Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1244 They Were All True

"I'm afraid that there are several human empires which may not be willing to be detached from the spiritual race. And they can hardly be blamed. After all, if they want the stronger spirit manipulators on their side, they simply have to submit to the spiritual race,” Moira said.

"What you are saying might have been true in the past, but things have changed. The Genome Research Institute has gradually evolved and developed all kinds of new techniques. Not only can these new techniques be used on spirit-manipulated beasts, but also on humans. In fact, I myself have planned to on carrying out a few genetic experiments on humans. I am thinking of using genetic modification techniques to improve humans’ strength and physique. If I succeed, not only will we not need the spiritual race, we can also make the humans become strong spirit manipulators ourselves,” Rocky proclaimed with certainty.

His statement shocked Moira and the other women a little. They could tell that Rocky was not just saying it casually. In fact, from the way he was talking, it looked like he already had everything planned out and was about to carry it out.

"Basil, no matter what you do, we will support you. But you must remember that if we move forward with this, you will most likely become the target of all spiritual race clans out there. Are you sure you want to do this?" Marcia was a little worried. If the spiritual race found out what Rocky was planning, it would land him in a rather precarious situation.

"What's new about that?! Even if I don't do this, I'm already a thorn in so many of the spiritual race clans’ sides, especially the Heavenly Demon Clan. One extra prick won't make that much of a difference,” Rocky replied calmly with a smile. He knew that several clans were already annoyed at him and targeting him, but they hadn't done anything to him till now because they had bigger fish to fry. Moreover, Rocky had already thwarted the nefarious plans of the Heavenly Demon Clan again and again. He knew that when the time came, the Heavenly Demon Clan would never let him go. This gave him no option other than to be more ruthless. He needed to change the world completely and not worry about anything, especially since he was in trouble all the time anyway.

"Shouldn't you talk to your father about this first?" Marcia asked.

"Yes. I plan on going back to the Imperial City and discussing this with him, because this plan needs the support of the entire Holy Dragon Empire!” Rocky affirmed.

"All right, I am coming with you." Marcia nodded.

The next day, the two of them went to the Imperial City, while Isis and the others stayed in the Crimson City.

Once they had reached their destination, they went straight to the Palace City to meet the emperor. Word around town was that although the emperor looked energetic, his health was getting worse and worse every day. Therefore, he would spend a part of his day dealing with politics, and spend the rest of it in his own imperial chamber, recuperating.

"Basil..." The emperor was delighted to see Rocky in his chamber. He hadn't seen the latter for a long time and his happiness was evident from how ruddy his face turned.

Lena was in the palace at that moment as well. As soon as she heard that Rocky had come back, she rushed towards the chamber at once.

Since the emperor's health was degrading, Lena now had to help him deal with government affairs as the Witch of the Holy Dragon Empire. This had kept her extremely busy, and she had found not a single opportunity to visit Rocky in the Crimson City.

Rocky didn't waste any time with pleasantries and came straight to the point. The emperor and Lena were also surprised to hear his proposal. Obviously, they hadn't expected the man to come up with such a bold idea.

"Basil, are you sure you want to do this?" the emperor asked.

"I think it's imperative that we do! Otherwise, the Holy Dragon Empire is going to feel the pains of war very soon," Rocky replied seriously.

"This plan can have far-reaching consequences, and requires a lot of pondering. At the very least, we need to gather the Three Great Generals and a few other high-level officials to discuss this..." the emperor said after thinking for a while.

"I have already sent messages to Chief Bryant and my father-in-law. They should be back here in a few days.” Before leaving the Crimson City, Rocky had dispatched messengers towards Bryant and Lance, asking them to come back to the Imperial City to discuss something important.

"Alright then, we'll talk about it when they arrive. It's rare for you to come back though, so you should stay a few more days," the emperor told Rocky in a benevolent tone.

Rocky nodded.

"By the way, General Marcia, you are here just in time. A few days ago, I heard tell of some clues about the colored pearl. I was going to send someone to the Crimson City to find you but since you're here already...” The emperor turned towards Marcia suddenly.

"Some clues about the colored pearl?" Marcia asked seriously.

"Father, what is the colored pearl?" Rocky was confused.

"General Marcia, haven't you told Basil anything about the holy treasure of the Dragon Master Clan?" The emperor saw that Rocky didn't seem to know anything about the colored pearl. He turned towards Marcia and asked with a frown.

"The holy treasure of the Dragon Master Clan?" Rocky murmured. He recalled that the Witch of the Holy Dragon Empire, whom he had met in the Myriad Spirit Tomb had mentioned such a thing. Furthermore, he had found a mysterious fragment of the same in the treasure box left behind by the Witch.

"Well, I thought that there was no chance of finding it, and I also couldn't do so without Your Majesty's explicit permission. That is the reason I keep quiet.” Marcia shook her head.

"Oh, it's time for him to know about it then. Besides, I'm going to leave the colored pearls we've already collected to Basil anyway, so..." the emperor replied thoughtfully. It looked like he thought he was going to die soon, so he wanted to tell Rocky something important.

"What exactly is this holy treasure of the Dragon Master Clan?" Rocky asked again. Judging by the serious look on the emperor's face, he could tell that whatever it was, the matter was by no means simple!

"Actually, the story is quite long. I'll give you a quick summary. You see, in the beginning, the Holy Dragon Empire had two holy treasures. One of them was the Holy Dragon Bead, which, by the way, is the same bead you have fused with. The other one, is a secret treasure that few know about. It was actually a holy treasure of the Dragon Master Clan, and it was borrowed by the Holy Dragon Empire to open up its territory. Legend has it that the treasure was a legacy of the first patriarch of the clan, and was known to be extremely powerful. The Witches of the previous generations would hand it down and swear to protect it. However, about a hundred years ago, it was lost in an unfortunate accident. Sometime later, word emerged that it wasn't lost, but was actually hidden by the last Witch for some unknown reasons. Unfortunately, before she could be questioned or even captured, the Witch disappeared, and the secret of the treasure was lost forever." The emperor began recounting the tale of the holy treasure’s origin.

"The legacy of the first patriarch of the Dragon Master Clan? What happened later?" Rocky asked, raising his eyebrows.

"It's a very long story. The short version is that several years later, the Witch suddenly brought back the holy treasure and sealed it in a forbidden area of the royals. She died soon after. But before she left the world, she told us a small clue about the whereabouts of the treasure. She said that if we wanted to find it, we needed to find all the colored pearls that she had hidden in nine treasure boxes. She also gave us a few clues about these nine treasure boxes,” the emperor continued. "Hang on. So the Witch who hid the holy treasure and the one who brought it back are the same person?” The truth was, Rocky already knew the rest of the story. What was more, the emperor's tale proved to him that the Witch of the Holy Dragon Empire whom he had seen in the Myriad Spirit Tomb was the same person as the one who had possessed the spirit of Lena. The latter event had taken place when they went to the royal forbidden area to take out the spiritual treasure of the Dragon Master Clan. This also implied one more thing. The Witch who had possessed Lena had told him something about the mystery of the spiritual race and the Divine Spiritual Source. If all these stories about the holy treasure were true, then so should be the stories that this Witch had told them!
