Runes

Ryu quietly observed the Higher Mortal Plane for several weeks. 

In truth, he had never expected to spend so long here. But, he unexpectedly found it quite peaceful. That in combination with the fact Ailsa was still deep in meditation and he didn't really have much of a choice but to finally take a break. 

In this place, there was no cultivation he could accomplish. After all, he had long since left the Mortal Realms and without Immortal Qi, he could no longer improve himself. But, he oddly found himself relaxing instead as he observed what remained of the Tor Bloodline. 

It was suffice to say that Ryu's actions had left a Dynasty that had ruled for countless generations in shambles. The Tor Kingdom was no more and it was the Opes Kingdom that had once been the weakest that was currently thriving.
