A Chaos Sky God was just a step away from the pinnacle of the world. Even in the Ninth Heaven, they were revered and respected, the ground they walked upon worshipped to no end. For the Frost Clan to be able to lay their hands on such a legacy, even if it was incomplete, just went to show just the sheer amount of Karmic Luck this family had.
'Interesting. It's a good thing that I didn't move on to redo the Divine Vessel Realm just yet. This selection of Earth Grade pills is far better than the ones I would have to choose from.'
When it came to the Common and Black Grade, the First Heaven had vast enough stores of accumulation to have pretty much them all, even if they lacked in the number of variations and changes. However, the higher in grade you went, the more restraining being in the mere First Heaven would be.
To put things into perspective, there were a few thousand Earth Grade pill formulas in the Radiant Star Sect. However, there were billions of formulas here for the same grade. If it wasn't for his Origin Flame, Ryu didn't even want to think about how long it would take him to memorize all of them even with his Immortal Ring Realm cultivation.
'Ah… This…'
Ryu shifted his attention and landed on several Soul Cultivation techniques, one of which especially called out to him.
[Swallowing Darkness Mantra].
It had to be remembered that the Soul Cultivation method that Ryu relied upon initially was the [Tribulation Nine Clouds]. He had chosen this technique because his soul talent was poor and he wanted to use Tribulation Lightning to make up for his weaknesses.
However, ever since he formed his Indestructible Soul, and then apparently regained his Perfect Blackbody Soul, he no longer needed to use this method. Ultimately, right now, he was using quite crude methods to accumulate Spiritual Qi in his Spiritual Sea. In fact, it could be said that if not for his Soul Talent to be of the Ancestral Grade, he wouldn't have been able to make much progress at all.
This [Swallowing Darkness Mantra], though, was a true Soul Cultivation Method, one designed purely to refine qi into Spiritual Qi and expand one's Spiritual Sea. In addition, it was especially compatible with those with Darkness Soul Natures, and additionally perfect to be paired with a Perfect Blackbody.
Although Ryu didn't have a Darkness Soul Nature and he didn't plan to form one since it didn't match his Dao Path, his Perfect Blackbody Soul could replicate Darkness Soul Natures with ease. In fact, it would even be more accurate to say that Darkness Soul Natures were just attempting to replicate his Perfect Blackbody.
With his mantra by his side, Ryu's soul cultivation speed would be even faster and he would be able to more efficiently accumulate and condense Spiritual Qi. With a more efficient technique, he would be able to push the limits of his body further without having to be worried about strengthening it any more just yet.
'This is a…'
Ryu's brows rose. This mantra was categorized as a Chaos Grade technique and it should be the self-created technique of the Chaos Sky God.
In the True Martial World, beyond the Ancestral Grade wasn't the Origin Grade. Rather, the True Origin Grade was a pinnacle class technique even beyond the Chaos Grade.
The ranking system went from Ancestral Grade, to Fragmented Grade, to False Grade, up until the Order Grade, the Chaos Grade, and finally, the Origin Grade. Of course, these rankings followed the very same order of the nine stages of Sky God.
Pills and treasures also followed such a ranking system as well.
This Chaos Grade Soul Cultivation Technique was more than what Ryu could have hoped to find in this place. Although, it was unfortunately incomplete.
'The entire mantra is here, but the Dao Charm and the supporting techniques of it are not. This must be what they meant by the legacy having been incomplete. But according to this journal entry, the Legacy World will open up again in a few millennia. If I can make it to the Sixth Heaven by then, I should have a chance to enter.
'It will be more difficult, though, as now the entrance has been exposed.'
Ryu didn't mind or care, though. When the time came, anyone who stood in his way could die. In a few millennia, he would be countless times stronger than he was now.
Ryu ignored everything else and sat down. He easily entered a state of hyperfocus and he began to cultivate the [Swallowing Darkness Mantra].
The dense black that was now his Spiritual Sea reacted almost immediately, bubbling and quickly condensing.
It took several hours, but all of the imperfections and impurities in Ryu's Spiritual Sea were washed away, the speed of which would have definitely shocked Flowing Frost if she was still here.
Although Ryu's Spiritual Sea shrank to just 20% of what it once was, he felt like the strength of his soul had increased by more than tenfold. In fact, it felt like twentyfold for more of an accurate estimate.
The strength of his soul now was enough to dwarf even most Soul Refinement experts.
Ryu exhaled a breath and his silvery eyes flashed with an all-encompassing darkness before it faded away.
'My vision became a bit clearer again…'
Ryu nodded to himself. It seemed that all of his cultivation improvement would help, and he had a feeling that improving in his body would be especially helpful.
This aside, the best part of this was that Ryu had room to grow his Spiritual Sea by five times once more before he had to worry about the weakness of his body.
This was truly an excellent technique.
Ryu rose to his feet and began to look through the techniques once again. This time, he really wanted to see the Dao Charm Soul Techniques that the Frost Clan had accumulated.
Of them all, one especially stood out… One with a bright golden moon.
