Ryu walked through the Shrine Plane. Frost covered much of everything, but the chilling winds felt like nothing more than a refreshing breeze to him. Everything was comfortable and his expression gave nothing away.
This was the very first time Ryu was truly walking through the Shrine Plane alone. He had always had at least Nuri by his side. And, though technically Nuri and Ailsa were with him now in the Incubator, in practice he was alone. Any danger and any situation that had to be faced would be done by him and him alone.
It was quite surreal.
The Shrine Plane was among the most dangerous regions in Sacrum and that didn't even begin to describe the individual environments.
Due to the many spatial barriers, most of the Shrine Plane was wilderness and uncivilized. Only small pockets were controlled by cultivators while much of everything else was under the jurisdiction of nature and its beasts.
