After nearly a month's journey in the Massacring Zone, they finally arrived at the Stormy Sea bordered by the Eastern Land and the Western Land.
The Stormy Sea encompassed the whole Misty South, in which two lands circled each other.
It was so vast that no one knew where it started and where it ended, though some claimed it started in chaos and ended in chaos as well. Its substantial size was enough to divide all five lands on the Misty South.
Boom!
All they could hear was the loud crashing of waves, deafening and thunderous, as they approached the sea. The clouds were darkened by huge storms that stirred even the sunken vessels in the depths.
Meanwhile, Ricky and his companions remained inside the Massacring Zone.
One of the reasons that they lingered inside was the storms that there were quite a few forces in the Stormy Sea. Forces of humans and beasts stayed near the continent, while forces of marine creatures loitered in the sea.
Another reason was that the forces of marine creatures were said to be stronger than all the forces of the whole Eastern Land, and each of them had territories of their own.
If Ricky and his companions went out recklessly, something could happen to them. And with the strength of these creatures, they could easily run into trouble again.
As they waited, Ricky cultivated in seclusion to spend his time productively. He had already reached the peak of the upper spiritual king realm, and his foundation was immutable. He had also absorbed the tremendous energy in the Holy Water. Thus, he could tell that he could make a breakthrough at any time, and it would come naturally.
But before he broke through, he needed to recover all his blood essence first. If he didn't, he would take a long time in consolidating his breakthrough. It could also lead to a less stable breakthrough, which could be very dangerous for him. After all, anything gained through unnatural means could only have flawed results.
As he evolved the blood essence, Ricky took out a Monkey Fruit and a Dark and Light Lotus. These were Sage Level Treasures from Heaven and Earth, all instrumental for the recovery of his blood essence.
He refined them carefully, his movements sharp and precise, but he handled the precious treasures with all the gentleness his fingers could provide.
As a result, his results were through the roof! Ricky's blood essence was fully recovered in five days.
Of course, the Treasures from Heaven and Earth of Sage Level were the main reasons for his rapid recovery. Without them, it would take him two or three more weeks to recover.
Once everything was ready, Ricky made a breakthrough without hesitation. It only took two days for him to break through, and he ascended from an upper spiritual king to a completed spiritual king.
'I have reached the realm of a completed spiritual king. I wonder if I'm as strong as an ordinary demi-spiritual emperor now, ' Ricky wondered. He knew that once someone became a demi-spiritual emperor, he would begin to comprehend the ruling power. At this thought, a worried frown flashed across his face.
Meanwhile, Pearl had also made a breakthrough and reached the peak of the completed spiritual king realm. The next step for her would be becoming a demi-spiritual emperor, but she had to comprehend the ruling power before anything else.
At the same time, Sheila and Lori had progressed in their cultivation as well, and their strength had reached the level of a first-class completed spiritual king.
As for Hannah, the daughter of a holy warrior, she could quickly level up even without the help of cultivation with her current strength. By this time, she should have possessed the strength of an ordinary demi-spiritual emperor.
And with that strength, she would be able to defeat any other ordinary demi-spiritual emperor with ease.
As time passed, the group achieved more in strength. Finally, Soar arrived with Madeline after a few days.
Hugh and Amanda were also with them because apparently, they had agreed long ago, that they would go to the Western Land together with Ricky. To Ricky's surprise, Jasper also came with them.
"Jasper, are you going to the Western Land too?" Ricky asked in surprise, as he patted Jasper's back in welcome.
