The Way of The Dao

"Ah!"

Zhang Xinya screamed when she saw her own body covered in dirt. All her skin was completely black. The stench was coming from herself. Her face turned completely red with shame.

Ling Tian knew that the dirt thrown out of her body was because he helped her increase her power, allowing her to ascend from the Fourth Stage to the Sixth Stage of Chi Gathering directly, one step away from entering the Seventh Stage. In the power of martial arts of this world, she was now a 3-star King rank.

That was the gain she made by letting Ling Tian help her heal her body.

But she didn't know that yet.

Due to the fact that his immortal essence made use of her meridians in her body, it allowed her to break down the barriers to the following minor stages, giving her more power.

Since he had checked the cold woman's body and her body, he realized that the techniques they used in this world, used only some meridians of their whole body, so they could absorb the energy of Heaven and Earth. But their limit would only be at most the Peak Stage of Chi Gathering. They would not be able to advance to the next realm.

Ling Tian had made many guesses, so he needed to confirm this by checking the meridians of other people who practiced martial arts.

She shyly looked up and found the young man's gaze in front of her. He was smiling quietly at her. There was no hint of mockery or displeasure in his eyes on his part.

But, still, she felt even more shame and shyness that he was watching her.

"D-don't look at me! T-turn around!"

Every woman would not want to look dirty and unkempt in front of a man, especially if he is the man she likes.

Ling Tian was amused by the scene. He remembered when he taught the path of cultivation to his two girls. That same reaction was shown to him. Nostalgia passed through his eyes, but he soon recovered.

He released his spiritual sense and became aware of various things around him.

Turning away from her, Ling Tian raised his hand and pointed to the side: "There is a river a few yards from here, so you can wash up. Don't worry, there's no demon beast around, so you can be safe."

Ling Tian took another set of clothes from his space ring and put it aside while saying, "Here is another set of clothes for you to wear later. I don't have clothes for a beautiful woman like you, so you'll have to put up with wearing my own clothes..."

Although Ling Tian had turned around, Zhang Xinya was too embarrassed. She wanted to dig a hole and hide in it So, the young man in front of her couldn't see her.

Zhang Xinya wanted to wash up quickly, so she wiped her hands and gently took the clothes that Ling Tian had left her and started to walk towards where he pointed, but then she remembered something and hesitated: "B-but..."

Ling Tian knew what was troubling her while turning his gaze in one direction and saying, "It's your friends who are in danger too, isn't it? Calm down, you can wash up calmly. I'll go immediately to help them."

Ling Tian then looked at her calmly while showing her a reassuring smile.

Zhang Xinya wanted to return at once to help her family, but her power was not enough and even more, in her current state, she was too ashamed to show herself.

Seeing the young man's smile and look, she felt that he conveyed security and tranquility, so she could not help but calm her nerves. She knew that no matter what happened, the young man could easily solve any problem. He wouldn't even frown if the sky fell.

Remembering her dirt and bad smell, Zhang Xinya blushed even more and quickly slipped away towards the river, like a small mouse frightened by the huge cat.

Ling Tian shook his head with a smile while he turned in the direction of the group facing the horde of demonic beasts.

Yes, he had noticed before that not far from the place, a heavy battle is going on.

"Huh?"

Ling Tian was preparing to fly directly to the site, when he noticed parts of an artifact all destroyed on the ground.

He knew it was the young woman's. She had a piece of a weapon in one of her hands. It looked like her weapon was the spear.

"Mmm, since I've helped you so much, it wouldn't hurt to give you something..."

Ling Tian searched his storage ring. He remembered he had some spiritual weapons inside.

Although most of his things were passed on to his disciple before he transported her out of danger, he still had some things inside that he did not have time to take out at that time.

He quickly found it and took it out.

This was a beautiful, long spear. It looked almost like a halberd. All along its surface, it had carved patterns of dancing phoenixes that surrounded the weapon, allowing its surface to reflect sunlight. The spearhead was so hard that it could pierce even the hardest metal. Its edge was so amazing that it could cut the metal in half without much effort. Even its shaft was the perfect size for a woman's small hands. It was certainly a spear suitable for women.

This spear was made of good materials. Although it could not be considered an immortal weapon, it was still too perfect for her.

The spear was a medium grade spiritual weapon. In the world of cultivation, it would even be madly sought after by cultivators in the Body Condensation realm. There is no need to say about this small world. Even though she can't extract the full potential of the spiritual weapon, she would still be practically invincible to others on this lower plane. Unless her opponent has great battle experience, or that person's cultivation is far superior to hers across several realms.

Ling Tian placed the spear on the tree where the girl was once leaning.

He released his spiritual sense to the place where the group was currently fighting.

Even though there were 3 older people in the Sixth Stage and 1 in the Fifth Stage of Chi Gathering protecting the young people, it seemed that they would not be able to hold out for long.

Although there were dozens of demon beasts from Stage 3 to Stage 5 of Chi Gathering, the biggest problem was the 4 demon beasts in the Sixth Stage that transmitted a pressure that hindered the elders of the group.

Soon, he also noticed other hooded people who were far from that group.

But what caught Ling Tian's attention was that this group seemed to be using some strange formation. They even wore some spiritual amulets in the direction of the other group.

Ling Tian would have lived in vain all his life and would have had to bang his head against the wall until he committed suicide if he did not know what that group of hooded men were doing.

He stepped on his sword and quickly flew toward the group of young men who were fighting the demonic beasts.

He would first help them get rid of the demon beasts and then capture those mysterious men.
