The Way of The Dao

"They succeeded in getting in!" Su Changqing frowned as a last group of cultivators entered through the passageway before it closed.

The next moment, the barrier around the entire pagoda trembled slightly as it quickly began to glow before coming to a complete stop. A more powerful and solid barrier had appeared around the pagoda again.

The barrier surrounded the entire pagoda, enclosing it in a circle while they were hundreds of meters apart.

* Roar! *

* Grrrr! *

The spirit beasts threw themselves against this new barrier, roaring fiercely in despair when they saw that now they couldn't even observe any ripples above the barrier.

"Looks like we're late..." Jun Zhuyun said somewhat disappointed. Gaining entry into the Hongmeng Pagoda would clearly offer unimaginable rewards.

The women looked somewhat disappointed and sad as well, realizing that they had missed out on something.

However, only Xuan Li and Lang Qingzu could not help but turn to look at Ling Tian, remembering how it was that this sect ancestor could break through the defenses and formations of the previous locations when they obtained the Primordial Warrior Sect's inheritance.

The remaining cultivators seeing that a new, more powerful barrier had been created and they could no longer access the pagoda began to leave quickly. If they couldn't enter the pagoda, perhaps they could find other treasures and cultivation resources if they continued to explore the entire realm before they were expelled.

"Wait here..."

Ling Tian's voice had barely fallen when he had already disappeared, startling Jun Zhuyun and the other women as they could not sense his movements.

Barely about 5 minutes would pass when Ling Tian silently appeared again.

"Apparently there were some guys who saw little Tianjin accompanied by some sect disciples enter the pagoda a day ago." Ling Tian commented. After finding some people he asked around and gathered the information he got.

"Elder Deng entered the pagoda?" Xuan Li asked excitedly, and Lang Qingzu excitedly beside her looked at Ling Tian expectantly.

"Are you sure, senior?" Jun Zhuyun asked somewhat doubtfully and she immediately added, "But now that a new barrier has stabilized we can no longer enter."

The barrier around the pagoda had been strengthened, and now they could not enter even if they wanted to force their way in.

"Follow me, I think I have a way to enter..." Ling Tian stepped on the flying sword and headed in front of the barrier, away from most of the half-demonic beasts.

Ling Tian had a way to get in? The women quickly hurried after Ling Tian as they came out of their daze.

Ling Tian looked at the barrier in front of him, raised his arm and with his hand faintly touched the barrier, feeling the powerful defensive force radiating from it.

No power that was not inferior to the Great Ascension state could break it.

"Ancestor... do you have a one way to enter?"

Lang Qingzu approached Ling Tian and asked expectantly, remembering what had happened several days ago when Ling Tian searched for them and helped them cultivate with the resources of that top-tier ancient sect. Xuan Li at her side also looked at Ling Tian with anticipation, wondering if he would make that strange move again.

Su Changqing and the other women looked at Ling Tian curiously, with many thoughts in their minds and about what he would do. Maybe Ling Tian wanted to break the barrier?

"I don't have it..."

Ling Tian faintly shook his head at the question as he patted Lang Qingzu's head. His comment made Jun Zhuyun and the others nod without a problem, after all, if Hongmeng Pagoda could be easily entered then everyone would have known about it for a long time.

"I don't have one way, I have three ways to get in..."

But the next moment, Ling Tian added casually at once, stunning the women as they listened to him.

Ling Tian frowned as he thought; he had three ways in, but he didn't want to alert these presences behind the entire mysterious realm right now until he knew what was going on. If one of them was related to the barrier he destroyed in the void, then it would be something very serious.

The first way Ling Tian had to enter was to break the whole array of the formation that held the barrier. This formation was of a low level immortal level, so Ling Tian could easily break it within a considerable time. But this result would attract all those beasts and they would attack him, and also try to enter the pagoda; with Deng Tianjin and the other sect disciples it would be very dangerous. In addition, the hidden presences of this realm would also notice the action and watch his every action.

The second way to be able to enter would be to open a space rift, connecting to the inner dimension of the pagoda without entering the void. However, this would also draw the attention of those presences as it would alter the laws and principles of this mysterious realm, creating many spatial fluctuations in order to tear through space. Ling Tian also has a bit of difficulty in doing this, as normally when tearing space he enters directly into the void, so he would have to exert a bit more force and concentration like the last time he managed to enter the dimension where the adult woman's spirit soul was and handed over the other part of the inheritance to Xuan Li.

And the last way to enter would have to be by mobilizing space: direct teleportation. Ling Tian could try to enter inside the dimension in the same way he uses to teleport within a certain range without much spatial fluctuation. However, taking people with him would be more complicated and difficult to do, especially not to let any of them be torn apart by space by committing an accident in this mysterious realm where space was totally restricted.

Ling Tian might not care about the presences behind the pagoda and this whole mysterious realm, but he was not alone and there were disciples and acquaintances in this place. If the pagoda owner was not friendly, the situation would be worse.bender

"Get together around me, take my arms or cling to the clothes on my body and do not let it go."

After opting for the third option and pondering it, Ling Tian turned to look at Jun Zhuyun and the other girls. He could not afford to go in alone and leave them out here, especially Xuan Li and Lang Qingzu who were his grand female disciples.

Lang Qingzu quickly took Ling Tian's hand with a happy smile, as if she had won the most important place. Xuan Li followed her in the same way and held on to the same arm of Ling Tian that Lang Qingzu had chosen, she held on to Ling Tian and also secured Lang Qingzu more tightly with her other arm.

Jun Zhuyun, Su Changqing, Zhu Rouwei, Wu Xuemin, Fang Lian'er and Ying Su took a while to react and confusedly approached Ling Tian, reaching out their hands and grabbing onto him. Jun Zhuyun put her hand on Ling Tian's other shoulder, and with her other arm tried to secure the other girls also clinging to her as they grabbed the clothes on Ling Tian's back.

Su Changqing looked at Ling Tian's free hand and after thinking for a few seconds she took it firmly after noticing that both Lang Qingzu and Xuan Li were watching them. Su Changqing took a deep breath and tightened her grip on his hand, while the other grabbed Ying Su and held her with it as well so that nothing would happen to her.

Ling Tian was in the middle and the 8 women were around her, their hands clinging to Ling Tian's arms and clothes.

"Relax your bodies as well and retract your auras, let my aura cover you completely and don't move away from me... you'd better close your eyes and open them when I tell you, otherwise you'll feel very dizzy and nauseous once I'm done. Likewise you will feel like you will be floating strangely upside down or falling off a cliff, but nothing will happen to you. Whatever you do, don't let go of me, got it?"

Ling Tian explained seriously without giving any room for doubt, strengthening his voice at the last.

The girls nodded their heads and immediately kept their auras in their bodies, closed their eyes and tightened their hands on Ling Tian's clothes and body. However, they couldn't help but slightly open their eyes waiting to see what Ling Tian would do.

There were still a few small groups of cultivators left who watched what Ling Tian and the others were doing before deciding to leave.

Ling Tian took a deep breath and increased his concentration on space perception, his spirit sense caught the space principles in front of him and around them. The space principle moved slowly but smoothly, without forcing the change in space.

Ling Tian's body seemed to become blurry for a moment before the bodies of Xuan Li, Lang Qingzu and the other girls also became blurry, beginning to feel like they were floating in the air.

Su Changqing, Xuan Li, Lang Qingzu and the other women could not help but be startled and confused as they saw their vision seem to become blurry before they noticed that they were approaching the huge pagoda quickly once they realized that they were a few inches in front of the pagoda itself to subsequently see everything blurry and dark.

The feeling of floating in the air was increasing rapidly, but no one took notice of it as they concentrated on their eyes to look at what was happening before they closed their eyes as they felt the dizziness evident.

* Thud~ *

When they finally felt their feet touch the ground, Su Changqing and the others opened their eyes, surprised when they noticed that they were in a strange forest!
