chen. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This meant that Xiao Chen had the potential to become a direct descendant of a king within the fifth generation.
However, this kind of potential was shocking to many warriors in the barren land. To the one hundred and eighty-nine Marquis of Marquis Palace, he barely met the requirements. He wasn't very outstanding.
Every single Marquis had shocking potential. Some of them even had the first bloodline of a true ruler. Compared to them, Xiao Chen couldn't compare.
But after a while, Marquis Luo Mu's eyes returned to normal. He thought about Xiao Chen's background. With a normal body and starting from nothing, he had killed his way to a fifth generation king bloodline warrior's potential. This wasn't easy.
Furthermore, one's potential was not fixed. Furthermore, Xiao Chen was still very young. Which of the people present who were conferred the Divine Marquis title would not be several times older than Xiao Chen.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Soon, many figures appeared behind Marquis Luo Mu. They bowed to Elder Bi Xue and the shadow. Among them was Han Qian Marquis. It was obvious that Xiao Chen, as the new Marquis of Marquis Palace, had attracted a lot of people's interest.
Not yet legendary, but Marquis!
This was the same as the current Palace Master of Marquis Palace, Sun Punisher God King!
"It's a pity that he stopped at eight Golden Lotuses of Fate. If he came from a large clan, he wouldn't have stopped here. His bloodline is still a bit lacking. If he was a descendant of a ruler, even if it wasn't within the fifth generation, with his potential, he would be able to condense nine Golden Lotuses of Fate. His future would be limitless!"
A young cultivator said regretfully as he looked at Xiao Chen, who was surrounded by purple-gold Luck, on the God King Platform.
Since he was standing here, he was naturally a Titled Deity Overlord. This seemingly young cultivator had the title of Purple Moon. Of course, in addition to the title of Deity Overlord, he was also an expert of a region. In fact, he was quite famous. Naturally, he could sense Xiao Chen's situation.
In fact, Xiao Chen, a newly ascended Titled Marquis, could be said to be the weakest Titled Marquis in Marquis Palace!
Six Marquis had been attracted by Xiao Chen. As for the remaining Marquis powerhouses, they were either in seclusion or not in Marquis Palace.
"But why hasn't the Godking Altar finished comprehending the Golden Lotus of Fate, which represents the potential of the Golden Lotus of Fate?" asked the other Divine Overlords.
Xiao Chen had stayed on the Divine King Altar for far too long, far longer than they had expected.
Although stepping on the God King Platform for the first time was extremely beneficial to the cultivator, Xiao Chen had been sitting cross-legged on the God King Platform for two hours already. This was already longer than the time the Deity Marquises had taken to step on the God King Platform for the first time.
This was an aura that transcended time and space, as if it came from the ancient past. The aura of endless time enveloped Xiao Chen.
Purple-gold divine radiance flowed, and purple clouds poured down like a waterfall. Xiao Chen's black hair fluttered in the wind, and his body was like a golden glaze. His spine was like a huge dragon, and it let out a roar. His back was straight, and at this moment, every inch of his body was shining.
Twelve Heavenly Veins appeared in his body, like twelve rivers of Battle Qi. They crisscrossed and flowed into a vast ocean.
In the Zhou Tian's qi sea, twelve Heavenly Veins were connected. Battle Qi immediately surged, and a nine-storied platform stood in the middle of the surging qi sea. No matter how much the qi waves rolled, it did not tremble at all.
Of the nine layers of the high platform, eight were sparkling and sparkling. However, the top was dark and did not have any spirituality. However, Xiao Chen's Martial Dao was different from other cultivators.
This was because the Seal of Mountains and Rivers that had returned to the sea of qi had appeared below the ninth layer once again. It had become the foundation of the platform, so it seemed like the tenth layer with a single glance.
Of course, the cultivators outside could only see Xiao Chen's external phenomena. They were unable to see through the depths of Xiao Chen's body. The only question they had was why Xiao Chen had remained on the Divine King Altar for so long.
However, Xiao Chen had reached a stalemate. He allowed the mysteries of the surroundings to merge into his body, but he did not know what was going on. He had already fallen into his own path of enlightenment.
Was he going to break off his grasp and destroy the mysteries of the ways he had comprehended, leaving behind just one, or two, or three? They would support each other, and in the end, he would embark on the path of a Ruler and derive laws?
At this moment, he had also comprehended something. The Godking's Platform and the Truth Cabinet allowed cultivators to comprehend their own hearts. At the same time, he vaguely understood the path of cultivation of the human cultivators of the desolate land through the vast aura here.
This was the reason why he was a little hesitant. The Nine Heavens of the Martial Path were inscribed with nine Martial Path Divine Abilities. This was the fundamental path of a martial artist's cultivation. However, he suddenly realized that this was also an extremely difficult path.
If he followed the usual routine and comprehended another Occult when he advanced to the Legendary Realm, he would have nine Occult Mysteries.
At that time, it would be equivalent to putting nine shackles on his path of cultivation. If he wanted to break through, he would need to break through the shackles he had personally put on himself.
"The Nine Heavenly Layers of the Way of Martial. Nine Martial Abilities."
These words constantly rang through Xiao Chen's head. If a cultivator only derived a single mystery of the way and embarked on the path of a Ruler, it would be equivalent to only using a ninth of the nine heavenly layers of the Way of Martial. The remaining eight would be abandoned.
Finally, after who knew how long, a streak of light flashed through Xiao Chen's sea of soul. It was like a bolt of lightning had appeared in the gloomy sky, illuminating the entire place immediately. His soul seemed to be touched.
Almost as if his soul had been blessed, Xiao Chen felt an ocean-like presence surge into his sea of soul. It was different from the ancient feeling that the Godking's Platform gave him. It was even purer.
Buzz!
Just at this moment, the God King Platform gave off a bright divine light. Unexpectedly, a five-colored light appeared, and strands of auspicious light poured down like a waterfall, drowning Xiao Chen's entire body in it.
Afterwards, an illusionary, golden figure appeared from the Godking's Platform, entering Xiao Chen's body immediately.
"The Unification of Five Qis, the manifestation of a Godking!"
At that moment, even the Jade Blood Elder and the palace master of Marquis Palace were shocked, let alone the other Marquis cultivators behind them.
The Fate Golden Lotus was something that couldn't be obtained even if all nine of them were gathered to the peak. Similarly, before the Five Energies Unification, there was another type of irregular scene, the Three Flowers Gathering, which wasn't that frightening either, because almost all of the king level early generation bloodlines had this type of potential.
"The Three Flowers Manifest!"
In the next moment, some cultivators finally cried out, because apart from the Golden Lotus of Fate above Xiao Chen's head, Xiao Chen's five-clawed dragon, had actually turned into a blood-red lotus in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, the eight Golden Lotuses of Fate that Xiao Chen had condensed fused together, turning into an even more condensed, crystalline lotus. The two lotuses appeared together, but the third petal of the Three Flowers did not appear as everyone had expected.
Whoosh!
Even though the Three Flowers Manifestation had not fully manifested, the Unification of Five Qis was real. There was even the manifestation of a Godking. This was what shocked and envied all the cultivators.
The Golden Lotus of Fate, the Three Flowers at One's Prominence, and the Unification of Five Qis represented potential.
However, the final manifestation of a Godking represented a tremendous fortuitous encounter.
The Godking that everyone was talking about was the first Godking of the human race, the one who had shaken the world and left behind an indelible wound on the foreign races, the Goten Of Gojin.
He was the one who had perfected the path of fate for Marquis to Godking, opening the way for humans to defeat a taboo emperor as a supreme king. The manifestation of a first-generation Godking was a fortuitous encounter that all Marquis dreamed of.
