Although the Free Palace was a force to be reckoned with, it still showed immense respect towards the Helian Clan. They even went so far as to give up the southeastern area they had occupied earlier to the Helian Clan.
The reason for this treatment was simple. Many powerful warriors of the Free Palace were independent cultivators, and because of the Free Palace's relationship with the Helian Clan, these warriors were more likely to be invited elders of the Helian Clan.
The invited elders of the Helian Clan held a high position and had status beyond others.
They could have their weapons cast for free and could also make use of the rich cultivation resources provided by the Helian Clan. In the entirety of the four continents, the Short Human tribe was said to have the richest and the most advanced cultivation resources.
All those resources were made available to them as long as they helped the younger generation of the Helian Clan in their cultivation and also swore to protect the safety of the Helian Clan to a certain extent.
This was because the Short Human Tribe was not adept in cultivation.
Therefore, they were willing to provide the cultivation resources to the invited elders who stayed loyal to them.
The cities in the territory of the Helian Clan were usually bustling. Some came to cast weapons, some came to observe the casting and wanted to comprehend something in the casting conception, and some who were casting lovers came to worship the Short Human tribe because of their amazing casting skills.
Apart from the usual crowd, the Helian Clan's invited geniuses from various casting forces to attend the casting competition made the cities more lively than normal.
High in the sky, many airships were making their way to the cities, carrying masters from famous casting forces in the interior region. They were arriving with their own geniuses to attend the competition.
It was the hot topic of the warriors in every city at the moment.
Occasionally, some of them would also mention Wayne, and that he was Ricky's apprentice.
As soon as Ricky and Amelia arrived, the two of them entered the Massacring Zone and immediately sensed Wayne's aura, hoping to meet Wayne in secret.
Unfortunately, he was imprisoned in a remote palace which was being guarded strictly with powerful restrictions. Even though Ricky had activated the Massacring Zone, he still couldn't enter the palace without anyone noticing.
"It seems like the Helian Clan has yet to make a final decision on Wayne because of the status of his grandfather. Obviously, they would settle the matter as soon as the competition is over," said Amelia.
"That seems to be the case. I have to defeat all the casting geniuses of the Helian Clan in this competition," Ricky exclaimed in a firm tone. "That is the only way to eliminate the influence of his apprenticeship under me."
"It's going to be extremely hard. The top geniuses of the Helian Clan are said to possess the strongest casting talent in all four continents," said the Dragon Intent Grass.
"Anyway, try your best."
"Hmm. I wonder if any of their younger generation's geniuses has reached the Sage Level."
Rocky looked grim. "If any of them has reached the Sage Level, things will become really troublesome for us," he said, sighing heavily.
This time, in addition to the casting forces, the Helian Clan had also invited saints from top forces as guests to watch the casting competition.
The Helian Clan held these casting competitions to show off their casting skills to these top forces.
And once these top forces personally witnessed the high casting skills of the Short Human tribe, they would automatically show respect to the tribe.
Naturally, the saints of the Misty South Palace were invited as well.
This time, the saint who had come on behalf of the Misty South Palace was Kolton.
He was definitely one of the top among the great saints. Hundreds of years ago, he had reached the late stage as a great saint, merely a step away from the peak state.
'Kolton is pretty famous and is a powerful great saint from the Misty South Palace. I hope he can speak for me when the time comes.' Ricky hoped.
Although he had arrived in the city earlier than most, Ricky didn't show up until the day before the casting competition began. By this time, most geniuses from other casting forces had already registered.
The registration counter was situated in the main city square.
As soon as Ricky appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of the crowd.
"Isn't that Ricky? White-haired Ricky?"
