The Way of The Dao

"Looks like we're here!"

Ling Tian quickly noticed a city in the distance. Cultivators flying in the sky could also be seen, as well as giant flying artifacts as well.

Ancient but tall buildings towered in the sky, as well as houses and other types of buildings with elegant as well as mysterious designs.

"It's Radiant Sun city, it's a place where you have to respect authority when you're inside, they would take care of problems and look for culprits if necessary. But once outside, they won't intervene for you even if you are innocent. It could be said to be the central city of this territory, a bigger place than the imperial capital dominated by what was the Ji family."

Shin Wei quickly explained the information he had gathered in the imperial capital.

"I had heard about this place once: they say that there are many powerful experts hidden in this place and that even a family as powerful as the Ji family would have to be respectful when entering here." Li Fengyuan looked at the city they were approaching and said what little she knew.

"It wouldn't be strange to find experts on the Great Ascension state then." Xuanyuan Ling pondered what she heard and immediately added what she thought.

"There are always going to be hidden experts everywhere even if they don't show themselves." Ling Tian nodded and interjected shortly after, adding surprising words: "There will always be crouching tigers and hidden dragons all over the world, so you should take this into account. Never let your guards down and always be aware of everything around you, whether it's a tree or a rock..."

Ling Tian could not count the times he was besieged by powerful enemies who had amazing abilities or concealment equipment, ambushing him from unimaginable places. Ling Tian almost died a few times if it wasn't for his combat experience and reaction that increased more and more with time.

"How much will it cost to use the formations?" Ling Tian suddenly asked, thinking about the teleportation formations.

"No one in the imperial capital knew about, so minimum it could be hundreds of thousands of middle grade spiritual crystals..." Shin Wei frowned as he replied, taking out several mountains of spirit crystals from his storage ring.

Li Fengyuan took a cold breath as she saw the enormous amount of spirit crystals and felt the energy in them. She even felt that she could advance to the next stage if she used these spirit crystals!

"I remember in our world the formations used 500 thousand middle grade spiritual crystals to function." Ling Tian nodded and recalled the formations on the Heavenly Earth Continent.

Not many people could afford to pay such an amount, so only people with great wealth or belonging to major sects or cities could afford to use it.

500 thousand middle-grade spiritual crystals would take almost a lifetime to collect for an average person!

Even more so for solitary cultivators!

Normally, most cultivators would prefer to use the spiritual crystals to cultivate and advance to the next stage, try to break the bottlenecks and become stronger. Depending on one's cultivation level, they could even advance up to two stages with that amount of spiritual crystals!

"Brother Wuhu once used the formation in our territory, saying that he had felt that it would soon stop working and might even be dangerous." Shin Wei mentioned what Lu Wuhu had told him long ago.

"The formation is about to be destroyed then." Ling Tian said.

"The bad thing is that there seems to be no formation grandmasters who are capable of fixing it." Shin Wei smiled helplessly, remembering the shortage of formation masters.

"If I get a chance, I will deploy a teleportation formation in the house so that you can use it when you have to go to other places in other states." Ling Tian added again, causing Shin Wei to be surprised!

That would save a lot of time and distance!

* Fwoosh! *

Suddenly, a giant ship flew above them, causing the shuttle to wobble slightly.

Shin Wei frowned in annoyance before his cultivation essence spread out and held strong, not giving way to the giant ship.

The giant ship's barrier collided with Shin Wei's powerful Chi and deflected, causing the giant ship to tremble. Quickly, the deck was uncovered and several people jumped out.

"And the trouble begins..." Ling Tian sighed in surrender before picking up the cup of tea and taking a soft sip, then saying, "Little Wei, you take over. Ling'er, it's very good tea, you used the fire and ice leaves that Di Ji's family gave us? But I think you added something else to it if I'm not mistaken..."

"Yes, Grandmaster! I added another kind of herb to it..."

Ling Tian left the matter to Shin Wei while Xuanyuan Ling replied with a faint smile, explaining what she had added to the tea.

Li Fengyuan was stunned to see that Ling Tian easily let Shin Wei take care of it. Therefore, she moved a little closer to the edge of the shuttle and looked at the people who soon came out, wanting to see how Shin Wei would deal with this matter.

"Hey! Why the hell are you standing in our way? Can't you see that you did damage to our ship?"

"Now you have to pay for the damage done!"

2 men with extravagant robes and sharp looks showed themselves, throwing their auras and trying to intimidate Ling Tian and the others while trying to stop the shuttle with their Chi. A woman wearing a revealing dress also showed herself and looked sneeringly at the group, only to be surprised and show interest when she saw that they were only young guys in their 20s.

"Huy~! A beautiful girl!"

"Rather 2 beautiful women!"

The men licked their lips as they noticed Li Fengyuan and Xuanyuan Ling, incomparably extraordinary young beauties!

"At that age you only think nonsense?" Shin Wei sneered at both men and then turned to look at the woman, who was the one with the highest cultivation.

"What are you saying kid?"

"Are you trying to play the hero and look good with both beauties at your sides?"

The two men sneered and one of them released his Potential towards Shin Wei. The other exerted his cultivation essence and prepared an attack technique.

"What do you want? You were the ones who tried to crash into us having the whole sky to fly. Do you think you own the sky or the world?" Shin Wei sneered again, calmly looking at the woman who hadn't spoken from the beginning. He didn't even feel the slightest pressure from the man's Potential, as if it was only breezes of air touching his body.

Just as both men were about to say something, the woman raised her hand, stopping them, and said, "I've never met anyone like you before. How about working for me? I think you're very interesting." Her gaze showed interest, but one could tell her eyes were mostly spying on Ling Tian who was oblivious to what was going on.

Shin Wei rolled his eyes before saying, "Are you finished? We're in a hurry and don't want to be delayed because of nuisances like you." He didn't want to cause too much trouble and draw unnecessary attention.

A powerful force spread around Shin Wei carrying unimaginable coercion!

The woman had a cold expression, glaring at Shin Wei. Her domain expanded and trapped Shin Wei.

"Hand over that shuttle and all your storage rings if you don't want to die!" The woman shouted violently and the two men threw their Potentials towards Shin Wei and the others, casting their auras to put pressures on them.

But the next moment, the woman heard a crackling sound and felt her domain shattered in less than a second!

Then, a powerful domain expanded and trapped the 3 people, leaving them immobile and unable to breathe.

"What is this force?"

"What senior is here?"

The two men muttered in a daze as they tried to look for experts who could probably have arrived without them noticing.

"Domain!"

But the woman exclaimed in stupefaction, knowing that she was trapped in a domain and much stronger and more powerful than her own!

A cultivation essence giant hand materialized and grabbed the woman, terrifying her more and more.

"You still want us to hand over our things?"

Shin Wei looked coldly at the woman as he held her trapped with a cultivation essence giant hand and the two men inside his domain.
