The Way of The Dao

"My Tian'er! Come with me!"

"Yes, Mommy!"

"Let's go to the garden, we have to get the medicinal herbs to keep your body very healthy!"

"Umm! But... Once I'm healed, will I be able to cultivate like you and my dad?"

"Of course, my baby! You'll become very strong!"

"I want to be very strong to protect you, Mom!"

"My sweetie, of course you'll be much stronger than me! You will be the most powerful man in the world!"

"I won't let you down, Mom! I'll do my best to be very strong! I promise you that!"

"Hehe, I know it, my little Tian'er. You are my pride and my life, I love you very much my little boy."

"And I love you very much too, Mommy!"

"Hehe, my beloved boy. Look! Your dad is here! Let's go see him!"

"Um!"

--------------------------------------------------------------

Hm?

Ling Tian slowly opened his eyes while vague and blurry memories filled his mind. Vision gradually recovered.

What was that?

Ling Tian frowned when he could not visualize these images correctly, without being able to distinguish these shadows. It was like a stain that blurred his eyes, preventing him from seeing well what was in front of him.

Trying to remember, he came across what would be a small transparent and thin barrier that with a single movement he could break, but no matter how hard he tried to remember and try to immerse himself again in that feeling, he couldn't do it.

He thought back to everything he dreamed of. Clearly those were not his memories!

Mommy?

But what struck him was that the feeling when he said that word was full of love and joy, but, that dim and opaque figure that held him and carried him in her arms, radiated a feeling of longing.

It could even be felt that it radiated a strong feeling of deep love!

Almost at the level or even more than he had towards his own foster mother!

He had no similar memory of that conversion with his adoptive mother, so it should not be from his memories, but...

Mother?

Ling Tian was stunned at the thought of this probability.

Could it be that those memories were from before he lost his memory?

He was found when he was eight years old in that small world and could not remember anything about his life, nothing!

If these were his memories before he was eight, then it could make sense.

That would explain why he would have such a deep and immeasurable feeling!

That longing shadow had to be his mother!

Besides, Ling Tian didn't know if these memories could be accurate since he recalled that his little self had said that he could not cultivate in a few words...

He couldn't cultivate when he was a child?

Had he been sick or suffering from any problems?

But now he had a cultivation where he had reached the top of the Immortal World...

Ling Tian closed his eyes soon after, meditating and realizing that to torment himself at this moment would not do any good.

'After thousands of years, this is the first time I have this kind of memory... I think it is probably due to the agitation of my soul...' Ling Tian thought to himself, without moving an inch to avoid waking up Yun Mengxin who was beside him, sleeping peacefully.

Ling Tian quickly realized that these memories must have manifested themselves after his soul had been specifically affected.

The first time he began to remember that shadow that was probably his mother was when he looked at the Tang family's photos and paintings.

At that moment, a demon of the heart formed in him and attacked his soul as well and even almost lifted a layer of the Heavenly Seal!

But that was a minor thing and only managed to manifest a small shadow that vanished after a few seconds.

And now, after the strange event with Yun Mengxin and the unthinkable use of his Spiritual Energy, caused his spirit and soul to be affected primarily.

The direct intervention of those mysterious spheres directly affected his soul, so the force this time was direct and powerful, making him remember something of his lost memories.

The Soul is so mysterious and profound that it contains innumerable unknowns and no one could understand it even a little.

Ling Tian smiled wryly that all these events he never thought would happen, happened in this small world, in a lower plane where he had fallen when he was about to die.

"Mhmmn..."

At this point, Yun Mengxin's lazy yawn was slightly heard.

Her long, exquisite eyelashes trembled as she slowly opened her eyes. Her soft white right arm embracing Ling Tian's body moved a little, feeling the skin with her thin fingers.

Ling Tian smiled with a subtle touch of chuckle as he watched Yun Mengxin's sleeping expression.

Only when both were alone or in physical intimacy, Yun Mengxin would have no defense and would have such somewhat amusing behaviors.

Yun Mengxin finally opened her eyes and looked up, meeting Ling Tian's bright eyes.

Ling Tian smiled lovingly as he saw this wonderful, beautiful, perfect woman who would be in his life forever.

Yun Mengxin smiled even more as she tightened her arm around Ling Tian's chest. Her beautiful, heavenly smile was so bright with light, expressing obvious love and happiness.

Ling Tian fell more and more in love with this beautiful woman. He could not help but kiss her forehead with affection, conveying all his feelings.

Yun Mengxin smiled lovingly and closed her eyes, feeling the love that this man who had her heart and soul transmitted to her.

Although the two were completely naked and hugged each other, neither felt uncomfortable or strange.

The two remained embraced for a long time, wishing that they could live peacefully and very happily.

Both did not need to talk or express themselves; their hearts felt instantly what the other thought and felt, filling them with love and happiness.

Both Ling Tian and Yun Mengxin knew instantly what each had experienced when Ling Tian had left the small world.

This kind of mysterious but wonderful connection and telepathy between the two was so amazing.

"Would you believe me if I told you that I feel as if I had met you in my past life?"

A short time later, Yun Mengxin whispered softly, adding a little more strength to the arm that crossed Ling Tian's chest as she breathed in the scent of her man, feeling happy and secure. She let herself fall completely into Ling Tian's chest.

Ling Tian opened his eyes slightly and looked up at the strange sky: "I feel the same way..."

At the moment when they were so out of control and seeking to feel each other, they both felt as if something had possessed them, transmitting strong and deep feelings as they sought to love each other more. It was as if their past lives had awakened slightly and they connected even more to each other.

"I must have the blessing of heaven to be able to have such a beautiful and perfect woman as my wife in this life as in the past..." Ling Tian spoke soon after, sweetening Yun Mengxin's heart.

Yun Mengxin could not describe in words the love she had for Ling Tian.

Both were sure that these earlier feelings felt so familiar and even more when they were observed each other!

Looking at them as if they were really loves and souls that had been destined to be together from the beginning.

Ling Tian felt as if he had known Yun Mengxin for a long but long time, curiously in his past life and that she was his woman too.

Yun Mengxin also felt the same way.

"My Ice Phoenix." Ling Tian whispered again, remembering for the first time that this unique and longing feeling was coming from his inner self.

Yun Mengxin looked up and looked directly at Ling Tian, as if looking through his soul and revealing the innermost secrets.

"My King." Yun Mengxin whispered slightly with a mysterious smile.

Ling Tian raised an eyebrow at this.

My King?

In the depths of his being he felt a vague familiar sensation, as if he had heard this before. It was as if something deep within him was unleashed and resonated with the words of Yun Mengxin.

However, now he could not remember anything related to that.

Shaking his head, Ling Tian would wait for time to pass and see if perhaps memories would come to his mind.

There were records that sometimes people could get memories of their past lives, but there would not be many.

Yun Mengxin relaxed again on Ling Tian's chest, letting their hearts resonate and beat at the same rhythm.

She felt so happy and peaceful, full of joy and love.

A long time later, both of them got dressed and couldn't help but help each other, enjoying the moment and the love they shared.

"It seems you now have a connection with the race of the phoenix..." Ling Tian smiled surprisingly as he remembered what he and Yun Mengxin had experienced in these days.

* Swoosh... *

Yun Mengxin smiled and nodded, as a majestic breath originated around her.

* Cry! *

The cry of a powerful and majestic being was heard in the surroundings when a figure took shape and flew around both of them.

This mysterious and amazing figure with elegance and nobility flew a couple of times before it gently flapped its wings and landed on Yun Mengxin's shoulder.

A Phoenix!

And not just any Phoenix.

It was an Ice Phoenix!

The Legendary Ice Phoenix!

The gorgeous, yet elegant, blue divine plumage that looked like beautiful ice crystals shining in the light covered the entire body of the Phoenix. Its wings fluttered gracefully as it exuded a powerful feeling.

This Ice Phoenix exuded a breath of elegance and majesty just by standing on Yun Mengxin's shoulder.

Needless to say, it radiated a feeling of cold, as if it brought the same winter with it.

"A projection of Spiritual Energy? Or of Cultivation Essence?" Ling Tian spoke in stupefaction without taking his eyes off the beautiful Ice Phoenix.

Yun Mengxin too was still looking in shock at what she could do.

Although both had assimilated such an event, they still couldn't help but be shocked.

The Ice Phoenix showed a look of elegance and pride, as if it allowed Ling Tian to observe it completely and admire it.

"It is my Spiritual Energy." Yun Mengxin said, "But I can also share my Cultivation Essence with it so that it becomes strong..."

The Ice Phoenix looked at Ling Tian after a few seconds. Its gaze seemed to pierce Ling Tian's eyes to look into his soul.

* Cry! *

A cry full of joy and happiness was heard when the Ice Phoenix cried and flapped its wings, flying around them both and finally landing on Ling Tian's shoulder.

Its head touched and it began to rub Ling Tian's head, as if demonstrating its affection.

Ling Tian was stunned for a while as he observed the behavior of this spirit.

Yun Mengxin smiled at this. Although it could be said that it was like a spirit, the Ice Phoenix came from her, so she could feel everything.

"This may be the legacy of the Holy Shrine..." Ling Tian later said, while caressing the head of the Ice Phoenix, "It is as if it were an awakened spirit..."

Yun Mengxin nodded as she thought about the Holy Shrine.

Immediately, Yun Mengxin looked at Ling Tian with guilt and remorse.

Ling Tian noticed this and smiled quietly, kissing Yun Mengxin with love and tenderness.

"Don't worry about me, I feel that I could later awaken or acquire this kind of spirit." Ling Tian knew what Yun Mengxin was feeling at this moment: "I prefer to give you everything and help you first, that way you will become very strong."

Yun Mengxin knew that Ling Tian had shared all his power with her so that she could "awaken" this Ice Phoenix because her energy was not enough!

That's why she felt guilty that her man was left behind because of her.

However, hearing what Ling Tian said and feeling that he didn't really blame her, Yun Mengxin felt a little better. But even so, she was anxiously hoping that Ling Tian could have this kind of inheritance too.

Ling Tian had decided to help Yun Mengxin first, so he did not regret doing so and knew that his own spirit might awaken later, only that he did not know when.

"I feel that in my case it would be a Fire Phoenix." Ling Tian tilted his head and looked at the spirit on his shoulder.

The explosion of fire and ice energy in both of them was obvious before, so that would most likely be the case.

A Fire Phoenix and an Ice Phoenix would be the perfect match. In addition, they would practically be a pair.

Yun Mengxin looked at Ling Tian for a few seconds before shaking her head and saying, "I don't think so. I feel that it could be another type of more powerful being."

Ling Tian frowned at the thought of this.

As far as he knew, the Phoenix is one of the most powerful and special legendary creatures, as is the Qilin, since they are above all other creatures.

The only other beast that could keep up with and even be much more powerful than the Phoenix would be the Dragon.

But, although Ling Tian felt it would be a strange thing, it would be better to wait until his own spirit awakened.

* Rumble... *

The space was slightly altered, making waves in the space subtly.

Yun Mengxin frowned, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

"I feel that this Little World is not complete even though it is a treasure of heaven." Ling Tian spoke as he expanded his senses.

The place where they met was his Little World.

Although this was something that was supposed to come from the heavens, it seemed that it was not yet complete...

"We should get out and come back. That way you can have your divine damnation." Ling Tian turned to Yun Mengxin.

Yun Mengxin nodded to him.

Yun Mengxin's cultivation had already reached Nascent Soul Peak Stage!

They both knew that this was due to the two spheres and the "awakening" of their soul or spirit. Even Ling Tian felt that if it weren't for Yun Mengxin facing divine damnation, her cultivation would increase even more!

And not only that... a layer of the Heavenly Seal had been removed from him as well!

Now his level of cultivation was at the Nascent Soul Peak Stage, like Yun Mengxin.

Ling Tian was now sure that powerful and mysterious energies could also help lift his Heavenly Seal.

The Ice Phoenix cried out once more before flying and finally returning to Yun Mengxin's body, becoming particles of energy.

Taking one last look, Ling Tian grinned mischievously as he watched all the chaos they had made these days. Yun Mengxin made a lovely pout as she noticed his grin. However, her heart had not stopped beating with happiness and the sweet fluttering in her being continued.

Ling Tian took Yun Mengxin's hand and they left the Little World.
