The Urban Dao Child.

Yang Dao and Ryu Jinshi left the spirit council citadel wearing their white and black dress. They were going to fly over to the territory of the sylphs. The elders inside the spirit council immediately began to spread the word that the Heavenly Emissary has come to their world. They also spread out the conversation the boy just had with the spirit kings. 

The spirit kings were in a state of comprehension at the same time. The words they heard being spoken by Yang Dao were obscure to them at first, but the more they thought the better they understood the meaning of it. Assyria realized that they had made a grievous mistake of abandoning the normal life to chase after something that is not even remotely connected to it. 

Begnic had come to understand that death is the sum-up of all the deeds you committed while alive and thus they should be good and humble. They must all try to complete their tasks without getting attached to them and fulfill their purpose in life without expecting any result. He recalled how they never had the people praying for the easy afterlife. They would send the dead for cremation by simply using a magic spell in the death faction. They followed no rituals at all. 

He decided to ask Yang Dao, why the rituals were important. He noted down all the questions that came to his mind. He was going back to Gnomia and wait for the lord to visit and if Yang Dao did not visit back, then he would try to figure out the reasons by doing following the rituals. 

Assyria was the same. The spirit elders discussed with each other and they left after sending out the word using some magical means. They were going to wait for the heavenly emissary to go to their regions so that they could seek more of his guidance and understand the fundamentals better. 

... 

Yang Dao and Ryu Jinshi were flying under the verdant blue sky. Their destination was Sylphia, the territory of the wind spirits. All the spirits of the same race lived together. Sylphia was a region of towering trees and hanging houses. 

Yes, the houses of the sylphs were similar to that of the hanging nests of an oriole. The size, however, was enough to accommodate a whole colony of Orioles. Yang Dao asked Ryu about it and the dragon spirit gave him some information. 

However, when Yang Dao asked more. he was told to wait and ask the Sylphian people by himself. Yang Dao found it sound. Even if the man was aware of the process, it does not mean that he will be able to guide him properly. 

Suddenly, Ryu Jinshi asked, "Master, what have you thought about joining the assassination union?" 

Yang Dao replied with nonchalance, "I will see when we get back home." 

Ryu Jinshi nodded. This question was not fitting with the scene, so he did not hesitate on giving up for now. It took them two days before they could spot towering trees outgrowing a regular skyscraper. The lush green leaves were shining with a touch of gold on them, as the sun shone upon them. 

Perhaps she sensed Yang Dao's presence approaching closer. Sushi had already flown up to the border of the territory to welcome him. She used to be the guardian of the territory and her fight with the humans, when they tried to barge in, was well known to everyone, earning her the title of the Valkyrie. 

She was received warmly by the people. In the past week, she has been enjoying the VIP treatment of the people in the territory. However, she had not forgotten about yang Dao and had told everyone that she now had a master who looks after her a lot and also made her stronger and smarter. 

Yang Dao was flying in the void when he sensed a familiar presence and a faint smile emerged on his face. He quickened his pace and flew over to Sushi. He had forgotten that the girl was now as tall as a human girl. 

The finger-sized porcelain doll was now a live-sized jade doll. Ryu Jinshi followed Yang Dao like a shadow attached. The latter said, "Ryu, what do you think is my purpose here?" 

Ryu Jinshi was stumped, he did not expect such a question to be thrown his way, and that too all of a sudden. Still, he could not be just a dimwit and after thinking for a moment, he said, "You want to learn about the wind?" 

Yang Dao stopped moving forward and glanced at the familiar spirit incarnate in surprise. He said, "That is but obvious, why did you just state the obvious?" 

He really could not digest that this guy would not be able to deduce his motive to visit the territory of the Sylphs. He sighed and said, "Although I am the Dao Child. I have to enlighten the path to emancipation for the children of the world. However, I am still a teenager. I came here because I wanted to see this place." 

Ryu Jinshi was again surprised by this answer. Suddenly he got enlightened, Yang Dao had become unpredictable and mysterious. He could not predict what he was going to do the next moment. As the god of the wind element, he was more than familiar with this feeling. Before the practitioner enters the god level elemental level, the element will test him. 

Yes, the elements themselves had consciousness and they would test the practitioner before the final stage. The wind will give you impulse and only by controlling this impulse can you step over to the next level. As he was thinking, Yang Dao had vanished from his sight. Ryu Jinshi looked around with his wind sense and found that Yang Dao had appeared next to Sushi. 

The azure dragon had a bad premonition in his heart and immediately came beside Yang Dao. The boy had raised his hand to hold Sushi's thin wrist when Ryu Jinshi spoke in a deep voice, "Lord." 

Yang Dao shivered and woke up. He looked at his hand and then at a confused Sylph beauty in front of him. He recalled what was he about to do and took two steps back. He turned to Ryu Jinshi and said, "Thank you, just now, the wind got in my head."

This phrase could have made Ryu laugh normally, but not at the moment. The familiar spirit asked, "Shall I arrange a place for you to be secluded?" 

Yang Dao nodded and said, "That would be great, need to get in touch with the earth element to refine my state of mind and then control it."

Ryu Jinshi nodded and said, "Yes." he turned to face Sushi and said, "Take us to the elder." 

Sushi nodded and led them to the tree in the center of the territory. All the spirits lived in one territory that was as big as twenty soccer grounds. The tree in the center was a no-fly zone, they said. A territory of the spirit beings was the shelter of both the life and the death faction spirits. This was not only in the Sylphia but in every race. 

Sushi spoke in a light voice as they reached closer. She said, "Elder, my master, the heavenly emissary has come to meet you with the wind god."

A figure walked out of the hanging house. This person was a shriveling old man. He wore an indigo shade robe and walked shiveringly. The old man flew out of the room and asked, "Who has come to our humble abode?" 

Sushi pointed her finger at Yang Dao. The boy bowed slowly to show his respect for the elderly. The old man took a step to avoid the boy. He replied, "Lord, what do you mean by this?"

"First, you are an elder to me. Second, I have not done anything great. Third, it is not harmful for the younger generation to be respectful to the elders. Your blessings will be good for me." said Yang Dao. 

His words surprised the old man. He thought that since the other person was called the emissary of heavens and was escorted by their god as an attendant, he must be high-headed. Ryu Jinshi was about to speak when he suddenly sensed the wind flow around yang Dao change. 

He said, "Elder, can you spare a room for, My master to rest? He has been on a long journey."

The wind was getting stronger and the more they delay the harder it will become to control it. The elder nodded and said, "It would be my pleasure, Sir." 

He led the three people with a smile and brought them to a room. Yang Dao immediately sat down on the floor and started to meditate. Ryu Jinshi cast five barriers around him and said, "Sushi, you go prepare some food, you know he will be hungry after he wakes up." 

The girl nodded and rushed out to prepare the food and show her craft to her master. Ryu Jinshi said to the elder, "I do not see the elder from the life faction? Is everything okay?" 

The old man nodded and said, "She has gone to help someone deliver a child. She will be back soon." 

Ryu Jinshi nodded and looked at Yang Dao as he murmured, "You can do it, Dao."
