The Way of The Dao

More than 1 month elapsed, with Ling Tian training everyone every day, advising them and improving their abilities.

* Sthump! *

Some bodies fell to the ground, their breaths completely heaving as they lay limp.

"You have improved quite a bit, well done."

Ling Tian lay in the center, looking at everyone else around him.

"How is it possible that we can't even land a small hit on you." Tang Jingtian spoke in between breaths, taking a deep breath to fill his lungs with air.

"You don't even have a drop of sweat..." Mu Shen added shortly.

Ling Tian stretched and said, "It's because you still have a long way to go before you can touch a single hair on me, plus you are just learning how to fight, therefore, it's easy for me to play with you."

Chu Feng was also lying on his back, panting heavily. He now understood about Ling Tian's terrifying ability and the fear and respect kept growing in him.

He even felt that Ling Tian was actually playing with them without fighting in earnest!

Not for nothing is he a powerful being in the Immortal World....

* Swoosh!!! *

A kick passed close to Ling Tian from a blind spot when the latter only bent slightly and easily avoided it.

"Still not giving up?" Ling Tian turned to look at Long Yuyin as he laughed mischievously.

Long Yuyin pouted and fell to her knees, breathing heavily, "Why won't you let me hit you just once!" Her eyes looked like they wanted to eat Ling Tian for not being able to hit him.

"Haha, you still have a lot to learn." Ling Tian stuck his tongue out at her, teasing her before shifting his gaze to the side, "I see you all haven't given up either~"

A powerful spear swung straight at his chest, which, Ling Tian retreated a few steps before disappearing when some arrows and shining swords attacked the place where he was a moment ago.

"Just stand still for just a second!" Zhang Xinya shouted angrily too, showing a pout with her resentful face as she looked in Ling Tian's direction. She could barely stand upright thanks to using her spear for support.

Lan Yin and Tang Wanying also fell to the ground after having used up all their energy, breathing frantically.

Ling Tian laughed as he felt a powerful pressure covering him and a tender figure appeared beside him!

"HA!"

Images of swords began to detach from the sword contained by Shan Qingwu when she approached Ling Tian!

Ling Tian shook the space with the branch and broke through the aura covering him before easily dodging the attack of several swords to the side of him. The branch in his hand he used it at once to strike Shan Qingwu's sword and knock it out of her hands, but this caused the branch itself to finish breaking.

* Whoosh! *

Ling Tian quickly grabbed Shan Qingwu's arm and threw her in a direction, specifically where Mu Shuiruo was!

* Bang! *

Mu Shuiruo expelled her power and formed a cover, slowing down Shan Qingwu's speed before she collided into her!

"You have really managed to coordinate very well." Ling Tian nodded as he looked at the two girls who could no longer stand up finally and were exhausted, "Only that you should execute your moves instantly and not give any signal to the enemy before attacking. That way you will take them by surprise and their times to react will be shortened."

With the help of Mu Shuiruo and her Map of the Heavens, Earth, Mountains and Rivers, Ling Tian would be locked in the powerful aura while the others tried to attack him right away.

However, he would break the aura and would never be hit by anyone.

"Looks like you don't want the promise I gave you..." Ling Tian smiled teasingly.

Shan Qingwu and Mu Shuiruo were showing signs that they would not be able to stand up anymore.

Zhang Xinya took a step and threw her spear towards Ling Tian when she saw that he was not paying attention to her.

Ling Tian calmly bent down to dodge the spear when again a powerful pressure covered him again!

Mu Shuiruo had half stood up again and used the remaining of her energy to trap Ling Tian!

It was a feint what they had done before they no longer had any energy!

"Do it now!" Zhang Xinya shouted into the air with her last bit of strength as she was breathing heavily and was on her knees, "He no longer has anything to defend himself with!"

Ling Tian had used several tree branches as if it were a sword, trying to feel his own sword again before these branches wore out from use and from not being able to withstand the force of impact.

A beautiful figure suddenly appeared in front of Ling Tian and with her sword charged towards him!

Yun Mengxin expelled her power and formed a wall of ice around Ling Tian, freezing his feet and slowing his body!

Lotuses of snow rained down around Ling Tian and slightly clouded his vision!

The powerful pressure coming from Yun Mengxin and Mu Shuiruo further reduced Ling Tian's mobility, but the latter had not even made the attempt to move and only showed a slight smile.

If this was not enough, multiple arrows and glowing swords surrounded Ling Tian the moment the ice covered him.

Small swords also formed near Ling Tian, similar to Shan Qingwu's!

At once, another figure also appeared behind Ling Tian!

Long Yuyin attacked with her daggers from behind while Yun Mengxin attacked from the front!

A big grin full of anticipation and pride formed on Long Yuyin's beautiful face as she thrust her daggers with all her strength.

Suddenly, when Yun Mengxin's sword and Long Yuyin's daggers were about to touch Ling Tian's body, a powerful Domain exploded and froze both women in the air!

The arrows, swords and blades formed by energy were also frozen before disappearing!

The pressure covering Ling Tian and the layer of ice around him shattered, as if a powerful force exploded and destroyed every bit of energy!

Yun Mengxin narrowed her eyes and managed to move a little. Long Yuyin made her pout even bigger as she was unable to move.

This was Ling Tian's Domain!

* Crack... *

A few small cracks formed in Ling Tian's Domain when Yun Mengxin manifested almost her own Potential.

Her battle progression and comprehension in the Potential had greatly improved, accomplishing what was impossible for most cultivators!

Although this was only enough to make a few small cracks in Ling Tian's Domain, Yun Mengxin would always be invincible in the same realm!

Ling Tian smiled naughtily as he looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and then further fortified his Domain, expelling both women away!

Yun Mengxin finally could not resist and retreated several meters, breathing heavily as she fell to one knee and leaned on her sword.

Long Yuyin also retreated and was left in the same position as Yun Mengxin, trying to catch her breath and finally running out of strength.

'Little Shuiruo's treasure helped me become fit to be able to form my Domain from this level of cultivation.' Ling Tian looked at his hand as he opened and closed it, 'Although it has very little rank and is not very powerful, I will still be able to suppress the so-called great experts...'

"Bad luck, time's up, haha." Ling Tian laughed teasingly as he shifted his gaze on the girls, "You have missed your chance to ask me for anything~"

Zhang Xinya and Long Yuyin pouted deeply as they looked resentfully at Ling Tian. Their gazes seemed to cut into Ling Tian, wanting to hit him with their gazes even once.

They were not the only ones.

Tang Wanying, Mu Shuiruo also pouted as they continued to catch their breath.

Yun Mengxin shook her head with a small smile, but inside, she was also annoyed, wanting to at least touch Ling Tian.

"Yinyin wanted to win!" Lan Yin pouted adorably as well.

Shan Qingwu blushed slightly as she watched Ling Tian in fascination, at the same time feeling somewhat helpless that she couldn't even make a scratch on him.

After several days of training, Ling Tian had told the girls that if they managed to hit him, he would fulfill any wish or request of whoever managed to hit him, so he encouraged them with this.

At first, the women were hesitant to really fight Ling Tian with all their might as they did not want to fight their man, but when they heard what he had said, their eyes shone and they threw aside their hesitations, starting to do everything they could to hit him.

With several attempts, the girls understood that they really couldn't get close or resist much, so they finally got serious and didn't hesitate to use all their strength to at least touch Ling Tian, since with their current strength they still couldn't do it.

However, despite so much training and progress, there was still not enough strength to manage to give him any scratches.

"At least you all have improved quite a bit, so maybe in the future you can make it, hehe."

Despite the resentful looks, Ling Tian smiled proudly, as if the women's development and effort made him happy and proud.

The women also couldn't help but smile when they saw Ling Tian's expression, feeling equally happy at their progress and proud because of Ling Tian's strength.

And not only that, Ling Tian also improved in his understanding of the Space Principle by teleporting more easily and moving in space without the need to use his power or energy all this time.

* Whoosh... *

A stream of Chi flowed to the side, attracting everyone's sight.

The sky slowly grew darker.

Chu Feng was startled for a moment before stepping back and pulling out the remaining Spirit Crystals he had in his storage ring. He positioned himself and closed his eyes, beginning to run his cultivation technique.

"Looks like it's finally his turn to breakthrough..."

Ling Tian nodded as he watched Chu Feng. The others retreated as well so as not to enter the divine damnation range.

Chu Feng was going to have his divine damnation for the first time!

That meant that the cultivation level was already at the Golden Core Peak Stage.

The pressure Ling Tian imposed on them throughout this time, caused everyone to advance a few stages after experiencing great progress.

Besides Ling Tian taking a few days to build a small formation that would concentrate spiritual energy so that they could cultivate faster within it, everyone's progress was unimaginable. Although Ling Tian lacked materials for the formation, he was still able to build a mid-level array that could be of help to everyone when cultivating.

Yun Mengxin was currently at the peak of the Middle Stage of Body Condensation.

Lan Yin, Long Yuyin, Mu Shuiruo, Zhang Xinya and Tang Wanying had managed to increase their cultivation and entered the Body Condensation realm as well!

They were all at the Early Stage of that realm!

Tang Jingtian and Mu Shen had advanced their cultivation to the Golden Core Late Stage, while Chu Feng was about to attack the barrier to enter the Nascent Soul realm!

Chu Feng had already prepared and received advices from Ling Tian to face his divine damnation, so he only needs to wait.

Shan Qingwu was the one who surprised Ling Tian the most. Her cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds and she was now at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage!

This speed of cultivation was astonishing!

Although she also had excellent talent in cultivation like his women, Ling Tian knew that out of all the people, Shan Qingwu was the one who put in the most effort when cultivating.

Apparently, that was Shan Qingwu's only thought so as not to disappoint others for giving her this opportunity to cultivate.

"Too bad the Immortal Crystals ran out..." Ling Tian pursed his lips as he remembered that he again lacked resources, "Even the Spirit Crystals also ran out..."

Ling Tian's resources from his Little World were quickly consumed by everyone in exchange for greatly increasing everyone's power in such a short amount of time. He only had less than 10 Immortal Crystals and few Spirit Crystals left, but it wouldn't be of much help.

But Ling Tian knew that this was enough for now.

Besides...

Who would have the great luck to be able to cultivate with powerful Immortal Crystals?!

Not even the entire Immortal World would have even a minimal amount of Immortal Crystals like the ones Ling Tian previously had in his possession....

No one would believe that in less than a year, a group of women would manage to reach the Body Condensation realm which would take most cultivators years or even decades to achieve....

Besides Ling Tian also couldn't believe this incredible speed of cultivation to grow.

In the past when he cultivated, it had taken him a few years to advance some realms and even in some stages... such a distinct difference compared to these heaven-blessed women...

But Ling Tian didn't care and instead felt happy and content for them.

* Lightning! *

Some undetermined time later, a wave of 9 lightning bolts fell from the sky and headed towards Chu Feng.
