The Way of The Dao

Xuan Li and Lang Qingzu watched Ling Tian dumbfounded. Both girls could not help but take small step back, deliberately moving away from Ling Tian when they understood the gravity and importance of the situation.

The old woman continued to stare at Ling Tian, inwardly slightly surprised when she noticed the expressions of both girls, realizing that the two of them didn't seem to know anything about the identity of the young man in front of her and looked at herself with utmost indifference.

"What makes you think that? I don't even have a real cultivation base..." Ling Tian spoke casually. He removed part of the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures auras covering her body, concealing her and making her body look like a mere crippled mortal body.

The old woman's pupils shrank when she noticed this small detail and she quickly shook her head, exclaiming, "Impossible! Someone like you, with such strength and imposing manner couldn't possibly be a common mortal cultivator! Much less a mere mortal human who is crippled!"bender

"If you can't even believe that, then there's no point in me explaining." Ling Tian rolled his eyes slightly before once again covering his body with the aura of the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures. It's really a nuisance that most decided to meddle with him or try to assassinate him just because he didn't have a cultivation base and was crippled even though he had a high level of body refining.

"B-but..." The old woman couldn't help but shake her head, not wanting to believe what Ling Tian had said.

The true immortal couldn't still be a mere mortal who had his meridians and veins crippled, but still had terrifying strength and power as if he had an immortal cultivation base!

"That old man told me that this place would have a part of the royal inheritance, destined for the heir who would manage to obtain the sect lineage in that place, since the places were separated for various causes in the past." Ling Tian changed the subject and said calmly, still looking indifferently at the old woman.

The old woman struggled in her mind as various thoughts crossed in her, looking at Ling Tian several times while the feeling that he was the true immortal of the higher plane constantly arose. An imposing feeling full of majestic superiority emanated barely perceptibly from Ling Tian, but as a remnant spirit soul she could feel it much more.

This young man in his mid-20s was no mere mortal cultivator!

Ling Tian noticed the behavior of both girls and smiled wryly to himself. His hands reached out and patted both little heads affectionately and said, "Although one of them is the heir to your sect's lineage, the two of them will cultivate in this place for a while. Do you have a problem with this, little Li?"

Respectively speaking, the inheritance and all the resources that might exist in this place would belong exclusively to Xuan Li, so that she would cultivate faster and become stronger in a short time. Therefore, Ling Tian asked Xuan Li if she would have no problem sharing her resources destined for her with Lang Qingzu.

"Huh? Oh, y-yes! I have no problem with Zu'er also cultivating with me!"

Xuan Li stammered not knowing what to reply as her mind went blank for a moment, still being shocked at the realization of the possibility that Ling Tian really was a true immortal even though he had denied it. The strength he had shown all this time only seemed like the tip of the iceberg, especially when she saw that Ling Tian didn't seem to make any effort when attacking and showing himself to be infallible at all times.

But what did that old woman mean by saying that her sect ancestor was a mere common mortal who was crippled? Ling Tian was really crippled with his meridians and veins destroyed? That couldn't be true, could it?

When she understood Ling Tian's question, Xuan Li did not regret it and on the contrary, she hoped that Lang Qingzu could also cultivate and raise her cultivation.

Ling Tian frowned when he saw that the old woman was still standing in the same place, with the same expression full of confusion and denial. His spirit sense expanded and easily broke through all the formations in the place, encountering more than 50 formations in several seconds.

Ling Tian's arm moved and the space trembled briefly before the aura began to gather in different directions, also activating dozens of powerful and hidden formations instantly and creating a few passages. Ling Tian snapped his fingers and two portals larger than Lang Qingzu and Xuan Li appeared near them, emanating powerful spiritual auras.

"Go you two, I opened the formations so that you can cultivate and absorb all the spiritual energy in this place, I will take care of delivering the resources to you gradually. And also remember that there is no hurry to cultivate, concentrate on having a very solid and stable foundation before trying to break through to the next stage. The preferable thing to do is to focus on training and performing the exercises to temper and know your strengths as you cultivate."

Ling Tian patted both small heads briefly, encouraging both Xuan Li and Lang Qingzu to take several steps and enter the two small portals that had appeared and exuded great spiritual auras, enough to feel their cultivations increase slightly just by breathing.

""Yes, ancestor!""

Xuan Li and Lang Qingzu nodded seriously as they saw the confirmation and calmness on Ling Tian's face, even Lang Qingzu changed her manner of referring to Ling Tian this time due to the fact that there was one more presence. They both cast a few glances towards the old woman before walking towards the portals.

Approaching both portals, both girls curiously looked at the energy gate that exuded powerful spiritual auras before casting glances at Ling Tian, subsequently taking a few steps and entering these portals upon getting Ling Tian's confirmation.

Instantly, both Xuan Li and Lang Qingzu seemed to be teleported into another completely separate, empty space with nothing around them but fully concentrated spiritual energy. They quickly positioned themselves in lotus form and exercised their cultivation techniques, beginning to absorb and refine the spiritual aura surrounding each of them. The spiritual aura in their own spaces were established by Ling Tian, injecting enough spiritual aura for them to cultivate for a long time.

Ling Tian nodded slightly upon seeing the behavior of both girls and finally turned his attention to the old woman who had not stopped looking at him. However, the old woman's expression changed completely and only a solemn face full of tranquility but with a touch of respect could be found on her. She also did not object to Xuan Li and Lang Qingzu entering those portals and she even waved her hand and sent dozens of cultivation resources to each respectively.

"Only the true sect leader or the protector of the place could change and activate the formations in this space, in addition to being able to enter this dimension apart from the previous space. And although a formation supreme master could change and interfere with most formations, they would not be able to do what you have done." The old woman spoke calmly with a dignified expression, inwardly confirming Ling Tian's identity and having no more doubts. Her control over the place seemed to remain with her, but she was well aware that it was not true and that now the young man in front of her controlled everything around her.

Ling Tian's eyes remained calm, calm as if this old woman's words had not affected him.

"How do you know about the power of the Space Law?" Ling Tian asked indifferently for the second time.

lightsΝοvel The place was under his full control, so he was not worried about Xuan Li and Lang Qingzu.

The old woman looked at Ling Tian solemnly, quickly understanding a bit of this young man's personality type.

"Because only true immortals from the heavens, from a higher plane that is beyond the heavens can control the space in the world, creating disasters and terror with a single movement of their hands without the need to use formations." The old woman replied in a few words.

Ling Tian frowned slightly, could it be that the skill and ability to control space was easier than he thought? If so, he should have encountered opponents in the immortal realm who could control the laws of space, or at least space force.

Indeed, the old woman's next words confirmed his thoughts.

"It is said that not all immortals could control space, much less tear space as you did, only the most powerful among all immortals and who are actually considered true immortals and who are destined to become celestial deities can control space and thus the world." The old woman said.

"Have you seen them with your own eyes?" Ling Tian asked after a few seconds.

"Not really, although I have only seen one person who could have been a true immortal due to possessing a terrifying strength that was capable of shaking the entire continent of this world, my master told me that that individual still could not be considered a true immortal even though he was a bit stronger than her, and neither could he do what you did: control space at will and not by formations. She also told me that despite having broken the chains of mortality, she had not yet succeeded in becoming truly immortal."

The old woman's eyes wandered for a moment, recalling the scenes of the past. A trace of nostalgia appeared in her gaze before she took a deep breath and returned to her serious and dignified expression.

Ling Tian knew who this old woman was referring to: the leader of the first sect that ruled the south state in ancient times, the Primordial Warrior Princess.
