Desolate Era: Hatching a Phoenix at the Beginning-Chapter 139 - Chained Arrays, The Origin of the Secret Chambers

“Master, what are you talking about?” The Immortal Phoenix screamed, “I don’t understand!” Monkey also nodded at the side.

“Master, didn’t you say that this is the array of the Ice Fire Beetle? Why has it become another array?” Its tone also revealed deep confusion.

“I didn’t say that this is not the Ice Fire Beetle Mystic Realm. I’m only saying that there’s another Mystic Realm here.” Ye Chen explained speechlessly, “Didn’t the leader of the Feather Dragons say that two arrays with opposite attributes can cancel out the borders? As long as the attributes aren’t opposite, the borders won’t disappear.”

“Mr. Ye, you mean that there are other arrays in the ice and fire arrays, and the secret chambers are where the arrays are?” The leader of the Feather Dragons had already calmed down and asked, “But judging from this, how did the doors of the secret chambers appear? By using the incompleteness of the arrays as well?”

Ye Chen shook his head.

“No, it’s completely different.” He answered, “When we were exploring the fire array just now, we realized that the area covered by the array of the secret chamber is very intact. If the array is damaged, Spiritual Energy will leak.”

“What about the ice and fire arrays? Is the Spiritual Energy also leaking?” Monkey asked with a confused expression.

“No, according to Mr. Ye, although the Spiritual Energy of the ice and fire arrays can be leaked because the Spiritual Energy Of the two sides are incompatible, their Spiritual Energy is restrained in the original area.” The leader of the Feather Dragons seemed to be accepting Ye Chen’s idea and started to explain to Monkey. “However, the types of Spiritual Energy in the two secret chambers correspond to those in the ice and fire arrays, so it’s unusual instead if the Spiritual Energy doesn’t leak. Am I right, Mr. Ye?”

“As expected of you, you figured it out immediately.” Ye Chen gave a thumbs up. “The mutated beast that led so many Feather Dragons to kill the continent-level master is indeed smart.”

“I really can’t compare to you, Mr. Ye,” The leader of the Feather Dragons said sincerely, “I’ve been imprisoned here for a hundred years, but the understanding I have of this place is actually less than yours after two days of observation. I’m really impressed.”

“I don’t really understand it. I’m just guessing.” Ye Chen smiled. “Of course, my guesses are all based on the facts and possibilities. I’ll accept your praise!”

He was smiling cheekily, but after all he was too strong. The leader of the Feather Dragons was at most speechless for a while and didn’t comment on his actions. Instead, the Immortal Phoenix and Monkey were getting anxious and started to urge Ye Chen.

“Master, don’t keep us in suspense. Tell us everything about the secret chambers at once! You’re making me so anxious!” The Immortal Phoenix started to complain.

“That’s right. Only you know about it. How unfair!” Monkey also began to protest shamelessly.

“Why are you two in such a hurry? Of course I’ll tell you.” Ye Chen curled his lips and opened his inventory to take out a bag of Spirit Stones from the foreign realm.

Those were something he took from the human skeleton. There were all kinds of Spirit Stones. It was probably for the sake of replenishing his Spiritual Energy or setting up an array to protect himself.

Ye Chen picked out nine Water Spirit Stones and arranged the Spirit Stones on the ground based on his memory.

“Mr. Ye, are you setting up an array?” The leader of the Feather Dragons asked.

“Yes, it’s too troublesome to explain this. I’ll directly demonstrate it to you here.” Ye Chen replied.

What he had set up was the array of the Water Spirit Stones at the Python Race’s altar.

The Wasteland Remembrance and other information didn’t record a clear method to place the Spirit Stones. It only said that one had to adjust the area covered by Spiritual Energy. Therefore, there were different ways of setting up arrays. Presumably, people who knew how to set up an array were unwilling to hand over the setup method they found, which was why these books didn’t have any record on

Fortunately, Ye Chen had already seen an array and could set up a similar one.m The first step was to set up the coverage of the array.

The area that Ye Chen set up was very small. It was also convenient for experiments. After activating the barrier, Ye Chen put away the Spirit Stones and took out a big item from his inventory.

That was the Ice Fire Beetle’s semi-petrified tissue that he had placed in his inventory. This piece happened to fall right beside him at that time, so he took it away. The second step was to set up the array again according to the proportion and place the selected border materials around it.

The border material that Ye Chen chose was the Ice Fire Beetle’s tissue. He placed the nine Spirit Stones on the tissue once more and activated the array again.

The area he had set up was small, probably not even as big as the Ice Fire Beetle’s tissue.

“Sun God Envoy, you’re up.” After setting it up, he turned to the Immortal Phoenix and said, “Don’t move the positions of the Spirit Stones. Use the Art of Zhurong to melt this Ice Fire Beetle’s tissue so that its array can cover all areas. Be careful not to damage the Spirit Stones.”

After saying that, he indicated a height and drew an arc at another location with his hand. He added, “The array can roughly cover this height. Then, leave a gap from the top to the bottom.”

The Immortal Phoenix was confused, but it still did as it was told.

Under the control of the Immortal Phoenix, the Ice Fire Beetle’s tissue melted and slowly spread upwards, completely covering the array space.

“I see. The array space wasn’t invaded by lava!” The leader of the Feather Dragons became excited. “Turns out that’s how the empty chambers were formed!”

“It’s not over yet!” Ye Chen replied with a smile. He looked at the Ice Fire Beetle that had cooled down again but had become a charred stone, and he waved his hand to call Monkey over.

“You’ve been practicing diligently. I’ll leave this job to you and you can show me your improvement.” He smiled and said, “Split this thing open.”

When Monkey heard that Ye Chen wanted to check its practice results, it immediately had the thought of showing off. It quickly revealed its true body and hit the stone fiercely. 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m

How would such a small piece of Ice Fire Beetle be able to withstand its attacks? Soon, the form of an array with black stones appeared. Most of the stones shattered on the ground, leaving a charred mark on it, just like the traces around the secret chambers in the ice and fire arrays after they had been cleaned.

And under Monkey’s final heavy hit, a piece of black stone fell into the barrier.

It was the stone in the curved area where Ye Chen asked the Immortal Phoenix to leave a gap.

It didn’t shatter. However, it fell to the inside of the array.

Ye Chen reached his hand into the array and took out the fragment.

“This is like the door of the secret chamber. It is originally a part of the borders of the array. It’s just that there are already marks on it. Therefore, although it can be disassembled, it is still unable to be destroyed.” He explained, “The borders of the array being unbreakable is actually a supplementary effect of the Spiritual Energy coverage. Therefore, although it has been disassembled, the energy coverage of the array is still complete.”

After saying that, he turned to the three Divine Beasts.

“Do you get it? This is the origin of the secret chambers.”
