Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Ryu stepped out of a bath, if it could even be called that. It felt like it had the depth of an ocean and was as vast as a lake. If it wasn't because Ryu knew that it was artificial, he would think he was really in the middle of the beauty of nature, even down to the delicate fragrance of the flowers that floated on the surface of the water.

The fragrance clung to Ryu, but was quickly overwhelmed by his own potent, intoxicated aroma. The strength of his Ice Jade Crystal Body had multiplied after its mutation due to the fusion of his Lightning and Fire Spirit Bodies. But, after his rebirth, it seemed to have grown even beyond that.

After eating three months worth of food, many of the shackles on Ryu's talents had been undone. In fact, he was naïve to think that it was only his Bloodlines that were affected. The truth was that it was practically the entirety of his body.

Outside of his Spiritual Foundation, Meridians and Heavenly Pupils, Ryu realized that practically all of his other talents were shackled.

His Bone Structure, his Bloodlines, even his qi seemed to be lacking.

Ryu had always used neutral qi, so he never thought of it being anything special. But, after three months in this place, he realized that there was even a difference in quality between their neutral qis.

The good news was that this never really mattered much for Ryu considering he could produce Chaos Qi, or so he thought.

After some experimentation, Ryu realized that even the Chaos Qi he was used to was sorely lacking. It seemed that as he moved, the Chaos Plane his meridians were connected to also changed. While he was in Sacrum, he was connected to their Chaos Plane. But now, as he approached the True Martial World, he was slowly being connected to their Chaos Plane.

Ryu wondered just how much stronger he would be using the True Martial World's Chaos Qi.

But, as soon as he had this thought, he exhaled a breath and checked himself.

If he wanted to use Chaos Qi, he had to make sure that it stayed within his body. That meant that he could only use it for techniques that didn't emit qi outside of himself, this included most attacks and defensive techniques.

The only times he could use Chaos Qi was with a movement technique or similarly body intensive techniques. And, even then, he would have to make sure that no one too powerful was around to see through him.

The only other exception was if he could ensure that he could kill his target.

If he was too lax with his Chaos Qi, almost anyone would be able to see through his Chaotic Silk Meridians.

In Sacrum, his meridians were only known for their sturdiness. But, it was clear that in this place, things were very different. In fact, that Sky God beauty had let it slip that she thought he had a Heaven Grade bloodline, and that alone was enough for her to fall over herself trying to get into his bed.

If a Heaven Grade Bloodline had such an exaggerated effect, what about the real grade of his Bloodlines?

Ryu didn't like it, not even a small bit. It wasn't like him at all to have to hold back and hide himself, but he also knew that it would be far too foolish to do things as he normally did. He would have to find a way to keep his heart firm while somehow following his original intentions less. It left him wanting to roar into the skies.

'Fine. I'll give you all a handicap, you'll need it.'

Ryu's gaze flashed with a cold killing intent toward the whole of the True Martial World. He would get his revenge back for this in spades when he stood at the top of the world.

If others knew that Ryu was pissed off at an entire world that had yet to truly offend him, who knew how they would react. But, this was unfortunately how deep Ryu's pride ran. Even this small matter left him in a foul mood.

His flames flared, dancing across his marble-like skin and evaporating all of the water that touched him.

The little butterfly flew into action, spinning around Ryu and leaving him in delicate robes of white and sky blue.

Ryu strapped his grandfather's bow to his back and tightened the Glove of Order around his fingers.

He still felt that this Glove of Order had secrets he had yet to see through. Somehow, this seemingly simple treasure from a Mortal Plane Sect had survived a battle of Sky Gods without a scratch. He would have to see what it could do in the future.

When Ryu stepped out, his temperament shifted.

"Since my mother left you to me, I'll take care of you well. From now on, your name is Little Silk."

The little butterfly, or rather Little Silk now, flapped her wings, allowing the sound of chimes to tickle Ryu's ears.

The sound helped Ryu's heart calm, his previously foul mood easing something.

'I'm close to allowing my Bloodlines to break through the Peak Common Grade and enter the Lower Black Grade. Just an extra little push and there should be a qualitative change to my body's strength.'

Ryu could only shake his head that three months worth of Heaven Grade food hadn't been enough. It was likely that he would need more than just food, he would probably need to see what alchemic recipes he could find that targeted improving the body.

Of course, these pills would have to be refined by himself through his Dao. He refused to allow any impurities to accumulate in his body, it would only slow his process in the future.

Now that he didn't have access to the Incubator any longer, this was the best approach.

"Young master Ryu!"

The Sky God beauty had realized by now that Ryu wouldn't fall for her advances, but she was still endlessly polite and settled for forming a good relationship. By now, Ryu knew that her name was Skya.

Just as Skya greeted Ryu, though, another one of the only three doors on the Violet VIP floor opened, the Holy Son of the Twin Phase Merchant Group walking out.
