"What? You know where my father is?" Ricky was left flabbergasted by Jeffrey's words
"Yes. Your mother told us and we have been secretly protecting him all these years." Jeffrey imparted.
"I see. Sorry to be a bother, but I need to get to him. I will explain everything to my father when I see him," Ricky said as he nodded. A look of expectation and longing lingered in his eyes.
"Alright, young master. I'll go send for someone to take your father here at once," Jeffrey said and made a turn to leave.
Ricky placed a hand on Jeffrey's shoulder, stopping him. "That's okay, but I want to go myself." He was feeling too eager and couldn't wait any longer.
"But young master, your mother has left something that you need to go to fetch by yourself, so I—"
"What is it?" Ricky interrupted.
"We don't know what it is. It's in our ancestral land," Jeffrey said.
"The ancestral land? It seems your clan is so extraordinary." Ricky couldn't help but smile. "Please take me there!"
"It's actually inside my body!" Jeffrey said as he gently pointed to himself.
The next moment, his right eye sparkled and a black figure slowly came out from it. The figure soon formed into a bronze body.
"Young master, this is the ancestral land of our clan," Jeffrey explained to Ricky.
As he gazed at the bronze body, Ricky felt an inexplicable impulse inside his blood and veins as if there was something about it that resonated with him.
'It seems that my blood power is really the same with the Giant blood power. But I wonder what kind of blood power it is? Does having the Giant blood power mean that I can expand my body?' Ricky thought to himself.
"Sir, you said that my mother had the same blood power as your clan. Could you please tell me where the blood power originated from?" Ricky asked. Since they were on the same team, he must know some information about the source of the Giant blood power.
"Of course. But if you still think it's a bit unrealistic after my explanation, just please refrain from laughing," Jeffrey said with a smile.
"I promise I won't laugh. Sir, you can just call me by my name. It's kind of strange to hear 'young master'," Ricky said.
"All right, Ricky." Jeffrey's smile got wider.
Apparently, he had known Ricky's real identity long ago.
"The blood power of our clan comes from the holy beings of the Celestial Land. What I know is that our ancestors, the holy beings, died because during the war. Countless powerful warriors of our clan also died, and eventually, our clan slowly declined.
After so many years, we retreated from the Celestial Land to this place. If it were not for the help of your mother, we wouldn't have become the spiritual-emperor force that we are now."
"So, you are from the Celestial Land!" Ricky said in a low whisper.
He suddenly thought of the Holy Three-Saber's words once again.
'Then, my blood power really traces back to the Celestial Land, ' he thought.
"Sir, no offense, but your blood power comes from holy beings. You shouldn't have declined so abruptly!" Ricky lamented.
"This is a deadly weakness of our advanced bloodline. The stronger the blood power, the better. Once there is no suitable overmatch in the family, the entire family's blood power will degenerate," Jeffrey sighed.
"There's no stopping it once it starts to degenerate. It's as if this blood power is cursed. And the longer it passes, the worse the situation will be, unless there will be a genius who breaks the curse and reach the initial higher level the blood power once was."
"That is very surprising. I wasn't aware of that," Ricky commented as he was a little surprised.
"Maybe this is the will of the heavenly law. It cannot allow too many powerful creatures to appear in the world," Jeffrey said.
