The Way of The Dao

Chapter 855 The New Capital Of The South State, Qingwei City!

After being teleported by space force and traveling tens of kilometers for a certain amount of time, Ling Tian saw in the distance the outline of Qingwei City, the current capital of the south state, beginning to appear.

The cultivation resources Ling Tian had given to the elders of the Desolate Land Sect some time ago were a small part of the resources he had collected in the valley near Moushen City, where he encountered quite a few cultivators who attacked him and wanted to steal his things.

Ling Tian killed them and of course did not forget to take their rings and storage bags, while the inheritances of several strong cultivators who had passed away long ago were not spared from him either.

Thus, the gift of those cultivation resources was a form of thanks to the sect and a way to make up for his karma with them. The Desolate Land Sect was his first sect that he officially joined, and although he was not with them for long, it was still his first sect.

"Those who respect and help me I will repay them tenfold, and even more..." Ling Tian murmured softly.

Being his first sect and not encountering trouble or contempt from them, Ling Tian was grateful to them. Ling Tian was only repaying several times over with more than what the sect spent on him.

"But those who offend me and try to mess with me, even returning the offense a hundred times won't be enough for them!" Ling Tian coldly snorted as a faint imposing aura emerged from him.

This was always his motto throughout his cultivation journey so far!

If you don't offend me, I won't offend you!

If you respect me, I will respect you!

Those who support me, I will repay you tenfold!

But those who try to mess with me, even a hundred times will not be enough to pay them back!

As long as you don't try to meddle in my own affairs, you won't even interest me in the least!

Throughout his journey to the peak of immortal cultivation, Ling Tian always abided by this motto!

Ling Tian didn't care about the taunts, disdain, sneering looks and their unscrupulous voices, as long as they didn't get in his way, he would ignore them. Scornful glances or ridiculous voices will always exist, especially for the weak. Ling Tian knew this and endured it when his cultivation was low.

Once Ling Tian returned again with overwhelming and superior strength, those who mocked or ridiculed him became silent and submitted to him. Some tried to fight but Ling Tian easily suppressed them, while a few were committed suicide when they could not live with the thought that Ling Tian could kill them at any time because of their past contempt for him.

And while those who injured or tried to assassinate Ling Tian on his journey, those guys had died under his fist or sword regardless of whether they had powerful backing!

A tiny golden glint briefly crossed Ling Tian's eyes as his aura surged, before breathing softly and regaining his aura. His gaze swept across the city in the distance as he continued to expand his spirit sense in search of Hao Zhentian and the others.

Ling Tian also crossed through several small towns and villages, but did not stop. The south state, despite being the smallest state, was still vast and long, much larger than the small worlds.

If not for the ability to move easily through space, Ling Tian estimated that it would take him at least several hours to reach the current new capital if he flew by himself or with a flying sword. Using a flying artifact would greatly reduce the travel time, not to mention using space force.

"It's much bigger than Rongrou City."

Ling Tian's spirit sense which was severely damaged this time, extended and still completely covered Qingwei City, allowing him to see the entire city once he got close enough.

Qingwei City was several times larger than Rongrou City!

No wonder it became the new capital of the south state!

Qingwei City, now the new capital of the south state, was close to the coastal area, stretching along the coast while countless city guards were posted at every entrance. Even many guards patrolled the sky and kept watch all around, while those at the entrance checked all who entered.

"The strongest guards in this place are at the maximum state of the Foundation Establishment, while further back in the barren and lonely places where I passed a Foundation Establishment cultivator is a family or clan elder, or even the head."

Ling Tian took a quick glance at the guards before averting his gaze. Inside the city, several powerful breaths could be felt that even reached the Nascent Soul state!

And these breaths, Ling Tian could sense were somewhat unstable but strong, which meant that they had recently broken through.

"The destruction of The Great Seal of Divine Ancestral Protection undoubtedly brought great changes to everyone, allowing the aura to resurface more strongly and benefit everyone."

Having destroyed the formation in the void, Ling Tian was more certain that the guy who placed this formation undoubtedly had other secret plans that were not so simple, as he at least did not want the cultivators of this world to become strong... but... why?

Ling Tian sent this problem to the back of his mind, right now he only had this guy's information that Luo Hongmeng had given him, as well as that of the Primordial Warrior Princess' guardians, so it was impossible to find out more.

As long as he had enough strength and regained his power, Ling Tian would not worry much.

Ling Tian disappeared from his place and quickly reappeared inside the city, avoiding the line at the main entrance.

Quickly, Ling Tian went to the establishment where letters and information from the other places were sent and received.

"Those brats aren't here?" Ling Tian frowned when he found no trace of Hao Zhentian's aura and the others once he left the establishment and roamed around the city quickly, "There's not even any news of little Wei..."

There was no news about the whereabouts of Hao Zhentian and the others, let alone Shin Wei, which worried and made Ling Tian more strange.

At this moment, Ling Tian regretted not asking Shin Wei more about the exact whereabouts of Hao Zhentian and the others. Ling Tian did not know that he would also end up in the south state soon after, so it was somewhat unforeseen.

However, the news that Deng Tianjin left him was that he had arrived in the east state with the disciples and did not have much, which meant that they had not long ago used the teleportation platform. There was even information that a couple of days ago they had arrived in this city.

"I'll wait a few days here, if I don't find any clues about these guys I'll go to the east state... maybe they're already there."

Ling Tian thought that, probably Shin Wei had caught up with them quickly and all of them were now in his flying artifact, preventing them from entering this city and going straight to the east state while passing part of the heartless sea.

If that was not the case, they would most likely have to pass through here and use the teleportation platform to travel, so Ling Tian would see them.

The teleportation platform in the city was available and working, so Ling Tian could quickly travel to the east state.

Ling Tian quietly hid several formation flags throughout the city and around the teleportation formation. If Hao Zhentian or Shin Wei appeared, Ling Tian could easily detect their auras.

He also did not forget to leave information and ask Deng Tianjin if he knew anything about Hao Zhentian or Shin Wei, and in case he knew anything to notify him at once.

Subsequently, Ling Tian found an inn to rest and recuperate, he paid for his lodging with some stones and spiritual crystals he obtained earlier.

Ling Tian set up a small formation in his room to quietly attract the aura, focusing on continuing to repair his meridians and see if he could repair much of his dantian while waiting for some news.

In the early mornings, Ling Tian would leave the capital and travel to the nearby plains or forests, and begin to practice the exercises of the [Tai Chi Technique] before the sun rose on the horizon, tempering his body and hoping that he could attract some trace of the Legendary Purple Chi, trying to gather it since a small idea had materialized for a while now and was still lingering.

The rest of the day, Ling Tian cultivated and focused on repairing his meridians. He even performed alchemy, creating some high-level spiritual and medicinal pills with the spiritual herbs he collected. Ling Tian also took out the bracelet he had taken back from Mu Shuiruo since it had been broken and placed it in the cauldron, modifying it slightly and adding various formations on it, taking his time while creating some different spiritual tools and weapons.

Ling Tian also did not forget to look for news about the disciples, unfortunately receiving none. Only Zhen Bingluo, Gao Xue and Gao Yue replied to him every day, informing him about changes in the sect and some news from the north state.

Long Yuyin and the other women also sent news from time to time along with Zhen Bingluo and the others, reporting that they were doing well too and were even in seclusion, trying to become stronger even if just a little.

More than 15 days had passed when in the morning after returning from outside, Ling Tian was about to head to the communication facility when he sensed a familiar aura.

Quickly Ling Tian disappeared from the place where he was and headed towards a part of the city.
