Vessels

Ryu didn't want to wait. Although he knew that he had more leeway with his Chaotic Silk Meridians now, more than he ever had, he still wanted to be certain that he was most definitely walking the correct path. If he didn't do this now, who knew if he would accidentally take a step so wrong that he would regret it for a lifetime? He had made recultivating sounds like an easy task, but that wasn't even true recultivating as his cultivation level never actually fell. 

In this world, if you took a step forward, you would often be finished. 

Ryu had considered methods of wiping cultivation clean, but such methods were drastic and the required one to restart from absolute zero. And then, from further on, every step they took would be arduous and difficult. That was especially so when it came to recomprehending what had been lost. 

But now, he had the path right before him. How could he wait?
