Ryu knew what the problem was.
Soul Techniques were different in that they didn't have the same limitations as Body Realm and Qi Realm techniques. In fact, their restrictions are even looser than Body Realm techniques as well.
If Ryu was so inclined, he could use even a Chaos Grade Soul Technique. But whether or not he could bring out its strength and comprehend it was a different matter entirely.
[New Phase Golden Moon] was ultimately a Transcended Grade Dao Charm Soul Technique. This meant that the Dao that underlied it was the equivalent of a Transcended Grade Dao as well.
Right now, Ryu was so far away from that level that it was impossible to fathom the gap. The fact he managed to finish reading the technique at all was a testament to just the level of talent he had to begin with.
Ryu's current Dao was still at the Immortal Grade. If he wanted to reach the Transcended Grade, he would have to pass through three Immortal Grades, two Cosmic Grades, then evolve through Fragmented, False, True, and Perfect, all before finally reaching the Transcended Grade.
It was a huge journey to go through. However, that was only one aspect.
As far as Ryu could tell, the Dao Charm Soul Technique was built on the foundation of a Dynastic Dao, which was three levels beneath his own Hegemonic Dao. Still, if Ryu wanted a good chance at grasping this Dao Charm Soul Technique, he would have to push his own Dao to at least the Fragmented Dao levels before he could even think about it.
'Still, this is an excellent Dao Charm technique and the Frost Clan should have others. But I've spent too long here, I should fulfill my promise.'
Ryu walked out of the small hut, having taken nothing but the ring on his finger. He took control of the Legacy World and allowed Selheira a passage in.
"You succeeded?" She asked with a light smile.
"I did," Ryu nodded. "Like I said before, you can take 70%."
Selheira laughed lightly and shook her head. This Ryu was truly very stubborn. She could already tell that the new finger on his ring must be the choice he had made. But she also had a feeling that something wasn't quite right.
If she knew that this "choice" Ryu had made was actually just a promise he was keeping for the same of Flowing Frost, she really might not know what to say.
Selheira didn't think much about it and simply just entered the hut along with Ryu. But when she saw what was inside, her eyes couldn't help but widen.
Her head turned to Ryu and she didn't see even the slightest hint of reluctance in his eye. He was really willing to give up 70% of this? Just because he said so?
Many of the things here were simply invaluable, and this just seemed like the tip of the iceberg. Just the [New Phase Golden Moon] technique was enough Clans of the Sixth Heaven to wage war for. In fact, even Clans and Sects of the Seventh Heaven would throw a bid in to add this technique to the repertoire. It was simply too valuable. Dao Charm Soul Techniques were worth the same as Qi Realm techniques even a grade or two higher than them!
But this was just the tip of the iceberg.
Ignoring everything below the Ancestral Grade, there were tens of thousand of Ancestral Grade technique, hundreds of Fragmented, False and True Grade techniques, and there were even dozens of Perfect and Transcended Grade techniques, on top of three Omniscient Grade techniques, and though there were no Order Grade techniques, there was still the one Chaos Grade Soul Cultivation Technique here!
One again, Mental Realm Cultivation Techniques were even more valuable than Qi Realm Cultivation techniques! The price of this… Even the Ninth Heaven Sects and Clans would fight tooth and nail just for a fragment of this technique even if it was missing the attaching techniques!
And these were just the techniques! The alchemy formulas were just as valuable, and there were still the spatial rings filled with endless vaults of wealth. Selheira herself was quite wealthy, but she had never seen such a large collection of Qi Stones in the same place!
Selheira turned toward Ryu, her eyes slightly red.
The look in her eye made Ryu's brows furrow somewhat, not because it held any sinister intention, but rather because it looked as though Selheira was on the verge of crying.
Ryu couldn't understand why she was getting so emotional. Sure, these things were very valuable, but was there a need for this?
It wasn't that Ryu didn't understand the value of these things either. He had the accumulated wealth of his four Clans with him, but even that much wealth wasn't even worth a fraction of what was here.
If Ryu sold off everything in his possession right this moment, he was very well aware that he might be able to exchange for a single Mystical Grade technique that was here. And the number of Mystical Grade techniques were so numerous that Selheira hadn't even bothered to count them, starting from the Ancestral Grade instead.
This was how large the gap was.
But when Ryu said something, he meant it. Other than the ring currently on his finger, he hadn't hidden a single thing from Selheira.
Selheira shook her head, wiping away the tears that threatened to fall before they did.
She had originally not cared about this place very much. She, herself, was from the Seventh Heaven, although Ryu didn't know this. The legacy of a Perfect Sky God simply didn't mean much to her at all.
However, this wasn't just the legacy of a Perfect Sky God. It was a repository with a foundation greater than maybe even half of the Seventh Heaven's Clans and Sects. This sort of wealth was far beyond her imaginations.
And yet, without the slightest hesitation, Ryu had allowed her in, willing to hand over 70%.
She had seen Dao Companions kill each other over a fraction of what was here. She had seen her own Clan ripped apart and shaken by internal strife for barely a morsel of what she was looking at right now.
But this man…
Selheira looked toward Ryu, not knowing what to say. Even she couldn't say for certain why she was crying, but after she wiped away the first avalanche, more just kept coming.
