Gorden stopped being mysterious. As he flipped his palm, a dark gray stone with the size of a human head appeared on his palm.
"Is this the Heaven Soul Stone?" All the warriors gasped with their eyes wide open as they stared at the stone.
'It's the Heaven Soul Stone!' Ricky exclaimed inwardly, feeling the immense excitement in his heart. He was more excited than all the other warriors as he glued his eyes on the Heaven Soul Stone. He was so ecstatic that his eyes almost transformed into Golden Spirit Eyes.
The moment the Heaven Soul Stone appeared, all of them could feel a strong breath of life. But the breath of life was different from the ordinary ones that they had normally encountered in the past. It was more profound and special. Its extraordinary nature indicated that the Heaven Soul Stone had obtained a thick and intricate layer of spiritual power.
All of a sudden, all the warriors within the area felt as though they had entered the Soul Tower. A massive soul sphere formed around them. The spiritual power inside was even stronger than the one that was on the fifth floor of the Soul Tower.
They could feel their spiritual power increasing at a constant rate.
"Here you go. This is the Heaven Soul Stone. I believe, with this Heaven Soul Stone, your casting realm and casting level will greatly be improved," Gorden told Ricky confidently as he passed the Heaven Soul Stone over to Ricky. A trace of reluctance flashed in his old eyes. He wouldn't admit it himself, but a small part of him was unwilling to pass it on to Ricky.
The Casting Center did not have many treasures that were as valuable as the Heaven Soul Stone. Thus, it was pretty understandable that Gorden would show some hesitation to entrust such a prized possession to someone else. However, he thought it would be worth it if it meant that he could hand such a powerful item over to an ace genius who was talented at both casting and martial arts. That alone was already a promising exchange and opportunity in itself.
Ricky did not refuse Gorden's wonderful offer. He directly accepted the Heaven Soul Stone and immediately put it into his zone.
Although he wanted to have a closer look at the Heaven Soul Stone, he was well aware that this was not a good place for him to do it, especially with everyone else's eyes watching intently.
"Thank you so much, sir!" Ricky couldn't help but express his gratitude a second time.
With the Heaven Soul Stone now in his possession, along with all the other powerful secret weapons he kept in his arsenal, Ricky no longer felt intimidated by the impending battle for the Sense of Realm.
"You don't need to thank me. You earned it with your own strength and that's why you deserve it," Gorden stated, matter-of-factly.
"Now, I'd like to ask you something. Would you like to join the Casting Center as a new and official member?" Gorden queried.
"What?" The rest of the warriors couldn't believe their ears. "Gorden is inviting Ricky to join the Casting Center?" They all tried to collect themselves immediately after the shocking turn of events.
Gorden's offer was also beyond Cameron's and Harrison's expectations.
It had been years since Todd, the first chief, made his appearance in the Casting Center. Gorden was the second chief of the Casting Center. As a matter of fact, it was Gorden who had been taking care of everything in the Casting Center all these years. Thus, when Gorden offered to invite Ricky to join the Casting Center, everyone realized just how much the Casting Center valued Ricky.
Even Sellers, the third chief, could not behave inappropriately while in the presence of Gorden. Sellers would only be able to take charge of the Casting Center when Gorden was not around. At the very least, he would never dare control everything in Gorden's presence, despite having earned the support of most spiritual emperors.
Gorden personally inviting Ricky was a testament that he had already affirmed Ricky's strength. He was implying to the rest of the world that Ricky was his man. With Gorden's affirmation and support, no one would dare cross Ricky.
"It seems that, whether or not Ricky will make greater achievements in the future, none of us could afford to challenge him anyway," some warriors muttered to each other with much dismay using their internal powers.
"At least, you and I could not afford to offend him. Let's just give up. I don't think there is even an ounce of chance that we can take the Heaven Soul Stone from him. Attempting to rob it from Ricky would only make us first in line to die miserably."
"Yes, he has the Oriental College and the Casting Center supporting him from behind. The two organizations are probably the most powerful ones in the entire Eastern Land."
Even Ricky was also a little surprised himself. He had not expected Gorden to invite him to join the Casting Center in person.
