Chapter 388: Dragon Gate! Dragon Mark!
Chapter 388: Dragon Gate! Dragon Mark!
Looking up.
This was a pitch-black world.
Here, everything seemed to have vanished.
Only before his eyes, there was a massive gate.
Su Ping never imagined that the Dragon Gate was actually a real gate.
With a wave of Holy Dragon Legend's hand, he arrived at this place.
This was such a unique gate.
And before the gate, there was a golden staircase.
Other than that, the place was shrouded in darkness.
Su Ping could only look up, gazing at the top of the staircase, which had only a dozen steps, and the enormous golden Dragon Gate.
On the Dragon Gate, in the left and right reliefs, two figures familiar to Su Ping were carved.
Because he had truly seen these two figures before.
In the Omnipotent Beast Codex.
One was a golden five-clawed golden dragon,
And the other was a colossal dragon with dark golden horns and a body shimmering with colorful light.
The representatives of the Giant Dragon Clan and the Divine Dragon Clan seemed to be engraved on this Dragon Gate.
It was enough to prove their orthodox status.
"Is this the Dragon Gate?"
Su Ping blinked and muttered to himself. He could sense the power hidden within this gate, which was so special and powerful.
At the same time, when facing this strange object, there was also an indescribable feeling.
"That's right. According to speculation, even Dragon City was born from the Dragon Gate. The origin of the Dragon Clan almost came from this Dragon Gate."
The voice of Holy Dragon Legend sounded from behind.
Su Ping looked at the gate and couldn't help but want to step on it, but fortunately, he resisted the urge. With curiosity, he asked, "What's inside the Dragon Gate?"
This tightly closed gate remained firmly shut, never showing any signs of opening.
However, this time, what Su Ping didn't expect was that Holy Dragon Legend thought for a moment and then shook his head slightly:
"I don't know!"
"You don't know?"
Su Ping was stunned. How could the current master of the Dragon Nation not know about their most precious treasure?
Holy Dragon Legend smiled slightly:
"Su Ping, I'm not joking with you. Although I have my speculations about the Dragon Gate, and I've climbed to the eleventh step, having control over the Dragon Gate's influence on Dragon City, I truly don't know what's inside."
"Because I can't force my way in! The Dragon Gate only opens when it spews out Dragon God Blood, but even then, I can't force my way in."
Su Ping nodded.
So that's how it was.
"Do I still need to climb these steps?"
"What do you think? The mystery of the Dragon Gate hasn't been fully understood in the Dragon Nation for the past two hundred years. However, the only thing we can be certain of is that the benefits brought by the Dragon Gate are immense!"
Holy Dragon Legend smiled slightly.
Are there benefits to this thing? Su Ping was slightly taken aback, and then Holy Dragon Legend directly lifted his chin:
"Why don't you go up and try it?"
His eyes were filled with laughter. In terms of controlling the Dragon Gate, he had almost surpassed everyone in the history of the Dragon Nation. Although the Dragon Gate was only discovered during the late Liang Dynasty, how many exceptionally talented individuals had come into contact with it? Even so, it was rare for anyone to directly climb past the fourth step of the twelve steps of the Dragon Gate, which he called the process of leaping through the Dragon Gate.
However, he, this exceptionally talented Holy Dragon Legend, now stood on the eleventh step. With just one more step, he could face the Dragon Gate and stand before it.
Perhaps at that moment, he could go and see what secrets lay beyond the Dragon Gate!
Therefore, he was well aware of the true intentions of Holy Dragon Legend.
Since he was telling him to try climbing the steps, he might as well give it a try.
As he stepped forward, the golden staircase before him seemed to reverberate with an endless dragon's roar.
With each step, the twelve steps felt as solid as mountains beneath his feet.
Su Ping was well aware that these steps were not merely a threshold to his home.
His first step landed on the initial Dragon Gate's stair.
As he took that step, a gust of wind seemed to sweep over his entire body, and simultaneously, the dragon's roar echoed in his ears.
The Saint Dragon Legend beside him frowned in surprise.
Something was amiss; according to the Dragon Gate's repelling nature, one without even a contracted Dragon Companion should have been immediately rejected and thrown out.
Perhaps it was because his other foot had not yet lifted off the ground.
He prepared himself and then addressed Su Ping:
"Ascend the steps!"
Su Ping clenched his teeth, ignoring the deafening dragon's roar in his ears, and lifted his left foot, joining his right foot in standing motionless.
'Hmm?'
The Saint Dragon Legend was taken aback, seeing Su Ping standing on the first step, and he too was momentarily stunned, not quite comprehending what was happening.
It was evident that very few things in this world could astonish this individual.
Unfortunately, at that moment, Su Ping didn't notice the peculiar fluctuations in the Saint Dragon Legend's expression.
Because at that instant, Su Ping himself was completely bewildered.
The dragon's roar in his ears, as his footsteps fell, a strange serpentine sound formed in his heart:
'Ascending the first step of the Dragon Gate, you have obtained the Dragon Mark.'
Indeed.
Such a simple sound left Su Ping somewhat bewildered.
He felt that with each step on the Dragon Gate's stairs, in the depths of his soul, a faint shadow of a Divine Dragon and a Giant Dragon appeared.
Although this shadow was even fainter than the Celestial Grave's gray-white flame mark, it had no effect.
Instead, Su Ping felt his mental power swaying, and the two Dragon Clan talents seemed to be enhanced.
Dragon Aura and Eternal Dragon Soul? Of course, the significance of this existence represented something crucial!
The Dragon Mark?
Su Ping exhaled deeply, and a barely noticeable flicker of excitement flashed in his eyes.
He was aware of the Celestial Grave Mark's effects and could even enhance the Paper Doll Catalog, which had already reached its maximum level, to a higher level under such circumstances.
If this were the Dragon Mark...
Su Ping pursed his lips, ignoring the peculiar gaze of the Saint Dragon Legend behind him, and raised his head again, taking another tentative step!
Then, as Su Ping prepared to catch him, the Saint Dragon Legend's gaze grew even more peculiar.
He found that Su Ping's steps, once again, were firmly planted on the second step of the dragon gate.
this is impossible.
unless it's a juvenile dragon, no human could do this.
the saint dragon legend was baffled.
he already knew a lot about the dragon gate.
naturally, he was aware of its rules.
but precisely because he knew, it made no sense!
what's this kid's secret? could he be a dragon soul as well? that's obviously impossible.
yet, no matter how unbelievable it seemed, Su Ping still stood there, closing his eyes once more.
just like before, as the dragon's roar echoed in his ears, that voice appeared again:
'Ascending the second step of the Dragon Gate, the source of the Dragon Mark is enhanced.'
in the depths of his soul, the shadows of the Divine Dragon and the Giant Dragon became more solid.
this intensity was not much less than that of the Celestial Grave Mark.
clearly, Su Ping's guess was correct.
his eyes blazed with intensity.
then, at a speed several times faster than before, he took another step onto the third step of the Dragon Gate, under the Saint Dragon Legend's bewildered gaze.
'Ascending the third step of the Dragon Gate, the source of the Dragon Mark is enhanced.'
as this voice echoed in his ears once more, Su Ping felt the back of his hands growing warm.
the next moment, on the backs of his hands, strange marks of a Giant Dragon and a Divine Dragon slowly emerged.
this is...
Su Ping glanced at them but didn't pay much attention, instead taking another step!
the fourth step?!
how did this kid do it? the saint dragon legend stared at Su Ping, curious to see his limits.
what allowed him to achieve this?
(end of chapter)
The Dragon Mark on his palm was a tangible proof that Dragon Gate had indeed recognized this Overlord Rank's non-dragon companion beastmaster of Overlord rank.
Unfortunately, at this moment, Su Ping still hadn't received an answer.
After ascending to the fourth level, the feedback he received seemed slightly different from before.
"Upon reaching the fourth level of Dragon Gate, the source of the Dragon Mark is enhanced, allowing for the identification of lifeforms with Dragon Transformation authority."
Indeed, after reaching the fourth level, Su Ping was finally able to use the ability that had been repeatedly proven by others.
Was this the power of Dragon Gate? Sensing the method of detection used by Dragon Gate in his mind, Su Ping exhaled a long breath.
The identification of Dragon Gate, in addition to personally identifying at Dragon Gate, also allowed beastmasters with the Dragon Mark to perform remote identifications, albeit with slightly inferior effects compared to the former, and perhaps less accurate.
But this was still very practical.
Su Ping truly hadn't expected that this visit to Dragon Gate would yield such significant gains.
Not to mention the genuine Dragon Mark within his soul, which was already enough.
This mark was even more abundant than the Celestial Grave Mark.
Yet, it had none of the negative effects of the Celestial Grave Mark.
This was more precious to Su Ping than anything else.
Su Ping continued to look up, unconsciously wanting to take another step forward.
However, a Dragon Roar, countless times more intense than before, reverberated at this moment, and in the next second, Su Ping felt his body instantly fly backward.
He was directly blasted off the stairs of Dragon Gate.
Fortunately, the Holy Dragon Legend standing beside the stairs of Dragon Gate reacted in time, allowing Su Ping to flip in the air and land below the stairs.
Su Ping patted his chest with a lingering sense of danger, but with a hint of regret, he said:
"It seems the fourth level is already my limit, what a pity!"
He could sense that if he continued ascending the stairs, the source of the Dragon Mark would continue to enhance, but unfortunately...
Then, Su Ping saw the peculiar gaze of the person before him.
Was this still a pity?
If this was still a pity, then wouldn't he be even more regretful?
The man pursed his lips, thought for a moment, but asked nothing.
In fact, there was no need to ask anything.
The reason was simple. After Su Ping reached the fourth level, when the Dragon Mark became stronger, he felt that Su Ping's second talent had emerged, possibly even the one-in-a-million third talent of a beastmaster.
And at that moment, Su Ping, without realizing it, had inadvertently revealed his Dragon Authority, allowing the man to understand why this rascal had been able to ascend four times.
While it was said that possessing the Dragon Authority talent allowed one to ascend four times, it was still somewhat incredible, but in the end, it provided a reason and explanation.
A reason and explanation that this person could accept.
Therefore, the Holy Dragon Legend didn't say much more, but smiled and nodded:
"Very good, I originally thought that before you enter the Celestial Grave, you should try to successfully ascend and obtain the Dragon Mark, which might slightly suppress the influence of the Celestial Grave Mark on you. But now it seems I've underestimated you, Su Ping. You truly have exceeded my expectations."
"Good luck, good luck, hehe."
Su Ping's heart relaxed slightly, and in fact, the previous Dragon Authority wasn't something he had released unintentionally, but rather, he had pretended to inadvertently reveal it at that moment.
He also realized that his ability to reach the fourth level seemed somewhat exaggerated.
And before that, he had heard some information about the second talent from this person, so naturally, he could try to reveal his 'second talent' as well.
Just to give this person a reason to accept it.
The Holy Dragon Legend nodded, waved his hand, and the two of them instantly reappeared on the pavilion:
"Alright, you've successfully ascended, and it's getting late. If you're going to participate in the final test, you should pay attention to getting some rest."
It was evident that their interaction was coming to an end.
It was a pity that Su Ping wanted to ask if the Dragon Mark had any other functions besides this. However, the person before him seemed to be thinking about something and had no intention of continuing the explanation, so Su Ping could only wait for a future opportunity.
Su Ping quickly nodded:
"Okay, you go and take care of your business."
Although he hadn't come into contact with the other inheritance sites in Dragon City, he wasn't in a hurry, as he still had plenty of time in the Imperial Capital.
But the most crucial thing at the moment was that he was slightly impatient to meet Meng Huangliang.
