The Way of The Dao

"Top-tier spiritual seeds...."

Ling Tian looked in surprise at the small wooden box that both Gu Yan and Zhao Yu handed to him with their hands. Inside the small wooden box were two small delicate seeds of a bright aquamarine color that glowed with small bright green lights around them.

The spirit seeds were powerful natural elements that provided great and considerable vitality force to whoever possessed them!

These seeds would be born from different environments, especially from places with abundant Chi spirit and rich in vital forces. Whoever managed to find any of these spiritual seeds and absorbed them into his body, would gain immense vitality that could recover all his wounds in a short span of time, even avoid imminent death by healing with considerable speed the horrible wounds in one.

The pure vital energy they provided was like a heavenly treasure. It was almost an insurance that it could carry its bearer to the top in time if there were no unexpected events.

Many would seek these spiritual seeds to be superior in fights due to their wound healing strength even in the midst of a battle, plus it would provide support and stability in cultivation by healing the most hidden internal wounds and even aiding in the stabilization of one's cultivation bases. But the latter would depend entirely on the rank of the spiritual seed.

Currently, the most powerful and well-known spiritual seeds were of third level or low rank, which were considerably powerful in helping their hosts for a while before drying up. There were not even second level or middle rank spiritual seeds, much less first level or high rank spiritual seeds, which would be considered immortal spiritual seeds.

Ling Tian could tell at a glance that these spiritual seeds were of first level quality! And even ones so rare and unique that there could be no equal spiritual seed in life!

It's as if they were twin seeds that sprouted and came from the same origin...

These spiritual seeds were almost impossible to find, especially the first level ones, making them sacred elements and a slaughter would be unleashed when a first level spiritual seed sprouted and was born into the world. They would even kill others to get them and rip them from their hearts fiercely once they found out. These sacred elements also helped increase the cultivation speed magnificently.

And now there were two top-tier spiritual seeds in front of him.

Ling Tian had been surprised and smiled gratefully. But he soon calmed down because, after all, he had obtained the unique and legendary World Tree seed!

The World Tree, something legendary as well as mythological and mysterious, was the source of all life and vitality in the world. Even these spiritual seeds that were found and sprouted were said to come from the World Tree.

Although the World Tree in his heart dried up and disappeared back into what was a dry seed like the beginning, he still did not get rid of it. Ling Tian had a hunch that it might grow back in the future. After all, it had sprouted its spirituality and vitality in the past despite being a dry seed without any energy, turning into that magnificent and imposing vital tree within his sea of heart.

"Yu'er, Yan'er... where did you get these seeds from?" Ling Tian still couldn't help but be somewhat shocked at the thought of how these two women got such a treasure.

"Several years after the rumor circulated that Master had passed away and they came to the conclusion that it was true, many Immortal Great Emperors finally fought each other to reach the available spot and have the chance to become a Great Supreme." Zhao Yu solemnly replied.

"The Mysterious Heavenly Pagoda was opened?" Ling Tian raised his eyebrow. He was interested in this Mysterious Heavenly Pagoda.

The Mysterious Heavenly Pagoda was a special dimension created by the heavens themselves, where all the Immortal Great Emperors would enter for a chance and whoever could endure to the end would gain the essence to advance to Supremacy!

There were also many opportunities for those who entered and survived!

"As it was said in the ancient scrolls, every time the Mysterious Heavenly Pagoda was opened it would bring changes and wonders to the world, as well as emergence and creation of powerful natural treasures. One of them was these spiritual seeds that emerged in the Northern state of the Immortal realm, in the snowy moon region." Zhao Yu continued to reply, recalling the bloodbath that had formed when all the high-level natural treasures emerged when the Mysterious Heavenly Pagoda appeared, "We were lucky to be the first to arrive and fight for them." Gu Yan nodded, likewise remembering that moment.

Snowy Moon Region?

Ling Tian recalled that place was several days' journey away near their home.

The news that these disciples of his had fought for these spiritual seeds made Ling Tian confirm the mountain of corpses and river of blood that formed.

"So two Great Supremes emerged?" Ling Tian asked with mild interest.

"Yes, Master! There emerged the Mystic Water Great Supreme and the Dragon Queen Great Supreme..." Gu Yan added and said the latter name with a vicious trace in her eyes. None of them observed this Mysterious Heaven Pagoda event, not even Ling Tian's sworn siblings. Although this time the Mysterious Heavenly Pagoda event was much more exciting that even the Great Supremes were watching because the number of participants of the Immortal Great Emperors was endless, each of them were searching for the clues and traces of Ling Tian's whereabouts.

Dragon Queen Great Supreme and Mystic Water Great Supreme?

Ling Tian frowned. He remembered that from the words of the Mo brothers when he fought against them on the Divine Star Continent, two Great Supremes had emerged, so the gates for the next generation had undoubtedly been opened.

Ling Tian had assassinated a Great Supreme in the past, and then with his supposed death, there were two vacancies at the moment. No doubt these two Great Supremes achieved those two opportunities and were born into the world. Although normally only one Great Supreme would emerge each time the Mysterious Heavenly Pagoda appeared, it was not uncommon for two Great Supremes to emerge.

It's just that, Ling Tian found it strange that two Great Supremes would emerge. Yes, the vacancy of the previous Great Supreme killed by his hand was there, but he was still alive and had not died! Moreover, Ling Tian had never entered this Mysterious Heavenly Pagoda to become a Great Supreme, he obtained his power and strength in the flow of space and time in the void!

He didn't even have his name on the Heavenly Wall of the Mysterious Heavenly Pagoda! As if he did not exist!

But his mighty and immeasurable power as a Great Supreme was there then...

Ling Tian thought silently. Gu Yan and Zhao Yu watched Ling Tian silently without saying any words.

"Why don't you two take it better?"

After sending the matter to the back of his head, Ling Tian did not take the small wooden box and instead slowly said to Gu Yan and Zhao Yu after looking at both spiritual seeds for a few seconds. With these spirit seeds both women would recover in less time and recover their damaged bases as well as their blood essence and a bit of immortal essence.

They would even be able to make rapid progress in their cultivation in the future!

"Master still has ways to recover and be very strong. Besides, with that you can recover from all your injuries as well as the loss of your blood essences-"

"No, Master!"

Gu Yan interrupted Ling Tian and Zhao Yu shook her head in disagreement without letting him finish.

"They can only be yours. If anyone wants to take these spiritual seeds, they are defiling our feelings for Master. Even if it's ourselves." Gu Yan shook her head, "Master is the only one for Yan'er!"

"The two of us got these spiritual seeds after fighting for them, so our feelings and hearts are here." Zhao Yu added with a firm and determined expression, just like Gu Yan: "Master is the only one for Yu'er too!"

Ling Tian's heart throbbed as he listened to the words of these women. In their eyes, one could see the stubbornness and steadfastness of wanting to hand over the spiritual seeds to Ling Tian. Moreover, both Zhao Yu and Gu Yan understood that Ling Tian should have used some sacred medicine to cure them. How could they be selfish and unkind to the person who always gave them everything and made them into the people they are today? Each and every one of them wanted to repay Ling Tian and give him everything they could!

Ling Tian was silent for a few seconds before stretching out his hand and silently absorbing the spiritual seeds with the power from the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures. The moment they touched his palm, both spiritual seeds were drawn into his heart by the power of the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures.

Both spiritual seeds circled around Ling Tian's heart as if they were scrutinizing it before breaking a small hole and entering inside. The small hole was quickly repaired without a trace.

'I was accepted...' Ling Tian whispered as he saw that both spiritual seeds easily entered his heart.

The higher the grade of a spiritual seed was, it seemed to gain intelligence of its own and could even reject the host if it wanted to....

Both spiritual seeds entered Ling Tian's heart, inside him was the Sea of Blood. A domineering and powerful vital force instantly exploded, bursting out from Ling Tian's heart as he was slightly startled.

The two spiritual seeds floated throughout his Heart Sea and reached the small island where in the middle was the dried seed left over from the World Tree. Both spiritual seeds seemed to float around the place and even the small dry seed and once again sprouted with a powerful vital force and buried themselves in the whole island. Their roots and vines grew and spread all over his Heart Sea, with both spiritual seeds growing into majestic twin trees that radiated amazing vitality.

The Sea of Blood that some time ago was almost dry and slowly recovering, began to recover at great speed! Becoming an abundant Sea of Blood again!

Suddenly, Ling Tian felt his life force aura soar higher and higher, and his blood essence multiplied a few times. Ling Tian could feel that his entire body had become slightly stronger and better at this moment. He felt an energetic feeling almost comparable to when he had the World Tree in his heart.

Zhao Yu and Gu Yan smiled happily when they felt this powerful life force surge from Ling Tian's body. They could see that a unique and powerful vitality radiated with his every breath at this moment!

Ling Tian realized that the dried seed of the World Tree was between the two small trees that had sprouted in the center of his Heart Sea. It is as if there was an unspoken understanding between the two spiritual seeds not to disturb this dry seed, as well as to leave it in place and grow only around it.

""Many congratulations, Master!""

Instantly, the excited and happy voices of Zhao Yu and Gu Yan were heard, making Ling Tian smile gratefully.

"Master has always been the person I have worshipped and trusted the most!" The adoration could be noticed in Zhao Yu's gaze.

"Yan'er believes that Master will become much stronger than before and no one will be able to do anything to him! Not even all the Great Supremes!" Gu Yan excitedly exclaimed the latter.

"You girls..." Ling Tian felt a warmth in his heart as he saw the bright, pure, innocent, but above all, very happy and expectant expressions of these two beloved disciples of his. He could not help but remember childish, young faces superimposed before the beautiful faces of both women. He could imagine more than anyone else all the suffering and pain these women had to go through to get these unique and wonderful spiritual seeds. His heart couldn't help but tighten...

Extending his arms gently, Ling Tian hugged the two of them with a loving and tender expression. Zhao Yu and Gu Yan smiled happily and also hugged Ling Tian without hesitation.

"Master knows in his heart all that you have done and how you have suffered up to this moment. All the grievances and torments you have suffered I will bear them myself from now on so that you will not have to suffer any more. Master will keep you safe and sound and heal all your wounds. I will definitely make you both very happy. Even if you find exceptional husbands worthy of you, I will not allow you to suffer any more... I will not let my adored and beloved girls suffer any misfortune."

However, the next moment, both Zhao Yu and Gu Yan stiffened and this time their expressions did not disappear quickly, puzzling Ling Tian when he noticed that their smiles were instantly frozen.
