The Way of The Dao



Tremendous changes occurred simultaneously throughout the entire Heavenly Earth Continent. The cultivation world had never been so agitated since great events in the past.

The cause of it all at this moment was sitting cross-legged on a mountain peak. A forest filled with powerful wild spirit animals flooded the entire place, mountains so high dozens of meters towered into the sky. The spiritual chi was very concentrated and powerful, making this place a cultivation paradise.

But there was a space nearby that seemed to have been shattered by great terrifying storms. The trees, flowers and plants were in powdery dust, while the ground was cracked with much havoc all around.

Ling Tian let out a sigh and slowly opened his eyes. Neither joy nor sadness in them.

"Looks like I was in an extremely deadly situation again..."

Ling Tian smiled helplessly when he saw the shredded clothing on his body. His clothes all in tatters, shredded completely and barely a few garments hung on his body. Blood completely stained every piece of clothing with none left behind, as if it had been submerged in a pool full of blood.

However, his skin was still so soft and tender, white and smooth with unparalleled perfection, as if unlike the disastrous blood-filled garment this one had barely been born.

Ling Tian glanced inside his heart, stepping into the Blood Sea and observing the spiritual twin tree that exuded an impressive vitality. Clearly the biggest factor in him recovering from his wounds throughout his body was this impressive twin spirit tree, healing him non-stop, as well as the regenerative and healing factor of his own body reaching a high body refining level, healing wounds an unimaginable speed.

The healing aura of the spiritual twin tree had slightly reduced, but surprisingly at this moment it began to gather the energy of the Blood Sea from his heart, recovering its vital aura and becoming thicker and more powerful.

A very powerful natural treasure that could recover on its own!

Ling Tian let out a sigh of relief as he remembered that this kind of unique and powerful natural treasure had many wonders. Although it absorbed the power and essence of his Blood Sea from his heart, Ling Tian could easily replenish it either by cultivating the surrounding spiritual chi, continuing to refine his body, breaking through, consuming powerful medicinal pills or treasures full of vitality.

In short, it is an almost endless source of vitality.

"Heh~" Ling Tian let out a few helpless chuckles as he saw that he was mostly naked. After he had entered the space crack that he had forcibly formed, he was ejected out of the void dimension, obtaining completely deep wounds and appearing in this place.

Ling Tian took out a top quality silk garment, with the upper garment being black, while the lower garment was of a pure white color. A simple yet elegant attire at the same time, with the appearance resembling a solitary grandmaster cultivator. The pure black hair that had grown slightly to just past the base of his neck at this time added another kind of natural and attractive charm.

"Judging from the aura and energy, I could be in the East or South state... uhm, I think it's the South state."

Ling Tian cast a casual glance around. At this moment, he could notice only flora and fauna, a wild forest filled with powerful spirit creatures. The spiritual beasts roaming several tens of meters away from there were in the Foundation Establishment stages for the most part.

This kind of level was very low, so Ling Tian could only think that he was in the South state for now, besides the force of spiritual energy in the environment. The West state was said to be barren and without Chi, so almost no one inhabited there apparently.

Ling Tian could not recognize the place where he was.

Ling Tian's figure disappeared from the place instantly, teleporting silently to another mountain far away from him in the blink of an eye.

Ling Tian waved his hand slightly and a powerful aura emerged from the entrance of a small cave at the top of the mountain. An aura belonging to a Golden Core stage expert lay inside this cave.

"It seems that the action has triggered the rise of spiritual chi all over the world, as well as the emergence of expert inheritances that had been buried and lost after so many years." Ling Tian casually looked at the entrance of the cave, although his spirit sense had been severely damaged it had easily penetrated the barrier that this expert had left earlier and he could see inside there were some things like spiritual weapons and a storage ring containing many pills, tomes, refining materials, spiritual herbs and other things. Evidently the inheritance or legacy of a Golden Core stage cultivator.

Ling Tian withdrew his gaze after a few seconds without taking any notice of this supposedly powerful inheritance. It was clearly the legacy of the expert from the past, containing his secrets, techniques, experiences and more, waiting for a suitable candidate to come along and accept its inheritance.

But even if it was the inheritance of a powerful cultivator of the Great Ascension state, Ling Tian would yawn and not give a damn. Even the inheritance of a Great Emperor or a Grand Supreme Immortal would only have Ling Tian's disdain!

After all, Ling Tian has the foundation of a Grand Supreme no less powerful than most, so he would have no benefit in fighting for an inheritance from an expert equal or inferior to him. Only inheritances or legacies related to divine existences can enter his gaze, and simply not any inferior legacies. Furthermore, the cultivation resources he needed were not as simple as common pills or low-level treasures; Ling Tian was certain that he would need far more resources now than in the past.

Likewise, Ling Tian knew more than anyone else that some expert's type of inheritance or legacy would mostly mark one's own limit, unless the heir's will or spirit was powerful enough to break the inherited chains and limits.

However, Ling Tian's bright jet black eyes turned completely cold at the thought of this. The formation that was set up throughout the entire void dimension was not only blocking the immortal ascension call to the Immortal World, but it was also restricting all the spiritual chi in the world, reducing its spiritual energy and placing a harder boundary for ordinary cultivators to break through.

Ling Tian had seen that most of the cultivators in this wild forest had barely just broken through due to their unstable bases and cultivation circulation, while others were breaking through in the midst of their destinies. He could also hear a bit of information as they headed deep into this wild forest to push their luck and try to change their fates.

The formation clearly could not be done by just anyone, it had to be a terrifying existence or one with a deep and unimaginable knowledge in the area of formations in order to accomplish it. While the objectives of this being was to block the call of immortal ascension, in the end it also completely restricted the cultivators of this continent and locked them in this world so that no one could leave, whether it was ascending to the higher plane or traveling to other worlds.

But what this existence did not know was that there were still many ways to leave this world, but these methods were clearly very dangerous and with little risk of survival. Neither did know that there were still teleportation formations of ancient, very powerful civilizations that could ignore the blockade formation.

"Whatever it is, I'll face this guy sooner or later." Ling Tian's gaze became firm and confident. Even Ling Tian related that this being was Hang Liang, the old man he fought against in the other world and had a strong talent in the Dao of Space and Swords, but he immediately shook his head.

Ling Tian had an intuition that Hang Liang was not the type of person who would make such arrangements after facing him for a while, but would rather act in his own person.

Many unknown but extremely powerful individuals were beginning to appear lately.

Finally, intense joy and relief filled Ling Tian, smiling charmingly happy. Thanks to the problem with the formation colliding with the void forces, his meridians had been repaired by half, while his Dantian no longer looked as delicate as a completely cracked thin glass about to shatter!

At the same time, Ling Tian frowned slightly puzzled. He looked up at the sky and saw that a few small, slightly gray clouds appeared overhead, with their color slightly resembling the clouds in the heavenly tribulation to advance to the next realm. Even his body felt lighter, no longer as restricted and suppressed by the same heavens as before, and it seemed that with every second this sensation became more vivid and real, feeling freer and calmer. Ling Tian could now move with more ease and dexterity. However, there was still some restraint, though obviously slightly less of it.

But despite these good and great changes, it only made Ling Tian frown. After breaking the formation the changes were evident all over the world, mostly in his body as he seemed to be suppressed especially by the heavens and could now breathe more calmly and freely. But that strange feeling and as well as those little clouds trying to go unnoticed caught his attention, knowing that this matter was far from easy.

The spirit sense expanded rapidly with some slowness as it was severely damaged, slowly recovering as it overcame thousands of miles in a few seconds, completely covering the entire wild forest where Ling Tian was located. He could easily see what was going on inside the wild forest, as well as find many presences of low level cultivators fighting against the wild beasts, as well as other powerful auras like the one he had on the side. Needless to say, these auras were the legacies of those dead experts, while the cultivators who had gone deep were coming for these legacies to advance their cultivations.

Ling Tian also paid attention to any details he could find. Being in the South State, his family and friends along with his disciples had supposedly appeared here, so Ling Tian had a great chance of finding them.

Ling Tian ignored all those auras that were gradually emerging, inviting all souls to come forward to receive their inheritances. His gaze easily traversed much of the wild forest, looking in one particular direction.

His figure disappeared again, this time, teleporting to a frighteningly far distance in the blink of an eye, leaving the wild forest in less than a split second.
