From Mortal Body to Immortality

#173 - Nine sword marks! White Emperor's phantom! White Emperor's praise!

In just an instant, Lu Sheng felt an extremely powerful pressure directly bearing down on him.

“Hmm? Is this the pressure Senior Brother Yi Jian was talking about? This level is probably ten times the gravity of the Five Spirit Stars!”

Lu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly. In just a breath, Lu Sheng adapted to this tenfold pressure.

For Lu Sheng, tenfold gravity was hardly anything.

However, in just a few seconds, the Sword Questioning Stone changed again.

Another sword mark emerged.

The pressure on Lu Sheng also increased directly to twenty times at that moment!

Then—

The third!

The fourth!

The fifth!

The sixth!

In just a few minutes, the Sword Questioning Stone was covered with six sword marks.

Originally, some Star River Academy students were unconvinced by Lu Sheng, but when they saw the six sword marks on the Sword Questioning Stone, their expressions gradually became serious.

“Six sword marks, and so quickly—”

“Six sword marks. Even in our Star River Academy, very few can reach this level. Lu Sheng's talent… is indeed impressive!”

“That's secondary. Six sword marks mean the pressure is almost 320 times the gravity. Look at Lu Sheng, he doesn't even flinch.”

“Hiss, if you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have noticed. Under the pressure of 320 times the gravity, Lu Sheng can still remain so calm. This guy… is a bit inhuman!”

Everyone looked at Lu Sheng next to the Sword Questioning Stone, expressing their surprise.

One student couldn't help but look at Yi Jian and asked, “Senior Brother Yi Jian, when you were at the Sword Questioning Stone, how many sword marks did you trigger?”

Faced with this person's inquiry, Yi Jian shook his head and said, “Back then, I only left six sword marks on this Sword Questioning Stone, but—even after leaving six sword marks, I only lasted a dozen minutes under this Sword Questioning Stone.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.

“It seems that Lu Sheng's talent and foundation are no weaker than Senior Brother Yi Jian. Now it depends on whether Lu Sheng's martial heart can be more firm than Senior Brother Yi Jian!”

Everyone couldn't help but say.

On the mountain peak, the Sword Questioning Stone emitted a gravity of 320 times, enveloping Lu Sheng. This gravity was not just simply from top to bottom, but enveloped Lu Sheng from all directions.

Under this level, the pressure to be endured was even greater.

However, there was no change on Lu Sheng's face, and he still sat calmly next to the Sword Questioning Stone.

Time passed little by little.

“Ten minutes! Lu Sheng has persisted for ten minutes under the six sword marks!”

Someone spoke slowly at this time, with a hint of surprise in his voice.

Yi Jian also stared solemnly at the location where Lu Sheng was.

Just as Yi Jian was about to exclaim, suddenly, the Sword Questioning Stone changed.

Buzz buzz buzz!!!

A series of slight humming sounds continued to come from the Sword Questioning Stone. Then everyone could clearly see that on the Sword Questioning Stone, the seventh sword mark slowly emerged.

“Hiss! It's actually the seventh sword mark!”

“Lu Sheng's talent and foundation are a bit too terrifying. If I remember correctly, the nine sixth-rank senior brothers and sisters of our Star River Academy, except for the eldest senior brother, all showed the talent of seven sword marks.”

“Doesn't this mean that Lu Sheng is already about the same level as those senior brothers and sisters?”

Everyone's expressions changed drastically at this moment.

If the previous six sword marks only made them feel that Lu Sheng's talent was good and could be compared to Yi Jian, the outstanding fifth-rank student of the Star River Academy,

But now, the seventh sword mark suddenly brought Lu Sheng to the level of those sixth-rank senior brothers and sisters!

“Lu Sheng—is indeed impressive!”

At this moment, some students of the Star River Academy finally admitted Lu Sheng's talent.

After all, seven sword marks can be regarded as a seed of genius in the Star River Academy in any era.

His status was exactly the same as when Lu Sheng won the first place in the first academy competition of the Life Academy!

At this moment, the sixth-rank senior brothers and sisters next to Zhang Chu also had a trace of surprise in their eyes when they looked at Lu Sheng. Obviously, they did not expect Lu Sheng to be no weaker than them in terms of talent and foundation.

If his heart towards the Dao is firm… A trace of solemnity appeared on their faces.

“Now it depends on Lu Sheng's heart towards the Dao. After the seventh sword mark, in addition to the pressure from the outside world, the Sword Questioning Stone will also generate a kind of psychological pressure. This pressure is the most difficult to persist in. I just don’t know how long Lu Sheng can last!”

A sixth-rank senior brother couldn't help but smile and said, but there was some gloating in his tone. After all, Yi Jian introduced the Sword Questioning Stone to Lu Sheng before. Yi Jian only made the Sword Questioning Stone produce six sword marks, so he didn't know that after the six sword marks—the Sword Questioning Stone would also generate psychological pressure from the inside.

And in the case of not knowing, facing the sudden psychological pressure, it is easy to make people collapse and unable to continue to persist.

Therefore, in their opinion, Lu Sheng may not be able to last too long in the face of the dual pressure of the outside world and psychology.

However, after Zhang Chu heard that person's words, he snorted coldly and stared at the person who spoke with cold eyes.

“When did my Star River Academy have to play these little tricks?”

The cold voice suddenly lowered the temperature of the surrounding space, causing the face of the sixth-rank senior brother who had just spoken to turn pale.

“Student knows his mistake!”

He quickly admitted his mistake, which made Zhang Chu withdraw his gaze and look back at the location where Lu Sheng was. There was a trace of worry in his eyes.

“Lu Sheng's talent is beyond doubt, but I didn't tell him in advance that there would be a mental test after the seventh sword mark. Will he—”

Just as Zhang Chu was worried, Lu Sheng was sitting next to the Sword Questioning Stone at this moment, closing his eyes. The pressure from all directions had reached a terrifying 640 times at this moment.

Even in Lu Sheng's mind, it seemed that there was a vague figure standing above the Star River, slowly emerging.

With the emergence of that vague figure, an extremely powerful sense of oppression instantly enveloped Lu Sheng's mind.

“Hmm? In addition to the external pressure, there is also the pressure from the soul?”

“That's a bit interesting!”

Lu Sheng's expression was calm, and he did not panic at all because of this sudden change. He just calmly raised his head and looked directly at the vague figure standing above the Star River.

He didn't know if Lu Sheng was mistaken, but he vaguely saw that the vague figure seemed to have a slight upturn at the corner of his mouth at this moment?

“Hmm? He's smiling?”

Lu Sheng was stunned. Then he saw that the vague figure took a step towards his location. Just one step seemed to cross the distance of thousands of planets.

At this moment, although the person's face was still blurred, he could see that the other person was wearing white clothes, and on the clothes, there were patterns of stars imprinted on the clothes.

Between raising his hands and feet, there was an energy fluctuation that made the entire Star River tremble.

At the same time, when Lu Sheng saw the appearance of this person's clothes, on the Sword Questioning Stone outside, the eighth sword mark also quietly emerged.

“What!! It's actually eight sword marks!!”

When the eighth sword mark appeared on the Sword Questioning Stone and was reflected in everyone's vision, at this moment, whether it was the students of the Star River Academy watching the show around, or the sixth-rank senior brothers and sisters standing behind Zhang Chu,

Their expressions underwent drastic changes.

Their eyes widened, staring intently at the Sword Inquiry Stone.

"Eight sword marks! If I remember correctly, in the past few hundred years of our Galaxy Academy, only Senior Brother has caused the Sword Inquiry Stone to display eight sword marks!"

"Hiss! Doesn't this mean that Lu Sheng's talent is almost comparable to Senior Brother's?"

"Good heavens, no wonder Lu Sheng was able to comprehend two Stellar Laws. It turns out his talent is enough to rival Senior Brother!"

"The Life Academy... they've truly struck gold!"

Everyone spoke up in succession.

"However, how long do you think Lu Sheng can last under the Sword Inquiry Stone with eight sword marks?"

Suddenly, someone slowly spoke, and everyone paused, looking towards Lu Sheng.

"If I remember correctly, Senior Brother lasted a full eight minutes after the Sword Inquiry Stone produced eight sword marks, which is enough to rank in the top twenty in the history of our Galaxy Academy."

"It's just that I don't know how long Lu Sheng can last. After all, after eight sword marks, the external pressure is manageable, but the psychological pressure... is much greater."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed again, carefully watching Lu Sheng beside the Sword Inquiry Stone.

In the void, Zhang Chu also slowly spoke at this moment: "Eight sword marks. Even back then, I only lasted nine minutes, just short of reaching ten minutes. The external pressure isn't the most important thing. What's important is that eight sword marks almost allow you to see the White Emperor's phantom."

"As a Galactic lifeform, even a wisp of the White Emperor's phantom is enough to instill fear in countless people. This Lu Sheng... how long can he last under eight sword marks?"

Zhang Chu's words caused the expressions of the sixth-grade senior brothers and sisters to become solemn.

The eldest senior brother next to him smiled honestly: "I think this junior brother Lu Sheng should be able to last for more than six minutes!"

Zhang Chu nodded slightly but didn't say anything, just quietly watching Lu Sheng beside the Sword Inquiry Stone.

At this moment, the white-clad figure in Lu Sheng's mind stood quietly before him. Just the gaze that the white-clad figure cast towards Lu Sheng made Lu Sheng's soul tremble uncontrollably.

"Who exactly is this person? Why does just a gaze cause my divine soul to tremble!"

Lu Sheng was horrified. He knew that after breaking through to the fifth grade, the divine soul had merged into the physical body, and Lu Sheng had cultivated the Five Elements Chaos Law to perfection.

His divine soul was even stronger than that of ordinary fifth-grade experts, not to mention the Five Elements Return to Void Law that Lu Sheng had created, which was also based on the Five Elements Chaos Law.

Under such circumstances, even some sixth-grade warriors' divine souls might not be comparable to Lu Sheng's.

Yet, such a powerful divine soul was trembling from just the other party's gaze.

"I know you are strong, but wanting me to bow my head..."

Lu Sheng's eyes lowered slightly, then suddenly raised his head, his gaze directly meeting the eyes of the white-clad figure before him.

"Absolutely impossible!!"

Lu Sheng shouted in his heart, forcibly making himself look directly at this person's gaze.

In an instant, Lu Sheng vaguely felt a loud roar explode in his mind, accompanied by bursts of stinging pain that spread throughout his brain.

Time passed, little by little.

In the blink of an eye, five minutes had passed. During these five minutes, Lu Sheng felt like he was living like years, and cold sweat had even begun to secrete on his forehead.

Under the external gravity of one thousand two hundred and eighty times, and with the oppressive force brought by the white-clad figure in his mind constantly putting pressure on Lu Sheng.

This level of pressure was enough to easily destroy most of the so-called pride of heaven!

However, in Lu Sheng's eyes, there was a hint of stubbornness. He stared intently ahead, not wanting to bow his head.

He didn't know how long had passed, but Lu Sheng saw that the white-clad figure's lips were slightly upturned at this moment.

He... smiled!

It was precisely with the emergence of this smile that, in the outside world.

A brand-new sword mark slowly emerged on the Sword Inquiry Stone at this moment.

The ninth sword mark!!

With the emergence of the ninth sword mark, the Sword Inquiry Stone instantly emitted a dazzling light, and circles of pure white light rippled out, sweeping across the entire Sword Inquiry Mountain.

The oppressive feeling between heaven and earth disappeared instantly at this moment. Lu Sheng was enveloped in white light,

as if he had been lying in a warm bathtub, with warm water massaging every inch of Lu Sheng's muscles.

This comfortable feeling made Lu Sheng utter a groan.

"The ninth sword mark!! This... how is this possible!!"

The instant the ninth sword mark appeared on the Sword Inquiry Stone, all the students of the Galaxy Academy were completely moved at this moment.

Even Zhang Chu and the eldest senior brother revealed a hint of horror on their faces.

"Teacher..."

The eldest senior brother looked at Zhang Chu, a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

Zhang Chu's expression was shocked. He understood the eldest senior brother's gaze.

It was only because since the creation of the Galaxy Academy and the White Emperor left the Sword Inquiry Stone, no one in the entire Galaxy University had ever been able to make the Sword Inquiry Stone display the ninth sword mark!

Even the most monstrous person in the history of the Galaxy Academy had only made the Sword Inquiry Stone display the eighth sword mark and lasted for half an hour.

But at this moment...

the nine sharp sword marks on the Sword Inquiry Stone were truly reflected in everyone's vision.

"Nine... nine sword marks..."

"Doesn't this mean that the historical record of our Galaxy Academy has been broken?"

"Didn't they say that the ninth sword mark doesn't exist? From the time the Sword Inquiry Stone was placed here until now, no one has ever been able to make the Sword Inquiry Stone manifest nine sword marks!"

The expressions of the students of the Galaxy Academy changed greatly at this moment. They stared intently at the Sword Inquiry Stone, at Lu Sheng beside the Sword Inquiry Stone.

And at this moment, a white figure quietly manifested in the white light.

The moment this figure appeared, Zhang Chu took a step forward, walked out of the void, and solemnly bowed to the white figure.

"Zhang Chu, the 17th mentor of the Galaxy Academy, pays respects to the White Emperor!"

With Zhang Chu's voice falling, a wave of shock instantly swept through everyone's hearts.

"What? It's actually the White Emperor? Before, they said that the Sword Inquiry Stone contained a wisp of the White Emperor's phantom, I thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect it to be true!"

"Hiss! Lu Sheng actually summoned the White Emperor's phantom from the Sword Inquiry Stone. This talent..."

,

Countless Galaxy Academy students were shaken at this moment.

However, they didn't have time to think too much and immediately bowed respectfully to the White Emperor's phantom.

"We pay respects to the White Emperor!"

The Galaxy Academy students' eyes were filled with respect and fanaticism as they looked at the White Emperor.

As students of the Galaxy Academy, they naturally had an extraordinary fanaticism for the White Emperor, the founder who created the Galaxy Academy.

The White Emperor's phantom stood quietly on the mountain peak, a smile on his lips, giving people a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze. The White Emperor's gaze fell on Lu Sheng, and at this moment, Lu Sheng also slowly opened his eyes, and the two's gazes collided instantly.

"So... the figure in my mind is the White Emperor?"

Lu Sheng felt somewhat enlightened.

And this time, the contact between the two's gazes did not bring any pressure to Lu Sheng, it was just an ordinary gathering of gazes.

The White Emperor smiled slightly at Lu Sheng and said: "Little fellow, very good!"

The White Emperor's voice echoed throughout the planet, and the Galaxy Academy students were shocked once again after hearing the White Emperor's words.

The White Emperor actually praised Lu Sheng?

Before everyone could recover, the White Emperor's phantom on the mountain peak had already slowly dissipated.
