Chapter 952 Reclusive Elder

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

"I see..." Rocky nodded as he recalled the magical beasts that he had seen in the forest, back in the Black Sand Abyss, which emitted an aura that was comparable to that of a guardian beast. They must 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 class divides humans into different levels. Spiritual slaves are like ordinary people, and they are responsible for the daily life of the clansmen. Meanwhile, ordinary spiritual beings work specifically for the spiritual masters, and they control the spiritual slaves for the spiritual masters. Lastly, spiritual masters rule the entire clan and protect their clansmen from being invaded by other clans of the spiritual race. As such, only spiritual masters could be considered the real clansmen in the spiritual race's clans, as they are powerful creatures standing at the top of the food chain. However, there are very few spiritual masters in each clan of the spiritual race, and that is why they are considered the most 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 levels respectively. The level-one spiritual slaves are the weakest, while the level-nine spiritual masters are the strongest and real clansmen of the spiritual race," Alyssa continued to explain, as Rocky listened with his full attention.

"You are saying that the term 'spiritual race' that we, humans, use to call them has a very vague meaning. Does that mean that the real clansmen in the spiritual race's clans are only a small part of them?" Rocky asked just to confirm, as he began to realize that what he knew about the spiritu

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

One of the clansmen walked in and returned a moment later. The other clansmen said something that 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 around in surprise when he found that although it was quite big, it was sparsely decorated. In the innermost part 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 sat cross-legged on the cyan stone, and because of its skin tone, it easily blended to the cyan stone beneath. 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 voice came 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 behind the curtain with a soft, calming tone, which could relax anyone from a vigilant state at once.
