Chapter 996 Why Carney Suppressed His Own Breakthrough
After he heard this, Ricky didn''t bother to say anything more, and he had to admit that he had
underestimated the spiritual emperor''s ability.
He removed the effect of the middle realm cultivation method until his true face was revealed.
"Transforming Realm! This kind of Omnipotent Skill cultivation method is amazing, right? If I didn''t know
it, I wouldn''t have recognized it," Langston eximed when he finally saw Ricky''s original face.
"You have a special insight. I think I should never have kept it from you from the very beginning!" Ricky
murmured.
"It''s fine since it''s your business anyway. It is not a big deal for me that you hid your identity," Langston
said as he shrugged. He was not angry that Ricky concealed his identity, and he appreciated that Ricky
talked with him alone, so he could confide his secret.
"So, Chief Langston, can you tell me your thoughts now?" Ricky then asked nervously. His mind had
already connected to the Massacring Zone, and at the same time, he was ready to release the Evil
Mandragora from the Divine Manor.
"What do you think?" Langston smiled.
"There was a time when I would have guessed what was on a spiritual emperor''s mind, but now I know
that if I am not yet a spiritual emperor, I am not qualified to guess the thoughts of a spiritual emperor,"
Ricky said humbly, and he inclined his head a little so that he was bowing down slightly.
"Ha-ha! It seems that after I guessed your identity, you have be more prudent." Langstonughed
heartily at his words, and then he continued, "But there is no need for that. I only guessed it because I
know many things, but if I wasn''t familiar with the Transforming Realm, or if I didn''t know that Amelia
had been to the Eastern Land to practice, I would never have guessed that. At best, I might have
known that your middle realm facade was not real.
Although I, as a spiritual emperor, am connected with the heavenlyw, my mind is still simr to that of
mortals, and thus other people can observe what I am thinking. You can''t be afraid of spiritual emperors
just because of this matter.
Otherwise, those incredible demi-spiritual emperors will not exist in this world. Even if they are not
spiritual emperors, they can still challenge or even suppress the emperors."
Ricky nodded pensively, as he was enlightened by Langston''s words.
He knew that every creature understood a lot of things, but they were unwilling to believe those things
unless there was somebody to guide them.
It seemed that everything could be clear once someone guided them towards the truth.
And maybe, this was the importance of a master or a leader to a disciple.
"Chief Langston, I understand a little now." Ricky nodded, although he didn''t look less pensive at all.
Instead, he seemed deep in thought, as if he was reflecting on all the things that he had learned that
day.
"Remember, in the martial arts world, you should never let your fear control you. You are an ace
genius, and you will have limitless achievements in the future, so I don''t want you to stop your
cultivation at the realm of a spiritual emperor or a saint just because of fear," Langston reminded him.
"As for your question, I''m telling you this: I only believe what I see.
The devil emperor beside you should be restricted by you, or he could not fight against the Nether
Manor for you. On this continent, as a devil, he would choose to stand on the side of the Nether Manor.
And we, the Spirit Sect, also have some information about you since you are an ace genius."
"Thank you for your understanding, Chief Langston," Ricky said sincerely.
He thought that anyone with a discerning eye would know whether or not he had colluded with the
devils, but he also knew that a person''s heart wasplicated. A little jealousy toward him made them
turn facts upside down, and now they were saying that he had colluded with the devils.
Those creatures who hated him might say something worse about him by now.
He was lucky to have met someone like Langston that day, someone who was reasonable and smart.
"Gossip is a fearful thing. Human minds areplicated, and even a god could be drowned in its
depths. That is why from now on, you''d better use Kenney as your identity," Langston advised him
sagely.
"The Chu n and other forces will likely investigate your identity, but I will try my best to create a fake
identity for you. However, it all depends on you in the end, if you can hide your real identity properly.
You must be careful not to expose yourself to the people in the Western Land and Eastern Land before
you be a spiritual emperor."
"Thank you so much for your advice," Ricky replied.
"Well, that''s it. I''ll leave a mutant here secretly to prevent the people of the Chu n froming,"
Langston told him briskly. "Get ready in the next two months. I hope that victory and its spoils wille
to you after the two months are up."
"Thank you, Chief Langston, but I have one more question. Why did Carney suppress his own
breakthrough?"
Ricky asked curiously, as this question had been bothering him since it had happened.
"Carney cultivates the Fire Transforming Form, which is a kind of Heavenly Fire Skill, but when
cultivating this method, a creature''s understanding of thew is closely rted to his realm," Langston
exined.
"When he reaches a certain realm, he must be able toprehend the Heavenly Fire Skill to the same
realm. Otherwise, if he breaks through and his Heavenly Fire Skill has not been cultivated to the
corresponding realm, his Fire Transforming Form will not be able to reach the next step. In this way,
his Heavenly Fire can''t evolve into the purest Heavenly Fire.
This is the reason that he suppressed his breakthrough at the ordinary demi-spiritual emperor. His
cultivation of the Heavenly Fire Skill has not yet reached the same realm as the ordinary demi-spiritual
emperor."
"I see!" Ricky nodded, but then he tilted his head as if he realized something and frowned. "What a pity!
If I put in more effortst time, maybe I could have broken his Heavenly Fire Skill."
"You should be happy that you didn''t do that, or else Calvin would have gone crazy today, and he
wouldn''t let us retreat so easily.
In that case, we would have been in bigger trouble.
So, you''d better prepare to take a dignified stance and defeat Carney. In that case, no matter what
Calvin says, the fact that you defeat him will remain solid."
"Ha-ha! I see. Carney will also participate in this contest, right? I solemnly promise that I will defeat him
there," Ricky replied with a smile.
"There is no doubt that Carney will participate in the contest, as he probably wants the reward, and of
course, your life," Langston assured him. "I''m looking forward to watching you fight against him."
After Langston left, all the people of the Hong n were immersed in excitement.
At that moment, they looked at Ricky with overflowing respect and admiration.
The thought that he was too old for Amelia had been wiped clean from their minds.
And now, they thought that since he was a genius who was on par with Carney''s strength, he deserved
to get her. And the chief of the Spirit Sect also thought highly of him.
They reasoned that great minds mature slowly, especially in the martial world.
So in their eyes, Ricky had transformed into the kind of genius who gained great talentter in his life.
After a short conversation with Abraham, Ricky also started his cultivation, and this time, he nned to
cultivate his casting skills and runes.
He had just reached the level of a second-sspleted spiritual king, so it would not be good for
him to break through again deliberately.
Therefore, he decided to cultivate his casting skills and runes. He cultivated the runes ording to the
Chaos Manual, and in this way, he could improve his realm invisibly, but this natural improvement

would not affect his realm significantly.
Besides, he had turned his back on casting recently, so this was also an opportunity to get back to it.
