"Faith?" the Dragon Intent Grass asked in confusion. Ricky's words had surprised it quite a bit, as it was unfamiliar with the so-called path made of faith.
According to all the ancient books that mentioned incredible demi-spiritual emperors, there were only two feasible ways in which an incredible demi-spiritual emperor could become a spiritual emperor—with the soul or with the corporeal body.
Some incredible demi-spiritual emperors had tried to take other paths, but they had all ended up dead with no exception. It seemed that apart from the two ways, all other roads would lead to death.
But the fact was, just as Ricky said, he didn't have the Heavenly Meridian, so his path could not follow the heavenly law. It could be for that reason that neither the soul nor the physical body would work, so he needed to find an alternative to become a spiritual emperor.
"Why did you choose faith?" asked the Dragon Intent Grass again. "I'm not sure. Maybe it is because of my intuition. Since I don't have the Heavenly Meridian, the heavenly law will surely reject me and kill me if I follow ordinary methods.
I think it is almost impossible for me to become a spiritual emperor with my corporeal body or my soul," Ricky explained matter-of-factly.
"But I'm still in the world where heavenly law prevails, so I want to make use of the power of these creatures subject to the heavenly law.
The creatures in the Divine Manor have faith in me. Thus, I can obtain the power of faith through them. And I know that more than half of the creatures from the Eastern Land and the Western Land have faith in me as well. Notably, the younger generation looks up to me, and through that, I can feel their faith.
Such power of faith not only increases the speed of my cultivation, but it also gives me more confidence in my martial arts. Therefore, I have begun to think about using the road made of faith to become a spiritual emperor. Besides, those creatures' faith belongs to a kind of power under the heavenly law, so I will have more chances of surviving the Thunderstroke Doom that I will have to face."
"That is very impressive. Perhaps, the day has come for me to learn something from you. Thank you for helping me improve my knowledge," said the Dragon Intent Grass after hearing Ricky's explanations.
"Your path is destined to be unique, and I can do nothing but give you some advice because no one knows you better than yourself. If your intuition tells you that the way of faith is most suitable for you, then you can go ahead and choose that way, though no one has ever taken it before.
You may not have the Heavenly Meridian, but maybe you will discover a different path."
There was something Ricky hadn't told the Dra
vils?" Ricky suddenly asked in a somber tone, as they searched all over the place.
"Only we human devils can enter this place," she answered at once. She wondered why he would wonder about that, so she asked him, "What? Why did you ask such question? Have you found anything?"
"I sensed the aura of real devils," Ricky said seriously.
"I guess that's not surprising, because the purest and strongest evil spirit prevails here," she remarked casually, not at all alarmed by Ricky's words. "Queenie, I'm very familiar with devils, the real devils.
Although the evil spirit here is very pure, I can tell the difference between the evil spirit and the aura of real devils," Ricky said.
At this point, Queenie's heart thudded heavily in her chest, as she realized that he was not lying.
"Is this a trick? Are you sulking because I hid something from you?" she asked doubtfully. However, before Ricky could answer her, a voice suddenly resounded from around them.
"Ha-ha, I didn't expect to meet a humble human devil so soon. And she's a beauty too. How lucky!" The voice was deep and husky; and coupled with its maniacal laughter, whoever it was seemed terrifying and creepy.
Queenie and Ricky turned around, looking for whoever had talked.
Swish! The next moment, three figures appeared from afar.
These three figures all resembled human beings, but their eyes were bloodshot, and there were unique demonic horns on their foreheads. Every cell of their body exuded the real evil spirit. All of these characteristics pointed to the fact that these men were real devils!
"How is this possible? How can devils appear in our ancestral land?" Queenie mumbled in shock upon seeing the three devils.
"It seems that your ancestral land has already been exposed to the devil," Ricky muttered in a low voice.
