Chapter 1767: The Secret of Kidney Lake

The gray parrot flapped its wings: "Do you think the one related to Qian Huan is not the Upside-Down Lake, but this Kidney Lake?" "We searched the bottom of the Upside-Down Lake and even brought the Silver Pearl Fruit down, but found nothing." Bai Ziqi continued to push down, "Could it be because we looked in the wrong place?"

"The villagers nearby always fish and dive in the Kidney Lake, and apart from it glowing on moonlit nights, no other strange things have been found. So we must use special methods to have a harvest underwater." Bai Ziqi looked at the stars by the Upside-Down Lake, "Catch a few giant isopods, and pick some Silver Pearl Fruit from the shore of the Upside-Down Lake, and throw them into the Kidney Lake as soon as possible!"

He is the commander, and his meaning of "as soon as possible" is that not a single breath can be delayed.

Bai Seventeen answered "Yes" in awe and flew to pass the order.

Soon, three giant isopods were holding freshly picked Silver Pearl Fruit, and under the transport of the demon birds, they crossed a distance of more than ten li and fell directly into the Kidney Lake! As before, their shells flipped, their small legs paddled, and they were about to dive into the depths of the lake bottom.

The bird demon flying in mid-air could still see their figures drilling into the glowing water weeds, just like drilling into a primeval forest.

Then, there was no then.

The sorcerer standing beside Bai Ziqi suddenly opened his eyes and reported to him: "Commandant, my connection with the giant isopods has been cut off, I cannot feel them."

"Dead?"

"Possibly, but they were cut off almost at the same time."

If there is movement, it's good, if it's not peaceful, it's good! Bai Ziqi could hardly hide the excitement in his heart: "Release five more."

Five more giant isopods were requisitioned to the Kidney Lake, holding Silver Pearl Fruit to dive into the water.

After a few breaths, they were all wiped out.

The bird demon hovering over the Kidney Lake, trying hard to collect intelligence, flew back and reported that it saw the giant isopods diving into the water one after another, and that place suddenly lit up, and neither the giant isopods nor the Silver Pearl Fruit could be seen.

Bai Ziqi stood up immediately: "Send one or two small demons, take the Silver Pearl Fruit and go over, quick!"

The giant isopods were just puppets after all, and they couldn't act if they didn't receive the master's order. Bai Ziqi needed to know exactly what happened underwater! This task was soon assigned to a color-changing water lizard.

This thing is an amphibious demon, with a zoom talent, shrinking like a gecko, and becoming like a saltwater crocodile when it gets big. Bai Ziqi brought it from the Shining Gold Plain, considering the complex terrain and water body of the Upside-Down Sea, and it happened to be useful at this time.

Bai Ziqi's order to it was: if you encounter any abnormality after entering the water, don't delay, don't act on your own, and return to report immediately!

"Such a secret was exposed to the commoners of Silver Pearl Island, yet over the past many years, they have been unable to investigate." Bai Ten said to Bai Seventeen on the side, "Our Commandant discovered the clues as soon as he arrived."

Bai Ziqi glanced at him: "The Silver Pearl Fruit and the Kidney Lake are not far, only thirteen li away, but the fruit can only glow for a quarter of an hour. Mortals cannot finish thirteen li in a quarter of an hour, and they would not think of throwing the glowing Silver Pearl Fruit into the Kidney Lake. This design was originally to prevent irrelevant outsiders from discovering the secret of the Kidney Lake by mistake!"

Even if there were such people, they were a minority. If it's a minority, it doesn't matter. The Silver Pearl Islands are so big, how many people go missing every year? Bai Ziqi waited for the small demon's echo, having not been this anxious for a long time.

I don't know how long it took, the bird demon's figure appeared in everyone's field of vision again, and it was even grabbing the color-changing water lizard with its claws!

Plop, the water lizard fell onto Bai Ziqi's table, bowing to him.

Bai Ziqi waved his hand to urge: "Speak, what did you encounter at the bottom of the lake?"

He had a premonition that this was an extraordinary discovery.

"Entered the water, it lit up in front of my eyes, and I came out of the water again." The water lizard's words were simple and unadorned, "I swam to the shore, there were no Yakshas, no you, and no barrier."

Bai Ziqi frowned: "Swam to the shore?"

"Everything I saw after coming out of the water hadn't changed, I thought I swam to the wrong place, and swam back to the water surface. There was a moon, there were trees, and the shoreline was exactly the same, just no one." The water lizard continued, "I didn't dare to walk forward, held the Silver Pearl Fruit and dived into the water again, and then I came back here."

Exactly the same as here? It sounds like—

"The entrance, finally found the entrance!" The gray parrot's voice was three degrees higher; Bai Ziqi had never seen a True God so excited, "The place it just went to is the real world, the real Upside-Down Sea!"

This inconspicuous lake is the dividing line between virtual and real, the entrance from the illusion world to reality! "There is no absolute array in the world, and the illusion world is the same, this is the principle of heaven. No matter how powerful Qian Huan is, the illusion world he constitutes using mirage techniques will at least have an entrance and exit to reality, that is, the gate of life!" This is the most basic law, and even a True Immortal cannot violate it, "All he can do is carefully cover up this entrance, or let it rotate periodically."

"Or both." Bai Ziqi's eyes flickered, "That's why Qian Huan used the Upside-Down Lake as a smoke screen, and let the passing Silver Pearl Fruit grow by the Upside-Down Lake, glowing only one night a month, which avoids living people accidentally entering it?"

Qian Huan should be very clear that the thing the world lacks least is accidents. Even Immortals can only try to reduce the probability of accidents.

He covered up the entrance so secretly, but under certain conditions, people might still enter.

So he added a few conditions for passing.

"In the real world, Qian Huan cannot make waves so easily." Miaozhantian said, "Otherwise, he wouldn't need to hide himself."

After the storm wall disappeared, the Tiangong team sailed into this sea area, actually entering the illusion carefully crafted by Qian Huan.

From the beginning, the Illusion Sect could exchange for the response of the illusion world at an extremely small cost, using great divine abilities to severely damage the Tiangong fleet. Until now, they still had to rely on Miaozhantian's lighthouse barrier, otherwise, these thousands of people in the Tiangong would have been ground away long ago.

Wanting to deal with him in Qian Huan's illusion world is like rowing a boat against a waterfall; it's not just a matter of paying three or five times the effort. The Tiangong team seems to be not at a disadvantage, but in fact, they have been exceptionally exhausted after insisting until now for less than two hours, and there have been many casualties—

Bai Ziqi brought more than three thousand people, and now there are less than seventeen hundred left, and this is still under the situation where he fully commanded the army and tried his best to divide the enemy's camp.

This level of difficulty in the campaign made even him feel exceptionally strenuous.

If they rushed into the real world, Qian Huan would definitely not be so difficult to deal with.

But Bai Ziqi still had worries: "The Illusion Sect Immortals must also know this entrance, but they have never been able to invite Qian Huan out from beginning to end, so the other side must also be extremely dangerous. I will send a few more people to explore the way and collect some intelligence."

However, this time the people sent didn't come back. Bai Ziqi calculated the time, and they had been in the water for more than a quarter of an hour.

This was also within his estimation: "It seems that once the light of the Silver Pearl Fruit is exhausted, they won't be able to come back."

He called the water lizard again to ask a few questions, and the other party said that the lake shore on that side did not have glowing spots, just ordinary woods under the moon.

"There are no glowing Silver Pearl Fruit on that side." A Silver Pearl Fruit was picked and then sent to the Kidney Lake, and it would take time on the road, and then throw it into the lake—

Bai Seventeen said on the side: "That is to say, this trip is basically a one-way trip."

To go to that world, one has to go ashore, one has to explore, right? A quarter of an hour is definitely not enough.

Bai Seven listened on the side and said in a low voice: "Can the army get over? They have to rush to the Kidney Lake within a quarter of an hour."

A quarter of an hour to sprint thirteen li. The bird demon can go, and the strong people who can fly can go, but the Tiangong army has no horses and can only walk, even with the blessing of large-scale swift-moving divine abilities, time is very tight, not to mention the Illusion Sect will definitely try to obstruct them.

Bai Seventeen blurted out: "Holding a single Silver Pearl Fruit, it's definitely too late. What if we cut down the tree and take it away?"

Bai Ziqi nodded at him, with some relief in his eyes: "Good idea, go try it."

Afterwards, he said to the gray parrot: "Qian Huan's methods are unpredictable, will this small lake be another trap of his? If the other side of the Kidney Lake is Qian Huan's hiding place, why would the Illusion Sect lead us to the Kidney Lake?"

The gray parrot gave a low laugh: "Even if this is an illusion, they can't stop you at sea forever with their power alone. You will eventually land with the fleet, so it's better to choose a landing point most favorable to them. Half of the casualties in your team were at the hands of the Yakshas in the Upside-Down Lake."

These monsters are endless, and there are often leader-level Yakshas landing. The Tiangong team fighting them with flesh and blood is obviously not cost-effective.

"Besides, you don't understand the Illusion Sect's Sect Master Xiao Wencheng. He has his own calculations, and he is the kind of person who can do this kind of thing."

Bai Ziqi was surprised: "You mean, he deliberately...?"

As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle, but for an ancient Immortal, he really doesn't understand—and has no conditions to understand, as the other party always hides in the cave and doesn't come out.

"In ancient times, Xiao Wencheng sacrificed his senior and junior brothers, but that was to assist Qian Huan in killing the True God, so Qian Huan didn't blame him, and instead rewarded him afterward." Miaozhantian said lightly, "Perhaps Xiao Wencheng has already calculated that if the Illusion Sect really can't deal with you, they will borrow your power to wake up Qian Huan! If you couldn't deduce the way to cross the lake yourself, maybe he would even find a way to let you know."

But the Illusion Sect didn't expect that the Tiangong had the lighthouse barrier move, which forcibly covered the wounds caused by the two armies to the small cave heaven with a white cloth, covering it tightly.

Bai Ziqi pondered: "If we can obtain sufficient Profound Crystal replenishment, my subordinate still suggests steady and solid progress, first eliminating the Illusion Sect, and then going to the Kidney Lake to reveal Qian Huan's bottom line!"

This battle has reached a critical moment. Eliminating the Illusion Sect is eliminating Qian Huan's wings. Once he is alone, the Tiangong and Miaozhantian will be better able to deal with him.

But this has a prerequisite, as Bai Ziqi said, "sufficient Profound Crystals".

This depends on whether Goddess Feng He and Wu Shidao can get enough Profound Crystals!

Competing for Profound Crystals is competing for the initiative in this war. ===== CHAPTER 1768 =====
