Chapter 563 Observing Doomsday
"coming!"
At the same time, far away near the new Hengdu capital Fancheng, in a loft, several monks from the Taixu Mansion wearing tight leather jackets and shiny silver helmets exclaimed in unison.
And right in the middle of them, a clear spring like a mirror suddenly bloomed with lotus-like ripples... In a blink of an eye, the ripples not only did not gradually subside, but became denser and more rapid, and even looked like boiling! Just like the fear in people's hearts!
"Don't mess up!"
Behind them, a middle-aged monk who was also wearing a tight leather jacket and a golden helmet on his head, suddenly let out a loud shout and his Nascent Soul level true energy surged, making everyone around him feel a buzzing in their heads and frightened.
"We have been holding the formation here for more than a month, aren't we waiting for it to come?! If we follow the instructions, there won't be any problems! Everyone follow me, Taixu filter, start!"
As the last motto sounded, fluorescent light began to flow on the surface of everyone's helmet, and then tiny round mirrors condensed from the fluorescent light and rose up, forming a tiny and delicate refraction array above their heads.
Several people closed their eyes tightly and used their spiritual powers to control the round mirrors. They slightly turned the angle of the round mirror on their helmets and carefully pointed the round mirror on the farthest helmet toward the west.
The place where Taichu Tianzun suddenly appeared.
hum!
The captain of the golden helmet who first turned the mirror felt only a faint impact blooming in the depths of his sea of consciousness, but it soon disappeared without a trace. The mirrors on his head also left no trace at all.
"Tsk." Realizing that his "sight" did not hit the target accurately, and he just passed by Taichu Tianzun, the captain felt a little unwilling, but also a little relieved: this kind of technology of controlling filters and looking at the illusion from hundreds of miles away is full of errors. No matter how delicate he is, he will most likely miss the target in the end. This is also the reason why Taixu Mansion asked them to work in groups of multiple people and rotate in multiple groups.
The Jingzhou phantom disaster was not something that could be faced directly by one's own strength.
The captain quickly turned his attention to others.
hum!
Another person shuddered all over, and also felt something when he was looking at the void through the filter, but in the end he still passed by the real person, and shook his head helplessly with nothing gained.
"what!"
A short but rather fat middle-aged man exclaimed at this moment. More than ten round mirrors on his head suddenly began to ripple and the mirror surfaces twisted like flowing water.
"I think I saw it! I was almost there..."
Before he could finish his words, Captain Golden Helmet interrupted him with a stern voice: "Don't look directly at me!"
"No, just a little bit, just a little bit!"
The fat man, however, turned a deaf ear to it, his whole body trembling like a sieve, his tone revealed an unconscious fanatical conversion, and even drooling from the corners of his mouth.
The captain was very anxious and immediately ordered: "Stop the God!"
Upon hearing the order, the people waiting outside the attic immediately activated the magic circle, shooting a ray of golden light at the short and fat middle-aged man. The golden light smashed his consciousness that had left his body back like a heavy hammer. The whole process was extremely compact and swift, just as prescribed in the manual.
But it was still a step too late. The short and fat middle-aged man still saw the Jingzhou phantom disaster that descended on the Western County through the twelve filters by a hair's breadth.
With just one glance, his cognition changed drastically, and all the basic elements that constituted his thinking and consciousness were dissociated. The full Yuanshen, which had been polished for decades and was comparable to that of a Yuanying Zhenren, was like a burning willow catkin, and it turned into ashes in an instant.
All that remained was an empty sea of consciousness and a body that was gradually losing its vitality.
The short and fat middle-aged man slowly collapsed to the ground in front of his colleagues' stunned gazes. When he landed on his back, his helmet rolled to the side, and people saw that his entire head had sunk inward like a balloon deflated by negative pressure.
"Grass!"
Captain Golden Helmet couldn't help but curse out loud, his voice filled with both anger and fear.
What on earth is that phantom disaster in the West?!
They were far away in the prosperous city, and they had made sufficient preparations for this distant view. When they carefully cast their sights towards the Western County, they even used filters to refract the light, filtering the scenery that came into view through twelve layers. Each refraction would reduce the light intensity by half. In this way, even the strong light above the sky, which was like the creation of the world when the stars disappeared, would be as dim as a firefly.
But even so, the manual issued by the superiors still strictly forbids the person holding the mirror to look directly at the phantom disaster, and only requires them to use the refraction method to capture its edge when the phantom disaster occurs... And now, the captain with the golden helmet on his head is extremely glad that he didn't even capture the edge just now!
With the corrosive power of the phantom disaster being so strong, if one really saw his figure with one's own eyes, even just an outline, just a scale or a claw, one might die like the short and fat monk from the center of the moon!
As the elite of Taixu Mansion stationed in Yuliang, the capital of Song State, which is also the headquarters of the Immortal Alliance, everyone in the attic now has a great reputation in the Taixu field of the Immortal Alliance. Although the short and fat man is not from a professional school, his spiritual awareness is tenacious and his methods are numerous. He is much more powerful than most of the top students from the academy who are from professional schools. When he was not recruited by Taixu Mansion and wandered around the countries, he had caused many Taixu Qingyis in small and medium-sized countries to worry and lose face.
However, such a powerful and slippery elite died as humbly as an ant right in front of his eyes!
Just a glance, just a moment through twelve filters!
At this moment, the corpse of the short fat man lying dead on the ground began to change again. Bubbles suddenly appeared in the shriveled head, and something was about to sprout!
However, just as the bubbles were rising, the tight leather jacket on the corpse suddenly seemed to come alive and began to flow, instantly wrapping the fat man's body like a silkworm pupa. The silver helmet that had fallen to the ground suddenly jumped up and landed on the leather jacket, suppressing the corpse underneath.
"Grass……"
Captain Golden Helmet cursed again, but he was somewhat grateful for surviving the disaster.
Because the fat man died so suddenly, even he, the captain, almost forgot the drill code. If someone died during the Overlook operation, the body must be handled immediately... Fortunately, although he, the person in charge on the scene, neglected it, the array symbol engraved in the leather vestments did not neglect it and filled the hole for them in time. After a moment, the captain shook his head, tried to control his emotions, and ordered the few people in the attic to withdraw.
In this state, we can no longer carry out the long-range mission.
We can only hope that our colleagues stationed in other lofts will be lucky enough.
-
An hour later, a report with blood stains appeared on the desk in the confidential room on the top floor of the Shanlei Fortress, west of Lingshan.
The person who submitted the report was the new Taixu Mansion Master Ge Libang. Not long ago, this old man was able to smoothly retire from the position of Zhuwang Taixu Envoy because of his great achievements in the Nine Venerables Competition, and then transferred to Song Yuliang as he wished. However, he did not expect that the Immortal Alliance Taixu Mansion was no longer the leisurely government office that focused on academic exchanges in the past hundred years.
The mission it shoulders is more important than ever before. Glibang has worked diligently all his life and it is impossible for him to lose his integrity in his old age, so he has to take up the heavy responsibility again with great reluctance.
"…In summary, the Primordial Illusion has initially infiltrated Mingzhou. The Tianzun's stunning appearance in the "Demon Slayer" caused quite a stir. Fortunately, the situation did not exceed expectations, and the sacrifices were within an acceptable range. Among the ten observation points that participated in the Overlook Operation at the first time, three people died, and another eleven suffered severe spiritual damage. As for the students in the "Demon Slayer", they were lucky enough not to be injured, but they could not leave their spirits and enter the void again for a short period of time."
The old man's voice was a little unclear, his words were slow to pronounce, and his tone was so steady that it made people drowsy... But the heads of state who attended the meeting were all thrilled, and even if they had felt a little sleepy before, it had long been washed away by cold sweat.
"Master Ge, your report..."
Butianjun from the center of the moon interrupted Gurihama before he could finish his slow speech.
"It's really unbelievable. Who, through twelve filters, can still instantly destroy a Taixu practitioner at the peak of the Golden Core Realm who is sitting in the Sky Tower? Moreover, if I understand correctly, the other party didn't even launch a direct attack, just..."
"Just standing there and letting people see me." Qingyuan Jun's tone remained as elegant as before, but his face seemed to be even darker. "Excuse me, this has reached the point of being absurd."
Then, Changshengjun also questioned.
"It's not that we don't trust Lord Ge, but there are some things that don't make sense. For example, those Xinheng students, they should have faced Taichu directly at the first opportunity, right? But the result was only in the illusion, and their bodies were decomposed and they died, while in reality they were almost unscathed. On the contrary, the elite members of Taixu Mansion who were far away in Fancheng died tragically on the spot. How can this be possible?"
As he spoke, the old man turned his gaze to the Lord of Mo Lin, Yulong Jun, but saw that Ling Xiao was only focused on the details of the report and seemed to be deaf to the discussion at the conference table... This made the old man a little suspicious.
The matter of Taichu Tianzun was told to several kings in Yuliang by Lu Youyou himself at the closing ceremony of the Nine Zun Competition not long ago.
The matter was of great importance, and there were countless bizarre and even historically uncommon points, but since Lu Youyou chose to speak frankly, she was naturally well prepared and had all kinds of evidence in her hands that made people believe it. Although the kings still had many doubts, they were eventually convinced one by one.
However, it is obvious that the reasons why the several kings were convinced are not exactly the same. Some had to believe it because of the evidence in front of them, some were more based on their trust in Lu Youyou herself, and some... probably knew about this for a long time.
Just when Changshengjun was distracted for a moment, the reporter Ge Libin, on the opposite side of the conference table, explained Changshengjun's questions in an orderly manner.
"To Changsheng Jun: The reasoning behind this is not complicated. The Lingkong Pavilion Overlooking Operation hosted by Taixu Mansion is essentially to go beyond the Taixu Painting Scroll and directly see the existence of Tianzun in the illusion. And those students are only in the Taixu Painting Scroll, feeling a ray of "projection" of Tianzun in the painting scroll. The damage they suffer is naturally different. And from the perspective of the painting scroll alone, those students will not be able to leave their spirits again for a long time in the future, which is equivalent to being annihilated in the illusion, so the damage is not light."
Changsheng Jun frowned and asked again, "But, I remember that Lord Wang Shan and Lord Lu once said that Taichu Tianzun was essentially deceived by a group of golden immortals and practiced the false immortal way for thousands of years to become a Yangxian... Is that Yangxian really that powerful?"
Glibang hesitated to answer this question. He could certainly answer it, but the person who was truly qualified to answer it was naturally the only person in the conference room who had truly witnessed the true appearance of Tianzun.
Wang Luo shook his head: "Obviously not, at least it is impossible to go through twelve refractions and still kill people with the sense of existence. But I think the problem here is that the Lishen Refraction Array failed to work properly, not that Tianzun himself is stronger than the sun, moon and stars in this world."
Changsheng Jun was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "That makes sense. The immortal way of the Right of Heaven may not be able to fully work on the Left of Heaven, let alone... that Heavenly Venerable. But in this case, what should we do next?"
Wang Luo said: "First, we must control the news about Xin Heng, appease those students, and ensure that the promotion of Taixu Painting Scroll is not affected."
Changshengjun was surprised to hear this, but Ge Libang responded seriously: "Understood, I will personally take care of this matter."
Wang Luo added: "To integrate Jingzhou with the Taixu Illusion Realm, and then to guide Taichu Tianzun to Taixu, this is a crucial part of the Immortal Alliance's next strategy to settle the wilderness. Lord Lu and I have already discussed the specific details with you many times, so there is no need to repeat them now. The Taixu Painting Scroll is the best way to guide you. The difference between having the painting scroll and not having it is clear today, so although it may sound a bit disregarding, the Taixu Painting Scroll is still the top priority."
Changsheng Jun then asked: "Then, Lingkong Pavilion..."
Wang Luo said: "The Sky Tower still needs to be maintained, or the current result just shows that we need the Sky Tower to play a greater role. The twelve-fold refraction array cannot offset the pressure of Taichu Tianzun, so once the Taixu painting scroll cannot completely restrain Tianzun, the consequences will be disastrous. Therefore, before Taichu Tianzun is completely led into Taixu, we must use observation to constantly guide him into our rhythm, rather than letting him roam around in the illusion. For unknown things, observation is always the most powerful weapon... even if it comes at a heavy price."
At this time, Bu Tianjun couldn't help but ask: "In this case, why don't you share with everyone, Master Wang Shan, how did you complete the observation in Jingzhou without paying a heavy price?"
Wang Luo glanced at Gao Heng and answered seriously, "At that time, I had a Golden Immortal guarding me, and the Heavenly Venerable was still in a deep sleep. Today, the Heavenly Venerable has gradually awakened, and his pressure is completely different from that day. And the cultivators of Lingkong Pavilion, even if they are wearing Dinghuang robes, cannot resist the Miaofa Golden Immortal. Can Lord Bu Tian understand my answer?"
Before Gao Heng could say anything more, Yulong Jun, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said, "Of course I can understand that this matter concerns the entire Jiuzhou. Lord Wang Shan has no need to deliberately conceal or mislead others. We also need to work together to defeat the powerful enemy."
When Lord Bu Tian heard this, he could only smile helplessly: "Well, this time I am the villain again. Lord Wang Shan, I didn't mean to target you with my words just now, please forgive me."
