Chapter 1707 He Lingchuan's Proposal
If the usual way is not possible, then you have to find another way.
Xiao Wencheng's eyes flickered slightly.
The two parties have only met once. How can Huan Zong reveal his plan to this person?
"I've tried several methods, but none of them worked." Xiao Wencheng said casually, "Does Island Master He have any suggestions?"
As soon as he entered the door, this man surnamed He said he had suggestions, but he still hasn't said it and just keeps asking them questions.
He Lingchuan saw that he was holding back, so he didn't ask any more questions, but said straightforwardly: "The Immortal Venerable Qianhuan is still in this world, in the Cloud Recesses, right?"
"It can be said like this."
"If the cave is severely shaken or attacked by an external enemy, what impact will it have on the Immortal Venerable?"
"This world will deal with it on its own." Xiao Wencheng and Elder Liu looked at each other, "But everything has its limits. If the great changes in this world are beyond the control of the Immortal Venerable, maybe... maybe it can really alarm him and make him end his meditation and come out to fight the enemy."
This young man is really knowledgeable. He has figured out some of the tricks in less than two hours.
Elder Liu said, "But, we have tried this idea several times before, but we still couldn't summon, uh, summon the Immortal Venerable. His concentration is really..."
Having said that, he smiled bitterly.
He Lingchuan showed no sign of surprise.
He knew the use of the Dayan Dzi Bead. After True Man Qianhuan refined the bead, it would not be surprising no matter what kind of changes it induced in this small world.
The fact that Qian Huan has been unable to come out of seclusion for a long time must be due to the Dayan Dzi Bead.
Aunt Zhu said, "That's because you didn't use enough force to destroy it thoroughly enough."
Xiao Wencheng shook his head: "If you want to put in a lot of effort, you have to wait until the storm wall dissipates. We originally planned to take action now, but the Heavenly Palace sent people in."
The three of them were stunned.
Before the storm barrier was opened, if the Upside-Down Sea was damaged too much, they would have nowhere to escape.
Therefore, the immortal dared not to make any big moves.
He Lingchuan pointed at the mirror and said, "Now we have a second plan. Perhaps we can invite Qianhuan Immortal Venerable out without harming the lives on Silver Pearl Island."
If the immortals use violent means to shake up the Upside-Down Sea, regardless of whether they succeed or not, the creatures living here will be the first to suffer.
In the mirror, the fleet of the Heavenly Palace was reflected and about to land. Xiao Wencheng hummed, but was not surprised: "You mean, lead them to the place where the Immortal Venerable is in seclusion?"
He Lingchuan looked at his expression and knew that he must have considered this approach and had thought it through carefully.
"The previous immortals never returned, which shows how dangerous it is. Why not ask the kind-hearted people in the Heavenly Palace to invite the Thousand Illusions Immortal to come out on behalf of the Illusion Sect?" He Lingchuan's suggestion killed two birds with one stone.
Of course, he hoped that Master Qianhuan would return soon, because the backup plan prepared by Bai Ziqi and Miao Zhantian must be very powerful.
There are several immortals in charge of the Huan Sect. He Lingchuan doesn't know their methods and doesn't know whether he should have confidence in them.
As soon as He Lingchuan opened his mouth, Elder Xu couldn't help but slam the table and stand up: "Did you hear what you are saying? If you don't understand, just shut up. No one thinks you are dumb!"
Xiao Wencheng looked back: "Junior Brother Xu..."
"You are such a rude boy, you actually want to bring trouble to the Immortal Lord!" Elder Xu said angrily, "Don't you have a master? Why do you treat your master like this? You don't do anything when facing a powerful enemy, but leave everything to your master?"
"It's just a suggestion, Elder Xu, please calm down." He Lingchuan smiled sincerely, "But I really don't have a master. I practiced all by myself."
How did he start his spiritual journey?
How did he practice? Endless battles in the Panlong world.
Speaking of masters, does the Dafanghu count?
You can't blame him for having no respect for his master. He did throw the enemies he couldn't handle in the past to Dafanghu, such as Nightmare, Narakuten, and the resentment in Luoshengjia. From this point of view, Elder Xu was right, he really liked to throw all the troubles to his master.
After saying this, Aunt Zhu looked at him subconsciously.
Yes, this kid never said who his master was. But his cultivation must have come from somewhere, who could teach a disciple like He Lingchuan?
All the immortals looked unhappy. Sect Leader Xiao said to He Lingchuan, "We are going to talk behind closed doors. Please wait outside first."
He Lingchuan nodded, and walked out of the quiet room with his companions, just in time to pass by several other elders of the Huan Sect.
As soon as the door was closed, Xiao Wencheng called them together for a discussion.
He Lingchuan gestured to Wanqi Feng and others who were not far away, asking them to stay where they were, while he, Dong Rui and Aunt Zhu walked to the small garden beside the palace.
There are many rare flowers and plants here, and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers. There are also a few camellias, which are more beautiful than roses.
Dong Rui was not interested in the view, he just asked, "Why are they hesitating?"
"They are worried that they can't summon Qian Huan Zhenren, but they are also afraid that if they use my method, the people from the Heavenly Palace will severely injure Qian Huan." He Lingchuan whispered, "Qian Huan's current state should be the best way to protect himself, but my method is to let Huan Zong bypass this heavy arrangement and use the power of the Heavenly Palace to directly shake out their ancestor. So, they can't help but have doubts."
"The method you proposed is much easier than the first one." Aunt Zhu said bluntly, "They will figure it out."
He Lingchuan smiled, "I think Xiao Wencheng has had this intention for a long time. Otherwise, why would he consume the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and climb mountains along the sea? This thankless practice is more wasteful than stirring up a tsunami. As the head of the sect, doesn't he know what's going on? Doesn't he just want to force Bai Ziqi's fleet to a designated location? It's just that doing so is a bit treasonous and disregards the master's orders, so other immortals in the Illusion Sect disagree. If we propose it again and the situation worsens, these immortals may soften their attitudes."
He suddenly stopped talking and made a few gestures.
Sign Language.
Before setting off for Beihai, he asked everyone to learn an additional sign language to be used as encrypted conversations at critical moments.
This sign language is the military terminology of Panlong City. He Lingchuan taught it to his subordinates, Dong Rui, and Aunt Zhu. Outsiders could not understand it at all.
Master Qianhuan has a myriad of abilities, but He Lingchuan doesn't believe that Master Qianhuan can even simulate this sign language.
He also assigned a specific gesture to the name "Qianhuan Zhenren", which was to put four fingers together and lightly touch the middle finger with the thumb twice, forming a duck's beak.
He started to sign so quickly, and Aunt Zhu understood why:
The feeling of being watched always lingers. Is there someone here eavesdropping on their conversation?
After all, this is still the territory of True Man Qianhuan and the Huan Sect.
So, it’s better to enable encrypted communication.
He Lingchuan's gestures were understood by his companions:
"The unexpected incident caused by Qian Huan, these immortals were hesitant and vague in their explanation, and most of it was untrue."
People were still on guard against them and didn't tell them the whole truth.
This is human nature.
Aunt Zhu moved her front paws. Although it had eight paws, none of them was as flexible as a human hand, and it couldn't sign at all.
But that’s okay, it’s not needed.
Aunt Zhu's voice rang in their ears: "What do you think they are hiding?"
This is the unique skill of the burrow spider queen. She can use the eyeball spider to convey her "inner voice" without even opening her mouth to make a sound.
But this is a one-way transmission. He Lingchuan and Dong Rui don’t have the ability to convey their thoughts directly to it.
If they wanted to express their opinions, they could only gesture to Aunt Zhu.
"When the Storm Wall exists, the Upside-Down Sea becomes a world of its own. I have a guess: Qian Huan is in seclusion and doesn't even respond to Huan Zong's call. Maybe he has become one with this world, and it's hard to tell them apart. That's why he can use all kinds of magical powers that are unimaginable to the outside world."
As soon as he heard that the direct reason why True Man Qianhuan was in seclusion was the Dayan Dzi Pearl, he had this guess.
The function of the Dayan Dzi Bead is to combine and interchange the real and the unreal, and it is indeed the most suitable treasure for Master Qianhuan.
He Lingchuan opened his mouth: "Just now, Elder Liu also revealed that the Haoyuan Golden Mirror is so magical that it is integrated with the heaven and earth."
The magic weapon is in this state, what about its owner, Master Qianhuan?
Aunt Zhu pondered in silence.
Judging from the statements of the people from the Illusion Sect, He Lingchuan's inference makes sense.
"To merge with the heaven and earth, even the Black Dragon God couldn't do it in ancient times. Can a thousand illusions be achieved with just one bead? That's inappropriate." It's not that Aunt Zhu looks down on him, it's the truth. "I think he is still creating an illusion array! That makes sense."
He Lingchuan used sign language to ask Aunt Zhu: "Do you think Qian Huan is conscious or unconscious at this moment?"
"Unconscious." Aunt Zhu said without hesitation, "If he still had his own consciousness, how could he devour his own sect disciples?"
The Huan Sect just implicitly admitted that what they wanted to do was to break Qian Huan's state of "harmony between man and nature" and make the old man wake up.
"Use your body to become the Tao, and merge heaven and earth." He Lingchuan said this directly, because he couldn't express it with sign language. "Then he is likely to be everywhere and nowhere."
Aunt Zhu pondered: "I don't think other immortals can do this, but it's hard to say for Master Qianhuan."
After all, he is a famous ancient immortal. He is a strong man who has survived the world-destroying war. His understanding of the laws is far beyond that of ordinary immortals.
"Then why did Qian Huan prevent others from leaving the Upside-Down Sea?" He Lingchuan continued, "Before he entered into a state of meditation, as long as the Storm Wall was open, anyone could enter and leave freely. Why is it that after he entered into a state of meditation, everyone is restricted from leaving?"
The Upside-Down Sea was originally a closed little world, and it could only be opened for ten days every five years. After Qian Huan merged into it, why was there another level of restriction? This didn't make sense.
Dong Rui and Aunt Zhu looked at each other and said, "Yes, why?"
If He Lingchuan hadn't mentioned it, they wouldn't have thought of this.
Dong Rui spread his hands: "Hey, this is beyond the scope. Only Qian Huan knows the answer, right?"
He Lingchuan began to gesture again: "So the Upside-Down Sea still hides more secrets than what the Illusion Sect told us. These secrets are probably the reason why the Illusion Sect was hesitant about my proposal."
Is Huan Zong worried that Tian Gong will cause harm to Qian Huan?
But hasn’t Qian Huan already merged into the entire Upside-Down Sea? No matter how powerful Bai Ziqi is, how can he hurt him?
There are many paradoxes here.
