Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 258

"Never mind. Since you do not want to express your sincerity, there is no need to continue our conversation." Rocky threw a disappointed glance at Marin and then turned to leave. A mischievous smile crossed one corner of his lips as soon as his back was turned away from Marin. He was sure that Marin was in a state of great internal conflict because of his request. Rocky knew that Marin was not the type of person who would break her words but, nonetheless, she wasn't the type of person to agree to such a ridiculous request. Rocky's real intention for the request was to make fun of Marin.

"Fine! I will do as you asked. Come to my place tonight!" Marin said firmly as she clenched her teeth. Determination filled her countenance after what felt to her was an eternity of internal debate.

Rocky never expected that Marin would agree to his ridiculous request. After all, his request was only intended to deride Marin. But since Marin agreed, it was Rocky who was caught off guard. He didn't know how to properly react. As Rocky pondered how to tell Marin that it was only a jest, Marin lowered her head and went away with blushed cheeks.

"Is she really going to do a belly dance for me?" Rocky's eyes grew big and his eyebrows went up in anticipation. "A great show awaits me tonight!" Marin was a gorgeous lady with a voluptuous body. A belly dance from her had the potential to make any man fall for her hard. Rocky remained in shock from hearing Marin's agreement to his request. The Marin he knew would rather die than do something like that. But unexpectedly, Marin said yes to his absurd request; and it bowled him over in disbelief.

Rocky stopped trying to figure out why Marin agreed to his request and soon left to return to his place. He saw Uriah and Little Rubygon sitting in front of his door in a melancholic state as their eyes wandered around, waiting to pick up a hint that he had returned. Both of them looked very worried because Rocky had been gone for days. They soon saw Rocky walking towards them, and their eyes couldn't light up brighter than they did. They rushed towards Rocky and jumped to his arms. Rocky fell to the ground laughing as Uriah and Little Rubygon started to lick his face.

"Ha-ha! Stop! Boys! I haven't washed my face for days! All right! All right! I know you two missed me so much! But if you don't stop licking me, I would lose a layer of skin on my face." Rocky gently pushed Uriah and Little Rubygon back when it became obvious that they did not intend to stop anytime soon. He lovingly stroked their heads between their ears as he rose to his feet. He walked towards the door with Uriah and Little Rubygon on his sides and then entered the lab. Rocky went to the table and took out the map. He studied it under the gentle light of three night-luminous pearls. After a few minutes, he was convinced that the area on the map was nowhere near the Gehenna Border. He was convinced that it should be somewhere else.

Rocky was excited to find out what treasure was buried at that marked spot on the map. Unfortunately, he was unable to figure out where the area was exactly. Finding out what treasures were hidden in that place would have to wait for now.

Even though Rocky's last encounter almost killed him, he was able to get away with a lucky haul. Not only did he near the sixth grade of the Earthly Stage, but also he walked away with three extremely valuable treasures. In addition to the treasure map, he obtained a book containing a rare spiritual martial arts skill and the Dragon Flame Pearl. Rocky knew that every spirit manipulator would give anything to have the treasures that he found but more especially the book.

It was difficult for spirit manipulators to reach the Heavenly Stage, and it was equally difficult for them to obtain a spiritual martial arts skill. This showed what Rocky's luck really brought him through this time. He could not help but admit that the accident turned out to be a truly blessed event.

There was a time when only those who obtained the power of spiritual race could be considered as spirit manipulators. However, they developed techniques that allowed humans to learn spiritual martial arts that, in turn, allowed them to become spirit manipulators. This was why ancient spirit manipulators had many ordinary humans for students. This effectively increased the strength of their forces while increasing the number of spirit manipulators in the Wild Spirit Land. That was the same time that different types of spirit manipulators appeared—ordinary spirit manipulators and primordial spirit manipulators, including royal spirit manipulators, phoenix spirit manipulators and so on.

But the primordial spirit manipulators who obtained the spiritual race's power had their own limits. Most of them only had the capability of creating the cultivation methods for the Mortal Stage and the Earthly Stage. Only a handful of primordial spirit manipulators were strong and powerful enough to create the cultivation methods for the Heavenly Stage for ordinary spirit manipulators.

And such elite primordial spirit manipulators were few and far between. That was why a cultivation method for the Heavenly Stage was priceless and invaluable for ordinary spirit manipulators. Countless people yearned to obtain such a cultivation method, but very few of them even had the chance to see one before their death. It was like a daydream for most of them to get a cultivation method for the Heavenly Stage. Even if ordinary spirit manipulators succeeded in reaching the Heavenly Stage, they could not upgrade further without a cultivation method for the Heavenly Stage. They would have no way to improve further and most stayed at the preliminary grade of the Heavenly Stage.

Although Rocky could regain the Holy Dragon Bead's power and the position as a royal spirit manipulator after he reached the Heavenly Stage, he could not get the royal cultivation methods for the Heavenly Stage because he was disowned. The royal cultivation methods that were passed down from the Dragon Master Clan were only for the royal members.
