The Urban Dao Child

Yang Dao and Dao Yin came to the cloud palace where Alisha was hosting the guests. Amil, Shakti, Trent, Daina, Daniel. They saw Yang Dao coming over and greeted him. The boy made a basic introduction and Dao Yin only greeted people with a nod.

She did not smile for anyone other than Yang Dao. The boy did not mind it, it felt natural to him. Soon, after a few minutes, Athena also came over, however, her expression was a little complicated. She came and said, "Dao, can we talk for a moment?"

Yang Dao nodded and walked out with her. His face had a faint smile as he asked, "Did you agree to that heavenly spirit?"

Athena was surprised and asked, "How do you know?"

The boy chuckled, "It is written all over your face. You were trying to figure out a way to tell me about it. Were you not?"

Athena sighed and said, "How do you always know what is going on inside my mind?"

Yang Dao shrugged his shoulders as he himself was not aware. Athena said, "Dao, that senior said, that I have a special physique and if I go away to train under him, then I will be able to reach a level that no ordinary mortal could achieve, then I will be able to help you in things."

The boy shook his head and said, "Athena, do not make any decision based on how you could stay by my side. You can rest assured that no matter how far I walk, I will always take you with me. I just want you to make a decision on what you want to do."

Athena smiled and said, "I am aware of that, rest assured, this is what I want to do. That senior heavenly spirit told me that I do not have to forfeit my tutelage, I will still be the disciple of Master Jing, however, Master herself said that she would like to take on the position of the second master."

Yang Dao nodded, "I do not understand how all this works. As long as you have someone sitting as a master in your heart, they will be your master." in a calm voice.

Athena asked, "Dao, how are you so wise?"

The boy held his chin and after some thoughts, he said, "It should be because of my parent's gene."

Athena could not help but laugh and the two people began to chase and tease each other. Before long it was time for Athena to leave, she suddenly hugged Yang Dao and whispered in his mind, "Let me give you a parting gift."

Yang Dao replied okay, and then he felt a warm flutter on his lips. When he realized what happened Athena had already run away from the spot and was now bidding farewell to the people in the pavilion. However, the boy stood on his spot in a daze. He did not react until Athena waved at him before she walked away.

Dao Yin walked over and asked, "Are you okay?" her tone was calm and gentle.

Yang Dao nodded and the girl took the initiative to hold hands with him. After a long time when his friends made sure that the dao child was fine, they moved away. The boy sat down in the pavilion with Dao Yin.

He asked, "Yin, do you also have to go back to the demon realm?"

Dao Yin nodded and said, "That was what the envoy said, no? To learn from the exchanges and grow stronger?"

The boy sighed and asked, "Five years. Although they say that time flicks away soon, still it is too much to tolerate, sometimes is it not?"

Dao Yin nodded, she said, "Is there really no other way to be with each other?"

Suddenly the two children looked at each other and they both took out their swords, they chuckled and exchanged their swords. Dao Yin said, "You take care of Ash."

Yang Dao said, "You also look after Plume."

The two stood up from their position and began practicing their sword skills. Alisha was watching all this from a distance. She could not believe the scene in front of her eyes. The two people were in sync with each other yet their auras and slashes were opposite.

While Yang Dao was decisive, Dao Yin was gentle. However, while Yang Dao was cautious, Dao Yin was destructive. It was as if the world was displaying the harmony of the two opposite elements coming together to work. Unknown to even herself she has fallen into a state of enlightenment. When she wakes up, her level will be unprecedented.

This could be said to Yang Dao's payment to her, for taking care of him all this while. She was not the only one gaining something heavenly, even the elders watching over this place from the shadows were improving. They all were inside a state of selflessness.

As the two people practiced more, a vague trigram sign began to condense behind them. The spiritual energy of the world was responding to their movements and the two children were lost in the state of practice. Being in close proximity with each other at this moment will make them fall into a state of an epiphany.

The people could not comprehend what was happening with the two children they were just focused on their own gains at the moment.

No one knew when they woke up. They only remember a sound lingering in the surroundings. Sun Eckhart said, "The is the sound of Dao Resonance."

Baracus nodded, the two people then cast a gaze at the pavilion where Yang Dao and Dao Yin were sitting back to back. Their swords were levitating in the void, revolving around them slowly, emitting a low sound. This sound was what Sun Eckhart called to be the Dao Resonance.

...

After one whole day when the two children opened their eyes, they took back their swords. While Yang Dao now carried a black sheath around his waist, Dao Yin wore a white one. The boy said, "We will meet soon, Yin."

Dao Yin nodded with a smile and said, "I will wait for that day, Yang."

That said the two of them exchanged a hug, at this moment, the world seem to have burst into the spring season. The flowers bloomed all of a sudden, and the birds began to chirp. The elders could not help but think that the world was perfect and that it should not freeze in this one moment.

The two had a hefty breakfast and then Yang Dao brought Dao Yin back to the elder hall, where Baracus took the girl back to the Demon Realm with him. Sun Eckhart wanted to say something, when Yang Dao said, "I am going into seclusion for a week, when I come back, I will begin touring the region."

The master of the sect could only nod. Yang Dao did not want to waste his time anymore, he had a goal. That was to reach at least the peak of the Immortal soul realm within these five years.

...

Inside the Heavenly Dao Palace, a white tiger appeared with a girl beside it. In a blink, the white tiger turned into the graceful figure of Laohu Bai. She said, "Athena, come, you have some things to catch up to."

Athena nodded and followed Laohu Bai, who began to tell her about her origin and the origin of this place. The more Athena heard the more she was shocked. Soon, they came to a place where the three familiars were having tea, and behind them stood three beautiful girls.

Laohu Bai said, "These three are the other three heavenly spirits. The vermillion phoenix, the azure dragon, and the black turtle. Behind them stand your kin, the dao enforcers, Kiya, Lisa, and Mika. They were the chosen three who gave up their everything to stay close to their young master."

Athena bowed to them all in greeting and they all showed her their best smiles. Athena was hesitating about asking something when a wise voice sounded, "Child do not hesitate, ask what is it that troubles you?"

Athena bowed and asked, "Senior, I do not yet know, who is the young master."

The people all chuckled after a momentary silence. Laohu Bai said, "Yang Dao, the Yang incarnation of the Heavenly Dao."

At this moment, Athena was shell-shocked. She did not expect a curveball at this time. Even though she had no idea of baseball, the situation was no less than that to her. Mika said, "Master, how about we integrate her. She is our age. Well, since we cannot grow here until Dao arrives. So we will be better guides."

Laohu Bai waved her hand and said, "Do what you must, but dare I find anyone slacking in practice, you will have a good one from me."

Lisa bowed and said, "I will make sure we do not slack, Master."

Feng Yun smiled at Athena and said, "Do not worry, you will understand what is going on."

Then the phoenix turned her head to look outside the window and said, "Looks like they both have set some goals for themselves."
