From the end of the road, Mingyue could see a carriage that was coming to her place.

"Is that Dad carriage?" Mingyue asked Xia Longyi.

After finished with her bath, Mingyue was currently standing outside of her house. Usually, she was not allowed to go out of the house for a various reason. But because of some kind of ceremony, she was allowed to take a good look at the outside world.

[I cannot wait for it, the outside world!] Mingyue muttered expectantly.

"Yeah, it is Xia family's personal carriage. Usually, Grandpa is the one riding it, but he prefers riding a horse than the carriage. So this carriage usually is left at Xia family's mansion inside Star Royal City." Xia Longyi explained about their grandfather habits.

Even though Xia Longyu, Mingyue's grandfather had returned to the domain, he was a very busy person. Patrolling, hunting the beast, become combat instructor, and many more. Xia Longyi told her that their grandfather is a very loved person in their family domain, even though Xia Longyu had a very short fuse.

"Yueyueee….. " A tall man came out from the carriage, was rushing to her side and was tried to hug Mingyue and the little dumpling.

Of course, Mingyue tried to avoid him, but her body moved too slow.

Her Dad, Xia Wushan hugged Mingyue and little dumpling tightly, and then spun them around.

".. No! Release me!" after failed to hold her temper, at last Mingyue exploded.

Even after throwing her punch and kick anywhere, Xia Wushan did not mind Mingyue's retaliation.

"Err.. Dad? We are short on time, so we should immediately go" Xia Longyi threw a lifeline to Mingyue.

Released from the evil claw, they finally rode the carriage and on the way to Star Royal City.

The member of this journey is Xia Wushan, Xia Longyi, Xia Longshi, and Mingyue. Of course, there are some guards with them. Mingyue's Mom, Lan Bingyue couldn't leave the domain because of some administrative works. The four of us were staying in one carriage.

"Well, do not get mad at Dad okay?" Xia Wushan tried to console Mingyue, but she just pretended to not hear anything.

"How about I tell you a story when I stayed outside of dominion?"

Seeing Mingyue listened to his word, Xia Wushan became spirited. "There is a weird accident in the Fire Kingdom four years ago." Xia Wushan began to tell a story slowly.

My heart skipped a moment.

[Four years ago? How can it happen at a similar time? Well maybe it only happens in the similar time accidentally.] Mingyue consoled herself, did not realize that she was the big culprit of that accident.

"This accident happened suddenly. You know what spirit is right?" Xia Wushan continued his story while teaching Mingyue and Xia Longshi.

"Many people call spirit is a nature's blessing, some people say the spirit is a guardian. Well, they are not wrong. But that is not the point of what spirit is."

"Spirit is something we cannot see or feel. We are only aware of spirit when we have the capability to draw strength from spirit. The strength we draw from itself is varied, depend on what kind of strength we want to draw. We call them Elemental."

"Well, your Dad's Elemental is fire and your Mom's Elemental is ice. Of course, your dad can draw strength other than fire, but it will not be as strong as fire." Xia Wushan explained slowly. Seeing Xia Longshi listened to his explanation and Mingyue that was falling into deep thinking, he felt happy.

[I might lose 4 year worth of time together with them, but I would teach them many things. I would pamper them as much as possible, I believed Bingyue will not blame me] Xia Wushan smiled in his mind. Not having contact with his newborn babies is a very hard thing, especially for four years.

"Spirit is a good thing you know. You can heal wound faster, cure poison, strengthening vision and hearing, and many other things. And that is connected to our Yueyue" Xia Wushan smiled warmly to me.

"Ceremony of Acknowledgement?" Mingyue muttered slowly.

"Yeah, that is right. There are few steps before we can draw strength from spirit, and this is the very first step. The ceremony of Acknowledgement. We can check your elemental affinity, and also check your connection with spirit.

For elemental affinity, there is fire, water, wind, earth, ice, light, dark, and many more. It is said that for some secluded tribe, they have their own unique Elemental. But what you have to remember just four basic elements. Fire, water, earth, and wind.

And for connection with spirit, it will define how much strength you can ask from spirit from one connection. I will continue this topic after Mingyue finishes her Ceremony of Acknowledgement. " Xia Wushan stopped his explanation at the same time Mingyue smelled some beast nearby.

"Armored Rhino, a tier two fierce beast. But from its size, it should be a young fierce beast, should be comparable to tier one. Let's leave this to guards." Explained by Xia Wushan. Seeing Mingyue and Xia Longshi interested in the Fierce Beast, Xia Wushan could only laugh in his mind.

"You could peek, but both of you must not step out of carriage"

Mingyue observed the way human of this world fight. She saw a part of the Law of the World around guards, some stay as it is, but some change into flame.

[Looks like that is what Dad called Elemental. Converting Law of the World.] Mingyue continued her observation.

The guard that created fire immediately focused the fire into his weapon. And those that shrouded by the Law of the World condensed it into their body.

[Hmm… Summoning Law of the World, draw some of the essence, condense it, focus it into any part your body or weapon. Well, it is interesting. Depending on the outside force to increase fighting power. They are different with cultivator whose absorbs spiritual qi in the air and use that qi to temper their body. When they fight, cultivator will never depend on outside force.]

[It is kind of impossible for people in this world if they want to temper their body using Law of the World essence, their body will definitely explode.]

[Even cultivator couldn't be rash with the Law of the World]

[Well, their weapon is also unique. There are some carvings on the side of blade. Looks like those carvings are capable to hold the Law of the World, even if only for a short time] Mingyue smiled in amusement. She was making sure that I noted everything that I observed.

[By going to the outside world, I would be able to see and understand many things. Even this short journey gave me so much interesting things to note. Looks like I will have to find a chance to wander in this world] Mingyue noted this plan in her mind.

While Mingyue was observing the way guards are fighting, the fight has already ended. Only three guards were lightly wounded. They immediately tied the carcass into their horses and dragging it on the way.

[Looks like there is no storage ring in this world. It is very inconvenient. Later it is better for me to create something similar to storage ring.] Mingyue was surprised by this fact. In fact, storage ring was something that every cultivator had.

Except for that fierce beast ambush, they had a smooth journey and arrived when the night arrived.

…

After passing through the city gate, the carriage arrived at Xia family mansion.

"Welcome to Xia family's mansion." Xia Wushan said with a smile.

"Well, the sun has set, so we cannot see anything even if we go to the city. Tomorrow after Mingyue finish her ceremony, you guys can explore this city"

Hearing that last sentences, Mingyue's mind was filled with anticipation.

[I have spent my time inside the house, now I am allowed to explore this city. He he he. . .]

The night ended and morning arrived.
