"I don't know. I can't see anything even with my Golden Spirit Eyes," Ricky said quietly.
They did not find any passageway for other palaces. It was obvious that they were meant to come to this palace.
"I will try to have a look with the power of the Justice Saber Soul."
After this proclamation, Ricky burst out the Justice Saber Soul. Its power surged through the power barrier on the altar.
Buzz! After a few buzzes, the power barrier stopped reacting.
Ricky had a feeling that if he had not summoned the Justice Saber Soul's power, the power on the altar would have turned him into ashes.
"Congratulations, the owner of the Ultimate Justice Saber! You have won the ownership of the Ultimate Justice Saber in the competition!" Soar and Ricky tensed when the Holy Three-Saber's voice rang out suddenly.
The power on the altar surged and condensed into the shadow of a figure. Its head was marked with three sabers. Ricky and Soar looked at each other excitedly as they realized they were looking at the Holy Three-Saber.
"I'm Ricky! Nice to meet you, sir!"
"I'm Soar!
Nice to meet you, sir!" Ricky and Soar greeted him respectfully. No matter how talented Ricky and Soar were, they could only humble themselves in front of such a powerful master. Although they did not know which level of a holy being the Holy Three-Saber fell into, they knew that any holy being was above all the creatures from the continent.
As the deity approached, they could sense the presence of a mutant.
"You're a Great Dragon and an ace genius. I'm quite impressed by you two!" The Holy Three-Saber looked at Ricky and Soar with fondness in his eyes.
Although the heir of a strong warrior was generally decided by the god's will, every strong warrior hoped his heritage could be received by a top genius. Moreover, Ricky's and Soar's characters were superior to the others as they had shown in the trial of justice.
"What?" The Holy Three-Saber let out a shocked gasp when he saw Ricky.
He released a force that crawled around Ricky's body. His eyes that sparkled with condensed divine energy were widened in disbelief.
'Has he discovered the zones and the regained spiritual meridian in my body?' Ricky thought to himself, puzzled by the astonishment on the Holy Three-Saber's face.
Soar was equally confused.
"What's your name? Where are you from?" The Holy Three-Saber seemed to have forgotten their earlier introduction. Maybe he had not been paying attention until he sensed whatever he did from Ricky.
"I'm Ricky. I come from the Eastern Realm of Wildness on the continent of Misty South," Ricky replied.
"The continent?" The Holy Three-Saber became more confused.
"I dare not lie to you, sir," Ricky said quickly when he saw the confusion on the Holy Three-Saber's face. He didn't want to be doubted by such a strong warrior. Otherwise, he and Soar could be killed in the blink of an eye.
"But how could blood power like yours exist in the continent?" The Holy Three-Saber believed that Ricky would not lie to him. It seemed that Ricky did not know about the blood power in his body if the look of bewilderment on his face was a clue.
Any power in Ricky's body had nothing to do with his blood power, after all.
"My blood power?" Ricky was puzzled when he heard the Holy Three-Saber's question. What kind of blood power could he have? Why was the Holy Three-Saber surprised by his blood power?
The Holy Three-Saber recognized Soar as a Great Dragon at first glance. Instead of being surprised at the blood power of the Great Dragon, he was surprised at Ricky's blood power. This implied that Ricky's blood power was stronger than Soar's.
Ricky and Soar had no choice but to leave the topic alone rather than angering the holy being. They were curious but not enough to get themselves killed.
"Sir, I have a question. Have you died?" Ricky was curious about the story of the Holy Three-Saber and figured that it was the best time to ask since he had to shift the topic of conversation.
"I know you are looking for an heir to your heritage, but why did you separate the three sabers?"
"As a mutant, I don't know whether my real body is still alive or not. It is most likely dead. After all, my real body has not returned for countless years. As for the reason why the three sabers are to be inherited separately, allow me to explain from the beginning.
I'm a genius in saber skills and I have the Three-Saber Mutant. You know what the three sabers are. They are the justice saber skills, evil saber skills, and domineering saber skills.
Through my incomparable mutant and talent, I rose in the Celestial Land and became a holy being."
As he spoke, the Holy Three-Saber wore an arrogant and haughty expression.
He seemed to be reminiscing his glory days.
"I couldn't reach a higher level when I became a holy being at peak state because the creatures above the holy beings could cultivate only one divine supreme enlightenment. That is the will of heaven and earth which cannot be changed.
But I was born with the Three-Saber Mutant. I can't give up two sabers unless I'm revived in a new guise." The Holy Three-Saber's voice suddenly lowered. His eyes flashed in sorrow as he seemed to remember something he regretted.
"But I don't want to be revived in a new guise even if I have to die.
Therefore, it is my destiny that I can only be a holy being at peak state."
"Really?" Ricky and Soar said.
