Cultivating Immortality Starts with Rubbing a Computer

Chapter 22 The rules are easier
The monks rushed upstream like meteors, heading towards the Hongyun Sword Palace.

Fang Jun blended into the crowd, moving at a moderate pace, his eyes sharp as a torch, observing his surroundings at all times. However, the moment he stepped into the territory of the Red Cloud Sword Palace—

"Alarm! Alarm! The Heavenly Secret has experienced a serious deviation, with the deviation curve reaching 561%..."

"The secret of heaven is fading..."

"Generating analysis report..."

"Red Cloud Sword Palace: The secrets of the heavens are obscure, and the remaining degree of the secrets of the heavens is less than 0.01%..."

Fang Jun's sea of ​​consciousness was originally clear and bright, but now it seemed to be covered by a layer of mist, becoming blurry.

"Is this the flaw in Heaven's way? Is Heaven's secret not revealed?"

Fang Jun pondered in his heart and instantly felt the magic of the secret realm.

The Way of Heaven's Secret is the physical law of the world of immortal cultivation. However, at this moment, this law has disappeared.

If the law's failure was due to its scope of application, it wouldn't be surprising. However, the disappearance of the law was like a complete building model with a single supporting column suddenly removed, yet the building remained standing.

In the world of previous lives, physicists speculated that there are two extreme environments in the universe, one is inside a black hole, and the other is below the Planck length.

Both of these places can break the laws of physics.

However, Fang Jun was surprised to learn that such secret realms without laws existed so widely in the world of immortal cultivation, and that people could pass through them unhindered.

"Start a self-test to see which laws of physics have failed."

"Checking the spiritual laws..."

"Checking the laws of spiritual consciousness..."

"Checking the laws of mana..."

"..."

"Inspection completed. No abnormalities have been found in the spiritual energy laws so far..."

"The laws of spiritual consciousness and magical power have changed..."

"The changes are as follows: the stability of spiritual consciousness and mana will be lower than the normal environment in the world of immortal cultivation. The strength of the energy barrier created by the sea of ​​consciousness and elixir field will be reduced..."

Since immortal cultivation exists in this world, the laws of physics must be the ones supporting this system.

Whether it's spiritual energy, divine consciousness, or mana, they all rely on these laws. Although the world of immortal cultivation often refers to it as "the way of heaven," its essence is still the embodiment of the laws of physics.

"I see. This is probably why the Foundation Establishment Cultivation ...

In this world of immortal cultivation, the second law of thermodynamics still exists, that is, the direction of energy flow is from high to low and cannot be reversed spontaneously.

The reason why cultivators can store spiritual consciousness in the sea of ​​consciousness and store magical power in the dantian is precisely because spiritual consciousness and magical power in the sea of ​​consciousness and dantian are extremely stable.

The energy barrier constructed by the sea of ​​consciousness and dantian can firmly maintain spiritual consciousness and magic power.

However, when spiritual consciousness and magic power flow out of the sea of ​​consciousness and dantian, they will inevitably decay, either transforming into other substances or dissipating in the form of radiation.

This characteristic leads to the manifestation of the monk's momentum, pressure and magical power.

At the same time, this also explains why spiritual consciousness and magic power have a range of effect, and will become completely ineffective beyond a certain distance.

In the imperfect, mystical realm of the Red Cloud Sword Palace, the physical laws that maintain the stability of spiritual consciousness and mana are further weakened, and the strength of the energy barrier is also reduced. For cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage, entering such an environment is like a deep-sea fish entering shallow water. The pressure difference between the inside and outside is very likely to cause them to explode and die.

The reason why the cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage were safe and sound was because their spiritual consciousness and magical power were at a lower level. Even if the strength of the energy barrier decreased, their spiritual consciousness and magical power would not be able to cross the limit spontaneously.

The above situations are all Fang Jun's speculations. In fact, he does not know the life form of the foundation-building cultivator. He simply speculates that it is an advanced Qi-refining cultivator.

“It’s a fantastic environment.”

Fang Jun thought to himself, "If I can understand the fundamental reason for the deviations in the laws of physics, perhaps the universal theoretical model I've constructed for the cultivation world can be further improved. This will also provide a clearer guiding direction for future cultivation."

But soon, Fang Jun collected his thoughts. He could go to the secret realm again later, and now his first priority was to complete the task and get the dusk grass.

……

call out--!"

Dense red sword energy passed through the shadow of a young girl like raindrops. The girl's figure flashed and appeared in the distance. She groaned and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

"Junior Sister Yang, be careful! The outer formation of the Red Cloud Sword Palace is extremely dangerous. The sword energy becomes stronger when it encounters a stronger opponent. For the first time, it is best to only use the mana of the first level of Qi Refining to avoid being overwhelmed."

A man quickly stood in front of the girl and dispelled all the incoming sword energy with a wave of his sleeve.

Junior Sister Yang smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Brother Song, I understand this. But these attacks from the first level of Qi Refining were so terrifying that I had no choice but to use the mana of the second level of Qi Refining. But it was still difficult to resist. You know, I am usually one of the best in the sect in terms of fighting skills."

Senior Brother Song shook his head and sighed, "This is the terrifying thing about those sword cultivators. Their attacks are extremely powerful for their level, far superior to ours."

Junior Sister Yang wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said helplessly, "I originally wanted to go into the Red Cloud Sword Palace to collect herbs, but I didn't expect to be blocked at the door as soon as I entered. I couldn't even get in."

Senior Brother Song consoled him, "Most of the people who come here don't actually have the qualifications to collect herbs. The elders in the sect only let us come here to hone our combat abilities. Just being able to reach the Red Cloud Sword Peak is already a great achievement."

Junior Sister Yang asked curiously, "Then, Senior Brother, who do you think is qualified to collect herbs?"

Senior Brother Song pondered for a moment and pointed to the distance: "First, it is naturally Senior Brother Ye from our Yunyan Pavilion. He is now at the ninth level of Qi Refining and his Yunyan magic is superb. He has long been famous far and wide."

Junior Sister Yang followed his gaze and saw a handsome man surrounded by smoke. When the sword energy attacked, the smoke wavered gently, dissolving the sword energy into nothingness, and he appeared calm and unhurried.

Senior Brother Song continued, "The next one is Taoist Fuchen from Guantian Palace."

Junior Sister Yang was surprised and said, "With the name 'Chen', it seems that this person is an inner disciple of Guantian Palace?"

Senior Brother Song nodded, "That's right. Taoist Fuchen may be young, but he's incredibly talented. He's at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and possesses a ninth-level Qi Refining Life Magical Treasure. He's long been the focus of Guantian Palace's training."

In the distance, a figure surrounded by the phantom of the Star Palace was easily resisting the attack of sword energy, and his every move showed composure.

Senior Brother Song continued, "Finally, there's the Dahe Sect. It's just unclear who will be the main force this time. In previous years, capable disciples of the Dahe Sect have already entered the Red Cloud Sword Palace, but this year, no one knows who will lead the team."

Junior Sister Yang turned her gaze and pointed to a place not far away: "Is that the person who came with Dahe Sect's Senior Sister You Zhimeng?"

Senior Brother Song shook his head: "That's him. I've noticed this guy a long time ago, look--"

As he spoke, he pointed in another direction. A handsome man was seen being attacked by sword energy, looking extremely embarrassed. The sword energy surged like a tide, and he was struggling to cope with it. His body was covered with scars.

Seeing this, Junior Sister Yang couldn't help but exclaimed, "This is too bad! Although his cultivation is at the fourth level of Qi Refining, he was besieged by the sword energy of the fourth level of Qi Refining like this, even worse than me. What's the point of coming here with such fighting ability? This is not training, it's simply suicide!"

Senior Brother Song shrugged. "Perhaps this person is just some arrogant Foundation Establishment master from the Dahe Sect who insisted on coming in despite all the dissuasion."

Junior Sister Yang curled her lips and said, "That's really overestimating your own abilities."
