Chapter 140 Looking for the Array Centers in the Secret Chambers
“Master, how did you think of this…” The Immortal Phoenix thought that its values were constantly being changed today. “Master, you’re too impressive. Even if I had ten brains, I wouldn’t be able to think of this!” Monkey also exclaimed.
“Well, I’m your Master.” Ye Chen smiled. “If I’m not smarter you little brats who were born not long ago, how would you obey me?”
“How can we not obey you, Master? When we followed you in the past, you didn’t seem like that. Ouch!” Monkey wanted to flatter Ye Chen, but it said something stupid. Before Ye Chen could do anything, the Immortal Phoenix kicked it in the head.
“Stupid Monkey, what are you talking about! Master has always been smart!” The Immortal Phoenix scolded.
It quickly came to Ye Chen’s side and rubbed against him affectionately. Its face seemed to be filled with the words “please praise me.”
“Sun God Envoy has good taste.” Ye Chen rubbed the golden feathers on the Immortal Phoenix’s head and turned to Monkey. “From now on, learn from your Big Sister. Be a bit more discerning!”
Monkey chuckled and immediately came up to fawn on the Immortal Phoenix. The two Divine Beasts fooled around together.
Instead, the leader of the Feather Dragons had a solemn expression. “Mr. Ye, thank you for your explanation.” It looked at the small array that Ye Chen created and said softly, “However, I still want to know how you knew the way of building the secret chambers.”
“In fact, I was just thinking backwards.” Ye Chen replied, “Look, when I tell you what happened, you actually understood it very quickly. It’s just that you hadn’t reacted to it before. There are walls in the secret chambers and you would think about how the walls were built. The secret chambers have doors and you’d think about how you can open the doors. Thinking backwards is to think about whether the walls and doors have always been there.”
“Mr. Ye is right. If I had thought of it earlier, I’m afraid these things wouldn’t have happened.” The leader of the Feather Dragons sounded regretful. “Now that I think about it, the people who created the arrays are really meticulous. Overlapping different arrays together in different ways is really not a strategy that ordinary people can think of. I’m afraid that when we get out of the array, they will have backup plans to deal with us.”
“Don’t worry too much about it. As long as you’re alive, there’s hope.” Ye Chen comforted it. “Moreover, there’s something I didn’t tell you previously. It’s not the main world outside this array, but a different world I’m living in. It shouldn’t be found by that group of people. It’s just that that place is an old grave of the Primitive World. Spiritual Energy is so thin… Outsiders call it the Burial Ground. I wonder if you’ve heard of it.”
“I’ve heard of this place before.” The leader of the Feather Dragons answered after pondering for a moment, “This foreign realm has disappeared for a long time, but it still hasn’t been discovered by humans. If Mr. Ye is willing to let my race temporarily stay in the Burial Ground, I certainly can’t thank you enough.”
“That’s great!” Ye Chen smiled. “According to my discovery, the arrays of the two secret chambers should be used to protect the fragments of Goulong and Zhurong’s Spirit Pools. Let’s look for the centers of the secret chambers later. Perhaps, I won’t even need to take the risk to learn a cultivation art to take down the centers of the secret chambers and leave the arrays.”
To be honest, Ye Chen really didn’t want to learn the cultivation arts in advance. He had always liked to go steady. Learning cultivation arts that exceeded his level didn’t conform to his idea.
Although he had obtained many good cultivation arts, he didn’t have the intention to learn them all at the moment.
The main reason was that these cultivation arts were developed by mutated beasts and the burden on the human body was too heavy. Usually, it had a requirement for the learner’s defense power. If the learner’s defense power didn’t meet the requirements, he could accidentally explode and die or become mad from the impact. The gains wouldn’t make up for the losses.
So, while he was reading the cultivation arts today, he was also constantly training his combat strength and defensive value, striving to enhance his strength as soon as possible in this place with abundant Spiritual Energy.
“Master, I saw that when you placed the Spirit Stones on the ground, an array appeared above them. Are the array centers of the secret chambers also on the ground?” Monkey asked.
“That’s not likely.” The leader of the Feather Dragons replied, “I’ve already entered the secret chamber many times. If the center of the array had been on the ground, I would have sensed it when I moved around on it directly.” freℯ𝓌e𝚋𝐧𝘰vℯl.𝐜𝚘𝗺
“No matter where it is, it must be somewhere hidden.” Ye Chen replied, “Little Purple has the Titan’s Eye. It didn’t find anything special on the ground at that time, which means that at least there’s nothing underneath our feet.”
There were two reasons why Ye Chen said that.
Firstly, it was because he had discovered the problem with the chamber in the fire array after Little Purple approached it, which meant that Little Purple’s Titan’s Eye didn’t fail. It was only because there was a limit to the distance.
Secondly, his system notification didn’t show him any abnormalities either. When he approached the treasure, a system notification would definitely appear. If nothing appeared, it would definitely be because the treasure was covered. Therefore, the array center of the secret chamber must be protected by something
“In that case, leave the task of searching the secret chamber in the ice array to me.” The leader of the Feather Dragons said, “I’ve already been to the secret chamber many times and am quite familiar with it. I won’t trigger the trap. Let me search and find the hidden center of the array.” “Of course, that’s good. However, I suggest that my Divine Beast, Little Purple, join us too.” Ye Chen thought for a moment and replied, “Its Titan’s Eye can see through disguises. It should be helpful in finding the array center. However, it’s currently helping me investigate the material wrapped around the fragment of Zhurong’s Spirit Pool in the chamber of the fire array. I’m afraid it will take a while before it returns.”
“The Titan Race has been hiding from the world for a long time, but Mr. Ye, you have a mutated beast from this race. That is truly wonderful.” The leader of the Feather Dragons exclaimed.
“In fact, not only Little Purple. Monkey is also from the Titan Race.” Ye Chen smiled. “It’s just that its bloodline has yet to awaken.”
The Titan Race had many branches, including different races. The Titan Apes and the Titan Pythons were only two ordinary branches.
However, the leader of the Feather Dragons was extremely shocked after hearing that.
“It’s also from the Titan Race? But why doesn’t it have the symbol of the Titan Race, the Titan’s Eye?” It looked at Monkey and asked Ye Chen in doubt, “Those from the Titan Race should have a bead on their foreheads even if they haven’t awakened their bloodline. However, there’s no such thing on its forehead.”
