Chapter 1627 Tremble
Ryu stopped moving his feet. His eyes were closed and the last echoes of the gentle music came to a slow stop.
The feeling was unlike anything he had ever experienced before. He didn't expect that his Northern Heavenly Wind would have such an ability.
No, it wasn't quite the ability of the Northern Heavenly Wind, it was his innovation that had allowed it. And without his comprehension ability, Northern Heavenly Wind or not, it would be a pipe dream to find the resonance of the world around her.
It also had to be remembered that the Northern Heavenly Wind he was referring to was barely an Omniscient Grade treasure right now. Although he had gained a Wind Treasure for his Beyond Perfect Extreme Spiritual Foundation, it was much like the others in that Ryu couldn't use it.
Northern Heavenly Wind was a gentle treasure just like Origin Flames, so if it had been alone, it wouldn't have been a problem. This was also the case if it had been Southern Heavenly Wind, the Breath of Life. But the Eastern and Western Winds were too tyrannical, while the Wind that Ryu had taken was a fusion of all four.
And yet, he was still able to accomplish this.
Ryu felt that this new ability was perfect for his close combat style. It wouldn't overlap with his Childe of Order Constitution, but would instead fuse and enhance it. Both of them could resonate with the world, but one was based purely on moving the energies of the world, while the other focused on actually understanding them.
Childe of Order didn't help Ryu to comprehend anything. Instead, its activation simply seemed to force the qi in the surroundings to follow his command.
This musical resonance, though, wasn't a one size fits all like the Child of Order Constitution. In fact, Ryu felt that it actually had more potential than the Child of Order Constitution did.
That wasn't because of the ability itself, but rather how perfectly it fused with his abilities.
This resonance with the world was the perfect foundation for his Dao. He had already managed to form a Dao Vessel and this covered many of his weaknesses, amplifying his Dao usage to a great degree...
But he still lacked Dao Techniques.
'In that case... I believe that the Four Arts... they just might be the foundation I need to create the strongest Dao Techniques to ever exist...'
The main problem with Ryu's Dao as of now was that it could really do anything. It could amplify a lot of his abilities, and allow him to weaken those around him, but when it came to actually impacting the world... it was too limited.
But this... This might change all of that.
He had felt that the Calligraphy methods of the Unbalance Art Sect were too weak, he could change that. Not only could he change it, but he could capitalize on his knowledge of the other Four Arts and make them even better.
What he was wondering was if it would be possible to do the same with Domain, but he tossed the thought away.
There was no absolute need to try and force a round peg into a square hole. Who cared if he couldn't find a use for Domain? If he found a method to use it, he would. If he didn't, it wasn't like he had to make use of it no matter what.
The ideas he had now were already enough for a lifetime. In fact, he suddenly really wanted to complete his Northern Heavenly Wind to see just how far he could push it.
He didn't even realize how long he had just been standing there, staring out into space. His enlightenment came in fierce waves.
'If I layer this with a State of Meditation... How much more powerful would it become?'
States of Meditation were designed not just to strengthen the mind, but it was a form of resonance with the world as well. There was a reason why the penultimate State of Meditation was called "One with World".
The greatest State of Meditation there was called Breath of Quintessence, and he had a strong feeling that they were related as well.
And unlike others, thanks to [Focus], Ryu could easily slip into and out of States of Meditation at will. The number one ranked Heavenly Pupils... or at least the former number one ranked, had gained their title for a reason.
Then Ryu had another thought.
'How do I apply this to my Dividing Chaos Dao...?'
Resonating with the World was only one aspect of his abilities, how could he do the reverse?
He had multiple potential answers, but only two that stood out.
The first was a musical theory answer. Reversing a score, maybe changing its key, transcribing a major piece into a minor one... all sorts of things could work.
But then there was a cultivation answer. Was there a deeper comprehension to understand? Maybe...
Ryu's eyes flashed like a blazing strike of lightning. Wasn't he walking around with the Chaos Plane in his Dantian? Anywhere he could sense the Real Plane, he could sense the Chaos Plane. In that case, wasn't it just a simple matter of sensing the resonance of the Chaos Plane in this location and reacting to it? Writing a separate Score of Music just for it?
As Ryu was slowly weaving together new Dao Techniques, Selheira was entirely lost in her own world as well, she didn't even seem to realize that Ryu had stopped moving and was instead focusing on something entirely different.
The small protruding tail suddenly lashed out from the small of her back, becoming long, thick and powerful.
It slapped against the ground and caused the mountains to tremble wildly.
Her foundations seemed to be solidifying more and more, a pair of wings exploding from her delicate shoulder blades. Despite her slender form, each one was ten meters in length and could wipe out a city with a single flap.
Her weight became heavier and heavier as her eyes slit into an array of pale violet, pink and sky blues.
