Chapter 1255 Real Ancient Battlefield

The minute Ricky set foot in his cultivation place, he heard Lloyd's familiar voice echo in his Soul Sea.
Not long after, Lloyd appeared out of thin air looking at Ricky.

"Elder Lloyd, I'm going to cultivate in private. What brings you here? Is there anything I can help you
with?" Ricky asked.

"Oh, don't play dumb with me! Don't tell me you are not aware that I cultivate the wood power as well."
After gathering the courage to swallow his pride, he made a request. "Come on. Give me two balls of
that green fire."

"Ha-ha! I thought that a powerful being like you would never need this flame. Looks like I am mistaken,"
Ricky teased.

"Stop that! Quit teasing me!" Lloyd said as his face darkened in annoyance, pretending to be offended.

Ricky stopped making fun of the elder after seeing his irritated face. Afterwards, he pulled out two
flaming balls of life fire straight from the Life and Death Fire and handed them over to Lloyd.

"I hope you don't mind, Elder Lloyd. But why do you want two balls of this kind of fire?" Ricky asked out
of interest.

"I need two of those because I will give one to Ashley. Wait, don't tell me that you're having second
thoughts about me giving one to her?" Lloyd said as he stared at Ricky.

"Ha-ha! Don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't want her to get one. It's just that I have already tried
giving her the peculiar fire before, but she refused to take it," Ricky replied dejectedly.

"Oh, goodness, that's tough. Why can't you get on well with her?" Lloyd said, sounding a little bit
helpless.



"But I just have to say it, you impress me. You even have mastered the brilliant Justice Skill, and even
got your hands on the Massacring Sand, sacred fire, and peculiar fire, to name a few. If there's
anything, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude for helping our sect. I mean it."

"Well, it's my pleasure, Elder Lloyd. After all, you let me keep the Five-element Flag and help me refine
it. I am grateful that you trust me. Of course, I must do something to help our sect. Hayes, Mordechai,
and Ashley are loyal to our sect, and I know for a fact that they would never do anything to betray it.
That's why I am willing to give them some things to help them grow stronger. I'll be helping for the sake
of our sect,"

Ricky replied in all honesty.

But of course, what he said was not meant to please Lloyd in any manner, for he only wanted his truth
to be heard.

On the other hand, Ricky decided to help Hayes, Mordechai, and Ashley not because he wanted them
to help him in the future, but rather to repay the kindness that Lloyd had shown to the Five-element
Sect.

Ultimately, Ricky didn't like owing anything to others. To him, he would repay anyone who lent him a
hand during difficult times.

"Well, as it turns out, I'm right about you, you know," Lloyd remarked.

He could tell that Ricky was telling him the truth.

If he didn't care about the Five-element Sect, then he wouldn't have shared tips and other helpful things
with others just to help them win the upcoming contest.

After finishing his words, Lloyd left, and Ricky had the chance to finally begin his cultivation.



Nothing could break his focus as he aspired to break through and become a three-star lower spiritual
emperor and acquire more eternal power.

Generally speaking, the eternal power was believed to be very special. Despite having six zones and
the mysterious chromatic energy, Ricky was still unable to transform this energy into eternal power
because he was not that strong enough to do it.

Surely, it was possible for the chaotic power to be transformed into the eternal power. However, this
would cost him a lot of chaotic power just to obtain a small amount of eternal power.

Therefore, he thought that the best way to do this was to condense the eternal power himself or gather
it during his explorations.

However, condensing the eternal power was no easy task, too.

"I hope this helps. You can create several shadowy replicas and allow them to condense the eternal
power in the Massacring Zone," the Dragon Intent Grass proposed.

"Yes, I am aware of that, but I can, at most, create three shadowy replicas at the same time. I find it
very impossible to stay focused if I make more replicas than that. If I want to reach a higher level, I will
need to stay focused. The most crucial thing for me right now is to focus on improving my grade. I have
always known that my cultivation level is my waterloo,"

Ricky replied with a slight frown.

After three months,

all of the Sage Level warriors in the Middle Land had already prepared themselves for the Territory
Battle.



Frankly, they had no other choice but to participate in the said contest because it was the Misty South
Palace's idea.

The Misty South Palace was the most powerful force in the entire Misty South. Hence, no force had
ever dared defy its orders and ideas.

Meanwhile, all the warriors placed their eyes on the Grey Wind Land. It was located where the endless
mountain and the outer region of the Middle Land intersected.

Spaces were found to be connected to the chaos formed in the Grey Wind Land. According to legends,
those spaces took turns appearing there, perhaps, every two hundred years, with one of them leading
to an ancient battlefield.

Therefore, before the space appeared, all the warriors took each of their own talented disciples to the
Grey Wind Land.

Endless grey windstorms spun around and created spaces which then gathered and formed the Grey
Wind Land.

Containing enormous amounts of power, the grey winds would instantly turn any creature below the
Emperor Level into ashes.

These winds were so powerful that they had the ability to even cause harm to the saints.

Moreover, several space rifts were present in the area. If one fell in it, he would be sent to the chaos.
The space rifts were very difficult to manage that even saints could not get rid of them at all. Luckily,
these space cracks were evident and could be seen by the naked eye. Otherwise, no one would have
dared to come there in the first place.



Generally speaking, these kinds of places were quite popular among the warriors who cultivate the
wind power.

As a matter of fact, a year of cultivation here for them would yield progress that was equal to three
years in other places.

"If I had the chance, I will spend some time cultivating here. I think that I can understand the
Omnipotent Gale Skill better here than anywhere else," Ricky murmured to himself as he felt the
immense power that the grey windstorms contained.

"Oh, I almost forgot! You also practice the wind power, right?" Hayes clarified as he gave Ricky a faint
smile.

"Just a tip. After you go inside, pay extra caution to the disciples of the North Sect. The North Sect is
eyeing our territory. I am pretty sure that its disciples would hunt you down and give you a hard time.

Not only that. You also need to keep your guard up against the disciples of the Luo Clan. But, I am also
sure that you can handle them. Therefore, just pay close attention to the disciples of the North Sect.
They're your biggest threat," Lloyd warned Ricky, Mordechai, Ashley, and Hayes as he floated in the
air.

"Thank you for this, Elder Lloyd!" Ricky replied.

After waiting for a couple of days, the crowd sensed the sudden shift in the core area of the Grey Wind
Land.

At that moment, a myriad of grey windstorms emerged, causing a rift in the void.

They saw ancient relics, desolate places and broken or intact spaces through the rift.



In addition, they also felt the strong ancient aura that emanated from the rift.

Looking at the scene in front of them, they seemed to witness first-hand the intense bloodbath as the
top warriors exchanged heavy blows.

At this point, they felt tiny, inconspicuous specks of dust riding it out on the endless battlefield drenched
in blood.

"This in front of us is the real ancient battlefield. The scattering land of the ancient battlefield I entered
before is nothing compared to this one. It's not the size that matters. They bring me a different kind of
feeling. Just by looking at this battlefield, I can clearly tell that the battles fought here were nothing but
fierce,"

Ricky commented.

"That's right. This is a real ancient battlefield where countless warriors at the Sage Level or the
Potentate Level once fought," Mordechai chimed in. "Here, you can even see the damaged sites by the
Divine Level warriors."

"Once you enter it, keep your group intact! All of the others are enemies except for those from the four
branches of our sect," Lloyd reminded them. "Keep in mind that all the forces want to expand their
territory. That is the only known way on how they can gain more luck in expanding their influence."

Upon learning what they had to do, Ricky and the other three nodded their heads. "Sure thing.
Understood!" they replied firmly.

"Well, go on! Just don't get yourselves killed in there. Nothing is more important than your lives and
safety,"

Lloyd said as he wished them success.



Not long after, Ricky, Mordechai, Ashley, and Hayes jumped and disappeared into the rift. At the same
time, many people followed them and went into the rift. At that moment, the competition among the
talented warriors from the outer region of the Middle Land had begun.
