Chapter 1709 Illusion and Truth
"The storm wall has just been opened, so there may not be any movement in the lake." Xiao Wencheng said in a serious tone, "We have to wait until after dark."
almost.
"It just so happens that Upside Down Lake is separated from the open sea by a weir." He pointed to the coastline, "Then let's open the weir and lead them in."
The Haoyuan Golden Mirror showed that Bai Ziqi's fleet had found another flat beach and was preparing to land.
Xiao Wencheng took the lead and once again called upon the power of Master Qianhuan to elevate this flat beach into a towering reef.
Then there was another major earthquake across the island, with constant rumbling sounds.
Dozens of magicians in Bai Ziqi's fleet were dissatisfied and wanted to gather everyone's strength to flatten the reef. However, no matter how hard they tried, it was to no avail.
It's useless. The topography of this Upside-Down Sea was decided by the Haoyuan Golden Mirror. No, it was decided by True Man Qianhuan.
The fleet had no choice but to give up and search for the next landing site.
Taking advantage of the grand event of the last landform change, Xiao Wencheng quietly pressed down his other hand on the edge of the Upside-Down Lake, deeply "pressing" down the weir.
The sea water poured in all of a sudden.
In this way, there is no barrier between Upside-Down Lake and the ocean, and the waters can communicate with each other.
And from the sand table, the current Upside Down Lake is not a lake at all. It is clearly a natural harbor connected to the open sea!
"Bai Ziqi's fleet will definitely not miss this place." Xiao Wencheng was very satisfied with his move, "Junior Brother Jin, Junior Brother Xu, prepare to lead people over."
The two elders responded and turned to leave.
The mirror showed that Bai Ziqi's fleet was moving along the coastline and indeed arrived at the Upside-down Lake after two quarters of an hour!
He Lingchuan saw with his own eyes that the fleet entered from the original enclosure and slowly sailed towards the inner shore of the lake.
"It's time, don't let them set up the formation!" Xiao Wencheng lightly tapped the Haoyuan Golden Mirror, and the mirror disappeared, as if it had never existed in the quiet room.
"Go to the square." He said to He Lingchuan, then pushed open the door, waved his sleeves, and disappeared from under the eyes of He Lingchuan and others.
In their own territory, these immortals really have some useful magical powers. Aunt Zhu spat with envy.
……
The Huan Sect used the power of heaven and earth to launch several attacks, but they were all taken down by the Heavenly Palace.
The price was that the connection array, which affected the entire fleet, had reached its limit, and the ship array was disbanded, forcing them to withdraw from the mechanism of advancing and retreating together and bearing the damage together. In a blink of an eye, the fleet lost three more ships, leaving only fourteen ships, three of which were severely damaged and had difficulty moving.
Everyone was tense, even Bai Ziqi's face was as gloomy as water. No matter how powerful they were, they had to go ashore first, otherwise they would suffer a great loss in the sea.
Fortunately, the Illusion Sect ceased its attacks after a round of explosive attacks and did not cause any more trouble for the time being.
As for the ointment under the water, he used Bai Shi's lamp spirit to make a dark fire and put it into the sea, then burned it all in one fire.
So Bai Ziqi seized the opportunity and ordered the fleet to advance at full speed.
The sea was calm again, but everyone knew that this peace would not last long. Soon, a small boat came from behind, and Bai Wei came to report:
"My Lord, people from Luodian and Longye are here to see you."
Bai Ziqi nodded.
So after a dozen breaths, the big men sent by the two armies stood on the deck and saluted Bai Ziqi respectfully: "Your Excellency! The general sent us to wait for the next move!"
Translated into vernacular: The fleet has been unable to land after going to two places. What are you going to do next? Tell us first, so that we won't be in a rush like headless flies.
These two or three thousand people followed Bai Ziqi's ship and wandered on the sea for a long time, not knowing what to do.
Bai Ziqi said calmly: "Follow me, and get ready to land."
He understood that these three forces were worried that they could not stay on the sea for long, and were afraid that the Immortal Sect would launch another major attack.
The tsunami and giant fish were too scary. The opponent could even easily lift the land and turn the flat beach into a high cliff. These magical powers were far beyond human power and were discouraging. Although these warriors were brave, they were on the boat and drifting with the waves. They knew that they could not resist it with their own courage.
The two men looked at each other with difficulty.
Is this how you repay the general?
"Don't worry, the other side can't do anything to us." Bai Ziqi pressed the ring, "Otherwise, a few more tsunamis will be enough. Why bother raising the land and preventing us from going ashore?"
The two of them asked cautiously, "You mean?"
Bai Ziqi explained: "Even if the Illusion Sect can move mountains and fill the sea, even if this is an illusion, the spiritual energy consumed by using this great magical power is extremely astonishing. How many times can they use it? Don't forget that the Reverse Heavenly Gang Formation arranged by Qianhuan outside has stopped, and the spiritual energy of the Upside-down Sea cannot be replenished in time. The resources they consume are all in stock, and they can't be as lavish as before."
"You mean we can go ashore soon?"
Talking to these guys is like playing the lute to a cow. Bai Ziqi sighed and said, "Yes, at most, we can go to two or three more places."
It seems that a clear answer is enough and there is no need to explain so much.
The two men smiled happily, took their leave immediately, and returned to their respective boats to report.
It's fine as long as we can get the job done: Lord Baidu has made it clear that we only need to go through two or three more places before we can land!
As they got off the deck, a gray parrot suddenly flew down from the gray sail. It folded its wings and landed on the wooden door frame next to Bai Ziqi, speaking in human language:
"Good analysis."
Female voice.
Bai Ziqi immediately bowed to it: "Goddess."
This grey parrot is actually Miaozhantian’s messenger bird.
"I have fought with Qian Huan before. Its illusions are subtle and its magical powers are mysterious. Its fighting style is very different from what it did just now. It will not launch such a thankless attack." The gray parrot said, "The information obtained by the insect demon may be true. Qian Huan's body is abnormal. This is great news for us."
Bai Ziqi looked towards the direction of Shilong Peak and said, "Forgive me for being blunt. Although Qian Huan has not shown up, he has already caused us unexpected losses."
From the moment he led the team to hunt down Qian Huan, he knew that this trip was extremely dangerous. But before they even set foot on Yinzhu Island, they had already lost four ships and hundreds of elite soldiers. This was more intense than he had expected.
"Except for the Black Dragon, I have never seen any immortal who can achieve 'the power of heaven and earth', even in his own cave." The gray parrot took two steps outside, "Here, even Qian Huan's subordinates can do it, strange! Most likely they borrowed his power. It seems that Qian Huan has not been idle for the past two thousand years and has gained some insights. But illusions are illusions. The more they act at will, the more 'distorted' it becomes, and 'distortion' is bound to not last long."
Even in an illusion, there are certain rules to be followed. Once you fail to follow them, the illusion will break.
No matter whether they are gods or immortals, they have practiced hard for thousands of years, comprehending the rules and understanding the laws.
Bai Ziqi asked anxiously, "Where is the boundary of the illusion of Master Qianhuan? I see that the civilians on the island are all alive, and the insects, forests, fish and birds are all real."
"It's not surprising at all. Qianhuan's illusion is to make it difficult for you to distinguish between truth and falsehood. You think it's false, but it turns out to be true; you think it's true, but it turns out to be false. You know it's Qianhuan's illusion, but there's no way to prevent it." The gray parrot said slowly, "This is called, when the false is made to be true, the true becomes false. It's meaningless for you to calculate its boundaries."
Bai Ziqi pondered.
Indeed, since the Tiangong team entered the Upside-Down Sea, the damage caused by the tsunami and giant fish is real, and the land being forcibly lifted is also real. In this light, what is the difference between the illusion and reality?
He thought for a moment and said, "The Illusion Sect has stopped its attack. It seems that even in their territory, great magical powers and might are not infinite."
"The Illusion Sect recklessly used their magical powers, thinking they were in control of everything, but in fact they were overdrawing the confidence of the entire illusion." The gray parrot laughed, "The fleet is in a bit of a mess. I had hoped they would attack again, but they stopped. It seems that this is their limit."
It's easy to do if you try to find the limit.
Seeing that the Tiangong team suffered heavy losses and they could no longer attack, Huanzong must be very annoyed, right?
Bai Ziqi wasted no time: "I heard that Qian Huan was defeated by you? Please tell me, goddess, what is its true form?"
Mirage monster is just a general term. It is said that there are many kinds of monsters, but it is difficult for outsiders to approach them.
The grey parrot was silent for a while and shook his head: "You should ask Mitian this question, but I doubt that He may not know the answer."
"Mitian?" Bai Ziqi was a little surprised. He hadn't heard of this great god for a long time.
"In ancient times, Qian Huan ambushed me in the Endless Sea. At that time, he also used the Dharmakaya. Then Mi Tian came to help. He was an absolute god of war at that time. Qian Huan was defeated and fled. He was chased by Mi Tian for half a world before he escaped. Qian Huan's whereabouts were elusive. This is its only recorded defeat." The gray parrot said, "After that battle, Qian Huan was seriously injured and did not show up until the end of the ancient war. The grudge between it and Mi Tian was formed, until later..."
It laughed deeply, paused, and said, "Even in ancient times, Qian Huan never revealed his true form. Instead, he had various forms. This should be to make up for the shortcomings of his true form."
In other words, Qian Huan's true body is not that powerful? Bai Ziqi said, "Since Qian Huan is in seclusion, our strategy will also change slightly. After we go ashore, we will first build a stronghold, gain a foothold, build a lighthouse, and plunder spiritual energy. During this process, the immortals of the Huan Sect will definitely come to stop us."
The grey parrot said, "Water will come and earth will cover it. You just need to finish the task at hand. As for the immortals, you don't need to worry about it."
Although it was downplayed, Bai Ziqi understood that Miao Zhantian's promise would definitely be fulfilled!
This was completely different from the coup in Yao Kingdom. He could ignore Bai Tan's request; but Bai Ziqi broke into Qianhuan Cave Mansion to work for him. This team was his elite force in the Shining Gold Plain. Miao Zhantian himself had to correct his attitude and go all out.
With this reassurance, Bai Ziqi became more confident: "After defeating the Illusion Sect, we will head north to attack Shilong Peak."
