Different Laws (Bonus Chapter for Silver Ally Dongfang Yushan)

As they spoke, Shuobing didn't hesitate. The Immortal Artifact in his hand flashed with brilliance again. The male immortal's expression turned extremely grim, and he turned to flee. At this moment, another change occurred. Just beneath Shuobing's feet, a low hum sounded, and a thread-thin stream of blood-red light, like the crimson moonlight in the sky, flashed and pierced into Shuobing's silver radiance!

With a "swish," the blood-red light, like a drop of thick red ink falling into water, stained Shuobing's silver radiance and even his icy wings a deep red!

Looking at where the blood-red light had erupted from, a female immortal figure slowly stepped out from somewhere within the sword diagram space. Although obscured by silver light, her smile was evident.

"Hahaha!" The male immortal, who had been preparing to flee, stopped and laughed again. "Governor of the Immortal County, it's truly not easy to ambush you!"

"Of course, it's not easy..." Shuobing's silver radiance retracted, and he said coldly, "Do you think this county governor's time in Helan Que was spent in vain?"

As soon as he finished speaking, with a loud "boom," a similar pillar of cold, blue ice light shot out from beside the female immortal who had just appeared, striking towards her chest. The female immortal was greatly alarmed and hurriedly dodged, but how could she evade it now?

With a "puff," the blood-red light flared.

"You..." The female immortal looked incredulously at a nearly transparent Nascent Soul just a few hundred feet away, and at the Immortal Artifact in the Nascent Soul's hand, identical to Shuobing's. She didn't know what to say!

"Take your life!" Shuobing roared, raising his Immortal Artifact along with the Nascent Soul, preparing to attack the female immortal.

"How dare you!" Three male immortals exclaimed in shock. Without a second thought, they lunged forward.

"Whoosh..." As the male immortals moved, the icy Nascent Soul immediately reached out and grabbed Shuobing. Wings nearly a hundred feet wide suddenly emerged from beneath his arm, which had been empty moments before. With a flap of these wings, the icy Nascent Soul and Shuobing shot into the night sky like meteors, disappearing in moments, leaving only their silhouettes.

"This..." The three male immortals stared in dumbfounded shock, while the female immortal angrily said, "Why aren't you chasing them?"

As she spoke, two more female immortal figures, expressionless, emerged from the spot in mid-air where Shuobing had been standing. It seemed these two female immortal clones were also preparing to ambush Shuobing.

"Good, good!" The three male immortals replied in unison. The male immortal with the red sword light above his head waved his hand, retracting the sword diagram. He said, "No matter. I've already injured her. It's a pity she managed to deceive me, but I've planted a hidden mark on her. She can't escape..."

The female immortal looked at the male immortal with the red sword light, then at the male immortal with the yellow sword light, and nodded slightly. "That's best..."

Meanwhile, Xiao Hua dared not venture too far. On the first day, he only searched within a hundred-mile radius. Yunmeng Marsh was called a "marsh" precisely because of its abundance of water. Xiao Hua's vision was filled with water and marshes for the entire day. Most of the immortal treasures within a hundred miles hid in the water. Since Xiao Hua couldn't yet perform water evasion, he naturally found nothing. However, during this day, six suns rose and set in succession: the fiery yellow of Jiaotu Sun, the golden yellow of Guijing Sun, the fiery red of Yanxi Sun, the silvery white of Tengshe Sun, the glazed gold of Shuquè Sun, and the crimson red of Crimson Sun. The water marsh scenery transformed six times in a single day, making Xiao Hua, who had just entered the Immortal Realm, exclaim in delight.

At the same time, Xiao Hua also learned that among these six suns, only the silvery-white sunlight of Tengshe Sun caused no harm to his Nascent Soul Body. All other sunlight was more or less harmful, especially the glazed gold of Shuquè Sun. When it shone on Xiao Hua, it felt like ten thousand arrows piercing his heart, unbearable for even a moment. Fortunately, as Shuquè Sun rose, Xiao Hua happened to be standing near a cave, thus narrowly escaping disaster.

Although he had escaped disaster within the cave, the radiance of the glazed gold seemed omnipresent. Even when Xiao Hua activated his Pearl Shirt and deployed the Mitian Ring, the sensation of being pierced remained, albeit significantly weaker. At this point, Xiao Hua also realized that the Mitian Ring could not help him resist the invasion of sunlight and moonlight radiance.

Immortal Beasts were mostly active at night. Xiao Hua lay in ambush nearby, hoping for some gains. Unfortunately, after waiting for half the night, with the Osmanthus Moon hanging high, Xiao Hua didn't encounter any significant Immortal Beasts.

"Perhaps because of the Roaring Beasts, the nearby Immortal Beasts have all been wiped out. It seems if I want to gain anything, I'll have to wait until my injuries heal a bit and go to more distant places!" Xiao Hua thought to himself as he returned empty-handed, traveling under the stars and moon.

After returning to the cave, Xiao Hua sat down cross-legged. He hadn't gone out for several days. However, this time he was heavily injured, especially by that palm from Yuanzi before he left. Therefore, his several days of quiet cultivation yielded no special results.

During these few days, Xiao Hua also tried using the cultivation techniques he had in the mortal world to heal his injuries. But as Xiao Hua had anticipated, the laws of the Immortal Realm were different from the mortal world, and mortal world cultivation techniques could not effectively channel Immortal Spiritual Energy. As for the cultivation technique for the Scattered Infants left by Xu Zhi, it was unclear whether Xu Zhi had modified it or if it was related to the laws. Xiao Hua found it much less smooth to cultivate than those from the Four Great Continents. For a time, Xiao Hua felt helpless, able only to meditate on the flame of the Sacred Lotus Seed, hoping to find some useful information within it.

One day, Xiao Hua opened his eyes from his meditation and looked at the Scattered Infants around him, frowning. "This won't do. Without targeted healing techniques, without healing elixirs, and without suitable cultivation techniques, I don't know when I'll recover! Huh? What... what's going on?"

While Xiao Hua was troubled, he suddenly discovered that the cave was no longer being invaded by sunlight and moonlight radiance.

"That's strange!" Xiao Hua quickly got up and his eyes darted around, noticing the peculiarity. Earlier, when Xiao Hua had entered the cave to lure the Toad Faced Toad out, he could feel the invasion of sunlight and moonlight radiance in the front section of the cave. But later, when Xiao Hua entered the innermost part of the cave, he had forgotten about it. And the hundred-plus Scattered Infants, who had been staying inside since they came out, experienced minimal invasion of sunlight and moonlight radiance.

Xiao Hua flew out a short distance. Outside, it was the Shuquè Sun, which the Nascent Soul feared the most. Xiao Hua began to feel the piercing pain, and as he flew further, the pain intensified. However, when Xiao Hua retreated to the vicinity of the Toad Faced Toad's lair, the pain actually disappeared.

"Something's not right, definitely not right!" Xiao Hua shook his head vigorously. This was because he had previously taken refuge in a cave a hundred miles away and avoided the glazed gold light of Shuquè Sun. At that time, even though Xiao Hua was hiding in the innermost part, he still felt an indescribable piercing pain in his heart. The distance between these two locations was not particularly significant.

"What could be the reason for this?" Xiao Hua wondered, looking up and down at the surrounding rock walls. It was clear that this rock formation must be unusual.

Yuanzi and Jing Sheng had clearly stated that the Toad Faced Toad kept all treasures. It was a pity that Yuanzi hadn't found any treasures. He was somewhat puzzled, but later, when the Roaring Beasts appeared, Yuanzi mistakenly believed that the Toad Faced Toad was staying here because the Roaring Beasts were laying eggs. Now, it seemed that there must be a treasure within these rock walls.

If Xiao Hua knew where the treasure was within the rock walls, he could simply break them with the Ruyi Scepter to retrieve it. However, since Yuanzi, who had used his Spirit Body to search, hadn't detected anything, this treasure must be hidden extremely secretly. Xiao Hua didn't believe he could find it easily.

"Perhaps I can try the Eye of Delusion Breaking?" Xiao Hua mused to himself, then reached back and tapped his brow.

With a "swish," as Xiao Hua's palm touched his brow, the previously smooth and unmarked forehead suddenly sprouted several layers of patterns. These patterns were either golden yellow, dark green, or silvery white. As the patterns slowly shifted, a faint Buddhist light began to seep out, followed by an eye-like imprint. This imprint flashed with silver radiance, as if an eye were opening.

"Excellent!" Xiao Hua rejoiced and looked towards the four walls.

"This... this..." After looking for a moment, Xiao Hua's expression changed, and he let out a few exclamations. Then, his figure shot through the air, disregarding the most potent glazed gold light that was currently erupting outside.

"My heavens, it's just as I suspected!" As he flew out of the cave and looked back, his face showed sudden realization, and he smiled. "It's just as I suspected! The treasure guarded by the Toad Faced Toad is this mountain peak itself! However, this treasure is too large and is covered by the fire rain of Yunmeng Marsh, making it undetectable by ordinary means!"

"Hmm, perhaps the unique Gilded Fireballs found at this mountain peak are also due to the treasure!"

Perhaps due to his excitement, Xiao Hua had previously ignored the piercing pain. Now that he had discovered the truth, the pain surged like a tide.

"Heavenly Dao!" Xiao Hua raised his head and looked at the already dimming glazed gold light, saying with a wry smile, "How long do you intend to torment me?"

However, Xiao Hua forgot that what he had opened now was the Eye of Delusion Breaking. The world at this moment, within the Eye of Delusion Breaking, appeared as another form: a hazy grayish-white, dense like mountain shadows. Within this grayish-white, countless tiny sparrow-shaped golden lights were falling densely.

"Is this the Immortal Realm?" Xiao Hua was stunned and thought, "Why is it different from what I saw in the mortal world?"

However, Xiao Hua couldn't afford to think too much. He quickly flew back into the cave. The moment he entered the cave, Xiao Hua suddenly had an epiphany. The thought that had flashed through his mind earlier now became clear. Xiao Hua almost laughed out loud: "Haha, I understand! The cultivation techniques used by Mortal Immortals in the Immortal Realm are based on opening meridians within the Nascent Soul using the physical body. My Nascent Soul doesn't need to open meridians again. So, why can't my Nascent Soul directly cultivate Immortal Realm techniques? After all, my Nascent Soul's hundred meridians are all clear, no different from ordinary cultivators!"

However, when Xiao Hua excitedly sat down cross-legged and began to chant the incantation for the Bone Cleansing Technique, channeling the Immortal Spiritual Energy, he discovered that the Immortal Spiritual Energy was completely unmovable. Xiao Hua clearly sensed the Immortal Spiritual Energy, but it felt as heavy as ten thousand pounds.

"Could it be because I don't have Emanated Thought?" Xiao Hua stopped, puzzled.

After all, Xiao Hua was a supreme being from the mortal world. He had created his own cultivation techniques and modified others'. After much thought, he had a general idea.

"It's still the laws! This Bone Cleansing Technique is based on the physical body, and the laws followed by the physical body are different from those of the Nascent Soul. Although my Nascent Soul is activating the Bone Cleansing Technique, it's merely a superficial display, just like when I practiced martial arts as a child – it's all show."

"Although my Nascent Soul Body is a Starry Sky Nascent Soul and has undergone transformation through Tribulation, the laws that constitute the Nascent Soul Body are still chaotic. The sunlight and moonlight radiance actually attack those fragments of laws belonging to the human world. If these law fragments are not cleared with Spirit Cleansing Liquid, even if I can cultivate, my Dao foundation will surely be unstable."

"Therefore, what I can do now is to first find some edible healing elixirs to heal the hundred-plus Scattered Infants. As for myself, I can only maintain my current Immortal Power and wait until I find a suitable cultivation technique to soar to the heavens!"
