The Way of The Dao

"I see..."

Ling Tian's consciousness calmed down when his guess of the moment was correct. Ning Xiaoyi and Xi Fei were able to survive that demon siege, but in the end they were teleported just like him but to a different world.

"Ling Tian, you were also teleported to the Heavenly Sun Continent, right? But where had you been? And how did you manage to survive against that terrifying demon?"

Ning Xiaoyi asked anxiously. After hundreds of years, they could not find any trace of Ling Tian in that world. Although it was like searching for a different small drop in a vast sea, both women had the thought that they could find some clue related to Ling Tian. They cultivated crazily, increasing their strength rapidly but not neglecting their cultivation bases for the sake of finding Ling Tian faster.

Moreover, they knew that the enemy Ling Tian faced was clearly very powerful and there was no chance of survival, so they did not know how Ling Tian could survive. They still hoped that a powerful expert had helped Ling Tian.

Xue Ning and the other women listened in silence. Although they knew a little about Ling Tian's story, hearing the story from other perspectives increased their thoughts and guesses.

"Unfortunately, I was not teleported to that world..."

Ling Tian sighed with a faint bitter smile, leaving Ning Xiaoyi and Xi Fei stunned. Could it be that that teleportation formation didn't have a fixed destination but teleported to different destinations?

"The moment I was teleported, that old demon became desperate when he realized that we were enveloped by a teleportation formation and expelled his power. Because of this, the teleportation flow was disturbed and we were almost swallowed by the void dimension, being mainly enveloped by the terrifying forces of the void. Thanks to me having a powerful defensive artifact, I could barely survive severely in the face of that situation, but that demon had no defensive artifact on him and was annihilated in the process."

Xi Fei's pupils shrank and Ning Xiaoyi's expression paled. As powerful powerhouses at the pinnacle of cultivation, they knew several things about the void plane and that anyone who entered there would only have death await them. Even peak powerhouses of the Great Ascension state would die without a body.

Ling Tian continued and spoke calmly, as if telling a simple story of someone else.

"When I regained consciousness, my body was in a very bad state and it took a long time to be able to recover. When I was finally able to move, I realized that I was in an abandoned place. I went all over the place but could not find any signs of other people or living beings. The only thing I could find was a corridor of chaotic void that gradually spread out over time, destroying the surroundings with the chaotic force of the void... plus I felt the weather strange and the days were ending fast."

"Abandoned world!"

Ning Xiaoyi exclaimed in surprise, shocking Ling Tian a little to see that she knew about these abandoned and dead worlds. Xi Fei beside her also nodded, showing that she knew about it too.

They also knew about void corridors, which were spaces where they could enter and be teleported to other parts, but always within the same cultivation world. Usually these void corridors were stable and there was almost no risk of death, except for a few cases.

"You know about those worlds?" Ling Tian asked somewhat surprised.

"We encountered 3 such places, but fortunately we were able to return to the Heavenly Sun Continent." Xi Fei replied with some trepidation, remembering the horror of those worlds. Although there were extraordinary amounts of cultivation resources, they did not make up for the horrifying risks of life-threatening danger.

Both she and Ning Xiaoyi learned about these small worlds, pieces of continents lost in the universe that shared a weak connection with the cultivation world and were gradually being destroyed due to the instability of heaven and earth. No one could survive in these worlds and everyone avoided them, even Great Ascension realm powerhouses could be trapped and die when swallowed by the forces of the void.

Fortunately, Ning Xiaoyi and Xi Fei found stable void corridors that could get them out of those abandoned worlds without being seriously injured.

"How did you get out of that world?" Ning Xiaoyi asked anxiously. Ling Tian was alive in front of them, so he was undoubtedly able to escape from that terrifying world.

"I could not withstand the destructive energies of that void corridor, so I could only cultivate to increase my strength so that my body could survive passing through that void corridor."

Ling Tian gently rubbed the little heads of Lan Yin and Qing Sha, who turned to look at him and smiled adorably while showing him their lovely miniature nascent souls playing with Ling Tian's nascent soul as well.

"So how long did it take you to come out of that world...? Up to what level did you manage to cultivate?" Xi Fei asked somewhat nervously and trembling.

Ling Tian had to have cultivated to a sufficient height to be able to survive. Although they didn't know why Ling Tian was now a cripple, this was the only way to survive and get out of that world. But both Xi Fei and Ning Xiaoyi knew about Ling Tian's talent in cultivating...

Ling Tian smiled slightly and calmly looked at Ning Xiaoyi and Xi Fei, as if he could see through their thoughts and replied, "As you know, my cultivation talent is trash and I don't have any special aptitude or talent, so I could only reach the top of the Early Stage of Nascent Soul realm from the Peak Stage of the Golden Core after just over 100 years of cultivation..."

Ning Xiaoyi and Xi Fei's expressions showed shock upon hearing this! Not only them, but Ning Xue, Gao Xue, Gao Yue, Zhen Bingluo and Xuanyuan Ling were also shocked!

Zhao Yu and Gu Yan looked at their Master surprised to hear it from him. Their Master who is a mighty powerhouse at the pinnacle of the Immortal realm confessed that it took him more than a century to cross a small minor realm in the early realms of cultivation, while it took them less than a year to break through to the Nascent Soul realm!

Tang Wanying and her sisters couldn't help but blink momentarily before calming down and smiling softly. They knew that unlike Ling Tian, they had special physiques while their beloved husband did not, but despite that, Ling Tian still reached the top and stood dominantly over the myriads of the Immortal realm. Pride and grandeur overflowed from their hearts at having such a great husband.

"I was only able to break through the Nascent Soul realm at that time with almost no cultivation resources. After all, most of all my cultivation resources were left to you two when I decided to attract the enemy's attention for you to escape..." Ling Tian smiled helplessly and shrugged his shoulders. He did not regret what he did, his mind only focused on saving both women and allowing them to become stronger by handing over their own cultivation resources to him. If he died, those resources would be lost and be of no use, so it was better to give them to them to carry on.

"Ling Tian..."

Ning Xiaoyi and Xi Fei could not help but feel more touched in their hearts. They never forgot all of Ling Tian's kind actions towards them to the point of him giving his life for them and allowing them to cultivate faster because of his cultivation resources.

Ling Tian was aware of his own talent for cultivation, but despite that, he did not give up.

"Besides, even if I wanted to increase my cultivation more to have a better chance of survival, the world was destroying and I knew that I would die if I didn't leave, so I decided to take a risk and entered the Void Corridor. I was lucky enough to have many defensive artifacts even though they were of inferior quality, but even so I could barely resist the fierce impact on my body as the defensive artifacts were destroyed in an instant, being almost about to be destroyed by the chaotic force of the void corridor when I was finally teleported to another place..."

Ling Tian's smile turned wry as he said the last. His mind couldn't help but think about how unfortunate his luck was when he remembered things from the past. Then, Ling Tian added, "When I recovered again and after a certain amount of time of searching, I realized that I had arrived at another abandoned and desolate place..."

Xi Fei and Ning Xiaoyi's expressions paled as did the others. How unlucky did Ling Tian have to be to arrive at another abandoned world?

"I thought I was in the same place as before, but after searching for a while, I confirmed that it was another world that was gradually being destroyed. Also, the spiritual Chi felt more abundant in certain parts but strangely I felt that the days passed faster while in certain areas it seemed to slow down to the point of freezing. I was able to break through to the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul after several years, but it was not enough. Fortunately, after much searching, I found many cultivation resources there, especially spirit crystals, which advanced my cultivation base by leaps and bounds after focusing entirely on cultivation. But this time, I didn't find any void corridors."

Ling Tian knew that if there were no cultivation resources available in that abandoned world, he might have remained trapped in that place to this day. After all, it was in that world that he learned and studied about teleportation formations when he came across a shattered ancient formation, but he could only make it work once he repaired it and injected enough power into it.
