Chapter 1037: Dangerous Mission

He Lingchuan remained silent.

No wonder immortals had long disappeared from the world, long disappeared from the eyes of all living beings; it turned out that they were mostly unable to take care of themselves.

"Our opponent is Beijia supported by the Heavenly Demon, so the operation of 'Lingshan' always needs immortals to sit in town, and it cannot be missing for a month."

He Lingchuan immediately grasped the point: "You mean, there are always immortals guarding Lingshan?" This was probably the biggest trump card for the Mou Nation and Lingshan when facing Beijia, right? "Exactly." Wang Xingyi said in a condensed voice, "Spiritual energy is thin, and it is very difficult for superior immortals to stay in the world, so they still have to return to the cave-heaven blessed land to recuperate and compensate every once in a while. Therefore, the resident immortals of Lingshan adopt a rotation system, and every few years, a superior immortal must come out of seclusion to guard, taking over the work of the predecessor."

For the first sixty years, there was no Emperor's Flowing Pulp in the world, and spiritual energy was weak to a certain extent. Although the Emperor's Flowing Pulp had erupted three times in the last two years, this was far from enough for the immortals.

They were like fish out of water, not necessarily dying for a while, but always in the pain of lacking water.

So the rotation system adopted by Lingshan was a helpless choice under the current environment.

"Sounds very reasonable."

"This brings us to the mission I want to entrust." Wang Xingyi smiled bitterly, "According to reason, an immortal should have come out of seclusion three years ago to guard Lingshan. But until the opening time of the cave-heaven blessed land where he was located ended, he didn't come out!"

"Uh." It sounded like things were not good, "Has Lingshan sent anyone in to look for him?"

"Of course. We sent two groups of people in before and after, and they all sank into the sea." Wang Xingyi shook his head, "Not only did the superior immortal not show up, but our people didn't come out again either."

"This is a big trouble for Lingshan. The successor didn't come, so the previous superior immortal couldn't go back to seclusion for a long time and had to stay in the world to suffer and wait. If this continues for a long time, the operation of Lingshan will also be greatly affected." Wang Xingyi sighed, "We are even more afraid that something went wrong with the cave-heaven blessed land, or that Beijia found that entrance..."

He then said: "For so many years, Beijia has also been looking for the hiding place of the immortals."

"Have they succeeded?"

Wang Xingyi nodded, his face solemn.

"So, you want me to go in and find someone?" He Lingchuan pointed to his own nose, "The first two groups didn't return, so I'm the third group?"

Wang Xingyi smiled: "Extraordinary matters should be handed to extraordinary people. He Xiao can disturb the Heavenly Palace and Lingxu City, so he naturally has the luck and ability to overcome dangers."

No matter how much he praised him, He Lingchuan instantly heard the implication: Yes, that's right, you are the third group.

"Is it too late to say no?"

Wang Xingyi's smile didn't change at all: "A gentleman's word is final."

The conditions had been negotiated, and the promises had been made; did he want to go back on his word now? Too late.

Lingshan's ship wasn't something anyone could get off just because they wanted to.

He Lingchuan exhaled: "It sounds like a dangerous place, does the State Preceptor have any instructions?"

Hearing him accept the mission, Wang Xingyi's smile had a bit more sincerity: "Have you ever heard of 'a world in a flower'? The cave-heaven blessed land of an immortal is a small world that changes endlessly, and its operating principles may be completely different from the present world. The key to entering and exiting freely is to adapt to the laws there."

He Lingchuan didn't understand: "Since the cave-heaven blessed land is dangerous, Beijia sending people in is also courting death, what are you afraid of?"

Wang Xingyi was silent for a while before saying: "Immortals are also mainly in hibernation in the cave-heaven blessed land, or their spirits wander in the void, leaving only their bodies sitting peacefully to reduce consumption. Once an enemy invades, the consequences are unimaginable."

"Therefore, the hiding place of immortals has always been a secret of Lingshan and cannot be told to outsiders."

"Outsiders" He Lingchuan immediately asked: "Is the immortal still in the original cave-heaven blessed land after coming out of seclusion and closing seclusion again?"

"Not entirely. If the immortal can find a new cave-heaven blessed land, he might change it for safety. The superior immortal you are going to visit is called True Lord Thousand Illusions, and he has changed places since his last seclusion, which has been more than 150 years ago."

He Lingchuan exhaled: "How to find him? You have to give some hints, right?"

"True Lord Thousand Illusions left a few lines of prophecy: Wisdom lamp illuminates the illusion sea, silver pearl hides in the cave heart;" Wang Xingyi said, "Lingshan judges from this that 'Sea and Sky in One Line' should be on Silver Pearl Island. It is known as the island in the sea, the sea in the island."

"Sea in the island?" He Lingchuan muttered, "Inverted Sea?"

"Exactly."

He Lingchuan couldn't help but press his forehead: "Inverted Sea is the base camp of the Yin Dragon clan, and Yin evil spirits are rampant. Why would True Lord Thousand Illusions close seclusion there?"

If a fish wants to hibernate, it will at least choose a quiet bay, how can it jump into a desert? Yin evil spirits are harmful to living beings, even immortals avoid them.

Wang Xingyi immediately said: "Heaven and earth have changed drastically, the Yin evil spirits of the Inverted Sea have become shallow, and the Yin Dragon clan has long since moved away."

He Lingchuan was silent for a moment: "Are you sure it's really on Silver Pearl Island?"

"The Yin Dragon has long since left, and there are sea people living on Silver Pearl Island." Wang Xingyi said, "Lingshan's superior immortals believe it is eight or nine out of ten."

He Lingchuan said solemnly: "Good, I will take a trip to Silver Pearl Island when the time comes."

"Including you and me, there are no more than five people who know this secret." Wang Xingyi was solemn, "There is still some time before the cave opens, you can make some preparations."

He Lingchuan thought for a moment and asked again: "Is this True Lord Thousand Illusions human?"

"No, it's a powerful Mirage Demon." Wang Xingyi listed a few basic materials about True Lord Thousand Illusions, then coughed lightly, "So entering its cave requires even more caution. I will organize a file when I go back and let Songyuan bring it to you."

Mirage Demon? He Lingchuan smiled bitterly. There was also a Mirage Demon on Zhu Erniang's Silk Island, and He Lingchuan still didn't know what it looked like.

As for a great demon like True Lord Thousand Illusions who had accumulated years, as long as it didn't want to see anyone, I'm afraid no one could find it.

The difficulty of this trip to Silver Pearl Island was truly getting bigger and bigger.

"No, that is a powerful Mirage Demon," Wang Xingyi listed a few more basic facts about True Person Qianhuan, then coughed lightly. "Therefore, entering its cave dwelling requires even more caution. I will organize a file later and have Songyuan bring it to you."

A Mirage Demon? He Lingchuan gave a bitter smile; there was also a Mirage Demon on Zhu Xiuer's Pan Si Island, and He Lingchuan still didn't know what it looked like.

As for a long-lived great demon like True Person Qianhuan, as long as it didn't want to see anyone, I'm afraid no one could find it.

The difficulty of this trip to Silver Pearl Island was truly getting higher and higher.
