Chapter 763 Gorden Made An Offer
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 eximed 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 intricateyer 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 shed 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 epted 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 ce 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.
''It seems that my talent would not only bring me closer to a number of jealous and bloodthirsty
opportunists, and assassins. On the plus side, it would also bring me closer to a number of
advantages, '' Ricky thought deeply to himself.
"Sir, I thought that I was already a member of the Casting Center when I passed the fourth floor of the
Soul Tower," Ricky said to Gorden with a mischievous but quizzical smile.
"Ha-ha! That is true. You have quite an impressive memory," Gorden said as he nodded and reacted to
Ricky''s words with a hint of glee.
"But, what I really want to say is, the Casting Center intends to open up a new position for the sixth
chief. Do you have any interest in iming it?"
Bang! The moment Gorden finished his words, the entire space fell into silence. His words caused a
stir among the crowd. The overwhelming amount of shock seized everyone so that no one was able to
speak or voice out their disbelief and disagreement.
All of the warriors wondered whether they had heard wrong. It was just all too shocking for it to be true.
If Ricky were to be one of the chiefs of the Casting Center, then he would be regarded with a high
reputation and position in the entire Eastern Land. He would also be entitled to a number of privileges
and advantages.
Although Ricky was an ace genius, they all knew that his strength was far from enough to include him
as one of the chiefs of the Casting Center. Talent was indeed important in the martial world, but overall,
it was strength that helped to decide everything in the end.
Had Ricky not beencking in strength, they would certainly not make any objection. But Ricky was
currently not strong enough to be a chief of the Casting Center.
They looked at Gorden with stunned eyes, as they hoped he would take back what he had said. They
were silently wishing he would justugh it off and im it was all a bluff.
"Cameron, what do you think? Is Gorden joking?" Harrison asked Cameron straightforwardly.
"Do you think he would joke about something as serious as that?" Cameron retorted.
"I think he is being serious. But, this decision may cause a lot of trouble. Sellers would be the first one
to object it. Also there are many casting masters at the intermediate stage and advanced stage of the
Spirit Level with rich experience in our Casting Center. Do you think they would agree to Gorden''s
wishes?" Harrison''s tone was rife with concern.
"So, even if we want him to be the sixth chief, we should do it slowly. At least, we should wait until he
bes a casting master at the advanced stage of Spirit Level."
"Well, I have no idea what Gorden is thinking, but I''m actually quite looking forward to it. If Ricky really
bes the sixth chief, how will he face the objections from others? I''m curious about how he will be
dealing with it," Cameron said with an expectant smile on his face.
He had confidence in Ricky''s abilities, but he was yet to witness how Ricky would face the adversities
going against his advancement and progress in the Casting Center.
"Ricky, Gorden doesn''t seem to be joking. It seems that he already thinks highly of you," Tina told Ricky
through their telepathic link. "It is important for you to get the support from a spiritual emperor and
casting master of Demi-saint Level. That way, no one will dare bully or find fault in you in the Eastern
Land."
"Tina, you know what? It''s not an easy job for me to be the sixth chief of the Casting Center with my
current strength. I''m not that strong yet," Ricky said in a slightly helpless tone.
"I admit that it would not be an easy job. But, hey, think about it. It will scare off those spiritual emperors
who want you dead, won''t it? It would at least provide you with a bit of security," Tina reassured Ricky.
"So, if you ept his offer and be the sixth chief of the Casting Center, you will gain more
advantages than disadvantages."
"Tina, maybe you are right!" Ricky murmured, feeling a surge of encouragement fill him up, thanks to
Tina''s words.
Tina was right. If he became the sixth chief of the Casting Center, the spiritual emperors would be even
more afraid of him. Despite the trouble he was bound to face, it would still be a win-win situation for him
in the end.
As he thought about Gorden, Ricky really couldn''t figure out what was going on in his mind. Gorden
was well aware that his strength was not strong enough to be the sixth chief of the Casting Center. But
why did he make such an offer?
Ricky raised his head to meet Gorden''s gaze, "Sir, please don''t take me for a fool. I may have some
talent, but I am not blindly confident and I don''t think I''m strong enough to be a chief of the Casting
Center. At the moment, I can say that I am satisfied with just being weed as a new member. To tell
you the truth, and I hope this doesn''t offend you, I have never thought of bing a chief or being
ced in any other high position while I am in the Casting Center."
"Oh?" Gorden raised his eyebrows. He was surely not expecting Ricky''s reply. "Do you really think that
I''m ying some sort of a prank with you? For your information, I am a spiritual emperor," Gorden
responded in a way that reminded Ricky just how powerful and sensible he was as a spiritual emperor.
