Chapter 226: Goulong’s Opinion
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ye Chen returned to the ice array and Zhurong followed behind him in an extremely bad mood.
“I said that I can think of a way to defend against that explosive thing. Why must you ask Goulong for help?” It grumbled indignantly.
“What if you don’t defend in time and blow up your Spirit Pool fragment? You’ll be reduced to ashes and you won’t even have a place to cry!” Ye Chen did not show any mercy.
No matter how confident Zhurong’s consciousness was, it was actually only one of the fragments of Zhurong’s consciousness. Although it could only absorb fragments of the Spirit Pool that were weaker than itself, this consciousness would be quickly absorbed as long as it returned to its main body, and its main body’s strength would recover greatly.
Therefore, no matter what, Ye Chen had to ensure that Zhurong’s Spirit Pool fragment could be safely sent back to Zhurong’s main body.
Even if Zhurong and Goulong had any disagreements in private, Ye Chen would choose to ignore them for the time being. Anyway, the two of them were just bickering and would not really harm each other.
After delaying for so long, he realized that the few mutated beasts had long gathered when he entered the ice array. Even Monkey, who was resting previously, had gathered with its companions in front of the secret chamber in the ice array.
“Is there a problem?” Ye Chen went forward and asked.
Kun Peng immediately went up to him. “It’s about time. Little White planned to enter the array to wake Senior Goulong up, but the illusionary mist is still there. Little Purple and Five have tried, but they can’t see through it at all.” It pointed at the leader of the Feather Dragons that was waiting at the side. “Little White’s defense power isn’t working anymore. It tried to look but couldn’t find the way. We can only rely on you, Master.”
Ye Chen looked inside the array.
“The reason why it can withstand the illusionary mist in the secret chamber of the fire array is that the environment has weakened a portion of the illusionary mist. The Spiritual Energy in the ice array is mainly of the water attribute, so of course it will be stronger.” He said to the Divine Beasts, “I can wake it up, but Little White, don’t come in first.”
“Why can’t I enter?” The leader of the Feather Dragons asked curiously, “Doesn’t opening the array require Senior to possess me?”
“Yes, but possession will consume its mental energy, and we need it to answer a few questions,” Ye Chen replied. “In order for it to have the energy to continue our plan after answering, we’ll wait for the possession.”
......
After saying that, he brought Zhurong to the door of the secret chamber in the ice array.
“Wait, according to the usage of the Spirit Sealing Altar, I’m the only one who has recognized a master. Mr. Ye, your relationship with Divine Beast Goulong hasn’t been established yet, right?” The leader of the Feather Dragons quickly went forward to stop him. “Even if you want to awaken Divine Beast Goulong, you would need me, who has been chosen as the sacrifice. You wouldn’t be able to awaken it quickly!”
What answered it was Zhurong’s chuckle. “Do we still need to go through so much trouble? Wouldn’t that wake it up?”
Zhurong wasn’t in the secret chamber of the fire array and was using the body of the Immortal Phoenix. In addition, it had enough mental energy and could use the Spiritual Energy of the other fragment of the Spirit Pool that it had already taken out. It was much more daring when using its power. Without a word, it cast the Art of Zhurong at the entrance of the secret chamber.
As the secret chambers in the mental world had already completely overlapped with reality, Zhurong controlled the output of some Spiritual Energy to avoid affecting the fragments of the Spirit Pool that Goulong had buried. However, to the Divine Beasts outside the other secret chambers, it was as if he had thrown a golden firework into the door. It was simply dazzling.
Fortunately, after a few seconds, the golden-red flames started to fade. The Fire Spiritual Energy quickly disappeared from the secret chamber and the Water Spiritual Energy was replenished again.
The illusionary mist in the secret chamber immediately became much thinner after Zhurong’s baptism. Even if one went forward to observe without any defense, they would no longer feel dizzy.
“It feels so good to have power and can still use it freely.” Ye Chen sighed from the bottom of his heart and shouted into the door, “It’s about time. Wake up!”
“Can’t you use a more normal method to wake me up?” The voice from the secret chamber was a little angry. “Isn’t asking that kid who wants me to possess him better than asking Zhurong to wake me up?!”
Goulong was indeed awake.
As the owner of the center of the ice array, Zhurong and Goulong’s powers were somewhat related, so it was indeed possible to awaken each other.
Goulong, who was woken up by his old enemy, was clearly unhappy.
“No, let’s not talk about possession for now. I still have something to ask you before removing the array in the secret chamber.” Goulong did not have enough mental energy and time was tight. Ye Chen immediately took out the fragments of the Petrified Dragon Claw Grass from his inventory and raised them to ask Goulong, “I heard that you have something to do with the Wind God, so do you have a way to solve the problem of this thing exploding when it comes into contact with flames?”
His question was very vague. The other Divine Beasts started to whisper to each other. Monkey, who was more lively, had already started to pull Zhurong’s tail and ask about its background.
“Zhurong told you about me and Wind God, right?” Goulong’s voice was cold. “Bring the things in. The outside of the secret chamber is not within my perception range.”
Ye Chen did as it said and reached his hand into the secret chamber.
The array in the secret chamber had yet to be removed and the Spiritual Energy between it and the outside world could not be connected yet. However, the secret chamber was completely within Goulong’s perception range.
As a Divine Beast with the water attribute as its main Spiritual Energy attribute, Goulong would have a certain level of perception ability no matter what. This was considered a kind of racial talent. Even if it only had the fragment of its Spirit Pool left that was still active, this ability would still maintain a little.
As expected, not long after the fragments of Dragon Claw Grass were handed into the secret chamber, Goulong’s surprised voice sounded. “Why do you have the Sky Domain’s Dragon Claw Grass?!”
Its nickname for the Dragon Claw Grass was the same as that of the leader of the Feather Dragons. However, with the addition of the word “Sky Domain,” it probably referred to this kind of herb that grew in the Sky Domain and had strange medicinal properties and explosive abilities.
“I found it on some of the reinforcement devices set up here,” Ye Chen replied. “This piece was taken from the Spirit Sealing Altar that was placed here previously. Have you never seen it before?”
“At that time, my perception was affected by the Spirit Sealing Altar and was severely weakened, so I really didn’t sense it.” Goulong replied, “If I had known that there was such a thing, I would have warned you long ago!”
“Alright, can you tell me in advance how to solve the problem of this thing exploding when it encounters fire? There’s a fire array on Zhurong’s side. I’m afraid that there will be an accident if the explosion isn’t removed.” Ye Chen didn’t want to waste any more time and continued to cut to the chase.
Goulong replied with confidence. “Just ask Zhurong to open the array one step later than me. I can resolve the explosion of this thing.” It said to Ye Chen, “Then, ask that kid from the Feather Dragons to eat a few pieces of this thing. Let it eat it now!”
