Ye Chen walked at the front of the group. He led the six mutated beasts out of the entrance of the array and instantly returned to the pond that had the Spirit Stone array set up.

Since they had already been seen, he naturally didn’t dare to stay in the main world for long, All he could do immediately was to bring Zhurong back to the Primitive Burial Ground.

“The key function in this cultivation art tablet is really useful. If it’s safe, I can give each mutated beast one in the future.” Ye Chen had an idea. “They can go to the main world anytime and can come back anytime. It’s simply too convenient.”

After returning to the Divine Court, Ye Chen finally relaxed in his territory.

“Alright, you can talk now. However, don’t return to your original form. This place can’t withstand your torment.” He said to Zhurong as he sat down beside the pond.

“Is this place of yours so fragile? I feel like it’s very well isolated from external auras.” Zhurong seemed to not believe it as it looked around the Divine Court.

“That’s because I used the Heaven Mending Barrier. There isn’t one inside.” Ye Chen explained, “Pay attention to the ground. There are Spirit Stones used to form an array in the pond. Don’t damage them.”

Ye Chen was telling the truth. No enemy dared to invade the Divine Court. A small part of the reason was that his Divine Beasts had already become famous during the beast tide. No one here could defeat them. And more importantly, he used the Heaven Mending Barrier to increase the protection of the

Divine Court. No one could enter at all.

However, the Divine Court’s internal defense wasn’t enough. If Zhurong, which was as tall as a mountain, really came, the Divine Court would collapse after two stomps.

“Indeed.” Zhurong frowned and said, “You awakened me. I want to thank you. If you need my help to repair your tribe, I can do that too.”

Hearing this, Ye Chen smiled.

“Are you planning to leave after thanking me?” He asked. “I’m still your master no matter what. It’s not nice of you to run away after repairing a house.”

Ye Chen immediately heard the mutated beasts beside him gasp.

“Master, be polite. I feel like Senior Zhurong alone can beat a hundred of me…” The Immortal Phoenix came close to Ye Chen’s ear and said. The Kun Peng also kept nodding at the side.

Apparently, the mutated beasts in Ye Chen’s hands were all a little afraid of Zhurong, this powerful new teammate. They didn’t realize that this ancient Divine Beast had already been taken in by Ye Chen.

However, Zhurong apparently didn’t think too much about it.

“Thave no intention of leaving, It’s just that I need to start cultivating quickly. I might not be able to travel with you for a long time.” It explained to Ye Chen, “If there’s anything I can help you with, it’s best to mention it now.”

“You said that you want to cultivate. Does it have something to do with the decrease in your current strength?” Ye Chen asked.

Regarding this, Zhurong answered very straightforwardly.

“Thave just awakened, but the consumption of power in these tens of thousands of years of failing to enter Nirvana has caused my strength to be unable to return to my peak state. Therefore, I want to find a hidden place to cultivate.” It said, “Do you know where I can find a suitable place nearby?”

Ye Chen shook his head regretfully after hearing this question.

“The outside world might be filled with rumors about Demon Flame Mountain at the moment. You might only be able to stay here. The place where we are now is where you used to use as a cemetery and there’s a lack of Spiritual Energy. The Divine Court is already the best in terms of the condition of

Spiritual Energy right now.”

“In that case, please lend me this mountain.” Zhurong wasn’t picky. It smiled heartily at Ye Chen. “If it’s fine, I’ll go and cultivate now. If you still need my help, please tell me.”

“You have a good personality.”

Ye Chen looked at Zhurong that had turned into its human form and felt that it didn’t have the appearance of a Divine Beast at all. It was more like an ordinary person of the same generation as his. It didn’t give him any pressure, so he didn’t stand on ceremony either.

“I want to ask if you have any cultivation arts or treasures that are suitable for them.”

Ye Chen wasn’t satisfied with the current situation.

Although he didn’t pay a huge price, he had awakened an ancient Divine Beast after all. Unfortunately, Zhurong’s strength had been weakened and it couldn’t join their main world expedition immediately.

Therefore, Ye Chen planned to get cultivation arts from Zhurong and quickly increase the abilities of his other mutated beasts.

After all, Zhurong was only losing its strength. It definitely had an ancient cultivation art. It was just that because of the problem of the data panel that Ye Chen couldn’t see the name of the cultivation art right now.

Under Ye Chen’s anticipated gaze, Zhurong spoke.

“Mine are basically fire-type and earth-type cultivation arts. They might not be of much use to most of your mutated beasts.” It handed Ye Chen a golden feather. “The way to use it is the same as your cultivation art tablet.”

Then, it suddenly put its hands into its abdomen.

“What are you doing?!” Ye Chen couldn’t help but shout.

Zhurong’s disguise was no different from an ordinary person. It looked like a short man with a golden fur coat. Its red hair had also turned brown.

So, its action really shocked Ye Chen.

‘When he looked carefully, he realized that the other party didn’t do anything to hurt him. It seemed that it only reached into the storage bag under its wings after it got in disguise and took out a small light green box.

The small box was irregularly round. There was a colorful glow on its surface, but also some obvious burn marks.

“What is this?” Ye Chen took the small box and felt that it was surprisingly heavy.

“This is the Ice Fire Beetle that was raised by someone near me when my consciousness was still present. They wanted to suppress my strength, which is to extinguish the Demon Flame Mountain you mentioned.” Zhurong explained.

“This was originally placed above the egg that I transformed into in my Nirvana state. I suddenly fell down when I was awakened last time. When you awakened me again, it seemed to have come out of my body.”

“Are you saying that this is the Ice Fire Beetle Mystic Realm?” Ye Chen looked at the box in his hand in shock. This time, he noticed that the smooth edges and the glimmering surface of the small box were indeed similar to a shell.

“According to you, that’s right.” Zhurong confirmed. “Now, I’ve already opened the remaining five levels. However, I’m afraid of damaging its interior, so I decided to let you open them. The water-type treasures inside will probably benefit your water-type mutated beast.”

This was too ridiculous.

Ye Chen fiddled with the small box that was formed from the Ice Fire Beetle Mystic Realm. He had never thought of using this method to figure out the structure of a Mystic Realm. At this moment, he truly felt the difference in strength between him and this mutated beast.

How long would it take for him and these little brats to level up and open the Mystic Realm?! No matter how much strength Zhurong lost, it could still open all seven levels with a wave of its hands!

Ye Chen couldn’t stop complaining in his heart.

After opening the shell, there were a total of seven levels in the Ice Fire Beetle Mystic Realm. Two of them had already been burnt to ashes and the remaining five levels, which were made of beetle flesh with ice crystals embedded in them, had been cut open layer by layer and cold air kept seeping out.

However, Ye Chen really couldn’t find a way to take out a rare treasure when facing such a miniature scenery.

“How do I get in and out?” He asked after observing it for a while and he gently closed the small box.

“You’ll be able to enter by touching the corresponding level and you can just fly back out.” Zhurong answered.

Ye Chen didn’t say anything else. He brought the five hiding mutated beasts to Zhurong one by one. 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚

“Sorry, my mutated beasts are insensible. They didn’t greet you just now.” He took a deep breath and bowed to Zhurong. “Please finish cultivating quickly and come out to guide us.”

No one knew that Ye Chen hid a roaring heart under his calm expression.

“The Mystic Realm of a Planet-Grade mutated beast is opened all at once.. I latched on to the right mutated beast!”
