Chapter 3: The Mysterious Mark on the Chest

  "This is definitely not a birthmark, it should be a special mark, it's so amazing, I guess I need to study it carefully." Ye Chen muttered to himself, and then started practicing his fist technique in the room, every move and every style was done with full force until he was exhausted.

  At this time, the mark on his chest began to emit a faint heat, and a stream of pure energy flowed out from the mark, flowing towards his limbs and eight meridians. As the energy flowed throughout his body, Ye Chen could feel that his strength had increased slightly.

  "Although I can't cultivate true energy, I can still train my physical body. With this mysterious mark, I can cultivate my physical strength to a terrifying level. At that time, even without true energy, I can defeat many people!" Ye Chen clenched his fists, "As for the matter of the dantian, we'll think of a way later. For now, we need to first possess the power to protect ourselves."

  Ye Chen understood the special feature of the chest mark, as long as he let himself lose strength, the mark would surge out a pure stream of energy. The energy entered his limbs and bones, including every cell in his body, and could temper his flesh, strengthening his physical power. This mark was indeed a treasure.

  The cultivation method in this world is clearly different from Earth, Ye Qing is a cultivator, but Ye Chen did not feel the presence of true energy within his body. Ye Qing's strength far surpasses his, but it is also physical strength.

  Because the self in his previous dreams was a useless body, he was completely ignorant of cultivation matters. Ye Chen didn't know about this world's cultivation system. He planned to wait for Nang'er to return and ask her, that girl was also a cultivator. Or maybe tomorrow ask his father Ye Wentian.

  Ye Chen flipped over and fell onto the bed, kicked off his shoes, stared at the canopy in a daze, inexplicably brought to this world, inexplicably subjected to heavenly punishment by the heavens, and those nine great mountains that let him soak in the stone coffin filled with fresh blood. All of this was so bizarre.

  The blood in the stone coffin emitted a fragrance, almost like the scent of a young girl, which made him even more perplexed. Finally, the nine-day-old pattern entered his body, and everything went black before he knew it. When he woke up again, he found that his dantian had become harder than iron. Ye Chen was not stupid; he could basically confirm that because of the pattern entering his body, his dantian had been sealed.

  Ye Chen coldly smiled, unaware of his own virtues and abilities, yet he suffered the jealousy of heaven and earth, having his dantian sealed. Becoming a Heaven-punished crippled body.

  "If heaven wants to destroy me, I will not follow heaven's will. I will exhaust my strength and defy the heavens!" Ye Chen gritted his teeth, his face set in a firm expression, with an unspoken anger burning within him. On Earth, he was a man who did as he pleased, never willing to submit to fate. Now that he had arrived in this mysterious world, he would forge his own path!

  Ye Chen reached into his bosom and carefully pulled out a palm-sized piece of cloth, which was like a white gauze with bloodstains on it. He brought it to his nose and took a sniff, but there was no smell of blood, only a faint scent of perfume that made one feel drunk.

  "Is that you." Ye Chen whispered softly to the blood-stained collar, "If it's not you, I wouldn't have come to this world either. From now on, we'll be together."

  Mysteriously, Ye Chen felt that it was definitely related to the blood-stained hem of his clothes. When he picked up the hem, the sky and earth darkened, a large hand grasped him, and then he lost consciousness. After waking up, he found himself sleeping in a coffin.

  The old monk became more and more mysterious in his heart, after all, it was the old monk who let him go to Wushan to find this piece of 'blood-stained hem'.

  Ye Chen looked at it for a long time before carefully putting the blood-stained hem into his bosom. He could be certain that this piece of cloth was no ordinary object, and who knows, maybe one day it would come in handy.

  Collecting his thoughts, Ye Chen prepared to carefully observe his dantian. Although he already knew that his dantian was as hard as divine iron, he refused to give up and hoped to find a turning point.

  "Huh?"

  Ye Chen was somewhat surprised, originally he only used his spiritual sense to feel, but unexpectedly found that vaguely he could see inside, vaguely saw his own dantian, as black as ink, as if it really was like iron casting, on the dantian one could faintly see lines of texture flowing, with an inexpressible sealing power.

  After observing for a long time, the dantian was like a solid cage with a seal imposed on it. The true energy could not break through no matter what, and any psychological fluke was completely destroyed. Just as he was about to withdraw his mind from his body, suddenly, as if he had sensed something in his dantian.

  Something shook lightly inside the dantian, and with this one shake, the entire dantian trembled, and the seal patterns on top of it also accelerated their flow.

  "What's inside my dantian?"

  Ye Chen made an effort to peek, but no matter what he couldn't see through the dantian. After that slight vibration passed, everything returned to calmness, and it was even more imperceptible. After struggling for half a day, Ye Chen finally gave up, let out a deep breath, withdrew his mind, and looked at the top of the account, without any sleepiness.

  "Mysteriously arrived here, mysterious mark on my chest, blood-stained collar, and that thing in my dantian...". Ye Chen lay on the bed muttering to himself, "All of this, one day I will figure out."

  The light in the room gradually dimmed, and it was already dark outside. Nang still hadn't returned, so Ye Chen got up, walked to the kitchen he remembered, casually found something to eat to fill his stomach, and then went back to the room. After eating, he felt sleepy, stretched his waist, and fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

  That night, in the small courtyard where Ye Chen was, the withered flowers had actually grown buds, and the withered grass and trees began to sprout, as if they had welcomed another spring.

  Inside the house, Ye Chen's chest had a mark that was emitting a faint green glow. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth continued to gather towards the mark on his chest, but Ye Chen remained unaware of all this, still fast asleep.

  On the second day, early in the morning, just as it was getting light, Nan'er knocked on the door outside.

  "Master, wake up! You lazy guy, the old master has gone to the back mountain. If you make him wait too long, be careful not to get scolded."

  "What's all the commotion about? Can't a person even live in peace?" Ye Chen got out of bed, opened the door, and muttered to himself. He saw Nan'er holding a bowl of soup that emitted a refreshing aroma. "What's this?"

  "Why are you asking so many questions? This is what Master asked me to make for you, hurry up and drink it, then go to the back mountain, Master is waiting for you." Nang'er said carefully as she walked into the room, afraid that a single drop of soup would spill from the bowl. She placed it on the table, pulled Ye Chen over to sit down at the edge of the table, scooped up a spoonful of broth and blew on it gently before bringing it to Ye Chen's lips, "Young Master, it's not hot anymore, drink up."

  Ye Chen looked at Nan Er, his heart aching with emotion. Nan Er was just a child of ten or so years old, yet she was so sensible, considerate and well-behaved, knowing how to take care of people. Compared to the women he had met on Earth, it was like heaven and earth apart, impossible to mention in the same breath.

  "Master, you're spacing out again! Drink quickly, my hand is getting numb!" Nang'er said with a pout.

  "I'll go myself." Ye Chen picked up the bowl and drank several big gulps, then said: "What did Master ask you to do yesterday?"

  "Don't tell you!" Nannuo's eyes flashed with excitement, saying: "After a while, Nannuo will give Young Master a surprise, hehe..."

  "Oh?" Ye Chen became interested, but he didn't ask more questions, letting this girl maintain her mysteriousness.

  "Master, hurry up, the old master has probably been waiting for a long time." Nanger urged again, and while saying that, she kept pushing Ye Chen out. After Ye Chen's figure disappeared, Nanger stared blankly at the outside of the door, muttering to herself: "The young master seems different from before..."

  After passing through the small courtyard, a mountain forest, the mountain road winds its way up, and after walking for more than ten miles, Ye Chen arrived at a vast open space in the back of the mountain. A tall figure stood motionless with his back to him, standing quietly in front. Looking at the figure's back, Ye Chen felt as if the person in front of him was not Ye Wen Tian, but a great mountain, thick and immovable!

  "Here." Ye Wentian turned around, pointed to the position in front of him and said: "Come over, sit down cross-legged."

  Ye Chen walked over, sat down cross-legged, opened his mouth and said: "Father, is it that you called me here today to teach me the way of cultivation?" Originally, Ye Chen couldn't bring himself to call out this title for his father, but after all, he had been calling it out in his dreams for twenty years. Although he was no longer the useless Ye Chen from before, now that he had come to this world, he should adapt to everything.

  "Not bad, Chen Er, your physique is special, the usual cultivation methods are not suitable for you. If you force yourself to cultivate, it will greatly affect your potential and cannot further open up your physical treasure." Ye Wen Tian's expression was serious as he looked at Ye Chen, "In the future, if you want to cultivate a method, you must choose the best one. You must remember, it's better to lack than to be excessive!"

  "What's special about my body? What does this mean?" Ye Chen looked at Ye Wen Tian with confusion and puzzlement.

  "There are many people in this world who have a naturally transcendent physique, with strong blood vessels that become more and more prominent as their cultivation realm increases." Ye Wentian said calmly, his eyes flashing with insight, "And your physique is the strongest among all special physiques, something that heaven and earth cannot contain."

  Ye Chen's eyes widened in shock, a hint of fear flashing across his face. "Father, how did you know?" Ye Chen's heart was racing with anxiety, wondering if Ye Wen Tian had already discovered that he was not the same useless Ye Chen from before.

  At this moment, Ye Chen had a feeling that his father, Ye Wen Tian, was by no means an ordinary person, at least not comparable to anyone from the four major families in Lin City.

  Ye Wen Tian looked at Ye Chen deeply and said: "You seem to be worried about something?"

  "I..." Ye Chen opened his mouth, considering whether to tell Ye Wen Tian the truth, but he was worried that Ye Wen Tian would have a hard time accepting it once he knew.

  "It's actually you who didn't go missing half a year ago, Chen Er!" Just as Ye Chen was struggling, Ye Wen Tian's words exploded in his ears like a thunderbolt.

  Ye Chen was stunned. How did Ye Wen Tian know? Since he came to this world, he hadn't spoken more than a few words with Ye Wen Tian. How could Ye Wen Tian be so certain that he wasn't the original Ye Chen?

  He looked at Ye Wen Tian, and Ye Wen Tian also looked at him, their eyes calm as water, without a single ripple.

  "What you said is right, I am not the Ye Chen from before, neither in soul nor body. I came from another place and ended up here inexplicably...I didn't intentionally hide it, just wanted to wait for the right moment to tell you..." Ye Chen confessed, now that things have come to this point, there's nothing more to hide, he only hopes that Ye Wen Tian can believe what he says.
