Hearing his words, everyone thought that Peter was being honest. Based on how he acted, anyone
could tell that he was being sincere and that he was telling the truth, especially when they heard that he
needed their help when they entered the Life and Death Relic.
However, Ricky, George, and the others did not mind that at all. This was because they were aware
that being subjected to such a dangerous situation was very inevitable if they wanted to acquire
something of immense value.
All they knew was that they had already made up their minds to enter the Life and Death Relic even
without Peter's presence. For sure, they had already anticipated the hardships that they would
encounter on their journey. And they were more than pleased to have Peter with them.
"So, what can you say about my proposal?" Peter asked as he looked at Ricky and George, expecting
answers.
"Of course, we would go with you!" Ricky and George replied in a heartbeat at the same time.
"I'm glad to hear that. But before we go, there is something you need to know. Generally speaking, it's
not really a good idea for those who are weaker than the three-star lower spiritual emperor at the peak
to go with us. The blood-colored light in the Life and Death Relic is more erosive and powerful than
what you can feel in here. So, my suggestion is that you'd better not push yourself too hard to go
inside. I'll be off. I'll be seeing you inside when you guys make your decision,"
Peter instructed them.
As soon as he finished his words, he and the enchanting woman passed through the blood-colored rift.
After a while, the three men from the Mu Clan gave Ricky and George a nod before they left to explore
other places.
By the look in the three men's eyes, Ricky and George could clearly tell that they were dejected
knowing that it would be too dangerous for them to enter the Life and Death Relic.
They could not only see the extreme disappointment but also fear in the three guys' eyes.
And because of this lingering fear, the three men walked away despite being desperate to go inside.
Soon after, Ricky glanced at his companions, while George turned to his men.
At that moment, Ricky tried to think critically based on the situation before him.
"Guys, listen. It's up to you if you will follow me or not. Moreover, I will give respect to whatever your
decision is. But I would just like you all to know that if you decide to come with me, I promise to try my
best to keep you safe and sound," he assured his companions through telepathy.
Ricky was certain that his companions knew the risks involved in exploring the Life and Death Relic
without him mentioning it. If it were not such a dangerous place, then the three powerful disciples from
the Mu Clan would not have left in the first place. Apart from that, Peter had already warned them
about how dangerous and erosive the blood-colored light was there, and there was no reason for him
not to omit this detail to them.
"I'll stay here!" Ella decided in front of everyone.
Despite being very eager to accompany Ricky, she knew better than to go with him. And besides, she
was not that strong enough to protect herself from the blood-colored light, especially now that she had
not yet fully recovered from her injuries.
Upon hearing Ella's decision, Raylan and the others began to express the same decision of not coming
with Ricky.
Being talented warriors at the Emperor Level, they knew that if a warrior wanted to take this opportunity
to explore with Ricky, they should know that they would have to be strong enough to keep themselves
safe.
However, Ricky did not expect that Hayes and Ashley decided to stay.
"Ricky, don't take this the wrong way. We know ourselves. If we get there, our lives would be in danger
and we might hold you and Mordechai back. We don't want that to happen, so we decided that it would
be better for us to stay outside and continue to look for the Territory Seal and the pure fighting energy.
Besides, the pure fighting energy is a valuable resource. I'm sure that it is not less valuable than what
is in the Life and Death Relic. It would just take us some time to absorb it,"
Hayes explained.
"Yeah, sure. Got it!" Ricky replied.
Meanwhile, George and Brandon expressed that they would enter the Life and Death Relic.
When he heard this, Ricky's mind was set at ease. Now, he would not have to worry about Hayes and
the others.
If George and Brandon decided not to go to the Life and Death Relic, the two might lay a hand on
them, and they would be dead meat if that happened.
After seeing their companions leave, Ricky, Mordechai, George, and Brandon finally made their way
towards the blood-colored rift.
Immediately, the four of them passed through the rift and arrived in the Life and Death Relic.
The minute they got there, they laid eyes on Peter and the enchanting girl. Upon careful scrutiny, Ricky
found that the blood-colored light shrouded the entire place as they were surrounded by the primitive
death power, primitive life power, and other dark powers.
At that moment, they could clearly feel the intensity of the corrosive power of the blood-colored light in
the Life and Death Relic. In fact, it was ten times more concentrated compared to the blood-colored
light in the Land of Thorn outside.
Upon calculation, Ricky estimated that the six of them could stay in that place unharmed for ten days
under such conditions. However, after the tenth day, he was sure that they would all suffer and not be
able to protect themselves from the blood-colored light any longer.
The moment they set foot in there, the six of them had no choice but to gather all their strength to
shield themselves. However, this resulted in the weakening of their fighting power. On the other hand,
that was the least of their problems because all their powers to fight were decreased.
Fortunately for Ricky, the power he needed to keep himself from the light was less than what his
companions needed because of his possession of the Devourer Zone and Life and Death Zone.
"Are you looking for opportunities with me, or are you going on separate ways?" Peter asked them
bluntly the instant he caught sight of Ricky, Mordechai, George, and Brandon.
"Of course I am here to explore this place with you," George politely replied.
Not long after, Ricky and Mordechai nodded their heads, showing their desire to explore the Life and
Death Relic with Peter.
Some members of the Mu Clan had explored the Life and Death Relic before, so Ricky, George,
Mordechai, and Brandon already knew that Peter must know some lands of opportunity here.
They believed that this was something to their advantage. After all, they thought that if they had to
explore the place by themselves, they might still be empty-handed after ten days.
Frankly, the Life and Death Relic was not recommended for warriors at their level. The blood-colored
light could cause serious damage to them, not to mention the possibility of running into dangerous
creatures like the Rotten Thorn Men.
"So, listen. Now that you trust me, I don't think it's wise to hide anything from you. I know two lands of
opportunity here. They are located at the border of the Life and Death Relic. But we can't go any
deeper because we can't resist the corrosion of the blood-colored light in its depths."
Peter came clean to the rest of the group.
"What are these places?" George inquired.
"The first place is where the Life and Death Water can be found. This is such a gem because it is a
Treasure from Heaven and Earth at the advanced stage of Sage Level!" Peter replied enthusiastically.
"Whoa, Life and Death Water!" Ricky, Mordechai, George, and Brandon repeated in utter surprise.
Even if they had never heard of the Life and Death Water, they still wanted to have it so badly because
it was a Treasure from Heaven and Earth at the advanced stage of Sage Level.
In addition, it was one of the most valuable Treasures from Heaven and Earth at the advanced stage of
Sage Level.
In fact, the Life and Death Water could be even considered to be on par with the Treasure from Heaven
and Earth at the Demi-potentate Level.
It was believed to be considered rare because it could only be born in places where life and dead co-
existed, and where light and dark could combine.
Based on these criteria, they thought that such water could only be found in the Life and Death Relic.
Many battlefields were left from historical time in the ancient battlefield, but there were only a few
places like the Life and Death Relic.
With that being said, the Life and Death Water was definitely a one-of-a-kind treasure.
This so-called Life and Death Water was created by four powers: dark, light, life, and death.
On the other hand, the four types of power served as the source of other powers. People said that after
the universe was created, the dark, light, life, and death powers gave birth to other powers.
In this case, then the Life and Death Water could be said to contain primitive powers. If a warrior could
comprehend and refine it, it would be easier for him to break through in his cultivation and grow
stronger.
Apart from this, if a living being could refine the life power inside the Life and Death Water, he could
extend his life and live for another thousand years even if he entered the deterioration stage.
If one absorbed the death power in it, he could have the ability to slaughter all the creatures in a very
wide area.
Obviously, with this kind of property and effect, it was very apparent why many warriors coveted the
Life and Death Water.
"Guys, you seem to know a lot about it. I guess you don't need me to tell you about the advantages of
the Life and Death Water. If the water we find is enough for us to share among ourselves, then there
will be no problem. But if it's not enough for us, then we have no choice but to battle it out to know who
would own it.
However, we have rules. When we fight for it, killing is not allowed. If you can't do that, then I will not let
you go with me,"
Peter said in a serious tone.
