Bewildering World, Ding Wei Area.
A sea beast that looked like a giant elephant was slowly moving forward.
It had a pair of snow-white tusks, two door-like ears, a long nose, and four thick limbs. If it weren't for the sharp and hideous bone spurs on its back and the streamlined fins on both sides, it would have looked exactly like an elephant.
In the right ear of this Thorn Elephant, a handsome young man with a sword sat cross-legged.
Of course, this was just an illusion created by the Mirage King's Pearl.
The left ear of the Thorn Elephant, where Jiang Wang's real body was, looked empty. It was actually covered by the Mirage King's Pearl.
With the level of the Spirit Concealment Snake, it was doubtful whether he could control the Sea Clan. After the evolution of the Sea Lord's True Form, it was even more impossible. However, it was still possible to swallow a few sea beasts that had no intelligence and replace them.
Jiang Wang had already divided out 34 Spirit Concealment Snakes to control different sea beasts and patrol the area he had designated.
With the sea beasts as the first layer of cover, he could seize the initiative in the battle with Granny Bizhu.
Jiang Wang, who was sitting in the left ear of the Thorn Elephant, held a small dressing mirror in his hand and immersed his mind in observing.
After passing the Flying Snow Tribulation, he could be said to have truly developed the various functions of the Red Makeup Mirror, such as the illusion and the observation ability. Of course, the most important thing now was the strengthening of his Spirit after passing the tribulation.
After passing the Overturning Sea Tribulation, the Red Makeup Mirror's observation range had increased from five miles to fifty miles.
After passing the Questioning Heart Tribulation, the observation range did not increase, but the observation ability was enhanced. In the past, the Red Makeup Mirror reflected everything in front of Jiang Wang's eyes. Things that Jiang Wang could not see clearly with the naked eye could not be seen through the Red Makeup Mirror. Now, the Red Makeup Mirror had already helped Jiang Wang distinguish the details. Things that could not be seen clearly with the naked eye could be seen more clearly through the Red Makeup Mirror's perspective. However, there was no accurate way to measure how much the observation ability had improved.
However, Jiang Wang himself was more concerned about another advancement. Now, he no longer needed to enter the mirror world to control the various functions of the Red Makeup Mirror.
In fact, Jiang Wang rarely chose to enter the Red Makeup Mirror to observe the outside world. It was because it was too dangerous for his physical body to reside in the mirror world. Once the Red Makeup Mirror was shattered, the body would be destroyed along with it. Although his physical body could jump out at any time, there was still a process. No matter how short it was, there was still the possibility of being caught.
Now, it was much safer. He only needed to hold the Red Makeup Mirror to observe his surroundings.
Jiang Wang used the Red Makeup Mirror to observe the outside world under the cover of the thorny elephant's left ear.
Fifty miles was not a long distance for the cultivators of the Outer Tower, but Jiang Wang was able to gain the upper hand in dealing with Hai Zongming with the Red Makeup Mirror, so it would not be useless against Granny Bizhu.
The only problem was that when he held the Red Makeup Mirror and observed the environment within fifty square kilometers directly, he felt a vague stinging in his soul. Of course, it wasn't intense. It was barely bearable. Vaguely, there was the sound of a woman crying. It wasn't very obvious and didn't appear often, but it did appear before.
Jiang Wang was well aware that this was the result of his Soul Origin being strengthened multiple times. If it was the old Hong Zhuang Mirror, the pain would not be as simple as just a piercing pain. Just the sound of her crying was enough to make him suffer. It was not impossible for his Soul Origin to collapse because of it.
The more familiar Jiang Wang was with the Red Makeup Mirror, the more he knew that the Red Makeup Mirror was not a treasure with great fortune. On the contrary, it carried deep resentment and was engraved with stubborn curses.
Why did he need to enter the mirror world with his physical body before he could use some of its functions? It was actually a kind of protection for the user of the Red Makeup Mirror. When the user was in the mirror world, the mirror world itself would isolate some negative effects. After entering the mirror world with his physical body, what was hidden in the vast fog outside the range of his exploration had yet to be discovered.
However, the Red Makeup Mirror itself was not a treasure with great fortune.
However, the use of an artifact depended on the user. Whether it was a resentment artifact or a fortune artifact depended on who was using it.
Hu Shaomeng used the Red Makeup Mirror, but he still died. Jiang Wang had the Red Makeup Mirror, but he had used it to escape many times.
Because of the negative effects of the Red Makeup Mirror, Jiang Wang had to stop every once in a while to cleanse his soul before entering the mirror to observe it again. It was not that he couldn't force himself to continue, but if he weakened himself to observe it, the gains would not make up for the losses.
When he stopped, he would explore the Inner Mansion and cultivate diligently.
Under normal circumstances, his choice would be to complete the cleansing as soon as possible and stay away from Granny Bizhu. After all, there was a gap between their combat strength.
However, for Jiang Wang, he would never let Granny Bizhu go. At the same time, from a practical point of view, Granny Bizhu's greed for him was uncontrollable. He wanted to avoid her, but she would not let him, so he had to make the first move.
In terms of pure combat strength, he was certainly no match for Granny Bizhu. However, a battle was not something that could be decided by comparing realms. A child with a knife could also kill an adult with a sneak attack.
Now that he was fully equipped, as long as he took the initiative, he might be able to kill this old woman.
To a certain extent, this was actually a competition of patience.
Granny Bizhu waited near the floating island, while Jiang Wang waited in the outer circle for the person who could not wait for the rabbit to leave.
Jiang Wang might not win in terms of patience, but he had another advantage, which was his fine control of his Dao Essence, which allowed him to resist the mutation longer than cultivators of the same realm.
That was the fine control that he had honed through "fighting" against the Perfected Ones of the present age.
As a result, even if Granny Bizhu waited patiently until the last day she predicted, Jiang Wang could still hold on for one more day.
He would definitely win the wait, and this would be the first step to his victory.
…
…
Life was a game after game. Some people won, and some lost.
It was the same for the whole race and the whole world.
For countless years, it should be said that the human race had firmly held the upper hand. After all, the sea race was "chased" to the sea back then, and after crossing two great eras, they still could not fight back.
The sea race gradually evolved into their current form in a difficult environment. Although they were stronger than before, this forced adaptation was proof of failure.
They could have lived in the rich and peaceful world of the Modern World, cruising in the tranquil coastal waters, and wandering in the clear and bright rivers. Now, they had to face all kinds of life and death crises in the harsh sea.
But then again, the sea race had not gone extinct yet, and would continue to exist for a long time in the foreseeable future. This was also proof of their strength.
The human race was supported by generations of Tianjiao, and the sea race also had generations of powerhouses who worked hard to turn the tide.
The sea race's sages who once created the original form of the Sea Lord were like this. Now, the sea race's powerhouse who always watched all the sea race and supported the rise of the sea race was also like this.
Or rather, Gao Jie. (Gao)
Not only did the human race know nothing about him, but there were also not many sea race members who truly understood him.
Wei Xun gave him the name Wan Li, and his real name was Gao Jie.
Lying in the deepest part of the sea, he watched every sea race member with billions of eyes that were constantly growing and dying.
