Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

"Why would such a person even join our Sect? Could it be that his intention had always been Aika? And we simply let him have her?"

"This isn\'t even the main problem. We\'ve given him so many resources, and he doesn\'t seem to be very talented either. From my understanding, he joined the Sect as an Immortal Ring expert, but he was already into his 20s. That\'s an inferior speed even for the First Heaven, let alone the Sixth, or the Seventh and beyond. His foundation is already questionable."

"His greatest strong suit is his Dao, but how many in the history of our Sect have formed Ancient Daos and then failed to breakthrough? All such people are incredibly stubborn, and someone who could form a Founding Da would be even more stubborn in this regard, who knows if he\'ll ever manage to break into the Sky God Realm?"

These three just seemed to get more and more furious the more they spoke. Maybe they were still remembering the defeat of their disciples, but Old Wan and Samson didn\'t seem to react like this. These men had given up a great deal for the Sect, much like they had. They at least a modicum of respect for them in this regard, at least enough not to assume the worst.

Plus, their worries made sense, although their questions of Ryu\'s talent was ridiculous.

Sects were extremely meticulous with how they selected disciples. Those that came from powerful Clans were always noted and monitored, they had much taller bars to clear if they wanted to become Inheritors, or touch upon the Core Texts of the Clan.

Galemar lunae of the Twin Phase Merchant Group, a genius of their Sect back on the First Heaven and the first person Ryu had met from this world, was a prime example. He had spent so long in the Sect, hoping to gain their help to win the Patriarch position of his Clan, and yet he had never gained what he wanted, and in the end he ended up dying at Ryu\'s hands.

This was the fate of someone who had entered from a powerful Clan attempting to join a Sect. There were probably some Sects out there that didn\'t care, but these were only Sects that were so supremely powerful that they were the obvious choice over certain families.

Just as they were about to continue and Aika was slowly losing her patience, the commotion reached their ears. Their gazes sharpened and they left the depths of the Sect\'s core, rising up. But when they saw it, they frowned deeply.

This was a breakthrough, and it was definitely into the Cosmic Seed Realm, but why was it so strong? It didn\'t make any sense. No formation of a Cosmic Seed should be that exaggerated. They had personally witnessed Deity Grade Cosmic Seed formations before, Aika was literally right next to them, but it hadn\'t been so exaggerated.

The only explanation was that the formation grade was both of an exceptionally high level. But how could it be higher level than Aika\'s?

Aika\'s Dao was pretty abstract as well, dealing with qi on a quantum level. It was quite frankly almost as abstract as you could get, and her strength displayed this in full force. They couldn\'t even fathom what kind of Cosmic Seeds she would have had to form in order to supplement it and allow her breakthrough into the Sky God Realms.

"It\'s not the formation of one Cosmic Seed, it\'s the formation of two," Aika said lightly.

They seemed to notice this the moment Aika spoke. Indeed, there were two streams, and they seemed to complement and repel one another at the same time, it was no wonder the uproar was so large. Even now, though, they couldn\'t quite grasp just how deep these Cosmic Seeds were.

Old Wan\'s gaze flickered as he observed.

The commotion lasted for a long while until it slowed to a crawl and eventually ceased entirely. It gently came to a stop, far more calm than the initial commotion would have made seem possible.

However, very soon that chilled atmosphere heated up once again as a uproar even larger than the last formed. Once again, it was another two Cosmic Seeds, forming at the same time.

Ryu hadn\'t initially had any intention of breaking through more than once, but he found that first so easy that he did it again... and then again... each one was more furious than the last. If after the first the Sixth Heaven rumbled, but by the time he completed the sixth cycle and had formed 12 Cosmic Seeds, it seemed as though the Plane of Existence might very well break apart at the seams.

However, none of these six cycles even began to compare to the seventh. The skies turned dark and the aura of a Founding Dao seeped out in all directions. All of the qi of the Sixth Heaven seemed to surge toward just a single location. Those that didn\'t know what was happening within the walls of the Radiant Star Sect even believed that it was Primus who was taking action.

While he was in the process, though, Ryu frowned.

He had been impeccably balanced up until this point, and he was currently forming his Earth Character Cosmic Seeds... but it was off.

His glance flashed as he made a decision. Without hesitation, the qi around him doubled again as he began to create his Heaven Character Cosmic Seeds at the same time.

"Condense!"
