"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.
