"It seems that you've absorbed a lot of experience from our martial arts. Although this experience might seem useless to you right now, I'm sure it will be of great benefit to you in the future. It will play an important role in the improvement of your cultivation," the golden shadow stated calmly as he appeared before Ricky.
"So we're moving onto the next cultivation method—the Golden Pattern Skill."
His voice faded away. Without leaving a moment for silence, he immediately clapped his hands and an energetic force erupted from them. The source of massacre started to augment within a second. Mighty rays of golden lightning flashed in the sky before flying into Ricky's mind.
Information entered his mind.
"The Golden Pattern Skill is the cultivation method inherited by those in the Massacring Holy Ant tribe. It is also a cultivation method at the inferior stage of Heaven Level,"
Ricky murmured. A vision of text seemed to appear before him and he read them aloud as they came. "What? It's a cultivation method of the Heaven Level!" He couldn't help the gasp that escaped him as he understood the meaning of those words.
The Heaven Level was the highest level a cultivation method could reach in the Misty South. Except for the Chaos Manual, the Galaxy Saber Skill, a cultivation method at the inferior stage of Earth Level, was the strongest skill in his roster.
Thus, he was dumbfounded upon learning that he was about to acquire a cultivation method at the inferior stage of Heaven Level.
"Since we are a holy tribe, it's natural that our inheritable cultivation method has achieved the Heaven Level." There was another pause. The golden shadow spoke in stilted words, slow and steady as if conversation took effort. "In the following process, you'll need all your concentration to learn methods to refine the Golden Pattern Skill."
"Yes, sir." Ricky nodded in comprehension as he tried to contain his excitement.
"The massacring power will turn into golden pattern when you concentrate on the refining process..." Ricky murmured to himself as the cultivation method flashed in his head.
The Golden Pattern Skill evolved from massacring power. The latter accumulated inside the user's body until it could generate a powerful golden pattern. The resulting pattern could then take on different forms and structures to attack enemy.
The greater the variety of golden patterns one could make, the more powerful one's skill would be. So, the utmost refinement of the golden patterns was crucial.
There was a tale once that said the man who could complete the Golden Pattern Skill, would then possess a thousand patterns. But when the patriarch of the Massacring Holy Ant tribe practiced this skill, he only gathered a total of seven hundred patterns in his time. Considering this, it was beyond imagination for one to possess one thousand golden patterns.
It took Ricky three days to fully learn about the Golden Pattern Skill.
"When the tribe was buried in the dust and dirt, their only hope was their unique cultivation method. When their cultivation method gets handed down from generation to generation, their spirits will last forever in the world of martial arts," the golden shadow said in a serious tone after Ricky finished the refining process.
"Since you possess the Massacring Mutant, you have a big advantage over all other creatures when learning massacring power. I hope that you will try your best and acquire one thousand golden patterns in the future."
"Sir, I will try my best. Although this road might be long and fraught with danger, I will make sure the Golden Pattern Skill shines in the world of martial arts one day, no matter the costs!" Ricky firmly replied with a solemn expression on his face.
"That's great. Now that you have grasped the Golden Pattern Skill, my mission is complete." He hummed in contentment before he continued, "And I've got some good news. I'm glad to hear that the three juniors from the Predatory Holy Ant tribe have begun practicing their martial arts in the ancestral land. It means that they have dropped animosity toward our tribe.
Now I feel much better. I really hope I can atone for the sin of our tribe."
"Sir, the Massacring Holy Ant tribe did the right thing when they chose to fight the devils. They were great people for whom I have the utmost admiration. Our younger generations will learn from their brave deeds. The traitors were the ones with terrible sins, but they were just a minor part of your tribe. They couldn't represent the entire Massacring Holy Ant tribe," Ricky stated in a low voice. He looked deeply into the golden shadow's eyes, conveying his determination with a glance.
"Ha-ha. It has never occurred to me that I could be comforted by a junior." The golden shadow burst into amicable laughter upon hearing Ricky's words.
"The moment you inherited the cultivation method, the ancestral land of our tribe has been put under your control. When you use your mind, the land will integrate into your body." Their eyes met as the shadow continued his explanation.
"I have placed everything at your disposal and so, it's time for me to go."
"Sir, I feel like the burden that's been placed on my shoulders has risen considerably." A faint smile lingered on Ricky's face as he heard the other's farewell.
