This time, Ye Chen really felt that he had a slow wit.
After entering the ice and fire arrays, other than the system notifications, his connection with the outside world had basically been cut off. If not for this characteristic of the arrays, he would have long used the keys in the cultivation art tablet to run away with the Divine Beasts.
And now, he actually sensed the aura of the Divine Court in his body.
His values were totally challenged.
However, this discovery wasn’t a small matter. He didn’t immediately explain this abnormality to the three Divine Beasts beside him. Instead, he circulated the remaining Spiritual Energy that had not been absorbed and carefully sensed the aura from the Divine Court in his meridians.
With the help of the Yin Yang Taichi Fish in his dantian, Ye Chen gathered a portion of his Spiritual Energy into an independent stream. After circulating it completely in his meridians, he realized that his meridians showed no signs of leaking. His Spiritual Energy could still circulate well in his body and there was no sign of a special spatial pathway inside his meridians.
The real problem was that after the meridians were absorbed to the limit by the suction force from Zhurong’s body, a tunnel-like passage appeared. Although it also existed in Ye Chen’s body, when his Spiritual Energy circulated, it was completely independent of the entire circulation system. It was as if there was an empty area in his meridians. Even Ye Chen himself couldn’t figure out what it was for.
However, Ye Chen couldn’t determine if this was an “abnormal phenomenon.”
When he was cultivating, his absorption of Spiritual Energy wasn’t especially smooth. His meridians always felt stuck. This caused his meridians to feel like they were about to explode when he absorbed too much Spiritual Energy as he formed the water-type constitution in the Divine Court.
But from the information he found, no one had ever died because their Spiritual Energy was too dense and their bodies exploded.
Instead, many people deliberately looked for places with more Spiritual Energy to help with the growth of their strength.
The reason why those powerful families could produce so many talents wasn’t only because they provided more comprehensive materials and resources, but the environmental resources were even more important. Among the territories they bought and snatched from everywhere, there was no lack of natural spirit gathering lands.
As far as he knew, there were even some families that would build special courtyards in their territory that were specially used for pregnant women to wait for delivery and raise their children. It was to allow the children to adapt to the Spiritual Energy environment and be able to quickly increase their strength to a certain level when they were young. After that, they would need to cultivate various cultivation arts to increase their strength.
In short, a good environment could greatly increase the lower limit of one’s combat strength, truly giving one a head start.
Meanwhile, Ye Chen felt that although the Spiritual Energy he gathered in the Spirit Gathering Array of the Divine Court had already surpassed the concentration of Spiritual Energy in the ordinary areas of the main world, it was probably still insufficient compared to the natural spirit gathering lands occupied by those big families.
Judging from this, it was really abnormal that his Spiritual Energy surged to an uncontrollable state at that time. He couldn’t help but suspect that the stagnation in his meridians previously was a special part he couldn’t mobilize and it was just that he had never discovered it.
“Are you alright?” At this moment, Ye Chen heard Zhurong’s voice and the pain in his meridians suddenly lessened.
He opened his eyes. Zhurong had already woken up and cut off its Spiritual Energy connection with the leader of the Feather Dragons.
“I’m fine.” Ye Chen also put down his hand and swung his left arm that was sore the most.
“You don’t look fine,” Zhurong said with concern. “Did you lose too much Spiritual Energy when you helped convert it just now?”
“I didn’t want to transfer it to you. You sucked it away yourself, okay?” Ye Chen complained. “You sucked away a portion of the Spiritual Energy that your main body fed me!”
Zhurong was stunned.
“This shouldn’t have happened. Although I can sense my main body and might be able to communicate with my main body with Spiritual Energy, I have my own consciousness and shouldn’t be able to absorb Spiritual Energy casually.” It said in doubt, “However, my main body has indeed fed you quite a lot of Spiritual Energy, just like it’s in your body. With these supplements, I don’t have to worry about not having enough Spiritual Energy for the Spirit Transferring Art.”
“As long as you think it’s enough.” Ye Chen didn’t plan to tell it about the meridians so quickly to make it vexed. He changed the subject. “Why isn’t Goulong saying anything?”
“When you closed your eyes and fell into a daze, it said that it was going to sleep.” Zhurong stretched its neck out and pointed at the fragment of Goulong’s Spirit Pool. “Let it rest while it can. Let’s go and see how the other Divine Beasts are doing.”
“My Spirit Wall Space should be fine.” The Kun Peng stuck its head out from the side. “However, my defense power seems to be much higher than my attack power, so I might have to continue cultivating.”
Monkey nodded as well.
“Alright, let’s go and see how Little Purple and the Godly Sea Steadying Needle are doing.” Ye Chen nodded as well. He was the first to leave the secret chamber in the ice array and walked towards the new training space created by the leader of the Feather Dragons.
Other than the cultivation of the Divine Beasts, he also needed to find a place to sort out the information he had obtained so far.
Even though the Spiritual Energy flow of Goulong and Zhurong had already been severed and the meridians in his body weren’t suppressed by the suction force, he could still feel that the empty area in his meridians was still not within his control.
Not only that, Zhurong had also revealed that it could sense its main body and communicate Spiritual Energy with it as a part of the body. This basically confirmed that it had indeed communicated with the Divine Court through Ye Chen’s meridians.
He had lived for so long but this was the first time he felt so unfamiliar with his body.
Even when he came to the Primitive World and realized that he could see many things that others could not, he was only happy that he had a special cheat.
But now, after learning more about the Primitive World, he realized that his original world might also be related to the Primitive World of ancient times. On this basis, all his special abilities confused him.
This didn’t seem like a cheat that the system could casually give him. Instead, it seemed more like a default setting.
A sense of excitement rose in his heart.
“Am I the hero?”
