The Way of The Dao

After leaving the space belonging to the Primordial Warrior sect, Ling Tian led both girls quietly, heading in a specific direction as he sensed traces of recent fighting waves in the distance.

Explosive waves of cultivation essence were scattered throughout the space, the result of a powerful battle.

The flying sword suddenly stopped, startling both girls.

"Big brother, what's wrong?"

Lang Qingzu looked at Ling Tian in confusion. Xuan Li nodded as her spirit sense spread out in the surroundings, thinking that Ling Tian might have noticed something. Her spirit sense had grown by far, reaching a few kilometers in a short time.bender

Ling Tian did not respond, he narrowed his eyes as he stared straight ahead in a specific direction without blinking. His spirit sense had already extended a long time ago, observing what lay ahead.

"Mysterious little realm?" Ling Tian whispered as he stared into the distance.

lightsΝοvel Several dozen kilometers away, countless cultivators were gathered. Approximately more than 100 cultivators were around what looked like a strange portal that exuded waves and spatial force.

No doubt this portal was the connection to a different dimension!

A mysterious realm somewhere else but close to the continent that contained unimaginable opportunities for everyone!

Although he didn't know what was on the other side, Ling Tian was certain that it was another small mysterious realm. The countless cultivators on the outskirts were in teams, while many of them were just observing and others had set up stalls for trading, wanting to buy or exchange the items or resources that the cultivators had obtained inside.

Unexpectedly there were a few cultivators in the Nascent Soul state. Most of them were between the Foundation Establishment state and the Golden Core.

"Looks like there's something interesting over there. Let's go at once." Ling Tian said, adding energy to the flying sword to fly faster but very stable.

Lang Qingzu and Xuan Li nodded. The safest place for them was to stand beside Ling Tian, so they did not want to move away from him or become separated, therefore, they also increased the speed on their own flying swords.

The arrival of the three attracted the gaze of almost everyone. Not only Ling Tian's perfect, flawless, gorgeous and handsome countenance caught the attention, but also the little beauties of both girls seeing that they were just little girls and dared to come to these dangerous places.

But strangeness and weirdness covered everyone when they could not see the cultivation bases of both girls. An old man stealthily cast out his spirit sense and the next moment he couldn't help but take a step back as he felt horror: the younger girl had a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivation level just like him, while he couldn't measure the other older girl's cultivation level!

This man took a cold breath and quickly withdrew his spirit sense, not daring to scan Ling Tian when he thought that this young man should be the senior brother of these girls, with a much more terrifying cultivation base. At such an age they already had these levels of cultivation, so their talent and ability are of true genius monsters while their background should not be simple, perhaps they belong to those top tier sects and holy lands in the north state!

The fact that no one could see Ling Tian's cultivation base made almost most of them frown, casting several spirit senses on him discreetly and silently, wanting to see if there were any artifacts that could hide his level or he had a very powerful secret technique to hide his power. Anyway this caused several cultivators with powerful cultivation levels and even most Nascent Soul states to keep an eye on Ling Tian, narrowing their gazes and further strengthening their guards as they saw that they couldn't see through him.

Although techniques and methods were launched in which the spirit senses would go unnoticed, Ling Tian still sensed all of them. But he didn't bother and walked towards a small stall that was near the entrance, but where there were no customers.

"Hey, old man, do you know what this place is called? Where does this portal lead to?"

Ling Tian asked the stall keeper who seemed to be sleeping. Xuan Li and Lang Qingzu walked close to Ling Tian, looking at their surroundings and noticing the stares they received. Both of them could feel strong and powerful pressures coming from some cultivators who were rivaling their cultivations.

On the shelf table were some low grade spiritual weapons, as well as low grade runes, talismans and pills. A small hidden formation protected the entire stall, while the aura silently collected, feeding the defense formation.

"Hm? Ah, that information requires at least about 500 middle grade spiritual crystals. If you don't have money don't bother."

The man in his 50s woke up and looked at Ling Tian for a few seconds before closing his eyes again and replying in an apathetic voice and not bothering to change his expression. He didn't even glance at Lang Qingzu and Xuan Li.

Ling Tian's expression didn't change. He could clearly see that this guy was at the Peak Stage of the Golden Core, but he was hiding his cultivation level and posing as a small cultivator at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

"Oh, that's so brave of you~" Ling Tian lifted the corner of his mouth. His jet black eyes flashed momentarily.

Barely a few seconds had passed when the 50-year-old man suddenly opened his eyes suddenly and took a deep breath. His breathing became irregular and exaggeratedly fast, beads of sweat rolled from his temples, soaking his clothes. His eyes looked all over the place and then at Ling Tian, regaining clarity in them.

"Wh-what does the senior want to know? This junior is willing to give all the information for free!" The man quickly cupped his fists together as he bowed to Ling Tian. His clothes were soaked with sweat but he didn't bother to wipe himself.

This action did not go unnoticed and attracted the stares of several curious onlookers around, with many of them already from before watching what Ling Tian was doing.

"I don't have to pay you to get some information?" Ling Tian asked with a confused little expression.

"No! No, no! Of course you don't! Senior is a noble and majestic person, how could he waste his money on a mere salesman man?" The man shook his head quickly several times, apologizing to Ling Tian sincerely.

"Hoo? I thought I had to pay. I was already preparing to hand over almost all my wealth." Ling Tian's expression changed and he let out a relieved sigh.

"No! How do you think? Senior doesn't have to worry!" The man kept shaking his head with a miserable smile, but inside he was unhappy and spewing curses.

How could this guy lose his wealth? A terrifying and monstrous powerhouse like him the least he would have to worry about would be money and riches!

Someone who could put him in an illusion for a long time without being able to get out and slowly torture him to the point where he felt the years passing was not someone he could afford to offend!

This young man's strength was undoubtedly beyond terror!

Not even a Nascent Soul State should be able to easily do what he did!

"So... can you tell me where this portal leads to? For how long has it appeared?" Ling Tian nodded and asked.

The man in his fifties took several deep breaths, trying to calm his breathing as he steadied his terrified heart. His mind tried to eliminate ideas of escape, realizing that although he might have a peak cultivation at the Golden Core stage, he couldn't easily escape from this guy who had a terrifying cultivation.

"This portal leads to a mysterious realm where you can find countless cultivation resources, as well as high-level weapons and materials that even those terrifying powerhouses of the Body Condensation stage and above would desire..."

The man glanced sideways at Ling Tian several times at the mention of the latter before continuing.

"This realm suddenly appeared about ten days ago approximately, when it is only supposed to appear every 300 years to a thousand years. The last time it appeared was almost 100 years ago, so it surprised everyone when it opened up again."

"Do you know what this mysterious realm is called?" Ling Tian nodded and immediately asked. As time passed, the changes that occurred when he broke the formation in the void became bigger and bigger.

The salesman man nodded and quickly said, "From what few things I know, it has had many names for thousands of years, but when surviving cultivators recount their experiences and detail what is inside, they always agreed on one point; those who managed to advance and reach inside or to the center of the small realm would find a mysterious but imposing pagoda with countless floors reaching up and covering the heavens, with many characters and patterns in place. Therefore, after discovering a part of its origin, this mysterious realm was called the Hongmeng Pagoda."
