The restrictions on the technique made sense.

This technique couldn't be considered weak by any means. Techniques were meant to work against those of your level, any that could work even a single level above was considered a top tier technique amongst top tier techniques.

Whether this technique was strong or weak wasn't decided by who it could be used against, but rather how effective it was against enemies of the same level, and if Ryu was correct, mastering this technique could practically make something invincible at the same cultivation level. If you had a middling comprehension, you would never be touched. If you had a perfect comprehension, you could even use it to kill in a single strike without your enemy even being capable of reacting.New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novelenglish.net . Firᴇ.net

Such a technique was excellent.

But Ryu had his reasons for his reservations. The fact that a technique of his would suddenly become useless against an enemy that was too high leveled was a huge turn off.

Usually, even if he relied on Common Grade techniques, although it might become ineffective, it would never truly become useless. If he wanted, he could still use the Dao Charm techniques he had comprehended against stronger enemies, and they might even still be effective in certain situations it was just that they could no longer be the foundation of his combat strength.

This technique, however, as though it was a faucet, was entirely useless the moment the knob was turned past a certain point. It couldn't be used at all. And this sort of thing turned Ryu off completely.

He already had a Focus Qi issue. This technique would be nothing short of a Focus Qi guzzler. He was at a point where he had to economize what he had left. This was the price to pay for his Dao so far outpacing his foundational talents. Using his talents to their peak potential with his Dao as a guide took far more out of him than it would for more others.

Ryu didn't abandon it immediately. He began to think about his options.

How would the Unbalance Mantra work on this technique?

Unfortunately, there was no easy way to check without putting in the work already. If the Unbalance Mantra could help him to break the normal laws that bound this technique and push it past its limiters, this would make it worth it... Depending.

The Unbalance Mantra already placed a great strain on his Focus Qi, if he stacked it with a technique like this, would he even last a few minutes in battle?

Then again, this would only need to be used under strenuous circumstances to begin with.

Ryu closed his eyes and exhaled.

In truth, he was on a ticking timeline right now. He knew it wouldn't be long before the Sky Gods of the Heavenly Dew Pavilion caught up. However, the reason he was taking his time was because he knew that whether he left now or later, the difference would be the same. It was either he would be able to vanish through the void, or he wouldn't.

A weak Sky God would never be able to find him. However, a strong Sky God, even if he left hours in advance, would be able to find his traces through the void. Ripping space open would always leave markers. Unless he could escape far enough away, it was useless.

But given his current limits, he could only hold out for a short while at best.

The best choice he had was to pretend to be just like the three young men previously. Why would anyone believe that a Dao Pedestal Realm expert could outdo three Half-Step World Sea Realm experts.

In addition, Ryu had another benefit. While the common people might not know about the Radiant Star Sect, the Sky Gods were definitely in the know. The badge on his waist was currently a protective talisman. So long as he didn't seem to have anything they wanted, they wouldn't be willing to take the risk.

So, Ryu took his time, having already made his choice in this matter.

Suddenly, just a few seconds later, his gaze snapped open, a blazing intent shimmering within them.

He had just thought of something that just might change everything.

"Little woman, what do you know about Constellations? Have you ever heard of the Radiant Star Sect?"

"Little wha-the Radiant Star Sect? You mean the Dual Radiance Sect?"

There was a faint excitement in the Favor Alchemy Sky God's words that made Ryu narrow his eyes.

"Not anymore."

Her tone dimmed. "Right... They did split into two... That's unfortunate... They're not bad, their inheritance is very good, I've learned some of it just by watching from afar."

Ryu didn't pursue the last of her words, instead he asked another question.

"What do you think is the viability of fusing the [Absolute Domain] and the Constellation techniques of Radiant Star Sect."

The Favor Alchemy Sky God was silent for a long time.

"... I guess that for you, that would probably be the only way. This method isn't bad, if you have the talent for it. It will depend on you."

Ryu's brows raised, but he didn't say anything. The Favor Alchemy Sky God's had all but confirmed that she was not human. At the very least, she had a Bloodline or a talent that made learning this technique far easier than it would be for Ryu.

But Ryu had his own methods.

If he used the communication aspect of the Radiant Star Sect's core technique and resonated with the constellations in the region, the stars in the region would be reflected in his mind. He wouldn't have to waste time and energy memorizing or calculating, at least not for the star map. He could put all of his energy into the calculation of his next step in the movement technique.

In addition, if he moved his Realm Heart around in that Plane as he moved through Real Plane, then the resonance could be almost instantaneous.

The most difficult preparation aspects of the technique would be dealt with. And, because he didn't need to assimilate the Star Qi into his body, he wouldn't be limited by his lack of Bloodline or his cultivation level, he just needed to use the Constellation as an extension of his senses.

Ryu's eyes glowed. "This will cut the time I need to spend learning this technique to just a fraction. Even with the drawbacks, this would make it worthwhile to learn!'
