The Way of The Dao

Lan Yin and Shan Qingwu arrived in the Star City and approached the group of people who were on the main wall.

"Senior sisters." Shan Qingwu respectfully greeted the group of beautiful women who seemed to become more and more beautiful as time passed.

Yun Mengxin, Zhang Xinya, Tang Wanying, Long Yuyin, and Mu Shuiruo nodded to her when they saw the two of them arrive.

These girls were sitting down, regaining some of their energy.

If one looks closely, these 5 women also had their clothes slightly disheveled, the result of having been in a battle before.

Only Mu Shuiruo was not the same as her sisters, because she stayed in Star City to continue performing alchemy and making the pills for them. Sometimes she would also go out and join some of the girls to help against the demonic horde.

Lan Yin approached her big sisters as she sat down and took a pill to replenish the energy spent a few moments ago. Shan Qingwu also did the same and settled down, regaining her energy and trying to continue cultivating to increase her strength.

The City Lord, the patriarchs of the great families and other important people of the Star City were at the site discussing the next plan to be followed.

It could be said that only those who were cultivating were here.

Then Mu Shen and Tang Jingtian arrived. Their faces clearly looked a little tired as they tried to catch their breath.

"How is the situation on that side?" Tang Wei asked his son.

Tang Jingtian breathed several times before answering, "Brother Shen and I were able to eliminate the horde on that side, so our sector is clear."

Mu Shen next to him nodded.

"That gives us some space to be quiet. Thanks to the girls who also cleaned most of it, it has saved us a lot of work." Long Cheng breathed a sigh when he looked ahead to where several were fighting a large group of demonic beasts.

"This unusual increase in the appearance of these demon beasts has really not allowed us to rest even a little bit..."

"But because the girls have a high level of cultivation we can easily counteract all the hordes."

"We really have to raise our cultivation as much as we can..."

At this point, two women appeared and joined the group.

"Did something bad happen?" Zhang Ruoyan asked when she approached with Tang Zhi. She saw that the atmosphere was somewhat gloomy.

Zhang Chao shook his head and explained that they were only like this because they all felt weak compared to the immense strength of the girls.

"Has there been no news of little Tian?" Tang Zhi asked the girls with some worry: "It's been more than 4 months and we haven't seen him."

Ever since they learned that Ling Tian left this world, Star City has been in constant battle against indefinite demonic hordes appearing.

Star City was prepared and all inhabitants were granted the desired elixirs, which allowed most to reach the Legend rank and even some the legendary Divine rank.

As there was no time to start over, people decided to continue cultivating their ancient martial arts, which resulted in them only being able to reach the limit and stay in the Divine rank at the most.

Long Cheng and others were concerned about this, but since people decided for themselves not to want to give up their strength, he did not insist on this.

Only some, like Shan Qingwu and her family, decided to accept and renounce their strength, finally learning to cultivate to reach new heights.

Shan Qingwu's efforts were clearly remarkable, which surprised some that she was able to increase her level of cultivation in these few months, reaching the state of the Foundation Establishment and becoming one of the main supporting leaders of Star City.

It was clear that she had worked hard not to disappoint those who had high expectations in her.

Of course, Shan Qingwu was not alone in increasing her level of cultivation.

Yun Mengxin increased her power and was now in the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul.

Lan Yin had her divine damnation and successfully entered the realm of the Nascent Soul, being in the Early Stage.

Mu Shuiruo, Tang Wanying, Long Yuyin and Zhang Xinya were not left behind and the four girls were in the Peak Stage of the Golden Core. With a little more time, they would begin to hit the barrier to enter the Nascent Soul state as well.

Over time, everyone began to notice that the demonic beasts were appearing more frequently and not only that, the level of these demonic hordes was increasing!

Never before had any beast been seen in the state of the Foundation Establishment, but now, it was almost normal for demonic beasts to appear in the state of the Golden Core!

Long Cheng and the others knew that these demon beasts could wipe them all out, since they were in the state of the Foundation Establishment while the demon beasts were more powerful than all of them.

If it were not for the help of these powerful girls, it is feared that the Star City would have disappeared long ago.

Especially Yun Mengxin.

Yun Mengxin had the highest level of cultivation of all and would personally shoot when powerful demon beasts appeared. She would also help others from time to time when the situation became problematic.

Tang Wanying shook her head and said to her mother, "No, Mom, he hasn't appeared. But we believe he will be back soon." She smiled surely, as if she were sure that Ling Tian would appear soon.

"Most likely he is trying to find his way back." Yun Mengxin said when she opened her eyes, "The Void is an infinite and strange dimension that even people would be lost there forever if they neglected for a moment."

Yun Mengxin had explained to all of them a little about the Void as well, but she assured them that Ling Tian had knowledge of this dimension that others did not, so he should be fine.

After understanding that it would not be known when Ling Tian would return, both mothers nodded in worry. They did not want anything to happen to their beloved son in law.

"As long as he is not with another woman, there is no problem." Zhang Xinya murmured with resentment.

The girls smiled helplessly, but strangely enough they could not help but subconsciously nod.

A group of people returned at once and rested in the camps just outside the city walls to recover.

Several members of the Yun, Zhang, and Tang families came flying in on their swords and reported that the demonic beasts were apparently no longer around for several kilometers.

"It appears we have gained a good rest time." Long Cheng said with relief.

He and the others had been fighting hard to put an end to the seemingly endless demon horde, so, hearing that the demon hordes were being annihilated greatly relieved the people who were there.

* Crack! *

* Crack! *

* Crack! *

However, the sound of spatial cracks was heard again, attracting the attention of all who were there.

That sound of a crack in space had become an exhausting sound for them, for they had learned that the demonic beasts entered this world through them.

So, when they directed their spirit senses to observe what was happening, they were amazed to realize that hundreds of demonic beasts were coming out of the cracks in space in droves.

This was much more than they had ever witnessed!

Soon everyone in the place realized that these demonic beasts were very powerful, beyond the state of the Foundation Establishment!

Huh?

Tang Zhi was surprised when she saw Yun Mengxin disappear from the site, and then, as if by some tacit agreement, the other girls followed her, including Lan Yin.

Shan Qingwu also reacted almost immediately and used her sword to follow them.

Of course, the group of them realized and noticed that these girls had gone to where these space cracks had appeared.

The warriors returning from fighting the previous demon horde were frightened and quickly returned to the Star City, while taking a look at what was happening from time to time.

* Freeze! *

* Freeze! *

* Freeze! *

Ice roads began to cover the ground, with many demonic beasts being frozen and killed instantly.

Ice mountains formed in an instant when the snow began to fall slightly, giving the impression that the winter season was beginning to arrive.

Yun Mengxin had been constantly practicing the skill she had recently learned, so she could now easily freeze several demonic beasts.

People watching from the camps knew that the Ice Goddess had struck personally!

* Woosh! *

As they continued to applaud and cheer the Ice Goddess, bursts of fire destroyed the demonic beasts that almost survived Yun Mengxin's attack.

Zhang Xinya had created these streams of fire every time she moved her spear!

Lan Yin made her attack and sent several shining swords as well.

Tang Wanying used her bow to hunt down the demon beasts that were far away, killing them with one shot.

Mu Shuiruo and Long Yuyin would personally fight the demonic beasts hand to hand.

Shan Qingwu would take care of some demon beasts that tried to approach Star City.

Quickly, the immense and powerful demonic horde had been greatly reduced.

Only a few demonic beasts remained, but they were still somewhat far from where they were.

"It must be him, right? I felt it..." Tang Wanying told Yun Mengxin when the girls got together and she took her hand to her heart.

The other girls also nodded to what Tang Wanying said and immediately looked at Yun Mengxin, hoping that she could confirm it to them.

Yun Mengxin stared at the location where the space crack had been.

She had felt a resonance at that moment!

Her heart had started beating happily again, as if part of her was about to come back again and it made her very happy. Although it was cut off again, she was sure of it.

This was her connection to Ling Tian!

Yun Mengxin was sure that Ling Tian was close, not only because of her connection, but because she really felt like her soul mate was coming back to her.

The other girls didn't have this kind of special, unique connection like she and Ling Tian, but somehow they too had felt that Ling Tian was close, as if their hearts beat with a great, vigorous, happy impulse.

* CRACK! *

* ROARRR!!! *

Just as Yun Mengxin was about to say something, a huge crack began to form again from afar, attracting everyone's attention.

Everyone's eyes opened completely in shock and terror when they saw a giant tiger-shaped beast appear.

The powerful aura of this shocking beast covered the whole place, even reaching the Star City and completely frightening everybody.

This giant demon beast roared fiercely and started killing the other demon beasts that were by its side.

The alarming instincts of Yun Mengxin and the other women rose completely.

They knew that this demon beast was more powerful than all of them!

Space became strange, with the clouds of sky being erased as this new demonic beast moved.

Suddenly, this ferocious demon beast that was very far away suddenly appeared a few meters away from where Yun Mengxin and the others were, completely surprising them by appearing so quickly.

With a fierce and penetrating roar, this demon beast roared towards the girls, causing them some damage when they were thrown into the Star City.

Shan Qingwu coughed up blood when she felt her whole body being beaten heavily. She was the weakest of the girls, so she got a little more injury.

However, Lan Yin, Mu Shuiruo, Long Yuyin, Zhang Xinya and Tang Wanying were also injured, feeling for the first time a somewhat heavy wound.

Even Yun Mengxin also felt a little bit of pain!

But she didn't take into account her current state since her connection to Ling Tian had been felt again when that huge crack had opened up!

That really ensured that Ling Tian was close to this world!

Without wasting any time, Yun Mengxin gathered more than half of her power and created a huge wall of ice to hold back this powerful demon beast.

* CRASH! *

However, the ice wall was easily destroyed when the demon beast only shook its claws.

The demonic beast suddenly appeared again closer to them, approaching the Star City.

The others in the camps and walls of the Star City watched in shock and terror that even the powerful Goddesses of the city could not stand against this new and huge demonic beast.

Would this be the end for everyone?!

* WOOSH!!! *

* WOOSH!!! *

* WOOSH!!! *

Exactly when this demon beast seemed to advance further, dozens of shining swords suddenly appeared and attacked this demon beast!

They unconsciously thought that Lan Yin was the one who had done it because she was the only one who could make that attack, but immediately they saw a figure all covered in blood suddenly appear before the demonic beast and attack it!
