Chapter 1735

Soon.

"It just so happens that Upside-Down Lake is separated from the outer sea by only a dam." He pointed to the coastline. "Then open the dam and lure them in."

The Haoyuan Golden Mirror showed that Bai Ziqi's fleet had found another flat beach and was preparing to land.

Xiao Wencheng took the first step, once again inviting True Person Qianhuan's power to pull this flat beach up into a towering reef.

Thus, the whole island had another earthquake, and the rumbling sound was endless.

Dozens of sorcerers in Bai Ziqi's fleet were unconvinced and wanted to gather everyone's strength to press the reef flat, but no matter how much force they used, it was like mud cows entering the sea.

Useless; the terrain and landscape of the Upside-Down Sea are decided by the Haoyuan Golden Mirror—no, by True Person Qianhuan.

The fleet had no choice but to give up and turn around to find the next landing point.

And taking advantage of the earth-shattering nature of the last landscape change, Xiao Wencheng quietly pressed down with his other hand by the side of Upside-Down Lake, pressing that dam deep into nothingness.

Seawater poured in all at once.

In this way, there was no barrier between Upside-Down Lake and the ocean, and the water areas could communicate.

And looking from the sand table, Upside-Down Lake is no longer a lake; it is clearly a natural harbor connected to the outer sea!

"Bai Ziqi's fleet will definitely not miss this place." Xiao Wencheng was very satisfied with this move. "Junior Brother Jin, Junior Brother Xu, prepare to take people over."

The two elders responded and turned to walk out of the pavilion.

The mirror showed that Bai Ziqi's fleet was advancing along the coastline, and sure enough, they arrived at Upside-Down Lake two quarters of an hour later!

He Lingchuan saw with his own eyes that this fleet entered from the original enclosure and slowly sailed toward the inner lake shore.

"It's time; don't let them set up the array!" Xiao Wencheng lightly patted the Haoyuan Golden Mirror, and the mirror disappeared, as if it had never existed in the quiet room.

"Go to the square." He said to He Lingchuan, then pushed open the door and flicked his sleeve, actually disappearing from under the eyes of He Lingchuan and the others.

On their own turf, these immortals really have some useful divine abilities. Zhu Xiuer spat with envy.

The Illusion Sect borrowed the power of heaven and earth to launch several attacks, all of which were hard-taken by the Tiangong.

The price was that the connection array, which affected the whole body with one move, had reached its limit; the ship array disbanded, forced to withdraw from the mechanism of advancing and retreating together and sharing damage. In the blink of an eye, the fleet lost three more ships, leaving only fourteen, three of which were severely damaged and difficult to advance.

Everyone tightened their heartstrings, and even Bai Ziqi's face was as heavy as water. No matter how much ability they had, they had to land first; being at sea was a huge disadvantage.

Fortunately, the Illusion Sect also lowered its flags and drums after a round of explosive attacks, temporarily not stirring up any more wind and waves.

As for the ointment on the bottom of the water, he used the lamp spirit of Bai Shi to make a dark fire and burned it clean in the sea.

So Bai Ziqi seized the opportunity and ordered the fleet to advance at full speed.

The sea surface returned to calm, but everyone knew that this stability would not last long. Soon, a small boat rowed over from behind on the sea, and Bai Wei quickly came to report: "My Lord, people from Luodian and Longye have come to request an audience."

Bai Ziqi nodded.

So ten or twenty breaths later, the big men sent by the two armies stood on the deck and bowed respectfully to Bai Ziqi: "My Lord! The General sent us to listen for the next step of action!"

Translated into plain language: The fleet has gone to two places and can't land; what are you planning to do next? Tell us first, so we don't run around like headless flies.

These two or three thousand people had been wandering at sea with Bai Ziqi's flagship for a long time, and didn't know what they were supposed to do.

Bai Ziqi said lightly: "Follow closely, just prepare to land."

He understood that these three forces were worried that they couldn't stay at sea for long, fearing that the Immortal Sect would launch another big move.

The previous tsunamis and giant fish were too scary, and the opponent could even easily raise the land, turning flat beaches into high cliffs. These divine abilities were far beyond the scope of human power, making people feel discouraged. Although these warriors were brave, they were drifting with the waves on the ship and knew that it wasn't something they could contend with by relying on their own courage.

The two men looked at each other, looking troubled.

Report back to the General like this? "Don't worry, the opponent can't do anything to us." Bai Ziqi pressed his ring. "Otherwise, just have a few more tsunamis; why go to the trouble of raising the land and stopping us from landing?"

The two were cautious: "You mean?"

Bai Ziqi explained: "Even if the Illusion Sect can move mountains and fill seas, even if this is an illusion, the spiritual energy consumed by using such great divine abilities is extremely astonishing. How many times can they use it? Don't forget, the Great Array of Inverted Heaven and Earth set up by Qianhuan outside has stopped turning, and the spiritual energy of the Upside-Down Sea cannot be replenished in time; the resources they consume are all inventory, and they can't be as extravagant as before."

"You mean, we can land soon?"

Talking to these guys is like playing the lute to a cow; Bai Ziqi sighed: "Yes, at most two or three more locations."

It seems that a clear answer is enough; there is no need to explain so much.

The two were happy and immediately took their leave, returning to their respective ships to report.

As long as they could report back: Bai Ziqi clearly said that at most two or three more places and they could land! They had just stepped off the deck when a gray parrot flew down from the gray sail, folded its wings, and landed on the wooden door frame beside Bai Ziqi, speaking in human language:

"Good analysis."

Female voice.

Bai Ziqi immediately bowed to it: "Goddess."

This gray parrot was none other than Miaozhantian's report-bird.

"I have fought Qianhuan before; its illusion is subtle and its divine abilities are mysterious, and its fighting style is completely different from the attack just now; it wouldn't do such thankless attacks." The gray parrot said, "The intelligence probed by the insect demon might be true; Qianhuan's true form is abnormal, which is great news for us."

Bai Ziqi looked toward the direction of Stone Dragon Peak: "With all due respect, although Qianhuan hasn't appeared, it has already caused us unexpected losses."

From the moment he led the team to hunt down Qianhuan, he knew this trip was extremely dangerous. But they had lost four ships and hundreds of elites before even stepping on Silver Pearl Island, which was more intense than he had expected.

"Except for the Black Dragon, I have never seen any immortal who can achieve 'heaven and earth working together,' even in their own cave dwelling." The gray parrot paced out two steps. "Here, even Qianhuan's subordinates can do it; suspicious! It's likely borrowing its power. It seems Qianhuan hasn't been idle for these two thousand years and has had some more insights. But an illusion is an illusion; the more they do as they please, the more 'distorted' it becomes, and 'distortion' is bound not to last long."

Even an illusion has some rules to follow. Once it can't be held, the illusion will break on its own.

Whether god or immortal, for thousands of years, what they have been painstakingly cultivating is the rules, and what they understand is the law.

Bai Ziqi seized the opportunity to ask: "Where is the boundary of True Person Qianhuan's illusion? I see that the commoners on the island are all living people, and the insects, forests, fish, and birds are all real."

"Not strange at all. Qianhuan's illusion is to make you unable to distinguish truth from falsehood; you think it's fake, but it's all real; you think it's real, but it's fake. You know clearly that this is Qianhuan's illusion, yet you have no way to guard against it." The gray parrot said slowly, "This is called: when falsehood is taken for truth, truth also becomes false. It is meaningless for you to calculate its boundary."

Bai Ziqi pondered.

Indeed, the damage caused by tsunamis and giant fish since the Tiangong team entered the Upside-Down Sea is real, and the land forcibly raised is also real; looking at it this way, what is the difference between illusion and reality?

He thought for a while and said again: "The Illusion Sect stopped attacking; it seems that even on their own turf, great divine abilities and great power are not infinite."

"The Illusion Sect wantonly casts great divine abilities, thinking they are waving their arms, but they are actually overdrawing the foundation of the entire illusion." The gray parrot laughed. "The fleet is a bit embarrassed; I originally hoped they would attack again, but who knew they would lower their flags and drums. It seems this is their limit."

It's good to test the limit.

Seeing that the Tiangong team suffered heavy losses, but they couldn't attack anymore, the Illusion Sect must be very annoyed, right?

Bai Ziqi seized the time: "I heard that Qianhuan was once defeated by you? May I ask the Goddess, what exactly is its true form?"

Mirage Demon is just a general term; it is said that there are many demon species, but it is difficult for outsiders to get close.

The gray parrot was silent for a small while and shook its head: "This question must be asked to Lady Mitian, but I suspect that even He might not know the answer."

"Lady Mitian?" Bai Ziqi was a bit surprised; he hadn't heard of this great god for a long time.

"In ancient times, Qianhuan ambushed me in the Endless Sea; at that time, it also used an external dharma image. Later, Lady Mitian rushed over to help. He was the undisputed God of War at the time; Qianhuan couldn't defeat him and fled, and was chased by Lady Mitian for half the world before escaping. Qianhuan's whereabouts are ethereal; this is the only defeat recorded in its file." The gray parrot said, "After that battle, Qianhuan was seriously injured and didn't appear until the end of the ancient war. The grudge between it and Lady Mitian was formed like this, until later..."

It gave a low laugh, stopped, and turned to say: "Even in ancient times, Qianhuan never revealed its true form, but instead had various dharma images. This should be to make up for the insufficiency of its true form."

That is to say, Qianhuan's true form is not powerful? Bai Ziqi immediately said: "Since Qianhuan is in seclusion and won't come out, our strategy will change slightly; after landing, we will first build a stronghold, stand firm, build a lighthouse, and plunder spiritual energy. In this process, the Illusion Sect immortals will definitely come to stop us."

The gray parrot immediately said: "Water comes, earth covers. You just need to complete the tasks at hand; as for the immortals, you don't need to worry about them."

Although it was understated, Bai Ziqi understood that the promise Miaozhantian personally gave would definitely be fulfilled!

This is completely different from the Yao Nation coup; He could be indifferent to Bai Tan's request; but Bai Ziqi breaking into Qianhuan's cave dwelling is working for Him, and this team is His elite force on the Flash Gold Plain, so Miaozhantian Himself must also take a correct attitude and go all out.

Getting this reassurance, Bai Ziqi had more confidence: "After repelling the Illusion Sect, we will take advantage of the situation and head north to attack Stone Dragon Peak."
