The Way of The Dao

"I found a very ancient teleportation formation, but unfortunately it was destroyed by time." Ling Tian sighed and added, "I had to read all the information related to the formations I had with me, so I spent over 100 years studying about the formations, at the same time I increased my cultivation base to the peak of the Body Condensation realm thanks to the cultivation resources hidden by many hidden formations scattered all over the place."

"You were trapped for over 200 years alone in those worlds?" Ning Xiaoyi's face saddened at the thought of what Ling Tian suffered, especially being alone with no one to lean on. Xi Fei's blue eyes conveyed sadness and despair at the sight of Ling Tian.

"I thought so, but somehow it wasn't like that." Ling Tian shook his head with a bitter smile, confusing Xi Fei and Ning Xiaoyi. He added, "When I was able to understand something about formations to the point where I could create a small teleportation formation, I left that world and came to another abandoned world as well. But in that world there was no spiritual Chi at all and it didn't take long for me to leave, unfortunately arriving back at another abandoned world..."

Ling Tian sighed and after being silent for several seconds said, "I spent over 800 years cultivating and being taken to over 7 abandoned worlds until I finally made it to a cultivation world, the Heavenly Moon Continent."

Ling Tian's gaze rested on Xue Ning, looking at her gently and lovingly.

Xue Ning was stunned by Ling Tian's gaze falling on her, being amazed at what this dear and longing big brother of hers had to go through in the past.

However, Ning Xiaoyi and Xi Fei suddenly stood up with shocked expressions at the sight of Ling Tian.

"More than 800 years?! But it's barely been a little over 400 years since we were separated! How can that be..." Ning Xiaoyi's trembling voice was evident, as was Xi Fei's stupefied and shocked expression. Neither of them could believe it!

Ever since they were separated from Ling Tian, they counted the hours, days and years in getting back together, never losing hope that Ling Tian might have died. Therefore, when Ling Tian confessed that he spent more than 800 years cultivating in those worlds, both Ning Xiaoyi and Xi Fei could not believe it. Although they would never doubt Ling Tian's words, they knew exactly that they had been separated from Ling Tian for a long time, but it really did not exceed 500 years, which made them doubt a bit...

Qing Sha and Lan Yin were still playing with their nascent souls smiling and laughing adorably, while eating sweets and cookies silently without paying attention to the environment, as if they were not interested in what was going on. Both girls stretched out their arms and adorably gave some cookies to Ling Tian feeding him, smiling happily as they saw him accepting them.

"Uhm..." Ling Tian smiled patiently at the sight of the two women as he finished eating the sweets that Qing Sha and Lan Yin shared with him. His intense jet black eyes that seemed to hold a whole beautiful galaxy in them looked gently at Ning Xiaoyi and Xi Fei, then switched to Xue Ning and said, "When I arrived at the Heavenly Moon Continent, comparing the dates at that time I realized that since we had been separated several months had passed apparently only..."

"!!!"

This time, besides Ning Xiaoyi and Xi Fei, the other women also could not help but be stunned and shocked. Their gazes towards Ling Tian contained confusion and even glimpses of disbelief.

He says that those 800 years he spent cultivating was actually a few months?

"Master... could it have been an illusion?"

Even Zhen Bingluo, who was beside her senior martial sisters couldn't help but ask in stupefaction. Her other sisters also looked at Ling Tian in shock. None of them knew about this since Ling Tian never commented on it. They even thought that their Master at most might be about 100 years old from the youthful appearance he had on that time.

Hearing Zhen Bingluo's question, everyone present couldn't help but nod in their minds. Ling Tian couldn't have been in some kind of skill or illusion realm? What he had said now and a while ago didn't make sense!

Only Yun Mengxin, Zhang Xinya, Long Yuyin, Tang Wanying and Mu Shuiruo were calm, as if they were not shocked by this revelation. Ling Tian is their husband, so they knew about him and his past, hearing from Ling Tian himself what he lived and experienced without hiding anything...

Shan Qingwu couldn't help but be surprised to hear what this powerful man had experienced. Can one really achieve longevity and become forever young in cultivation? Her knowledge of cultivation was limited and she was still learning, so what she was hearing right now was new and fresh knowledge to her.

Seeing how handsome and young Ling Tian looked, Shan Qingwu couldn't help but nod inwardly. Her shock was no less than the other women present, but being on the side of Mu Shuiruo and her other senior sisters, her heart seemed to be affected and reassured as she noticed their calm and composed expressions on them.

"I thought so too!"

Ling Tian smiled and shook his head.

"I thought I had been under some soul attack and had been in a convalescent state, but all my cultivation was still there, from the Golden Core realm to the peak of the Great Ascension realm!"ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

Gao Xue was stunned, Xue Ning was dumbfounded and even Cai Wuya was in shock not believing what Ling Tian had said. Ling Tian had reached the peak of the Great Ascension realm? It was really hard to believe even though he said that his arduous cultivation of several centuries was real.

To advance from the Golden Core realm to the pinnacle of cultivation in a few months was impossible!

Not even the great and wonderful geniuses could reach the pinnacle of the world in less than 300 years!

Much less 100 years!

Unless one had extraordinary aptitudes and was blessed by the heavens they could achieve it, but to this day there were almost very few who had such aptitude and yet they had to cultivate arduously if they wanted to make it to the pinnacle in a century!

Those who had common cultivation talents would take tens to hundreds of years to reach a middle realm, long enough to be able to protect themselves and be considered true cultivators. But in spite of that, they would still be no different from little ants in the face of the terrifying powers of the state of Separation and Reunion, let alone the great state of the Great Ascension.

Let alone those with trash and mediocre talent, they wouldn't even be able to enter the path of cultivation and would at most be stuck at the Chi Gathering stage.

Even every one of them present were aware that they had great talents and abilities for cultivation, being able to reach the Great Ascension stage in less than 500 years with sufficient cultivation resources. But reaching the peak of the world in just a few months was unthinkable... after all, the more one's cultivation advanced, the more time and effort were required to increase one's strength.

Everyone thought Ling Tian was playing around at this moment, but seeing the calmness and some seriousness in his eyes, they didn't feel that was the case. There wasn't even a playful or mischievous tone in his words.

"I'm not lying to you, even at first I didn't believe it too and refused to accept it, but eventually I realized the reality and what had happened. The worlds which I arrived at were abandoned worlds, but they were already in a state of destruction and about to be swallowed into the void, which caused their principles and laws of the heavens and earth to fall and the flow of time to change, changing the length of day and night, making time pass much faster unlike other worlds, making the time span of a year on those worlds only a few real days on the cultivation worlds... all of this I understood later."

Ling Tian never thought that later these dangerous and terrifying worlds would be his pass to become stronger. Although the gains did not make up for the losses and the danger was imminent and the risk of death was very high with him reaching those worlds almost dying, Ling Tian had no choice but to do this to increase his strength quickly since it was the only way for his situation once he ascended. Even he would travel to these worlds to escape from powerful enemies that he could not handle at the time.

"Change in the flow of time?"

"Time much faster?"

"You say 1 year only is a few days out?"

ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom Ning Xiaoyi and Xi Fei murmured dumbfoundedly, as did the other women. What Ling Tian had confessed was really something new and hard to believe, especially for Xi Fei and Ning Xiaoyi. Being world powerhouses and having been in those abandoned worlds, they had not encountered this problem about the time would be faster there. If what Ling Tian said right now related to what he said a few minutes ago, then it would make sense that their cultivation had reached the pinnacle of cultivation after a long time on those worlds but actually spending several months apart from there.

It was something like the holy lands where cultivating a few days inside would be like cultivating several months outside due to their abundant spiritual energies, but with a much longer time span.

Even Zhen Bingluo and her martial sisters were stunned. Although Xuanyuan Ling would always listen to everything her Grandmaster told her, she also did not know about those abandoned worlds and the mysterious flow of their time inside.

Unlike the others, Xue Ning understood something and had quickly believed Ling Tian. Even so, in her gaze there was still pride and happiness at the sight of Ling Tian, being reluctant to change her gaze, somehow making Cai Wuya anxious.

Tang Wanying and co-wives were quietly enjoying the spectacle on the spot, smiling with interest and some amusement as they witnessed the changing expressions on each of these women with whom they would begin to get along and relate to much more it seemed. If they were now to say that they reached the powerful state of the Great Ascension in less than 1 year, being in real time and especially coming from a lower plane, wouldn't they fiercely shock these future sisters of theirs?

Of course! This was all thanks to their beloved and powerful husband, for finding them and giving them all kinds of heavenly and unique resources to increase their cultivations. But they also had to take some risks to do so, as well as desperately fight against severely injured but still powerful immortals in the past without Ling Tian's presence. Their cultivation bases were also extremely solid and there were no hidden dangers from advancing in such a short time, to the point of being much stronger than their own realms are.

The little white fox was curled up in a soft white fluffy ball on Tang Wanying's lap as its fluffy tail swayed slightly from time to time. She seemed to be sleeping, occasionally being stroked by Tang Wanying's gentle hand. But anyone could tell by the slight movement of her ears that she was alert and could react to any dangerous stimulus.

Zhao Yu and Gu Yan were quiet at this time. Ling Tian had taken them to those abandoned worlds and spaces several times and they knew about the changes in time flows, so it was nothing new to them. Their gazes somehow fell on Yun Mengxin's side; observing their calm and even somewhat amused and interesting looks on some of them and soured their hearts as they realized and understood the relationship and closeness they had with their Master for him to tell them all about his past.
