Desolate Era: Hatching a Phoenix at the Beginning-Chapter 119 - How to Enter the Spirit Pool

Around stone door appeared at the bottom of the pool.

The Immortal Phoenix had indeed controlled the torch well. A large number of mutated beast skeletons were still piled at the bottom of the pool and hadn’t been burnt.

“Master, look. Is there anything we need in these bones?” The Immortal Phoenix stopped the flames and asked Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was carefully looking at the bones all over the ground.

[Feather Dragon Skeleton, Body]

He first found the remaining skeleton of the Feather Dragon. The skeleton happened to be around the stone door. It was huge and eye-catching. He soon put it in his inventory.

‘The hidden prompt message didn’t appear probably because its function wasn’t much different from that of the Feather Dragon Skull.

As for the other mutated beast skeletons, he also removed the Ice Fire Armor and examined them one by one after the mist lifted. Unfortunately, they didn’t catch his eye.

One reason was that they were too damaged. Even if he brought them out, it would be very difficult to find someone who would buy them.

Secondly, it was because the levels of these mutated beasts were generally very low. Ye Chen really felt that the empty slots in his inventory were very precious. If there was something good, it would be another story. However, if such a group of low-level mutated beasts were to be placed in, they would

really be taking up the slots in his inventory for nothing.

“Sun God Envoy, I don’t need these. Deal with them.” Ye Chen said to the Immortal Phoenix after checking the pile of mutated beast skeletons.

‘The main reason was that they were piled on the ground and blocked his sight. With this pile of bones, Ye Chen could barely see the patterns on the stone door on the ground.

“Alright, I’ll burn them all now.” The Immortal Phoenix heaved a sigh of relief. It was really difficult for it to burn half of them just now.

The golden light on the Immortal Phoenix’s body shone once again, as if a ball of fire had suddenly exploded, illuminating the pale skeletons beside it.

The moment it was illuminated, the skeletons started burning one after another. The sound of the bones cracking kept coming around Ye Chen and the Divine Beasts.

After a while, the skeletons all over the ground turned into ashes and the pool completely dried up.

‘The full appearance of the gray door finally appeared in front of everyone.

Unlike the door at the Python Race’s altar, this door almost covered the bottom of the original pool. There were no clear drawings of mutated beasts on it, but it was covered in black patterns, which looked like black earthworms crawling all over the place, making people feel a chill in their minds.

This didn’t look like a door. It had a very old style.

The moment he saw the door, a system notification appeared.

(Door to Level 6 and Level 7 of the Mystic Realm]

[Reminder: Both levels are in an array. Open the door to enter.]

[Hidden prompt message: Sacrificing thousands of mutated beasts can weaken the seal of the door. Entering the array will be even faster.] 𝗳𝘳𝐞e𝙬𝙚𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟𝗲l.𝑐𝑜ｍ

[Hidden prompt message: Special Dragons have a huge variety of types of Spiritual Energy, which can temporarily open the door.]

Abunch of hidden prompt messages stunned Ye Chen for a few seconds. After he sorted it out and read it, his expression became more serious.

“Looks like the Kun Peng is really quite capable. Its guess is basically right.” Ye Chen muttered to himself, “I just didn’t expect that this Mystic Realm actually has two arrays.”

Little Purple came forward and widened the Titan’s Eye on its forehead.

“Master, there is indeed the power of arrays behind this door. Moreover, judging from the direction of the circulation of Spiritual Energy, it seems to be the intersection point of the two arrays.” It reported to Ye Chen.

“I know. There are two arrays behind this door. They are the sixth and seventh levels of the Mystic Realm.” Ye Chen replied, “The sixth and seventh levels we saw in the mini Mystic Realm are most likely fake. Those two levels might just be the two gills of the Ice Fire Beetle.”

This was the first Mystic Realm he had explored and he had actually encountered a rare “fake Mystic Realm.”

‘The so-called fake Mystic Realm was that the wild beast that formed the Mystic Realm had some special body tissues that remained after the Mystic Realm was formed, forming a fake Mystic Realm that could deceive people.

This was usually not an important place, so there wouldn’t be secret treasures. People who came to explore were often pointed the wrong way because of that.

For example, in the Ice Fire Beetle Mystic Realm this time, its two gills had transformed into the two levels of the Mystic Realm. Not to mention Ye Chen, even Zhurong, who had shrunk the entire Mystic Realm, was probably deceived.

“That’s really tricky.” Ye Chen muttered softly but realized that Little Purple was looking at him speechlessly.

“Master, how did you know that?” It asked.

Ye Chen was speechless for a second.

Little Purple wasn’t like the Immortal Phoenix, Monkey, and the others. It was meticulous. He probably couldn’t muddle through just by saying that this was its master’s special ability.

However, Ye Chen didn’t plan to reveal all his trump cards at the moment, even if he was facing his own Divine Beasts.

“It’s just my guess.” Ye Chen decided to get information from Little Purple in the end without turning a hair. “I felt two different types of Spiritual Energy inside, so I made such a guess. Am I correct?”

“Master, you’re really sensitive.” As expected, Little Purple no longer had any doubts. “I looked at it for a while before confirming that there are two types of Spiritual Energy, water and fire. However, you sensed them immediately. Is it because the types of your Spiritual Energy match with those inside?

You’re indeed my master!”

“I’s nothing.” Ye Chen smiled and turned to the Kun Peng. “Idiot, I thought about it just now and think that your guess about opening the array makes sense. Why don’t you give it a try?”

“But to open the door, it needs the Spiritual Energy of the Godly Sea Steadying Needle. What has it got to do with me?” The Kun Peng was very confused.

“You’re wrong about that. Idiot, how can we let the Godly Sea Steadying Needle work alone?” Ye Chen said seriously, “So many mutated beasts died here as blood sacrifices to weaken the arrays. We definitely have to rely on you for this.”

“What do you mean? Master, are you planning to use me as a blood sacrifice?” The Kun Peng was startled and it said something shocking, making Ye Chen speechless.

“What are you thinking about? Use your brain!” He knocked on the Kun Peng fiercely. “You devoured so many mutated beasts in your early years. Can’t you share some of their blood from your stomach?”

The Kun Peng finally understood.

“So that’s what you meant. Hehe, I had quite a bit in my stomach at that time. I was just afraid that I wouldn’t have anything to eat if I was hungry one day. Don’t worry, I have a lot of mutated beast blood here!”

It put Ye Chen and the other Divine Beasts down and curled up its body again. Water vapor quickly condensed and a giant fish appeared in front of everyone.
