"So next, I need to go to the Giant Sect because there is some news about my mother, and I need to go to find out more," Ricky said with a serious look in his eyes.
"If it's the Giant Sect, it will be simple. When the Dominant Top Elder of the Ju Clan made a breakthrough and reached the spiritual emperor realm, I protected him, so when you arrive there, tell them that you are my disciple, and they will tell you everything," Mason instructed Ricky.
"It's not proper for me to ask more about your business, so I won't. I know you have already made up your mind, but Easton, Langston, and I shouldn't go with you, because you will be more in danger of exposure if more people come with you."
"I agree," Ricky answered, nodding his head earnestly. "But..." Mason started suddenly, and his eyebrows were scrunched up as if he was thinking hard about something.
Then, he looked at Ricky seriously and said, "But I want to make sure you will be safe, so allow me to leave a Space Sign on you!"
"Elder Mason, there's no need for you to do that. It will consume your life span!" Ricky refused vehemently.
"Don't worry. My Space Sign contains the array power, so it will only consume a hundred years of life to transfer you from the Spirit Sect to the Giant Sect. For a spiritual emperor, the life span of a hundred years is nothing more than a drop of water in a bucket," Mason said immediately to comfort Ricky, who still looked hesitant.
"Elder Mason, you may lose the opportunity to make a breakthrough just because of this one hundred years of life, right?" Ricky asked. "So, I can't accept the Space Sign.
Besides, I can go and leave as I please, with no one noticing. Otherwise, I couldn't have come from the Eastern Land to the Western Land, so please believe in me."
"Okay, I understand. And because you refused the Space Sign, I can see just how different you are from Carney, and I know that you are destined to surpass him someday!" Mason appreciated Ricky more after he saw Ricky's genuine concern for him.
Ordinary disciples and even Carney would not refuse the Space Sign from a spiritual emperor because it could save their lives, but Mason knew from Ricky's tone that he was not lying.
"So long then, and be careful!"
"I know! Elder Mason, please take care of Soar and my friends," Ricky said.
"Ha-ha, your friends? You have a special relationship with that woman who has the Feminine Mutant, don't you?" Mason joked
llect all the eight pieces!" Jeffrey Ju replied.
Ricky fell into silence after hearing that. It was just as he had expected. He had a strong intuition that he could see his mother only after he gathered the eight pieces of the mysterious axe, and now, he was proven correct.
Still, despite knowing ahead of time, he could not help but feel disappointed that he could not see her at that moment.
'Mother, why can we meet each other only after I have collected the eight pieces of the mysterious axe?' At this moment, Ricky was very confused.
However, he knew that since his mother had said so, she must have valid reasons. He could sense that his mother also wanted to see him, but she had no other choice.
'Then I have to collect the eight pieces of the mysterious axe as soon as possible, ' Ricky thought to himself.
He was quite confident that he would get the piece in the Sky-breaking Dome, so it was fair to say that he would have two pieces very soon. He decided that he would have to find the other six pieces as soon as he could.
"Did my mother tell you anything else?" Ricky asked after he calmed down.
"Yes. She said that you need to stop your father from looking for her because it is too dangerous," Jeffrey Ju replied.
"Really? But I don't even know where my father is," Ricky said, longing for his father even more eagerly.
Jeffrey Ju's eyes sharpened at this, and he leaned forward to whisper something to Ricky, his voice quiet against the beating of Ricky's heart. "The Ju Clan knows where your father is."
As soon as the words fell from his lips, Ricky leaned away, looking at him in shock.
