The Way of The Dao

The atmosphere in Star City felt more cheerful and full of tranquility. Children played in the spaces where traces of snow still existed before it slowly disappeared.

A slightly stronger aura and healthy environment covered the whole world, as if the natural spirit of the world was constantly growing and demonstrating the effects of developing.

People were happily discussing while a sense of security and relief could be felt everywhere.

The threat of the demonic beasts seemed to have finally come to an end. Aside from the amazing and horrible battle of Gods that happened long ago, the world had entered its golden age, with an atmosphere full of peace and tranquility with no threats from outside to torment them.

Groups with large numbers of people were arriving every moment in the city. They brought a white flag as a sign that they had not encountered any signs of demonic beasts.

"This is the last group!"

"There are no demonic beasts in our lands!"

"Finally the peace has come!"

The guards who were supervising on the city walls cheered and announced the news as they saw the approaching groups.

The news traveled fast and the people grew happier and happier, feeling rejoicing and peace as they saw that finally the demonic beasts were gone.

"Finally we can rest in peace. Those damn demonic beasts will no longer appear and our lives will be easier."

"Yeah! My ancestors and forefathers would be happy and glad to see that we've gotten rid of those horrible beasts!"

"Of course they would! And it's all thanks to that mighty God and the City Goddesses!"

"By the way, is there any news of the God? I've seen the City Goddesses once, but that mighty young man I've never seen..."

"They say he was knocked unconscious from using his Divinity when confronting those other gods, so he's slowly recovering while his brides take care of him."

"How envious. I wish some beautiful women would take care of me too..."

"Well then you'll need to be a god too and you'll be able to make women fall in love with you."

"I hope my next life can be a powerful existence like him."

"True. That power by changing the seasons of the year in a few seconds and being able to combine with Heaven is only a power of the Gods as mentioned in legends..."

"Only a true God could have such powerful forces."

"I hope our young God recovers..."

People commented and prayed to the heavens for the state of Ling Tian, that God who saved them both from the demonic beasts and the other Gods.

Two figures glided across the sky of Star City, heading towards one of the large residences in the city.

"Those people haven't returned, have they?" Mu Shen asked when he noticed a beautiful figure sitting in the courtyard of a luxurious residence near where they were headed.

This lovely figure was cultivating when she slightly raised her gaze and met with the two brothers'.

Tang Jingtian nodded respectfully to the woman before saying to Mu Shen, "It seems they went exploring all over the world these days and only that woman stayed here while healing her battle wounds." They had also healed most of the internal wounds, so there were only a few small wounds left that would heal over time.

Xuanyuan Ling also nodded solemnly at the two's greeting before concentrating and cultivating again, healing the last traces of the wounds on her body.

"They seem to be very respectful to us despite having a much higher cultivation than everyone..." Mu Shen recalled the moment they exchanged a few words before leaving the city, "I thought they would be arrogant and haughty like Brother Tian had told us that time about how most cultivators in those big worlds were like."

Long Cheng thanked them and as the City Lord, he quickly facilitated a great resting place when they knew that the woman with them, Xuanyuan Ling, would be staying to recuperate and heal her wounds. This showed a care, respect and gratitude towards them as well even though it seemed they did not want to cause discomfort.

"Wanying told me that, Sister Mengxin said that apparently they knew Ling Tian, which is why they behaved in such a way." Tang Jingtian remembered what his sister had told him, so he explained it to Mu Shen.

"Do they know Brother Tian?" Mu Shen raised his eyebrow as he thought of those young men who had a great cultivation.

Tang Jingtian nodded, affirming that question.

"Now all that's left is to wait for brother to wake up." Tang Jingtian sighed as he remembered Ling Tian and said, "It's already been more than two weeks since he's still unconscious..."

"My sister said she felt that these days he might wake up." Mu Shen remembered his sister's expression of sadness as she watched Ling Tian unconscious. All the women took care of Ling Tian day and night, taking turns as they stood by his side, patiently waiting for him to wake up.

After the ravages of that battle ended and they watched everything that happened to Ling Tian, they understood that Ling Tian seemed to have great power that could even destroy a world like the one they were in.

Heaven seemed to not tolerate Ling Tian's existence as he became stronger, so it created all those energy chains to try to suppress his strength as that terrifying divine damnation violently struck him, as if it really wanted to kill him. Yun Mengxin explained to them that Ling Tian was stronger but for now he could only show part of his true strength.

And when it was all over, when that light finally left, they all witnessed that Ling Tian was still left standing there watching the sky. His body was in very bad shape and no different from someone who was about to die. The energy in him disappeared and a few seconds later, Ling Tian collapsed and fell unconscious.

So far Ling Tian's body was recovering, along with the women's care and thus, most of the wounds on him had healed and all that was left was for him to wake up.

"Haah, Brother Feng's mother already woke up, so only Brother Tian is missing." Mu Shen sighed, hoping that Ling Tian would soon wake up.

The woman Ling Tian had saved had also regained consciousness. Chu Feng stayed the longest with his mother.

As Mu Shen and Tang Jingtian were about to arrive at the Tang residence, a shadow flickered rapidly and almost collided with them.

"Sister?!" Tang Jingtian recognized the shadow to be Tang Wanying and exclaimed.

Tang Wanying blinked her face eagerly before her figure became a blur as she flew away like a flash of lightning, flying to the Mu house.

Both men were dumbfounded and when they went to follow Tang Wanying, Tang Zhi, Zhang Ruoyan, Tang Wei and several acquaintances flew on their swords from the Tang residence.

"Mother?" Tang Jingtian saw everyone's excited and expectant expressions, so he easily guessed what would make everyone be like this, especially his sister.

"Little Tian is reacting..." Tang Zhi couldn't help but shed tears of happiness. She didn't want anything bad to happen to her lovely son in law.

Zhang Ruoyan also nodded, showing the same expression as Tang Zhi. They were eagerly waiting for their son-in-law to wake up.

Tang Jingtian and Mu Shen smiled as they also followed the others, all heading towards the Mu house.

In the courtyard of a large building, Xuanyuan Ling sensed the commotion in the sky and lifted her gaze, finding several figures flying swiftly toward the direction of the Mu house.

Xuanyuan Ling was surprised to see this, but soon thought that person might have reacted and awakened. She took a small crystal orb from her storage ring and broke it, when a light shot out from the crystals and flew in different directions.

Xuanyuan Ling stood up and disappeared from the place, taking the same direction as the others.

...

In the room of the Mu house, Ling Tian's eyelids trembled slightly. His fingers moved stiffly and tiredly, but this made the beautiful women in the room smile happily at the sight.

His body was bandaged in some parts where there were large wounds still healing.

Two beautiful and pretty little girls tenderly grasped both of Ling Tian's hands, looking nervously at their Master and wishing he would wake up.

Ling Tian was finally showing some movement...

All of them who were there stood around the large bed, nervously looking at Ling Tian, especially his eyes. The hope that he would quickly open his eyes could be seen in the gaze of each of the women.

Yun Mengxin felt that her heart would burst at any moment, feeling despair and longing for Ling Tian to quickly wake up. Thus, she would be able to remove that great weight from her heart that tormented her when she could do nothing to help her beloved man and just wait for him to regain consciousness.

Finally, after several seconds that seemed like an eternity to everyone, Ling Tian slowly opened his eyes.
