The Way of The Dao

Chapter 885 (Vol 3) – Luo Hongmeng Will Always Be In His Heart

Once outside the cave, Ling Tian took one last look at this place. He took a deep breath for several seconds before exhaling again. His eyelashes lifted slightly, with a gloomy, reluctant color as he tried to pull his gaze away. His right hand clenched into a fist, trembling slightly, still slightly sensing Luo Hongmeng's aura. 

Ling Tian's heart was in chaos at this moment. The pain overwhelmed him in an instant. 

The illusion of the heart of the world that he experienced with Luo Hongmeng not only affected his soul, but also his heart. 

Ling Tian had planned to let Luo Hongmeng fall in love with someone else, but thinking of it in a different way, the result would be different and Luo Hongmeng might even feel it more fake and forced, even though she was aware of being an illusion.

But... true love can only emerge when the two sides are sincerely involved. 

Now, if Ling Tian said that he didn't have genuine and sincere feelings for Luo Hongmeng it would be a lie. That's why he tried to keep these feelings for Luo Hongmeng locked up deep in his heart and not run straight to her when he saw her again, trying to restrain himself. 

After all, it was a sincere and genuine life that was lived and experienced in illusion.

Knowing that he would no longer see Luo Hongmeng, Ling Tian could not contain himself briefly. The pain he felt was almost as if he felt that one of his beloved wives was going to die and he couldn't do anything to prevent it. 

Luo Hongmeng's presence had lodged in a space in his heart... 

Yang Jing silently observed Ling Tian's gaze, but she said nothing. She had listened to this man's exchange of words with the primordial heart holy maiden, and the expression of the two of them seeing each other belonged to that of a true and real couple, as of true spouses. 

However, Yang Jing did not understand how the two of them could be husband and wife, as she understood that the holy maiden was only a piece of soul left before she died, and this man beside her was clearly alive, flesh and blood, so it made no sense for the two of them to be lovers. Could it be that Ling Tian was a true immortal who had lived since ancient times? That way it would make sense for him to be the partner of the primordial heart holy maiden. 

Yang Jing was silent, not knowing what to say. Moreover, she still distrusted Ling Tian, so she couldn't do much more than remain silent. 

Ling Tian took another couple of deep breaths, finally mysteriously feeling his heart being enveloped by warmth and affection, as if he could feel a pair of arms hugging him, enveloping him with love, before other arms did the same, lovingly embracing him and trying to reassure him. 

Ling Tian's heavy and painful breathing finally subsided, with a faint grateful smile as he felt the feelings of his wives surging in his heart despite being far away from him, with Ling Tian feeling that they were with him in spirit and soul, comforting him with affection. The agitation in his heart subsided. 

* Flutter~ * 

* Flutter~ * 

A small butterfly of a beautiful amber color giving off a glow between yellow and gold came out of the cave, fluttering its wings and reaching towards Ling Tian. 

Ling Tian unconsciously reached out his hand, opening his palm to allow the butterfly made of spiritual force to land on it. 

The butterfly flapped its wings beautifully in front of Ling Tian's gaze, as if encouraging him to cheer up before turning into particles of spiritual force and enveloping Ling Tian, comforting him. 

Ling Tian took a deep breath and finally calmed down completely. Luo Hongmeng seemed to be stronger than him, as despite being in the same condition she still expressed to him to go ahead and cheer up as she noticed his state of mind. 

"Thank you..." Ling Tian whispered with a soft smile. 

Luo Hongmeng had not completely disappeared, so she was still in this world, and so it would forever be, with her being in Ling Tian's heart. As long as he kept that feeling with him, Luo Hongmeng would always be with him. 

"Let's go." Ling Tian said faintly, directing the flying sword he and Yang Jing were on, flying upwards to get out of the abyss they were in. 

Yang Jing nodded slightly and sat on the surface of the large sword, while a force wrapped around her so that she wouldn't fall and be affected by the wind. Ling Tian stood behind her, letting Yang Jing see the entire landscape in front. 

Once they stepped out of the abyss and flew over the cliff, they both noticed that it was empty; the guys who had tried to hurt Yang Jing and her brother were gone, which meant they had left thinking they had died to the fall. 

Ling Tian analyzed the information Luo Hongmeng had given him, understanding the boundaries of what was once the Primordial Elemental Heart sect, as well as the likely locations that contained the treasures stored under protective formations and arrays. 

"We'll go look to see if there are any cultivation resources left, after that we'll head straight to the north state." 

Ling Tian said indifferently to Yang Jing. He no longer felt like wandering around meaninglessly in this state anymore. His disciples and the rest were no longer here, so there was no point in staying any longer in this place that would only provoke painful memories related to Luo Hongmeng. 

Taking direction towards the nearest place, Ling Tian directed the flying sword together with Yang Jing. 

... 

"Die!" 

* Bang! *

A male body flew out, impacting against the wall and dying on the spot. 

"Kill!" 

"The treasures are mine!" 

"Die!" 

Various shouts conveying killing intent to terror flooded the space, with dozens of people fighting each other as they killed each other, before continuing to attack each other. 

The sounds of impact between swords, spears and other weapons intermingled with the screams of terror and anguish. 

"What's a little girl doing here? Are you stupid?" 

A voice full of madness spread as the next moment a sword fell directly towards a girl who appeared to be about 15 years old as she entered in this place. 

This girl's pupils shrank fiercely as she was unable to move due to the enemy's aura, seeing how the sword was about to fall on her head and kill her. 

* Slash! * 

A light metallic clash between weapons reverberated in place, before a sword was split by a strange spear, while the winning side's aura crushed the enemy. 

The man who tried to assassinate the girl couldn't help but retreat several steps as a young man's sword forced him back, feeling the lack of strength. A mouthful of blood erupted instantly. 

A handsome boy in simple but elegant clothes stood in front of this young girl, gazing with his cold eyes at the man. The aura he exuded kept increasing, easily suppressing the man who wanted to kill the girl. 

"Shit!" 

The man snorted hurt and didn't hesitate to run in another direction, escaping when he realized that several more women appeared along with this boy, expelling auras more powerful than him. 

"Where are you going?" 

The young man snorted and without hesitation threw the spear towards the man. 

The man tried to dodge the spear when he saw that it was about to reach him. The muscles in his body tensed and forced to move to the side, trying to avoid the spear. 

"But what..." 

A stunned voice, full of reluctance to accept death came from the man as the spear pierced his heart easily, piercing his skin as if it was paper and penetrating his heart as if it were mere tofu. 

The man's body quickly fell to the ground, with no sign of life. 

"Are you okay?" The young man looked at the girl and asked with a smile. 

"Mhmn! I'm fine! Thank you so much, big brother!" The girl responded happily and gratefully when she saw this young man and the three women accompanying him. 

"Dandan!" 

A voice called out from afar, causing the girl to become dazed before she quickly recognized the voice, turning to look in another direction.

"Big brother Moyu!" Mio Yidan exclaimed full of relief, recognizing Shang Moyu, her martial brother from the sect. 

"Dandan! Are you okay?" 

A girl about 20 years old coming behind Shang Moyu stepped forward and approached Mio Yidan, hugging her, soothing her worries. 

"Big sister Yi'er!" Mio Yidan smiled brightly at the sight of Chang Yi, as well as everyone else. 

"Are you alright, Dandan?" Shang Moyu approached and let out a sigh when he saw that Mio Yidan didn't seem to be hurt. 

After entering this place, they had to separate when a terrifying battle between experts from the foundation establishment and some of the golden core fought right away. 

The shockwaves of the battles forced almost everyone to separate from their teammates and allies, looking for a way to escape to save their lives and then try to reunite again. 

Mio Yidan was among the last people left to be found, so they were relieved to see that she was okay. 

"I'm fine, big brother!" Mio Yidan nodded with a smile. 

"That's good!" Shang Moyu felt the weight in his heart lighten.

"In fact, this big brother and big sisters took care of me all this time!" 

Mio Yidan smiled even wider and pointed at the four young people behind her, one man and three women. 

Shang Moyu and the others had already noticed these people, so upon hearing Mio Yidan's words and understanding that they had protected her, they quickly cupped their fists showing gratitude. 

"I thank you for protecting my junior sister, I don't have much to repay your grace with, so hopefully you will accept this!" 

Shang Moyu saluted and the next moment took out a jade jar containing a mysterious blue pill inside. 

"This is a golden core grade pill, which can break through the realm boundaries and allow you to advance a stage or two!" Shang Moyu explained in a nutshell. 

Although he had to fight to obtain this pill, Shang Moyu did not hesitate to exchange it for the saving grace towards Mio Yidan. 

This pill could not only help one enter the golden core stage, but also break through the barriers and advance to the middle stage or even the late stage in golden core experts! 

The young man looked at the jade jar but he shook his hand. A smile appeared on him. 

"It's okay, it's not necessary! It was just a matter of moving the hand!" The young man smiled and added, "Besides, your junior sister Dandan is very good and gentle, so my wives and I had no problem protecting her!" 

Shang Moyu and the others were stunned to hear the words of this young man who looked to be in his early twenties, as young as they were and yet he already had wives. 

They looked at the women beside the young man, surprised to see that they were so beautiful and pretty. The young man was no slouch in terms of appearance either, he was also very handsome and attractive. 

However, Shang Moyu shook his head inwardly, placing the jade jar aside as he watched him while a greater sense of gratitude arose in him. 

"I can't finish expressing all my gratitude towards you for protecting my junior sister, so I can only promise that if there is anything you need in the future I will do it with all my efforts!" Shang Moyu said seriously before smiling again, "My name is Shang Moyu, but you can call me brother Moyu! May I know how I can call you?" 

This young man proved to be very calm and good, gentle enough to help Mio Yidan and not take advantage of her, especially since Mio Yidan was still very naive and innocent. 

The boy smiled and raised his hand, directing it towards Shang Moyu in the form of a more friendly greeting. 

"My name is Tang Jingtian, but you can call me brother Jingtian too!"
