Chapter 2375 The Way to Infiltrate
The trial run at Lingshan resulted in five battle losses, and this is one of them? He Lingchuan hummed in agreement: "Before we arrived, you all must have come up with some brilliant ideas, right?"
“The sky.” Venerable Mingyao pointed to the sky above Yujing City. “The Qingtu Ghosts only guard the gates and don’t care about the sky.”
Aunt Zhu said, "But isn't there a barrier from the Earth Mother over the entire Jade Capital City?"
A no-fly zone over a city is something only a human nation can do.
“Yes, and the Earth Mother’s barrier can also distinguish friend from foe.” Don’t ask how Venerable Mingyao knew this, “That’s why I said it would be best to have the prisoners lead us in so that we can slip past the Earth Mother’s observation.”
Immortal Mingke added, "Furthermore, entering the city is only the initial difficulty; the journey afterward will not be smooth sailing. The Earth Mother is constantly on guard against foreign enemies entering Jade Capital City. The city is like its body, keeping a close watch on all outsiders. It will be very difficult for us to evade its perception."
Aunt Zhu pondered, "So, in other words, as soon as we leave the Bean Garden, we might be discovered by the Jade Capital?"
“It’s not ‘maybe.’ If we don’t come up with a plan, we will definitely be discovered.” That’s why they’re gathered here to discuss it.
He Lingchuan spoke up: "In Jade Capital City, there must be blind spots in the Earth Mother's vision, right? For example, in the various secret realms?"
“That’s right.” Immortal Mingke nodded. “Secret realms usually have only one master. If there is a guardian spirit inside, then the guardian spirit is the sole master. If Mother Earth wants to grasp the dynamics within the secret realm, she must obtain information indirectly through them.”
The gap between indirect acquisition and direct observation defines their scope of activity.
"In other words, the stowaways carrying the Cardamom Garden not only have to sneak us into the city from the air, but also land us in some secret realm with a guardian spirit. The first thing we need to do after we get out is to find a way to prevent it from alerting Mother Earth."
“Yes.” None of these three conditions are easy to meet. “And we will eventually have to leave the secret realm, and we can’t let Mother Earth find out then.”
Another problem arises.
Immortal Mingke said, "I have a conjecture here, I don't know if it can be established, it is also a half-experiment conducted by True Person Minghui."
"Please speak." Indeed, Master Minghui, like Dong Rui, was a research fanatic who disregarded rules. Having finally gained access to the mysterious Jade Capital City, how could he possibly restrain himself?
“In the past, when the True Man Minghui visited the volcanic secret realm of Yujing City, he casually took out a small piece of volcanic rock from it. Then, he used a secret method to activate a palm-sized wooden puppet, tied the volcanic rock to the wooden puppet, and let it run around Yujing City to avoid the monsters.”
"Just a casual thing?" The immortals exchanged knowing smiles.
This Master Minghui is not a friendly guest.
Immortal Mingke paused, "Until Immortal Minghui finished his visit and left Jade Capital City, this little wooden figure had not yet been captured."
"Later, he remotely controlled the little wooden figure to return to the volcanic secret realm to throw away the volcanic rocks, and then went out to walk. However, after only fifteen minutes, he and the little wooden figure lost contact."
“The Earth Mother has detected the foreign object; she’s very perceptive.” Aunt Zhu nodded. “For the Earth Mother, the invasion of a foreign object into Jade Capital City is probably like sand getting into her eye—she’ll sense it immediately.”
“Unless this ‘foreign object’ can be identified and recognized by Jade Capital City.” Immortal Mingke pointed to the sand table. “Jade Capital City is full of living creatures running around, and even humans. It would be too exhausting to keep an eye on them one by one, so the Earth Mother uses conditional recognition as a means of vigilance. That is, living creatures carrying foreign auras will be discovered, while the original residents of the city may not attract its attention.”
"Master Minghui's little wooden figure was concealed by the aura of the volcanic secret realm and did not trigger the identification alarm of Yujing City." Yujing City is off-limits to living people. As long as the people do not have the aura of "living people", they are likely to go undetected.
Master Chonghui raised an objection: "Those were experiments from more than three thousand years ago. Perhaps Mother Earth has changed the conditions?"
"It's not impossible," He Lingchuan said, not denying it. "At that time, we will have the opportunity to conduct on-site testing."
He was willing to take a gamble, thinking that Mother Earth, in her most busy time, wouldn't have the time to check on every living being in the city.
The Earth Mother is now busy on two fronts: dealing with the impending attack from Mount Ling and launching an attack on the Panlong Secret Realm. She may also have to keep an eye on the Heavenly Demons' scheming. There are still tens of thousands of living beings in the city, and unless they cause trouble, she may not be able to attend to them all.
For infiltrators, this is certainly an adventure, but how many things in the world are guaranteed to succeed?
Master Chonghui was eager to move on to the next step: "Now, let's choose a suitable secret realm in the city to land in. According to the latest clues we have been collecting, there may be at least thirty-eight secret realms in Yujing City, of which more than seven have guardian spirits."
He Lingchuan didn't ask about the source of the clues, because that was precisely Lingshan's advantage, unmatched by any other force. Lingshan was home to too many old-timers, with broad knowledge and rich experience, some even having firsthand experience. If you wanted to find any clues, you could always get some useful answers by asking around.
If Lingshan wants to deal with the Earth Mother, then all the clues and details about the Earth Mother will gather together and become increasingly abundant.
Aunt Zhu replied, "Seven? That's really not many."
“Not every ruin has a secret realm, and not every secret realm has a guardian spirit. The birth and existence of guardian spirits are extremely rare. To have seven guardian spirits is actually quite an astonishing number.” Immortal Mingke was an authority in this field, and Aunt Zhu agreed with his statement.
"So, according to what we just said, the secret realm we landed in must have a guardian spirit?" Otherwise, the Earth Mother would take over all the other secret realms herself, and once they left the Cardamom Garden, their subsequent actions would not escape her perception.
“Yes, there must be.” Immortal Mingke clarified, “Guardian spirits are usually very stubborn beings. Their relationship with Mother Earth is not necessarily one of subordination or master-servant. When they close the door in their own secret realm, they are the masters of that small world and will act according to their own will.”
He continued, "Most guardian spirits are born and exist because of their obsessions. Mother Earth can hardly treat them like real living beings, ordering them around and enslaving them. Most of them are for research or as pets."
Mother Earth is a peculiar being, and no one can truly understand her mindset.
He Lingchuan immediately replied, "I don't think it's difficult."
Everyone immediately looked at him.
“When we attack the Panlong Secret Realm, guardian spirits like the Great Ghost Qingtu will definitely participate, and there will be more than one.” He looked at the sand table, where the seven secret realms had already lit up. “Once they leave their own secret realms, we can enter.”
Ling Jinbao instinctively slapped his thigh: "Brilliant!"
