Chapter 1726

~8 min read 1,418 words

Xiao Wencheng mused: "Does that area of the Yao Nation still worship Miao Zhantian?" They ignored He Lingchuan's question, but He Lingchuan had to answer theirs.

He Lingchuan smiled, not minding at all: "The generals and commanders who covet the Yao territory all have to vie for Miao Zhantian's support and favor."

Xiao Wencheng understood: "Do you think this fleet at sea is personnel borrowed by Bai Ziqi from Miao Zhantian?"

"Eight or nine times out of ten." He Lingchuan was very frank. "For over a hundred years, Miao Zhantian has been deeply rooted in the Flash Gold Plain. If Bai Ziqi wants to borrow strength, he can only turn to it. Miao Zhantian's methods are formidable; everyone, be careful!"

Borrow what personnel? The Tiangong was just a subordinate of the Heavenly Demons; in He Lingchuan's view, this was Bai Ziqi acting on Miao Zhantian's orders!

Elder Xu had long since lost his patience and stood out, saying: "Why say so much? Let's just test their weight!"

He Lingchuan and his two companions saw him reach his hand directly into the Haoyuan Golden Mirror! Not only did he reach into the mirror, he even stirred it a few times, a motion similar to beating eggs, while he hummed: "Waves, come!"

The surface of the mirror rippled, like water being stirred.

He Lingchuan also noticed that one of the turquoise stones embedded in the top of the mirror turned red rapidly following Elder Xu's movements.

Once the surface of the mirror became calm again, how did that saying go?

Smooth as a mirror!

Yes, until the image appeared in high definition again, He Lingchuan and his two companions discovered that the previously calm sea inside the mirror was now churning with waves; in the distance, large waves were pushing higher and higher, advancing toward Bai Ziqi's fleet! Elder Xu then withdrew his hand with satisfaction. He Lingchuan noticed his hand was dry, without even a single drop of water.

By the time the wave reached the front of the fleet, the crest was already fifteen zhang (fifty meters) high. He Lingchuan, watching the battle in front of the mirror, had his expression change slightly. What the mirror showed was reality; this was a genuine tsunami!

Yes, it could no longer be called a large wave; it was a tsunami!

The most terrifying thing was that before the tsunami arrived, the sea surface where the fleet was located dropped rapidly, and both the seawater and the fleet were sucked toward the massive tide directly ahead!

Although Bai Ziqi's flagship was large and luxurious, in the face of such natural power, it was like a toy boat in a water tank, ready to capsize with a single flick.

The Soul-Absorbing Mirror in He Lingchuan's arms exclaimed in admiration: "Good, good, good! This 'Canglang Art' is truly remarkable, but it can only be cast through the Haoyuan Golden Mirror!"

He Lingchuan had seen the name of the Canglang Art in the list of new divine abilities given to him in Panlong City; it also had a nickname called "Adding Fuel to the Fire." It was a divine ability where the consumption of true qi and the effect were not proportional. He Lingchuan had seen sorcerers in the city practicing it in the lake; they would exhaust almost all their true qi just to push out three or five small-to-medium waves, the height of which was... just over his head.

The cost-effectiveness was low, so few people currently used military merits to exchange for it; but it was said that when practiced to a profound level, the effect was very powerful.

It was said.

Now it seemed the introduction to the divine ability hadn't lied; Elder Xu's display of this technique was quite powerful.

However, Elder Xu cast the spell inside the mirror, and the sea where Bai Ziqi was located suddenly surged—what kind of operation was this? "This is the wonder of the Haoyuan Golden Mirror!" the Soul-Absorbing Mirror explained, "As long as it can merge with a certain scene, it can mobilize the spiritual energy within that space to manifest and amplify the effects of your spells and divine abilities; this is called 'Seeing the Great in the Small'."

He Lingchuan looked at the tsunami in the mirror; *ho*, it was certainly amplified quite a bit.

But after this divine ability was cast, one of the turquoise stones on the mirror had completely turned into a ruby. At the same time, the surrounding spiritual energy was also continuously rushing into the Haoyuan Golden Mirror.

The Wenhui Pavilion had a skylight, and pale cyan spiritual mist was continuously pouring in from above. He Lingchuan could even feel the vortex formed in the air as spiritual energy was sucked away too quickly.

He Lingchuan guessed that the tsunami divine ability just now had consumed the storage of one turquoise stone from the Haoyuan Golden Mirror. To stir up such large wind and waves in the real sea, the energy consumption couldn't be anything but astonishing.

It seemed this thing had usage restrictions; after all three turquoise stones were consumed, the "Seeing the Great in the Small" feature would likely go silent for a while.

The Soul-Absorbing Mirror immediately added a "but": "But I, I also didn't expect it to be as outrageous as the current tsunami."

"Seeing the Great in the Small" also had its limits, right? Could it be amplified to this extent?

Merging with the scene? He Lingchuan had a sudden realization: the Haoyuan Golden Mirror had merged with the space of the Upside-Down Sea, right? That was the key point, which allowed it to manifest various wonders.

Seen this way, the home-field advantage the Illusion Sect occupied in the Upside-Down Sea was truly outrageously large.

Watching the panicked expressions of the people on the ships, He Lingchuan felt a bit worried for Bai Ziqi instead.

If this guy were slapped to death by a large wave, wouldn't all his own arrangements be in vain?

He also secretly frowned; there were still many small fishing boats at sea that couldn't avoid it in time. The Illusion Sect using this Canglang Art might not necessarily deal with Bai Ziqi's fleet, but it would turn these fishing boats upside down.

Elder Xu also hummed: "If they can't even pass this hurdle, we'll send someone to fish up their corpses later and send them back to the Tiangong!"

Seeing the fleet about to suffer a catastrophic disaster, a rift flashing with cyan light suddenly appeared on the sea surface directly ahead; it looked like a tear in a canvas, and also like the wide-open mouth of a monster.

The fleet was carried forward by the seawater, heading straight for this huge gap, the ships rocking as if they had encountered a force-sixteen hurricane.

Afterward, the giant wave crashed down, sweeping away everything.

He Lingchuan subconsciously held his breath, watching the fleet disappear beneath the giant wave. This wasn't a simple image; this was the real situation on the ocean outside! Xiao Wencheng and the others also watched the Haoyuan Golden Mirror, their faces solemn.

Had the Tiangong's fleet been overturned? This man-made wave only happened once; after it crashed, the entire sea area remained turbulent. There were still thirty or forty small fishing boats on the sea that couldn't dodge in time and were also swept into the tide, disappearing in an instant.

That meant at least a hundred fishermen were buried at the bottom of the sea.

Furthermore, the aftermath of the tsunami also began to impact Silver Pearl Island; the beaches and coastlines were met with wild waves over two zhang high.

Elder Jin suddenly pointed at the mirror surface: "Not good, look here."

Where he pointed was the sea surface after the tsunami had passed; there was still turbulent aftermath, and suddenly the cyan light appeared again. More than ten large ships sailed out from the rift and slid onto the sea surface!

Not more, not less—exactly seventeen ships, one fewer than before.

It seemed that ship had been at the very back and couldn't enter the rift in time, thus being buried by the tsunami.

"A spatial divine ability? What a large range." Elder Liu muttered, "Not simple at all."

For immortals, spatial divine abilities were nothing new, but being able to create a space that allowed so many ships to pass through at once was truly remarkable.

Zhu Xiuer suddenly said: "It might not be a spatial divine ability."
