The Way of The Dao

* Purr, Purr, Purr. *

The little white fox continued to purr as she settled into Ling Tian's arms and he continued to caress her soft, beautiful white, fluffy fur.

However, at this point, Linqi's body began to vaguely disappear, as if a part of him were being erased.

"Senior, you..." Ling Tian stared at Linqi with shock.

Linqi shook his head: "My power is running out, so I will no longer be able to show my physical form." He took a deep breath when his body seemed to stabilize and the strange event no longer appeared in him.

"This dimension will soon cease to exist, so you must return." Linqi smiled carelessly at Ling Tian, expressing that he had to leave.

Linqi approached Ling Tian and extended his hand to his forehead.

Ling Tian did not move and let Linqi do what he was going to do.

Linqi directed his hand and touched Ling Tian's forehead with his index finger.

* Swoosh... *

A slight energy along with a slight flash seemed to enter Ling Tian's mind.

Ling Tian felt that a great deal of energy entered his Knowledge Sea. Precisely a huge package of information.

"This is all the information that you will require in the future when you set out to find the animal race." Linqi commented after removing his hand, "You may face some problems along the way, but I have left some of my aura with you and I will give you this as well."

Linqi took out a strange token and handed it to Ling Tian.

The token was made of wood and had some strange patterns engraved on one side, while on the other side it had the figure of a Qilin carved on it. That figure was the same as the one Linqi had previously transformed into.

"When you find the plane where our race resides, go to the Dragon clan and give this token to their leader. The leader will know what to do with it." Linqi assured Ling Tian what he would do once he found the animal plane.

Dragon Clan?!

Ling Tian was surprised to hear from Linqi himself that the dragon race existed, so the other types of animal races should exist as well!

Ling Tian quickly reviewed the information that Linqi had passed on to him and indeed found many things related to the Dragon race. He will be sure to check it out later calmly.

"This will serve you well in the future, too. Once you return to your world, refine this in your body. It is better if you do it in a place where you find great destructive energies." Linqi took out a small bottle of jade that seemed to contain a liquid inside and passed it to Ling Tian: "The information related to this I have also passed on to you, so you will know once you read the information packet I gave you."

Ling Tian kept the small bottle of jade.

"One last piece of advice." Linqi spoke again: "If you want to find the whereabouts of the world of our race, I advise you to learn more about the Space, so that you can find the plane of the animal race in this whole immense universe. You may have to return to your former peak, but I am sure that will not be necessary because of your ability. The place where you think it is most dangerous and horrible may be one of the best places to continue to advance and learn." Linqi assured Ling Tian as he tapped his shoulder, like a grandfather giving advice and telling his grandson about his experience.

Ling Tian nodded firmly. He quickly understood that if he wanted to learn more about the Space Principle, he had to develop his ability further, and what was the most appropriate place to develop his perception of Space itself?

The Void...

Ling Tian also hoped to develop more of his perception of Space, for now that he had learned to tear the space apart and enter the void, he would have to find a way to ascend and enter the higher plane.

Breaking the void would only allow him to enter and move into the entire lower plane, but he had to find a way to enter a higher plane.

The only way to quickly develop his abilities would be to stand in the void and unravel its mysteries.

"I will let you enter my Little World, as we have to travel in the void to return to my other world, so you will be safe." Ling Tian said to the little white fox in his arms as he continued to gently pat her entire soft little body.

The little white fox nodded her head as she continued to purr before disappearing from Ling Tian's arms.

Ling Tian saw into his Little World that resided in his Dantian and indeed found the little white fox in it, settling into a place.

"It is time." Linqi told Ling Tian.

Ling Tian reluctantly nodded. He was really grateful to Linqi.

Linqi had cleared up many of his doubts since he arrived; he was worthy of being the Celestial Qilin, a being who illuminated his path and advised him greatly.

In addition, Linqi had also given him a lot of information and shared his own information as well, explaining many things that even he was unaware of.

Ling Tian wanted to help Linqi get out of this place so he could thank him for all the advice that he had given him. Ling Tian could look for a peaceful and quiet place or world where Linqi would be comfortable.

Being locked inside such a place for thousands and hundreds of thousands of years, Ling Tian really didn't know how Linqi could stand it...

But now that Linqi had explained to him that he was part of this dimension, Ling Tian understood that he could not leave this place.

It seems that Linqi will wait for his end in this dimension...

Ling Tian felt sad and sorry for Linqi, but he knew there was a reason why things happen and perhaps this was the best thing for Linqi; the reward of finally being able to rest after an eternity alone and waiting by the legacy of their ancestors.

"Don't feel bad for me, maybe in the future we can meet again." Linqi smiled mysteriously, explaining nothing further.

Ling Tian tilted his head in surprise at this, but he nodded when he once again put his fists together in respect for Linqi for the last time: "This Junior is very grateful to you, Senior. I hope you can rest peacefully and that the heavens reward you as you deserve. I will look for ways to face the calamity and avoid future disaster." Ling Tian also bowed to him, showing that he really respected him and was deeply grateful to him.

Linqi smiled calmly as he patted Ling Tian's head, trying to tell him not to worry.

Ling Tian took a deep breath before directing his Spiritual Energy and Immortal Essence to one side, tearing the space and causing the Space of that small dimension to be altered by having the energy of the place sucked into the same crack and trying to close it.

With his experience of breaking the space and studying it for just over a year, Ling Tian could break the space a total of about five times with his current power before running out of energy.

That's how many times he could tear the space apart and move a great deal of distance from where he is. If he reduced his amount of power by opening a space crack, he would move a shorter distance, but he could tear the space a few more times.

The more his power returns by removing the layers of his Heavenly Seal, he can break the space several times more than now, and can also move a greater distance than before.

But Ling Tian knew that he was still inefficient in the Space Principle, so he had a lot to learn.

Ling Tian took one last look at Linqi before jumping into the gap and entering the vast void.

"By the way..."

Before the space crack closed and Ling Tian moved away from that space, Linqi spoke once more, which caused Ling Tian to turn to him at once.

"The people you are looking for and the people you thought you lost will appear in your life once again."

Linqi gave one last smile to Ling Tian.

* WOOSH! *

The crack finally closed.
