Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 58

"She looks breathtakingly beautiful. Her charm must be at par with that of Marcia's and Lena's." Rocky observed as he stroked his jaw. His eyes sparkled with admiration. He knew Erica was always quite the beauty, but seeing her up close only reinforced that truth.

Felicia and Erica were warmly welcomed by the crowd. They went across the square, along with the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire, and sat gingerly on their designated seats at the end of the square. The princes including Alston and ministers of the Holy Dragon Empire waiting there made their salutations to Felicia to show their respect.

The instant Alston saw Erica, his mind became unsettled.

"Preceptor Felicia, please take a seat." The emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire respectfully reached out to invite Felicia.

"Your Majesty, you're welcome." Felicia nodded. She waited for the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire to sit before she settled herself on the seat of honor beside him.

Then Lena sat down with Erica aside. When chatters and murmurs of the guests simmered down, Priest Dean took a step forward to announce the beginning of the Dragon Birth Festival.

Soon, people sang and danced in the center of the square in an ecstasy of joy.

"Thanks to Her Majesty, we have the great honor to receive Preceptor Felicia at the Dragon Birth Festival of the Holy Dragon Empire. Please send my warmest appreciation to her when you return," the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire said with a benign countenance, humbly presenting himself. As was known by most people, Felicia was the white-haired person of the empress of the Magic Phoenix Empire. She was delegated to take charge of most of the principal affairs in the Magic Phoenix Empire. This showed that she was a person of high influence there. Thus, the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire had to treat her with utmost respect.

"Your Majesty, you're welcome. Our empires have thrived in good relationships throughout. It's the honor of the Magic Phoenix Empire to be here to watch the Dragon Birth Festival of the Holy Dragon Empire. Her Majesty was very much enthused with your invitation, so she commanded me to take Erica, my disciple, and seven new phoenix spirit manipulators with me. This is a great opportunity for them to broaden their horizons. They can also exchange experience and skills with the royal spirit manipulators of the Holy Dragon Empire. From what I've heard, one of the new royal spirit manipulators even fused with the Holy Dragon Bead. As far as I can recall, it is the holy treasure of the Holy Dragon Empire from centuries ago," Felicia commented, her eyes directly fixed on the emperor's visage.

"You're very much abreast about the information..." The emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire was both impressed and taken aback with the mention of the Holy Dragon Bead. He forced a laugh, trying to evade the embarrassing conversation, so he changed the subject and said, "The thirty royal spirit manipulators of the Holy Dragon Empire are preparing there. Where are the seven new phoenix spirit manipulators you've spoken of?"

"Erica." Felicia nodded in Erica's direction on the lower floor, sending her a signal that she was being summoned.

Responding to the signal given to her, Erica stood up and whistled. Suddenly, a chromatic shadow of phoenix showed up from a wing of the square. With glittering light, it looked beautiful and sumptuous. Seen from afar, it flew over carrying a few people.

"Is this the Glint Phoenix?" the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire asked, obviously surprised with the display before him.

The Glint Phoenix was a breed of rare spirit-manipulated beasts. The Magic Phoenix Empire inherited the ability of the Phoenix Master Clan. Due to this, its phoenix spirit manipulators could control the phoenix, a higher spiritual creature, which was the only rare spiritual treasure on the Wild Spirit Land at par with the dragons. It could also be divided into the war phoenix and the spiritual phoenix.

The Glint Phoenix was not actually the purebred phoenix. It was only considered as a breed of spiritual beasts. However, it was said that it inherited an extinct capability of the ancient spiritual phoenix. To be specific, it could be reborn after nirvana. On top of it all, it increased its power by double after each nirvana. Moreover, the Glint Phoenix was so rare that it was considered much more precious compared to some kinds of spiritual phoenixes. Therefore, there were hardly any stories and information about it. Only a few people of the Holy Dragon Empire could recognize it.

In addition, the Glint Phoenix had a tendency to be arrogant and disdainful, making it troublesome to discipline. For that reason, it was practically an impossible task to turn it into a spirit-manipulated beast.

"Your Majesty, it's surprising that you could recognize the Glint Phoenix. This is the four-star spiritual beast my disciple subdued a year ago," Felicia coolly mentioned, but deep inside she couldn't help but feel smug of what her disciple gained.

Upon hearing Felicia's words, the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire and Priest Dean were astonished. Though they had heard that Erica had a four-star spiritual beast with excellent natural endowments, they never thought that it would be a Glint Phoenix. Actually, her Glint Phoenix wasn't remarkable in its current state. But with its inherent ability to increase power after nirvana, in time, it would surely grow stronger and would take its place in the top ten.

"Miss Erica, it is no doubt that your power and capacity is immense since you could tame the Glint Phoenix to be the spirit-manipulated beast of your own," the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire commended after a while.
