The Way of The Dao

"Are you okay, big sister?"

Mu Shuiruo asked once when Yun Mengxin approached them. The other women were also surprised and somewhat concerned about the divine damnation they too would face when they entered the greater realms.

Yun Mengxin shook her head with a calm smile: "Mhn, I'm fine, now I've finally entered the state of the Nascent Soul."

The girls nodded at her answer and began asking her what she felt right away, which Yun Mengxin explained and told them not to worry.

"Yinyin, you are the next to face divine damnation, so you need to be mentally prepared for this." Yun Mengxin turned to Lan Yin and patted her head.

Lan Yin's level was now in the Late Stage of the Golden Core, so in a little longer she would reach the Peak Stage and then she would have her first divine damnation.

Tang Wanying, Zhang Xinya, Long Yuyin and Mu Shuiruo did not fall behind and also increased their level of cultivation, quickly reaching the Middle Stage of the Golden Core.

"En!" Lan Yin nodded firmly, although a little nervousness was still evident. Anyone who knew that they would have to be struck by several lightning bolts would be a little afraid.

Thanks to the fact that Yun Mengxin had witnessed most of Ling Tian's memories, she had knowledge and her mind had also matured to a great extent, gaining confidence and security for what lay ahead.

In addition, Yun Mengxin had also seen that Ling Tian's divine damnations were as horrible and fierce as any other cultivator and yet he was able to overcome them in the end, managing to enter the next realm.

Although Yun Mengxin also confirmed that her own divine damnation was a little greater and stronger by cultivator standards, she could still overcome it.

If her man could overcome these atrocious and horrible divine damnations, why could she not overcome a divine damnation lighter and lower than that of Ling Tian?

"Do not worry, Yinyin, you can succeed without problems. Divine damnation is necessary for your body to be tempered, as your blood, organs, bones and so on are refined and made stronger." Yun Mengxin kept patting Lan Yin while trying to comfort her and not worry her.

Lan Yin relaxed a bit and nodded, "Yinyin will succeed!" She smiled bravely as she raised her tender arms and clenched her little fists.

The girls smiled at this, but also reaffirmed their minds; this was their test to keep moving forward and not get stuck, being weak for life.

"It has been almost two months since we have seen him, will he be all right?" Zhang Xinya asked, changing the subject and referring to Ling Tian.

Since the last time they saw Ling Tian disappear, they had not heard from him since, worrying a little about whether he was fine.

"What if The Void doesn't let him come back, or it hurt him badly?" Mu Shuiruo asked worriedly, hoping that Ling Tian had not had an accident.  Not only her, the other women were also worried about Ling Tian.

Thanks to Yun Mengxin, the girls learned many things about the void and what it entails, understanding that it was another dimension, something out of the world, and that it was so horrible and ugly that even the powerful immortals could perish there.

"Most probably he has encountered something." Yun Mengxin responded as she tried to feel her connection to Ling Tian, without having any precise results or sense of his location: "However, don't worry, our man is the only person who could survive the void thanks to his knowledge of it while traveling to various worlds many years ago."

Yun Mengxin could not feel his location, as her connection to him had been cut off, but she could clearly feel that Ling Tian was still alive; as if she could feel his breath and even his heartbeat.

Yun Mengxin believed completely in Ling Tian and trusted that he would be okay and would soon return.

"I can feel that he is alive even though he is not in this world, it is like a firm and strong feeling that is engraved deep within my heart that can feel him." Tang Wanying took her delicate hand to her chest, touching the area of her heart: "It's incredible this dual-cultivation technique, I think you can feel it too, right?"

The women nodded to what Tang Wanying said; each of them could faintly feel a strange but special feeling that Ling Tian was still alive. This was like their intuitions deep in their hearts.

One could call it a woman's intuition...

They had all talked about the technique of dual cultivation and knew that even Ling Tian did not know the details of this technique in depth. But they were sure that the dual-cultivation technique could make the other half of their souls feel that they were linked to Ling Tian and vice versa.

"Yinyin believes that my Master will return soon!" Lan Yin said firmly without showing any hesitation.

Mu Shuiruo hugged Lan Yin gently, "Of course he will return." She smiled sweetly as she kept Lan Yin by her side, trying to comfort her as well.

Groar...

A slight roar from a demon beast was heard later, drawing the girls' attention.

"We need to go back to continue fighting the demonic beasts." Long Yuyin remarked when they faintly heard the roar of a demon beast. She drew her striking daggers and played with them in her hands while a small enthusiastic but hopeful smile formed on her beautiful face.

"What you want is for a stronger demon beast to appear as it did a few days ago, right?" Tang Wanying smiled sardonically at Long Yuyin.

Long Yuyin pouted and replied, "It's not my fault that all the demon beasts die easily with just one move..."

For Long Yuyin it was now easier to fight the demon beasts and therefore she felt bored, as her strength was above the forces of the demon beasts and with one move she could kill more than 10 of them, even more with the new skills she had learned.

Sometimes a demon beast above the state of the Foundation Establishment would appear and Long Yuyin would always take over first.

Her excitement of fighting and facing powerful demon beasts was accumulating and she hoped to face some powerful beast to test her abilities and strength...

The sisters smiled helplessly at Long Yuyin's fighting spirit.

"Since our man left, the number of demonic beasts has increased much more..." Tang Wanying said as she thought about the frequency of the appearance of the demon hordes after Ling Tian left. She wondered if Ling Tian breaking through space had anything to do with it, as the incidence of the demonic beasts began to increase frequently. Her mind had several theories from the little information she knew from Ling Tian.

"All we can do is wait for him to come and then ask him if he knows anything." Yun Mengxin said. She still didn't understand many things in depth like Ling Tian, but she did know that it was something complicated.

The women nodded before flying to Star City.

All the girls could now fly without the flying sword because they had entered the Golden Core Stage, but then they understood the feeling of what Ling Tian had said about preferring to fly over a sword; the latter was certainly more comfortable and convenient than flying without a sword and having to concentrate all the way.

"Sister Yuyin, then you are in charge of dealing with the demonic beasts, hehe..." Zhang Xinya said to Long Yuyin while forming a mischievous smile without a trace of guilt or shame.

Long Yuyin rolled her eyes at Zhang Xinya's cunning, but still nodded, not wanting to stop trying and improving her abilities.

Soon they saw a great demon horde approaching Star City.

The girls approached and Long Yuyin coolly stepped forward and began to rid herself of the entire demon horde.
