Along the way, Rocky found that most of those who came to grab the spiritual treasure were teams
made up of different clans of the spiritual race and the human spirit manipulators sent by their
subsidiary countries. Of course, such units were more powerful and challenging to deal with than
human teams.
Even though the spiritual race couldn't enter the forbidden area where the spiritual treasure was
sealed, they didn't give up, nor did they want to let the humans take it. After all, this was the last
spiritual treasure without an owner. Therefore, every clan of the spiritual race would definitely not let
this extremely rare opportunity pass through their fingers.
In the past, all of the eight spiritual treasures had owners. So, even if the other clans of the spiritual
race wanted to get them, they didn't have much chance. The ninth spiritual treasure was the only
treasure that didn't belong to anyone because the clan that owned it had already been annihilated.
Therefore, no one knew where exactly it was hidden. It was, undoubtedly, a fair competition.
And although the spiritual race members couldn't enter the forbidden area where the spiritual treasure
was sealed, they could at least pin down and obstruct the other treasure raiding teams at the periphery,
which would give their own teams a certain advantage.
Besides, all the subsidiary countries of the spiritual race clans gave their all this time, seeing as they
sent out a lot of powerful spirit manipulators. Many of them were masters at the Supernal Stage and
the Divine Stage.
"Basil, look at that guy. Isn't he a spirit manipulator at the Immortal Stage?" As they passed through a
secret forest, Sabina saw a group of spirit manipulators that were pitching their tents at the coast not
far away. Among them was an older man clothed in yellow. He looked to be at least a hundred years
old, but he still seemed spry and energetic. Their flags revealed that they were from the Myriad Ghosts
Empire.
Rocky stopped as soon as he heard Sabina's curious question. He looked in the direction that Sabina
was pointing at and saw the older man in yellow. Rocky's slack face went taut with tension, but he
didn't say anything and just nodded at her. As Sabina had guessed, the older man in yellow was indeed
a spirit manipulator at the Immortal Stage.
"The Myriad Ghosts Empire is also one of the influential countries in the Wild Spirit Land. It has the
support of several prominent clans of the spiritual race, like the Ghost Master Clan. This time, they
even sent out a spirit manipulator at the Immortal Stage. They must be determined to get the last
spiritual treasure," Sabina commented as her lips tightened with tension.
"Last I heard, the Ghost Master Clan already has their own spiritual treasure. Why do they have to get
involved in this mess?" Lucilla whined almost sullenly.
"It's because they are greedy," grumbled Sabina in response. "There is only one last spiritual treasure
left.
Any clan that wants to gain a firm foothold in the Wild Spirit Land's current situation must get the last
spiritual treasure. Although the Ghost Master Clan already has their own spiritual treasure, it won't be a
bad thing if they somehow obtain one more. After all, one more spiritual treasure means one less
enemy," Rocky analyzed.
"I see." Sabina and Lucilla nodded.
"Let's go." Without further ado, Rocky continued to move forward with the two women.
After that, the three of them found a lot of treasure raiding teams one after another. It seemed that the
smaller clans of the spiritual race had sent them because they weren't very strong, but there were still
three or four of the teams with great strength. Moreover, there were two teams with top masters at the
Immortal Stage.
It could be said that the last battle of treasure raiding would be among the spirit manipulators at the
Immortal Stage, who were already peerless masters in the Wild Spirit Land. There might be
unprecedentedly fierce battles ahead.
Just as the three of them were about to reach the end of the coastline, a large number of treasure
raiding teams, numbering at least three or four hundred people, caught their attention. Among them,
there were not only powerful members of the spiritual race, but also two top masters at the Immortal
Stage. Moreover, one of them was the older man in purple at the Immortal Stage, who had fought with
Rocky in the Butterfly Divine Clan's sacred place to snatch the spiritual treasure of the Butterfly Divine
Clan and the reincarnation pupa of the Nether Butterfly Queen.
"I think the Heavenly Demon Clan sent this treasure raiding team," Rocky remarked with confidence
when he saw the old man in purple.
"The Heavenly Demon Clan again? They already have two spiritual treasures in their hands, but they
are still aiming for the last one? How greedy!" Sabina said with a frown.
"The Heavenly Demon Clan is ambitious. I'm afraid they want more than that. It might be easy to deal
with the treasure raiding teams that we saw earlier, but this team..." Rocky shook his head. He was
here not only to grab the last spiritual treasure but to prevent it from leaving the place where it was
sealed and prevent the last spiritual meridian of the nine spiritual meridians from being unsealed. That
meant they would have to face all the other treasure raiding teams. It was conceivable how dangerous
it was, for they had enemies from all directions.
After exploring the enemy's situation, Rocky and the two women returned to their camp. They gathered
everyone to discuss the next action plan.
"Up until today, we only know that the spiritual treasure has been sealed in the ruins of the Water
Master Clan, and the ruins are in the depths of the Water Beast Sea. However, we don't know where
they are exactly, nor do the other treasure raiding teams. Therefore, the other treasure raiding teams
will definitely wait until the tide rises. But if we do the same, the situation will be extremely
disadvantageous to us. So we have to find the location of the ruins first,"
Rocky said as he looked around.
Hearing this, everyone nodded, as none of them had any objections. "However, the ruins may be very
deep. Not to mention humans, even the spiritual race may not be able to reach them," commented
Marcia.
"It won't be a problem for the spirit-manipulated beasts with Water nature," Shirley chimed in.
"I think so too." Rocky nodded in agreement.
Then, on Rocky's orders, they gathered all the spirit-manipulated beasts and the guardian beasts with
Water nature in the team and sent them deep into the Water Beast Sea to search for the ruins of the
Water Master Clan.
However, since the Water Beast Sea was very vast, it was not easy to find the ruins. Fortunately, the
spirit-manipulated beasts and guardian beasts with Water nature were not subject to any limitations in
water, so the search went very smoothly.
The day before the tide came, they finally found the traces of the ruins of the Water Master Clan.
However, there was also a problem. In order to confirm whether the spiritual treasure was in the ruins
or not, Rocky had to go deep into the bottom of the sea to confirm.
That was not an easy thing to do. At that moment, everyone in the camp was discussing how they
could best deal with this problem.
"The ruins are at least a thousand meters under the water, and they are too far away. Except for the
spirit-manipulated beasts with Water nature, even the spiritual race may not reach them. And even if
they can, it won't be easy to come back. Besides, if we want to enter the ruins, we must find the
entrance. It will take a lot of time," Alyssa analyzed.
Everyone looked at each other, but no one had any idea what to do. That was until someone spoke up.
"It's not that difficult," Rocky said with a calm smile.
