Chapter 1020 The Fifth Grade Of The Supernal Stage

The calm smile on Laney's face wavered a little, but she stood her ground. "I know that General Marcia won't kill me. It's common-sense that people don't need to kill envoys between two fighting countries, not to mention that the two countries have already stopped fighting."

Marcia smiled appreciatively at her wit and then moved to take her overwhelming power back. She praised her sincerely, "No wonder Alyssa trusts you so much! It is not often that a normal woman, who is not even a spirit manipulator, can keep her cool in my presence. You are a very rare creature, and it would be a pity if I have to kill you. So, I suggest that you tell me everything you know. Don't test my patience, as I am sure you don't want to find out what happens when my patience runs out."

Laney didn't seem the least bit intimidated by Marcia's threat. She smiled pleasantly and took a sheath from her long sleeve, which she handed over to Marcia. "General Marcia, is this sheath familiar to you?" she asked.

Marcia only needed a single glance before recognizing that it was the Frozen Wind Dagger's sheath. She doubted her eyes for a second, so she stepped forward to get a closer look. "Where did you get this?" she asked, staring into Laney's eyes.

"Mr. Rookie gave it to me," answered Laney honestly.

"Mr. Rookie?" Marcia was confused at first because she didn't recognize the name. But suddenly, a powerful jolt passed through her body, as she connected the dots behind the name. This woman mentioned a Mr. Rookie, who must be Rocky, who was the same person as Basil. However, Rocky died a long time ago. When did he give the sheath to Laney, and why? Was there any message behind this action?

"General Marcia, I know that you must have a lot of questions running through your mind right now, but before anything else, I need you to know this: Mr. Rookie is still alive. He is safe, and he is staying in the Timber Deity Empire right now," Laney replied, her tone soft and gentle as if she was talking to an animal that was easily spooked.

"What did you say?! How is that possible? I can't believe you!" Marcia exclaimed, her voice rising in pitch at every interval. She refused to believe whatever Laney said. Rocky was dead! They even held a tribute for him. Why did this woman come all the way here to tell her a poorly thought-out lie like that? What was she, and more importantly, her master, planning to do?

"Mr. Rookie is still alive," Laney repe

Rocky felt as if his whole body's functions had been magnified infinitely, including his five senses. Every sound within a hundred meters reached his ears clearly in an instant, and the fragrance of various flowers in the garden reached his nose from more than ten meters away.

Not only that, but the meridians in his body were also rapidly expanding and shrinking, making the evil spiritual power and the Fire spiritual power in his body accelerate their circulation. It felt like a boa constrictor was squeezing and digesting him. Soon, the power released from the fourth layer of the seal, which was imprisoned by the spiritual soul container, was guided and continuously flowed into his meridians. It merged with the original evil spiritual power.

Rocky felt as if his body was expanding like the universe at an unknown speed. This feeling only appeared when he cultivated with Alyssa in the Magic Spiritual Spring. But what surprised him the most was that no matter how fast his body was circulating, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, he felt very comfortable.

In the twinkling of an eye, two days and two nights had passed. And when Rocky opened his eyes again, he found that he had merged the power from the fourth layer of the seal in his body to the fourth grade of the Supernal Stage. The speed of the fusion was astonishing, and it was second only to when Alyssa and he were cultivating together.

Moreover, Rocky could feel that the pill had not been thoroughly refined, and part of it was still in his body. If it was carefully refined, he could at least reach the fifth grade of the Supernal Stage.
