After a few minutes of walking, she had finally reached at the entrance of the inn.
She looked around for a second and then stepped inside.
She greeted the inn owner politely and headed towards the room where she was staying.
"Creak..." The door made a creaking sound when opened and closed as it was getting old and lacked maintenance.
Rias made sure to close the door properly before lying on the bed, carefree about anything that was happening or going to happen.
"I should visit Aiden later, It has been 5 hours since the morning but i still didn't check him." She thought to herself before getting rid of all thoughts from her mind and closing her eyes to take a short nap.
***
At this moment, Aiden was suffering hell because of the insane training he was going through from the last 5 years.
"It has been almost 5 years. I miss you master, I will be sure to meet you first when i get out of here." He clenched his first and buried his emotions deep in his heart.
He then focused on cultivation once again as the blue energy started to pour some strange liquid on his body.
The liquid smelled really bad, Aiden had to forcefully close his sense of semll for the tike being as he couldn't resist this strange stench.
The liquid instantly started to evaporate upon touching his body, leaving a strange kind of black substance on his body.
The strange substance started to melt and this resulted in Aiden's body to loosen instantly and burn.
"Arghhh!!" He screamed in pain, his body started to feel numb and the tickling sensation was like pouring oil into burning fire.
"Argh! stop it!!" He kept screaming in pain but the blue energy didn't move an inch.
This hellish training was meant to Strengthen Aiden's muscles and his constitution.
"You won't be able to get strong if you don't face hardships." The energy wickedly smiled, looking at him, enjoying the show of horror in front of him.
"This is just a warm up, the real training will be starting soon..." The energy turned blood red in an instant, showing its evil intentions.

After 2 hours, Rias finally woke up and got up from the bed to look out for Aiden.
"I should look out for Aiden." She smiled and then left her room, making sure to close the door properly.
After arriving at the door of Aiden's room, she knocked it twice to make sure to not disturb his privacy.
After a moment, she noticed that Aiden's soul energy was not present in the room. Either he had left the inn for some reason or there was something wrong going on.
She opened the door forcefully and found that there was no one in the room.
"Where did this boy go?" she mumbled and then used her detection skill to detect his presence in the nearby areas.
"What is wrong? Why is he not in this area?" Her face devloped a worried look instantly after finding out that Aiden's presence was nowhere to be found.
"What kind of trouble did this boy call upon himself..." Her worried look was understandable as her detection skill was very powerful and even the whole city could be scanned but she could still not Aiden anywhere.
She felt like something was wrong here. Aiden was nowhere to be found in the entire city. She already knew that Aiden wouldn't leave the city without telling her as he was unfamiliar with the cities outside and he was still not strong enough to wander around in different cities without any protection from her.
This made her panick because she didn't want to lose him. She very well knew that someone had to be powerful enough to resist her detection skill, which made her worry even more.
She quickly teleported outside the inn and used a flying sword to look around the city to find him.

At this moment, Aiden was sitting cross legged, using a strange type of cultivation technique which could even swallow the void.
A bright glow emerged from his body in the next moment. The glow managed to surpass the glow of the stars and the pressure emitted by them.
"This is..." The old blue energy looked at Aiden, amazed by the bright light and pressure that was being emitted from his body.
"The sould breakthrough! This boy has really managed to do it in less that 10 years!!" The energy jumped in amazement upon seing the unbelievable achievement made possible by aiden.
"This is truly the heaven defying body! The emperor has been born, the emerpor has been born!" The energy couldn't hold it in. This was the only mission that he was given by the heavens for the past millions of years yet he wasn't able to find the Emperor and now, in front of him, the emperor was born. This was truly an unbelievable scene for him.
The energy kept dancing like a madman until Aiden's body finally stopped glowing.
He opened his eyes and looked at the energy dance like a madman.
He instantly burst into a laughter upon seeing the energy who called himself the legendary person, dance like a madman.
"Hahahahaha!!" When he laughed loudly, the old energy noticed it and instantly stopped dancing, too embarrassed to face him anymore.
"H-hey kid, why did you have to wake up this soon?" The energy yelled at him like crazy.
"You- why were you dancing like a legless frog." His words instantly angered the energy but he didn't care even a little about it.
He kept laughing for a moment and finally stopped afterwards.
"I-its just that I have finally completed my task..." the energy replied with an embarrassed face.
"Huh? What task? Wasn't it about training me? Its not even been 10 years and you are already leaving your job? What kind of dog are you?" Aiden badly made fun of the energy.
"Shut up brat, My job was to train you for 10 years but now, you have already activated the hidden Emperor's body, so my goal is now completed." The energy replied.
"What is that? Can you explain please?" Aiden asked curiously.
"Not now, now is not the right time to tell you about the secrets of the universe. You just need to know that this universe is not as small as you think." The energy replied calmly.
"But-" Just as he was speaking, his sentence was cut in the middle by the energy.
"Its time for you to leave this void, you don't need to destroy the stars as your potential is already enough to defy the heavens." The energy blinked and in an instant, Aiden was teleported back to his room inside the inn.
"Wh-" He looked around and found out that it was the room where he was living earlier.
"I am back!?" He thought for a moment and then celebrated as he was staying in the voud for more than 7 years, and now he was finally back to his original world where his loved once resided.
"I should meet master right now!" He thought to himself and quickly lifted his body from the ground.
Just as he was leaving the room, Rias arrived behind him and hugged him tightly.
"Master..." He was shocked at this moment, he was afraid that it had also been 7 years in the real world as Rias's reaction was really shocking for him.
He panicked after thinking about the real world time. Did the energy really lie to him or was it something else? He thought to himself.
"Aiden! You're finally back, I was so scared when i didn't find any traces of you." Rias burst into tears instantly.
She then looked at his face and found out something odd about him.
"You- you look like a completely new person-
