Desolate Era: Hatching a Phoenix at the Beginning

Chapter 114: Passing Through the Semi-Petrified Ice Fire Beetle, Searching for the Spiritual Pool

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The ceiling of the fourth level of the Ice Fire Beetle Mystic Realm wasn’t obvious at first. After it melted, it showed a golden red color like ordinary lava. However, after the Immortal Phoenix pushed the lava into the surroundings and it solidified, it showed a slight difference.

Although it had turned slightly black after solidifying, it was different from the charcoal black color on Level 3 of the Mystic Realm. With sufficient Water Spiritual Energy to nourish it, its surface quickly froze. Then, it was melted by the Immortal Phoenix’s flames again. After washing, a silver luster appeared.

“There’s actually such a big difference even inside the Mystic Realm after reaching the fourth level?” Ye Chen was slightly shocked. He sent the Kun Peng forward and observed the rocks that were formed again.

After taking a closer look, he realized that these rocks weren’t pure silver in color. They were also reflecting a lot of colorful lights. They were very smooth when touched, almost like an irregular pearl wall.

Under his gaze, a system notification appeared.

[Residual tissue of the Ice Fire Beetle, Semi-petrified]

[Hidden prompt message: The Ice Fire Beetle’s semi-petrified tissue was stimulated and forced out by the Fire Spiritual Energy and was produced inside the body of an Ice Fire Beetle. It often appears near the Spirit Pool. A Ice Fire Beetle has strong defense and its body tissues are densed. The tissues have the ability to guide the circulation of Spiritual Energy and can help the person who touches it sort out their Spiritual Energy.)

[Hidden prompt message: Ice Fire Beetle’s semi-petrified tissue can be used to make containers to control and rear water-type beasts.]

“Looks like it’s another useless ability.” Ye Chen was a little disappointed. “The function of guiding Spiritual Energy is quite useful though. As for making a container… Do I still need to place my Divine Beasts in such a place? Only incapable people who can’t keep their own mutated beasts need it.”

Ye Chen now had six Divine Beasts. Other than the Godly Sea Steadying Needle that he obtained from the captain of the guards in Fan City, Gao Ming, and Zhurong that came out of Demon Flame Mountain, every mutated beast was a good companion that he had hatched. He didn’t need the help of a container made with the semi-petrified tissues of the Ice Fire Beetle.

And the Divine Beast, Godly Sea Steadying Needle, was kind of saved by Ye Chen and was very obedient to Ye Chen, this righteous master.

It was not Ye Chen’s style to lock the mutated beasts up and threaten them to listen to him.

Therefore, there was no need for Ye Chen to use the Ice Fire Beetle’s semi-petrified tissue. What he cared about was the seemingly useless function of guiding Spiritual Energy.

“If I can guide my Spiritual Energy to flow smoothly, I won’t have to worry about my abilities not advancing anymore.” He was secretly delighted again.

As a human, after obtaining the water-type constitution, Ye Chen discovered a special characteristic. If he wanted to get a special constitution and cultivate, he had to change the way of circulating Spiritual Energy to stimulate various meridians. Only then could he obtain good results.

After all, ordinary humans didn’t have a constitution of any special attribute. To cultivate one, they would have to rely on the Divine Powers of the mutated beasts that they inherited most of the time. Their way of circulating Spiritual Energy naturally would be different from usual. Therefore, compared to mutated beasts, humans definitely had bigger problems in terms of the circulation of Spiritual Energy.

While Ye Chen was circulating his Spiritual Energy, he could only rely on his body’s reaction to the Spiritual Energy to stimulate his meridians and he appeared to be in a passive position. Although there would be a result in the end, he would probably get greater benefits if he could make the Spiritual Energy flow more smoothly.

Therefore, the Ice Fire Beetle’s semi-petrified tissue was far more useful to Ye Chen than to his Divine Beasts.

After thinking about it, Ye Chen looked up at the other stones that had yet to melt at the top. They were dark in color and clearly didn’t have the shape of the stones in front of him.

In other words, these silver stones were forced out by the Immortal Phoenix’s flames. Ye Chen was purely lucky.

How could he not accept the benefits that were delivered right in front of him?

“Sun God Envoy, control your strength when dealing with the ceiling of the fourth level of the Mystic Realm. Don’t destroy these silver stones. Take them all down for me.” Thinking of this, Ye Chen immediately said to the Immortal Phoenix.

The Immortal Phoenix, who couldn’t see the system notification, was confused. However, it still obediently melted the stone and transformed the stones. After a while, a single huge rock stood in front of Ye Chen.

It was covered in black ash, but the silver with colorful lights at the bottom was also very eye-catching.

Ye Chen reached out to touch the huge rock and put it in his inventory.

“Master, look at you. What’s so good about this rock?” The Immortal Phoenix kept using the Art of Zhurong to extract the semi-petrified tissue of the Ice Fire Beetle in the Mystic Realm. At the same time, it asked curiously, “Could it be something as good as the Feather Dragon Marrow?”

Ye Chen shook his head.

“This thing is a part of the Ice Fire Beetle. It can be used to help humans cultivate. It’s less useful for you, but there might be a place called the Spirit Pool nearby. That will probably be helpful for you.”

The system notification said that this kind of semi-petrified tissue of the Ice Fire Beetle usually appeared near somewhere called the Spirit Pool.

The Spirit Pool was a relatively important part of an Ice Fire Beetle, the brain.

The Ice Fire Beetles were naturally different from ordinary beetles. They had a developed brain and the brain was born deep in their bodies as the commander of all their meridians.

The brain with such a function was obviously the source of the Spiritual Energy of the Ice Fire Beetle. If the remaining Spiritual Energy was completely released, it could also be used as food for the mutated beasts and could also nourish them.

Ye Chen briefly explained this little knowledge to the Divine Beasts.

“Master, there’s not enough Fire Spiritual Energy here. I’m a little weak. Can you help me?” The Immortal Phoenix became excited when it heard this and it quickly asked Ye Chen to give it some Spiritual Energy.

Ye Chen found it a bit funny, but he still ignited the Undying Divine Fire in his hand.

“Sun God Envoy, don’t be so anxious. When we find the Spirit Pool later, I’ll definitely keep you some.”

“Look down there. Could that huge pool be the Spirit Pool Master mentioned?” The Kun Peng interrupted.

Ye Chen lowered his head and looked down.

He was still some distance away from Level 5 of the Mystic Realm at the moment. He couldn’t see the pool below very clearly. However, judging from the abundant Spiritual Energy coming from there, it did look like a Spirit Pool.

“No!” Little Purple suddenly said, “There’s indeed a Spirit Pool below but there’s also a layer of water over it.. I can tell that the water in this pool is poisonous!”
