Grand Ancestral Bloodlines
chapter-1929

Just with this Primordial Yin swimming in his body, Ryu felt that he was able to strip himself of all impurities. No part of his body was capable of escaping this, not his soul, not his Meridians, not even his Spiritual Foundation.

Just by virtue of cultivating, Ryu would be able to constantly allow this Primordial Yin to swallow up any impurities that he gathered into the future.

This shouldn't be underestimated. That was because also by virtue of cultivating, he would be gathering impurities onto his body.

He had thought that just by using Spiritual Herbs and 100% Pure Pills he could avoid this, but he realized after his interaction with Wobbling Fairy that his concept of Impurities was far too lax and incomplete.

The reality was that there were impurities even in the air he breathed. Every time he gathered qi from his Meridians, there would be more that swarmed in from the Chaos Plane. Every time he improved his soul, there would be more.

No matter where you looked in the world, there were impurities. And because of that, Ryu had been unwittingly carrying around shackles that he didn't even feel.

The moment it was gone, even without cultivating, he felt a qualitative change in his Constitution. That being his Child of Order and Chaos Constitutions.

They both flowed with impossible smoothness and his combat prowess had taken another massive leap forward.

Before, it was necessary for Ryu to use Heaven and Earth's Gate if he wanted to fight an Omniscient Sky God. He also wasn't sure if that would even work if he was facing off against the truest geniuses—at least the true geniuses of this world, that is.

But now he didn't think it was necessary. With his Perfect Sky God foundation and his newly minted Constitution, he should be able to fight with them head to head while relying on his other abilities.

However, if he took this step, he might not even need to rely on higher combat awareness and skill at all. It was potentially possible that he would finally be able to match them in terms of raw power alone.

As for how he would do that… it was hinged on this new Body Realm Cultivation Method that he was forming.

He had already felt that using Light and Darkness would be the path for him. But after some thought, he realized that maybe this path was too simple. It didn't take enough advantage of what he had.

While he was dual cultivating with Wobbling Fairy, he realized that there was a change happening even to his Natural Treasures. Their impurities were being weeded out, and they were also slowly growing more powerful.

Ultimately, these Natural Treasures were capped at the height of the True Martial World, which technically meant that if Ryu went to find those same Natural Treasures in this world, they would be a level higher.

But after Wobbling Fairy stripped them of all their impurities, they had truly reached perfection.

On the one hand… this made it even more difficult for Ryu to control them. They had grown so powerful now that even observing them might crush his soul and rend his spirit.

On the other… this provided an opportunity to do something that might very well be insane.

Temper his body.

It wasn't that Ryu had never thought of doing this before. Tempering your body with natural treasures was the most obvious path of Body Realm Cultivation.

The main issue was that harming your body was one thing, but finding a method to cleanse and heal it afterward was another thing entirely.

If he took even a strand of these energies into himself, he would die. Where would the tempering come at that point?

Even if he managed to survive, how would he expel it? If that energy just kept rampaging around, there would be no opportunity for his body to gain a rebirth in the first place.

That was where two other factors came in.

The first was the most obvious: the Holy Worlds.

Although the Holy World standards were now far beneath that of the Natural Treasures, they were still a lightning rod of sorts that Ryu could make use of.

With the insights from them, Ryu would be able to temper his body with Darkness, Light, and Ice.

However, this was the less important of the two factors. That was because the most important factor was the fact that the properties of the Natural Treasures had changed after their Impurities were expelled.

They were far more powerful, and as such should be far more difficult to control. But on the other hand, their erratic tendencies were cut down and they were far easier to predict.

Essentially, much of the lower-case chaos of the Natural Treasures had been stripped away after Wobbling Fairy got a hold of them, only leaving what could be easily predicted by Ryu behind.

If Ryu could create a landscape where he could easily predict what they would do and when, he would be able to use them to essentially carve out a model of Body Realm Cultivation in his body…

Quite literally at that.

It would be an extremely painful process, but the last thing Ryu feared was pain.

The trouble with this approach, though, was that Ryu wasn't satisfied with just three attributes. He wanted to reform his body using them all.

That meant that he not only needed to prepare a method for Light, Darkness, and Ice, but he also needed one for the others as well. He would need to form a foundation for the first three that wouldn't interfere with the ones that came later.

And that was almost impossible considering he didn't have as much of an understanding of them.

It seemed, then, that he only had two choices. Either give up on the perfect Body Realm Cultivation Method he was chasing after, or wait until he could gather a Holy World of them all.

Usually, Ryu would choose the latter…

If it wasn't for the fact he felt he had a solution to this as well.
