The Way of The Dao

Han Lushuo and Zhin Huizhen?

Jiu Ming only thought for two seconds before she widened her eyes in surprise and exclaimed, "The Shadow Supreme and the Yin Yang Supreme?"

These two people are Supreme too!

Jiu Ming was already almost certain of what might have happened.

Ling Tian nodded and said, "The two of them conspired against me and set up an ambush for me where Samsara Bridge is located."

Jiu Ming's shock lasted for a few seconds before she quickly asked, "But they shouldn't have been able to have succeeded you easily, right? After all, you exchanged pointers with them in the past and dominated them all..."

Ling Tian had fought all of them and overpowered them with his strength, which made him even more famous and placed himself at the head of the realm. Could they really have concealed their strength back then?

Ling Tian shook his head and explained, "If it was the two of them I could easily kill them and would even have no problem escaping if the situation was ugly. It's just that there was another one involved that turned the situation around and I was helpless." His gaze became somewhat grim and cold.

"Who?" Jiu Ming asked as she narrowed her eyes.

"Feng Heng."

"Him?!" Jiu Ming was surprised for a moment before her gaze also turned cold and she said, "I always felt something wrong about him."

Feng Heng had been recommended to learn under Ling Tian's tutelage after an invasion of demonic creatures, so Ling Tian ended up accepting it without any other choice. That way, Ling Tian would get rid of some trivial and annoying things.

"I felt something bad about him too but I got too self-confident." Ling Tian sighed having been so stupid and arrogant when his instincts alerted him to something. Then he added, "Feng Heng is Han Lushuo's personal disciple. And in the end, it was he himself who set up formations and used what I taught him against me. He deployed a formation that restricted more than half of my strength."

Jiu Ming couldn't imagine the guts these guys had to conspire against Ling Tian.

"But that shouldn't be enough to stop you either, right?" Jiu Ming knew that it would take more than just formations and an ambush to kill Ling Tian.

Who is Ling Tian?

The most powerful Immortal Supreme at the top of the world!

Ling Tian replied, "Yan'er was with me and I had to use all my strength to protect her from attack." His eyes showed a trace of coldness and killing intent as he remembered that they also wanted to kill his female disciple.

Jiu Ming finally knew what had happened. It seemed that they made all sorts of arrangements down to the smallest detail in order to kill Ling Tian, even without hesitation attacking his female disciple.

"But you still managed to escape, didn't you brother? Otherwise, you wouldn't be here." Mu Shen wanted to know how Ling Tian had escaped. The others were also silent, listening to part of Ling Tian's past. The tension could not go unnoticed the more they listened.

Ling Tian nodded softly before saying, "After a while, the place started to collapse as if an earthquake happened. But before we knew what was happening, a force came from the depths of the Bridge and engulfed us. Those guys managed to escape, but Yan'er and I were completely dragged down and we fell into the abyss of Samsara Bridge."

"And then what happened?" Tang Jingtian looked anxiously at Ling Tian.

"I finally managed to execute a secret technique and saved Yan'er, sending her away through Space-Time in exchange for consuming all my strength and energy." Ling Tian closed his eyes for a while before opening them and saying, "I was taken into the depths while trying to withstand the crushing pressure on my body and before I knew it, I had managed to enter a strange dimension of the void where I stayed for a while. After struggling and exhausting my energies completely, I fell unconscious and when I regained consciousness I had already entered this world. That's when I met Yuyin and Uncle Cheng."

Everyone finally knew. So that's how Ling Tian had come to this world....

Ling Tian did not mention about his meeting with the Great Dao, let alone the sacred objects he had, as it would require a lot of explanations and was something most of them would not understand yet. Only Yun Mengxin, Mu Shuiruo, Tang Wanying, Long Yuyin and Zhang Xinya knew about it. Even Lan Yin knew, since she was present at that moment he told them.

"And why did you go to Samsara Bridge, isn't that a place filled with energies of destruction and forces of the void?" Jiu Min could not understand why Ling Tian would go to such a place.

Samsara Bridge was known as an endless place of destruction where even the Supremes would think twice before going.

"Although those two conspired against me in the end, thanks to some ancient writings they had discovered that Samsara Bridge apparently is a lost connection to the Gods territory and invited me so that I could also corroborate it." Ling Tian was hesitant to go at first, but since it was something important, he had to go and see for himself, "That was why I decided to go, to see if it was really about the entrance to the higher plane."

But now, Ling Tian knew that there was indeed a higher plane. The Supremacy realm was just the beginning to be able to enter that place.

Gods Realm?

Did divinity really exist?

Jiu Ming contemplated all this information. She too had almost reached the pinnacle of immortal cultivation, only below the Supreme realm. But even so, she still had great knowledge like Ling Tian.

Ling Tian soon remembered something and looked at Chu Feng and asked, "Exactly how old are you?"

Chu Feng was surprised for a moment before answering, "I am 17 years old."

Ling Tian nodded and then looked at Hao Zhentian and asked, "How many years has it been since I ascended?"

"More than 400 years..." Hao Zhentian quickly replied as he calculated and finally said an exact figure, "To be precise, 467 years, Master." They knew exactly the time since Ling Tian ascended to the higher plane.

Jiu Ming raised her eyebrows at the thought that there might actually be a distinct relationship in Time between planes and worlds.

Ling Tian frowned as he calculated the Space-Time relationship between the different planes.

Thanks to Yun Mengxin's thoughts, Ling Tian knew that Mo Leng had said that he had fallen over 100 years ago when his remnant spirit manifested and everyone saw him. And Ling Tian remembered that the exact time he spent in the Immortal World since he ascended from the Cultivation World without counting the time he was in the other worlds was precisely 367 years...

"I was 100 years in the void?" Ling Tian murmured as he put his hand to his chin. A somewhat incredulous and surprised expression could be seen on him.

The figures matched exactly if a century was added to it, so Ling Tian could understand that when he faced against the Great Dao for the first time, the relationship of Space-Time could vary by a great magnitude and could not be measured by the sensation one perceived around oneself.

But Ling Tian turned to look at Jiu Ming and Chu Feng and his frown deepened even more. If he was in a space where Time was unpredictable due to the Great Dao, then how could he explain about Jiu Ming and Chu Feng?

Chu Feng should be over 100 years old and might even have ascended to another plane, while Jiu Ming might have died because of the condition of her body.

Then, Ling Tian looked at the necklace on Chu Feng's neck and asked Jiu Ming, "When you entered the Void dimension, did you notice that the crystal Chu Kang gifted you emanated some energy?"

Jiu Ming looked at the crystal that was the pendant of the necklace she had given to her son, which now had no luster and looked like just an ordinary crystal and said, "Now that you remind me, when I was about to die from the horrible forces of the Void, I felt a strange energy coming out of the crystal and the destructive energies around me calmed down briefly, to the point where I could not even feel any of those energies around me for a little while. But almost immediately there was a strange explosion and that's when these forces shattered my meridians and Dantian, to finally fall into the other world."

Ling Tian thought for a few seconds as his expression brightened and he said, "You must have entered a Space-Time Bubble. That must be the main cause of why you will have appeared a century later like me."

"Space-Time Bubble?" Jiu Ming tried to search through her memories.

"Uhm! A Space-Time bubble can take you to the future or even send you to the past. The Space inside it is so mysterious while its interaction with Time flows in various ways." Ling Tian pointed to the crystal on Chu Feng's neck and said, "Chu Kang and I found those little void crystals in the world we were trapped in. That crystal should have reacted by resonating with the dimension itself and formed one of those Time Bubbles around you, in which you were only a few seconds inside with time freezing, while the time outside flowed until it reached an average of 100 years to finally burst the bubble and you returned to normal space and dimension."

Ling Tian knew a little about those strange Void Crystals, so he could understand the possible truth of what had happened to Jiu Ming.

Jiu Ming nodded and remembered that this crystal was precisely given to her by her husband, as it functioned as a mysterious shield that could ward off some destructive forces. Chu Feng took hold of the crystal with his fingers, thinking that his father had somehow saved his mother by giving her this crystal.

Ling Tian cleared up some of his main doubts he had at this moment. Then, he turned to look at these disciples he hadn't seen in so long.

"You brats, can you explain to me how it was that you fell into this world?"
