Grand Ancestral Bloodlines
chapter-1205

Ryu twirled the technique jade he had just gotten. Despite the fact he had already picked up on such a thing, his expression was calm and he sunk his mind into the jade. After a moment, he had already memorized the circulation pattern and rotated it once.

Almost instantly, the pressure in his stomach alleviated, the dense energy of the God Beasts he had eaten earlier weakening and dispersing throughout his body. After a second circulation, it almost vanished entirely, and Ryu exhaled a breath, feeling much lighter on his feet.

It made sense that he would be targeted. The same conclusion the attendant had come to, others could as well. The main allure was obviously his wealth. He had just eaten in one of the most expensive restaurants in the whole of the Sixth Heaven, and then he had casually used a God Crystal to pay for a Mystical Grade technique, this much was just inevitable.

To these people, he was a fat sheep without backing. If they didn't target him, they would be too stupid.

However, depending on who it was, he would deal with the situation differently.

He currently needed more information than a mere map could provide him. The memories of the Favor Alchemy Sky God were from far too long ago and the Sixth Heaven should have undergone a great number of changes since then. Plus, there was also the matter of the powers he might alert by opening up this Legacy World in the first place, he had to be cautious with how he approached these matters.

Anyone who could enter this city to begin with wasn't a normal individual, they wouldn't be common bandits. But even so, no one who would target him for bringing out a couple God Crystals would be of exceptionally high status either.

There were two possibilities.

The first was a lower tier Sky God, likely Fragmented or False. Such a person would likely have recently broken through, and having used all their wealth on their breakthrough, they were low on funds and thus willing to stoop this low.

The second was a genius disciple of any number of Sect. To such individuals, they wouldn't feel like they were stooping low because Ryu would be around the same cultivation as them. In addition, God Crystals would be quite tempting to them. Such a person likely wouldn't be a top tier genius, otherwise their seniors would be doting on them constantly and they wouldn't go so far just for a few God Crystals.

Ryu's Void Spiritual Sense flourished. Invisible butterflies formed of his Spiritual Qi rose into the skies, quickly scattering.

This was a method of the Magus Sky God. He had sensed the intent, but the actual location was harder to pinpoint. If not for his Magus Lock sensing someone probing him, he would have missed this as well. It was obvious that whoever this person was, their Mental Realm was not bad.

Unfortunately, Ryu didn't know of the standard of the Sixth Heaven intimately, so he couldn't make an accurate conclusion just with this alone.

Soon, the invisible butterflies swarmed two individuals.

Ryu's gaze narrowed. It seemed that both of his theories were correct, it seemed that he was quite lucky.

Shaking his head, Ryu realized that there wasn't a chance to get the information he wanted... Unless?

Ryu's gaze narrowed.

...

Ryu glided through the wilderness, his steps light. His body was brimming with energy and he even felt that his body had become somewhat stronger after his meal. Using Essence and Chaos Qi to process food was indeed a bit overkill, but it helped Ryu to maintain his advantage.

The tree beneath him hardly swayed as he pushed off of it, his speed suddenly accelerated.

To his back, he heard a sneer.

With a flash, a figure appeared before him.

A young man stood tall and straight, a haughtiness between his brows. It was clear and obvious that this was the Fragmented Sky God who had just broken through, he barely looked a day over 18 years old, but this was normally what happened when one broke through to such a major realm.

'Interesting, he didn't attack immediately,' Ryu thought to himself.

There was really no reason for a Fragmented Sky God to block his path like this, that could allow unwanted variables. If he was smart, he would have just attacked to kill immediately.

'This makes things more annoying. The odds that the other one will step out now are nearly zero, Ryu shook his head inwardly.

He had wanted the Cosmic Seed Realm expert to appear first so that he could capture them with his chains. Then he would stuff him into the golden moon world then used the Quivering Spectral Wings to escape the Sky God. But now things were more complicated.

'Maybe I should just try an information organization instead...'

Ryu could have taken this route from the beginning, but he hadn't wanted to. Information organizations were exactly that... information organizations. You could buy anything from them given the right price, but that also meant that anyone who came to get information from them was also part of the menu.

If Ryu asked a specific enough set of questions, he would likely get flagged and the organization would take advantage. That would end up making his life more complicated, not less so.

As expected, the Cosmic Seed Realm expert that had been trailing him came to a stop.

The Fragmented Sky God frowned when he noticed that Ryu wasn't paying attention to him. There was indeed a reason he had stopped, and that was because he had heard rumors about the Radiant Star Sect, they had made it all the way up here. However, since it had only been two years, not many knew what was real and fake, so he wanted to probe Ryu first.

What he didn't expect was for Ryu to not show any sort of fear whatsoever.

Suddenly Ryu's gaze sharpened and his aura flourished. Before the Fragmented Sky God could react, Ryu vanished into thin air.

When he appeared again, he was already behind the Cosmic Seed Realm expert, a sky sundering rain of illusory chains swooping down from above.
