Xiao Hua's First Life-and-Death Crisis Upon Entering the Immortal Realm and the Death of Star Moon Fairy

According to "Exiled Immortal. Chapter 3996 Grand Finale!!!" Xiao Hua's nine-colored true lightning tribulation for over a hundred scattered infants, along with the power of the Immortal Realm's interfaces, caused Xiao Hua to faint. Before losing consciousness, Xiao Hua was ambushed by an Immortal impersonating Xu Zhi. This was Xiao Hua's first life-or-death crisis upon entering the Immortal Realm. This article will analyze the causes of this crisis and its subsequent karma.

I. Who is the Immortal Who Ambushed Xiao Hua?

The Immortal who ambushed Xiao Hua, since he was impersonating Xu Zhi, must naturally be related to Xu Zhi. According to "Immortal Realm Arc. Chapter 2: The Impersonating Guide," it can be inferred that the person who ambushed Xiao Hua was an Immortal Official from the Palace of Law Enforcement. This Immortal Official had served in the Palace of Punishment a hundred lifetimes ago. Due to unfamiliarity with the procedures, the white light kill aspect of Xiao Hua's tribulation's black and white killing energies was caused by the Immortal Official's accidental operation of the Xingtian Immortal Artifact. For specific reasons, one can refer to "Immortal Realm Arc. Chapter 3: Escaping the Reception Hall," as well as the evaluations of the black and white dual killing by the Mother Worm and Primordial Ancestor in "Exiled Immortal. Chapter 3993 Tribulation (11)," and the evaluations by Kong Qiang and Old Ancestor Ye in "Exiled Immortal. Chapter 3994 Tribulation (12)."

II. Why Did the Immortal Official Ambush Xiao Hua?

Since the Immortal Official impersonated Xu Zhi to ambush Xiao Hua, the reason must be related to the karma between Xu Zhi and Xiao Hua. There are three karmic connections between Xu Zhi and Xiao Hua:

1. Bronze Pillar Kingdom's Xu Zhi, under the name Du Shanjun, gave Xiao Hua the Immortal Realm's Crimson Infant Technique, Might of Thunder Technique, and the more complete Dutian Star Array.

2. Before the Star Moon Palace appeared, Xu Zhi gave Xiao Hua the inheritance of the Nine-tailed Fox of Qingqiu Mountain.

3. Xiao Hua, Xu Zhi, and Star Moon Fairy found the Ye Qiong Heavenly Mansion in the Star Moon Palace.

The above three points are the events connecting Xu Zhi and Xiao Hua. Given Xu Zhi's cautious and selfless personality, there should be no issues with the Immortal Realm techniques he taught Xiao Hua. Furthermore, the inheritance of the Nine-tailed Fox of Qingqiu Mountain was something Xu Zhi concealed from Star Moon Fairy, and Xiao Hua opened it on the Shenhua Continent. Therefore, Xiao Hua being hunted by the Immortal Official in the Immortal Realm has nothing to do with the first two points.

From this, it can be inferred that Xiao Hua being pursued by an Immortal Official in the Immortal Realm, specifically an Immortal Official from the Palace of Law Enforcement, could only be because of the Ye Qiong Heavenly Mansion. This Heavenly Mansion contains the Divine Cultivation Mirror, the legendary supreme cultivation technique for becoming a God. Because of the Divine Cultivation Mirror, two Heavenly Venerates were killed in the Ye Qiong Heavenly Mansion, and Xu Zhi and Star Moon Fairy were also drawn into this bizarre vortex.

IV. Which One of Xu Zhi and Star Moon Fairy Involved Xiao Hua?

Both Xu Zhi and Star Moon Fairy developed some karma with Xiao Hua due to the Ye Qiong Heavenly Mansion. Whether it was Xu Zhi or Star Moon Fairy who implicated Xiao Hua, I believe it was Star Moon Fairy who implicated Xiao Hua. The reasons are as follows:

1. Xu Zhi's personality is rigorous and just, while Star Moon Fairy is a bit willful and capricious. From a personality perspective, Star Moon Fairy is more likely to have implicated Xiao Hua.

2. The Immortal Official who ambushed Xiao Hua in the Immortal Realm is from the Palace of Law Enforcement. According to "Exiled Immortal. Chapter 3227 Omen of the Star Moon Palace's Emergence," "The Punishment Heavenly Venerate and the Law Enforcement Heavenly Venerate are at odds, and the Palace of Punishment and the Palace of Law Enforcement are like fire and water." As the Punishment Envoy of the Palace of Punishment, Xu Zhi would certainly not collude with the Law Enforcement Heavenly Venerate. The fact that someone from the Palace of Law Enforcement ambushed Xiao Hua implies that Star Moon Fairy implicated Xu Zhi, and then Xu Zhi implicated Xiao Hua.

3. According to chapters "Exiled Immortal. Chapter 3243 Ye Qiong Heavenly Mansion" and "Exiled Immortal. Chapter 3244 Divine Cultivation Mirror," where it states, "Xingyue, I think... we've gotten into big trouble!" and "From the moment we saw this Ye Qiong Heavenly Mansion, it has been difficult for us to escape this most bizarre vortex in the Immortal Realm!" Star Moon Fairy smiled, "If we don't find it, there might not be punishment, but if we don't search... then there might be a great crime!" From Star Moon Fairy discovering the Ye Qiong Heavenly Mansion and searching for the Divine Cultivation Mirror, it is likely that Star Moon Fairy revealed it to the Law Enforcement Heavenly Venerate. She never expected that the Law Enforcement Heavenly Venerate would be so desperate for the Divine Cultivation Mirror. According to "Exiled Immortal. Chapter 3244 Divine Cultivation Mirror," "If Star Moon Fairy finds the Divine Cultivation Mirror, she will definitely present it to the Law Enforcement Heavenly Venerate. If the Law Enforcement Heavenly Venerate wants to keep this secret, he will inevitably have to kill Star Moon Fairy. But if Star Moon Fairy cannot find the Divine Cultivation Mirror, and any Immortal knows she came to the Ye Qiong Heavenly Mansion, then others will definitely suspect Star Moon Fairy of hoarding the Divine Cultivation Mirror. The most sensible course of action would be to withdraw from this place immediately and never mention it again. Even if they are subjected to soul searching by a Heavenly Venerate or Immortal King in the future, they can maintain their innocence!" This indicates that Star Moon Fairy implicated Xu Zhi, and then Xu Zhi implicated Xiao Hua.

V. The Death of Star Moon Fairy and Its Subsequent Impact

Due to the Divine Cultivation Mirror, the Law Enforcement Heavenly Venerate soul-searched Star Moon Fairy. It can be said that both Star Moon Fairy and Xu Zhi, after ascending to the Immortal Realm again from the Star Moon Palace, had a very tragic fate. Star Moon Fairy was at least soul-searched, and possibly even killed (whether she was soul-searched or killed depends on how Tan Hua writes it). I lean towards Star Moon Fairy being killed, which would result in the following outcomes:

1. Xiao Hua would absolutely not dare to expose the Ye Qiong Heavenly Mansion and the Divine Cultivation Mirror. The large number of immortal soldiers Xiao Hua obtained in the Ye Qiong Heavenly Mansion would undoubtedly become important material reserves for Xiao Hua to establish his Heavenly Venerate Mansion, similar to the disciples of the Gate of Creation in the later stages of Exiled Immortal.

2. The Law Enforcement Heavenly Venerate would definitely soul-search Xu Zhi and Star Moon Fairy. Xu Zhi would be detained because of his character and the significant karma he shares with Xiao Hua, which prevented him from being killed. This would lead Xu Zhi to act out of rage, and after Xiao Hua establishes his own Heavenly Venerate Mansion, he would become the Investiture Envoy for the sixth Great Star Domain Investiture of Gods mentioned in "Earth's Sole Cultivator."

3. The death of Star Moon Fairy would help Tan Hua fill in plot holes and also help Xiao Hua perfect his Underworld. Xiao Hua is destined to become a Primeval God. The space behind Xiao Hua's head will surely grow into a world similar to the reality space Xiao Hua inhabits. Regarding soul power, reincarnation power, and the Underworld, the mortal cultivator Xiao Zhenren did not significantly perfect the yin aspect of his space. Therefore, in the Immortal Realm, Xiao Hua will definitely perfect the yin aspect of his space. Perfecting this yin aspect is related to that Underworld Judge and the death of Star Moon Fairy. Only after Star Moon Fairy's death can Xiao Hua and Xu Zhi go to the Underworld to search for Star Moon Fairy's soul. This will showcase the greatness of Xiao Zhenren. To become someone like Empress Houtu, Xue Xue, or the helpless master of the Underworld Judge, Xiao Hua's actions in the Immortal Realm will create new opportunities for them.
