Chapter 74 The Spiritual Energy Gathering Array
"Hasn''t anyone ever told you that you look like a fool?" Ricky sneered, staring Jerome down.
To Ricky, it was obvious that Rufus just took advantage of Jerome. But Jerome was blind to this, ready
to be at Rufus'' beck and call constantly.
"What are you talking about?" Jerome shouted indignantly at Ricky''s insult.
"Can''t you hear me? Are you deaf?" Rickyughed sourly, turning away. He couldn''t be bothered to talk
to Jerome anymore.
"Don''t be so reckless! You''re asking for trouble!
You better apologize to me! And return the Treasures from Heaven and Earth to their rightful owner! If
you don''t give them to Rufus, I''m going to beat you to a pulp!" Jerome shouted, rushing to attack Ricky.
His blood vitality and spiritual energy emerged from him in a sh. With his right fist surrounded by his
thunderous power, Jerome struck at Ricky.
''Jerome''s punch is much less forceful than Nate''s. It appears that it''s only been a few days since he
had a breakthrough to Blood Purification!'' Ricky thought, assessing the power of Jerome''s fist. He was
calm, knowing there was nothing to fear.
Gently pushing Heather aside, Ricky stepped forward and casually threw a punch.
He approached Jerome in the same way he had dealt with Nate. Channeling all his strength and
making use of the devouring runes, Ricky''s fist collided against Jerome''s in a powerful punch.
"Bang!" With a loud thump, Jerome flew backwards and fell to the ground with a heavy thud.
Rufus was stunned by what he witnessed.
"How can this be!?" he couldn''t help but exim. Although Jerome wasn''t a genius in martial arts, he
was nheless an excellent warrior at the first grade of Blood Purification. So how could he have
been knocked down by Ricky with one blow?
As for Jerome, he was bbergasted. He stared up at Ricky, scared out of wits.
"From now on, you should first figure out whether you stand a chance of defeating your opponent
before you go and try to fight others'' battles for them," Ricky said coldly, staring back down at Jerome.
Ricky turned his head to re at Rufus. "If you want to take revenge on me, you can fight with me
yourself. Or better yet, find a better warrior to do your bidding!" he spat.
With these words, Ricky left with Heather without a backward nce, leaving Rufus and Jerome behind
to watch him walk away.
Rufus growled indignantly, but Jerome stilly sprawled on the ground,pletely stunned.
...
After returning to his courtyard, Ricky gathered his things in preparation to trek up to the mountain
where Zenith stayed.
In the Snow Sect, there was a tradition where the mountain the current sect chief lived would be named
after him. Thus the mountain where Zenith lived was named the Zenith Mountain, located right in the
middle of the Snow Sect.
After about two hours, Ricky reached the Zenith Mountain.
The mountain looked like a hill, as it was not so high. Arge and magnificent yard stood alone on top
of the mountain. There was a broad area of opennd as a teau, but no other disciples could be
seen for hundreds of meters around.
After entering the mountain, Ricky heard Zenith''s voice.
"Ricky, wait there. I''ll ask Edgar to take you to meet me!"
Edgar came down, nodded hello, and led Ricky to the yard.
On the way there, Edgar told Ricky that there were many arrays existing on the Zenith Mountain. Even
if an excellent warrior of Bone Reinforcement touched them by ident, they could have the warrior''s
body smashed to pieces.
This was the reason Zenith had instructed Edgar to go down to lead Ricky to his ce.
At this moment, Zenith was in a small room in the yard, sitting with his legs crossed on the cattail
hassock.
"Ricky, I think you might know why I summoned you here," Zenith spoke, at seeing Ricky''s arrival.
"I think it might be because... well... I seed in cultivating the Nine-degree Body Refining Form,"
Ricky replied carefully.
"Yes, that''s exactly right!" Zenith smiled. "It is the best and most precious cultivation method of the
Snow Sect, but since no one had practiced it for nearly a thousand years, it has beenpletely
forgotten by most of our warriors.
Consequently, many of them have no clue about the Nine-degree Body Refining Form."
"Does this cultivation method... belong to the advanced stage of ck Level?" Ricky asked, his eyes
widening.
"It even greatly surpasses the advanced stage of ck Level," Zenith responded, smiling even wider
as he shook his head.
"Is it the cultivation method of Earth Level?"
"You don''t have to think about this for the moment. The most pressing thing you must attend to is to
cultivate the Nine-degree Body Refining Form. But with regards to how you must practice it, I can''t
give you any advice.
What I can do is to do my best to try and help you. That''s why I summoned you here, Ricky."
Ricky was surprised to hearing these words, his eyes lighting up.
He just received gifts from Elder Mateo, and now Zenith was going to help him be a better warrior!
"The sect chief is an innate spirit, so he might offer me something wonderful or do me a great favor!"
Ricky thought to himself.
Then he asked Zenith expectantly, "How do you n to help me, Chief Zenith?"
"Well, it seems that you''re impatient to find out!" Zenith remarked with a smile, seeing the excitement
on the young man''s face.
Zenith waved his hand, and immediately Ricky and Edgar felt their bodies tremble as if the ground
were quaking, before they plunged into total darkness.
When once again their eyes opened, they discovered that they had reached a snow forest in the yard.
''Teleportation! The innate spirit is so powerful. When will I ever be able to have such power?'' Ricky
thought with surprise.
What caught Ricky''s attention even more was the strong and intense spiritual energy in the snow
forest.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.
When he focused on this energy, he could sense that its intensity was at least twenty times more than
that of any ce he had ever been.
And the spiritual energy here was very pure, almost without any imperfections...
Ricky gently took a breath and stayed rxed. He allowed the pores of his skin to open, and with this
he could feel that his strength also increased.
"Chief Zenith, this is..." Ricky eximed.
Edgar also shouted in amazement, "Master Zenith, this ce is..."
"It is a Spiritual Energy Gathering Array!" Zenith''s voice said, floating through the air.
"What is Spiritual Energy Gathering Array?" Ricky asked.
"The Spiritual Energy Gathering Array is the array drawn and created by the array deployer to gather
the pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The spiritual energy inside the array zone is over ten
times more intense than that of other ce.
But all of the arrays need the support of special Treasures from Heaven and Earth. And the Treasures
from Heaven and Earth for this Spiritual Energy Gathering Array can support it in working and
performing its function for ten entire days.
So in the following ten days, you will focus on your cultivation here. What level of the cultivation you
achieve by the time ten days are up is entirely up to you."
"Understood, Master Zenith!" Edgar nodded.
"Even if we can just cultivate at this amazing ce for only ten days, it would be tantamount to
practicing outside for one hundred days, maybe even more!" Ricky gasped, reeling from the shock.
Zenith took out arge container of meat out of his Storage Ring and told them, "This is your food for
ten days. You should take every opportunity to cultivate in the next few days!"
With these words, Zenith disappeared. He had teleported away.
Exchanging tentative nces, Ricky and Edgar nodded and then sat down with their legs crossed, to
begin their cultivation.
They both knew they had to seize this once in a lifetime opportunity to cultivate. Not a second would be
wasted!
Since the pure spiritual energy here was twenty times denser than any other ce outside, it gave
Ricky and Edgar different feelings and experiences during the cultivation. They felt that they reached
the higher levels at a rapid speed.
Ricky, with his Devouring Skill and Devourer Zone, reached the peak of the ninth grade of Skin
Refinement within only two days. Amazing!
