Ryu spent several of the next few months in complete solitude. Back in Sacrum, he rarely had the time to sit in silence and cultivate like this as the was always running from one troubled ground to another. However, this time, he was learning of the benefits of having the backing of a Sect. He actually had what could be considered time for "leisure".
Of course, if others knew that Ryu's so-called leisure was just continuous and arduous cultivation, they might very well look at him as though he was a madman.
Half a year passed just like this.
As Ryu progressed through his recultivation, it took longer and longer periods of time to reach the levels of perfection he sought after. In fact, if it wasn't for his Realm Heart raising his comprehension of the Immortal Realms by such a large margin, it would have taken him even longer than just half a year.
