"What kind of gene did you use to breed the new species this time, Basil?" Isis asked at once.
"I bred them from the Dark Magic Insect, and Marcia's legendary guardian beast, the Holy-blood
Dragon King," Rocky said with a small smile.
Three months ago, Rocky attempted to use Marcia's legendary guardian beast to carry out artificial
reproduction. He thought that it was best to use the Holy-blood Dragon King, considering that it was
equivalent to an ancient spiritual beast. If the artificial reproduction became a success, then there was
a huge probability that its descendants might also have the bloodline of the Holy-blood Dragon King.
Afterwards, Rocky compared the genes of many spirit-manipulated beasts with the Holy-blood Dragon
King's, hoping to find the one with the highest matching rate. After getting the results, he was surprised
to find out that the genetic matching rate between the Holy-blood Dragon King and the Dark Magic
Insect was very high.
With that, the process of artificial reproduction carried out smoothly, making three months' worth of
efforts worthwhile.
Needless to say, performing large-scale experiments for a long time had positively influenced Rocky's
success on this project. Since the establishment of the Genome Research Institute in the Crimson City,
Rocky had been using the resources of the beast hospitals he had built both in the Timber Deity
Empire and the Holy Dragon Empire to improve the gene pool and the urgenome of the spirit-
manipulated beasts. After acquiring the data he needed, he had established a genome comparison
system based on the resources. This system was made to ensure the success rate of genetic
reproduction so that they would spend less time performing impossible experiments and reduce all
unnecessary expenditures.
During this time, Rocky had achieved great success in genetic reproduction. He was proud of all his
work, especially after the birth of these spirit-manipulated beasts of the legendary beast level. Not only
could these beasts produce treasures, but they were also proof of the genetic reproduction's power.
Moreover, the descendants of the Dark Heaven Insects and the Fire Rock Turtles, also known as the
Dark Fire Insect Turtles, and the Dark Magic Insects that Rocky transformed before were also entering
the stage of adulthood. Meanwhile, the three Dark Heaven Insects had all reached the third grade of
the three-star level and could now lay the high-grade Dark Heaven Eggs.
So did the three Dark Magic Insects. With that being said, they could lay the top-grade Dark Heaven
Eggs, which could be regarded as medium grade rare treasures. The Dark Fire Insect Turtles, on the
other hand, were at the five-star level. Even when they were at the two-star level, they could already
produce low-level treasures at the top grade. In fact, one of them had just broken through the four-star
level not long ago, and it could produce the black crystals with the similar quality of the top-grade Dark
Heaven Eggs. Moreover, they could also be ranked among the medium grade rare treasures. If the
Dark Fire Insect Turtles were upgraded to the five-star level, then they should be able to produce the
medium grade rare treasures.
Of course, if an ordinary spirit-manipulated beast grew at its usual speed, then it would take a lot of
time for it to grow to the five-star level.
Since Rocky was able to create spiritual crystals, it would be easier for him to raise the spirit-
manipulated beasts. Furthermore, Uriah's rebirth meant that it could produce magical saliva again,
which surely would aid in the spirit-manipulated beasts' speedy growth and development.
Two months ago, Rocky used the Dark Heaven Insect and the Fire Rock Turtle to create a nest of Dark
Fire Insect Turtles successfully. In addition, with the newly born spirit-manipulated beasts of the
legendary beast level, Rocky's team of treasure producing spirit-manipulated beasts grew larger and
larger.
Apart from the great success in genetic technology, Rocky had also made significant progress in the
experiments of genetic modification and the power strengthening of the spirit-manipulated beasts.
On the other hand, Isis' and the other women's spirit-manipulated beasts had also been under Rocky's
genetic modification, therefore, improving their abilities. Despite not being able to reach the level of the
guardian beast as a whole due to their natural ability limits, they could reach this level in their
respective characteristics and advantages. Meaning to say, they were also very strong.
"So, have you thought of a name for them, Basil? I thought I would never live to see the day that I get
to see a group of spirit-manipulated beasts of the legendary beast level. I am excited to see the kind of
rare treasure they can produce in the future," Lucilla couldn't help but exclaim in enthusiasm.
"I have an idea for the name; just hear me out. Since this creature is the descendant of the dragon
beast and the insect beast, and today is also Nigel's birthday, why don't we call it the Nigel Dragon
Insect? How does that sound?" Rocky replied immediately.
"No, absolutely not," the three women rejected with one voice. "The name is so unpleasant to my ears.
Would you really want me to associate Nigel with an insect?" one of them protested further.
Meanwhile, Nigel also began to babble gibberish, as if he understood what was happening. At that
moment, it appeared that he was complaining that his father had given a name that was too unpleasant
to hear.
"Oh, okay. Got it. No problem. After all, the most important thing about it is its value and not its name,"
Rocky replied with a little smirk.
Ever since they moved to the Crimson City, Rocky had started to cultivate together with the several
women, including Marcia. Everyone thought that Marcia was being too kind when she decided to share
the power of the Dragon Sarira with other women during the cultivation. As a result, their strength had
increased dramatically in less than a year. Now, they had already reached the Divine Stage. Apart from
Marcia's generosity, the rare treasures produced by the spirit-manipulated beasts that Rocky had
cultivated also played a huge role in their power improvement.
Meanwhile, Marcia had refined at least 30% of the power of the Dragon Sarira, giving her the strength
of a spiritual master at the third grade at least.
Also, Rocky did not let time slip away without doing anything. At that time, he had merged the evil
power of the Holy Dragon Bead into the seventh layer, granting him the strength at the seventh grade
of the Divine Stage.
Now that he had developed his strength to new heights, only a few people in the Holy Dragon Empire
could defeat him.
After the small talk, Rocky and the women strolled for a little while. Soon after, they left the delivery
room of the greenhouse and returned to the Crimson Chamber in the Crimson City.
The Crimson Chamber was built in a span of three months right after the establishment of the Genome
Research Institute. Rocky didn't plan to build it originally, but since he was Prince Crimson of the Holy
Dragon Empire now, he couldn't live in a shabby place. The emperor insisted on building it for him,
which actually cost a lot of manpower and material resources. However, the Holy Dragon Empire was
rich in finances and many kinds of resources, making the whole cost of the chamber practically next to
nothing.
As soon as Rocky and his women returned to the Crimson Chamber, Rocky received a secret message
from the emperor.
"What's with the look, Basil? Is something wrong?" Isis and the other women asked him when they
noticed Rocky's face turn serious upon reading the letter.
"It appears that we need to go back to the Imperial City as soon as possible." Rocky put away the
secret letter and gave the women a solemn look.
The three women exchanged looks with one another. Judging from the expression on Rocky's face,
they knew that the past few months' peace had finally come to an end.
Soon after, Rocky asked his master, Sheridan to be in charge of his work in the Genome Research
Institute. A month after establishing the institute, Sheridan had paid several visits to the Crimson City to
get free meals. He claimed that he wanted to get along with his disciple and strengthen their bonding,
yet, in fact, he was there because of his curiosity about Rocky's genetic technology. Therefore, during
this time, Sheridan had been wandering around the Genome Research Institute, getting as much
information as he needed. Moreover, with his professional strength, it was natural for him to learn the
genetic technology in a snap. After mastering a lot of technology, he would also do his own genetic
research for fun sometimes.
After preparing for the trip, Rocky, along with the three women, and Nigel, immediately left and headed
for the Imperial City.
