"After I arrived on the Heavenly Moon Continent and traveled around looking for a way to return to our world to find you, I met little Ning."historical

Ling Tian's gentle and affectionate gaze fell upon Xue Ning, calmly describing how he met her and what he did during that time. His eyes were like shining stars that conveyed a sense of calm and serenity along with immense affection upon seeing her, as if he was looking at a very important loved one.

Although Xue Ning was one of the people close to him that he really valued but they had only had a short time together, Ling Tian always held her in his heart and wished for her well-being. The path of cultivation was always a long, winding, cold and particularly lonely road. If he could meet Xue Ning in the future, Ling Tian would be delighted and try to help her but if not, he only wished that she could live a carefree and happy life.

Xue Ning's mind fell in shock. She did not know what this big brother who always protected her from the rain and storm and embraced her warmly from the cold had gone through, becoming her only most beloved and important relative.

"After I took care of little Ning for a while I managed to find a way to return to this world and for the first time it was that I took in and accepted my first disciples." Ling Tian looked at Zhen Bingluo's group and smiled warmly, "Although these little brats were mischievous and playful back then, I consider them as my family, my closest and dearest relatives. And now I see that they have grown into extraordinary men and wonderful women."

Stunned gazes were fixed on Zhen Bingluo, Gao Xue, Gao Yue and Xuanyuan Ling, who looked with wonderful smiles at Ling Tian, with the brilliance and beauty of stars in their eyes.

There was a long silence, the gazes mostly focused on Ling Tian, who calmly stroked gently the heads of the two little girls sitting on his legs. The commotion gradually subsided, but there were still traces of surprise in the gazes.

There were still many questions directed at Ling Tian, about how did he do all this time? What did he do once he discovered the alteration of time in these abandoned worlds and how was it that he gained disciples and more.

"Master... why are your meridians and Dantian crippled?"

Suddenly, a hesitant and somewhat nervous question was heard, leaving everyone stunned!

Several spiritual senses flowed into Ling Tian and observed his shattered meridians and, with a closer search found his Dantian badly cracked to the point of turning to dust if it was hit by the slightest energy.

Zhen Bingluo asked nervously, being stunned when she happened to see the horrible state of the meridians in Ling Tian. Although she didn't know what had happened to her Master, she and her martial sisters thought of the sword Ling Tian had thrown against the shadow of the giant black sword and couldn't help but think that there was something strange about this moment.

"Huh?" Gu Yan was dumbfounded and looked at Ling Tian in shock. She did not hesitate at this moment and her spirit sense observed Ling Tian's body.

"Master... are you crippled?" Zhao Yu's slightly trembling but clearly shocked voice was heard as she also couldn't help but scan Ling Tian's body, realizing his current state.

Both women were shocked and frightened to see that their Master was actually crippled!

After they found Ling Tian, their minds relaxed and they couldn't help but feel like joyful and happy little girls to be with their Master again. It was always like this, relaxing all their defenses and feeling safe with Ling Tian. But precisely this made them unaware of their Master's horrible state.

For a cultivator to become a cripple was far worse than death! Even more so if this one was very powerful!

Ling Tian is the pinnacle of immortality in the Immortal Realm, the number 1 recognized powerhouse! And now he had become a cripple, a waste in the eyes of the world!

Zhao Yu and Gu Yan could not help but feel pain and anxiety in their hearts and pushed all their unnecessary thoughts aside. Their Master was their pillar, their sense of confidence and more in their lives, and now that they saw that he had fallen in his cultivation they couldn't help but feel even more shocked. Their weak spirit senses quickly searched through their storage rings and pulled out all the medicinal liquids and pills available to Ling Tian without hesitation.

Not only them, Xue Ning along with Gao Xue, Gao Yue and Zhen Bingluo also took out all their high-grade medicinal pills without hesitation. Even sacred and very rare medicines could be found in them.

Medicinal pills and liquids, unrefined herbs and plants, as well as artifacts containing a great aura of vitality appeared in each of the hands that reached out to Ling Tian in less than a few seconds. The vital energy was so strong and concentrated that it became slightly thick in the air, filling the entire place.

Regardless of the fact that they had wanted to hand over all their powerful medicines to Ling Tian the moment they met, Ning Xiaoyi and Xi Fei did not hesitate and again took out all their medicinal pills and treasures for him. Ling Tian's condition was the main worry in their minds, so they would not hesitate to do everything possible for him to recover and be able to cultivate like all of them again.

Although they knew that the higher a person's cultivation was and the more time he spends on remaining a cripple, as well as the more horrible the state of destruction of the meridians were, the chances of getting cured decreased exponentially, therefore no one hesitated to give everything they had. Everyone could clearly see that Ling Tian's Meridians were very shattered and horrible, especially his Dantian; if the Dantian was completely destroyed, it would be impossible to cultivate again in this life...

Long Yuyin and the others were surprised by this and an appreciation filled their hearts as they saw that these women did not spare or hesitate to take out their most precious and valuable medicinal pills upon seeing Ling Tian crippled. These women... it seems that they will really be good and valuable sisters to rely on.

The place was filled with a medicinal aroma, fresh and pleasant. From the smell alone, anyone could tell that there were so many sacred medicines! Even the wounds on Zhao Yu and Gu Yan's bodies began to slowly heal just by breathing in the abundant medicinal air!

Ling Tian's heart couldn't help but warm up, feeling a warm feeling full of gratitude upon seeing the actions of each of them. In a cold world like this, normally no one would easily give up their things to help others, only strength and power mattered.

"Thank you..." Ling Tian whispered affectionately and gratefully, patting Gu Yan's head beside him and Xue Ning's who approached, "My state is somewhat complicated and hard to explain, but you can be sure that in the future I will return to cultivate again once I repair my Meridians together with my Dantian. It's just a matter of time and effort!"

Ling Tian's calm words seemed to carry a kind of magic that calmed everyone's anxious and desperate hearts.

This time, Lan Yin and Qing Sha couldn't help but look at these beautiful big sisters who made all kinds of medicinal pills and herbs appear with abundant fragrances filling their little noses. Their eyes were curious to see what was in front of them, but still, they did not move from Ling Tian's lap, fearful that they would lose their places and be snatched away.

Ling Tian looked at the anxious and sad faces of each woman, clearly expressing their feelings as they knew about his condition. His gaze fell upon all the jade jars filled with high quality medicinal pills, medicinal liquids, very rare and almost impossible to find sacred medicines, as well as high level spiritual plants and herbs that were well preserved and had not been refined.

His heart was filled with warmth and affection once again. The appreciation and feeling he had for each of them grew and confirmed that everything he had done was worthwhile; having dear people like this, worthy and valuable companions who did not hesitate to help him when he needed it most, certainly made him feel loved.

"It's fine, but you don't need to worry too much. I still have other means to defend myself and be strong enough."

Ling Tian smiled calmly. Looking at the anxious expressions, he didn't want to worry them anymore. Although all the medicinal pills and treasures in the room would repair crippled cultivators with great success, to him it wasn't very effective. He could try to refine all these sacred medicines along with the Silver Leaf Flower he has, but his intuition tells him that it won't do much good.

He had tried to repair his Meridians and Dantian through the life force coming from the spiritual twin tree in his heart that was given to him by his two female disciples, but there was not much result. It seemed as if there was a strange energy around his meridians that prevented their recovery, constantly clashing against the force of the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures and the Purple Chi that tried to repair each meridian very slowly.

His Dantian seemed much worse, with more of that strange energy enveloping him. Calculating, it would take him a few decades to repair his meridians in this way relying on the current power of the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures, the Purple Chi and the sacred medicines he took.

Ling Tian was almost certain that he would need at least a powerful force or abundant natural spiritual Chi to be able to counteract that strange energy and be able to repair his meridians and Dantian. A special place. It seemed that the only method to follow was to heal through the natural course.

"Saintess Xue, you shouldn't give away the high-level sacred medicines given to you by the Sect! It will be spent in vain if used on a cripple!"

Suddenly, an anxious voice that seemed to be concerned but added a trace of reluctance and even disdain attracted the attention of each of the women.
