Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1696 The Three Paths

After five long days of travelling, the joint team of the Ghost Fief and Flower Fief arrived at theentrance of the Nether Fire Land on tired feet.

A long time ago, the land had been a paradise. But changes in the soil had engulfed it in flamesfrom the earth's core, turning it into what was currently referred to as the Nether Fire Land. Thetemperatures inside ran almost two times higher than the outside world's. The only thing protectingits visitors from dehydration and death was their spiritual power.

The sole act of entering the Nether Fire Land would be a serious test for the joint team.

And after they stepped foot in the desolate land, they would be threatened by the diabolic beaststhat had lived there for thousands of years. Now, they had reproduced and mutated, making themstronger than ever before. They possessed the power that extraordinary diabolic beasts had.Normally, powerful warriors from the Shura Race would avoid the land at all costs.

And the trek through the Nether Fire Land would be nothing compared to the task of the GodlyGeniuses. For Rocky and the joint team, the journey there was only beginning.

Because they had been travelling for several days and had almost no time for rest, Vivian orderedthe team to set up tents to recuperate before they proceeded. She also sent a reconnaissance teamthat was led by two Spiritual Emperors to explore the land and get familiar with the terrain so theycould confirm their next path.

A few hours later, the reconnaissance team returned with a carefully plotted out topographic mapof the area.

Holding it in her hands, Vivian summoned Rocky, Valeria, and the other Spiritual Emperors to hertent to discuss which path they should choose to follow.

"What do you think, Miss Vivian?" Rocky looked at Vivian, hoping that she could see reason andwould make the right choice.

"I will send someone to investigate again and once we know there are no problems, we will set offagain,” Vivian said cautiously. She didn't object to Rocky's opinion, nor did she agree with him.Rocky had no reason to speak against her so he turned around and exited the tent.

The other Spiritual Emperors also walked outside, leaving Valeria behind.

"Godly Genius Valeria, why are you so against the Godly Genius from our Ghost Fief?" Vivian asked,crossing her arms over her chest.

"I just don't like him." Valeria snorted.

"Then why do you have an engagement with him?" Vivian rolled her eyes. She didn't know muchabout love, but if it were her, she would never agree to things that she didn't like.

"Of course I wouldn't get engaged to him if it were up to me. This is not my decision," Valeria saidhelplessly.

"The fact is, his worry is very reasonable. He warned us out of pure kindness," Vivian replied,defending Rocky.

"He was just bragging. We are all more experienced than him. There is no need to listen to him." Itwas clear that Valeria didn't value Rocky or his opinion at all.

"Even so, we should exercise caution,” Vivian said calmly.

"You are the team leader. It's up to you!" Without saying anything more, Valeria left the camp.Then, Vivian ordered the reconnaissance team to enter the Nether Fire Land once more and confirmthe safety of the valley.

Meanwhile, in the depths of the valley where Vivian and the others were planning to go, a hundredpeople that were led by Tobias were hiding in a pile of rubble, waiting for an opportunity to attacktheir opponents.

In the middle of the rubble heap, a low-level Spiritual Emperor was sitting in a spiritual array andcontinuously releasing his spiritual power into a purple crystal ball.
