Chapter 2826

After they died, the Dreamland of the Illusory Music Goddess still existed. But a few herb farmers confessed that they had been ordered by someone to first go underground and release glowing purple worms.

What about the worms? He Lingchuan recalled the Red General's disgust; she had complained that the colors of Illusory Music's Purple Dream Divine Realm were too garish.

The fact that Illusory Music's divine realm can still exist must be related to these things. Bao Chihai was anxious: "Our people went to dig, but even after digging ten feet we found nothing. I also wanted to go, but without your assignment, we cannot leave the Earth Mother Plain!"

Because they were assigned by the Great Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds, the range of activity of these Night Wanderers is limited to the Earth Mother Plain. Without the Emperor's command, they cannot leave.

Mingke Xianren interjected on the side: "I had the little stone man go look, but to no avail."

The Earth Mother extended her perception over the entire Trapped Dragon Moat, like tree roots firmly gripping the underground soil. Here she is not quite omniscient, but nearly so.

"Those worms are most likely not real objects; they do not exist in the Earth Mother's perception." He Lingchuan judged: "The Illusory Music Goddess silently approached the Earth Mother, and it remained completely unaware. You let the Earth Mother's avatar search for these worms—naturally you would find nothing. Bao Chihai, you send the Night Wanderers to search the Trapped Dragon Moat; even if you have to dig three feet deep, you must dig them out!"

"Yes!" Bao Chihai's spirits lifted, "But the fighting here...?"

The Great Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds spoke with golden words and jade speech, and in an instant expanded the Night Wanderers' range of activity to the entire Trapped Dragon Moat.

However, facing a strong enemy invasion, the Earth Mother Plain originally lacked sufficient strength; if the Night Wanderers were to leave again...

"No problem, I am here."

The Great Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds said this lightly, and Bao Chihai took a reassurance pill, then hurriedly transmitted the order.

Yes, at present the only one capable of turning the tide is none other than the Emperor himself!

While organizing this information, He Lingchuan's mind was also turning over and over.

In the Great Square Vase, the Coiled Dragon was still undergoing its final battle, its life and death uncertain, its future unknown.

On the Earth Mother Plain, he still had a pile of worries.

No matter which side, it is a staggering difficulty—how can we possibly attend to both?

"What should we do now, ah? What should we do!" The mirror in his arms was already buzzing anxiously.

"Don't make noise; at this time, you just don't add trouble for the master." The Blood Demon stopped it while simultaneously reasoning, "What else can we do? We must surely enter the dream! If we cannot rescue the Earth Mother, who will help us clean up so many heavenly demons?"

"Quite right, you go too." He Lingchuan said casually, "You are also a thing of emptiness, so go to that place of emptiness."

"Eh..." What more could it say?

But He Lingchuan also agreed with what it said; the Earth Mother is an important leverage point for them to overcome these two major difficulties.

"After being tricked into entering the Illusory Music Divine Realm, the Earth Mother should have realized she had been deceived." He Lingchuan's eyes flickered, "It is merely simple, not foolish. Illusory Music is very unlikely to, like Shangguan Biao, keep the Earth Mother in a peaceful sleeping state."

Sleeping, then it will not resist.

Once the Earth Mother becomes obstinate, it becomes an existence that gives everyone a headache.

Mingke Xianren said softly: "So what we need to do is enter the Illusory Music Divine Realm and bring the Earth Mother out."

He Lingchuan said casually: "This is most likely still the enemy's trap."

The enemy's layout in the Trapped Dragon Moat is meticulous and long-term, worthy of being called interlocking rings. It is hard to say whether our side, if we rush into Illusory Music's divine realm, will not fall into the enemy's trap again, stepping into it with one foot.

This is very possible.

He has not encountered such a strong opponent for a long time; the last one was still...

Bai Ziqi?

This name has not appeared in his mind for a long time.

Therefore, his method of dealing with the Illusory Music Goddess had best be able to deal the enemy an unexpected blow.

"If I go to the Illusory Music Goddess's divine realm..." Upon saying this, He Lingchuan himself suddenly felt a chill.

Mingke Xianren was still waiting for the continuation, but He Lingchuan fell silent, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

"I have a method."

At this time Bao Chihai also returned, and He Lingchuan immediately asked him: "If my soul leaves my body, can you take me to find Illusory Music's divine realm?"

Bao Chihai nodded: "Can! But the combat techniques in dreams and reality are worlds apart, you..."

Although the Great Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds is powerful, he should lack experience in dream combat. This time, the enemy they face is still a dream goddess capable of building her own divine realm; her grasp of the laws of the dream world should be better than most nightmares.

Therefore, if the Great Emperor's soul directly rushes into her dream, it is also abnormally dangerous.

He Lingchuan said calmly: "I have a countermeasure."

He did not need to explain a single word, and Bao Chihai believed him.

"Please return to outside the Secret Realm. By the way, we still need one thing, used to find the Earth Mother."

He Lingchuan casually asked: "What thing?"

"Clues. This object must be able to enter the dream, and must be related to the Earth Mother." Bao Chihai added, "It will become our index. Otherwise, the Illusory Music Goddess's realm is very complex; if we rashly go to find the Earth Mother, it is like looking for a needle in the sea."

He Lingchuan understood. In the past, when he wanted to track a target, he would find that person's personal belongings and give them to Fu Shanyue to sniff.

Fu Shanyue finds people by smell; dreammares find people by association. We need something related to the Earth Mother in order to find our target in the dream realm.

"This thing must be able to enter the dream?"

"Yes."

He Lingchuan pondered for two breaths: "Before the Earth Mother fell asleep, what did it do? Do you know?"

"I don't know." The Earth Mother wants to sleep, and it also would not report to you, Bao Chihai.

"Then, where has it gone? Including its avatars."

"Just here, the Coiled Dragon Secret Realm." Bao Chihai did have an impression: "I have a subordinate Night Wanderer who saw its stone avatar enter the Coiled Dragon Secret Realm."

Anywhere on this Earth Mother Plain, the Earth Mother can freely control it, except for the Secret Realm, especially the Coiled Dragon Secret Realm. So if it wants to use something, it also has to send its stone avatar in.

"I understand." He Lingchuan strode toward the Blessing Pool.

This pool is full of lotuses and aquatic plants, staggered in height, pleasing to the eye, and is a refined scene on the southern plaza.

He Lingchuan just pushed aside the long grass and plucked a lotus flower from the pool.

It was in bud, about to bloom, and its petals still had a few drops of pale green dew.

This dew sometimes appeared as water droplets, sometimes turned into a wisp of green qi, swirling around the lotus.

"Golden Dew Lotus?" Bao Chihai exclaimed in realization, "You judged that the Earth Mother, before falling asleep, had consumed the dew of this golden lotus?"

This is a habit it has developed over many years; ninety-nine percent it won't change. Stone Man's stubbornness is something He Lingchuan knows all too well.

Let's go, we can't afford to waste time.

Everyone passed through the Secret Realm and returned to Panlong Ancient City. He Lingchuan grabbed the divine bone necklace at his neck and muttered to himself:

You should know what I'm thinking, don't drag me over too early, okay.
