The Way of The Dao

Ling Tian woke up from his state and couldn't believe what was happening.

He had firmly decided to start his cultivation again a few moments ago, so the surprise of seeing his cultivation return shocked him to the point of wondering if he was dreaming.

-Chi Gathering Peak Stage-

Although Chi Gathering's Peak Stage was not even a millionth of all his power and cultivation, he was still euphoric.

He understood instantly that his seal was not permanent and could be completely lifted one day.

However, with his current strength, he was already the strongest in this lower plane. And moreover, due to the fact that it was truly immortal essence, he could stand up to someone in the Peak Stage of Foundation Establishment. Exploiting his full potential and strength, he could even face a Golden Core.

Ling Tian wanted to explode with happiness, so he quickly drew his sword, mounted it and rose to the heavens.

"Wooooooaaaaaaaaahhh"

"Yeeeeeeeaaaaahhhh"

Ling Tian was happy that his cultivation has returned again. Even flying had never felt so wonderful. Ling Tian decided he had to appreciate what he had: 'You never really understand the value of what you have until you lose it...'

Ling Tian continued to shout all his euphoria, all his happiness, until he was satisfied and calmed down a bit. Although he was still a little shaken. He thought all this was still a dream.

He did not even cast his spell of invisibility, total, it was night, so no one could see him in the dark sky.

Ling Tian flew to the Star City, realizing that, from the Mu siblings' home, it was practically out of the city area.

Although he had his guesses, Ling Tian decided to ask Mu Shen about the situation.

Ling Tian flew over the entire Star City.

At his speed, he flew almost all over the giant city for less than an hour.

The Star City was surrounded by high walls, to prevent the demonic beasts from entering easily.

Ling Tian observed the demarcation and structuring of buildings on all sides. It seemed that there were houses that had large spaces, should they be one of those great families?

Ling Tian released his spiritual sense and scanned the surroundings. Although he had reached the Peak Stage of Chi Gathering, his spiritual sense had been greatly strengthened and he could release it in a range of just over 100 km, as if he were actually on the stage of Foundation Establishment.

Ling Tian hardly found many people outside, it was nighttime so people would be sleeping. Only the guards could be found to perform their roles in overseeing the defense of the city at night, in case an attack by the demonic beasts occurred.

Just as Ling Tian was about to return to the Mu siblings' home, he noticed a person facing demonic beasts in the middle of the night, in what appeared to be a forest just outside the walls of the Star City. The person appeared to be a woman.

There were some areas where many trees grew and formed a canopy so that he could not see from above, while in other places, there was almost no sign of trees. Ling Tian did not mind, however, as he had the use of his spiritual sense and could visualize everything.

Even some low-level demon beasts could be seen up close, in the Early Stage of Chi Gathering. There were 3 demon beasts near the place that were in the Fourth Stage of Chi Gathering.

'It seems that there are even people who continue to train at night'. Ling Tian thought as he descended near the site. Obviously, he didn't want to scare that person when he suddenly appeared, so he decided to go down several meters and walk.

Ling Tian walked, making some noise, to report his presence.

Just when he could see exactly who it was, Ling Tian was stunned when he saw the person.

In front of him was a young woman dressed in snow-white clothes with an icy expression.

This woman had long, beautiful black hair. Eyebrows shaped like a crescent. A pair of bright eyes, black, as if they were diamonds, were so pure that they looked like water from a spring. A delicate, thin, beautiful nose. Peach-colored cheeks that were pink. Those delicate cherry-colored lips. A skin as glowing and delicate as the purest jade ever seen, accompanied by a delicate body well graced and slender. A voluptuous body and voluptuous breasts capable of making any man fall in love with her. A perfect figure. Along with her slightly adjusted clothes to be able to move freely they could not hide her exceptional figure. She radiated an indescribable charm of elegance and nobility. He could even sense a sense of loneliness in her. It was only that her temperament was icy, causing the general temperature around her to plummet. A young woman with incredible devastating beauty who could bring down cities.

In the moonlight, it demonstrated that she was truly an immortal fairy who did not belong to this lower plane.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" A heavenly, charming but icy voice came from her delicate lips, as she frowned and showed a cold and disgusted expression. Even his voice was like a clear mountain spring.

Ling Tian quickly came out of his daze as he looked into her eyes with a weak smile and said: "The same thing I could say ... someone slaying demon beasts at this time of night, wouldn't that be strange ...?"

The icy woman was internally stunned to see Ling Tian looking directly into her eyes.

All the men who had seen her in the past always looked at her body with a burning gaze and eyes that looked like beasts and showed lust. However, this young man in front of her, only looked at her body briefly and, although she could see that he was surprised, he immediately looked directly into her eyes. His black, pearly eyes were calm and pure, as if there were no sign of obscenity or desire within him.

Without her noticing it, her heart beat once with much vigor before calming down and, her soul felt at ease with him ... she even had an unnoticed joy...

Ling Tian did not realize the unnoticed reaction of his own soul either...

Her surface was still cold as always: "There is a lot of space to do what you want. You don't have to be near me."

The woman turned around, starting to walk away from Ling Tian.

"Are you going to leave the bodies of these demon beasts here?" Ling Tian realized that she had killed these demon beasts, but she left without doing anything.

The cold woman didn't answer or stop.

"You want to become stronger to control your own life, right?"

The cold woman stopped her steps when she was stunned to hear what Ling Tian said. She slowly turned around and looked at him coldly.

Ling Tian raised his eyebrows and smiled at her calmly, while he thought to himself: 'I know those eyes, that look shows that you are looking for the strength to be able to decide your own destiny. I have seen many people like that who seek power, only with different objectives, whether for good or for bad. Even me. I was like that too, seeking the higher cultivation and having the strength to protect my loved ones and not lose anyone again. That pain, I never wanted to experience again.'

Ling Tian moved toward the corpses of the demon beasts that lay in the earth, as he crouched and inspected.

The icy woman saw only Ling Tian inspecting the bodies. Though it seemed strange to her, she said nothing. If he didn't say anything else, she would leave. She only stayed because of the last thing he said.

'Mmm, she really does have some experience in hunting demon beasts, although I can tell by the wounds that she had a hard time killing them, but this must be because it is her own skill. I'm sure she's worked hard to get experience in this.'

He released his spiritual sense and saw that there was a demon beast near where they were.

Ling Tian stood up and said, "Come with me for a moment, I need to check something..." He turned around and started walking.

The cold woman frowned and said: "Why do you think I would go with you?"

Ling Tian stopped and shook his head towards her while saying indifferently, "It's your choice to come or not, I'm not forcing you... Besides, if I wanted to do something to you, I would have done it before and I wouldn't have made any noise to let you know that I was nearby". He turned his head and kept walking.

The cold woman was slightly surprised when she saw Ling Tian's indifference. She hesitated for a moment but then began to follow Ling Tian.
