Desolate Era: Hatching a Phoenix at the Beginning Chapter 207 – Entering the Hidden Space  

In Little Purple's memories, there was almost no difference between the space of the two arrays and reality.

There were also many Spirit Stones and the space to move was very narrow. It was just that there were fewer Feather Dragon skeletons under the Spirit Stones. After all, there was only more of the Spiritual Energy communication between the two worlds at that time and it hadn't reached the point of overlapping.

However, Ye Chen still noticed a slight difference.

He originally wanted to see what was different about this tunnel-like space after the Giant God's Heart was taken away. Therefore, he asked Little Purple to pause the scene here. However, he accidentally saw a flash of light.

It was a purple light that he was familiar with. It was the color that would appear at the intersection of the arrays. There was also a faint purple flash on the ceiling above the light. A shadow appeared and disappeared in it. The corresponding place in reality was where the Divine Pillar appeared.

The Divine Pillar began to appear in the mental world. It was a symbol that the mental world and the real world were about to overlap. However, this faint purple light was shining down. Even if it wasn't obvious, it still cast a dark light on the pool on the ground, forming the flash Ye Chen noticed.

Yes, there was water here.

The light in the water was fluctuating, different from the fixed and sharp light of the Spirit Stones. However, there was too little water in this area. If not for this trembling purple light, Ye Chen would not have noticed it.

It appeared near the intersection of the arrays. There seemed to be a small hole in the wall and water flowed out from it, forming a very shallow pool on the ground.

This phenomenon was impossible.

If it was in the ice array in the real world, there would indeed be many small pools there. The source of the water was the abundant Water Spiritual Energy in the array. Under the effect of the Feather Dragon's skeleton and the Spirit Stones, the condensed Spiritual Energy would transform into water and flow down from it, unlike the “spring” in the outside world.

If it was in the mental world, it would be even more ridiculous. All the basic substances in the mental world were only created by mental energy, so they could basically be destroyed, therefore, nothing new would appear after the destruction. The mental world didn't have the ability to repair itself and create new things. Therefore, holes in the walls and water flowing out shouldn't have appeared.

However, Ye Chen remembered that before he cut down the Giant God's Heart in the tunnel, he had observed that other than the two secret chambers that were independent of each other, the original mental world of the Ice Fire Beetle had the outline of the space of the original ice and fire arrays that was expanded. At that time, the tunnel was squeezed to a corner and was very narrow. Corresponding to the array in reality, it should be at the bottom of the inner wall at the intersection of the arrays in the real world.

In the places that he had cut, holes and water sources appeared in the shrunken mental world.

This made him conclude that the hidden space was where the water source really came from, behind the stone wall at the intersection of the arrays.

After making this judgment, Ye Chen opened his eyes and walked to the corresponding stone wall to look at its lower edge.

There was indeed water. There were holes in the stone walls and water sources. He ignited the Undying Divine Fire in his hand and punched the stone wall with the Human Forbidden Art.

The Spirit Stones were shattered one after another. After they fell, they were turned into Spiritual Energy by the Undying Divine Fire. However, the stone wall behind was not affected at all. Not a single crack appeared.

Under Ye Chen's instructions, Little Purple screened the extracted memories several times. Just by looking at the parts that Ye Chen paid attention to, it could understand that Ye Chen wanted to open this stone wall. However, Ye Chen's current actions clearly puzzled it.

“Master, what are you doing?” It asked Ye Chen, “Isn't this stone wall the edge of the array? How can we break it?”

Ye Chen punched a few more times. He could only retract his fist with a regretful expression after he saw that it was really useless.

“I'm just trying my luck. Right now, the mental world of the Ice Fire Beetle is in a superimposed state with the real world. I want to see if this stone wall has the characteristics of the mental world that can allow me to destroy it so that I can enter the hidden space behind it.” He replied and then pointed at the hole that was gushing out water. “Do you see that? Behind this thing is the hidden space. Unfortunately, my luck is average. Although the hidden space is still there, the nature of the stone wall follows the real world. It can't be destroyed at all. We have to think of another way to enter.”

Ye Chen was currently wondering if he should use some of the time of his Divine Descendant Body to explore the hidden space.

The Divine Descendant Body could only be used for five minutes a day. It could be said to be extremely precious. However, in the current situation, he did not know if using the Divine Descendant Body would be effective.

Little Purple's Titan's Eye still fell out of the mental world even when it was working normally. Ye Chen could not help but wonder if they could still use the Titan's Eye to enter the mental space. If it couldn't be used, using the Divine Descendant Body would be a complete waste of time.

However, who knew what was inside the hidden space if he didn't give it a try?

The three Divine Pillars of unknown origins were another matter. Although the system did not make too many remarks about the Giant God's Heart that was used to make the trap, it was most likely related to the missing Titan Giant God judging from its name and the ability of the secret treasures. There must be something good in the hidden space guarded by it. It was really not Ye Chen's style to give up just like that.

However, what Little Purple said in a low voice completely resolved his dilemma.

“Master, you can also choose not to enter.” It said to Ye Chen, “If one can enter through this hole, wouldn't it be better if I shrink my body and enter?”

As it spoke, it quickly transformed into its hidden form. It was a small snake that was not much longer than Ye Chen's palm. It was very slender and it could be said to be very easy to enter the hole in the stone wall.

Other than that, Ye Chen also noticed some changes. Perhaps it was because its strength had increased, but even though Little Purple had transformed into its hidden form, the Titan's Eye on its forehead could still function normally.

He closed his eyes and used the connection with Little Purple to share his vision. It was still clear.

This time, Ye Chen was completely relieved. He poked Little Purple's head and said, “Impressive, Little Purple. Your hidden form can still be of such use. Alright, let's stay connected. I'll remind you anytime if I find anything. Be careful and don't touch anything inside.”

Little Purple nodded obediently in his palm before jumping out and entering the hole in the stone wall.
