Ricky startled when he heard Tina's words, and he immediately gathered his power and stopped what
he was doing, a guilty look on his face.
"Sorry, Tina. I wanted to remove the evil spirit in your heart completely, so I used too much power." He
grimaced slightly, and then turned to the Dragon Intent Grass.
"Do you know what I should do next? How can I help her?" "I have no idea. I'm actually surprised that
the evil spirit's influence is so powerful!" the Dragon Intent Grass blurted out.
"Since the chromatic energy in your Soul Sea can resist it, more or less, you'd better seal it first.
And since you know something about the Heavenly Array, you can suppress it first with the help of your
chromatic energy," it further suggested. Ricky sighed and replied unhappily, "Then I guess that's all I
can do for now. I hope she won't feel the power I leave in her body."
Afterward, Ricky combined the mysterious axe's chromatic energy with the array he had prepared
beforehand to suppress the evil spirit mass.
As soon as he accomplished everything he needed to do, he bid farewell to everyone.
Then, he stepped on the road to the Middle Land with Tina and Amelia.
The three of them traveled for a while and stopped by the coastline. They stood side by side silently, as
they admired the waves crashing against the shore.
"Tina, how do we get to the Middle Land? Is there somewhere in particular that we need to go
through?" Ricky asked. Deep inside, he felt incredibly moved at that moment because it was the
beginning of his new journey.
"The endless sea and endless mountain," replied Tina enthusiastically. "We don't have the guidance of
saints, so if we want to go through the endless sea and the endless mountain, I'm afraid we have to go
through all kinds of dangerous places!"
"Ha-ha! That's all right. Dangerous places make any journey more interesting!" Ricky told her with a
bright grin.
"Anyway, we don't have to worry about the forces at the Emperor Level in the sea, as they won't make
things difficult for us. After all, the Old Oriental Emperor and Mason have already communicated with
them," he continued. "So, the dangerous place should be located in the endless mountain."
"Indeed. There are many forces at the Sage Level in the endless mountain. And I believe that they are
more dangerous than those in the sea," Tina said, nodding along.
"Ricky, I will follow you wherever you decide to go through. I just hope that you will not look down on
me because of my humble strength," Amelia suddenly remarked with a shy smile.
"Don't worry, Amelia. You are too beautiful for him to dislike," Tina chimed in with a teasing smile, which
widened even more when Amelia's face turned bright red.
Soon, without turning their backs on the alluring waves, they resumed walking along the shore.
They purposefully chose remote paths as they moved forward because Ricky didn't want to meet any
trouble.
However, not long after they went deep into the sea area, two figures appeared. They were the Wood
Saint and the Metal Fire Saint.
Ricky, Tina, and Amelia were taken aback by the appearance of the two saints.
"What brings you here, sirs?" Ricky asked, confused.
"Ace genius! Of course, we are here to see you off." The two saints smiled lightly at the dumbfounded
expression on their faces.
"Sirs, I am humbled by your words!" Ricky responded quickly, and it seemed like his words were
amusing to them, for both of them suddenly burst into laughter.
"Ha-ha! Ha-ha!"
"Anyway, let's cut the crap and get to the point," the Wood Saint said after their laughter died down.
"We belong to the same force, and it's called the Five-element Sect.
It's just that the Five-element Sect has split into several parts. We will have three more years before we
can accomplish the promise of protecting the land for a thousand years. And initially, we wanted to take
you to the Middle Land when that time comes.
However, we didn't expect you to become a spiritual emperor so soon!"
"Thank you for your kindness!" Ricky expressed his gratitude. "I just want to go to the Middle Land in
advance, because there is someone there whom I miss very much."
"Ha-ha, we understand. We only came here to give you something," the Metal Fire Saint said with a
smile. As soon as the words passed from his lips, he flipped his palm and handed a five-colored token
to Ricky.
"This is the token of the Five-element Sect. With this token, you can enter the Five-element Sect, and
you can also ask the disciples to do something for you.
You are utterly unfamiliar with the place and the people in the Middle Land. If you need any help, you
can go to the Five-element Sect."
Ricky's eyes widened in surprise at the unexpected gift. He accepted the token and then profusely
expressed his thanks to the two saints sincerely.
He would not refuse their help, because he really needed it. And besides, it would be hypocritical of
him to refuse their help.
"You are most welcome. Perhaps, when you grow up and become more powerful, we might need your
help with many things." The two saints laughed as they spoke, but they weren't joking.
In their minds, Ricky was qualified and would undoubtedly be a big help to them.
After all, if it were not for Ricky's talent, he could not have attracted their attention.
"I will try my best to fulfill your wish," Ricky replied as he bowed to the two saints, smiling all the while.
"You must be careful along the way, especially when you pass the endless mountain," the Wood Saint
reminded. "Actually, we can lead you directly to the Middle Land right now.
But we are afraid that you will not be willing to accept our help. We believe that in your heart, passing
through the endless mountain is also a kind of training."
They truly knew Ricky well. They had not even finished speaking when Ricky jumped in, shaking his
head. "There's no need for that, sirs. It's said that there are a lot of Treasures from Heaven and Earth in
the endless mountain. I don't want to miss them."
After that conversation, Ricky, Tina, and Amelia continued their journey.
"Do you think we will realize our dreams?" the Wood Saint said to his companion with longing, as he
watched Ricky and the two women disappearing in the distance.
The Metal Fire Saint walked closer to him, touched his shoulder comfortingly, and said,
"Our Five-element Sect has been divided for thousands of years. If there is still not a powerful man who
can unite us, I'm afraid no one will know about our Five-element Sect in another thousand years." He
cut himself off, staring into the horizon for a second as if he was sorting his thoughts. Then he
continued,
"I think, as long as Ricky is willing to, he will no doubt reform the Five-element Sect in the future with
our support."
"Honesty, Ricky, you are probably the most respected warrior among the four lands.
There are even two saints who came to see you off," Tina remarked while they were walking.
"I'm confident that it won't be long before you become the most respected person in the whole
continent," Amelia added proudly.
"You two..." Ricky shook his head, speechlessly. The two women's explicit admiration for him was
embarrassing, so he sought to change the topic.
He asked Tina, "By the way, do you know anything about the Five-element Sect?"
"Sorry. I don't have any information on that sect. You see, the forces where the saint guardians belong
to are located in the outer region of the Middle Land.
On the other hand, my clan is a force based in the inner region, so..." answered Tina. "It is said that the
Middle Land has the outer region, the middle region, and the inner region. And the forces at the Sage
Level of the inner region are the most powerful. That means you have a good background, Tina!"
Amelia praised Tina sincerely. But Tina shook her head sadly and contradicted her, saying, "They might
be great forces, but even though they are influential and powerful, they still have to do some things
against their will!"
Their conversation was interrupted by Ricky, who suddenly stiffened and began looking around
vigilantly. "You two, get in the zone first," he instructed them abruptly, sounding serious and wary.
"Ricky, what's going on? Did you see anyone?" Tina asked once Ricky had taken them into the
Massacring Zone.
"I felt two spiritual emperors approaching us. And it appears that they are coming without good intent,"
Ricky explained at once.
"Who are they?"
Tina sounded alarmed and worried, especially because she couldn't detect the presence of the
strangers. "I don't know. I've never seen them before. Perhaps, they are spiritual emperors from the
sea area," he guessed.
Outwardly, Ricky felt that the two strangers were already around him. He said aloud, "Now that you two
are here, please show yourselves. Hiding in the dark is not what the spiritual emperor should do. If you
refuse to fight valiantly, you will lose your firm will."
"Ha-ha, no wonder you are an ace genius. What you said indeed makes sense!" Not far away from
Ricky, two figures landed on the ground gracefully. They were chuckling in amusement and had smug
smirks on their faces.
