The Way of The Dao

"Ancestor, do you want to enter this place and see if you can obtain this expert's inheritance as well?"

After seeing everything that was going on, Xuan Li asked full of curiosity to Ling Tian, then showed a somewhat worried expression when she saw that many of the cultivators, especially those with terrifying and powerful auras, were suppressed by an invisible force, while the weaker ones were moving easily. There was probably a powerful formation preventing everyone from advancing.

Although almost everyone had moved quickly and advanced to reach the center of the ruins of this place, both Xuan Li and Lang Qingzu did not move, waiting for Ling Tian's decisions. Both girls thought that Ling Tian wanted to compete for the inheritance of the expert of this place.

"Me?" Ling Tian raised his eyebrows slightly and let out a small chuckle before replying, "This expert's inheritance is of no use to me, but it will be very beneficial to either of you two if you can succeed in passing the tests."

"Big brother do you want us to compete with the others for the inheritance of this place?" Lang Qingzu asked with an excited little smile.

If they managed to pass the trials of this place, didn't it mean that they could win treasures and wealth from this expert's inheritance, greatly increasing their cultivation levels?historical

"Ancestor, then can we go?"

Quickly understanding Ling Tian's thoughts, Xuan Li couldn't help but ask with excitement and anticipation as well. The thought that she can compete in a powerful expert's inheritance and increases her cultivation base also made her thrilled.

"That's fine. But remember to keep your minds as calm as you can." Ling Tian patted both little heads and added, "If you feel like you can't move one more step forward, take a deep breath and take a step back, calm your minds, meditate your thoughts, and try a different way forward. Do not worry about the stares of others, nor take into account their taunts or actions."

"Emn!"

"En!"

Lang Qingzu and Xuan Li nodded with happy smiles.

"Little Xuan Li, because of your cultivation level you may have a little more difficulty than little Lang Qingzu. But don't let this stop you. If you can understand your strength, your achievements will be great and extraordinary."

"Little Lang Qingzu, you have a lot of potential, if you manage to concentrate more, you can advance a lot. You can even have the same strength as your big sister."

Ling Tian said a few last words before both girls left, "And don't worry about anyone, I will protect you, so if you have any enlightenment or want to break through, you can do so at ease."

"Thank you, ancestor!" Xuan Li replied happily.

"Thank you very much, big brother!" Lang Qingzu smiled brightly.

Xuan Li took Lang Qingzu's little hand and they quickly began to move towards the ruins, beginning to attract several gazes on the two of them.

Few individuals remained outside, as they had decided not to advance while keeping an eye on their juniors or descendants. They could not help but watch Xuan Li and Lang Qingzu advance easily, and then see Ling Tian who calmly approached the front and stood there silently, watching both girls with a faint smile.

"How did that kid do it to advance so far?"

"Hey, do you know where that boy who is first is from? Why he can advance so much but we can't?"

"That kid must have a super talent for cultivation!"

The cultivators trapped inside the formation whispered and cast glances all around, with most of them observing the 16-year-old boy and feeling envious and jealous.

After advancing several meters, Xuan Li felt a suppression in her body, preventing her from advancing a few more steps before moving with great difficulty.

"Big Sister, are you all right?"

Lang Qingzu noticed this and she asked somewhat confused. She had no problem moving, but she could easily see that Xuan Li was having a hard time even breathing.

"I think this is my limit, Zu'er." Xuan Li took a deep breath, and remembering Ling Tian's words, she took a few steps back, breathing much better again.

The place where Xuan Li had stopped was at the same level where most of the cultivators belonging to the Chi Gathering state were. This also attracted different looks, especially from those who were of a considerably high level as they saw that this girl of about 15 years old advanced further than most of them.

"Zu'er, if you can move forward, move on and don't worry about me. But remember what the ancestor said, don't force yourself, but don't let your guard down either." Xuan Li shook her head and turned to look at Lang Qingzu.

"Mhmm, all right! Big sister, take care of yourself!"

Lang Qingzu hesitated for a few seconds before nodding her head and continuing to move forward.

Trying to move forward several times but to no avail, Xuan Li thought for a few moments before turning to look at Ling Tian. Ling Tian nodded slightly at her with a smile, causing Xuan Li to take a deep breath before sitting down cross-legged and beginning to cultivate.

Some of those who were close to Xuan Li and struggling to move forward noticed her action and stopped. After thinking about it for a few moments, some of them copied her action and sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.

However, most of them watched what Xuan Li and the others did before scoffing and trying to move forward. They all quickly realized that as long as they tried to keep moving forward, they could gradually move forward, even if it was just one or two steps after much effort.

The 16-year-old that Ling Tian had observed earlier finally stopped after advancing many meters and being the first to get ahead of everyone. He took a deep breath before stopping and closing his eyes slightly, gathering his aura slowly but without letting his guard down.

The pressure he felt in his body decreased significantly, quickly realizing the clue for this test.

"Hey, look, that little girl quickly made it to where we are."

"She's very small but she can withstand the pressure in this place... she must have a good talent for cultivation."

"Only those with good talent can advance, being worthy to receive the inheritance of this place."

"Shh! Don't look at her! That little girl is with that terrifying young grandmaster."

"Oops! It's okay! Let's not look at her anymore. That guy is really scary."

Hearing the whispers and murmurs of the others, the 16-year-old blinked dazedly for a moment before looking back. His pupils shrank in surprise as he noticed a girl younger than him quickly approaching him, overtaking the others with ease.

Lang Qingzu walked slowly, looking around and noticing the expressions filled with shock and surprise from the others, beginning to feel somewhat nervous and shy.

"Phew..."

Lang Qingzu let out a small sigh of exhaustion as she felt that she could no longer move any further, feeling a mysterious but powerful force covering her body and preventing her from moving any further.

"Big sister must have felt like this... mhmm?"

Lang Qingzu turned to look at Xuan Li before taking a deep breath and subsequently startled when she saw a young man of the same age as her big sister staring at her, but showing only surprise.

The distance of difference the two were standing was about 5 meters or so, being able to look at each other's faces without any problem.

The boy frowned at the sight of Lang Qingzu, before glancing sideways at Ling Tian and seeing that he was looking in the direction of both of them. His intuition was triggered much more, alarming him and expressing to him that if he didn't hurry he might miss and this little girl might win him.

Although he was barely half a step into building his foundation, he could sense that the true aura emanating from this little girl belonged to that of a genuine cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, a cultivation base greater than his own.

Lang Qingzu looked over with a bit of curiosity as she saw this other boy of the same age as Xuan Li. After a few seconds, she turned to look at Ling Tian and when she saw him nodding at her with a smile, Lang Qingzu smiled in relief and also sat down cross-legged, doing the same action as Xuan Li.

Her beloved master's teachings and words echoed in her mind, telling her that when she doesn't know what to do, she has to sit and concentrate, try to relax her mind and not worry too much, just like her big sister just did.

"She has a good talent..." The boy mumbled to himself before concentrating again to move faster.

The energy in his meridians began to flow gradually, filling his entire body with strength and power. The pressure on his body began to slowly weaken, breathing a little better as time passed.

The Chi in his body became thicker and more solid, becoming like a wild river that grew steadily and ran rapidly in his meridians, filling both his body and his dantian.

The key to this inheritance was the ability to make the Chi flow as fast as possible in the meridians!
