Lyan was stunned and silly seeing Ryu take away the palace so fast, he thought that at least Ryu will use some time to be able to take away the palace but what he was seeing is practically incredible.
"Ryu how can you take away the palace so fast, "lyan asked Ryu as he doesn't think Ryu can know it so fast with any help.
"Master, what do you mean, you said I should take the palace and I have taken it, so..."Ryu act dumb at first but he knew what his master is referring to, he just wants to think about what to say before answering him.
"I mean how can you know the method to take away the palace so soon almost instantly after I told you my conjectures"Ryu asked again.
"Ohhh....that, master I just think since this palace is related to my physique, maybe I should be able to interact with it with my physique and it works "Ryu smoothly spat out all rubbish from his mouth to convince his master.
"Hmmm... that makes sense, you are really good seedlings with your physique, talent, and comprehension"lyan believed Ryu this time and even praise him for his fast comprehension.
"But Ryu how can your qi reserve be so enormous that you can shroud the huge palace with your qi so fast" lyan asked again puzzled because he was surprised earlier when Ryu covered the palace in a blink of an eye and take it with him.
"Huh..master my qi reserve is just so enormous, but, master you may not know but as a person with the indestructible Primal physique, my qi reserve is much wider than normal cultivators so I can take the palace"Ryu spouted another nonsense which is half correct as it's true that a person with the indestructible Primal physique usually has large qi reserve but Ryu can't have taken the palace without little long help.
"Ohh..so that's how it is"lyan nodded and said again "you have taken the palace, but you aren't fully prepared, you haven't even learned any cultivation skills as they can help you out when you fight in groups or with a person with the same strength as you, it can sometimes determine victory for you in those situations, "lyan told Ryu passionately he looked like a father pestering and reminding his son to do something.
Ryu nodded with warmth filling his heart, ever since he was born, their families has been schemed schemed and plotted against by their enemies because of him and he didn't get to experience any father affection as his father is always busy, either resolving small skirmishes between them and the imperial family or about the family matter he was always busy, though Ryu knows his father loved him he had never shown it to him except when he was about to die from the war where he used his life to stop the enemies when he and his mother want to escape, he still remembered his father said
"I love you son" and looked at him and his mother lovingly but with regret and unwillingness deep in his eyes before he was stabbed by the crown prince of the sky firebird kingdom Huo Nian, Ryu stills remember the vicious expression on Huo Nian's face.
Ryu past life father too died on the day he was born and never also showed love to him, so this is the first time Ryu felt fatherly love from lyan.
After Ryu nodded without any words he sent his consciousness inside the save which has merged with him and is inside his dantian, Ryu now has two enormous storage spaces, the save and the palace which is in his soul, Ryu doesn't know if merged or just settled inside is soul but he knows he can summon the palace out anytime easily.
Ryu looked inside the save and start checking and sorting out the cultivation skills, he searched for a while before he see a skill that can help the user moves fast, it is both good for running and also when fighting, Ryu had the worldly fist canon techniques skills but that just for fighting and he can also temporarily extract wind qi or lightning qi from his physique for speed but that would be too exhausting, especially when fighting, it can be fatal for him when fighting so he chose the skill which name is Wind Chasing Foot Techniques, Ryu had already learned some techniques before from the safe but all of them was just to kill as that time he needed to kill the assassins and destroy their stronghold but now he wants to choose speed skills too as it may perhaps safe his life when he meets stronger cultivators.
Ryu thought about this and decide on the skill.
Cultivation skills for mortal realm cultivators can be divided into yellow, red, blue, and black which can just be simply said by cultivators as low, middle, exceptional, and peak and they are further divided into low grade, high grade, and excellent grade.
And the Wind Chasing Foot Technique is a high-grade peak technique, but Techniques in this universe are mostly dependent on the user's cultivation stages, as even low-grade yellow skills can be more powerful in a person's hand than black-grade ones sometimes if the skill is perfected.
Ryu picked the wind-chasing Foot Technique and go in into the cultivation chamber produced by lyan when Ryu was out killing the assassin, he brings out back the IMPERISHABLE GOLDEN ABODE but makes it smaller and directly go into the chamber.
After Ryu entered the chamber, he saw some puppets made of profound primal gold like the lyan statue and the palace so they can be considered indestructible, but their cultivation is decided by their challenger cultivation stage so they are not undefeated but just indestructible as they also are in the 5th stage Earth realm, he thought 'i think lyan stills have some elemental crystal as he used it on his statue outside the palace, but how can profound primal gold cracks as it is known as the strongest in the universe, I think Arnt isn't telling name the truth about how the gold cracked when I woke up that time' Ryu thought and also remembered about the gold that cracked outside the palace earlier.
When Ryu entered and scan the chamber with his eyes he found an arena containing 7 profound primal gold puppets, he immediately understands that if he entered the arena, the puppet will attack him directly.
Ryu jumped into the arena without any hesitation and the immobile golden puppets started moving and attacking Ryu, the puppets don't know any skills so they just attacked Ryu with brute strength, so Ryu also didn't use any skills except Wind Chasing Foot Technique which he comes to learn in the first place.
Ryu activated the technique and he started moving agilely but clumsily around the puppet when Ryu moved wind qi started forming on his foot which enhanced his speed and his physique subconsciously produce wind qi to support the techniques which further enhanced his speed, he continued moving around the puppet and avoiding their attacks without actually attacking the puppets, he just focused on perfecting the Technique, suddenly when Ryu dodged a puppet attack, he doesn't expect another one to swipe his leg before he even lands in the ground so he fell heavily in the arena, he was caught off guard because before the puppet where attacking one after the other but now they are attacking him together at a time.
Ryu falling makes him receive some repeated blows from the remaining puppets and he becomes bruised with a few outer injuries, Ryu hurriedly stands up and continues to dodge and avoid the puppet blows and sometimes he falls from the blows and gets injured and he will immediately stand to continue the training, Ryu continues the cycle, falling, standing back up, dodged and repeat and the wind chasing Foot Technique continue to approach perfection.
....
When Ryu was training he didn't know that danger is waiting for him as the imperial soldiers and their general is searching for him since he destroyed the assassin's stronghold days ago and he will soon clash with them, he will meet them no matter what because the emperor said that they must return with Ryu either alive or dead.
So it can be seen how deadpan the emperor want Ryu, or we say Ryu opportunities.
The Emperor is desperate because he had been stuck in his cultivation stages for years without any improvement, to break through his cultivation stage he needs an opportunity that is hard to find, it is just that Ryu's luck is good for getting one when he just started cultivating.
When a normal cultivator without enough talent like the emperor reaches the spirit realm, to advance just a stage is arduous as it needed more qi and talent, so if their talent is exhausted, they won't be able to improve at all unless they get an opportunity, so you can say the Emperor is desperate because he may not be able to breakthrough anymore till he dies.
And also the emperor is adamant because he is afraid of Ryu's fast growth, it may endanger him and his family if Ryu was left unchecked so the emperor can kill two birds with one stone.
