Chapter 2800 Solving One by One
"So I decided to go and see what was going on inside." At this point, Bao Chihai didn't care whether he was invading the Earth Mother's privacy, because there was a great battle outside the Dragon-Trapping Cave, and many coincidences were happening all at once. As everyone knows, there must be something fishy going on when things are abnormal.
What did you see?
“I struggled to clear a little of the purple mist before being blocked by the barrier of the Earth Mother’s dream. But through that small gap, I glimpsed the Earth Mother’s dream: a pitch-black fissure in the earth.” Bao Chihai swallowed hard. “And outside the fissure, at the edge of the Earth Mother’s dream, stood a figure. It looked like a woman, slender, but had four arms and enormous, butterfly-like wings on its back. The tails of those wings were very long, like ribbons—no, like the long tails of goldfish, swaying back and forth.”
He Lingchuan's eyes flashed, and he suddenly asked, "What color?"
“Purple, those wings are purple!” Bao Chihai replied immediately. “At first, I thought they were decorated with countless sequins because they would sparkle. But upon closer inspection, they weren’t sequins at all, but countless blinking eyes.”
"The figure stood at the edge of the crevice, looking down at Mother Earth, very calmly. But as soon as Mother Earth saw it, she roared and screamed, as if she wanted to tear the person to pieces, and frantically rammed into her dream barrier like a madwoman."
"The dream barrier blocked it four or five times in a row, but it only became more and more aggressive, and it seemed that Mother Earth had seen me. I gestured to it, telling it to calm down and that the enemy was standing right above it, so it shouldn't blindly crash into its own dream barrier. But my voice was blocked by the barrier and couldn't get through. A few breaths later, the purple mist drifted over and completely blocked its dream." Bao Chihai rubbed his face. "I think Mother Earth must have fallen into the other party's trap, which is why it shattered its own dream and rushed into the other party's territory. That's not its home ground; it's at a disadvantage there, and divine souls and dreams are not Mother Earth's forte."
Humanoid shape, butterfly wings, purple wings, blinking eyes? He Lingchuan seemed to have heard someone else mention these descriptions before, although the words were not as serious and rigorous as Bao Chihai's.
That person's description was:
Large fluttering moth.
That person was General Red. And this description points to a very special celestial demon—the Goddess of Illusionary Music.
The Goddess of Illusion is the ruler and administrator of the Dream Kingdom. If the Holy Venerable Lingxu sends her to steal the Earth Mother's soul and trap her in the Dream Kingdom, it would be a brilliant move.
Currently, He Lingchuan faces a triple predicament:
Jia Loutian led his demon horde to invade the Panlong Secret Realm and is currently attacking the south gate of the city.
Bai Zhantian and Tong Mingzhenjun are on their way here. Once they join up with Jia Loutian, the difficulty of defending He Lingchuan's secret realm will skyrocket.
The Earth Mother's soul was taken to the Dream Kingdom of the Goddess of Illusion, leaving the entire Earth Mother Plain in an idle, unresponsive state, unable to truly cooperate with He Lingchuan in defending against the enemy.
In contrast, He Lingchuan's situation is far from optimistic:
He traveled alone across mountains and rivers, his forces severely outnumbered. Compared to the three Great Heavenly Demons and dozens of Heavenly Demons, Cang Yan's few immortals and two thousand guards appeared extremely weak.
He Lingchuan was overwhelmed and had to make a choice within a limited time.
The Jialoutian below the city can be temporarily handed over to the Dayan Heavenly Pearl to delay and deal with, which is his advantage as the master of the secret realm;
Then you have to choose one of the remaining two options:
Should we deal with Bai Zhantian and Tong Ming Zhenjun first, or rescue the Earth Mother's soul first?
To be honest, he wasn't sure about either option.
Combat in dreams was definitely not his forte, especially since this wasn't an ordinary dream, but the exclusive divine realm of the Heavenly Demon, where countless strange and bizarre things awaited him. He Lingchuan wasn't even sure if he could come out once he went in;
As for Bai Zhantian and Tong Mingzhenjun, either of them is a formidable opponent on their own, and together they would be an even more troublesome combination. Even He Lingchuan in his prime would have to avoid their sharp edge, let alone now that his soul is injured and he is in poor condition.
He Lingchuan hesitated for only two breaths before making up his mind.
“The Earth Mother has been lured into the dreamlike realm of the Goddess of Illusion. We must find a way to rescue her, otherwise we will soon lose our home-field advantage on the Earth Mother Plains.” He Lingchuan asked Bao Chihai, “Can you find the entrance to the dream realm?”
Only by rescuing Mother Earth can he regain some initiative in this difficult battle.
If they can't be saved, then it's all over.
“Yes,” Bao Chihai said, “but we can’t get in; it’s outside the plains.”
They are the night wanderers of the plains and cannot leave the plains.
"It's alright, as long as you can find it."
He Lingchuan was refused entry by Da Fanghu for over ten years before finally returning to the Panlong World. During this time, Da Fanghu gave him the reason that his soul had been taken by the Goddess of Illusionary Music, leaving only an empty shell on the ground, and thus he had been asleep for over five years. In the end, it was General Hong who found and broke through the Goddess of Illusionary Music's divine kingdom, bringing his soul back.
He initially thought it was just a minor, unimportant event. Little did he know that the Goddess of Illusion would actually appear in reality and even plot against the Earth Mother.
Thinking of this, he felt a little relieved. In the Panlong World, Huanle couldn't kill the "Tiger Wing General's" soul; she could only trap him in her own divine kingdom. By analogy, the real-world goddess Huanle was unlikely to directly lure and kill the Earth Mother's soul; at most, she could only try her best to trap it in the Dream Kingdom... for a while.
What He Lingchuan and his men need to do is bring back the Earth Mother's soul so that the entire Earth Mother Plain can truly unleash its defensive power. Without the Earth Mother herself, the little stone men's attacks are very rigid, relying on only a few routines, which the Heavenly Demon is almost able to figure out.
Now that the decision has been made to save Mother Earth first, there is still one pressing issue that must be addressed:
He had to find a way to hold off Bai Zhantian and Tong Mingzhenjun's forces.
The teams led by these two great demons are almost at the entrance of the Panlong Secret Realm.
He Yue volunteered: "Big brother, I'll go."
He had previously ambushed this demonic army in the secret realm, but his own forces suffered heavy losses. However, in order to buy his brother more time, he was willing to muster his courage and face the two great demons again.
Having spent so long by He Chunhua's side, this younger brother hasn't gone astray; he's still a responsible and courageous man. He Lingchuan patted his shoulder with satisfaction:
"No need."
Now that the master of the secret realm has returned, the people of Cangyan no longer need to be so passive.
He snapped his fingers and summoned the little stone golem, saying to it, "I want to change the location of the Panlong Ruins."
"Where should we go instead?"
"North." He Lingchuan knew the entire Earth Mother Plain like the back of his hand; he knew the location without even looking at a map.
