" I just saw the original form of Shuijing. Gege... This monstrous creature, what kind of dragon?" Nan Sian was horrified to see the form of Tou Shuijing.
" I used to think that Shuijing was a Dragon. But he himself said that he was Hydra." Ryu also did not really understand about Tou Shuijing, if spelled out Dragon but had the head of Seven.
" Maybe it's just a different name because it's a different place, sir. If it's seven-headed, it indicates that I'm still a teenager. But if I'm an adult then I'll have nine heads to twelve." Tou Shuijing smiled yet looked terrifying.
" Shuijing... I'll look forward to the day you have 12 heads." Ryu smiled hearing the remark from Tou Shuijing.
" So sooner or later, it's gonna happen, sir." Tou Shuijing lowered his body in order to be boarded by Ryu and his Wife.
" all right... Now we're leaving." Ryu gave the order to Tou Shuijing when they were already on his back.
" Hold the strong sir, Madam. I'll take you guys flying over the clouds." Tou Shuijing shot rapidly flying higher until it reached above the clouds.
" Gege's... Where are we going now?" Ask Sheng Zhishu.
" Because I kept too much of the Treasure collection, I had forgotten that a fortune teller had given me this Map scroll while in the Half-Eternal World. To make our journey safer, we better turn around. That means we go to the Northern Continent first." Ryu took out two map scrolls he had obtained from the fortune teller in the Half-Eternal World and the other he had obtained from the White Sand kingdom Ancestor.
With the two scrolls, Ryu combines until it becomes a single entity where the two Maps are seen to be interconnected.
" Gege's... I still don't understand." Sheng Zhishu shook his head as he looked at the map.
" all right... I'll explain in detail to all of you." Ryu stared at his wife in turn.
" For this matter, my knowledge is very limited." Xin Chie frowned.
" In the Northern Continent, I'll look for the existence of the Wind Element Lord. There is a floating Island. I am very confident that the Wind Element Lord is there."
" If the Wind Element Lord has already found it, then we will continue our journey to the Western Continent, where the Fire Element Lord resides. Because there is a Desert of Fire. I'm sure the Fire Element Lord is there."
" Thereafter we continue our journey to the Southern Continent where the Ice Element Lord resides, where there is a snow Desert or an ice desert. I'm sure the Ice Element Lord lives there."
" But not to forget, we must examine the various oceans, because in the description on this map that somewhere there is a strange wave. I'm sure the Water Element Lord lives in the middle of the big waves."
" And lastly we will go to the Central Continent where the Land Elementary Lord resides. There too we will go to the Nuse Continent right where the Elves where the Poison Element Lord resides, The Underground Continent where the Devils where the Dark Element Lord lives and the Tiantang Continent where the Gods where the Light Element Lord resides." Ryu explained to his wife.
" Gege's... But it's not clear where the other point is." Huli Yue looked at the map using only the captions, but no location points were shown.
" Yue 'er... If anyone knows clearly, then I'm not the first to know the existence of the Element Lord." Ryu shook his head.
" It's true too..." Huli Yue raised her eyebrows.
" While we couldn't find a clearer location, at least we've found a clue" Ryu said.
" I understand now." said Huli Yue.
" After we manage to find the existence of all the Elemental Sovereigns, we descend to the Cultivatorless Continent and the Double Continent that exist in the Half-Eternal World to search for the Bodhi Tree Core." Ryu explained to them.
' Young Man... Why are you looking for the Bodhi Tree Core? It was not an easy matter.' a voice heard from Shen Weida through a soul message.
Hearing Shen Weida's soul message, Ryu focused his mind on communicating with the figure.
' Ruler... I need the Bodhi Tree Core to strengthen the Great God body I have.' Ryu replied to the soul message to Shen Weida.
' Why didn't you say it before. The Bodhi tree is my creation. In the Mortal World there were seven Bodhi Trees, only they could not be seen with the naked eye. In the Half-Eternal World there are four Bodhi Trees, that I gave to the Sovereign of the Continent there since millions of years ago before I disappeared. So how much do you need?' a message from Shen Weida.
' Really? Then I need the five Core Bodhi Tree. Does the Lord have it?' A message from Ryu.
' Okay... I'll go there!' Ryu replied to the soul message to Shen Weida.
' But I need the Sky Resources and Treasures you have. Because creating five Bodhi Trees at once requires a lot of energy.' A message from Shen Weida.
" Gege's... What's wrong with you?" Sheng Zhishu looked towards Ryu who was still speechless by closing his eyes.
" ah... There aren't. Didn't you guys go back to Quzhu World?" Ryu asked them again.
" We're just here! I want to see the view from above this cloud." Xin Chie noticed the scene behind the clouds.
" all right... Then I go to the Soul Realm for a while. There's something I'm doing there." Ryu.
" Mm." Mmm." They nodded in agreement.
" Shuijing... Fly towards the Port City that is in the territory of Taiyang Empire! We can't fly over the ocean, because gravity is so strong and dangerous even with an airship." Ryu gave the order to Tou Shuijing.
" Good Sir." Answer Tou Shuijing.
After giving instructions to Tou Shuijing, Ryu instantly made the transparent Protector surround Tou Shuijing's body then disappeared from the place towards the Soul Realm.
While in the Soul Realm, Shen Weida was now waiting for Ryu to arrive.
" The Young... Did you bring what I asked for?" Shen Weida asked.
" Ruler... It's!" Ryu gives a Space Ring that contains the Sky Resources and Treasures.
" Hmmm... Seems like enough. Then I borrow your body." Shen Weida went straight into Ryu's body until Ryu lost consciousness.
Without waiting for long, Shen Weida began to absorb all of those Sky Resources and Treasures then flicked his hands making the entire Soul Realm tremble violently with the air moving wildly.
" Yush." The five Bodhi Trees appeared in the Soul Realm until they grew bigger and bigger.
After a while from the five Bodhi Trees appeared a blood-red light floated in the air to the palm of Ryu which was being controlled by Shen Weida.
After finishing her work, Shen Weida instantly exited Ryu's body until it appeared in front of her.
" Thank you, Ruler." Ryu saluted Shen Weida.
" Mm... Then my job is done. I'll go first!" Shen Weida flew towards the Soul Pagoda until it disappeared from sight.
" In this case, there's no need to bother anymore to the Half-Eternal World." Ryu walked closer to a Lake where his Soul Roots were.
With the Spirituality he had, Ryu unleashed those five Core Bodhi Trees to fill the empty space that was in his Soul Root.
Instantly Ryu's body seemed to shake violently where he could feel the Great God's body instantly increasing to 75% and the Great God Aura he had also increased.
' What a fortune the heavens have always sided with me.' Ryu bathed while leaving the Soul Realm back on Tou Shuijing's back intending to train the strength of his body.
" Gege's... Looks like your aura is getting stronger." Sheng Zhishu felt an improvement from Ryu's body.
" Mm." Mmm." Ryu nodded not wanting to tell what had just happened about the Bodhi Tree Core, as it was too fast for them.
Their journey continued and took up to a month, they had arrived at a Forest area of Kurok City as a port city.
