The legendary warrior

Chapter 1433 Leilani's Request

"You can't continue cultivating like this. At this rate, you will take most of the fortune of the Helian Clan's ancestral land in three months. The original energy in an ancestral land has to be kept within a certain range or the ancestral land will eventually deteriorate, causing the race's fortune to decrease as well.

I'm sure you're aware of that.

After all, more top warriors and excellent casting masters would pop up like mushrooms if the ancestral land's original energy were infinite.

Don't forget that you're in my debt. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been able to enter here, work on your holy runes and reinforce your casting level," Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

the Casting Ladder firmly reminded Ricky when the latter tried to play dumb.

"Sir, so it is you who just spoke behind my back," Ricky started.

'I'm sure the Casting Ladder stepped in for me because I doubt the senior members of the Helian Clan would ever allow me to cultivate in their ancestral land...' Ricky continued to reflect inside his mind.

He looked at the Casting Ladder with gratefulness and continued, "Thank you very much, sir. I appreciate it."

"If you really want to thank me, prove it!" the ladder challenged him in return.

"Ha-ha! All right, I won't absorb more original energy of casting. You have my word on that," Ricky finally relented with a smile. The Casting Ladder was right. He was well aware of the importance of the original energy to every ancestral land. The matter was serious enough that the Casting Ladder wouldn't hesitate to throw him out if he kept absorbing the original energy of casting here.

"But sir, I earned the opportunity to cultivate here and that is part of it. Since I am to stop, I can't enjoy my privilege fully, so I hope you'll compensate me.

Perhaps, you can at least give me some advice in casting in the next few days," Ricky said, trying to negotiate.

"Young man, you..." The Casting Ladder was left speechless.

But, in the end, it accepted Ricky's request for the sake of his talent in casting. It wanted to win him over and didn't want to get on his bad side.

For the next two and a half months, Ricky rapidly progressed in casting and acquired a better understanding of the Ancestor Divine Manual under the guidance of the Casting Ladder.

Once he was done cultivating in the Helian Clan's ancestral land, Ricky headed back to the Misty South Palace with Amelia and Olaf.

But before he went on his way, Ricky made sure to take an enormous amount of Treasures from Heaven and Earth and Heaven Soul Stones from the Helian Clan's treasure house.

To Ricky's surprise, Kolton had waited for him after the casting competition concluded to make sure he was safe. According to Kolton, Ricky was more important to the Misty South Palace than he was.

Meanwhile, the whole Middle Land had heard about the result of the Helian Clan's casting contest.

That meant Ricky was the talk of the town once again, and he gained more acclaim due to his talent in both martial arts and casting.

All the people recognized him now as the number one casting genius in the Misty South.

Of course, that came with its pros and cons.

On the one hand, those forces who were after Ricky finally gave up after the news reached them. However, some forces that wanted Ricky dead became more incensed and desperate to get rid of him.

They sent even more men to get him because Ricky's talent and rapid progress threatened them.

Countless casting forces had sent their representatives to wait for Ricky. They had one goal in mind: get Ricky on their side at all costs.

Ricky had no choice but to join the Casting Guild just to get them off his back.

As soon as he arrived at the Misty South Palace, the senior members of the Misty South Palace welcomed him back and generously rewarded him with an abundance of cultivation resources. They even declared him as a special casting master of the Misty South Palace.

It was evident that the Misty South Palace attached so much importance to him because he had the aptitude to become a casting master at the Demi-divine Level.

At this point, Ricky had so many cultivation resources that he could cultivate in the Misty South Palace's four cultivation places to improve his cultivation level or casting level for a long time. However, that wouldn't be a good idea for him.

Ricky intended to toughen himself up through more rigorous practice.

That was because he planned to enter the Passage World in the Third Sheol City and take on the devils.

After all, fighting against the creatures from the devil race was the real battle of life and death.

But before he could set his plans into motion, Leilani paid him a visit on the third day of his return.

Before this day, he had only met the woman once.

Leilani was a genius of the Seven-tailed Fox tribe, and, more importantly, she was the holy daughter of their tribe. She used to be one of the top ten geniuses in the outer region.

Like him, she had passed the Misty South Palace's selection and became their disciple. But she returned to the Seven-tailed Fox tribe immediately afterward and cultivated there.

This unexpected visit took Ricky by surprise because they had only met once, so he couldn't think of any reason she would want to see him. They weren't even friends.

"Miss Leilani, I didn't think you cared enough about me that you even came all the way here to see me," Ricky joked as he greeted her.

"What's the matter? Am I not welcome here?" Leilani responded in an equally droll tone.

"Ha-ha! Don't get me wrong. Gorgeous women like you are always welcome here. Besides, there's no way I can refuse a beauty like you. I'll even give you my life if you asked for it," added Ricky playfully.

Hearing this, Amelia rolled her eyes at him.

"Wow, I doubt anyone would believe that an ace genius in both martial arts and casting would joke like that," replied Leilani with a polite smile.

After exchanging pleasantries, they eventually got down to business.

Leilani started, "If you'd like, you can just call me Leilani. A remarkable genius like you shouldn't debase yourself by treating me so highly. Anyway, I came here to ask you for a favor."

"I'm all ears!" Ricky nodded expectantly, encouraging her to talk.

"Do you know about the Legendary Beast Region?" Leilani asked first before getting to the point.

"Of course! How can I not know that? Only powerful creatures reside there, and most of the legendary beasts' descendants dwell there. In fact, that's how it got its name.

Ricky conveyed lengthily.

"Well, I intend to go there, and I'd like to ask you to accompany me," she said with a pleading look.

"What exactly do you want me to do?" he asked.

"You see, the Legendary Beast Tomb is about to open," she began before pausing, licking her lips tensely.

"What do you mean?" Ricky prompted her again since he was still confused about what she wanted.

Although he knew about the place, he had never heard of it opening before.

"Oh, I see. That means another bloody storm will start among geniuses in the Legendary Beast Region," Wayne chimed in at this moment.

"Most powerful ancient beasts are buried in the Legendary Beast Tomb. It is an independent world that hovers separately beside the continent. Every once in a while, the Legendary Beast Tomb floats closer to the Legendary Beast Region and that creates a connection similar to the ancient battlefield.

It's a place where the strong ancient legendary beasts had fallen, which means that every inch of the Legendary Beast Tomb had been soaked in their blood. You can just imagine how amazing that place is. There must be more Treasures from Heaven and Earth in the Legendary Beast Tomb than anywhere else.

The most enticing part is the benefit you can gain, such as the inheritances and blood essences of the legendary beasts buried in there.

After all, the blood essence of a legendary beast can enhance not only the blood power of beasts but of humans as well,"

Wayne clarified for Ricky.

"Now, I understand! I can't wait to see this Legendary Beast Tomb for myself..." Ricky nodded thoughtfully when he finally absorbed everything they told him.
