Boom!
In the depths of that space, dozens of enlightening vortexes in the middle of the air stirred up strong enlightening windstorms that permeated the whole area.
Meanwhile in the vicinity of those enlightening vortexes, funnel-like enlightening windstorms were sweeping upwards. These storms were equally oozing the enlightening power.
At that moment, Ricky felt the two Wind Holes in his palms began to pop up as if they were about to take in all the enlightening windstorms around him.
Ricky was completely focused on the enlightening vortexes at that point.
If he could refine all the enlightening power from the enlightening vortexes and store that power in his zones, his force would be strengthened exponentially.
"Young master, it looks like these enlightening vortexes have nothing to do with you now." Ricky gave a cold smile.
If he had not used the sisters for his own escape and gotten sucked in, the enlightening vortexes would have belonged to him eventually.
Ricky had missed the fact that the young master would not be able to get into this place despite having been sucked into the space rift.
The force of the enlightening windstorms was well beyond what a second-class lower spiritual king could take.
'I hope that Soar doesn't think that I've been killed already!' Ricky thought to himself before he set out to refine the enlightening vortexes.
"I thought you were a peerless genius beyond comparison, yet you only paid attention to these enlightening windstorms. Maybe I was wrong about you." At that moment, a voice sounded in his head. It sounded as if it came from an old man.
As old as it sounded, it struck Ricky's mind like a bomb. There was a great power instilled in each of the words.
"Who is this?" Ricky asked, feeling incredulous and surprised.
He had an educated guess as to who the owner of this voice was after thinking for a moment. It could only be the creator of the Small World he was in. It had to be a supreme emperor.
"I am the Oriental Emperor, and I am the creator of this Small World that you are currently in." The voice spoke again.
"Master Oriental Emperor!" Ricky immediately deferred to him as his guess had just been validated. The man was indeed a supreme emperor.
Anyone who made it to the rank of an emperor was no ordinary character. That was more than enough to earn Ricky's respect.
"Spare me the groveling, you may simply address me as master," the Oriental Emperor said to him.
"Yes, master!" Ricky nodded while saluting him.
"I assume that you know why I am having this conversation with you, yes?"
"I reckon it may have something to do with the talent I have?" Ricky responded tentatively.
"You're not wrong. I am talking to you because you are indeed a peerless genius," the Oriental Emperor continued, saying. "If you were an ordinary genius, I would not have stepped in to save your life.
You may find my way of thinking as being too cruel or unfair, but this is the way the world of martial arts works. Fairness is a luxury exclusively for the strong ones or geniuses. Of course, the strong ones can choose to step up and uphold fairness for the good of the weaker warriors."
"I agree with you, master!" Ricky nodded.
He understood what the Oriental Emperor meant by that. The reason that the Oriental Emperor saved his life was because he was a peerless genius.
Ricky displayed no displeasure because so many experiences had taught him that the weak would never be able to get respect from the strong. That was a rule of thumb in the world of martial arts.
"Please take your opportunity from me using the two Wind Holes in your palms," the Oriental Emperor further explained. "The power of enlightening windstorms is too strong for you, so I will help to bring it down to a level that is suitable for you.
I will also lift the ruling power from it because its existence could impede your advancement for the moment. You can get to that later."
"Thank you so much, master!" Ricky solemnly thanked the Oriental Emperor.
"You can only stay here for one month, then the rest is up to you."
"Master, I was wondering if you could kindly help me with something. A brother of mine is still out there. So, would you kindly let him know that I am still alive, please?" Ricky carefully made a request.
He was worried that Soar would do something irrational because he didn't know that Ricky had survived everything. It was really for the best to let him know.
"I will see what I can do," the Oriental Emperor replied kindly.
"Let me remind you that it is imperative that you learn how to control your emotion. Focus on what you should do instead of fantasizing about something beyond your reach. That is for later when you become more confident and capable."
Ricky was at a little bit of a loss. He had no clue as to why the Oriental Emperor said all that out of the blue.
Ricky still nodded despite his confusion though.
He understood that the Oriental Emperor must have meant something important. He would have to sleep on it and think about things before taking any action.
Then, Ricky could sense that the Oriental Emperor had left.
"The enlightening windstorm...I wonder how I can achieve it with the Wind Holes in my palms. Hopefully I will not be let down in this," Ricky murmured to himself after the Oriental Emperor left while looking at the sweeping enlightening windstorms around him.
