The Way of The Dao

Chapter 384 Decide

?"I just want to help you so that you can recover without any problems, your Laws and Principles of the World are slowly degrading..."

Huh?

Everyone was surprised to see Ling Tian speaking to the tree.

But even after a while, there was no response or voice....

Ling Tian slowly approached towards the tree again, without expelling any trace of power.

* Boom! *

Again, a burst of power expelled Ling Tian, pushing him away from the tree.

"Haha, I thought so!" Ling Tian laughed bitterly as he steadied himself.

"What's going on?"

"Why did it expel you again?"

The others approached Ling Tian and asked him, while the women worriedly checked to make sure he didn't have any injuries.

Ling Tian sighed and said, "This world has developed consciousness, but unfortunately, the spirit could hardly have finished developing, so it must have the mind of a small child. Now that it feels it is hurt and that we can see it, it must feel threatened that we might hurt it more."

"Spirit?" Mu Shuiruo asked.

"He developed consciousness?" Long Yuyin looked dumbfoundedly at the tree in the middle.

"Then there's no way to approach?" Mu Shen asked as he slowly approached towards the tree.

* Boom! *

The same situation happened again, causing Mu Shen to be thrown out.

"Qingwu, try to get closer, it might not do anything to you." Ling Tian told her.

Shan Qingwu nodded and slowly moved closer towards the tree.

* Boom... *

In the same way, Shan Qingwu was driven out of the place, but this time, the energy blast wasn't as strong, as if it was only a mild warning, very different from Ling Tian and Mu Shen.

"It must be really scared..." Mu Shuiruo said, seeming to sense what the world spirit might be feeling.

"If we fail to place the formation, we won't be able to prevent this world from being destroyed someday..." Ling Tian stared at the tree, somehow thinking of succeeding.

He had encountered a similar situation in a world, encountering a spirit with the mentality of a child. Although that world was not dying, it was somewhat weak, so in time Ling Tian was able to place a powerful array and feed it with world energy.

But now that this spirit seemed fearful before them, it would be almost impossible to approach and even more so, that it feels weak and threatened by anything.

* Purr *

The little white fox that had stood to the side of them, purred as it approached the area near the tree.

* Whoosh! *

A spiritual energy came out of the small white creature's body and headed towards the tree, while trying to transmit some small purrs, as if she was trying to communicate with someone.

The place shook, as if something woke up from its lethargy and opened a new scenario to everyone.

The tree trembled slightly, as if it was going through something.

The small white fox calmly approached towards the tree, as the power coming out of its small body combined with the aura in its surroundings, wanting to reach towards the tree itself.

A moment later, a subtle glow covered the tree; the plants around it grew a little more, trying to become small vines.

"This is..."

"What's going on...?"

"This little friend did this?"

? Everyone stared dumbfounded at what was happening.

Ling Tian slowly approached again, taking several steps towards the tree.

This time, he met no resistance, but Ling Tian could still find a trace of fear and nervousness from the spirit through the aura.

Once he reached the spot, Ling Tian petted the little white fox gratefully, to which, he received a purr in response.

He knew that this little white fox should have communicated with the world spirit, so she conveyed to it not to be frightened.

He did not yet know the little white fox's abilities and powers, so he would still have a lot to learn.

Ling Tian then moved his hand slowly towards the tree, touching the bark of the tree gently.

"Don't be afraid, I want to help you recover, so I'll do a formation for you to become stronger, okay?" Ling Tian tried to infuse his will and desire towards the tree through his spirit sense, wanting to reassure and comfort the tree as he infused some of his power and let it absorb it.

The tree seemed to understand Ling Tian's intent and after a small moment began to absorb the power coming from his hand.

Ling Tian finally smiled and poured in a little more of his own power slowly, allowing the tree to regain some energy.

The tree grew, its leaves glowed, its roots slowly spread while the flowers and vines in the surroundings continued to grow as well.

Ling Tian placed a piece of refined jade in a hole in the tree's bark, and then placed other refined jades around the tree, making a strange formation.

"Place yourselves in the jades around the whole wasteland. Once I tell you, you must expel your energies slowly towards the center of the tree so that we can activate the formation and it will follow on its own afterwards..."

Ling Tian spoke, causing everyone to nod and stand around the tree, placing themselves on each of the jades that were scattered around.

A total of 11 people surrounded the small wasteland, preparing to pour their power upon hearing Ling Tian's indication.

The little white fox jumped onto Ling Tian's shoulder as the latter finished placing all the refined jades.

"This formation is similar to a spiritual energy gathering formation to increase cultivation, however, this one will only gather the purest and unique essence coming from us, so it is only suitable for powering the core of a world or something similar in one place..."

Ling Tian had learned this formation a long time ago and experienced it once in a place that was outside the great Immortal World.

Although this formation had long since been lost as well, so no one but him knew about it. Now it would help him a lot again.

"The Core World is the foundation of this entire planet, if it ever collapses, the world will be completely destroyed, being engulfed by the forces of the void..." Ling Tian corroborated that all the jades were in position.

Ling Tian's spirit sense expanded, covering every place in the wasteland, as well as every refined jade and the people around him.

"Once I tell you, direct your power this way." Ling Tian looked at each of them, waiting for them to be ready.

They all nodded, waiting for the signal.

Ling Tian quietly concentrated and formed a conduction with his own power towards the tree, and immediately gave the signal, causing everyone to pour their energies.

The place rumbled again, with the atmosphere filling with strength and power as it continued to be constantly flooded with pure energies.

* Whoosh!!! *

The tree began to receive a powerful amount of energy, gradually absorbing it while Ling Tian acted as a receiver.

The valley they were in slowly began to bloom, with grasses and flowers slowly growing as the trees in the surrounding area swayed their branches and the foliage continued to grow.

After several hours, the development of nature had stopped.

It had only grown a little. Everyone there had already poured out more than half of their energies, starting to get tired.

"This is not enough, it's as if we only produced a few drops from a whole sea..."

Ling Tian felt that this would not be enough with just the power of everyone present, plus that foreboding in his being was getting stronger and stronger, expressing to him that he had to prepare now!

Therefore, if they did not fix the Space Laws, this world would be torn apart in a single fight between great experts.

Their power would be enough to strengthen the Laws and Principles of the World and prevent it from collapsing and destroying while it would gradually heal over time, but Ling Tian felt that he had to make this world a place that could withstand large amounts of energy blasts quickly....

"I know another technique, but it will most likely attract all the demonic creatures near this world..." Ling Tian muttered, deciding whether to use that technique now.

But if he did that, he might attract some Void Beast....
