The Medallion novel Chapter 1245

However, Rocky couldn't help feeling a bit surprised, because all these things appeared to intertwine together like the red thread of fate. And he was at the center, surrounded by all these countless mysteries.

"Father, you said that the holy treasure of the Dragon Master Clan possesses mighty power. I was wondering how strong it is exactly," Rocky asked the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire, his face full of doubt.

"It is said that the holy treasure is a Spiritual Weapon in the shape of a mask, often referred to as the Holy Mask. Although I haven't seen it before, I heard from the previous emperor that anyone who wears this mask would become brave and wise in battle. It is also rumored that the Holy Dragon Empire's earliest emperors all had the Holy Mask in their possession," the emperor revealed, as a somber expression took over his face. Hearing this, Rocky was confused. Since the Holy Mask was so powerful, and it was the relic of the Dragon Master Clan's first patriarch, the patriarch should've worn it all the time.

However, according to Moira, the Dragon Master Clan had failed to find their first patriarch's corpse, which meant that they didn't know the Myriad Spirit Tomb existed. If the Dragon Master Clan warrior he saw in the Myriad Spirit Tomb was indeed the first patriarch of the Dragon Master Clan, why was the Holy Mask in the hands of the Dragon Master Clan? And why were the patriarch and the other myriad spiritual race beings buried in the tomb as if the spiritual race had never discovered them? No matter what, Rocky could not make sense of it.

'Is it possible that someone discovered the Holy Mask in the tomb and returned it to the Dragon Master Clan?' This theory suddenly occurred to Rocky, and he thought it was the only possible explanation. It would also explain why the Holy Mask was regarded as a relic. But why didn't that person return their first patriarch's corpse along with the Holy Mask? That was another enigma.

If his conjecture was right, did the bearer of the Holy Mask have anything to do with the death of the myriad spiritual race beings? If that person was involved, why didn't he or she die? Moreover, it looked like that person had deliberately concealed the existence of the Myriad Spirit Tomb. Perhaps, he should figure out this person's identity, as it was likely that he or she would lead him to the answers that he sought.

As Rocky pondered over it, he felt that the death of the myriad spiritual race beings was not as simple as he had thought. Not to mention, whether it had anything to do with the astonishing secret that the spiritual race had. The existence of the Myriad Spirit Tomb and the Heavenly God Temple had already exceeded the scope of knowledge of humans and even many spiritual race beings.

According to what Glutton said, the twelve statues in the Heavenly God Temple might be the answers he was looking for. But what were the origins of these twelve statues? He had no idea who were the people they were built for.

The only information Rocky had about the past was that the Witch of the Holy Dragon Empire had disappeared with the Holy Mask. In fact, she had deliberately hidden the Holy Mask to leave some clues about the Myriad Spirit Tomb for the descendants. Moreover, she had left nine colored pearls as the clues, hoping that the descendants would find the Myriad Spirit Tomb and inherit her will to guard the entire Wild Spirit Land and stop the Divine Spiritual Source from reappearing in the world.

That meant that the Divine Spiritual Source was another matter altogether. According to that Witch, the formidable power of the Divine Spiritual Source far exceeded the range that the spiritual race could possess. It was also the origin of the nine spiritual treasures and nine legendary guardian beasts. It indicated that the Divine Spiritual Source did not belong to the spiritual race initially, and its power could surpass that of the spiritual race.

Therefore, the origin of the Divine Spiritual Source was another significant mystery, as well as the story of how the spiritual race came to obtain it.

'Wait. Is the fragment I got from that treasure box also a colored pearl?' Rocky suddenly remembered that he had obtained a strange fragment from a treasure box he discovered in the Myriad Spirit Tomb.

"Basil, what's wrong?" Marcia couldn't help but ask out of curiosity when she saw Rocky lost in thought.

"Nothing. I was just a little surprised," he responded lightly. He had decided not to tell the emperor and Marcia that he had found a treasure box left by the Witch of the Holy Dragon Empire. For now, it was better if they didn't know about the fragment. Rocky felt that it was not appropriate for him to tell the truth for the time being. Not only did he have a lot of things to explain, but he also felt that it was better to keep the Myriad Spirit Tomb a secret. His decision was reinforced because after he went to the Heavenly God Temple, he found out that there was an even bigger secret hidden in the Myriad Spirit Tomb.
