Pain pain pain Ryuu has never been in pain so much, it hurt so bad he wanted to run away but he could not move, 'Mommy Zhu Zhu someone save me', as fresh tears came from his eyes.
He felt so much pain that he could not even breath.
Veena:"Mahes!"
"I got it", replied Maheswara as put his hand on Ryuu's chest and began channelling ki into his body in order to make Ryuu start breathing again. while Veena was using acupuncture, to open all of Ryuu's spirit veins.
After what seemed an eternity, to Ryuu, Veena finished, her job then she disabled the formation on which Ryuu laid, also taking out the stick from his mouth, Ryuu whimpered, as he curled up in a ball while he laid there crying.
Nuwa,"Ryuu it is over, you did well.", but when Nuwa put her hand on him to comfort him, Ryuu started to shake as he started whimpering loudly.
Sylvana,"Oh dear, it seems baby brother got traumatized badly."
Maheswara:"Like you are one to talk you did the same thing when your spirit Veins were opened."
Nuwa picked Ryuu up held him tightly while saying soothing words in his ears. After a long time Ryuu finally calmed down before, before succumbing to sleep due to exhaustion.
They dressed Ryuu up before bringing him back home. Xiao Xiao looked worried at seeing here son looking worn out and pale.
Veena:"Do not worry sister, Ryuu pulled through it amazingly well, he is just tired, so he is sleeping. The whole ordeal was taxing nor only on his mind but also on his body, but do not worry he will be well after some rest, he might freak out when he wakes up."
Xiao Xiao nodded before replying sadly,"I wish he did not have to go through so much pain."
Veena:"Me too sister me too, after all this years the method I used is the only way I know gives the best result."
Xiao Xiao snorted before replying,"That is an understatement sister, I have never seen or heard anyone successfully open so many Spirit Veins, with hundred percent success, normally the so called egoistic and pompous Divine doctors can only open a couple, not only that the spirit veins sometimes suffer irreparable damage. Ryuu is really lucky to meet you."
Veena:"Please, sister he is our disciple this is nothing."
Xiao Xiao:"I know I might be rude but how strong are you people, the things I have seen here, the miracles I am seeing you perform, how strong are you."
Veena was silent contemplating whether or not to answer it truthfully before replying,"Sister, what is the strongest cultivation level do you know."
Xiao Xiao replied confused at such a question,"Dao-Father, but why?"
Veena just smiled at her before replying,"My family and I, we have to keep our presence under control, when we are near you or Ryuu if we release our presence accidentally, even a Dao-Father, will die. It doesn't matter for us where ever we go my family will always be in top 10 strongest of that place, that much strong we are."
Xiao Xiao was flabbergasted on hearing it, then she started laughing uproariously.
Veena sweat-dropped, thinking she might have broken Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao,"Unbelievable, I really cannot believe it my baby boy's luck is truly great, to learn from people of your stature, really unbelievable", then she remembered something which made her feel frightened,"If what you say is true then his Tribulation will be....", as she trailed off Veena continued for her,"It is given he will have a full set, but do not worry we will make sure he is ready."
Xiao Xiao:"Even if you say so it is mother's job to worry for her child."
Veena smiled at her before replying,"So true so true."
Suddenly she received a mental message from Celestia to gather in the throne room.
Veena:"Well sister I will leave for today I have work to do, and I think there may not be any lesson for a few days for Ryuu although his sisters may come to hang out with him. Well then take care and see you see."
Xiao Xiao nodded and waved her goodbye, before she tuned her attention to Ryuu, while she gently caressed him before laying a kiss on his forehead, as he slept soundly.
Meanwhile Veena's entire family was present inside the throne room, a specialised room created when they have meetings on very sensitive matters, the room is covered with countless arrays to ensure privacy to the point even a single amoeba can not enter there with out permission.
Celestia:"Welcome everyone", she began as everyone flooded in to the room.
Nuwa:"Sister you look like you have seen better days."
Celestia gave a weak smile, "Well I certainly have, but enough of me how have you been these days."
Everyone gave a brief review of the happenings, in the past few days. Some were utterly hilarious like
'HEAVEN SHAKING EARTH TREMBLING CHAOTIC ORDERLY EVIL SLAYING HAMMER WIELDING SYSTEM', but what broke the camel's back was 'Granny' Antariskh. Everyone had a good laugh at that, but what worried Celestia was Ryuu's Spirit vein opening operation.
After hearing everything Celestia took a deep breath, mentally preparing herself for the storm she is about to unleash.
Celestia with a deep breath began,"Please calm down everyone the reason I called you all here is because, i have finished analyzing Ryuu's past life."
That brought undivided attention of everyone on Celestia. but before she could say anything, she got interrupted by Nuwa:"Sister is he really my baby boy, has he really returned to us."
Antariskh:"Of course who else could he be if not my big brother.", she said with a proud smile.
At that everyone started to discuss how they will welcome Pangu back and how they would try to awaken his previous memory. While Celestia was preparing to stave off an incoming collosal headache, regarding the current direction of the discussion.
