The Urban Dao Child.

Yang Dao left the room with Jill and came to the place where the Yue Clan had a port built for the ships. The ships were varying in different sizes. He asked Yue Yun as he reached her, "Which one belongs to us?" 

Yue Yun smiled and pointed at a sleek white and silver painted ship. The ship looked like a bird with its pointy head and wide wings. The lady went on to introduce the ship to him, "This one is called, Swift. It is the smallest ship in the docking area. It is classified among smaller flying vessels. However, the defense is equal to that of the large vehicles, thank the extensive formations engraved over this vessel. The speed is equal to the medium size flying vessels. 

It can fit up to ten people and needs two people to control the flight control. In emergency time, it can be handled by only one person only as well."

Yang Dao nodded and said, "Let's go." 

He had already met Jill and Yue Lei Wang the night before and said his farewell. He did not wish to disrupt the serenity in his mind at the moment he was leaving. It would be a lie to say that he was not anxious about the test at all. However, he had to put up the facade of calmness so that his enemy do not get a chance to strike at the chinks in his armor. 

Yang Dao had never considered himself to be a really invincible guy however, he was not the one who would go down without putting up a fight. The three people boarded the ship. Jill introduced him to a pair of brothers that were responsible for his safety on the trip. 

Inside the cockpit, he found two men, one big and bulky, while the other had a very scholarly aura about him. Jill pointed at the burly man and said, "Young Master, this person is called Yue Kong. He is at the middle stage of the nascent soul realm. The one next to him is his younger brother Yue Shun." 

Yang Dao nodded to the two people and thanked them for accompanying him on the journey. The two men smiled and the ship flew off after the three were seated. The boy did not ask them repeatedly about when he will be reaching the test destination. he simply closed his eyes and began to cultivate. 

The ship flew at the speed of light but the people inside were not affected by this, and Yang Dao kept on meditating to calm down the state of his mind. When nothing worked for him, he took out a picture of his family from his space ring and began to look at it without blinking his eyes. 

His mother has always been very calm and patient about things so how can he panic, that was the thought inside his mind. This thought worked as reverse hypnotism on him and made him calm down. That said, the boy calmed down. After an hour or so, Yue Yun said, "Dao, we are here." 

Yang Dao slowly opened his eyes and nodded, as he stood up. He stretched his body and let out a lot of crackling sounds from his bones and joints. He said with a smile on his face, "Let5 us go," 

Jill and the rest nodded. Yang Dao took out the sword inside his space ring and tied it around his back with the sheath and red silk bend. Yue Yun asked, "Are you trying to look domineering, Dao?" 

The boy said, "What do you mean by trying, Granny Yun. Your grandson, I, am domineering." 

The lady smiled at his small stature walking ahead. Jill asked, "What is going on with him?"  in a voice that only the guardians can pick up.

Yue Yun said, "He gets like this when he is nervous. Do not mind him. He does not recognize his own strength, that is all." 

Jill nodded and the people disembarked the flying vessel. Yang Dao found a lot of people gathering and moving in one direction. They proceeded to the square where all the people were gathered. A guardian wearing a coarse linen hanfu walked over and said, "This time the sovereign sect is selecting disciples, the test will commence in a few bits, the guardians are asked to come this way. The safety of your wards is guaranteed. Please come." 

Yue Yun wanted to say something but she sensed Yang Dao looking at her with a calm gaze and nodded. The lady took his hint and walked away. Expressing doubts in front of the people of the sovereign sect will be embarrassing them. This place was the safest place in this section of the immortal plane. 

Yang Dao split up from the people and came to stand among a lot of children of varying ages. he could see an old man floating in the void with his eyes closed. The pressure radiated from the old man was stronger than what his grandmother Jenny had radiated back at his place. He mumbled, "Interesting, such a strong person is here to take a test of new disciples." 

...

The old man was also monitoring the crowd through his spiritual sense and he could sense that someone was looking at him. The old man was hidden and not actually visible to any of the children standing in the square they did not have any idea. However, when the old man sensed a gaze lingering over himself, he directly 'looked' back at the holder of the gaze, and he was shocked to see that it was a kid. He smiled and said, "The test is going to be very interesting this time." 

...

In the center of the square on a podium stood a young man, the person had a very strong aura radiating from himself. The people had been looking at him with an awed gaze. Yang Dao did not understand what was so special about this person. Suddenly, the young man said, "The time for the exam has arrived. Any late arrivals are now destined to return empty-handed." 

Yang Dao mumbled, "So they had a time limit on arrival as well." 

A person standing next to him said, "Yes, do you think they will entertain us 'lowly beings' for a time that exceeds their convenience?" 

Yang Dao nodded and said, "You do have a point. So, what is the big deal with the awe this elder brother is being showered upon?" 

The person next to him replied, "He is an outer disciple of the sect. Now you know what is with the awe?" 

Yang Dao nodded and they heard the man on the podium speak, "Hello, junior brothers and sisters, My name is Feng Tao. I am an outer courtyard disciple of the sovereign sect. Now I will invite you all to come up to the stage and verify your bone age and cultivation realm. If anyone here is using some underhanded means, to hide your correct age, be warned, you will pay a drastic price.. I advise you to retreat now."
