Chapter 162 The Method to Repair the Spirit Sealing Altar
The system notifications were indeed very thoughtful, but they were also quite tricky.
Perhaps it was because the system notifications were just a brief introduction, there was always more details following behind to add some more information.
After Ye Chen discovered this characteristic of the system, he developed the habit of checking the details every time. In the end, he really did find it hiding key information in the details several times.
It was the same this time.
According to the system notification, the sacrificing ritual of the Spirit Sealing Altar was to use the blood and Spiritual Energy of mutated beasts with similar attributes and levels to control the target.
It was the use of the word “sacrifice” that made Ye Chen think that he needed to kill a mutated beast to offer its blood. He even felt depressed for a moment.
But when he clicked into it and looked at the details, he deeply felt that his feelings had been played with.
In fact, the Spirit Sealing Altar’s sacrifice required only blood and Spiritual Energy, and didn’t require the beast’s life.
Draining blood and killing the mutated beast used as a sacrifice was only because the user wanted to use it as a carrier so that the mutated beast that was controlled could possess it. In fact, as long as there was enough blood and Spiritual Energy, the sacrifice could already be completed.
But this was still a dangerous choice in the past.
It had nothing to do with blood. The key was Spiritual Energy. The amount of Spiritual Energy required during the sacrifice was too much.

In order to prevent the mutant beasts that were sacrificed from resisting, those people would often maintain the level of the mutant beasts that they reared at a relatively weak stage during the sacrificing ritual, so as to prevent them from resisting after they got too strong.
Therefore, it was basically impossible for the mutated beasts in their hands to meet the criteria to be a sacrifice in terms of level and maturity but not die. Usually, they would use mutated beasts below the adulthood stage that hadn’t reached the level of Divine Beast as sacrifice. This caused the sacrifice to drain the Spiritual Energy of the mutated beasts and cause their death.
Now, the one who met the safety criteria for the sacrifice was right beside Ye Chen.
“Don’t worry. We don’t need to kill any mutated beasts as a sacrifice and offer blood.” Ye Chen smiled at the leader of the Feather Dragons. “I just need you to help me release some blood and Spiritual Energy. You’re a Level 10,000 beast, so you can release much more Spiritual Energy than normal mutated beasts do. We don’t need to kill other mutated beasts at all.”
“Are you serious?” The leader of the Feather Dragons was still skeptical.
“If you don’t believe me, I’ll give you a demonstration.” Ye Chen gently cut his finger and released some Spiritual Energy from his palm. He then moved his palm closer to the altar fragments.
The blood and Spiritual Energy were quickly absorbed by the broken altar. The blood and the swirling black gas rose up together, but they quickly disappeared from the black gas. The Spiritual Energy was continuously absorbed.
Ye Chen retracted his hand.
When his hand left the area above the altar, the flow of Spiritual Energy was immediately interrupted.
“I have a water-type constitution, so I can still be considered to be of the same attribute. However, my abilities are too weak and I don’t have any bloodline, so this altar only absorbs my Spiritual Energy, but it doesn’t want my blood.” He explained, “But look, even I can make it stop absorbing my Spiritual Energy at any time.”
“But I’ve seen quite a lot of mutated beasts die because their Spiritual Energy was sucked dry…?” The leader of the Feather Dragons was stunned.
“That’s because someone forced them to release their Spiritual Energy. The goal of that kind of person is naturally to kill them.” Ye Chen spread out his hands. “As for now, who can force you?”
The leader of the Feather Dragons was currently the strongest existence within the array, so there was no need to worry at all. “If you’re still worried, I can ask the Godly Sea Steadying Needle to try. Its situation is probably the same as mine,” he added.
This time, the doubts of the leader of the Feather Dragons were completely dispelled.
“There’s no need. How could I not trust Mr. Ye?” it replied, “In that case, let’s start repairing the altar sooner. As long as we repair the altar and sacrifice blood, waking Goulong up will not be a problem.”
Without any hesitation, Ye Chen opened his inventory and put all the fragments of the altar that were barely pieced together inside.
This time, he was looking for Zhurong, who was resting in the secret chamber in the fire array.
Although Zhurong had previously told him to wake Goulong up before returning to look for it, he had to refine the altar in order to repair it. Only the Art of Zhurong that the Immortal Phoenix had already learned was suitable.
As for Zhurong, he had only mentioned that possessing a body consumed energy. If it used the Mystic Abilities in the Immortal Phoenix’s body, it wouldn’t be a burden on it.
However, Zhurong, who had been woken up, directly rejected it.
“I can’t do such a thing.” It came out of the secret chamber and said to Ye Chen, “I can use the Spiritual Energy in this body, but the Art of Zhurong is a cultivation art I created. Using it will inevitably mobilize my own strength. My Spiritual Energy will leak out uncontrollably and affect my defensive ability when the traps in the secret chamber are activated.”
“Then, how are we supposed to rebuild the altar?” Ye Chen was a little dumbfounded.
“Didn’t you inherit the main body’s Fire Melting Art? Strengthen the earth attribute. It will be no different from the Art of Zhurong when using,” Zhurong commanded.
Ye Chen covered his face.
“That’s easy for you to say!” He ridiculed, “My fire-type constitution isn’t like yours and Sun God Envoy’s. It’s more convenient to convert Spiritual Energy, but it’s a big problem to emit so much concentrated Fire Spiritual Energy!”
Whether it was the Fire Melting Art or the Art of Zhurong, they both required the emission of a large amount of Fire Spiritual Energy that was sufficiently concentrated to wrap the Stats or material that needed to be refined within. Only then could they be converted or driven.
The reason why the Art of Zhurong was different from the Fire Melting Art was because it refined the Earth Spiritual Energy itself and maintained a part of its nature without destroying it. Hence, it was able to drive the earth-type substances. The amount of Spiritual Energy needed wasn’t something Ye Chen could offer right now.
Regarding this, Zhurong sighed and put its claw on the Spirit Sealing Altar that was placed on the ground of the fire array.

“Like I said, I can release the Spiritual Energy of this Immortal Phoenix,” it said to Ye Chen, “The Spiritual Energy will be provided by it. You can focus on using the Fire Melting Art to refine the altar. As for the problem of different individuals having different Spiritual Energy, since you are its master, I reckon you will also have a fire-type Divine Power that is connected to it. You can try using that Divine Power to fuse with the Fire Melting Art. How about that?”
Ye Chen looked up.
“I think it’s feasible,” he answered sincerely, “If you have an idea, can you tell me earlier next time?”
“Ha.”
Zhurong let out an annoying chuckle in the Immortal Phoenix’s skin.
