The Way of The Dao



"Wh-what do you mean by great sister Ling?"

Suddenly, Xuanyuan Ling changed the subject when she couldn't take it anymore. A slight and almost imperceptible pout had formed on her face towards Ling Tian due to him teasing her in such a manner. However, the change of manner of addressing her by her martial sisters at this time finally caught her attention.

"Because you are the great big sister of us all!" Pang Wuya replied happily.

"The great big sister of all?" Xuanyuan Ling frowned slightly as she did not understand what this martial sister was saying. Her blush gradually disappeared.

"Because you have attained the same power as the Masters, reached the Great Ascension state! That's why you are now our great elder sister!" An Qinmeng said with great enthusiasm.

"And you are also our role model and inspiration to follow!" An Yuqing added shortly. She and the other women nodded with big smiles. Xuanyuan Ling had become their inspiration for further cultivation!

"I see..." Xuanyuan Ling blinked twice before shaking her head with a light laugh, saying, "But you don't have to change your treatments towards me. You will always be my good martial sisters."

Xuanyuan Ling and all of them had shared great bonds of friendship and sisterhood, studying, learning, accomplishing many things together. Although Xuanyuan Ling is the personal disciple of their Masters, no one was envious or opposed to it, on the contrary, they were glad to see that Xuanyuan Ling always treated all of them as true friends.

Besides that An Qinmeng, An Yuqing, Pang Wuya and the other women who were already disciples of the sect for a long time knew about Xuanyuan Ling's ability and talent, knowing that she would be the first of them all to attain power just like their Masters!

"By the way, great sister... how is it that you were able to reach this amazingly high level of cultivation in such a short time?"

One of the women asked boldly and expectantly. The others looked at Xuanyuan Ling in the same way, also wanting to know what she had done in all this time and especially how it was that she obtained such power in such a short time.

Hong Xian'er, Jia Chenxin and Jia Chenruo looked at Xuanyuan Ling in detail, concentrating their attention and their ears towards every word that came out of her while making sure to keep them inside their minds and not forget them. This wonderful woman as extremely beautiful and very young as them is their inspiration to follow, so they would not overlook what Xuanyuan Ling had come to do all this time. Perhaps they would be in some situation like her and if they took advantage of it they would also have their big chance.

Xuanyuan Ling was taken aback briefly before she regained her composure and kept her calm expression, smiling slightly at the sight of her martial sisters' interest. However, out of the corner of her eye she glanced at Ling Tian slyly, knowing that this young man who was mistaken for a junior brother martial was primarily responsible for her strength and power.

"It was thanks to Grandmaster that I was able to obtain this power..." Xuanyuan Ling finally replied when she saw the anticipatory and expectation-filled gazes of all these martial sisters, with a voice that was calm but carried a tinge of joy, awe and respect. Just like all of them, even up to this moment, Xuanyuan Ling was still still amazed about everything Ling Tian had done this short period of time, helping her to achieve this powerful strength and touch the sky in one step, becoming a powerful cultivator and entering the ranks of the great powerhouses all over the world.

"The Grandmaster?"

"You mean, the Master of our Masters?"

"The rumored Grandmaster about whom little information is available? The ancestor and founder of this sect?"

"The Senior for whom our Masters left the sect to go looking for him?"

At once, the women began to whisper rapidly, reaching the point of exclaiming in surprise and shock upon learning that Xuanyuan Ling's strength was thanks to the rumored Grandmaster they had heard about. This mysterious man was the one who raised and taught their now powerful Masters, being an eminence and legend throughout the Sect!

"The legendary Grandmaster and Supreme Ancestor of the Sect?" Hong Xian'er murmured in shock. So the rumor about this legendary figure was indeed real!

The Grandmaster that their Masters adored and respected and spoke of with excitement!

Jia Chenxin and Jia Chenruo looked at each other in surprise. Each of them could see the surprise and shock in their eyes.

"He really is the Grandmaster? You and the Masters have found him?" Pang Wuya asked Xuanyuan Ling after calming down a bit. Like her martial sisters, she was also excited to hear this.

Xuanyuan Ling nodded with a faint smile, glancing sideways at Ling Tian before saying, "Yes! Grandmaster is an amazing and extremely powerful person! He has no parallel in the world!"

Xuanyuan Ling's respectful voice and full of admiration swept through the place, thrilling the women even more. She was truly grateful to Ling Tian, having great respect and admiration for him. A pride welled up in her heart at being Ling Tian's grand disciple.

"Is the ancestor very powerful? Then he must be an extremely powerful and incredible person!"

"What a joy to know that we have such a great ancestor in the sect!"

"The sect will be much stronger than before!"

The women quickly exclaimed excitedly again. The joyful and excited smiles contained no trace of doubt or falsehood. They even began to refer to this Grandmaster as the Ancestor of the Sect.

"And how old is the Ancestor? He should be a very old man, shouldn't he?"

Suddenly, a question almost completely silenced the hubbub when one of the women asked curiously. All the others were stunned before nodding hesitantly. A person who is their Ancestor, the Master who taught their genius Masters should be a very old person, right? Although wisdom and experience came with age, there would be no problem with the age of this legendary ancestor?

A vein stood out slightly on Ling Tian's temple upon hearing this as he forced a smile. Although he knows that these women don't really know his identity, he somehow felt uncomfortable that they thought he was probably a very old man. Although his age would really make one think that he was an old man, Ling Tian still shook his head inwardly.

Xuanyuan Ling froze instantly upon hearing this before quickly denying with a slightly corrective tone of voice, "No! Grandmaster is a very handsome and young man like our Masters!" She did not dare to look at Ling Tian, thinking that he might be annoyed.

"Eh?" The woman who had asked was dumbfounded when she heard Xuanyuan Ling. She even felt that this great martial sister had subtly scolded and corrected her.

"The Ancestor is as young as our Masters?"

"It means we will have a powerful and young Ancestor?"

"How cool!"

The girls were once again happy to hear Xuanyuan Ling's words. It was said that as long as one had a deeper and more powerful cultivation level, one could learn the secrets of life and cultivation, as well as be able to stay young for a long time. This undoubtedly confirmed that their legendary rumored Ancestor is very powerful!

"And if you want to get any advice or guidance from Grandmaster you have to behave properly! Remember that only you yourselves decide how far you can go!" Xuanyuan Ling added. She felt that she had to put a limit on these martial sisters so as not to upset Ling Tian.

"Alright~!"

Hong Xian'er's delicate little hand squeezed with excitement at the thought of this legendary and amazing ancestor, hoping to receive a tip or two to become stronger and awesome, just the same way Xuanyuan Ling is now. Hong Xian'er wanted to be as strong as Xuanyuan Ling, being admired by everyone, but especially getting respect, with no one daring to belittle or humiliate her.

"We have to work and cultivate harder!" Jia Chenxin smiled towards her younger twin sister.

"Of course! More than twice as hard as we are now! We can't fall behind!" Jia Chenruo nodded towards her older twin sister. The resolve and confidence in both her and her sister's eyes shone brightly.

Ling Tian watched everything from the side, smiling happily to see that this environment seemed to be the real thing, with true bonds of friendship and sisterhood despite the current adversities and situations.

* Rumble... *

The next moment, the ground trembled slightly and various energy fluctuations came from afar.

"What's happening!?"

The women exclaimed in panic as they felt various energies flooding in. The ground shook fiercely, causing several of them to suddenly fall as they lost their balance.

Ling Tian faintly observed the nearby formations beginning to sneakily flow with more spiritual energy, quickly gathering and heading in a particular direction. But the corner of his mouth lifted slightly as he saw the large amount of spiritual energy pause briefly before flowing again but in a smaller amount.

"Look! Over there!"

A shout drew everyone's attention as their gazes focused in a particular direction.

Several shadows suddenly appeared in the sky, attracting the gazes of Xuanyuan Ling, Hong Xian'er, Jia Chenxin, Jia Chenruo and the other women.

Among the clouds in the sky above the sect, a single slender figure stood firmly in the sky, gazing in the direction of five other robust figures several meters away. These figures kept flying in the sky without moving.

Ling Tian narrowed his eyes slightly for several seconds before letting out a slight sigh and smiling softly with confidence, whispering, "Yuyin."
