BXBX NOVEL Chapter 443 - Ascended.
YanG Dao had left the Dao Courtyard mansion and came to the Dao Island on his own. He stood at the center of the island, letting the wind caress his body. He was enjoying the silence and serenity of the place.
He did not know what sort of place awaited him. What challenges he might have to face. However, he was sure that this place, he will not be visiting in a long time. He said, "You took tome to get here, Eldest."
Behind Yang Dao, an old man draped in a black robe appeared. He said, "I apologize Master."
Yang Dao shook his head and said, "It is fine. So, can you do what I asked you to?"
Atsuji Kurogame sighed and said, "Master, you will not be able to release all your powers until you have reached the age of eighteen if I cast the seal upon you."
Yang Dao nodded and said, "I can manipulate the gates of life and death now. I can enter the cycle of reincarnation on my own. But the time seal, that is something only you can do. My comprehension of the time seal is not that good."
Atsuji Kurogame asked, "Master, please allow me to ask you a question."
Yang Dao nodded and the old man asked, "Why do you wish to do this?"
The boy chuckled, "I did not experience the affection of my parents. Sister tina was like a mother to me but the mortal heart inside me still craves for a mother, father, and family. Until I cannot give up on the regrets and emotions, I cannot grow to be the one true Dao Child."
Atsuji Kurogame smiled slightly and said, "Very well then. I shall place a time seal on your powers. The rest, you can do when you walk through the gates of life and death."
Yang Dao nodded and said, "Get over with it. Also, please visit Dao Yin after this. She needs help as well."
Atsuji Kurogame sighed and nodded. He wanted to say, \'Master, that is very tricky\' but he did not say it after all the master was the master.
He held his two hands together and cast a seal. Then he began to chant something. Soon the powers inside Yang Dao slowly regressed. After a few minutes, Atsuji Kurogame said, "Master, I cannot seal your powers properly. Your elements have regressed to grade three and your laws have been sealed to the basic, except for the laws of life and death. After you step through the cycle of reincarnation they will be sealed as well."
The young man nodded with a smile and said, "So long, eldest. Tell the rest, I will miss them."
Atsuji Kurogame knelt and said, "Farewell, Master. Until next time."
Yang Dao smiled and with a wave of his hand tore open the void in front of him. He did not have much time left as the law comprehension in his mind was being sealed slowly. The place he stood was not the void but the space. The endless stars surrounded him.
Yang Dao sighed at the beauty and chanted something. After a few minutes, a golden portal opened over his head. The young man was sucked inside the portal. On the other side of the portal, it looked like a river of stars flowing in different directions. Like branches of a tree.
After falling inside the river of stars, Yang Dao\'s body began to change. It was age regression. From a young adult to a teenager and as he traveled in the river of stars, he became a toddler and after a few moments, only his primordial soul was left.
The primordial soul was no bigger than a mung bean. It became one with the river of stars, unable to be found again. Despite losing his body, Yang Dao still had his memories. It was only at the last moment, the boy decided to keep only the knowledge with him as for the rest of the memories, he only left a few words in his memories, "The truth will unveil when the time is ripe."
...
Something similar was taking place in the mirror world. Dao Yin had done the same thing as Yang Dao after they both discussed the Dao Space. She was surprised when Atsuji Kurogame appeared in front of her. She did not know how he did that but she was aware that the prowess of the familiars was too high for them to understand at the moment.
This power was not the power of elements but the mysteries of laws. Atsuji Kurogame waved his hand and let the lady\'s prowess be sealed. After she vanished from his sight, he sighed and returned to Liro.
...
Feng Yun, Laohu Bai, and Ryu Jinshi stood with, Sushi, Amber, the two leopards, and three girls. They were only waiting for Atsuji Kurogame. In front of them stood five people. They were all their disciples. Ryu Jinshi said, "We may be away but we are never gone. If it is discovered that you all are having infighting or you are the reason for the imbalance in the world. I will activate the seals inside you all."
This was his trick to scare them all. They did not place any seals inside them but they left spirit marks inside them to monitor their actions and guide them if need be. The five people bowed and nodded with sincere eyes. They were all those who had none to rely on, so the teachings of their masters were everything for them. So, how can they make things go south?
Feng Yun had willed all her property to Yang Dao back then and the boy intern had made a will before leaving. The will stated that everything that was leftover after the salary distribution will be donated to the needy. Of course, the funds were all left for RALF to channel.
The void trembled all of a sudden and Atsuji Kurogame appeared. He looked at the people and said, "Master has ascended."
The people nodded. They imparted the last few words to the people and told them that they can keep in touch with them through the spirit marks, and the void was split over. The people vanished after stepping inside the tunnels. Laohu Bai had left her elite team as the caretaker of the children until they grew up. Lin was to look after the twins because they knew Yang Dao.
...
The universe was like a stack of paper. and above the realm of mortals, resided a place called the realm of Immortal cultivators.
This realm was five times bigger than the mortal realm with countless planets inhabited with life. The inhabitants were not only humans but a lot of other people. Yang Dao\'s soul did not know after how much time it gained partial consciousness.
The boy could make out some words and movements around him but he could not tell what they meant. He could not open his eyes, and could not move around much. One thing that he liked was the warmth in this place. He was content with all this.
He found a lot of knowledge in his mind but whenever he thought about where the knowledge came from the quote \'you will know when the time is right\' rang out in his mind. He did not know for how long he was embraced in the warmth before he suddenly sensed a strong push.
...
The immortal realm had a lot of planets, but there was a special planet that was called the Spirit Evergarden.
This planet was the holy land of cultivators, ruled by one of the strongest human race families, the Yang family. The Yang family was said to have inherited the ways and the essence of the sun. They lived in a palace, built on the banks of Jade Lake. The palace looked as if something out of a fairy tale.
The place was surrounded by a lush green garden and many beautiful flowers bloomed in the gardens as a flock of butterflies and birds flew around. There was a wall surrounding the palace, and a few guards could be seen patrolling over.
Despite the beauty of the place, the atmosphere was laced with strong depression. Inside the palace, all the men were gathered in a huge hall. There were at least fifty males gathered inside. The age ranged from teenagers to an old relic with a beard so long that it was reaching his knees. A middle-aged man could be seen walking to and fro in the center of the hall and he was anxious to the limit.
The old relic sighed and said, "Calm down, will you? You are making me anxious."
The middle-aged man said, "Third grandfather..."
The old man raised his eyebrow making the middle-aged man calm down.
...
In a luxurious big bedroom, a lady had just finished, what seemed to be the biggest ordeal of her life. She looked around the rest of the ladies in the room and asked, "What happened, is my child okay?"
An aged lady stepped forward, in her arms lay a baby, wrapped in silky emerald cloth. She smiled and said, "Lady, you have been blessed by a beautiful baby boy."
The beautiful lady on the bed smiled, she had sweat all over her but the moment she heard this, her exhaustion from the labor seemed to have vanished. The room door was pushed open and an anxious middle-aged man rushed inside as he asked, "How are they? Why did I not hear any cries?"
The wet nurse said, "Lord Yang, the young master is safe and so is the lady. Your child is blessed with a strong spirit and intelligence."
That was when the man looked over at his wife who was looking at the baby in her hands. When he saw the baby\'s face, he smiled. The baby was looking around with great curiosity and would smile every time he looked at his mother. The lady said, "Shan, is he smiling at me?"
Yang Shan was the name of the middle-aged man. He replied, "That is what it looks like, Ling."
An old voice sounded, "Brat move aside, let me look at my grandson." an old lady walked over and stood near Ling. She smiled at the baby boy\'s eyes and the child returned her gaze with his shining black eyes. The old lady said, "This little one has eyes as deep as the Dao. Let us name him, Yang Dao."
So, the second life of Yang Dao began.
