CHAPTER 438 GETTING THE SOURCE OF GOLDEN BODY BEFORE THE FORTUNE LAND CLOSED
During his last days in the Fortune Land, the only thing on Ricky's mind was getting the Source of
Golden Body. From his point of view, he was meant to practice the Ultimate Golden Body since he
already owned the Massacring Zone. He believed that, with the help of the Massacring Zone, it would
only be a matter of time before he could learn this cultivation method.
But in order to master it, he must first make sure to find a suitable Source of Golden Body for himself.
The Source of Golden Body was to serve as the foundation for his cultivation, and was the key to his
mastery of that particular method.
"Now let's see… Which one of my treasures is qualified for this job?" Ricky thought hard as he went
over in his mind all of the things he now owned.
The first thing he ruled out was the Massacring Soil. There was no doubt that he thought of himself as
a lucky man, but he was also well aware that when it came to practicing skills, he could not count on
luck at all. He still needed to work extremely hard if he wished to achieve more.
"How about some Treasures from Heaven and Earth or spiritual weapons that have the golden power?
Oh, wait, I don't have those kinds of things!" Ricky said to himself in disappointment.
"As of right now, the only thing I have that contains the golden power is the Massacring Zone. Would it
be possible for me to turn it into my Source of Golden Body?" Ricky now turned his attention to the
Massacring Zone.
In all actuality, the Massacring Zone could work as a kind of spiritual weapon. The reason Ricky was
hesitant was because he could not hold it in his hand the way he would hold other weapons.
But for some reason, he had a feeling that the Massacring Zone was a better option than the
Massacring Soil for being the Source of Golden Body.
Come to think of it, the reason why the Fortune Elder said that the Massacring Soil could make the best
Source of Golden Body was because it was the hardest kind of soil in this world. More than that, it also
contained the most powerful massacring power.
Now as Ricky pondered more over the matter, he realized that the Massacring Zone was the actual
source of the massacring power. If so, then wouldn't it be a much better choice for making a good
Source of Golden Body?
Ricky became really excited at the thought. "If I succeed in turning the Massacring Zone into my
Source of Golden Body, then no one will be more qualified than me to cultivate the Ultimate Golden
Body," he murmured in delight. "Thank you so much, Fortune Elder. You truly have given me a
wonderful opportunity in becoming stronger!" Ricky could barely contain his excitement.
But of course, he was well aware that he should not count his chicken before they were actually
hatched. First and foremost, he had to make sure that the Massacring Zone was the right material for
making the Source of Golden Body.
He paused for a moment, then, without hesitation, he took a deep breath and instantly got down to
transforming his Massacring Zone.
The Massacring Zone was literally endless, so it was impossible for Ricky to turn the entirety of it into
the Source of Golden Body. It was unnecessary, either. He only needed to take a small part of it for his
work.
As he integrated his mind into the Massacring Zone, Ricky activated his Massacring Skill. Then, a
portion of the zone was divided by his massacring runes. He then adjusted the separated zone and
channeled as much massacring power as the little space could take. In no time, the separated zone
was filled with thick energy.
Once the purest massacring power had blended in with the massacring runes, Ricky tried to use the
indicated skill for creating the Source Golden Body in the Ultimate Golden Body method. In that
moment, he was completely immersed in the cultivation.
To begin with, he had to direct all the massacring power to the center of the separated zone. So with
the massacring runes as the passage, he gathered all the massacring power and kept sending it to the
very center of the little space. Of course, it also went without saying that the massacring power had
now been enhanced by the massacring runes.
As the massacring power converged, it slowly started to materialize. Soon enough, a little golden figure
was formed in the middle of the separated zone.
The figure that had emerged was the original form of the Source of Golden Body that Ricky was going
to make. It looked simple, but it was quite complete for now.
Having done the first step without difficulty, Ricky felt rather positive about his cultivation. He believed
that after he had combined the massacring runes with the massacring power, he could make a more
powerful and invincible Source of Golden Body.
To make his work better, he drew a drop of his blood essence using the regained spiritual meridian, and
dropped it into the Massacring Zone as well. Even though the Fortune Land would usually isolate itself
to prevent things from intruding and moving through different spaces, Ricky was able to come up with a
solution. Since his three zones were created from his regained spiritual meridian, he could use it as the
connecting band that would enable him to put his blood essence into one of his zones.
Since he was now forming his own Source of Golden Body, he wanted to nurture it with his own blood
essence in the hopes that he would be able to make the Source of Golden Body more compatible with
him. If the source were to reject him in the future, then things would be harder for him once he actually
tried to cultivate his Ultimate Golden Body. Therefore, laying a solid foundation was immensely critical
in that moment.
Suddenly, he heard a buzz in his zone.
It was the little golden figure. It seemed to have been strengthened upon drinking up Ricky's blood
essence. Merely seconds ago, it had just taken shape, but now, it had started to vibrate actively--as if it
had been brought to life and become a lively little child.
At the same time, as the blood essence fused with the little figure, Ricky began gradually feeling a
connection between it and himself. Whenever he pushed his mind to give instructions, the little golden
figure would follow and move as he wished. It felt as if it would melt into him immediately if he wanted it
to.
"Now, let's consolidate it and finish the work," Ricky said to himself upon seeing that the blood essence
had completely merged into the little figure.
Without wasting any time, he continued to gather up the massacring power and the massacring runes,
and poured them onto the figure.
Slowly but surely, the little golden figure became more and more clear and materialized.
The whole process lasted for about ten days. By the end of the cultivation, the little golden figure had
completely taken up its shape. It looked like a small toy now in spite of it actually being a reinforced
combination of pure massacring power and the massacring runes.
While it might be an exaggeration, Ricky could now sense that the golden figure, though very small,
was actually extremely sturdy and all-conquering. He was willing to bet that there were not a lot of
things in the world that would be able to leave a scratch on it.
Now that he had gotten his Source of Golden Body, he couldn't wait to cultivate and gain the Ultimate
Golden Body, starting from its first stage.
He settled down, controlled the little golden figure with his mind and expanded it until it was one meter
long. Then, the next instant, he let it enter his body, and they became one. A rush came over him, and
he was wrapped up in golden light. The Source of Golden Body had formed a golden shield for Ricky.
As amazing as it would be to say that he was able to create the first level of the Ultimate Golden Body
on his first try, his first try sadly turned out to be as fragile as a bubble.
According to the cultivation method, a warrior would be able to crush a middle stage spiritual tool with
his bare hands after he had reached the first level of Ultimate Golden Body. That meant that his body
should have the same strength as a middle stage spiritual tool by then. However, Ricky knew very well
that the shield covering him was not strong enough at all.
'I don't think I would dare to fight against a middle stage spiritual tool unarmed. It looks like I still have a
long way to go before I can finish the first level, ' Ricky thought as he shook his head in dismay.
Keeping in mind how haste makes waste, Ricky decided that he would cultivate this skill step by step
and started again before everything was ready. He pulled the Source of Golden Body out and sent it
back to the Massacring Zone. He would let the little figure go on to absorb the massacring power and
the massacring runes until it was time for him to restart the cultivation.
'But at least I was right about one thing. Using only a small part of the Massacring Zone to make the
Source of Golden Body proved to be a good idea. Not only have I got the source, I am also able to
keep a large portion of the zone which can serve as a perfect place for the source to grow itself, ' Ricky
thought, satisfied by what he had done so far.
Then, he suddenly realized that in order to boost the process of reaching the first level of Ultimate
Golden Body, he still needed some Treasures from Heaven and Earth that contained the massacring
power. After all, the massacring power in his Massacring Zone was limited, so he had to obtain extra
energy for strengthening his source and body. .
Three months went quickly by as Ricky concentrated on cultivating the Ultimate Golden Body. Now, the
Fortune Rain within the Fortune Pond had already stopped, and all the warriors and beasts had woken
up one after the other.
All of them were radiant with joy. From the excitement on their faces, it was extremely apparent that
they were all able to achieve a lot thanks to the Fortune Rain.
Soon after that, the competition platform disappeared, and the thick cloud of fortune lifted. Then,
everyone found themselves standing on the Fortune Land, where they had set their feet on once again.
It was obvious that the ultimate dragon meridian had gone, too.
All of the living creatures there witnessed the great change in the Fortune Land. Now that all of the
fortune, together with the white fog it created, had dissipated, the whole Fortune Land looked almost
the same as the outside world. It was as if it had never even existed in the first place.
"It appears that the Fortune Rain was actually consuming the fortune in this Fortune Land. It's been
three months, so I guess that the fortune here has run out by now," Hoffman said as he continued
investigating their constantly changing surroundings.
"The Fortune Land only opens every hundred years, and this time, the centennial scramble for this
fortune is coming to an end," Ricky replied with a touch of sadness.
"Well, time to say goodbye, dude!" Hoffman changed the topic in an effort to lighten up the atmosphere.
"Let's get together sometime and have a drink after we get out of here, alright?" he said with a big
smile.
"You have my word, friend. I hope we can meet each other soon." Ricky nodded as he smiled back at
Hoffman.
To a great extent, Ricky's words were nothing more than a polite thing to say. He did want to meet with
Hoffman again, but the problem was that he was going to leave the Realm of Wildness soon after
getting out of the Fortune Land. Thus, that moment might actually be their last farewell. He cherished
their friendship greatly even though they had only met each other. Still, he had an ambition to see the
bigger world.
At this thought, Ricky turned to look at Kristen and Tyson. Suddenly, he felt reluctant to part with the
two of them.
He knew that they would also feel terribly sad if they knew that he was going to leave soon, so he Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
decided not to tell them. He thought it would be easier for them if he just went without saying goodbye
when the time came.
"Ricky, is everything okay?" In that moment, Elder Evan and the others also approached Ricky. The
excitement etched on their faces suggested that they were also able to make big progress in the past
three months.
"By the way, where is Grace? Have you seen her?" Elder Evan and his men asked after greeting each
other. They realized that Grace was nowhere to be found.
"Err...she has been sent out already," Ricky said, lowering his voice a bit. He then told them the whole
story word for word.
"Really? That little girl is always so quick! I knew that she would be a step ahead of us, but this is still a
pretty hard pill to swallow!" Elder Evan and the others exclaimed jokingly upon hearing Ricky's words.
