CHAPTER 804 AN INVITATION
"The Void Tree? The Void Cell?" Ricky and Pearl uttered in confusion. Even though Ricky was
completely aware of the information mentioned in the jade slip given by Evil Emperor, he had never
been introduced to those things before.
"Do they have something to do with the Void Beasts?" Ricky guessed.
"All the Void Beasts in the Heavenly Void are born in the Void Tree's Void Cell." Ares said.
"Really?!" It came as a shock to Ricky and Pearl.
The Void Beasts were also flesh and blood, which made people assume that they reproduced naturally.
However, that was not the case.
"That's right! That's how the Void Beasts are born. But, it is almost impossible to find the secluded and
hidden tree," Ares continued. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"Then, what functions do the Void Tree and the Void Cell have?" Ricky asked. This must be the point
since Ares specially mentioned the Void Tree and the Void Cell.
"A creature can absorb the heavenly power by cultivating on the Void Tree. It's extremely slow in
absorbing speed, but actually it's much better than one who isn't able to absorb the heavenly power,"
Ares explained.
"Absorb the heavenly power!" Ricky and Pearl were stunned at this piece of information.
It was believed that only spiritual emperors could absorb the heavenly power, while the lives beneath
that level could only get the heavenly power from the Senses of Realm and the Void Beasts.
The heavenly power in the Senses of Realm could be absorbed only after refining. The heavenly power
in the blood essence of the Void Beasts contained too little and the Void Beasts needed to be hunted.
Once one left the Heavenly Void, there were no Senses of Realm or Void Beasts.
Neither of the two solutions would last very long.
If they could obtain the Void Tree, even after leaving the Heavenly Void, they would be able to absorb
the heavenly power. It was a great opportunity for them irrespective of whether they were spiritual
emperors or not.
"The function of the Void Cell is similar to that of the Sense of Realm." Ares continued elaborating
further.
"Though the Void Cell can't give us the chance to make a breakthrough and become a spiritual
emperor, the heavenly power contained in it is much purer than that of the Sense of Realm. It is
believed to be the purest heavenly power in the world."
"So, do you know the location of the Void Tree?" Ricky asked, trying to suppress the excitement in his
heart.
"I don't know, but Selene knows," Ares said.
"Now, Ares, tell me your condition. I can't refuse these two things," Ricky said. Now that Ares had
mentioned it, it clearly meant that he wanted him and Pearl to participate in it.
"Hah, Ricky, you must be joking. Instead of a condition, it's an invitation. I want to invite you two to go
with us to the location of the Void Tree.
Of course, to tell you the truth, we were attracted by your strength, because we have other opponents."
"I appreciate your honesty." Ricky admired his integrity.
"Selene, you can take over from here and guide them. Now, we have invited Ricky, we must tell him the
entire truth." Ares handed over the job to Selene.
"Only in that way, you can make an informed decision."
....
"My father is the king of the Great Star Dynasty. Unfortunately, Sela, my sister, and I are the only ones
left after him. Not too long ago, one day, my father was defeated by a mysterious warrior and got
poisoned." Selene began talking in grief.
"My father is in a critical situation. Because of the poison, he is dying slowly. A dynasty can't exist
without a king. So, my father had to choose partners for each of us, the second young master of the
Ling Clan for my elder sister and Ares for me.
A warrior of our dynasty found the location of the Void Tree and told Father.
There are a lot of Void Beasts possessing the power of an upper spiritual king near that region. That is
why Father asked us to go there separately and look for the help of five warriors. The one who can get
the Void Cell can also inherit the throne in the future.
Of course, the most important thing is, the Void Cell might be able to detoxify Father."
"Unfortunately, Selene can only trust one in the Scarlet King Ape tribe and that is me. And among the
guards of the dynasty, there is one upper spiritual king, who needs to protect the king," Ares said.
"Oh, I see," Ricky said.
"I want to know whether there will be a completed spiritual king taking part in this!" Ricky asked. If he
was right, it would mean that both the Ling Clan and the Scarlet King Ape tribe had completed spiritual
kings.
"Don't worry, Ricky. There are only three complete spiritual kings in the whole Great Star Dynasty. One
is the king, one is the master of the Ling Clan, and the other is my father," Ares assured him.
"This is a contest between the younger generation. The King, the master of the Ling Clan and my
father have already reached an agreement."
"Got it. But, how can you trust us so much? We have known each other for only half a day," Ricky
asked.
"You wouldn't have saved us before, if you were evil. Instead, you would have killed us if the Void
Beast hadn't been able to kill us. In that case, whatever we have now belongs to you," Ares said.
"More importantly, the Ling Clan is determined to usurp the throne. I don't want them to find the Void
Cell because they will never use it to save Father. Instead, they will only strengthen their own clan."
Selene expressed her concern.
"As for the second young master of the Ling Clan, we are not a match for him. Otherwise, perhaps
falling into the hands of you may be better."
"So that's how it is," Ricky murmured.
"Ricky, we don't have the right to ask for more. After finding the Void Tree and the Void Cell, could you
give us half of the Void Cell? We're asking because only the Void Cell that save the king," Ares asked
sincerely.
"Ares, I'm the one who should be asking you. You've found this place. After it's done, you can give me
half of the Void Cell," Ricky smiled.
"Ricky, please listen to me—"
"Ares, you needn't say anything more. Though, I too desire the Void Tree, I have my principles. Maybe,
we are not friends, but we are absolutely not enemies," Ricky interrupted him before he could finish his
sentence.
Ricky and Pearl decided to go to the place where the Void Tree was located, because half of the Void
Cell were enough to make the two of them move.
...
Without any hesitation, the four of them headed towards the location of the Void Tree.
This time, they moved forward smoothly with the help of Ricky and Pearl, as they helped them in
getting rid of Void Beasts and other hindrances.
