The Way of The Dao

"The Heavenly Constellation Supreme?"

The Heavenly Constellations Great Supreme, Fang Hongjian, was an old man with an appearance of over 80 years old. Ling Tian more or less knew that this man had lived dozens and hundreds of thousands of years. Fang Hongjian has a unique and special ability which is 'Heavenly Vision' in which he could peep into the mysteries of heaven, as well as someone's past, present and future, along with alternate or probable futures to happen according to some special course.

Ling Tian even asked him if he knew anything about his family due to his long age and knowledge of the Immortal realm, to the point of asking him as a favor if he could see through his existence to know something of his origins through heavenly secrets.

Fang Hongjian was the only one of all the Supremes that he liked very much, coming to regard him as a friend. Ling Tian even went sometimes with Fang Hongjian and talked with him about the speculations and theories of the mystery of the universe, the vastness of the heavens and the possibility of the territory of the gods on the higher plane.

Although Fang Hongjian was not really a fighter, Ling Tian had great respect for this wise man.

"Hongjian helped you to search for my whereabouts?" Ling Tian at once frowned and added, "I remember when I asked him to search for my origins at that time he told me that there was a barrier that prevented him from seeing my origins, as well as seeing some of my probable fates. He couldn't even really feel my existence in the heavenly dimension."

Fang Hongjian had searched through the heavenly secrets about Ling Tian's existence but could not!

pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ There was a kind of barrier that prevented him from seeing further about any information of Ling Tian and there was even a mysterious force that rejected his Heavenly Vision almost at once. Fang Hongjian said that it was the first time it happened to him, so he was in shock with Ling Tian as he felt that the heavens completely rejected his Heavenly Vision for the first time.

Gu Yan and Zhao Yu were briefly surprised to confirm the change in Ling Tian's voice and treatment. Although they could find Ling Tian's respect for Fang Hongjian in his tone of voice, the familiarity of referring to the Heavenly Constellation Supreme had changed and seemed more... direct and friendly?

"Yes! Senior Fang Hongjian tried to look into his origins again, Master. Shortly after it was rumored throughout the Immortal realm that Master had fallen, senior Fang Hongjian had obtained a universal decree and with that he felt that the power in his Heavenly Vision had evolved." Gu Yan nodded and explained in a few words what had happened lately. Then, she added, "Some time later when he helped us from a siege of Immortal Monarchs and Emperors, senior Fang used his Heavenly Vision to try to look for some clue about you, Master."

"Although again senior said that barrier was still there even though his ability had evolved, in this last instance it was enough to get clues to his whereabouts and know that you were still alive." Zhao Yu added at once, complementing what her junior martial sister had said.

But what had surprised Zhao Yu and Gu Yan at that moment was that Fang Hongjian had suffered an adverse reaction when he tried to look beyond Ling Tian's origin, as if he sensed a much greater power looking at him and rejected him at once, feeling powerless in the face of this. There was even a heavenly tribulation directed at him!

Of course, Zhao Yu and Gu Yan explained all this to Ling Tian.

Ling Tian frowned, still couldn't help but be a little surprised to hear all this. He had always been intrigued that he was the only being apparently in which Fang Hongjian could not see through his existence through his Heavenly Vision. There was even record that a Great Supreme in the past had also asked Fang Hongjian for a favor and the latter accepted, which led to an amazing revelation of the heavens and everything unfolded as expected.

But when it came to his turn, Ling Tian could even feel at that moment that a mysterious force that even he could not resist repulsed Fang Hongjian without a chance to be able to defend himself. Fang Hongjian was not injured, but both of them agreed that such energy coming from the heavens was unparalleled; not even all the Supremes of the Immortal realm could create such energy even if they worked together.

Ling Tian could only attribute all this to the fact that he was the bearer of the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures, something that is from the heavens and not even Fang Hongjian with his unique power and ability could see through.

"When senior Fang Hongjian heard about what happened to you, he said that he would have loved to continue chatting with Master about the speculations and mysteries of the heavens."ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

"But when he performed his ability again and realized that you were apparently still alive or perhaps have reincarnated, senior Fang said he hoped that Master would ascend and were able to continue to inquire about the mysteries of life and more. He even generously passed on to us the secret technique of spiritual soul-searching and locating..."

Zhao Yu and Gu Yan relayed everything that Fang Hongjian had mentioned, but the latter was said in a low voice more and more as they lowered their heads as they remembered certain things.

"Spiritual soul-searching and locating? It was you who several months ago performed this secret soul technique on me? Do you know that you could have killed me if I had really died and reincarnated?" Ling Tian raised his eyebrow and looked at both women who seemed to be trembling with nerves again and tensed up as they avoided his gaze.

Ling Tian also knew something about this soul secret technique. But almost no one would use it due to the fact that it was very violent and almost murderous. This spiritual soul searching and locating technique would search with precision and timing for the target's soul, but its requirements were very strict and almost impossible; the beings to be searched would have to have an extremely strong Consciousness Sea that could withstand the impact and power of searching for their soul through space and time, so it would only be used in the worst case scenario when no one could find any clues. Let alone using this technique on someone who had not even opened their Consciousness Sea, let alone entered the path of cultivation, it would only cause inevitable death.

Now Ling Tian knew that those shakings in his Consciousness Sea in the past was because of these children. The first time was when he was on the lower plane and was proposing to everyone else to leave that world and ascend. The second time was a few moments ago when they opened the space crack and descended to this plane; thanks to Yun Mengxin's spiritual energy he was able to quickly calm the chaos in his Consciousness Sea.

This time, both Gu Yan and Zhao Yu did not respond and kept their heads down. They did not dare to look at Ling Tian. Each of them had been so desperate to meet their Master that they overlooked many things, as in not thinking about whether their Master had really reincarnated or perhaps lost their cultivation, which would result in his imminent death if they performed the soul-searching technique. Even Fang Hongjian had reminded them of what would happen if they used this technique on Ling Tian and he was a mere mortal.

But they only wanted to find Ling Tian and nothing else. Therefore, they all concentrated their spiritual energies to perform this secret technique.

"All right, I'll let it pass. Just tell me how you were able to perform the space-time technique and make it down to this plane."

Ling Tian sighed and smiled bitterly as he understood a little of the desperation of these kids as he began to think like them. Fortunately his spirit and soul had always been strong to be able to withstand this technique, otherwise, how else could he have survived the fight against the heavenly force of the Great Dao in the void?

"Big brother Wenqian together with big brother Lin managed to adapt this technique through teleportation training, so that it would accumulate enough energy and activate when it is finally safe. Eldest big brother Kai gathered and refined all the immortal crystals along with the spirit crystals we found so that their energy would be absorbed with ease. Big brother Yuzem also helped eldest big brother Kai refine as much as he could while the two of us took care of getting all the necessary resources while fighting Feng Heng and the others several times." Gu Yan added the latter with a trace of killing intent.

Zhao Yu also nodded with solemn trace to what Gu Yan said.

"Brother Kang and Sister Yingshi helped you?" Ling Tian asked.

"Yes, Master." This time it was Zhao Yu's turn and she replied, "Although they were both very happy and ecstatic to know that you might be alive, at first Big Sister Yingshi was somewhat hesitant to use the soul tracking technique, but in the end she agreed. But Senior Brother Kang and Big Sister Yingshi helped us escape when we were besieged by a group of cultivators last time, so we had to act without them."

Senior brother? Big sister?

Ling Tian raised his eyebrow in surprise at these female disciples' change of direction towards his sworn brother and sister, but decided to leave it for later.

"Now that I remember, you said that you guys were besieged by Immortal Monarchs and Emperors in the past?" Ling Tian's expression turned solemn as he suddenly remembered what both female disciples had said a few moments ago when they talked about Fang Hongjian having once helped them. His gaze seemed indifferent and calm, but no one could see the storm behind them.
