The Way of The Dao

Chapter 697 She Is The Pride Of This Family~

?"How is this possible?"

Xuanyuan Haoyun's terrified voice was heard, his tone trembling as he stared at Xuanyuan Ling in shock.

His elder sister exuded such a powerful and terrifying aura, completely suppressing him without being able to move a single muscle!

What kind of force did she have that she had overpowered him?

Did she really become an expert of the Great Ascension?

This aura far and away surpassed his cultivation base, making him realize that Xuanyuan Ling had a higher and more powerful cultivation than him!

Shan Qingwu and Nalan Ziqing looked at Xuanyuan Ling in a daze, especially the latter. The energy coming from Xuanyuan Ling that they both clearly felt was completely suppressing them, making them realize that this young woman like them had a higher power than them.

Nalan Ziqing now understood that at that moment Xuanyuan Ling really could have easily killed her if she wasn't exhausted after fighting other enemies!

The power of a Great Ascension stage expert was terrifying! Even more so that she was only a cultivator at the Body Condensation stage! Two Great Realms of difference!

Nalan Ziqing clenched her fists silently as she watched Xuanyuan Ling; a woman of the same generation and seemingly the same age as her was also already much more powerful than her, having a superior cultivation base. While Shan Qingwu was similarly surprised and thought many things quickly. If she wanted to be powerful and useful to others, as well as not being a burden either, Shan Qingwu had to become stronger as well.

"How did you become so strong, sister? Weren't you really a Nascent Soul stage cultivator just barely?" Xuanyuan Haoyun asked in a daze.

"It was Grandmaster who helped me become stronger."

Withdrawing her aura on her younger brother, Xuanyuan Ling replied with a sweet and beautiful smile at the mention of Ling Tian. A touch of pride and happiness could also be noticed in her, though barely perceptible.

"G-Grandmaster?" Xuanyuan Haoyun stammered in shock even more before shifting his gaze to Ling Tian and saying, "Aside from having such powerful rejuvenation heavenly techniques, he can also make others increase their cultivation in a short time?"

"Haoyun!"

Xuanyuan Ling's furious voice shook Xuanyuan Haoyun's consciousness and sent chills down his spine as he noticed her terrifying gaze. At this very moment he remembered that this elder sister of his unexpectedly became furiously angry when he said something related to their Grandmaster apparently.

The vein above Ling Tian's temple threatened to bulge out again upon hearing Xuanyuan Haoyun's words as he forced a smile. Although he was not bothered by his words, it was still somewhat awkward and annoying to be talked about in front of him.

Xuanyuan Haoyun shrugged his neck, showing a fearful expression as Xuanyuan Ling approached and reached out her small hand, wanting to pull his ear once again.

But still, Xuanyuan Haoyun turned to look at Ling Tian once more, wanting to know how this amazing, mysterious and well rejuvenated Grandmaster could make his elder sister raise her cultivation to such heights.

Xuanyuan Haoyun was not the only one, Nalan Ziqing likewise watched Ling Tian discreetly wanting to know how was it that a woman of her same generation and age could be so strong; she even had the great help and endless resources provided by her two female Masters who always gave her the best, but she could not really understand how was it that Xuanyuan Ling cultivated to such heights without damaging her cultivation base. Yes, Xuanyuan Ling's demonstrated power indicated that she had no problems with her strength or any signs of weakness, so the matter of cultivating quickly without taking into account the instability of the cultivation base could not be taken into account on her.

The only reason was that Xuanyuan Ling had cultivated with powerful objects or places filled with abundant Chi, enough to make her reach the Great Ascension state in a short time. It wouldn't be strange for her to cultivate by using high-level immortal natural items that contained infinite powerful energy.

Xue Ning looked with awe and pride towards Ling Tian, knowing that her big brother is still so amazing and cool!

"Ling'er has already shown me her outstanding talent and hardworking spirit, which is why she has become so strong. She is the pride of this family~"

Ling Tian's serious and slightly playful voice was heard as he headed towards Lu Wuhu's flying ship while leading Mu Shuiruo and Long Yuyin holding their hands before adding another words.

"I hope her younger brother is at least a little talented like her~"

Ling Tian, Long Yuyin and Mu Shuiruo climbed towards the ship, followed by Xue Ning with a smile as she seemed to catch up with the two women before her.

"What?"

Xuanyuan Haoyun was stunned as he heard Ling Tian's words. Meanwhile, a faint blush appeared on Xuanyuan Ling's tender cheeks with her heart beating happily before shooting a glance at her younger brother and boarding the ship as well, following Ling Tian and the others.

Nalan Ziqing and Shan Qingwu watched the development take place and silently followed the others onto the ship.

"Actually it's so big..." Shan Qingwu muttered full of surprise, her gaze dazed as she looked at the interior of the supposedly small ship.

The interior was so large and spacious, with several doors, furniture and a living room like a giant, spacious house!

How could this kind of magic exist?

Was it really still the small ship they had entered a few seconds ago? Weren't they teleported to another place?

Their spirit senses completely scanned the place and were even more surprised when they realized that behind each of the doors were spacious rooms, with large beds and furniture inside!

Not only Shan Qingwu was amazed, Mu Shuiruo and Long Yuyin also marveled at this flying artifact! It was the first time they also observed such an amazing flying craft!

Nalan Ziqing was a little calmer, but still in some awe. Her two Masters had some flying ships, but their interior was not as large and spacious as this one, as those ships were small and spacious enough for the three of them.

Only Ling Tian and Xue Ning were at ease. They looked at each other's expressions with smiles.

"I see you've grown up a lot, Ning'er." Affectionately patting Xue Ning's head, Ling Tian added softly with a smile as he noticed this woman's calm expression, unable to help but recall the childish and charming expressions of surprise when Xue Ning was a little girl.

As if somehow Ling Tian's thoughts were transmitted to her mind, Xue Ning's cheeks flushed as she also thought back to her childhood when she was a little girl and was surprised by everything she saw.

"Big brother, I've grown up! I'm already an adult woman!"

Xue Ning's complexion turned red with enchantment slightly as a small pout formed on her beautiful face, but she still did not turn away from Ling Tian and allowed him to continue stroking her head. Her heart was pounding with happiness and joy at this moment, with her gaze almost never leaving Ling Tian's since they met.

"I know, I know~"

But Ling Tian smiled and shook his head. Even if time passes, he would never forget the memories when this beautiful woman was barely a little girl and she clung to him all the time when they were together, feeling for the first time back then as if he had a little sister to take care of and love very much, spoiling her and playing with her as much as he could.

Ling Tian looked at Long Yuyin and Mu Shuiruo before taking their hands gently, receiving loving expressions as their hearts connected much more with the contact between them, getting a unique and indescribable feeling, completely wonderful and blissful.

"Haoyun..."

When everyone went upstairs, Lu Wuhu still stayed and smiled amusedly in silence, observing Xuanyuan Haoyun's shocked expression and understanding Ling Tian's hidden intentions towards him.

Undoubtedly the revelation of Xuanyuan Ling's amazing power was a blow to Xuanyuan Haoyun who had cultivated and trained hard all this time, while his elder sister had already left him far behind. But Ling Tian's words, although, were an insult and taunt to him, his intentions were for Xuanyuan Haoyun to try much harder and not give up despite the current situation, a hidden incentive.

"Who says I can't become as powerful as my sister?!"

As if expected, after a while Xuanyuan Haoyun's expression turned fierce and competitive as he exclaimed proudly, clenching his fists as Ling Tian's words continued to echo inside his head and he thought of the height his sister had reached. Although his cultivation base was just about to reach the peak of the state the Nascent Soul, there was still a huge difference in strength, but he was not going to give up easily. His elder sister might be stronger now and he was very proud and happy for her, but he was going to prove that he would also become much stronger and surpass his sister in the future.

Xuanyuan Haoyun was going to prove to his so-called Grandmaster that he was also very talented like his big sister!

Xuanyuan Haoyun quickly boarded the flying ship, followed by Lu Wuhu. The flying ship quickly soared into the sky and disappeared into the clouds in less than a few seconds as it flew in a certain direction.
