The Way of The Dao

Chapter 329 A Legacy?

?"Senior, excuse my rudeness, but do you belong to the animal race?"

Ling Tian couldn't stand his curiosity any longer and asked. He had a hunch that Linqi belonged to this extinct and amazing race.

Linqi nodded calmly and said, "That's right, I belong to the animal race and am a guardian of this place, guarding it all my life until I perish. I have been living here for hundreds of thousands of years after this place broke away from the former plane, waiting for the longed-for day to come."

Ling Tian heard this and could not help but feel more respect for this person.

Someone guarding a place for an eternity, alone and with no one to talk to, would be horrible and torturous.

"Those two spheres give me the intuition that they look like eggs." Ling Tian commented after a while, pointing out the curious shape of the two somewhat oval spheres.

"These two spheres are said to have been left by the first two divine beings who gave life and offspring to the animal race, those beings who were born first and gave life to the whole race.

We have thought that these two spheres are precisely eggs that contain the essence and direct descent of those first two ancestral beings, and that one day these spheres would break and the holy existence that will lead the animal race to be reborn once again would be born again.

In other cases it is mentioned that these two objects are a legacy that is destined to two people who are destined to be the reincarnation of the two great beings of the divine existence and that someday these two people would appear and be chosen to be carriers of our ancestors.

But that was a long time ago and now we don't really know what these two spheres are. I only hope that someday, even though I am gone, there can be a rebirth of these two sacred beings once again."

Linqi sighed as he tried to recall some memories from long ago related to the animal race.

"A legacy?" Ling Tian asked as he watched this mysterious shrine more closely.

Linqi shook his head expressing that even he did not know the answer to this: "Although many times there have been attempts to approach and take these eggs thinking that it could be an inheritance or legacy, an unknown and powerful force would reject every being that came close to the altar. Even those who try to force their way in and approach it could be harmed. That's why when you tried to observe with your spirit sense earlier I tried to avoid it and give you a subtle warning in the form of a feeling that you shouldn't do it so as not to hurt yourself, especially since you are a human and could probably be hurt more."

"I thank you for your earlier warning." Ling Tian thanked Linqi for what he had done earlier.

Linqi smiled at this. He had done the same with the other people who had accidentally entered this place and wanted to approach the altar.

"Tell me, what has happened in the Immortal World all this time?" Linqi changed the subject this time and asked.

Ling Tian began to relate what had happened in the Immortal World since he ascended and events that are of great importance.

"Most likely the connection of the Immortal World with the plane of the animal race disappeared, judging by what you say." Linqi held a hand to his chin while thinking, "But perhaps they could be somewhere else in the void."

"Did the animal race live on a different plane? Does that mean they could still be alive?" Ling Tian was surprised by this.

"Millions of years ago the Immortal World was the great central plane of the entire higher dimension, where all other races and planes of existence were concentrated. Judging by all that you have mentioned then the plane of the Immortal World must be slowly disappearing in time, losing the connection with the other worlds of the existential planes.

The last time I remember before entering this place and disappearing into the void, there began to be problems in wanting to travel to the Immortal World.

I still have a feeling that the animal race, as well as other races, can be locked up in their own existential plane without being able to access the Immortal World." Linqi responded after some time.

Ling Tian began to confirm that the animal race really existed long ago and that they had their own world. It was most likely that the other races also had their own world. And he too understood that Linqi had stayed here while he was lost in the void. Now they were on a lower plane so this must have happened long ago.

Although Ling Tian did not know about the altar and the divine beings Linqi mentioned, he did not decide to ask any more questions. He was already very grateful for everything Linqi had told him. If Linqi decided to tell him more about it, he would surely do so without his asking.

"If you continue with what you were doing before, you could learn a lot more about the Space Principle." Linqi told Ling Tian and added, "The method you use is the right one and this could help you a lot with your knowledge and manipulation of Space, so you would become a little stronger. And also, even if I wanted to help you I can't because I am practically tied up in this place and my strength has also been running out, so it would be much better if you could find your way as you always have, that way you would understand more things that would be beneficial to you.

Besides, you can stay in this place as long as you like, there is a rare configuration in the Time Law that even I cannot understand, so even if you spend an eternity here, in the Immortal World and other planes connected to it, it will not be long." Linqi commented and comforted Ling Tian not to worry too much about time.

"That's what I felt when I came to this place, there seems to be a strangeness with the Time Law." Ling Tian nodded that he too was aware of Time in this place. Confirming that indeed the time in this place was a little strange and it would be beneficial to him.

"Ah! By the way." Linqi remembered something and advised him, "Just pay a little more attention before you break through the space and you can understand the Principle of Space much more."

Linqi winked at Ling Tian after he finished.

Ling Tian was grateful once again.

Now that Linqi had also confirmed that Time in this place would be different from outside, he could take his time for this Special Technique he had begun to create.

Furthermore, Ling Tian was beginning to suspect that the Immortal World and the Cultivation World should have the same Law of Time, and, therefore, the worlds on the lower planes that are connected to the same line of the Cultivation World should also have the same Time Law.

Linqi disappeared quietly, and Ling Tian once again prepared himself while remembering the sensations of breaking space as he had done before.

Pay attention before breaking the space?

He already knew how to break the space, but had not paid attention to the process before the final result.

Ling Tian took a deep breath as he remembered the sensation of breaking the space before expelling all his power. Remembering what Linqi told him reminded him that before breaking the space there seemed to be a strange feeling.
