Strange Unbalancing Force

In an area where the sound of the waterfall could be heard endlessly, ground still a mess while the presences of some beasts roamed nearby, ripples in the air suddenly appeared, rippling the space around them as a figure emerged from it.

"It really is very difficult to comprehend these laws of space."

Ling Tian muttered as he moved his neck, stretching his body as if relaxing after appearing in this place. He moved all the way through the Space Law, teleporting several times to get there. His limitation when teleporting in space had clearly reduced, feeling that his compatibility and understanding with the Space Law was very superficial, becoming more complicated, unlike the small worlds on the lower plane.

At this moment, he had arrived at the ancient territory of the Celestial Tiger, the place where he had first come to this cultivation world. His spirit sense expanded and he looked around.

"Looks like he took the remains of his son..."

When Ling Tian entered the cave where he had found Feng Yu's belongings, he noticed that the ground had obvious signs of having been scavenged and the bones he had noticed earlier were gone.

Feng Wuyu must have come for Feng Yu's remains.

Ling Tian also noticed that there was a bit of movement near the site as he came along the road. Some city guards were apparently making their rounds throughout the valley while others were staying near the place where he was currently standing.

Ling Tian also encountered a man at the Golden Core Early Stage, who was leading the guards he had encountered the first time. His aura was slightly unstable, which was evident that this man had barely increased his cultivation.

Ling Tian decided to leave the formation he had left in case anyone approached, that way no one would be able to detect what was going on inside. His spirit sense moved towards the inside of the cave slowly, looking for anything abnormal that might be there.

"Uhm?"

The moment he entered the cave deeper and took a few steps, Ling Tian sensed a slight change in the air that would go unnoticed thanks to the reaction of the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures!

The aura of the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures reacted strangely, indicating to Ling Tian that there was something different about this place.

"Some small fish and a small lake in the deepest part of this cave..." Ling Tian frowned as he finally reached the end of the cave, finding it spacious and clearly with a peculiar lake inside that curiously contained two small fish.

"Strange..."

Ling Tian observed the place carefully before focusing his attention on the lake. A frown remained on Ling Tian's face all this time, observing the interaction of the two fish and covering the lake with his spirit sense.

He couldn't perceive anything different about this place with the naked eye!

But Ling Tian knew there was something here, otherwise, then how did the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures react upon entering this place?

Something mysterious should be found in this place, something that even he could not easily grasp...

Ling Tian took a deep breath before continuing, knowing that despair does him no good. His concentration was fixed on the lake, scanning every part of it.

The water of the lake is so calm, with a crystal clear and clean consistency, while the two small fish within it seemed to swim in circles and then in simple patterns, keeping their distance from each other a few times before coming together for a while and then separating again.

His mind focused entirely on the lake, focusing essentially on the pattern of the two fish that seemed to contain a mysterious rhythm as they swam.

"Unless..." Ling Tian whispered slowly, letting his consciousness wander and focus solely on the lake and the mysterious behavior of the two fish as the two fish swam leisurely and seemingly meaninglessly. Sometimes he would linger on one of them for a few seconds before switching fish, letting his consciousness try to keep up with the footsteps. His consciousness blended into the place, similar to the times he did to understand the mysteries and laws of space.

Slowly, Ling Tian was feeling a slight strange and unknown sensation, but at the same time it felt vaguely familiar...

Soon slight ripples appeared on the surface of the small lake, gradually growing. Ling Tian felt that the water was like a smooth connection connecting the two fish, feeling the softness and ease in alternating his gaze each time he did so.

After a while, a fish in the water turned and swam in a different direction breaking its established pattern, causing Ling Tian to follow it with his gaze when he suddenly felt a sudden loss and began to feel short of breath!

Ling Tian tried to utter a sound but couldn't!

As if his instinct told him to, his gaze soon searched for the other fish and focused on it!

The situation improved when oxygen returned to him and he was able to breathe, gasping heavily!

* Cough! *

But Ling Tian couldn't breathe easy when the next moment he felt his lungs fill with air relentlessly, expanding them as pain invaded him and urged him to cough to try to get what he had out.

It was as if huge amounts of energy were gathering in him and at any moment he could explode from not being able to contain it!

Understanding what had happened earlier, Ling Tian followed his instincts and once again shifted his gaze to the previous fish.

"Haaaa~!"

Ling Tian gasped and coughed again, feeling his lungs aching and his body strange. But he couldn't rest when again he was starting to run out of air, feeling his consciousness trembling this time and was about to faint.

Ling Tian tried to withdraw his consciousness but couldn't!

Then, when he thought the same episode was repeating itself, Ling Tian felt the vitality in his body fading away!

His youthful and vigorous body at its peak soon withered away, showing the signs of old age and despondency, as if he was about to die having reached his life limit!

In the blink of an eye, Ling Tian seemed to have reached old age as his hair soon began to fall out!

Ling Tian spat out blood as he felt his body and soul just one step from the door of death, before forcing his gaze to shift and focus on the other fish.

As soon as he connected his gaze with the other fish, vitality, strength and energy returned to him, feeling at the peak of his youth and life!

Ling Tian knew that even though he had been saved from dying and his life had returned, it would not be so easy. It was like a strange force that would unbalance him at all times!

As if to fulfill his reasoning, Ling Tian felt his vitality and energy soon began to build up to the point where he felt overflowing with energy, strangely on the verge of bursting as he could no longer contain it!

Even the water in the lake was altered, creating ripples and fierce movements on its surface!

His short hair quickly grew long like a waterfall, bringing a unique shine and returning to his true appearance in the past when he was in the Immortal realm, letting out his aura and displaying dignity, pride, prestige and power as a mighty Supreme!

Then, flames of fire began to appear in his organs; a golden flame in his heart, another flame in the middle of his two lungs, a flame in his liver and another flame in his spleen.

This event finally made Ling Tian begin to feel a bit of despair!

These flames in his organs were the ritual to offer his life to Heaven and Earth, erase and scatter his soul to finally become another form of existence in the universe for eternity!

His clothes shredded, his body filled with a fierce heat turning completely red as his blood boiled and his tendons, veins and arteries twisted underneath the completely red skin. Even his long hair that had grown out turned slightly scarlet.

This sensation was no different from the one he felt when he received together with Yun Mengxin the inheritance of the Holy Shrine!

A Yang energy essence gradually began to emerge from him.
