Just when the warriors were feeling desperate, a saint guardian came swooping in from out of the blue. As it turned out, the powerful forces in the Middle Land did not forget about the fact that devils existed and that these creatures had the ability to invade any continent anytime they desired.
"Just like what they all say, a saint guardian is available all the time whenever a devil does evil. The only time they won't be able to respond is when evil no longer roams the world," the Dragon Intent Grass said. "So, for now, we're safe."
"Dragon Intent Grass, where does the saint guardian come from? I haven't heard of such a creature from any ancient book or record. How could they be unrecorded?" Ricky inquired.
"First off, the strongest warriors in each of the four lands are merely middle spiritual emperors, or upper spiritual emperors at the most. For instance, we can all see how the devil race dispatched a demi-saint in this area. We can clearly see that he is so strong that he can slaughter a large number of warriors," explained the Dragon Intent Grass.
"This is where the saint guardian comes along. That's why the super forces in the Middle Land, which have once had spiritual potentates, secretly send a powerful saint to each of the other four lands to seek justice and protect them. These super forces take turns in providing such saints, with each of them serving for a term of about one thousand years.
The saints sent here are the saint guardians with the main task of guarding the citizens and other creatures against the devils.
Second, they also impede any strong saint in the Middle Land from going to the other four lands to act recklessly."
"Hmmm...I see!" Ricky nodded his head slightly. After hearing the Dragon Intent Grass' explanation, he sure had a newfound admiration towards the saint guardians and to the super forces that had dispatched them.
"In the four lands, the spiritual energy seems to be relatively thin. This greatly contributes to the limitation of the possibility of existence of uppe spiritual emperors. Despite this, there have been reports of many upper spiritual emperors in the area in the past countless years," the Dragon Intent Grass continued.
"But now, you might ask how come there is no upper spiritual emperor or demi-saint in the four lands. That's because once a warrior reaches this level, he or she would be required by the saint guardian to leave the land and go to the Middle Land instead.
This is how peace is maintained in all the four lands."
"Well, I think that this method is good and well thought of!" Ricky nodded as he gave a little smile.
Suddenly, a question popped to his mind.
"Tina,
is murderous intent did not linger for too long.
Nevertheless, it was this momentary killing intent that made Arthur and his companions feel like they had fallen into a very deep abyss. At that moment, none of them dared to move at all, as if they were frozen on the spot.
Meanwhile, the warriors who saw this gasped in amusement.
"I sense that the Sky-breaking Emperor must be blinded by anger. Even if it is true that Ricky really colludes with the devils, he couldn't have gone that far as to attempt to make use of a saint to kill Ricky," some warriors whispered to each other.
"Well, I didn't expect an incredible demi-spiritual emperor to appear in the current era.
You're doing good, little buddy!" the saint guardian said as he looked at Ricky with appreciation.
All the warriors around could not help but envy Ricky when they heard how the saint guardian addressed and complimented him.
As for these lower spiritual emperors and middle spiritual emperors, they could also clearly see the joy and honor on Ricky's face upon being addressed as a buddy by a respected saint.
At this moment, all of them realized that from that moment on, they could not provoke Ricky anymore.
Without a doubt, the saint guardian's appreciation of him was one of the reasons for this honor. But more importantly, that was because of Ricky's own powerful strength and his status as an incredible demi-spiritual emperor.
"Thank you, sir!" Ricky said respectfully. Of course, he could not hide the excitement he felt about being treated kindly by the saint guardian.
"Ha-ha, no big deal! An incredible demi-spiritual emperor deserves all kinds of praise!" the saint guardian said with a faint smile on his face. "Hey, little buddy, would you like to have a chat with me in detail?"
