Desolate Era: Hatching a Phoenix at the Beginning-Chapter 184 - Another Fragment of Zhurong’s Spirit Pool

Ye Chen heaved a sigh of relief.

“The ice and fire arrays are really strange. People need luck to enter and strength to get out. It’s obvious that they want the people who enter here to never return!”

After understanding the arrangement of the mental world, Ye Chen complained in his heart.

He couldn’t help feeling a bit doubtful when such an arrangement of connected layers appeared in the same array.

There were too many traps and puzzles set up in the array. Almost all people and mutated beasts could be targeted. Even Ye Chen felt that if he wasn’t lucky, he wouldn’t even have the possibility of escaping.

Although the Feather Dragons had the ability to advance, according to the introductions of the various families, there were almost no Feather Dragons of the Divine Beast Level that had appeared in recent years. If they could only nurture so few Divine Beasts, why would they need to use such secured arrangements to protect them?

If these arrangements were set up before the Feather Dragons were imprisoned here, what made the Yan family send the new family leader, who wasn’t considered outstanding compared to those of the previous generations, to take the risk to come here and continue with the acknowledgement of the altar’s master that could have been delayed?

After the death of the new family leader, Yan Yi, did the Yan family still try to sacrifice the few Feather Dragons in their hands to break in?

What were they hiding? Was there something else hidden in the array?

Ye Chen couldn’t convince himself to ignore all of this.

He knew that he actually had a variety of mutated beast species. Under normal circumstances, even continent-level masters would probably find it difficult to gather them. They each had their own preferences in terms of the attributes of Spiritual Energy. These preferences determined which types of mutated beasts they could defeat and take in more easily.

Therefore, if the person who broke in wasn’t Ye Chen, he would have probably died here.

“Master, Little Purple felt that this illusionary fog made it uncomfortable, so it left first.” At this moment, the Godly Sea Steadying Needle at the side spoke. “Is there anything else we have to look at?”

Ye Chen finally came back to his senses.

“Yes. Logically speaking, this mental world belongs to the Ice Fire Beetle. The secret chamber in the fire array should also be nearby. Ask Little Purple to look for it and see if it has the same situation.” He added.

The first time the Divine Beasts discovered the existence of the illusionary fog was in the secret chamber of the fire array. It would certainly be better if they could determine the location of the secret chamber of the fire array.

This was because once Goulong and Zhurong weakened the secret chamber in the original array, Little Purple had to enter the secret chamber and search it at the highest speed.

Although the Kun Peng was only in Little Purple’s body at the moment, it was definitely possible to use the Extreme Speed to move Little Purple rapidly with protection.

If possible, Ye Chen planned to ask Little Purple not to leave this mental world and directly move to the secret chamber in the fire array.

After all, it would take some time for Little Purple to enter the mental world. He didn’t want to waste time because of this.

Under his instructions, Little Purple indeed found the secret chamber of the fire array not far from this one.

Judging from this, the structure of the mental world of the Ice Fire Beetle was actually the same as the ice and fire arrays. There was an obvious connection between the oval spaces where the two secret chambers were. Through this connection, one could reach the secret chamber of the fire array.

Since there were no fire-type mutated beasts present, no one would help Zhurong close the door when it returned to the secret chamber in the fire array to rest.

The message that the Godly Sea Steadying Needle sent to Ye Chen was very simple. The secret chamber here was also filled with white fog.

Little Purple approached the secret chamber to investigate like it did before. It also sent in some Spiritual Energy for the Godly Sea Steadying Needle to analyze.

As expected, Zhurong’s Spiritual Energy was indeed mixed in the illusionary fog of the Deep Sea Dragons.

After confirming this, Little Purple quickly left the illusionary fog. It seemed to be planning to shut down the detection of the Titan’s Eye and leave the mental world, but it was stopped.

“…This is very important. Let me tell Master.”

Little Purple’s voice sounded as if it was talking to Monkey. The two Divine Beasts exchanged a few words and Little Purple started to report the new situation to Ye Chen.

“Master, the Titan Energy Stone on Monkey’s side is connected to my Titan’s Eye, so it can also use the Energy Stone to affect me. There’s a problem with the golden feather on its side right now,” it said, “Monkey said that when the golden feather was connected to me, it was burning. At the same time, it heard other sounds in the golden feather, but this sound didn’t come from Senior Zhurong, who’s possessing Big Sister’s body.”

Zhurong who was currently possessing the Immortal Phoenix was its consciousness left on the fragment of its Spirit Pool that was the center of the fire array. The golden feather was given by Zhurong’s main body, so it could connect to the consciousness of more than one fragment of the Spirit Pool. 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮

According to the frequency of the awakening, the fragment of the Spirit Pool in the secret chamber of the mental world should also be in the awakening period.

Monkey obviously heard the sound of another fragment of the Spirit Pool in the fog. This was definitely something to pay attention to.

“What did the golden feather say?” Ye Chen asked.

“It’s asking if anyone is here. It probably heard our voices.” Little Purple said, “Master, it seems that we can communicate with it.”

Ye Chen certainly agreed.

“Indeed. Little Purple, go to the entrance of the secret chamber and keep greeting it. Try not to enter the illusionary fog and see if the other party can give you an answer.”

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, Little Purple immediately turned around and continued to lean against the door of the secret chamber.

Too much of the illusionary fog would affect its judgment, so the Kun Peng created a small Spirit Wall Space for Little Purple to cover its head, so that it could transmit its voice without being affected by the illusionary fog.

After Little Purple’s communication, what Zhurong’s consciousness said also reached Ye Chen bit by bit.

Zhurong’s consciousness didn’t seem to have a strict thinking system. When it learned that someone had really come to this mental world and could hear its voice, it asked Ye Chen to bring it to its main body. When it received permission, it kept asking them to be careful and instructed them to find a secret treasure hidden in the mental world first.

However, it only knew that this secret treasure was related to a sunken old continent. Once a creature touched it directly, it would be sent to an unknown place. However, it didn’t know the name and location of the secret treasure at all.
