Chapter 729 The Celestial Army''s Mission
"Soul replication! Impressive!" Ricky eximed to himself. His expression went nk, unable to
register the shock.
He was already surprised to find that replication of blood and flesh was possible. Going farther beyond
that to aplish even soul replication was a formidable feat. He was astonished. It was like an
addiction. One sessful soul replica would be exceptional enough for the real body to disregard their
life.
Giddy with anticipation, Ricky looked at the new information with the same sparkling eyes of a child. He
was beyond excited to know all about the fourth phase.
However, as he finished absorbing the information for the first three phases, he found the fourth phase
empty.
"The fourth part regarding soul replication is missing," said Ricky, his brows quirked up in confusion.
It was understandable that such a formidable cultivation method wouldn''t be leaked to the world that
easily.
''Maybe the Endless Shadow has hidden the fourth phase in its base, '' Ricky thought to himself.
Hastily, he left the Shadow Mountains and headed straight for the Celestial Army''s camp.
The Shadow King kept all the cultivation resources of the Endless Shadow in his storage ring. He also
left behind treasures that Ricky wasn''t particrly interested in.
With the Shadow King and the other innate spiritual kings dead, the Endless Shadow existed only in
name. It wouldn''t take long before the organizationpletely disappeared from the Realm of
Wildness.
The organization had just lost the protection of their most powerful leaders. Other forces would seize
upon this vulnerability to destroy it once and for all.
... As soon as Ricky returned to the Celestial Army''s camp, he greeted Connor with a small nod, but he
didn''t stop his march. He swept past towards his cultivation ce. The only clear thought in his mind
was the desire to dive into the Shadowy Emperor Replication.
"Sir, he must have solved the problem if he''s back. That''s incredible! He killed Shadow King and his
cronies all by himself!" Luke, a deputy leader of the Celestial Army, gasped as his eyes followed
Ricky''s hurried form.
"Within arge continent, it is possible that there are a few geniuses like him. He killed the Shadow
King and the other spiritual kings and is now cultivating in seclusion. Go spy on him," Connor
"Yes, sir! On my way!" Luke nodded and, without another word, walked out of the pce.
"The time hase. We''re leaving this bleak space after we finish thest mission. It''s finally the time
for me to rise to fame," Connor murmured excitedly when he was left alone.
However, half a dayter, Luke came back. He wore a dismayed expression on his face.
"What''s going on?" Connor asked, louder than he intended. He saw Luke''s face and knew he brought
bad news with him.
"Sir, I''ve collected the fortune of most spiritual kings of the Endless Shadow, but I couldn''t find the
Shadow King''s fortune. Reports confirm his death though. Is it because Yori knows what we are
targeting?" Shuffling closer to hispanion, Luke lowered his voice into a whisper to avoid prying
ears.
"Really? That''s odd. There is no way anyone could have known our true purpose. Neither Yori nor a
more powerful spiritual king should have had ess to our information," said Connor.
"And do you think the cultivators in the Misty South can collect the dead''s fortune?"
"Then what should we do, sir? What is going on?" Luke asked, scratching his head as he did.
"The only exnation would be that the Shadow King was not from the Realm of Wildness." Connor''s
voice hitched as the realization dawned on him. Once the surprise wore off, he shrugged his shoulders.
"That doesn''t matter anymore. His death carried little weight on our n. Everything should be fine as
long as we still have the chief of the Sky Manor. You have him heavily guarded. We''re just one more
month away from sess."
"Yes, sir!" Luke nodded grimly. He knew this was a gamble. They''d rise to fame if they won and they''d
die if they failed.
"Alright, let''s wait for another month and see," said Connor.
A month passed quickly. During that month, news of the deaths of the Endless Shadow''s spiritual kings
spread throughout the Realm of Wilderness.
It shocked the whole world.
The warriors believed they died at the hands of the Celestial Army. They were the only force capable of
the feat.
That was exactly the effect Ricky wanted.
The spections on their deaths fell squarely on the Celestial Army. Ricky was eager to know how the
Celestial Army would respond.
However, no matter how many spections there were outside of the camp, the Celestial Army didn''t
give any exnations. Instead, they acted as if they didn''t know what had happened.
''What do they want? They''ve been used left and right, but they never tried to exin it. It looks like
they''re very close to the day they''ve been waiting for, '' Ricky thought to himself.
For the past month, Ricky had done more than just cultivation. He investigated the Celestial Army''s
purpose for being here. He worked cautiously, knowing Connor was apleted spiritual king. The
progress he made was slow and limited. Thus, he hadn''t found any useful information at all.
He had also gotten in touch with Soar using the Heaven Melting Fire. Soar and others wereter
teleported into the Chaotic Fire Zone. Ricky had a hunch that the Celestial Army would soon make their
move.
He was neither surprised nor unprepared when Connor finally called him in.
''The storm ising, '' was the thought that ran through his mind.
His arrival at the pce was followed by another. The chief of the Casting Guild, the lord of the Imperial
Pce of Wildness, and Scott came soon after him.
Fear etched into the faces of the chief of the Casting Guild and the lord of the Imperial Pce of
Wildness. Both of them vividly remembered the Shadow King''s death.
They were afraid the Celestial Army would end their lives in the same way.
"I need your help for what''s toe. If we seed, I''ll even share the interest with you," Connor
Excitement showed clearly on their faces at Connor''s words. They dampened a momentter when
both the chief of the Casting Guild and the lord of the Imperial Pce of Wildness remembered they
could end up as cannon fodder if they weren''t careful.
"What is it, sir?" The lord of the Imperial Pce of Wildness cleared his throat as he met Connor''s
eyes. It had taken him a lot of courage to ask.
"Huh, I can''t tell you right now. I don''t want to spoil the fun." Connor barked another harsh peal of
In contrast, the faces of the chief of the Casting Guild and the lord of the Imperial Pce of Wildness
turned grim. Their shoulders dropped, resigned. They were convinced that they would be punching
bags in theing fight, absorbing every attack that came their way.

"I know your concerns," Connor said as he noticed their dreadful expressions.
"I''m sure what''sing next will dispel your anxiety."
