The Celebration (Part-1)

Celestia sat across Ryuu, keeping an eye on him while he sat in a meditative pose cultivating his soul.

'Ryuu is growing up too fast, and if I try to slow him down, I fear that woman would strike again, and it would be dangerous for him.'

Ryuu let out a shudder as he opened his eyes with a gasp, while Celestia quickly went by his side as she spoke gently, "Easy, there child, you have done well."

Ryuu spoke with a pained look on his face while he rubbed his chest, "That is horrible, cultivating soul is so painful, and I, barely made any progress."

Celestia gave him a look full of sympathy as she spoke, "Patience, child patience."

"Unfortunately, you never had the chance to temper your patience, but from now onwards, you will have to face the true harshness of cultivation."

"If cultivation were so easy, then we would have multiple top-level cultivators running around."

Ryuu sighed as he spoke, "But, it is too damn painful."
