Ryu got up from the ground and walked toward the golden gate, as he was working toward it he was startled when he looked at the cracked statue, he thought that the statue was still intact before he fell unconscious but now it has cracked and lost the life-like aura it has before, it now like a dead statue, like an ordinary statue.
"Arnt, what happened to this statue it wasn't like this when I was conscious right? Ryu pointed to the statue and ask Arnt what happened to it to become like this, he wanted to know the reason.
Arnt was confused about what to say to Ryu, even though he doesn't understand what happened to Ryu earlier. The pressure which emanated from Ryu last time was scary for Arnt as he was trembling under the pressure and that is even as the pressure wasn't directed at him, if it was, he would have been laying flat down on the ground from the horrible pressure.
Lately, when Ryu was still emitting the horrible pressure, Arnt struggled to get close to him and wake him up to stop him from emitting the pressure which can destroy the statue, when he got close to him and tap him he was blown away as a barrier is around Ryu at that time to protect him, Ryu looked back at Arnt with a gaze which shows arrogance and disdain for the world, this gaze surely isn't Ryu Normal gaze, notwithstanding as Arnt saw the gaze he was horrified as he was under vast pressure just from the gaze even his master doesn't have such pressure, After a moment of releasing the corporal force,ryu slumped and went into a slumber.
When Arnt was still flashing back to the incident, he forgot that Ryu asked him a question, he was still thinking about the scary occurrence.
Ryu was getting impatient when he saw Arnt still daydreaming when he ask him about the statue.
"Arnt why are you silent since I asked you about this statue, you wouldn't be hatching some fabrication for me about the true story right? Ryu looked at Arnt with a distrustful and questioning gaze.
Arnt convalesce to his sense and looked a Ryu, "No, why would I hatch lies for you, I'm just thinking about how you passed the test given by master easily as it tests willpower and you passed so excellent" Arnt found something to say to Ryu as he as he was still confused about what to say to Ryu.
For Arnt, what happened to Ryu may be because Ryu has two souls and it replaced Ryu earlier to emanate that pressure, or Ryu has innate willpower that will make Ryu heaven-defying talent. But even if it's two souls, the other soul should have swallowed Ryu's original soul as Arnt was sure the other soul was more powerful than Ryu's soul from the pressure released earlier and as this is the case from all the candidates who have two souls in the immortal realm, Arnt was just so confused.
Ryu looked skeptical at Arnt, he knows Arnt is keeping a secret but since he doesn't want to say, he will leave him to be, who is he even kidding, did Ryu have the power to make Arnt talk? lol, Ryu turn over from Arnt and continue walking towards the golden gate, when Ryu arrived at the gate, he felt tiny as the gate was just too tall and huge, he reached his hand toward the gate and 'creak..." the gate open tardily till it opens wide.
Ryu was stunned as he hasn't even touched the gate and it opened but he understand right off that there must be a remnant soul of a person inside to open the door. He walked inside the palace and 'bam' the door to the palace closed on Ryu.
Ryu continues to move about in the palace, he encounters some facilities such as an alchemy room, blacksmithing room, painting room and so many rooms which contain treasures, when Ryu saw this room he was amazed and his eyes are shining at the amount of treasure here inside the palace.
Ryu enters the alchemy room, and he saw a pill furnace for alchemy which has a drawing of three suns which depict a magnificent cauldron in the middle of the suns. When Ryu looked further he saw a scene of the three suns orbiting the cauldron and he was attracted to the cauldron, when he get to the cauldron and touched it.
"crack...Booooooom....." A sound like something broke ringed out and the cauldron ascended and started flying around Ryu, it was like it communicating something to Ryu.
"Do you want to recognize me as your master? Ryu asked skeptically as he didn't understand what the cauldron is communicating. The cauldron stopped rounding around Ryu and stopped and move toward Ryu. It looks like it wants Ryu as its master.
What Ryu doesn't understand is that when Ryu touched the cauldron earlier it sensed Ryu's physique and his overbearingly powerful fire qi which attracted the cauldron and lead to this situation.
Ryu now knows what the cauldron wants but was confused about how to acknowledge the cauldron, when he was thinking he suddenly remembers the vision he had earlier, he bite his finger to produce blood and activate his physique but enhancing the fire qi more and flung the blood containing the qi at the drawing on the cauldron precisely the cauldron orbited by the suns, when the blood touched the cauldron, blinding lights were produced which force ryu to close his eyes, a moment later he opens his eyes and saw a magnificent sight, he saw the illusionary body of a cauldron hovering up and the suns are surrounding it while moving around it. It's an amazing sight, this continues for a moment when the light and the illusionary image are retracted into the cauldron and the cauldron moves onto Ryu's hand.
The cauldron now looks more imposing after Ryu was recognized by it. It looks more spiritual. After the cauldron is dropped on Ryu's hand a name appears in Ryu's head and he knows the cauldron's name.
The cauldron's name is Eternal three sun's tripod. The cauldron has a spiritual spirit that can communicate and help him when producing pills and can also block a powerful attack as the cauldron's body is quite sturdy.
"Master you should go and master the remaining treasures of the ancient god of fist place inside this place as it can help you any time when you need them for their uses, I'm sure they will recognize you as they were been here for thousands of years just like me and must be bored beside they surely will be attracted to your physique as I was, "the cauldron says that the treasures will easily recognize Ryu as their master, as Ryu physique is the ideal physique for any elemental treasure like the cauldron which had fire element.
Ryu nodded as he understand what the spirit inside the cauldron tell him, he started moving around to make the remaining treasures recognize him as their master.
He repeat everything he had done to the Eternal three suns cauldron to all the remaining treasures he encountered and cracking with booming sounds rang out all over the palace.
When Ryu was exploring he saw a medicinal ground, a storage room where artifacts and metal for smithing are kept and so on, he encounters a variety of treasures in the palace.
Albeit unknowingly, Ryu arrived at a room, the room was quite majestic looking and it was decorated with refined gold which is an ideal treasure for a cultivator that practices gold elements as it can multiply the gains earned by them if they practiced here for a long time.
Ryu thought 'i think the ancient god of fist is a gold element cultivator, this place is almost filled with gold and gold '.
He moved around inside the palace room as the room was quite big, when he was moving around he arrived at a throne, and on the throne, there was a person, Ryu was quite familiar with the person as it was the same as the statue outside the palace, he was surprised as there should not be the ancient god of fist here if Arnt was here he would also be surprised as even he did know his master would be here inside the palace all this time.
When Ryu is thinking all this, the eyes of the person Opened slowly and gaze at Ryu with his domineering eyes as it is outside the palace.
"You are here, I'm the ancient god of the fist as my bell told you outside my real name is lyan and you will be the first person to know my real name as we would be master and disciple now "The person on the throne called lyan scrutinized Ryu as he can't see past Ryu and was curious how Ryu destroys the statue he put outside as the test for his heir.
Ryu looked back at lyan unwaveringly as since he awakens the baby-like figure inside him he's also become more domineering unknowingly by him. he didn't back down at lyan gaze.
"Interesting"lyan muttered when he saw Ryu's unwavering gaze, he withdraw his pressure and said "I'm quite interested In your secret but for now I will be given you the last inheritance which is Indestructible Primal Body Techniques suitable for your physique, after which we will talk about your secret,"lyan said with a meaningful gaze to Ryu.
Ryu was at first scared a little when he heard that but was immediately reassured by the stone which is now inside the baby-like figure inside Ryu's soul space.
"Quickly prepare yourself as the process will be excruciating for you"lyan hurried Ryu as he was quite impatient and interested to know Ryu's secret after the inheritance.
