Chapter 1129 Encountering Real Devils

"Faith?" the Dragon Intent Grass asked in confusion. Ricky's words had surprised it quite a bit, as it was unfamiliar with the so-called path made of faith.

According to all the ancient books that mentioned incredible demi-spiritual emperors, there were only two feasible ways in which an incredible demi-spiritual emperor could become a spiritual emperor— with the soul or with the corporeal body.

Some incredible demi-spiritual emperors had tried to take other paths, but they had all ended up dead with no exception. It seemed that apart from the two ways, all other roads would lead to death.

But the fact was, just as Ricky said, he didn't have the Heavenly Meridian, so his path could not follow the heavenly law. It could be for that reason that neither the soul nor the physical body would work, so he needed to find an alternative to become a spiritual emperor.

"Why did you choose faith?" asked the Dragon Intent Grass again. "I'm not sure. Maybe it is because of my intuition. Since I don't have the Heavenly Meridian, the heavenly law will surely reject me and kill me if I follow ordinary methods.

I think it is almost impossible for me to become a spiritual emperor with my corporeal body or my soul," Ricky explained matter-of-factly.

"But I'm still in the world where heavenly law prevails, so I want to make use of the power of these creatures subject to the heavenly law.

The creatures in the Divine Manor have faith in me. Thus, I can obtain the power of faith through them. And I know that more than half of the creatures from the Eastern Land and the Western Land have faith in me as well. Notably, the younger generation looks up to me, and through that, I can feel their faith.

Such power of faith not only increases the speed of my cultivation, but it also gives me more confidence in my martial arts. Therefore, I have begun to think about using the road made of faith to become a spiritual emperor. Besides, those creatures' faith belongs to a kind of power under the heavenly law, so I will have more chances of surviving the Thunderstroke Doom that I will have to face."

"That is very impressive. Perhaps, the day has come for me to learn something from you. Thank you for helping me improve my knowledge," said the Dragon Intent Grass after hearing Ricky's explanations. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Your path is destined to be unique, and I can do nothing but give you some advice because no one knows you better than yourself. If your intuition tells you that the way of faith is most suitable for you, then you can go ahead and choose that way, though no one has ever taken it before.

You may not have the Heavenly Meridian, but maybe you will discover a different path."

There was something Ricky hadn't told the Dragon Intent Grass.

He had actually planned to start with three approaches—the faith, the soul, and the corporeal body. He wanted to reach the realm enough to incur the Thunderstroke Doom for a spiritual emperor in terms of these three approaches at the same time.

And Ricky knew that it would be very challenging to do so, but he owed it to himself to try.

If he succeeded, the probability of achieving a breakthrough in the Thunderstroke Doom would surely increase.

Since he didn't have the Heavenly Meridian, he had to make sure that he maximized the possibility of breaking through the Thunderstroke Doom by himself.

'I have achieved the peak state as an incredible demi-spiritual emperor. Based on the situation at hand, I think I should work in these three aspects, ' Ricky thought to himself.

'In terms of faith, I need to gather the intangible power of faith; in terms of corporeal body, I should continue to cultivate the Ultimate Golden Body; and in terms of soul, I have to comprehend more from the chaotic method and the Ancestral Intent Formula.'

Ricky had another reason why he wanted to start from these three aspects. It was because he had the most potent cultivation methods in them that he was confident that he had a significant chance of succeeding.

After two days of consolidation, Ricky woke up from the state of cultivation in seclusion. Meanwhile, Queenie was still cultivating in seclusion by his side, which was reasonable, for she could not refine the pistil faster than him.

She woke up as well, a few days later.

As soon as she did, Ricky could tell that her aura had strengthened. It was not much though, which indicated that she had not wholly refined her half of Chomper's pistil.

"You haven't refined it completely?" Ricky asked.

"Nonsense! How could I refine such tremendous energy in less than a month?" Queenie replied as she rolled her eyes at Ricky. "I don't want to waste time in refining it now. The most important thing right now is to find the grand humanoid evil tree.

Wait, don't tell me that you have refined it completely!" Queenie belatedly realized that Ricky had woken up before her, and she came to the conclusion that he had fully refined his part of the postil. But that was impossible! She could not believe such a possibility, let alone entertain it in her mind, so she could only shake her head in disbelief.

Ricky, in response, just scratched his nose and kept his silence. Then, he walked out of the garden, leaving Queenie behind.

"Is it possible that he has refined it completely in such a short time?" Queenie mumbled in disbelief, as she stared at Ricky's retreating back.

She had been trying to impress Ricky, so he would voluntarily surrender to her. However, she suddenly realized that the opposite had happened in the past few days.

It was Ricky who had continually impressed Queenie since they entered the ancestral land of human devils.

And her keen intuition told her that Ricky had successfully refined all the energy contained in his half pistil already, unlike her.

Soon, the two of them went out to look for the grand humanoid evil tree. It was quite easy for Ricky to find the way out, as he had already marked the points where they should pass in between the spaces. It was an achievement, as he had done so when the vines were dragging them at that time.

They wandered around aimlessly, for they had no idea where to go first.

"Queenie, isn't there anything special about the place where the grand humanoid evil tree could exist?" Ricky impatiently asked when they found nothing even after walking for days.

Their searching was increasingly dull and frustrating for him, because he got nothing even though he was searching through his Golden Spirit Eyes.

"Of course, there is. Some rainbow area where the evil spirit and the continent spirit intertwine may appear," Queenie answered promptly.

"Really? Why didn't you tell me about it earlier? If you told me earlier, I would not have to check every tree for so many days like an idiot!" Ricky snapped at her angrily. He was beyond speechless, and he could not think of a single reason why she would keep something so important from him.

"You didn't ask. Besides, you have the Golden Spirit Eyes, and it's good for you to use them often," Queenie answered in a seemingly serious tone.

At this moment, Ricky knew she had tricked him once again.

But what could he do? He could only move forward silently.

"Queenie, tell me the truth. Can the real devils enter the ancestral land of human devils?" Ricky suddenly asked in a somber tone, as they searched all over the place.

"Only we human devils can enter this place," she answered at once. She wondered why he would wonder about that, so she asked him, "What? Why did you ask such question? Have you found anything?"

"I sensed the aura of real devils," Ricky said seriously.

"I guess that's not surprising, because the purest and strongest evil spirit prevails here," she remarked casually, not at all alarmed by Ricky's words. "Queenie, I'm very familiar with devils, the real devils.

Although the evil spirit here is very pure, I can tell the difference between the evil spirit and the aura of real devils," Ricky said.

At this point, Queenie's heart thudded heavily in her chest, as she realized that he was not lying.

"Is this a trick? Are you sulking because I hid something from you?" she asked doubtfully. However, before Ricky could answer her, a voice suddenly resounded from around them.

"Ha-ha, I didn't expect to meet a humble human devil so soon. And she's a beauty too. How lucky!" The voice was deep and husky; and coupled with its maniacal laughter, whoever it was seemed terrifying and creepy.

Queenie and Ricky turned around, looking for whoever had talked.

Swish! The next moment, three figures appeared from afar.

These three figures all resembled human beings, but their eyes were bloodshot, and there were unique demonic horns on their foreheads. Every cell of their body exuded the real evil spirit. All of these characteristics pointed to the fact that these men were real devils!

"How is this possible? How can devils appear in our ancestral land?" Queenie mumbled in shock upon seeing the three devils.

"It seems that your ancestral land has already been exposed to the devil," Ricky muttered in a low voice.
