Chapter 89: Entering the Underground of the Pavilion and
DIscovering a New Altar
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ye Chen jumped off the Immortal Phoenix's back and landed on the bottom
floor of the Pavilion. He started observing carefully.
The ground floor of the Pavilion was made up of an entire piece of Spirit Stone.
Although it had been burnt black, it didn't crack. It still emitted a strong
Spiritual Energy. Faint patterns could even be seen. It was obvious that this
was the center of the Mute Array in the entire courtyard.
Ye Chen was a little glad. If he hadn't been able to communicate with the Divine
Beast around him through telepathy, they would have caused more trouble in
the Mute Array.
“Master, I can be sure that the aura of that Mystic Realm treasures is coming
from below.” The Immortal Phoenix followed Ye Chen around the bottom floor
and said in certainty.
The Kun Peng nodded as well. It was the only mutated beast here that had been
to a Mystic Realm. With its affirmation, Ye Chen was also relieved.
“We have to think of a way to go down. There are secret books and cultivation
arts hidden here. It's impossible that there are no other exits. We have to look
for them.” Ye Chen thought for a moment and lowered his head to say to the
Kun Peng, which was on his shoulder, “Kun Peng, can you clean up the bottom
floor?
After hearing this, the Kun Peng's eyes widened.

“Master, you aren't asking me to swallow this pile of trash, are you?” It cried
out strangely. “The Devouring skill can't be used like this!”
When the other mutated beasts heard this, they immediately laughed together.
How could Monkey, who always argued with the Kun Peng, let go of this
opportunity? It immediately started teasing the Kun Peng, angering the Kun
Peng to the point that it wanted to pull the hair on its head. In an instant, the
two Divine Beasts started fooling around on Ye Chen's body.
“Stop fooling around.” Ye Chen was also amused. He originally wanted to clean
the black ashes on the floor so that he could see the patterns on it. He didn't
expect that the meaning of his words would be twisted. “You idiot, I want you
to release some water vapor so that I can make sure if there are any traps on
the floor. Who asked you to eat trash?
Perhaps because he had been living with the Divine Beasts, Ye Chen felt that
these fellows became less and less like mutated beasts. Instead, they were like
a bunch of playful children who wouldn't do things seriously unless it was a
serious matter.
He didn't find this troublesome. It made him happy instead if the atmosphere
around him was a bit more lively.
After Ye Chen explained, the Kun Peng put on an expression of realization and
released water vapor in embarrassment.
Soon, some water droplets appeared on the floor of the Pavilion and they
gathered into a shallow stream. The black ashes from the Great Sun True Fire
were peeled off from the Spirit Stones by the Spiritual Energy in the water and
ran to both sides. The water was soon evaporated by the heat emitted by the
Immortal Phoenix at the edge of the wall.

A huge totem was exposed on the ground, like a cage with several large snakes.
Looking carefully, the eyes of the large snake in the middle were two smal
pits, lookinglike a pair of calm blind eyes.
At this moment, a system notification appeared.
[Reminder: Drop the blood of an advanced water-type mutated beast into the
eyes of the Mutated Beast Totem to open the underground palace.]
(Hidden prompt message: There are a lot of snake-type mutated beasts in the
underground palace. Please choose the mutated beast for opening the
underground palace carefully.)
“It's so convenient to see the hidden hints.” Ye Chen walked on top of the totem
and summoned Little Purple from his arms. “Little Purple, I have to borrow
two drops of your blood to open the door. There will be snake-type mutated
beasts down there. Your blood is more useful.
Little Purple nodded obediently and touched the tip of its tail on the horn on its
head. Blood slowly dripped down. Ye Chen held Little Purple above the totem as
blood dropped into the pits and the large snake's eyes were dyed red.
In an instant, the totem emitted a faint purple light.
As the purple light appeared, the Spirit Stones under Ye Chen's feet shook
slightly. Then, the entire floor started to go down.

The Li family had clearly spent a lot of money on the security of the
underground palace. The floor with the totem had fallen by five to six meters
and only revealed four walls made of large pieces of blue and white Spirit
Stones. Going further down, an entrance to a dark tunnel appeared on one of
the stone walls.
These rich people really hide their treasures wel.”Ye Chen stepped into the
tunnel and exclaimed.
However, right at this moment, something unexpected happened. The moment
he stepped into the tunnel, the ground outside quickly rose and locked him
and the five mutated beasts in the tunnel, sending them into darkness.
“Oh no! Master, have we fallen into a trap?
“Tl light the fire now! Ouch, Monkey, don't push me!”
“If anyone dares to lock us up, T'l tear this place down and go out to smash
them!
The beasts immediately became noisy.
“Stop arguing” Ye Chen took out the Snow Soul Pearl from his bag
speechlessly. “You're not allowed to burn the place or tear down the walls. We
still have to look for the treasures.
Under the illumination of the Snow sSoul Pearl, Ye Chen walked towards the end
of the tunnel and finally stopped in front of a door.
It was a door with a totem painted on it, but it was somewhat different from
the one on the ground before. The few large snakes in the cage merged into one
with two sharp horns and a third eye appeared on its head.

“Master, look! That's Little Purple on the totem!” Monkey shouted in surprise.
Little Purple also stuck its head out of Ye Chen's arms and stared at the totem
on the wall. After a while, it said, “No, there are no eyes on the top of my head.”
“This is indeed not Little Purple.” Ye Chen replied in a deep voice. “This is the
Titan Python with awakened bloodlines”
“Theyre from the same race as Little Purple's?” Monkey looked at Ye Chen with
eyes filled with admiration. “Tve never seen them before! Master, how did you
know?
Ye Chen didn't reply. He was a little shocked when he saw another hint appear
in front of the door.
[Hidden prompt message: Let an advanced mutated beast of the Python Race
resonate with the Mutated Beast Totem to open the Python Race's altar. The
awakening of bloodline requires sacrifices of the corresponding race.]
Python Race's altar, bloodline awakening. Could this be the same as the
Ancient Altar, a place where humans used to create Divine Beasts?
As artificial Divine Beasts, Little Purple and Monkey didn't inherit the
cultivation methods from their bloodlines, so they were inferior to the
Immortal Phoenix and the Kun Peng in terms of cultivation. If Little Purple
could awaken its bloodline through the altar, that meant that Monkey might be
able to do the same.
If the Ancient Altar was the place to create Divine Beasts, then the altar here
would be the place for bloodline purification to be used together.

Humans at that time developed various altars, but they had never been able to
produce Divine Beasts in bulk. It was probably because it was too difficult to
create a qualified Divine Beast Egg. In addition, the Primitive Burial Ground
where the Ancient Altar was located was sealed. So, such an altar lost its
meaning as well.
However, this meant a lot to Ye Chen.
If he could succeed this time, he would have to put the search for the various
altars on the agenda.
“Little Purple, release your power and try to resonate with this door.” Ye Chen
couldn't help but become serious. “There might be something that can make
you a real Titan Python behind this door.”
He saw that Little Purple's eyes also brightened.
