Chapter 1337 Becoming A Casting Master At The Peak Of Demi-sage Level

Ricky spent four months honing his control of the shura power and the first move of the Shura Eight
Moves.

After that, he decided to work on his casting skills in the following days.

He already had the Shura Justice Saber as his accompanying weapon which was integrated by his Iron
Justice Saber and the Shura Blade. So he didn't think he needed to cast other weapons for the time
being. But, of course, just because he was satisfied with his current weapon, it did not mean he could
stop practicing his casting skills forever. After all, if he wanted to comprehend more profound runic
power, he needed to reach a higher casting level.

A holistic growth was the key to reach his optimal strength, which meant he could not let his runic
power get left behind once his cultivation level increased. If that happened, his mutant powers would
grow significantly weaker.

During this period, Ricky also mastered the supreme enlightenment power with the help of the Chaos
Manual.

If Ricky wanted to become a great warrior, he was required to have a better understanding of the
supreme enlightenment. The Chaos Manual was a great source of information for that, as it was mainly
about runes.

All these pointed to one thing alone—even though Ricky had an incredible accompanying weapon, he
couldn't neglect weapon casting skills.

Another benefit to better weapon casting skills was that it would bring him more resources.

Some time ago, Ricky had become a casting master at the Demi-sage Level. But there was still a
significant gap between him and those who were at the peak of Demi-sage Level. He still had a long



way to go if he wanted to be a casting master of Sage Level.

Recently, Ricky's skills in casting weapons had been in a slump since he had focused on improving his
cultivation level.

And as a result, his runic power had fallen behind his current cultivation level. That was what reminded
him of the significance of cultivating the runes.

Ricky's runic power must be equal to a middle spiritual emperor at peak state now. However, before he
became an upper spiritual emperor, he would have to become a Sage Level casting master.

Otherwise, it would have a bad influence on his skip-level challenge.

Thus, at this moment, his top priority was to become a casting master at the peak of Demi-sage Level.

Ricky entered the Chaotic Fire Zone. There, he prepared himself to practice his casting skills.

He studied the Chaos Manual and found a way to become a casting master at the peak of Demi-sage
Level.

Sage Level casting masters was much stronger than many casting masters.

With the supreme enlightenment power, they could cast powerful weapons and even sacred weapons.

These casting masters could make weapons without psychic intelligence if they wanted.

But, more importantly, they could create intelligent sacred weapons.

That was the reason why a casting master must comprehend the supreme enlightenment before he
could ascend to the Sage Level.



Unfortunately, that made it practically impossible for a creature who was below the Emperor Level to
become a casting master of Sage Level no matter how talented he or she was. Only warriors at the
Emperor Level could handle the heavenly law and utilize the supreme enlightenment.

Thus, to a certain extent, it showed that martial arts and casting were closely related.

Ricky was already a middle spiritual emperor. On top of that, he owned the Chaos Manual. Since he
was already a casting master of Demi-sage Level, he could probably reach the peak in no time. He
also believed that he could make it, for he had a lot of faith in his abilities.

With his masculine body on display, Ricky wiped his sweat with the shirt he had taken off. Then, he
went straight to casting practice.

Practice was incredibly critical to weapon casting, and it was the most efficient way to advance his
casting level.

While Ricky was cultivating in seclusion, the warriors from the entire outer and central regions fiercely
fought each other with all they had. All of them wanted to obtain the tokens required for the Misty South
Palace's selection process.

Despite that, the people from the Sage Level forces had not given up searching for Ricky. They had
even gone to great lengths just to get a glimpse of his shadow, which wasn't really surprising. Every
one of them wanted to snatch Paul's inheritance from Ricky. After all, Paul had been a spiritual
potentate and the strongest warrior in ancient times. No warrior could get to his level. Hell, there wasn't
even a spiritual potentate in this era.

But Ricky had hidden well. Not even spiritual potentates could track him down. Thus, he focused all his
attention on improving his casting level in the zone without being worried about being discovered by his
enemies.



Those warriors were doomed to fail from the start. Ricky was one hundred percent confident that no
one would be able to locate him before the real selection of the Misty South Palace began.

Among those who were determined to hunt Ricky down were the creatures from the Phoenix tribe.

Lanny, who was the noble son of the Phoenix tribe, had undoubtedly sent his men to search for Ricky.

That was because he had heard a lot about Ricky. Intelligence reports told him that the other man was
still alive, and he already had seven mutants in his grasp. Moreover, he had once been an incredible
demi-spiritual emperor. And now that Ricky had Paul's inheritance, Lanny was even more eager to take
him out.

He hated to admit it, but Ricky was indeed more talented than him.

He had seen how strong Ricky was the last time they met, and although it had only been a few years,
the other man had grown unbelievably strong. At this point, he couldn't be more aware that Ricky had
become a great threat to him. He needed to terminate Ricky at once.

Moreover, Lanny wanted Grace's blood power for himself, and he thought of her as his property.

He would never allow anyone to take her away, and especially not before he took her blood power.

Aside from the Phoenix tribe, another force wanted Ricky's head.

The members from the said force were shrouded in black robes. If Ricky could see them, he would
recognize them instantly, as they gave off a similar aura as Oswald's men.

Obviously, the group was from a force that possessed an evil mutant.

On the other hand, there was another team from another mysterious force, and they followed the black-
robed men in secret. Their goal was to protect Ricky from the men in black.



In conclusion, almost all the forces were after Ricky, with the exception of a few top-notch forces and
influential clans with a long history. The situation was not as peaceful as it appeared.

It seemed that Ricky was in high demand.

Fortunately for Ricky, the news that he had gotten his hands on Eli's stuff hadn't gotten out.

Otherwise, even more people would have been after him.

As the fight over the tokens raged on, Ricky's casting skills continued to improve. Time flew by, and in
the blink of an eye, many months had passed. Now, only a few days were left before the South Misty
Palace's selection.

The Dragon Intent Grass called out to Ricky, disturbing his concentration as he worked on improving
his casting level.

At this point, he had become a casting master at the peak of Demi-sage Level. He had even gained a
deeper understanding of runes. Great progress was made on his comprehension of the five kinds of
runes, which would surely give him an advantage against enemies stronger than him.

Since his casting had improved, his cultivation level had increased as well.

This time, Ricky had improved in leaps and bounds.

"Very good! You've made great progress!" the Dragon Intent Grass praised him with a satisfied air.

"This is all for the sake of the Misty South Palace's upcoming selection. I intend to become their core
disciple this time. Otherwise, I believe there will be no place for me in the Misty South unless I am as
strong as a powerful saint," Ricky seriously intoned.



"Ha-ha! Don't worry. If you can't even become a core disciple of the Misty South Palace, no one else
could make it. Besides, I'm sure that after this selection, everyone in the Misty South will know your
name,"

the Dragon Intent Grass assured him with a smile.

"Thank you. I hope so too," responded Ricky politely.

After that, he finally left the Chaotic Fire Zone and headed for where the Misty South Palace's selection
would take place.

While he was on his way, Ricky received a message from the Evil Mandragora.

"Evil Mandragora, are you done with your cultivation? It's been a while since you entered the Divine
Manor for cultivation," he remarked as he released the Evil Mandragora.

However, the moment he caught sight of her familiar visage, he fell silent and his eyes widened in
surprise. He could only stare blankly at the beautiful woman in front of him. Any man who laid eyes on
her would certainly fall for her.
