CHAPTER 457 MASTER OF TREASURE HUNTING

As Rocky entered the Myriad Beasts Ground, his purpose for being there started to become even

clearer. He did not embark on this journey simply for his growth or for him to arrive at the second grade

of the Heavenly Stage. He also wanted to collect rare treasures. He knew that, while rare treasures

wouldn't help him ascend evil spiritual power, it would help him increase Fire spiritual power. He

experienced this a while back – his Fire spiritual power was able to reach the fifth grade of the Earthly

Stage after he was able to refine an intermediate and a superior Dark Heaven Egg. However, he still

had a long way to go before his Fire spiritual power reached the Heavenly Stage. Therefore, he was

committed to promoting the Fire spiritual power to the Heavenly Stage to strengthen the power of the

Evil Flame.

There were countless of rare treasures in the Wild Spirit Land, but all of them could be classified into

four levels: primary level, medium level, premium level, and rare level. Among which, the Dark Heaven

Egg could be classified within the primary level. Similarly, the Heaven Divine Lotus Seed and the Water

Essence Pill – both previously obtained by Rocky – were also on the same level.

Rocky wasn't able to retrieve a lot of rare treasures. Only the spiritual power Ice Crystal which he

acquired in the cave of the Ghostly Ice Fox-wolf could be considered a rare treasure of significant

value. It was one of the best among the primary level treasures. Unfortunately, the spiritual power Ice

Crystal was only one year or so years old at the time of Rocky's retrieval from the cave. If it were any

older, it would have been much more valuable.

Apart from that, Rocky also had the superior Dark Heaven Egg which was born from the Dark Heaven

Insect – a creature with a body designed to create rare treasures. It was also considered as one of the

best treasures in the primary level. On the other hand, the spirit-manipulated beasts like Ghostly Ice

Fox-wolf and Three-tailed Aquatic Lizard just let rare treasures condense in their body. However, in

fact, their inner spiritual power was not strong.

At that moment, the Ice Crystal had the same spiritual power as the superior Dark Heaven Egg Rocky

had recently acquired. Even if the Dark Heaven Insect did not have many stars to its name, it was

made to produce rare treasures thereby making it extremely valuable. Other insects that could not

produce their own rare treasures all paled in comparison to it.

With that in mind, Rocky waited for the Dark Heaven Insect Queen to lay its eggs. That way, he could

have a whole treasure trove to himself.

But, of course, the Wild Spirit Land also contained other types of rare treasures. There were also many

treasures much more advanced than the superior Dark Heaven Egg. Compelled by the idea of rare

treasures, Rocky embarked on a journey to the Myriad Beasts Ground in pursuit of treasures more

superior than the superior Dark Heaven Egg. After all, if Rocky could acquire more advanced rare

treasures, it would benefit his cultivation.

But Rocky's plan was merely wishful thinking for most spirit manipulators. It appeared to be a dream far

beyond one's reach. Most spirit manipulators would have been happy with just a primary Dark Heaven

Egg. Most would even feel grateful to simply encounter a treasure as rare as the Dark Heaven Egg.

Obtaining rare treasures such as the Dark Heaven Egg required a lot of fortune. It was not an easy task

even for masters who had already exceeded the Supernal Stage. But, of course, all this was based on

circumstance. For one, Marcia generously gave Rocky some valuable pieces of yellow spiritual crystal

when they were both in the Palace City. Marcia did so without any hint of hesitation.

Another reason why Rocky seemed ahead of everyone was that he had the aid of the Rainbow Glow

Unicorn. With its help, Rocky knew where the treasures were - except for the ones that remained

difficult to find. Usually, the better treasures came with greater risks. Rocky was all too familiar with

these risks as he once almost lost his life when he retrieved the spiritual power Ice Crystal.

Rocky led the four beasts through the periphery forest of Myriad Beasts Ground. At that point, they

bravely navigated the area as they found themselves familiar with the routes. They no longer feared the

wild spirit-manipulated beasts which only had two or three stars. In ten minutes, they already found

themselves at the end of the forest.

Along the way, Rocky was able to spot a few rare treasures similar to the primary Dark Heaven Egg.

He picked them up and planned to give them to Sue as a gift upon his return. To his dismay, he was not

able to retrieve treasures similar to the spiritual crystal. It felt like he used up all his luck after he

acquired the extremely rare blue spiritual crystal.

At the edge of the forest, one could see the Myriad Beasts Ground. From where Rocky stood, it looked

frightening and dangerous. Wild spirit-manipulated beasts populated its land. Almost all of them had

three or four stars and they all acted in groups. They looked like they were waiting for a prey they could All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

hunt and kill.

Rocky knew that beyond the edge of the Myriad Beasts Ground, they would encounter more frightening

wild spirit-manipulated beasts perhaps with four-star level or even with five-star level. Rocky knew, for

example, that he could encounter the five-star Ghostly Ice Fox-wolf which he met previously.

With his current cultivation, Rocky was not sure if he could still make himself go through the edge of the

Myriad Beasts Ground safely, not to mention entering into its deeper parts.

Rocky knew better this time. He threaded the outer forest edge carefully and slowly. He watched out for

any wild spirit-manipulated beasts that might suddenly appear.

A half hour into their journey, Rocky found himself at the mercy of Bloody-eyed Wolves - a beast

considered to be at the third grade of the three-star level. If they were considered as a spirit

manipulator, Rocky knew that they would have been as strong as one who was at the seventh grade of

the Earthly Stage.

Rocky shivered at the memory of his last encounter with Bloody-eyed Wolves - an encounter wherein

he almost lost his life. When he was attempting to rescue the little Ghostly Ice Fox-wolf, he found

himself almost in the mouth of the Bloody-eyed Wolves. Fortunately for him, a strange-looking yet

powerful woman came to his rescue. The woman possessed the physical features of human beings,

yet something about her obviously made her seem beyond human. 'If she wasn't human, what was

she?' Rocky wondered curiously.

So when Rocky found himself faced with four Bloody-eyed Wolves yet again, a familiar anger swelled

inside him. He was fuelled with rage and so he quickly drew out the Frozen Wind Dagger and infused

spiritual powers in it. In an instant, the Frozen Wind Dagger transformed into a Flaming Blade.

Uriah and Rubygon stood fiercely beside Rocky, ready to fight. Rainbow Glow Unicorn grabbed the

little Ghostly Ice Fox-wolf to the back of the show and awaited for their cue to attack.

"Go!" Rocky signaled. Rocky slashed the Flaming Blade of Frozen Wind Dagger in his hand. For every

move, a trail of smoke would follow the blade. Uriah and Rubygon lunged forward, each taking on one

of the four Bloody-eyed Wolves. They attacked with their utmost power.
