In the next month, Ricky had put all his effort and soul comprehending the Ancestral Thunder Zone and
the Ancestral Thunder Mutant. Ever since the opening of the Ancestral Thunder Zone, he hadn't had
the time and peace to comprehend and explore it yet. Now that he had the whole month to himself with
no other distraction, he found that it was the best time to do this work.
Meanwhile, the truth about his alleged involvement with the devils had come to light after encountering
the demi-saint from the Western Land. There was no truth to these allegations. In fact, it was a
complete slander to his name. The only reason why the creatures from the two lands were able to
survive the potential crisis was due to the saint guardian's appearance. However, to a greater extent, it
also had something to do with Ricky. If it weren't for him, then things would surely have definitely gone
a different path.
Moreover, Ricky was now an incredible demi-spiritual emperor, and the creatures from the two lands
were trusting and believing him more, creating the power of faith. Such power was increasing Ricky's
strength in turn.
In fact, he was already familiar with the power of faith because this was what he had felt since he got
the Divine Manor. And now, he was feeling the same power from the creatures of the Eastern and the
Western Land.
'The Holy Three-Saber once talked about a certain method, and I think it may be the method of faith, '
Ricky thought to himself as he tried to refresh his memory.
In the same month, he had also successfully helped Tina drive the evil spirit out of her body.
This time, he had no difficulty removing the evil spirit from her body. This was all thanks to the
Devourer Zone's and the Ancestral Thunder Zone's help, both of which could suppress the evil spirit.
Besides, the chromatic energy and the chaotic power made the task easier.
As a matter of fact, it took only two days for Ricky to successfully help Tina drive all the evil spirit out of
her body.
Now that Tina had fully recuperated, she could finally give full play to the power of her body refining
bloodline and Refining Blood Mutant. At that moment, she believed that she could cultivate quicker and
become a spiritual emperor or even a saint in the future.
Needless to say, Tina was overjoyed. The evil spirit that once haunted her for more than twenty years
was finally gone from her system. Now, she knew how to relax, something that she had never done and
felt in the past twenty years.
Seeing this made Ricky very excited about her growth, too.
However, there was another problem inside Tina's body, and Ricky was the only one who knew about
it.
Perhaps it was because the evil spirit had been accumulated for a long time that an intangible evil spirit
mass had formed in Tina's body.
At this moment, it seemed that the evil spirit mass was integrated with Tina's body. In fact, it was so
minuscule that even Tina didn't know that it even existed. On the other hand, Ricky was able to see
through it because he had the Devourer Zone, the Ancestral Thunder Zone, and the chromatic energy.
Moreover, he could feel that the tiny evil spirit mass was continuously releasing evil spirit in her body. If
this would persist, then Tina's body would be full of evil spirit again not long after, and by then, the evil
spirit would be even more difficult to be removed than before.
Seeing what was happening to Tina's body, Ricky understood that this was not a good omen.
Of course, he attempted to remove this evil spirit mass from her body once, but unfortunately, it was
too difficult for him to make it.
To make matters worse, the evil spirit mass was apparently fused with Tina's heart. Knowing this, Ricky
didn't dare to try further. After all, he was not a real spiritual emperor yet, and if something went wrong
with his attempts, he would never be ready for the unimaginable consequences that might happen.
'I think there's no other choice but to rush becoming a spiritual emperor for me. Only then can I figure
out the real nature of this evil spirit mass so that I can deal with it, ' Ricky thought to himself seriously.
Needless to say, Ricky did not want to mention this to Tina. After all, she had just recovered from being
tortured by the evil spirit for over twenty years, and she deserved to feel good for once. He couldn't just
imagine how disappointed and sad she would feel once she found out about the presence of the new
evil spirit mass in her body.
The only thing that could help her right now was Ricky trying to become a spiritual emperor as soon as
possible so that he could destroy the evil spirit mass before it got worse.
A month had passed, and Ricky returned to the Nether Manor with the Evil Mandragora and the
Dragon Intent Grass.
Since there was the presence of pure evil spirit in the ancestral land of human devils, it was conducive
to the Evil Mandragora's cultivation. Although there was a kind of suppressive force to prevent any
creature weaker than the lower spiritual emperor from entering the land, Ricky knew he could override
them with the help of his six zones and the Divine Manor.
However, Tina didn't come with Ricky this time.
Now that her body had been freed of the evil spirit, she thought that she had to cultivate more so that
she could catch up with Ricky as soon as possible.
"I will follow you to your ancestral land. But where can I find the entrance?" Ricky asked after he arrived
at the Nether Manor.
"Since the ancestral land exists in thin air, its entrance usually exists in the air too. In other words, it
can appear at any random place. I can still remember three years ago, with the help of my Black Devil
blood power, I felt that the entrance would rise at the core area of the Nether Manor. And that's why I've
come here," Queenie answered.
"To my surprise, there was a small group of human devils. Maybe this is the reason why the entrance
appears here."
"Oh, I see!" Ricky exclaimed.
"I have a question, though, and it's about the Nether Army of the Nether Manor. Do you know why their
dead bodies turn into a mass of evil spirit after they die?"
"The answer is very simple. That's because they cultivate the method of our human devils!" answered
Queenie plainly.
"No matter how powerful a race is, the members at the bottom strata of their race are made up of those
whose blood power has not been wakened yet. Our human devils have such a cultivation method that
enables those who cultivate it to wake up their blood power and grow rapidly.
However, they have to pay the price of burning their life essence. The more they cultivate this
cultivation method, the more their bodies would be encroached. Therefore, their bodies would become
nothing after they died."
"A cultivation method that burns life essence? Then, how long will they live normally?" Ricky asked in a
curious voice.
"About only a hundred years, of course!"
replied Queenie.
As they talked, Ricky, Queenie, and the mutant that worked for her arrived at the core area of the
Nether Manor, where the evil spirit pervaded.
Perhaps, it was the place where Norris had once cultivated.
Right in the center of this place, a circular opening emerged on the ground where the evil spirit emitted.
On top of this circular opening, there was a suppressive force that prevented any creature's mind from
entering it to detect the situation inside.
"Judging by its size, this must be the entrance and has come into being for five years. I assume that it
will have the largest size in the sixth year and disappear right after," Queenie remarked.
"Therefore, we only have one year to do what we have to do in the land and leave immediately before
that year ends. Otherwise, we might be trapped inside and could not come out until the next era
comes.
But of course, there's always the option of becoming a holy being. If you can be one, then you can just
break it and come out."
"When can we enter it?" Ricky asked.
"In one or two days!" Queenie answered.
"Who are you up against this time?" Ricky asked.
"We human devils have eight major clans. I am the representative of the Murong Clan, so my
competitors are the representatives of the other seven clans. Of course, they would invite the geniuses
from some great forces,"
replied Queenie.
"Speaking of those geniuses, I do have a bit of desire to fight," Ricky said expectantly.
"Well, I hope you can defeat them all," Queenie said with a smile.
"Why do I feel like you really hope that I fall out with them?" Ricky commented lightly.
Soon after, the suppressive force over the entrance disappeared, and Queenie immediately guided
Ricky to go inside.
Since the mutant that worked for Queenie was guarding outside the entrance, Ricky naturally did not
worry about anything.
After traveling in a dark void for several hours, Ricky and Queenie finally arrived in another world.
It was the ancestral land of human devils—an ancient place where the evil spirit and the continent spirit
coexisted.
