Just as the Dragon Intent Grass had predicted, news of the appearance of the Emperor Intent Tomb swept through the entire Passage World like wildfire. Within a few hours, all of the creatures from the continent and the devil race knew of it and could be heard discussing it wherever they went.
The northern parts of the Passage World were soon overrun by creatures from the continent and the devil race.
Along with such a huge crowd also came bloodshed. Murders and deaths in the northern region increased drastically as one by one, and weaker creatures fell to their demise. Soon, the entire region was filled with nothing but corpses and the metallic smell of fresh blood.
"So much bloodshed. So many bodies..." Ricky sighed.
"The entire northern region reeks of blood. I wonder how many deaths have occurred so far. It must be a huge amount," Mordechai remarked.
"Unfortunately, such cruel bouts of bloodshed are all too common in the Passage World. There's nothing we can do about it. The devils are always seeking a way to get a hold over our continent," Ella told them.
"It's a pity, really. I feel sorry for these creatures. May they rest in peace," Jedidiah prayed sadly. His face had become somber.
The bloodshed was enormous. And although the battles weren't significant in size, they outnumbered anything Ricky could have imagined. He had no idea how cruel it could be when the devil race truly invaded the continent.
The silver lining was that during the slaughter, Ricky and the others gained a lot of points. Within just a fortnight, they were able to garner some twenty thousand points in total.
Funnily enough, this was because Jedidiah did not claim any points.
He would always say that he only needed five thousand points since he only wanted to become an ordinary disciple of the Misty South Palace, not a core disciple.
Ricky knew the reason. Jedidiah didn't need to join hands with any force since he had a demi-spiritual potentate behind him. All he needed was a name as a disciple of the Misty South Palace.
Just like him, there were many warriors who wanted nothing but the name of being a disciple of the Misty South Palace. Their reasons for this desire varied. Some of them just wanted to showcase their strength, while others wanted to kill devils. Jedidiah was among the latter.
Thus, Ricky did not protest when Jedidiah said he didn't need any points.
If Ricky did not have so many enemies, and if he hailed from a powerful background, he wouldn't have had to become a core disciple of the Misty South Palace, either.
Unfortunately, that wasn't something he had control over. Ricky also considered it a pity that he was never able to see Jedidiah's real strength.
Every time they encountered some devils, he would refuse to fight, saying that he no longer needed any points. Instead of fighting, he would let Ricky and the others take care of the devils.
It was fortunate that they didn't meet any devils stronger than a two-star middle spiritual emperor.
A month passed quickly. Gradually, bloodshed in the northern region declined. The entire area was slowly getting enveloped by yellow light which was constantly arising out of nowhere.
But everyone knew one thing: everything that the yellow light touched was the Emperor Intent Tomb. It was where the heavenly law had appeared.
"The Emperor Intent Tomb has appeared. We must seize this opportunity. Being able to cultivate inside the Emperor Intent Tomb even once is an invaluable opportunity for any warrior." Jedidiah became serious when he saw the Emperor Intent Tomb. At the same time, various other entities had the same idea.
"Ricky, the Emperor Intent Tomb does not appear more often than a few times in an era. You must seize this opportunity and try your best to comprehend the Intent Apperception," the Dragon Intent Grass said telepathically.
"I know you don't understand why the Intent Apperception is so important for martial arts, but you must trust me on this. You have to do this."
"Don't worry. The Intent Apperception isn't something that I take lightly," Ricky responded. "Even though I am only at the Emperor Level, something tells me that there is a connection between the Intent Apperception and martial arts. I think it has something to do with my cultivation of the Ancestral Intent Formula."
"That's good. Believe me. The Intent Apperception is indispensable for a warrior to become a supreme master," the grass replied.
While the warriors discussed and planned, the yellow light continued to condense over parts of the northern region and finally, it morphed into a brand-new world—a world within the Passage World! Two kinds of power were revolving around this new world. One was the ultimate ruling power and the other was the powerful and unfathomable Intent Apperception.
