The Way of The Dao



* Boom! *

An explosion in the middle of the battlefield shattered and shook the place!

The various cultivators who were fighting each other suddenly stopped as they were pushed back several meters. A heavy aura that even severely damaged the weaker ones caused them to pay full attention to what had just happened.

"What's going on?"

"An enemy attack?"

"Was it from us?"

"Hey! Assemble again!"

The respective leaders gave their orders quickly, trying to rally their teammates. This aura far exceeded their cultivation levels!

Two large groups of over 20 people formed, while other small groups remained in the distance.

The dust rose quickly, but descended slowly. Everyone could see that in the midst of the mess and dust, a slender figure was standing. But no one could see its clothing, know whether it was a man or woman, much less see its face.

However, the figure of this presence sent some shivers down their spines.

"Is it a... boy?"

"That guy is a kid who's barely growing up?!"

"How could he display such a terrifying aura! Could he be a powerful expert?"

"That aura belongs to a Nascent Soul expert!"

Murmurs started when Ling Tian's figure finally came into view. Simple but elegant clothing, black upper tunic, white pants, medium long hair down to the base of his neck, a perfect masculine countenance so beautiful and charming, all this made this young man so perfect, especially towards women, while making men feel inferior.

This figure even exuded airs of a young grandmaster!

Ling Tian calmly looked around, quickly counting approximately over fifty cultivators near him and were divided into two main groups. Other smaller groups were further back, probably wanting to fish in the dangerous waters or pick up leftovers.

"Heh~"

Ling Tian snorted lightly with a slight smirk before he turned around and started taking all the spiritual grasses, storing them one by one in each jade container. He only released a small sliver of the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures aura that seemed to belong to an average Nascent Soul expert as he landed hard to attract attention. If he didn't demonstrate a strong bearing, then they wouldn't let him take all these spiritual grasses in peace.

If they were smart enough, then they would be able to keep their lives.

"Hey! That kid wants to take the whole divine garden for himself!"

Hearing this, the corner of Ling Tian's lips lifted a little higher. Despite this, his hands did not stop and continued to take every spiritual grass.

"Hey! This kid wants to easily take for what we've been planning!"

"But that aura that came out is very scary! Isn't he a Nascent Soul expert?"

"Yes..."

"Nonsense! How can that kid be a Nascent Soul expert? He hasn't even grown his hair all the way out! He's just a little white face! Maybe he has a very powerful middle-grade spiritual artifact that made us think he's a great expert!"

"You're right! If not, why isn't he still not expelling that terrifying aura from a few moments ago? He just wants to make us think he's an expert!"

"Don't let him take the divine garden all to himself!"

A small resentful murmur gathered and quickly infected several minds, focusing on Ling Tian as they watched him gather the spiritual grasses as if they were not there. A fury and rage gripped each of the cultivators as they watched them being ignored by a mere arrogant boy who looked like he hadn't even fully grown up and didn't put them in his eyes.

The leaders of both main groups looked at each other and came to an unspoken agreement with their gazes. If they let a third party take the loot, then all their efforts would have been in vain. They would rather fight with blood and sweat and win most of the loot than leave it to a boy.

Ling Tian did not even turn to look when several figures had already thrown themselves at him. As they say, animals die for food while humans die for riches. They did not appreciate the opportunity they had to preserve their lives, so they had to be prepared to face the consequences.

In addition, to avoid most annoyances and troubles, Ling Tian covered his body with the aura of Sacred Heavenly Scriptures, preventing anyone from thoroughly observing his body and seeing his destroyed meridians, thus preventing them from attacking him always thinking he was a mere cripple. It would also be impossible to measure his cultivation level, so it would save him a lot of trouble.

But this still didn't work with such idiots, brainless cultivators.

More than 10 figures had approached Ling Tian, while several martial skills and attacks had already been launched towards him without warning. If this guy had the guts to be too arrogant and ignore them, then he would have to be prepared for the consequences!

* Boom! *

* Rumble~! *

Space exploded fiercely as the martial skills reached several meters near Ling Tian and exploded at the same time, shaking the place.

The bolder cultivators had come close enough and also launched their most powerful attacks, not being considerate in leaving Ling Tian alive. And then, they stood still as they saw the smoke that had been created, with many rocks and pieces of land falling in all directions.

Even a great Nascent Soul expert would not come out unscathed from this set of attacks!

"Other guys would have let you go despite having done this, but I'm not that soft!"

The next moment, a cold yet extremely calm and indifferent voice resounded throughout the place, causing the hearts of everyone present to tremble while the pupils of those in front shrank sharply.

Ling Tian's figure reappeared at first glance after the dust settled, but this stopped most of the breaths when they saw him. Ling Tian was still carefully picking at the spiritual grass without any apparent disturbance, as if the attacks moments ago had not touched him. There wasn't even a scratch on his clothes!

This made the cultivators in front decide to flee without a second thought. This guy wasn't just a Nascent Soul expert, he might even be a Body Condensation state expert!

Although the thought that he might have a powerful defensive artifact crossed their minds, just seeing him unharmed induced terror in them. His defensive artifact could defend him from such an attack, so it would only be a waste of effort. But if he had no defensive device, it was much worse.

Just the thought that he might be a Body Condensation great expert made all the hairs on their bodies bristle. An expert should not be taunted and scorned like this!

"Where do you think you're going, I gave you permission to leave after you attacked me? Do you think I'm a soft persimmon?"

Ling Tian's terrifying voice quickly spread in the place as several cultivators had already started to move to escape. No one wanted to stay in this place for a second longer.

* Slash! *

* Slash! *

* Slash! *

Successive slashes of a sword being unsheathed were heard instantly, as if the mere sound of unsheathing was integrated with the air itself and created a sound of death.

The 10+ cultivators near Ling Tian were fiercely slashed in an instant, turning them into dust!

Even their Golden Cores momentarily glowed for a second before exploding and turning into dust, leaving no traces or footprints but more than just dust that was quickly swept away by the wind!

The [Sword Domain] had been activated for a while now, preventing the previous weak attacks from touching Ling Tian. They didn't even last a split second before they were shattered.

Ling Tian expanded the range of his domain and easily killed all of these Golden Core stage cultivators without the need to move.

Stony silence ruled the place again, looking terrifyingly at Ling Tian as he saw that he had slaughtered several of his companions in an instant. A Nascent Soul cultivator could not make such a move, so the only thought that flooded their minds was that this boy's cultivation level was higher.

A monstrous young expert in the Body Condensation State!
