453 Senior Brother Chen Qing (2/2)
”Dark Child, this is an identity and a symbol!
”Only when one becomes a Dark Child could he venture out alone and be qualified to ferry the souls of the dead… There are two ways to become a Dark Child. One is what you and I did, which is to become a disciple under the nine Grand Elders. By doing so, you'll automatically be seen as a Dark Child!
”But that is only a reflection of your status… it doesn't mean that you're a real Dark Child. To become a real Dark Child, there is only one way, the second way. That is… to get your name on the Dark Child Monument!
”You can't do it yourself. Only a Grand Elder has the right to put a name there. After that, whether the name remains on the monument is yet another important step. This would involve the approval and recognition by the Heavenly Dao!
”Baole, if the Heavenly Dao acknowledges you, your name will remain on the stone monument. If it doesn't, the Dark Child Monument will wipe it off after our master has carved it into the monument!”
”As for my name… our master will carve it into the monument after this Dark Child Monument is built. I believe that the Heavenly Dao will recognize and approve of me. That's why you have to buck up, Baole!” There was a fierce light shining in Chen Qing's eyes. At this moment, he wasn't the youth that had been painting Corpse Faces with Wang Baole. He was one of the disciples of Ming Kunzi, whose cultivation might not be the highest, but whose natural gifts and talents were incomparable!
After regaining his memories, Wang Baole remembered that Chen Qing's gifts were so great that they were beyond this world. The other Grand Elders in the Dark Sect had said that he had surpassed all limits. In fact, he might even become the tenth Grand Elder many years later!

His cultivation was also extremely powerful currently. In Wang Baole's memories, the Dark Sect categorized the levels of cultivation into five great realms: the Spirit Immortal realm, the Planet realm, the Eternal Star realm, the Galaxy realm, and the Universe realm!
Each great realm was further split into different stages. For example, the first Spirit Immortal realm was divided into the Foundation Establishment realm, the Core Formation realm, the Nascent Soul realm, the Soul Conduit realm, and finally, the Spirit Immortal realm!
The Planet realm, the Eternal Star realm, and the Galaxy realm worked the same way. The final Universe realm was the only exception. It was mysterious and unfathomable. At present, only the ninth Grand Elder had reached the Universe realm!
The other Grand Elders were all at the perfected Galaxy realm. The next step towards the Universe realm was extremely challenging.
Chen Qing himself wasn't yet three hundred years old, but his cultivation had progressed at an astonishing rate. He had a breakthrough six months ago, advancing from the final stage in the Planet realm into the first stage of the Eternal Star realm!
Such natural talent could even be deemed as a gift from the heavens!
Wang Baole looked at his overperforming senior brother, who had stolen all the limelight, and sighed secretly. He felt such immense stress. As his memories returned to him, he began to remember what freaks his senior brothers and senior sisters were. Each one of them was worse than the next. The strongest of them was already at the Galaxy realm.
The weakest of them was already at the Planet realm… he was the only one still at the perfected Foundation Establishment realm within the Spirit Immortal realm. He hadn't yet even reached the Core Formation realm…
While Wang Baole was lamenting inwardly, Chen Qing, who had been bursting with passionate, heartfelt emotion, seemed to have suddenly remembered something. He looked around, then lowered his head and grabbed hold of Wang Baole's shoulder. He had a mysterious look on his face as he whispered, ”Baole, do you know whose soul I met when I drew the Corpse Face yesterday?”
Wang Baole eyed his senior brother, who was trying to act mysterious but had a perverted look on his face. He rolled his eyes.
”Senior Brother, I've regained a significant portion of my memories. You don't have to scare me…”
”When the living perishes, unless there are massive deaths that might have been a result of the destruction of a planet, we of the Dark Sect are often not required to ferry those souls personally. The Heavenly Dao would lead and guide them to the nearest Rebirth Abyss of the Dark Sect, and the souls will enter our Corpse Face Mirrors. We will then paint the faces for their next lives…
”When we are painting the Corpse Faces, the will of the Heavenly Dao will descend upon us and let us know what the soul will look like in their next life. We can paint their faces, but we won't be able to know this soul's past life or how they looked in that past life. That's why you won't be able to recognize anyone, no matter who appears in the mirror!”
Chen Qing stared. He looked around, then leaned closer to Wang Baole and whispered.
”Of course, I'm aware that we can't see the past life of the dead soul, but I can see its next life. Yesterday… I met a soul and saw her next life. She's going to be my Dao partner! She'll accompany me by my side. We will love each other for the rest of our lives, until the end of time. We'll even have three children…”
”That's why I got excited. I unleashed a hundred and twenty percent of my ability and painted her into a beauty. Both her figure and her face aligned perfectly with my aesthetics!” At that, Chen Qing smiled happily. He had a look of anticipation on his face.
”You mean you can do that!” Wang Baole was stunned. He found that incredulous.
