The Way of The Dao

"A-are we there?"

A shocked voice was heard on the small deck of a flying ship among the clouds.

"That's right, this is Yuan Le City."

Lu Wuhu finished inserting part of his spirit sense into the drive center that controlled much of the flying ship. He turned to look at Shan Qingwu and replied with a smile, realizing this woman's surprise and shock that this seemed to be the first time she had seen this.

Shan Qingwu gazed in amazement at the place from the sky, feeling her heart pounding at an unprecedented level of shock.

Dozens of people of all ages were flying in the sky with flying swords, and several of them flying without these swords!

Flying ships and boats of different sizes could also be seen in the sky!

Even high buildings ranging from small rustic houses to impressive castles were scattered all over the city!

Spiritual birds, spiritual animals, from sparrows, crows and striking doves also danced in the air, adding to the beautiful scenery!

This city truly was a place of paradise, a fairy dream place of legends, with wonders and beauty everywhere. The different but beautiful and proud robes of every living thing in this place further remarked the place of being a fairy paradise. The buildings that were so imposing gave the feeling that this city was endless to look at.

"Is this your first time in a high-level city, Sister Qingwu?"

Then, a melodious and pleasant voice was heard, startling Shan Qingwu and bringing her out of her immersion.

"Yes, senior sister Xue. I've never been to this kind of place before..." Shan Qingwu nodded with some blushing and nervousness, realizing that she had been lost in the commotion. Her gaze met Xue Ning's honey-colored eyes.

After chatting for a long time with this amazing woman who was as young as she was and beautiful in appearance, Shan Qingwu and Xue Ning quickly shared amazing friendship, especially sharing information regarding Ling Tian even if it was little. Although the former still called Xue Ning with more respect and formality, especially due to their differences between their states. The strong is respected while the weak is worthless, so Shan Qingwu knew that she belonged to the second side.

"All right! When we have time I'll take you to a small but amazing city in my world. I'm sure you'll love it!"

Xue Ning looked at Shan Qingwu for a few seconds before telling her with a smile. Although she had told Shan Qingwu several times that she wouldn't have to be so formal, she somewhat understood this girl's temperament and she was sure that she wouldn't change her mentality at a moment's notice, so she decided to stop trying to correct her.

"This is the main and biggest city in the whole world, martial sister Qingwu! You can find almost everything here!"

A cheerful and beaming voice was heard at once. Xuanyuan Haoyun appeared at the side and also nodded with a proud smile, demonstrating the wonder of this city, as if on one hand he did not want to be inferior to Shan Qingwu. After all, Xuanyuan Haoyun could not see her level and discovered from Lu Wuhu that this shy, nervous and cautious woman had a cultivation base in the realm of Separation and Reunion, two whole great realms of difference from him!

Xuanyuan Haoyun did not know what was going on. His big sister who just a few months ago was weaker than him was now completely surpassing him! While every single one of the heavenly and divine women he met at the residence were expert powerhouses in the realm!

And all of this was due to his supposed Grandmaster!

Who really was this powerful and mysterious Grandmaster? He is so omnipotent and unique that he can easily grow one's cultivation bases as if he was breathing? Xuanyuan Haoyun could find no other logical explanation other than Ling Tian being the origin of all this!

"Are we there yet?"

Xuanyuan Ling showed up almost at once, calmly looking at Yuan Le City. But there was nothing but calm and tranquility in her eyes. This great city of the past that she saw as imposing in the past now seemed like just another city only slightly larger than the others. Perhaps spending time with her Grandmaster and hearing all the things of the Immortal Realm tempered Xuanyuan Ling's mind, broadening her mind and realizing that there will always be something better. 

Now there was a calm and indifferent expression on Xuanyuan Ling's face, and if one were to look more closely, they could notice a great similarity in her gaze with Ling Tian, even to the point of slightly having the corner of her lips raised almost like Ling Tian when he puts on an indifferent smile, but demonstrating unflappability and unparalleled elegance!

"Ho? Are we there yet?"

As if to prove that not only the expression similar to Ling Tian but also their tones in their voice were almost the same, Ling Tian's voice was finally heard as he appeared together with Long Yuyin and Mu Shuiruo holding hands.

"Big Brother!" Xue Ning's gaze flashed at the sight of Ling Tian. Everyone turned to look at him, amazed at the glowing aura he radiated, like a dew of life.

Ling Tian nodded with a smile, but conveying a refreshing and charming feeling, giving the feeling as if he was a middle-aged man who had rejuvenated in body and soul several years after ingesting a thousand-year-old elixir of immortality, with a big, happy and pleasant smile.

Beside him, Long Yuyin and Mu Shuiruo had their cheeks flushed, especially the latter. Their beautiful dresses and robes were different, clearly one did not have to be clever to think of what had happened. It's just that they were both nervous and shy knowing that they all easily thought what they had done; although they were clearly wives and husband and it was normal to do this, being seen through by other people was clearly embarrassing!

However, their bright faces had that dew that Ling Tian seemed to emanate, as if spring had come and spread its unparalleled magic, filling the farmland with vitality and energy and giving a beautiful paradise unlike any other. Their happy and pleasant smiles behind their blushing faces clearly confirmed this point.

Just as Ling Tian longed for them after being separated from them all this time, each and every one of them also yearned for him. Yearning and longing for every second to see their beloved great husband again.

They even tried new positions and techniques that they didn't know could deliver so much pleasure... though it made them feel more embarrassed and shy afterwards as they realized at the end.

"It seems like nothing has changed since then." Ling Tian approached the edge of the flying ship without letting go of Mu Shuiruo and Long Yuyin's hands, keeping them at his sides and letting them witness Yuan Le City with a smile. This should be the first time they should be looking at such a large cultivation city.

"Wow! It really is a cultivation city?"

Indeed, Mu Shuiruo's surprising voice came and she looked at the entire Yuan Le City in awe, slightly forgetting the shyness she felt. Dozens of people were flying in the sky, flying ships and flying boats were moving on the horizon!

Like Shan Qingwu, Mu Shuiruo was amazed by everything she saw. Ling Tian had told them a lot about him and what he knew, as well as places and events in the Immortal World, but being able to witness it with her eyes still amazed her.

Long Yuyin was silent as well, but her gaze shone with excitement and awe as well, observing every being and every structure that entered her gaze. Her free hand tightened in excitement as she realized that this place was completely different from the other places she had been. Long Yuyin could even sense many powerful auras! Although these were still nowhere near the state of the Great Ascension, it was enough to demonstrate a terrifying power no weaker than the great experts.

"The Alchemy Association is that huge building over there. Brother Guan should be there right now." Lu Wuhu pointed towards one of the huge buildings in the distance.

When their gazes landed on the building, they could see that it gave them an imposing feeling from afar. Even the structures and buildings around it were no slouch in terms of size and power!

Ling Tian frowned slightly as he noticed some small, faint gray clouds in the sky that went almost unnoticed.

Could that sly brat be doing that...? 

Ling Tian thought of something related to Daihang Guan and shook his head with a smile. But this smile had some pride and satisfaction in it.

The flying ship passed unnoticed in the city and quickly arrived in front of the Alchemy Association.

When Ling Tian and everyone got off, they could notice that this Alchemy Association was gigantic and huge, with many buildings scattered around. Various thick aromas of hundreds of grass and plants could be smelled in the air.

Some of the guards guarding the entrance were surprised when Ling Tian and the others appeared.

"What do you need? Come to buy or sell materials?"

One of the guards asked formally with a serious tone but with a touch of respect, showing no arrogance or disdain. Although he was a guard in this place, he also had the role of guiding the guests according to their needs. His gaze was fixed on Ling Tian and then the others, being stunned to see the women as beautiful as the legendary fairies immortalized in paintings and recorded in classics. A frown couldn't help but appear on his face when he noticed that Ling Tian was a cripple, but it didn't go any further than that. It was normal for crippled cultivators to come to this place to get medicinal pills.

Ling Tian raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise. It seemed that things had indeed changed a bit...

"They are with me. I come to see my brother."

Suddenly, Lu Wuhu's voice came as he came to Ling Tian's side and looked at the guard at the entrance who had asked.

"E-Elder Lu!"

The next moment, this guard who had shown a serious expression was surprised and bowed to Lu Wuhu full of excitement. And then he said.

"We welcome Elder Lu! Please come in without any worries!"

The other guards were surprised for a moment before they looked at Lu Wuhu in amazement and bowed in respect to him.

This 20-something young man was one of the leading and powerful Elders of the Great Alchemy Association! His status and power were incomparable!

Stares of awe and adoration fell on Lu Wuhu.

"It's alright, it's no big deal. I'm here to see my brother on a very important matter. Master, let's go! It's in this direction!"

Lu Wuhu waved his hand and showed the way for Ling Tian, showing a helpful and humble posture as he showed the way.

Master?

Soon after Lu Wuhu and the others disappeared from the place, the guards were stunned as they remembered the word Lu Wuhu had said.

One of the great and powerful Elders of this Alchemy Association had addressed someone as his Master?

The next moment, commotion spread throughout the place as the rumor that Elder Lu Wuhu had referred to someone as his Master.
