"Sir, are you familiar with the Sealed Land?" Mordechai's father asked Ricky sincerely.
"Sir, Mordechai and I come from the same sect. I hope you don't mind, but please, just call me Ricky from now on," Ricky replied. "Well, I know a thing or two about the Sealed Land."
"Then you must know that when creatures in the Sealed Land reach a certain level, they could no longer break through to a higher level," Mordechai's father mentioned.
"I see. In that sense, one can at most become a two-star lower spiritual emperor here, right?" Ricky said with a slight frown.
"Yes. And I am aware that you can now challenge warriors stronger than you. Aren't you now already a two-star lower spiritual emperor?" Mordechai's father asked.
"Yes, sir!" Ricky nodded his head.
As soon as Ricky said his words, everyone fell silent.
That was because, at that point, they all felt the hopelessness creep through their spines.
'This will be the end of us. Does this mean that we'll stay in Ricky's supreme weapon forever? I don't think that Devil Flood Dragon would ever leave his post near the rift. Who could blame him? If we were in his shoes, we would do the same. But what should we do now?' everyone in the Devourer Zone thought to themselves dejectedly.
As everyone was in despair, the Devil Flood Dragon's voice echoed across the entire Sealed Land,
"Lowly humans, it would be impossible for you to pass through this rift.
I will stay here and wait for our kind. When the day comes, we will get out of here and seize the continent again."
"Is there any other way around this, sir?" Ricky asked again, unwilling to accept the daunting fact.
"I...I'm afraid that I can't think of any plan!" Mordechai's father replied frustratingly.
"Tell me, father. What happened to our ancestral land? Why won't you let me enter it? And besides, the primitive cultivation methods of the Ultimate Golden Body and our Sorcerous Combat Body are inside it," Mordechai cut in sharply.
Upon hearing his statement, Ricky suddenly became curious. For so long, he wanted to get his hands on the primitive cultivation method of the Ultimate Golden Body.
"In that case, then, I have to tell you the truth," Mordechai's father said with a deep sigh.
"Our patriarch was the one who sealed us. However, no one really knew why he did this.
After trapping us here, he entered our ancestral land with all the strong warriors at the Divine Level and the Emperor Level from our tribe. Then, he set up some restrictions to prevent others from approaching the ancestral land. And from the moment they got inside, none of them had come out.
The restrictions on our ancestral land disappeared several eras ago. At that time, the strongest among us were only two-star lower spiritual emperors because we were stuck in the Sealed Land.
As far as I know, more than ten elders had entered the ancestral land, but only one of them got out. But when we found him, he had completely mad. There was never a day when we saw him not paranoid and scared. Not long after, he died.
That's why the elders in our tribe ordered us to stay away from our ancestral land as much as possible," Mordechai's father explained briefly.
"I see! Now, it makes sense. Thank you for telling me this, father," Mordechai said as he furrowed his eyebrows.
"But if we can't get our hands on the primitive cultivation method of the Sorcerous Combat Body, we will not be able to rise again even if we could get the chance to get out of here," he added.
"That's right. Without the primitive cultivation method of the Sorcerous Combat Body, it's impossible for us to rise again even if we can find our way out of here," Mordechai's father said and nodded.
"So, father, now that you have mentioned this, please tell us where to find our ancestral land. I want to try my luck there," Mordechai pleaded seriously as he looked his father straight in the eye.
"I suppose that I won't stop you anymore since you have already made up your mind," Mordechai's father answered.
He did his best to prevent his son from going to their ancestral land. However, it seemed that he had no other choice but to give in to his son's plea, especially in their current situation. Surely, they would rather die than hide in the Devourer Zone for the rest of their lives.
