The Way of The Dao

Chapter 846 Go To Punish Walking Idiots

"Oh! Big brother, there they are!"

After a few minutes, Lang Qingzu exclaimed in surprise and excitement upon seeing Xuan Li from afar. Her heart was beating intensely happy to see that all her other big brothers and big sisters were also there, as well as one of her sect elders!

"Master."

"Supreme Ancestor of Sect!"

Deng Tianjin looked at Ling Tian once he and Lang Qingzu appeared in front of all of them while the other kids smiled at Lang Qingzu and showed their respects again to Ling Tian. Their eyes looked with curiosity and filled with respect, adoration and even a bit of fear at the sight of him; the image of the infinite huge dragon in that previous place told them every moment that this sect ancestor was terrifyingly very powerful!

Ling Tian nodded causally at the greeting of these guys, not wanting them to become so formal when the older in appearance of them, Shi Yunfeng, looked to be about 20 years old.

"Ancestor!" Xuan Li also did not lag behind and she respectfully greeted Ling Tian. She looked at Lang Qingzu with a relieved smile to see that she was fine.

"Here's your spiritual weapon, thank you for lending it to me." Ling Tian took out the halberd that belonged to the Primordial Warrior Princess and handed it to Xuan Li. Although Ling Tian could have exploited the abilities of this halberd he did not, as at one point he still felt a faint spiritual mark within it, which caused Ling Tian to only use it superficially and without using any skills like the ones Xuan Li had shown earlier.

"Thank you, sect ancestor!" Xuan Li took the halberd in her hands and she thanked Ling Tian sincerely. Xuan Li clearly remembered Ling Tian's movements in her mind when he was using her halberd, so she was fascinated and couldn't wait to train and familiarize herself with her halberd as well as Ling Tian.

"If you have any problems with it or something unexpected happens, look for me and I'll help you." Ling Tian patted Xuan Li's small head with a smile. If Xuan Li noticed something about the halberd, then some of his thoughts might be real.

"Thank you, ancestor..."

Xuan Li whispered gratefully as her face was painted into a beautiful but shy smile, with the gazes of the others falling on her and even feeling somewhat jealous to see that this sect ancestor was getting along well with some of their martial sisters.

"B-big... ancestor!" Lang Qingzu pouted slightly before she took Ling Tian's hand again, a smile full of triumph appearing on her small face once she noticed the gazes of the others on her.

Ling Tian laughed lightly as he noticed this little girl's behavior, much like Lan Yin and Qing Sha, being cunning and mischievous.

"Master, what do you plan to do now?"

Deng Tianjin approached and asked once he was sure that there was no one else near the place anymore. Although this place was clearly where they had entered several days ago, there were no longer any people, properly because the portal had closed and no one could enter the Hongmeng secret realm, so they decided to finally leave and look for another portal nearby.

"Your other brothers are in the South state, little Zhentian, little Chen and little Xiang, and they are protecting my wives' families..."

Ling Tian reminded him in a few words what had happened and how it was that they were interrupted in the ascension and ended up scattered all of them, and even how Ling Tian ended up in the other Heavenly Sun Continent cultivation world with Shin Wei and Xuanyuan Ling.

"Once we got together and I saw your sisters at our residence we had information that Little Zhentian and the others appeared in this south state, but that they would move somewhat slowly as they were many and had low cultivation levels... little Wei had gone ahead and also came to look for them and accompany them back." Ling Tian finished saying.

"I see, master. And how is it that you managed to appear in this place? Were you also trapped by a void corridor?" Deng Tianjin asked.

"Several things happened..." Ling Tian smiled somewhat helplessly before patting the small heads of Xuan Li and Lang Qingzu who were beside him and said, "But if it hadn't been for that, I wouldn't have found these two girls."

Xuan Li and Lang Qingzu smiled happily as they felt the pats on their heads. The two of them were also happy and grateful that Ling Tian had found them, otherwise, they would both be mistreated and used as slaves by that family.

Deng Tianjin looked at both girls and smiled in relief; these two disciples of his sister, Zhen Bingluo, were rescued by Ling Tian.

"By the way, can you sense immortal ascension?" Ling Tian suddenly asked.

Deng Tianjin was momentarily stunned before nodding earnestly, "Yes, master, before entering the little secret realm I felt that some shackles of my cultivation were removed and I felt that I would face heavenly tribulation again, so I decided to suppress my power a little..."

After the great changes in the world, Deng Tianjin knew that something very intense was about to happen. His gaze focused on Ling Tian and he sighed inwardly as he remembered that all of this had been caused by Ling Tian when he was listening to him talking to Luo Hongmeng. The feeling he got as if he was going to face heavenly tribulation again intensified inside him, realizing and comprehending that this feeling was different and all pointed to the legendary immortal ascension that Ling Tian explained to them once in the past, when legendary cultivators could ascend and become immortal.

This Master who had always defended them from rain, thunder, storm and misfortune never ceased to amaze them with everything he did. Even being able to face those immortal existences, Deng Tianjin couldn't help but think about how strong Ling Tian had become, he couldn't even feel his cultivation level, as if his spirit sense was sinking to the bottom of the infinite sea.

"You'd better go back to the north state, your other sisters and brothers are there, and you have to bring order to the sect... I'll stay behind to look for clues from your other brothers, plus I have some unfinished business~" Ling Tian smiled faintly.

'Master is going to punish walking idiots...' Deng Tianjin couldn't help but think as he saw Ling Tian's expression. The memory of the past surged in his mind, recalling how they all got into trouble and then Ling Tian would go find them and defend them, but then scold them for the mischief they got into, and if the others turned out to be bad guys, Ling Tian would literally beat them into idiots.

"Are you thinking nonsense again?" Ling Tian raised his eyebrows slightly. Black lines appeared on his face as he couldn't help but remember the past when he noticed a flash of anticipation in Deng Tianjin's gaze, recalling the mischief and pranks these disciples were up to.

"No! Nothing, Master!" Deng Tianjin shook his head, quickly wiping the bead of sweat on his temple as he was caught by Ling Tian, quickly he said, "Then we'll go back to the sect!" His Master will still be his Master after all, and will always know what he thinks and feels.

"Don't take shortcuts again..." Ling Tian looked condescendingly at Deng Tianjin and added, "If you know anything about your brothers, let me know as we had always done in the past."

Deng Tianjin nodded earnestly.

"A-ancestor, are you not coming with us?"

Once they understood that they would finally return to the sect without Ling Tian, Lang Qingzu and Xuan Li looked worriedly at Ling Tian. After spending all this time together and facing many dangers, the level of trust and affection they had towards Ling Tian had grown and compared to that of their master Zhen Bingluo. After all, the words of their beloved master that reminded them about the identity of their grand master and the utmost importance of him had remained engraved in their hearts.

"Uhm!" Ling Tian smiled warmly and patted both of their heads, saying, "I have some unfinished business to attend to in this place still, just as I have to look for your other sect elders so that the sect can be complete once again. Besides, your master must be worried about you and she must be waiting for you to return."

Ling Tian wanted to continue searching for heavenly treasures and powerful cultivation resources that he can use to supplement the pill to repair his meridians and dantian. His power had increased, so his search would be faster if he was alone, plus he would look for clues from his other disciples who were with the rest of his wives' family.

"B-big bro... ancestor, take care! "

"All right, ancestor! Don't forget to let us know when you return to the sect!"

Xuan Li and Lang Qingzu hugged Ling Tian, with some tears in their little eyes. Neither of them wanted to be separated from their sect ancestor and wanted Ling Tian to go with them as well.

"If you have any problems with your cultivation let your master know and I'll see you later to help you."

Ling Tian patted both little heads one last time and smiled at the other disciples who looked on in curiosity and somewhat amazed at his interaction with Xuan Li and Lang Qingzu. Although they were just teenagers, they would be fine with Deng Tianjin by their side, a powerhouse at the top of the world.

"I will maintain the pagoda for you until you increase your cultivation level, you are already a very powerful cultivator, so you don't have to be anxious to become stronger. Go with the flow of time and do what you have always done and you will see that when you least expect it you will be as strong as your master. Sooner or later you will have this pagoda."

Ling Tian looked at Lang Qingzu and explained seriously. He checked the pagoda in his consciousness sea and saw that it was calm and stable, as if it was in a silent state and there was nothing wrong.

Lang Qingzu was already a cultivator in the Nascent Soul state just a few steps from reaching the peak and breaking through to the Body Condensation state, so it wouldn't be long before he would finally hand over the pagoda to her as he promised Luo Hongmeng.

"En!" Lang Qingzu nodded delightedly. She knew that this was all thanks to this supreme ancestor of the sect, so she will listen to his words.

"Take care of yourself, Master..." Deng Tianjin cupped his fists towards Ling Tian, followed by the other boys.

"Same goes for you guys."

Ling Tian smiled and patted Deng Tianjin's shoulder before suddenly disappearing in front of them.
