Chapter 1822

Then, the eave bell was bathed in the light emitted by the lotus lamp. To people, this light was very gentle, and it was fine to stare at it for as long as one liked;

But after the brass-colored eave bell was illuminated by it for a while, it actually began to rotate and gradually became transparent from the inside out.

The charms and seal scripts hidden inside the bell body had nowhere to hide; they were actually flung out from the eave bell, suspended in mid-air, and were clearly seen by the gray parrot and Bai Ziqi.

This is a hidden usage of the Eye of Truth: the power of tracing the source.

Within the scope of its own abilities, Miao Zhantian can deeply analyze the target object and explore its initial appearance. If He Lingchuan were here, he might discover that the Great Fang Hu dealt with the resentment-filled Luo Sheng Armor back then in the same way, using the great divine power of returning to the truth and tracing the origin to separate the treasure armor itself from the resentful spirits attached to it.

Thousand Illusions also has similar divine powers.

Although the principles are different, the Great Dao is profound, and different paths lead to the same destination.

During the rotation of the eave bell, it seemed that things were constantly being flung out, and at the same time, its own shape was changing rapidly. Finally, it slowed down, and the object presented was far beyond Bai Ziqi's expectations:

This was actually a pearl.

The size of a chicken egg, perfectly round and natural, it flashed with iridescent light when shone upon by the sun.

Among them, soft blue light was dominant.

Just looking at its quality, such a night-luminescent pearl could be sold for a sky-high price if taken to Beijia.

Everyone was astonished: "This eave bell is actually made of a pearl?"

The pearl was also illuminated to transparency by the light of the lotus lamp, but it did not deform further. Clearly, it was the initial form of the eave bell, or what is called the matrix.

The eave bell, as Thousand Illusions' token, was refined and processed from this pearl, and the method was simple, which is why it could be restored like this.

"The acolyte said the two eave bells were much the same. Perhaps they were both made of pearls." Bai Ziqi pondered, "Demon immortals like True Person Thousand Illusions all like to use things close at hand to refine artifacts; if it's not wood or stone from their habitat, it's their own claws, teeth, or armor skin."

But this pearl was not a claw or tooth.

"A pearl?" The gray parrot murmured and became dumbfounded, not even blinking its eyes. Bai Ziqi knew this was Miao Zhantian pondering a problem, not even caring about the gray parrot.

A few dozen breaths later, a divine power blasted over from afar, causing the floating boat to suddenly jolt. Miao Zhantian seemed to come back to its senses:

"Fulcrum? Frame?"

It said these two words, each with a higher pitch than the last.

True Person Cangxi, who was meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly switched a hand seal, and the lotus lamp in front of him shone brightly. That blue pearl turned into dust silently and flew into the hole of the lotus lamp.

Afterward, blue light flashed in the high sky, and everyone looked up together.

Originally, this daytime was sunny, but after Miao Zhantian smashed down seventeen divine fire meteorites, and Thousand Illusions led seawater to pour back onto the land, the result of the chaotic battle between the two sides was that water vapor steamed up to half the sky, turning into thick clouds that pressed heavily over Silver Pearl Island, looking as if they were about to turn into a torrential downpour.

But the clouds and mist suddenly cleared above the Heavenly Palace's team, and a huge Eye of Truth slowly emerged from the void.

Different from before, this eye was actually blue.

The light it emitted was also light blue, just such a concentrated and bright beam, shining far into the distance.

Along the way, any clouds and mist illuminated by this light would automatically disperse.

The Eye of Truth only swept twice, and it swept away the sky in the west, shining directly into the firmament. The surrounding clouds and mist could no longer interfere with it.

The strange sight in the sky made the pursuers on the ground subconsciously slow their pace: the sky illuminated by the Eye of Truth suddenly appeared with double images.

The blue beam of light shot up, as if piercing through something, and the firmament was no longer out of reach.

Another dozen breaths passed, and the firmament actually became blurred, as if the curtain had been dampened, revealing the background board at the bottom.

"This is called 'Seeing Truth through Illusion'!" The gray parrot laughed loudly, "No wonder, no wonder I could never find Thousand Illusions' true body in this world, no wonder Thousand Illusions refused to show its face no matter what, hehe, hahahaha!"

Its smile vanished, and it said sternly: "So that's how it is!"

It finally caught the flaw Thousand Illusions had inadvertently revealed; it wasn't easy!

Deep in the mine, in front of the Haoyuan Gold Mirror.

He Lingchuan and the others were also watching the external live broadcast. Miao Zhantian's new divine power had a huge commotion as always, and they naturally wouldn't miss it.

The blue beam of light hit the edge of the sky, actually producing a perspective effect, allowing everyone on the ground to see that there was another scene "behind the sky"! Dong Rui frowned: "Wait, is that a wall? A high wall reaching the sky?"

Behind the sky, it seemed to be an exceptionally smooth wall, transitioning from sky blue to purple-red, the color more magnificent than the sunset glow.

How should one describe the shape of this wall? It looked like super-giant ladyfinger biscuits arranged closely together, and also like countless giant pillars stuck together, leaving no gaps in between.

But the high wall itself had folds, and the top looked like a rugged plateau.

He Lingchuan watched intently, not saying a word.

Zhu Xiuer said: "The light shot out by the Eye of Truth this time is blue, which is vastly different from before. Hmm, could it be that it simulated Thousand Illusions' divine power, and only then could it bypass the maze set by Thousand Illusions?"

"Hey, that's called the 'Eye of Truth', can it also play with illusions?" Dong Rui felt this was too forced.

"This is called 'Simulating Illusion to Return to Truth'. As long as the final result can pierce the truth, the means are not important." Zhu Xiuer was also thinking, "But Miao Zhantian suddenly used this move, it must have had some prior realization, otherwise it couldn't have made this verification."

Miao Zhantian must have realized some laws, otherwise the Eye of Truth couldn't have made such adjustments.

The Ghost Ape squeaked twice.

Dong Rui translated for it: "No wonder we couldn't get out; it turns out we were trapped in a high wall all along."

He Lingchuan suddenly said: "That's not a wall."

Before Dong Rui could ask "What is it?", the blue beam of the Eye of Truth turned and shone at a sixty-degree angle upward.

That was still the sky, but behind the perspective-viewed sky, it wasn't a high wall of giant pillars, but wavy protrusions, and more obvious, layered folds.

"What do you think this shape looks like?" He Lingchuan didn't look back, "In the Yangshan Archipelago, you and Mother Zhu like eating this kind of thing raw the most."

This hint was already in place, and Dong Rui blurted out: "Clams?!"

Both Cave Spider Queens liked delicious clams very much, and after Dong Rui stayed on Pan Si Island for a long time, he also developed the habit of prying them open at will.

From the rock crevice to his mouth, it was just the time of a suck; it was so delicious!

Wait, wait a minute, for the past day and a half, they had been trapped inside a giant clam?! "True Person Thousand Illusions and this clam are..." Dong Rui was so surprised he stuttered, "Don't tell me True Person Thousand Illusions' true body is a clam!"

He really couldn't connect a dignified True Immortal with the food he often ate.
