Chapter 1481 Hurry
Ryu didn't actually believe that Child of Order was so much better than his Heavenly Pupils. They were ranked number one for a very good reason. But with his eyes sealed, he was certain that the feeling wouldn't have been nearly as transcendent without it.
The second facet was the fact he was in the True Martial World. The Breath of his world and the Breath of Sacrum were on two completely different levels. They couldn't even remotely be compared.
This was, without a doubt, the most potent One With Self state that he had ever entered.
But he didn't have the time to enjoy it.
The Meditation States drained Focus even faster than your normal state of focus would for obvious reasons. The Spirit Seeking Lilies would mitigate this somewhat, but because Ryu was putting in so much effort to be attuned with this lightning so that this sea of judgment would treat him as one of their own, the help he gained from the Spirit Seeking Lilies was being swiftly crushed.
In his optimal estimates, he felt that he had three minutes. In those minutes, he not only needed to take the treasure at the core of this land, but he also needed to start the next leg of his journey. That second part would be the far trickier of the two.
He was already in the core of this world, he had appeared here on purpose to save time even though it would be far more dangerous.
He had to be cautious and couldn't stretch out his Spiritual Sense, so he could only rely on his eyes. The problem with using his Spiritual Sense in this place was twofold. It was either his Spiritual Sense would be shattered and impact his soul, or he could protect it like he was protecting his body now.
It seemed obvious to do the latter, but if he did so, his Focus Qi drain would be exponentially worse. Let alone three minutes, he might not even have a few seconds.
'There.'
Ryu's eyes finally locked onto what he was looking for, but he felt his heart skip a beat.
Seeing that one of his goals was completed, Ryu took a breath and reached out.
"Are you crazy?!"
The little woman practically shrieked.
Ryu inwardly rolled his eyes. This woman really liked to wait until the last minute to say anything. If she had a solution, then why not speak? Why all this waiting?
"You-"
"Let me cut you off right there," Ryu said, somewhat quickly. "My Focus Qi is draining fast. If you have a approach of dealing with this, say it quickly. I will not leave here without this."
"You..." The little woman was speechless, before she grit her teeth. "Use your Spiritual Foundation directly. You won't have the luxury of storing it for later. If you don't absorb it here and suppress it, you can forget about taking it away.
"That's a True Lightning Spirit, it's more attune with the lightning element than even Faeries and Fey, its destruction incarnate. If you allow it to wake up, it could blast a tenth of this Heaven to nothingness."
Ryu was speechless. This was the Eighth Heaven... what kind of nonsense was this woman saying.
"Hurry up, then!"
Ryu nodded and felt a connection with his Spiritual Foundation form. But then he hesitated. How was he supposed to bring this into his Spiritual Foundation without touching it?
"All Elemental Spirits are reaching for the extreme, your Spiritual Foundation takes it a step beyond.
"This sea of lightning is the chosen home for this spirit because it's the best. Make your Spiritual Foundation even better."
When the little woman uttered this, it finally clicked for Ryu.
