The Way of The Dao



Ling Tian moved through space. The efficiency and comprehension in the mystery of space had reached a terrifying depth, teleporting thousands of miles in the blink of an eye without leaving traces that even the great experts of this world could not notice.

The movement in space was so smooth and calm that Ling Tian traveled great distances in such a short time. His spirit sense also recovered to a great extent.

After several hours, Ling Tian stopped in mid-air quietly. He could clearly see a small city that was already several meters in front of him. His jet black eyes wavered slightly for a brief moment before returning to the usual calm and quiet.

"Moushen City..." Ling Tian whispered shortly after, also confirming where he was located.

This small city was the first city and settlement he had arrived at when he had first ascended to this world!

Moushen City, one of the many cities in the south state!

Ling Tian cast a glance towards a small quiet forest a distance away from the city, smiling faintly with traces of nostalgia and sentiment. It was this place where Ling Tian had met Ning Xiaoyi and Xi Fei, not knowing how essential and important these two women would be to him, being irreplaceable and hard to forget.

At this time, countless cultivators in the Chi Gathering realm and some few the Foundation Establishment realm were entering and leaving the city, creating much commotion and causing the city to become hectic. There were even some cultivators in the Golden Core realm appearing from time to time.

Obviously this was brought about by the changes throughout the world. No cultivator would miss the opportunity to fight for the resources and legacies of the experts, becoming powerful experts as well and changing their destinies.

Suddenly, a large amount of spiritual Chi energy carrying large traces of life force was directed in a specific direction, drawing Ling Tian's attention.

Without wasting any time, Ling Tian chased after this energy. At this moment he had felt a small trace of the previous spiritual pulse, so he wanted to see if there was something related to the formation he just broke or was it something else.

A few moments later, Ling Tian paused in the sky as he came to the entrance of a huge Valley. There seemed to be traces of broken formations at the entrance, while what appeared to be ruins with destroyed buildings and towers lay at the bottom of the valley.

Countless numbers of cultivators lay at the entrance, chatting and making groups to enter this valley that looked gloomy. Several cultivators at the Golden Core Stage could also be found among them.

What looked like a marketplace for trading items, weapons and so on was set up on the edges of the entrance, wanting to exchange what cultivators could get in exchange for other items or money.

Ling Tian was not surprised by this. The changes around the world were evident, but likewise the dangers existed, there was no free lunch in the world, so most cultivators still valued their own lives and preferred to team up with several so that the risks would be lower and they would make a profit. Although the benefits would also be less when shared, the risks and dangers would also be less, being able to take more care of their own lives.

Ling Tian did not stop for more than 10 seconds at this place and entered the valley. The remnants of the spiritual pulse energy had been directed inward.

...

* Boom! *

In a distant mountain range, where mountain peaks rose in chains, great explosions of force covered the place. The smaller mountains in the place trembled slightly, demonstrating the terrifying power that surged.

"Bastard! We saw this Chi Essence Yellow Lily first!"

"Hahaha! Haven't you been taught that the one with the biggest fist is the one who is right? Since you can't fight me then you don't have the right to have this spiritual flower!"

"Brother, cut the crap and kill him! We still have a long way to go!"

Several angry yells filled with rage and mockery spread across a large space. Several cultivators divided into a few factions looked at each other angrily. Swords, spears, daggers, blades and more spiritual weapons exuded large amounts of energy, showing that they had just had a fight as they panted heavily.

A young man in his early 20s, with an arrogant smile full of disdain, but elegant and fine clothing, took a few more steps as he addressed the leader of the enemy group.

"Judging by your appearance you must be over 40 years old, yet you are barely in the Middle Stage of the Foundation Establishment. Although your talent isn't bad, it's still the trash among trash, so this Chi Essence Yellow Lily would be a total waste on you!"

The young man spoke full of disdain, arrogance and sneer as he stared at the 40-year-old man several meters in front of him. He didn't even take notice of the others behind the 40-year-old man, as if they were worthless.

A little further in the background, there was a small lake that had a delicate yellow colored flower, surrounded by spiritual leaves and floating in the middle of the small lake that was no more than 3 meters in diameter. Surprisingly, a powerful Chi-filled energy exuded from it.

Clearly this group was fighting over this high-grade spiritual flower.

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, glaring furiously at the young man and then at the man next to him. This young man in his 20s was the one who had almost seriously injured him if he hadn't reacted in time to dodge, while the man in his 60s next to him gave him a terrifying feeling. He and his companions had found this flower first, but now they wanted to snatch it from them!

"Young man, don't you think you are very wicked? Clearly we found this spiritual flower before, but now you want to snatch it from us?"

However, the middle-aged man did not give up and tried to negotiate with words. He was one of the few who had the highest cultivation level in their group, but they were nothing before this young man's bodyguard.

"You dare to oppose me, Li Hengnai?"

The 20-year-old spoke arrogantly, causing commotion in the place instantly.

"Did I hear right? Li Hengnai?!"

"He is the main disciple of the Heaven Master Abode!"

"They say his talent is unique, reaching the Peak Stage of Foundation Establishment in his 20s!"

"Not only that! It is said that his talent was seen by one of the senior Elders of the Gongsun Family and he was admitted into this family as an inner member!"

"Hiss~!"

"Isn't this having a clear path to heaven?"

"No wonder he's so proud. He probably wants to use the Yellow Lily Flower to create his Golden Core and have a superior strength to compete with those monstrous geniuses of the Holy Lands."

The cultivators in the distance began to whisper full of shock once they learned of this young man's identity. They were all close enough to hear their conversations, but they stood on the sidelines, watching Li Hengnai's group fight against the middle-aged man's group without showing the slightest intention of intervening, especially when they realized the identity of the one they could not afford to offend.

But if both groups fought and suffered serious injuries, they might consider fishing in these waters. No one wants to give up on bestowing whatever treasures they have found, especially one that would help them increase their cultivations and improve their talents. Who knows, if they decided to, they could reap great rewards.

The Chi Essence Yellow Lily, in addition to increasing one's cultivation, is said to also be able to heal hidden and incurable wounds!

No one wants to give up on this kind of powerful treasure that defies the heavens!

That's why the other cultivators were of expectant, but no one had left.

Li Hengnai was aware of this, so he frowned and then spoke coldly and arrogantly, "This Yellow Lily belongs to me now, but if you don't agree, then my Gongsun Family will be willing to fight!"

The commotion went up a notch at this moment!

The mighty Gongsun Family!

Li Hengnai had confirmed with his own words that he was now under the protection of the Gongsun Family!

One of the most powerful families in the south state!

The middle-aged man felt horror, trembling in terror at the sight of Li Hengnai belonging to the Gongsun Family! He could not afford to offend this family!

No wonder this young man was so arrogant, he had such a powerful backing!
