Hearing what the saint guardian said, all the warriors surrounding them were shocked once again. They could not help but envy Ricky. After all, it was a great honor to be invited to talk by a saint.
This was much more important than being called "little buddy".
It showed that the saint guardian already viewed Ricky as his own people, and now, Ricky had added a saint as one of his backups. If Ricky asked the saint guardian to do something for him, the saint guardian would probably agree to do it, as long as it was reasonable and it wasn't too difficult to do.
Now, some things could seem improper for a saint guardian to do himself, but there was no doubt that there would be many upper spiritual emperors or demi-saints who would love to do it in his place, as a favor to a saint.
'Ricky should not be trifled with!' The warriors marveled at Ricky's luck, as his influence grew even greater. They gave up the idea of taking anything from him at once, as nothing would be worth throwing their lives away, which was essentially what they were doing if they went after him.
At this point, the members of the Sky-breaking Dome and the Chu Clan were drowning in their shame and anger in the face of Ricky's success.
They held too much jealousy, hatred, and killing intent toward him, and their resentment for him was so deep that it ran through their very bones.
At that moment, Ricky was also surprised to hear the saint guardian's invitation, but it suddenly dawned on him that every strong warrior had to take an incredible demi-spiritual emperor seriously. No wonder the saint guardian thought highly of him.
So he readily agreed saying, "I have no reason to reject your invitation, sir."
He was happy to have a connection with a saint. After all, he was confident but he was not arrogant. He would not be haughty or rely on himself for everything.
In the world of martial arts, the more sophisticated ones had more chances to survive.
Of course, Ricky's sophistication was on the premise of not hurting others.
He believed that the saint guardian invited him sincerely because the Dragon Intent Grass had told him that the super forces that dispatched saints to guard weaker lands were all forces of justice. This meant that the saint they dispatched were all righteous.
So it was unlikely that the saint guardian invited him to have a private talk with sinister intention.
Besides, even if he wanted to snatch something from Ricky, Ricky had no choice but to give in to him.
That was because he was being watched by a saint. He could not escape even if he wanted to. He just needed to face it head-on.
"Ha-ha, you are quite brave. You deserve to be an incredible demi-spiritual emperor. Ordinary demi-spiritual emperors can only tremble before me, and none of them can look as relaxed as you do," the saint guardian noted with a smile, looking quite impressed with him.
In the next moment, Ricky's body vibrated for an instant, and when he recovered from the shock, he found himself in another world. Needless to say, it was the world of the saint guardian.
It was not until the saint guardian and Ricky disappeared from their sight that Arthur and his people dared to move and breathe smoothly.
In the saint guardian's world, Ricky found a simple house in the middle of a meadow. It held a simple set of furniture inside—some wooden chairs and a small wooden table.
"Little buddy, I invited you here not for anything else but to build a friendship with you, because I like befriending any genius that I encounter. I would not pass up befriending some like you, an incredible demi-spiritual emperor!" the saint guardian said eagerly and introduced himself.
"I'm the Metal Fire Saint!"
"I am flattered, Sir!" Ricky answered with a bright smile.
After that, they talked randomly about anything and everything that came to their minds. The Metal Fire Saint liked to listen to Ricky's experiences because, for a saint, the stories of any incredible demi-spiritual emperor could bring an opportunity to comprehend the heavenly law and the supreme enlightenment.
Of course, only a saint was qualified to comprehend something from the stories of an incredible demi-spiritual emperor.
The Metal Fire Saint was also quite generous. He told Ricky a lot of his martial arts experiences, as well as his understanding of the path of martial arts for an incredible demi-spiritual emperor.
Ricky benefited a lot from these detailed conversations that they were having, and from these, he found a better way that he had a better understanding on the path as an incredible demi-spiritual emperor.
