Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 457 Master of Treasure Hunting

As Rocky entered the Myriad Beasts Ground, his purpose for being there started to become even clearer. He did not embark on this journey simply for his growth or for him to arrive at the second grade of the Heavenly Stage. He also wanted to collect rare treasures. He knew that, while rare treasures wouldn't help him ascend evil spiritual power, it would help him increase Fire spiritual power. He experienced this a while back — his Fire spiritual power was able to reach the fifth grade of the Earthly Stage after he was able to refine an intermediate and a superior Dark Heaven Egg. However, he still had a long way to go before his Fire spiritual power reached the Heavenly Stage. Therefore, he was committed to promoting the Fire spiritual power to the Heavenly Stage to strengthen the power of the Evil Flame.

There were countless of rare treasures in the Wild Spirit Land, but all of them could be classified into four levels: primary level, medium level, premium level, and rare level. Among which, the Dark Heaven Egg could be classified within the primary level. Similarly, the Heaven Divine Lotus Seed and the Water Essence Pill — both previously obtained by Rocky — were also on the same level.

Rocky wasn't able to retrieve a lot of rare treasures. Only the spiritual power Ice Crystal which he acquired in the cave of the Ghostly Ice Fox-wolf could be considered a rare treasure of significant value. It was one of the best among the primary level treasures. Unfortunately, the spiritual power Ice Crystal was only one year or so years old at the time of Rocky's retrieval from the cave. If it were any older, it would have been much more valuable.

Apart from that, Rocky also had the superior Dark Heaven Egg which was born from the Dark Heaven Insect — a creature with a body designed to create rare treasures. It was also considered as one of the best treasures in the primary level. On the other hand, the spirit-manipulated beasts like Ghostly Ice Fox-wolf and Three-tailed Aquatic Lizard just let rare treasures condense in their body. However, in fact, their inner spiritual power was not strong.

At that moment, the Ice Crystal had the same spiritual power as the superior Dark Heaven Egg Rocky had recently acquired. Even if the Dark Heaven Insect did not have many stars to its name, it was made to produce rare treasures thereby making it extremely valuable. Other insects that could not produce their own rare treasures all paled in comparison to it.

With that in mind, Rocky waited for the Dark Heaven Insect Queen to lay its eggs. That way, he could have a whole treasure trove to himself.

But, of course, the Wild Spirit Land also contained other types of rare treasures. There were also many treasures much more advanced than the superior Dark Heaven Egg. Compelled by the idea of rare treasures, Rocky embarked on a journey to the Myriad Beasts Ground in pursuit of treasures more superior than the superior Dark Heaven Egg. After all, if Rocky could acquire more advanced rare treasures, it would benefit his cultivation.

But Rocky's plan was merely wishful thinking for most spirit manipulators. It appeared to be a dream far beyond one's reach. Most spirit manipulators would have been happy with just a primary Dark Heaven Egg. Most would even feel grateful to simply encounter a treasure as rare as the Dark Heaven Egg.

Obtaining rare treasures such as the Dark Heaven Egg required a lot of fortune. It was not an easy task even for masters who had already exceeded the Supernal Stage. But, of course, all this was based on circumstance. For one, Marcia generously gave Rocky some valuable pieces of yellow spiritual crystal when they were both in the Palace City. Marcia did so without any hint of hesitation. Another reason why Rocky seemed ahead of everyone was that he had the aid of the Rainbow Glow Unicorn. With its help, Rocky knew where the treasures were - except for the ones that remained difficult to find. Usually, the better treasures came with greater risks. Rocky was all too familiar with these risks as he once almost lost his life when he retrieved the spiritual power Ice Crystal.

Rocky led the four beasts through the periphery forest of Myriad Beasts Ground. At that point, they bravely navigated the area as they found themselves familiar with the routes. They no longer feared the wild spirit-manipulated beasts which only had two or three stars. In ten minutes, they already found themselves at the end of the forest.

Along the way, Rocky was able to spot a few rare treasures similar to the primary Dark Heaven Egg. He picked them up and planned to give them to Sue as a gift upon his return. To his dismay, he was not able to retrieve treasures similar to the spiritual crystal. It felt like he used up all his luck after he acquired the extremely rare blue spiritual crystal.

At the edge of the forest, one could see the Myriad Beasts Ground. From where Rocky stood, it looked frightening and dangerous. Wild spirit-manipulated beasts populated its land. Almost all of them had three or four stars and they all acted in groups. They looked like they were waiting for a prey they could hunt and kill.

Rocky knew that beyond the edge of the Myriad Beasts Ground, they would encounter more frightening wild spirit-manipulated beasts perhaps with four-star level or even with five-star level. Rocky knew, for example, that he could encounter the five-star Ghostly Ice Fox-wolf which he met previously.

With his current cultivation, Rocky was not sure if he could still make himself go through the edge of the Myriad Beasts Ground safely, not to mention entering into its deeper parts.

Rocky knew better this time. He threaded the outer forest edge carefully and slowly. He watched out for any wild spirit-manipulated beasts that might suddenly appear.

A half hour into their journey, Rocky found himself at the mercy of Bloody-eyed Wolves - a beast considered to be at the third grade of the three-star level. If they were considered as a spirit manipulator, Rocky knew that they would have been as strong as one who was at the seventh grade of the Earthly Stage.

Rocky shivered at the memory of his last encounter with Bloody-eyed Wolves - an encounter wherein he almost lost his life. When he was attempting to rescue the little Ghostly Ice Fox-wolf, he found himself almost in the mouth of the Bloody-eyed Wolves. Fortunately for him, a strange- looking yet powerful woman came to his rescue. The woman possessed the physical features of human beings, yet something about her obviously made her seem beyond human. 'If she wasn't human, what was she?" Rocky wondered curiously.

So when Rocky found himself faced with four Bloody-eyed Wolves yet again, a familiar anger swelled inside him. He was fuelled with rage and so he quickly drew out the Frozen Wind Dagger and infused spiritual powers in it. In an instant, the Frozen Wind Dagger transformed into a Flaming Blade.

Uriah and Rubygon stood fiercely beside Rocky, ready to fight. Rainbow Glow Unicorn grabbed the little Ghostly Ice Fox-wolf to the back of the show and awaited for their cue to attack.

"Go!" Rocky signaled. Rocky slashed the Flaming Blade of Frozen Wind Dagger in his hand. For every move, a trail of smoke would follow the blade. Uriah and Rubygon lunged forward, each taking on one of the four Bloody-eyed Wolves. They attacked with their utmost power.
