The Way of The Dao

Chapter 479 A Big & Large Family!

?Fire Dragon?

"Right, wouldn't it have to be a Golden Dragon?" Tang Wanying frowned at the sight of Ling Tian's dragon.

They had all seen that Ling Tian's dragon was a Golden Dragon before. Therefore, why was it a Fire Dragon?

Yun Mengxin had her sight on Ling Tian's Dragon which made her heart beat intensely, feeling some strange, mysterious and deep emotions the more she saw it. Her Soul stirred and something inside her also wanted to come out.

* Cry! *

Before they could think any further about Ling Tian's dragon changing, a piercing cry, yet carrying a tone of majesty and elegance, spread throughout the place. A figure emerged from Yun Mengxin's body and grew to the same size as the Fire Dragon.

The legendary Phoenix!

The Phoenix cried out in joy and approached the Dragon, flapping its beautiful wings with joy and happiness.

* Roar! *

The Dragon's indifference and lack of interest in its gaze disappeared and just like the Phoenix, it too roared with joy and excitement, quickly joining the Phoenix and finally with both of them dancing and flying beautifully in the air, as if trying to show their love as a couple.

Anyone who was witnessing this would marvel at the sight of these two legendary figures from stories and tales, witnessing that they were a Fire Dragon and an Ice Phoenix!

Fire and Ice, supposedly two energies that should be separate and could not be together at any time. But here it could be seen that the two energies harmonized in perfect balance, with fire following ice and ice following fire.

Ling Tian's head which was tilted to one side and looking at both figures in the sky, soon shifted his gaze and connected with Yun Mengxin's eyes; they both smiled at the same time, perfectly sensing each other's thought and heart. These figures came from themselves and could exactly feel it also through both figures after all.

The figures of the Fire Dragon and the Ice Phoenix flew and danced beautifully for a while longer before returning to their owners. But before they both disappeared, the Fire Dragon's eyes fell on Tang Wanying, Mu Shuiruo, Zhang Xinya and Long Yuyin, as well as that of everyone else nearby.

Thereupon, unexpectedly, the Fire Dragon let out a final roar and circled around each of the four women several times, conveying a feeling of warmth to them, as if Ling Tian himself was embracing them, and then danced beautifully around Yun Mengxin as well and returned to Ling Tian's body. The Ice Phoenix also let out a joyful cry and elegantly flew over the four women, then landed on Ling Tian's free shoulder, caressed his head with its own as it always did and returned to Yun Mengxin's body.

"That was great..." Zhang Xinya murmured pleasantly after opening her eyes and observing Ling Tian, remembering the feeling that the Fire Dragon conveyed to her. The other women also felt this.

Shan Qingwu looked curiously at these sisters of hers and when she noticed Tang Wanying's playful and impish gaze, she blushed when a thought came to her.

"I gifted you a part of my energy..." Ling Tian smiled lovingly and added, "I don't know why the color changed and more of the Dragon, but I feel it might be related to my current state... or maybe because I haven't developed it yet and my cultivation is weak." He sighed and shrugged his shoulders.

Tang Wanying, Zhang Xinya, Mu Shuiruo and Long Yuyin nodded what he told them. Ling Tian and Yun Mengxin had told them absolutely everything about the inheritance or legacy of the Holy Shrine that Ling Tian found and so on. They knew about Yun Mengxin's Ice Phoenix, therefore, there was a great possibility that Ling Tian would awaken a Phoenix, presumably a fire Phoenix. Although later they thought better of it and felt that it might be a more powerful creature. That was why they were not too surprised to see Ling Tian's Golden Dragon earlier, feeling that it was to be expected.

"Master, Yinyin also wants to be marked by your Dragon!" Lan Yin, who was still in one of his arms, exclaimed and hugged Ling Tian.

"Me too, Shasha wants to have a Phoenix too and fly with your Dragon, Master!" Qing Sha also said in a loud voice and hugged Ling Tian on the other side.

The women let out a few small laughs, covering their mouths as they looked at the pair of girls in Ling Tian's arms.

Ling Tian blinked in mild stupefaction before laughing helplessly and saying, "Okay, but it'll be when you're both grown up and big like your big sisters." Ling Tian kissed the soft foreheads of both girls and promised, knowing that they both might forget in time and might come to understand what it really meant that the Dragon marked his wives.

In the past, when he took care of and trained his disciples, Ling Tian had promised many promises asked by his female disciples, since he did not want to see them sad. Besides the fact that they were very little girls and would eventually forget those promises as they grew up and matured, Ling Tian thought that there would be no problem in accepting those promises.

The little white fox gently wagged its tail, as if it was just observing. But Ling Tian felt strange feelings with a sense of annoyance and anger come to him from this little creature, as if it was really angry. Ling Tian wondered if it was his imagination.

"Are you ready?" Ling Tian asked as he cast a glance at everyone in the place.

"We're ready, little Tian." Zhang Ruoyan nodded and the people near her and Tang Zhi nodded likewise, showing nervousness.

Ling Tian scanned everyone in the place and counted the people, an average of nearly 50 people had decided to come.

Ling Tian nodded and when he was about to tell them to gather, he looked in the direction of the city and said, "Looks like we scared them off..."

They all turned to look and noticed several people heading towards them. Some were holding swords while looking nervous. But what was surprising, was that there were many citizens.

Long Cheng stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

"We saw the figure of the legendary dragon and thought something might have happened..." A tall man spoke up and at once added, "But it's a relief that it was you." His gaze shifted to Ling Tian, sighing in relief.

The other citizens also sighed at the sight of Ling Tian; all of them had associated the huge Dragon that covered the world with Ling Tian!

"Yes. An apology if we scared you." Long Cheng smiled helplessly and apologized. The City Lord's post had been handed over to man who spoke. He had already left everything arranged to leave.

"Oh, don't worry, you don't have to apologize." The new City Lord smiled and asked, "Are you leaving at this time?"

"Yes." Long Cheng nodded and looked at all the people in the city who were present, mostly acquaintances, "We will leave now. We don't know if we can return, but you can rest assured that this world will be quiet and you won't have to face any more demonic beasts." The others nodded as well, waving goodbye to the people with whom they had fought the demonic hordes in the past.

"On the contrary, we also want to thank the young god for bringing us peace and tranquility. That's why we came here when we heard that you were already leaving early in the morning." The City Lord spoke and bowed, "Thank you very much for everything! We wish you good luck on your journey and in the new world!"

"Happy journey!"

"We wish you all the best!"

"We hope you arrive safely in the new world!"

"Thank you for everything!"

Cheers and blessings were heard at once, joyfully bidding them all farewell. Shan Qingwu's family bid her a final farewell, wishing her well and giving her their blessings.

Long Cheng and the others thanked and also bowed to them, finally bidding them all farewell.

"Very well, all of you gather around me and don't resist!" Ling Tian also smiled at these people who had come to cheerfully bid them farewell.

They all gathered around Ling Tian and relaxed their guards.

Mu Shuiruo looked at what had been her House for the last time, remembering her parents and family. Now she would leave this world, and that house was one of her most important memories, because there she also had her memories with her parents, her brother, her family...

Ling Tian noticed this and took her little hand affectionately, showing her a smile full of love and understanding, "As long as you don't forget them and you keep them in your heart, they will always be with you." He could understand Mu Shuiruo's sweet heart to see that they would really leave this place where he grew up.

"Mhn!" Mu Shuiruo nodded with a happy smile and said goodbye to her home. As long as she carried her parents in her heart, she wouldn't feel sad. Besides, she already had more family! A big and large family!

Everyone looked at Star City, having similar feelings to Mu Shuiruo. From this day on, they would leave this world, their home, their roots where they had grown and lived for a long time, and said goodbye in their hearts...

Mobilizing the energy of the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures to cover all these people with his aura, it only took Ling Tian a few seconds before he disappeared along with all of them.
