Meanwhile, Rocky's stories were quite popular among everyone in the Wild Spirit Land. His adventures
caught the spiritual race's attention and got them curious as to what the young Prince Crimson of the
Holy Dragon Empire was like. The news that Rocky had lifted the curses from both Marcia and Alyssa
especially piqued everyone's interest.
"What can I say? I'm flattered," Rocky replied easily.
"Preceptor Felicia, may we know why you brought Prince Crimson here?" the matriarch of the Phoenix
Master Clan asked at once as she placed her eyes at Felicia.
"I heard that the Phoenix Master Clan's legendary guardian beast is in danger, and even you and the
other elders do not know how to help the beast. Therefore, I thought that maybe we can let Prince
Crimson have a try..." Felicia replied directly.
"Preceptor Felicia, let me remind you that this is our clan's own business, and the last thing we need is
outsiders meddling with our internal matters. Furthermore, even we can't find a solution. How can we
expect a mere human to help us with our problem?" one of the elders interrupted and questioned with
an unforgiving face.
Hearing this argument, the other elders and the ordinary spiritual beings also nodded in agreement. To
them, Prince Crimson's power was not important, for he was still nothing but an insignificant human.
They believed that since the spiritual race could not find a way, then the much weaker humans would
most likely have no chance at all.
Despite hearing these doubts, Rocky remained calm, as his eyes were fixed at the matriarch all the
time.
Meanwhile, the matriarch looked right into Rocky's eyes and said thoughtfully, "Perhaps, we can let him
have a try."
Hearing this brought a shock to the faces of the elders and the ordinary spiritual beings. It was out of
their expectation that their matriarch would even consider giving this human a chance.
"Are you certain you can cure the beast?" the matriarch asked Rocky earnestly.
"I can't say for sure until I get a closer look at it," Rocky responded candidly.
"Matriarch, are you really sure you want this human to..." A surprised spiritual master raised the
question immediately with her voice full of disbelief.
The other elders and the ordinary spiritual beings also stood up and exchanged looks of disapproval.
"But we have tried many methods, and none of them worked. How can we just sit still and wait for
death to claim our beloved beast?" the matriarch said in disappointment. The clock was ticking, and the
seal on the beast would lose its effect soon. If they couldn't figure out a way to save it, they would be
facing some unimaginable consequences.
"But matriarch, how in the world can a human cure it? In addition, he might spread the news about the
existence of our legendary guardian beast. If the news goes out, it will be absolutely detrimental to our
entire clan," an elder questioned.
After the elder raised her concern, the whole hall began to burst with skeptical voices.
On the other hand, Rocky was able to hear all of their concerns regarding his abilities and his identity.
However, he chose to stay calm amidst their judgment against him.
"Enough! Silence," the matriarch shouted after having enough of doubts from the elders.
At once, everyone stopped talking, and the entire hall fell into silence.
"Nevertheless, let him have a try." In fact, the matriarch didn't place much hope on Rocky, but it
seemed that she just didn't want to give up. After all, it was not easy to obtain a legendary guardian
beast, so they really needed to do everything in their power to save it.
At that moment, all the members of the Phoenix Master Clan, including the three spiritual masters
belittled Rocky for being human, as they believed that humans were as negligible as ants. Little did
they know that Rocky was no longer considered to be an ordinary human to a certain extent.
"Elder Sylvia, take him to see the legendary guardian beast. Bring no one except him," the matriarch
ordered an elder of the clan.
Soon after, the elder stood up and walked towards Rocky. She glanced at Rocky and said indifferently,
"Follow me."
Rocky gave a nod to Felicia and Erica, and then followed the elder.
"Walk closely behind me," the elder instructed Rocky. All of a sudden, she disappeared from where she
stood like a gust of wind.
Not long after, Rocky followed the elder and arrived at a cliff somewhere at the end of the east side of
the Phoenix Cloud Mountain. Thick clouds and mist enveloped the cliff, but a large bird's nest could still
be vaguely seen.
At that moment, a phoenix shadow with marvelous aura was seen lying on the nest, which was no
other than the Ice Phoenix Queen.
The queen had swallowed the original soul of the most powerful demonic beast in ancient times.
Although it was temporarily sealed, and the power of the soul remained suppressed, it still had a great
impact on the queen, making the beast more violent and irritable.
The Phoenix Master Clan had tried numerous ways to cure it, but they were still unable to take out the
original soul from its body so that they could suppress it in the Demonic Soul Cauldron.
Thus, when the matriarch found out that Rocky was brought here, she readily gave him a shot. After all,
they had no other choice but to accept help from him or let the beast die. Of course, this decision was
made given the many mysterious things that had happened to Rocky. In the end, Rocky was
established to be a man with a great destiny, so maybe there was a great chance that he might a
create miracle this time.
"The legendary guardian beast has a bad temper. Good luck approaching it," the elder warned as she
opened a gap in the enchanted barrier outside the nest for Rocky to enter.
Rocky raised his eyebrows out of intrigue. Soon after, he passed through the enchanted barrier and
headed for the Ice Phoenix Queen. His body flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he found himself close
to the edge of the nest.
Then, he saw the queen lying in the nest suddenly raised its head. Its eyes were red, and its body
which glowed icy light exuded an extremely cold aura. Seeing the beast, Rocky could clearly feel a very
powerful spiritual power rushing towards him with great momentum.
If he were an ordinary human being, he would have been so frightened and had already taken a step
back. But instead of stepping back, he took another step forward. At the same time, his whole body
glowed with a strange kind of light as he used the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill.
The skill itself was very magical. It was said that after reaching the highest level of the skill, one could
communicate with the spirit-manipulated beasts directly. Although what was in front of him was a
powerful legendary guardian beast, the spirit-manipulated beasts, supernatural beasts and legendary
guardian beasts had the same origin. With that being said, the skill could be applied to all of them.
Meanwhile, the queen sensed the unique aura of the skill released by Rocky. Not long after, the queen
seemed to have slightly calmed down.
With that, Rocky took out the bottle containing the magical saliva, poured a few drops into his palm,
and slowly made his way towards the queen.
The magical saliva was so unique that even the queen couldn't resist the temptation. Soon, the magical
saliva attracted the queen, ignoring the presence of Rocky, who was approaching it.
It was not long after until Rocky had successfully come to the side of the legendary guardian beast.
On the other hand, the elder of the Phoenix Master Clan, who was standing outside the enchanted
barrier, was dumbfounded. Actually, she had never expected that Rocky would come that far as to
approach the Ice Phoenix Queen. Being possessed by the original soul of the most powerful demonic
beast in ancient times, the queen didn't allow anyone near its nest. Otherwise, it would be furious.
Therefore, the elder had every reason to be surprised upon seeing Rocky come as close as one inch
away from the queen.
