Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1198 The Ancient and Mysterious Land

"Can you tell me about the real origin of the Holy Dragon Bead in your body? As far as I know, theHoly Dragon Bead isn't the holy treasure of the Holy Dragon Empire at all. Am I right?" Jill asked asshe narrowed her gorgeous piercing eyes.

"I didn't know you have this deep interest in the origin of the bead.” Only this time, the bland lookin Rocky's eyes had vanished. He smiled as if he had suddenly realized something important andhad put the puzzle pieces together. Actually, he was not bewitched by Jill at all. At that moment, hejust wanted to get to the bottom and figure out her real purpose.

"Haven't I hypnotized you yet?" Jill stared deep into Rocky's eyes in astonishment.

As a response, Rocky simply nodded and gave a feeble smile. He could not deny that she was quitepowerful. After all, he was almost bewitched by her just now. Luckily, the Dragon-shaped Soul Beastreminded him in time to wake up from the trance. Soon after snapping back to reality, he pretendedto be bewitched to see what would happen.

"It appears that I have underestimated you," Jill said charmingly.

"The bead is just a holy treasure that the Dragon Master Clan gave to the Holy Dragon Empire. But Ihave to point out that it makes me wonder why you are so skeptical of its origin,” Rocky remarkedcalmly, still with a gentle smile plastered on his face. He didn't expect that Jill would raise doubtsabout where the bead came from.

"Oh, really? But I don't think it's as simple as you claim it to be. Last time, I saw the Demonic SoulCauldron in the sacrificial hall was activated by the evil power in your body. That is what pushed meto doubt that these two treasures are from the same place. If I judged it correctly, I'm moreinterested in you than your bead!" A coquettish and foxy expression appeared on Jill's charmingface.

'lt sounds that the cauldron has a very special origin!’ Rocky hypothesized in his mind as soon as heheard what Jill said.

"Actually, I don't care where your bead came from. What I care about is whether or not you can helpme!" Jill instantly changed the topic.

"I'm lost. What do you mean by that?" Rocky inquired calmly.

"In fact, ever since I took over and became the matriarch of the Phoenix Master Clan, I have triedseveral ways in so many times to control the cauldron, but none of my methods worked at all. As faras I know, the two former leaders of the Phoenix Master Clan also failed to control or activate thecauldron. But when you entered the sacrificial hall for the very first time, the cauldron wasimmediately activated by your power. I don't think it's just a coincidence," Jill responded frankly.

"So does this mean that you want to control the cauldron and refine the souls in it so that you canget stronger power?" Rocky asked as he thought that he had finally figured out what Jill was up to."Exactly," Jill replied with all honesty.

"No, I don't think you understand. The cauldron is by no means a good thing. You'd better not tomake use of it..." Rocky persuaded with sincerity.

"But the power of the bead in your body is also evil. And that power shouldn't belong to the DragonMaster Clan at all!" Jill pointed out sharply.

"I have no choice," Rocky responded with cold eyes.

"It's just your excuse. The truth is that the spiritual race and humans all desire to get strong power.Perhaps one day, humans would take back their liberty and would not be ruled nor suppressedanymore, just like the spiritual race...” Jill added all of a sudden, stunning Rocky.

"Matriarch Jill, what do you mean?" Rocky couldn't help but ask. Based on her words, it seemed thatthe spiritual race had the same fate as the present humans in the past. And for the humans at thepresent time, their fate was in the hands of the spiritual race.

Rocky thought about this and was more surprised. At that moment, he faintly felt that this mattermight have a lot to do with the astonishing secret hidden by the spiritual race.

"Anyway, I don't believe that you have no ambition at all." After realizing that she might have givenhim too much information, Jill immediately changed the topic again.

"Huh? Ambition? I used to have, but now, I just want to live a carefree life," Rocky said with agenuine smile.

"It seems that you are more aloof than I have expected. Well, I won't force you..." Jill declared.

"Give me one good reason why I should help you.” Hearing Jill's words, Rocky raised his eyebrowsand asserted slight dominance over the conversation.

"You are the only one who has the ability to remove the curse which stops members of the spiritualrace and humans from having offspring. If you and I were to have a baby, it would not be restrictedby the curse. Meanwhile, as for the wishes that I am unable to fulfill, this hypothetical child couldmake them come true and would definitely make the Phoenix Master Clan stronger in the future,”Jill said with sophistication and finesse.

"It seems that I was the one who underestimated your ambition.” Rocky couldn't help but getsurprised by the way she planned things. Indeed, if he had a baby with a girl from the spiritual race,their baby might not have to be controlled by the curse.

"All I have done is for the sake of the Phoenix Master Clan. Plus, if the soul of the ancient mysteriousbeast still cannot be separated from the legendary guardian beast, the Phoenix Master Clan wouldhave to be prepared in advance. So, if the Demonic Soul Cauldron can be used in a good way, it willbe far more valuable than the spiritual treasures or the legendary guardian beast," Jill said with firmresolution.

"It appears that the cauldron is a taboo spiritual treasure in that ancient and mysterious land,” Rockyadded with conviction.

"Tell me, how do you know the origin of the cauldron?" Jill was a little stunned upon hearing Rocky'sanswer. Needless to say, she didn't expect that Rocky even knew about the existence of the ancientand mysterious land.

"It's not difficult to know that,” Rocky replied as he shrugged his shoulders. During Rocky's stay inthe Dragon Master Clan, Malcom had told him something about that ancient and mysterious land.At that time, Rocky remembered a piece of important message saying that there were also othertaboo spiritual treasures, aside from the Holy Dragon Bead, which were taken out from the saidarea. Last time, he sensed a very familiar aura from the cauldron in the sacrificial hall, which wasactivated by the power of the Holy Dragon Bead in his body. Considering these factors, he came torealize that the cauldron sealed in the Phoenix Master Clan actually originated from that ancient andmysterious land. In other words, the cauldron was also a taboo spiritual treasure.

"Although I am aware of the existence of the ancient and mysterious land, I'm still very curiousabout its exact location. Can you tell me more about it?" Rocky gazed at Jill's eyes and asked.

"Well, now that you know about it, it's meaningless for me to hide it anymore. This might come as asurprise to you, but to be honest, I don't know much about it. I only know that even the spiritualrace never dares to enter that land. However, hundreds of years ago, the leaders of the major clansof the spiritual race entered that land together out of sheer curiosity. It was said that they each tookout a taboo spiritual treasure that shouldn't have appeared on the Wild Spirit Land in the first place.Originally, the former leaders of our clan wanted to use the power of the cauldron to make usstronger, but later on, we found that the power of the cauldron was too evil to be controlled by anyspiritual race. Soon after, the members of the Butterfly Divine Clan were slaughtered. Moreover,people said that the real reason behind the clan's extermination was because they possessed ataboo spiritual treasure.” Jill narrated what she knew about that ancient and mysterious land andthe taboo spiritual treasures.
