Yang Dao fell into a deep sleep as soon as he exited the space tunnel and was taken back to the courtyard mansion by the four people. Feng Yun narrated the whole journey to the people and how the young man restored balance among the elements. She also told them how he fought with the void monsters.
Atsuji said, "We do not have much time left. farther the sacred realms, the more imbalanced they are. The void entities will be ready for us the next time we travel."
Ryu Jinshi said, "It will be you going out personally. You can control the space and time, and outside in the void, the world laws do not apply. You can act freely. However, do not forget that you are not in control now. Follow whatever Master says." His voice was solemn.
Laohu Bai said, "Old man, you have one shot at redemption. Do not let it go, or you know what might be the result."
Atsuji Kurogame nodded, and the scene fell silent. Feng Yun checked on Yang Dao and found the boy to be sleeping on his bed with a peaceful expression. She sighed as she closed the door and she left.
Yang Dao did not know what was going on outside. He was immersed in comprehending the laws of creation and destruction, consolidating them in his memory and learning to harness the powers. As he dwelled deeper on this, he slowly came closer to the Dao Space. He was eager to meet Dallia again.
As his comprehension completed, he came to the Dao space. As just as she said, the girl stood there in the starry Dao space, wearing her black Hanfu gown, long white hair, and a sword resting on her waist. She had a smile on her face when she saw Yang Dao appear in the space. She said, "Quick enough, I see."
Her temper was not as cold as it was in the past. Yang Dao smiled and said, "I do not know if I am fast enough. The familiar spirits do not share it with me but I can sense the urgency they all have, buried deep within their hearts."
Dallia nodded and said, "The balance of the four heavenly sacred realms needs to be fixed before you can restore the order in your mortal world."
"What about you? Have you restored the balance of the sacred realms of hell?" questioned the boy.
Atsuji Kurogame told him that eight such sacred realms would surround the world, and that there was one more mortal world which was the opposite counterpart of the mortal world he lived in. The only difference was that Yang Dao in the other world was called Dallia.
Dallia nodded and said, "I have one last realm left to deal with, after that, I have to solve the situation in my mortal world."
Yang Dao nodded and sat down in the starry sky. He said, "Sit down. We might as well take this time to impart and exchange the knowledge of the laws."
Dallia nodded and sat down, however she asked, "Do you know that my real name is Dao Yin and not Dallia?"
Yang Dao raised his gaze and nodded, "I thought about it the last time but did not mean to ask you why you did not tell me."
The girl smiled and said, "You do not misunderstand, the world I live in has a language different from yours. In that language, Dallia means Dao Yin."
Yang Dao nodded and asked, "So what do I call you now?"
Dallia said, "However you like." she had a smile on her face. Yang Dao was also happy, and the two began to talk about what they have been dealing with recently. They also talked about the problems during void travel.
Dao Yin had it easier. She was alone and had yet to encounter the smarter void monsters. She did not have four familiars but was bestowed with all the powers and armaments since birth. So her skills were enough. If she felt a need, then she can also invoke the heavenly spirits and summon them to aid her.
Yang Dao did not have such privileges. He did not need them. The four familiars were basically his shadows in the mortal world and even in the heavenly sacred realms, they would always stay beside him.
The two people began to learn from each other the situation of their worlds and they came up with suggestions to deal with the problems. While Yang Dao provided Dao Yin with reasoning tips, the latter preached to him the way of force. She imparted to him some martial art techniques suitable for sword users. However, since she was a girl, she modified the technique to be suitable to be used by male users.
The two people practiced together in the Dao Space. Yang Dao suddenly asked when he was learning how to use the sword, "Is this what they call Dual Cultivation?"
His sudden words made Dao Yin blush faintly. She shook her head and said, "There are many types of dual cultivations. The one we are doing right now will be called a form of spiritual dual cultivation and nothing vulgar. Do you understand?"
Yang Dao nodded and said, "I do."
The time passed quickly inside the Dao Space and they did not have any worries about the outside world. The young man asked, "What about your physical body?"
The girl said, "I hid away from the people, into a secluded place. Do not worry, I am fine. I have my beasts on the lookout."
Yang Dao did not ask further. Dao Yin asked, "What about you?"
He replied, "I am probably inside my room, with Sister Yun guarding it."
Dao Yin raised an eyebrow and Yang Dao told her the names of the familiar spirits and how things worked in his world. Dao Yin told him about her world as well. The things were similar, but nature was the opposite.
What Dao Yin was to look after was that chaos is not harmful to nature. While Yang Dao looked after the order of the world. What one needed to understand was that both chaos and order were needed in order for the world to sustain itself, but they must not go over the limit and affect nature. This was the task of the Dao Child.
The two practiced swords and only when Yang Dao learned it completely did he stop. The young man did also pointed out a few loopholes in Dao Yin's practice and made her improve.. They learned a lot from each other and finally, after a brief hug, they said goodbye to each other, promising to meet when they have dealt with the next sacred realm of heaven and hell.
