"To enter the ghost ship, one must defeat an even stronger version of oneself. There are no other dark creatures emerging yet, otherwise this little angel would probably have already perished here!" Noah chuckled with a smug look on his face.
"Is there a solution?" Fuxi asked. Noah's understanding of dark creatures far surpassed that of all of them.
"Solve it? Just deceive them, right? The mirror image is only a matter of a moment!" Noah shrugged and said. There are already countless ways to deal with such a low-level tactic.
"That's easy? I'll give it a try!" Taishan was taken aback. He immediately withdrew his power and prepared to land on the ghost ship, but Noah stopped him!
“The solution is simple, but that doesn’t mean the operation is simple. Let’s rescue that angel first. Simply suppressing your own power like this won’t work!” Noah said helplessly.
Upon hearing his words, Zhulong immediately took action, using his immense power to pull the angel aboard. The mirror image that emerged from the cabin seemed unable to leave the ghost ship's deck, and could only stand aside and gaze into the distance before reluctantly returning to the cabin.
"What do you think? Did these mirror images disappear after returning to the ghost ship? Or...?" Fuxi asked, looking at the mirror angels walking into the cabin from the deck.
"That depends on their subsequent technology. It may exist or it may dissipate. Of course, if nothing unexpected happens, when they descend onto the deck again, a new mirror image will appear. This is probably the condition for triggering the mirror image!" Noah replied. At this moment, the angel was being taken back to the rear, where others helped him recover his spirit and injuries.
"What method are you talking about to fool the ghost ship?" Ye Jun asked. The principle behind it wasn't important; what mattered most was being able to resolve the ghost ship's crisis.
“It’s similar to your previous method, but what you suppressed before was only your own spiritual energy, that is, you lowered the energy level. But you forgot that your bodies also have corresponding energy levels, and even your souls do the same,” Noah explained.
"Especially the soul. After all, this is a ghost ship. If I'm not mistaken, its detection of the soul is equally rigorous. If any one of them exceeds the standard, it will use the strongest one as the standard for the mirror image."
"This is also why that angel couldn't defeat his own mirror image. After all, the real plank in the barrel is the one we can exert the most power on, while the opponent's barrel was intact!"
How much power a person can exert is not determined by their strongest or weakest point. Just like a broken wooden bucket, how much water it can hold is not determined by how tall the bucket is, but by how tall the broken plank is.
Therefore, after hearing Noah's words, even the sixth-tier members below understood that the strength of one's power level is often a reflection of one's energy level, and energy level is not the whole picture of strength.
“Every living being has essence, energy, and spirit, and these three complement each other. Most cultivators focus on cultivating energy, but neglect the body and soul that carry energy. Even the few who are proficient in one aspect are often the ones who end up being taught a lesson by these dark beings!” After understanding the key point, Fuxi couldn’t help but sigh.
This principle has long been recorded in the books of the library, but it has never been truly valued, which is why we are now helpless in the face of ghost ships.
"Now that we know the method, the rest is simple. Everyone, get ready and let's go in together!" Zhulong said.
They usually suppress their strength, which is very effective when sparring or dealing with secret realms that restrict strength. Such a comprehensive suppression is very rare, but it is not impossible. The cultivation of the various races in the prehistoric world is a comprehensive improvement.
Especially for those like Mount Tai and Zhulong who have entered the ranks of immortals, they only need to temporarily suppress and block the boost from the Investiture of the Gods. Once they board the ghost ship, they can unleash this power and defeat their former selves.
Only Jian Mengyi's hundred angels looked at everyone with blank expressions. They did not have the concept of spirit, energy, or vitality. Although they understood the principle, it was difficult to grasp it in a short period of time.
"So you see! The arrogance and conceit of the angel race are well-known. You should learn humility and the pursuit of knowledge and truth!" Noah said with a sigh as he looked at them. The angels gritted their teeth and dared not refute him, after all, they were indeed somewhat outmatched this time.
Fortunately, Noah now rules Fengdu City and has extremely strong control over souls. With a wave of his hand, he weakened their soul power, and all the angels immediately appeared extremely weak, as if they had been fighting all night.
"Won't there be any problems with them doing this?" Taishan asked curiously, since he hadn't suppressed them himself, and the weakened souls weren't in their own hands.
"Don't worry, we only took a portion of their soul power. The weakening of their souls caused the dissipation of their full power. They just need to suppress their physical strength. However, once they get on the ghost ship, they will need some time to recover their energy levels!" Noah explained, ignoring the group of angels. After suppressing his power, he landed on the deck with the others.
Compared to the ghost ship, which was as large as half a planet, the arrival of the group was inconspicuous. If they hadn't landed directly outside the cabin, they probably wouldn't have even been able to see where the cabin was.
The whispered words immediately echoed in everyone's minds, and boundless terror spread through their hearts. However, since everyone landed together this time, it was much better than the angel they had just encountered.
"Bang!" The wooden doors outside the cabin suddenly opened, and dark, shadowy figures emerged from them, exuding an ominous aura that sent chills down one's spine.
"A sinister thing!" Ye Jun snorted coldly, breaking free from his suppression of power. Terrifying solar flames erupted, instantly incinerating all the mirror images, leaving only their own images barely holding on.
"It really worked!" The angel who had spoken earlier looked pleased, but quickly shut his mouth as soon as he finished speaking, afraid that he would get into trouble for talking too much. He breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that no one was paying attention to him.
"Roar!" However, not long after he finished speaking, a series of low roars suddenly rang out from the ghost ship.
"Bang!" The tightly closed wooden door opened again, and this time even more dark creatures emerged from it, roaring and charging towards the group.
