Born Almighty Warrior
Chapter 1036 Refining In The Spirit Pool

After that, Mason guided Ricky to the Spirit Pool in person.

Being a powerful pit of energy, the Spirit Pool was hidden inside the secret land of the Spirit Sect, forming an independent world. As soon as Ricky set foot into that world, he felt elated and said, "Wow, is this the fairyland? I think I'm going to fly! This is just so perfect!"

Undoubtedly, the reason behind his ecstatic feeling was due to the purest spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the purest ruling power that was inside that place.

Getting its shape in a natural way, the Spirit Pool was a giant square-shaped pool. Just like a hot spring, liquid full of essence spiritual energy surged out from the depths of the ground.

There, several streams flowed from the Spirit Pool, spreading the liquid of essence spiritual energy to the entire territory of Spirit Sect. Obviously, this was done so that the Spirit Sect could increase its spiritual energy, and its luck.

But what caught Ricky's attention more was the stone statues that were posted on the four sides of the Spirit Pool.

However, the more he stared at them, the more he felt that they weren't inanimate stone statues. In fact, he could vividly feel that these statues had once experienced to be alive.

"I see that you noticed these statues. Fun fact, all of them are predecessors of the Spirit Sect,” Mason said solemnly, as soon as he saw Ricky's confused eyes. "Before they died, they all poured all their power and comprehension into the Spirit Pool relentlessly. This is the reason why the Spirit Pool's elegant aura remains the same after ten thousand years.

Moreover, they have become the stone statues themselves! How great is that?"

"Oh, I see!" Ricky nodded and made a bow to these stone statues.

"Not only can the Spirit Pool increase the possibility of breaking through and becoming a spiritual emperor but also provide a warrior with the heritages of spiritual emperors. You can get them only if you're lucky enough,” Mason explained.

"Elder Mason, thank you, but I don't think I need the heritage,” Ricky replied with a smile on his face.

"Yeah, you are right. I almost forgot that you cultivate the chaotic power and have double mutants. You have risen as a strong and competitive warrior in the Eastern Land, so you must have your own way of cultivation. I'm afraid that the heritages of the spiritual emperor would only be a burden to you if you had them,” Mason said with a smile as he placed his hand on Ricky's shoulder.

"Let's go. We still have a lot of work to do. First, I'll escort you to the Spirit Pool so that you can cultivate there. Next, I will help you completely refine the Holy Fire Pill and absorb the spiritual energy in the Spirit Pool so that you can raise your realm to the demi-spiritual emperor.”

"Thank you very much!" Ricky expressed his appreciation.

Now that he had the help and guidance of a middle spiritual emperor, he would surely yield twice the expected result with exerting half the effort.

Meanwhile, Mason examined the Holy Fire Pill that Arthur had given him. Carefully, he scrutinized the pill just to make sure that it was not tampered.

Ricky, on the other hand, adjusted his breathing first as he tried his best to recuperate.

He needed to recover as much as he could due to the considerable damage that his body received thanks to the Intent Apperception from the Dragon Intent Grass.

After successfully recovering, he activated the Chaotic Fire Mutant. Soon after, he began to refine the Holy Fire Pill under Mason's guidance.

Carney improved his strength in a period of time by consuming the Holy Fire Pill and then used its energy as his own combat power. That was how the Holy Fire Pill worked. However, Ricky wanted to do it differently. He wanted to transform the immense energy of the Holy Fire Pill into his own realm by refining it.

Activating the Devouring Mutant, the Chaotic Fire Mutant, and all his flames, Ricky could agitate the energy of the Holy Fire Pill before he consumed it. At the same time, Mason's ruling power could help him a lot in transforming such energy directly into the energy that he needed to advance the realm.

Apart from that, Mason also helped Ricky in extracting the pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the Spirit Pool.

In that way, Ricky felt his realm continuous rise all the time.

Moreover, he also absorbed the martial arts comprehension in the Spirit Pool, which was beneficial for him in his realm's improvement.

As Ricky bathed in the Spirit Pool, the water in it invisibly refined his body, reviving and healing his body slowly in the process.

'Is this how the Spirit Pool works? Wow, it can surely improve me in all aspects. If this continues, then I will certainly reach the peak state of a completed spiritual king in only a month!" Ricky thought excitedly.

Meanwhile, things turned out the way he expected them to be, and his cultivation realm finally reached the peak state of a completed spiritual king in just a month.

Soon after, he spent several more days to unify the realm that he had just reached.

"Great! Just as planned, you have reached the peak state of a completed spiritual king within a month!” Mason congratulated Ricky out of happiness. "You have completely refined the Holy Fire Pill. I believe you must have a deeper understanding of fire now."

"Thank you very much. I could not have done it without your help." Ricky once again expressed his gratitude to Mason

"After this, you are going to make a breakthrough. Are you familiar with the path in becoming a demi-spiritual emperor?” Mason inquired.

"A spiritual king's enlightening power involves cultivating a kind of power to its extreme. But even so, such power still doesn't belong to the spiritual king. Instead, the power comes from heaven and earth,” Ricky said after thinking carefully.

"A demi-spiritual emperor has to turn such extreme power into his own power, making it a process from a spiritual king to a spiritual emperor.

A spiritual king only uses the power of heaven and earth, while a spiritual emperor transforms the power of heaven and earth into his own power before using it. Clearly, there is a big difference between the two approaches, because a spiritual king can only give play to half of such power at the most, but a spiritual emperor can make a full use of such power.

Aside from that, a spiritual emperor can use the transformed power however he wishes. After all, now that he has already transformed the power, it belongs to him now.

Perhaps that's why a demi-spiritual emperor can create his own Small World."

"You're right. The concept of the so-called rule and the so-called spiritual emperor includes turning all the power that doesn't belong to him into his own. Only when he possessed such power could the power belong to him eternally.” Mason praised him and gave him a pat on the back upon hearing Ricky's insight about the matter.

"Moreover, a spiritual king's body would still dissipate sooner or later without the interference of any external force after he dies regardless of his strength. However, a spiritual emperor is different, for he can exist permanently. This is because the power of heaven and earth is the spiritual emperor's own power. After all, the spiritual emperors have been integrated with heaven and earth already.

The demi-spiritual emperor's state is the turning point during the process of modification between the two.

Therefore, as a cultivating demi-spiritual emperor, you should begin to go through the process of transformation of the power of heaven and earth into your own power. Only after going through such a process will you be able to understand the ruling power."

"I see, Elder Mason.” Ricky smiled and nodded.

"But I don't want to make a breakthrough so soon. What I want to do now is to have my breakthrough done during a battle. And I think that it is what's best for me at this time.”

"Ha-ha, you know what? You're the only one who dares to talk about a breakthrough in battle!" Mason commented while laughing out loud.

At that moment, he knew better than persuade Ricky to change his mind. Instead, he became supportive of him, because an ace genius’ path of martial arts was absolutely different from that of anybody else.

Seeing Ricky's absolute plan, Mason thought that maybe some of Ricky's previous breakthroughs had happened during battles. Perhaps that was why he was so sure of what he had wanted to happen.

"Elder Mason, thank you for helping me this past month. Now it's time for me to go out. Just like what they say, fighting is always the best way to make the fastest progress," Ricky said as he lowered his head.

"Ha-ha, all right. I think it's time to move forward and meet your partner,” Mason said and shook Ricky's hands.

"But, Ricky, before that, I've been meaning to ask you something.”

"Please go ahead," Ricky said in a mellow tone.

"Back when I was helping you improve your realm, I felt array power in your soul. Have you, by any chance, obtained the heritage of arrays?"
