The Way of The Dao

"It feels a bit uncomfortable and suffocating the energy coming from that wall..."

Lang Qingzu focused her gaze on the huge wall in the center after glancing around, frowning as she felt an uncomfortable and nasty aura, as if she felt that behind that wall there was an enemy who wanted to kill her and kept staring at her.

"Is it killing intent?" Xuan Li tilted her head as she could only relate this aura to great killing intent.

But it's just that this killing intent seemed terrifying and horrible, very different from the killing intents she had encountered from enemies before, as if this killing intent in front of her was the only real one while the enemies' auras were of games and lies, killing auras that were worthless in the face of this killing intent.

"This killing intent probably belongs to a Body Condensation realm expert, which mixed with the other enemy auras and fed on them, becoming more powerful and intense as time passed, especially after that wall seemed to have been contaminated by the auras of those experts who were fighting nearby."

Ling Tian took another glance and could imagine the thunderous battle that was fought in this place in the past. Powerful experts who had superior strength clashed without discretion, spreading cultivation essences all around them and destroying the place they were in leaving only rubble and destruction. The huge wall was most likely contaminated by the killing auras and intentions of those experts, being the only thing that managed to remain standing and absorb a large amount of killing aura that did not dissipate over time.

The killing aura coming off this huge wall was a good way to strengthen the spirit sense when fighting and adapting to the killing intent.

"Why don't you perceive this killing intent for a while? This aura can help you temper your spirit sense." Ling Tian looked at both girls.

This killing intent that astonished everyone and they sought to temper themselves was useless to Ling Tian, he didn't even feel a slight wisp when the killing intent enveloped him, feeling that it was just a game made for children. True killing intent was something that this world had probably never even seen.

"Okay!"

"En!"

Xuan Li and Lang Qingzu nodded seriously and quickly looking for a place somewhat apart from the others so as not to disturb them. Both girls managed to advance several steps before stopping as they felt a terrifying energy suppress them, making it difficult to breathe as their bodies began to tremble slightly with fear and doubt.

Lang Qingzu and Xuan Li stopped and sat in lotus position, cultivating their techniques to deal with this killing intent and strengthen their spirits.

This undoubtedly brought the gaze of several cultivators as they saw that two young girls had managed to advance much further than most cultivators. Rumors and murmurs that these girls might belong to the most powerful top-tier sects and holy lands in the world quickly filled the place.

Ling Tian nodded slightly before looking at a man in his 30s standing near him, who was also looking at him suspiciously but without relaxing, keeping his guard up.

"Have you seen a group of young guys who have robes similar to the two girls who were with me and who were led by a man who had two swords hanging on his back?"

Ling Tian's figure instantly appeared a few meters away from the 30-year-old man when his voice had barely finished, instantly shocking him as he instinctively pulled out his spiritual weapon. His other companions were also startled at the sight of Ling Tian appearing and circulated their cultivation essences in anticipation of the possible enemy attack although they did not sense any aura from Ling Tian.

Ling Tian calmly looked at the 30-year-old man, glancing at his other teammates who were of different ages before turning his gaze back to him, waiting for him to answer his question.

"N-no, we haven't seen anyone in those similar clothes, also not a man with swords hanging on his back."bender

The man took a deep breath before bravely facing Ling Tian and answering in a slightly trembling voice. His hand still clenched tightly in silence on the hilt of his sword that was dangling from it, his guard active.

Ling Tian nodded slightly before calmly walking away, causing the group of this man to let out several sighs of relief as this terrifying young expert who had noticed them left.

"Uhm?"

Just as Ling Tian was about to gather information about Deng Tianjin and the others, his spiritual perception picked up a tiny trace of immortal force. However, Ling Tian still continued to walk around without moving too far away from Xuan Li and Lang Qingzu, as if he was observing his surroundings.

Ling Tian's spirit sense rapidly expanded in less than a split second, searching for any trace of the immortal force he sensed.

"Now I understand why there is a suppression below the Nascent Soul realm..."

After searching for a long time with his spirit sense, Ling Tian looked in a certain direction and whispered to himself.

The limitation that existed in this mysterious realm and suppressed cultivators to the peak of Golden Core stage were not simply because of the rules of this space like any other realm, but because of a giant formation all over the place that was complemented by many more formations and these were in harmony with the laws of heaven and earth and suppressed any cultivation base!

The soul spiritual force that could not be used was being slowly and imperceptibly absorbed through the spirit senses every time they were released, heading in a specific direction!

Ling Tian looked around and soon found two people who had a Nascent Soul realm cultivation base, but they were also suppressed like the others. The energies of their consciousness seas were being absorbed from both people imperceptibly and steadily without either of them noticing, slowly draining their spiritual forces.

"If this realm is being controlled by someone, his strength should be at the level of a true Immortal King... or at the very least he must have a very powerful immortal artifact."

Ling Tian's mind quickly began to formulate all his conjectures, coming to two feasible conclusions when thinking about the creation of this mysterious realm.

A powerful and great Immortal King would have the ability to be able to create a small mysterious space with some limited rules, the power one obtains upon reaching the immortal throne is a qualitative change, like the difference between heaven and earth, but not a true small world. Or if one could not reach this level, they could still achieve it by having some high-level immortal artifact that had the ability to partially mobilize the laws of space and time and create incomplete tiny worlds, but creating a tiny world with some of its own rules.

lightsΝοvel "It's just that the price to create these small worlds with their own rules is not something easy to compensate for, especially if they do not yet reach the immortal throne, much less the Supreme level where you begin to understand the laws... even an Immortal King would still have limitations and many repercussions in trying to create a small mysterious realm of this size, so in short it is impossible for those existences to create a small world, especially a small realm like this. I don't know if the identity behind this realm is still alive, if its cultivation base is intact or fallen, or if it has passed away."

Having reached Supremacy in the past, Ling Tian understood very well the complication of managing to create these small worlds, not even he at his peak state of Supremacy could create a perfect small mysterious realm with its own rules and laws such that it was a true stable small world and could accommodate human life while suppressing its cultivation, easily mobilizing the laws of space and time in its capacity. Therefore, this mysterious realm was most likely created by a powerful artifact of a very high grade most likely at the god level... or perhaps the existence behind it all had reached the level beyond Supremacy as well, a God level.

Ling Tian also had a small world in the immortal world, a rather spacious small pocket world the size of a normal small forest, and in which he could also house a number of less than 10 people without destroying it. Despite that, that kind of small pocket world were very coveted and powerful, although they were very limited and their internal rules and compositions very weak; but their function clearly was to be a storage space larger than that of the storage space rings, as well as to store almost all kinds of materials and stocks from the world up to human cultivators.

Ling Tian grasped the lines and energies that tried to absorb his soul spiritual force silently, letting his spirit sense flow freely to be absorbed by the forces of this world to see where they would take him.

Ling Tian's spirit sense remained intact, but how could everything seem normal when his spirit sense had been sublimated countless times and that he could see almost through everything under the godly level. The spiritual force of the Consciousness Sea split into another part, blending with the laws of space as he continued to observe his spirit sense from another perspective.

Then, Ling Tian could see how a small, thin, almost imperceptible line of his spirit sense began to flow in a certain direction, being steadily absorbed into what seemed to be the center of the mysterious realm.

"Whoever you are, I hope you have nothing to do with the formation behind the Heavenly Earth Continent or the guy who interrupted the ascension from the lower plane."

Ling Tian's gaze turned cold with a terrifying killing intent hidden in them, he still clearly remembered the presence that had interrupted the ascension of the small world in the lower plane and resulted in the separation of all of them. The existence that built the world-wide formation of the Heavenly Earth Continent was also not forgotten by Ling Tian, knowing that this existence was not simple at all.
