The Urban Dao Child.

Yang Dao was sent away, he was being guided by a girl wearing a black and white hanfu. The girl was seemingly eighteen years of age, but her cultivation realm was at the peak of the golden core realm. The boy did not talk much to her and kept looking around with great enthusiasm. 

The place was surrounded by lush green grass and trees. They were walking on a pathway covered with tiles. Yang Dao asked, "Senior sister, what are those trees? They look so different." 

The girl followed his finger from the corner of her eye and said, "Those are spirit fruit trees, each of them bears fruit once a hundred years. This fruit can enhance the physical strength of a cultivator by two folds. There are hundred such trees in the garden." 

Yang Dao was surprised by such a marvelous fruit in existence. He asked, "Since it is just one fruit per year, then I guess there must be some sort of conditions on who will get to eat it, no?" 

The girl was not surprised by his sharp analysis, and nodded, "Indeed, that will be the assessment of the new disciples." 

Yang Dao nodded and asked, "Is this the first prize?" 

The girl shook her head and said, "This is one among the prize. You will know when the time comes." 

The boy nodded and fell silent as he kept looking at the surrounding scenery. It was like he had come to some sort of paradise. On the way he spotted a lot of elder humans with the cultivation of peak body formation realm, tending after the garden and the surroundings. He asked, "Senior sister, why are these elders weak?" 

The girl replied, "They were all limited by their potentials, after they could not advance the realm, they all were given a choice, either to leave the sect, or to join the service staff. Some left while some stayed. They are now paid with spirit stones, and shelter to live in. The sect is not inhumane." 

Yang Dao nodded and amidst their talks the two reached a palace. The girl said, "This palace will be your dwellings, it is called the cloud palace, one of the most scenic and serene residents on Supremacy." 

Supremacy was the name of the main domain planet of the sovereign system. Yang Dao nodded and asked, "Thank you for guiding me here, Senior Sister." 

The girl shook her head and said, "It is my duty. I hope you do not mind a maid as uncouth as me." 

Yang Dao shook his head with a smile and said, "You are not uncouth, just not superficial." 

The girl smile and said, "My name is Alisha. Glad to meet you, young master." 

Yang Dao nodded and said, "Senior sister Alisha. You can call me by my name. I do not like to be called Young Master much." 

Alisha shook her head, "It is not up for discussion. You are the disciple of the sect master, so you are the young master. Even if you do not have a problem, the other people will take things badly." 

Yang Dao did not have much knowledge of what a human mind was capable of when gossiping was involved. He was a child after all. Alisha led him inside the palace, and Yang Dao was greeted by a lot of service disciples inside the palace. They all were at least thirty or forty years of age. There were also some younger ones. 

Upon asking, he found out that the service disciples are not only those who could not advance in the realms, it is also those who did not want to go outside the sect to earn merit points for resources. These people were those who were fortunate enough to get by the test but led sad lives in reality. 

He felt bad for them but he did not make a move until he was sure of things. This would cause a lot of waves and he was not going to sail in the troubled waters so soon. He was led to a big room, he found the room to be empty of furniture but it was filled with thick spirit energy flow. The boy smiled and said, "Senior Sister, I will stay here." 

Alisha was surprised and asked, "Do you not want to check on the bedroom?" 

Yang Dao shook his head and got inside the room. He was going to make a rush to advance his realm. The boy was reaching the peak of his realm and the combat exam helped him a lot in loosening his bottleneck. He sat down on the ground with his legs crossed and eyes closed. 

He began to circulate the spirit energy inside his body at a high speed. The process of breakthrough was to instill the spirit energy outside inside his body in form of drops. These drops will be placed inside his dantian. The liquid drops were called spirit essence, the output of strength was fifty times higher than the gaseous spirit energy flowing inside them. 

Yang Dao began to concentrate the flow of spirit energy inside his dantian, an empty space inside the human body. The warm spirit energy flowed inside and began to converge. The process was slow and will take a long time for him to even compress one drop of spirit essence. 

...

While the boy was immersed in his cultivation, the people outside also found out that the sect master has accepted a disciple and they all became curious about what sort of genius was this kid. 

Every branch of the sect had its own inner and outer courtyard. The inner courtyard had a higher level of disciples set over them, these disciples were called true disciples. The elders on the council were the strongest among their peers, they had other elders to help them in looking after the branches. 

These true disciples were the force to reckon with. They were all strong and geniuses in their own merit. So, when the new of Yang Dao appeared the ones to act the fastest were these true disciples. They did not have the privilege to reside on Supremacy. Thus, they organized a gathering of the true disciples and sent an invitation to the new prime disciples.

Prime disciples were higher than the true disciples. They were the direct disciples of the elders on the council. The sect brimmed with movement. 

In the elder council meeting, Elder Bai said, "Yang Dao has set big waves." 

The rest of the people nodded. Elder Jing Shui nodded and said, "Let us see, how the young man sails in these troubled waters." 

The rest of the elders nodded in agreement. They wanted to see the true potential of this boy but if things were excessive, they will all intervene. Sun Eckhart sat in the high chair and said, "I will not meddle in the matters, but if he suffers unjustly under the hands of your disciples. I will not sit by. Regardless of the result. So, better tell them to be restraint." 

His voice was adamant and calm, however, it still shocked the people. Never has the sect master threatened them about using the heavy hand, but this time he did. After saying what he wanted Sun Eckhart vanished. 

Elder Bai asked, "Why did he seem too agitated?" 

Perseus said, "If it was my disciple, I would react the same. Mind you this is Sect Master's first disciple. He should be caring towards him. Yang Dao is a good seed. He is a cloud that will rise high in the skies of immortal realm." 

The rest of the people could not believe that the warmonger among them would give such a high opinion of Yang Dao but they still agreed with him, because they all may not be as keen as Sun Eckhart, they all knew that the boy was not a simple one.
