The Way of The Dao

Several days had passed since the girls had been cultivating in the <Celestial Spring Yin Lake>.

Ling Tian stopped looking around after a few days.

He was sure that the natural treasure would have to be at the bottom of the Lake itself, but he would have to figure out how to get inside without the mysterious force affecting him. His instincts began to express to him that his hunch was right.

But there was no record of any man being able to enter and be safe inside the lake, so he had been thinking of various ways to get in.

However, observing the levels of the lake according to the shore, Ling Tian realized that the <Celestial Spring Yin Lake> had been considerably reduced after all these days.

If the water level was lowered further, he could throw his spirit sense into scanning the bottom of the Lake, or he could even ask Yun Mengxin to do it for him, but not now, as he did not want to disturb her.

The next moment, a manifestation again arose in the Lake.

Mu Shuiruo managed to break the barrier and enter the Golden Core Stage as well. After that followed Long Yuyin, Tang Wanying and Zhang Xinya, almost as if they were waiting for one of them to finish her advance to start their own.

Ling Tian nodded in satisfaction at this.

All of them were already in the Golden Core Stage!

Soon after, Ling Tian noticed that Yun Mengxin opened her eyes and slowly stepped out of the lake, approaching him.

Dressing calmly, Yun Mengxin smiled tenderly at Ling Tian before saying, "The spiritual energy could not help me anymore, so it would not be much help to continue cultivating." She explained to him what she had felt at the Lake.

Ling Tian looked at Yun Mengxin with open eyes, wondering if it was just his thoughts because of his feelings for her or if she seemed to have become more beautiful, exuding an even greater elegance and nobility, a perfect beauty...

Shaking his head inside, he smiled and checked her level of cultivation.

"Are you half step into the Nascent Soul Stage?!" Ling Tian was surprised to feel that her cultivation was in the Peak Stage of the Golden Core.

Yun Mengxin nodded with a soft smile.

It seems that it would only take a while for her to understand and then enter the realm of the Nascent Soul, where she would face divine damnation for the first time and also begin to open her own consciousness sea.

He was amazed and immediately took gently the hand of Yun Mengxin, searching her entire body.

This is?

Ling Tian was even more surprised when he noticed that Yun Mengxin's meridians were a little wider and very solid, but above all they manifested a frozen surface, as if her whole body exuded a unique cold. Even her cells and every structure of her body seemed to be made of ice, so beautiful and perfect, as well as delicate and fine.

"Are you all right? Don't you feel any abnormality?" He asked her with some concern.

"Mhn, I don't feel strange, on the contrary, I feel much better." Yun Mengxin answered honestly, feeling also the minimal changes in her body.

She felt that she could mobilize all of her cultivation essence more easily through her meridians and that she also had a greater feeling of familiarity and affinity with water and especially ice.

Soon after, Lan Yin also opened her eyes and left the Lake. She quickly dressed with a blush evident on her tender cheeks.

"Do you feel any difference, Yinyin?" Ling Tian patted her head lovingly once she approached. Lan Yin also looked much prettier and more adorable, especially with her flushed face.

Lan Yin shook her head even with her blushing cheeks: "Mmm, Yinyin doesn't feel bad, I just felt uncomfortable continuing to cultivate." She showed a shy but extremely happy smile as she felt her Master's hand on her head.

Ling Tian smiled softly before scanning her body.

He, too, was surprised when he began to check the structure of her body.

Likewise, Lan Yin's meridians were wider and more solid, allowing her to have greater mobilization of her cultivation essence.

Even her meridians seemed almost transparent as if they did not exist!

Each of the cells and structures of Lan Yin's body manifested an explosive power within them, as if a devastating hurricane were present.

Lan Yin's affinity was clearly the air, due to her mutated spirit root which is the Wind.

And not only that, Lan Yin's cultivation had managed to enter the Middle Stage of the Golden Core!

It was not uncommon for her to still be behind Yun Mengxin, as when she began to cultivate she was in the Peak Stage of Chi Gathering like the other women, unlike Yun Mengxin who was already in the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

However, what mattered most about this mysterious Lake was that it improved the ability to cultivate for each of them, making it easier for the girls to cultivate more quickly and more likely to reach the higher realms of cultivation.

Ling Tian smiled happily for them.

Yun Mengxin and Lan Yin did not have to stabilize their cultivations as surprisingly the Lake itself helped them to stabilize their cultivations at an incredible speed.

"Okay Yinyin, now that you've even reached the Golden Core stage I'll teach you the first movement of the [99 Heavenly Swords], so you should learn the basics of the movements and remember what I taught you earlier when we trained so that you can learn the first strike. Then I will train with you so that you can understand your full strength." Ling Tian took out a jade plate and recorded on it everything related to executing the first Special Movement.

"En!" Lan Yin nodded and took the jade plate and then sat near them, studying the jade plate through her spirit sense as Ling Tian had instructed her.

"I think I have a related skill that also involves the Secret Ice Arts, but I don't know if you want to study another kind of movement." Ling Tian looked at Yun Mengxin.

Yun Mengxin thought about it for a few seconds before drawing her own sword and saying, "I feel that this sword can teach me something..." She looked at the sword in her hands, feeling the connection that connected with her soul, sensing as if there was something else that could be beneficial to her.

Badumph!

Badumph!

Ling Tian felt his heart pound with some ferocity when Yun Mengxin took out the <Pure Winter Frost Sword> and held it in her hands.

Again that faint feeling of nostalgia began to form in him as he continued to watch the sword, instantly remembering that he had felt exactly the same faint feeling when he had that strange feeling that night when he was in the sky with Yun Mengxin and lost himself in her beauty while being dominated by a feeling that was nostalgic, longing, and full of love at the same time.

Now that he remembered, that same feeling he had had for the first time when he had obtained that sword a long time ago!

But he thought he was delirious because he hadn't taken a good rest then, as he had been chased for a long time by other guys.

Shaking his head, Ling Tian felt these feelings instantly disappear, and when he laid his eyes on the peculiar sword again, these strange feelings no longer appeared.

"Then you will practice the Way of the Sword." Ling Tian commented when he understood that she wanted to follow her own path of the sword. He himself had learned the way of the sword, as well as other ways of various weapons.

This would be a [Sword Principle] because she will follow the Intention of the sword itself.

That Sword is Mysterious and Unique, so it is more likely that it had a spirit of its own and could bring great benefits and more to Yun Mengxin.

"Mhn." Yun Mengxin nodded to him with a soft smile. She wanted to test whether that strange feeling could benefit her by following the Intention of that sword that had a bond with her.

Ling Tian watched her for several seconds before saying, "But before you do anything, could you help me see what's inside the lake?"
