Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 952 Reclusive Elder

"In the beginning, the spiritual race's guardian beasts were obtained by capturing supernaturalbeasts and breeding them. Unfortunately, compared with the guardian beasts that were obtainedthrough artificial reproduction, wild supernatural beasts have stronger abilities, but they are difficultto tame, just as it is hard for human spirit manipulators to tame spiritual beasts. If we are not strongenough, it is impossible to capture a supernatural beast alive, let alone tame it. However, once wecapture a supernatural beast alive, we will be able to tame it, and it will become our own guardianbeast,” Alyssa explained.

"I see..." Rocky nodded as he recalled the magical beasts that he had seen in the forest, back in theBlack Sand Abyss, which emitted an aura that was comparable to that of a guardian beast. Theymust have been wild supernatural beasts.

"By the way, you mentioned spiritual slaves, ordinary spiritual beings, and spiritual masters earlier.What are they?" Rocky asked again.

"In the spiritual race's clans, the clansmen are divided into different levels, just as the ruling classdivides humans into different levels. Spiritual slaves are like ordinary people, and they areresponsible for the daily life of the clansmen. Meanwhile, ordinary spiritual beings work specificallyfor the spiritual masters, and they control the spiritual slaves for the spiritual masters. Lastly, spiritualmasters rule the entire clan and protect their clansmen from being invaded by other clans of thespiritual race. As such, only spiritual masters could be considered the real clansmen in the spiritualrace's clans, as they are powerful creatures standing at the top of the food chain. However, there arevery few spiritual masters in each clan of the spiritual race, and that is why they are considered themost important parts of each clan in the spiritual race. In terms of their strength and function,spiritual slaves, ordinary spiritual beings, and spiritual masters are also divided into nine levelsrespectively. The level-one spiritual slaves are the weakest, while the level-nine spiritual masters arethe strongest and real clansmen of the spiritual race," Alyssa continued to explain, as Rocky listenedwith his full attention.

"You are saying that the term “spiritual race’ that we, humans, use to call them has a very vaguemeaning. Does that mean that the real clansmen in the spiritual race's clans are only a small part ofthem?" Rocky asked just to confirm, as he began to realize that what he knew about the spiritualrace was very different from reality. However, this was normal because if the spiritual race wanted torule the human race, they had to exaggerate their strength. Although the spiritual race itself wasindeed very powerful, the number of the real clansmen of the spiritual race was very small. Thespiritual race had to confuse people and let the human race believe that there was no strongclansmen of the spiritual race and weak clansmen of the spiritual race. In that way, they couldprevent the human race from betraying them. Humans thought that as long as one was a clansmanof the spiritual race, he was invincible, but the truth was that human spirit manipulators above theSupernal Stage could defeat low-level spiritual slaves.

RYest:

"Then the two clansmen of the Heavenly Demon Clan we met last time are ordinary spiritual beings,right?” Rocky asked.

"Yes, but their level is lower than mine. If their level was higher than mine, I'm afraid we wouldn'thave been so lucky last time. The Heavenly Demon Clan underestimated my strength. They sent twoinferior ordinary spiritual beings to kill me. Humph!" Alyssa said with disdain.

"Is that so? If it weren't for me, you would have been caught by them," Rocky cut in with a teasingsmile. He could still remember that the two ordinary spiritual beings were almost as strong asAlyssa, and he could not resist the opportunity to remind her of that, which would surely annoy her.Just as he expected, Alyssa glared at him fiercely and turned to walk away from him, effectivelyending their conversation.

Once they passed through what seemed to be the pasture, he spotted a magnificent group of treehouses a good distance away from them. Although they were tree houses, the height and area ofeach building did not seem inferior to that of human beings’ buildings. Moreover, they were all builton trees that were at least ten meters high, which added to their magnificence and beauty, as itmade them look like natural works of art.

From the distance, Rocky could see that the clansmen of the Wood Clan were flying lightly up anddown like tree spirits, shuttling between different tree houses.

However, as soon as they spotted Alyssa and Rocky walking towards them, they stopped whateverthey were doing and landed in the branches up above. They stared at Alyssa and Rocky, makingstrange sounds from time to time as if they were talking about something.

"What are they talking about?" Rocky asked curiously.

"Most of the clansmen think that humans are very weak, just like ants that can be killed by thelittlest finger. What do you think they will say when they see you? They don't like you. Either, theywant to chop you up and feed their guardian beasts, or they want to cut you into pieces and studyyou," Alyssa replied seriously.

Rocky's hair stood on end when he heard what Alyssa said, but he soon realized that she was tryingto hide a wicked smile. He immediately knew that Alyssa was just teasing him, so he regained hiscalm and chuckled to himself.

"They are talking about why I brought a human here. The spiritual race generally doesn't allowhumans to enter their domains,” Alyssa continued when she saw that Rocky was not frightened."Then why did you bring me here?" Rocky asked. Just like their captivated audience, he, too, wasconfused.

"You would not be here if I did not have permission from the elder.” Alyssa rolled her eyes at him asif she thought that he was acting stupid.

After the two of them passed through the tree houses, a moon-shaped lake appeared in front ofthem. A very ancient arched flowering tree half hung from one end of the lake to the center, andcountless branches fell on the surface, stirring the calm waters. The scenery was almost ethereal inits beauty.

At the end of the huge flowering tree, there was an ancient tree house hanging in the air. It wasfashioned uniquely so that the way to the tree house was the trunk of the huge tree.

As Alyssa walked ahead of him, they headed to the tree and jumped lightly along its huge branchesuntil they arrived at the old tree house at the end of the tree.

Two clansmen of the Wood Clan who looked like guards were standing outside the tree house.

"Tell the elder that Alyssa wants to see her," Alyssa said to the two clansmen in front of the treehouse in their language.

One of the clansmen walked in and returned a moment later. The other clansmen said somethingthat they failed to catch before he left, just as Alyssa was turning toward Rocky.

"Don't talk nonsense after we enter the room!" Alyssa reminded him before they walked inside.

The inside of the tree house was every inch as big as its outer appearance, and Rocky looked aroundin surprise when he found that although it was quite big, it was sparsely decorated. In the innermostpart of the tree house, there was a cyan stone that continuously emitted strong spiritual energy,which was surrounded by a white curtain. An indistinct figure that looked vaguely like a human satcross-legged on the cyan stone, and because of its skin tone, it easily blended to the cyan stonebeneath. If one didn't look carefully, he wouldn't notice the figure.

"How are you doing, grandma?" Alyssa walked forward and knelt respectfully in front of the curtain,while Rocky lingered by the doorway, studying their interaction.

"Here you are! Is this young man the one who can remove your curse?" A hoarse but strong voicecame out from behind the curtain, speaking human language.

"Yes." Alyssa nodded.

"Is this grandma the reclusive elder you mentioned?" Rocky walked to her and asked casually.

"You can't call her grandma!" She immediately hissed and glared at Rocky's irreverence.

"It doesn't matter. Young man, can you come closer and put your hand in?" said the figure behindthe curtain with a soft, calming tone, which could relax anyone from a vigilant state at once.
