Yang Dao did not try to stand up after he heard the sect master. Thetter continued after a pause, "My name is Sun Eckhart. The sect Master of Sovereign sect. Tell me about yourself."


    The boy replied, "My name is Yang Dao, my father is called Yang Shan and my mother is Yue Ling. I am ten years and two months old. My cultivation base is at the peak of the spirit gathering realm."


    Sun Eckhart nodded and asked, "Can you tell me, Dao. Why is it that the spirit energy inside your body still revolving?"


    Yang Dao was surprised by this question because no one ever took notice of this, his spirit cirction was so faint that it was unnoticed by even his maternal grandparents. He answered, "Sir, ever since the day I started to cultivate properly, it has been like this. I do not know why."


    The man nodded gently, he said, "What cultivation sutra do you practice?"


    Yang Dao replied, "Great Dao Sutra."


    Cultivation sutra was like a code to circte the spirit energy through one''s body. Sun Eckhart was a man, who sat at the peak of strength. He was very curious about, how the boy from nowhere can get this much strength at such a young age. He said, "Do not resist."


    He locked his gaze with Yang Dao with the motive to look into his memories. Yang Dao did not resist, he could sense something weird with his mind. He was recalling all the things that has happened from the day he has been born. However, just as the memory clip reached the point on how Yang Dao found the cultivation sutra, something happened.


    Sun Eckhart sensed his heart clutched by an unknown force. The man was among the strongest existence of the world. It had been a long time since he had sensed fear, and this was certainly the first time where he did not even have the courage to protest. He heard a voice inside his mind, "Release him from your spell."


    The voice was feminine, yet themanding tone was something he could not deny to. He released his spell and opened his eyes. In front of him stood four silhouettes. They all stood behind Yang Dao''s body, he could tell that two were women and two were men but he could not see their faces, it was like a vague shadow.


    Sun Eckhart wanted to say something, but before he could a wisened voice sounded in his ears, "Do not look at into things that you are not supposed to. It will lead you to destruction. The identity of our master is not something you can peek at. You are to y the role of his master, but that will be a namesake."


    Sun Eckhart nodded andplied with themand. He did not want to ept it so easily but the pressure had made him scared witless. A cold voice echoed in his ears, "You might have your pride. You can teach him all you wish for, and rest assured, he will achieve all that you can dream for. However, never think that you are his master. You or anyone in the world are qualified to teach the Dao Child. If this thing is mentioned ever again from your mouth, the result will be the annihtion of all that you have created." The speaker was ady.


    Sun Eckhart had gotten a hint, the Dao Child. Earlier when he had found the blessing on Yang Dao he was curious but now things had started to fall into ces. The four silhouettes bowed to Yang Dao and turned into four heavenly beast totems as they merged with his brows.


    The pressure inside the room vanished, however, Sun Eckhart was still frozen in his spot. The man had no idea, how to exin what just happened. He was sure that the four existences were not something from this world. They were transcendent beings. He looked at the boy who seemed to have fallen asleep in front of him and mumbled, "This child is Dao itself."


    This revtion gave him a scare. He decided to bury all this under his heart and asmanded, he will nurture his child with all that he has.


    ...


    Inside the Dao pce, Feng Yun, Laohu Bai, Ryu Jinshi, and Atsuji Kurogame sat around a table, there were three girls standing behind them. These three were, Mika, Kiya, and Lisa. They had grown strong and their appearances had advanced to the level where they can make countries start a war for their smiles. The effects of the Dao Enlightenment.


    Ryu Jinshi said, "Why not just kill that guy? How dare he peek at master?"


    Atsuji Kurogame said, "Humans are curious beings. It is fine, he will not have the courage to do something like this again."


    Laohu Bai said, "Still, this was not eptable. I really would have killed that guy. Humph."


    Feng Yun said, "We cannot act in that world until we descend in person. The Dao resonance can keep them at bay, that is all we need for the time being. In time, Dao will be strong enough to shelter himself."


    The three nodded. The three girls exchanged a nce and Feng Yun said, "For the nth time. None of you are allowed to descend there, if you are going to help Dao, then we need to assign someone for Dao Yin as well. This is not up for argument. He needs to fend for himself, or he will be akin to a greenhouse nt."


    The three girls sighed. Atsuji Kurogame smiled and said, "Do not worry, this will pass soon. Focus on your practice."


    ...


    Yang Dao woke up and found the Sect Master sitting in front of him, the golden glow was, however, missing. He suddenly, recalled what happened and stood up with a flinch, he said, "I am sorry, senior. I did not realize when I dozed off."


    Sun Eckhart woke up from his daze and shook his head, he said, "Dao, you fell asleep when I peeked in your memories. It is fine. From this moment forth, you are my disciple. Do you ept me as your master?"


    Yang Dao smiled and nodded. He was about to kowtow when Sun Eckhart raised his hand to stop him, as he smiled, "That is not needed, child. Acknowledgment with a sincere heart is all that matters..."


    After that, Sun Eckhart arranged a personal maid for Yang Dao and send the boy away. As Yang Dao vanished, the man slumped back in his chair, he mumbled, "If I epted his kowtow, will it not crush my dao heart? So close to death."


    He was enlightened by the four heavenly beasts and the Dao Child.
