Chapter 305 The Celestial Flower


    "I know what you''re driving at, but I''m afraid this is not going to work, Ricky! I can''t extract the devil


    essence from every devil beast." Soar shook his head solemnly. Hepletely understood what Ricky


    was trying to say. But his absurd proposal left him no choice but to decline. Not every devil beast


    contained the devil essence in theory.


    Feeling that Ricky must feel extremely disappointed with his answer, he tried exining further. "I


    managed to extract the devil essence from this panther because it had the blood of the holy beat


    running in its body. Otherwise, I wouldn''t have seeded in doing so. I''m sorry," he muttered, hoping


    his statement would ease Ricky''s frustration.


    "I see. You don''t have to apologize," Ricky reassured. "You''ve done more than enough. The devil


    essence you gathered for me is such a precious gift. I am extremely grateful for all your work," Ricky


    assured. He was a reasonable being. He knew when to appreciate those who were there for him when


    he needed them.

    "Don''t keep thanking me. That''s so distant. You have helped me a lot too. Remember the droplet


    containing the blood essence of the Great Dragon? You gave the ny percent of its energy to me!"


    Soar guffawed.


    "Ha-ha! Yes! I help you, you help me!" Ricky quipped. The two burst intoughter.


    ''I won''t be alone on the way to be stronger.'' Ricky smiled to himself. Having Soar beside him


    made the burdens in his life a whole lot easier to carry. Before Soar came to this world, he felt like he


    was always alone. He made a few friends here and there, but the loneliness never left him. But now,


    thanks to Soar, he had a friend who came as freely as birdsong and brought out the dance in his soul.


    They would help and support each other to the end.


    They started with their primary goal: searching for the great chance of bing an innate spiritual


    king. This was not an easy task. They had to be iron-willed to find an answer. Many warriors had been


    searching for this chance too. Most of them gave up when they could not see any hope.


    But Ricky was different. He was not one to falter in the face adversity. Perseverance was one of his


    distinctive characters. They were now outside the mysterious area. Beneath where they were situated


    was a piece of ground of an ancient battlefield. Ricky was starting to doubt the authenticity of the so-


    called chance. For the past few days, they spent their time searching in many ces. However, no


    matter where they went, the Bronze Key made no response at all, which made him more suspicious.


    Ricky was starting to get frustrated. No matter how patient he was, there was still a limit to his temper.


    Yet, he suppressed his exasperation. ''We did not find any trace of the chance. Perhaps the chance


    doesn''t exist at all. But the rumor about this chance has been spreading over thend for more than ten


    years. It doesn''t make sense if it''s not real. Maybe I shall keep looking for it!'' Ricky argued with himself


    with furrowed brows. They already spent a lot time looking for the chance. It''d be waste to give up now.


    Why was the origin of the Bronze Key had something to do with the blood essence of the Great


    Dragon? And where did the Skeleton Dragone from? Questions surged into Ricky''s mind. Soon,


    his brain was filled with unsolved problems.


    He rubbed his forehead as he felt his frustrations welling up once more. But he shook his head to keep


    himself focused.


    ''Maybe I should ask Tina to tell me more about the Bronze Key before Ie here next time. She must


    know more details, '' Ricky thought, his face reflective.


    ...


    For the next few days, Ricky and Soar kept moving forward. Finally, they decided to stop for a while to


    get some rest and refresh themselves before they set off to search for Kristen and others. They thought


    that joining up with the rest would be a good idea since they had no progress searching.


    They found a small hill where they could rest up for a while. Ricky collected some dead branches and


    fired them up. Then they began to barbecue their food - the devil beasts he had hunted these days.


    Ricky was expecting the food to taste a little off but to their surprise, they both liked the taste of the


    devil beasts.


    These devil beasts possessed the body of the devil. The food made from stronger bodies tended to


    work up the warriors'' appetite.


    But every rule had an exception. Ricky and Soar could consume the devil''s bodies because they were


    protected by the Heaven Melting Fire. With this, they could not be invaded by the evil spirit from the


    flesh of those demon bodies. Any other warrior would immediately have their life extinguished. One bite


    would be overwhelming, and they would go insane.


    Ricky and Soar enjoyed the meat and spent their time happily gobbling down their food. After they


    finished, their eyes locked into each other and shone with excitement. Both of them sensed that a


    familiar smell was rushing towards them.


    "It''s Tyson!" They shouted in unison.


    Ricky felt tion from head to toes. They hurriedly stood up and dusted themselves and ran to the


    direction where the smell was from. Soon, they saw Tyson''s familiar figure show up in their sight.


    Their excitement immediately came into a halt when they saw him. His clothes were ragged, his hair


    disheveled, and his body covered with blood.


    "Russell! Is that you? Thank god! Come and help me. Those guys are chasing me all day and night!"


    Tyson''s voice was frantic. His emotions were mixed with delight from seeing Ricky and his sense of


    panic from running. He bellowed, "I''m out of breath thanks to these bastards! Can''t they just stop for


    one second?!"


    The moment Tyson finished, Ricky saw arge bunch of warriors running in the same direction as


    Tyson. They halted at the sight of Ricky; or to be exact, at the sight of Soar who was resting on Ricky''s


    right arm.


    A sense of dread welled up in them once they saw Ricky. They recognized that Soar was a beast of


    demi-mortal. There was no way they would chase after Tyson after realizing he was a friend of


    someone who could manipte a demi-immortal beast. Finishing their task of killing Tyson was


    important, but keeping themselves alive was their primary goal.


    Ricky could deduce from their clothes that they were from the Aeolus Pce, one of the Eight Forces.


    He did not send Soar to kill them, though.


    "Come on! Bitches! Try and kill me! I''m right standing here! Hello, guys! Why are you leaving? Didn''t


    your boss tell you to kill me? I have the thing you all want! How can you just give up so easily?!


    Cowards!" Tyson''s mood shifted from panic to arrogance. He was certain that they would not attack


    him knowing that he had Ricky and Soar with him.


    "Stop it, Tyson! Why don''t you take a rest and get your strength back?" Ricky suggested. He took two


    pills and threw them to Tyson to help him recover.


    "What happened to you? Why did they chase after you like crazy?" Ricky inquired.


    "Wait a moment, please. I need to adjust my breath before I exin this to you," Tyson panted. He took


    the pills from Ricky and swallowed them. Then he hunkered down and sat in meditation to regte his


    breath and gather his strength. About an hourter, he opened his eyes and he felt like a part of his


    energy was replenished.


    "Much better, thank you. The pills helped me a lot. It would''ve taken me three days to recover if it


    weren''t for them," Tyson gratefully smiled at Ricky.


    "So, let''s talk the business," suggested Ricky.


    "Sure. Here is the thing. Those guys had been chasing after me for a whole day! How I wished I could


    throw the innate spiritual ball and bomb all of them! But I can''t because I need to keep the ball to deal


    with those demi-mortal warriors!" Tyson huffed.


    "Did you do anything to those people from the Aeolus Pce? They wouldn''t be chasing you and


    hunting you down, otherwise. They couldn''t be after your cultivation resources, too. You are not


    carrying plenty, after all." Ricky shrugged.


    "They were chasing after me to get this!" Tyson opened his storage bag and took a white petal. It was


    about half a meter in length. Holding the petal in his palm, Tyson had a face etched in mystery.


    The moment the white petal appeared in the space, both Ricky and Soar felt a strong pure energy


    sweep over their faces. This took them by surprise. But what they found all the more astonishing was


    that the lights emitted from the white petal defeated the evil spirit which had surrounded them.


    Ricky felt two extreme energies from the petal; the ice and the fire. Upon closer observation, he found


    glitters of ice and fire were adorned alternatively around it.


    Either the energy of the ice or the fire was powerful enough to kill anyone. Probably because the ice


    and the fire controlled each other, the energy in the white petal was neutralized and it was showing


    neither ice nor fire energies.


    "What the hell! What is this? Some kind of Treasure from Heaven and Earth? Incredible!" Ricky


    reached out and took the petal from Tyson. His voice trembled with excitement. He watched it carefully,


    eyes lighting up.


    "Ricky, if I guessed correctly, this white petal is from a Treasure from Heaven and Earth of intermediate


    King Level! It''s called the Celestial Flower," Soar murmured in a low yet excited voice.


    This petal must be extremely precious and valuable. He, as a Great Dragon, even grew excited.


    "Exactly! You are absolutely right! It is the Celestial Flower! A treasure of intermediate King Level!"


    Tyson nodded with overjoyed eyes. He was fortunate to harvest this petal upon searching thisnd.


    Unfortunately, before he had the time to refine it, someone from the Aeolus Pce noticed this and


    shared this information with hispanions. The guy knew he wouldn''t be able to take down Tyson on


    his own, so he called for his friends to take it away from him. They almost came close but thanks to


    Ricky and Soar''s appearance, they were not able to snatch it away from him.


    Only a few people could resist a Treasure from Heaven and Earth of intermediate King Level. For


    warriors at their level, it was extremely precious. That was exactly why those men were hunting him.


    They knew once they had it, a foreseeable breakthrough would be waiting for them. All they needed


    was employ this white petal during their cultivation.


    "What? A treasure of intermediate King Level?" Ricky muttered in surprise as he reached out to touch


    the petal softly.


    "Soar, can you tell me what the flower is for?" he quipped, eager to know more.


    "Yes. The Celestial Flower grows up by absorbing the purest fire power and frosty power. Therefore, it


    owns the purest innate power. That''s why the evil spirit retreated when they were greeted by the light of


    the petal," Soar exined.


    "The flower is embedded with enormous frosty power and fire power. But these two powers don''t show


    up. It can only be felt once a warrior refines it.


    Since the Celestial Flower is too pure, it can''t survive and can''t grow up where there is light. It only


    appears in dark, gloomy environment. This ce is a piece ofnd of an ancient battlefield where moist


    and darkness filled up. It is a perfect ce to breed a Celestial Flower.


    As for what it''s for, it can improve the warrior''s level, of course. What''s more, it helps the warrior to


    strengthen the ability to feel and absorb the pure power in the space around them. But it only applies to


    warriors who practice the body refining cultivation method."
