The continuous stream of memories flowing into Rocky's mind was suddenly cut off somehow.
'What happened?' Rocky thought to himself as he reached out again one more time to touch the ball of light, but still, nothing happened.
Up till now, Rocky discovered the biggest secret of the Shura Race's royal family: long ago, their king killed the gods and became sworn enemies with them. 'But how could this be?' Rocky thought. Currently, the Shura Race adored and praised the gods, which was contrary to the memory he just read. It seemed that there was still a missing piece of the story that led them to believe in the gods once again.
If this secret came out, the faith of the entire Shura Race might crumble.
The king must've had his own reason to keep this secret from his people.
Countless questions bombarded Rocky's mind one after another. What happened to the king afterward? And why was he found beheaded inside the Martial Spirit Graveyard? Why did the Shura Race worship the gods again? His mind was in a kerfuffle.
Rocky took one last look at the ball of light before looking around the hall. He found a door at the front, so he walked over and pushed it open.
An insidious spiritual pressure greeted him the moment he opened the door. Braving the scary aura, he looked inside the room and found a floating orange jade the size of the Scarlet Heaven Jade.
He walked inside and carefully observed the floating gem for a while before deciding it was safe to touch it. The moment he grabbed the jade, it illuminated a blinding light that lit up every corner of the room. After opening his eyes, Rocky found himself in a dark space filled with numerous floating treasures. His eyes lit up in awe but upon closer look, the treasures were sealed and were of no use right now.
"Hello, new master, welcome to the Divine Treasure Land!" Rocky looked sideways and saw a light soul appear beside him.
"You are..." He immediately recognized that it was a martial spirit and had its own consciousness.
"I was ordered by my former master to protect the Divine Treasure Land," the martial spirit explained, as if it already knew what Rocky was thinking.
"I see." After the martial spirit recognized Rocky's aura, it must've decided that Rocky was his new master, just like what the Wind Monster did. Easing his guard, Rocky then said, "These spiritual treasures are magnificent."
"Spiritual treasures? Are you kidding me? These are all divine treasures. They are the trophies that my former master obtained after he hunted the gods!" What the martial spirit said surprised Rocky.
"After he hunted the gods?" he blurted out in shock. Did the king hunt down the gods after he turned against them? It sounded nothing but crazy!
"Master, with your current strength, you are still unable to use any of the divine treasures here. One must at least own an Imperial Soul to wield these treasures." Once again, it was as if the martial spirit already knew what was on his mind.
"Really? Then I guess I have to wait a little bit longer before I can use any of them." Rocky wasn't a bit surprised to hear that. After all, one could tell from their name alone that it took someone special to wield the divine treasures.
"Master, there are three Spiritual Energy Gathering Pills here. These pills have the ability to gather the spiritual energy of both heaven and earth. It will push you to finally reach the Emperor Realm. Although for me, it would be a waste since you're already so close in doing so..." the martial spirit said to him.
"Are there any side effects if I use the pills?" Rocky asked, wary of anything that might happen to him.
"No, sir, it doesn't have any side effects. The only downside is you have to wait for three hundred days before you can take another one," the martial spirit answered.
