Chapter 149 Golden Feather and Earth Attribute, Purifying Spiritual Energy
Ye Chen, who was in the array, was extremely relaxed.
Although he didn’t know who the creator of the ice and fire arrays was, he had long guessed that the entrance to the Divine Court and the main world might be guarded by people and had thought of a corresponding measure. Therefore, he didn’t care about the danger from the main world at all.
After dinner, he asked the leader of the Feather Dragons to help him build a few rooms so that they could have a good sleep.
When he woke up, his five Divine Beasts had already gone to cultivate.
The Kun Peng, Little Purple, and the Godly Sea Steadying Needle had already gone to cultivate with the leader of the Feather Dragons. However, the Immortal Phoenix and Monkey that were not water-type beasts had also disappeared.
Ye Chen looked at the small stone platform beside his bed. Zhurong’s golden feather that was placed on the stone platform before he went to bed was already gone.
“Looks like these two brats have run off to read the cultivation arts in the golden feather.” Ye Chen was amused as he walked out of the room towards the fire array.
The Immortal Phoenix’s cultivation had to be conducted in the fire array and Monkey, an earth-type mutated beast, wasn’t resistant to heat. Hence, Ye Chen guessed that the two of them were most likely at the intersection of the two arrays.
As it was formed by two arrays, the normal area between the ice and fire arrays was very narrow. Only by staying nearby would it be the most comfortable for Monkey, who weren’t of the water or fire type.
Ye Chen wasn’t in a hurry either. He used the system to look at all the notifications that he could see along the way to avoid missing any information. He slowly walked around the pile of Spirit Stones and finally reached the intersection of the two arrays after a while.
As expected, the Immortal Phoenix and Monkey were indeed staying here. Since the Spirit Stone grew quickly and the place was really small, the two Divine Beasts shrunk their bodies a little. However, they weren’t cultivating as Ye Chen thought. Instead, they both laid on the ground to observe the golden feather. When they saw Ye Chen coming, they immediately pounced over.
“What happened?” Ye Chen asked curiously.
“Master, why do I feel like Zhurong is fooling us? I can’t read anything!” Monkey looked aggrieved. “That golden feather is filled with noise!”
“How could that be? Shouldn’t it be very easy for mutated beasts to read cultivation arts?” Ye Chen asked strangely. Then, he looked at the Immortal Phoenix. “Sun God Envoy, can you read them?”
“The problem is that I can.” The Immortal Phoenix looked frustrated. “I read the cultivation arts in the golden feather first. Some of them contain too much Spiritual Energy. My current defense power can’t withstand them and I can’t learn them. However, I don’t have any problems reading them. There has never been a situation like Monkey’s. I even learned a skill!”
“Can there be such a situation?” Ye Chen was baffled. However, in order to verify it, he still opened the data panel.
[Sun God Envoy]
(Race: Divine Bird]
(Rank: Divine Beast]
(Maturity: Growth Period]
[Innate Mystic Abilities: Fire Immunity, Great Sun True Fire, Great Sun Burning Sky, Art of Zhurong, Fire Dragon Tornado]
[Attack: 42,200]
[Defense: 47,100]
(Master: Ye Chen]
As expected, there was an additional Fire Dragon Tornado in the column of the Immortal Phoenix’s Innate Mystic Abilities. Its attack and defense power also increased.
Ye Chen opened the detailed introduction of the Fire Dragon Tornado.
[Fire Dragon Tornado]
[A Mystic Ability developed by the Human-Faced Birds. It can put Fire Spiritual Energy on fine sand and burn it in the air through the Bird Race’s wind control ability, making attacks at specific points.] “It’s indeed a cultivation art that Zhurong would have…” Ye Chen didn’t understand. “Why is it that even though they are both mutated beasts, Monkey can’t read the golden feather? Could it be that their blood relationship isn’t close enough? I’ve never heard of any bloodline requirements for reading a cultivation art?”
For ways to pass down cultivation arts like the golden feather, mutated beasts shouldn’t encounter too many difficulties when reading it. As long as the attributes of the Spiritual Energy were the same, there wouldn’t be any problems.
The Immortal Phoenix and Monkey were mutated beasts with only one type of Spiritual Energy. There shouldn’t be any difficulties for them to read Zhurong’s golden feather. Now that the difference was so great, it surprised him a little.
“Could it be that the fire-type ability is too dominant in Senior Zhurong’s cultivation art that Monkey can’t read it?” the Immortal Phoenix asked softly. Ye Chen shook his head.
“That’s not likely. Zhurong transforming into an extremely powerful fire-type Divine Beast is something that will happen after it reaches adulthood. Before that, it must have learned many earth-type cultivation arts. Even the Innate Mystic Abilities of the Human-Faced Birds should include earth-type cultivation arts… It’s really impossible for Monkey to not be able to read anything.”
“Then what’s going on!?” Monkey grumbled. “It’s too difficult to read these cultivation arts. It’s full of noise. After hearing it, my Spiritual Energy ran wild. I feel like the blood in my body is burning!”
“Your Spiritual Energy ran wild?” Ye Chen grasped the main point. “If your Spiritual Energy reacts with it, that means you should be able to read it. This is a resonance between your Spiritual Energy and Zhurong’s. What you heard should also be the sound of Zhurong’s bloodline. That is also a symbol of the resonance of your Spiritual Energy.” Ye Chen remembered that when he was reading the cultivation arts in the golden feather, he also felt his Spiritual Energy go out of control and his entire body heated up. However, that was actually a phenomenon caused by Zhurong’s Fire Spiritual Energy and his own Fire Spiritual Energy. It was just that he wasn’t strong enough, so he couldn’t find the cultivation art guidance hidden behind the sound of Zhurong’s bloodline.
“No, Master, the voice that Monkey heard should be different from yours,” the Immortal Phoenix retorted. “From Monkey’s description, the voice it heard is more like the sound its own Spiritual Energy makes when it collides with its meridians. I also heard the sound of its meridians, which basically matches its description.”
It handed the golden feather back to Ye Chen after saying that.
“Master, I think it’s best not to let Monkey practice the cultivation arts here for now. I don’t understand its situation at all. I really don’t dare to let it continue practicing.”
Monkey looked disappointed at the side.
“Alright, let’s ask Monkey to wait a little longer.” For the safety of Monkey, Ye Chen could only nod. He patted Monkey’s head to comfort it but he noticed that the main meridian on Monkey’s face showed some faintly golden color.
He couldn’t help but reach out to touch it.
“Master, what are you doing?” Monkey immediately dodged. “After reading the cultivation arts just now, all the meridians in my body seem to have been burned. It’s painful. Don’t touch me casually!”
“Monkey, your meridians seem to have changed color. It’s very similar to the color of Zhurong’s Spiritual Energy.” Ye Chen frowned and reached his hand out again. “Don’t move. Let me take a look.”
This time, he really touched the boiling meridian under Monkey’s skin. The temperature was so high. If Ye Chen didn’t know that Monkey wasn’t a fire-type beast, he would have thought that it was using the Fire Melting Art to refine its earth attribute like Zhurong At this moment, a system notification appeared.
(The Divine Beast is purifying its Spiritual Energy. Please wait patiently.]
“Purifying its Spiritual Energy? Isn’t Monkey a mutated beast of just the earth attribute?” Ye Chen was dumbfounded.
