Born Almighty Warrior
Chapter 375 Zenith's Confident Claim

Ricky's loud announcement echoed in the cave. At once, everyone held their breath as they wereovercome with shock. They all turned to stare at Ricky with wide eyes, not knowing how to react orwhat to say. As what he said settled in, their feelings of shock were replaced with buzzingexcitement.

The cave was completely engulfed in silence until Zenith burst out and said, "Good boy! That'sexactly what I've been expecting from you! You've made a fabulous decision!" He stretched out hisarm and pat Ricky heavily on his shoulder. Then he added, "Only ambitious men are qualified to bestrong warriors!

You are an amazing genius, so don't ever waste your clever brain. You must be ambitious enough togo ahead in the martial arts world. I'm more than pleased to hear this announcement! It proves thatyou have greatly laudable ambition! I'm so proud of you, boy!" Zenith could not help but smile ashe praised Ricky.

"Thank you for your support, Chief Zenith!" Ricky said. Then, he turned to the others. "Today, theMisty South Faction ceases to exist as the Misty South Palace comes into this world!" he said, histone full of confidence and determination.

"That is music to my ears, Ricky! Don't worry about the follow-ups. The other elders and I will takecare of them. We will run the Misty South Palace well! You can just concentrate on your cultivationand practice. Don't bother yourself about handling the affairs of the palace,” Elder Evan said with abright smile on his face.

"Yes, Elder Evan is right. Even though we are old and stiff, we still have the ability to manage apalace well. Ha-ha!" another elder echoed in agreement.

"Thank you very much. I'm deeply grateful for your support, elders,” Ricky replied gratefully as heslightly bowed his head towards everyone. He let out a sigh. Their supportive attitude was verymuch a relief to him.

Ricky had always been an ambitious man, and he wanted to do more than just establish the MistySouth Palace. he had always planned on turning his own organization into one of the top forces inthe world. That was why he tried to establish the Misty South Faction with such intensedetermination right from the very beginning. Now, being able to turn his faction into a palace wasan extremely important marker of progress.

But there was one thing that concerned him the most; he was afraid that he would have to spendtoo much time and energy maintaining and managing his organization. In that case, he would havea hard time concentrating on his cultivation. Zenith was just one negative example. He became soengaged managing the Snow Sect that he also became entangled in the power struggles. Ricky wasafraid that the same might happen to him.

So originally, his plan was to establish the larger force once he became much stronger.

But now that Elder Evan and all the other elders supported him and promised that they would bethe ones to take care of the Misty South Palace, it was like a huge weight had been lifted off hisshoulders. Finally, there was nothing for him to worry about anymore. He was now certain that hispalace would stand firm and have a place in the Snow Land with the help of six powerful demi-immortals.

What was more, Zenith, an innate spirit, stood behind him too. He was sure that Zenith would bereally helpful to him in handling many difficult situations.

In spite of all this, Ricky knew that it was still not time for him to rest easy. There was still muchweight on his shoulders. For one, he was afraid that the innate spirits from other places would cometo the Snow Land in order to take his spiritual space tool from him once they found out that he hadreturned. But now was not the time for him to share this concern with the others.

"Ha-ha! You see, we have six old men to help you with the business in Misty South Palace! However,we do not do charity, so you will have to pay us. How about this? When you grow stronger, replace usmore Treasures from Heaven and Earth to extend our lives. We are not innate spirits, you know, andsooner or later, we are going to pass away, unless we somehow replace a chance to become innatespirits. We want to live much longer in this world, you know? Ha-ha!" Elder Evan and other elderslaughed.

"Of course, elders! I will definitely do that. You have my words," Ricky replied in a sincere tone. "Ifpossible, I will replace the great opportunity that would help you become innate spiritual kings! I willtry my best to do that. You can count on me!"

"Oh, such sweet words! We are so pleased to hear that! Thank you so much. We look forward to theday when you finally bring us that chance," Elder Evan exclaimed with joy. The other elders alsoechoed his excitement. Ricky's sincere promise brought them happiness. They were glad to see thatRicky was indeed a grateful man. After all, it was always pleasing and rewarding to help those whowere grateful.

In hindsight, it did not really matter to them whether or not Ricky would succeed in his promise. Itwas enough for them that he was righteous enough to actually make the promise and mean it."Hey, are you still worried about those innate spiritual kings from other places?"

Zenith asked, the concern in his tone heavy. As an experienced innate spirit, he had the capability tosee through people, and he seemed to detect Ricky's worries through his eyes.

"Yes, Chief Zenith. You can always see through me. That's exactly what I'm concerned about themost for the time being. I just don't think they will give up easily and stop chasing after me. I stillhave the spiritual space tool, after all. It is what they are really after, and I'm sure that once they replaceout that I am already back here, they will definitely flood into the Snow Land. That's big troublewaiting to happen,” Ricky replied with furrowed eyebrows as he nodded.

"You can rest assured and not worry about it anymore. I will not have supported you in announcingthe establishment of the Misty South Palace if I cannot control everything, but now that I havenodded, that means that I have everything under control,” Zenith exclaimed with absoluteconfidence. "All you need to do next is to announce to the whole Realm of Wildness theestablishment of the Misty South Palace! Don't you worry about other things.”

Zenith's confident claim surprised everyone, including Ricky and Elder Evan. All of a sudden, theyfound themselves at a loss for words again. Of course, they trusted Zenith, but they were curiousbeings, and they had a lot of questions itching to be answered. Where did Chief Zenith get hisconfidence from?

Zenith knew why they had such reaction. He smiled mysteriously. "Before I was stuck in the King-slaughtering Array, I had already broken through my level and become a first class middle spiritualking," he explained. "I had thought then that it would take a long time before my nextbreakthrough.

However, while I was struggling and fighting in the King-slaughtering Array, I suddenly realizedsomething. I seemed to have achieved a major achievement in comprehending the enlighteningpower. Even though almost all of the disciples of the Snow Sect had betrayed me, somehow Isuddenly saw the light and felt very much enlightened

My mind has changed a lot, and I am sure that before long, I will be able to become an upperspiritual king - the strongest warrior in the Realm of Wildness!"

"Wh... What? Is that true? Are you sure you can break through and become an upper spiritual king?"Elder Evan and other elders stood up in shock at once upon hearing Zenith's explanation. Theirhands shivered with excitement and their voice trembled with delight. This was, by all means, thebest music to their ears

In the Realm of Wildness, lower spiritual kings were the strongest warriors in the martial arts, themiddle spiritual kings were the ones who ruled the realm, and the upper spiritual kings were literallythe most powerful warriors in the whole realm. The latter were the ones who controlled the Realmof Wildness.

In the Realm of Wildness, only the lord of the Imperial Palace of Wildness and the Shadow King ofthe Endless Shadow were upper spiritual kings so far. And thanks to their spiritual king level, theirorganizations, the Imperial Palace of Wildness and the Endless Shadow, were the two most powerfulforces in the Realm of Wildness.

If Zenith broke through and reached the upper spiritual king, then with his support, the Misty SouthPalace would become one of the most powerful forces, too. These elders were willing to supportZenith and leave the Snow Sect to follow him because they had faith that he would be able to reacha higher class. More than that, they also trusted Zenith and believed that once he became morepowerful, they would also get some benefits from him.

However, that was not the only reason. The primary, most important reason they had for supportingZenith was that they knew he was a righteous man. They had stayed with him and worked for him inthe Snow Sect for a long time, and they were more like family to each other than just friends.

"Yes, I'm sure I can!" Zenith replied. Then he turned to Ricky and said, "I'm sure that with me, whowill soon become an upper spiritual king, standing behind you, they would not dare to stir and forceyou to give them what they want.

Besides, currently, I think they are occupied with fighting over the fortune. By the time you comeback from the Fortune Land, I will have already become an upper spiritual king. By then, you will notneed to fear them at all anymore.

And, as far as I know, you will leave the Realm of Wildness after you finish your task in the FortuneLand, am I right? I know the Realm of Wildness is a small place for you. You belong to a biggerworld."

"You absolutely see through me, Chief Zenith!" Ricky shrugged his shoulders. It did not come as asurprise to him that Zenith already knew of his next plan of leaving the Realm of Wilderness.

"Ha-ha. You were trained in the Snow Sect once. I, of course, know you better than others," Zenithsaid before he burst into laughter.

Everything Zenith had said was true. However, there was one thing he did not know. Ricky oncefought against the Shadow King who was trying to steal his spiritual space tool from him.

That meant that if Ricky showed up, there was a high possibility that the Shadow King would comeafter him once again. Ricky knew that he must be paying close attention to the Shadow King all thetime.

'Well, obviously Chief Zenith has no idea what happened between the Shadow King and I. Hopefullythe mysterious axe in my body would frighten the old freak, so that he will not come to me.Otherwise, I will have to seek help from Doris, * Ricky murmured in his mind. The Shadow King wasalready a real upper spiritual king, after all. There was no way he would be scared of an upperspiritual king-to-be.

What was more, the Shadow King was a cruel, merciless killer. Ricky didn't think that Chief Zenithwas a match for such a vicious assassin for the time being.

However, he chose not to share this information with Zenith. If he did, Zenith would have beenaffected by it. He would be thinking about the Shadow King all the time and it would bruise hisconfidence. Ricky knew that this would have a negative impact and would harm his nextbreakthrough.

Breaking through into a higher level was extremely difficult, so the warriors must not be affected byanything subconsciously. If Ricky had told this information to Zenith, then Zenith would have had aburden in his mind.

Even the smallest impact from that information could make him lose control during the process ofbreaking through and increase the possibility that he would fail even more. It was the last thingRicky wanted to happen.

Yes, Doris! I will turn to Doris and ask her to stop the Shadow King and the lord of the ImperialPalace of Wildness if necessary! Chief Zenith could concentrate on his breakthrough!" Ricky wasdetermined not to disturb Zenith. The quicker Zenith managed to become an upper spiritual king,the better the situation would be.

"Chief Zenith! After you break through and become an upper spiritual king, will you considerrebuilding the Snow Sect?" Elder Evan asked calmly. Upon hearing this, the other elders also staredat Zenith with expectant eyes. They had now calmed down after gradually digesting the informationthat Zenith would soon become an upper spiritual king.
