Heavenly Dao Child - Chapter 507

Celestia snarled as she spoke out loud, “I knew it, I knew something would happen.”

Maheswar g.r.o.a.n.e.d as he spoke, “Now is not the time love.”, he turned towards Veena as he spoke with a frown, “Did you manage to lock on to their location?”

Veena nodded as she replied with a frown, “Yes I have, though why did she move with our disciple in such a manner?”

Antariksh let out a gasp as she spoke, “Do not tell me it is that woman again?”

Suddenly everyone was smothered by a copious amount of killing intent as Veena spoke with a growl, “If that harlot even harms a single hair of either of them I will kill her even if I have to sacrifice my existence.”

Sylvana gulped seeing her mother extremely angry for the first time in a long while, as such she quickly intervened as she spoke in a soothing voice, “Mother you can be angry as much as you want to but first let us go and meet up with second mother and brother, as we are wasting precious time.”

Her words managed to placate Veena as the group soon left for the last known location of Nuwa and Ryuu, and upon reaching the place they were shocked at the sight in front of their eyes.

Ryuu was on his knees with his palm of his hands placed on the ground as blood flowed freely from his hands as a large array seemed to form, he was so completely focused on his work that he did not even pay any attention to any of them.

‘Lower you powers now, you all will mutate It.’, the sharp rebuke made the group immediately lower their powers only for Celestia to gasp at the realization of the situation in front of him.

“Sister does he have any pills to help him.”

‘No, now let us focus.’

Celestia quickly turned towards the rest of her family as she spoke, “This is the worst case situation, Veena you are with me I will help you to craft pills that Ryuu needs.”, she then turned towards others as she spoke, “I do not need to stress how vital this is for him.”

Seeing the grim look on their faces Celestia continued with a hardened look on her face, “Form a perimeter so that even an ant can touch him.”

With a nod, Maheswara and his daughter disappeared while Celestia sent a look of concern towards Ryuu as she whispered lowly, “You really were born under the wrong stars.”

A few minutes ago back in Kuvosie, Ryuu dropped the half-eaten meat bun from his hand as he spoke with his voice filled with fear and panic, “Teacher y tribulation is starting, I do not know what to do, I am not prepared.”

It took a moment for Nuwa to realize what her disciple who was almost like a son said to her, for a moment she felt as if her heart would stop beating but seeing the scared look on Ryuu’s face quickly brought her out of the stunned state as she grabbed hold of him and left Kuvosie.

Sensing the sudden burst of power Yamamoto quickly tore the door open as the guards hidden or otherwise stormed in to see a few meat buns still steaming on the ground.

The leader of the guard quickly spoke, “Daoist Yamamoto please hold down the fort, our trackers are picking up signal on whereabouts of His Highness we will meet up with him, but until then please keep the situation here normal.”

Yamamoto gave a nod with a grimace on his face, while every guard that had accompanied Ryuu had left quickly to chase after him.

In the case of a mutated Tribulation, two things would happen, either it got stronger or it got weaker, if it got stronger the already difficult tribulation would be nigh impossible for Ryuu to overcome and if it got stronger it would not only hamper Ryuu’s growth but also curb his future accomplishment.

It was one of the many reasons that had led cultivators to seek out places where they can alone whenever they were transcending tribulations, but most importantly Nuwa wanted to help Ryuu who was caught flat-footed due to the sudden arrival of the tribulation.

Upon reaching their destination Nuwa quickly held Ryuu’s shoulder as she spoke, “Ryuu, listen we believe in you, as such we know you would succeed, do you have anything that can help you?”

Ryuu shook his head as he spoke, “I only have some pills that can heal me nothing more.”

“Blood replenishing?”

“I have.”

“Ok, start creating arrays that you know, that can be used during tribulation, using your own blood, there is no need for you to think about anything else just focus on your task, we will buy you five minutes at most.”

“But…”

“Ryuu!”, Nuwa spoke sternly making Ryuu go ramrod before her voice softened up as she spoke, “Ryuu time is running out please begin your work and do not pay attention to anything else but remember only five minutes , you will be fine believe in yourself.”

While Ryuu was busy working on the array, Nuwa had kneeled behind him except she was floating on air a few inches from the ground while her hands were placed over his shoulder blades.

‘We hope they arrive soon, and we hope our plan works and it does not backfire like that time, we still remember the folly of our senior, he was a mid level Daofather at that while I had recently ascended, his son had a similar problem just as Ryuu as such the father dispersed and prevented the tribulation until his son was ready, it was a huge mistake.’

Being reminded of the incident sent shivers down Nuwa’s spine, she still remembered how the poor son of the senior was forced to face a tribulation that would even kill a peak level Celestial while he was just trying to transcend into an Immortal.

The mournful cry of the senior for his only son, the only living relative had been unbearable for Nuwa, but what came next was even more horrifying as a secondary tribulation soon descended on the senior and it had killed him as well.

‘We just have to balance out everything and with a just a bit of delaying we think Ryuu could make it work, we dare not to do anything more regarding his tribulation, but even then it is a very difficult thing to do, never did we ever think that we would use something that we had developed to help our children, something that we hoped to never have the chance to use again, though where are they.’

By the time the thought passed through her mind, the rest of her family had arrived and it did not take much time for them to start the necessary preparations to help Ryuu.

Celestia quickly accompanied Veena as they moved a good few kilometres away from Ryuu, as Celestia spoke with a frown, “I believe this is far, enough though I would warn you my enlightenment on the Dao of Time is very low, I will have to give my all.”

Veena nodded as she spoke, “Do not worry I will finish it as fast as possible.”

Celestia snorted as she spoke, “Please, I may not be as good as you are regarding pill making but even I know that it is something that cannot be rushed, so take your time and do your best.”

Meanwhile, on another part of the planet Antariskh could not help but ask her father about the question that was nagging in her mind since they had arrived on the planet.

“Father, what is second mother doing?”

Maheswara frowned as he replied to her, “Your second mother, a longtime ago had developed a technique that would delay the descent of tribulation for a few minutes, she created it for situation similar to what Ryuu is facing, after all these years I hope she remembers exactly how it works.”

Hearing Maheswara’s words the trio of sisters gawked at him as Sylvana spoke, “Father exactly how long has mother developed this skill.”

Maheswara frowned in deep thought as he spoke, “It took her ages but she managed to create it just before you all had your first tribulation but she never had the chance to use it until now.”

The sisters suddenly felt a headache as Shamiran spoke, “Father how does it work?”

Maheswara scratched his chin as he spoke, “Well I do not remember much of it but from what I know she is trying to con the Heaven’s itself.”

“What!”, as the combined scream of his daughter came to his ears Maheswara let out a chuckle as he spoke, “Yes, what she is trying to do is outrageous and unbelievable as such it also requires her full focus and concentration even slight mistake would annihilate them both.”

The sisters could only send a wary look towards Ryuu’s direction as Maheswara snapped back at them, “Instead of looking towards Ryuu’s direction quickly secure the planet, it would not be long before his tribulation starts.”

Ryuu let out a deep breath that he did not know he was holding back, and as he stood up from his position Nuwa’s voice came to his ears, “Have you finished child?”

Ryuu gave a nod and as he turned he was stunned to see the tired look on Nuwa’s face, it was an extremely mentally exhausting process for her, and even then she touched Ryuu’s cheek as she spoke with a smile that could only appear on a proud mother’s face.

“You did well Ryuu, extremely so, the array you created is extremely good and we know you would succeed, all the best.”

With that, she moved away from Ryuu, only for his attention to be grabbed by Veena who called out his name, and before he could react Veena had handed him various medicinal pills that he would need during the tribulation.

“Use them as you need them Ryuu, and I know you would succeed.”, her words were followed by a tousling of his hair.

“Ryuu remember we all are with you and we all know you would succeed.”, the statement and the warm smile on the otherwise tired-looking Celestia warmed his heart.

The words of his teachers made him incredibly happy and bolstered with immense confidence, he suddenly felt empowered to the point that he could take upon thousands of Celestials and would win, as such he cupped his hands as he spoke with a deep bow, “Thank you teachers I will win.”

With that, he sat on the middle of the set of arrays in lotus position with his eyes closed as the tribulation descended upon him.

While the tribulation began, the trio watched Ryuu without blinking as they were soon joined by their husband and daughters.

Maheswara looked towards Ryuu as he spoke, “Did it work?”

Nuwa sighed as she spoke, “We do not know until the tribulation is over anything can happen, we just…”

As Nuwa trailed off Mahewara placed a comforting hand on her shoulder as he spoke, “You all did a great job, and believe me when I say he willsucceed, but now watch him as he succeeds.”
