The Way of The Dao



A slender but mysteriously attractive silhouette under a tree stood silently for a long time. No noise or movement could be noticed from the figure. Only the beautiful white dress with small golden strips fluttered slightly in the faint wind along with the beautiful black hair that descended to the lower back. A sheathed sword hung at the side of the slender waist.

Sunlight fell quietly on the spot, but unable to break through the lush, gigantic tree to reach this figure.

Suddenly, a strong gust of wind suddenly crossed over, briefly rattling the leafy branches of the tree as the next moment a leaf fell slowly but delicately, floating briefly in the air.

* Swoosh! *

A brief gasp was heard and the next moment Li Fengyuan's eyes instantly widened as the small leaf was at her eye level. Her sharp aura moved slightly, slicing the small leaf into pieces in a fraction of seconds before falling to pieces on the ground!

"It's still not enough..." Li Fengyuan let out a sigh when she saw the severed pieces of the leaf on the ground. She didn't even need to pull out her sword to do this, with just the force of her own aura she cut this small leaf.

But any expert cultivator who saw her at this moment would be amazed at what Li Fengyuan had done.

Managing to attack with pure aura of her own without any special technique or move!

Even her aura alone could seriously injure Great Ascension experts!

"I am still very weak. I couldn't even sense any hint of Master's aura..." But Li Fengyuan shook her head, feeling that she hadn't made much progress.

Li Fengyuan could remember when she was with Ling Tian fighting that middle-aged man in the mysterious realm. She hadn't even sensed any hint of aura coming from Ling Tian, but those attacks and movement clearly contained a type of mysterious sword energy in them.

"The powerful sword intent." Li Fengyuan whispered as she thought of this powerful but mysterious force.

Sword intent is the path that all swordsmen pursue throughout their lives!

It is a powerful force that can cut through everything in its path even without the need for a powerful spiritual weapon!

At the pinnacle of this path, one sword can slash all the heavens in half and destroy an entire universe!

This was the information Ling Tian had transmitted to her earlier!

"Master, where are you..."

When Li Fengyuan recalled this, she couldn't help but think of Ling Tian again. It had been a little over a month since they had no contact from him. Even the Feng family's ancestor, Feng Ye, sent several cultivators to look for news of them, but none had found any clues of them.

Despite this, Li Fengyuan concentrated on learning and fully studying the sword techniques and skills that Ling Tian had taught her. Li Fengyuan returned to the Feng family from the mysterious realm, so now she was in her own personal courtyard arduously cultivating in the Feng family home.

* Clap! * * Clap! *

Suddenly, some clapping brought Li Fengyuan out of her thoughts. She frowned slightly before turning her gaze around.

"You will truly become a great swordswoman in the future who will be unrivaled!"

Feng Zhiyun's surprised but sincere voice was heard at once. Feng Zhiyun's expression had a trace of surprise and joy at the sight of Li Fengyuan, as if her level of proficiency was a great achievement for her as well. Feng Zhiyun clapped her hands briefly as she continued to sit near the small tea table in the courtyard person of Li Fengyuan.

After a long time of cultivation and regaining her full vitality and lost strength, Feng Zhiyun regained her former beauty, but by cultivating the special technique Ling Tian gave her, as well as reforming and fully controlling her power, her appearance became much more beautiful and perfect. Her long and striking bright silver-white hair made her an exotic and sexy beauty, even more so with her well-proportioned and perfect body once she regained all her vitality and vigor returning to her peak, even managing to make more progress.

"Young Lady Feng, don't you know that it is impolite to interrupt others in their cultivation practices or trainings?"

Li Fengyuan asked with a touch of seriousness and even some annoyance. Feng Zhiyun's sudden presence in these ways made her somewhat uncomfortable.

"Come on~. I only came to see how your progress is going with your sword moves!" Feng Zhiyun pouted as she saw Li Fengyuan's gaze.

"Did you come to look at my progress or to ask things related to my Master?" Li Fengyuan rolled her eyes slightly, "Besides, don't you have to cultivate to fully control your power?"

These past few days, the young lady from the Feng family has been coming to her personal courtyard without discretion and respect, asking her many questions specifically just so that she could know more about Ling Tian!

Since Li Fengyuan was fully concentrated on cultivating and so on, she did not notice Feng Zhiyun's presence sneaking into her personal courtyard. The Feng family is one of the leading families in the Heaven territory, so there wouldn't be much of a problem in concentrating on her cultivation completely.

"How can you think that about me? And just so you don't worry, I've already cultivated since early in the morning, so no problem! Hehe~" Feng Zhiyun stuck out her tongue mischievously upon hearing Li Fengyuan's words, behaving like a naughty girl.

Although she really wants to know more about Ling Tian, and the only way to know now is to ask Li Fengyuan after interrogating Di Ji, Feng Zhiyun honestly was amazed by Li Fengyuan's power. Li Fengyuan may not know it, but her aura alone can seriously injure a Great Ascension expert despite having a cultivation base at the Separation and Reunion realm. Even Feng Zhiyun was certain that she would not come out unscathed if she received Li Fengyuan's attack head-on despite breaking through to the Great Ascension state.

These past few days without realizing it, both women had become closer and talked often. Mostly Feng Zhiyun tried to get Li Fengyuan to talk to her about Ling Tian. Even she was curious as to how it was that Ling Tian wanted Li Fengyuan to be his Sword Maid, something that is very rare since almost no one accepts this kind of relationship.

"Besides, I've already told you many times that you can drop the courtesies with me, call me Sister Yun! Or at least Zhiyun!" Feng Zhiyun smiled a little more as she looked at Li Fengyuan before her expression turned cheeky saying, "Or you can call me Mistress too, after all I will be your Master's wife!" Feng Zhiyun's gaze shone brightly at the mention in becoming Ling Tian's woman.

Li Fengyuan's face instantly turned dark. Li Fengyuan didn't know why, but every time Feng Zhiyun talked about Ling Tian and mentioned what would happen in the future about becoming her Master's woman, Li Fengyuan became very irritated!

"As far as I know, Master already has a wife. So don't you think it would be impossible to notice you?"

Li Fengyuan scoffed, but inside she felt strange as she remembered that Ling Tian had a wife. Although it was Feng Zhiyun herself who told her, the few things Li Fengyuan knows about Ling Tian, she was sure that he shouldn't have lied. Ling Tian also didn't seem like the kind of man who would say such things to show off.

"So what?" Feng Zhiyun smiled confidently and assuredly, "Don't you know that great and powerful worthy men can have more than one woman?!"

Li Fengyuan's complexion darkened again. Her eyes fixed on Feng Zhiyun.

"Although on one hand I feel very bad for the woman who is Ling Tian's partner, I won't give up! He... he's really amazing!" Feng Zhiyun's gaze became dignified as she thought of the lucky woman who is Ling Tian's wife. Although a moral part of her felt bad about trying to steal the man of this woman she did not even know, Feng Zhiyun was not going to give up. After all she witnessed and experienced, how could any man other than Ling Tian enter her eyes?

If either Ling Tian rejected her, then she would remain single for the rest of her life!

Besides, when Ling Tian helped her restore and control her power, it was somehow a kind of dual cultivation that Feng Zhiyun would never forget! Only her future and only husband would be the one with whom Feng Zhiyun would perform dual cultivation! Moreover, she gave him her first kiss!

This wonderful and perfect man, as young as she was and amazing in every way, could never be forgotten in life!

Somehow, Li Fengyuan had the same thoughts like Feng Zhiyun: from that moment when Ling Tian had helped Feng Zhiyun in her cultivation, Li Fengyuan knew that Ling Tian would at least be a supreme existence that would be above the heavens. Even the possibility of him being a true immortal came to her mind!
