Chapter 1738: Immortal Capital Array

Behind him, someone took out a large drum and started beating it. This drum was only the size of a palm when taken out, but it grew to two sizes larger than a millstone as soon as it met the wind; it was thick and ancient, and the brown skin on the drum surface had shallow, fine scale patterns.

The drumstick was not an ordinary wooden stick, but a pair of long, branched horns.

This was one of the Tiangong's supreme treasures, the Soul-Shocking Drum!

It was an immortal treasure passed down from ancient times, made of Mount Qilin skin, and the drumstick was a pair of Mount Qilin horns. It had more than a dozen ways of beating, corresponding to more than a dozen effects, but the most basic one was to shock the soul and seize the soul! The dull drum sound resounded through the Inverted Lake, rumbling like beating on everyone's heart, causing qi and blood to float and making them feel uncomfortable and want to vomit. However, the Heart-Calming Banners on each ship quickly rotated, the banner strips danced, and there was also a dim green light covering the living people on the ship.

The water monsters that were attacking for their lives paused at the sound, trembling, and their movements were no longer as smooth as before. The Soul-Shocking Drum beat a dozen more times, and many water monsters acted like they were drunk, walking unsteadily, and then fell to the ground.

One after another, gray souls flew out of their shells and were about to throw themselves into the Inverted Lake.

At this time, the drumbeat of the Soul-Shocking Drum suddenly became dense, actually playing a sharp sound of killing; the water ghosts hadn't escaped the ship's body yet when they were shocked to pieces! They were originally dead souls from the bottom of the water, and they didn't know where they borrowed the water shells; usually, the connection between the soul bodies wasn't as tight as that of living people, so they couldn't withstand the Soul-Shocking drumbeat and scattered at one shock.

Bai Bai Ziqi had already seen it; the "Yaksha" crawling up from the bottom of the lake could be endless, until his side's manpower was exhausted. Eliminating these things couldn't be done purely by military confrontation, but by attacking their weaknesses.

He brought the Soul-Shocking Drum into the cave dwelling, originally fearing that True Person Qianhuan's illusion would confuse the masses, so he could use the drum to lift and intimidate; he didn't expect that using it to repel the Yaksha would also be the right medicine.

The Yaksha on the ship fell one after another, and in the blink of an eye, they melted into water and disappeared, without even leaving a corpse behind.

Seeing a fierce battle just started, and about to vanish in a snap, everyone let out a long sigh of relief. These water monsters weren't strong in power, but they were endless; who had the physical strength to resist to the end?

However, the last ship suddenly swayed violently, and in this windless harbor, the swaying amplitude exceeded ninety degrees, as if a pair of invisible big hands were playing with it.

The bird demon flew over quickly to report: "Yaksha drilled through the bottom of the ship, trying to sink our ship!"

The Yaksha learned their lesson; if they came out of the water and showed their heads, they would be shocked away by the Soul-Shocking Drum, so they simply hid at the bottom of the water to make trouble.

It wasn't appropriate to send anyone into the water at this time, so Bai Shiqi pointed, and his lamp spirit rushed into the water with a "whoosh."

Anyone could see that this lamp spirit turned into a shark before entering the water.

However, after the water splashed, the lake water was dark, just like before.

What about the light?

The lamp spirit always emitted warm golden light; how could it disappear as soon as it entered the water?

"I can't see anything underwater; my lamp spirit is driving away the Yaksha at the bottom of the water..." Bai Shiqi said this, suddenly screaming while holding his chest, "There's something, there's something at the bottom of the water tearing my lamp spirit!"

Bai Bai Ziqi immediately ordered: "Advance to the shore at full speed; it's not safe in the water."

Two other White Guards also released their lamp spirits into the water to rescue.

Just then, other large ships also swayed, obviously the Yaksha had taken a fancy to them too.

The sorcerers rushed to the side of the ship, endured the turbulence, and joined forces to cast a divine ability: Heaven-Shocking Thunder.

This was a weakened version of an ancient divine ability, originally used in the war between Immortals and Gods, and was used to hit the sky; now it was also useful to launch it toward the water. Seven or eight big thunders exploded after entering the water three zhang, and the water surface was blown into water splashes more than two zhang high!

It showed its great power.

The Yaksha at the bottom of the water naturally suffered, and a large area was shocked unconscious.

The sea ship seized the time to sail toward the shore.

Bai Bai Ziqi had already discovered earlier that the water monsters crawling out of the Inverted Lake were getting bigger and bigger, obviously they were constantly adjusting themselves.

True Person Qianhuan is truly worthy of the name; he could conjure up so many tricks without his true form appearing.

The large ships had just docked, and the Tiangong army couldn't wait to jump onto the stone beach, which was full of people like dumplings.

Phew, having feet on the ground is the most reassuring!

Even if the Yaksha came to attack again, everyone's response could be much calmer.

After landing, the first thing Bai Bai Ziqi did was order his personal guards to take out the talisman tools and start setting up the array.

This was also a spiritual energy gathering array, called the "Immortal Capital Array." Unlike the Inverted Heaven-Defying Great Array, it only had eleven array feet, and the range of gathering spiritual energy was relatively small, only covering Silver Pearl Island.

But its efficiency in absorbing spiritual energy in a short time was very strong, several times that of the Heaven-Defying Great Array.

In fact, the Tiangong also used it on the night of the great Emperor Flowing Pulp.

This array also had the greatest advantage, which was portability; including the array eye and array feet, there were twelve ready-made talisman tools in total, which could be carried with you, set up immediately, and almost didn't need extra debugging.

Bai Bai Ziqi's team had to deal with endless enemies; where would they have the heart and patience to debug the array?

He walked to the edge of the stone beach, grabbed the array eye, threw it into mid-air, and shouted: "Rise!"

The array eye was shaped like a flower vessel; as soon as it flew into mid-air, it stabilized itself, the petals bloomed layer by layer, emitting pink light.

The other eleven array tools also flew around the array eye as if summoned, choosing their positions and blooming automatically.

Yes, this Immortal Capital Array was suspended in mid-air, three zhang off the ground, and did not touch the ground, so the changes on the surface were basically irrelevant to it. Unless the Illusion Sect performed another mountain-pulling displacement and created a big mountain here.

That didn't matter; Bai Bai Ziqi could change to another place and set up the array again, to see whose consumption was greater and whose cost was higher.

The array ran automatically, frantically extracting the spiritual energy in this world! The palace guards standing near the array could even see the green spiritual energy from far and near being sucked over and thrown into the vortex stirred up by the array.

Spiritual energy, green mist-like spiritual energy! This was truly a gathering of wind and clouds.

The main eye of the Immortal Capital Array leads directly to a golden, bud-shaped container at the base of the petals. The spiritual energy drawn in here is converted into a liquid and stored.

The Tiangong had existed for a long time and didn't know how many cycles of spiritual energy recovery it had experienced, and it had a complete set of insights and efficient magic tools for receiving Emperor Flowing Pulp.

They didn't have to be like He He Lingchuan, collecting countless containers to hold Emperor Flowing Pulp.

However, the area of the Inverted Sea was limited, and the total amount of spiritual energy couldn't compare to the time when the Emperor Flowing Pulp was flourishing in the outside world. Being sucked wildly by the "Immortal Capital Array" like this, it was hard to say when it would dry up.

Digging up the roots of the Immortals—this was the core idea of the Tiangong and Bai Bai Ziqi's counter-guest-as-host and turning passive into active attack.

The Immortal Capital Great Array was successfully opened, and the Tiangong team cheered.

According to past experience, this move was very easy to use in other Immortals' cave dwellings.
