Split

Senior Sarak did not trouble Rui for much longer, leaving to allow Rui to get the rest that he needed and deserved.

Rui on the other hand, had plenty of time to think about what he needed and wanted to.

He thought about his current circumstances.

('Complicated…') He sighed.

He had not forgotten his original predicament that set him on the path in the journey to the west. He needed to become strong enough to eliminate the threats to his family and himself. In order to do that, he needed to at least reach the Senior Realm at a bare minimum. Otherwise, he could forget trying to kill Chairman Deacon.

That was why reaching the Senior Realm well within the time limit of ten years was his sub-goal.

That was why he traveled to places like the Umiana Trench, Thundering Valley, Crexeet Town, and the Floating Sect. These places all made him stronger in some fashion or the other.
