Chapter 1489 Natural Breath

Chapter 1489 Natural Breath

The Heavenly Warrior froze and slowly turned back to Ryu. Donning a familiar black armor with golden accents, the warrior didn't seem to understand what was happening. It stared blankly at Ryu, but it didn't move. It was like a robot that had run into a scenario it hadn't been programmed for, so it was constantly rebooting and reassessing the situation as though it was looking for a way out.

Ryu's eyes narrowed. Had he overestimated the intelligence of these Heavenly Warriors? But the last one had spoken to him, it even seemed to have emotions, so what was going on here?

Just as he was thinking so, the skies split.

BOOM.

A much taller Heavenly Warrior, standing at three meters and towering over Ryu appeared.

"Heaven's Chosen, what are you doing?"

Ryu's gaze flickered. This was the second time he was called this, and he still had no idea what it meant. If he was such a Heaven's Chosen, why'd these fools allow him to be a cripple for so long?

If he had never been compelled to reincarnate, just how much faster would he have been able to progress in his cultivation with the full backing of the Tatsuya Clan? And with his Beyond Perfect Extreme Spiritual Foundation at that! Not only would he not have to concern about the ticking time bomb that was likely to be his White Phoenix Spiritual Foundation, he would have been able to save his family from collapsing.

Of course, he knew that things weren't so simple.

For one, he would have never met Ailsa. Although she had left her family with her own problems, by the time she made that decision, Ryu would have been well along his path, and he would have shunned her with great vigor for the sake of Elena.

If not for the fact he had been separated from Elena, Ailsa would have never been able to crack his cold exterior.

He thought about what it might mean to try and kill one of these guys. Maybe if he killed enough, he could convert their essence into what he needed. But he felt that it would be greatly inappropriate to do so. These were the people that were protecting his home.

He, of course, wasn't a soft-hearted person. But he knew how not to ruin his own benefits as well.

If there was no one protecting Sacrum, and it became overrun, it would fall on his mother's shoulders to handle everything. And if that happened, how would she be able to heal her injuries?

But this Heavenly Warrior actually paused.

"From my understanding of your Spiritual Foundation, you do not need such a thing."

"Humor me." Ryu said.

Following Heaven's path for you would only get you so far. Ryu trusted his instincts just as much as he trusted the information the Heavens had given him. Since his instincts told him he needed one more thing, he believed it.

"You are already on a path to doing so. You have Shrine Mountain's will on you."

Ryu frowned. He was gazing for something deeper than that.

"You have left your world, and now you look down on it. Yet you return to it for help."

Ryu's frown deepened when he heard this. He didn't look down on his world; he simply acknowledged the reality, and that was that it was weaker than the True Martial World.

"Reach the state of Natural Breath first, then you can consider such things."

Ryu's brows shot right up.
