CHAPTER 789 MURMURING TO HIMSELF

"Is it a fragment of the Dragon Master Clan's holy treasure?" Rocky asked himself in amusement. After

scrutinizing it, Rocky was so sure that what he was holding was just a fraction of the Dragon Master

Clan's holy treasure. Obviously, it was not a complete holy treasure so it was natural for him not to

sense any strength from it.

"But the witch of the Holy Dragon Empire was really something! I mean, she turned those useless

fragments into some other good use. I guess she might have left other fragments like this to serve as

clues. This is great! The spirit manipulators could follow these fragments that would most probably lead

them to the Myriad Spirit Tomb. I bet that countless spirit manipulators would die just to have one,"

Rocky said to himself as he stared at the fragment in his hand. He felt lucky that the dragon-shaped

Soul Beast showed up in time. If it weren't for it, then he would have been killed by the Shadow Beasts.

After it appeared, the Shadow Beasts got scared and ran off, vanishing into thin air.

At that moment, Rocky was also interested in where the dragon-shaped Soul Beast and the Shadow

Beasts had gone after the encounter. During the last minute, those Shadow Beasts had even

threatened to swallow him whole! Struck with fear, Rocky could not help but gulp air and break out in a

cold sweat. Next thing he knew, the Shadow Beasts disappeared, and he was free from trouble. He

looked left and right, but they weren't anywhere to be found. Feeling safe, he sighed in relief. But what

really caught his eye was the miniature version of the dragon-shaped beast. He became obsessed with

it, thinking that owning it would greatly improve his strength.

Afterwards, Rocky put the fragment of the holy treasure inside his pocket and turned his gaze to the

box. Inside this wooden box, there was a book with the words 'Dragon Magic Skill' printed on its front

cover. Curious as to what it contained, he picked up the book, blew out the dust on it, and opened the

cover slowly. What he found surprised him because this ancient book turned out to be a secret book for

the spiritual race. To be exact, it contained the basic spiritual cultivation method for the Dragon Master

Clan's spirit manipulators of the Supernal Stage. Anyone who laid eyes on this book could easily tell

that it was valued due to its being ancient and mysterious.

It was widely known that this kind of secret book was extremely rare for the spirit manipulators of the

Supernal Stage. In fact, the book was such a treasure that everyone would surely be so eager to have holds © this.

one. However, only a few imperial spirit manipulators could learn the secrets of the secret book from

the spiritual race in the Wild Spirit Land. One reason for this was that this kind of secret book was said

to be, in no exaggeration, extremely rare. The other was that there was still a threshold to those spirit

manipulators of the Supernal Stage who wanted to read this kind of book. Since the secret book was

created by the spiritual race, it must hold up to their standards. Meaning to say, it required higher

qualifications and talent to learn it. Therefore, even the spirit manipulators of the Supernal Stage were

not qualified to understand and unravel the mystery of the secret book.

"It seems that the future generation may have benefited from this witch!" Rocky could not help but

exclaim happily. At this moment, he knew that luck was on his side. Judging by his current strength, all

he needed was to merge with the power sealed in the third layer so that he could begin practicing the

skills in the secret book of the Dragon Master Clan. With the kind of talent that he possessed,

cultivating the secret book of the spiritual race would be a piece of cake to him. After all, practicing the

Dragon Magic Skill was just a matter of time.

For convenience's sake, Rocky read and memorized the Dragon Magic Skill from cover to cover, and

burned it into ashes right after. Since it was one of the most precious treasures of all time to the Wild

Spirit Land, Rocky was so sure that everyone would take the chance to have it. If other spirit

manipulators of the Supernal Stage knew that he had such a precious book, he would most certainly be

the target of them all. Therefore, the safest way was to keep it in mind and burn the physical one,

leaving no trace of it.

After destroying the book, he noticed that there was a purple elixir left inside the wooden box. About

the size of two fingers, this elixir was definitely large for an ordinary elixir. Rocky examined it more

carefully and found that its aura exuded a strange kind of spiritual energy. In addition, this aura might

be similar in some ways to spiritual crystals, but at the same time, there was a bit different between

them. After observing it for the second time, he figured out that this purple elixir was not at all made for

human spirit manipulators.

'I wonder if it is the same as the spiritual crystals that can be used to enhance the spiritual power of

those spirit-manipulated beasts...' thought Rocky. In the Wild Spirit Land, it was rather common for the

spirit-manipulated beasts to use elixirs to enhance their spiritual power. However, there was a limit on

the usage of this kind of elixirs. Ordinary elixirs could only improve the strength of ordinary spirit-

manipulated beasts. The same went for the high-level spirit-manipulated beasts that could only use

spiritual crystals to make it work.

However, the purple elixir on Rocky's hand was obviously unlike other elixirs. Moreover, Rocky

believed that the refining materials of the purple elixir were highly uncommon due to the aroma that it

emitted. Even a clever person like him couldn't even identify the materials that were used to make the

elixir. With his observations, he hypothesized that this purple elixir was not refined by humans but

rather by the spiritual race.

"Well, I'd better put it away first, and do a comprehensive research later," Rocky continued to murmur

to himself. If this elixir could really enhance high-level spirit-manipulated beasts, then he thought that

his beast could use it. Afterwards, he put the purple elixir in his bottle and hid the bottle inside his silk

bag.

During this time, Rocky looked up at the icy tombstone that stretched up into the air. Initially, he was not

very curious about how the spiritual race got wiped out, but now, he thought that it was worth studying.

After all, a witch of the Holy Dragon Empire was involved in it, which made the topic more interesting

for him to dig out. But the question still remained unsolved: who was this witch from the Holy Dragon

Empire? Only after he returned to the Holy Dragon Empire would he know the answer to that. But he

was not in a hurry to know the secrets that surrounded the spiritual race for there were far more

important things that he had to deal with first.

During that time, he knew that he had to clear his mind and sort out his thoughts. Since he came to this

place, time seemed to have passed by so quickly that he felt he had been through a lot in a short

period of time. Just the thought of it confused him. Suddenly, he recalled the conversation that he

overheard in the dark space, as well as the memory that he saw from the dragon shaped jade and

realized that they might have hidden some overwhelming secrets.

"The conversation I heard and the scene that I have seen should be the memory of only one person.

The woman's voice that I heard in the dark space must be owned by that witch from the Holy Dragon

Empire. That is to say, if the memory didn't belong to the witch of the Holy Dragon Empire, then it must

belong to someone else. But who was that person?" asked Rocky. Although he had sorted out some

things in his head, he was nowhere near clarity.

After some pondering, Rocky realized that if he wanted to know who the person was, then he must

collect the divine blood of nine legendary guardian beasts to reveal all of the memories. Moreover, he

had concluded that all the memories might be hidden in the dragon shaped jade he just acquired. All he

needed was to reveal all of the memories so that he would be able to track who owned them. Perhaps

he could even learn about the astonishing secret of how the spiritual race perished.

However, based on the conversation that he heard in the dark space, Rocky learned something

unusual. It had come to his knowledge that the spiritual race was not the most powerful one in the

world. If the Wild Spirit Land knew this, then he was sure that they would be shaken by this fact!

However, this posed one question—which race was stronger than the spiritual race who were the rulers

of the human race a long time ago? At this time, it seemed impossible for him to dwell and unearth the

secret of the spiritual race. All he could do at that time was to protect himself and solve the puzzle

when the timing was right. He simply could not let go and forget about what the old voice had said in

the dark space. If someone successfully solved this mystery, then he would become a public enemy of

the entire spiritual race. To put it differently, the people of the spiritual race did not want to let the

humans know about their secret.

As the thoughts swarmed in his head, Rocky couldn't help but take a deep and long sigh. At that

moment, he was aware that if he really wanted to solve the mystery, then he would have to prepare

himself to become an enemy of the spiritual race in the Wild Spirit Land.
