Desolate Era: Hatching a Phoenix at the Beginning Novel - Chapter 132

Chapter 132 The Strength of the Fragment of Zhurong’s Spirit Pool

“These flames can actually transform the Spirit Stones in the fire array?” The Immortal Phoenix cried out.

It couldn’t be blamed for being so surprised. After all, after knowing the secret of the Feather Dragons, no one wouldn’t be shocked.

After spending more than a day with the leader of the Feather Dragons, Ye Chen, who had a good relationship with the Divine Beasts, used his sincere attitude to gain the trust of the Feather Dragons. From this, he learned a lot of secrets about these mutated beasts.

It wasn’t something surprising that the bones of a Feather Dragon could produce Spirit Stones that were used as currency. However, even the person who entered the foreign realm to hunt for the Feather Dragons didn’t know that the quality of the Spirit Stones that the Feather Dragons could produce was also closely related to the environment.

In the main world, the Spirit Stones that people dug out to use as currency were just some stones that could absorb energy. The higher the Spiritual Energy content, the less impurities there were, hence determining the quality of the Spirit Stones. Since the Feather Dragons’ bones could absorb Spiritual Energy, Spirit Stones were produced.

However, the Spiritual Energy in the main world wasn’t sufficient and there was a mix of Spiritual Energy of different attributes. Therefore, the Spirit Stones produced only had the ability to store Spiritual Energy. One could only obtain Spiritual Energy by refining them. No one would usually do such an unworthy thing unless they had more than enough Spirit Stones.

The continent-level master who kept the Feather Dragons here in the past discovered that the Spirit Stones produced by the Feather Dragons’ corpses in the array contained more concentrated and pure Spiritual Energy. This was why he thought of refining the bones and Spirit Stones of the Feather Dragons in the fire array.

However, he didn’t expect that in a world with abundant Spiritual Energy, the Spirit Stones that the Feather Dragons could produce would be pure Spiritual Energy Crystals, precious Spirit Stones from foreign realms.

“Why didn’t you tell this information to that bad guy and trick him into sending you back to the foreign realm to produce Spirit Stones? By then, you can just secretly run away when you reach the foreign realm.” The Godly Sea Steadying Needle had asked this innocently back then.

“If he finds out about this, he’ll probably look for another foreign realm again to harm the remaining Feather Dragons there.” The leader of the Feather Dragons replied, “Fortunately, he didn’t think too much of it and was satisfied with the Spirit Stones he obtained from the corpses of my kind.”

Then, it picked another blue Spirit Stone and handed it to Ye Chen.

“After the barrier was sealed, the number of my kind increased and also the amount of Spiritual Energy also became higher. Therefore, the Spirit Stones here now are already somewhat similar to the Spirit Stones from the foreign realm. Look, it’s beginning to show the color of the attribute of the Spiritual Energy.”

Ye Chen compared this Spirit Stone with the Spirit Stone used for trading in the main world and realized that this was clearly a Purple Spirit Stone of the highest quality. However, there was a blue light of Water Spiritual Energy inside.

He squeezed the Spirit Stone and had a question again.

“It does look like it has more abundant Spiritual Energy, but its hardness seems to be inferior to ordinary Spirit Stones. Is this because the Spiritual Energy is too pure?” Ye Chen asked the leader of the Feather Dragons.

“Indeed, but the most important thing about a Spirit Stone isn’t its hardness but its resistance to Spiritual Energy attacks.” The leader of the Feather Dragons replied, “You have to know that if you use the Spirit Stones of the foreign realms properly, they can also absorb the same Spiritual Energy of the same attribute in other people’s attacks.”

“In other words, an attack with Spiritual Energy of the same attribute might not be effective on the Spiritual Stones of foreign realms?” Ye Chen really didn’t know this information.

“That’s right. Although the Spirit Stones here can’t absorb too much of the Spiritual Energy attacks of the same attribute, they’re also quite good in terms of defense against Spiritual Energy attacks.” The leader of the Feather Dragons seemed to be a little proud. “When we killed that person back then, we used these Spirit Stones to defend ourselves.’

Being able to play a role in defending against a continent-level master was enough to prove the defensive power of these Spirit Stones.

After Ye Chen entered the fire array, he also observed the Spirit Stones inside. Without exception, these Spirit Stones all contained a certain amount of Fire Spiritual Energy, so their defense power shouldn’t be too bad.

However, under the attack of the strange flames just now, these Fire Spirit Stones could actually be melted and transformed. Ye Chen found it a bit unbelievable.

“So, Master, were the strange flames you mentioned really emitted by the fragment of Senior Zhurong’s Spirit Pool? This far exceeds Senior Zhurong’s current strength!” The Kun Peng exclaimed, “Although the leader of the Feather Dragons said that someone had used the Art of Zhurong to resonate with the fragment of the Spirit Pool, it doesn’t know the Art of Zhurong. Could this relic be from another mutated beast?”

“Idiot, I think you’re doubting me!” The Immortal Phoenix was the first to refute. “I inherited the Art of Zhurong. Although I can’t use it because I’m afraid of triggering the trap, I can feel that the aura on this fragment of the Spirit Pool is the same as Senior Zhurong’s!”

Seeing that the Immortal Phoenix was so certain about the owner of the fragment of the Spirit Pool, the Kun Peng no longer disagreed and approached the fragment to observe it.

“Idiot, stop doubting it. You just said that the power on the fragment of the Spirit Pool that was triggered by the trap far exceeded Zhurong’s current strength.” Ye Chen emphasized the word “current.”

“Zhurong is an ancient Divine Beast that its name was known by people. If the power on this fragment of its Spirit Pool used to be its strength, that can also explain it.” He continued.

“Wait, Master. Didn’t Senior Zhurong say that its strength has not completely recovered?” Little Purple suddenly spoke, “Could it be because its Spirit Pool is missing a piece that it lost so much energy?” “It might be so,” Ye Chen replied, “So, after we go out, I’ll return this fragment to Zhurong and see if it can recover its strength.”

However, Little Purple raised a question that Ye Chen didn’t pay much attention to.

“Master, don’t you think that there’s a huge problem with the origin of this fragment of the Spirit Pool?” Little Purple asked hesitantly, “It’s true that Senior Zhurong failed to reach Nirvana and the fragments of its old body were scattered all over the ground. However, its real body has always been in the egg. I think that this fragment might have been deliberately taken out.”

“It’s indeed possible.” Ye Chen pondered.

At this moment, he finally remembered a detail that had been neglected for a long time.

Zhurong had once said that the Ice Fire Beetle Mystic Realm was placed on Fire Kite Mountain. After that, it fell down somehow. This proved one thing. At that time, there had always been a crack at the top of Fire Kite Mountain.

The Immortal Phoenix went in and out of Fire Kite Mountain a few times, but realized that even if the Fire Kite Mountain was damaged, it would return to its original state in a short period of time.

If this was the truth, then the true function of the Ice Fire Beetle Mystic Realm was already obvious.

It was used to prevent Fire Kite Mountain mending itself.
