Desolate Era: Hatching a Phoenix at the Beginning Chapter 205 – The Third Stone Pillar

After making the suggestion, the leader of the Feather Dragons saw that Ye Chen seemed to have already decided on the next step of the plan, so it expressed that it was not going to accompany him and went to discuss the plan to leave the arrays with the other divine beasts.

Since it was indeed the leader of a race and had a huge responsibility, Ye Chen did not stop it. In the fire array, he asked Little Purple to make a small space for the Ice Fire Armor at a low temperature so that the Godly Sea Steadying Needle could rest. He also left Monkey and Kun Peng to take care of it. Then, he brought Little Purple to the intersection of the ice and fire arrays.

No matter how many times they came, the two arrays were clearly closely connected but were completely different. It made people unable to adapt visually. The main reason was that this space was too huge for a human like Ye Chen.

If it was just a small item or a room with different colors, people would be able to take a few more looks when they passed by. However, the space was too big and the interior wasn’t detailed enough, so people wouldn’t look at it often.

Ye Chen’s deep impression of this place was basically only left with the circular door on the ground. Other than that, it was when the Spirit Stones had almost hurt him due to a tremor caused by the refinement of Monkey’s Spiritual Energy.

“Alright, Little Purple, search this place. Don’t miss a single corner,” he said to Little Purple.

Little Purple nodded and retreated a few meters, returning to its original form. For Little Purple, who could stand nearly 100 meters tall when standing upright, the size of this space was really not enough.

However, even if there was a gel made from the corpses of the Deep Sea Dragons as a cover, Ye Chen was not worried about Little Purple’s strength.

Firstly, there was no obvious illusionary mist here, which meant that the influence was not as good as the situation in the secret chamber.

Secondly, when Little Purple’s ability was combined with the Godly Sea Steadying Needle, it had investigated the mental world that was gradually overlapping with the real world. However, the Godly Sea Steadying Needle’s bone pillar that was used for perception was taken out, leaving behind the two pieces of cut gel after the two worlds overlapped. He placed them in Little Purple’s stomach to help with perception, but the effect didn’t seem to have changed much.

In short, Little Purple was still able to search for the power of the Deep Sea Dragons.

After some searching, Little Purple indeed made a discovery.

“Master, something’s not right here.” It carefully observed the four walls and the floor after it arrived at the intersection of the ice and fire arrays. Then, it looked at the ceiling. After a while, it stuck its head out and pointed at a protruding stone.

“No wonder you didn’t find anything unusual even after walking through here so many times with the Titan’s Eye.” Ye Chen exclaimed, “The thing was actually hidden on the ceiling?”

There was a narrow and sharp stone on the ceiling, like the remaining part of a huge rock after two holes were dug out.

When Ye Chen was judging the process of making the ice and fire arrays, he had guessed based on the shape of the ceiling. However, there was something wrong with its shape after he looked at it carefully.

If the stone was indeed formed by the combination of the two arrays, its shape should be quite sharp. However, the protruding stone in front of Ye Chun seemed to be too long and blunt, as if a stone slab had been connected to the original lower edge.

If not for Little Purple’s observation, Ye Chen might not have noticed this trace of strangeness in the distance.

Those were traces of artificial processing.

Ye Chen did not let Little Purple touch the object directly. Instead, he climbed onto Little Purple’s head and observed it with it.

“Can you see the truth here?” He asked Little Purple.

“I can see it clearly,” Little Purple replied. “The lower part of this stone was installed. Although I’m not sure how it was fixed, I can see that its shape should be a cylinder that was fixed below the original stone.”

As it spoke, it even boldly knocked its snout against the stone.

Ye Chen quickly reached out and patted it to stop it.

“Don’t touch anything that you can’t figure out,” he warned. “It’s the one that originally exists in the mental world. If we touch it, it will be sent to another world. So, if you encounter these hiding things, try to stay away, especially when I’m still above you.”

Little Purple retracted its head.

“But it seems to have loosened,” it said softly to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen looked at the rock that looked like it was about to fall. The reason why it had yet to fall was probably because it was held up by the other Spirit Stones on the ceiling. After Little Purple hit it just now, the balance of the rock became even more unstable.

“No way. There’s something so easy to destroy in this array? It can’t be a trap, right?” He was a little puzzled.

All the arrangements in the ice and fire arrays were very exquisite, making Ye Chen a little in disbelief. However, the system notification did not appear for his reference.

“Anyway, Little Purple has already tried. It’ll be fine if I touch it.” He sighed and reached his hand out to the stone.

What if the system notification didn’t trigger because he couldn’t see the truth? He would touch it and then continue to wait for the system notification.

However, what Ye Chen did not expect still happened. He clearly touched the area that Little Purple had just touched, but the moment his skin touched the surface of the stone, he heard a loud sound. It shocked him so much that he almost let go and slid down Little Purple’s head.

That sound was different from the sounds of mutated beasts he had heard before. Instead, it was similar to the sound of an inanimate object like the bell.

Fortunately, a system notification did appear.

[Reminder: World Connection is underway. Preparation for transmigration. Please wait a moment.]

“What transmigration?” Ye Chen was stunned and immediately retracted his hand.

“Little Purple, put me down!” He quickly shouted at Little Purple.

“Alright, but Master, why are you connecting your Spiritual Energy to it?” Little Purple asked in doubt. “I can see what’s above me with the Titan’s Eye.”

Only then did Ye Chen notice that his Spiritual Energy was flowing out and constantly entering the stone. No matter how he controlled it, he could not retract it.

“This thing is targeting me, right?” He was furious. “Little Purple, tear that thing off now!”

Since Little Purple was not affected, he would ask Little Purple to destroy it. Then, he would definitely be able to break the connection!

Little Purple did not hesitate at all. After Ye Chen gave the order, it bit the stone and dragged it down without hesitation. However, the strange thing was that it didn’t seem to be able to tear it off or bite it off. The “stone” seemed to be very tough.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen, who was watching nearby, noticed that as his Spiritual Energy was constantly sucked away, the original appearance of the stone became clearer.

It was a stone pillar wrapped in gel. There were familiar flower vines and spell patterns.
