Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

The turbulence outside of a world was truly something to behold. Even with his immunity to Chaos Qi, the pressurized astral winds still threatened to reap his life. Ryu had thought that he would need to fake his sorry state, but it only took him a few moments to realize that there was no need to fake anything.

Astral Winds were devastating harbingers of death. The were a fusion of not only wind itself, but also highly charged particles from stars expelling waste, volatile concentrations of qi, especially Chaos Qi, and also dust particles.

While of this list dust particles seemed to be the most innocent, at the high velocities they sped by at, they were no less lethal than any of the others on the list. In fact, it was these dust particles that caused Ryu to suffer the most.

At these speeds, a small rock could cause a World Sea Realm expert's head to burst like a watermelon. These dust particles were no less devastating, pelting against Ryu's qi skin shield with every intention of riddling him with holes.

Getting annoyed, Ryu decided to deploy <Immortal Sakura> on a small scale. The immortal tree hung above his head, petals of beautiful violet covered in radiant blue Heavenly Patterns fluttering all around him.

Ryu sighed in relief, the pressure on him falling several folds.

'It's troublesome. My Spiritual Sense can't spread very far in this kind of environment so it feels like I'm walking around blind. According to Sarriel's notes, these streams of Astral Wind was separated into Greater and Lesser Waves. I need to find the Red Dune Greater Wave and follow its trajectory until…'

Ryu went over in his mind what he would have to do.

Riding a Greater Wave was a dangerous endeavor. As a result, one would have to rely on Astral Ships to get the job done. There were several moon and asteroid systems that provided such a service and Sarriel had suggested for Ryu to buy a ticket to the best one he could afford.

Riding Greater Waves had a very high lethality rate, so it was better to not cheap out and risk your life for a few extra Qi Stones. You wouldn't have the chance to use those Qi Stones anyway if you were dead.

Ryu took this advice quite seriously. He was rich anyway, so there truly wasn't a point.

Existence called this region between worlds Astral Space. Usually, one could access Astral Space through either the Chaos Plane of one's world, or the Abyssal Plane which existed between Order and Chaos.

Ryu wasn't unfamiliar with the Abyssal Plane. After all, the so-called Abyss was the location he had gotten his Mortal, now Immortal, Realm Heart from.

It was unfortunate that Ryu's method of destroying the Martial God Sky Gods had also destroyed their Godhoods, or else he might have had enough to upgrade his Realm Heart to the Cosmic Grade.

Ryu's thoughts wandered as he strolled through the skies. Soon, he could feel several gravitational pulls subtly tugging at him from different directions.

Without his eyes and without wanting to risk stretching his Spiritual Sense out too far in this volatile environment, Ryu could only prime his other senses to the max. When he felt these tugs, he realized that he was very close to a moon system.

'That direction should be right.' He nodded to himself.

…

In the distance, a group of three strolled through the skies much like Ryu. This wasn't rare in this region of Astral Space. As it was near several middle level worlds, the space was relatively safer so there were many experts at and around the Path Extinction Realm level that came here to temper themselves.

Ryu didn't notice these people as they were too far away, but they most definitely noticed him.

"Senior brother, that's—!"

"Hush, don't alert him. I can see."

The eyes of the three sharpened, but their expressions remained placid as they observed Ryu from afar. But, outside of their senior brother's expectations, Ryu didn't seem to notice them.

"Senior brother, he seems to be… blind?"

The eyes of the three glowed. Blind people among cultivators were quite rare, but it wasn't like none existed. Such blind people tended to have extraordinarily keen senses though, so it was difficult to take advantage of them most of the time.

However, in Astral Space, it was a different situation altogether. With the danger of the surroundings and especially the dense Chaos Qi, no one dared to casually spread their Spiritual Sense until they were fond of riddling their souls with holes and collapsing dead.

Of course, shattering one's Spiritual Sense wasn't that devastating and one could usually slowly recover over time, but being injured in Astral Space was like asking to die.

"I never thought we'd stumble into such an opportunity. He must be from the same Sect as that bitch, their defensive Visualizations are identical. If we get to him, we can probably find where she is and get revenge."

The senior brother of the three spoke these words out through gritted teeth. He had been holding onto this grudge for over a hundred years already, but no matter where he looked, he couldn't find the woman who made him suffer such a loss, and he couldn't find information about her world or Sect either.

He had only been able to conclude that she had come from a smaller world and was one of their rising geniuses. But, there were simply too many worlds to go through and check. He couldn't possibly know all of them, that was ridiculous.

But after over a hundred years, he finally found a clue.

Soon, Dob forced himself to calm down. They had already entered the Imia Moon System, his status wasn't high enough to just casually offend the overseers of this region. Luckily, it seemed that Ryu hadn't noticed them. But, he still restrained his killing intent further. Blind cultivators were simply far too sensitive for him to slip up now.

"Come, we'll board his Astral Ship and wait for an opportunity."
