Ink-Green Light, Executing Xiao Ye

Despite lamenting his unfortunate fate, the Guiding Emissary dared not delay. He reached out and produced a crystal token. As he channeled his Immortal Power, the token flew into the air and emitted a black and white radiance. Where the radiance fell, six bluestone slabs rose from the ground. These slabs tumbled in the air, their surfaces displaying strange, fluctuating runes. They began to tremble rapidly with the token's radiance. Once all the fluctuations formed a rhythm, the bluestones stabilized, revealing grooves. The token's radiance vanished as it returned to the Guiding Emissary's hand.

Without carefully checking if the teleportation array formed by the six bluestones was functional, the Guiding Emissary took out six fist-sized, crystal-like spirit stones from his Hundred Bags pouch and placed them into the grooves of the bluestones. As he performed Immortal Arts, thread-like bright lights emanated from the core of the six Space Origin Crystals. These lights shot out from the spirit stones, perfectly matching the runes on the bluestones. With a "boom," the six bluestones roared simultaneously and lifted off the ground. After the Guiding Emissary cast several more Immortal Arts, the six bluestones spun rapidly, creating a hexagonal spatial vortex. The Guiding Emissary took out an Ink Immortal Pupil from his robes, wrote a line of text in the air, and then grabbed it, injecting it into the vortex. With a "click," the Guiding Emissary casually tossed the Ink Immortal Pupil into the vortex. However, just before the Ink Immortal Pupil fell in, the Guiding Emissary's brow furrowed. He quickly reached out and grabbed it, then took out his crystal token from his Hundred Bags pouch, imprinted it onto the Ink Immortal Pupil, and only then confidently placed it inside.

Seeing the vortex disappear, the Guiding Emissary pointed his hand, and the bluestones slowly stopped. When the bluestones landed, the Space Origin Crystals in the grooves had already turned to dust. The Guiding Emissary looked at the dust with some heartache and said fiercely, "Damn it, I must get those over a hundred Immortal Infants from that fellow. One hundred Immortal Infants represent one hundred Calamity Transcending Immortal Artifacts! Only then can my hatred be appeased!"

The Guiding Emissary left the palace. After a few steps, he turned back and looked at the still-open palace, scoffing, "What a load of crap, this 'Spirit Guiding Pool.' It's been robbed so clean not even a single spirit stone is left. How dare they call it the Spirit Cleansing Pool?" With that, the Guiding Emissary waved his sleeve, and a beam of brilliant light shot out, striking the bronze palace. With a rumbling sound, the bronze palace shook, and countless crimson runes appeared within, forcefully blocking the Guiding Emissary's brilliant light.

The Guiding Emissary's expression soured. He spat on the ground and turned away from this place that was enough to humiliate him for a lifetime.

The Guiding Emissary moved like the wind, arriving at the entrance of the Reception Hall in just a moment. He looked up at the dark green Autumn Hair Moon, which illuminated everything with fine detail, and sneered, "Such an Autumn Hair Moon, it's the perfect time for immortal beasts to appear. If that fellow dies by their jaws, it will be troublesome for me too! Let's see if that fellow is still alive first!"

As he spoke, the Guiding Emissary took out an Immortal Artifact from his Hundred Bags pouch and breathed a gust of immortal energy onto it. The Immortal Artifact emitted a soft, hazy radiance and slowly enlarged, revealing itself to be a square Dharma plate.

The Guiding Emissary then performed Immortal Arts, pointed his hand at the ground, and with a "swish," countless dark green light threads emerged from the ground, rapidly condensing into a ball of light. "Go..." The Guiding Emissary pointed at the Dharma plate again. The ball of light shot into the Dharma plate, and illusions of mountain ranges and forests appeared on it.

"Huh? Why can't I find any trace of this fellow?" The Guiding Emissary stared intently for a moment, surprise showing on his face, and wondered, "That's not right. Even if this fellow is dead, the residual dust aura on him wouldn't disappear. Oh, no, this fellow has a Scattered Infant Body. If he dies, wouldn't the dust aura scatter into the air? How could I forget this? Damn it!"

The Guiding Emissary became anxious. Just as he was about to carelessly retract the Dharma plate, he thought of something else. Without hesitation, he opened his mouth and "poof," a mouthful of fresh blood mixed with silvery-white light threads landed on the Dharma plate. The Dharma plate hummed and rapidly expanded several times over. The Guiding Emissary looked at a faint, yellowish-brown dot on the edge of the Dharma plate and couldn't help but rejoice, "My heavens, this fellow is truly faster than a lightning rabbit! In such a short time, he's already fled tens of thousands of miles away? Is he... is he still a newly ascended Mortal Immortal? Fortunately, I had a flash of inspiration and expanded the search range, otherwise, I would have truly been deceived by this fellow!"

While patting himself on the back, the Guiding Emissary quickly retracted the Dharma plate. He reached out and took out a shuttle, about ten zhang long, from his Hundred Bags pouch. He breathed out a gust of air, and the shuttle transformed into a size of several hundred zhang. "Little brat, clean your neck, wait for this emissary to come and get you!" The Guiding Emissary leaped onto the flying shuttle, performed Immortal Arts, and the shuttle shot off like a meteor.

Meanwhile, as soon as Xiao Hua escaped the bronze palace, a heavy pressure immediately surged from all directions. This pressure caught Xiao Hua off guard, causing his body to sway and almost fall. At the same time, a "poof poof" sound of compression came from within his body, and his entire physique rapidly compressed, stopping only when he reached over thirty zhang.

"I understand now. This... this Immortal Realm is filled with Immortal Spiritual Energy. Immortal Spiritual Energy is of a higher grade than the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi of the Four Great Continents, and its weight is naturally greater. No wonder Xu Zhi and Star Moon Fairy could easily transform their immortal bodies to thousands of zhang when they reached the Four Great Continents!" Xiao Hua's thoughts raced, but he didn't have time to ponder. He used the Flowing Cloud Movement Technique to rush towards the outside of the Reception Hall.

After rushing out only a thousand zhang, Xiao Hua felt he had left the range of the bluestone formation. Moreover, the surrounding palaces were damaged. He quickly performed a hand seal, intending to use the Wind Escape Technique. Unfortunately, as he performed the hand seal, only faint light projections appeared, and his body remained in place, not flying out like the wind!

"Alas..." Xiao Hua sighed, knowing that without Immortal Arts, he couldn't use escape techniques in the Immortal Realm. He turned to see that the Guiding Emissary had not pursued him. Giving up on any luck, he honestly used the Flowing Cloud Movement Technique to flee.

Without escape techniques, it took Xiao Hua quite some time to flee from the Spirit Cleansing Pool to the entrance of the Reception Hall. However, what puzzled Xiao Hua was that the Guiding Emissary had not pursued him.

"Strange..." Xiao Hua looked at the dilapidated palace gate ahead and thought to himself, "Could that fellow be too injured to use Immortal Escape Techniques? Or is he healing first and then coming after me? If so, he must have found my Immortal Arts or methods. I need to be extra careful."

As he thought, Xiao Hua's body had already rushed out of the palace gate. He naturally wanted to release his divine sense to scan the distance, but his divine sense was empty; there was nothing for him to use it on.

"This..." Xiao Hua was dumbfounded. His rushing body stopped, and he looked helplessly at the night covered by the dark green moonlight, not knowing which direction to go.

Just then, an inexplicable needle-like pain suddenly erupted from his body's surface. The pain was exceptionally cold and pierced deep into his soul. "Ah..." Xiao Hua cried out in pain and quickly dodged to the side, his gaze scanning his surroundings with extreme alertness.

However, there was no one and nothing around. The plaque of the Reception Hall behind him remained, and the Guiding Emissary had not pursued him!

"Ah... ah..." As Xiao Hua moved, more stinging pain emerged, and even his body's surface made "sizzling" sounds.

Xiao Hua was greatly alarmed. He looked down and saw that the light gray areas on his body, covered by the dark green moonlight, were forming bubbles like raindrops, and then bursting like firecrackers! Even the silvery-white surface had finer bubbles appearing, and the pain was deeply piercing his body from these spots!

"Ah..." Xiao Hua couldn't bear the pain and curled into a ball, rolling frantically in the moonlight. By chance, Xiao Hua rolled under the dilapidated gate of the Reception Hall.

"Hoo..." Feeling the pain greatly reduced, Xiao Hua finally let out a long breath and stood up weakly.

He looked at the dark green moonlight outside the palace gate and had some realization. He tentatively extended his palm, and indeed, as the moonlight shone on it, a bone-chilling, piercing pain emerged. Glancing at the deep, boundless night, Xiao Hua finally understood why the Guiding Emissary hadn't pursued him.

The Guiding Emissary didn't need to pursue. This kind of night was like a large copper pot frying Xiao Hua. If Xiao Hua didn't want to die, he could only obediently stay within the Reception Hall!

"What... what should I do?" Xiao Hua's thoughts raced, and he looked at the direction of the Spirit Cleansing Pool with even more trepidation, truly feeling caught between a rock and a hard place.

Thinking of the Spirit Cleansing Pool, Xiao Hua suddenly remembered the few Green Fruits he had casually taken from it. A flash of inspiration struck him, and he took out a Green Fruit. He squeezed it with both hands, and the juice splattered out. Xiao Hua carefully smeared the little juice on the light gray areas of his body. When he tentatively stepped out of the palace gate again, the dark green moonlight shone on him. Although there was still a stinging pain, it was incomparable to the previous pain.

"Excellent!" Xiao Hua rushed out of the palace gate without hesitation, picked a random direction to flee, and thought to himself, "I knew it! If you don't take advantage of a good deal, heaven and earth will punish you! If I hadn't impulsively taken this Green Fruit just now, how could I have escaped the Reception Hall?"

Xiao Hua didn't know when the juice of the Green Fruit would lose its effect, so he didn't dare to stop at all, doing his best to urge the Flowing Cloud Movement Technique to flee. Although he also knew that the Guiding Emissary could catch up to him in a single breath if he used an Immortal Escape Technique, he had no choice but to flee! Because he knew that as long as he fled, there was a glimmer of hope before him; if he didn't flee, there would be no hope at all!

Of course, Xiao Hua also knew that he was currently on a paper boat, which could capsize and lead to his demise at any moment in this vast sea of night.

"Why am I so unlucky!" Xiao Hua couldn't help but pity himself. "Others ascend to the Immortal Realm in glory, but not only did I have to face the Heavenly Tribulation for my Nascent Soul, but I also encountered a dried-up Spirit Cleansing Pool and a Guiding Emissary with ulterior motives. I... I..."

Xiao Hua felt like crying without tears!

As Xiao Hua fled in a hurry, he felt endless danger all around. In the dark green night, trees ten zhang thick and over several hundred zhang tall made his heart pound with fear. Even the randomly growing bushes underfoot were tens of zhang tall, almost concealing Xiao Hua's figure.

"Everything in the Immortal Realm looks even larger than in the Myriad Monster Realm..." Xiao Hua listened to the wind whistling past his ears and thought to himself, "It seems the nourishment of Immortal Spiritual Energy is truly extraordinary. Oh, if that's the case, then the immortal beasts of the Immortal Realm?"

Xiao Hua couldn't help but think of the Kite-Griffin Immortal Beasts he encountered in the Immortal Realm fragments within the Star Moon Palace.

Just then, from within the distant forest, a "buzzing" sound was heard, and it seemed to be coming in his direction...
