Heavenly Dao Child 247 Imperial Spirit Lake

Joseph sighed as he massaged his temples after working so hard he and his sister have finally stepped into the vaunted Primal Daoist realm just last week, it had send a sensation throughout the city, after all who amongst all of the clans could claim they have twin cultivators who have managed to step into Primal Daoist realm before their 45th Birthday, but then came another problem betrothal contacts for both of them power hungry worthless beings vying for their hands in order to increase their nonexistent pride and prestige.

He gave of a sigh as he drank wine from the saucer in his hand the chilled liquid descended his throat leaving a slight burn as his tongue tasted a bit bitter.

"Brother you seem to be a bit frustrated.", came a voice from behind him, as he turned he found the smiling visage of Jaclyn her sister he offered her a drink she nodded as she sat beside her as he spoke "You know very well know why I am frustrated all those betrothal contracts.", he finished with a growl.

Jaclyn picked up the saucer filled by his brother as she spoke, "Leeches the lots of them, I hate those idiots so much I cannot even step out of the clan compound without anyone vying for my hand, sometimes I wish to simply run away from here."

Joseph winced as he spoke, "You are right sister, compare to me you also have to worry about our dearest uncle marrying you off for political reasons."

Jaclyn sighed at that before Joseph spoke with an excited tone, "Hey sis what if we run away for a while, say let us tell everyone we are off exploring some ruins something like that what do you say."

As Jaclyn pondered on those words she drank from the saucer in her hands before she spoke, "mmm I like it spiced wine my favorite, and brother your proposal is not wrong but where should we go?"

Joseph shrugged at that as he spoke, "No idea but I think mother and father might help us."

Jaclyn, "I do not think so, they just left to find our 'baby' brother once again, ugh it is frustrating running around like that for someone they might never find not to mention he might never even consider them his family."

Joseph nodded as he spoke, "So true there is also a chance he might be a crook by now and would love to leech off of our family's fortune."

Jaclyn chuckled at that before she spoke, "Oh before they left mother and father gave a picture as a reward, something from the vault, look here.", she took out a picture of a woman from her space ring a large portrait of a woman to be exact, "Now watch carefully brother."

As she moved the picture the face of the person seemed to change as well, once it looked like a stoic face, which then changed to an angry face, which again changed to a happy face, Joseph whistled at that as he spoke to Jaclyn, "It is nice picture but I d…"

His words stuck in his throat as he looked at wide eyes, "What is this thing where did the lady in the portrait go."

Jaclyn smirked as she put the portrait back inside her space ring as she spoke, "Well she did not go anywhere, she only appears for a few seconds and if the person watching her starts mediating while focusing their attention on her the picture will stay for more period of time, not only that it also increases a person's cultivation speed as well as on higher stages of cultivation it also effects the cultivation of the soul of a person."

Joseph's eyes widen at that as he spoke with clear admiration in his voice, "Whose portrait is this?"

Jaclyn, "This portrait is…"

"Achooo!!! Achooo!!!!!!!", a person wearing fur coat sneezed for the nth time as he moved through a snow covered place.

"Brother are you alright I hope you have not caught the cold because of cold weather of this place."

Ryuu shook his head as he spoke, "Nope I am fine, infact I am more than fine the fur coat given to be by teacher is super comfortable and pleasantly warm, ahh it is so relaxing."

Antariskh frowned as she placed her hand on his forehead as she spoke, "Well it seems you really are not sick, for a moment I thought you caught the cold by how much you were sneezing."

Ryuu frowned as he spoke, "I do not know why but I felt as if a pair of colossal idiots was saying something behind my back, and the sudden urge wished to skewer them was immense."

Antariskh shrugged as she simply patted his back as they continued on their current flight path, Ryuu looked down as he grimaced at what he saw frozen bodies of people lying around on the ground.

Shamiran who was flying beside him mused at that as she spoke, "Must have been caught in a blizzard, which caused them to flash freeze."

Sylvana: "Well look over there another one is coming, it might not even manage to give us the chills but for Ryuu even after all the protection he has on him, it would be a tad bit uncomfortable and we are nearly there so move faster."

The group moved fast with Ryuu barely managed to keep up with them, as they entered the cave Sylvana used an array to completely seal of the mouth of the cave off, no sooner did she accomplish her task that the blizzard hit full force, she then turned towards Shamiran as she spoke, "Sister it is your turn now."

Shamiran nodded as Antariskh took out a vial filled with strange liquid which she threw in front of as it let a blue gas to be released from it, as Sylvana raised another barrier in front of them.

They did not have to wait any longer as various animals came out from within depths of the cave clawing and screaming at the barrier that separated them from the others, during the entire time Shamiran stood motionlessly with her eyes closed, meanwhile Ryuu watched the entire proceeding curiously suddenly Shamiran opened her eyes as she stepped forward as Antariksh pulled Ryuu back just behind her as she spoke, "Ryuu since all the animals taking shelter in this cave are here already Shamiran is going to perform a very devastating attack, may be one day you might learn from her but now watch it clearly."

Ryuu nodded as he watched Shamiran puffed her cheeks before she breathed out a sickly greenish black smoke which moved tremendously fast engulfing the creatures on the other side of the barrier, suddenly all the noises came to a halt a few seconds later Shamirna withdrew the cloud as she spoke with smile, "So what do you think of my attack Ryuu."

Ryuu frowned as he so a mass of molten object even the wall of the cave seemed to be melted a bit, 'was it like that before the barrier was erected' he then spoke unsurely with a frown, "It seems like everything has melted."

Shamiran, "Your observation is as astute as ever, yes it has melted, in fact I melted every creature that was present inside the cave that was lured into a group by Antariskh's bait, you see that pile of melted goo on the floor that was what remained of them after I am done with them, and Ryuu if you manage to gain the Grandmaster realm in the Grand Dao of Alchemy I will teach you this technique of mine it is really handy when you have to deal with multiple opponents like this one."

Ryuu nodded dumbly at that, his sisters had with the permission of his teachers had brought him to this horrible cold place, the entire place is a hidden place where the temperatures drops to such severe level even a Golden Immortal will freeze with a few minutes, yet a few indigenous creatures managed to survive here, and now after being dragged to inside of a cave he found himself standing in front of a lake of pure milk which gave of smell of roses of all things.

Ryuu frowned as he spoke, "Sister if I am not wrong is this the fabled 'Imperial Spirit Lake'?"

Antariskh nodded at that as she spoke, "Yes it is, one of the very important think that Heaven gifts us, and to many people it may seem as a curse because staying too close to one might cause one to become insane and if someone drinks or jumps in it causes one to die, but as I said it is blessing for any person who had God Tiered Divine Body, for people like us it is the greatest blessing now strip and jump into it."

Ryuu suddenly pointed out towards her as he her, "By 'Us', do you mean you too have?"

Antariskh nodded as she spoke, "Yes now Ryuu do as I say and do not worry an 'Imperial Spirit Lake is always comfortably warm in fact you might enjoy it, just move to the middle of the lake dive down in it then start meditating once when you have absorbed all of its essence turning it to mere water will you step out and oh you have to be naked."

Ryuu shrugged as he stripped of his clothes as he stepped into the lake, 'His masters had always taught him, that there might come a day when an assassin will find his way when you are bathing so will he stop if tell him that you are naked' as such they made sure even he was caught naked he would not be embarrassed enough so that he might not be able to fight.
