The Way of The Dao

"Where am I?"

Ling Tian's consciousness was plunged into darkness.

He saw himself and knew he was in a soul form. The same situation as he entered his own sea of knowledge.

But this time, it was not his sea of knowledge: it was a boundless darkness, similar to the void.

Ling Tian turned to look around. As he moved forward, nothing changed. The darkness remained the same.

Suddenly, Ling Tian heard a voice coming from far away, but at the same time it resounded within him, either in his heart, in his sea of knowledge or in his Dantian:

"To love..."

"Protect..."

"The desire..."

"The sincerity..."

Vaguely he could hear some words.

Ling Tian was confused. That voice came from the same voice inside him that was always asking him the same question: What is the Dao?

The last time he faced the Heavenly Dao, he seemed to have heard that same voice, but it was no longer a question. It was a sentence. It seemed that he would have the answer to the Great Dao.

But because Ling Tian did not let himself be defeated by death, he lost the opportunity to understand the Dao.

Ling Tian felt that, in the deep darkness, a faint glow could hardly be noticed.

It was like a tiny light from a firefly. Flying in the darkness, trying to break the darkness by imbuing a little light.

Ling Tian tried to get closer to that light, but he could not move forward. He even felt that instead of moving forward, he was moving backwards, so he stopped moving.

Once again, that voice was heard, but this time, it resonated so strongly in his soul, heart, and spirit.

"Sacrifice must be from the heart and sincerity..."

"The heart must be firm, understanding, determined, sincere, harmonious..."

Lighting

Ling Tian felt that little light shine like the sun, and that light was so intense that he could not help but close his eyes.

Fwoosh

Ling Tian felt a mysterious breath come into his body. He felt a little free somehow.

"Ugh." Ling Tian let out a groan of pain as he felt his body heavy.

He knew that his consciousness was no longer in that darkness, and now he was in his own body, experiencing the pain of having used that technique.

Ling Tian slowly opened his eyes, to see a Mu Shuiruo with tears and red eyes, and a concerned Mu Shen at the side.

Ling Tian felt a softness in his head. His head seemed to be resting on something soft and comfortable.

He quickly realized that it was the lap of Mu Shuiruo. Ling Tian felt grateful and flashed a soft smile at Mu Shuiruo.

Just when he wanted to say that he was fine, a sound was heard in Ling Tian's body.

Crack

Some shackles he had inside him had been lifted.

Ling Tian felt a warm, comforting vitality spread throughout his body and began to heal all his wounds.

Ling Tian was puzzled, but quickly understood that this vitality came from the World Tree that resided in his heart.

Although Ling Tian's wounds were quickly healed, they still took a while to heal. Still, the speed of healing was incredible, to the point that, 10 seconds later, over 60% of all his wounds had completely healed.

Even the strength of Ling Tian's body had returned, although it was still a bit weaker than a mere mortal, it was enough to be able to move and walk without any support.

Now Ling Tian's body was covered only in blood that had dried from the wounds of before.

"Brother Tian, are you all right?" Mu Shen asked with obvious concern on his face.

Ling Tian was still immersed in the healing state of his body.

He quickly released his spiritual sense and rejoiced greatly in discovering what was troubling him.

His meridians were completely healthy and repaired. Even, they were even wider and more solid.

He was aware that before he lost consciousness, his meridians were shattered. He had officially become a cripple.

But now, his meridians were completely fine.

Ling Tian was deeply happy so he quickly got back on his feet. He stood up and kissed Mu Shuiruo's forehead, causing her to blush greatly and look embarrassed, yet she remembered that she had held Ling Tian's head in her lap, so she was even more embarrassed and ran out of the place into her own room.

Mu Shen was stunned to see Ling Tian get up without any effort. Wasn't he completely hurt? Even his wounds had been reopened by the fight he had just had.

"Brother Shen, don't worry, I'm fine now!" Ling Tian didn't give any further explanation and simply said, "Now I have enough strength to be able to walk and move around a bit."

Ling Tian nodded as he looked at Mu Shen.

"I just need to take a bath to get rid of the dirt and blood in my body." Ling Tian felt his body disgusted, so he asked to take a bath.

After Ling Tian finished his bath, he went to his room.

Mu Shen had lent him some clothes. Ling Tian still didn't want to take his clothes off his space ring and surprise them both. Although he trusted them, he still didn't want to expose his identity.

Ling Tian settled down on his bed, immediately inspected his body, and was pleased to see that he no longer had any injuries.

His strength was now that of a mere mortal, even a little stronger.

Ling Tian directed his spiritual sense into his heart and was surprised.

The Heavenly Seal that restricted his heart to keep the vitality of the World Tree from leaving was weakened.

Rather, it was exactly a restriction of a layer that had been lifted, thus allowing the vitality to start to come out a little more, managing to show its healing effects and completely heal Ling Tian's body.

He managed to understand that both the heavenly seal in his heart, his Dantian and his sea of knowledge, had various restrictions of a layer.

It was as if you wanted to enter a place, which you would have to go through several doors. For example, a place or a cave of cultivation.

Once you managed to open the door in front of you, the place would be filled with much more spiritual energy than the present one, from which you could absorb and increase your cultivation faster.

It seemed that this heavenly seal worked like this.

Ling Tian began to ponder why a part of the heavenly seal had been lifted. And, above all, that voice he had heard when he was unconscious.

Five minutes had not passed when Mu Shen arrived at Ling Tian's room.

He stared into his eyes.

Ling Tian knew that Mu Shen wanted to ask him many questions.

Mu Shen had heard him scream a few hours ago, so he could have interfered with some of Ling Tian's things.

Also, he had exposed himself by facing those guys, so when Mu Shen returned, Mu Shen had witnessed how he threw Ming Fen away even with his body full of wounds and in a pitiful condition, where he could barely lift his arm.

And now his body healed quickly without any elixir or medicinal soup after he had fought and opened his wounds in the moment, to the point that he could now move like a normal person. That was not normal at all.

Mu Shen would no longer believe that Ling Tian was a peasant who worked in his family's fields and knew nothing of martial arts. Therefore it would not be strange for Mu Shen to question and inquire about Ling Tian's identity.

Just when Ling Tian thought that Mu Shen was going to ask a question, he watched as Mu Shen knelt before him.
