The Urban Dao Child.

Balor was shocked when he heard this, then he asked the disciple, who brought them the news, “Where are they now?”

The disciple said, “Young Master Bai has taken them to the final trial destination.”

Balor stood up straight and said, “We need to stop them. The passage has been sealed. The protection array malfunctioned after the grand elder visited the valley last night.”

The sect master did not wait and waved his hand to move through the space. Sun Eckhart also followed him in a blink. The two people appeared in front of Bai Hu and Alisha. Balor did not even give them the chance to greet him and asked, “Where is Yang Dao?”

Bai Hu pointed his finger at the passage in front of him and said in a low voice, “Inside the passage, he will be back soon.”

Balor snapped, “Who let him go in? Did you all not hear that the passage to the abyss is closed?”

Bai Hu shivered, Balor was not known to lose his patience. However, at this moment, this man was ready to kill everyone in his sight. Bai Hu did not understand what was going on and asked, “Master, what is the matter?”

Balor reigned in his temper and said, “Last night when a grand elder entered the abyss, he comprehended something and invoked his own sword intent. Although he took control and left the place, his sword intent resonated with the intent in the passage and made it volatile. At this time, if anyone went inside the passage, they will be overwhelmed by the intent of destruction.”

His words shocked everyone, Alisha asked, “Sect Master.” gazing at Sun Eckhart, with her voice filled with concern.

Balor wanted to say something when Sun Eckhart said, “Believe in Dao.”

…

The Dao Child entered the passage, it was a pathway between two walls. This passage was the final trial. Every predecessor of the Immortal Sword Sect would come here and at their dying breath will leave a sword mark her. This sword mark will contain the comprehension they accumulated throughout their lives.

Only when someone has managed to seek the secrets hidden in the sword marks, were they counted as a pass and allowed to go to the abyssal edge to experience the sword intent left by the true immortal.

Yang Dao looked at the walls and he could sense some repulsion from the sword marks on the walls. However, this repulsion did not last long in front of his eyes. The boy was like a sponge, you might think that every genius is like that, however, Yang Dao was a sponge that could absorb the whole ocean.

He kept walking forward and his understanding kept growing. The sword in his space ring trembled slowly, sensing this change, Yang Dao took it out and said, “Calm down, I can also sense this aura, however, if you rush too quickly, you will fail. Only with a proper balance of control and rush can you achieve the peak.”

The sword calmed down and Yang Dao kept moving forward. The sword in his hand started to absorb the intent resonating in the surroundings while his mind absorbed the comprehensions of the sword left by the older people, and began to derive his own unique sword art from them.

He did not know how long has he walked, neither did he know how long this passage was. His feet did not stop and neither did the path in front of him. Eventually, he lost track of time.

…

Sun Eckhart gazed at the horizon as the setting sun spread its radiance everywhere and asked, “Balor, how long before we can enter and check on my disciple?”

His voice was firm and solemn. It has been three days since Yang Dao entered the passage of the abyss. However, the child was yet to come outside. They could not even probe the passage with their spirit senses thanks to the old arrays set up all over the place to prevent anyone from entering inside and even more, to prevent the sword intent from leaking and causing destruction.

Balor replied, “Sun, It will take one more day before we can finally enter. I am sorry.”

Sun Eckhart said, “Your sorry will not bring my disciple back, but if something happened to him, I might lose my shit and explode.”

Balor shivered at this thought. Sun Eckhart was not a person who would speak rashly. This guy literally was going to self-destruct on this planet? Did that not mean he will kill the entire immortal sword sect? He wanted to say something when suddenly, the sword tied to his waist trembled a little.

This scenario did not stop momentarily, but it escalated, the slight tremble became a wave of shock. Sun Eckhart said, “Did you sense it just now?”

Balor replied, “Yes, it is coming from the passage of Abyss. Yang Dao must have comprehended something. Let us go and check.”

The two people moved quickly and they came in front of the passage, at this distance, their weapons were shivering constantly. Soon, the disciples also gathered. The situation was that they were all trying to stop their swords from flying away.

Balor said, “Let go of your swords.”

The disciples were confused but they reluctantly followed the sect master. As they let go of their swords, they found that the weapons did not fly away but seemed to be pointing at the inside of the passage, and then even the elders of the sect found their swords trembling. Bai Hu came rushing to the spot.

He asked, “Master, what is happening? Why are the swords pointing in that direction?”

Balor said, “Yang Dao should have mastered his own sword intent. The passage is resonating. I only hope that he does not invoke his intent inside there or things might not be good.”

Sun Eckhart said, “Bai Hu must have told him the rules of the place, Dao will not make such mistakes.”

His words had just dropped, they all sensed the swords in the air move with their tips diagonally pointing at the center of the passage. Balor mumbled, “The worship of swords. What is going on?”

Just then they found a figure standing in the void with azure wings behind him. Bai Hu asked, “Dao what are you doing?”

Yang Dao replied, “Belle dancing.”

Alisha asked, “Young Master.” in a pleading manner.

“Tch, I needed to release my sword intent but I could sense that it should not be released where the elder’s intent rest, so I came outside.” said the boy.

Then before anyone could ask him even more, his aura began to climb. Shocking the people again. Yang Dao gave them a feeling, that if they all the signs. His body was radiating such a powerful intent that the swords in the void began to emit a high pitch vibration. This vibration of thousands of swords was so loud that it became unbearable for the normal disciples.

Balor spoke up, “Dao control your sword intent, if you released it now, it will destroy the intent seeds of anyone weaker than itself. fly straight opposite to me and you will reach the abyssal edge, there you will be able to master this intent. Go, quickly.”

Yang Dao did not wait and rushed fast, his speed was quick enough to carry him in front of the abyssal edge within a blink. He sat down on the ground with his legs crossed as soon as he was in the outer peripheral area. The intent from the abyssal edge was way too stronger than the passage, and Yang Dao was immediately suppressed.

The Dao Child was thankful for this suppression as it helped him control the intent raging inside his body. Gradually, Yang Dao fell into a state of meditation and the effects began to show. As he mastered the sword intent he has comprehended, the pressure from the Abyssal edge began to reduce.

Yang Dao was worried, as he had yet to completely master the sword intent and thus, this reduction might let his sword intent loose again. He tried to move forward but he could not. With a sigh, he began to take control of his thoughts again.

Since the abyss wanted him to master the intent before he could progress further, he will do just that. Time passed slowly, in one whole day, Yang Dao was able to move forward by just a meter. His body was drenched with sweat.

Some time while practicing, he had given up on sitting on the ground, and stood up, as it will allow him to walk forward.

…

Balor and Sun Eckhart were monitoring him from the distance, and the latter asked, “What do you think?”

Balor sighed and said, “He is a genius. Do you know how many days it took me to get to that spot he is standing at?”

Sun Eckhart nodded, “Three months and ten days.”

Balor coughed up and asked, “How do you know?”

Sun Eckhart said, “Back in those days, you were the sword genius. So everything you did was popularized outside. I happened to hear it.”

Balor sighed and said, “This kid of yours, he is not a sword genius, but a Sword demon. His intent is already capable of going head to head with the elders of my sect. What do you call this? This child will do great things, Sun. You better not push him away.”

Sun Eckhart nodded and said, “I will not push him away, his destiny will take him away from here.”
