Chapter 2407 Consistent Judgments
Immortal Mingke continued his analysis: "This is the triple damage, each a fierce battle. No matter how powerful the Earth Mother is, she will be exhausted and extremely weak here. Shangguan Biao took advantage of this weakness and sealed her essence in the secret realm. Hmm, without these battles, Shangguan Biao might not have been able to defeat the Earth Mother."
Even the powerful demon, Aunt Zhu, felt a sense of shared hatred and indignation: "The Earth Mother is truly unlucky to have such a sect leader as Changfeng Valley."
Immortal Mingke nodded his chin toward the Wind and Dew Golden Lotus: "Our purpose in entering this secret realm is to find the Earth Mother's stone heart or essence—if our deduction is correct—is it possible that it is hidden within this Wind and Dew Golden Lotus?"
Aunt Zhu immediately looked at He Lingchuan.
He Lingchuan also looked at the Wind and Dew Golden Lotus, lost in thought.
"Shangguan Biao's deliberate act of moving the Wind and Dew Golden Lotus into the Duzhi Mountain Secret Realm is noteworthy in itself," Immortal Mingke said solemnly. "Everything in this secret realm is illusory, but the Wind and Dew Golden Lotus is real. Moreover, Shangguan Biao has been having demon blood sent in from outside to water the lotus. The dew from this plant has a calming and soothing effect. Perhaps Shangguan Biao could have taken a one-step approach and directly placed the Earth Mother's essence within the lotus, wouldn't that have been twice as effective?"
"We've been in this secret realm for too long; we must get results as soon as possible." Immortal Mingke had another concern he hadn't explicitly stated: he didn't know how his senior brother's investigation of the White House was going. Judging from the current situation, there was a greater than 90% chance that it was a trap. "Besides, even if the Earth Mother isn't in this Golden Lotus, we can take the Golden Lotus out to examine it and then replant it in its original place."
Aunt Zhu agreed: "Yes, what's the harm in opening the lotus to see? If it's not there, it's fine. We can just look for other places."
The cost of trial and error is very low.
He Lingchuan stared intently at the golden lotus, his hand pressed against his chest, as if talking to himself: "Isn't our target this golden lotus?"
Then, he felt the Divine Bone Necklace vibrate a few times and saw a wisp of red light dancing around the lotus.
A very strong red light.
With the blessing of the Divine Bone Necklace, he saw that while other treasures merely emitted light, the red light on this golden lotus danced up and down within a foot of the lotus, like fish playing among lotus leaves.
The Divine Bone Necklace not only gave a positive answer, but also capitalized and bolded it.
It's darkest under the lamp! Immortal Mingke is right. Their target for this mission is hidden inside this golden lotus!
He Lingchuan frowned, somewhat surprised.
Just then, all three of them heard a slight noise.
Aunt Zhu is most sensitive to even the slightest vibrations from the ground:
“Someone is coming this way, and there are quite a few of them, including some with very high cultivation levels. They might be coming for us.”
Once the pursuers arrive, it won't be as easy for them to pluck the Golden Lotus of Wind and Dew as it is now.
Immortal Mingke stared at the Golden Lotus of Wind and Dew, a cold glint appearing from his sleeve: "Time waits for no one, make your move!"

After successfully sending his three companions into the Duzhishan Secret Realm, Ling Jinbao retreated to his camp in Changfeng Valley and hid on a high hill.
He had previously disguised himself as a Cyclops to deliver the blood urn, but under the watchful eye of the Stone Golem's clone, he couldn't get in and had to stay outside.
Of the four infiltrators, he was the weakest in terms of cultivation. But Ling Jinbao had a good attitude; someone always had to keep watch outside and do some communication work.
The hill where he was hiding was high up and densely vegetated. Since he had nothing better to do, Ling Jinbao simply climbed up a giant palm tree and looked out over the battlefield outside Yujing City.
From his vantage point, he could just see the battle taking place on a slope in the northern suburbs of Yujing City.
Since the revival of spiritual energy in the world, the intensity of wars in the human realm has been constantly escalating, especially among cultivators. Ling Jinbao had participated in several such battles before, but none could compare to the great war between Mount Ling and the Earth Mother!
The immortals of Mount Ling have all joined the fray, bombarding the Earth Mother's barrier with a dazzling display, more spectacular than New Year's fireworks. The Earth Mother's ability to withstand such a massive attack from immortals and cultivators will surely bring her even greater fame after this battle.
The counterattack by the Earth Mother Demon Army and the Heavenly Demons is now extremely swift and fierce.
Ling Jinbao had just seen a huge firebird descend from the sky and crash into the barrier. It was over thirty feet long, and its body was surrounded by golden-white flames, indicating a terrifying high temperature.
It illuminated half the sky.
Judging from its speed and power, if it were to collide head-on, its impact would likely be far greater than that of a single meteorite falling from the sky previously.
He recognized that this must be the magic of the Immortal Sihai. The ancient immortals were indeed remarkable; they must have been preparing for this for a long time.
After such a long and fierce battle, the Earth Mother's barrier has been greatly depleted and is no longer as sturdy as it was initially. The Firebird's unparalleled attack may very well shatter it.
Just then, a beam of blue light shot out from the Jade Capital City. Although it was not as dazzling as the firebird, its speed was no slower.
Even Ling Jinbao, who prided himself on his exceptional eyesight, only managed to discern that it appeared to be rotating...
Uh, a turtle?
The Spiral Turtle is not uncommon among amphibious demons, but it is not only large, reaching the size of a small mountain, but also has a thick and hard shell covered with sharp ridges of various sizes.
In just two breaths, the spinning tortoise collided head-on with the firebird.
Boom! The explosion caused by this collision sent smoke and dust covering almost half of Jade Capital City!
The bright light forced everyone to turn their heads and close their eyes.
The tortoise was blown to pieces, its shell fragments flying everywhere.
However, blocked by it, the Fire Phoenix was unable to unleash its full power on the Earth Mother's barrier, and only managed a brief impact before losing all strength.
It exploded into a dazzling display of light on the barrier, illuminating the entire sky, before disappearing.
Ling Jinbao then belatedly realized that the spiraling tortoise was probably one of the most terrifying weapons the Heavenly Demon possessed during the era of micro-laws.
Qi beast!
Besides scouring immortal caves everywhere in search of divine beings' skins, the Heavenly Demon also wreaked havoc on many monsters, turning them into Qi beasts.
The demon puppets of later generations were improved upon the Qi beast in order to adapt to the environment with even less spiritual energy.
But in an era when spiritual energy is abundant again, the Qi beast has once again found a place to use its abilities.
They are larger, stronger, and more powerful, with even greater supernatural abilities. They can even hinder and suppress the progress of cultivators and immortals in localized battles of supernatural powers.
In the past, although the Heavenly Palace possessed many large Qi beasts, it was difficult to transport them to the battlefield. These great treasures were extremely irritable by nature, and once their seals were broken, they would suddenly attack and harm people, making long-distance transportation a major challenge.
The last time the Heavenly Palace sent Du Yun to investigate the Panlong Ruins, they used the Child-Devouring Qi Beast. That is, the young Qi Beast was sealed in a living person, and then activated and released when needed.
While this solved the problem of long-distance transportation, the Qi beasts that a person could carry were usually only juveniles, and their power was limited.
But the Qi beasts that appeared on the battlefield of Yujing City today are all huge!
