Both Ricky and Cole appear at the front of a cave. This was the cave Cole used to live when he was still lost here in the Dark Forest.

Cole just look at Ricky who was still gripping him so hard.

"It's okay now." Cole said to Ricky. Ricky, who has his face buried in the back of Cole look up and check his surrounding. When saw that he was in a unfamiliar place, Ricky started to cry.

"Hey, you're coming with me now so don't cry..." Cole console Ricky.

Ricky shakes his head and said, "I'm not crying not because I'm coming with you. I'm crying becuase..." He paused and sob. "I didn't even say goodbye and hug them." He explain.

Cole nod his head in understanding and said, "Do you want to?" He asked.

Ricky think for a second and shake his for disapproval. "It's alright. If I come back there and say goodbye, it'll only make me saying goodbye harder."

"Okay. Let go now. I won't leave you behind."

Ricky's let go Cole. Cole face him and pat his head.

"Are you really sure that you're coming with me?" Cole ask once again.

Ricky harden his face and said, "I'm sure."

Cole just ruffle his head. "Good. Now make yourself more cleaner as we will meet someone later." He instructed.

Ricky nod at him and try to stop crying. Sometimes later, Ricky look presentable than Cole ever know. However, his eyes looks red as he was just stopped crying recently.

Do you want to add 'Ricky' as your party member?

A notification appear in front of Cole. He was shocked as he don't know what this mean.

What is party member, system?

Party members are the companion of the user. Party members will also received exp the same with the user and user's tamed beast.

The system answered. Cole nodded his head and answered yes.

'Ricky' was now part of user Cole's party member. Ricky will also now receive exp.

Cole nodded after reading the notification and ready to summon gate when a follow up appear.

His Summoning Grimoire suddenly appear, open and flipped its page until it comes to the page with picture of the tree. It was the image of Messiah Tree.

The book produced an aura and it fuses with Ricky and vanish.

Ricky just look at him with puzzled face and he just stood there stiffly.

The Messiah Tree blessed Ricky. Ricky won't now encounter bottlenecks below the cultivation of the user.

The Messiah Tree blessed Ricky. Ricky's full potential was now unlocked.

Party Member Name : Ricky Class : ∅ Profession : ∅ CS : Body Tempering Stage (First Level) Progress : 0% CM : ∅ Innate : Water Spirit Body Skills : ∅ Weapon : ∅ Equipment : ∅ Martial Spirit : ∅

Water Spirit Body A body blessed by Heaven with water mana. Owner of this body will improved leaps and bounds if partnered with water type cultivation technique.

After reading Ricky's data, Cole can't help but feel shocked especially with the Water Spirit Body. It was practically a blessing from Heaven!

Although most of it was still blank, Cole understand this as Ricky wasn't started cultivating yet. Still, with his Water Spirit Body, he will improved quickly. That Cole was sure about.

Since there were still time before his meet up with the Caravan, Cole wanted to try something.

He bring Ricky outside the cave and instructed, "Just stand there."

Ricky just nod and do what Cole instructed. He trust his big brother.

Cole summon his Summoning Grimoire and chant, "Heaven's Ritual."

Using Heaven's Ritual... 95% of User's mana reserved was used...

Mana leaved Cole's and he felt weak. He didn't know that this process was taxing. Fortunately, he have the Messiah Tree.

One of the abilities the Messiah Tree given to him was his mana recovery was fast. The Messiah Tree was full of energy and it transfer that energy to Cole when his mana wasn't full.

The mana that leaves his body go the ground below Ricky's feet. The mana then transform into magic circle. Suddenly, the book once again let out an aura and it fuses with the magic circle.

The magic circle stabilize.

Dark clouds started to gather above the sky. The dark clouds area was so wide that even the Towering Tree City was also below of it.

The people at the city started to clamour.

A heaven's phenomenon appear!

The dark clouds started to dissipate moments later. No Heavens Tribulation happened which means a genius was born in the area or a incredible treasure appear inside the Dark Forest!

Every strong person inside the city started to move towards the forest.

Meanwhile, after the phenomenon disappeared, a ball of blue light was floating above Ricky and fuse with him.

Heaven's Ritual was successful! Party Member 'Ricky' was bestowed a Martial Spirit from the Heaven. Congratulations! Party Member 'Ricky' acquired a Water Dragon Martial Spirit!

Party Member 'Ricky' acquired a skill Free Water Bending.

Free Water Bending Control water and bend according to the user's will.

After passing glance the notification, Cole summon gate. "We'll leave from him, quick!"

They enter the gate and reappear somewhere near the city. Fortunately, there were no other person there.

Cole know that commotion like that will cause the greedy people to see. Although he was powerful himself, he just don't want some troubles.

And sure enough, people started to appear where Cole and Ricky's at. Unfortunately for them, there were no soul there, just a rich water mana which was odd.

A rich water mana in the middle of the forest where there were no near body of water?

Different people started to speculate and come with a conclusion, a water type treasure appear! However they were seconds too late as the said treasure were nowhere to be seen. Someone claim the treasure and run fast.

They must go after him and get the treasure!

While the people were busy in their treasure finding, Cole and Ricky was once again inside the room where he question the old man, inside the Information Pavillion.

He was waiting for the old man as well as the representative of the caravan and talk about him being their escort.

However, five hours after the set time, they were still nowhere to be seen.

Between those five hours Cole instructed Ricky to meditate.

When he started to cultivate, a small dragonlike creature appear on top of his head and started to attract the surrounding water mana. It was the Water Dragon Martial Spirit of Ricky. Half an hour later, the room was now full of water mana.

Those mana just enter Ricky's body and bath with it and his progress in cultivation in the data started to change and increase. Cole let him and also started to cultivate. Although he can't breakthrough, he can still further stabilize his cultivation of peak of Mana Gathering Stage. The stronger your foundation, the better for future higher stage.

They were just like that for Five hours.

Cultivation was a dull and boring process and it's just like that.

Minutes later, the old man appear along with a man in his twenties.

Feeling another presence in the room, Cole open his eyes.

"You're here." He spoke.

The old man nodded. "It's ok and we were sorry too for being late. So much late."

"No worries." He said.

"Good." The old man said. "This one here is Nick Carmelo and he is the leader of the caravan." He introduced the man beside him to Cole.

"I'm Nick from Carmelo Family Caravan. We're just training our young disciples here in Dark Forest and we're going back home tommorrow." He started. "And we would appreciate it if you escort us to safety."

"Sure." Cole answered plainly.

"We will leave first thing tomorrow morning and we'll be outside the wall of city." He said to Cole.

"Don't you know the commotion outside?" The old man can't help but Cole.

The attendant said to him that Cole was alreadry in the room for five hours. Which means that he is already here by the time they set to meet-up. Don't he want treasure.

"Treasure will come to those who are fated." Cole answered vaguely.

Both Nick and the old man nod. Indeed, treasure will come to those who are fated with them. Sadly, they weren't one of those fated today.

Cole look at Nick and said, "Expect me tommorow."

"Sure." Nick answered to Cole.

Cole just nod both to Nick and the old man and started to walk outside.

Cole found some inn and stay there for the night. He used cultivation space in their room and cultivated for the entire night.
