Chapter 1228 Absorbing The Original Energies

"But remember. Until you are strong enough, you need to keep this to yourself," Lloyd added, looking at
Ricky in a knowing way. At this point, he was trying to contain his excitement at the fact that Ricky had
accepted his offer and he had foreseen the rise of the Five-element Sect.

As a saint, Lloyd knew how terrifying a talent who had once become the incredible demi-spiritual
emperor like Ricky could be one day.

No creature from the Desolate Sorcery tribe who was below Mordechai's level could be a match for
him.

The most powerful geniuses from the powerful forces or clans at Mordechai's level couldn't defeat him,

but Ricky was more impressive because he could match Mordechai's strength even though his grade
was a bit lower than his.

Ricky was strong and talented and he would in reap plenty from it in his lifetime.

"Don't worry. I will keep this between us," Ricky replied, nodding his head.

"Great. Now, I'm going to take you to the ancestral land and you will cultivate for a couple of months.
Before we go, you should fill the two girls in," Lloyd explained.

"What?" Ricky stared at him with wide eyes. "Are we going to the secret land of the wood branch?" he
asked.

"No. We're on our way to the secret land of the Five-element Sect. It is very old and very important to
our sect," Lloyd answered.

"The Five-element Sect's secret land? That's even better!" Ricky couldn't wipe the shocked look off of
his face.



After giving some cultivation resources to the girls, Ricky followed Lloyd into a five-colored space.

Once they were inside the space, Ricky closed his eyes and sensed five original energies: the gold
energy, the wood energy, the water energy, the fire energy, and the earth energy.

In the center of the five-sided space was a surface that resembled an altar. Looking closer, Ricky
realized it was the source of the five original energies.

"This is the ancestral land of the Five-element Sect. Unlike the ancestral lands of our five branches,
there are five original energies here," Lloyd explained, extending his arm and sweeping it over the
area. "I know that you've already cultivated several powers, so I figured that the five original energies
would assist in your cultivation."

"Thank you, sir!" Ricky exclaimed, smiling until it stretched his cheeks.

He had initially thought that he had lost the chance to absorb the original energy because he failed to
become the holy son of the wood branch. But much to his surprise, now he was chosen as the holy son
of the Five-element Sect and he had complete access to the five original energies.

"Lloyd, is this the ace genius you told me about who was once an incredible demi-spiritual emperor?" a
soft but loud voice asked. They turned and watched as a woman in a red robe floated over and landed
in front of them.

It was Shirley, the vice leader of the fire branch. She was also a saint.

Lloyd had told Ricky about her before they arrived.

"Nice to see you, madam!" Ricky greeted respectfully.

"Why are you here alone? Where are they?" Lloyd asked.



"Wells has already seen this brat so he has no reason to come. The other two guys will not come
either. They are strict and stubborn. Although they agree with your idea, it doesn't mean that they like
this brat. After all, a warrior with talent doesn't promise strength," Shirley replied.

"Okay. What should I do with these two?" Lloyd asked helplessly, shaking his head.

"Little guy, you need to get stronger very soon. Otherwise, you will be replaced soon," Shirley said to
Ricky.

"Rest assured, madam. Now that I've decided to be the holy son of the Five-element Sect, I will try my
best to get stronger. I don't want anyone to look down on me," Ricky said confidently.

"That's good to hear!" Shirley responded, nodding approvingly.

Then she turned and internally prayed that this genius would be able to lead the Five-element Sect to
glory in the future. Otherwise, their sect would be swallowed up by other forces with medium saints.

"Well, we should go now. We don't want to disturb you. You can cultivate as hard as you want and for
as long as you want. You need to nourish the hermit spirit of the Five-element Flag using the original
energies here," Lloyd said.

"The ancestral land of the Five-element Sect has existed for a long time. Although the original element
energy is inferior to the chaotic energy, it is one of the best original energies you will find," the Dragon
Intent Grass told Ricky after the two saints had walked away.

"And, I can't forget the most important thing of all. The five elements are essential to the chaos.

You've cultivated the fire, gold, wood, and chaotic powers. The only powers you haven't mastered yet
are the water power and the earth power. Practicing them here will increase the odds of you
comprehending the chaos by tenfold."



"You make a good point, but I don't know if I can master the water and earth powers," Ricky said.

He could only expect that the remaining three zones could produce the two powers. Otherwise, it would
be too difficult for him to cultivate them by himself.

Taking a deep breath, Ricky closed his eyes and started his cultivation without any hesitation.

He activated the six zones and began absorbing the five original energies here. Although only spiritual
potentates were able to use the original energies, every warrior craved for them. The deeper they
understood the original energies, the more likely they were of becoming a god.

Ricky stored all the original energies in the mysterious axe.

Then, he pulled out the Five-element Flag and the Iron Justice Saber. The Iron Justice Saber had
developed its psychic intelligence, so he wanted to use the five original energies to help it grow its
psychic intelligence further.

"Iron Justice Saber, you are my weapon of choice. You are cast from magical materials from heaven
and earth and my six zones will help you absorb the five original energies here. Take as much of them
as you want," Ricky said.

"Thank you, master," a childish voice said from inside the saber.

"Over the next few days, take your time and grow stronger," Ricky said.

"I will, master."

Once this was settled, Ricky began to suppress the Five-element Flag using his power and he
transferred his own power and will to it.



Now, the Five-element Flag was his property. If he couldn't control its psychic intelligence, another
warrior could take it from him and it would betray him. The only way to make sure it would stay loyal to
him forever was to help it develop its psychic intelligence with his own will.

'The combined power of the Five-element Flag and my chaotic power will greatly increase my fighting
power. If I fight against Mordechai using the Five-element Flag, he will lose,' Ricky thought.

'However, I need to keep this sacred weapon hidden unless my life is at stake. Saints can't resist the
temptation of a sacred weapon, especially the Five-element Flag which is at the intermediate stage.
Once they see it, they will try to take it away from me.'

Time always passed so fast when Ricky was focused on his cultivation.

Two months had passed by the time Ricky had finished his cultivation in the ancestral land of the Five-
element Sect.

At the same time, Mordechai also finished his training in the ancestral land of the wood branch.

Lloyd took Ricky to his practice room and Ricky was surprised to see Ashley, Mordechai, Hayes, and
Guillermo there too.

Apparently, Lloyd had summoned them.

Ricky nodded at Mordechai and Hayes in a friendly way.

Guillermo kept his gaze fixed on Ashley.

"You five are the most powerful geniuses in the wood branch. I have a job for you and I hope you can
complete it successfully," Lloyd said.



The five of them nodded their heads with a serious expression on their faces. "Sure. What are your
orders, master?" Ashley asked.

"Mordechai will be in charge of this task, and he is going to tell you what you are going to do," Lloyd
said.
