“Godly Sea Steadying Needle, come here. Why has your rank changed?” Ye Chen’s voice sounded a little shocked.

The Godly Sea Steadying Needle was still coiled around the five-meter long bone pillar. Many crisscrossing golden patterns had appeared on the surface of the previously pure white bone pillar. Its silver-gray body seemed to have grown a little longer as well and every dragon scale was reflecting blue

light in the setting sun.

“Woo…” It nodded and let out a childish dragon cry. It clearly didn’t have the ability to speak yet.

However, when Ye Chen said that, the other four Divine Beasts also looked at the Godly Sea Steadying Needle in surprise.

‘There were two Divine Beasts that could advance to higher levels here? The Divine Beasts then started asking Ye Chen questions one after another.

“Master, can it also become a Divine Beast? Can it speak too?” The Immortal Phoenix asked. It loved a lively atmosphere. Little Purple was usually silent and the Kun Peng loved to quarrel with Monkey. It was a little bored and wished that it had more companions to chat with.

“Little Purple also became a Divine Beast from S-rank, but that was after absorbing the blood of the Pseudo-Star beast. Besides, Little Purple has always been able to advance. What’s going on with this little dragon? Is it also an artificial Divine Beast?” Monkey asked as well. Little Purple, who was beside

it, nodded constantly.

“The Godly Sea Steadying Needle is now at the SSS rank, but it should have the possibility of advancing. As for whether it’s an artificial Divine Beast or not, I’m not sure.” Ye Chen looked at the question mark behind the rank of the Godly Sea Steadying Needle on the data panel and answered.

He didn’t hatch the Godly Sea Steadying Needle with his blood. He could only ask about its detailed information after it became a Divine Beast.

“Master, the Godly Sea Steadying Needle has been with us for more than a day. Do you know if it’s male or female?” Then, it was the Kun Peng who asked. Its focus was relatively special. “Monkey wasn’t knocking a girl on a stone just now, was it?”

“Treally have no idea about that.” Ye Chen was amused. He didn’t expect the Kun Peng to care about this. “I’ll check the Wasteland Remembrance for more details later. Now, let’s go home and eat.”

“Go home? Master, you want us to return to the Divine Court?” The Immortal Phoenix asked. “Although we’re carrying those contaminated Spirit Stones, this is the border of the two worlds. Our auras are concealed and those people won’t be able to find us.”

“That’s right. Besides, the Spiritual Energy in the Divine Court is thin, so our cultivation speed will also be slower.” The Kun Peng added.

“In the main world, we have to be careful about everything.” Ye Chen shook his head and raised his finger to point at the mountains behind him. It was where the crack that he had repaired with the Heaven Mending Barrier was.

“Tknow you think that the Spiritual Energy inside is weaker, but we can use the Spirit Stones we brought back to build an array to cultivate. We can even enter the Mystic Realm. The Spiritual Energy there won’t be weaker than in the outside world. Therefore, returning to the Divine Court is our best option

right now.”

After all, before Ye Chen left, he had used the Heaven Mending Barrier to reinforce the core area of the Divine Court. Other than him and the mutated beasts that he had contracted, no one could enter that place.

After hearing this, the five mutated beasts reluctantly followed Ye Chen back to the Divine Court. Especially for the four Divine Beasts who had already felt the abundant Spiritual Energy in the outside world, they were still somewhat disappointed when facing their barren hometown.

It was not until Ye Chen finished roasting a lot of meat that the atmosphere among the five mutated beasts became lively again. All of them ate until their bellies were round and they surrounded the huge bonfire and fell asleep.

Ye Chen wasn’t in the mood to eat, drink, and play with them, He found the place with the most Spiritual Energy in the Divine Court. There was a pond here with fine sand at the bottom.

“This place should be the center of the Divine Court Spirit Gathering Array. It’s quite good. I don’t even need to set it up.” Ye Chen muttered to himself. He opened his inventory and took out the advanced Water Spirit Stones that the Immortal Phoenix and the Kun Peng brought back.

“The effect will be even better if I set up the array after cleaning the Spirit Stone, right?”

The next second after this thought came to his mind, a notification appeared in front of him.

[Reminder: Use fire to roast it moderately. It can break the ordinary Spirit Stones]

“Right on time.”

Ye Chen ignited the Undying Divine Fire in his hand and picked up an advanced Spirit Stone, roasting the ordinary Spirit Stone base that was stuck to it with the Divine Fire.

After a while, a few cracks finally appeared on the base. Ye Chen put out his Divine Fire and peeled off the base that was stained with the dried blood of the Spirit Stealing Snake. Then, he washed the Spirit Stone again.

The surface of the light blue Spirit Stone was smooth, without any damage.

Ye Chen heaved a sigh of relief and used the same method to deal with the remaining eight Spirit Stones.

The reason why he wanted to do this himself was mainly because his Divine Fire was weaker than that of the Immortal Phoenix. If he let the Immortal Phoenix burn the base, it might break the Spirit Stone.

Before heading to the night market, Ye Chen took some time to go to the largest library in the city. He used the system reminder to screen out many books that he needed to buy, including information related to Spirit Stones.

There were roughly two types of Spirit Stones. One was ordinary Spirit Stones from the Primitive World, and the other was Spirit Stones from foreign realms.

The former had a very high quantity and they generally had good and bad quality, but it was impossible to extract the Spiritual Energy from them. The only advantage was that they were hard and could withstand the attacks of any mutated beast of any grade below the $ rank. They could also be used to

hide aura. It was precisely after discovering these two characteristics that people started to use advanced mutated beasts to mine these stones and use them to build cities.

The latter was relatively rare and had its own attributes. They usually appeared in various parts of foreign realms in the form of small particles. If the Spirit Stones were complete, not only could they produce Spiritual Energy, but they also had other uses. Their only weakness was that they broke easily.

Perhaps this was the reason why the person who set up the array in the underground palace in the Pavillion had inlaid these Spirit Stones from foreign realms in ordinary Spirit Stones to protect them.

Ye Chen didn’t really trust the Divine Beasts with such fragile treasures. They might crack right away.

Right now, the nine Spirit Stones had already been cleaned.

Ye Chen recalled the locations of the Spirit Stones in the array and placed them at the bottom of the pond.

After placing the last Spirit Stone, Ye Chen suddenly felt that the concentration of Spiritual Energy in the Divine Court was increasing at a rapid speed.

“The effect of the Spirit Gathering Array is quite good.” Ye Chen crossed his arms and felt quite satisfied. “The good stuff from outside should indeed be used to strengthen my house.

“The next step is to wait for the Divine Beasts to rest, then cultivate and enter the Mystic Realm to have a look..”
