The Way of The Dao

"Looks like we are close, the crane has started to sparkle."

Ling Tian said after opening his eyes and seeing the slight change in the crane leading the way to the Feng family home. He came out of his state of concentration and glanced around.

A little over 5 days had passed since they had arrived in the Heaven territory, flying in a certain direction as they passed through several territories of various powerful families or first level sects it seemed.

Soon, they could notice several tall and well-designed buildings. The imposing mountains around them gave the view like a fortress, the peaks even seemed to transmit energy to the center of the territory while the whole place looked like an immortal place.

A thick layer of Chi spirit surrounded the place, proving that the place was a blessed area to cultivate deeply.

"This place compares to the territory where we have our home. Although it is still far away compared to the spiritual energy, it is still a first-rate place to cultivate." Shin Wei said as he felt the amount of spirit Chi in this place.

"Yeah." Xuanyuan Ling nodded at Shin Wei's comment.

"My cultivation base has slightly increased." Li Fengyuan exclaimed shortly after as she cultivated for a moment, feeling the great difference in spiritual energy and sensing the advancement and growth of her power. She had also stabilized much of her power these days, so her foundation was becoming increasingly solid and strong.

"But there is no immortal ascension call, is there?" Ling Tian listened to the comments and then looked at Shin Wei. In a place with so much natural Chi spirit increased the chance of feeling the immortal ascension call.

Shin Wei closed his he eyes as he tried to raise his power to the limit quietly and without fuss.

"I don't feel the call, Master. It's just like in our world, there is no feeling towards immortal ascension."

Shin Wei shook his head soon after, replying to Ling Tian.

Li Fengyuan and Xuanyuan Ling listened in silence. Li Fengyuan learned that Shin Wei's true cultivation was at the peak of the Great Ascension realm, so he had reached the opportunity to feel the call of immortal ascension and ascend to the legendary Immortal World!

Although Ling Tian told her that he was actually crippled and only relied on his body strength due to body refinement, Li Fengyuan understood that this Master of hers had a special circumstance and that he might have a way to cultivate in a very different way after everything she witnessed. Li Fengyuan was certain that Ling Tian should also have a very high power and comparable to the Great Ascension realm.

"Restrictions are common all over the world, because everyone might have the opportunity to ascend and break the balance. But that doesn't mean there shouldn't be complete and permanent restrictions, there must be a problem with the existential planes and world laws..."

Ling Tian thought deeply, holding his chin and slightly tilting his head to the side.

Why were there restrictions on feeling the call of immortal ascension?

Even Shin Wei thought about this, wondering how Ling Tian could have ascended in the past if it was supposed to be impossible?

Since Ling Tian was in the Immortal realm, he did not hear of people ascending to the world, so it puzzled him for a while and he thought it was temporary.

After cultivating and reaching the top, Ling Tian looked for his disciples and acquaintances who could ascend, but unfortunately he encountered the news that in thousands of years no one had been able to ascend to the Immortal realm, leaving him with more doubts and questions.

So how was it that he was able to ascend to the Immortal realm if it was supposed to be impossible?

Ling Tian could find no reason other than being the possessor of the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures, which at that time had not been manifested, let alone unlocked. Thus, he had the only chance to be able to ascend, although that immortal ascension call almost cost him his life due to crossing the catastrophe of the Great Ascension realm...

Now, not only the Heavenly Earth Continent world where he came from had restriction to ascend, this Heavenly Sun Continent world also had restrictions, confirming to Ling Tian that apparently, all cultivation worlds, or worlds in the middle existential plane did not have immortal ascension calls to the Immortal realm.

The same was true of divine ascension in the Immortal realm; one could not ascend to the divine plane that Ling Tian knew about and everyone did not know about. Even the Supremes had only hypotheses and conjectures that there was a higher plane than theirs, being the supposed territory of the Gods. 

Soon they could appreciate more of the buildings of the place, approaching a huge entrance where there were several people guarding it, probably the guards of the Feng family.

The crane that was shining brighter and brighter in the sky and guiding them, burst into spiritual energy once it reached the place, as if it had accomplished its mission.

The shuttle they were traveling in descended directly before reaching the entrance. The guards could notice this shuttle from the sky, so they kept an eye out for these new arrivals.

"Identify yourselves!"

One of the guards said loudly, maintaining an indifferent but still questioning expression. His gaze scanned the foursome of them quickly.

"We've come to see old Ye. This is a token he gave me."

Ling Tian said calmly as he handed over the token Feng Ye had given him, which would inform him of their arrival and they too could pass through calmly.

The guard furrowed his brow as he listened to Ling Tian's direction to Feng Ye. Who would dare to call the ancestor of the Feng family in such a manner? Didn't they know the importance and status of a family ancestor? Not just anyone could see them!

On the verge of scolding Ling Tian, the guard quickly noticed the token Ling Tian handed him and was dumbfounded.

"Maximum Prestige Guest Token!"

The guard was stunned for a few seconds before recomposing himself and looking at Ling Tian and the others again, this time, in his gaze with a hint of respect! He didn't even dare to look down at Ling Tian as he realized that he was a cripple!

"I will let the patriarch know about your arrival, so my comrade will take you to the waiting courtyard so you can meet the patriarch if they are available!"

The guard signaled one of his fellows and quickly instructed him before disappearing from the place carrying the token in his hands.

"Respected guests, please follow me. I will guide you to the place where you can quietly wait for the patriarch while we take care of reporting to him."

Another guard approached and clasped his fists respectfully, there being no sign of contempt or arrogance towards them.

"Thank you, then lead the way, we will follow."

Ling Tian nodded slightly and they began to follow the guard, passing through the entrance and entering the Feng family's territory, looking at every building, pavilion, courtyards, houses and so on.

"There must be a Chi gathering formation in this place, so after so long it has become a land of enchantment." Ling Tian looked at the surroundings before saying. Even he could feel that this place was much better compared to low level places in the Immortal realm.

People looked at them curiously, with their gazes mostly on Ling Tian. From young women to adults looked fascinated and infatuated with Ling Tian, gazing at him endlessly due to his bearing and face.

"I can't see some people's cultivation levels..." Li Fengyuan whispered as she looked at several people, unable to see their cultivation base. It should be noted that she is already a cultivator at the Body Condensation realm!

"It's normal. We are in the territory with the best spiritual energy and to add, with everything we have heard this family seems to be one of the top families in the world. It would be strange if their cultivation bases were low." Ling Tian said casually, glancing slightly at the designs of the buildings before losing interest.

Even the guard carrying them had a cultivation in the Body Condensation state! While a cultivator in the state of Body Condensation could be elder, patriarch or ancestor in the Peace Firmament Region territory!

"It seems we are not the only guests." Shin Wei raised his eyebrow at the sight of fin group of people clearly different from the rest, wearing clothes and robes of different design and with other types of symbols.

"Body Condensation State and Reunion And Separation State..." Xuanyuan Ling was even slightly surprised to see a group of people with appearances of 30 years old on average.

"They are most likely from other families." Ling Tian glanced at them all at once before retracting his gaze and continuing to look at the surroundings, as if for the best. It was not uncommon for some families to visit or meet with other families; these could chat about business, truces, pacts, cooperations, engagements and more...

The group of people also noticed Ling Tian's group and were surprised to see their cultivation levels, especially not being able to see Shin Wei's level. Ling Tian was ignored once they realized that he was a cripple, except for some women who looked disappointed to see such a handsome young man being a waste while others hesitated whether to continue to put their interest in him.

"This is the waiting and resting place for guests of the highest prestige. Please make yourselves at home and anything ask our maids, they will fulfill your requests without any problem."

Shortly after going some distance and going deeper and deeper into the place, the guard led them to a very luxurious and spacious personal courtyard. Several young maids stood respectfully and bowed respectfully to Ling Tian and the others.

"Can we go out for a look if we get bored?" Quickly, Shin Wei asked.

"Of course! You can ask the maids to give you a tour of the whole place!" The guard nodded respectfully.

"Thank you." Shin Wei thanked and the guard quickly withdrew.

"Is there anything we can serve you in? Would you like to drink wine, tea? Would you like some massage?"

The maidservants approached and asked respectfully. Each of them looked so beautiful and attractive, with spectacular beauties and with young faces and wonderful bodies.

For some reason, Li Fengyuan and Xuanyuan Ling came slightly closer to Ling Tian, interposing themselves between him and the maidservants. Shin Wei was behind them and was a little surprised before laughing inwardly.

"For me some tea is fine. I don't know what you guys will order?" Ling Tian didn't notice the movement of both women as he casually replied and looked around the luxurious courtyard.

"I want wine!" Shin Wei said with a smile as he calmed down inwardly.

"Just tea."

"Same."

Xuanyuan Ling replied and Li Fengyuan added right away. Both women asked for the same as Ling Tian.

Several maids bowed before leaving to fetch the drinks while some stayed in case another request came up. Li Fengyuan and Xuanyuan Ling frowned looking at these maidservants, they still maintained a sort of protectiveness over Ling Tian.

In the next moment, the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures inside Ling Tian shook briefly!

"This familiar feeling..."

Without the need for the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures to remind him, Ling Tian also felt that mysterious and light imperceptible energy very close. A dumbfounded expression was painted on his face.

"Master, is something wrong?" Shin Wei noticed this and asked with concern. It was one of the few times he saw Ling Tian like this! It was very rare for Ling Tian to express his emotions easily or even encounter something that surprised him a lot!

Xuanyuan Ling and Li Fengyuan looked at Ling Tian as well.

"You guys stay here in case Old Ye comes!"

The next moment, Ling Tian disappeared from the place.
