Heavenly Dao Child - Chapter 325

Ryuu felt his heart beat faster as he looked at the gigantic imposing structure towering in front of him, as he looked at it Antariskh who was standing by his side spoke with a smile, “Is it not beautiful?”

Ryuu nodded at that as he spoke with smile, “Very, although it looks somewhat like ‘Angkor Wat’ to me.”

Shamiran who was sitting on a chair gained a confused look on her face as she spoke, “‘Anchor What’? What is that?”

Ryuu snorted at that as he replied to her while turning his head towards her, “Not ‘Anchor What’, but ‘Angkor Wat’ remnants of temple from a powerful civilization that belonged to my previous world, the Eden is almost an exact replica of it, well a replica that is as big as the moon.”

Antaisksh hummed in thought as Ryuu spoke with wonder in his voice, “Wow there are so many people here.”

Shamiran had a nostalgic smile on her face as she spoke, “I do not remember so much activity around Eden during our time, but now.”

Sylvana grinned at that as she spoke, “We came here during our younger years it has been so many years have passed as such so many things have changed.”

Antariskh gave a small sigh at that as she spoke, “I doubt during our time there were even a tenth of the number present today, really the time sure flies away.”

Ryuu nodded as he spoke in rather solemn manner, “It really should be much different, it had been so many years since you all had ventured here after all compared to all the people present here you all should be akin to some great great grandmother to the oldest present amongst them after all you three are ancient.”

As Veena stepped inside the room she saw an unconscious Ryuu denting the floor of the vessel with Antariskh standing beside him with her hand stretched out huffing in anger, “What is going on here? Did you just hit his head hard again?”

Antariskh snarled at she replied to her mother, “Yes I did, this insolent brat had the audacity to call me ancient.”

Veena let out a tired sigh as she face palmed herself as she spoke in exasperatedly, “You are his oldest sister and you cannot handle a bit of teasing, what am I to do with you.”, she then made her way to Ryuu as she proceeded to bring Ryuu back into the land of living.

Ryuu woke up groggily as he spoke with a wince, “Did someone se the hippo that knocked me.”

Antariskh took deep breath in order to calm herself as her hands clenched in anger while her sisters stifled their laugh, Veena cracked a grin as she helped Ryuu to sit on the chair before she began treating her concussion, “It is almost time stop fooling around Ryuu.”

Ryuu stood up as he was escorted out of the room by Veena towards another room where his other teachers were waiting for his arrival as he stepped inside the room he was greeted by their warm smile.

Maheswara stood up as he gave a gentle pat on his back as he motioned him to take a seat, “So Ryuu, are you nervous?”

Ryuu gave a small smile at that as he spoke, “Well I will not lie but yes I am a little bit nervous.”

Celestia gave him a reassuring smile at him as she spoke, “You know as long as you keep your head clear and work diligently you have nothing worry about.”

Ryuu nodded at that as he was offered some snacks freshly made by Nuwa herself which she accepted with a smile, which promptly fell as a thought crossed his mind, ‘I have to spend so long without this wonderful food maybe I should not go, hmmm will the concussion be a good excuse.’

His teachers simply gave him a deadpanned look as they looked at him shifting from deep thought to an eureka look not to mention the small villain like giggle that escaped his lips with a small drool while his hand rubbing as if he had his entire planning was already a big success, unfortunately for Ryuu the moment his hands moved to pick them up Nuwa moved them out of his reach as she spoke with a slight glare, “Child I told you long time ago to forget about the entire Eden business and now when you are on verge of entering Eden I cannot allow you to stop because you suddenly decided that my food is too good for you to venture into Eden, well that will not do when you can already spend decades in the army, although our beloved daughters used to send you care packages every now and then but that will not do child.”

Ryuu was taken aback before he slumped in his seat as he spoke with a pout, “I hate when you all can read my thoughts like that.”

Celestia snorted at that as she spoke with a small smile on her face, “Well then stop advertising your thoughts like that.”

Ryuu simply hung his head with a defeated look on his face, Maheswara gave a small smile as he spoke with a cough, “Ryuu before you embark I want to tell you a few things, things that might decide your life or death in eden.”

Ryuu sat up straight as he gave undivided attention to Maheswara, “Child I have noticed when you were younger you were forced to rely on your Divine Body to get yourself out of pinch, now you are stronger more wiser and most importantly you have gained tremendous amount of experience as a result you do not use your Divine Body and when you go all out the presence of your Divine Body shows itself by causing some physical changes but not much increase in strength something alas you cannot help even if you grow as strong as me something will be out of your control.”, Ryuu listened intently as Maheswara took a deep breath as he continued, “Upon saying that Ryuu I have noticed that over the years your l.u.s.t for battle and blood has grown simply because you wish to fight eve if you go all out you do not use all your abilities.”

Ryuu looked scandalized at that as he spoke, “I never…”

Veena stopped him from speaking as she raised her hand, “Really Ryuu, I saw the memories of your fight with those four beasts if you were seriously fighting them, they would not have lasted half the time they had and that is taking into considering without you using your Divine Body, no matter how you might want to portray that you went all out at the end of the day you held back.”

Ryuu looked down suddenly found the floor interesting and for a moment he thought to speak, ‘It is not like I can help it, I cannot stop those whispers those craving for blood that gnaws at me and the want to destroy everything and anything in front of me.’, but he held his tongue.

Maheswara sighed at that as he spoke, “Well I do not care if you enjoy fighting, or you held back your strength but please try not to do so and when using your Divine Body make sure that either your companions are trustworthy or your witnesses will be eliminated shortly.”

Nuwa ruffled his hair as she spoke, “There is no need to try and hide Ryuu, we know you have some problems with Dao of Asura, but we also know that the only two roads in front of you now either cutting by yourself from rest of the world and then sealing yourself off or by slowly through trials and tribulation and practice making yourself immune to its effects.”

Ryuu’s eyes widen slightly at that as he spoke with disbelief, “How do you know that?”

Celestia snorted at that as she spoke, “Child we are your teachers and if we cannot even notice something like that then we are unworthy of being called teachers.”

A few hours after Ryuu had chat with his teachers he found himself walking through a busy market for cultivators where the buyers were haggling with the sellers as he was looking around a shout brought his attention making him to turn his head, “Ryuu is that you?”
