Chapter 905 The Power of the Divine Dream Laws

Even more terrifying was the tearing sensation emanating from the nascent soul. Upon looking inside, fine cracks appeared out of thin air on the surface of the nascent soul's Dharma form.

Li Fang was shocked and furious. He frantically used the power of his inner cave to cleanse his meridians, but he could not find any trace of the supernatural power that had touched him.

Feeling the real sensation of his physical body and nascent soul about to collapse, Li Fang's expression finally turned extremely terrified, and he hissed, "What... what kind of demonic magic is this?"

"Knowledge is reality." Jing Yu's voice was ethereal and difficult to discern, as if it came from an endless distance.

"Your spirit believed that your physical body had a wound, so the wound actually appeared."

"Your consciousness believes that your nascent soul is about to collapse, and this feeling is incredibly real, so the nascent soul actually begins to collapse."

Jing Yu suddenly snapped his fingers: "Explode!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a large, gaping hole, the size of a bowl, suddenly appeared on Li Fang's forehead.

The pulsating brain matter was visible between the shattered skulls, yet strangely, not a single drop of blood splattered out.

The cultivator staggered backward, his hands trembling as he touched his forehead, only to find his skin completely unharmed.

"Illusion? No, that's not right..."

Li Fang suddenly burst into wild laughter: "With 20,000 years of cultivation, how could I be fooled by such superstitious tricks..."

The words stopped abruptly.

The sound of bones cracking came from the joints of his limbs at the same time, and his left arm bent backward at an abnormal angle, with white bone fragments piercing through his Taoist robe.

Even more terrifying is that the cave in the dantian area began to collapse, as if an invisible vortex was devouring the nascent soul.

The sparkle in Li Fang's eyes gradually faded, replaced by an endless emptiness.

Watching Li Fang's breath gradually weaken until he disappeared, Jing Yu's expression was complicated.

His soul has now transformed to the Cave Heaven level ahead of the Nascent Soul stage, and due to the wonders of the Spirit Nourishing Technique, the strength of his soul is outstanding even among cultivators in the early Cave Heaven stage.

Combined with the extremely high-level [Divine Dream Law], it completely changed Li Fang's original [cognition].

In Li Fang's "cognition," his physical body was covered in wounds, and his nascent soul was gradually disintegrating—and in reality, these things actually happened.

"Consciousness changes reality..." Jing Yu was somewhat shocked as he used the [Divine Dream Law] to achieve success for the first time.

In his view, the injuries caused by the "hypnosis" of the [Divine Dream Law] earlier were somewhat similar to psychogenic damage.

Just like a classic case from Jing Yu's previous life, the researchers gently touched the subject's arm with a piece of metal at room temperature, but at the same time told the subject that it was a red-hot branding iron.

As a result, many people's skin did develop redness, swelling, and even blisters.

What the "Dream Law" creates today is a strong, usually subconscious, belief or expectation.

This belief was accepted by Li Fang's soul through the power of the Law of Divine Dreams.

Subsequently, Li Fang's physical body and nascent soul were "deceived," causing real changes in specific parts of his body, thus creating objective signs and subjective feelings similar to wounds.

"However, the activation of the Divine Dream Law requires a relatively independent and quiet environment, preferably one-on-one, with no third person nearby."

Jing Yu thought to herself, "This kind of hypnosis at the level of laws has a very high success rate if it is used against cultivators of the same level. However, if there are other people interfering, the hypnotized cultivator will easily be pulled back to reality, causing this attempt to fail."

If it were a one-on-one situation, Jing Yu could easily kill an ordinary early-stage Cave Heaven cultivator with the help of the [Divine Dream Law].

In group battles, some soul-binding techniques can be used, such as the early [Mind-Loss Strike], to inflict soul-binding damage on cultivators in cave realms.

But it is estimated that they can only lose, not kill.

After all, even if their soul is damaged, a cultivator from a grotto-heaven realm can still escape.

Even with the Burning Life Technique activated at full power, Jing Yu's current escape speed is at most on par with the normal speed of a cultivator in the early stage of the Cave Heaven Realm. He simply doesn't have the ability to sustain a chase.

"From now on, I can at least defeat cultivators in the early stages of the Cave Heaven Realm... and even those in the middle stages, I will have the power to protect myself." Jing Yu pondered to himself, looked around to make sure that there was no more dilapidated immortal palace left, and then transformed into a streak of light and flew away.

Just as he was about to visit other immortal palaces, he suddenly discovered that two cultivators were lying outside the dilapidated immortal palace.

One of them had a sword at his waist, and his hair and beard were gray. Even when he was asleep, a sharp sword intent emanated from his body.

The other person was a tall, thin middle-aged male cultivator. Jing Yu stared at the finger-thick causal line between them and was somewhat speechless.

This person was none other than Ye Xingyun in disguise.

What's Fatty Ye doing here?

While Jing Yu was still wondering, Ye Xingyun and the sword cultivator slowly opened their eyes, as if they had just woken up from their sleep.

Upon seeing Jing Yu, the swordsman instinctively drew his sword from his waist, his expression wary, as if he were about to make a move.

Just as Ye Xingyun was about to say something to the sword cultivator, he looked up and saw Jing Yu scrutinizing him from head to toe, and he was startled:

"Huh! Xuan... Xuan Mirror? What are you doing here?"

Jing Yu stood with his arms crossed, looking rather puzzled: "I should be asking you that... What's the meaning of you lying outside this immortal palace?"

"Me?" Ye Xingyun muttered, "It's a long story..."

"Let me introduce you first... This is a senior member of the Sword Pavilion, the Great Sword Immortal Chang Jingsi. He is now a figure who has opened up new realms. You should have heard of the Great Sword Immortal Chang's reputation, right?"

Jing Yu was slightly surprised and cupped her hands in greeting: "So it is Senior Chang Jingsi, the Supreme Elder of the Sword Pavilion. Xuan Jing greets you."

Chang Jingsi had now guessed Jing Yu's identity, and the tense atmosphere that had been building up to confrontation softened.

"You...you are Guan Lingxiao's master? I have heard from young friend Ye that Sword Pavilion...Sword Pavilion's great revenge was largely due to the assistance of young friend Xuanjing."

"I wouldn't dare..." Jing Yu turned to Ye Xingyun: "So what exactly is your relationship with Senior Chang...?"

Ye Xingyun scratched his head and finally explained the whole story: "It's like this..."

"I originally studied the murals of the Laws in the Hall of Auspicious Fortune, and it took me more than 150 years to fully comprehend all the murals in the Hall of Auspicious Fortune... Who knew that the murals in that hall would be automatically destroyed once someone had fully comprehended them."

"With the murals gone from the Hall of Good Fortune, I couldn't just sit idly by, so I decided to go to the Hall of Misfortune to study some more... But I'm only a Nascent Soul cultivator, and it's not safe for me to leave the Immortal Palace alone and go into the wilderness."

"So I contacted Senior Chang, who was studying in the Sword Dao Hall, through communication, and asked him to escort me for a while."

"Who would have thought that decades ago, when we flew over this celestial palace, an invisible wave swept through the palace and pulled us into a dream. In that dream, there was also a mysterious mural of laws, which contained a kind of law called the [Divine Dream Law]."

"This law is truly profound and mysterious, and it seems to be of great benefit to the soul as well. Senior Chang and I knew that we had stumbled upon a great opportunity, so we stopped going to other immortal palaces and stayed outside this palace, occasionally entering dreams to comprehend the laws of the divine dream."
