The Way of The Dao

Deng Tianjin regained consciousness quickly, rejoining as he lifted his eyelids and his vision cleared, looking around quickly.

"Master! Are you all right?"

"Elder Deng!"

"Elder Deng, you woke up!"

As soon as Deng Tianjin had opened his eyes and his breathing deepened, Wen Wencheng, Shi Yunfeng and the others came over and looked at him in relief.

Although Deng Tianjin had regained consciousness, his face was pale while his aura was unsteady and very weak, as if he could barely display power comparable to a cultivator of the Chi Gathering state.

"Guys..."

After looking around and not finding what he was looking for, Deng Tianjin looked at Wen Wencheng and the others.Please visit 𝓃𝑜𝓋𝓮𝓁-𝒏𝑒xt.c0m website to read fastest update

Then, Deng Tianjin noticed Xuan Li and Lang Qingzu and quickly he asked, "Girls... you..."

""Greetings, Elder Deng!""

Both Xuan Li and Lang Qingzu cupped their fists together and respectfully greeted Deng Tianjin. Both girls' expressions were excited and happy to have met one of their elders and other senior martial brothers and sisters.

"Sect Elder Deng."

Before Deng Tianjin asked how the two of them were in this place and if anyone else had come with them, an adult female voice soon caught their attention.

"Sect Elder Jun!"

Deng Tianjin recognized the elder of the Ice Heart Essence sect, Jun Zhuyun! A cultivator of the Early Stage of the Separation and Reunion state!

Beside Jun Zhuyun, Deng Tianjin recognized the sect saintess, Su Changqing, as well as some of the other girl disciples.

"I see... so you two were accompanied by Sect Elder Jun." Deng Tianjin let out a relieved expression as he understood how both Xuan Li and Lang Qingzu could be in this place, but despite that his tone of voice seemed to slightly convey some disappointment.

"Then you too can feel sad and nostalgic? You were always a very naughty and stinky kid together with little bratty Xiang."

Deng Tianjin's pupils shrank, his breathing stopped and his heart stopped when he heard an old but very familiar voice.

Stiffly turning his head, Deng Tianjin's eyes finally caught the figure he had been looking for from the beginning, his being shocked and frozen at the sight of him.

"Just because you keep quiet doesn't mean I won't scold you for easily abandoning the sect and all its members, leaving them in charge with unknown guys."

Ling Tian's gaze changed and his expression became cold and serious, with an authoritative tone scolding and reprimanding Deng Tianjin. He had not forgotten that according to his other disciples, Deng Tianjin was in charge of finding new leaders and masters for the sect they had created before going to look for him. Although Ling Tian sensed that it was not really that case, but that something must have happened with Deng Tianjin's decisions, so he would ask him directly.

Deng Tianjin's pupils shrank even more upon hearing Ling Tian's words.

Ling Tian pursed his lips and grew impatient, saying, "What aren't you going to say anything, you punk?" His hand waved in front of Deng Tianjin, snapping him out of his stupefaction.

Instantly, in front of everyone, Deng Tianjin prostrated himself before Ling Tian, bowing completely and sticking his forehead to the ground, leaving everyone stunned.

"This disciple has failed you, Master! I hope Master can correct and punish me!"

Deng Tianjin's hoarse and trembling voice filled the place at once, leaving everyone silent as they watched his actions.

Wen Wencheng and the others stared dumbfounded at what was happening, unable to comprehend what was happening before their eyes, much less why one of their sect elders was prostrating himself before a stranger.

Ling Tian raised his eyebrows slightly before smiling softly again. He waved his hand and with his aura easily lifted Deng Tianjin.

"Now that you are a master and a sect elder, you must maintain your character and avoid tarnishing your image..." Ling Tian smiled.

"Master... is it really you?" Deng Tianjin's voice trembled, looking at Ling Tian when he saw that his master's face had slightly changed to that of his memories, becoming more adult and with obvious vicissitudes of life in his eyes, as if he had experienced and observed countless things to the point of reaching the weariness of life.

"If I am not, then who else could I be? You've really grown and matured, little Tianjin." Ling Tian smiled reassuringly at the sight of him, indeed realizing that all of his disciples had grown and matured, but still maintained behaviors and traits characteristic of their childhood that he clearly remembered.

"Master!"

Deng Tianjin barely heard Ling Tian's last words and hugged him excitedly, finally realizing that he really was the master that he and all his brothers and sisters had wanted to meet.

He really is his Master, Ling Tian!

And it wasn't an illusion or confusion!

Ling Tian smiled and patted Deng Tianjin's back as he hugged him, nodding gently, "You recognize me then, brat..." Ling Tian laughed a little.

Deng Tianjin quickly recovered a little as he felt the happiness of finding his respected master, his beloved big brother who cared for him, protected him and defended him from the world.

The others in the place followed in total silent shock, watching Ling Tian and Deng Tianjin.

"M-master, what's wrong... who is he?"

Moving closer and with a hesitant voice, Wen Wencheng asked Deng Tianjin in a daze, looking between him and Ling Tian. Beside him, Shi Yunfeng and the others also looked on in shock at how Deng Tianjin was referring to and behaving towards this stranger.

Deng Tianjin blinked as he realized that these guys didn't really know Ling Tian's identity, so he took a breath and looked at Wen Wencheng, Shi Yunfeng and the others seriously.

"Guys, this person is the one both your other sect elders and I have been looking for for a long time and who we have been telling you about all along, the most important person in our hearts who took care of us, educated us and taught us everything, and thanks to him we are who we are..." Deng Tianjin smiled with emotion finally and said, "He is my Master, your Grandmaster, so in short, he is the legendary and rumored Sect Ancestor that my brothers, sisters and I have been searching for a long time."
