Chapter 199: Exploring Zhurong’s Heart

The first step was to help the Godly Sea Steadying Needle recover to its previous state.

When Ye Chen walked out of the secret chamber, Monkey and Kun Peng were gathered outside the door and looking around. They had actually already noticed that the illusionary mist had dissipated, but they had yet to enter.

Ye Chen carried the red gel to the Godly Sea Steadying Needle.

The Godly Sea Steadying Needle and Little Purple didn’t go to the door to watch the commotion. It was mainly because of the Godly Sea Steadying Needle’s physical condition.

The circulation of a mutated beast’s Spiritual Energy was naturally different from that of the Life and Death Wood. The original Spiritual Energy was wrapped in the Wood Spiritual Energy in the Wood Marrow and changed direction, making it feel very uncomfortable. It could only stay in place and recuperate.

Meanwhile, Little Purple had been observing the situation of the Godly Sea Steadying Needle with the Titan’s Eye. From time to time, it would give some pointers on how to adjust it, but it was clearly less effective.

Little Purple went up to him first when it saw him.

“Master, Five’s situation is really troublesome.” It said anxiously, “The Spiritual Energy in its entire body is affected to different degrees. I’ve already deduced the flow of Spiritual Energy according to Five’s situation. I just need to adjust it accordingly. However, its perception is abnormal now. It can’t even adjust its own Spiritual Energy!”

The Godly Sea Steadying Needle nodded weakly at Ye Chen, expressing its affirmation to Little Purple’s words.

Ye Chen quickly handed over the two pieces of gel in his hand. “Godly Sea Steadying Needle, don’t divert your attention to adjust the Spiritual Energy in your body and absorb the Spiritual Energy on these first,” he said.

The Godly Sea Steadying Needle shifted its gaze to the gel. “This is the aura of my kind’s Spiritual Energy… Master, is this the corpse of my kind that was used as a cover in the array chamber?” It asked hesitantly.

Ye Chen nodded.

“Yes, I just asked Zhurong. Because it wants to release the illusionary mist, although it has already been refined, it still has the circulation structure of the Deep Sea Dragons’ Spiritual Energy. Absorbing the Spiritual Energy on it can help you adjust and strengthen your own Spiritual Energy.”

“But…” The Godly Sea Steadying Needle was still a little hesitant.

“It’s best if you don’t have too many psychological barriers if it’s because it’s a corpse of your own kind.” Ye Chen saw that it wanted to say something but hesitated and guessed that it was hurt again, so he comforted it. “You have to live well and become stronger to have a chance to avenge your kind. You have to remember this.”

The Godly Sea Steadying Needle shook its head. “I’m not that ignorant about the situation. I’m not against absorbing its Spiritual Energy.” It defended itself and then asked, “I just don’t understand why it’s red.”

“The color?” Ye Chen was stunned.

The bodies of the Deep Sea Dragons were mainly silver-gray and light blue. There were also dark blue and light purple. Even the flesh and blood inside their bodies were not red. Even their blood was blue.

From this perspective, it was indeed not normal for the corpse to turn red after being refined.

“Moreover, this color looks very similar to the color of the Spirit Stones here.” The Godly Sea Steadying Needle continued, “Could it be that the environment will affect the attributes of Spiritual Energy? To be honest, Master, I’m really afraid of absorbing Spiritual Energy that doesn’t match my attributes…”

It was because of the invasion of the Wood Spiritual Energy that it suffered such a trauma.

Ye Chen did not dare to underestimate this problem. He quickly used his extreme speed and brought the gel to the ice array. When he returned, he still had a puzzled expression.

“It doesn’t change the nature of its Spiritual Energy as the environment changes. However, I’ve tried to investigate it. There’s indeed Fire Spiritual Energy inside. It’s really strange…” As he explained, he became confused.” There’s also very little Earth Spiritual Energy, like Zhurong’s Spiritual Energy. Could it be that the Spiritual Energy will spread to each other after being together for a long time?”

Thinking of this, he came to the door of the secret chamber again.

“Zhurong, I know you must have heard what we said before. Tell me what’s going on?” He asked Zhurong, who was curled up on the ground.

“Thinking of me when you encounter a problem?” Zhurong glanced at him and turned its head back. “I don’t know. Ask me again later.”

“This has your Spiritual Energy. How can you not know?” Ye Chen found it strange. “Shouldn’t you know your Spiritual Energy better?”

Zhurong sighed. “I’ve just merged with the consciousness of this fragment of the Spirit Pool. Its previous memories and consciousness are all mixed together. It’s difficult for me to read it myself.” It grumbled, “I really don’t know what’s going on now. I’ll tell you when I’ve sorted it out. Don’t disturb me for now.”

After saying that, it flapped its wings and the stone door that had fallen to the side suddenly stood up and quickly moved back to its original position.

Ye Chen rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Monkey tugged at the corner of Ye Chen’s clothes when it saw his expression. “Master, you don’t know how difficult it is to understand what that Senior Zhurong in the fragment of the Spirit Pool said!” It mocked. “It’s a mess. If I don’t listen to it four or five times, I won’t be able to figure out what it said! So, let’s give Senior Zhurong some time.”

It had suffered the torture of the golden feather communication and looked like it could empathize with Zhurong.

“Is it that terrifying?” Ye Chen held the golden feather in his hand. He wanted to tease it but suddenly thought of something. “Didn’t you only start using the golden feather to contact the mentally unstable Zhurong after Little Purple and the others went to the mental world of the Ice Fire Beetle?” He quickly asked Monkey, “Then why didn’t you hear this Zhurong’s thoughts again?”

He pointed at the door of the secret chamber in the fire array.

Monkey blinked blankly. “No, it’s really strange. Before I heard the second voice, I could still hear this Senior Zhurong’s chatter from time to time!” It said in surprise, “Could it be that the golden feather can only hear one voice?”

“That’s convenient now. We should be able to hear its voice again after the two Zhurong’s consciousnesses merged.” Ye Chen became excited. “Try now and see if you can hear its thoughts. It’s also to prevent us from not getting any information. The situation of the Godly Sea Steadying Needle can’t be delayed!”

Monkey quickly listened to Ye Chen’s request and placed the golden feather on its forehead.

After a few seconds, it let out a cry of surprise. “Master, it’s not just sound.” It exclaimed, “There are even images now!”
