Ryu didn't say much to these words. His perspective on having multiple wives had already changed long ago, the moment he leapt over the hurdle he and Elena had faced.
He was Ryu Tatsuya. He believed that his destiny was to stand at the very top of the world. Not just any woman was worthy to stand by his side. However, those that would earn such a right, he wouldn't allow to suffer even the slightest grievance.
Originally, his plan was to remain with one woman for the length of his life. Even when he met Ailsa, that held true and he didn't waver… At least not initially.
The Heavens of Sacrum, though, had a different plan for him. Ailsa had done too much for him, given too much to him, for him to simply ignore her. Like this, his first love might have been Elena, but his second true love was Ailsa.
The situation with Eska and Isemeine was especially complicated, but he had already come to accept it. As far as he saw it, the two of them, although he only viewed them as concubines and not his official wives, were still considered to be his women.
Regardless of their feelings, when he chose to settle down at the world's peak, he expected them to be by his side as well. If not for this, he would never prepare such a valuable gift for Eska, he would have instead found another method to use it and still keep his promise to Flowing Frost.
And of course, there was Yaana. It was impossible for him to ignore the meaning she held to him and she was, without a doubt, his third wife. That was how he saw it and no one would ever change it.
The current Ryu was neither opposed nor for accepting more wives. He felt no need to actively search for such a thing, but he also didn't feel the same pressure he once did to reject it either. His heart was calm and without ripple in this regard.
A new wife truly would be very useful to him, especially as his Bloodlines quickly increased in strength. It also didn't need to be said how useful Selheira's Primordial Yin would be to him, although he wasn't quite sure if things worked the same in the True Martial World or not.
But what he did know was that he hadn't reached the point of needing to have Selheira as his woman no matter what, and he also didn't plan on pursuing her either. At best, he had a favorable impression of the woman and had taken a liking to her.
This liking, however, was even less potent than the pull he had felt toward Sarriel. After all, while Selheira was an extremely gentle woman, the kind that most men would pine after and dream of, to Ryu, Sarriel, or rather the Sarriel he had thought he had come to know, was far more to his liking.
That said, his crush on Sarriel had vanished with the wind the moment he saw that hidden side of her. Right now, he only felt gratitude for the information she had left behind for him, but nothing else.
Likewise, if he came to find out something about Selheira that changed his mind about her, it would be even easier for him to forget what liking he had for her as well.
Ryu was just this sort of person. His personality wasn't to the liking of many, but quite frankly, he simply couldn't be bothered to care.
All that mattered was that he knew his own heart.
Of course, what Elder Aika didn't know was that there was a Clan of women out there who did as they pleased with their bodies, and it also happened to be a Clan that stood at the very pinnacle of the True Martial World. Maybe if she had been born into the Martial Gods, her outlook on life would be much different than what it was currently.
It took Ryu no more than a brief instant of time to organize such thoughts in his mind, and he seemed to become calmer.
His heart shone like a refined jade and he exhaled a breath.
The air around him shifted and his gaze became tranquil. There was a slight shift in his body and his soul and a rush of powerful, but illusory energies twisted around them.
When a Dao broke through, it didn't need to gather up energy, at least not until it formed a Godhood. For such a breakthrough, the only way to tell was by the way the energies resonating around them. But there was such a large tempest of it, that several gazes would help but land on the trio linked together.
Of the three of them, both Selheira and Elder Aika closed their eyes. The sudden resonance brought about by the breakthrough in Dao was greatly beneficial for those around the person in question, and especially for those so close to him.
However, because Ryu was the most relaxed, it made it difficult to tell that he was the one undergoing the breakthrough at all.
The expressions of the individuals changed. Such a powerful Dao Resonance? How was it even possible?
Their gazes bounced back and forth between the trio.
They immediately eliminated Elder Aika because she should have formed her Godhood already. This meant that her Daos wouldn't just resonate with worldly energies, it would also directly absorb them.
This just left Selheira and Ryu, but it was just too difficult to tell which of them it was. The energies seemed to slightly favor Ryu more, making it seem like it was him. But such a powerful Dao… How could it be in the hands of an Immortal Ring Realm pup?
This level of momentum felt like one of the final breakthroughs before forming a Godhood, it just made more sense if it was Selheira. But…
The expressions of the Hidden Blade Sect warped. They had felt ignored and disdained. Now that Elder Aika had closed her eyes and focused on the resonance of this energy, wasn't it the best time to attack?

"Die!"
A raging mechanical palm tens of meters across descended toward the trio.
