Chen Changsheng, who had only a superficial understanding of the Dao of Space, keenly sensed a spatial fluctuation the moment he followed the main group into the tunnel.
"It's the Dao of Space; we've been moved."
The moment Chen Changsheng finished speaking, the direction of the curved streamer that had been following them also changed. The streamer, which had originally been pointing forward, suddenly pointed towards the inside of the rock wall.
"The location of the natural treasures has changed." Cheng Ziyue reached out and touched the rock wall: "It's a solid rock wall, not an illusion."
Dong, dong, dong, dong…
Cheng Ziyue shook his rattle-drum again, searching for natural treasures in other directions.
If this road doesn't work, then he'll switch to other natural treasures. Such a large stone cave definitely has more than one opportunity.
Sure enough, as Cheng Ziyue's rattle-drum rang again, the curved streamer repositioned itself to other natural treasures.
This time, the streamer wasn't just a single curve, but a full seven!
"The spatial orientation has indeed changed as Elder Chen said. At the entrance, we could only locate one natural treasure, but after a few steps, there are seven more," Cheng Ziyue exclaimed in surprise.
Looking at the direction of the streamer curves, all the disciples of the Thousand Mountains Sect revealed expressions of excitement.
Without hesitation, the group immediately set off deeper into the tunnel, their speed noticeably faster than before.
Chen Changsheng pondered for a moment on the spot, and just as he was about to follow, he sensed the spatial fluctuation again.
Immediately, he saw the Thousand Mountains Sect and the others disappear abruptly into the darkness like shadows, illuminated by the dim light!
"Sect Leader Cheng?"
Chen Changsheng tried calling out, but received no response.
"Did we just get separated?"
Chen Changsheng was stunned in place, feeling somewhat disoriented.
"The divination said that it would be more beneficial for me to act alone, which suits my wishes."
"But where should I go next? The spatial orientation here changes at any time. Even if I deduce the correct direction, it will still become invalid the moment I move."
He took out the bronze mirror and shone it around. Several fragmented tunnel scenes appeared in the mirror.
At first, Chen Changsheng didn't understand what was being shown in the mirror. But as he moved forward with the bronze mirror,
The spatial fluctuation and the mirror image changed simultaneously!
He looked at the bronze mirror again, and saw that a small area had been added to the mirror, which was exactly the same as his current environment.
And the fragmented tunnels that had appeared earlier remained unchanged in the mirror.
"This is…"
Chen Changsheng's mind raced, and suddenly his eyes widened. He suddenly understood what the image projected by the bronze mirror was!
"The areas I've passed through are all recorded and projected by the bronze mirror!"
"Isn't this a map with a God's-eye view? The places I haven't been to are black areas, and after I've been there, a record will be left behind."
"Because I've been spatially displaced, that's why the fragmented tunnel scenes appear."
Chen Changsheng couldn't help but reveal a look of joy: "In this way, no matter how my orientation changes, I can use the projection of the bronze mirror to figure out my location!"
He had never been able to determine the grade of the bronze mirror magic weapon, and even Luo Liuxi had not been able to see what grade the bronze mirror belonged to.
But the bronze mirror would only occasionally show its unique effects. Most of the time, it was used as a truth-revealing magic weapon to reveal the true forms of demons and break illusions.
Apart from that, the bronze mirror performed unremarkable, and couldn't even penetrate the thick fog in the misty area.
He didn't expect that in this stone cave, it would actually have a recording and projection function.
With the bronze mirror by his side, Chen Changsheng's movements became more free.
His figure遁入 into the void, heading straight forward.
The spatial orientation in the stone cave continuously changed countless times. Through observation with the bronze mirror, he discovered that the spatial displacement did not change all the time.
After frequent changes, there would be a long period of rest.
If one stood still in place during the orientation change period, one would not be transferred to other orientations. One only needed to wait for the rest period to move again, and one could continue all the way down a tunnel.
Using this rule, Chen Changsheng continued to explore deep into a tunnel.
Suddenly, some discordant sounds appeared ahead, and he vaguely heard gnawing sounds.
He immediately slowed down, trying to restrain his aura as much as possible, and slowly wandered in the void like a ghost. The scene before him came into view.
A strand of familiar Daoist robe corner was torn and blown away by more than a dozen cockroach demons.
They gathered together, greedily gnawing on a corpse. From the color and纹路 of the Daoist robe, it could be judged that it was a disciple of the Thousand Mountains Sect!
The corpse was disfigured, and its internal organs had been hollowed out by the cockroach demons.
The blood flowing all over the ground was not wasted either. Several small demon cubs with ugly faces were tightly attached to the ground, constantly licking the bloodstains with their tongues, revealing an expression of comfortable enjoyment.
In addition, there were also two cockroach demon corpses on the ground. Their companions were also greedily gnawing on them, making a series of crunchy sounds, which seemed very delicious.
Chen Changsheng held his breath and passed by the cockroach demons.
This Thousand Mountains Sect disciple was probably separated from the main group, and happened to run into more than a dozen cockroach demons.
In the end, he only killed two of them, and then died here.
Continuing deeper into the tunnel, Chen Changsheng did not see the rest of the Thousand Mountains Sect disciples. Instead, the number of cockroach demons crawling on the rock walls became larger and larger.
He passed through the tunnel and entered a vast deep pit area. A massive number of cockroach demons filled the entire cave pit, as well as brown eggs scattered everywhere.
Because the number was too large, the cockroach demons could only crawl over their companions to move.
Even though he was in the void, Chen Changsheng could feel that this place must be filled with a pervasive stench, and the dense scene made his scalp tingle.
If he accidentally exposed himself at this time, even if his Nascent Soul stage cultivation was capable, he would definitely be submerged by this cockroach sea.
"I'm going to kill all the cockroaches when I get back!"
Chen Changsheng silently made up his mind, carefully and cautiously moving towards another tunnel entrance.
Passing through the cockroach demon cave, it was still a dim tunnel, as if there was no end.
Chen Changsheng traveled through it for several days.
During this period, he encountered snake demon caves, scorpion caves, centipede caves, toad caves, and the corpses remains of many cultivators.
If it weren't for the fact that the demons didn't like to eat their remaining corners of clothing, Chen Changsheng probably wouldn't have known that people had died here.
"There are not only the Thousand Mountains Sect in the stone cave, but also other sects and factions exploring, but so far all I've encountered are dead people."
Chen Changsheng's face gradually became serious as he carefully moved forward in the tunnel.
Just then, firelight appeared at the entrance ahead, and he vaguely heard a group of people chanting something in unison.
"Devour flesh and blood to strengthen cultivation! Demons and monsters of the world, receive new life! Worship the Holy Sect, and help me attain eternal life!"
Hua!
Chen Changsheng came to the edge of the cave entrance and saw the grand scale of tens of thousands of people worshipping and chanting scriptures.
Everyone's expressions were filled with madness, and their smiles were eerie.
An old man on the stage held a scroll of scriptures and led tens of thousands of people in chanting in unison, a strong demonic aura permeating from his body!
