Chapter 676 A New Mysterious Space


    Then, Ricky and Pearl began to look around the area to check if there was anything. They initially


    thought that the space would notify them in some way about the array, but it didn''t happen.


    They patiently waited for a long time yet nothing happened. They were unable to detect any useful


    information in their minds. Ricky and Pearl both closed their eyes and concentrated on searching for


    any clues but it all ended in vain.


    All they had was further confusion.


    "What exactly is going on here? I couldn''t feel anything in this area. I can''t detect anything unusual, not


    even a single sign of danger," Ricky asked in a calm voice as he looked at Pearl with puzzled eyes.


    They would be unable to sessfully break through the array and pass the test until a single challenge


    appeared. If nothing changed, they would not have any chance to obtain the Massacring Antenna and


    escape the area. That was thest thing they wanted to happen.


    Looking at Ricky, Pearl also shook her head. She was also puzzled by the situation they were in. Deep


    inside, she was having the same heavy heart that Ricky had. The array in that area didn''t seem to be


    an easy one. The clue would probably be more subtle, unlike the one they had gone through in the


    former arrays.


    "Maybe we can find something interesting inside those floating rocks," Ricky said with uncertainty.


    Determined, Ricky jumped into the air and threw a punch onto one of the rocks. It cracked and broke


    down into pieces that fell on the ground.


    At the same time, Ricky also noticed there was a skeleton mixed among the rocks.


    Ricky was a middle spiritual king, so it wasn''t a surprise he was able to notice the skeleton were from a


    human being. Apart from that, signs of enlightening power still lingered within them. It was not easy to


    deter that before the warrior turned into a dead skeleton, he must have been at least as strong as a


    middle spiritual king of peak level.


    "This is surprising. There is a skeleton embedded within the rock. God! I''m afraid there is a bunch of


    skeletons in each of these rocks," Ricky said to Pearl.


    Without any hesitation, he decided to confirm his guess. Ricky began channeling his strength and


    smashed more of the other rocks. As expected, more skeletons came out. Some were from human


    beings while some seemed to be from spiritual beasts.


    "I''m afraid you are right. All of these rocks contain skeletons," Pearl said as she saw what was


    happening. She then felt something dangerous approaching them.


    "What''s more, there is a high possibility that when they identally broke into this space, they were


    controlled by the array until they lost their lives to its power," Pearl continued," This could mean that if


    we do not find a way out of here soon, we will end up being skeletons in these rocks as well."


    "So our top priority is to find a way out of here as soon as possible, right? But ever since we entered


    this ce, nothing unusual has happened. And I don''t think we can get out of here by blindly hitting


    spots in the air. This array must be powerful. We are merely two middle spiritual kings and I don''t think


    we are strong enough to break through it. Otherwise, the Massacring Holy Ants wouldn''t have been


    called holy beasts," Rickymented.


    Before his voice faded, an old voice came out of nowhere. "Ha-ha! You are exactly right. This array is


    called the Dark and Light Rock Array. Only a spiritual emperor is strong enough to destroy it with


    strength. You guys are too weak to even dream of causing damage to my array."


    Both Ricky and Pearl were alerted at once. They exchanged looks in surprise before they turned to


    look in the direction of the strange voice. They saw clouds with the colors of ck and gold gathering in


    the air. A few secondster, the shadow of an old man appeared amidst the clouds.


    ''Is that a spiritual hologram?'' Ricky and Pearl asked inwardly. ''Could he be the spiritual hologram of


    someone from the Massacring Holy Ant tribe?''


    "Sir," they greeted the old man reverently as they slightly bowed their heads.

    Beyond question, the strange old man must know everything in this ce. He was a key person.


    Whether Ricky and Pearl could sessfully get out of here depended on him. It was just natural for


    them to treat him with respect.


    "I''ve been waiting here for years. You are finally here. One of you has the Feminine Mutant. Although


    the other one doesn''t have the Massacring Mutant, he is stronger than the owner of a Massacring


    Mutant," the old man said in an excited tone as he looked at Ricky and Pearl over and over again. He


    seemed to be very satisfied to see them.


    Ricky and Pearl were both surprised by the old man. It was clear that the old man was able to


    recognize how strong they were at first sight. Only those who were extremely strong could do that.


    The old man continued, "And for your information, my name is Jacob and I am a spiritual emperor. The


    shadow you are seeing now is a part of my soul that I have left in this space a long time ago. It has


    been wandering here thanks to the strength generated by the Dark and Light Rock Array."


    "A part of your soul? And a spiritual emperor? Sir, are you a spiritual emperor from the Massacring


    Holy Ant tribe?" Ricky asked at once. All he wanted to do was dig as much information as he could


    from the old man.


    "Yes, I am a spiritual emperor. But no, I''m not from the Massacring Holy Ant tribe," the old man replied


    in a calm tone. "To be more precise, I work for the Massacring Holy Ant tribe. So I am technically one of


    their servants."


    "What? A servant?" Both Ricky and Pearl were stunned by what they just heard.


    From their perspective, a spiritual emperor was strong and arrogant. It was just unbelievable to hear


    that the old man imed himself to be a servant.


    Seeing the surprised expressions on Ricky''s and Pearl''s faces, Jacob immediately understood why


    they were so surprised. He then snorted and said, "A spiritual emperor is nobody but a servant when


    faced with a saint. I am an excellent example."


    Ricky and Pearl could tell that Jacob was unwilling to admit this. But there was nothing he could do to


    change the situation unless he grew as powerful as a saint.


    This was normal in their world. A spiritual emperor would work for a saint if they had to. The physical


    body of Jacob was gone. This shadow was just a part of his soul. It would disappear from the world


    once the array was destroyed.


    Ricky and Pearl were lost in their thoughts for a while after hearing Jacob''s words. Soon, they collected


    themselves and were able to recover from the shock. They were not fools and understood that there


    was no limitation in terms of power in this world. They never doubted that there could be someone


    stronger than a saint.


    ''It seems that one might still be faced with danger even if he has be a spiritual emperor. As long


    as he is still living in this world, there would always be someone stronger unless he dominates


    everything that he sees, '' Ricky sighed in his heart.


    "So, sir, where exactly are we right now?" Ricky asked.


    "You are supposed to collect the Massacring Antenna so that you can enter the Land of Legacy of the


    Massacring Holy Ant tribe. This is the ce where the Massacring Antenna is more likely to appear.


    And it is also my Land of Legacy to some degree," Jacob said.


    What Ricky and Pearl did not notice at first was that there was a hint of evil in Jacob''s smile and eyes.


    "Your Land of Legacy?" Ricky repeated in surprise. Pearl also glued her eyes on Jacob with a surprised


    look.


    "I was a servant of a powerful warrior. After I was gone, he cursed me and sessfully kept a part of


    my soul here to protect the Massacring Antenna," Jacob exined.


    "Only those who pass the test could break through the Dark and Light Rock Array. When that happens,


    my soul will finally be free.


    And the test is to sessfully master a cultivation method of mine."


    Jacob''s words did not scare Ricky and Pearl. Instead, their eyes lit up at the same time. Apparently,


    they were more than pleased to hear that they could learn another cultivation method.


    Jacob, on the other hand, was also looking forward to their performance. Judging from Ricky''s and


    Pearl''s reactions, he believed there was a high possibility for them to make it. As a matter of fact, he


    had confidence in them since the very beginning. He would not have exined everything so carefully


    to them if he hadn''t.


    "Oh, sir. This is not a challenge for us. I see it more of a precious opportunity for both of us," Ricky said.


    In Ricky''s mind, mastering one more cultivation method was not a difficult or tricky challenge at all. In


    fact, he would be extremely grateful if Jacob taught them another cultivation method.
