Desolate Era: Hatching a Phoenix at the Beginning

“I don’t care what it is. I’ll tear it down first and dig out Senior Zhurong’s Spirit Pool fragment!” As the Immortal Phoenix spoke, it wanted to move its claws, but was stopped by Ye Chen.

“Sun God Envoy, don’t do that.” He stopped the Immortal Phoenix and said, “You have a bloodline connection with Zhurong and the same Divine Power. It’s best not to do anything so rashly.”

“That’s right, Big Sister. The Spiritual Energy flow on it seems to be connected to Master’s body, as if it’s monitoring Master. It might be dangerous to attack rashly.” Little Purple also said, “Why don’t you give me some time to concentrate my Spiritual Energy to see what the material wrapped outside is? Then, we’ll decide what to do.”

“Little Purple is right. Besides, we have other things to do. For example, investigate this door in the secret room.” Ye Chen added.

“How do we investigate this door?” The Immortal Phoenix looked at the door of the secret chamber. “I feel that the material of the door is no different from that of the other walls here. Isn’t it the same thing as the walls outside? Master, you seem to have said that it’s the semi-petrified tissue of the Ice Fire Beetleâ€)”

The array was built in the Ice Fire Beetle Mystic Realm, so the four walls were naturally formed by the body tissues of the Ice Fire Beetle. It didn’t find it strange.

“That’s the problem.” Ye Chen said to the Immortal Phoenix, “Sun God Envoy, do you remember that when we were outside the door, you showed me the Art of Zhurong many times but it didn’t cause any abnormalities?” “I remember. Wasn’t it blocked by the door?” The Immortal Phoenix asked in doubt.

“No, it’s not a problem with the door. As far as I know, the Ice Fire Beetle’s semi-petrified tissue only has high defense power and the ability to guide Spiritual Energy. It doesn’t have any resistance to Spiritual Energy, nor does it have the ability to completely block the Spiritual Energy flow.” Ye Chen explained, “Think about it carefully. If you still remember the resistance of the Feather Dragons, you will understand that there’s no difference whether it’s open or not.” What Ye Chen specifically mentioned was the description of the secret chamber in the ice array by the leader of the Feather Dragons.

The leader of the Feather Dragons had also described what happened before the array was sealed.

At that time, the people who came to take away the young Feather Dragons regularly knew that the Feather Dragons didn’t dare to approach them. They often opened the door of the secret chamber in front of the imprisoned mutated beasts and used the Art of Goulong to communicate with Goulong’s relic. This action was to stabilize the connection between the array and its master. Not only was the trap never triggered, but it also made the array stronger, causing the mutated beasts to feel more and more depressed. This made Ye Chen, who had fallen into the trap, believe that the trigger of the trap was targeted. However, he remembered the details of the resistance of the Feather Dragons.

To the Feather Dragons, the only good opportunity to trap the person who entered with the cultivation art tablet was when the other party entered the secret chamber to replenish the energy in the relic.

Therefore, the Feather Dragons chose to wait for the other party to enter the secret chamber and let those with stronger Spiritual Energy rush in to attack.

Perhaps the new continent-level master realized that the Feather Dragons in the array had already rested for a long time and he wasn’t confident in his own abilities, so he closed the door to the secret chamber. The Feather Dragons knocked open the door forcefully and succeeded in their surprise attack.

Although many Feather Dragons had already learned the Art of Goulong through the teachings of the Goulong’s consciousness, they obeyed the rules and only used the Art of Goulong to create a complicated space to fight with that person outside the secret chamber because of the instructions of Goulong’s consciousness. In the end, they severely injured him and he escaped into a newly-built small space and died. That was the small cave where Ye Chen discovered the human skeleton.

By looking at this information only, Ye Chen wouldn’t feel that anything was wrong. However, the key was that the leader of the Feather Dragons mentioned an unusual situation at that time inadvertently.

The moment the Feather Dragons rushed into the secret chamber, that person immediately stopped releasing the power of the Art of Goulong. It was this strange behavior that caused the temporary pause, giving the Feather Dragons an opportunity to attack.

Why did he stop using the Art of Goulong? If he hadn’t stopped using the Art of Goulong and instead created a complicated space inside the secret chamber to protect himself, the chances of survival would have been higher!

Ye Chen was very confused when he heard that at that time, but he could only accept the explanation that “the man underestimated the Feather Dragons.”

But now, Ye Chen thought that he had found the reason.

The reason why that person chose to stop using the Art of Goulong forcefully was very likely because the Feather Dragons got in and satisfied the condition for triggering the trap.

According to the situation in the secret chamber of the fire array, triggering the trap would cause the Spiritual Energy in Goulong’s relic to be absorbed and then released within the entire ice array until the person who performed the Art of Goulong left the ice array. The person it involved must be the one who performed the art. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Ye Chen’s body had a Spiritual Energy flow connected to Zhurong’s relic.

If the person who designed the door was really trying to protect the secret treasure in the center of the array, they should focus on toughness, preventing the mutated beasts fron opening or breaking them to eliminate the possibility of them entering the secret chamber. However, the doors didn’t have such an effect. The Feather Dragons quickly knocked open the door, and what it brought to the person was only the sound of the Feather Dragons hitting it.

Apparently, after hearing the voice, the person realized that the Feather Dragons had started resisting again and was about to rush into the secret chamber. Moreover, he couldn’t escape from the ice array without being affected by the power of Goulong’s relic within a safe period of time. Therefore, he stopped releasing his Spiritual Energy to prevent himself from being accidentally injured by the trap. So, what was the condition that the Feather Dragons satisfied?

Of course, it wouldn’t possibly be the Spiritual Energy of Divine Beasts, because the Art of Goulong that person used came from Goulong.

There was only one answer. They satisfied the condition of the bloodline.

The Feather Dragons and the Human-Faced Snakes that Goulong was from had a deep blood relation.

If the conditions for triggering the trap were the Spiritual Energy and bloodline of the owner of the Spirit Pool fragment, it would explain why Ye Chen triggered the trap when he was in the secret chamber.

The power came from Ye Chen himself while the bloodline came from the Immortal Phoenix. Its kind was also deeply related to Zhurong’s.

At this moment, the only problem became obvious.

Based on the material, the door of the secret chamber didn’t have the effect of blocking Spiritual Energy flows. Based on the facts, when the door of the secret chamber was opened back then, the person who used the Art of Goulong in front of the Feather Dragons nearby didn’t trigger the trap. This meant that the perception of Spiritual Energy of the Spiritual Pond fragment in the secret chamber had nothing to do with the material of the door.

Then, what separated the inside of the secret chamber from the outside?

What secrets did it have?
