Chapter 1794: Mirage Immortal's Little Secret

The Blood Demon crow made its move. This was an air disaster.

Feathers flew all over the sky. The vulture king, despite its size, was actually knocked into the pine forest by the miniature Blood Demon crow.

Red mist immediately drifted out of the forest, and coupled with the dense leaves, the few pairs of eyes outside the sand table couldn't see what was happening in the forest.

Even after being magnified by the Soul-Sucking Mirror, the forest was still a bright red, like a sandstorm scene.

That wolverine didn't know what happened, but hearing the chaos coming from the front, it turned its steps and bypassed the forest to continue running.

The Silver Pearl Fruit couldn't be put into the storage space, otherwise, it wouldn't glow.

Like other demons under the sect, its mission was to transport the Silver Pearl Fruit to the shore of Kidney Lake.

Not long after, the red mist stirred, and a huge figure flew out of the forest.

The Cave Infant King.

It flew into the sky as if nothing had happened, continuing to circle above Silver Pearl City.

And that wolverine was about to run to the lakeside when a boomerang flew out of the forest unexpectedly. It dodged, and just as it was about to perform an escape technique, its hind leg was snared by someone, and with a swoosh, it was pulled into mid-air.

It could dodge the first day but not the fifteenth; it was still caught.

At this time, the Illusion Sect disciples on Stone Dragon Peak had almost all retreated. Dong Rui said to He Lingchuan: "Should we go too?"

If we don't go now, we won't even get a share of the Silver Pearl Fruit.

He Lingchuan nodded and made a "you first" gesture to Mother Zhu.

After abandoning the lighthouse tactic, the Tiangong team marched directly to Stone Dragon Mountain.

The road of just over ten miles was not easy to walk, with broken terrain everywhere. At this time, the power of immortals and demons was revealed: mountains were opened, water was retreated, and even if they encountered a heavenly chasm, they could directly open a land bridge.

Bai Ziqi originally thought the Illusion Sect would change the terrain again to prevent the Tiangong team from moving north.

However, they didn't.

There were only two possibilities for this: one was that the Haoyuan Golden Mirror's power was exhausted and couldn't be activated in a short time; the other was that the Illusion Sect had other arrangements and didn't want to waste the Profound Crystals on large and useless supernatural powers.

Bai Ziqi was more inclined toward the latter.

At this time, Elder Liu of the Illusion Sect led a small team of dozens of people, appearing everywhere near the Tiangong team, and every appearance was bound to harvest many lives.

Like a great white shark accompanying a school of sardines.

Before, when the Tiangong team was guarding the lighthouse, the Illusion Sect's harassment tactic wasn't very effective, but once the Tiangong team started marching on the ground, those thousand-plus people were easily prone to neglecting the rear.

In less than two quarters of an hour, they lost more than a hundred people. The whole army was tense, walking cautiously.

Bai Ziqi's response was to send bird demons to patrol the sky, and several Heavenly Demons also went to the surroundings to wait for opportunities.

When Liu killed people, they went to hunt Liu.

However, Bai Ziqi also knew very clearly that the opponent's goal was not these thousand-plus elite humans at all, so he reminded all Heavenly Demons not to act without authorization; at least in groups of two could they go to pursue the enemy.

The figure of True Lord Cangxi could not be seen in his team, only a gray parrot standing on Bai Ziqi's shoulder.

He knew that Miaozhantian was waiting.

The four great elders of the Illusion Sect died at Banqiu, and the space-time rift shook the Upside-Down Sea. Miaozhantian released a big move and was waiting for Qian Huan's reaction.

If this old Mirage Immortal didn't take action again, something might really have happened.

Once Miaozhantian confirmed it, Stone Dragon Peak would be in trouble.

Bai Ziqi stood on the mountain, watching the team move north, while asking the gray parrot for advice.

The gray parrot told him that the silver shuttle that swallowed the three great elders of the Illusion Sect contained a trace of chaos power. Three thousand years ago, when the Heavenly God left this realm and the Black Dragon struck the Heavenly Net, a trace of origin essence leaked out before the heavenly gap closed, which was then captured and sealed by the joint efforts of Miaozhantian and the Lingxu Holy Venerable for later enlightenment.

Bai Ziqi exclaimed: "No wonder as soon as it was released, even the immortals had no power to fight back."

That was power above immortals and demons.

The gray parrot remained silent. It wouldn't tell Bai Ziqi that this was originally one of the sharp weapons it prepared to deal with Qian Huan, but in order to achieve results, it had to be released in advance.

Eliminating five immortals at the same time was too attractive a target, even Miaozhantian couldn't resist.

Bai Ziqi asked again: "Qian Huan is an ancient True Immortal and has experienced the Immortal-Demon War. Logically speaking, his Dao heart should be extremely stable; why would he lose his way while in seclusion?"

"There are two possibilities." Miaozhantian had clearly pondered this question for a long time. "Either his seclusion and enlightenment this time were too difficult, making him indulge in it and unable to extricate himself. From ancient times to the present, whether immortals or gods, many brilliant talents have tried to merge with the Dao, only to fail. Failure leads to this result."

"But for Qian Huan, who is at the top of a hundred-foot pole, to advance one step further is so difficult. What kind of truth could make him forget himself?" On this point, Miaozhantian also had deep personal experience. "So I am inclined to the second possibility, which is that his serious defect led to an accident during seclusion."

"Defect?" Bai Ziqi was surprised. "Qian Huan?"

One of the helmsmen of Ling Mountain, an ancient great immortal who had survived to this day, actually had a serious defect?

"This is a secret; Ling Mountain probably doesn't know many people: He is a Mirage Demon, but he has no Mirage Pearl." From the gray parrot's tone, Bai Ziqi heard sarcasm. "In the great war three thousand years ago, he was defeated by me and Lady Mitian, and then Lady Mitian snatched his Mirage Pearl, and he escaped with heavy injuries!"

"..." Lady Mitian is worthy of being the God of War; this is too fierce.

"The Mirage Pearl is far more important to a Mirage Demon than a Demon Pill is to a demon. If a Demon Pill is shattered, a demon can work hard for decades to re-condense it; but the Mirage Pearl is innate. Once it's gone, it's gone, and it can never be condensed again."

"Can't it be replaced by something else?"

"That is the Mirage Pearl of a True Immortal, containing thousands of changes and can be called unique. What can replace it?" The gray parrot continued, "You also know that a Demon Pill is also called an 'Anchor Pill' for demons, and all cultivation must revolve around it. Qian Huan lost his Mirage Pearl, so he lost his anchor point. Usually, it's fine; he can find ways to compensate, but if one enlightenment is too deep and he can't help himself, perhaps he won't find his way back."

Bai Ziqi thought about it: "Where is that Mirage Pearl now?"

"No one knows. That was Lady Mitian's trophy; others have no right to ask." The gray parrot flapped its wings. What was Lady Mitian's status in the God Realm back then? Who could dig things out of his hands? "Later, Lady Mitian rebelled against the God Realm; perhaps he also brought this treasure to the human world."

Bai Ziqi understood. No wonder Miaozhantian wanted to suppress all gods and occupy the top spot as soon as he heard there was a chance to loot Qian Huan's cave dwelling; it turned out he had long known about Qian Huan's defect and had made targeted preparations.

The fact that a Mirage Immortal lost his Mirage Pearl was probably not known to many people in the two realms; Miaozhantian saw an opportunity.

He didn't expect his luck to be so good that he discovered after entering the Upside-Down Sea that Qian Huan had likely lost his way and was completely unable to compete with him!

Picking up a True Immortal for free, how could there be such a good thing in the world?
