Ling Tian cupped his fists for the last time towards the place where Linqi had disappeared. His gratitude towards him and the advice he passed on to him was very valuable, therefore, he truly respected him.
But he had a small intuition that he might see him again, only in a different way...
Ling Tian looked at the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures in his hand; even though he could not open or make this book his own now, it did not bother him, as if he really felt that he would not have to hurry or worry for now.
"But this, how could this help me?" Ling Tian continued to look at the book and did not find some essential purpose in having this.
According to legend, this said that this contained the secrets and mysteries of the universe, one could rise straight up to the heavens and have unimaginable power. But Ling Tian scrutinized every part and was sure that rather than having the mysteries to reach heaven, these scriptures are more like they are a record of his life, a record of him having it in his position.
"The first section is completely sealed and chained, as well as ancient and very old... and the second section, hum?..." Ling Tian murmured as he examined the book, realizing that there was a slight crack in the second section, as if something had wanted to break the chains.
"Haa..." Ling Tian sighed and he didn't torture himself anymore thinking about why there would be such a small crack in that section, when that section supposedly belonged to the being who had been before him. There would be many assumptions and Ling Tian did not probe further into it.
The third section which, apparently was his, was completely sealed in the same way, but to a lesser extent, as if there was a slight barrier that could be broken at any moment. However, no matter how much Ling Tian tried to break or move that third section, he could not break through it.
Ling Tian only checked it a couple more times before leaving it and getting out of this strange space.
When he opened his eyes, a small small table with a cup of hot tea was beside him.
"Do you need anything, Master?" Shin Wei's voice came a few seconds later when he realized that Ling Tian had opened his eyes. Shin Wei was sitting a few feet away near Ling Tian, meditating quietly.
Everyone was aware of Ling Tian's condition and kept an eye on him.
"Don't worry. I'm fine." Ling Tian smiled calmly as he took the cup of tea gently, smelling its fragrant scent before slowly taking a sip, enjoying its taste, 'These brats have really found many treasures...' Ling Tian thought inwardly as he recognized the quality of tea that Shin Wei had made for him. This kind of tea was not easy to find, let alone get.
Hao Zhentian was also near them, refining his sword. Sun Xiang was apparently asleep, but anyone could tell that he could react to the slightest movement, never relaxing his guard. Ying Chen was nowhere to be seen, but Ling Tian quickly found him nearby, surveying the scene.
Xuanyuan Ling and Jiu Ming were in the lake cultivating. The little white fox was in the same place, gathering energy from the lake as well. Chu Feng likewise was cultivating under the shade of another tree.
Ling Tian put the teacup back on the small table to the side and again concentrated.
Slowly mobilizing the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures energy, Ling Tian drew it into his Dantian. Although his meridians were mostly shattered equally, the main priority is to repair the Dantian. If he did not repair his own core of his body, then it would be of no use if he completely healed his meridians.
Soon, one of the many cracks in the Dantian began to slowly close as the mysterious energy from the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures flowed in.
"It works..." Ling Tian murmured with slight relief as he saw that his Dantian was beginning to be slightly repaired. Although it was slow, there was effect.
"But at this rate, it will take decades to fully repair it..." Ling Tian was certain that it would take many years to repair the Dantian like this. Although this energy coming from this heavenly book was powerful, it seemed that it wasn't very effective, or maybe it wasn't quite that.
Taking a medicinal pill, Ling Tian swallowed it and softly enveloped it with the energy from the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures, extracting its medicinal effect and moving it towards the Dantian.
"It seems you really want me to live as a cripple for a long time." Ling Tian sighed helplessly as he looked at his Dantian. The cracks repaired slightly faster, but it would still take him a long time to repair it completely.
"I don't think the Essence of Dawn and Life will help me..." Ling Tian shook his head as he finished refining the medicinal pill after a long time.
It wasn't that medicinal pills were useless, it was that his Dantian was shattered by the Primordial Chaos Force!
That kind of chaotic energy was far from easy to fight, let alone cure. More so now that Linqi had told him that this chaos energy seemed to be somewhat impure or incomplete, so it would be easy to say that it wouldn't be easy at all to repair it.
"The Essence of Dawn and Life might shorten the recovery time a bit, but it won't be enough. I need something that will specifically repair my Dantian and my meridians..."
The Essence of Dawn and Life could save one from dying, especially having burned one's Blood and Life Essences, so it would add vitality to one's body, thus preventing one from dying. But it was not very effective in repairing the meridians and Dantian.
He would have to look for some specific herbs to repair his Dantian. He did not have the necessary herbs for repairing Dantian and meridians, not even Hao Zhentian and the others had special pills for the Dantian.
"Haa... I'll have to look for heavenly treasures or legendary herbs so that I can refine it into a pill." The first time, it was thanks to the World Tree that he was able to quickly repair his meridians in a few seconds, demonstrating the powerful vitality of this heavenly tree that could heal any damage, but now this great support was no longer available and he will have to look for another factor to help him recover.
Ling Tian inhaled deeply and then leaned against the tree behind him, breathing calmly while keeping his eyes closed. His condition was not like before and a tiredness would attack him after a certain amount of time.
Ling Tian looked like just another young man, with a calmness and peace that one would not think his body was in such a bad state leaving aside the bandages in some parts.
Even he himself was slightly surprised to realize that he was calm and without despair, when before he might have been worried and somewhat anxious about healing quickly. It's as if he seemed like he didn't really care about being in this state...
After a while, Ling Tian opened his eyes when he felt a presence approaching and then noticed a charming figure heading towards him. The cup of tea on the small table was full again beside him and was kept warm all this time.
"Miss me already?" Ling Tian smiled slightly mischievously as he looked at Tang Wanying.
"If you want I can leave, I have no problem~" Tang Wanying replied with a subtle tease as she looked at Ling Tian, finally arriving before him.
Ling Tian's faint grin grew a little bigger and he said, "You're taking advantage of the fact that I can't move much now, huh?"
Tang Wanying stuck out her tongue playfully and then sat down beside Ling Tian.
"If I don't do it with you, who should I do it with then?" Tang Wanying stuck to Ling Tian, keeping that spectacular smile on her beautiful face and said, "Besides, if I don't take advantage right now, then I won't have any more chance in the future." A slight pout formed on her face.
Ling Tian shook his head slightly with a small smile and gently moved his arm towards Tang Wanying, hugging her delicate and soft waist. At once, he gave her a loving kiss on her exquisite cheek, blushing Tang Wanying slightly as she remembered that the others were nearby.
But neither Hao Zhentian, Shin Wei and the others were paying attention; they were all minding their own business.
"When did you stop being yourself?" Ling Tian soon spoke up and said, "Although the first time we talked you were very serious and straightforward, and then you were very cold, all this time later you've been so playful and mean to me without anything stopping you, and now you say you won't have a chance later?"
"Hmph! More beautiful women will appear and my sisters and I fear that you will forget about us..." Tang Wanying complained and moved her attention to the other side, preventing Ling Tian from watching her face. However, she did not let go of Ling Tian's arm that wrapped around her waist.
With everything Ling Tian had told them, as well as what his disciples and his best friend's wife had told, they knew that there would be many women arriving and wanting to surrender themselves at Ling Tian's door. It was only a matter of time...
Almost the same thought Ling Tian had, but he just shook his head, thinking that although there might be thousands of beautiful and spectacular women, with unimaginable beauty, he would not be tempted and attracted just because of that.
"Do you really believe me to be such a womanizer?" Ling Tian pretended to make an offended face and immediately said, "Besides, there are countless strong men who would do anything for you, and I fear that you might leave me in the future..."
The next moment, Tang Wanying turned her head and looked straight at Ling Tian with a furious and annoyed expression. But she was unable to say anything when she met Ling Tian's playful expression, with his eyes conveying a hint of teasing and playfulness.
"You're so hateful..." Tang Wanying grumbled and turned her head again, almost turning her back to Ling Tian.
"I will never leave you, not even if the universe is destroyed, you will always be my only man, just as my sisters hold you in their hearts." Tang Wanying whispered, her cheeks blushing slightly but not turning around yet.
Ling Tian smiled softly, hugging Tang Wanying's waist tighter and clinging to her, feeling her soft and spectacular body.
He somehow understood that these women were slightly afraid that he might forget them and become interested in more women. But Ling Tian really would not take interest in other women so easily; Yun Mengxin and the others had something that attracted him and had captivated his heart and soul.
Everyone is afraid that at some point their partners might leave them or go with someone else, Ling Tian is also a human and has that slight feeling of worry. But he always rejected it by putting his women's trust first.
"Don't you trust me? I am your man and no matter what, I won't leave you or your sisters. You are my beloved wives whom I would never abandon, even if the end of the universe and the destruction of all realms came. I will still continue to love you." Ling Tian whispered sweetly and lovingly to Tang Wanying, causing the latter to let out a small bright smile and feel happy, leaning a little on Ling Tian and letting his other arm embrace her, feeling the reassurance in them and the confidence Ling Tian conveyed to her.
Although Tang Wanying had slight worries about Ling Tian's future and abandonment, that one day he would get bored and stop loving her, she also trusted Ling Tian, her husband, this man who had her heart and everything from her.
The wind blew gently, with Ling Tian lovingly embracing Tang Wanying as she let herself be embraced and feel happy and safe in his arms.
