Desolate Era: Hatching a Phoenix at the Beginning - Chapter 180 - A New Space in the Array

“That’s not possible, right?” The leader of the Feather Dragons interrupted first. “My kind has lived here for a long time. If the array was empty, how did we survive? You have to know that the Spirit Stones here maintain our survival needs!”

“I must have made a mistake…”

Little Purple was also very confused about this.

For a moment, Ye Chen felt a chill down his spine.

This time, he no longer hesitated and pushed the Godly Sea Steadying Needle in Little Purple’s direction.

“Godly Sea Steadying Needle, your perception is already quite good. Now, practice according to our original plan and help Little Purple see this array clearly.” Ye Chen instructed, “This is very important. We will be breaking the array after one day and nothing can go wrong. Therefore, we have to figure out the situation inside the array while Goulong and Zhurong are still resting. Do you understand?”

“Understood. I will definitely complete the mission!” The Godly Sea Steadying Needle quickly replied. Then, it circled down from the bone pillar swiftly and brought the Kun Peng in front of the bone pillar.

The Kun Peng didn’t dare to delay at all. It immediately put the bone pillar into the Spirit Wall Space and permeated it with Spiritual Energy.

This time, the pressure fell on Little Purple.

It mustered the courage and swallowed the bone pillar into its stomach. Then, it closed its eyes immediately and focused all its perceiving power on the Titan’s Eye on its forehead.

The Godly Sea Steadying Needle tried its best to maintain the connection of Spiritual Energy on the bone pillar. The color of its entire dragon body seemed to have faded a little. However, with its help, an even brighter dark purple light started to circulate in the Titan’s Eye.

“Hm?” After a while, Little Purple, who had its eyes closed, let out a doubtful sound.

“Little Purple, what did you find?” Ye Chen quickly asked.

……

He didn’t want anything to go wrong with his original plan. If there was really something strange, he had to eliminate it.

“Master, the Titan’s Eye can’t see anything else in this array other than the secret chamber, not even you!” Little Purple exclaimed and immediately opened its eyes.

Seeing that Ye Chen and the other Divine Beasts were still there, it heaved a sigh of relief.

“We’ve always been here just now, but you…” It was Monkey who spoke. It was a little hesitant.

It wasn’t the only one. The other mutated beasts also revealed surprised expressions.

Just as Little Purple activated the Titan’s Eye and reported to Ye Chen when it noticed something strange, they noticed that Little Purple’s body started to flicker and even disappeared temporarily for two seconds.

However, as everyone knew, no one or any mutated beast could enter and leave the ice and fire arrays freely at the moment. Even the cultivation art tablet with the key had lost its effect.

To disappear from the array under such circumstances was definitely a huge matter that subverted their understanding and imagination.

Little Purple was still looking at them at ease, clearly unaware of what had just happened to it at all.

Ye Chen could only comfort Little Purple and tell it what he had just seen.

As expected, Little Purple was also very shocked.

“The space I saw was empty. No one was there. Did I just go to another dimension?” it asked, “But the secret chamber with the door shut is still in its original position. It’s the same as what we’re seeing now. It doesn’t seem like it teleported me to another place.”

“Could it be an illusion again?” Ye Chen guessed.

“That’s absolutely impossible. I don’t sense any aura of illusion. I’m the most sensitive to illusions!” Little Purple said firmly, “Although I can’t feel your auras and the others in the array, I’m sure that the aura in the secret chamber hasn’t changed. The Titan’s Eye won’t deceive me!”

“In other words, it’s not a problem caused by Goulong’s consciousness.” Seeing that it was so sure, Ye Chen no longer suspected it casually. “It’s even stranger why Little Purple disappeared temporarily. According to Little Purple’s ability, if it’s a perception shield, it shouldn’t be able to deceive it, right?”

Little Purple nodded.

At this moment, the Godly Sea Steadying Needle also spoke.

“Master, I think Little Purple was indeed teleported somewhere for a short period of time.” It said to Ye Chen seriously, “When Little Purple disappeared just now, I also inexplicably felt that my Spiritual Energy connection with my bone pillar was cut off. If it was just an illusion or a perception shield, it shouldn’t affect me.”

“How is that possible?” It was the Kun Peng who spoke this time. “If Little Purple really went somewhere else, my Spirit Wall Space would have been cut off from my main body and would have easily shattered… But nothing happened now, right?”

The Godly Sea Steadying Needle looked at Little Purple’s stomach with lingering fear.

“Turns out it’s that dangerous. Kun Peng, you should have said so earlier!” It grumbled but still explained.

“I’m a perceiving-type Divine Beast and am sensitive to Spiritual Energy. However, I only felt like my Spiritual Energy connection was severed. In fact, not only was my Spiritual Energy not severed, it also showed that my bone pillar was still in this dimension. This can prove that Little Purple hasn’t really left this dimension. It just… just…”

At this point, the Godly Sea Steadying Needle seemed to have no idea how to explain this phenomenon and it stuttered.

However, Ye Chen knew what it wanted to say.

“Just entered a parallel world that shares the same dimension as ours,” he said.

“Right, right, right. That’s the feeling!” The Godly Sea Steadying Needle immediately agreed.

And yet, Ye Chen couldn’t be happy.

The traps in the secret chamber came one after another. This time, a parallel dimension was directly involved, which really gave him a headache.

“Are you kidding me? If we really create a parallel world, even if the secret chamber is weakened, Little Purple can be teleported away at any time, let alone finding the center of the secret chamber?” He complained in a deep voice.

The leader of the Feather Dragons, who hadn’t spoken for a long time, said something at this moment.

“Mr. Ye, you don’t have to worry. The place Little Purple went to shouldn’t be a parallel world.” It addressed Ye Chen in a formal way again and said seriously, “I have a guess, but before I know what Little Purple saw, I can’t be sure if it’s true.”

“It’s related to what I saw?” Little Purple was stunned. “The place I saw was a huge silver-gray space. There were soft gray stones everywhere. It’s a strange place. What does this have to do with your guess?”

The leader of the Feather Dragons heaved a sigh of relief.

“It has a lot to do with it,” it said, “What you saw should be the mental world of the Ice Fire Beetle.”
