"Scar, do you have any idea where I can go to improve my strength?" Ricky asked Scar hopefully. He strongly believed that Scar would know something favorable for him.
"Well, I'm not quite sure actually. Before the battle for the Sense of Realm, the Casting Center will hold a casting competition in the Eastern Land. I think that would probably be a good opportunity for you," Scar replied thoughtfully.
"The Casting Center? What is it?" Ricky asked curiously because he had never heard about the place before now.
"The Casting Center is an alignment of all the Casting Guilds in the whole Eastern Land. It is no exaggeration to say that the Casting Center is one of the most powerful forces in the Eastern Land. All the five chiefs of the Casting Center are casting masters of Demi-sage Level," Scar explained patiently.
"Cameron from the Oriental College is the fourth chief of it."
"Oh? I didn't know that he had another identity!" Ricky exclaimed. He should have known there was something more to that guy.
"The main reason why the Casting Center stands out among all the forces is that the first and second chiefs of the Casting Center are also spiritual emperors," Scar added.
"That makes sense. Only when one combines his power and casting skills can he be strong enough to bring honor to his organization," Ricky commented. "But truth be told, although I want to enhance my casting ability, I prefer to improve my strength for the time being."
"I have to tell you Ricky, you've got it all completely wrong," Scar interrupted, alarmed when he heard that Ricky was not interested in casting now.
"Those who will participate in the casting competition are all talented casting masters of their respective organizations. They are more powerful than any talent you have ever met. Why is that? That is because they practice utilizing runes and improve their strengths at the same time. You would make great progress if you have the chance to fight against them. Do you understand what I mean?" Scar scrutinized Ricky for a second before he continued, "What's more, I heard that the reward of the casting competition is exceptional. If you can get it, it will not be difficult for you to break through and become an upper spiritual king."
"Oh? Really? What is the reward? I'm starting to grow interested in it," Ricky asked.
"The rewards change each time. However, there is one thing that never changes. It's the Heaven Soul Stone!" Scar said as his eyes glinted involuntarily. There was a hint of desire in his eyes as he announced the prize.
"The Heaven Soul Stone? What is that? What is its effect?" Ricky asked, still clueless although he noticed that Scar seemed to value the prize highly.
"The Heaven Soul Stone is a Treasure from Heaven and Earth at the advanced King Level," Scar explained.
"What? A Treasure from Heaven and Earth at the advanced King Level?" Ricky repeated in surprise as his eyes widened when he realized how exceptional the prize truly was. It was no wonder why he was surprised and excited to hear it. Even a spiritual emperor would want to have a Treasure from Heaven and Earth at the advanced King Level.
"Yes. To be frank, the Heaven Soul Stone is as strong and valuable as a Treasure from Heaven and Earth at the Demi-saint Level!" Scar added excitedly, carried away by Ricky's enthusiastic reception of this information.
"Unbelievable! But why?" Ricky asked in disbelief.
"It is all because of its unique effect. Which part of a creature is the weakest part? Without any doubt, the soul! When a creature becomes a spiritual king, the soul begins to grow in his body," Scar explained to Ricky.
"Yes, I know about the story of the soul. The soul in my body is an incomplete one," Ricky stated.
"Yes. Only when one becomes a completed spiritual king could his soul grow to be a complete one. But it is also the weakest when it becomes a complete soul."
Scar then paused for a second. He seemed like he wanted to say more but had trouble finding the words. "It matters not if a warrior practices the cultivation method or casting skills. His ultimate powers come from the soul. Soul is the fundamental base of any innate spirit.
Once a warrior refines the Heaven Soul Stone, their soul would be more concrete. A middle spiritual king's soul would be able to reach the upper spiritual king level, an upper spiritual king's soul would reach the completed king level, and a completed spiritual king's soul would be close to the demi-spiritual emperor level. If a demi-spiritual emperor refines it, their power of the soul would soar.
Once the soul is enhanced, the creature would become more talented in both cultivation methods and casting skills.
So, if you can get the Heaven Soul Stone, your soul would be able to grow up to the upper spiritual king level. You are talented and it would be a piece of cake for you to become an upper spiritual king. You could probably manage it in just a few minutes," Scar said. He talked on and on with few pauses in between as if he wanted to teach Ricky everything he had ever heard. Scar did not stop until he told everything he knew about the Heaven Soul Stone.
"It seems that I must go to the Casting Center now," Ricky said as a determined fire burned in his eyes.
"Yes. Please go ahead. And don't worry, you will be safe there. Cameron has a good relationship with the first and second chiefs of the Casting Center. I'm sure the Luxurious Emperor of the Luxurious Chamber of Commerce would not dare hurt you when two chiefs have got your back," Scar said.
