Qi?
Ryu stood in silence for a very long while, his mind trying to figure out where to take his next step. He was quite confident in himself, but even he knew that it was very much possible for him to make mistakes. He wouldn't be foolish enough to believe himself infallible.
If he had his Founding Dao currently, it would have been a small matter to do this. In fact, if it wasn't because of the situations he had been thrust into recently, he might have already chosen to do it long ago. But now, it was difficult…
The only potential way forward seemed to be to form a stopgap measure, re-establish his Dao Heart, and then make changes later. But this issue with that was that he had no idea if that would even be possible. For example, if he tried to change the path of his Qi Realm Refinement now, it wouldn't be a simple matter. It would require a purge and an entire overhaul.
