Sect masters third disciple! Mooneyes secret

"Old ghost why are you so aggressive in this matter? Is it because of your granddaughter? She and Ryuk have reconciled there is no need to keep badgering this youth!" Goboro shouted. Old ghost had a pensive stance although simply ignoring Goboro and requesting the sect master to pass a motion. The sect master raised one of his old eyebrows in an amused manner and laughed "So the problem is that Ryuk might take revenge and he might bring more trouble? Currently our sect is in the midst of a decline even if a small problem arises to the other sects it is a huge deal no matter what. Therefore Ryuk is allowed to stay in the sect just like before no changes. And about the issue of his loyalty. I shall take him as my disciple so there's nothing you have to worry about little ghost." The sect inner sanctums went into an uproar. The sect master was taking a new disciple after 100 years. The news couldnt be kept back and in a few hours the entire continent knew about it.

...

Ryuk was walking down a strange corridor encased in a layer of mist with a strange expression on his face. Finally Ryuk reached the end of the corridor after an hour. Ryuk entered the room and was filled in bewilderment and childish joy. All around there were old and dirty books, but they were held in a water bubble that floated up and down mysteriously. The room was drenched in green water that brought about calmness and serenity, but Ryuk thought the room was covered in green tea. Ryuk constantly heard the singing of bells only to see tiny drops of water falling into the water floor. Ryuk found this place to be a wonderland full of strange, but exciting items and activities. "Do you like this room? My master built it for his wife, but she died before he could give it to her so he just moved here to try and feel her essence." Ryuks new master the sect master Reil said as he descended a long stairway. Ryuk felt a slight melancholy as he observed the joyful and bizarre room with new light. Riel waved Ryuk to come to desk made out of slick and fancy ivory. Riel then handed Ryuk a few books and said "Take these as my gift. The first book is a soul art it'll help train and focus your soul and when you become proficient in it you will be able to fly. The second book is a study that an old Buddhist friend of mine did it was on the behavior of a chaos beast that had accidentally entered our realm, but the drawings aren't perfect and you probably wont get much out of it. The third gift is a sword Manual I heard you are good with the sword and your intent is powerful." Ryuk was stunned not only by the extravagant gifts, but also by the word realm so he asked "There's more than one realm?!" The sect master seemed to be looking at a country bumpkin and explained "Boy there much you don't know. one realm? There are infinite realms! We are but a tiny micro realm." Ryuks mind was blown away and he asked many things all of which left him even more confused and scared. First he had learnt that his realm and the 5 sects are just subsidiaries of a major realm called the spiritual realm and we are basically a mine for the major realm to suck dry of resources. Second he had Learnt that above pain stage there was another whole new stage and thats not even where it ended. Third that chaos beasts were beings that even the spiritual realm was scared of. Ryuk then asked "Is the reason the sect is so... respectful toward Mooneye because she's from... the spiritual... realm?" Ryuks voice was shaking in fear. "No. She comes from somewhere even higher that the spiritual realm. Do you know that she has a seal on her so she can become stronger and that if she removed that seal even though she would be at condensation 3 she could still beat me up with a finger." Ryuk felt a cold feeling brush up against the parts of his body that hurt her and insulted her. "You should stay away from her and that other kid Dion. You know the blonde who was next to Mooneye. That kids even more scary. Furthermore they are not the only ones here from that higher realm. It seems a few spiritual realm fellows and that higher realm beings have come in search of something. I dont know what, but it must be something fearsome." Ryuk was also confused and wanted to know when he heard a voice in his head "They are looking for you." The monster who seemed more amiable said. "What?! why!?" Ryuk screamed loudly scaring Riel. "because you defied the universes will. You are a threat to them." Ryuk was confused, but he knew no matter what he wouldn't understand yet so he just decided he would have to hide alot. Riel after seeing Ryuk calm down began to talk again "Anyway We have some more things to do, but first tell me what kind of spiritual beast is your dog. To be able to talk means its bloodline is very profound and pure." Ryuk who just remembered Ryo brought him out completely forgetting about hiding his ring. Ryuk then said fearfully in his head "Wasn't I supposed to hide this thing why am I flexing it now?" Riel not even caring started observing Ryo. "You should hide that ring of yours even I find it incredibly alluring, but dont worry when you get to the spiritual realm you can show it off then." Riel said looking at Ryo's fur. "Wait? I can go to the spiritual realm?" Riel said casually "Of course if you ascend you can easily go. That ring is rare here, but in the spiritual realm everyone has one." Ryuk felt a passion an instinct rise within him. He would ascend. It seemed natural to him to have that desire like a fish needing water.

After observing a shy Ryo Riel finally explained "This spirit pet of yours is incredible its bloodline is so powerful that I find it hard to even sense. Furthermore compared to Mooneyes spirit pet yours seems even more incredible." Ryo huffed as if saying of course and jumped into Ryuks arms. Ryuk smiled gently at his little Ryo. Ryuk then proceeded to leave the room after a few more hours of discussion.

Ryuk was told by Riel that he should just cultivate until next year when the sect competition is being held. Ryuk agreed.

six months later...

As the warm pink sun climbed up into the sky. As the yolk color colored the horizon and the slight mountain dew shimmered a loud rumble could be heard all throughout the Imperial sect. Ryuk under the guidance of the hell monster was currently breaking through to condensation 2. "Hold the laws together! use your will and command them! If you fail here the past 6 months would have been for nothing and your Ascension will be put back. As 6 two layered bases sent ripples towards a point in Ryuks dantian the repulsive force from the ripples were tearing Ryuks dantian. Ryuk roared angrily and commanded the energies to kneel, but they did not hear him. Ryuk commanded angrily again and again, but there was nothing. Ryuk silently whispered in a threatening tone "Kneel or be destroyed by me!" The silent bases shuddered in the mad craze of Ryuk and submitted. Slowly a glow filled his dantian and a castle was built with 6 towering pillar made of two pieces. "You're done. Good work." The monster congratulated Ryuk. "Its too slow. In six months I've only passed one minor boundary." Ryuk said as he huffed on the ground. "Hmph! With your natural talent and the shitty qi in this world to be able to do that is incredible. Before you were a common human and you were able to quickly advance, but now you are a universe defier, a devil, and the host of nothingness you literally are already a deity close to a saint in terms of state of existence. To use this garbage quality qi to advance it will take millions of years." Ryuk took a deep breath and said "I know, but I can't take that long. Like you said my state of existence is that of a saint or whatever, but my power is too low. I literally have all the responsibilities of a powerhouse with none of the benefits. I need to hurry and ascend." The monster huffed angrily and said "Hmph back it the day. When the jade emperor became an immortal he had to go through 3200 trials each lasting up to 3 million years. When the demon god Evana became a god it took him 5 billion years. When the boar king Fuji shi became a saint it took him 1 trillion years. Tyrant dragon saint Dagu took 1 billion years of meditation to unlock his sainthood. Dust... Never mind. Anyway as you can see it will be a long journey so dont get muddled headed in ideas of becoming a saint in a few years." Ryuk became extremely dispirited, but asked "How long did it take you to become powerful?" The monster was silent was some time it sighed and said "I was born powerful. Unlike you normal beings. Universal beings like me, The Asura, the Deva, The Buddha, The three pure ones and the countless origin beasts born from the universe itself are born strong." Ryuk looked in anger and jealousy at the monster and said "How unfair!" The monster barked angrily "Hmph! What do you know kid! In exchange for that power no matter what we do we can never get more powerful. We are trapped in our limits!" The monster seemed very anger and desired to sleep, but left a passing remark "If you truly desire speedy cultivation. You may use items. In this shitty realm there might be some divine peaches, or yang dew. I can feel some heavy yang energy coming from a forest a few 1000 km away. The yang dew will help you advance as well as allow you to create a yang body. This will help you as it will make your body focus on one part making it easier. Don't worry all the laws within you are more yang centric and I can just adapt." Ryuk apologized with a slight bow and said thank you. He then left to ask Riel about a forest.

Ryuk entered the wonder like room again. He saw the golden cloaked elder who was also his senior brother Yoko. Yoko was sitting atop a fountain meditating causing the water to become increasingly turbulent and wild. Ryuk slighted nodded his head in salute and moved towards his masters study. Inside he saw his master reading a long scroll with many fancy illustrations. "Hm? Ryuk why have you come?" Riel asked picking his head reluctantly from the scroll. Ryuk bowed and said "Master. I'm heading out for a bit and came to tell you." Riel had a concerned look on his face and said "It's still very dangerous." Ryuk said with a smile "Both within and out there is danger atleast one grants me a benefit while the other makes me look like a coward." Riel huffed "How is surviving a cowards way? But alright you can go. Its best you experience the world and also its good to let you make your own destiny. Just be careful. Where are you going by the way?" Ryuk couldnt help feel that this is what a doting grandfather would do. Ryuk explained that he was heading to a forest a few 1000km from here. "Ah. You must be talking about Sun Grove. You're probably heading there for the yang energy aren't you. I felt that your body was very biased towards yang energy so its smart to make a yang body. Although it would be an artificial Yang body without inborn Yang it's still very good. Right Ill give you a mission I received from a friend as well. My friend is from one of the five sects a Buddhist sect to be more specific. He occasionally uses the Sun Grove to enlighten his new monks, but recently there has been a demonic cultivator destroying the Sun Grove and not letting anyone in. The demonic cultivator should only be about condensation 2, but it's far Away from my friends sect and its not enough of a problem for him to deal with. He asked me to deal with it since Im closer to it, but since you're going anyway Ill just give it to you. You'll get the full reward as well so dont worry." Ryuk asked curiously "Why is there a demonic cultivator that practices in yin energy in a Yang forest?" Riel laughed and said "The Yin in a highly Yang area is condensed and purified multiple times over. You could call it a super Yin elixir." Ryuk said as he clicked his tongue "Ah I see. because in the extreme of one the extreme of the other is born." Riel said suprised "Very good."

So like that Ryuk departed from the Imperial sect in the silent night. But even a ant as small as a grain of rice can be seen if looked for hard enough. A old man with large cheekbones looked angrily at Ryuks lost figure. He chuckled in an evil manner and sent a voice transmission through a talisman.
