The Way of The Dao

The first rays of the sun covered Ling Tian's body.

A faint low groan could not help but escape from Ling Tian when a powerful pressure burst out at once and wanted to destroy his body, almost completely stopping his movements.

But Ling Tian held on and still continued, forcing himself to go ahead and complete this series of mysterious movements!

Drops of sweat soon descended down Ling Tian's head and neck, covering his entire back like a waterfall and wetting his clothes; everyone could quickly see that Ling Tian's body was filled with abundant sweat, as if he had just finished bathing.

His body was shaking but he still continued on, feeling an extremely pure light energy coming towards him and tempering his entire body, from the skin, organs and bones, to each and every one of his cells.

Every time more and more of the sun's rays came, the pressure on Ling Tian increased greatly. The ground Ling Tian stepped on cracked slightly every time he took a step, proving that there was indeed great pressure on his body.

"It's here!" Ling Tian opened his eyes and could visualize in the distance that a faint wisp of purple energy was coming along with the sun's rays, specifically heading towards where he was.

Purple Chi!

A mysterious essence of the purest energy that came from the universe itself!

Ling Tian knew this Purple Chi perfectly well, which was precisely why he was shocked at this moment. If one could absorb even a sliver of this pure energy, the ability for cultivation would soar incredibly, even going from being a waste to a genius overnight, being able to reach heaven in a single step!

Thousands of immortal cultivators would kill without hesitation to obtain this purple energy Chi!

One could imagine what a wonderful opportunity this Purple Chi brought with it....

But how could the legendary Purple Chi appear in this small world?

Ling Tian's movements became more rigorous, causing the purple wisp to move a little faster as well. This confirmed to Ling Tian that the movements he made attracted this kind of energy essence! The situation of the small world still slightly attracted the energy of the universe for its growth, especially since this world had its own spirit, therefore, this would be a more reasonable explanation when thinking about the probability of the Purple Chi appearing along with the series of movements he made.

Ling Tian gritted his teeth as he felt a terrifying pressure pushing him down!

Then, everyone realized that a strange, small purple-colored mist descended from the sky and headed towards Ling Tian.

Ling Tian fiercely threw a punch towards the front when the Purple Chi covered his body. He prevented a low gasp from escaping and quickly swung his leg and stomped, exuding an air of superiority and grandeur at this moment!

Purple energy mysteriously covered Ling Tian's body, and when he threw another punch with his other hand, the pressure he felt was greatly reduced. If he focused completely on body and mind when making these movements, Ling Tian discovered that the pressure would reduce in several folds. Oddly enough, punching and kicking movements should be performed at this time, as if all was contemplated.

Essentially understanding a large part of this, Ling Tian snorted and his movements became more firm and vigorous, moving with arrogance and majesty!

His Consciousness Sea shook, his Dantian and Meridians were covered by the mysterious Purple energy, even the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures could not help but shake slightly and only absorbed a small portion of this energy!

The Purple Chi automatically flowed inside his entire body, performing several cycles of cultivation without the need for him to do so and with out using his meridians in his body.

No one spoke and they just watched Ling Tian's every detail, observing how that strange purple energy surrounded him and formed a thin layer all over his body. His movements also became slightly faster, exuding a pressure that was beginning to be felt all around him.

"Isn't this the legendary Purple Chi?" Shin Wei unconsciously whispered as he recalled a vague piece of information he had read long ago. This caused several to turn to look at him, wanting him to explain about what they were witnessing.

The martial brothers looked at Shin Wei. Among all of them, Shin Wei was the one who liked to read and learn things the most, seeking all kinds of knowledge in his spare time so that he could answer even the deepest doubts.

"You're right, this is the Purple Chi." Jiu Ming nodded, just as surprised at this point. She had more information than Shin Wei could have found. After all, she had lived a long time in the immortal realm and the knowledge was greater than in cultivation worlds.

Jiu Ming gathered the information she had and shared it through spirit sense. That way, everyone could understand a little bit of what this Purple Chi was.

"Is he trying to repair his meridians using this amazing Chi?" Xuanyuan Ling asked upon learning about the Purple Chi, observing Ling Tian without missing any details.

"Most likely." Shin Wei shook his head and said, "Although I don't have much information about this legendary Purple Chi, I only know that it is something very beneficial to one's cultivation. Master should know more about it since he is doing those moves as well." His mind worked fast and he was able to comprehend much of it in Ling Tian, knowing what he was probably doing.

"But about that pressure he transmits..." Shin Wei didn't know about the pressure Ling Tian was experiencing and it was starting to expand and felt all over the place as well, as if the air was starting to go short.

Sun Xiang's spirit sense reached out and moved towards Ling Tian, wanting to see the mystery of this Purple Chi.

* Boom! *

However, the moment his spirit sense touched the Purple Chi and Ling Tian's body, a horrible pressure traveled through the spirit sense and exploded in his body!

Sun Xiang spat out a trail of blood as he fell heavily on one knee and quickly cut off his spirit sense. His breathing became agitated, with his organs having been shaken by the violent force. Cracks spread over the entire ground where Sun Xiang stood. Even that force had repelled Hao Zhentian and the other three several meters back. Because they were far away and somewhat apart, the others were unaffected.

But this caused everyone else to stupefyingly look at Sun Xiang as he was injured just by using his spirit sense! Some wanted to take a closer look but refrained from doing so. If Sun Xiang, who was a powerhouse at the Great Ascension level was injured just by observing with his spirit sense, then all of them might be further injured and even die...

Even Ling Tian couldn't help but glance sideways at Sun Xiang as he sensed the turbulence around him. When he confirmed that he was fine, Ling Tian again continued to focus on what he was doing.

"Are you okay, brother?" Ying Chen walked over and helped lift Sun Xiang up. His spirit sense didn't notice anything on the surface of his body and calmed down a bit.

Smiling bitterly, Sun Xiang wiped the trace of blood that came out of his mouth and said, "I'm fine, it's not a serious wound, I'll recover quickly. I didn't think that would happen..." He took out a healing pill from his storage ring and began to heal the internal wounds he got.

Although it was not a serious wound, they were worried because it had been a long time since they were really injured due to their strength and experiences, with the chances of being injured in battle decreasing drastically.

The looks that fell on Ling Tian contained traces of shock, astonishment and fear, realizing that he has been enduring all this for a while and one of his disciples was easily injured in an instant.

A change was felt at once, with the purple cloak on Ling Tian's body disappearing, as if entering through his skin while his movements became faster and heavier.

"Ugh!" Ling Tian grunted as he felt a limit and was unable to continue, being left with a strange position to throw one last punch. An unimaginable pressure similar to when he was being suppressed in the last battle restricted every muscle in his body!

Although on one hand he felt that this series of moves was already finished, feeling similar to when he finished and completed all the steps of the various martial skills, Ling Tian had an intuition that he had to make one more move! 

The little information he had was that once it was done, he could feel that mysterious boundary and when the time ended along with the complete disappearance of the Purple Chi, his body would undergo great changes.

But Ling Tian felt that he had to finish making the last move and break through that boundary!

He didn't want to stay like that without finishing! He wanted to move forward and break through that boundary!

His body moved a little, straining every muscle in him the more he felt that pressure wanting to crush him and stop him.

Ling Tian became annoyed and roared inwardly for the first time since a long time that this feeling of powerlessness had disappeared in something, especially when he was up against an obstacle, battles and more. Exerting great effort, his arm made a flexible arc and he tried to finally throw a punch.

Instantly, a powerful and mysterious energy burst within Ling Tian and he faced and exploded against the suffocating pressure, fighting it off when a huge figure emerged from Ling Tian's body and formed, carrying a familiar roar that spread throughout the world!

All traces of Purple Chi disappeared and the sun finally rose.
