Chapter 1565: Substitute Version

The subordinate whispered: "Lord Envoy, it is unlikely that this array failed on its own, whether it is material selection, array layout, or operation, it is too concise." The more precise things are, the easier it is to make mistakes, and arrays are no exception.

But this Great Tiangang Array, how should I put it, has obtained the true meaning of "the great way is simple." Even the choice of array pillars is the stupid, big, and thick giant fern trees. This thing is known as the iron wood living fossil, and it will be no problem to stand for seven or eight hundred years.

"The array is so concise but can still operate efficiently, which shows that the array eye is very powerful." Bai Ziqi stroked his chin. "The possibility of the array eye chosen by the Thousand Illusions True Person being damaged on its own is very low. That is to say—"

The array eye was likely taken away by humans.

Who can see through the Thousand Illusions True Person's illusion, accurately find the array eye, and take away the divine object inside?

A flash of inspiration flashed in the page boy's mind, and he blurted out: "Could it be the Luosheng Armor made by the Yuyang Sect? Did the Great Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds take it away?"

Bai Qi immediately refuted: "The Luosheng Armor has long been gone from Dragon Head Mountain. A thousand years ago, it was taken away by the founding emperor of the Glittering Gold Empire!"

"Oh, yes." The page boy patted his forehead. The Luosheng Armor came into the world in Keshan; how could he have forgotten? "Guessing won't work, but since this place is called Dragon Head Mountain and is the legendary place where the Dragon God fell, perhaps that object is related to the Dragon God."

Bai Qi couldn't help but say: "Can we activate the array and figure out where the spiritual energy is transported!"

In the thousands of years of fighting, the ancient immortals who survived have also learned to be cunning, and their caves are mostly not opened next to the spirit-gathering array. But they went to great lengths to set up the spirit-gathering array, so they must transport the spiritual energy to their own caves.

Therefore, where the array collects the spiritual energy, that is where the immortal is hiding!

Bai San, who is proficient in array supernatural powers, immediately refuted: "No, we don't have the appropriate artifact."

"We have so many treasures..." Bai Qi looked at Bai Ziqi. "Can't any of them be used temporarily?"

"You don't know what kind of artifact is needed to activate the array." Bai San gave an example. "Just like the Xushan array, it must be guided by a star map to take effect. Is it useful to just get any artifact to serve as the array eye?"

Bai Ziqi has been thinking repeatedly: "Why is this Tiangang array different? Why make these changes?"

The Great Tiangang Array set up by the Thousand Illusions True Person has seven array pillars that are different from the conventional ones.

The conventional Great Tiangang Array can also take effect, so why make this change? The Thousand Illusions True Person wouldn't not understand the principle that the simpler it is, the less likely it is to make mistakes.

"Let's assume that the divine object originally placed in the array eye is related to the Dragon God." Bai Ziqi took out a rectangular white jade box from his arms and opened it solemnly. "Let's try this."

Bold assumptions, but careful verification.

On the brocade pad of the box lay a beautiful cyan scale, exactly one chi in length! The scale is diamond-shaped, very thick, with a protrusion in the middle, sharp outer edges, and small serrations. If you look closely, there are ripples on the surface of the scale, which ripple when illuminated by moonlight, like the surface of a lake with slight waves.

It is extraordinary at first glance.

"This is..." Bai Qi was still a bit confused, but recognized it upon closer inspection, and couldn't help but exclaim, "The Emperor's scale!"

This is actually the scale of the Beijia Demon Emperor! "This is a token bestowed by the Emperor, used to mobilize the power of Beijia on the Glittering Gold Plain. Let's take it to try for an emergency." Bai Ziqi said to him, "You go to the nearest giant fern tree and wait, and report at any time."

There is a giant fern tree nearby, about two hundred zhang away from this dried-up pebble beach.

Bai Qi rushed over like flying.

Bai Ziqi looked around with the scale, wondering where it should be placed? "This was changed when the Emperor finished his juvenile period. It is the scale in the middle of the forehead. It used to absorb the purple energy from the east in the early morning. In terms of hardness and spiritual essence, it is second only to the reverse scale."

At the end of the dried-up stream is a cliff. In the days when there was water, it should have been a spectacular waterfall.

Bai Ziqi walked over with the scale and said, "The Emperor is not only of the dragon genus but also a descendant of the Dragon God. Assuming—assuming this spirit-gathering array only recognizes the aura of the Dragon God, perhaps the Emperor's scale can be tried."

The Heavenly Palace group understood: he wanted to use the power of the Dragon God's bloodline to fish in troubled waters.

This is also an alternative way to deduce the category of the divine object in the array eye.

Bai Ziqi took out half a candle from his arms and blew a breath, and the Lamp Spirit came out.

Unlike usual, it burned the remaining candle rapidly, burning out the one-finger-long candle body within ten breaths.

At this time, the Lamp Spirit was as big as a fist, as if it contained a group of fire, red and scary.

Bai Ziqi patted it on the cyan scale, and the Lamp Spirit attached to the scale, even dyeing it red.

Of course, the strength of the cyan scale is amazing, and it remained undamaged even after being scorched by the Lamp Spirit.

There was a depression on the stone wall in front of him, and Bai Ziqi pressed the burning cyan scale into it with force.

If this five-li range is the array eye, theoretically he only needs to let the substitute divine object touch the earth.

Judging from the characteristics of this array, its array eye should be very grounded.

Sure enough, as soon as the Emperor's cyan scale was embedded in the stone wall, the surrounding mountain forest rustled, and a gust of wind blew out of thin air.

Soon, it formed a tornado, one end into the clouds and the other on the ground, slowly moving toward the position where everyone was.

The momentum was huge.

Bai Ziqi and the others immediately retreated into the forest, watching the tornado move to the riverbed, which was the position where he embedded the cyan scale, and then it disappeared with a swoosh!

The world returned to peace, as if nothing had happened, only leaves fell from the air, indicating that it was not peaceful just now.

Bai Ziqi let out a long sigh of relief, he bet right!

Everyone also cheered: "It's done, it's done!"

Soon, Bai Qi rushed back from afar to report: "Lord Envoy, the giant fern tree has deformed and turned into an old tree!"

Bai Ziqi had already judged, nodded upon hearing this: "The disguise of the array pillar has been restored, indicating that the spirit-gathering array has started to operate again. Seize the time."

Everyone looked at the stone wall again, the cyan scale was still in place, but the fiery red Lamp Spirit was gone.

Bai Ziqi took out the purple-gold plate again: "Look, remember the position."

There was another light spot on the purple-gold plate, but it was no longer golden, but fiery red.

Everyone knew that this was the Lamp Spirit attached to the cyan scale just now.

It was not stationary on the plate, but had been moving toward the northwest, moving forward, and moving forward!

The page boy was so shocked that he didn't dare to breathe: "This is the direction where the spirit-gathering array transports spiritual energy!"

Spiritual energy is colorless and formless, difficult to track, so Bai Ziqi attached the Lamp Spirit to the array eye to track the transmission of spiritual energy.

The destination of the spiritual energy is the hiding place of the Thousand Illusions True Person!
