Chapter 1221 Absolute Domain
"I don\'t want to be your Dao Companion anymore."
She looked down, a gloominess between her brows.
Ryu chuckled, finding this to be quite amusing.
"What are you laughing about?" The Favor Alchemy Sky God looked up sharply.
"My First Wife might be a Martial God, but I plan to destroy them in the future. They\'ve touched what they shouldn\'t have touched."
The Favor Alchemy Sky God looked at Ryu deeply as though to confirm whether or not he was telling the truth. But even after she seemed to, she still snorted and looked away. It seemed that the information that Ryu had just divulged was enough for her to be very unhappy and she wasn\'t done with her tantrum yet.
With a wave of his hand, Ryu took out a glass coffin.
"Take it," he said. "But two of those three Heavenly Favor Pills are mine. In addition, I will need you to handle the creation of my concubine\'s body."
Ryu reached out a hand with a plain expression. He had come here for all three of the pills, but since the Favor Alchemy Sky God said she needed to use one to succeed in fusing with Flowing Frost\'s body, he was alright with giving one up.
Favor Alchemy Sky God\'s gaze lit up as she scurried up. One would have thought that she was looking into the window of a candy store. But, this was most definitely not the reaction a little girl would have to a dead body, so that completely ruined the illusion that remained.
With a wave of her hand, the tome on the altar above zoomed toward Ryu almost too fast. He was forced to take three steps back just to catch it and stabilize himself. The tome closed, and above it, a jade bottle appeared with two almost foul looking pills within it. They looked as though they had been formed of mud pies, something that was far from Ryu\'s imagination of what these pills should have looked like.
However, Ryu didn\'t think that the Favor Alchemy Sky God was tricking him, especially when she wrapped her arms around the glass coffin and suddenly zipped into the golden moon world before he could even react.
Ryu raised an eyebrow. He had planned on separating with the Favor Alchemy Sky God. Like he had said, having her by his side would only dull his blade, and he really didn\'t need her for alchemy either. Although she was more skilled than he was, there was a ceiling to how good lower level pills could be, and they had both reached it. At best, she would have some unique ideas and perspectives he had never considered before.
Though that would be quite powerful as a tool for future improvement, Ryu didn\'t like the potential tradeoff.
"Why did you enter my ring?" Ryu asked.
The Favor Alchemy Sky God didn\'t answer. At first, Ryu thought she didn\'t hear him, but then he remembered who he was dealing with. She was probably hoping that not answering would make him forget about her. Sometimes she really was no different from a little kid.
"I know you\'re there," Ryu said, shaking his head.
"I need time."
"What are you talking about?"
"When I assimilate with this body and swallow the pill, my cultivation will return to nothing. It will only take me a few hours to a day to return to the Fragmented Sky God Realm, but it will probably take a few years to return to the Transcended Sky God Realm. I need to enter a semi-secluded state."
A semi-secluded state was one a cultivator would go into usually when they were taking part in a mass cultivating event, like being part of a large number of people observing a Daoist Painting or a Sword Scar or a Holy Battlefield.
This was to say that the Favor Alchemy Sky God would have one eye closed and one eye open. It was enough to focus on her cultivation, but not to a great enough extent that she wouldn\'t be aware of what was happening around her.
This made sense since she was just recultivating steps she had already gone through.
Ryu shook his head. It could be worse.
He looked down at the tome in his hands. "What is this?"
"Cultivation techniques."
When he heard this, Ryu thought about just tossing it to the side. He hadn\'t really come here for cultivation techniques, and nothing about the Favor Alchemy Sky God\'s memories made her seem like a powerhouse. He had enough things to worry about, like delving into the inherited memories of his Bloodlines. Now that they had awakened, it should be easier to see some secrets.
However, after a moment, Ryu decided to look out of curiosity. She had refused to answer, but maybe her cultivation techniques had some secrets that might reveal something about who she was really.
Almost immediately, Ryu\'s attention was caught.
[Absolute Domain]...\'
Despite the domineering sounding name, this wasn\'t an attacking or area control ability, nor was it defensive... It was a movement technique broken into several points. To Ryu\'s shock, there was a Common, Black, Earth, Heaven, Mystique, and Ancestral Dao Charm version of this technique. On top of that, there were a complete nine God Grades and methods of integrating it with compatible Daos.
Ryu didn\'t know what to say. This was the very first time he had ever seen such a thing. Was this how the inheritances of those powerful Sects and Clans worked? Just what kind of advantage would you have practicing the exact same techniques throughout your lifetime?
For Ryu, he was already getting somewhat frustrated. It felt like every time he mastered a technique, he had to leave it behind. He had mastered eight Dao Charm weapon techniques, but he had hardly gotten to use them because they had already become useless to him.
But if things were like this... It was a game changer.
