Chapter 1824

"According to the rules of the lower world, we living people have no Silver Pearl Fruit and cannot return to the upper world from Waist Lake, so I'm afraid that channel at Waist Lake cannot be opened in reverse." Bai Ziqi manually excluded one option for the time being, "Then only the Inverted Lake remains." "According to the current clues, the ghost people of the lower world will also turn into Yakshas and go to the upper world. They are dead souls to begin with; wearing human skin makes them look like humans, and changing into Yaksha shells makes them Yakshas." He pondered, "But what conditions must be met in the middle?"

In other words, what kind of ghost people can continue to live in the lower world, and what kind of ghost people will be driven across the lake to become Yakshas?

"Speaking of this, my Eye of Truth just swept across the Inverted Lake and saw some strange phenomena."

As soon as Miao Zhantian finished speaking, the giant Eye of Truth on the zenith retracted into a beam of light, suddenly turned direction, and shone directly from the high sky toward the Inverted Lake.

Bai Ziqi immediately lowered his head to look at the sand table.

Illuminated by the blue light, the deep bottom of the Inverted Lake also gradually became transparent. Although it was impossible to replicate it in detail due to the size of the sand table, it was still no problem for everyone to see the general picture.

Now he also understood that Thousand Illusions' divine power was trying every possible way to "simulate truth," while Miao Zhantian was trying every possible way to simulate it, simulate the rules of this world, and simulate Thousand Illusions' divine power.

Whether it is the upper world or the lower world, since Thousand Illusions is the creator, then Miao Zhantian can see more clearly by analyzing from Thousand Illusions' perspective and Thousand Illusions' divine power.

The battle between this pair of enemies is truly full of variables at every moment.

The White Guards all let out a neat 'eh', because the blue light illuminated things that human eyes couldn't see—

At the bottom of the Inverted Lake, countless swaying shadows had actually gathered!

They were small in size, but large in number. The bottom of the Inverted Lake was so vast, yet they occupied thirty percent of it, constantly shuttling and swimming.

They were like headless flies, and also like dense tadpoles in a summer pond, wanting to drill into any hole they saw.

Bai Seventeen exclaimed: "This, this is dead souls?"

"It's a portion of the ghost people who 'died' in the divine fire meteorites just now, perhaps the strongest batch, only then could they drive the water shells of the Yakshas. So the lower world collected them again and gathered them at the bottom of the lake." Miao Zhantian said to Bai Ziqi, "It seems your deduction just now was correct. To go from the Inverted Lake to the upper world, there are at least two conditions: one is the soul body, and the other is the removal of the water shell on the outside."

During the passage, the Inverted Lake will generate water shells and wrap them inside. In this way, as soon as they land on the Inverted Lake in the upper world, they are in the image of Yakshas.

Bai Seventeen asked weakly: "Di, Divine Venerable, may I ask, why can't they pass, and all gathered at the bottom of the lake?"

"The channel is not open." Bai Ziqi answered on his behalf, "Even if the passage conditions are met, the dead souls must wait for the channel to open before they can pass. According to past intelligence, how big the channel opens and how many Yakshas are released are all controlled by Thousand Illusions."

If there are too many living people in the upper world, the Inverted Lake will produce more Yakshas; if the number of living people in the upper world is moderate or small, the Inverted Lake will produce fewer or no Yakshas.

"So, the control of this channel is in the hands of Thousand Illusions." Miao Zhantian said, "What we need to do is to seize the control!"

It said firmly: "As long as the channel is opened, I will have the opportunity to directly attack Thousand Illusions' true body or divine sense!"

Bai Ziqi asked for instructions: "Are you planning to?"

Miao Zhantian said: "Very simple, use the Divine Fire Array to prioritize seizing the Inverted Lake area from Thousand Illusions!"

It was so difficult. After entering for more than a dozen hours, it was finally about to find Thousand Illusions' true body! Everyone looked at each other and bowed together: "Respectfully listening to the Divine Venerable's holy decree!"

Bai Ziqi pondered slightly, but said: "Divine Venerable, the situation ahead is becoming increasingly dangerous and unpredictable; we had best make two preparations."

"Oh?" Miao Zhantian followed advice, "What ideas do you have?"

This subordinate of the Lingxu Holy Venerable truly has a good brain.

Bai Ziqi turned back and looked at the lotus lamp in True Monarch Cangxi's hands: "The Holy Venerable lent this precious body to you. Inside the lotus lamp, there is also a divine art left by the Jinna God, which was sealed by the Shimei God using the Palm Leaf Art."

The Shimei God can seal the divine arts of other gods into a palm leaf, and it becomes a lotus seed when stored in this lotus lamp.

"Hmm, it was left over from when the Lingxu Holy Venerable asked the Jinna God to do experiments." When Miao Zhantian borrowed True Monarch Cangxi's body, this divine art was already in the lotus lamp, and it didn't take it to heart, because, "It's just a minor art; it's ineffective against people or magic treasures. What ideas do you have?"

Bai Ziqi took out a box from his bosom, opened a small slit, and showed it to the gray parrot on his shoulder.

The gray parrot stretched its neck, took a look, and laughed: "Good, good! This plan is excellent!"

It understood.

How does that old human saying go, about putting eggs in different baskets?...

The Eye of Truth suddenly turned and shone from the zenith toward the Inverted Lake. He Lingchuan in the mine also ordered the Haoyuan Gold Mirror to zoom in on the details of the Inverted Lake at the first opportunity.

Seeing countless ghost shadows swaying at the bottom of the lake through the blue light, everyone took a light breath.

Wan Qiliang asked in surprise: "What are these things?"

As soon as the words fell, a dozen shadows floated near the water surface. This picture was immediately captured by the Haoyuan Gold Mirror and then zoomed in.

He Lingchuan hooked his finger, and the picture paused.

Some of these shadows had heads, faces, and limbs, while others were very blurry, like crude handmade clay figures, with facial features almost indistinguishable.

"They are ghost souls." Zhu Xiuer affirmed at a glance, "Some died not long ago, and some are about to dissipate."

Everyone easily associated this with the divine fire meteorites Miao Zhantian had released earlier.

Dong Rui asked curiously: "Aren't they dead souls from another world? Even if they were killed again by the divine fire, why are they crowding at the bottom of the Inverted Lake?"

At this time, Xiao Wencheng's voice suddenly came through the mirror.

He Lingchuan took two steps back, and Xiao Wencheng crossed the mirror and appeared in front of everyone, his face solemn: "We have big trouble."

With the battle reaching this point, what other big trouble could there be?

Xiao Wencheng turned around and pointed to the Inverted Lake in the Haoyuan Gold Mirror: "Miao Zhantian focusing on the Inverted Lake is because it discovered the Immortal Venerable's methods. The Immortal Venerable judged that it would take action here next, so it ordered us to attack at full speed!"

Without He Lingchuan speaking, Dong Rui asked first: "What methods?"

This matter couldn't be hidden either, so Xiao Wencheng became frank instead: "The Inverted Lake is the channel connecting the two worlds. Miao Zhantian using the Eye of Truth at this time is to take action from here, destroy the laws of the Inverted Sea, and harm the Immortal Venerable!"

"The channel connecting the two worlds?" Dong Rui asked curiously, "Why isn't it Waist Lake?"

Xiao Wencheng was a bit embarrassed, but still said: "Waist Lake has entry but no return; they can't walk through it."
