Chapter 957: He Is A Magnet For Many Women!
"Honey!"
Tang Wanying arrived almost at once, heading towards Ling Tian and she looked at him for a few seconds, being stunned at his appearance. Tang Wanying also quickly sensed the aura of death coming from Ling Tian.
"Are you alright?" Tang Wanying approached and she couldn't help but ask with much concern. Her sly and grinning expression was replaced by seriousness and concern as she saw her husband's condition.
Despite remembering Ling Tian's words, as well as everything he told them, Tang Wanying couldn't help but worry about him. After all, Ling Tian is her beloved husband!
"Uhm, I succeeded in the first half, only the remaining half is left." Ling Tian nodded gently, smiling at Tang Wanying.
Once they made sure Ling Tian had fully recovered and then he returned after staying for a while with Zhao Yu and Gu Yan, his female disciples from the Immortal World, Yun Mengxin, Tang Wanying, Mu Shuiruo and Xi Fei focused on various matters as well as everyone else.
Yun Mengxin, along with Xi Fei, Gao Xue and Gao Yue, had gone to the Ice Heart Essence Sect, while Mu Shuiruo had returned with Daihang Guan and Yi Jingwen to the Alchemy Association to continue making pills and finish the batches Ling Tian had requested. Tang Wanying was with Lu Wuhu and Xuanyuan Ling doing the formations that Ling Tian also requested, at the same time they were upgrading the defenses and formations throughout the sect as they parted ways. That's why Tang Wanying barely returned with Ling Tian as she was on the other side at the sect's boundaries, taking some time to fly, while Lu Wuhu had stayed behind to protect Ling Tian and Xuanyuan Ling was repairing some formations on one of the nearest mountain peaks.
"That's good!" Tang Wanying let out a sigh of relief as she listened to Ling Tian. Although she sensed that breath of death, Tang Wanying had absolute confidence in Ling Tian.
"How are you going with the formations I asked for?" Ling Tian asked.
"We've finished several arrays and disc formations, but we're still a little short..." Tang Wanying replied with a smile, reducing her worries and said, "I think in less than 3 months it should all be done!"Ling Tian smiled cheerfully. Once he has all the preparations, his body should have already entered the Temporal Death Stage and Nirvana State, then he will try to break through. Afterwards, he will cultivate the taboo technique while repairing his meridians at the same time, and then practice the other divine technique to further strengthen his body.
The stellar stone hadn't been forgotten, and with the last memories he obtained, if there was a high chance of luck, Ling Tian could make his body stronger than a mere True Immortal Body!
Tang Wanying confirmed several times that Ling Tian didn't seem to be in serious danger before she withdrew and continued to do the formations and arrays. Shin Wei, and his martial brothers, telling Ling Tian that anything he needed he could call them and they would be right over.
Ling Tian looked at his hands, feeling that the physical strength in himself had diminished drastically. His skin was a little paler and somewhat dry, losing that elasticity and softness. If he wanted to do all this faster, Ling Tian needs to be in seclusion for a long time, but even if he has the support of The Sacred Heavenly Scriptures, it would still take a considerable amount of time, and if he tried to force and shorten the time, it would be very harmful to the body as it would damage its foundation even with the help of The Sacred Heavenly Scriptures.
"Looks like I have to move up the plans and go find Di Ji and Fengyuan..." Worries about Di Ji and her family, as well as Li Fengyuan, are in his thoughts constantly.
"I think I'll need that girl's help after all..." Ling Tian sighed and shook his head.
After experiencing a day with Ning Xiaoyi, as well as Xi Fei, Gao Xue and Gao Yue before they left, the realization and comprehension of Yin-Yang made great strides, but it still wasn't enough. Feng Zhiyun is the only one who could probably help him complete the tangible realization of Yin-Yang Force due to her special Yin-Yang Physique.
"Hee~ it looks like we will finally meet your dear mysterious silver-haired woman..." Zhang Xinya commented with a slight resentful pout as she listened to Ling Tian and understood his thoughts. Her tone of voice turned somewhat jealous and cold, finally gritting her teeth and glaring at Ling Tian once more.
Although Ling Tian's hair turned white now, and his body seemed to be starting to die, Ling Tian's attraction and handsomeness still could not be eliminated. Undoubtedly, that silver-haired woman will cling more to Ling Tian seeing that both of them have almost the same hair colour!
"We will meet the personal maid and the sword maid as well!" Long Yuyin added at once, staring at Ling Tian. A feeling of anticipation arose in her at the thought of the sword maid, wanting to see if she is worthy and strong to be her husband's protector!
"Ling Tian, these women... are they also your women?"
Ning Xiaoyi approached and she asked Ling Tian with some seriousness. Ning Xiaoyi knew that Ling Tian had met three women in the other cultivation world where she, Xi Fei and Nalan Ziqing had come from. Ling Tian really seemed to be a magnet for many women, just as Ning Xiaoyi remembered how was in the past, attracting a lot of trouble when some women with higher cultivations wanted to capture Ling Tian and make him their plaything... even their slave!
Xue Ning, Shan Qingwu, Xuanyuan Ling, Zhen Bingluo and even Nalan Ziqing approached as well, sharpening their ears to listen to Ling Tian's every word.
"One is my personal maidservant, whom I promised to care for and protect as well as her entire family, while the other is my sword maid whom I am teaching the whole mystery of the way of the sword... and she will be free until she is strong enough to change her destiny and destroy the shackles that restrict her!" Ling Tian replied, slightly surprised to see Ning Xiaoyi's curious and somewhat direct gaze, stunning Ling Tian as he sensed a hint of jealousy in Ning Xiaoyi as well.
"I'm also waiting to see if they have news of the latest spiritual herb in that world to make the Heavenly Pill." Ling Tian wanted to try his luck in finding the last flower needed.
The women nodded earnestly, remembering that only one spiritual herb was lacking to make the pill of rebuilding meridians and dantian.
Xuebai leapt onto Ling Tian's shoulder, her pure snow-white fur contrasting slightly with Ling Tian's somewhat pale skin. Qing Sha and Lan Yin held Ling Tian's hands, and this time they seemed to show serious expressions, as if they were caring for and protecting their Master as they understood that he was in a somewhat delicate state.
"Is there a problem with the sect that you need help with?" Ling Tian looked at Zhen Bingluo.
"Not for now, Master." Zhen Bingluo shook her head and explained, "All the disciples who were outside the sect, either because they left or were expelled, have returned... however, we have confirmed that a little over 100 disciples from the past have died or disappeared due to the abuses of the previous bastards."
A somewhat depressing atmosphere was felt, but Zhen Bingluo's voice turned cold as she mentioned the previous guys who tried to take over the entire sect when they went after Ling Tian, the guys who were led by Man Chong, one of the Heavenly Great Power Sect's immortal cultivators and who was killed by Ling Tian.
Even Xuanyuan Ling felt frustrated and angry knowing that many fellow female disciples had been killed by the previous enemies, or even faced fatal situations outside as they did not have the support of the sect.
Ling Tian listened quietly and closed his eyes for several seconds, before opening them and saying: "Life and death go hand in hand, so unfortunately, their fates might have been decided since they were born... but if we want to avoid further deaths and tragedies, strength is the only factor that can change and decide one's fate! That way, if we become strong, the disciples and heirs we have will be safe and thus we will avoid losing them!"
The death of disciples of sects is very normal, even in big sects. However, being a small sect, it is normal for its disciples to know all the members and feel angry and powerless in the face of this. Only by becoming strong oneself can one begin to change one's own destiny.
"It's just that the morale of many is low, as they were influenced by the previous bastards and their very peers who betrayed the sect's loyalty, and their spirits to cultivate have dwindled..." Zhen Bingluo let out a helpless sigh.
"I know." Ling Tian nodded and then he added with a smile, "But I know of a way that I will be able to encourage them and change their minds... they will even surpass their mental limits and their motivation to cultivate will be much higher than before!"
"Do you have a way to encourage them, Master?" Zhen Bingluo blinked and she asked somewhat curiously. After trying several times to encourage her female disciples, there were still many who were struggling.
If Ling Tian has a way to boost the morale of all the disciples in the sect, then that will improve the current situation!
They might even be able to participate in the World Tournament of Heavenly Talents!
"Nothing difficult... it's just giving them a little talk!" Ling Tian winked, smiling full of confidence.
If he, who is in a dangerous situation, and with a body lacking talents and abilities, could reach an unimaginable height, why couldn't the others do so as well?
Especially if they are his grand disciples, the student disciples of his own disciples!
"I see..."
Zhen Bingluo seemed to quickly grasp something and Xuanyuan Ling's expression beside her brightened. If Ling Tian, finally presented himself as the legendary supreme ancestor, and proved that even he with destroyed meridians can once again cultivate, then there should be no excuses to give up!
"But first I will build a teleportation platform!"
Ling Tian suddenly said out of nowhere and concentrated on his connection, asking Tang Wanying to return again. Even if Tang Wanying had no idea how to do a teleportation formation, just watching him do it would be of great help to her.
The women were surprised to hear Ling Tian, with the exception of Long Yuyin and Zhang Xinya. Making a teleportation platform was far from easy, and it required at least a dozen formation grandmasters and hundreds of formation masters.
"Will you build the teleportation platform, Master?"
Vaguely bending space, Lu Wuhu appeared with an expression full of anticipation and excitement.
"Uhm!" Ling Tian nodded, smiling as he felt Tang Wanying's aura approaching as well.
"Will it take you long, big brother?" Xue Ning asked curiously, not doubting Ling Tian's ability. If her big brother said he could do it, then he could! But how long could it take him? 3 months? Maybe half a year? Even a year wouldn't be slow!
"Although this isn't the first time I'll be building a teleportation formation from scratch, it should still take me about ten days at most..." Ling Tian frowned, but then softened.
The experience of using teleportation formations, as well as repairing them, modifying them, and even creating a few, allowed Ling Tian to calculate the time to make them. In addition, memories and experiences from his past life were also present this time, increasing his experience in the Dao of Formations when memories of information arose.
The heavenly dao, the principles of the world, as well as the spatial force in this plane lower than the Immortal World is lower and thus weaker, making Ling Tian's efforts easier to do.
"Ten days?!"
This time, Nalan Ziqing exclaimed in a low voice, quickly unable to believe Ling Tian's words. Ning Xiaoyi was also stunned and shocked, as were Xue Ning, Shan Qingwu and Zhen Bingluo. Only Xuanyuan Ling seemed a little better, understanding Ling Tian's great experience and wisdom better.
Lu Wuhu was shocked, 10 days to build a training platform? If Lu Wuhu remembered correctly, the last teleportation platform that was repaired and upgraded in this north state many years ago, needed more than 100 formation masters, plus 10 formation grandmasters, and the whole process it took them to repair it was 10 years!
How could Lu Wuhu not be totally shocked?
"You think as your Master, I'm going to let you brats surpass me~?" Ling Tian chuckled upon seeing Lu Wuhu's reaction. As their Master, he must remain superior and strong, he can't stay behind his disciples. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to have the face to continue teaching!
Besides, the knowledge, experience and wisdom of the Immortal World is nothing compared to the Cultivation World. It is normal for everyone to be surprised.
Tang Wanying arrived at once, and when she heard that Ling Tian was going to do the teleportation formation, Tang Wanying was overjoyed and an unprecedented seriousness appeared in her as she couldn't wait to watch Ling Tian perform this powerful formation.
Deciding with Lu Wuhu and Zhen Bingluo, Ling Tian found a suitable place to build the teleportation platform, which was close to his peak, but still a little close to the centre of the entire sect. This way, they would be aware of any unforeseen events, although it would not be necessary, as Ling Tian would make it in such a way that it could not be crossed or used stealthily from the other teleportation points to reach the sect.
7 days passed and a teleportation formation was built, taking less than the estimated time.
An archway made of beautiful jade, which formed an elegant but spacious entrance in the middle of the formation, was seen by everyone in the place. The archway that looked like an entrance was almost 10 meters long, while the diameter of the platform reached almost 15 meters, being a circular platform.
Ling Tian stood on the teleportation platform and a small jade token in his hand was activated, beginning to glow. The jade throughout the arc glowed beautifully, and several arrays and formations were activated, with runes and mysterious symbols glowing around the space.
The space in the centre of the formation, specifically the space inside the arch, became blurred and somewhat opaque. Some lines of the same space seemed to bend and then ripple like a calm lake that has a stone thrown into the centre.
In front of everyone, Ling Tian seemed to take a step towards the inside of the arc of the platform and suddenly disappeared.
