"Sir, are you familiar with the Sealed Land?" Mordechai's father asked Ricky sincerely.
"Sir, Mordechai and I come from the same sect. I hope you don't mind, but please, just call me Ricky
from now on," Ricky replied. "Well, I know a thing or two about the Sealed Land."
"Then you must know that when creatures in the Sealed Land reach a certain level, they could no
longer break through to a higher level," Mordechai's father mentioned.
"I see. In that sense, one can at most become a two-star lower spiritual emperor here, right?" Ricky
said with a slight frown.
"Yes. And I am aware that you can now challenge warriors stronger than you. Aren't you now already a
two-star lower spiritual emperor?" Mordechai's father asked.
"Yes, sir!" Ricky nodded his head.
As soon as Ricky said his words, everyone fell silent.
That was because, at that point, they all felt the hopelessness creep through their spines.
'This will be the end of us. Does this mean that we'll stay in Ricky's supreme weapon forever? I don't
think that Devil Flood Dragon would ever leave his post near the rift. Who could blame him? If we were
in his shoes, we would do the same. But what should we do now?' everyone in the Devourer Zone
thought to themselves dejectedly.
As everyone was in despair, the Devil Flood Dragon's voice echoed across the entire Sealed Land,
"Lowly humans, it would be impossible for you to pass through this rift.
I will stay here and wait for our kind. When the day comes, we will get out of here and seize the
continent again."
"Is there any other way around this, sir?" Ricky asked again, unwilling to accept the daunting fact.
"I...I'm afraid that I can't think of any plan!" Mordechai's father replied frustratingly.
"Tell me, father. What happened to our ancestral land? Why won't you let me enter it? And besides, the
primitive cultivation methods of the Ultimate Golden Body and our Sorcerous Combat Body are inside
it," Mordechai cut in sharply.
Upon hearing his statement, Ricky suddenly became curious. For so long, he wanted to get his hands
on the primitive cultivation method of the Ultimate Golden Body.
"In that case, then, I have to tell you the truth," Mordechai's father said with a deep sigh.
"Our patriarch was the one who sealed us. However, no one really knew why he did this.
After trapping us here, he entered our ancestral land with all the strong warriors at the Divine Level and
the Emperor Level from our tribe. Then, he set up some restrictions to prevent others from approaching
the ancestral land. And from the moment they got inside, none of them had come out.
The restrictions on our ancestral land disappeared several eras ago. At that time, the strongest among
us were only two-star lower spiritual emperors because we were stuck in the Sealed Land.
As far as I know, more than ten elders had entered the ancestral land, but only one of them got out. But
when we found him, he had completely mad. There was never a day when we saw him not paranoid
and scared. Not long after, he died.
That's why the elders in our tribe ordered us to stay away from our ancestral land as much as
possible," Mordechai's father explained briefly.
"I see! Now, it makes sense. Thank you for telling me this, father," Mordechai said as he furrowed his
eyebrows.
"But if we can't get our hands on the primitive cultivation method of the Sorcerous Combat Body, we
will not be able to rise again even if we could get the chance to get out of here," he added.
"That's right. Without the primitive cultivation method of the Sorcerous Combat Body, it's impossible for
us to rise again even if we can find our way out of here," Mordechai's father said and nodded.
"So, father, now that you have mentioned this, please tell us where to find our ancestral land. I want to
try my luck there," Mordechai pleaded seriously as he looked his father straight in the eye.
"I suppose that I won't stop you anymore since you have already made up your mind," Mordechai's
father answered.
He did his best to prevent his son from going to their ancestral land. However, it seemed that he had no
other choice but to give in to his son's plea, especially in their current situation. Surely, they would
rather die than hide in the Devourer Zone for the rest of their lives.
Soon after, he filled them in on the location of their ancestral land.
After a while, Ricky and Mordechai set off and headed for the ancestral land of the Desolate Sorcery
tribe. Ricky had decided to go with Mordechai. But somehow, this was more than just to get his hands
on the primitive cultivation method of the Ultimate Golden Body. What was more important for him was
to keep Mordechai safe from harm.
After all, he possessed many zones where they could hide in case they got into some serious trouble.
Apart from Ricky's presence, he also took Amelia and Tina with him as they were also in his zone.
As for the others, they remained in the Devourer Zone of his shadowy replica.
Meanwhile, as they landed on the site, they noticed that the entrance to the Desolate Sorcery tribe's
ancestral land was at the junction of the Sealed Land where the Devil Flood Dragon tribe was trapped
and the Sealed Land the Desolate Sorcery tribe was stuck.
On the other hand, almost all the creatures of the Devil Flood Dragon tribe were looking for them in the
Sealed Land where the Desolate Sorcery tribe lived. Therefore, it was impossible for them to spot
Ricky and Mordechai.
After they reached here, Ricky was shocked by the cruel and terrible conditions where the Devil Flood
Dragon tribe was sealed.
At that moment, they could clearly see the ancient array which trapped the said tribe. But inside of it,
everything was pitch black. Moreover, tremendous windstorms appeared from time to time.
As he observed the place, Ricky could not deny the intensity of the terrifying power of those
windstorms. 'It must probably feel like hell being trapped here all day,' he wondered as he saw the cruel
living conditions in the place.
Apart from this, the array released blood-colored power. It was in the shape of lightning and could
sense any creatures from the devil race, whipping their souls into agony once detected.
"Without a doubt, this is a very harsh place indeed," Ricky remarked.
"But even such a punishment can't make up for the sins that the creatures of the devil race had
committed on the continent," Mordechai commented. "If we were exiled, I bet that the devil race would
get us some place much worse than this."
"Sadly, I think you are right. Invading our territory has become the belief and the goal of the devil race.
This only means that we must fight back in full force. They can't get away with this," Ricky said angrily.
Meanwhile, a drop of blood essence suddenly emerged out from Mordechai's forehead.
"Hey, are you sure about that? After we enter the ancestral land, we might lose our lives there,"
Mordechai asked as he looked at Ricky grimly.
"We'll die sooner or later if we don't get in now. Why don't we just give it a shot? Maybe if we're lucky,
we can find a way out there," Ricky responded decisively.
Hearing what Ricky said, Mordechai let go of his apprehension. Soon after, he used his blood essence
to make a small array so that they could enter the ancestral land through it.
Afterwards, two wisps of invisible forces shrouded their bodies entirely.
In the blink of an eye, the duo was transported to another world.
Generally speaking, the Desolate Sorcery tribe's ancestral land was in a desolate world, which meant
that it was supposed to be full of barren hills and yellow sand.
But when they arrived, they found that evil spirit filled most of the world. Instead of desolate yellow
sand, what greeted them was black land.
In an instant, Ricky and Mordechai felt a sense of fear in their hearts for no apparent reason. Little did
they know that their bodies were being penetrated by an invisible dark power.
"Something big did happen in our ancestral land. And I believe that the devil race must be responsible
for that. Our patriarch sealed us back then, and I guess that has something to do with them too,"
Mordechai said with much resentment as he looked around the place.
"Mordechai, activate your blood power to reject the invisible dark power. I have a feeling that we might
lose our senses if we keep letting it enter our bodies. The evil spirit that fills your ancestral land is very
destructive. I feel that it is more powerful than the most powerful among the eight types of evil spirit of
the devil race—the Heavenly Jail Evil Spirit,"
Ricky recalled.
"Thank you for warning!" Mordechai replied. Immediately, he activated his Sorcerous Combat Body and
used his blood power to keep the dark power from approaching them.
"Come on! Let's go to the core area. Most likely, our patriarch left the primitive cultivation methods of
the Sorcerous Combat Body and the Ultimate Golden Body there," Mordechai informed Ricky.
But as they were about to continue their journey, they heard a shrill voice in their ears. It was
something that resembled the cries of a baby.
