"I didn't think they'd fall behind us! These senior disciples must not be much of a big deal!" Eunice
mocked the newly arrived disciples with a cold smile.
At this moment, the most powerful disciple came forward. He had reached the advanced stage of the
Spiritual Infant, and he had a commanding air about him. The man said in a domineering tone, "I can't
believe you three got through the Peculiar Beast Island so quickly. It seems that you are pretty lucky.
However, your luck and strength won't be enough to get you past this Mysterious Spirit Lion. But don't
worry. I am willing to give you a chance. If you are willing to work with us, you can get through its
defense together with us, and we'll also allow you to cultivate with us..."
"How are we supposed to work with you?" Eunice asked after casting an uncertain glance in Rocky's
direction.
"The Mysterious Spirit Lion can launch the Mysterious Spirit Array, and that array can absorb any kind
of spiritual skill. Usually, only spirit warriors at the Emperor Realm can break the array. That is why we
can't break the Mysterious Spirit Array on our own. That's where you come in. The Mysterious Spirit
Lion has a weakness—it has to gather all of its spiritual power to use the Mysterious Spirit Array. If
someone could willingly sacrifice himself by attacking the lion's spiritual power gathering point with all
his strength, others may have a chance to destroy the Mysterious Spirit Array. To be safe, at least two
people are needed to work together on this. Three people would work better. That's why I think you
three can do it," explained the most powerful disciple.
"Excuse me? Are you saying you want us to sacrifice ourselves to help you achieve your goal?" Eunice
asked with an appalled frown, as she had quickly figured out what he meant. These senior disciples
didn't really want to help them!
They just wanted to use the three of them, so they could complete this very dangerous matter and take
credit, as they didn't want to take the risk themselves. "Well, if you succeed at once, then at least two of
you can go through the Mysterious Spirit Array.
Isn't that a pretty good result?" added the most powerful disciple, who was still trying to trick them.
"Forget it! Even if we couldn't cross through the bridge, we won't let you take advantage of us," snorted
Eunice.
Carla nodded in agreement as her face darkened in anger.
"Since you don't appreciate my kindness, don't blame me if you get stuck in here! I promise you, you
won't be able to pass by yourselves," declared the most powerful disciple in a cold voice.
"Really? Then you can just sit back and watch, as we go through the Mysterious Spirit Lion. We're just
wasting time standing around here anyway," sneered Rocky, who had been silent all this time.
He initially intended to remain silent, but he couldn't help but talk back to the other party because he
despised people like them very much. Plus, he didn't want to waste any more time in such a place. At
this point, all he wanted to do was help Eunice complete the task as soon as possible, so he could rely
on her to get the information about Marcia and the others. After that, he could finally go and find them.
Thus, Rocky impatiently walked past the most powerful disciple, who had reached the advanced stage
of the Spiritual Infant, and he headed straight to the Mysterious Spirit Lion. As soon as the other senior
disciples realized what he was planning to do, they began to shame him and called him names. They
all thought that Rocky didn't know what he was doing and was rushing to his own grave.
In the blink of an eye, Rocky had approached the lion and met its eyes without an ounce of fear.
The lion seemed to be a little unhappy because Rocky appeared to be challenging it. After all, it had
always despised humans, and no human should dare to disrespect it and live.
The next moment, the lion let out a resounding roar and lifted one of its claws, intending to pounce on
Rocky.
When Eunice and Carla saw this, all the blood disappeared from their faces, which made them look
pale as newly fallen snow.
"That arrogant guy is dead meat!" The most powerful disciple gave a smug laugh.
Unexpectedly, the Mysterious Spirit Lion's claw paused in midair, and its whole body trembled
inexplicably at the same time.
Rocky was beneath its claw, but his eyes were emitting a ray of strange red light, as a purple light
enveloped his whole body. It was as if some immense power was about to emerge.
Even the Mysterious Spirit Lion that had broken through to the advanced stage of the Spiritual Infant
looked frightened of Rocky's power. Judging from that, this power must be exceedingly terrifying!
"Get out of my way!" In the next breath, Rocky roared an order at the beast.
The Mysterious Spirit Lion hesitated for a moment, and then it suddenly lowered its head like a docile
sheep and moved away. It slowly got out of Rocky's path, submissively giving way.
All those who had witnessed this were floored. No one knew how Rocky managed to order the lion, and
it actually obeyed him and made way for them. How strong was he that he could order around a beast
as powerful as the Mysterious Spirit Lion?
"What are you waiting for? Let's go!" Rocky calmly turned around and said to Eunice and Carla.
The two women were too shocked to move at first, but they soon rushed to Rocky's side. The three
disciples smoothly passed through the massive arc stone and entered the Spiritual Sea Region
together.
Meanwhile, the most powerful disciple wanted to seize this opportunity to sneak past the Mysterious
Spirit Lion. He rushed over in the blink of an eye. But as he was about to pass, the lion promptly waved
its claw and caught him, throwing him back a great distance away. The ambitious disciple fell on the
ground awkwardly, his face covered with dust.
The other senior disciples didn't dare to try the same thing. They could only watch as Rocky and his
companions passed through the arc stone and reached the other end, their eyes burning with envy.
Once Rocky and the others stepped foot inside the Spiritual Sea Region, they were met by another
peculiar view. There was a large amount of spiritual power flowing above them like a rippling sea. The
trees around them also looked quite odd and bore different kinds of strange fruits.
"I heard that the fruits in the Spiritual Sea Region are all spiritual fruits. If you eat one of them, you can
replenish the spiritual power you have lost," shared Eunice. As she spoke, she picked one and took a
bite, intending to show herself as an example. In an instant, she felt a stream of spiritual power flow
through her body, and she felt suddenly refreshed.
"Miss Carla, we have to do something private. If possible, please wait for us here. But if you don't want
to wait for us, that's fine. We won't force you to stay," uttered Rocky bluntly.
"I chose to team with you because I believed you could bring me to the Spiritual Sea Region. Now that
we are here, I can do the rest of the work myself. You can go ahead and do your business. See you
later!" Carla smirked slyly at Rocky as a blinding light suddenly flashed. When Eunice and Rocky
opened their eyes, Carla was gone.
"The woman is so despicable. She just left after taking advantage of you. She is going too far!"
grumbled Eunice bitterly.
"Do you want me to call her back here?" Rocky asked with a teasing grin on his face.
"No! Forget it. Let's do what we have to do now!" Eunice immediately rejected the idea, shaking her
head fervently.
"Can you tell me more about our mission now?" asked Rocky, his arms crossed tightly over his chest.
"Our mission is to find a stolen divine treasure, which was said to be hidden here in the Spiritual Sea
Region. It is called the Army-blessing Scroll, which was originally owned by the Di Clan.
It's an incredibly rare treasure that can provide divine power to protect thousands of troops on
battlefields. The Di Clan has been looking for it for many years, but it wasn't until recently that they
confirmed that this divine treasure had really been stolen and hidden somewhere here in the Spiritual
Sea Region. However, no one knows where it is. So the Di Clan believes that this divine treasure
should still be in the Spiritual Sea Region," explained Eunice.
"But this region is so vast. How are we supposed to look for it here? It'll be like looking for a needle in a
haystack!" Rocky shook his head.
"Don't worry about that. When the Army-blessing Scroll was stolen, a page was left behind. We can
use that." While she spoke, Eunice brought out a roll of parchment from her pocket. When she
unfolded it, a shiny golden page emerged. Rocky didn't know what material it was made of, as it looked
like a piece of paper, but it contained rather potent spiritual power. And that was just a single page!
Rocky could only imagine how amazing the scroll could be if they managed to complete it.
