Desolate Era: Hatching a Phoenix at the Beginning Chapter 106 – Obstructed When Dripping Blood and Incubating

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ye Chen, Monkey and the Godly Sea Steadying Needle rode on the Kun Peng’s back and waited above the Fire Kite Mountain.

Just as the Immortal Phoenix said previously, he wanted to try to incubate the ancient Divine Beast, Zhurong, from this huge egg. However, Ye Chen wasn’t sure if the method of incubation with dripping blood could be applied on an ancient Divine Beast like Zhurong. After all, the system didn’t send out

any incubation reminders.

However, Ye Chen knew that his blood had a stronger contractual ability and stronger energy. He remembered that when the Immortal Phoenix and the Kun Peng advanced together, the system had reminded him about the method to use blood to help the mutated beasts speed up their advancement.

Therefore, he decided to gamble with his characteristics.

The first thing he needed to do was to awaken Zhurong’s consciousness again.

The huge hole on the top of Fire Kite Mountain that the Immortal Phoenix created had already been patched up automatically. To enter, they could only use the cultivation art tablet.

Because after the Immortal Phoenix came into contact with the cultivation art tablet last time, it didn’t take the tablet with it. Hence, to be safe, Ye Chen asked Little Purple to bring the cultivation art tablet and the Immortal Phoenix back to the array together while he waited above Fire Kite Mountain.

Ye Chen looked down at the Demon Flame Mountain again and carefully observed the surroundings.

‘The mountains and land around the Demon Flame Mountain were pitch-black with golden-red magma and burning Earth Fire in between. They spread all the way to the coast, causing the temperature here to be unusually high.

However, after Fire Kite Mountain was closed, the temperature seemed to have dropped significantly. Ye Chen looked into the distance. The Earth Fire had also weakened drastically, proving that Zhurong’s consciousness had disappeared.

“Tt seems that although the mountain range here is only the remains of Zhurong before he went into the Nirvana state, it is still affected by it.” Ye Chen pondered. “The Immortal Phoenix will absorb its remaining energy after it succeeds in reaching the Nirvana state. I wonder if Zhurong will be like the

Immortal Phoenix.”

In this circumstance, Ye Chen didn’t really want Zhurong to absorb the energy and cause too much of a commotion.

After successfully reaching the Nirvana state, the Immortal Phoenix would absorb its own energy, eggshell, and other miscellaneous things. This was still acceptable.

However, the entire Demon Flame Mountain had the power from Zhurong’s remains and fire had been burning for more than ten thousand years because of it. If Zhurong absorbed the energy, not only would the fire extinguish, even Demon Flame Mountain might disappear.

This way, the news of him incubating Zhurong would very likely be discovered by the people of the main world.

Ye Chen’s training method had always been to play safe. His strength in the main world wasn’t as good as in the Primitive Burial Ground, so he kept a low profile and tried to hide everything about himself.

For people like Gao Ming who accidentally learned that Ye Chen had Divine Beasts, Ye Chen didn’t leave any solid evidence for them either. It was just that he came out of the Li Residence in a hurry and didn’t have the time to finish him off.

The reason was that Ye Chen wasn’t strong enough now. If he attracted stronger people to come and take his beasts, the gains wouldn’t be able to make up for the losses.

If he could take Zhurong in, it would naturally be a good thing. However, it also meant that Ye Chen was at risk of being exposed.

After all, the most powerful Continent-Level masters wouldn’t be weaker than Zhurong. If such an existence was attracted here, Ye Chen felt that he might not be able to protect the mutated beasts.

Therefore, while he was looking forward to it, he was also slightly worried.

At that moment, he felt the ground below Demon Flame Mountain shake.

In the Demon Flame Mountain area, which had already cooled down a little, the activity of the lava suddenly became intense again. Flames surged and the temperature suddenly increased. Especially Fire Kite Mountain, some of the solidified magma at the foot of the mountain started to melt and flow. A

golden color wrapped around the giant egg mountain.

‘A familiar notification popped up above Fire Kite Mountain again.

[Remind: Fire Kite Mountain has been awakened by the Immortal Phoenix. You can open the Mystic Realm.]

In the next moment, the Immortal Phoenix that was holding Little Purple in the Ice Fire Armor above Fire Kite Mountain pierced through the volcano again and soared into the sky.

“Master! I did it!” It shouted at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen didn’t slow down either. He immediately ordered the Kun Peng, “Idiot, get close to the volcano now!”

‘The Kun Peng understood. It immediately went down, arriving above the volcano of Fire Kite Mountain.

At the same time, Ye Chen bit his finger and dripped blood on Fire Kite Mountain.

‘The Fire Kite Mountain, which had a small hole created by the Immortal Phoenix, was currently boiling with high-temperature golden-red lava. When the drops of blood dripped down, they were dried out and shattered in the air before they could get close to the mountain.

The system was silent. Nothing happened.

“I thought that the effect would be better if I dropped it directly into the Zhurong Egg. It turns out that it won’t work.” Ye Chen was a little sad.

“Master, it’s impossible to contract it with dried blood.” The Kun Peng reminded him. It had been observing Ye Chen’s situation. “Try dripping it on the eggshell beside it.”

Ye Chen nodded and commanded the Kun Peng to go to the side of the mountain. Some lava flowed down from time to time. When he touched it, he felt scorching hot. If not for the Fire Immunity that he inherited from the Immortal Phoenix, he suspected that his hand might have been burned.

He wiped the blood on his finger on the shell of the Zhurong Egg. The blood was still dried out quickly and turned into a shattered scab.

Nothing happened.

Ye Chen couldn’t be calm anymore.

“Logically speaking, dripping blood on it should help it hatch, but I can’t even drip blood on it. That doesn’t make sense!” He complained, “How can I give it my blood? I can’t possibly wait for the mountain to cool down, right?”

If he waited a little longer, the awakened Zhurong’s consciousness would fade away. The mountain would indeed cool down, but it would be useless for him to drip more blood on it!

Looking at the troubled Ye Chen, Little Purple spoke at the side.

“Master, can you keep a little of the blood and then ask Big Sister to bring it into the egg?” The large eye on Little Purple’s forehead emitted a dazzling purple light. “I think Senior Zhurong’s heart lacks energy the most. There’s not much heat there. We should just place the blood there.”

This suggestion made Ye Chen’s eyes brighten.

“Little Purple, only you can see the situation in the egg clearly. What do you think we should do?” He might as well let Little Purple come up with an idea and use the gift of its race well.

“Judging from the condition in the egg, it seems that it will retum to its original state every time Big Sister melts it…”

Little Purple gently pointed its head at the mountain.

“We can place the blood in the Ice Fire Armor. When the hole at the top is still open, Big Sister can melt Senior Zhurong’s heart and put it in your blood. Then, when the heart closes again, I’ll remove the Ice Fire Armor and release the blood. That should work.”

After hearing Little Purple’s explanation, Ye Chen became excited.

“Little Purple, your Titan’s Eye really helps a lot!” He praised, “Tl do as you say..”
