They made no stops along the way, and soon, they reached the vicinity of Paradise Land.

This place was extremely secluded. Aside from those going to Paradise Land for cultivation, almost no one could be seen here, even in times of disaster, no one would run this way.

As of now, the night was deep and in the pitch-black forest, a faint glow shimmered around the location of Paradise Land.

From a distance, Paradise Land truly seemed like an otherworldly paradise.

However, upon closer inspection, the glow that from afar represented pure land was actually an energy shield, sealing Paradise Land from every angle without leaking a trace of aura.

It was as if the world inside the energy shield and outside it were completely different.

Angel originally thought that such a large-scale energy shield might involve the application of a Magical Energy Array, but when he actually approached Paradise Land, he discovered this energy shield had nothing to do with a Magical Energy Array.

It was called an energy shield, but it merely looked like one, the essence of it was far from an energy shield, it was more like a sealed space.

Similar to the former Tidal World, it was isolated by a special power, and ordinary people simply couldn’t find it.

However, the blockade of the Tidal World was not unsolvable; the Tidal World had a "Door", even though it was small, it was still a door. This meant that the Tidal World and the Wizards’ Realm were still connected. In other words, although the Tidal World could not be found, as long as you knew its coordinates, you could still traverse into it using the Plane Corridor.

But the location of this Paradise Land was different from the Tidal World, every place here was sealed.

And it was enveloped by a special power of space, which means that even if you broke the seal, and even if you knew the coordinates of Paradise Land, you couldn’t directly teleport inside.

In comparison, the blockade of the Tidal World seemed lacking, but we also need to consider that the Tidal World is a world, whereas Paradise Land is just an insignificant small area.

Sealing this area is much easier than sealing a vast world.

Moreover, Paradise Land is very small, making it harder to find any flaw in its sealing.

At least, after observing for a while, Angel has not found any breakthrough point.

Currently, he can only determine that the force sealing Paradise Land belongs to the Space Series power.

"So, the person who restricted Paradise Land is likely a Space Mage?" Dox whispered, "Or is it some kind of spatial locking artifact?"

Dox thought for a moment and then turned his gaze toward Kaier: "The only Space Master here, can you see any clues?"

Kaier was already accustomed to Dox’s teasing, and silently ignored the so-called ’master’ title, beginning to carefully inspect the seal on Paradise Land.

After a moment, Kaier spoke softly: "Very distinctive spatial energy."

"Distinctive? Spatial energy can have distinctions?" Dox looked at Kaier in confusion. Typically, ’distinctive’ refers to anthropomorphic traits, but spatial energy has no life, so how could it have distinctions? This was the first time he had heard such an expression.

Kaier explained: "It could also be understood as traits, but I prefer the term my mentor uses—distinctive."

Pure energy and impure energy can both be referred to as traits. But ’distinctive’ leans more towards impure energy.

Just like the element "wind", it can be a breeze or a gale, but these are pure winds, a matter of traits rather than distinctions.

But if wind combines with dust and becomes a desert tornado, that is "impure energy," and this can be called either a trait or a distinction.

Traits can include distinctions, but distinctions cannot encompass traits.

Therefore, the general populace actually prefers the term ’trait’, but Kaier’s mentor, the Voidwalker Esos, prefers the use of ’distinctive’. It’s purely a matter of personal preference.

Kaier briefly explained the meaning of "distinctive," and after listening, Dox seemed thoughtful: "According to what you’re saying, the spatial energy here is actually impure?"

Kaier nodded: "Yes."

Impure doesn’t mean weak. For instance, many elemental creatures are impure, such as the Baya Desert’s Monarch "Sandstorm" Seto, the Wild Stone Wilderness’s Monarch "Fallen Earth" Cherny, the Region of Fire’s Monarch "Demon Fire" Midir... If using the "distinctive theory" to classify, they are all impure, but their status as Element Lords shows their strength.

Kaier paused, then continued: "From what I know, generally, such distinctive spatial energy basically originates from the spatial abilities of some Transcendent creatures."

In other words, the seal here is most likely the handiwork of a Space Wizard or a being with spatial capabilities.

As for whether it’s a special spatial artifact? It’s possible, but even if a spatial artifact is involved, there’s definitely the cooperation of a Transcendent creature from the Space Series.

Dox sighed: "Indeed, such powerful capability probably only a Space Mage could wield. But the person has done it so thoroughly, without leaving even a trace of a gap; what are we to do?"

Dox looked at Kaier: "You... do you have any idea?"

Dox actually didn’t believe Kaier could break this space seal, but considering Kaier’s mentor is the renowned Space Wizard of the Southern Domain, as his sole disciple, even if he can’t break the seal, he should at least have theoretical knowledge, right?

With theoretical knowledge as a foundation, perhaps they could work together with Kaier to perform a breaking seal action.

However, as Dox expected, Kaier shook his head: "I, I have no way."

This spatial sealing capability is already comparable to his mentor, how could he possibly break it? Yet, through the distinctive spatial energy residuals, Kaier vaguely felt that the wizard who cast this space seal didn’t appear to be a bloodthirsty madman.

If the other party truly intended to ravage indiscriminately, countless articles could be made from the space seal. Simply creating some hard-to-detect spatial fissures nearby would kill ninety percent of anyone who approached.

The other party didn’t do so, indicating to Kaier at least a certain conscience.

—One must know, Kaier himself had filled the small laboratory he left at the Sandworm Market with spatial traps. These spatial traps are very simple for Kaier to set up, almost activated by a mere thought. Thus, even an apprentice could lay such traps so easily, for an Official Wizard, it’s simpler still. However, the wizard who laid the space seal did not set any traps outside, which, in Kaier’s view, is an expression of "kindness and conscience."

Nonetheless, Kaier kept these thoughts to himself and didn’t speak them aloud. After all, it was just a guess, moreover, the act of sealing Paradise Land without any apparent reason contradicts with benevolence, hence Kaier dared not speak further.

"Shall I try to forcefully break it open?" Dox whispered.

"It might not be possible to break it open by force, and it could also lead to a riot of spatial energy. Not only would people inside Paradise Land be attacked, but spatial collapse could also occur outside," Kaier said.

The most important thing is that even if everyone inside Paradise Land perishes, that Space Mage is likely to be unharmed. It’s very possible that before noticing anything wrong with the spatial energy, he would directly escape into the plane corridor. And once he enters the plane corridor, he can leave anytime he wishes.

Such is the power of an Official Space Wizard.

Dox: "Even a strong attack won’t work, is there really no way to break this space seal?"

Kaier hesitated for a moment and said, "Perhaps Lord Chaowei has a way?"

Angel? Dox pondered for a moment and then understood Kaier’s point. Angel indeed has strong foundational knowledge in spatial studies, but knowledge is one thing; turning it into practice is very difficult. Just like how Dox knows many alchemy methods, but he himself cannot learn alchemy, this is a typical manifestation of knowledge failing to transform into capability.

After all, Angel is an Illusionist Wizard, can he really break the seal set by a Space Wizard?

Dox looked at Angel, who had remained silent, without speaking, but his questioning intent was obvious in his eyes.

Angel thought for a while, and under the gaze of both Dox and Kaier, he spoke: "...I can give it a try."

Initially, when Angel saw this space seal, he felt completely at a loss, but as he observed more, he arrived at the same conclusion as Kaier.

The wizard who set up the space seal was still quite friendly.

There were no spatial traps, nor any hidden rifts; he presented a space seal that posed no harm to the outside world at all. In Angel’s view, this was simply a rare research object.

He had obtained a lot of knowledge about spatial studies from the Dalmatian, most of which was superficial, leaving very little that could be truly solidified.

It’s not that Angel wasn’t willing to solidify it, but many pieces of knowledge need to be viewed in conjunction with practice.

Angel seldom has direct opportunities for practice.

And now, after confirming that this space seal had no traps, he could use it as a practical object to digest that ephemeral knowledge.

Even though Angel doesn’t think he has a way to break the space seal at the moment, as long as he digests the knowledge, he believes he can find a way to break the seal.

However, this digestion process will take time. This time can be short or long; in short times, he might find the key in a few minutes; in longer times, it might take days or even months.

In the current situation, let alone months, even a few days are impossible to wait for.

But Angel can’t just do nothing.

So, he can only say now that "he can try." Angel is just hoping for a bit of luck, and the best outcome would be breaking the seal in a short time. If in the end, it still doesn’t work, it would only be blamed on Speedy’s misfortune...

...

While Angel began to attempt to break the space seal, Vay and the Black Earl followed the Birlos Family to the arena.

When they received the report and rushed over, they were met with a landscape of ruins.

When Angel left the withered forest, nothing much was happening on the arena side, and that was indeed the case... because there were hardly any intact buildings here, 90% of them were ruined, even the Sky Mechanical City’s branch at the Sky Tower was largely destroyed.

What was left for the Birlos Family was just widespread plumes of smoke and countless fragments of stone.

A man with a pallid mask and purple hair, seeing this scene in front of him, almost couldn’t stand still.

"Who, who... who did this!" Initially whispering softly, by the last line, a strong aura emanated around him, even sending the surrounding stone fragments flying away.

"Gailuo, calm down." It was a woman with a green mask speaking; the mask didn’t cover her entire face, just like a mask, covering her chin and mouth, revealing her forest-like green eyes.

Anyone familiar with the Birlos Family, upon seeing her eyes, could recognize her identity... "Rainforest" Shayina Heiling.

Shayina came from the Forest of Night Whisper. An Elemental Wizard with the rare dual talents of water power and natural power. She settled in Bilun Tree Court a hundred years ago after moving from the Forest of Night Whisper, and shortly after married the vice-chief of the Bilun Tree Court.

And that vice-chief of Bilun Tree Court was this pallid-masked, purple-haired man: "Purple Fire" Gailuo Birlos.

Additionally, Gailuo was responsible for the Birlos Family’s external affairs; the business district, residential area, and arena all fell under his supervision.

Which explains why Gailuo was so furious seeing the arena reduced to ruins.

Although Gailuo’s heart was still filled with anger upon hearing his wife’s voice, he restrained his aura with difficulty.

Just when Gailuo had managed to calm himself, a somewhat sarcastic voice rang out from the side.

"Shayina is right; what’s the point of showing your anger now? Anger is just the display of incompetence."

Gailuo immediately turned around and looked at the man speaking, gritting his teeth: "Dreis!"

"What, are you planning to vent your anger on me now?" The man called Dreis sneered coldly and walked towards a burly elder, "Tree Lord, why don’t you be the judge? Am I wrong? His current impotent wrath is just a joke to others."

The burly elder was initially displeased with Dreis provoking Gailuo at such a moment, but when Dreis deliberately emphasized "a joke to others," he seemed to realize something, casting a sidelong glance at Vay nearby.

Then, the burly elder said blandly, "Gailuo, now is not the time for internal conflicts. The situation has reached this point; the key is to find the attacker. I will allow you to vent your anger on the perpetrator."

Gailuo clenched his fists, wanting to say something, but upon seeing the burly elder’s gaze, he ultimately held back, "I understand."

After reprimanding Gailuo, the burly elder turned to Dreis: "Dreis, you also shouldn’t say too much. No one here is dumb; we all know your intentions. I still insist, don’t provoke internal conflict at this time."
