The Way of The Dao

Chapter 775 Interest & Curiosity

?"Big brother, what is this place? Why are there so many people here?" Lang Qingzu asked in confusion, she still didn't understand what was going on.

Ling Tian's hand rubbed over Lang Qingzu's small head before saying, "These seem to be the ruins of an ancient sect or clan, and in the center resides the legacy comparable to the powerhouse of the Body Condensation state, waiting for someone to take it and receive their inheritance."

"Inheritance of a powerhouse of the Body Condensation state?" Xuan Li gasped upon hearing this.

A powerhouse of the Body Condensation state is quite a high cultivation level! It can even consider a first-class powerhouse in many places in the world!

Lang Qingzu couldn't help but be surprised either. She also knew that the Body Condensation level is a very high level!

Ling Tian found a spacious place away from people, and surprisingly sat down on the grass and leaned on a huge rock, crossing his arms behind his head as he closed his eyes, as if he was taking a sunbath. Lang Qingzu and Xuan Li were dumbfounded before slowly sitting down on Ling Tian's sides, still confused by his current behavior.

"Both of you can quietly cultivate or do whatever you want. Don't worry no one will disturb you." Ling Tian spoke softly before adding, "It seems this place needs a considerable amount of people to be accessible, so we have to wait before we can enter."

There were several hidden and powerful formations. Ling Tian discovered each of them and soon discovered that the protective barrier in place that prevented cultivators from entering weakened the more people arrived, as if it needed a number of people for the barrier to disappear.historical

"Are we going in?" Lang Qingzu asked in surprise.

"Of course. If we are here then we might as well wait and take advantage. Perhaps, if either of you two pass the tests quickly, you can manage to inherit the legacy of this place." Ling Tian replied calmly with his eyes closed.

"Emn."

Xuan Li nodded dumbly while Lang Qingzu looked curiously around and finally confused at Ling Tian again. Both girls nodded at what Ling Tian said, but neither dared to cultivate as they saw that there were quite a few people in the place, with many of them watching them. Therefore, they stayed beside Ling Tian sitting on the ground as well while they raised their guards completely.

More and more cultivators kept arriving, either alone or in groups. Most of them had stopped watching Ling Tian's group, while a few continued to watch him, especially some young women. Those who were arriving and even those who were there from the beginning were surprised to see Ling Tian almost lying down as if he was sunbathing, wondering if he was right in the head to be relaxing in this place.

Many cultivators were trying to cross the barrier to the front, but no one could manage to break through it, much less destroy it. But they quickly began to see that the barrier was weakening the more time passed.

"Uhm?"

Suddenly, a while later, Ling Tian's eyelids lifted as he immediately turned his head slightly, looking in a specific direction.

Cultivators kept arriving alone, in pairs or in groups. All of different ages, whether they were men or women. But Ling Tian did not look at those people, but looked at a small figure alone.

This figure was a slim and humble boy, about 15 or 16 years old, but with simple and steady eyes, a calm expression but full of self-confidence but not arrogance, not letting his guard down and looking everywhere. His expression was young with slight childish traces, but he was handsome and attractive at first glance, with many girls and young women watching him with interest. Although his cultivation base was at the Chi Gathering Peak Stage, there was still a powerful and strong aura about him, no less weak than a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage. And although he seemed to want to be unnoticed and solitary, there was still a slight noble and grandiose bearing in his eyes and demeanor, like the bloodline of a majestic king.

This boy carried a somewhat rusty sword dangling in his hand, finding a secluded place to sit and wait as he realized the situation. Suddenly, he was stunned when he felt someone looking at him, blinked, looked up and quickly found the person watching him without discretion. He did not shy away and looked directly as well, although he was somewhat confused and stunned to see this guy lying down as if taking a sunbath.

Ling Tian smiled faintly and withdrew his gaze after observing him for quite a while.

'Interesting. He's the first one I've seen with quite spirituality after a long time...' Ling Tian thought to himself as he closed his eyes again. His expression didn't change much at all, remaining calm and collected despite having encountered one of these special individuals again.

The 16 year old frowned when he saw Ling Tian stop looking at him, then turned to look at the two girls beside him to finally retract his gaze and focus on his surroundings. He was still sneaking glances at Ling Tian though. After all, he had a feeling that this guy could see right through him, as if looking directly into his inner self and so on, knowing his most hidden secrets and identity.

"Who is he, I've never seen him before... could it be that he knows who I am?" The young man frowned deeply inside, as he had never seen this man who seemed to be in his mid-twenties.

But now, he needed to concentrate in order to gain the inheritance of this ancient sect to quickly increase his cultivation. There were many terrifying and powerful auras around him, even experts who seemed to have reached the Golden Core stage! Powers that at this moment he could not afford to offend!

The only way to achieve his goals and protect his father and younger sister is to become stronger quickly!

However, the small thorn of discomfort at the thought of this guy was still there, as if his confidence was hindered and now the difficulty of obtaining the inheritance of this place had increased in difficulty, being almost impossible.

* Rumble~ *

After a certain amount of time, when there were more than 100 cultivators of all ages and strengths, the place shook as the barrier protecting the center finally disappeared before everyone's eyes.

lights??vel Many cultivators gathered in front of the entrance. Most of them had cultivation bases between the Chi Gathering Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage. Few of them had powerful Golden Core state bases.

"Let's go! We have to be the first to go to the center building! That must be where the treasures are!"

"Guys, hurry up! We can't let the others take away our treasures! We have to fight!"

"You bastard! Get out of my way! You haven't even reached the Foundation Establishment Stage! Leave and get out of this place if you don't want to die!"

"Hey you, old man! Do you want to die by my hand? If not, then leave and don't appear in my sight! Go home to die of old age!"

* Boom! *

* Boom! *

Explosions spread out at once. The ripples and energies of the cultivation essences scattered around as many began to fight.

Various groups began to fight each other. Many of them strong and powerful cultivators who had great high cultivations at the Foundation Establishment stage. A few Golden Core stage cultivators also moved over and fought against their peers.

"Shit! I can't move forward! What's going on!"

"Hey! What's wrong? Why can't I move but that guy younger than me is moving with ease?"

"I can't breathe properly? What's the meaning of this? Why can't I go more than five steps?"

"Hey, kid! Where are you going? Come back here with this senior and hand over your belongings! You must have a powerful treasure to help you in this place! If you don't want to die you'd better come!"

"Shit! He's a Golden Core stage cultivator!"

"Hahaha! We too have the senior martial brother who is a cultivator at the Golden Core stage!"

"Kill!"

"Martial brothers! Hurry forward while everyone is stuck! We have to advance as much as we can!"

A startling scene replayed on the scene, leaving everyone stunned and shocked.

Once the barrier had disappeared, everyone rushed into the ruins of this place, only to be caught a few meters away when a terrifying force completely suppressed them, preventing them from advancing a few more steps. Even those Golden Core state powerhouses that made themselves known when they let out their powerful auras were the first to be easily suppressed, remaining almost at the very beginning unable to approach the center.

But what surprised everyone the most, however, was that the cultivators at the Foundation Establishment and Chi Gathering stage did not feel so much of an obstacle, especially the latter, managing to advance several meters further and approaching the center's ancient building.

The 16-year-old observed what was happening and finally stood up. A confidence and assurance emanated from him as a confident smile came across his face.

But when he looked in a certain direction again, the latter was taken aback to see Ling Tian looking at him with a slight smile that showed interest and curiosity.

Calming down and not letting this guy notice his expressions, the 16-year-old took a deep breath before averting his gaze and walking towards the center, trespassing the starting place and surprising everyone when he managed to get farther than anyone else, advancing several dozen meters and being the first to get very close to the old main building of the place.
