Heavenly Dao Child 242 ?????????? Part-1

Ryuu sighed as he sat on the banks of a pond watching the fish playing as he lazily dipped his legs inside it and sometimes even threw small pieces of fish food into the pond, this place had always managed to not only make him relax but it also enabled him spend some time to ponder as well as. It had been a few months since he had arrived from the banquet then a couple of days later he had witnessed the arrival of his eldest sister, she seemed to be in a bit of hurry and as such did not even acknowledge him, then a few moments later the ground shook as he felt a suffocating aura before it disappeared completely he knew what had caused it, he knew it was the aftermath of his eldest sister's anger and before long she had visited him as she gave him a bone crushing hug after which they spend the entire day together just like they did when he was young.

After the sudden outburst from his sister that Ryuu knew that something was wrong, from all the time he had spend with them he knew amongst all his sisters Antariskh was always the blunt one, if she did not like something she will straight out say it, as such a worried Ryuu had tried to pry from his masters the reason of her outburst but they skirted away from his questions stating it was something related to business which had made her angry, Ryuu knew if his masters did not want to say anything they will not say it no matter how much he pleads, well accept his 3rd mistress who would relish the sight of him pleading, not only that but he did not have the right as such he had to satiate his curiosity by whatever his masters fed him.

Among all the events the one that stood out the most was the fact that he had finally managed to reach Peak Level Void Immortal level, or in other words he was finally a rank 13th Void Immortal level cultivator a bit different from others since unlike him their peak was at rank 9th Void Immortal Level, and he had finally reached the summit just yesterday a couple of weeks sigh of the day of his birth. As he fed the fishes he spoke to himself in a whisper his voice having a touch of sadness in them, "Mom will you be proud of me?"

"Ah there you are brother, what are you doing?", a voice came from behind him causing him to turn as he smiled at the newcomer while he spoke, "Nothing Big sister I was simply feeding the fish."

Shamiran simply sat by his side in silence for a few minutes as she spoke, "Your mother would have been filled with pride if she had seen you now."

Ryuu's eyes widen at that as Shamiran kept speaking, "You know sometimes I envy you."

Ryuu frowned at that as he spoke, "Envy me?"

Shamiran nodded as she spoke while staring towards the pond, "Yes I envy you Ryuu, your teachers are not my birth parents."

Ryuu: "What? What do you mean by that?"

Shamiran gave a melancholic smiled as she spoke, "My parents I do not remember much about them at all, as I was so young when they were murdered, even my siblings but fortunately for me your masters were friends with my birthparents they were able to save me, then adopted me as their children and raised me, made me what I am, I always thought them to be my birthparents but when I learned the truth I had asked them the same question as you were asking yourself, 'Will my parents be proud with me.' Do you know what they said?"

Ryuu shook his head, as Shamiran continued speaking, "No matter what happens, a parent who loved their children no matter what, is always proud of them."

Ryuu's eyes widen at that as he gave a small smile as he spoke, "Thank you big sister."

Shamiran simply leaned and rested her head on his shoulder as she spoke, "I know you feel yourself responsible for your mother and your aunt's death, but one day when you will have a family of your own you will understand the reason about why they did, what they did, after all a person may possess a treasure so precious that they are willing to fight the entire world just for the sake of their treasure, no matter the challenge or hardship they will do so with a smile on their face, even give up their own life for their precious treasure, and you Ryuu are your mother and your aunt's greatest treasure, someone for whom she would die a million times with a smile on their face, because they loved you with everything they had. We may not be able to compete with your mother nor do we wish to do so but I, our sisters and even our parents to all of us you are our invaluable treasure, you are our family as such no matter what happens we will be always by your side, even if the whole world becomes your enemy we will be by your side, that is something that I, Shamiran, your big sister's promise."

Ryuu was stunned hearing her confession before he simply hugged her as he spoke, "Thank you, thank you", over and over again as Shamiran felt her shoulder getting wet she simply returned the hug as she slowly patted his back. What she said was meant for her more than Ryuu, the thought that one of them betrayed Ryuu just like Pangu sickened her, even her mothers were shaken by it.

Normally the daily affair of Ryuu's life nowadays usually ended with the whole 'family' dinner, even if his teachers and older sisters could survive eons with no food and water but they found it no need to do so as why waste energy in some frivolous activities, also it was a fun for the whole family to be gather together like, a gathering where they all spoke on various matters ranging from stories to battle experience to techniques which Ryuu usually soaked like a sponge trying to learn from others' experience but today was slightly different as it was more of a celebratory feast for Ryuu reaching the peak of Void Immortal level.

As they finished they had nearly finished with their dinner, Ryuu spoke, "So teacher how will I know when my tribulation is."

Maheswara: "Well you will know such thing automatically, the phenomenon is called the 'Herald of the Heavens', as you would instinctively know the date, the time even down to the last second when your tribulation would start."

Ryuu nodded at that as Veena spoke, "Do not worry child we have already prepared an area for your tribulation."

Ryuu graced her with a small smile, as they spoke on various topics Sylvana was retelling a story from her young days, "….and so the man left the place dressed like a clown, and as he walked with each stepped the sound of a duck quacking came."

Ryuu laughed at that as tears appeared in his eyes as he whizzed trying to breath, he really liked this atmosphere around it and wished for it to never to change when all of a sudden he went ramrod as his eyes glazed, the people around him had their undivided attention as they watched him with their breath held, after a few seconds which seemed like a eternity, Ryuu spoke with disbelief, "My Tribulation is three days from now."

Maheswara let out a small curse as he spoke, "Do not worry child the preparations are complete we will leave today during the evening for that place.", before he turned towards his wives as he spoke, "Love prepare and check every necessary items required, till then I along with Antariskh will do some inspection at the sight and wait for your arrival."

With that the duo left as Ryuu spoke with a frown, "So soon, will I be ready for it, I just reached the peak of the realm yesterday late night."

Nuwa gave a motherly smile as she spoke, "Do not worry child, we have been preparing you for this since the first time you started cultivating under us, as such we have complete trust that you will pass the entire thing with a smile."

Veena: "We may not be able to help you directly but that does not mean we will not prepare something to aide you during your tribulation."

Celestia: "Do not be nervous child after all a couple of days later we will be celebrating your ascension to Immortality."

Even his remaining sisters gave him an encouraging and reassuring smile at that.
