Chapter 2384 Beacon of the Secret Realm
At that moment, three bird demons were simultaneously shot down from the sky. Neither side paid attention to the movement of the azure-feathered eagle, nor did anyone care which direction it fell—it was actually heading towards a small, shimmering blue lake below!
Beneath the surface of the lake lies the secret realm of the placoderms!
The placoderm originally lived in the ocean, but after its remains were moved into the Jade Capital City, it could only materialize into a lake.
With a "plop," the Azure Feathered Eagle fell into the lake.
It landed on the calm lake surface, making very little splash, and then sank down.
The lake water was crystal clear, and the lakebed was clean, not a series of ravines. After swimming for a dozen breaths, the Azure Feathered Eagle saw a deep, long ravine before it, so deep that even light from the water's surface couldn't penetrate it.
It immediately dived down.
He Lingchuan had given instructions before the operation that the entrance to the secret realm was mostly in the form of pits, caves, or doors.
It's unclear how deep it's dived, but light shines through its eyes.
The blue-feathered eagle swam over with all its might, and a flash of blue light seemed to appear before its eyes. Instantly, the pressure it felt in its body was different!
This is also underwater, but the surrounding scenery has changed. There are coral reefs everywhere, and the seaweed attached to them sways rhythmically with the coming and going of the waves.
Colorful little fish darted in and out of the seaweed, some with particularly vibrant bodies and stripes. Upon seeing the uninvited guests, they immediately hid.
This is not a lake.
Where do the tides come from in the lake?
The Azure Feathered Eagle knew it had come to the right place and immediately released the crystal die it was holding in its claws.
It is transparent on all six sides, but there seems to be some impurities flowing in the middle.
As soon as the Azure Feathered Eagle shook its body, seven or eight more people appeared in the sea around it.
It was the immortals of Lingshan, He Lingchuan, and Aunt Zhu.
"This is the secret realm of the Shielded Fish." Before everyone could even look around, Venerable Mingyao said to He Lingchuan, "It's up to you now, the sooner the better."
The Panlong Secret Realm might buy them some time, but once the Shieldfish returns, they'll be in big trouble.
He Lingchuan nodded and dived into the sea to begin his search.
To outsiders, the underwater landscape appears incredibly complex, especially with its intricately arranged and layered reefs, truly resembling an underwater palace. How can the naked eye possibly discern reality from illusion?
That being said, if the underwater secrets of the placoderms weren't unique, why would Mother Earth collect them?
He Lingchuan reached out and gently patted his chest; he was patting the Divine Bone Necklace.
For a long time, this had been his cheating tool. The Divine Bone Necklace's ability to locate objects had never failed.
Furthermore, the Great Pot had a great harvest in the Upside-Down Sea, and had deeply understood the "illusion" of the Thousand Illusions True Man and the "truth" of the Wonderful Heaven, so it should not be difficult for it to find the "real thing" in the Secret Realm of the Shield Fish.
This is the source of He Lingchuan's confidence in making such a promise.
After activating the Divine Bone Necklace, when he travels the seabed again, he will see red light flashing occasionally among the reefs and seaweed.
He moves the obstacle aside and discovers that the glittering object could be a snail shell, a coral reef, a porous volcanic rock, or even a handful of crystal sand.
He Lingchuan also found a thin needle, about two fingers long, in the cave, which was also flashing red.
He pulled it out and took a look.
In the past, when searching for items using the Divine Bone Necklace, it would emit light and vibrate to help He Lingchuan narrow down the search area, but he still had to make his own judgments. Unlike now, the necklace can directly add an aura to the target.
He Lingchuan won't have to go through any trouble; he'll get his hands on him in one go.
Of course, this was not a benefit given to him by the Divine Bone Necklace, but rather because his relationship with the Great Square Pot had deepened, allowing it to provide more direct hints; moreover, he inherited Zhong Shengguang's secret realm, and his understanding of the laws of illusion and reality had reached a new level.
After searching for ten items, he turned and swam towards the immortals, giving one to each of them.
Master Chongyao looked at the fine needle in his hand, "What... what is this?"
"It's most likely a fish bone."
"...Are you sure?" Just now, everyone saw him rummaging around on the seabed, picking and choosing, and then he came back with a pile of junk.
To be honest, they couldn't see anything special about these things.
He Lingchuan didn't explain, "Let's go out and do an experiment."
Venerable Mingyao somehow produced a dried lizard, which was shriveled up, but after being soaked in water, it quickly swelled up and, after a dozen breaths, turned into a normal little lizard that could even flick its tongue.
Venerable Mingyao tied the small seashell given to him by He Lingchuan to the lizard and then released it from the secret realm.
"Let's see how far it can go."
If the little lizard is discovered as soon as it leaves the secret realm, they will have to change their next plan.
Everyone waited in silence, their hearts pounding in their chests.
After a short while, Venerable Mingyao opened his eyes slightly: "It's still here, it hasn't been caught."
After another dozen or so breaths, the little lizard successfully returned to the secret realm.
"It seems that Immortal Mingke's deduction is correct. Objects tainted with the aura of the secret realm can indeed conceal our whereabouts."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Now, let's split up and act separately."
So everyone was divided into groups according to the pre-arranged plan.
Ming Ke Xianren, Ling Jinbao, He Lingchuan, and Aunt Zhu formed a group and went to Duzhi Mountain;
The others joined another group to find the white house in the dungeon.
As the group left the underwater secret realm of the placoderms and was about to set off, the ground suddenly began to shake, and the buildings in front of them began to shift!
Everyone's first reaction was that they had been exposed.
However, Immortal Mingke pointed to the tower thirty feet away and whispered, "Don't panic, it's just a layout adjustment in Jade Capital City. If the Earth Mother had discovered us, she would have already caught up with us!"
Every so often, the Earth Mother would adjust the terrain and buildings of Jade Capital City to prevent her opponents from drawing up a map for her.
The mystery and unknown nature of Yujing City is its greatest trump card.
However, this temporary adjustment caused trouble for He Lingchuan and the others.
Where were Duzhishan and the entrance to the underground city moved to?
Venerable Mingyao wanted to use a megaphone to contact True Man Sihai and ask him to help him see clearly. After all, they were in the city, while True Man Sihai could have a panoramic view of the entire city from a high vantage point.
But Immortal Mingke immediately stopped her: "No! Unexpected fluctuations in magical power within the city could attract the attention of the Earth Mother."
Can't we use supernatural powers on the road? What should we do then?
He Lingchuan immediately patted the blue-feathered eagle on his shoulder: "Fly up into the sky and take a look for us, but you don't need to come back."
Two ascents and descents could easily arouse the Earth Mother's suspicion.
Aunt Zhu put something into its mouth, and Xiao An, who had transformed into a blue-feathered eagle, shook its wings and soared into the sky.
It only opened its mouth after leaving the Earth Mother's barrier.
A tiny eyeball spider crawled out of its mouth, jumped onto the head of the Azure Feathered Eagle, and looked down at the Jade Capital City below.
The city layout had indeed changed drastically, completely different from when He Lingchuan and the others set off, with various buildings arranged in a random combination.
This scene was also simultaneously observed by He Lingchuan and Aunt Zhu.
This is not a magical power, but rather an innate talent of the Cave Queen, which does not generate magical fluctuations.
