In the once peaceful Demon Tomb, it had now turned into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, all for the sake of competing for an object that they had not even seen yet, the Control Key of the Demon Tomb.
Although the battles between the people of the Righteous Path and the Evil Cultivators were fierce, they could only be considered minor skirmishes compared to the fight between the Daoist Sect Leader and the Evil Ridge Sect Leader.
The Central Hall was personally constructed by the Heavenly Demon Sect. Although the Daoist Sect Leader and the Evil Ridge Sect Leader fought with true fire, they did not cause significant damage to the entire hall; only the spaces throughout the hall began to shatter one by one, causing Ling Mo Xie and his companions in a small space to feel a bit hurried and flustered.
However, with the Evil Ridge Sect Leader being restrained by the Daoist Sect Leader, Ling Mo Xie and his group were relieved of many burdens and quickly arrived at a small space where the Control Key of the Demon Tomb was placed.
From other small spaces looking into that area, they could only see it as a colorful little light sphere, which looked quite different from other spaces. Luo Yan led several people directly into it.
Upon entering the small space, Ling Mo Xie's first impression was that this was indeed something built by the Heavenly Demon Sect using a world seed. It was completely different from other spaces; it felt like another world altogether, with a sun, flowers, grass, and trees—everything that should be there was present, unlike the monotonous simplicity of other spaces.
Moreover, this space was much more stable than other small spaces in the hall. Once they entered this space, they could no longer feel the violent tremors caused by the battle between the Daoist Sect Leader and the Evil Ridge Sect Leader.
It seemed that this small space was completely unaffected by their fight.
This was understandable; since the Heavenly Demon Sect placed the Control Key of the Demon Tomb in this space, it must be sufficiently stable.
"Where should we go now? This place... feels like another world. Where are we supposed to find that tiny Control Key of the Demon Tomb? It's like searching for a needle in a haystack!"
As soon as they entered, everyone was stunned by what seemed like another world before them and remained silent for a long time. It was Ling Mo Xie who reacted first; recalling their main objective, he asked Luo Yan.
Luo Yan also seemed unsure about their situation here. He looked around and said, "I don't know where to go either. However, it's said that there are many guardians of the Control Key of the Demon Tomb. Let's first explore this little world!"
The place where they initially entered was a dense little forest, not much different from those in the Cultivation World. There were even sounds of insects and birds chirping, which made Ling Mo Xie feel as if he had crossed over again. But from Luo Yan's words, he understood that this was merely a more complete space compared to other small spaces they had traversed before; it could not be called a world yet—it was merely a vassal existence to the Cultivation World. If the Cultivation World ceased to exist, this small space would also vanish.
A so-called world is a complete space that can exist independently.
Upon arriving here, they found themselves at a loss for direction. Although they felt anxious inside, there was no specific destination to rush towards. They unanimously agreed to leave this little forest first to see what this small world was like.
This wasn't difficult; the little forest wasn't very large, and they quickly walked out.
After exiting the little forest, what came into view was a vast prairie adorned with beautiful flowers.
However, instead of immersing themselves in this beautiful scenery, they felt even more confused. After passing through a forest, there was now a prairie—where exactly could the Control Key of the Demon Tomb be hidden?
"We should fly up and take a look at the whole little space!" Ling Mo Xie paused as he gazed at the grassland before him, then turned to the others and began to channel his Spiritual Energy in preparation for takeoff.
However, to his surprise, even though he was channeling his Spiritual Energy, his body did not rise as expected. This meant that flying was impossible here?
The others clearly sensed this as well and looked towards Luo Yan, who was undoubtedly the most knowledgeable about this place.
Yet, Luo Yan seemed equally puzzled. With a look of confusion and helplessness, he said to Ling Mo Xie and the others, "I don't know what's going on either. Moreover, have you noticed? Although we can still channel our Spiritual Energy, the power of the Spells we cast is pitifully weak. Fire-type Spells are like setting off Fireworks, and Water-type Spells feel like a light drizzle. Both of these basic Spells are like this; other Spells are even worse."
The group quickly tried casting their Spells, and sure enough, it was just as Luo Yan had said. They fell silent; after all, they were Cultivators, and Spells were their lifelines. Their courage to venture here relied on having Spells at their disposal. Without them, they might not even have the basic ability to protect themselves.
"The rules of heaven and earth here are incomplete." After a long while, Ling Mo Xie finally spoke up. The others looked at him in confusion upon hearing his sudden remark.
Ling Mo Xie then explained in detail: "I've been to the Heavenly Sound Secret Realm before, which enhanced my sensitivity to the rules of heaven and earth. I can feel that although many basic rules exist in this space—allowing for flowers, grass, trees, and even soil and sunlight—compared to the Cultivation World, they are still too incomplete. This has significantly reduced the power of our Spells; some might even be unusable because our Spells rely on the rules of heaven and earth for their existence."
After listening to Ling Mo Xie's explanation, everyone fell silent again. There had been too many unexpected changes since entering this small space.
"Now I actually wish that the Evil Ridge Sect Leader could come in with us. Here, his Spells would probably be a joke; with so many of us together, we could overwhelm him with sheer numbers!" Xu Qingfeng joked as he noticed the atmosphere had grown quiet and everyone was lost in thought.
Ling Mo Xie chuckled lightly and replied, "That's true. However, if he's that Not Bad, his physique must be extraordinary too; he would definitely be tough to deal with!"
"Well then, given the circumstances, we can only proceed this way. Let's hurry up and find the Control Key for the Demon Tomb!" Ling Mo Xie said to lighten the mood.
At that moment, red clouds appeared on the horizon as dusk fell; it was already evening.
The others knew Ling Mo Xie was right—not only were they in this situation now, but they also had no way out except to keep searching.
Luo Yan forced a smile and said, "Right now, we're probably no different from ordinary people. It's too unsafe at night; we should find a place to rest first and set out again at dawn!"
Ling Mo Xie nodded in agreement. "I hadn't considered that. We currently lack sufficient self-defense capabilities, and we don't know what dangers await us in this small space. As Luo Yan suggested, let's find a place to rest and depart tomorrow. After all, now that we're here, even if the Evil Ridge Sect Leader were present, he wouldn't be much better off than us; there's no need to rush."
Both points made sense; Xu Qingfeng and Hong Chi had no reason to disagree. As for Shen Yan, he was merely along for the ride; if Ling Mo Xie hadn't mentioned that there might be high-quality incense left by ancient inhabitants in the Demon Tomb, he wouldn't have bothered coming at all.
Before them lay a vast grassland—flat and expansive. The group finally managed to find a tree on the prairie where they set up their tent and arranged their belongings beneath it.
Fortunately, although the rules of heaven and earth here are incomplete, it is itself a small space, and the spatial rules are probably the most complete among them. The Storage Ring can still be used, which gives them some confidence. Who knows what is stored in a Cultivator's Storage Ring? Perhaps it contains everything.
Anyway, Ling Mo Xie and the others prepared quite a few items for this trip into the Demon Tomb, including essential living supplies.
After setting up the camp, they also built several traps nearby. Currently, they are not much stronger than ordinary people. If there are not only flowers and trees but also ferocious beasts in this space, it could be quite dangerous for them, especially while they are asleep.
Nightfall soon arrived. The night here is no different from that in the Cultivation World; they can even see the stars twinkling in the sky. A gentle breeze passes by, bringing a hint of coolness to their hearts.
"Awoo!" A long howl broke the tranquility of the night. Ling Mo Xie, who had been lying quietly gazing at the translucent full moon in the starry sky, suddenly turned over and stood up. With a somewhat grim expression, he said to the others who had come out of their tents after hearing the howl, "It seems our predictions have come true. This world has developed quite well; not only are there flowers and trees, but even ferocious beasts have emerged."
"From the sound, it resembles that of wolves. I wonder if they behave like wolves and move in packs. If that's the case, it could be troublesome. Right now, if we encounter just a few wolves, it might be manageable, but if there are many..." Luo Yan said with concern.
Soon, responding to that long howl were successive calls that made everyone's expressions even darker: "Indeed, it sounds similar to wolves; they must be moving in packs. From that sound, they're not far from us and are likely surrounding us. Pack your things quickly; we need to leave!" Ling Mo Xie decisively instructed everyone.
If they were in the Cultivation World, dealing with wolves would be as easy as waving their hands to eliminate a large group. But now, they don't have that capability.
Fire spells that originally focused on attack power have become mere fireworks displays; other spells can be imagined as ineffective as well. Only sword-type spells might still have some use, but techniques like Ten Thousand Swords Returning to One cannot be utilized anymore.
The group did not dare to delay. They packed their belongings and quickly ran forward with Ling Mo Xie in a specific direction.
