"It will take me about a month to recover my lost eyesight. To tell you the truth, I unleashed the power of the Heaven Illuminating Fire knowing that becoming totally blind was a risk. We were so close to death at that time and I had to make a quick decision. It's just fortunate that I was stopped by the appearance of the array," Kristen explained.
Even now that they were safe, there was still a hint of fear in Kristen's heart when she remembered what had happened. If Yates hadn't activated the array to seal the Heaven Illuminating Fire, she was very likely to unleash the fire continuously regardless of the risks. She could have become totally blind.
"That's too dangerous. Kristen, don't be so impulsive next time!" Ricky said anxiously. "After you reach the immortal realm and have a better understanding of the power of your eyes, the effect of the sequela will be much less."
"There's still a long way to go for me to become an innate spirit," Kristen sighed at this. She shook her head.
"Kristen, you once thought that becoming a demi-immortal was far too difficult, but look where you are now. And if I'm not wrong, it didn't take you so long to reach the demi-immortal realm," Ricky said.
"Russell, I believe it won't take you much time to break through from a demi-immortal to an innate spirit. But Kristen and I are not as powerful as you. We'll likely be stuck at the demi-immortal realm for decades," Tyson chimed in.
As Trent and Bastian didn't yet know Ricky's real identity, Tyson and Kristen still referred to him as Russell.
"I don't want to admit it, but I have to agree with Tyson. If we don't get any great opportunities in the future, we will indeed have to stay at the demi-immortal realm for a long, long time," Kristen nodded. She added, "After all, the breakthrough from demi-immortal realm to the immortal realm requires not only a long time spent on cultivation, but also the complex process of comprehension.
Fortunately, we already comprehended a little bit of enlightening power in the Devil Beast Valley. Otherwise, things would have been much more difficult for us."
"Are you kidding? Is it really that hard for a demi-immortal to become an innate spirit?" Ricky asked, slightly incredulous.
Tyson and Kristen simply shook their heads without saying anything else. Ricky was so much more powerful than them that he couldn't relate to their struggles.
Ricky stopped talking, realizing what the two meant. He threw up his hands in the air, a little upset.
"Ha-ha!" Soar and Trent laughed loudly at the sight of them.
...
As they were advancing rapidly, they didn't notice anything out of the ordinary up in the sky. Even an upper spiritual king might not have detected it!
It was because the abnormality that took place was somewhere deep in the space.
There was a simple but graceful airship flying somewhere deep in the space. Its passengers were, of course, Tina and Doris.
After Tina had resolved the problems of the Dahlia Palace, she left the Chaotic Region with Doris. They had chosen to follow Ricky, and thus they were now traveling hidden inside the airship.
"Tina, did Ricky really kill the devil king at the demi-spiritual emperor level with the power inside his body?" Doris asked, her eyes full of doubt.
"Doris, Ricky didn't talk about that in detail, but he wouldn't have any incentive to lie," Tina replied.
"I don't mean to imply that he lied to you! But if that's true, it's really incredible!" Doris said. "It seems that I have underestimated Ricky. He is indeed much more powerful than I had thought."
"Doris, Ricky is the one who has the Body of Devouring Power that has unlimited potential for growth. He can also challenge an opponent three levels higher than him. How can you think such a man could be normal?" Tina exclaimed.
"You are right! But it is really incredible that he owns the power which enables him to defeat a demi-spiritual emperor. Is he backed by one emperor, perhaps? Or even a saint?" Doris said, feeling relatively confused.
"Doris, I have never known that you like guessing so much," Tina teased her with a chuckle.
