Chapter 13: Mysterious Space, Empty Valley
After setting up a barrier outside the courtyard to prevent his aura from leaking out, he took out the Fire Jiao demon pill he had treasured for a long time. This seventh-order Fire Jiao demon pill, d...(A mysterious space has appeared. This article is about the settings of this mysterious space. It's not the kind that is very *deviant*, it's just a tool for cultivators to gain an advantage. The path of cultivation is fraught with danger, and without a cheat, it's really hard to get by.)
In a hazy expanse, a formless consciousness, like a headless fly, drifted aimlessly. Everything was shrouded in a faint mist, with no end in sight.

> Who am I
“Where am I again How did I get here”
The formless consciousness drifted through the mist, unsure how long it had been floating. There was nothing but white mist.
It felt terribly lonely and wanted to scream, instinctively opening its mouth, but it realized it couldn't make a sound at all.
A golden lightning bolt, as thick as a bucket, streaked across the sky. It was followed by an earth-shattering tremor, as if that massive bolt of lightning had cleaved through the mist.
It finally saw something other than mist. It was a shock, just the majesty of golden lightning and boundless destructive power. It felt that if it simply approached and was struck by the golden lightning, it would be reduced to ashes, nothing left at all. It was an instinctive fear.
The earth-shattering tremor continued, still echoing with deafening roars that left me disoriented.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Xia Tian woke up from the blur. Looking in amazement at the clear world before him, he found it strangely similar to the previous canyon, except the ground was smooth and bare, with no grass or trees, only stones and soil.
A thin layer of mist enveloped the surroundings. Although it wasn't as dense as before, one couldn't see very far.

How did he suddenly find himself back in the canyon Wasn't he on that small platform at the edge of the cliff Lu Xia Tian suddenly remembered this question, feeling bewildered. But as he looked down, he was startled to realize he was several feet above the ground. He had been floating all along.

Is he dead Is he now in a soul state Lu Xia Tian was astonished. A thought crossed his mind, and he floated out dozens of feet away, moving quite fast.
He made up his mind to investigate what this place was. However, after drifting for a while, he came across a transparent membrane-like barrier. It didn't offer much resistance. He passed through it in an instant. As soon as he crossed the barrier, Lu Xiaoteng felt a powerful suction force pulling him in. A bone-deep pain made Lu Xiaoteng cry out, as if his body was being torn apart by this tearing force. But the force was too great, leaving Lu Xiaoteng no room to resist.

"Could it be that I'm really going to die" Lu Xia Tian felt a wave of despair in his heart. Just then, the surrounding mist churned and swirled, flowing towards Lu Xia Tian like threads, enveloping his soul and forming a spherical mist shield. At this moment, Lu Xia Tian finally felt the suction force completely disappear.
“What a terrifying power,” Lu Xia Tian’s heart pounded in fear. After the shock, Lu Xia Tian was also somewhat surprised by this mist. What was it that had protected him Where did it come from Lu Xia Tian racked his brains but naturally couldn't find an answer. Since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't bother anymore. Being able to survive was a good thing after all.
..............
"Achoo!" After an unknown amount of time, Lu Xia Tian shivered and subconsciously opened his eyes. He found that his body was already soaked wet.
"What was that mysterious space just now, I felt like I was floating the whole time."
Lu Xia Tian scratched his head, thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out. He could only remember eating a green fruit before falling unconscious. Then, his whole body felt like it was about to burst, and he lost consciousness. Perhaps he had fallen asleep afterward. So, he attributed everything that just happened to a dream.

Wearing wet clothes against your skin is very uncomfortable. With no one around, Lu Xia Tian quickly stripped off his clothes and wanted to hang them on the vines to dry in the mountain breeze. However, he discovered that all the vines on the cliff face were withered and yellowed, showing no signs of life. Looking up at the top of the sheer cliff, the valley which was usually shrouded in mist and clouds was now clear and sunny. There wasn't even a hint of fog

“What on earth happened in this valley It’s truly strange.” Lu Xiaoteng muttered to himself.
After half an hour, his clothes were dry. He hurriedly put them on, though there was no one around, he still wasn't used to being naked.
My stomach was rumbling again. Lu Xia Tian touched his belly and looked at the cliff top, thinking to himself that he must have slept for a whole night. There was nothing to eat here, and if he waited any longer, even if the wolves left, he would be too hungry to climb up.
After all, this small platform was still nearly twenty feet away from the top. And the place where the vines grew was still five or six feet away from the clifftop. It wouldn't be easy to get up there.
Having made up his mind, he decided to take the risk anyway. He inserted his short sword into his belt and tied one end of the broken rope around his waist. He then circled the other end around his arms like a sling.
Having done these things, he pulled at the vines with both hands, feeling their sturdiness, then climbed upward using his hands and feet.
These vines, some of which had withered for a while, were still predominantly green yesterday. Yet, something must have happened because they all turned yellow overnight. Even the few trees on the cliff lost their vitality and withered away in one night.

After cultivating the Hun Yuan Jing, Lu Xia Tian's physique was several times better than before. He climbed dozens of feet and didn't feel tired at all.
He wedged his legs between a sturdy vine and used a rope to secure one end of his short sword. He then grabbed the sword and hurled it towards the nearest dead tree on the cliff edge. He repeated this several times, but it missed until the fifth attempt, when the sword attached to the rope landed on a branch of the large tree, spun around once, and Lu Xia Tian pulled hard. The sword got stuck in the branch and didn't fall. His heart leapt with joy, he climbed up along the rope and nimbly jumped to the ground. He saw no wolves, but everything before him left him stunned.

Having spent nearly a year in this canyon, I was already familiar with everything it had to offer. It was perpetually shrouded in mist, with tigers roaring and monkeys screeching incessantly. The area was overgrown with weeds and trees.
But right now, the sun is blazing in the sky, shining directly down. There isn't a trace of mist anywhere. The flowers, trees, and plants in the valley are all withered and dead, with no signs of life at all. Everything feels so strange and unfamiliar.

Since he couldn't figure out what had happened, Lu Xia Tian also didn't bother thinking about it anymore. Since this valley had become a barren wasteland, he might as well leave and talk about it later.

He untied his short sword from the rope, taking his only weapon with him, and quickly left. After leaving the valley entrance two days ago, he had walked at least dozens of miles on foot alone. It would likely take a while to get there just by walking. That day, he channeled his energy into his eyes, greatly increasing his vision. If he channeled his magic into his steps, would it have any effect
With such a question in mind, Lu Xia Tian tried to run the qi within his dantian to his feet. Suddenly, his leg strength seemed to increase several times over. With one step, he covered nearly half a zhang. He was delighted. Among the disciples of the Lei Dao sect before, not many could achieve this speed.
He had discovered another use for qi, which filled Lu Xia Tian with great excitement. His successes in a row made his heart swell with ambition. Even if the old man in black robes didn't want to teach him, he could figure out how to use qi himself. This must be what they called Xianjutsu.
Lu Xiaoxiao thought to himself, "I haven't gone back in the past two days. There should be only a few small green ants left. I might as well take advantage of the black-robed elder's absence and escape from the valley directly. Otherwise, if he comes back, he won't kill me."
However, the distance to the cave dwelling was only three or four miles. Just as he was about to flee out of the canyon with a burst of speed, Lu Xiaoteng's figure suddenly stopped. its massive, swollen body shaking violently after each hit.As a tenth-order demon beast, its intelligence was already no different from that of ordinary people. However, it had previously fought with...
