Heavenly Dao Child - Chapter 324

Ryuu sat in a meditative stance as he cleared his mind the whole world seemed to vanish from his sight as he travelled deeper into darkness he was greeted with a golden ball which thumbed with power, it looked beautiful and enchanting to look at, Ryuu sighed as he looked at the semi solid ball, it was the core of his power his dantian, he looked as a small draconic shadow swimming on the surface of the ball. He then felt as if the tap has been opened as 169 spirit wells of his opened their gateway as the bluish KI poured in absorbed by his dantian which hummed in approval yet no other changes took place, he knew it would be years before he would ascend again and one day face the dreaded tribulation once again.

Ryuu sighed at that as he stood up from his sitting position, he knew from his teachers that after a certain point that increasing in rank would be akin to creating an ocean from drops of water one at a time and tedious and impossible task such is the case of cultivators who were near his teachers level as such most if not all gave away cultivating waiting like a thirsty hawk for even a sliver of enlightenment after all only they could increase one’s cultivation tremendously as it happened with his predecessor who almost jumped two levels and became the strongest cultivator of his time.

Ryuu’s thoughts were interrupted upon timely arrival of Nuwa who gave a small smile to him as she spoke, “Child, your eldest sister came bearing great news, the Eden has reappeared again.”

Ryuu’s heart skipped a beat as he spoke as excitement bleed in his voice, “Where is it?”

“Antariskh came by with the information let us leave she is waiting for us.”

As they entered the throne room or what according to Ryuu was the drawing room of extreme luxury for the divine, yet it had a touch of those corporate meeting rooms with the head of the family Maheswara occupying the head seat and his first wife Veena took a seat to his left followed by Nuwa ending with Celestia and on his right sat Antariskh with his youngest at the end and directly opposite to him was Ryuu himself.

Maheswara spoke with a small smile on his face as he spoke, “So where did Eden reemerge this time?”

“Near the Oppulous Galaxy father and I fear it is out of our sphere of our influence although you have nothing to worry about the family in control are our allies.”, came Antariskh’s reply as she send a small grin towards Ryuu.

Ryuu felt anticipation rising in him the thing he wanted to do was near he was excited as well as scared, amongst his teachers Maheswara had agreed for him to explore Eden so did Celestia albeit a bit reluctantly Veena was on fence about it and Nuwa completely opposed to him going to according to her an extremely dangerous and dastardly place, but with the help of the backing of the trio of older sisters he was going there, a place where less than ten percent survived even amongst them even much less escaped unscathed a place where he had not only have to be aware dangerous beasts and traps but as well as other explorers who would literally stab you in back if given chance.

Ryuu listened to all the preparations his sister did for him as he listened he frowned as he spoke with a sigh, “Big Sis are this people willingly going or are they being forced to because they work for you?”

Antarisksh raised one of her eyebrows as she replied to him, “Well, the latter but why are you asking?”

Ryuu’s face scrunched as he spoke with a sigh, “Well then please rescind that order I would prefer to go in without any ties that link with you all also I would not feel happy and safe if you force someone to accompany me.”

Maheswara nodded in approval before spoke, “I agree with Ryuu sending someone by force might complicate things for Ryuu also him going incognito with nothing linking him to us would at least ensure that our enemies might not take advantage and murder him.”

Antariskh looked as if she had swallowed something vile as she spoke, “With all due respect further if required I will make them take oath with Heaven as the witness so that they will prioritize Ryuu’s safety as well as make them travel incognito with Ryuu this will increase his chances of survival.”

Ryuu shook his head as he spoke with a sigh, “I did rather not attempt Eden rather than teaming up with unknowns.”

Celestia rubbed her forehead in exasperation before she spoke with a sigh, “Antariskh, you had lucked out greatly each of you and your friends were destined for greatness and with luck you all had gotten together and formed a team that became legendary you all literally tore through Eden because of your abilities and trust you had on each other am I wrong?”

Antariksh sighed at that as Sylvana replied with a nod, “No mother you are absolutely right about it.”

Shamiran frowned at that as she spoke, “Well Ryuu will be at severe disadvantage then he will lack any form of backup.”

Nuwa nodded at that as she spoke with a weak smile, “As such I believe it would be wise if Ryuu does not try to explore Eden alone as it could be dangerous for him without proper backup.”

Maheswara shook his head as he spoke, “Sorry love but he will go to explore Eden and that is final.”

Veena pursed her lips as she spoke with a frown, “Ryuu dear you have been in the army for a few years now so do you not have anyone who could help you in your endeavor?”

Ryuu slumped in his chair as he spoke with a tired sigh, “I have friends in the army but they are close acquaintance, will they stick their neck to save my life in a battlefield, well may be but accompanying me to a dangerous place where I will knowingly courting danger well I am doubtful.”

Sylvana frowned at that as she spoke with her brow scrunched in deep thought, “There will be some who work in the army and will also be joining together and forming a team for exploration but once again the same problem of trust arising amongst them.”

Shamiran gave a small nod as she spoke, “Well I know how dangerous the place can be yet still I believe he will do well alone, he has been trained well enough.”

Maheswara looked at Ryuu with a small smile on his face as he spoke, “Well child get ready we will leave day after tomorrow, you will have the hardest as well as the greatest adventure of your life.”
