Chapter 1799: God-like and Ghost-like Ability

Looking at the pedestrian density on the street and the facilities and houses in the city, He Lingchuan reasonably inferred that the number of residents should exceed two hundred thousand—this is a basic skill for a businessman. Looking at it this way, the number of residents in the present world is more than six or seven times that of the illusion realm.

The Illusion Sect disciples' expressions turned from initial tension, later surprise, to current confusion. They couldn't imagine or understand that under their feet, or rather at the bottom of Kidney Lake, there was such a vast world, and there were civilians living and working in peace and contentment on exactly the same map.

For this situation, He Lingchuan held a copper coin between his index and middle fingers and shook it in front of Dong Rui: "Just like the front and back of this copper coin."

The Illusion Sect disciples originally lived on one side, and the people in the present world lived on the other side, and the two sides did not intersect or interfere with each other—

Until the Tiangong invasion broke this balance.

"The boundary between the front and back of this copper coin is the copper coin itself," He Lingchuan then asked Dong Rui, "Then where is the boundary between the real and illusion realms?"

Dong Rui first ruled out an obvious answer: "Since you ask this, it's definitely not Kidney Lake, right?"

At this time, some disciples couldn't help but ask Elder Liu: "Sect Master Uncle, does this world also, also have a sect?"

If there is, what are they who came out of the illusion realm? Elder Liu's answer was very appropriate in He Lingchuan's ears: "This world also has your Patriarch!"

Yes, these two worlds existing in the Upside-Down Sea both worship True Person Qian Huan.

Dong Rui muttered: "So, is the boundary of these two worlds True Person Qian Huan?"

He Lingchuan's eyes flashed, and he glanced at him quickly.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener does.

Perhaps it rained a few days ago, and there were many puddles in the fields. The team passed by a pond, and someone looked down inadvertently and said: "Reflections, look at the reflections!"

The crowd also went to look at the reflections in the water, only to see that the people were still those people, their faces hadn't changed, but their clothing had changed. Originally they were wearing wide robes and big sleeves, but in the reflection, they became light armor and tight clothes.

Everyone looked at each other, seeing that their companions were still wearing sect robes, and looking into the water again, they were armored guards.

"No wonder the farmer asked us earlier if we were the guard of Rilun City," Wan Shifeng realized. "It turns out that in their eyes, we are this image."

Mother Zhu suddenly said: "In ancient times, we called the sun 'Rilun' and the moon 'Huideng'."

So there was that mantra, Huideng shines on the illusion sea?

Then "Rilun" corresponds to the present world? He Lingchuan looked up at the sky, seeing the sun shining brightly and the sky cloudless.

Elder Liu explained: "We suddenly entered the present world, and the Immortal Venerable must arrange a suitable identity."

The Illusion Sect disciples listened and remained silent.

It was the same island, the same terrain, the same mountains and forests, but it was no longer their hometown.

Clearly every grass and tree was so familiar, but they were sneaking in here, and even had to forge identities.

Of course, He Lingchuan and the others didn't have this feeling; they were pure outsiders.

Ahead was an open threshing floor, with several rows of racks on the edge of the field, usually used for drying sieves, bamboo strips, and other farm tools, but now there were several large baskets. The baskets were not filled with grain, but a pile of masks.

These masks were made of wood or bamboo, painted on the surface, red, orange, yellow, blue, black, white, all colors, the only common point was that they were fierce and ugly, with hideous faces.

Either ghost faces or evil beasts, either with horns or fangs, either smiling or angry, looking like Nuo opera masks.

Elder Liu walked over, picked up a mask, and put it on his face: "Come over and pick one to wear. This mask can confuse our tracks and let the pursuers not find our whereabouts."

Just from this one action, He Lingchuan basically concluded that he kept in touch with Qian Huan, otherwise how would he know these masks were prepared for everyone?

An interesting thing happened: after the mask was put on, it only existed for more than ten breaths, and then disappeared.

What the crowd saw was still Elder Liu's original kind face.

However, Elder Liu casually summoned a water mirror and stood in front of it.

What was reflected in the mirror was not a human, but a green-faced, fanged evil ghost, also wearing guard armor.

Wan Shifeng looked and realized: "In the eyes of the people of this realm, we have automatically disguised ourselves; now wearing masks, we also have disguises in the eyes of the pursuers."

Elder Liu nodded: "That's the logic."

Dong Rui had always been full of thirst for knowledge: "Why are they ghost masks? Won't we be more conspicuous if we pretend to be so many evil ghosts and run on the road?"

Elder Liu sold a pass: "In a while, you will understand."

So, He Lingchuan and the others and the Illusion Sect disciples all went to pick masks to wear, even the Ghost Ape and Ling Guang picked two masks to wear.

Similarly, the masks disappeared as soon as they were put on, and everyone looked at each other as their original selves, but in the mirror, they were displayed as ghost objects.

This showed that their external image had actually changed.

Elder Liu said: "From now on, in the eyes of outsiders who are not welcome in this realm, we are all evil ghost images. Let's go."

The crowd followed the mountain road and continued to walk north.

He Lingchuan had another focus: "Where are the elders who entered Kidney Lake and were trapped in the present world before?"

Those were also the four great combat powers under Qian Huan, now especially precious.

Elder Liu only said: "They couldn't go back after crossing the lake before and have been living in Rilun City, and will reunite with us soon."

That is to say, they are all still alive. For the current Illusion Sect, those are four powerful reinforcements! "Then, what about the envoy sent by Ling Mountain before?"

"This, I don't know." Elder Liu gave a "but," "They didn't have a suitable identity when they came in, I'm afraid..."

Understood, I'm afraid they will encounter unknown risks here.

Dong Rui coughed: "Since we have come to the present world, can we leave the Upside-Down Sea?"

Originally they were trapped in the illusion and couldn't get out; now Qian Huan had woken up, and everyone had returned to the real world. Logically speaking, the road to the outside world should be unobstructed.

"Of course." Elder Liu nodded, whispering to He Lingchuan, "However, Miaozhantian will cross the lake soon. It is too dangerous to go to sea at this time; if you are not careful, you will be overturned, so it is better to avoid disaster on the shore."

He meant that everyone should take shelter under Qian Huan's wings, and the hope of survival would be greater.

"When this matter is over, everyone can naturally leave."

Earlier in the illusion realm, the Illusion Sect elders fought with the Tiangong through the Haoyuan Golden Mirror, overturning two or three of their ships in a snap. Thinking about it this way, it seemed that the sea was more dangerous.

Dong Rui and the others looked at He Lingchuan, who only stretched out his index and middle fingers and shook them lightly in front of his heart. This meant:

Wait and see.

Dong Rui's question was just a probe. But He Lingchuan knew with his knees that True Person Qian Huan would never let him leave so readily.

At this time, Dong Rui made a few gestures to He Lingchuan, asking why True Person Qian Huan wanted to lure the Tiangong army into Kidney Lake.

He Lingchuan smiled: "You should have asked this question long ago."

Mother Zhu's voice transmission sounded in their ears: "Does this still need to be asked? There is only one reason: Qian Huan believes that he has an advantage fighting here!"

If it were him, he would also choose a location most favorable to himself before starting a battle.

Mother Zhu asked He Lingchuan again: "Do you think the Illusion Sect immortals knew in advance that there was another real Silver Pearl Island at the bottom of Kidney Lake?"

"Xiao Wencheng might know a thing or two, other immortals—" He Lingchuan shook his head. "The most terrifying thing is that the mortals and immortals there don't know when they went to the illusion realm and stayed in the illusion realm."

Just this point shows that Qian Huan has god-like and ghost-like ability.

Above immortals, it is indeed another level of power.

But then again, if the great immortals who have followed Qian Huan for more than two thousand years are ignorant, does it mean that Qian Huan might not have mastered or revealed this power before?

Whether it was Sect Master Xiao or Elder Liu, their conversations with He Lingchuan revealed one meaning: although True Person Qian Huan had been in seclusion for more than 150 years, as the old saying goes, there are no days or months in the mountains, and the time in the cave dwelling was mostly unchanged. The real changes in the Upside-Down Sea actually started sixty years ago.

What happened sixty years ago? As far as He Lingchuan knew, True Person Qian Huan sent a clone to take back the Great Expansion Heavenly Bead from the Yao Nation, and from that time on, he began a long seclusion until today.

Could Qian Huan's ability to create so many tricks in the Upside-Down Sea be related to the Great Expansion Heavenly Bead he refined?

"If even Sect Master Xiao and Elder Liu can't figure out the inside story—" He Lingchuan pondered, "It seems that Miaozhantian's assessment of this old opponent's current strength might have deviations."

Miaozhantian should know nothing about Qian Huan's progress after getting the Great Expansion Heavenly Bead.

For a contest at this level, such information deviation is very terrifying.

"Perhaps, this is also a major reliance of True Person Qian Huan's carefully laid out layout."

At this time, a disciple asked Elder Liu: "Sect Master Uncle, where are we going now?"

Elder Liu said solemnly: "Go find the Immortal Venerable."

At the same time, stay away from Kidney Lake.

The Tiangong army also crossed Kidney Lake.

Being in the lake water, with no force to rely on up, down, left, or right, is the easiest time to be attacked. So Bai Ziqi first sent bird demons and experts to patrol the shore and escort the main force.

However, facts proved that his worry was a bit redundant; the entire process of the Tiangong team crossing the lake was very smooth, almost without any sniping.

There was no one in the sky or on the shore, except for the wind blowing and trees shaking, everything was quiet.

Although the sun was shining, it was still damp by the lake, and white mist drifted in the woods, adding a bit of agility to the lake view.

But the crowd had no intention of enjoying the scenery; the thicker the mist, the worse the vision.

The gray parrot also surfaced, standing on Bai Ziqi's shoulder and shaking off the water droplets on its feathers: "The defeated are not worth talking about bravery."

Before entering the lake, the Illusion Sect's retreat was a bit unsightly, and they easily caught more than a hundred people and killed them all. ===== CHAPTER 1800 =====
