Chapter 1828: Chapter 1855: Advancement Requirements—Getting Slapped by an Elder
The soul is shackled, not due to the weird tricks of this old man in front of him.
He suddenly recalled the sense of discord in that room. Li Xiaobai must have done something to him but covered it up in some way that he hadn’t noticed.
It wasn’t until the Divine Soul tried to escape that he sensed the anomaly.
This damn guy had fixed half of his Divine Soul on the Mortal Flesh, leaving the flute player unable to flee and suffering a severe blow!
The sound of the flute echoed, bringing countless creatures from all directions rushing forward, trying to delay the attack.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The dazzling white light enveloped the entire village in an instant, turning the flute player and all invading creatures into ashes.
“It’s actually the Law of Neutrality, no wonder…”
“Mr. Jiang will remember you all—Yue Xing, Jade Lotus Village, Li Xiaobai, Shangguan Dong. I will seek vengeance against you!”
The flute player was filled with hatred as he disintegrated and vanished within the light curtain.
The white light lasted for over ten minutes before gradually fading away. The village returned to calmness, and the scenery before Li Xiaobai became clear.
Fang Hua leaned against the desk, Shangguan Dong sat at the main seat, sipping tea leisurely.
Seeing Li Xiaobai lively as ever, he couldn’t help but sigh: “What a pity, in the end, you weren’t determined to be an enemy of the village.”
The previous move was part of the Law of Order’s power, the law!
It could erase all enemies determined by the village while leaving allies unharmed.
He had intended to spend more time waiting for Li Xiaobai to do something against the village rules and then activate the law to destroy this annoying kid along with the flute player.
Unfortunately, plans couldn’t keep up with changes. The flute player actually threatened him using Fang Hua, so he had to act in advance.
Seeing Li Xiaobai unaffected, he was somewhat disappointed.
His hostility towards Li Xiaobai wasn’t enough, and Li Xiaobai hadn’t caused enough damage to the village to be considered an enemy.
“Village Chief is joking, we’re on the same boat. We took down Monk Changsheng first and then Jiang Que together. Our fate is already tightly bound together, we are allies.”
“What did the flute player mean by the Law of Neutrality?”
Li Xiaobai felt anxious. This old guy indeed wanted a double kill, to take him down as well.
The power of that law made him fearful. Shangguan Dong’s understanding of the Law of Order surpassed Monk Changsheng, already capable of wielding part of the Law of Order.
An insidious figure, if he underestimated him for being Mortal Flesh, he would suffer a great loss.
“Control of laws is divided into two ways. One is the cultivator’s own comprehension of the laws. Initially, the law’s power is very weak, but it will grow stronger with training and comprehension. Theoretically, as long as the cultivator keeps getting stronger, the law has no limit.”
“And the Law of Neutrality, like order, is a large fragment of the Law of Order, acting according to set rules. I am akin to the embodiment of the Law of Order walking in the mortal realm, able to channel part of its power. This power is strong but has a limit.”
Shangguan Dong didn’t hold back and explained openly.
In a cultivator’s relation to laws, it’s either complete control or a cooperative relationship.
“I see, thank you for the insight. May I ask how strong is Jade Lotus Village’s Law of Order?”
Li Xiaobai asked curiously.
According to this explanation, his Time Law also belonged to the Law of Neutrality, possessing nearly abnormal power from the outset, though it wouldn’t grow.
“Whether strong or weak isn’t important, the power of order will only be used to protect the village.”
“We’ve agreed; you can go now, but don’t come back to the village.”
Shangguan Dong tapped the table, starting to issue the eviction order.
“Thank you, Village Chief, for your righteous actions. I will remember your kindness and repay it in the future.”
“The green mountains won’t change, and the waters will flow forever; I’m off.”
Li Xiaobai stood up and bolted away. Who knows if the old man has more tricks up his sleeve, if impulsively decided to keep him too, he doubted he could resist.
Sprinting out from the village, pulling Immortal Hu along, he glanced at the concealed Jade Lotus Village behind him, a bit fearful. He’d entered this village twice, feeling each time was more terrifying.
Immortal Hu gazed at the familiar barren land and asked: “What happened?”
“Which senior acted just now?”
“The Village Chief took down that flute-playing guy.”
“You and I are both safe now.”
Li Xiaobai headed towards the main city direction, not seeing a single legendary creature along the way.
“Law Enforcer was taken down…”
Immortal Hu’s eyes were filled with shock. Never had anyone dared to oppose Law Enforcers, let alone take them down. Today’s events were indeed insane.
[Ding! Detected the host experiencing a mental journey…]
[Ding! Detected the host experiencing a psychological journey…]

[Advancement possible…]
[Host: Li Xiaobai.]

[Cultivation Level: Four Parts Observation Realm Layer Four.]
[Advancement Condition: Get smacked by an Elder from a first-class force (0|1) possess at least one Law Power (1|1).]
[…]
Jiang Que’s [Peach Blossom Spring Record] was to materialize the stories from the book and experiences from people’s memories, going through a wave of offense, equivalent to completing a mental journey. Thanks to this difficult Law Enforcer, his cultivation level advanced another level.
However, the advancement condition further up confused him. Being smacked by an Elder from a first-class force? He’d never seen such a promotion condition.
If smacked by an Elder, could he survive?
“I remember you’re a disciple of a major force?”
Li Xiaobai looked to Immortal Hu and asked.
“Indeed, Hehuan Sect’s true disciple, Hu Xianxian!”
Mentioning her sect, Immortal Hu was proud, honored by her true disciple status.
“Is it a first-class force?”
Li Xiaobai asked casually.
“Naturally, one of the top forces of Boundary Sea, the Overlord of Three Talents Star Domain!”
Immortal Hu replied.
Li Xiaobai nodded, with it being the Overlord, things would be easier; his advancement path had a direction.
Heading west from the main city, coming to the area where that gang of second-generation rich kids had gathered earlier.
Now, a large crowd had gathered here, including Ma Niubi, Liaowang, and Yu Huan Shui, along with some men and women, all with bewildered expressions, yet to recover from the storyline.
“Mr. Yu seemed to have had a dream, a very long dream.”
Yu Huan Shui shivered.
“This Niubi too. I saw beauties from all over the world surrounding me, the only regret was Mr. Yu was nearby, not allowing me exclusive enjoyment.”
Ma Niubi showed a lingering gleam in his eyes.
Only Liaowang remained clear-headed, seeing Li Xiaobai approaching, he asked: “Is it resolved?”
“Resolved, the Law Enforcer’s Visualized Item was called [Peach Blossom Spring Record], using a Lower Law of Logic.”
Li Xiaobai nodded.
“There was never any treasure of the Buddha here; someone released false information.”
“What’s the next step, Yue Xing is no longer safe, we’ve faced three waves of organizational attacks.”
Yu Huan Shui spoke up after coming to his senses.
“Go to Boundary Sea.”
“How to get there? No teleportation altar is seen here.”
“We have Immortal Hu, her sect is the Overlord of Boundary Sea, surely there’s a way to take us across.”
