A few days later, Marcia received a secret letter from the Magic Phoenix Empire. It was written by the
queen herself. She said in the letter that the Phoenix Master Clan had already agreed to let the Magic
Phoenix Empire out of its control. Besides that, the empire would also join the united empires according
to the previous agreement.
However, since the Phoenix Master Clan was defeated, the Magic Phoenix Empire had naturally
become Alston's new target. He sent out a hundred thousand human army to attack the empire and
intended to take it down in one go. Fortunately, the empire was powerful enough to quickly deal with
the situation.
On the other hand, Rocky also had some new discovery while he was in the Divine Land located on the
third realm of the Maelstrom Realms.
At that moment, he was conducting a research in a lab he rebuilt in a building beside the Divine Gods
Hall. Suddenly, he heard a cry from outside. He immediately walked out and saw Ken standing outside.
As soon as Ken saw him, it turned its head and looked towards the beast pen.
In the past year, apart from concentrating on cultivation in the Divine Land, Rocky also conducted all
kinds of research.
Seeing this, he immediately went to the beast pen. Inside the pen, there were all sorts of treasure
producing spirit-manipulated beasts, including the Dark Magic Insects. He noticed that there seemed to
be some movement in the beast pen of a Nigel Dragon Insect, so he immediately went over. After
entering, he found a treasure that looked neither an egg nor a stone under the Nigel Dragon Insect that
had just grown into the four-star level.
Rocky carefully took the treasure, immediately examined it several times and found that it was very
strange. Although the aura of the treasure was extraordinarily strong, it did not contain any strong
spiritual power like those other treasures.
Rocky took the treasure to the lab at once and did a research for a couple of days. He found that it was
not a treasure that could assist in cultivation, but an incredibly special spiritual treasure. According to
the data he had collected, the function of this spiritual treasure was not to help increase the spiritual
power, but to strengthen the human body and fundamentally change humans' physique.
Rocky's original intention was to cultivate a better treasure producing spirit-manipulated beast. He
didn't expect that he had accidentally developed a new type of treasure that had never appeared in this
world.
According to his estimation, this might have something to do with the Holy-blood Dragon King. In the
past year, he had tried to use the crystal eggs of different legendary guardian beasts to make asexual
reproduction. He made some progress and cultivated three new treasure producing spirit-manipulated
beasts. However, the spirit-manipulated beasts needed time to cultivate. The Nigel Dragon Insect was
the first successful batch of descendants of the legendary guardian beasts. So, the treasure it just
produced was also the first successful treasure.
But this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that in the past year, Rocky
had been dedicated in studying how to improve the human gene. He constantly used all kinds of
technology available, but the result was not what he wanted. So, the appearance of this new treasure
broke the stalemate and provided Rocky new hope.
So, Rocky immediately went to the Wind City.
As soon as he returned to the city, it was naturally a pleasant thing. Almost everyone gathered as soon
as they heard that Rocky was back.
When he saw all the people who always supported him, he had mixed feelings. He had unfortunately
fallen into the evil way which would only bring them misfortune. Therefore, he could only show his
indifference which was frightening and difficult to approach.
"Basil..." Lena went straight to Rocky and her gentle eyes seemed to melt everything.
"Lena, are you okay?" Although Rocky didn't want to be involved with those people too much, he
couldn't help but ask her.
Lena slightly nodded, but her eyes couldn't help but turn red. She didn't say anything, but she knew
that both of them understood the feeling.
At that time, a small figure suddenly ran out of the crowd and shouted, "Daddy!"
Hearing his son's voice, Rocky couldn't help but tremble. There was a touch of relief and regret in his
cold eyes, but he didn't say much. He just looked down at the big innocent eyes that were looking up at
him, and then touched his son's sparse hair with his hand.
Then, Isis walked out of the crowd, moved up to Rocky, and held Nigel in her arms. She looked at
Rocky with her beautiful eyes and said, "Are you finally here to see me and our son?"
"No, I'm not here to see you. I just have something important to tell Marcia," Rocky replied as he tried
his best to be indifferent.
"I just want to say that you are still my husband and the father of our child. Nothing has changed. We
will... we will wait until you return..." Isis tried to speak but she was choking as she suppressed her
tears.
Sabina and the other women immediately came to her side to comfort her. Of course, they couldn't help
but roll their eyes at Rocky.
"Marcia, Chief Bryant, and Father, please come with me at once. I have something to discuss with
you..." Rocky nodded at the three people he mentioned.
With that, Rocky, Marcia, Bryant, and Lance went to the side hall to have their intimate discussion.
After the four of them sat down, Rocky immediately told them of his new findings.
"So, you mean that the treasure produced by the descendant of the Holy-blood Dragon King can
directly strengthen the human body?" After hearing what Rocky said, Marcia was incredibly surprised.
"That's right. I guess that the gene of the Holy-blood Dragon King might have something to do with it.
So, I want to collect more blood for research. If it really has something to do with the blood of the Holy-
blood Dragon King, maybe I can directly use its blood as the strengthening agent..." Rocky explained
as he nodded.
"But what will be its effect?" Bryant inquired.
"It depends on the result of the experiment. If we succeed, it will become a key turning point. With this
strong agent, humans can possibly have the physique to resist the spiritual race," Rocky firmly said.
"Then, you need to study this strengthening agent as soon as possible. The Phoenix Master Clan is
over, and Alston has no scruples. I'm assuming that we are his next target," Lance worriedly said.
"I agree. Although we currently have about three hundred thousand soldiers and more than two
thousand spirit manipulators, there are tens of thousands of members of the spiritual race under
Alston's rule. I'm afraid even if we go all out, we may not be able to resist them. Besides that, they also
have the support from the human empires that they rule." Bryant's eyes darkened at this.
"So, we have to buy more time to conduct this experiment successfully," Rocky said.
"Basil, do you have any plans?" Marcia immediately asked.
