Chapter 1800: Present World
A few bird demons flew into the sky to find the traces of the Illusion Sect, because the scouts went around and reported back that they didn't find that team.
No personnel were found, and there were no footprints in the woods by the lake.
Kidney Lake is not as big as the Upside-Down Lake, and the Illusion Sect team probably used supernatural powers to erase the traces they left behind to avoid being tracked by the Tiangong.
Bai Ziqi looked at the ring on his finger.
It didn't glow.
In other words, no supernatural powers or disguises were detected nearby.
To be safe, he still had to ask the gray parrot: "May I ask God, is there anything unusual here?"
Is this the real world? It is exactly the same as the illusion realm; was the illusion realm established by simulating this place? A huge golden eye suddenly appeared in the high sky above the camp.
The eyeball turned slowly, scanning the Silver Pearl Island below with rays of golden light.
It checked very slowly and carefully, but Bai Ziqi stared at the Silver Pearl Fruit in his hand.
The light emitted by the fruit was getting weaker and weaker. After it completely extinguished, no one could return to the illusion realm.
The golden eye scanned the whole island back and forth several times, and disappeared after about a quarter of an hour.
"No supernatural powers, no illusions, no Illusion Sect team found, but there are human activities and living creatures."
Humans? Bai Ziqi was startled; are there humans here too?
That's right, since it's the present world, it's not surprising that there are human activities. But Bai Ziqi always felt that something was not quite right.
"The Illusion Sect team is nowhere to be found; could they be hiding in mountain caves or tunnels by taking advantage of the terrain?" There are too many living things on this island, which will definitely interfere with the scanning of the real eye.
However, since Miaozhantian's real eye didn't detect supernatural powers or illusions, this place might indeed be the real world.
Bai Ten took out the sand table and unfolded it. The places the bird demons had scouted, whether mountains, rivers, marshes, city gates, or residential houses, would be concretized on the sand table.
This kind of automatic surveying supernatural power, they had used it once in the illusion realm.
Of course, this kind of surveying couldn't be perfect; the sand table could only simulate what the bird demons saw. The island was covered with dense vegetation, and things covered by trees couldn't be seen by the bird demons, so naturally, they didn't appear on the sand table.
At this time, Miaozhantian would use the real eye to complete the parts that were missed.
At this time, the bird demons happened to fly slowly over the Upside-Down Lake, and the corresponding lakeside scenery was also engraved on the sand table.
This big lake was very quiet, the trees on the shore were lush, but no glowing Silver Pearl Fruit could be found in the depths of the tree shadows.
Then, the rock monument in the lake also appeared on the sand table.
The inscription on it was still eight big characters twisted by barnacles under unknown power.
Are the two worlds inside and outside a one-to-one replica? Under the bright moonlight, every word on the monument was clearly visible in high definition: Upside-Down Heaven and Earth.
One-way trip.
"No, one word is different."
It was thanks to this word that it was easy to distinguish between the two worlds.
Bai Ziqi looked at the Kidney Lake surface ahead again.
The gray parrot asked him: "What's the problem?"
"Nothing," he withdrew his gaze and shook his head. "The sand table drawing is too slow."
From the newly established sand table, there were more than a dozen villages and towns around Kidney Lake, and several cities to the north, the largest of which had an area and population exceeding Silver Pearl City.
Are there more residents in the present world than in the illusion realm? Not long after, the bird demons flew back.
Bai Ziqi knew something was wrong as soon as he saw it:
Of the twenty flying scouts sent out, only seven returned, three of whom were injured, the most serious one having its abdomen pierced by an arrow.
No wonder the sand table was drawn slowly; it turned out there were few eyes and ears.
"We flew over the residential areas of humans and encountered attacks and expulsions from arrows and supernatural powers," one bird demon reported. "There are immortals in the big city, very strong, knocking down two of my brothers at once, and only I escaped."
"Immortals?" Bai Ziqi immediately thought of the confession of the Illusion Sect prisoners. "The immortals of the Illusion Sect who entered Kidney Lake probably didn't die, but are trapped here!"
Wu Shidao said that in the past thirty years, four great immortals of the Illusion Sect disappeared for no reason, and the sect was tight-lipped about it.
If those four immortals were all in the Upside-Down Sea of the present world, the Illusion Sect's strength could still rise by a notch.
No wonder Xiao Wencheng wanted to move the whole sect across the lake to the present world; it turned out he also wanted to gamble on luck.
His heart moved, and he suddenly asked: "Have Jinna God and Chita God crossed the lake?"
Previously, the Tiangong team was busy crossing the lake, and Miaozhantian sent these two gods and the demon Cave Infant to pursue the Illusion Sect elder Xutuo.
Bai Wei immediately passed the order down.
The gray parrot opened its mouth: "They haven't appeared yet; I can't feel their aura!"
Now the light of the Silver Pearl Fruit was about to disappear, and the two gods hadn't come over from the illusion realm; did they encounter any problems? Even if the pursuit of Xutuo went wrong, they should not have had difficulty abandoning the operation and rushing to cross the lake.
Bai Ziqi knew that Jinna God was a from-god on the same level as Feng He, and had a seat in the temple of the Star-Plucking Tower, receiving incense from believers with a golden body.
Not to mention that he also had Chita God beside him; even if the two gods failed the pursuit, they should have had the power to protect themselves.
Conversely, Xutuo joined the Illusion Sect the latest, and it was only several hundred years after the heavenly disaster that he defected to Qian Huan's sect. In terms of cultivation, he was in the low-middle end among the dozen or so immortals of the Illusion Sect, far inferior to Elder Xu, who was executed by Miaozhantian, and Elder Du, who was killed by Feng He's secret calculation.
So Miaozhantian was relieved to send them out to capture the immortal.
Just then, a little golden light flew out of the lake.
As soon as it came out of the water, it threw away the attached Silver Pearl Fruit and flew toward the gray parrot, at a very fast speed.
Bai Ziqi only had time to see that it was a golden cicada before the gray parrot swallowed it in one gulp.
"This is the eyes and ears I just sent out." After all, it had crossed the boundary, and Miaozhantian couldn't perceive what happened in the illusion realm, so he had to send an eye and ear to the illusion realm. "Its summoning didn't get a response from Jinna and Chita!"
As soon as the golden cicada returned to the illusion realm, it made an extremely loud cicada sound, and the sound almost spread throughout Silver Pearl Island. If the two gods heard it, even if they didn't rush over immediately, they would definitely have some response.
However, there was none.
The golden cicada chirped for a while without getting a response, so it had to rush to cross the boundary back to report to Miaozhantian before the Silver Pearl Fruit dimmed.
In other words, the two gods really had an accident, and Bai Ziqi's heart sank.
Within the illusion realm, what power could eat them? It wouldn't be that Qian Huan had woken up, right? And calculating this way, their own immortal and demon power was greatly reduced; did they still have an overwhelming advantage over the Illusion Sect? Miaozhantian made a prompt decision and ordered: "Continue to advance."
They had already returned to the real world; no matter what happened in the illusion realm, they couldn't look back.
At this time, there was some movement on the opposite shore of Kidney Lake:
A man dressed as a villager emerged from the dense woods. ===== CHAPTER 1801 =====
