Born Almighty Warrior novel Chapter 1312

At this point, Ricky had no idea where to go. He knew that he needed to go somewhere secure, where he could properly focus on his training. He still had a whole year before the Misty South Palace held the selection, and before that, he needed to become stronger.

The good thing was that he didn't need to worry about the Five-element Sect, at least, for fifty years. The fact that he had guaranteed their safety for such a long time was a load of his back.

As long as Ricky was not in the Five-element Sect, they would certainly be safe from harm.

Of course, he didn't forget to send a message back to Lloyd, informing him that he was safe and sound. He had done this by creating a Shadowy Replication, which he tasked to deliver the said message to the Five-element Sect in the guise of an old man. That way, nobody would even look twice at the replication.

Ricky himself had decided to change his appearance before he left the mountain, for he knew that it would not only allow him to move unhindered, but it would also keep him safe.

It was no secret that Paul's inheritance was in his possession, so he expected that most, if not all, warriors would soon find out what he looked like. Everybody would undoubtedly be on the lookout for him after all. If he didn't disguise himself, any warrior he encountered would recognize him and spread the news about his whereabouts.

Unfortunately, a lot of people already knew what he looked like when he activated the middle realm of the Transforming Omnipotent Skill. So now, he only had two choices. He could activate the young realm or the old realm.

Skin masks, which could also alter his appearance, were not an option since it wouldn't fool the saints at all, not with his current casting skills.

'I guess I should improve my casting skills. I don't have to become a real casting master at the Sage Level, but my abilities need to be close to that level. Only in that way can I have a better understanding of runes,' thought Ricky as he carefully outlined his plans in his mind.

"Have you decided yet? Are you choosing the young realm or the old realm?" the Dragon Intent Grass probed inquisitively.

"Of course, I will activate the young realm! I don't want to live as an old man for a year,"

Ricky explained shortly, knowing that the Dragon Intent Grass was curious why he chose that identity.

After that, he immediately activated the young realm of the Transforming Omnipotent Skill, and a unique force shrouded his body in an instant. In a heartbeat, his appearance began to change, and he gradually started to shrink.

Ricky's features had changed from a handsome young man that was about five feet and nine inches in height to a cute-looking boy, who was only four feet and twenty-six inches tall.

He now looked like a child of seven or eight years old! And as a result, the clothes he was wearing hung limply on him, being a better fit for a young man's body than the child-like body he currently had.

"Oh, man, my clothes! But at least no one will recognize me now," groaned Ricky as he double-checked his appearance with his mind.

"Wow! You look completely different, although your white hair didn't change at all," remarked the Dragon Intent Grass. "I bet this will make things more interesting. Can you imagine their reaction once they find a child that has the strength of a middle spiritual emperor?"

As if it could not handle such a ridiculous thought, the Dragon Intent Grass collapsed into laughter.

Meanwhile, Ricky ignored its teasing remarks and tore off his clothes casually. He gathered some mud from the ground, muddied his face with it, and then left the mountain without a backward glance.

No one would guess that the filthy child in rags would be Ricky. 'I certainly owe the Old Oriental Emperor a lot for teaching me the skill of Transforming Realm. It has been invaluable to me so far,' thought Ricky to himself with no small trace of gratefulness.

Afterward, he found and entered a city filled with the hustle and bustle of a healthy population. He immediately sought more information about the place.

He was shocked when he discovered that he was somewhere in the Middle Land's central region.

'I didn't expect Master Otis would take me to the central region, but now that I think about it, it's such a good idea. No one would expect that I would come here!' Ricky thought to himself with a little satisfaction.

He had also discovered that the area he was in was currently under the control of two forces at the Sage Level.

One of the two forces was the Black Flaming Phoenix tribe.

To his knowledge, the Black Flaming Phoenix was an emperor beast with a powerful bloodline, and all of its progeny possessed at least fifty percent of the Great Phoenix's bloodline. Hence, the Black Flaming Phoenix tribe was one of the tribes which were considered to be the closest to the Great Phoenix.

Frankly, Ricky disliked anything related to the Phoenix tribe. That was why even though he had not encountered any creature from the Black Flaming Phoenix tribe yet, he was already wary of them.

The other Sage Level force that ruled in the city was the Abstinent Sect.
