Another Sky God beauty quickly greeted Galemar. However, the latter turned his head to the side, his gaze landing on Ryu.
Even now, Galemar was enveloped in a silvery light that made it difficult even to see his face. If Ryu had his eyes, seeing through this light wouldn't have been a problem at all. However, as things stood now, Ryu didn't even send his Spiritual Sense in that direction, so it was hard to tell whether he would be able to see through it or not.
Ryu could feel the sudden pressure coming from his side. Even without probing Galemar, he could tell that there was a Half-Step Dao Pedestal Realm waiting from his side. The presence of Galemar was so far beyond the two Hidden Blade Sect members that it made them look no different from ants.
To the Ryu of Sacrum, even a Half-Step Sky God would be a joke. But, the dynamics here were very much different.
Ryu didn't trust anyone here, so the moment he felt such a threat, despite the fact his body remained relaxed, he was already prepared to explode with strength.
Without his Chaos Qi, beating Galemar would likely be impossible. But, if he had to choose between his life and exposing himself, the choice was obvious. In fact, even if he had to choose between just humiliation and exposing himself, he would choose the latter ten out of ten times.
He would rather be chased for the rest of his life than bow his head.
Sensing Ryu's relaxed state, Galemar raised an internal eyebrow. For someone an entire cultivation Realm beneath him to be so calm, it was most definitely a first. He could also sense a slight threat from Ryu, something that shocked him even further.
In truth, his curiosity toward Ryu was only as far as wanting to know who could afford this ticket as it was rare for even those who could afford it to use their means. It was even rarer that such a person would board from so far away from the True Martial World.
However, now, his curiosity was even deeper than that. He wondered where Ryu came from.
Galemar was prideful, but he wasn't standoffish. Feeling curious, he didn't mind walking over.
"Hello, my name is Galemar Iunae, might I ask for your name?"
The politeness of their Holy Son caught the two Sky God beauties off guard, but they knew better than to show it. They respectfully stood off to the side, keeping their lips sealed and their expression unreadable.
"Ryu Tatsuya."
Ryu didn't bother to hide his name as his mind worked quickly.
This Galemar definitely had a strong background, but when he said his name, nothing happened. So, Ryu bet that his name wouldn't cause a commotion either.
As expected, he was correct. The usual trembling earth and rumbling thunder didn't manifest.
It was much harder for a name to cause a place like the True Martial World to quake. In truth, even the names of Founding families had difficulty causing large scenes, only the strongest of Founding Clans could cause equivalent phenomena to what Ryu was used to in Sacrum.
This just went to show the kind of monstrous world Ryu was facing now.
"Tatsuya… An interesting name. Are you from a smaller world?"
"I am."
"As expected, it is rare for someone to take the name Dragon in the True Martial World, it might offend the wrong people. This would also explain your strong presence, it's rare for someone to have your momentum without being from a Higher Heaven here."
Ryu was offended by Galemar's words, his words were just as matter-of-fact as Ryu's own.
It was clear that Galemar had seen through some things, but even if he had, there was no way that he would guess that Ryu was
"If you need a Sect to join, you can consider my Radiant Star Sect."
"I plan to first travel and explore before I make a decision."
"Mm."
Galemar nodded and bid his farewells. Outside of this small greeting, he didn't say much else and simply went on his way.
Ryu let him leave, his expression not giving much away at all. Galemar left a fairly alright impression on him, but he still couldn't help but feel that Galemar just wanted to keep an eye on him.
It was possible that he was just being overly cautious. But, the fact that Ryu was from a smaller world might present a heavy temptation to some.
Ironically, the more talented you were in your home world, the more difficult the transition to the True Martial World would be. Even if you had latent talent comparable to Higher Heavens, it was all too easy for Lower Heavens to squash you like a bug.
There might not even be Clans with Heaven Grade Bloodlines on the First or Second Heaven, they'd likely only begin to appear on the Third Heaven, and even then they'd probably still be rare. That didn't even mention the other Talent Pillars.
It was possible that Ryu had already exposed himself a bit by eating all of that food.
However, Ryu only smiled internally. This sort of pressure, it had been a long time since he felt it. Things had become far too easy.
This True Martial World… he hoped it wouldn't disappoint him.
Ryu strolled to the exit platform of the Violet VIP region. Here, only he, Galemar, and their attendants stood. The Astral Ship slowly touched down, a vast world opening up ahead.
The moment Ryu took a breath, he felt his body thrum to life.
He restrained his Ice Jade Crystal Body from absorbing the qi through his skin, but the feeling was still intoxicating.
When his foot set down, a roar resonated with his mind.
'Oh, it seems that was the little push I needed.'
Ryu's Bloodlines entered the Lower Black Grade.
A smile tugged at Ryu's lips, but he soon frowned.
He realized that he couldn't fly in this world at all.
That was when he remembered something from Sarriel's notes. In the True Martial World, only Sky Gods could fly. In fact, only Fragmented Sky Gods and above could fly on the First Heaven, only False Sky Gods could fly in the Second Heaven, so on and so forth.
If he wanted to fly in the Ninth Heaven, he would need to become the highest existence among all there was. The Origin Sky God.
