Chapter 2540: The Laws of the Small World

These ones, some have six tentacles, some have eight tentacles, one of them has a beautiful strawberry-pink base color, and even the small dots on its back are a deeper shade, its whole body covered in spine-like protrusions; another one is a hexagon, deep blue with orange spots, a very fashionable color clash.

These things, even after leaving the water, are still wriggling, showing abundant vitality. He Lingchuan didn't say a word, just stuffed them into the nutmeg garden.

Dong Rui and several great powers are in the nutmeg garden, they must really want to analyze these few starfish.

The blood demon then said:

"I toured two terraced fields, confirmed that the water used in the fields is all living water, and it's not salty or bland, it's seawater!"

He Lingchuan nodded almost imperceptibly, so the lake water on the mountaintop is actually seawater brought in from outside? No wonder the heavenly demon built this secret base by the sea, raising sea products is indeed best with seawater.

"In the terraced fields, it's all this kind of thing." The blood demon also found it strange, "The sea disk chariots come in large and small, the small ones are only egg-sized, the large ones exceed a beach ball, I even saw one watermelon-sized! In terms of shape, there are pentagonal, octagonal, and even dodecagonal! Colors range from orange to blue, from berry pink to purple, and even patterned ones, just like an overturned paint palette."

The mirror said strangely: "The heavenly demon, behind everyone's backs, painstakingly set up in Misty Cloud Bay, turns out to be a starfish farm?"

He Lingchuan only asked one question:

"Do these sea disk chariots devour each other?"

"I saw seven or eight sea disk chariots clinging together, piled in a heap. The overseer on the side rushed over, whipped the laborers' heads twice, urging them to quickly separate the starfish." The blood demon said, "In that short while, two starfish had already been gnawed halfway, but the ones that gnawed them were eating while growing larger, visible to the naked eye."

"Real starfish, how could they grow this fast?" The mirror also understood, but his voice still full of surprise, "Don't tell me, this is the Hidden God Lord!"

The blood demon chuckled: "Even if it's not the Hidden God Lord, it's inseparable from it. Don't forget, this Spirit Essence Palace exists precisely to create the heavenly demon's fleshly vessel for the Divine Descent Plan."

He Lingchuan said nothing, only together with Xiao An, honestly repairing the field ridges.

At this time, it's most inappropriate to attract outside attention.

Just then, a tiny beetle in the soil was turned up by Xiao An's hoe, she instinctively stopped to observe:

"Eh, why are there bugs here?"

"It seems the inspection of that 'Cloud Terrace' outside also has omissions." He Lingchuan pondered, "Besides that, insect eggs are just very hard to define in form."

Saying insect eggs are living things, they might lack consciousness; but saying they aren't living things, they clearly contain vitality.

And the large amount of materials inside the Spirit Essence Palace are all transported from the outside world, this contains how many parasites, microscopic organisms, and insect eggs? If the Cloud Terrace insists, wanting to dig them all out, then this place couldn't possibly operate normally.

During the two people's quiet conversation, the little beetle still wanted to struggle back into the soil, but it lost its footing, didn't grip the earth firmly, and actually floated upward!

Is this a beetle, or a balloon?

He Lingchuan furrowed his brows.

Even if the beetle is light, in a windless environment it shouldn't float upward like a hydrogen balloon.

But the surrounding soil, plants, and seawater, all honestly stay put on the ground, with not the slightest abnormality.

All the laborers, demons, and farmers here also haven't floated up.

He Lingchuan then said to Xiao An: "Keep working, pay more attention to observation."

The two worked for another half hour or so, this time He Lingchuan dug up a tiny earthworm.

He pulled the earthworm out of the soil, placed it on his palm.

The earthworm also, like the beetle just now, floated up vaguely, just like a jellyfish on the sea surface.

This time it was the blood demon's turn to be surprised: "What's going on, a barrier?"

The mirror also had a reaction:

"Mm……uh……ah……Could it be?"

"Hurry up and fart!" The blood demon just disliked this movement, "Don't make those weird noises."

"We're no longer in reality." The Soul-Capturing Mirror, usually less knowledgeable than the blood demon, finally got a chance to show off, how could he let it go, "You guess where this is?"

"It can't possibly be a Secret Realm!" The blood demon, after experiencing the Jade Capital City war, has grown to dislike Secret Regions, "Those places are too troublesome!"

Secret Regions are illusory and real, real and illusory, plus a whole bunch of messy rules. If the Jade Capital City battle hadn't involved the Nine Abysses, just letting it go in alone, it fears it couldn't get out like Pak Chai Hai did.

"This doesn't look like a Secret Realm. Secret Regions are usually called 'a crevice in time and space', time inside has no meaning. But you see the sea disk chariots planted here can survive, and how many 'Flowing Light' Secret Regions are there in the world? Besides, seawater can be easily introduced, showing it's not a fully enclosed place." The Soul-Capturing Mirror said slowly and steadily, anyway the master is also doing hard labor, there's plenty of time, "I infer, this place is most likely a small world."

"Eh? Like your mirror-space?" No wonder this broken mirror dares to speak, turns out it has experience.

"Seven-nine not leaving ten, I felt familiar as soon as I came in." The Soul-Capturing Mirror explained, "Small worlds differ from the real Great Thousandfold World, they are in a growth phase, so the rules here are often incomplete, and don't need to be complete, thus very advantageous for the owner. This beetle and earthworm being able to fly up must be because they touched the small world's rules, thus being lifted into the air."

"Being able to fly up means weightlessness." He Lingchuan pondered for a moment, reached into his bosom, "Auntie, animate an eye spider for me."

Not a while later, the nutmeg garden released a tiny spider, which directly clung to He Lingchuan's finger.

"Now, loosen your claws."

The little spider obeyed, loosened its eight legs, and just like the two small bugs before, floated up like a sheet of paper.

He Lingchuan grabbed it back in one go, stored it in the nutmeg garden.

"Indeed, it's a special rule of the small world." He said solemnly, "Life that sneaked in, that is, luckily entered here without the outside 'Cloud Terrace' certification, probably doesn't obey the small world's gravity rule, thus cannot stand on the ground."

Zhu Xiuer in the nutmeg garden said with concern: "Then how are we supposed to get out later? If we're weightless here, even fighting would be difficult."

He Lingchuan's eyes flashed. The difficulty mentioned by the Spider Queen is very concrete, if these stowaways can't even stand firm, how can we talk about facing enemies? The precondition for all divine ability techniques and combat is mastery over one's own body and abilities.

"The heavenly demon's move is really vicious." The mirror said with some admiration, "It can both check for gaps and weaken the enemy. Quite malicious, but very worth learning from."

Life that evaded the Cloud Terrace's search and capture, even if entering this small world, will be rejected by its rules, unable to move freely. The Heavenly Palace, as long as it finds them, can rely on the home-field advantage, leisurely dispose of them.
