Chapter 1749: You Just Blow
Dong Rui scratched the back of his head uneasily: "The sand table doesn't display it. Does it mean the Heavenly Demon's barrier can deceive the Immortal Venerable's magic eyes?" "Not bad! If the Immortal Venerable were awake, such petty tricks couldn't deceive him; but he is currently..." Xiao Wencheng's face was gloomy. "Then in the vast perception of the Immortal Venerable, nothing happened within these two barriers, and he might not even have discovered the existence of these few barriers!"
"This kind of barrier can be called an 'anomaly point', an abnormal location."
His explanation was awkward, but in He Lingchuan's understanding, Miaozhan Heaven was artificially creating a few loopholes, or bugs, in the world built by the Thousand Illusions, not only isolating the laws established by the Thousand Illusions in the Chaohu but also shielding the Thousand Illusions' perception of this place!
In other words, Miaozhan Heaven's barrier had become "invisible" in the Thousand Illusions' illusion.
This was truly a bizarre scene: the Thousand Illusions' illusion was striving for reality, while Miaozhan Heaven's Eye of Truth was working hard to create fakes in his illusion.
He Lingchuan murmured: "When fakes are treated as real, the real also becomes fake."
What kind of thing was this? Mother Zhu said: "Miaozhan Heaven's lighthouses are built one after another and connected into one piece. There are more and more such 'anomaly points' that can deceive the Immortal Venerable. As the coverage area of the lighthouses expands, Miaozhan Heaven's power will expel your Immortal Venerable's power and, in turn, establish its own Heavenly Demon barrier on the island!"
At that time, the Tiangong forces would retreat from the lakeside to the central and northern parts of Yinzhu Island, and the Yakshas wouldn't chase that far, so they could free up their hands and concentrate on dealing with the Illusion Sect. And within the lighthouse barrier, Miaozhan Heaven's power was slowly strengthening. Once it inserted lighthouses all over the island, it would mean the Chaohu was no longer the home field of the Thousand Illusions.
This was a terrifying prospect. No, it wasn't far.
Mother Zhu added: "These so-called 'lighthouses' are all carefully refined in advance and couldn't have been made in a hurry. Calculating the unintentional with the intentional, you are suffering a big loss."
Plus Bai Ziqi's careful coordination, sometimes swallowing, sometimes nibbling, all hitting the weaknesses of the Immortals. As soon as they came in, they had to catch the other side off guard.
Dong Rui murmured: "If Yinzhu Island is covered with lighthouses, then..."
Thinking about it made one shudder.
He coughed lightly: "Sect Master Xiao, do we have any other backhands? The current situation isn't very good."
Besides the Thousand Illusions closing in seclusion, nine great Immortals of the Illusion Sect had died just like that.
How did he look at it, this hand wasn't very good. The Illusion Sect wasn't an ordinary Immortal Sect; if they had backhands, shouldn't they be brought out? Xiao Wencheng knew he was bringing up the old topic again, thinking about inviting the Thousand Illusions Immortal Venerable to sweep across the army.
He Lingchuan shook his head: "It hasn't reached that point yet."
He could see that Xiao Wencheng was quite steady, which was a sign of having backhands.
"The Tiangong thinks too simply!" Xiao Wencheng stared at the mirror surface without looking back. "Miaozhan Heaven wants to use these lighthouses to contend with the Immortal Venerable's rules in the Chaohu; the consumption is astonishing! How many more can it build?"
Besides the comparison of strength, fighting a war finally comes down to consumption and resources.
Contending with the Thousand Illusions' power on the Mirage Immortal's territory, even if it was just breaking one point, the spiritual energy consumed was an astronomical figure.
Moreover, building six or seven lighthouses wasn't enough. Judging from their coverage area, there had to be at least twelve or thirteen.
The lighthouse itself was still growing, and the larger the barrier coverage area, the higher the energy consumption.
He Lingchuan, however, had a different view: "Sect Master Xiao, if these lighthouse barriers are all connected into one piece, they can collectively resist the Immortal Venerable's law power, which is actually much easier."
Unity is strength; this saying doesn't just apply to living things. When the lighthouses shine on each other, it means the law skylight of the Chaohu illusion world is being expanded wider and wider.
This is called, becoming a climate.
The comparison of strength between the two sides is always one rising and the other falling.
He Lingchuan originally couldn't be bothered to open his mouth. People didn't want his suggestions, so he sat and watched the Illusion Sect's situation fall into passivity bit by bit.
But the safety of his group was finally tied to the victory or defeat of the Illusion Sect, so he couldn't truly stay out of it.
Xiao Wencheng's face was as heavy as water.
This made sense. The most terrifying thing was that Miaozhan Heaven's methods probably weren't just this one move.
"I'm afraid the lighthouse barrier also has a hidden drawback." He Lingchuan looked around, and it happened that other Immortals weren't there, so he pointed at the sand table and said to Xiao Wencheng, "They temporarily hid the damage of divine arts to this piece of heaven and earth! I'm afraid it will be even harder to summon the Immortal Venerable."
The battle between the Immortals and the Tiangong could be called a passionate collision. Before the barrier blurred, he had watched with great interest. With one magic spell from an Immortal, the ground was like being plowed several times, and the solid rock underneath was dug out.
The confrontation between these two major forces objectively caused damage to the small cave dwelling. According to Mother Zhu's deduction, if the Chaohu shook violently and exceeded a certain threshold, it might wake the Thousand Illusions from the state of "Heaven and Man as One"! But the appearance of the lighthouse barrier was like pieces of white cloth, covering the bloody wounds of the small cave dwelling first, making it impossible for the Thousand Illusions to perceive.
This could delay the Thousand Illusions' exit from seclusion.
He spoke a bit obscurely, but Xiao Wencheng was the kind of person who understood at a single point, and his face changed.
This Island Master He was right again! One of the purposes of Miaozhan Heaven setting up these barriers might be to hide the damage of the Immortal-Demon Great War to the small cave dwelling, temporarily appeasing the Thousand Illusions Immortal Venerable.
This was a delaying tactic.
Once it slaughtered the Illusion Sect from top to bottom, it would be much more leisurely to deal with the Thousand Illusions.
"This is a very complete plan. From the Thousand Illusions Immortal Venerable to the various members of the Illusion Sect, the Tiangong has long calculated you all." In He Lingchuan's view, the invasion of Miaozhan Heaven and Bai Ziqi was both methodical and had backhands, orderly; although the Illusion Sect was fighting in a hurry and attacking passively, more and more problems were being exposed.
But this was a good thing for He Lingchuan. If the Illusion Sect fought smoothly, would there be any room for him to intervene in this battle? Seeing that the timing was ripe, he turned the conversation and started to be impolite: "The Immortal Venerable clearly left behind a good hand of cards; it really shouldn't be played like this."
A junior from outside pointing out faults like this, Xiao Wencheng frowned, but was speechless.
If Elder Xu were here, he would probably slap the table and glare at He Lingchuan. But Xiao Wencheng knew clearly that He Lingchuan was stating a fact, and this was his mistake to begin with.
Elder Liu walked over and happened to hear these few sentences, suddenly saying: "Island Master He seems to understand Bai Ziqi exceptionally well. Do you have any grudges with him?"
He Lingchuan had been here for so long, and these Immortals were showing interest in him for the first time.
Because he didn't make suggestions easily, but every time he did, he was right.
It had happened several times.
The Immortals were now in an adverse situation, so they thought about listening to other people's views.
The one who took over the conversation wasn't He Lingchuan, but Dong Rui: "Of course there are. They are mortal enemies. Since Bai Ziqi has come to the Chaohu, he will never let him go."
He pointed at He Lingchuan, then pointed at the lighthouse barrier in the Haoyuan Golden Mirror: "He and Bai Ziqi, only one can live!"
The two Immortals looked at each other. How much hatred and resentment was this? "How did you offend the Tiangong's Envoy?"
For ordinary people to make the Envoy hold a grudge and hate them, that was simply not enough.
"Nothing much." Dong Rui blew on his fingernails. "Just broke the Tiangong's Xushan Array, burned down the Star-Plucking Tower, and incidentally destroyed half of Lingxu City!"
Lingxu City wasn't destroyed by them, it was Fang Canran. It didn't matter, temporarily scraping some credit, little Fang wouldn't mind.
The two Immortals said in unison: "What?"
They looked at each other, both seeing disbelief in the other's eyes.
What kind of place was Xushan? The earthly residence of the Heavenly Demon!
For the past five or six hundred years, it had been peaceful. Even when the Thousand Illusions Immortal Venerable was on duty at Ling Mountain, he had never caused such serious destruction in Lingxu City and the Tiangong! Precisely because they knew the Tiangong and Heavenly Demon's abilities too well, they knew this matter was too difficult and the influence too far-reaching.
These two people and one monster in front of them, what virtue and ability did they have?
Dong Rui smiled: "Really, every word I say is truer than pearls. If it weren't for such a battle record, why would Ling Mountain invite us to the Chaohu to investigate the truth? The Thousand Illusions Immortal Venerable closing in seclusion in the Chaohu, this matter itself is a top secret. How many people in the current world are qualified to know?"
Wanting to come to the Chaohu to handle errands for Ling Mountain, one had to have a battle record, status, and ability.
The fact that they could come itself explained the problem.
"He also toppled the Beijia National Teacher Qingyang in Lingxu City. That old woman was later demoted to the Yao Kingdom to be the Supervisor."
As soon as the words fell, He Lingchuan gave him a dissatisfied look. There was no need to mention this; it was not credible enough.
Xiao Wencheng and Elder Liu didn't even have surprised expressions this time, just saying nothing.
It was too much, too much, blowing the cow too much, it didn't sound true.
Qingyang had lived for nearly two hundred years; of course they had heard of her. The head of the four Beijia National Teachers, the first-class power deeply rooted in Lingxu City, could be taken down by this kid in his early twenties?
The Immortals just closed in seclusion for a bit too long, their minds hadn't degenerated, so they didn't believe it.
"I joined forces with Bai Ziqi in Lingxu City, and through a case of Heavenly God secret medicine, I pulled the culprit National Teacher Qingyang down from her horse; Bai Ziqi made this great contribution and stood out, vaguely becoming the successor to the Envoy, and only then had the opportunity to be assigned by Miaozhan Heaven to enter the Chaohu." He Lingchuan said solemnly, "I have cooperated with Bai Ziqi and also fought him. Meeting again is also very eye-catching. I have also led troops to fight for several years, so I know his style very well."
Adding details to raise a bit of credibility. But looking at the expressions of Xiao Wencheng and the two: You just blow.
Mother Zhu transmitted to Dong Rui: "When did he lead troops to fight? Blow."
He kid is a genius, it admits. But it has been by He Lingchuan's side for many years, what battles has he fought? Dong Rui: "..."
Mother doesn't understand, humans need to gild their resumes.
"The Tiangong team is so capable of fighting, besides having Heavenly Demons sitting in the field, a large part of the credit goes to Bai Ziqi's overall command." He Lingchuan pointed to the Haoyuan Golden Mirror and said solemnly, "In the current world, if the Heavenly Demon wants to make waves in the human world and harm the Immortals, it still has to rely on the power of humans!" ===== CHAPTER 1750 =====
