Chapter 189: The Hidden Treasure

Ye Chen quickly chose the option of the Titan’s Eye. After clicking on it, he naturally entered a state of seance. This made him feel that his body had changed in an instant.

Ye Chen guessed that the Divine Powers and techniques that could be used in the seance state probably required a special constitution.

Previously, he had activated the Divine Descendant Body through Little Purple’s Spirit Blood, but his physical fitness was still not much different from before. Now, he felt as if his body had been temporarily replaced. Not only could he mobilize more Spiritual Energy, but even his strength had increased significantly.

This was probably the temporary enhancement of the Divine Descendant Body in order to use the Ancestral Divine Art.

Ye Chen did not need to spend a period of time gathering Spiritual Energy like Little Purple with the support of his body and Spiritual Energy. Instead, he could adjust the Titan’s Eye to its best state almost instantly. Hence, he could see the mental world of the Ice Fire Beetle and quickly enter it.

This speed really shocked Ye Chen.

He scanned the empty mental world around him and quickly opened the system interface to take a look at his combat strength. His attack and defense power had increased to more than 500,000. This meant that with the help of the Divine Descendant Body, Ye Chen’s ability definitely far exceeded Little Purple.

“If I have enough time, I might as well find the center of the array by myself.” As he thought this, he quickly looked at the secret chamber in front of him.

The secret chamber in the fire array was still covered in white mist. Instead, a system notification appeared.

[Reminder: Ahead is the Illusionary Mist Maze. Entering it will confuse one’s perception ability. When the defense power reaches the Million Level, it can withstand some of the effects of the Illusionary Mist. When the attack power is above the Million Level, one can use the Titan’s Eye to penetrate the Illusionary Mist.]

[Hidden prompt message: Destroy the corresponding existence in the real world. After causing damage, it can weaken the Illusionary Mist Maze, reducing the required defense and attack power by half.]

“As expected, I can trigger the system notification after seeing it with my own eyes.” Ye Chen thought, “Although I can’t meet the requirements for defense and attack power, it should be fine if the requirement drops after causing damage to the secret chamber.”

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but rejoice.

At that time, the leader of the Feather Dragons said that Little Purple had to increase its attack power to more than 50,000 to have enough perception to search for the hidden array center in the secret chamber. However, the reality was not as optimistic as it thought.

To put it bluntly, Little Purple’s combat strength was only enough to withstand the illusionary mist that seeped out of the mental world and into the secret chamber in the real world. The key to the array center was hidden in the mental world. If Ye Chen hadn’t activated the Divine Descendant Body after Little Purple discovered the mental world of the Ice Fire Beetle, everything they had done to destroy the array in the secret chamber would have been useless.

If they couldn’t destroy the secret chamber and take out the two cores of the ice and fire arrays, even if Goulong and Zhurong could possess other mutated beasts to move around, they wouldn’t be able to mobilize the power trapped in the secret chamber. It was purely wishful thinking to open the door of the array.

While thinking, he walked to other places in the mental world and used the Titan’s Eye to receive the senses of his own kind.

Little Purple and Monkey were clearly a little flustered. Ye Chen could sense that the Spiritual Energy that the two of them used to seek the senses of their own kind had also caught up to him. He calmly connected to their senses and communicated with the two Divine Beasts to reassure them.

In addition, he had indeed sensed the Spiritual Energy released by another unfamiliar mutated beast of the Titan Race. It must be another secret treasure hidden in the secret chamber.

In order to find it, Ye Chen first circled around the mental world space corresponding to the fire array. In order to be safe and convenient, he used the Extreme Speed of his Innate Mystic Ability to prevent himself from accidentally touching something he shouldn’t have.

This time, the system notification didn’t appear again. Besides, the further he was from the intersection of the two arrays, the weaker his senses were.

Therefore, after quickly investigating this side of the space, Ye Chen used his extreme speed and quickly entered the corresponding space of the ice array.

However, to his surprise, the results were almost identical.

“There’s also no system notification?” He was a little shocked. “It’s clearly said that the secret treasure was placed in the mental space. I can’t find it because this place doesn’t meet the conditions for the system notification to appear?”

However, when he looked at the intersection between the two arrays again, he suddenly understood.

Since the aura he sensed the most was in the intersection of the two spaces, it naturally proved that the secret treasure was hidden on the stone wall at the intersection. The concealment method was most likely the illusionary mist of the Deep Sea Dragons.

He had to combine the shapes of the mental world of the Ice Fire Beetle to make the association to the location. Its shape was completely an enlarged version of the ice and fire arrays created with the Ice Fire Beetle’s Spirit Pool as the foundation.

In the middle of the original ice and fire arrays, there was a narrow passage.

This passage was much smaller because of the expansion of the range of mental activity.

However, even so, the tunnel that appeared here was really too narrow. It was almost a crack. When they first entered this place, Little Purple even searched for a while before finding this connecting tunnel. If Little Purple had been a little bigger at that time, it would probably have been completely impossible to pass through.

It was this small adjustment that made Ye Chen feel that something was wrong.

He carefully approached the door and ignited a flame in his palm. Then, he changed the direction of the flame and burned it towards the stone wall of the tunnel.

This time, he was using ordinary flames that were completely activated by his fire-type constitution. If it was the Undying Divine Fire, not only would it burn the secret treasure, but if the source of the illusionary mist was also nearby, the illusionary mist wouldn’t be burnt away. The Undying Divine Fire wouldn’t be able to quickly find out where the illusionary mist was spread.

Ye Chen did not plan to destroy the secret treasure, so his plan was to rely on the impact of the illusionary mist on ordinary flames to determine where the illusionary mist was spread.

He remembered that a while ago, the illusionary mist of the Godly Sea Steadying Needle could rely on the Spiritual Energy of the mutated beast to continue working under the influence of Zhurong’s flames. This was enough to prove that the illusionary mist could resist flames to a certain extent.

Ordinary flames were nothing under the influence of the illusionary mist with dense Water Spiritual Energy.

When the flames suddenly extinguished before touching a certain area in the middle of the wall, Ye Chen knew that he had guessed correctly.

This location with the illusionary mist must be where the secret treasure was hidden.
