The Way of The Dao

The birds sang sweet melodies, the flowers bloomed an indescribable landscape, the clouds painted the vast sky, and the beautiful sun shone all over with a feeling of happiness and joy on this day.

Ling Tian looked at each of them, feeling that he really couldn't describe everything he was feeling at this moment.

Remembering some traditions and customs in his ancient world, Ling Tian took out some small but delicate and magnificent rings with different gems and crystals.

The voice of the Master of Ceremony was heard throughout the place, saying splendid words and reciting the special phrases and verses to bless the union of these people.

Ling Tian held Mu Shuiruo's trembling tender little hand, feeling her shyness and happiness overflowing from her body and the nerves of happiness of this moment. Even her blushing through her veil made her much more innocent and lovely, causing Ling Tian to let out a small laugh at the sight of her and enjoy her peace and tranquility, her tenderness and pure sweetness that she conveyed to him. Gently, Ling Tian placed a thin, delicate and beautiful ring with a green emerald on its surface on Mu Shuiruo's ring finger, causing her sweet and gentle heart to race even faster with happiness and shyness.

Why was this feeling he felt so deep and impossible to describe?

Long Yuyin's soft and little hand reached out as it was grasped by Ling Tian. He could feel the pride and above all the happiness radiating from her at this moment, making him feel equally happier and prouder of this special moment in his life and theirs. Her proud and beaming smile showed that, with him by her side, Long Yuyin could split the sky as well. Ling Tian felt her delicate skin and a dainty ring with a beautiful crystal diamond slipped it on her ring finger in the same way, making Long Yuyin's smile wider and happier with a blush as well.

How could there be such a mysterious and inexplicable feeling deep inside him that was constantly growing?

Ling Tian reached out and took Zhang Xinya's silky thin little hand, feeling the warmth on her skin and blending into his body, as if inciting him to ignite his inner fire. Ling Tian could notice Zhang Xinya's flirtatious smile and seductive gaze through the veil, as she performed an imperceptible pose and lifted a small part of her dress as she moved her leg, allowing only Ling Tian to look at part of her white, smooth and sexy thigh. Ling Tian grinned with a wicked touch at the sight of this flirtatious and seductive woman of his as he was slipping on her ring finger an exquisite and striking ring with a precious passionate ruby on its surface. Zhang Xinya's flirtatious smile widened further in obvious joy while happiness was also completely covering her.

Was it really just a deep feeling he had as well as the others?

As he took Tang Wanying's lovely and graceful little hand, she sent out a feeling of understanding and thoughtfulness, a feeling of wisdom as he watched this wise and perceptive, yet playful woman of his as well. Tang Wanying also looked at him with a bright and mischievous look, but still with a feeling full of love and happiness in her pure eyes, expressing and giving him her heart and her whole being. A gorgeous and magnificent ring with a beautiful glowing amber on it gently was slipped on her ring finger, making this woman smile much more and she couldn't help but want to pounce on him.

In such a short time could such a deep, unbreakable and special bond be created between them?

Finally, Ling Tian took Yun Mengxin's soft, delicate and elegant little hand. This woman who was cold as eternal ice but only to him would she demonstrate her sweetest, warmest and most tender innermost sanctum of her heart.

The connection between the two was instantly "activated", sensing the diverse and endless feelings between them.

Under the exquisite veil, Yun Mengxin smiled softly and lovingly at him, sharing her feelings to Ling Tian and demonstrating her infinite love for him. Ling Tian was slightly entranced and stunned as he appreciated and looked at her beautiful smile and gaze, that feeling he got from looking at her, his soul gently resonated with Yun Mengxin's soul, creating a perfect blend of harmony in love between the two of them.

Holding her soft hand, a delicate and precious ring with an elegant blue sapphire embedded in it slowly slipped on her ring finger as indescribable and endless feelings like the sea poured between the two of them. The happiness and love in Yun Mengxin's eyes grew and intensified deeply, making Ling Tian smile happily as he looked at her and felt her feelings as well.

The women never took their eyes off Ling Tian's intense and magical jet black eyes, never losing eye contact as the happiness grew in each of them as they felt the gestures and rings Ling Tian personally put on them.

As an unspoken agreement, it was now the turn of the five women as they took Ling Tian's hand at the same time, surprising him a little when he saw them looking at him with smiles full of complicity and immediately saw that Yun Mengxin also took out an elegant and spectacular ring with a golden diamond, to finally all of them together slipped it on his ring finger as well.

Ling Tian blinked a few times in surprise and again smiled gratefully expressing love, knowing that Yun Mengxin might have also noticed the tradition from his other world where he grew up since he was little when they shared their souls and memories.

Ling Tian knew that more than a feeling of love between them, it was something deeper that could not be described; something beyond that could not be felt by anyone but them.

How was it that he could so easily open his heart to another woman after what he had experienced and lived through?

Especially with Yun Mengxin. She is the first woman with whom he finally shared his heart and she also allowed him to open his heart and accept Mu Shuiruo, Tang Wanying, Long Yuyin and Zhang Xinya....

Ling Tian felt that, if it was someone else, he might not be able to come to feel this love, let alone share his heart with someone else.

It only took three meetings, in three nights, in three moments, for Ling Tian and Yun Mengxin to mysteriously give their hearts to each other and undeniably unite their souls, unleashing endless unimaginable changes between them that even he or Yun Mengxin could not have imagined.

Was it so easy to connect with someone in such a way?

No!

How many women had he encountered or helped in the past with similar or even worse situations than Yun Mengxin and the other women?

Those women were willing to give him everything, whether in gratitude or out of infatuation, they even wanted to give him their purities as maidens and more. Anything they would give him for his help, and that, even though they were not as beautiful as these women of his in front of him, they were still great beauties that any man would find hard to refuse.

But with Yun Mengxin, Ling Tian didn't know how to explain it, from that moment on he couldn't even find a real explanation as to why he had accepted her...

Ling Tian knew that there was no barrier, impediment or anything to stop him from approaching Yun Mengxin on the third night. On the contrary, there seemed to be some expectation and feeling that urged him to get together and connect with Yun Mengxin!

Like a feeling from the past, a unforgettable bond deep in his soul!

Ling Tian was not the only one who was thinking about themselves.

Yun Mengxin, Mu Shuiruo, Tang Wanying, Long Yuyin and Zhang Xinya also reflected and thought about many things. How could they have easily agreed among all of them to share the same man?

No woman would like to share her man, but they did so without any grievances and even wanted to make Ling Tian happier, as if they wanted to give him all the happiness in the world!

If there was another unknown woman, it would most likely not be the same; as if there was something more to this friendship and sisterhood they had between all of them since they had known each other. It was as if they had the illusion of having met at some other time and their bonds as sisters were unforgettable.

And towards Ling Tian, it seemed that their hearts and souls were drawn to him without any resistance, even with longing and mysterious feelings.

How could they easily fall like an illusion, a dream before Ling Tian?

How could they have such deep and unimaginable feelings for him?

Although it seemed that Ling Tian's handsome and perfect countenance would be the main reason, each of them felt that there was something more in him, something much more important that attracted their souls and resonated with them, feeling that their hearts had finally complemented each other.

"Worship to heaven and earth!"

The Master of Ceremony's voice addressed the groom and brides, finally arriving at the step for the marriage union.

Ling Tian, Yun Mengxin, Mu Shuiruo, Tang Wanying, Long Yuyin and Zhang Xinya kowtowed to heaven and earth, showing respect and making heaven and earth witnesses to their union.

- "What is Dao?" -

Suddenly, a soft, unforgettable voice echoed deep within his soul. But this time, Ling Tian was not surprised by this and just smiled.

What is Dao?

If it was before, Ling Tian would have a diversity of answers for this. A knowledge so deep that he could find answers for almost everything under heaven.

Dao could be anything; Dao is everything in heaven and earth, Dao is endless, Dao is all.

But now, Ling Tian looked at his beloved women beside him who also returned those smiles full of happiness and love.

'Dao is my heart, my connection with them, my unforgettable bonds, my love for each of them... it is my heart itself... I am Dao, my own Dao.'

Dao has endless answers, but Ling Tian had finally found his own Dao, what Dao and everything else meant to him: The love he has for these women is his main bond and strength; his family.

"Worship the parents!"

Ling Tian, Yun Mengxin, Mu Shuiruo, Tang Wanying, Long Yuyin and Zhang Xinya kowtowed to Tang Zhi, Tang Wei, Yun Dong, Long Cheng, Zhang Ruoyan and Zhang Chao as a gesture of respect and gratitude as filial piety. They would also be Ling Tian's parents.

Although there were no blood relatives of Ling Tian, he still held his adoptive parents in his heart for the love they gave him, hoping that they would see him from heaven. Somehow, Ling Tian also thought and thanked his birth parents even though he still had no memory of them and only the deep feeling which was a love that could not be forgotten, it was more than enough to know that they are important to him.

- "Why do you want to be strong?" -

The same voice came up again, but this time, it asked a completely different question, surprising Ling Tian a little. This was the first time that voice had asked something else...

But putting aside his bewilderment, yes, why did he want to be strong?

Many people want to become strong because of various things: fame, riches, beauties and more. Many reasons for wanting to become strong, from real to stupid.

Ling Tian took Zhang Xinya and Tang Wanying's hands, his gaze rested on each of them, engraving every inch of them in his heart and further growing his love for them.

'Because I want to protect them. I wish for strength not to lose them and my whole family... I need the strength to make them happy and protect them at all costs.'

His main reason and perseverance to cultivate and become strong will always be the same and will never change: to care for and protect his loved ones.

"Worship each other!"

Ling Tian kowtowed to Yun Mengxin, Mu Shuiruo, Tang Wanying, Long Yuyin and Zhang Xinya. Likewise, all of them kowtowed to him, respecting and worshipping each other as real spouses.

A draft soon began to be felt, as if carrying a special feeling of warmth and joy, filling the place with happiness and love.

Finally, the ceremony would conclude and from now on they would be recognized as husband and wives.

- "This is your way?" -

The voice asked again while Ling Tian and the women were kowtowing to each other, as if looking to confirm his previous answer.

'Yes!'

Ling Tian did not hesitate and affirmed with his heart. He didn't care about wealth or fame, the only important thing to him is his loved ones: they are his being core, each and every one of them make up his heart, his being, the reason and motive for his own Dao.

Ling Tian took Yun Mengxin's soft little hand, exchanging glances as their hearts and souls continued to resonate unceasingly.

Instantly, the figures of a Dragon and Phoenix flew out of their bodies and flew into the sky, roaring and crying to each other as they intertwined and embraced as a couple!

However, these figures were imperceptible to people and only Ling Tian and Yun Mengxin could see them, but both of them paid no attention as their eyes saw the other. But mysteriously, Mu Shuiruo, Tang Wanying, Long Yuyin and Zhang Xinya also began to feel and see them!

They both felt a rush of deep and inexplicable feelings filling their hearts and further uniting their souls, as if transcending a mysterious threshold, a unique and special feeling.

Ling Tian's consciousness stirred and he finally understood something he was more or less already aware of.

'Now I know why you are so special to me, why my feelings for you are so inexplicable and deep, why I would give my life for you, why I would do anything to make you happy... why I love you so much.'

Ling Tian let out a soft smile, full of love, happiness and, above all, gratitude as he looked at Yun Mengxin. A slight drop of water peeked out of the corner of his eye as the emotions and feelings in his heart continued to rise, feeling that he is so lucky to have such a woman as his wife.

The deep unforgettable love of a lifetime can cross any boundary, never being forgotten in the course of time and always reaching every plane of space.

A love that will remain and blossom again in the next life when they finally meet again...

Ling Tian knew he had a past life with Yun Mengxin, and that bond was too deep, unfathomable and unforgettable to be so easily forgotten in one lifetime, reaching across space and time and causing the two to meet again and unite once more.

Although the love was from past lives, Ling Tian would create and form a new bond with Yun Mengxin in this life, making her happy and loving her much more than the past, with their new souls and current hearts. Yun Mengxin also felt the same as Ling Tian, wanting to love him immensely and be with him for all eternity.

Fate is always mysterious that no matter whether it was this life or in another life, Ling Tian was sure that he and Yun Mengxin would always meet. Whether it was sooner or later.

Soon, Ling Tian shifted his gaze and observed the four women beside him.

Although he had a special connection with Yun Mengxin because of their past lives, Ling Tian was not going to let that be an obstacle to loving these other wonderful women.

Somehow, Mu Shuiruo, Tang Wanying, Long Yuyin and Zhang Xinya also conveyed a familiar feeling to him like Yun Mengxin. An inexplicable bond that would never be forgotten.

He definitely must have also had some relationship with these women in his past life, although not a love relationship like with Yun Mengxin, but he definitely had some kind of close relationship with them.

A feeling inside him incited him, urged him to also love them and not to leave them aside, to try to love them deeply like Yun Mengxin. Ling Tian felt that this feeling contained many emotions, be it longing, gratitude, love and more, even a touch of nostalgia and regret, with the latter expressing an eager longing for him to accept them and make them happy too!

Still, Ling Tian did not plan to make them less because of his feeling with Yun Mengxin, on the contrary, he is going to love them much more and show them that he loves each and every one of them with all his heart and that they are very important to him as well.

The smiles of Yun Mengxin, Mu Shuiruo, Tang Wanying, Long Yuyin and Zhang Xinya showed Ling Tian their happiness and joy at this moment, more so now that they had become real husband and wife.

'I understand...' Ling Tian looked with immense love at each of them, feeling that life was so beautiful and joyful. Even the thought came to him of living a normal life with them, growing up together, having lots of children and living harmoniously until they were old. Such a full and satisfied life would not be bad at all...

Cultivation? Power? Immortality?

These things that for many were worship and desire, for Ling Tian was not as important as love for his wives, love for his loved ones.

Even he preferred to give up his strength that could shake the heavens, his immeasurable power that could destroy countless worlds, all that he had obtained in order to live happily with these wonderful women.

Nothing could match this feeling of love and union he felt in his heart.

"But neither one life nor two, let alone three will be enough..." Ling Tian whispered lovingly as he watched each pair of beautiful eyes gazing at him.

Ling Tian wanted to live forever with all of them, with his beloved wives, to live happily together for eternity and have his dreamed and longed for special big family. That's why he needed the strength, the power to protect them, to take care of them, to face all the dangers in the future, to stand on pinnacle once again!

If before he did it for those children, his beloved disciples who are also his family, now with much more reason he would do it since he has wives and his family had increased.

Even though his current power was gone, he didn't mind starting all over again!

He already walked that path and he would do it again!

What did it matter if the heavens wanted to take away the paths to the top?

He would find the solution to move forward!

No matter how many hurdles and obstacles he has to overcome along the way, even if he has to walk on the worst way!

He would keep moving forward without giving up, all for his loved ones, his family!

Fireworks exploded in the sky of Star City, music resounded in every corner, the joy in the atmosphere increased and congratulations and blessings rained down on the newlyweds.

The Dragon and the Phoenix danced mysteriously among the clouds in the sky above the place as celestial and legendary beings, reinforcing their own union as Ling Tian, Yun Mengxin, Mu Shuiruo, Tang Wanying, Long Yuyin and Zhang Xinya.

At once, a mystifying and subtle energy quickly pierced through the infinite void, traveling throughout the endless universe, carrying with it a mysterious force and finally falling upon Ling Tian.
