Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master -
Chapter 1287 The Heavenly Demon Clan's Invitation
Rocky and Lena entered the royal family's forbidden area as soon as they received permission from the royal family's several elders. Soon, they walked into the mysterious hall where the Holy Dragon Empire's Witches had been buried.
They studied the sarcophagi that were placed in a row, and Lena pointed to one of them. "Hmn... I think this is the one," she said, nodding at Rocky.
As soon as Rocky got Lena's confirmation, he walked closer to the sarcophagus and knelt on one knee, whispering,
"I'm sorry that I have to offend you." After saying that, he reached out his hands and pushed the sarcophagus open. He saw a beautiful woman lying in there with a serene expression. Although she has been dead for a long time, she looked as if she was just asleep, and not a single part of her had rotted. This woman was the Witch of the Holy Dragon Empire who had hidden the Dragon Master Clan's holy treasure and left some clues about the Myriad Spirit Tomb.
At that point, Lena reached her hand into the sarcophagus, took out the last colored pearl from the belt around the waist of the Witch, and handed it to Rocky.
Rocky took it at once, and brought out the circular gold box where he had kept eight colored pearls. Then, he put the new one he had just obtained into the last groove. When it was in place, the nine colored pearls placed in a circle started shining vividly.
The next moment, the nine colored pearls floated up in the air and spun continuously. A light chain connected each pearl, and then they suddenly shrank and collided with each other in the blink of an eye.
The dazzling light that illuminated the whole hall blinded Rocky and Lena, so they couldn't help reaching out to cover their eyes. They could only open their eyes when the light had dissipated, but the nine colored pearls had disappeared with it. In its place, an entrance similar to that of a Magic Spiritual Space had opened in front of them.
"Wait for me here,” Rocky instructed Lena before he entered the portal by himself.
A moment later, he came out with an incomplete mask in his hand. The upper left half of the mask, the part of the left eye, was missing. It was the holy treasure of the Dragon Master Clan—the Holy Mask. However, there was something strange about it. The Holy Mask looked like an ordinary mask at the moment, and there was no sign of an aura that would show its special power. It didn't look powerful at all, which was rather strange. According to the legends, the Holy Mask had a very strong power. It could grant a human being unimaginable power, making him or her almost invincible as if they possessed supernatural power.
"Why is this mask missing a part?" Lena immediately asked when she glanced at the incomplete Holy Mask.
"I don't know, but we'd better get out of here before we talk about it. Let's go,” urged Rocky, shaking his head at Lena. Although he didn't know why the Holy Mask was divided into two parts, there must be a reason. He didn't tell Lena, but he was certain that the mask’s missing part was the eye-shaped fragment he found in the Myriad Spirit Tomb back then.
Seeing that Rocky wasn't worried about the Holy Mask’s missing piece, Lena realized that he was hiding something from her. However, she had to leave the forbidden area with Rocky before interrogating him about it.
"Lena, you can go back to the Palace City first. I have something else to do!" After saying that to Lena, Rocky summoned Ken and flew away without waiting for her response.
'What on earth is Basil hiding from me?’ Lena could not help but wonder, worrying as she watched Rocky's figure disappear from her sight.
After flying out of Dragon Valley, Rocky found a remote and desolated mountain, where he chose to land. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he opened his Magic Spiritual Space and commanded the three beasts to stand guard outside. He went to the laboratory and took out the fragment he had stored inside, which he then put together with the incomplete Holy Mask. However, nothing happened.
"This Holy Mask should be a spiritual treasure with strong power, but it has no power in it at all. Is it because it is no longer complete? I wonder if I could repair this Holy Mask. What could I use to fix it? If the Holy Lord were here, he might have a way to fix it. But I don't know when I can meet him again..." Rocky scratched his chin as he thought about it, looking at the Holy Mask dejectedly. It looked like it was defective, even though the two parts had been pieced together.
After putting away the defective Holy Mask, Rocky left his Magic Spiritual Space and asked the three beasts to come back. Then, he returned to the Crimson City.
Just as he returned to Crimson City, Sabina, Lucilla, and Erica, who had gone to the Thunder Master Clans remains to look for clues about the legendary guardian beast of the Thunder Master Clan, also came back.
"Have you found any clues?" Rocky asked them.
"Although we haven't found any clues, we have found something else, which might be able to help us," Sabina replied at once.
"Basil, we suspect that the Thunder Master Clan is not completely extinct. In an underground cave of the clan's remains, Lucilla and I found a few bodies that should be the members of the clan. Judging from the degree their bodies decayed, it can't be more than twenty years. But it is said that the Thunder Master Clan has been completely extinct long ago. Now, it seems that some descendants of the clan are still alive, and they have been living below the remains until they moved away later,” Sabina added.
"Really? So, are you saying the legendary guardian beast of the clan was in the hands of their descendants?” Rocky said with a frown.
"That's possible. We planned to tell you first; that's why we came back. After this, we plan to continue to look for the descendants of the clan separately. We also found some names in that underground cave, which could be locations where the clan's descendants had settled,” added Sabina.
"Well, if you can find the legendary guardian beast, remember to collect some blood essence for me. However, you have to be careful. Don't push yourselves too hard," Rocky warned them after nodding his head in permission.
The three women nodded as well. As long as they could help him, they would do anything they could. They would be with him through thick and thin!
On the second day, Sabina and the other two women left Crimson City as soon as they finished their preparations. They began their journey to find the Thunder Master Clan's descendants and the legendary guardian beast.
The three women didn't expect that when they came back, everything had changed!
Just as the three women had set out, Marcia arrived in a hurry. She had with her an invitation from the Heavenly Demon Clan's patriarch, who had invited Rocky to attend the meeting of the spiritual race. Just as its name implied, only the spiritual race could participate in this meeting. It was very peculiar that they would invite Rocky, for he was just human, and they tended to think that humans were below them. However, the reason was very simple—Rocky had the spiritual treasures that all clans of the spiritual race wanted to have.
"Why would the Heavenly Demon Clan hold such a meeting?" Rocky asked with a stern look.
"It's about the calamity beasts. It seems that the Heavenly Demon Clan wants to unite with all the clans of the spiritual race in the Wild Spirit Land to deal with the calamity beasts,” Marcia replied. "So, what does that have to do with me?" Rocky sneered.
"Well, in addition to the Dragon Master Clan's spiritual treasure, you also have the spiritual treasure of the Water Master Clan in your hands. Considering that dealing with the calamity beasts needs the power of the spiritual treasures, I don't think it's strange that the Heavenly Demon Clan invited you," analyzed Marcia.
