Chapter 522 - Awakened?
Yang Dao said, “Shut up.” His calm voice drowned the yelling and rants of the elders. Only Yue Yun was the only one who stood unaffected by this sight.
The boy was radiating an aura that belonged to someone who ruled above them all. His superior aura and vibe gave all the people a shock that they did not expect even in their wildest dreams. Yang Dao said, “You dare to curse me without looking at your virtue? You old people sit in the chair holding a power that you dare not use and act as if you are the ruler of it all.
You create rules and you bend them as you wish. Do you think that you are some sort of god? Let me give it to you straight, you are just old mortals prolonging your demise by relying on spirit energy. You all take pride in your spirit cultivation right?”
As he was speaking the wind picked up the pace, and the ground began to shake slightly. Elder Jing raised her hand to get a hold of Yang Dao, thinking that some old ancestor of the Olympus family is behind this as someone was angry with the child speaking in such a manner.
However, Yue Yun said, “Do not touch him.” her voice was low and it was only heard by the people on their side.
Elder Jing turned her gaze to look at Yue Yun, who gave her a reassuring gaze and nod. The former picked up the hint and she realized that all this was done by Yang Dao. The surprise did not come to an end with just this, Yang Dao’s hair flickered and he said, “Seal.”
The low voice echoed in the hall, and everyone present shivered a little. The elder, who scolded Yang Dao first suddenly stood up, but he realized that his knees were shaking. The old man was a few hundred years old. However, he was a cultivator of the Ascended Mortal realm. This sudden shiver and weakness made him baffled.
He asked in a weak voice, “What have you done to us?”
Yang Dao replied, “Sealed away the spirit inside you. You are all just mortals the true form that you all hide and look away from. You can never be Immortal if you disregard what you truly are. Only when you understand how fragile you are, will you come to value your strength.
As for the sitting arrangement, everyone in my group has spirit cultivation. So we are the strongest, how about I sit down where the head of the family is?”
His words made the people seeth with rage. The young man beside Troy Olympus said, “Do you not think you are a bit too much when you use those remarks? Do you not know what that the ground you stand on belongs to the Olympus Overlord? Do you think that after doing this you will walk out alive?”
Yang Dao chuckled and said, “You are welcome to try more than your best.”
The young man clenched his fist in anger and was about to issue a death order. After all, Yang Dao’s words were like a tide drowning the people. Without the spirit energy inside them, they felt as if suffocating. Elder Jing Shui was aware of what might happen in the future so she said, “You all shall give up on the idea of hurting him in the future or you will face the entire Sovereign Sect. Troy Olympus, I told you earlier, that the child I selected for your daughter was a millennium genius. The protege of Sun Eckhart.
Yet, you arranged for this monkey show under the influence of your elders. It is good to respect them but that does not mean you should let their clouded thoughts haze up your mind as well. You wanted him to show his power? This is his power, if you are satisfied then I hope you acknowledge the engagement.”
Troy Olympus was sitting and eating at the table rather calmly. He did not loss his patience and demeaner like the majority of the olympus family. His wife was the same as him. After swallowing the morsel of food, the man said, “I gave you my word, Elder Jing, that as long as my daughter is ready, I will bless her. The main purpose behind having Young Master Yang showcase his strength was to deter the geniuses of the four families, who had been vying for my daughter’s heart.
The strength he showcased right now is enough to get him a place on the main table. If he wishes to seat, that is. I only ask Young Master Yang to undo the seal on our bodies. I swear on my martial dao heart, that he will not be held responsible. After all, the Olympus Overlord does not suppress talented people such as Young Master Yang.”
Yang Dao heard his words and after a few moments he said, “Release.”
His golden hair faded away and returned to their usual deep black. Then he said, “I have lost my appetite. I apologize to you all for this.”
Then he turned around and moved to his room with steady footsteps. The actions that happened right now were not done by him, and only Yang Dao was aware about this. He walked back to his room and as soon as Jill closed the room, the boy waved his hands and fell on the ground. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
His brain and soul were exhausted. The stress for wielding the Dao Resonance washed over him as soon as he released the seals of the Olympus family. He only made it back to his room relying on his will. He was aware that a lot of old antiques were using their spirit senses to keep a tab on him. This was an enemy territory and he could not show any weakness.
Well, what he did earlier did get him some enemies. Yue Yun picked him up from the ground and put him on the bed. Elder Jing was also behind them and she quickly came to check Yang Dao’s pulse.
Yue Jing asked, “How is he, Master?”
The lady said, “Exhaustion, what was that pressure radiated from him?”
They all turned their eyes to look at Yue Yun. The elder lady sat beside Yang Dao on the bed and gently stroked his hair. She said, “Dao has a innate ability. It only surfaces when he experiences extreme emotions. It happened only once in the past, that day the training ground became five meters deeper. Today, he had a better control of the situation or the banquet hall might have turned into rubble.”
Elder Jing said, “It seems that thsi ability is too much for him to handle at the moment.”
Yue Yun nodded and said, “Don’t worry, he will be fine after a good sleep.”
…
Yang Dao woke up in an endless white space, around him four sillouhettes stood. He could make out the gender of the shadows, but he did not know why they were all of different colors. Yang Dao tried to walk ahead but his body did not respond. He looked below and found his body wrapped in metal chains.
The innate temperament of the Dao Child surfaced as he calmly mumbled, “What is this? A dream?”
After giving it a little more thought the boy said, “It is all too real to be a dream, I can sense subtle itch when I resist these chains. But someone tell me where I am and who does these shadows belong to?”
It was as if someone was waiting for Yang Dao to ask these questions. A mellow voice sounded, “Long time no see, Young Master.”
Yang Dao flinched and subconsciously called out, “Sister Yun.”
He did not know how he replied, or who this sister Yun was, but he felt inexplicably close to this voice in his head. The voice replied again, “It is me, Dao.”
Yang Dao began to struggle while his body was wrapped in the chains. He wanted to get away from the bondage and find out the person, who owned this voice that resonated with his heart. The voice said again, “Calm down, Dao. You cannot undo these seals.”
The boy asked, “WHY? Where did these seals came from? What is the purpose of these seals?”
Feng Yun’s voice sounded again, “You will get all the answers when the time is right. Do not worry. We will meet again and talk when you undo these seals. Till then, learn well. Grow strong, Young Master, the world needs you.”
Yang Dao did not know why but his emotions calmed once again. The boy let out heavy breath and said, “I will.”
Feng Yun’s voice said, “That is the Dao I know. See you soon, Young Master.”
…
A whole night passed and Yang Dao woke up. He recalled every single detail of the dream. When he woke up in the morning, he found everyone else sitting inside his room. He tried to sit up and Yue Yun supported his body. She asked, “How do you feel?”
Yang Dao smiled and said, “Half Awake.”
