Chapter 1059 The Hidden Spiritual Treasure

"Let's start tracking them!" Allen said firmly. As the head of the Elite Regiment of the Crimson Dragon Army, Allen's tracking ability was beyond doubt.

Rocky also summoned Ken and followed Allen, so as to avoid encountering dangerous spirit- manipulated beasts.

Guided by Allen and Ken, the other three of them —Rocky, Sabina, and Lucilla —began to track Alston's spirit manipulator team, which had entered the Nine-phoenix Demonic Land. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Just as it had been in the Hell of Dragon Fang, the deeper they went into the Nine-phoenix Demonic Land, the more powerful spirit-manipulated beasts they encountered. Fortunately, Rocky and his companions were all above the Supernal Stage. In addition, their spirit-manipulated beasts were stronger than other spirit-manipulated beasts of the same star level, especially Robin and Ken. Along the way, these two spirit-manipulated beasts showed such astonishing strength that even Allen and the two women were shocked.

Therefore, they didn't encounter too many obstacles.

After three days of tracking, the four of them finally found a trace of the spirit manipulator team sent by Alston.

At this moment, the large spirit manipulator team was encamped in a spacious woodland, and a dozen masters at the Heavenly Stage were guarding the camp in turns.

Meanwhile, Rocky and the other three were hiding in the dense grass a hundred meters away from the south side of the camp to observe the movements of the spirit manipulator team.

"This team is much stronger than I thought they would be," Rocky noted in disappointment. After observing them for a while, he had discovered that the Heavenly Stage spirit manipulators sent by

Alston were all royal spirit manipulators with the strength above the medium level of the Heavenly Stage. He also saw several powerful warriors at the Supernal Stage going in and out of the camp. They were all elite forces of the royal family and naturally very strong.

"What is Alston looking for that he sent so many powerful people to find it?" Sabina wondered out loud with a frown.

Rocky sighed internally. He had already had a vague guess of what Alston's motive could be, but after scoping out the spirit manipulator team sent by him, he confirmed his guess. "It seems that he's looking for the spiritual treasure," he said.

"Spiritual treasure?" The three others turned to Rocky with equally puzzled looks on their faces.

"What exactly is the spiritual treasure? I've heard that many countries have sent people to search for the spiritual treasure in the Wild Spirit Land recently," Allen said.

After thinking for a moment, Rocky answered, "I don't know either. But judging from all the information we have so far, Alston seems to be looking for the spiritual treasure, probably on the Dragon Master Clan's orders." If that was the case, everything would make sense.

"I didn't expect that Alston would become a lackey of the spiritual race," Sabina said coldly, curling her lips in displeasure.

"Whatever it is, if Alston is indeed looking for the spiritual treasure, we can't let him get his hands on it." Rocky narrowed his eyes in determination. Although he didn't know what exactly the spiritual treasure was, he knew its importance, so he couldn't let Alston get it. Otherwise, the whole Holy Dragon Empire would be implicated.

"But this spirit manipulator team is very powerful. We may not even have a chance to attack them," Allen pointed out with furrowed eyebrows.

"Prince Basil must have a way," Lucilla said immediately, glancing at Rocky with a knowing smile. She had known him for so long that she was confident in his abilities. And just as she had expected, Rocky already had a plan.

"There is a good chance that the spiritual treasure is guarded by an extremely powerful guardian beast. Even if it is not guarded by a guardian beast, it must be protected by a powerful enchanted barrier. Either way, the spirit manipulator team will be distracted for a while. We can use that chance," he said slowly.

At this time, several figures abruptly appeared on the east side of the camp and entered the camp. A few minutes later, the entire spirit manipulator team left the camp. Led by three peerless masters at the Divine Stage, they headed to the east side of the Nine-phoenix Demonic Land.

Seeing this, Rocky and his companions followed the team immediately.

About two hours later, a natural ice cave with abundant spiritual power and cold air came into view.

From a distance, Rocky watched as the spirit manipulator team entered the ice cave. Then, on his signal, Allen, Sabina, and Lucilla followed them. Just as the four of them sneaked into the cave, they saw the spirit manipulator team being fiercely attacked by a group of Angry Ice Apes that was led by an Angry Ice Ape at the six-star level. It was not clear if the Angry Ice Apes were guarding any treasure; they just seemed agitated that strangers had violated their territory.

Although the spirit manipulator team was very strong, it was difficult for them to deal with the apes. Therefore, a stalemate immediately formed, and the spirit manipulator team was unable to advance for a moment.

For Rocky and his companions, this was the perfect chance. They split up into two groups to look for the spiritual treasure.

Rocky and Lucilla were in one group while Sabina and Allen were in the other. Taking advantage of the chaos of the battle, they sneaked into the depths of the ice cave.

The cave forked out into many paths and turns, like a maze. Anyone without a strong sense of direction would easily get lost.

Fortunately, Rocky and Lucilla had Ken to guide them, and successfully sneaked into the depths of the cave.

After crossing a particularly freezing and frosty path, the two of them were suddenly blinded by a bright beam of light. When they regained their vision again, they realized that they were standing in an incredible place.

In front of them was an ice forest that seemed to stretch out for miles. It was filled with countless ice sculptures of spirit-manipulated beasts of all kinds, from the ones that walked on the ground to the ones that could fly in the sky. Even flowers and trees, both big and small, were in the form of ice sculptures. It was like the replication of a real forest.

As the two of them walked through the ice forest, they couldn't help but gape at the various ice sculptures in awe. It was hard for them to imagine how much time and effort must have gone into making these.

After a while, though, the initial novelty wore off, and the two of them turned their attention back to searching for the spiritual treasure instead. They had a hunch that they would find it in this magical ice forest.

Sure enough, a while later, they discovered a three-meter-tall ice stone in the center of the ice forest, surrounded by dozens of ice sculptures of large spirit-manipulated beasts. However, it was not the ice

stone that caught their attention, but rather what was inside it. There was a strange sword sealed in the ice stone. Unlike a normal sword, its blade was curved like waves.

Although it was a rare artifact in this ice cave, Rocky was still not completely sure that it was the spiritual treasure they were looking for. He began circling the ice stone and studying the sword from all angles. After careful observation, he noticed that there was a spiritual stone embedded on the hilt of the sword. It looked similar to the Mysterious Spirit Raw Gemstone he had obtained before. The only difference was its color.

Rocky's eyes glinted. "This must be the spiritual treasure," he said firmly.

"Really? But what should we do now? There seems to be neither a guardian beast nor an enchanted barrier that we have to cross. It looks like just an ordinary ice stone," Lucilla said as she touched the ice stone with her hand and looked at Rocky.
