The Way of The Dao

"Being the last descendant from The Primordial Elemental Heart Sect and owner of The Mysterious Hongmeng Pagoda, I, Luo Hongmeng, am willing to take you as my heir... do you agree?"

These words shocked everyone!

The last descendant of the ancient Primordial Elemental Heart Sect!

And the true owner of the Mysterious Hongmeng Pagoda!

"So that's why the pagoda has the Hongmeng characters..." Ling Tian was slightly surprised to hear Luo Hongmeng, but he was curious as to how she was able to obtain this pagoda.

"Huh? M-me?"

Lang Qingzu was stunned and stammered as she felt the gaze of this young woman, Luo Hongmeng, fall on her and asked with an expectant expression.

"Yes, you are the best suitable candidate to get my inheritance... after all, it is not easy to find someone with your constitution and dao heart." Luo Hongmeng nodded and she added, "Besides, your cultivation technique is much better than mine, so my power and thus my inheritance are perfectly made for you."

Lang Qingzu was dumbfounded, she couldn't help but turn to look at Ling Tian looking for his answer.

"Come." Ling Tian nodded with a smile to Lang Qingzu as he walked towards Luo Hongmeng. He stood and waited for Lang Qingzu to approach.

"E-en!" Lang Qingzu finally nodded and she quickly walked towards Ling Tian and Luo Hongmeng.

Lang Qingzu felt nervous and looked somewhat nervously at Luo Hongmeng and even Ling Tian. Her heart was pounding with nerves as she realized that these two people were clearly beyond her imagination, with a heavenly force that could destroy the entire world.

Ling Tian let out a small laugh and shook his head, his hand reached out and patted Lang Qingzu's head, stiffening her for a moment before her heart calmed down and she smiled a little feeling better.

"Lang Qingzu is willing to receive your inheritance!" Lang Qingzu cupped her fists respectfully towards Luo Hongmeng.

"Even though you have opened your Knowledge Sea, you still won't be able to control this mysterious pagoda, so I will give it to your sect ancestor and he will pass it on to you until you reach at least the Separation and Reunion realm... do you agree?" Luo Hongmeng looked at Lang Qingzu for a few seconds and then at Ling Tian.

"En! Zu'er agrees!" Lang Qingzu nodded at once. Lang Qingzu had no problem with Ling Tian temporarily staying with the pagoda, after all, she was getting these things because of Ling Tian!

"I know that you are a supreme existence who reached an unimaginable height, and therefore this pagoda may not enter your eyes. But I ask you to temporarily keep it for her until she has the strength to control it completely." Luo Hongmeng looked at Ling Tian and she said respectfully.

"In fact, I am curious about this pagoda, I understand that pagoda is the core of this mysterious realm. Therefore, I want to know how you obtained this pagoda or who gave it to you." Ling Tian thought for a few moments and added, "Did you by any chance create this secret realm through the pagoda?"

Ling Tian's mind had many questions; Luo Hongmeng might have been able to create this mysterious little realm? And if she did, how did she accomplish it?

Luo Hongmeng looked at Ling Tian for several seconds before slowly nodding.

"The pagoda is an artifact that fell into our world millions of years ago, it was exactly a mini pagoda like the one you saw that was the core. However, no one could figure out how to activate it or make it recognize an owner until it fell into my hands and I managed to activate it through my cultivation technique and a lot of Chi spiritual energy..." Luo Hongmeng said.

"How did you manage to build this little secret realm?" Ling Tian had wanted to ask this for a long time.

"This little secret realm appeared once I managed to get the pagoda to recognize me. Although it wasn't like what you currently see in the beginning, it was itself a small personal world that over time slowly formed and steadily grew into what it is today." Luo Hongmeng looked off into the distance, her charming eyes gazing beyond the void.

"You mean it all came from the pagoda?" Ling Tian raised his eyebrows. This pagoda was probably more than a supreme immortal artifact, even perhaps managing to reach the divine level!

"Yes." Luo Hongmeng replied and said, "Because I needed a large amount of spiritual force and cultivation essence, the pagoda finally opened and I became the master of this entire mysterious realm."bender

"In fact, one of the people back then who helped me own this pagoda was the Primordial Warrior Princess."lights

Saying the latter, Luo Hongmeng turned to look at Xuan Li in the distance, a faint gleam of nostalgia and sadness appeared in her gaze.

"I'm sorry for taking away your halberd, it's just that I really needed it." Luo Hongmeng apologized towards Xuan Li, her voice reaching her smoothly.

"O-okay..." Xuan Li nodded confusedly, accepting Luo Hongmeng's apology.

"Do you have something to do with the Primordial Warrior Princess? What is your relationship with her?" Ling Tian couldn't help but frown and ask.

Luo Hongmeng looked at Xuan Li for several more seconds before she let out a sigh and said, "The Great Primordial Warrior Princess, who at that time had yet to inherit the title and still had a long way to go to become one of the most powerful cultivators in the world was my big sister."

Ling Tian couldn't help but be surprised by this, so the famous Primordial Warrior Princess was Luo Hongmeng's big sister?

"Although we did not share blood, and we were also not from the same sect, we felt that we were really blood sisters, with a very close bond." Luo Hongmeng added.

Ling Tian was silent as his mind processed all the information at an unimaginable speed, remembering many things.

Luo Hongmeng's gaze had filled with a hint of loneliness, nostalgia, longing and sadness.

"Big sister... are you okay?"

Suddenly, Lang Qingzu asked with some hesitation and concern as she saw Luo Hongmeng's wistful expression, somehow reminding her as if she was watching her beloved big sister Xuan Li.

Luo Hongmeng blinked somewhat dazedly before shaking her head and subsequently smiling, looking at Lang Qingzu and saying, "I'm fine, just a little sad that my important people are gone." Looking at Lang Qingzu, Luo Hongmeng couldn't help but soften, somehow seeing herself in Lang Qingzu when she was around her age.

"I think they will be fine, so they wouldn't want you to be sad!" Lang Qingzu replied with a smile after a few seconds.

Luo Hongmeng couldn't help but smile gratefully. Hundreds and thousands of years of loneliness, defending and protecting this world to prevent powerful enemies and ferocious beasts from wreaking havoc, caused Luo Hongmeng to feel infinite nostalgic loneliness.

"The Primordial Warrior Princess was one of the existences of that era who defended and obtained the necessary time so that The Great Seal of Divine Ancestral Protection could be placed... I feel that you were one of those few people as well, or am I wrong?" Ling Tian asked.

"You're right, I fought alongside my big sister and other more powerful people to defend us from the demonic hordes." Luo Hongmeng nodded solemnly and she added, "Before we could realize it, both my big sister and I, and all the other comrades, were trapped by a powerful spiritual energy that completely suppressed us. When I realized it, I had managed to survive because I planted a part of my soul essence in this pagoda, staying in this place by becoming a spiritual remnant of my true soul ever since. I couldn't even feel the traces of my original soul, so I had actually died physically." Luo Hongmeng sighed helplessly. This remnant of her original soul was all that was left of her.

"Ever since then you've been defending yourself against these new enemies that appeared over time." Ling Tian said.

"Yes, because this secret realm was not fully restricted by that seal, over time many powerful existences sensed this secret realm and tried to attack me and take control of this place, with one of them being very powerful which was the one you faced, being as powerful almost as that person who placed the seal on the world to get rid of the demonic beasts." Luo Hongmeng nodded at Ling Tian's words.

"That's why this realm is connected to the other cultivation worlds of this plane?" Ling Tian turned to look at Di Ji, Li Fengyuan and Feng Zhiyun. These women clearly belonged to another cultivation world.

Luo Hongmeng nodded and said, "I felt the presence of demonic beasts and knew that in the future they would appear once again, therefore I had to spread my secret realm throughout this universe and try to strengthen myself while attracting fierce spirit beasts and demonic beasts here."

Ling Tian was silent, as he felt respect for this woman. Hundreds and thousands of years in soul form, defending the world and doing everything so that disaster would not happen again not just anyone would do it. Even though it was not her duty and she would gain nothing, Luo Hongmeng still did it.

"Do you know the identity of that person who placed The Great Seal of Divine Ancestral Protection?" Ling Tian asked solemnly, as he thought inwardly about the mystery of how it was that these powerful ancient existences had suddenly disappeared once The Great Seal of Divine Ancestral Protection was placed, could it be that this very formation had something to do with their deaths?

"I only know that he appeared before us one day and demonstrated his mastery of the formation field. Before we could search for more information about him, the final horde of demonic beasts broke out and we had to fight to the end." Luo Hongmeng frowned remembering the past. She raised her hand and a small beautiful yellow butterfly formed on it, the butterfly flew gently and arrived in front of Ling Tian, "This is all I know about that time."

Ling Tian watched the little yellow butterfly fly in front of him and absorbed it into his knowledge sea. There he refined the little yellow butterfly that was actually a packet of information from Luo Hongmeng.
