Upon hearing this voice, the leaders of each of the spiritual race clans immediately turned their heads
to see where this voice was coming from. At that moment, all of them were surprised to see a beautiful
woman from the spiritual race. This woman, whose beauty was no inferior to Jill's, filled the hall with
elegance as she walked with poise.
"And who might you be?" a patriarch asked in curiosity as he raised an eyebrow.
"I'm Cherry, the matriarch of the Butterfly Divine Clan! It is nice to finally meet all of you in the same
room," Cherry replied as her beautiful and piercing eyes narrowed.
"You must be joking! The Butterfly Divine Clan had been extinct for nearly five hundred years. How
could you possibly be the matriarch of this clan?" one of the clan leaders argued. At that point, Cherry's
words seemed to have caused confusion in the hall. The leaders could not help but discuss loudly
among themselves how ludicrous Cherry's claim was.
"We have successfully revived our clan, and we are gathering again. In fact, we already have the
spiritual treasure and the legendary guardian beast with us," Cherry said in a sweet and gentle voice
without changing her calm expression.
Soon after, all the leaders looked at each other. They didn't expect that the Butterfly Divine Clan had
secretly been reborn. On top of that, they not only obtained their spiritual treasure but also found the
reincarnation of their legendary guardian beast.
"Patriarch Townsend, if you continue to let these patriarchs make things more difficult for Prince
Crimson, the Phoenix Master Clan will retract our agreement and not accompany you anymore. And
besides, our clan is already powerful enough to protect ourselves without your help. However, I can't
speak for the other clans." Jill also stood up from her seat and expressed her support in defending
Rocky.
"Just so that everyone knows, Prince Crimson has helped our Wood Clan on so many occasions, and I
hope that you will treat him with the respect he deserves. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to gather
the nine spiritual treasures," the patriarch of the Wood Clan reminded as he looked at all the other
patriarchs around him.
As a matter of fact, the other patriarchs did not expect that even the entire Phoenix Master Clan and
the Wood Clan favored Rocky. Moreover, they never knew that he was that much of an influential
person.
At the same time, Townsend's face darkened a little. He immediately changed the expression on his
face and said, "To be honest, I believe in the moral character of Prince Crimson. Since the Butterfly
Divine Clan, the Phoenix Master Clan, and the Wood Clan also believe in his words of integrity, then I
don't think that there should be any problem at all."
On the contrary, Rocky's eyes suddenly became cold after he saw Townsend abruptly change his views
according to the situation. Not long after, he gave Marcia and Cherry a nod and left with them, leaving
every single patriarch in the hall bewildered.
"Basil, are you sure about this? Are you really going to give them the two spiritual treasures?" Marcia
immediately asked as soon as they left the hall.
"All I know is that now, our topmost priority is to deal with the calamity beasts. This means we can't be
too reserved at this time," Rocky replied and gave a little smile.
"But we still have no idea what will happen once the nine spiritual treasures gather together! And
besides, we can't just follow Townsend's plan blindly. I have a feeling that this might just be Townsend's
conspiracy..." Obviously, Cherry didn't believe in Townsend.
"There's nothing we can do as of now but wait and see where this plan will take us," Rocky said with a
severe look on his face. He hoped that he could gather all the nine spiritual treasures together. In this
way, he would have the chance to bring together the Divine Spiritual Source. In addition, he was also
aware that gathering the power of nine spiritual treasures was not enough to deal with the calamity
beasts. If what Holy Lord said was true, then he would have to gather the complete Divine Spiritual
Source first. This would only happen if he succeeded in obtaining the other half of the Divine Spiritual
Source by the power of nine legendary guardian beasts.
But in the meantime, it was impossible to collect the power of the nine legendary guardian beasts.
Therefore, since Rocky had the opportunity to get the first half of the Divine Spiritual Source gathered
by the nine spiritual treasures, he would most certainly not let it go. Without a doubt, he was also aware
that he was not the only one who was after the Divine Spiritual Source. In fact, his enemy was not only
the patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Clan, but also all the spiritual race clans in the entire Wild Spirit
Land.
Based on the resolution that the spiritual race made after their meeting, all the spiritual race clans
under the leadership of the Heavenly Demon Clan had formed a group of elite and powerful forces.
Ten days later, the elite forces of the spiritual race assembled in the Divine Burial Valley. Among the
elite forces that were present, it appeared that the members from the Heavenly Demon Clan dominated
the assembly. Sending more than a thousand capable members, they included more than twenty
powerful ordinary spiritual beings in their roster. On the other hand, the Phoenix Master Clan, the Wood
Clan, the Ghost Master Clan, and the Giants Clan all sent several hundred members each, while the
rest of the spiritual race clans sent roughly about three hundred members. At that moment, every
spiritual race clan sent out at least one spiritual master, making the entire group flooded with many
powerful masters.
Meanwhile, Rocky was a man of his word as he kept his promise. At that time, he, Cherry, and Marcia
all showed up together in the Divine Burial Valley.
When Rocky and the two women arrived, their eyes widened in surprise upon finding Alyssa there.
"What brings you here?" Rocky asked with a slight frown the moment he saw Alyssa.
"Well, I figured that you would come here, so I asked the patriarch's permission to allow me to be here."
Her thought showed between the lines. Surely, she also knew that Rocky would eventually become the
target of all the spiritual race clans for owning two spiritual treasures. Knowing this by heart, she was
anxious about his situation. As a matter of fact, she would rather let go of the important affairs in the
Timber Deity Empire than put Rocky's life in danger.
"You didn't have to come. It's unnecessary. I can protect Basil well," Marcia, who was beside Rocky,
said calmly. However, she showed some signs of hostility towards Alyssa at that time.
"I know that for sure. But still, I want to see him in person to make sure he's okay," Alyssa explained in
the same manner.
As soon as she said her words, the two women instantly exchanged cold looks at each other.
Rocky, on the other hand, witnessed this and could only shake his head in disbelief and smile bitterly.
"I never knew a man who is as lucky as you are, Prince Crimson. A princess and a general? Oh, come
on. They have become so tit-for-tat for you! People will surely be jealous of you when they see this little
act going on." A soft voice rang out beside Rocky. Turning around, he saw Jill walking towards his side.
"You must be joking, Matriarch Jill," Rocky replied with a little laugh.
"You don't have to be modest around me. If you asked me, I'd say that any woman will be attracted by
an excellent man like you, Prince Crimson." Jill gave him a compliment and winked at him.
In that instant, Alyssa and Marcia saw that Jill had taken advantage of their row and slithered into
seducing Rocky again. As a result, they immediately reached an agreement to pull him from both his
sides and drag him away from Jill as far as possible.
During noon, the army of the spiritual race set out for their first destination, the Great Eagle Empire,
which was located in the northwest of the Wild Spirit Land. Just a few days ago, the Great Eagle
Empire had been savagely attacked by a calamity beast that was able to control thunder and lightning.
With the whole empire falling into chaos and panic, many towns had been razed to the ground along,
with countless casualties. The Great Eagle Empire was the closest empire to the Divine Burial Valley,
making the calamity beast the first target of them to deal with.
Three days after, the army of the spiritual race arrived at the Great Eagle Empire. During that time,
more than half of the empire had already been wrecked, leaving an unspeakable amount of scorched
soil everywhere. Everything was killed and destroyed wherever this beast passed. Anyone who
witnessed the scene would surely get chills creeping down their spine.
The army followed the traces left by the calamity beast all the way until finally, they found the beast in a
city south of the Great Eagle Empire, which was now reduced to rubble.
The calamity beast was like a tiger. It had a body that shone with thunderous radiance and was as
huge as the beast that appeared in the Water Beast Sea, but more powerful and ferocious. There was
constant thunder radiance that beamed within ten meters around its body, creating a strong destructive
force that disintegrated everything it touched.
