(West Continent )
It was seen where Ryu, Dao Luo, Yan Ran and the seven Contract Beasts were traveling towards the heart of the Western Continent.
Ryu did deliberately not pass through the settlements, because he wanted to speed up his journey.
But who would have thought, after traveling for two days now Ryu heard the sound of a fight not far from their place.
" Mister." Tou Shuijing looked towards Ryu.
" We'll see." Ryu shot towards the source of the sound.
Dao Luo, Yan Ran and the seven Contract Beasts darted towards Ryu to watch the fight.
In the battle area were seen dozens of figures including a middle-aged Man who had reached the late stage Sky Warrior with a Young Cultivator who was fighting against a Moon Cat who was a Divine Beast.
From the fight it looked unbalanced where dozens of Young Cultivators were already heavily injured and some even died.
Seeing that Ryu felt moved to help them while glancing towards Dao Luo and Yan Ran. " Dao Luo, Yan Ran... You can return to the airship." Ryu said.
" Good Sir." Dao Luo and Yan Ran nodded then Ryu flicked his hands until the two figures had already disappeared.
" Shuijing, Chaizu and others... You can return to Quzhu." Ryu did not want to invite the attention of others because of their immense strength.
" Good Sir." Tou Shuijing, Chaizu, Jiejia and the others instantly returned to Quzhu World.
As they were gone, Ryu immediately shot towards the fight hovering in the air until he dropped the Black Lightning Rain as he saw the middle-aged man was in danger.
" Duaarrs... Duaarr... Duaarr." Black Lightning snatched the body of the Moon Cat to make it instantly dying.
" Gluugs." The old man gulped in a cold sweat looking at the horror of the Black Lightning attack while staring at the figure of the Youth who had just appeared.
The Young Cultivators who were also looking at the incident were now as if their breath had stopped staring at Ryu who had the strength of a monster.
'' Monster.'' The old man and the Young Cultivator muttered, yet it could still be heard by Ryu's ears.
" Recover yourself." Ryu gave them the Recovery Pill.
" Thank you, Mr. Swordsman." The old man respectfully took the Pill and distributed it to others.
After a while their condition gradually improved to look happy while staring at Ryu full of pride.
" Thank you Mr. Swordsman for helping us." The middle-aged man lowered his head followed by the others.
" Mm-hm... I want to buy this Cat of the Month to you. Just tell me how much it costs." Ryu turned his head towards the already dying Moon Cat with the element of Lightning enveloping his body.
" Lord Swordsman take it. The value of the Pill that Master Swordsman gave us was much higher than that Moon Cat. It was you who killed him." Said the old man did not expect that the figure of the Youth in front of them was so generous despite having a terrible power.
They could imagine that if there was no help from the young man, it was certain that they would all die.
" I don't have to be sad anymore." Ryu picked up the Moon Cat and pulled her to Quzhu World and sent a soul message to Jinying in order to replace Bai Ma's Soul Core.
" Lord Swordsman... I represent the Sacred Mountain Sect to be very grateful to Master. Suppose that the Swordsman Lord can visit the Sacred Mountain Sect, we will welcome the Swordsman Lord as a guest of honor." The middle-aged man intends to give Ryu a proper reward, for saving their lives.
" I'm sorry before... For now I can't, because I still have other duties. But someday I will visit the Sacred Mountain Sect." Ryu.
" Okay, Mr. Swordsman. Wear this badge as the guest of honor of the Sacred Mountain Sect." The middle-aged man gave a Badge to Ryu.
" We'll take our leave first." The middle-aged man lowered his head which the others followed then left the place.
After they left, Ryu again continued his journey towards the heart of the Western Continent on foot.
After traveling for three days, Ryu felt the Soul Pagoda as if it was shaking violently in his Soul Realm.
The Soul Pagoda seemed to show something to Ryu, so Ryu followed the wishes of the Soul Pagoda according to his instincts.
After traveling for several hours, Ryu saw a hidden Goa that was given a transparent Protector.
Thanks to the Soul Pagoda, Ryu was able to barge into the Goa until a golden-colored shadow figure smiled kindly staring at Ryu.
" You have come at last also Great Lord." The shadow figure greeted Ryu kindly.
" Great Lord?" Ryu frowned hearing the name.
" Rightly the Great Lord. ? You have been chosen to be the Master of that Soul Pagoda." Said the shadow which was the figure of a Man who looked very handsome.
" That Soul Pagoda had been created by 17 Cultivators who had already reached the late stage Universe Swordsman before they died millions of years ago." Say that figure.
" 17 Cultivators? Senior, please explain it to me!" Ryu was a little curious about the Soul Pagoda.
" The Soul Pagoda belongs to the ancestor of the Lightning Empire. But unfortunately no one could use it, because the power of the Soul Pagoda could destroy their bodies with a flash. That's why our ancestors created a small World to store the Soul Pagoda.even I myself can't afford to take it." said the figure.
" Senior... What do you know about the Soul Pagoda?" Ask Ryu.
" The Soul Pagoda will open if you do good. For that, do good to anyone and anywhere." Say that figure.
" It just so happens that you came at the right time. Now the Lightning Empire was in chaos. I hope you can help my descendants! I'm just a fragment of a soul, so I can't do anything." continued the figure.
" Senior... I just came to this Continent, so I don't know about this Continent." Ryu.
" For that matter you don't have to worry, I will give you my knowledge of the Western Continent." The figure gave off a golden-colored light until it entered Ryu's forehead.
Instantly it was clearly drawn in Ryu's mind, as he knew several places in the Western Continent.
" Senior Thanks... I will promise to help the Lightning Empire." Ryu felt it was an obligation, as the Soul Pagoda belonged to the ancestor of the Lightning Empire.
" I can rest in peace then." The figure slowly faded until it fused with the air and disappeared.
" In this case, I'll be quicker to find the existence of the Fire Element Lord." Ryu instantly shot into the air with the Wind element he had.
Without waiting for long Ryu flew straight to a place where he could find the Desert of Fire which he thought that region was the residence of the Fire Element Lord.
In the Desert of Fire, it did have a very hot weather where none of the living creatures dared to approach the region
Under where Ryu was flying, red sand now appears to emit a thick smoke indicating that the place is very hot.
Thanks to the help of the Ice element, Ryu creates an Ice Protector that covers his entire body to get through the heat.
