Aside from the hunt for the spiritual treasures, the high-level clans of the spiritual race that already had
legendary guardian beasts were secretly looking for the reincarnated legendary guardian beasts.
Both Marcia and Alyssa had the legendary guardian beasts of their clans. Because of this, they were
no longer half-human and half-spirit but had fully become members of the spiritual race. This news of
their transformation had spread among all the clans of the spiritual race, making a stir around the
different forces.
Most of them were alarmed by this news, for Marcia and Alyssa were not too big of a threat as humans,
but now that they were full members of the spiritual race, their threat level had significantly increased.
Apart from the Wood Clan and the Dragon Master Clan, there was a rumor that two other clans of the
spiritual race had already found the reincarnated legendary guardian beasts. But because they were
afraid that this would make them the public's target, they kept their discovery on the down low, hoping
not to attract unnecessary attention. One of the two clans was the Ghost Master Clan, which was one
of the top-level clans of the spiritual race. Meanwhile, the other clan had once been influential in certain
circles, but their force had now weakened. After the two clans knew that the Wood Clan and the
Dragon Master Clan had found the reincarnated legendary guardian beasts, they revealed the news
about their possession of such beasts in order to balance the whole situation among the clans.
However, just a month ago, the news that the Phoenix Master Clan had discovered a reincarnated
legendary guardian beast spread.
At present, six legendary guardian beasts had appeared in the Wild Spirit Land, including the
reincarnation pupa of the Nether Butterfly Queen that Rocky had brought out.
The emergence of the seven spiritual treasures and six legendary guardian beasts brought tension to
the Wild Spirit Land. Anxiety hovered like a thick cloud in the land, especially for the clans hoping to
find spiritual treasures and legendary guardian beasts to strengthen themselves. After all, only two
spiritual treasures and three legendary guardian beasts had not yet been discovered, so they didn't
have much chance to encounter one.
On the other hand, chaos would undoubtedly encompass the land once the remaining two spiritual
treasures and three legendary guardian beasts were found.
There was a chance that soon, there would be bloodshed throughout the Wild Spirit Land.
In the Genome Research Institute inside the Crimson City, Rocky examined the newly born Nigel
Dragon Insects in a shed. They had grown well in the past few months, and soon, these insects would
enter adulthood. Rocky was eager for these creatures to mature, as he was looking forward to the
treasures they would produce.
Presently, among the other treasure-producing spirit-manipulated beasts that he was cultivating, he
perceived the descendants of the Fire Rock Turtles and the Dark Heaven Insects as the best ones.
That was because they produced middle-grade treasures of good quality, which could seriously help
the spirit manipulators at the Divine Stage in their cultivation.
Of course, a top low-grade treasure, like a top Dark Heaven Egg, would already be impressive for
ordinary spirit manipulators, not to mention a middle-grade one.
In sharp contrast to those spirit manipulators, Rocky found it easy to obtain middle-grade treasures like
those. But he didn't have to use many treasures in the past year, because his strength increased
exponentially every time he merged with the evil power of the Holy Dragon Bead. On the other hand,
Isis and the other women relied on these treasures to increase their strength substantially in a short
period.
Of course, for Rocky, it didn't matter how good the treasures were. What mattered to him was the level
he could reach. More than that, for Rocky, the most important thing was that gene technology could be
used in this era.
From the very beginning, he had dreamt of bringing change to this era using gene technology. And
finally, he was working toward this direction, and had already made significant progress along the way.
However, due to the limited technology in this era, Rocky could not do a lot of complicated genetic
experiments. But despite these limitations, he was quite satisfied with his current progress.
Right after he finished the examination for the Nigel Dragon Insects, he suddenly felt a strong uproar in
his Magic Spiritual Space. He immediately opened the space and walked in to check. Inside, Rocky
saw that Uriah was lying on the ground, whining and twisting around in pain. The fire on its body burst
out in irregular waves as if Uriah was an explosive and unstable volcano. Beside Uriah, Robin and Ken
appeared distraught, as they anxiously peered around Uriah. They were finally relieved when they saw
that Rocky had come.
"Did it start again?" Rocky rushed to Uriah and immediately infused his spiritual power into its body.
It took quite some time before it recovered enough to stand up on shaky legs.
Ever since Rocky found a fatal flaw in Uriah's genome, he had been looking for a way to repair it. But
until now, he still couldn't find a cure. A few months ago, Uriah began to act strangely like it did just
now, and this would lead to disorder in its spiritual power, causing it to lose control.
He had tried many methods, but none of them could cure Uriah. The most troublesome thing was that
this kind of abnormal situation occurred only once a month initially, but its occurrence had now
increased to several times a month. He feared that, soon, it would be too unpredictable and could
happen at any time. The time of the relapses also varied. Although Rocky could use his spiritual power
to help Uriah stabilize the disturbed spiritual power in its body, there was still no way to cure it entirely.
Rocky was immensely worried that the time would come when the relapse became more frequent, and
he was afraid that it would be too much for Uriah to bear. Even though Uriah was qualified to surpass
the legendary guardian beasts, it could still suffer damage to its soul. Worse, it could disappear under
the impact of a strong force, which was very similar to what had happened to Rocky.
He only left his Magic Spiritual Space once Uriah was in a stable condition. After that, he went back to
the Crimson Chamber and saw Sabina, Lucilla, and Shirley gathered together. They seemed
preoccupied with discussing something.
Half a month ago, Isis took Sue and Nigel back to the Crimson Dragon Group to help because the army
lacked manpower during the consecutive months of battle. Lena was not there either, which left only
three women in the Crimson Chamber.
As soon as Sabina, Lucilla, and Shirley saw Rocky, they rushed toward and surrounded him.
"What's wrong with you?" Rocky immediately felt that something strange was going on with the women,
so he stared at them sternly until one of them spoke up.
However, the three women stayed silent. They looked at each other quietly until Sabina handed an
invitation to Rocky.
He accepted it with a narrowed gaze, scanning the label. Rocky was taken aback by what he saw! It
appeared to be from the Magic Phoenix Empire. If he were a cat, his hackles would inevitably be
raised. After all, he had gone through inhumane treatment thanks to the Magic Phoenix Empire, so no
matter what kind of invitation it was, he would not be interested.
However, he still read the content carefully. He narrowed his eyes as he went through each line written
on the invitation. When he finished, the expression on his face was hard to read.
"It's odd. Why would the Magic Phoenix Empire suddenly invite you? I don't think they have any good
intention," Sabina said.
"I heard that the Magic Phoenix Empire regarded men as beasts. Even dogs lead a better life than the
men there," Shirley echoed, nodding along with the other women.
"Yes. I remember that when we went there last time, Basil was taken as..." It seemed that Lucilla
remembered something, as a laugh escaped her mouth, which she hastily covered with a cough.
Rocky shook his head and gave her a bitter smile. He, too, wanted to be amused by the whole thing,
but instead, it left a bad taste in his mouth.
