Heavenly Dao Child

"Teacher is there no other way."

Celestia looked at the tired and pain-filled face of Ryuu as she spoke, "Yes there are various alternative means but all of them are not as great as this one, not only some of them are extremely slow but the result is equally unimpressive and inefficient, so grit your teeth and complete another cycle of that technique for me."

Ryuu looked alarmed at that as immediately spoke with a horrified look on his face, "But…."

Celestia gave a stern gaze to him as she spoke, "No buts dear you have still a hundred cycles to complete and I will make you complete it by today, and if you are feeling shy doing it on your own then please tell me I will lend my hand."

That made Ryuu quickly start working on the technique with renews vigour, it hurt him when he practised the technique badly but getting her involved would make him hurt even more as such he chose the alternative.

As he recalled the memory he smiled a bit, he seriously missed them and sometimes wished he had not stepped inside Eden and the painful throb of his left hand seemed to agree with him.

'I think I should cultivate my soul a bit, it had been some time since I did it.'

He then closed his eyes as he found himself standing in front of a bright yellowish orb shining brightly as golden-coloured flames surrounded it burning with intensity, he braced himself before with great strength he mashed the orb apart to pieces as its contents flowed out of it, like the contents of an egg that has been broken, and he did not wait further as he quickly began to knead it together to form yet another orb.

The entire process looked painful, every time he touched the orb even though he was unable to touch him physically he felt as if thousands upon thousands of ants biting at him drilling through his body but he would not falter, he continued doing it again and again and soon he fell in a trance as he became slowly numbed to the pain.

Ryuu was jolted awake from the trance when he found himself flung from his initial position near his soul, as he looked at it his eyes widen, 'Wow so beautiful.'

What mesmerized him was the large white orb that sparkled like a diamond and with white-hot flames surrounding it, it was breathtakingly beautiful, then he realized something that made him panic slightly, 'Wait a minute should I not move from Yellow to Yellowish-white not jump directly to Pure White stage how long have I been staying here and cultivating.'

Frost Flames took a seat beside as she let out a sigh, it had been a month since Ryuu suddenly went into deep meditation, and then the reaction of many made her want to laugh aloud, after all as long as they have known Ryuu he always slept while claiming to be meditating and then all of a sudden one day they found him in deep meditation.

Many including Zywia had at first thought he was once again faking it, but then when some of them dared to approach him they found themselves forcibly flung away from Ryuu because of various arrays that he had placed around it.

'Some array it is, some of them even claimed that Celestial would have difficulty in dealing with them, and then it happened.'

She looked at the wall of dirt that separated them from Ryuu a wall of dirt that had been placed there hastily erected upon the frantic urging of Zywia, she still remembered the day that happened a month ago as if it too place momentarily.

Zywia looked at the meditating form of Ryuu with her jaw wide open as Frost Flames spoke with a teasing tone to her, "Zywia, it is unbecoming of a lady to open her mouth wide enough for an entire cavern might fit in."

Zywia closed her mouth with a click as she spoke annoyance in her voice, "Hey it is not my fault that he sudden…..", whatever she was going say she stopped as her face morphed with a look of horror in them as she let out a string of curses.

Many were taken aback by her behaviour normally Zywia acted a bit brash sometimes but never had she seen her curse in such a way and look afraid, she then turned to look towards Ryuu as she frowned upon seeing his face rippling a bit as it slowly became more and more handsome.

A pulse of power brought her out of her glazed state as a distressed Zywia was shouting out orders to them, "Put up a wall to block him from our view NOW!"

Daniella looked taken aback as did many others as she spoke, "Zywia why are you acting as such?"

"There is no time if you do not block him from our view, you all fall completely entranced by his looks and you will end up like lovesick puppies with a sick obsession about him, do you WANT THAT? If not hurry up fast."

Zywia did not have to say anything as Frozen Ocean, moved her hand as water curtain of water rose to obscure the view, while Frost Flames froze it, they looked at each other with their face flushed and heart beating an incredibly fast.

Frozen Ocean looked towards the now wall of ice that separated Ryuu as she spoke trying to regain her calm, "When that blithering idiot awakes from his meditation I am going to have some stern talking about what and what one should not do while meditating surely he has some sense not to lose control of his powers like that."

As she turned towards others she saw many of the cultivators especially female looking with slight blushes on their face as one of them spoke, "He is not bad looking I do not see the need to cover him from our view."

Zywia snarled as she spoke, "Sister that was him when he was solely losing control of his looks, Ryuu is so devastatingly handsome that he uses skills to tone down his looks otherwise you would get completely entranced with him, I have heard once when he was younger he had wandered into a village with covering his real face, and the villagers saw him, it was a disaster they killed each other off to reduce competition, fathers turned on their daughters, mothers turned on their sons and the whole ended up in a war zone within minutes, so please do not I repeat do not try to see his real face if you do not wish to be completely enamoured and obsessed with him like those villagers."

Frost Flames knew that many were interested and would like to take a peak, including herself but she held herself back she had seen firsthand a glimpse of it from the statue back in the maze, and just the thought made her blush like a teenager but most importantly the felt insignificant in front of Ryuu, 'No that cannot be, I like him, and I would like to explore my feelings, and I do not want him to think I am after him just because of his looks.'

A loud crack brought her out of her musing as she stood up and looked towards the Ice wall that was about to fall off, 'Did Ryuu wake up from his meditation? Wait what if he has forgotten reign in his looks, I do not want some competition.'

"Brother Ryuu stop, please cover your face or use the technique you used to hide your real face, we were forced to erect the ice wall to protect us from getting enchanted by your looks."

Ryuu stopped as he listens Frost Flames speaking from the other side of the already crumbling wall of ice, 'Damn it my control seemed to have slipped while I was cultivating my soul, what kind of an idiot I am I should have worn the mask.', he closed his eyes briefly as he quickly engaged his technique as his face returned to the one that he generally showed outside his family.

As the ice wall collapsed he was greeted by the smiling face of Frost Flames who gave him a slight back as she spoke, "Welcome back."

Her words warmed his heart as he replied, "It is nice to be back, and so how long was I meditating?"

"You were meditating a little over a month."

Ryuu rubbed his chin at that before he spoke with a sigh, "Did anything interesting happen during this time?"

Frost Flames nodded as she spoke, "Why don't I escort you to others while I update you with the recent news."

Ryuu nodded in acceptance as he began to walk beside her, while Frost Flames had decided to speak with a sigh, "The Preta Lok seemed to have come across a large city made up of stone, which was occupied by the indigenous species who were attacked and dealt off by them and now they are busy tearing the city apart stone by stone for any secrets that were hidden, bother True-Spear has found another place for us to move on to, with the majority favouring it we are ready to migrate there, we were just waiting for you to wake up from your meditation."

Ryuu gave a small smile as he spoke, "Sorry for making you all wait for me."

Frost Flames shook her head as she spoke, "No it is fine Ryuu, we are cultivators and we understand the need of cultivating sometimes, but pardon my rude behaviour but what were you cultivating you are already on the peak of Mystic Immortal Emperor, you know if you try moving to Celestial Level you would die in Eden."

'Pfft, me a 'Peak Mystic Immortal Emperor', if only they knew that I am nowhere near the Peak, but I appreciate her concern.'

"I was cultivating my soul."

"Really brother Ryuu so were you successful?"

Ryuu turned towards Zywia as he spoke with a small nod, "Of course I was successful and also I wish to apologize for forgetting about wearing my mask and losing control."

Zywia simply nodded when all of a sudden a cultivator spoke with distress, "What do you mean you were cultivating your soul? Cultivating one's soul is evil."

Both Zywia and Ryuu looked at the speaker as if he had grown a second head while many amongst them were distressed a bit about hearing that and seeing their looks both Zywia and Ryuu wanted to scoff at their ignorance.

Ryuu looked towards Zywia who simply shrugged as he began with a sigh, "Who told you that cultivating soul is evil?"

"Every cultivator who follows the demonic path have to cultivate their soul."

Ryuu looked at him with narrowed as he spoke, "Just like they follow KI refining and Body refining path, so that means that those paths are also evil?"

The man scoffed at that as he spoke, "Of course not their path of cultivation always require sacrificing someone to advance themselves, and when they cultivate their souls they follow a similar pattern as such they are considered evil, I did not sacrifice someone so how is it evil."

Zywia seeing the uncertainty in the person's eyes decided to deliver the final blow, "I understand that you are sceptical about it but remember the soul is a vital part of our body and like how you have to refine ourselves to shed our mortal bindings to become cultivators without cultivating your soul you would not advance much further."

"What do you mean?", a question came from their side as by then a small crowd formed listening to them intently.

As Zywia continued her speech, "Well if you do not cultivate your soul it would get so difficult to advance beyond a Level 1 Celestial that it would seem impossible, and you should simply forget getting beyond Celestial, because you will never be able to, just like our body our soul is also needed to be shed off from the mortal bindings."

"So if we start cultivating our soul now we can move faster through the Celestial realm and even move beyond it."

Ryuu shook his head as he spoke, "Cultivating your soul is not easy it takes time, a great amount of time you have to do it slowly and carefully and given that you have not started cultivating it would take a lot of time and id it mentions it is very painful."

At the word 'pain', both Zywia and Ryuu visibly shuddered as they recalled their experience with cultivating their soul, but before anyone could say anything they were interrupted by a shout as a cultivator stumbled into their cavern with clear distress in his voice.

"Daoist Brother Ryuu you have to help us, someone by the name of Devil Emperor Zikris has caught a few of us and are keeping them, hostage, he is asking for you, and he also threatens that for every half an hour deal he is going to kill them one by one."

Ryuu's eyes widen as he spoke with a snarl, "Show me where that mongrel is."

The injured cultivator nodded as many decided to follow him as True-Spear spoke, "Brother Ryuu since he is after you try to distract him, while we rescue the hostages."

Ryuu nodded at that as he spoke, "Sound idea, let us move fast they are in danger."
