Heavenly Dao Child 348 Gathering of the Strong Part-2

"Hello everyone for those who do not know my Dao name is 'Three-Lives', we all have gathered around here in order to find the gateway to the next level", a tall man with long black hair flowing past his shoulders spoke as h looked towards everyone with his coal black eyes, his white robes making him look a bit sanctimonious as he continued, "Recently our fellow Daoists have stumbled upon residents of this planet and for those who do not know about much I would like to invite fellow Daoist Ryuu to say something."

Ryuu was taken aback by being suddenly invited to speak as such he cleared his throat as he looked at a few thousand strong cultivators who were listening intently waiting for him to speak, "Greetings fellow cultivators and before I begin I would like to thank our esteemed brother 'Three-Lives' for this opportunity but before I begin I would like to say that this place, this world", with that he spread his hands indicating the surrounding area as he continued, "Is not a planet but a cage."

A murmur ran through the crowd as he swept his eyes he saw many emotions running through the crowd from disbelief, to outrage, to laughter, to boredom…. Wait what he did a double take as he watched a woman casting a bored look towards him, causing him to tilt his head slightly at that, 'interesting.'

"I know many may not believe me but please try going up you will soon meet a barrier, and then try going to any other direction you will come across the end of the world, yes end of this world, just like a saucer which is over flowing you will find ocean falling to the abyss.", he gave a dramatic pause as he continued, "I know that many of you do not believe me so please feel free to check what I just said to you but after the meeting is dismissed I so do not want to be accused of disruption on another note the boundary of the cage is lethal so please be careful when playing with the boundary.", as Ryuu spoke he wondered inwardly, 'Damn I am casually speaking to all this people if I were the old me from my previous life I would have fainted since when have I conquered my fear of stage I never noticed.'

"Many of you do not know but a few of our fellow Daoist brothers and sisters along with me were involved in a civil…."

The meeting about what their next step would be went on and on as various strategies was discussed, while Ryuu calmly took a sip of wine as his mind went back to the meeting with a certain Emperor.

"Lady Zywia and Lord Ryuu please take a seat.", Emperor Aquor spoke in a stoic manner although he did not say much but Ryuu could see the gratitude behind the tired and weary eyes of the Emperor.

As they both took their respective seat Emperor Aqour began speaking with a sigh, "Lord Ryuu we do not know how much this might help you in your quest but our Royal Historian has found something that might interest you."

As he spoke a bluish colored person swam forward as he bowed to the Emperor, from what Ryuu saw the person was very well past his prime, he bowed as a dozen more brought along with them stone tablets which they placed as the Emperor nodded the person began with his aged voice explaining in great details about its contents.

As the person droned on and on Ryuu felt his will power being tested as the person's voice was terrific enough to make him fall asleep, yet he held strong with great force.

After a almost an hour of reading from the stone tablets, both Ryuu and Zywia were frustrated as the person had yet to say anything of real significance when all of a sudden he spoke, "Well from this we can conclude that the answer will lie in the 'Grand Caves of Enlightenment.'"

Both Zywia and Ryuu had the sudden urge to throw their shoes and beat him to an inch of his life after prattling for over an hour the information he gave could have been easily given to them without wasting their time, both of them gritted their teeth in anger, before they let out a sigh.

Ryuu turned towards the Emperor as he spoke, "Your Majesty if I may inquire where is this 'Grand Caves of Enlightenment'?"

The Emperor sighed as he spoke, "The 'Grand Caves of Enlightenment', are a series of caves inside which our glorious ancestors left behind their knowledge, their wisdom and we still remember the pilgrimage we took to that sacred place but alas the place is now the home of the 'Great One'."

Ryuu looked at the person before he let out a tired sigh as his shoulder slummed for a moment, 'Of course it would be like that, and I should have known already, after all where else would it make its home if not the place where we would the gate would be.'

While was thinking about it the Emperor continued speaking, "Well we can arrange someone to show you the direction but that we cannot help you, and all any answers that you seek we hope that you would be able to find it out there."

Ryuu huffed at present as he watched someone amongst them volunteering for a particular dangerous yet important job, "Are you sure you would be deep within enemy territory.", spoke one of the cultivators with concern.

"There is no need to worry I would easily manage that, if nothing else I simply retreat after all we are not going to war simply scouting.", a hawk eyed, person with a rather long nose spoke with a dazzling smile.

Ryuu looked around as he studied the group of five who were chosen for the task, he sighed upon seeing the distrust leveled upon them, 'It is given many are thinking on the lines if they find the secret doorway and give us the slip and move on to the next level without notifying us but most importantly what kind of treasure they might plunder without us were the thoughts which plagued their minds.'

Zywia leaned towards him as she whispered lowly while Ryuu's fingers twitched a bit as an array appeared which granted them privacy, "So what do you think about the situation so many cultivators, it would be difficult to get any decent treasure."

Ryuu his head as he whispered back to her, "I will only go after treasure if and only if I will know that my life is not in danger, safety first always Zywia most importantly in your case it might sound insulting but there plenty of cultivators who are much higher level than you and even if you claim to be able to fight people many level above you please do not forget there are others like you so be cautious."

Zywia narrowed her eyes as she spoke hotly, "Without risk there is no gain."

Ryuu shook his head as he spoke, "Sister Zywia, you are not even near the peak of our realm as such 10 millennia from now you might have a chance a chance I might not have, I have a goal which I wish to complete, I want to conquer more level than our predecessors did for that I cannot waste time, energy and most importantly my well being on some low level areas."

Zywia scrunched her face in thought before she spoke with a sigh, "You are right but what about the rare and precious resources that are only available here and you should know how important they are for moving to the next realm."

Ryuu's deadpanned stare made her cheeks gain a faint blush as she turned her head while Ryuu began speaking, "Really you are telling that the powers behind us are not well enough to provide us with resources or that they already do not cultivate many of the precious medicinal plants which they had already acquired previously."

As an embarrassed Zywia looked forward Ryuu continued, "I am not saying not to try and get your hands on some rare resource but make sure to avoid unnecessary danger as much as possible no treasure is worthy of our life remember that."

Zywia nodded as she let out a tired sigh, "I understand."

As the privacy array disappeared Zywia found her personal space invaded by Su-Min who spoke with a smirk, "So sister Zywia what were you two love birds discussing."

Zywia groaned at that as Ryuu simply snorted as he gave his attention towards the cultivators who were living for scouting mission before he stood up and went towards them.
