Chapter 1896 Clear Mirror Dao Heart


    She wasn''t just naive, but she was also a bit simple-minded. Her thoughts weren''t very nimble... at least that was Ryu''s first impression.


    It was impossible for a cultivator to be truly foolish. Even if one was born with below-average intelligence, much like beauty, it would only increase with time and qi absorbed.


    Of course, it was possible that things were different with Nether Qi. Ryu had gained a large amount of it, and his understanding had deepened, but it wasn''t to the point of saying that he understood it just as much as he did his Real Qi... which was funny considering he didn''t think himself to be a great scholar of Real Qi either.


    That said, there were methods of cultivation that Ryu knew that while they might increase the perfection of the body, did little to nothing for the brain. Those were rare forms of Body Cultivation, and they tended to also be extraordinarily powerful as well.


    Of course, the trade-off was that one''s mind wouldn''t be nearly as nimble as other cultivators. But did that matter if your body was harder than most treasures you would come across?


    ''Hm, interesting thought...''


    Ryu thought about these Body Realm cultivation methods not because they seemed to be perfect for him. He had modified the Nine Pillar Flame Sect''s methods, but he still wasn''t completely happy. It was like he would continue to feel antsy so long as he was using the techniques of someone else.


    The reason why he felt that these methods might be perfect for him was because his mind was already more than nimble enough. The benefits he got from normally cultivating were... well, Ryu couldn''t remember the last time a change in cultivation had helped his mind become stronger.


    In that case, why was he wasting so much potential by refining a mind that couldn''t be refined any further?


    Or at the very least, he had yet to find the method of refining his mind further. So long as he had his Mental Realm cultivation method, it was enough.


    ''I''ll consider this another time...''


    Though Ryu said this, he already had thoughts churning in his mind. That was because he recalled the Light and Dark cultivation method that he had received in the Incomplete Heavenly Path.


    Back then, cultivating that method filled his body up with tattoos. But, honestly, he didn''t really care what he looked like so long as he was more powerful. The real problem was that that method was too weak and eventually had to be left behind by him. Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com


    However, now that he had a perfect comprehension of Light and Dark, couldn''t he reform this cultivation method into something perfectly suited to him?


    His thoughts were churning all on their own, but he forcefully pressed them down.


    ''I''ll send these thoughts to my Dao Heart and see what it can do about it. It may or may not align with what it wants to do. I''ll let it decide if it wants to progress on that path or not.''


    His Dao Heart was obsessed with fast improvement, and there was technically not much faster than Body Realm cultivation.


    There was a misnomer that it took time, but that was mostly because of two things: a lack of mental fortitude and a lack of resources.


    So long as you had enough resources and were willing to suffer through untold pain, then there was nothing stopping you from advancing by leaps and bounds in the field of Body Realm cultivation.


    Ryu shook his head. His thoughts were getting more and more off track these days. He had to focus on one task at a time.


    "Master, will you marry me?"


    Hrakka''s words snapped Ryu out of his daze.


    He suddenly coughed, looking up at this enormous woman only to find her blushing like a little girl.


    "... Come again?"


    Hrakka covered her face, wondering why she had just said such words.


    "Nothing! Nothing!"


    Ryu was stunned for a moment before he started laughing.


    The Heavens had all the right to strike him down from above.


    Objectively, he was terrible at picking up girls. Every time he actively tried to do so, he would end up making a fool of himself. The more he cared, the worse at it he seemed to be.


    Yet, when he wasn''t trying at all, such a thing would happen. If he didn''t laugh about that, then what would he do?


    "Come with me, Hrakka," Ryu said with a smile.


    Using Idol Control, Ryu grew to a proportional height and ended up towering a head over her. He placed a hand on her shoulder and they disappeared.


    When they had reappeared, Hrakka nearly fell due to the pressure.


    A great number of powerful Lord and Sovereign corpses lay out before them.


    "I have an idea to make you more powerful, and it''ll likely be painful. Are you alright with that?"


    "Yes!" Hrakka nodded seriously, her previous shyness having vanished.


    Ryu nodded, his gaze becoming serious.


    Nether Qi was known as the lower case chaos, and right here, Ryu had a large number of true Chaos-laden experts.


    Normally, he wouldn''t be able to even cut into these corpses... but this was his world, and now, it had the support of not just one, but the equivalent of three perfect God Realms.


    Thanks to this, at least in some aspects, Ryu''s Inner World was already no weaker than a truly powerful world.


    So, Ryu was going to use this chance to mutate Hrakka''s Meridians.
