Ascension of The Unholy Immortal-Chapter 300: Liang’s hidden card

"Father, what happened with your plans? Why did you allow Liang to enter the secret realm?"

Dong Rui looked at her father suspiciously, trying to decipher what could have made the clan change their opinion about Liang’s participation.

On the side, Dong Tian Shu also observed the conversation with interest, eager to know the answer.

Dong Tian Di took a moment to compose himself before responding, "The matter was actually simpler than you think." He turned to Dong Rui, "During the gathering, did you notice anything suspicious between Liang and Chess Paragon?"

Dong Rui’s eyes narrowed slightly as she tried to recall every detail of that encounter. After a few breaths, she shook her head, "On the contrary, their interactions seemed ordinary. In fact, that was Liang’s first visit to Florai."

"First time?" Dong Tian Di’s eyes flickered with surprise, "Then that doesn’t make sense."

Suddenly, both Dong Rui and Tian Shu’s eyes widened in realization.

"You mean Chess Paragon intervened to help Liang?" Dong Rui couldn’t help but ask in astonishment.

Dong Tian Di nodded solemnly, confirming their suspicions.

Dong Rui’s mind raced, recalling a particular incident that had raised doubts in her mind earlier. "Maybe there’s something more to this," she said with a thoughtful expression.

"Liang’s actions were rather strange. We barely acquired the second place, with only a few seconds separating us from those who won. In fact, if not for him instigating a conflict with that woman at the crystal throne, we could have secured first place."

A chuckle escaped Tian Shu’s lips as he recalled the incident. "And you only remembered this now?"

"Hmph, what do you know? Liang’s actions are always somewhat mysterious." Dong Rui smiled wryly. "In fact, I regret bringing him to the clan."

"Regretting?" Dong Tian Di laughed heartily. "You have nothing to regret. On the contrary, it was an excellent decision. The Red Loutes incident severely damaged our prestige, and if not for Liang’s intervention, it would have escalated into a severe conflict that we would have been forced to resolve forcefully to restore our reputation."

Dong Rui’s expression eased slightly.

"But father, I noticed something else," Tian Shu interrupted suddenly.

The father and daughter looked at Tian Shu in surprise.

"Liang has made a breakthrough in the secret realm."

Dong Rui’s eyes flickered. "Yes, that’s expected. He should have." She nodded. "If I’m not mistaken, he must be at the half-step divine realm by now."

On the other hand, Dong Tian Di’s eyes narrowed slightly. Soon, surprise washed over him as he looked at Tian Shu. "You.. don’t tell me that he has reached the divine leve ?"

Tian Shu nodded. "Father, with my current rune abilities, I can’t be mistaken. He has formed a Divine Spark."

"What?!" Dong Rui’s eyes widened in shock. Liang had become a divine expert?

Meanwhile, Dong Tian Di couldn’t help but laugh loudly, "Good, good."

"It seems like I have greatly underestimated him," Dong Tian Di said, his eyes flickering thoughtfully. "Actually, this could be a great advantage for us."

Dong Tian Shu smiled knowingly, "Father, you no longer need to worry about Elder Wang. No matter who he chooses to send, I don’t think anyone will rival Brother Liang."

"Humph, that kid is cunning indeed. He probably has some ulterior motives," Dong Rui remarked.

"Father is absolutely right. He likely wants to keep his cultivation as a hidden card," Tian Shu added.

Listening to the conversation between the two men, Dong Rui couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow in confusion, though she chose not to inquire further.

At Liang’s residence,

"Brother Liang, I have already discovered the purpose of that compass you asked about." It didn’t take even a day before Elder Hue returned.

Liang wasn’t surprised. He had anticipated the elder’s swift response. "Well then, I’m listening."

Elder Hue’s expression turned serious. "This information is only known to the elders’ circle around Elder Wang. The patriarch wants to create a teleportation formation to the Devil Realm. The purpose of the compass is to select a suitable location for it, which has already been completed."

"A teleportation formation to the Devil Realm?" Liang couldn’t help but be inwardly surprised. Had the Dong Clan discovered the Heavenly Will Palace? Intriguing news, but he kept his curiosity hidden. "And where is the compass now, Elder Hue?"

Elder Hue smiled proudly as he retrieved a jade box from his robe and presented it to Liang.

Without a change in expression, Liang accepted and opened the jade box.

Soon, a knowing smile appeared on his face as he confirmed the Earth Spirit Compass within.

With a satisfied look, Liang stored the compass.

"It so happened that the elder who received it from the patriarch to search for the suitable location was a close acquaintance of mine. When I expressed my urgent need for it, he didn’t hesitate to give it to me."

Liang nodded. "Elder Hue has done a great job."

"By the way, why does Brother Liang need such a thing?" Elder Hue asked curiously.

Liang’s lips curved into a slight smile. "Elder Hue doesn’t need to concern yourself. It has nothing to do with the Dong Clan."

"Haha, Brother Liang thinks too much. That’s not what I meant." Elder Hue waved his hand dismissively, a sense of relief evident in his eyes.

Liang shook his head. "Since Elder Hue has said that, I’m relieved."

"If Brother Liang needs anything else, please don’t hesitate to ask for my assistance." Elder Hue chuckled before taking his leave.

Watching Elder Hue’s departure, Liang’s eyes flickered thoughtfully. "Should I eliminate him?"

But his lips soon curled into a knowing smile. "No, there is no benefit in doing so," he said, a glint appearing in his eyes. "He might even prove useful in the future."

"So, the Dong Clan intends to partake in this mess as well. This Heavenly Will Palace event is bound to be unprecedented."

With that, he closed his eyes, embarking on an internal reflection of his current situation.

His inner eyes gazed upon the center of his consciousness, where a golden spark glistened.

This was the Divine Spark, a symbol of entering the Divine Level.

Runic experts who formed a divine spark possessed the ability to ascend to the Upper Realm at any time without adverse consequences, an advantage that truly set the Runic System apart.

Most Divine experts are able to form only one divine spark.

Red Loutes was in fcat have one divine spark, but fortunately for Liang it was destroyed by the Kun Peng Ancestor or Liang wouldn’t have gotten the chance to kill her.

And that’s actually what has encouraged him to attack her, because his void sense at that time enabled him to do so.

With the Divine Spark formation all of his arary have gained additional enhancement, including the Quintessential Dragon.

Liang recon that now that the dragon alone is enough to kill a Divine experts with three divine sparks.

Well that’s just the arrays, Divine Level experts power aren’t centred around the arrays unlike the Runic Mystery Realm experts.

Instead the Divine Spark give them the ability to command the power of Origin corresponding to their Divine Rune nature.

Divine runes fall under four principal categories: Elemental, Ethereal, Cosmic, and Heavenly.

Elemental Sparks embody the forces of nature. Cultivators with an Elemental Divine Spark can command their respective elements in any form. Such individuals don’t just wield their elements; they *become* the element itself. Whether it’s fire, water, earth, or air, their very essence merges with the natural world, allowing them to manipulate these forces with unrivaled mastery.

It’s even said that an elemental spark could even outpower and elemental divine seal.

Ethereal delve into spiritual and abstract concepts, akin to the mystical Red Lotus of the Red Lotus Paragon. Though these runes are considered a tier above Elemental Runes, possessing an Ethereal Spark doesn’t inherently make a cultivator more powerful than one with an Elemental Spark. Some runes and essences, when fused, yield only an Elemental Spark due to their intrinsic properties. Ethereal Runes span a broader, more mystical spectrum, offering powers that transcend physical elements.

Cosmic Sparks intertwine with the higher-order forces such as void, time, and gravity. Their power eclipses that of the Elemental Sparks, tapping into the fundamental laws that govern the universe. Cultivators blessed with a Cosmic Spark can effortlessly manipulate these universal laws, bending reality itself to their will. The essence of these runes is inherently overwhelming, often rendering elemental and ethereal powers trivial in comparison.

Heavenly Sparks symbolize the pinnacle of divine power, connected to supreme concepts such as Reincarnation, Fate, and Destiny. These sparks are incredibly rare and challenging to obtain, representing the ultimate forces of existence.

Peak cultivators who possess a Heavenly Spark wield powers that can reshape destiny and traverse heaven and earth effortlessly. However, this power isn’t absolute, as each category of divine runes offers unique insights and capabilities.

The full manifestation of a Divine Spark’s power only occurs upon reaching the Chaos Resonation Realm.
