Laohu Bai snickered when she saw the look on Yang Dao's face. The boy asked the people who knelt in front of them, "Excuse me, Old Sir. Can I come aboard your... Um, vessel?"

His humble tone surprised the people. They did not expect him to be so polite. The old man hurriedly stood up and with a bent back, he said, "Yes, it will be our honor to have you come over. Please, lord please, be welcome."

​​

Yang Dao slowly landed on the deck and looked around. Laohu Bai stood behind him in silence. The boy asked, "Old Sir, what is this gigantic airship?"

The old man was confused. He said, "Sir, mean the elemental vessel?"

Yang Dao replied, "Yes, can you teach me about it old sir?" he was calm and polite.

The old man said, "This vessel is called an elemental vessel. It is powered up by the laws of elemental cultivation. This vessel can travel, in the air, in the water, and on earth as well. The person in charge ignites the source energy from their body and channels it through the vessel, making it move forward."

Yang Dao nodded and asked, "Forgive me, Old Sir, may I know what your name is? I am Yang Dao. Thank you for allowing me to come aboard." With that said, he bowed to the old man.

The old man had not expected this. He hurriedly said, "Lord, please raise your head. You are the emissary of the heavens. How can you bow to us lowly beings? Please, Lord. Stand up."

Yang Dao raised his head and asked with a smile, "Old sir, you said it yourself. I am the emissary of heavens. I am not the heavens itself. Please stand up. Just like you, I exist under the heavens as well. Do I not?"

His words surprised the old man. Laohu Bai spoke, "Since the Dao Child has spoken. Old Sir, stand up and report your name."

Her voice sent tremors to the people. They have all heard of the legend, how the emissary will be escorted by an entity as strong as the deity of the realm. The old man did not dare to refuse her words and raised his head to stand up straight. Yang Dao gave Laohu Bai a thumbs up. He said to everyone else. "Please stand up."

The rest of the people looked at the old man. He nodded and the rest of the people stood up. They all finally caught a glance of Yang Dao's handsome visage. The old man replied, "Pardon my rudeness, Lord. I am called Theseus."

The boy nodded and asked, "Mister Theseus, can you tell us how can you channel energy through this vessel? Is it not made of deadwood?"

The old man found a fire of curiosity in his eyes and replied with a smile, "Lord, even though the wood has been cut off and crafted in this shape. It is still a part of nature. Everything in nature can conduct source energy through it."

Yang Dao looked and nodded. He asked, "Can I see how you do it, please?" he was new to this word and did not know of the way things worked. He has learned that students should always stay humble with their teachers and thus he behaved like this.

Yang Dao may be a Dao Child, but it was a status that had little an influence on his mindset. He believed everyone should be treated with respect and affection. One of the biggest factors that made him develop such a mindset was the early years of his life in the orphanage. Tina was a religious lady, although Dao never found why he should believe in something non-existent he followed the good things taught in the holy scriptures.

Laohu Bai on the side had a very content expression on her face. The previous emissaries of heaven were all people elder than Yang Dao when they were discovered. These people had different backgrounds and different mindsets. Some misused the title of the Dao Child, while some were too humble to the point of being treated as a fool.

Such flaws in the character we're supposed to be eliminated by the familiars by guiding the Dao Child, however, since they disclosed their status as a servant, things never worked out the way they should have. Leading to chaos.

...

Theseus nodded with a big smile on his face and told Yang Dao to use his feet as a channel and then sense the ship with the source of energy. Just like how they found the energy inside themselves to interact with the world, now they use the body inside to interact with the energy inside the external things.

Yang Dao stood in a place with his eyes closed and quickly he found that the whole ship was filled with Source energy. After this, the second step was to use the ship as a medium to bend the surrounding element. The boy focused and moved the wind and soon the speed of the ship increased exponentially.

A loud voice sounded, "Theseus, you old man, can you not stop it. You made me die with a heart attack. Stop channeling your elemental energy. This is too fast. We will be fined by the kingdom of light. Do you take it for a Sky-streak event." the voice was loud, but it sounded very strong.

Yang Dao hurriedly stopped the manipulation of the energy. After a few seconds, a tall and strong figure appeared in front of Theseus. The man was seven feet tall, he had broad shoulders. It was as if Ryu Jinshi's cousin has appeared. Theseus said, "How many times I have told you to be polite? We have guests on the vessel."

Theseus raised his hand and points at Yang Dao. The burly figure took a glance at the boy and turned around. However, he froze and then looked at Yang Dao's clothes. then at Laohu Bai, who was looking at him with an eyebrow raised.

This guy ignored the Dao Child in her presence. The man smiled brightly and directly hugged Yang Dao. His actions surprised the boy a lot. This was the opposite of how old man Theseus.
