The Urban Dao Child.

Yang Dao was listening to the old people communicating but did not intervene. After the dinner was finished, he did not hurry off to get away from them and sleep. He asked, "Elder Jing, what is the Red Moon, that you mentioned just now?" 

Elder Jing Shui smiled and said, "You know that there are demon cultivators in the immortal plane, right?" 

The boy nodded and the lady continued, "However, on the contrary to what the people think of how demon cultivators are ruthless and cruel. They are good people. They all follow the righteous path of demonic cultivation and unlike those who seek power at the cost of their humanity. They are strong and kind people who fight those who stand against nature and are corrupted." 

Yang Dao nodded and asked, "Wo what does this have to do with our tournament?" 

Elder Jing Shui smiled and said, "Every fifty years, the sect who won the pentagonal tournament will be given a chance to fight the young genius of the Red Moon Sect. The winner will have a chance to get admitted in a prominent holy land of the Outer Immortal Plane." 

Yang Dao raised his eyebrow and Troy Olympus said, "The immortal plane is vast and wide. The place we are at is the outer edge of the immortal plane. There are four holy lands of cultivation and one supreme temple of cultivation. 

The four holy lands are like the subordinates of the Supreme temple located in the inner immortal plane. The top genius from these four holy lands can enter the supreme talent as a disciple. Now, those things can be understood later. 

As to why must one compete for a seat in the four holy lands, the reason is simple, they only allow one seat between two sects. We are human cultivators and the other party is the sect of demon cultivators. Red Moon sect is the strongest demon sect on the western edge of the outer immortal plane. If your sect can win the competition between the five sects in this region, the eastern edge of the outer immortal plane, then who knows, you might have a chance." 

Yang Dao nodded and said, "Still something seems missing from the size you described. How come the edge of the outer immortal plane sounds small." 

He intended to ask, how come there are only five sects around them and how were they the only ones fighting over this. Elder Jing Shui said, "The edge is divided into blocks. Take the immortal plane as a saucer and if you fold it from the middle, Red Moon lies on the edge corresponding to us. Do you understand?" 

Yang Dao tilted his head and wanted to ask more, but was scared to keep quiet by Elder Jing\'s glare. She was aware that his questions will be nonsense like, who came up with this division system, etc. She did not have it in herself to answer them all. Like this thing has been the same way as it was since the eternity she was aware of. 

The Dao Child could only stop his mouth with a pout and the lady continued, "You will be participating Dao, and let me tell you that the people in this tournament are not going to be easy opponents. You have to work hard and learn as much as possible." 

The atmosphere turned solemn as soon as she said this. At this moment, she had passed on a big burden on Yang Dao\'s small frame, to carry his sect\'s prestige forward. She did not say it clearly but her emphasis was sensed by all the grown-ups on the table. 

Yang Dao raised his head and said, "Oh finally someone said I am allowed to learn. Elder Jing, you better tell master when we get back, he is not supposed to make me take it easy." 

Yue Yun sighed and said, "Elder Jing, I wish you luck." 

The others did not know what she meant but Elder Jing thought she has done something bad. The people had a serving of dessert and they went back to their rooms. The next morning, Yue Yun gave Yang Dao a warm big hug. She coaxed him a bit because the boy was getting emotional and they parted with the promise of Yang Dao going back to visit his parents after the sect tournament. 

People boarded the ship and the Olympus family sent an escort ship with them, all the way to the Sovereign Sect system. This time Yang Dao would take out time to meet with the others on the ship and he also studied the spirit stone supply and ship control arrays. This sense of urgency ignited ever since he saw that dream. 

The crew inside the ship, who taught him different things about ship control and maintenance were shocked at the rate Yang Dao absorbed his knowledge. He was just like a sponge absorbing everything thrown or spilled in front of him. After fifteen days, Yang Dao could perform some basic maintenance. 

The ship entered the spaceport of the first planet in the domain, and after getting off, Yang Dao rushed to supremacy. He did not wait for anyone, his first stop was Formation hall. He had decided to learn the knowledge of Array Formations. His speed was so fast that Elder Jing Shui could only shake her head. 

...

Yang Dao appeared in front of Formation Hall, the place was not a mountain but a hall, it looked ordinary but when the boy tried to enter the hall, he found himself standing back at the entrance. He spotted a person coming out and asked, "Excuse me, senior brother, can you tell me why can I not enter the formation hall?"

The young man in front was wearing a special uniform. Black robe with yellow symbols over it. This person was the prime disciple of Elder Chime. He recognized Yang Dao as he was the only one of this age, and his temperament was outstanding too. 

He asked, "Are you here to perhaps learn about arrays?" 

Yang Dao nodded with surprise, the young man continued with a faint smile, "This is the first test for anyone who wants to learn the arrays. You will have to solve this peak level one array, Will Testing array. One must know the first level of array symbols. Have you read the array compendium?" 

Yang Dao shook his head, and the boy said, "Here, you take this and read, only after finishing this book should you try again. Okay?" as he took out a book from his space ring.

The young child nodded and accepted the book. Then he found a big boulder at a distance and went to sit over it. Suddenly, he raised his head and asked, "Senior brother, may I ask what is your name?" 

"Fang Yang.." said the boy as he walked away with a faint smile on his face, leaving the boy to his own.
