The Way of The Dao



Ling Tian noticed Xuanyuan Ling's discreet action towards Nalan Ziqing and nodded to her gratefully with a smile.

"Unfortunately I only got a little bit of information..." Ling Tian smiled helplessly. He had been so angry and furious that he had almost completely annihilated Man Chong's soul in an instant, barely being able to recover a small part of it.

"Apparently these guys come from the Immortal World." Ling Tian spoke, startling Lu Wuhu and the others before continuing, "From what I could understand it was some sort of fight between a large group, apparently belonging to clans or sects from the Immortal World. They fought and due to the unstable location they were thrown into the void, where they subsequently fell into this world with only a few of them managing to survive. From what I understand it seems to be a few thousand years since it happened."

Ling Tian explained what he had obtained by refining the remaining remnants of Man Chong's soul. Although it was only a few memories and a bit of information, he could largely discern what had happened.

"They really are immortal cultivators?" Lu Wuhu couldn't help but be a little surprised at this. These guys really did come from the legendary Immortal World!

Although Ling Tian had told them that there was a probability of ascending to the Immortal World in the past, he wasn't sure since no one had long since managed to ascend or break the shackles of mortality. Therefore, the Immortal World had become a legend and a rumor at present.

But now, the Immortal World is a reality and brings with it many surprises!

"There are several immortal cultivators hiding as elders in this sect of the Heavenly Great Power. What I don't know is whether they were the founders of this sect or they took over..." Ling Tian frowned slightly, finally understanding why he had this intuition of danger in the past when he wanted to investigate this prominent sect considered the number one sect in the World.

The threat that the immortal cultivators could bring could have easily caused him to lose his life in the past. The techniques, methods and secrets of the Immortal Realm are not something a cultivator who hasn't broken his mortal shackles could deal with.

"I think the sect is more than 50 thousand years old, so they might have taken over..." Lu Wuhu immediately answered what he knew about the Heavenly Great Power sect. They probably killed the original sect Master and Elders. This sect dates back to ancient times, so its heritage and origin are not ordinary or weak; even its outer disciples alone number over 100,000!

"Perhaps. But remember that the deeper the cultivation, the life expectancy increases exponentially. A Great Ascension realm expert has a life expectancy of 10 thousand years, even a little more if they manage to absorb or refine natural treasures containing vitality to extend their lives. Whereas a cultivator who has managed to break through his mortal shackles and entered the first realm which is the Human Immortal stage can live for at least 50 thousand years if he is not killed... or unless he manages to break through and advance to the next realm, thus increasing his life expectancy."

Ling Tian spread his fingers, indicating to Lu Wuhu.

The first realm of immortal cultivation after mortality is the Human Immortal!

Breaking the mortal shackles of mortal cultivation, those at the peak of the Great Ascension realm are the ones who can advance to this first immortal realm!

"Up to fifty thousand years?" Shan Qingwu was completely shocked. She knew that cultivating at high altitudes could increase life expectancy, but living for thousands of years? That's crazy! She would barely reach 20 years old, while in her native world the old people lived up to 200 years if their inner energies were powerful, so she had never imagined herself living tens of thousands of years, something out of her imagination.

Nalan Ziqing could not help but be surprised either. The life expectancy in the Immortal World is a far-fetched thing.

"And that's only at the first immortal cultivation realm." Ling Tian smiled in amusement at Shang Qingwu's expression before adding, "When I was at my peak, uhm, I think my life expectancy was dozens of millions of years..." Ling Tian narrowed his eyes slightly as he thought.

Ling Tian's last words caused an intense shock to everyone in the place!

"You had really achieved a great level in your cultivation, big brother?" Xue Ning hesitated in shock, looking at Ling Tian who had only shrugged his shoulders as if what he said was of no great significance.

Even Mu Shuiruo and Long Yuyin could not help but be surprised. They knew that Ling Tian had reached a very high level of cultivation, the highest in the entire realm, but that his lifespan was millions of years was mind-boggling.

"It seems so..." Ling Tian nodded calmly before frowning for a few seconds and saying, "But I think that despite being from the Immortal World, we are not really immortal. However, regarding the God Cultivation, beyond the Immortal Plane, the gods were said to have infinite lifespans, living since ancient times for billions of years, therefore they would be the true immortals."

Ling Tian had consumed various natural treasures with great vitalities and pure essences, so his life expectancy may have been extended beyond expectation. But he knew that he had not become a true immortal who could live throughout life like the heavens. Similarly, Ling Tian only knew a little about the territory of the gods thanks to the fragments of memories from his past life. It seemed that he had reached an amazing level in divinity, managing to shock the divine plane at his peak apparently.

Moreover, what Ling Tian was certain of was that the next level of the Supremacy stage is the Awakening!

And apparently, an existence in this Awakening realm was so powerful that even several Great Emperors and even most Majestic Grand Supremes would not be able to resist its aura for a second, being wiped out with a single hand movement.

But what Ling Tian wasn't sure about was that strangely the Supremacy stage and the Awakening stage were very mysterious levels that only had one level of cultivation apparently. However, Ling Tian had the intuition that there was more than just one level of the Supreme realm, although he could not explain it.

Perhaps as more memories of his past life emerged, Ling Tian would be able to know more things.

"Well! When the time comes I will personally deal with this sect! So don't you guys worry! Now it's time to take care of these remaining little fish..."

Ling Tian clapped his hands briefly, snapping everyone out of their stupefied states. His expression smiled indifferently towards the few members whether elders or disciples who had managed to survive Long Yuyin's attack, including Heng Tiandi, Shi Ye and Hai Ton. His eyes sparkled with interest as he found Heng Jiming and Ge Lian in the distance with pale and dumbfounded faces as his gaze shifted to them.

"Taking over the world's first sect on your own? Isn't that crazy?"

But Nalan Ziqing mumbled to herself, being stunned and speechless at what Ling Tian had said.

This sect from what she had learned was the first in the world! And more so now that it had immortal cultivators within it! While Ling Tian was not at his peak, much less had a cultivation base!

But if Ling Tian managed to annihilate this sect by himself, then she would be able to eradicate that evil sect from her cultivation world that killed her parents. Nalan Ziqing knew that if she wanted to eliminate this sect on her own, she had to cultivate for a long time and reach the pinnacle, but the more she was with Ling Tian the more she realized that things at first glance are never what they appear to be. Therefore, that sect might have methods and traps that would endanger her life and even kill her as soon as she set a foot inside, thus failing in her revenge for her parents.

Nalan Ziqing clenched her fists, increasingly feeling the lack of strength and power. Her gaze focused on Ling Tian, even forgetting the fear she felt moments ago: if she honestly asked about immortal techniques or skills, Ling Tian could just give it to her just like that? Although she had an indirect relationship with Ling Tian because of Xi Fei and Ning Xiaoyi, Nalan Ziqing felt that it would be shameless of her to take advantage of this. Therefore, would there be any other way for Ling Tian to help her with some immortal techniques and methods?

The hatred in her heart towards those cultivators and that sect could not easily disappear.
