With his legs crossed, Ricky sat down immediately and began to adjust his state of mind. He closed his eyes and began to concentrate heavily. Merging the Heavenly Meridian with their own spiritual meridian was considered to be a sacred event for any creature.
Standing beside Ricky was Tina, who remained quiet, looking at him intently from time to time.
After a while, Ricky flipped his hand and three Heavenly Meridians started to appear.
These three Heavenly Meridians that he held were from Roe, Killer No. 2, and Killer No. 1 respectively. Needless to say, he had obtained several other Heavenly Meridians from other warriors. Aside from what he had, he had given away the rest of his Heavenly Meridians to his other companions, including Sheila and Lori.
"Come on, Ricky. Don't think too much. Please try again!" Tina persuaded as soon as she saw the hesitation on Ricky's face.
His uncertainty was quite valid. He was hesitant because he didn't want all of his efforts to be in vain. He had been doing all that he could to become a spiritual emperor. It was all or nothing for him. He didn't know if he could bear the pain of failing the task, even if he was mentally prepared and determined to succeed in his goal.
However, he clearly knew that there was nothing else he could do but face whatever result might appear in front of him.
At first, he didn't believe that he was unable to break through and enter the spiritual emperor realm even after he had obtained the incredible regained spiritual meridian.
"Merge!" Ricky, out of the blue, shouted as he made one of the Heavenly Meridians enter his Soul Sea directly and merge with his regained spiritual meridian. Afterwards, he condensed all his power on the Heavenly Meridian, allowing the Heavenly Meridian to fight against his regained spiritual meridian.
On the downside, Ricky could probably be thinking about it too much.
As soon as he incorporated the regained spiritual meridian into his Soul Sea, the regained spiritual meridian immediately released its power directly. Before Ricky's power was released, the regained spiritual meridian burst out such strong power, destroying the Heavenly Meridian instantly.
Everything happened so fast that Ricky was not able to react accordingly.
Luckily, the power of the regained spiritual meridian hardly had any harmful effect on his body at all.
As everything happened so fast, Ricky was left in awe.
At that moment, he felt something out of the ordinary. As he sat there, aghast, he sensed that the regained spiritual meridian was trying to send him an obvious message—he did not need a Heavily Meridian. Determined to send him a message, the regained spiritual meridian did everything that it could to catch Ricky's attention and to make him realize what it was trying to say.
As far as being firm with its cause, it was also angry not only with Ricky but also with the Heavenly Meridian. However, it was angry with Ricky because he wanted to merge it with the Heavenly Meridian.
But its anger against the Heavenly Meridian was too much that the regained spiritual meridian felt the killing intent towards the Heavenly Meridian.
"Are you...angry?" Ricky asked cautiously in disbelief after he recovered from shock.
Being integrated with the regained spiritual meridian, he could clearly tell that it was so angry and disappointed with him.
Feeling the anger of the regained spiritual meridian, Ricky felt that he no longer cared so much if he were to fail with the merging of the Heavenly Meridian and his regained spiritual meridian. At that point, he came to realize that everything would not be in vain.
He didn't want to blow this out of proportion, so he didn't push through with his plan to merge another Heavenly Meridian with his regained spiritual meridian.
Seeing how the regained spiritual meridian was acting, Ricky thought that he should have a good talk with it to smooth things out.
He once considered himself to be a waste in the martial arts world in the first place. Apart from this, it was such a humiliating experience for him that his spiritual meridian had been taken out. With that being the case, it should have been nearly impossible for him to enter the middle stage of Skin Refinement realm. But without the regained spiritual meridian's help, he would not have been brought back into the martial arts world again.
Clearly, the regained spiritual meridian meant a lot to him.
However, the regained spiritual meridian was very unwilling to integrate with the Heavenly Meridian. The question remained unsolved: why did he insist on merging the two meridians? Was it true that he ignored the regained spiritual meridian's wishes only because he wanted to become a spiritual emperor?
As a result, the regained spiritual meridian got fuming mad at him, which was the last thing he wanted to happen in any way.
"Regained spiritual meridian, since you don't want to merge with the Heavenly Meridian, I shall take notice of your wishes and I won't force you to do so," Ricky said in a serious tone. "Forget about the Heavenly Meridian. It doesn't matter. It's merely a meridian. I might have lost my original spiritual meridian, but I still have managed to make so many achievements by myself with your help."
