Chapter 384 - Departure.
The night passed away in a blink and Yang Dao spend his time meditating with his hidden cards. Luster, Shadow, Sushi, and Amber, were all sitting around him as he meditated. What these four were doing could be called washing off in Yang Dao\'s limelight.
As the Dao Child, when he sat in meditation, the dao will resonate with his consciousness, these spirit beings could absorb that resonation. This resonation was akin to a resource that the people would sell their souls for. They on the other hand could get it for free. Call them lucky.
Amber was not sitting in the form of a ring, with Yang Dao\'s permission, she turned into a smaller golden crow. Sushi was fascinated by her appearance and asked her a lot of questions before she calmed down and began to meditate.
Yang Dao was sitting on the balcony of his penthouse with his eye closed and knees folded. His skin was bathing in the glow of the moonlight, making him look like an immortal. The two big leopards sitting in front of him, and two glowing creatures on both his sides, one azure, and the other gold, added the color of fantasy to the picture.
The night passed away in a jiffy, the horizon swallowed the moon and the sun slowly rose above. Yang Dao opened his eyes and said, "Today we go to the Dao Island."
He stood up and walked inside his room to freshen up. Ever since he had mastered the laws of life and death his hunger has calmed down. He only eats when he spends a long time in seclusion. The foodie side of his was just a pinch of exotic herb spices in the dish of life. After freshening up the boy wore a vermillion t-shirt to match Feng Yun with black jeans and matching sneakers.
He has never sported this color before. This t-shirt had a print of color that gave an illusion of flames. He picked it up today because he wanted to surprise Feng Yun, plus the fire element made him open up to flashy things, that he did not like earlier. When he mastered the control of the wind element he restrained himself a lot, still, he used the most expensive bicycle and the Quinn.
That was catchy enough. After dressing up he walked out. Amber flew up from the balcony and came near him, then the golden bird dived and suddenly its body started to minimize and change into a black ring engulfed in fire.
Yang Dao smiled at this transition of the golden crow. Sushi simply came and sat in the dense hair over his head. Luster and Shadow found their abode in his shadow and the glint of his watch glass. He came outside, locked the door, and boarded the elevator moving straight to the ground floor, and sat down in his car.
He called Feng Yun, the call connected in a blink and the lady said, "Good morning, Master. Everything is in order, we can leave for the island any moment."
Yang Dao replied, "Sister Yun, calm down. I am not a tyrant. I will pick you up from the mansion and then we go ahead together."
Feng Yun agreed to it without even blinking. Why would she refuse to his company? Yang Dao drove out of his car and the guards saluted him with awe. It has been a long time since they saw the young master, but the respect has multiplied a thousand times more. The black car ran through the light traffic and reached the Dao Courtyard Mansion in an hour.
Feng Yun stood waiting for Yang Dao at the garage door when she saw the vermillion color t-shirt draped around Yang Dao. Her eyes turned crescent, she walked over to him, embraced him tightly in her slender arms. The Dao Child smiled and hugged her back as well, but his grip was gentle. Feng Yun sensed this and asked, "Dao, did I do something?"
The boy was surprised but then he sensed her mood through the spiritual link and said, "No, I just think we should hold onto treasures a bit more gently. You are a treasure, are you not sister Yun?"
The lady did not expect him to compliment her, suddenly Yang Dao said, "I realized that I was too harsh on you and Baibai in the previous facade. I will make it up to you two, okay?"
Feng Yun nodded and the two broke the hug. They came to the helicopter and boarded it. Yang Dao asked, "The others?"
"They have already reached the Dao Island last night," said Feng Yun.
Yang Dao nodded, the rotors turned and the helicopter began to ascend the sky. The flight later for a couple of hours before the chopper arrived over a vacant ocean region. The boy suddenly asked, "Sister Yun, I never actually took notice, but why is the flight for the Dao Island always so short, the distance covered in these two hours cannot be covered even if you double the time."
Feng Yun smiled and said, "The route this helicopter took to the island is covered with multiple space folding spells. We cannot let anyone track us through the satellites. The location of the Dao Island, if revealed can lead to the destruction of the world."
Yang Dao nodded as he found this explanation to sate his curiosity. The helicopter came to a standstill and Feng Yun opened the cabin door after clicking the button on the side panel. The two people jumped out of the cabin and flew away. Unlike the usual Yang Dao did not evoke his azure wings but vermillion feiry wings. This action of his made Feng Yun very happy.
They flew through the clouds and suddenly dived down at the lone island floating in the endless blues. The place was covered with barriers and could only be accessed by the four of the Heavenly spirits and Yang Dao. As the two landed in the center of the clearing. Yang Dao spotted three people sitting over the four tree stumps.
Laohu Bai stood up and walked over to his side. She said, "Long time no see, Master."
Yang Dao shook his head and took her in his embrace as he said, "Long time no see indeed, Baibai."
Atsuji Kurogame and Ryu Jinshi also greeted him. They were calm but they were still awkward since the last time. Yang Dao nodded to them with a faint smile but nothing was spoken. He only said, "Can we start?"
Atsuji Kurogame nodded and made a few seals with his hands, opening a space duct between the sacred realm and the world. He said, "Master, I advise you take that ring along with you and no other companions. The space ducts will have stronger void monsters, the presence of the companions might become a burden."
Yang Dao nodded and said, "Thank you." He took out his bow and let Sushi and the leopards roam the Dao Island till his return.
He glanced at Feng Yun with a smile and said, "Shall we go?" Feng Yun smiled, took a hold of his hand and she jumped into the space duct with him.
