Chapter 1940 Within

1940 Within

Ailsa opened her mouth to say something several times, but before she could even decide what she would say, she sensed the familiar aura of Ryu sinking into a state of meditation.

His face was peaceful and focused, unmoved by all things. It seemed that his Dao Heart had reached a state of peace... or maybe it was that he had managed to temper any waves that were hidden within.

Calm, unaffected, unmoved. It was like he had an inability to sense that she was still there at all.

There were some things in life that simply couldn't be taken back easily. It was likely that even if she went to an extreme, it would be hard to change Ryu's mind.

She had thought about it, considered what she might do to change things. But she also realized after having decades to calm down that it was all meaningless.

The reason words couldn't be taken back so easily was because having said them already, it meant you had the capacity, the thought, and the feeling to back them.

Saying things out of rage, helplessness, or any other excuse of an emotion could only go so far. Saying that you didn't mean them afterward, or that you were muddle headed, wouldn't erase what had happened.

This was doubly so for cultivators who had a speed of thought that completely overshadowed their usual talking speed. In the time a cultivator could speak out a single sentence, they could analyze it from thousands of angles all at the same time.

The only way to take something like that back was to go to an extreme... Ailsa had thought of many ways, most of which boiled down to announcing that Ryu was her husband.

Unfortunately, she knew Ryu too well. If she actually did such a thing, he might truly never speak with her again.

Setting aside the fact that it would seem like she was pitying him, there was a deeper reason.

It would be like she was doing what she had done before.

There was no doubt that revealing Ryu to be her husband would harm her. Hope's Fate was tied to Ryu's own, but Ailsa, though his Life Partner, had her own Fate to manage.

It was that he would prefer to let his actions speak louder than his words.

He had already said everything he needed to, and he didn't have any intention of saying anything more.

No matter how sure she was, Ailsa's pupils still couldn't help but tremble when she saw Ryu's reaction. His state of mind didn't waver, as though she was a mountain to climb rather than his wife.

And maybe that was her fault from the very beginning. But what was

done was done.

Her clone stood slowly and then vanished.

Ryu didn't lose his focus a single time, the cadence of his breathing remaining even. He had already been focused on consolidating his understanding.

The hours ticked by and everything was perfectly arranged in his mind. Now, he had already turned his attention toward how to raise his Qi Realm to the Omniscient Realm as quickly as possible.

He needed to breakthrough his Dao comprehension first, and for that he needed more experience and understanding.

The reason he had managed to raise his Dao so fast was because of all the accumulated knowledge in Ailsa's library. But making it further, especially while maintaining this current level of his Dao, would be extremely difficult.

The best way was to gather Holy World, use his Realm Heart to perfect them, and then incorporate those insights into himself.

The same day he succeeded in completing his Body Realm Cultivation method was the same day he would enter the Omniscient Sky God Realm.

'Within ten years...' Ryu thought to himself.
