Chapter 1825

Xiao Wencheng continued: "The immortals and demons of the Tiangong have withdrawn from other meteorite craters and are defending these seven array positions with all their might; Bai Ziqi's army has also turned around and is rushing to the Inverted Lake. At present, the Immortal Venerable needs every bit of help from everyone."

There is no doubt that the battlefield where immortals and demons are present must be exceptionally dangerous, just like the Battle of the Lighthouse in the other world.

He Lingchuan's gaze shifted slightly.

Seeing his hesitation, Xiao Wencheng immediately said: "In the Illusion Sect's time of crisis, Island Master He offered timely help. The Immortal Venerable is grateful and is willing to bestow a personal treasure, and swears that after this battle is won, our sect will escort Island Master He to leave the Inverted Sea safely. The Immortal Venerable will also nominate Island Master He as a Lingshan Venerable, ranked in the Green Seat!"

He Lingchuan was slightly moved.

He had also heard Fang Canran mention that the status of a Lingshan Venerable is revered; if you don't count the few True Immortals at the very top, it is second only to the elders, and there are only twenty-four in the entire Lingshan. A few years ago, on the night he caused a scene in the Tiangong, the immortal who went on a killing spree in Lingshan City was one of the Venerables.

In Xiao Wencheng's view, Lingshan has many industries, complex personnel, and controls many forces, with great influence in the world. If He Lingchuan could become a Lingshan Venerable, it would undoubtedly be a huge help for his future development.

Fame and fortune, this temptation cannot be called small.

And Thousand Illusions also gave him a reassurance; as long as He Lingchuan helps the Illusion Sect defeat Miao Zhantian and the Tiangong, Thousand Illusions will definitely not harm him.

He Lingchuan let the Haoyuan Gold Mirror return to the field, but he was taking the risk of being captured by Thousand Illusions. Now Thousand Illusions was telling him through Xiao Wencheng: Don't worry, it's fine, I will definitely, definitely not look for trouble with you.

Definitely.

To be honest, He Lingchuan and the others were standing on Thousand Illusions' territory, and now they had no room to refuse. The other meaning of Thousand Illusions' words was, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit.

So he looked back at Wan Qifeng and the others, and nodded resolutely: "Good. Mother Zhu, you take them there."

Although these elite soldiers he had painstakingly cultivated were precious, they would sooner or later be sent to the tragic battlefield, and sooner or later there would be casualties. Only those who could walk out of the sea of corpses and mountains of blood were the elites he wanted.

This was his approach since he started commanding troops, whether in Panlong City or in reality.

Zhu Xiuer said without a word: "Follow me!"

It jumped across the Haoyuan Gold Mirror first, entered the side of the Inverted Lake, and the Black Armored Army followed closely behind. Dong Rui glanced at He Lingchuan, said "Take care," and took the Ghost Ape across the mirror.

Looking at the sand table, all parties were gathering, all rushing to the side of the Inverted Lake.

The immortals and demons of both sides had arrived.

And the Illusion Sect had long ago abandoned the Tiangong's team under He Lingchuan's command and went to the meteorite crater on the north bank of the Inverted Lake alone. He Lingchuan intentionally let them avoid the immortal-demon battlefield to avoid too heavy casualties.

Now it was Bai Ziqi who led the Tiangong's team, chasing after the Illusion Sect.

Miao Zhantian was desperately pouring divine power into the array positions of the Divine Fire Array around the Inverted Lake. The brightness of these meteorite craters increased again, looking exceptionally dazzling from the Haoyuan Gold Mirror.

If this continued, before Bai Ziqi could arrive, the Inverted Lake would be snatched away by Miao Zhantian.

Thousand Illusions naturally wouldn't sit and wait for death.

So, the surface of the Inverted Lake suddenly boiled, and a large amount of air bubbles surged from the bottom. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that a strange change had suddenly occurred at the bottom of the lake.

Immediately afterward, a deep chasm split open by the lake, extending from the east of the Inverted Lake all the way to the meteorite crater in the east!

The earthquake that spread across the entire world appeared again, and He Lingchuan, who was hiding underground, also felt the strong tremors.

Thousand Illusions took action, directly pulling a water channel from the Inverted Lake to pour back into the meteorite crater.

Didn't Miao Zhantian want to strengthen the array positions? It just poured tens of thousands of tons of cold water down to cool the meteorites well.

Thousand Illusions' abacus was also very shrewd: to encircle the Inverted Lake, Miao Zhantian had to strengthen all seven array positions at the same time to have a chance to seize the Inverted Lake; but Thousand Illusions only needed to extinguish the light of one meteorite crater, and this encirclement would naturally vanish along with Miao Zhantian's hopes! Is it easier to strengthen seven places or break one? It goes without saying.

So this location immediately became the focus of the chaotic battle between the immortals and demons of both sides.

Elder Liu and the other three elders, plus a Mother Zhu, a total of five immortals attacked the meteorite crater.

The four opposing immortal-demons defended, and both sides fought fiercely.

However, the Shimei God had previously been seriously injured by Elder Xue, and could not exert thirty percent of its power at the moment. At this time, Mother Zhu's role was crucial, pressing on the Illusion Sect's side, immediately becoming an important weight for the tilt of the balance of victory.

He Lingchuan commanded the Illusion Sect to fight while asking Xiao Wencheng: "Sect Master Xiao, even if Miao Zhantian occupies the Inverted Lake, how can it harm the Immortal Venerable?"

The logic here didn't make sense.

He was already deeply involved, so Xiao Wencheng was too polite to keep secrets, so he had to answer his doubts: "Both worlds originally belonged to the Immortal Venerable, but it's not easy to say that truth and illusion can change at will; there are still many laws that cannot be changed at will."

He Lingchuan nodded. The more complex and complete the world, the more the rules running through it would be woven into warp and weft; even for Thousand Illusions, the creator, moving the rules at will would affect the whole body and cause chain consequences.

Some underlying laws even absolutely cannot be moved, otherwise it would easily lead to the collapse of the world.

Xiao Wencheng pointed to the Inverted Lake in the mirror: "If this area is occupied by Miao Zhantian, and it even opens a channel to the other world, then the laws at the connection between the two worlds will definitely appear chaotic and contradictory, causing law turbulence."

He took a breath: "To tell you the truth, the channel connecting the two worlds is the weakest place in the entire Inverted Sea. Once law turbulence appears..."

He Lingchuan understood: "Miao Zhantian will easily get rid of the shackles, rush out of the Illusion Realm, and face the Immortal Venerable's true body directly?"

"Correct." What is this kid's cultivation level, why can he draw inferences like this? Xiao Wencheng's face was solemn, "Causing law turbulence requires unparalleled power. Judging from Miao Zhantian's current performance, it possesses such ability, which is why the Immortal Venerable is deeply worried."

"So that's how it is." So, as long as this channel is pierced, the life-and-death battle between Miao Zhantian and Thousand Illusions will begin? The King does not see the King, excellent.

He Lingchuan thought for a while and asked again: "Miao Zhantian's power seems to be beyond the Immortal Venerable's expectations?"

Xiao Wencheng was silent for a while, clearly communicating with Thousand Illusions.

Then he opened his mouth: "For more than two thousand years, Miao Zhantian has sat firmly in the top few seats of the Lingxu demons, but its cultivation improvement has always been very slow, until a strange object appeared in the world more than a hundred years ago, which greatly improved the cultivation of these Heavenly Demon leaders."

He Lingchuan asked knowingly: "Eh, what strange object?"

"Punishment Dragon Pillar." Xiao Wencheng stared at him, "Has Island Master He heard of it?"

"Of course." He Lingchuan didn't avoid it, "I even confiscated a few in the Flash Gold Plains; they were all collected by the servants of minor gods for their masters. So, Miao Zhantian is using the Punishment Dragon Pillar to improve its cultivation?"

He said it half-truthfully, and Xiao Wencheng couldn't judge how much he knew for a while, only continuing: "The Immortal Venerable made this inference. The Punishment Dragon Pillar is of great benefit to these Heavenly Demons, and it also set off a bloody storm in the Demon Realm more than a hundred years ago, causing frequent occurrences of Emperor Flowing Pulp in the human world. However, Miao Zhantian's cultivation growth makes today's battle very hard to fight."

After He Lingchuan finished listening, what he thought about was another matter:

Heavenly Demons will lose a lot of divine power during the divine descent process, and Miao Zhantian should be no exception. Descending into True Monarch Cangxi's skin, it only had sixty or seventy percent of its power in its prime.

Even so, it could fight Thousand Illusions to a standstill? Then it's no wonder Thousand Illusions was surprised and frightened, because if you push it back from this, isn't Miao Zhantian's true strength above it? You must know that for these two thousand years, not only have the Heavenly Demons been practicing diligently, but True Immortals like Thousand Illusions haven't been idle either.

He Lingchuan originally thought that immortals in cave heavens could only linger on, and it would be good if their cultivation didn't degenerate; the example was Zhu Erniang.

To survive, it even condensed its original cultivation on its shell and shed it, degenerating layer by layer from a demon immortal to a monster, only then preserving its life.

But Thousand Illusions refreshed his cognition. In an era of spiritual energy depletion, powerful True Immortals still lived a hundred times better than loose immortals.

This is like a wealthy family going through a famine year; it's much easier than for the poor.

This great immortal extracted the spiritual energy of half the Flash Gold Plains for its own use, raised a sect of more than a thousand people in the Inverted Sea Cave Heaven, and also rounded up tens of thousands of mortals to serve itself; it can be said that the spiritual energy environment was quite generous. Before the Positive and Negative Heavenly Gang Array stopped working, Illusion Sect disciples in the Inverted Sea chose to fly by sword when going up and down the mountain; spiritual energy and profound crystals could be used partly and wasted partly, and no one felt heartache.

Low-level disciples were like this, so how would Thousand Illusions wrong itself? Not to mention it also obtained the Great Expansion Heavenly Pearl sixty years ago; its cultivation should have been advancing courageously.

It had improved so much itself, and now it was still a tie with Miao Zhantian; this psychological gap must make it particularly unhappy.

He Lingchuan asked the doubt since the beginning of the war: "I have one more thing I don't understand: are Miao Zhantian and the group of Heavenly Demons under it personally present?"

While speaking, he also kept paying attention to the battle trends of his partners.

Except for him, all his own manpower was invested in the lakeside battlefield. Currently, Mother Zhu and the immortals were fighting the Tiangong's immortal-demons, while Dong Rui was mixed with the Black Armored Army, specifically killing the thorns in the Tiangong's army.

One of the basic fighting methods He Lingchuan taught them was pulling out nails. Even if the enemy's small team only had seven or eight members, they would have their own core figures. The role of Dong Rui and the others was to find these core figures and kill them, then the enemy team's combat ability would drop straight down.

He Lingchuan didn't want the Illusion Sect team to do the same, but the cultivators really didn't have the ability to recognize the enemy leader at a glance. It's like once a herd of cattle or deer runs, lions and tigers can find the old and weak at a glance, but to humans, every head of cattle or deer looks like it came out of the same mold.

This eye for detail must have been honed on the battlefield.

There were countless inconspicuous little tricks on the battlefield that could help their side win more survival space.

Now the Tiangong's immortal-demons were bitten to death by the Illusion Sect elders and Mother Zhu, and had no spare energy to rush to the meteorite crater in the north of the lake, and Dong Rui naturally didn't intend to get close to the immortal-demon battlefield and become a pond fish.

"That's for sure!" Xiao Wencheng frowned, "You don't think that Heavenly Demons only need to send down a few clones to be able to fight us to a draw?"

How could there be such a good thing?
