Meanwhile, as soon as Ricky sat down, he felt the stress disappear from head to foot. Soon after, he
activated the Supreme Skills as he prepared to absorb and refine the Emperor Light. But at that
moment, he suddenly realized that he did not know how to absorb the purest ruling power.
In fact, the Emperor Light was so rare to spot that it could also be considered as a Treasure of Heaven
and Earth. Moreover, it was needed by a warrior to become a spiritual emperor, and the only way to
absorb it was absorbing it through a Heavenly Meridian.
But the problem was that Ricky didn't have a Heavenly Meridian.
"Hey, Ricky, why aren't you absorbing the Emperor Light?" asked the Dragon Intent Grass as it sensed
Ricky's frustration.
"Well, how do you expect me to absorb it then?" Ricky sighed as he felt so helpless.
"As you already know, you need to absorb it through your Heavenly Meridian. After that, the ruling
power in the Emperor Light will help you open up the path to the Imperial Level," the Dragon Intent
Grass answered. "Wait. Don't tell me you don't even know this!"
"I know that! It's just that there is no Heavenly Meridian in my body," Ricky responded shyly in a low
voice.
"What?! Are you serious?" both the Dragon Intent Grass and Evil Mandragora exclaimed in disbelief
upon hearing Ricky's words.
"Oh, come on. Do you think I'll ever lie to you? I'm telling you the truth!" Ricky said. "If you don't believe
me, then I'll just show you. I can open my mind so you can feel my spiritual meridian."
But at that moment, the Dragon Intent Grass and the Evil Mandragora were still in disbelief. However,
they also knew that Ricky wouldn't lie to them, especially about serious matters such as this one.
"Ricky, as far as I know, you got more than one Heavenly Meridian from the Heavenly Void in the
Eastern Land. Don't tell me that you gave all of them away," the Evil Mandragora could not help but
ask.
"No, I didn't give all of them away. It's just that every time I tried to merge the Heavenly Meridian, my
spiritual meridian would destroy one," Ricky explained.
At that moment, he felt that he didn't have to hide this secret from the Dragon Intent Grass and the Evil
Mandragora any longer. After all, he considered them to be a part of his life now.
On the other hand, both the Dragon Intent Grass and the Evil Mandragora were still out of words to
express how confused they were with the whole situation. That was why, at that moment, no one spoke
out a single word.
After all, nobody knew what to say to Ricky to make him feel better.
But after a long and painful dead air, the Dragon Intent Grass finally had the courage to say something.
"You know what? I have always thought that your spiritual meridian was out of the ordinary, but I didn't
expect it to be this extraordinary! I mean, it could even destroy Heavenly Meridians, and if you don't
find that exceptional, then I don't know what exceptional means to you. You know, a Heavenly Meridian
can only be destroyed by the heavenly law, and it can't be destroyed by any powerful creature."
"I believe you, but I still can't believe this was happening. Has there ever been documentation about a
spiritual meridian that could destroy a Heavenly Meridian since the birth of heaven and earth?" the Evil
Mandragora ranted, as she shook her head in the Divine Manor.
"It's been so long since that happened, and even I still find it unbelievable," Ricky answered.
"Dragon Intent Grass, have you ever heard of any creature that became a spiritual emperor without a
Heavenly Meridian?" Ricky asked out of curiosity.
"Well, I have never heard of such thing, and I even have never thought of it," the Dragon Intent Grass
replied. "In fact, there have been many creatures that are not able to merge a Heavenly Meridian, but
they were all the most ordinary creatures that didn't even have any special blood power.
It is said that such a creature finds it difficult to make low-level breakthroughs, but you seem totally
different from them. As a matter of fact, you've even made great progress all the way. Come on, you
cultivate the chaotic power, plus, you're an ace genius, but you can't merge the Heavenly Meridian.
That's just so..."
At that moment, the Dragon Intent Grass didn't know what to say further that would not offend Ricky.
However, in all honesty, both the Dragon Intent Grass and the Evil Mandragora were really worried
about Ricky's path in the martial arts.
How could Ricky become a spiritual emperor without a Heavenly Meridian? In fact, they even thought
that his final achievement would be an incredible demi-spiritual emperor at the most now that they
came to know that he didn't have a Heavenly Meridian.
Needless to say, they were confused about the current situation. In fact, they both wondered how Ricky
was able to become a demi-spiritual emperor without merging the Heavenly Meridian into his body.
Moreover, they knew very little about Ricky's Chaos blood power and his mysterious chromatic energy.
It was not until that moment did they realize that they actually didn't know Ricky that well at all.
"Dragon Intent Grass, Evil Mandragora, I am starting to doubt whether I can become a spiritual
emperor. But there is always this voice in my heart saying that one can become a spiritual emperor
even without merging a Heavenly Meridian," Ricky said in a serious tone.
"And since I don't have a Heavenly Meridian, I want to brave that special path on becoming a spiritual
emperor.
I swear on the graves of my ancestors that I will do whatever it takes to be an incredible spiritual
emperor!"
Realizing his newfound path, Ricky became extremely confident that he could achieve his goal no
matter how crazy the path could be.
He did not believe his path on martial arts would stop at this point. He had already become a demi-
spiritual emperor, obtained the chaotic power, and even possess the Chaos blood power even when he
did not have a Heavenly Meridian. This only proved that the Heavenly Meridian was not a necessity
during his improvement. Thus, he was sure that there must be a way for him to fix this problem.
"I will be the one in charge of my life, not the gods!
If my life is destined, then I will break my destiny and make greater achievement!" Ricky claimed in a
resolute tone.
Hearing this, both the Dragon Intent Grass in the Soul Sea and the Evil Mandragora in the Divine
Manor were greatly astonished.
Undoubtedly, this sheer faith that Ricky had in himself surprisingly affected both of the two.
Perhaps, this could even be their first time to feel the surge of confidence in their body.
"Ricky, just so you know, we are sorry for having a slight doubt about your capabilities," the Dragon
Intent Grass and Evil Mandragora said. "Maybe you really are destined to become the most incredible
creature in the world."
Although they uttered words of encouragement, neither the Dragon Intent Grass nor the Evil
Mandragora knew how much they believed in Ricky.
"Guys, thank you for your support!" Ricky said as he expressed his deep appreciation.
However, he knew that he might be the only one who truly believed that he could accomplish the goal
of being a spiritual emperor without a Heavenly Meridian.
On the other hand, Tina also put her blind faith in him all because of love.
"So, Ricky, what's the plan? Now that you don't have a Heavenly Meridian, do you have any alternative
way to absorb the ruling power in the Emperor Light?" the Dragon Intent Grass asked.
"Maybe I can absorb the ruling power by using my Chaos blood power and my chromatic energy!"
Ricky responded.
"Since I can't absorb it directly, I'll refine and transform it before I can absorb it."
Soon after, Ricky did not think twice and immediately proceeded to activate the chromatic energy and
the Chaos blood power, absorbing the ruling power from the Emperor Light into his body. Then, he led
the ruling power into his Soul Sea and reached the spot where the mysterious axe spirit was in. He
intended to use the latter to refine the ruling power from the Emperor Light.
Since the mysterious axe spirit could evolve the chromatic energy, he thought that it must have the
capacity to refine all kinds of power as well.
Generally speaking, the ruling power in the Emperor Light could only be absorbed by a Heavenly
Meridian. But at this moment, it seemed that the mysterious axe spirit served as a Heavenly Meridian.
Meanwhile, at that moment, Ricky was in the state of cultivation. Soon after, his momentum and
strength started to rise again.
Given his previous cultivation in seclusion, he had already become an upper-grade demi-spiritual
emperor at peak state.
For demi-spiritual emperor, the most critical point was that he must have a good comprehension ability.
He would make swift progress as long as he had a deep understanding of the rules.
With the Chaos blood power, the five zones, and the regained spiritual meridian, Ricky had an
extremely excellent comprehension ability. Perhaps everyone held a high standard on him that no one
could challenge him in this respect.
As a result, his progress reached its peak with the help of the mysterious axe spirit.
In ten days, he made a breakthrough and became a stronger demi-spiritual emperor.
Soon after, he spent another ten days to hone his strength at this level.
On the other hand, once he became a stronger demi-spiritual emperor, Ricky found that he no longer
had any room for improvement. All he could feel was that the invisible heavenly power was
suppressing his progress.
Undoubtedly, the heavenly law didn't recognize him and allow him to make further progress since he
didn't possess a Heavenly Meridian.
Without Ricky being acknowledged, the heavenly law would definitely suppress him.
'It seems that my path of martial arts has come to an end, but only for now. From now on, I'm going to
find the unique path of becoming a spiritual emperor that truly and only belongs to me, ' Ricky thought
to himself.
Before he could move on to his new goal, he first had to find out where the men in black were from,
and what they wanted with him.
