Actually, it was not because Gage trusted Ricky very much that he dared expose his body to Ricky
without protection. It was because Ricky couldn't do anything to him in such a case. After all, no matter
what happened, Rodger was standing by his side.
Ricky sat down beside him, as his Devourer Zone and Chaotic Fire Zone directly appeared behind him.
The Chaotic Fire Zone could purify any kind of sacred fire, while the Devourer Zone could devour all
impurities. Once the two zones worked together, any sacred fire could be purified thirty percent more
than before with ease.
Gage was not a bad guy and Ricky trusted him. In Ricky's opinion, there was no need for him to
suspect anybody he had decided to trust.
Gage, on the other hand, gathered all the Sacred Unicorn Fire into his heart at once, because his blood
power could be purified to the greatest extent if the process took place in his core—the heart.
"Oh! Gage gathered the Sacred Unicorn Fire into his heart! It seems that he is quite determined to do
so," the Dragon Intent Grass said with appreciation.
"I think so too. I should not underestimate him. In fact, if I were him, I may not do this because it's too
risky. I'm afraid I have to respect him in this regard," Ricky said.
As Ricky activated his two Supreme Skills to the extreme, he quickly entered the process of purifying.
And it took four days to finish this process.
"Gage, try using your Sacred Unicorn Fire again.
Let's wait and see if it is different from before," Ricky said.
"Okay!"
Nodding slightly, Gage condensed the Sacred Unicorn Fire into his right fist to feel it carefully. Then, his
face immediately brightened with excitement. Obviously, he could feel the favorable change in his fire.
Boom! The sacred fire exploded when Gage suddenly punched out, and the space in front of him
shattered into pieces.
"Gage, how long did it take for the space to heal?" Rodger asked expectantly.
"Four seconds more than before!" Gage said excitedly. "That is to say, the purity of my Sacred Unicorn
Fire has increased by more than thirty percent, which means my strength has increased significantly."
"Did you say more than thirty percent? Wow!" Rodger and Eric exclaimed, gasping in shock at the
same time.
Queenie, who was standing by the side, looked at Ricky in astonishment. Once again, she was
overwhelmed by his great power.
"You improved by more than thirty percent. That's great! I'm happy that I haven't disappointed you,
Gage," Ricky said with a faint smile.
"Ricky, I don't want to say thanks because I feel like words are too shallow to show my deep
appreciation for what you have done. I just want to say that in case you need my help, I will never
hesitate to help you no matter how difficult it will be," Gage said, expressing his gratitude to Ricky with
all his heart.
This improvement could not be more important to Gage. It was like he was given three drops of the
blood essence of the Sacred Unicorn.
"Ha-ha, then I will keep your words in mind," Ricky said happily, smiling back warmly at Gage.
In return, Gage gave Ricky a cluster of Sacred Unicorn Fire, so Ricky had one more kind of sacred fire
now.
'Excluding the Fire Dragon Extremity, I already have eleven kinds of sacred fire and peculiar fire. I am
really looking forward to collecting all the one hundred and eight kinds of sacred fire and peculiar fire
and integrating them into the Chaotic Fire. I wonder how powerful it will be,' Ricky thought to himself in
expectation.
Previously, he thought it was impossible to collect all the one hundred and eight kinds of sacred fire
and peculiar fire. But now, after collecting one-tenth of them, he was feeling more confident that he
could do it successfully.
The two groups talked for a while and parted with each other soon after.
Although it was not time to leave the human devil's ancestral land yet, they had to seize the moment
and find other opportunities in the following days, because the ancestral land opened only once during
an era.
That was why Ricky and Queenie continued to search for Treasures from Heaven and Earth.
During this time, they did not encounter any devil. They guessed that it was because of Scales' failure
that all the other devils had retreated. The devils had come in an attempt to get the grand humanoid
evil tree and to find the passage from the ancestral land of human devils to the continent, but
unfortunately for them, they had failed. Ricky was too powerful for them, so they naturally didn't want to
stay here any longer.
Of course, the most important thing during this process was the progress of Ricky's own strength.
He calculated that after only a few battles, he would be able to break through and become a two-star
lower spiritual emperor.
When it was time, Ricky and Queenie tied off all their loose ends and left the ancestral land. They were
the biggest winners, so they were in a good mood.
The mutant working for Queenie met them as soon as they returned. He immediately asked, "My Lady,
how is everything going? Did you manage to obtain the grand humanoid evil tree?"
"Yes, I have. The only grand humanoid evil tree of this current era belongs to our Murong Clan,"
answered Queenie proudly. The grand humanoid evil tree flashed behind her.
"That's great! I knew you could do it," the mutant breathlessly responded. His eyes were glued to the
tree as if he was trying to imbed the image in his mind.
"This time, I have to give ninety-nine percent of the credit to Ricky. If it weren't for him, I might have
died there," Queenie said to the mutant then.
"Thank you very much, Mister Ricky!" The mutant thanked Ricky immediately.
Meanwhile, he thought to himself, 'Miss Queenie seems to have changed her attitude towards this
man. It looks like they have become friends after the time spent together. So Ricky has been approved
by her.'
The mutants appeared unsure of what to say and then blurted out,
"It's very good that you've befriended an incredible demi-spiritual emperor!" "Actually—" Queenie
interrupted him immediately, "Ricky is not a demi-spiritual emperor anymore. He has already become a
spiritual emperor."
Ricky seemed uncomfortable with the discussion of his strength, so he just turned to the mutant and
stiffly nodded. "I'm flattered."
Soon, Queenie asked Ricky again with a hopeful look on her face, "Ricky, are you sure you don't want
to go to the Middle Land with us? If it's possible, I hope you can come to our clan first."
"I will go to the Middle Land, but not now. I still have a lot of things to deal with here. Please rest
assured that when I have become stronger and decide to set out for the Middle Land, I will surely take
a trip to your clan. I won't forget that you still owe me three favors," said Ricky with a teasing smile.
"Don't worry. I won't forget, as well," replied Queenie with a smile.
"By the way, you and your race have to pay attention to the devil race," Ricky reminded Queenie
suddenly, and his face darkened with concern.
"That's for sure. I'll tell my father as soon as I get home," she reassured him. She knew that Ricky had
good instincts, so if he was really concerned about this matter, then it was bound to be taken seriously.
"Goodbye for now, Ricky. I will take these human devils from the Nether Manor away so that they won't
cause you any trouble in the future."
Finally, after that conversation, they said goodbye to each other.
Ricky was, of course, heading for the Oriental College. On the way, he said to the Dragon Intent Grass,
"When I'm well prepared, I'm going to the Middle Land, and my path of martial arts will enter a new
phase. Many people and things are waiting for me in the Middle Land."
As he said this, two familiar delicate figures appeared in Ricky's mind.
"Yes, if you want to make rapid progress, the other four lands are no longer suitable for you. You have
to go to the Middle Land," the Dragon Intent Grass said in agreement.
"How time flies! You were a completed spiritual king when I began to follow you. Now, you're already a
spiritual emperor. I'm looking forward to seeing you become a saint."
"Ha-ha, that day will come soon. My next journey is the path to become a saint." Ricky smiled.
A few hours later, Ricky arrived at Oriental College.
As soon as they heard the news, the Old Oriental Emperor, Tina, and several others stopped what they
were doing and gathered together around Ricky.
"Sure enough, Ricky has become a spiritual emperor!" the Old Oriental Emperor excitedly proclaimed
when he sensed Ricky's aura. It was finally that of a real spiritual emperor!
"In the past year, I ran across some opportunities and became a spiritual emperor by luck," Ricky told
them bashfully, smiling all the while.
