The Way of The Dao

"He is my Master, your Grandmaster, so in short, he is the legendary and rumored Sect Ancestor that my brothers, sisters and I have been searching for a long time."

Deng Tianjin's words further shocked Wen Wencheng, Shi Yunfeng, Xu Linghu and the rest!

The Legendary Sect Supreme Ancestor really does exist!

Everyone's gazes fell on Ling Tian, becoming more filled with stupefaction and confusion... wasn't this rumored legendary sect ancestor too young and too handsome?

At this moment, the only ones who let out sighs of relief and joy were Xuan Li and Lang Qingzu as they watched Ling Tian. Although they completely believed in Ling Tian as their sect ancestor, there was still that little doubt in their hearts as Ling Tian had appeared out of nowhere, saving them from the others. But with the confirmation from one of their sect elders, Deng Tianjin, the small traces of doubt finally disappeared, wholeheartedly accepting and trusting Ling Tian as their sect supreme great ancestor.

And in the event that Ling Tian was not really the sect ancestor, the two of them would still be grateful to him for enabling them to obtain great cultivation resources and increase their strength greatly, becoming very strong in a short time, strong enough to be able to start defending themselves in this cultivation world where only strength matters. They even thought of interceding for Ling Tian if there were any misunderstandings.

Su Changqing watched in surprise as well, confirming Ling Tian's identity as the powerful and legendary supreme ancestor of the Beyond Above The Heaven Sect. Jun Zhuyun confirmed inwardly and assured herself that she should not give a bad impression or confront Ling Tian because of his great identity, while the other girls were also surprised, as they doubted that such a handsome and gorgeous young man was the ancestor of this friendly sect.

Shi Yunfeng looked stunned at Ling Tian and quickly shook his head, he walked over, cupped his fists and with a firm and respectful voice said, "My name is Shi Yunfeng, I am a disciple of my master Hao Zhentian, and I deeply apologize for disrespecting you, respected supreme ancestor! Forgive the ignorance and audacity of this grand disciple of yours!"

Being the beloved and respected Master of his own Master, Shi Yunfeng did not hesitate and apologized to Ling Tian, referring as his grand disciple due to the hierarchy being Hao Zhentian's disciple.

Shi Yunfeng's voice stunned and brought Wen Wencheng and the rest out of stupefaction, causing them to each one step forward to Ling Tian and cup their fists respectfully as they bowed as well, showing their utmost respect to Ling Tian.

"""Greetings, supreme ancestor!"""

At the same time, everyone spoke up and showed their greetings to Ling Tian.bender

"My name is Xu Linghu! And I am a disciple of Masters Gao Xue and Gao Yue!"

"My name is Sang Ge! And I am a disciple of Master Deng Tianjin!"

"My name is Zong Xia! And I am a disciple of Master Sun Xiang!"

"My name is Zishan Shu! And I am a disciple of Master Ying Chen!"

"My name is Du Cheng! And I am a disciple of Master Deng Tianjin too!"

They all bowed and saluted, looking with emotions and surprises at Ling Tian.

"My name is Wen Wencheng! And I am a disciple of Master Deng Tianjin… please forgive this junior's disrespect and ignorance in not recognizing you!"

Wen Wencheng bowed even more as he apologized to Ling Tian, realizing that he had really disrespected the true supreme ancestor of the sect, even though he really did not know who Ling Tian really was.

Ling Tian watched these young kids' behavior with interest, unable to find any sense of falsehood or hypocrisy.

"It's normal for you to have reacted in such a way to defend your master, so it's fine, don't worry." Ling Tian waved his hand calmly, and patted Wen Wencheng's shoulder upon seeing his anxious and guilty expression.

"Sect ancestor... thank you! This grand disciple will be more respectful in the future!" Wen Wencheng let out a relief in his heart upon seeing Ling Tian's calm expression. The least he wanted now was to make a bad impression on this legendary sect ancestor who had finally appeared before them for the first time.

"Now I see why Little Xuan and Little Lang are here..." Deng Tianjin let out a sigh and quickly asked Ling Tian, "Master, how come you are here? Have you been in this mysterious realm all this time? Or where did you go?"

Deng Tianjin had many questions upon seeing Ling Tian, especially knowing where his master had been all this time after he had to leave. Then, the thought about the legendary Immortal World came to Deng Tianjin's mind upon seeing Ling Tian, thinking if maybe he could have arrived at that place.

At this instant, everyone was silent. Xu Linghu, Shi Yunfeng and the others listened attentively with curious expressions to what this ancestor of their sect would say. After all, no one had seen this rumored ancestor since he had founded the sect.

"Where else do you think I've been? I told you that I would try to go to the immortal world and so I did, all this time I was in that world and even took in several disciples as well, which would be your junior brothers and junior sisters." Ling Tian laughed briefly as he saw the curiosity in Deng Tianjin and briefly explained, "By some chance of fate I fell into a small world of a lower plane of this universe, and on the way back I met and encountered many important people… I also met your brothers and sisters and so far you are the only one I have yet to meet."

Ling Tian patted Deng Tianjin's shoulder, finally letting out a small sigh of relief at finding the latter disciple and seeing that he was okay.

"You went to the immortal world? Does that legendary place really exist?!" Almost immediately, Jun Zhuyun exclaimed in shock when she heard Ling Tian.

Su Changqing beside her and the other women looked stunned at Ling Tian when they heard him say about the supposed immortal world, really existed that legendary place that has been talked about since ancient times but no one knew much about that world? Does it really exist?!

Shi Yunfeng and the others were dumbfounded as well. Even Xuan Li and Lang Qingzu were completely shocked to hear Ling Tian's words. This ancestor they had been together with for a considerable amount of time, they had not seen him all this time because he was in the legendary Immortal World?

"Yeap, there really is such a place." Ling Tian casually replied with a faint smile.

The formation that covered the world was destroyed by him, so most likely the immortal ascension call could be felt again and allow the cultivators at the top of the world to be able to feel their immortal heavenly tribulation in order to ascend to a higher plane, the legendary Immortal World. It would only be a matter of time before the news spread throughout the world.

Jun Zhuyun was silent, not knowing what else to say in response. If what this man had said was true, then the world would be shocked to learn that the legendary Immortal World really does exist!

"Then are you alright, Master? You have returned?" Deng Tianjin was silent for a few seconds before he laughed for a moment and asked, " "I have more junior brothers and sisters?" His expression showed some confusion and a bit of disbelief, still looking at Ling Tian without averting his gaze.

Deng Tianjin didn't care if the Immortal World really existed, if Ling Tian had said it, then it was true! The only thing that mattered most to Deng Tianjin was knowing that his Master whom he had missed was well and had returned!

"I have seen what you and your brothers and sisters have done all this time, so I am proud of you. All of them I have seen and they are well, only you were missing and now I can rest relieved to find you." Ling Tian rubbed Deng Tianjin's head, tousling his hair slightly before adding, "You are very fatigued and weak due to your attacks, you had better rest before we leave here, this place is very dangerous."

Ling Tian's spirit sense scanned the place and knew that it was one of many dimensions, and only they were here. Other presences of different cultivators were in different dimensions, which made Ling Tian's interest increase about the origin of the pagoda.

"Huh?" Deng Tianjin blinked and was quickly startled when he heard Ling Tian, his spirit sense tried to expand as he said, "Right! The spiritual beasts are endless and the other wave must be coming already! We have to go!"

At this moment, Deng Tianjin remembered where they were and that an infinite amount of fierce spirit beasts were constantly attacking them, so they had to get out of this place!

"It's okay, there's nothing to worry about. I placed a formation in the surroundings to interfere with the spiritual energy, this way they won't find us and stay away from us." Ling Tian waved his hand calmly and added, "For now, I need you to recover, as we will probably have to face something dangerous and I need you to help me protect the others."

Ling Tian walked over and rested his hand on Deng Tianjin's shoulder, causing a powerful aura to come out of him instantly.

Deng Tianjin was surprised to hear what Ling Tian said and even more so when he felt that the coercion he felt in him had disappeared, being able to show his full power again once he recovered.

The others were surprised to hear Ling Tian say that he had placed a formation, when none of them had seen anything and confirming it as they had not seen any spiritual beasts nearby. The surprise was taken to another level when they felt that the power in Deng Tianjin had risen briefly.

Ling Tian proceeded to remove the suppression seals from Shi Yunfeng and the others. In this small mysterious realm, his knowledge of the Dao of Space allowed him to temporarily interfere on the coercion and suppression seals on the others. Ling Tian interfered with the laws of space, so he could lift the restriction of the place by moving the seals of others temporarily by mobilizing the principles of space.

This meant that although Honmeng Pagoda was very powerful, its foundation and laws of its own were not very deep and powerful at the moment, which allowed Ling Tian to be able to interfere a little with the rules of the world momentarily.

Quickly understanding what Ling Tian had said, Deng Tianjin took some medicinal pills and concentrated on recovering. He understood that there would be a very powerful enemy that he alone might not be able to deal with, so he would have to help Ling Tian by not being a burden to him. The confidence and feeling of protection returned to Deng Tianjin once again as he saw Ling Tian, feeling that he was his shield protecting him from everyone, just as he did for him and his other brothers and sisters in the past, feeling security and trust when Ling Tian was with them.
