Chapter 1535 Uproar
The uproar of Jojo's breakthrough was felt across thousands of kilometers. It felt as though the air was constantly being sliced apart by large scythes of regal blades, moving so quickly and violently that they seemed to supercharge the air itself, raising the temperature by steady increments of one or two degrees at a time.
It was the kind of breakthrough that these people had never felt before, the kind of breakthrough one might only expect to see on the Eighth Heaven.
Ryu's lip curled into a smirk. It seemed that it had all paid off.
No one but he knew of this power of his Dao, and if he had had a softer temperament in the past, he would have been more like Old Wan, starting off in the First Heaven and diligently raising up a small power of elites that would slowly grow into a wellspring of vibrant, undefeatable talent.
In a few million years, he'd probably be able to nurture an entire Sect and Clan worth of Ancient Dao users, likely with a handful of Founding Dao users sprinkled in for good measure. If that was matched with his alchemy and blacksmithing skill, not to mention his formation mastery, what chance would the Martial Gods stand?
In truth, if he laid down his blade, he could do the same for the Radiant Star Sect right this moment. It would even be easier than what he was thinking of previously because they already had the foundation of an Eighth Heaven Sect, especially if he was able to destroy the Fading Star Sect and fuse them back together.novE-lb/1n
Unfortunately, though Ryu had mellowed out quite a bit... he still had no interest in this matter.
What he was interested in wasn't the easiest path to rise to the top; he wanted to use his own fists to do so. While it was fun to do this once in a while, especially when there was something important like a Battle of Faith on the line, he had no intention of being like Old Wan, plotting and scheming from that background.
It could be said that this was why he loved the game of Domain so much.
Plotting and scheming was fun, but lounging around and waiting for months, years, decades, maybe even generations for a single plan to bloom properly, wasn't like him in the slightest.
Domain was like a microcosm of reality, and it could be quickly accelerated.
This plot alone, one that wasn't even truly finished just yet, had taken him over three months of constant pressure and back and forth travel to execute. The worst part was he hadn't even fought a single battle, and other than some accumulation of qi that took place passively due to his new constitution, nothing else happened.
If she went back to the Raging Inferno Sect now, they wouldn't even have the capital to punish her. They needed her, and her breakthrough had changed every aspect of their dynamic.
However, was that in her personality?
They had burned her once. What right did they have to partake in her ascend now?
Plus... she could feel that none of this was a coincidence, even right down to her sudden breakthrough.
It sensed odd that Ryu would merely come here to show her off. And if he was going to show her off, why not do so in Raging Inferno Sect territory? Was it a coincidence that they had been teleported to the only place that had these pillars?
Suddenly, her eyes widened. Apparently, she only realized now that there was a real beast beneath Ryu's feet.
How was it possible for this bastard to do so many impossible things? Did he understand how hard it was to tame a beast of the Seventh Heaven? Did he know what kind of trouble even bringing a tamed beast from the Sixth Heaven could cause here?
"You..."
Jojo suddenly felt exasperated. Did this man not understand how to take a rest for a moment?!
"I'm coming with you only so that I can kick your ass."
She spoke through gritted teeth, eventually taking Ryu's hand.
What she didn't expect was that she wouldn't even have the strength to resist before her waist was pulled into his body.
