Chapter 278: Underestimated
\'Put this into its proper perspective. Even an expert on your grandparents\' level isn\'t worth a single percent of a Sky God. Of course, this obviously won\'t give you a hundredth the strength of a Sky God, but the benefits will still be immeasurable.
\'Right now, your Heavenly Wind allows you the speed of an entire Cultivation Realm above. Once it reaches that singular percentage point, gaining the speed of two Cultivation Realms above your own won\'t be impossible.
\'As for your Origin Flame, its true abilities will begin to manifest. Your mind will be clearer, your comprehension abilities will take a massive step forward, and it will no doubt use its abilities as Emperor of Flames to help the hidden abilities of your other Flames to awaken faster.\'
Ryu finally felt a weight on his heart drop. At least he could work with this.
Of course, he knew that the Northern Heavenly Wind\'s ability to allow him to jump Realms of speed would lessen as the gap between Realms largened, and he also knew that comprehension abilities were relative to your cultivation Realm, but these were still results he was happy with.
\'Did you think this was all?\' Ailsa said with a mischievous smile. \'With the Realm Heart, I will be able to display more of my true strength as well. Since it acts as a stand-in for the Heavens, it can project its own Ethereal Realm as well, lessening the burden on the both of us.
\'Of course, this will be limited to the Half-Step Immortal Ring Realm since it is only a Mortal Realm Heart, but this is already more than enough. I will be able to do much more for you like this and my senses will sharpen considerably and won\'t be as dampened by this Plane of Existence.
\'However, this pales in comparison to the true benefits that can be split into three categories: Evolution, Natural Enlightenment, and Recognition!\'
Ryu didn\'t know what the other two meant, but when he heard Natural Enlightenment, he tensed up.
\'Evolution. The Realm Heart evolves incredibly slowly on its own. After all, it lacks intelligence and must remain in the Abyss to protect itself. Plus, it has to sustain the existence of its Small Realm, or else it will all be for naught. However, once you leave this place, two of those issues will be solved immediately. Firstly, you\'ll be far more intelligent in guiding it. And, secondly, this Small Realm will collapse when you take its Realm Heart out, thus relieving it of a massive burden.
\'Though even I can\'t fathom the amount of treasures that would be necessary to evolve a Realm Heart to even the Immortal Realm Heart stage, let alone any higher, it would still most definitely be worth it. Your best option would be to begin to swallow Small Realms one after another, beginning with this one, of course.\'
Ailsa continued. \'Natural Enlightenment. You know well that the Natural Order is split between two categories. Mortal Endowment and Natural Enlightenment. Mortal Endowment further has two categories, the Elements and Birthed Phenomena. But these clearly pale in comparison and power to the concept of a Natural Enlightenment!
\'Natural Enlightenments are enigmatic concepts the hold the most fundamental secrets of all of existence. Even more fundamental than the elements themselves!
\'Every Realm Heart is the key to a Natural Enlightenment. And though I\'m not one hundred percent certain which Natural Enlightenment this Realm Heart contains, I can guess that it likely has something to do with vitality, recovery and regrowth…\'
Thinking of quick growth rates of the vegetation and foliage all around the Mortal Qi Small Realm, Ryu could understand why Ailsa would think this…
\'Finally, there\'s Recognition. It\'s said that it is impossible to gain the full support of a Protector Spirit unless one has a Realm Heart or can enter the Breath of Quintessence State of Meditation… Unfortunately, even the Spirit Seeking Lilies cannot horseshoe you into the highest State of Meditation like this. But now that you have a Realm Heart… Refining a Protector Spirit and becoming the true owner of a True Realm isn\'t impossible!
\'These are just the core benefits, but there are many smaller but still potent goods that you can slowly come to understand. One of which is related to making tribulations easier to handle…\'
Maybe now Ryu didn\'t understand the magnitude of these words, but one day he would understand why Ailsa left Recognition for the very last…
As for the current Ryu, he was thinking of something maddening.
Even though he could now cultivate, his meridians were still connected to nothing, so how could he possibly continue with his Severings? To make things worse, his cultivation speed would drastically slow down due to the constantly leaking energy…
So, he thought to hell with it all. Why not skip the Spiritual Severing Realm entirely and directly attempt to pry open his Divine Vessels?
His meridians were the supposedly made of the third strongest material in all of existence, right? It was this very double-edged sword that landed him in this situation in the first place…
Well, since they were so grand as to put him in this predicament, why not truly put them to the test?
The reason one must complete their Severings first was because Qi Refinement meridians were too fragile. Only by tempering the meridians with Severings would one became to withstand the energy influx that resulted from opening one\'s Divine Vessels.
However, for Ryu who had Chaotic Silk Meridians, would this really be problem?
\'I\'ll skip the Realm entirely!\' Ryu\'s eyes flashed.
Though Ailsa\'s lip twitched, in the end, she didn\'t lift a finger to stop him. Since Ryu wanted to lift a massive middle finger to the Heaven\'s so-called Order, she\'d let him do so.
Who said one couldn\'t always complete their Severings later on in cultivation?
Neither yet understood that the decision they took today would birth the Chaotic Silk Meridians in its truest form for the first time in countless epochs… Who would have ever believed that Meridians already given the highest Ancestral Grade would actually have still been underestimated to this extent…?
