619 Xu Empire.
After spending the whole night, with his sister in his arms, Yang Dao was a little reluctant to leave the little bundle of joy. Dao Yin said, “We will come back to pick up Wei.”
Only then did he hand over the child to his mother. Dao Jeiwei was still sleeping, so after pecking the little one on her forehead, Yang Dao said, “Mum, here is the first gift for my sister.”
He took out a mundane-looking guqin from his space ring. The first impression of the guqin was very normal. Yue Ling was confused, how come her son bought something so normal for his sister. Dao Yin caressed the board of the guqin and the whole impression underwent a complete makeover. Yang Dao said, “We created this Guqin, Wei has the same one. This is actually a saint-level armament, but until it is not touched by us, or the player has not reached at least the golden core realm, it will still look like a normal instrument.”
Yue Ling smiled and shook her head, she said, “Here I thought you have finally given up on mystery and found something mundane.”
Yang Dao smiled and said, “It is just perception mum, if you look at it as a stone, then the diamond will lose its value, but if you treat it as a gem, it will become priceless. Just the perception.”
Dao Yin smiled beside him. They both hugged their mother and went off to quickly bid farewell to all the elders. Then Dao Yin broke the talisman and they returned to the holy land. Laohu Bai was waiting for them. She asked, “Ready?”
The two people nodded and Laohu Bai said, “Alright, here.” she waved her hand and flicked the invitation from the Xu Empire to the two of them.
Yang Dao caught the card between his two fingers and then they directly headed to the array hall. The elder said, “You kids have been busy.”
The couple only smiled in reply. Yang Dao said, “Elder, Xu Empire, inner immortal plane.”
The old man was surprised and then said, “Quick succession, be careful.”
Then he handed out two talismans and the array portal was activated. That done, the couple vanished from the place. The portal was not yet closed and a white shadow also entered the portal.
…
Yang Dao and Dao Yin appeared in the void, above a bustling city. The young man mumbled, “The spirit energy is purer.”
Dao Yin nodded and said, “I do not sense any space shapes.”
Yang Dao activated his Dao Pupil and looked around. With the elevation in his cultivation realm, the range of his vision has also increased. The other thing was that his pupil has evolved, even without activating the pupil he could see the normal differences in the world around him. Dao Yin was the same. The activation of the pupil just gave him a boost. He said, “You are correct, I do not sense any spaceships. What is going on here?”
Dao Yin said, “How about we go down and find out?”
The two then descended into the city. The people with immortal soul realm cultivation were walking around like they were ants. Yang Dao and Dao Yin found a nice clean restaurant and sat down at a table, they ordered the specialties and soon a delicate-looking waitress came over with their order. Since the serving person was a female, Yang Dao focused on the food, while Dao Yin shook her head and asked, “Miss, can I ask you a few questions?”
The lady asked, “Guest, what is it? Do you not like the food?”
Dao Yin smiled and said, “Looking at him, do you think the food you served is bad?”, she did not hesitate from pointing a finger at the foodie young man in front of her.
The waitress smiled and asked, “Then, how may I be of help?”
“Tell me something, have you ever been to the outer immortal plane?”, Dao Yin directly asked.
The waitress was surprised, after the initial hesitation she said, “Yes, I have been to the outer plane for a vacation once.”
Dao Yin asked, “Then can you tell us, how the inner plane is different from the outer place?”
The waitress nodded and said, “Other than the obvious lower quality of the spirit energy there, they also have a different system of ruling. Like one family can own more than one planet and rule them. Unlike the inner plane.”
Dao Yin raised her eyebrow, and asked, “What do you mean by that, the Xu Empire does not have more than one planet?” ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
The waitress chuckled but then quickly covered her mouth and said, “Guest, I apologize, but you do not seem to be from the inner plane.”
Dao Yin nodded and the waitress said, “One planet is what they all dream to have, however, the strength level is very uniform here, and they cannot fight too hard without destroying the planet they rule, so they have a limited landmass. Every Empire needs to conquer ten kingdoms. That is how they gain the title of an empire.”
Hearing the explanation, Dao Yin nodded and asked, “Why do I not sense any spaceship?”
The waitress smiled and said, “That is because here the spaceships are just like the jade vessels you might have used. They can all turn into a smaller size. Like this one.”, then she took out an inch-long spaceship.
“It is not much, but it is enough to commute between the other planets.”, said the waitress.
Yang Dao looked at the spaceship and said, “Hmmm Gate shink rat.”
The waitress was surprised when Dao Yin said, “He means, great shrink array. Yang, do not speak with food in your mouth.”
“Hmm.”, replied Yang Dao as he cherished the chicken in front of him.
The people have developed a general understanding of what was the inner immortal plane about. The couple finished their meal and then made their way to the palace in the city. After interacting with the waitress they found that it was forbidden to fly in the city sky.
They found a lot of curious things in the market. Yang Dao and Dao Yin reached the palace amidst chatter and giggles. They never came out of the honeymoon phase whenever they were alone. They approached the gate and the stone lion at the gate stood up.
Yang Dao and Dao Yin smiled at the stone lion and the artificial beast said, “Who are you, what do you need?”
The couple did not speak much but took out the invitation letter. The stone lion gazed at the letter and then went back to the side, returning to its standby state and the gate was opened.
Yang Dao and Dao Yin walked inside holding hands. They found an old man running towards them with feminine strides. The man said, “Guests, his majesty has been waiting for you. Please come soon.”
Yang Dao gazed at Dao Yin in surprise thinking, ‘A eunuch?’
Dao Yin nodded and blinked, ‘Calm down.’
Yang Dao was surprised to see that the people will still have eunuchs in the inner immortal plane and more than that he was surprised that the old man actually allowed this to happen to him, it could be that the person was coerced. However, he was not here for all this. The old eunuch led the people through the gardens heading to the palace.
…
The Heavenly Dao Palace was echoing with weird noises. The four girls had found the objects of their affection. Dao Jeiwei and Yang Dao Shi. They would use their free time to observe the two girls. They loved how Jeiwei was even able to play the guqin so nicely.
Feng Yun shook her head and said, “Kiya, you people calm down.”
The four were not hiding the blatant attachment at all. So, she scolded them. Kiya said, “Master, we also want such children.”
Feng Yun was flabbergasted. She looked at the four of them and found they were all serious. She said, “What is going on in that head of yours.”
Mika said, “Master, we may be a few decades old now, but the heart is still the same as of a mortal. We also want children, with him, if possible, you know, natural means. If not then we can try surrogacy too.”
Feng Yun had a red face at this moment. She did not expect these four girls to have gone so bad, what was, even more, they had the gall to say it to her face.
Athena asked, “Master do you not want to have children of your own?”
The whole Dao Palace seems to have frozen at this moment. Feng Yun replied, “You may not know, but the four heavenly beasts cannot have children. Nor can Yang Dao and Dao Yin. Do you want children? Go adopt. Also, give me two days in the black room.”
The four girls were shocked and then began a round of appeasing an angry bird.
