CHAPTER 487 AN OPPORTUNITY FROM THE EMPEROR
Boom!
In the depths of that space, dozens of enlightening vortexes in the middle of the air stirred up strong
enlightening windstorms that permeated the whole area.
Meanwhile in the vicinity of those enlightening vortexes, funnel-like enlightening windstorms were
sweeping upwards. These storms were equally oozing the enlightening power.
At that moment, Ricky felt the two Wind Holes in his palms began to pop up as if they were about to
take in all the enlightening windstorms around him.
Ricky was completely focused on the enlightening vortexes at that point.
If he could refine all the enlightening power from the enlightening vortexes and store that power in his
zones, his force would be strengthened exponentially.
"Young master, it looks like these enlightening vortexes have nothing to do with you now." Ricky gave a
cold smile.
If he had not used the sisters for his own escape and gotten sucked in, the enlightening vortexes would
have belonged to him eventually.
Ricky had missed the fact that the young master would not be able to get into this place despite having
been sucked into the space rift.
The force of the enlightening windstorms was well beyond what a second-class lower spiritual king
could take.
'I hope that Soar doesn't think that I've been killed already!' Ricky thought to himself before he set out
to refine the enlightening vortexes.
"I thought you were a peerless genius beyond comparison, yet you only paid attention to these
enlightening windstorms. Maybe I was wrong about you." At that moment, a voice sounded in his head.
It sounded as if it came from an old man.
As old as it sounded, it struck Ricky's mind like a bomb. There was a great power instilled in each of
the words.
"Who is this?" Ricky asked, feeling incredulous and surprised.
He had an educated guess as to who the owner of this voice was after thinking for a moment. It could
only be the creator of the Small World he was in. It had to be a supreme emperor.
"I am the Oriental Emperor, and I am the creator of this Small World that you are currently in." The
voice spoke again.
"Master Oriental Emperor!" Ricky immediately deferred to him as his guess had just been validated.
The man was indeed a supreme emperor.
Anyone who made it to the rank of an emperor was no ordinary character. That was more than enough
to earn Ricky's respect.
"Spare me the groveling, you may simply address me as master," the Oriental Emperor said to him.
"Yes, master!" Ricky nodded while saluting him.
"I assume that you know why I am having this conversation with you, yes?"
"I reckon it may have something to do with the talent I have?" Ricky responded tentatively.
"You're not wrong. I am talking to you because you are indeed a peerless genius," the Oriental
Emperor continued, saying. "If you were an ordinary genius, I would not have stepped in to save your
life.
You may find my way of thinking as being too cruel or unfair, but this is the way the world of martial arts
works. Fairness is a luxury exclusively for the strong ones or geniuses. Of course, the strong ones can
choose to step up and uphold fairness for the good of the weaker warriors."
"I agree with you, master!" Ricky nodded.
He understood what the Oriental Emperor meant by that. The reason that the Oriental Emperor saved
his life was because he was a peerless genius.
Ricky displayed no displeasure because so many experiences had taught him that the weak would
never be able to get respect from the strong. That was a rule of thumb in the world of martial arts.
"Another good thing about you is your character, which I admire very much. I might just let you die back
there otherwise."
"Master, what is this place?" Ricky finally asked in confusion.
"This is where I started creating the Small World, and this is also the source of the enlightening power,"
the Oriental Emperor continued. "The reason that I brought you here is not so that you can refine the
enlightening vortex though."
Hearing what the Oriental Emperor said, Ricky immediately thought about the Wind Holes in both of his
palms.
"Master, are you talking about the Wind Holes in my palms?" Ricky asked curiously.
"Naturally. The Wind Holes in your palms are one of the reasons that I brought to the source of
enlightening power. I'm giving you an amazing opportunity here.
As for what you can achieve, that is entirely up to your own ability."
"Thank you, master!" Ricky grew excited when he heard that the Oriental Emperor was about to grant
him a special opportunity. No matter what kind of opportunity it was, even the most insignificant thing
was priceless to him if it came from an emperor.
"Jasper was here during the last trial and achieved something from the same opportunity being granted
to him. I am wondering what your achievements could be compared to those of his." The Oriental
Emperor looked at Ricky with expectation in his eyes.
Two peerless geniuses had appeared in his realm, which made him very excited despite his status as a
supreme emperor.
That was because even the strongest force in the Middle Land would take a peerless genius very
seriously. Peerless geniuses were rare and useful to have at your command.
"Jasper was here and he was blessed with your opportunity?" Ricky murmured to himself after hearing
what the Oriental Emperor said.
Jasper was a senior disciple of the Oriental College. Although Ricky had only met him once before
briefly, he would become excited upon hearing this name and a strong will to fight would shroud his
mind.
Ricky also had a weird feeling that Jasper would play an important role in his quest to unlock the
secrets of martial arts. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
'Jasper, I cannot wait to fight you, ' Ricky thought to himself with determination.
"Please take your opportunity from me using the two Wind Holes in your palms," the Oriental Emperor
further explained. "The power of enlightening windstorms is too strong for you, so I will help to bring it
down to a level that is suitable for you.
I will also lift the ruling power from it because its existence could impede your advancement for the
moment. You can get to that later."
"Thank you so much, master!" Ricky solemnly thanked the Oriental Emperor.
"You can only stay here for one month, then the rest is up to you."
"Master, I was wondering if you could kindly help me with something. A brother of mine is still out there.
So, would you kindly let him know that I am still alive, please?" Ricky carefully made a request.
He was worried that Soar would do something irrational because he didn't know that Ricky had
survived everything. It was really for the best to let him know.
"I will see what I can do," the Oriental Emperor replied kindly.
"Let me remind you that it is imperative that you learn how to control your emotion. Focus on what you
should do instead of fantasizing about something beyond your reach. That is for later when you
become more confident and capable."
Ricky was at a little bit of a loss. He had no clue as to why the Oriental Emperor said all that out of the
blue.
Ricky still nodded despite his confusion though.
He understood that the Oriental Emperor must have meant something important. He would have to
sleep on it and think about things before taking any action.
Then, Ricky could sense that the Oriental Emperor had left.
"The enlightening windstorm...I wonder how I can achieve it with the Wind Holes in my palms.
Hopefully I will not be let down in this," Ricky murmured to himself after the Oriental Emperor left while
looking at the sweeping enlightening windstorms around him.
