As the breath entered his body, Shui Miao immediately felt the small black entity within his spiritual realm suddenly become active, as if transforming into a swirling black vortex slowly rotating and absorbing the spiritual energy within his realm…
“It’s a black hole!?”
Shui Miao was startled and immediately thought of a black hole.
Had he actually cultivated the Soul-Devouring Qi?
Naturally, Shui Miao was unaware of the miraculous nature of the Primordial Golden Elixir. A few breaths of its energy were enough to rival decades of his cultivation.
“What are you doing?”
The supervisor happened to glance back and saw Shui Miao leaning over the Primordial Golden Elixir, his mouth nearly touching the golden gourd. Shocked, he rushed over and pulled Shui Miao away. Shui Miao managed to inhale two more times before being dragged out of the storeroom by Liu Zi, who then angrily confronted him after closing the door: “How could you do this? That’s an elixir for the sect leader! Do you want to get me killed by him?”
“No way…” Shui Miao was taken aback but then smiled and said, “I was just sniffing it, not as serious as you’re making it sound. At most, I won’t go in again, okay?” Though he said this, he secretly thought otherwise—he would definitely go in again if he could. After all, just sniffing wouldn’t cause any real harm.
“No, absolutely not! Even smelling it is not allowed. Once you’ve smelled it, you’ll want more.” Liu Zi glared at Shui Miao and shoved the Yin-Yang Five Elements Elixir into his hands, grumbling, “Here, take it. And remember, you must keep today’s incident a secret. If the sect leader finds out, both of us will be executed. Also, this Yin-Yang Five Elements Elixir has already been removed. If you don’t consume it soon, its spiritual potency will dissipate.”
“That serious!?”
Shui Miao received the elixir, somewhat incredulously.
“What do you think? Would I lie to you for no reason?” Liu Zi angrily turned and walked away.
“Hey, where are you going?”
“I’m going to have some fun. These elixirs aren’t in a hurry to be packed anyway.”
“If they’re not packed soon, won’t their potency fade away?” Shui Miao thought to himself, suspecting Liu Zi of ulterior motives. Why would he go out of his way to bring him an immortal pill? That was too good to be true—there must be a hidden scheme. The Yin-Yang Five Elements Elixir couldn’t be consumed so easily. After considering this, Shui Miao casually took an empty gourd and placed the elixir inside.
Outside the pill room, Liu Zi transformed back into the supervisor. Sensing that Shui Miao had placed the elixir into the gourd, he grew extremely wary and regretted his rashness, realizing he had been too obvious. Reflecting further, he recalled that mortal cultivators often feigned disinterest, secretly consuming the elixir when unobserved. Thinking this, the supervisor calmed himself and no longer felt so anxious.
As Shui Miao placed the elixir into the gourd, he subtly spread out his spiritual sense but found the area strangely unresponsive—his perception detected nothing.
Cautious, Shui Miao refrained from rash action, continuing to fill the gourd while simultaneously absorbing spiritual energy to cultivate.
About ten minutes later, Shui Miao noticed that the spiritual energy within his realm had dwindled, completely absorbed by the black vortex, which had grown larger—now the size of an egg. The vortex required vast amounts of spiritual energy, making Shui Miao feel increasingly hungry, craving immortal pills to replenish his strength.
Shui Miao shook his head, feeling an emptiness in his spiritual realm.
So, he reached for the gourd containing the Yin-Yang Five Elements Elixir…
Outside, the supervisor sensed Shui Miao’s movement and became excited.
But then Shui Miao set the gourd down again, muttering to himself: “No! I mustn’t eat it. What if there’s a hidden scheme inside? However, the intense spiritual aura from the storeroom earlier…”
As the sensation grew stronger, Shui Miao rose and walked to the spot where Liu Zi had stomped his foot earlier, imitating his movements by stomping several times himself—but the storeroom door remained unresponsive.
“This brat is actually scheming to get into the storeroom! Not bad at all!” the supervisor sneered coldly. The storeroom door was imbued with spirit—it wouldn’t open for just anyone. Only himself and the sect leader could open it; others could break their feet trying and still fail.
Sighing, Shui Miao leaned back against the massive stone door and sat on the ground.
He realized he had underestimated things. How could the storeroom of the Ninth Heaven’s foremost sect be opened so easily by just stomping a few times?
But as his spiritual energy continued to deplete, his head grew increasingly painful…
What’s going on?
The supervisor sensed Shui Miao’s pain and began to suspect—could Shui Miao’s Yin-Yang Five Elements cultivation have some flaw?
He didn’t suspect Shui Miao of coming with intent, since it was he who had assigned Shui Miao to the pill room; he could have placed him elsewhere.
“Ahh!!”
Suddenly, Shui Miao couldn’t help but clutch his head and cry out in agony…
The force from the black vortex within his spiritual realm had extended into his soul-body, causing immense pain. But soon, his soul adapted to the transformation, and the pain vanished instantly. Yet Shui Miao was shocked to discover—he had become the black vortex itself! The air currents in the pill room surged toward his soul-body, carrying immense spiritual energy that flowed into him, bringing an indescribable sense of comfort.
The wind howled, the suction growing stronger. Shui Miao couldn’t control it anymore and could only surrender to the natural flow, indulging in the blissful sensation.
At the same time, he sensed his power rapidly increasing, his consciousness extending further and further.
“Monster! You’re a monster!”
Sensing the change in Shui Miao, the supervisor rushed in and grabbed his collar, only to suddenly realize his own spiritual energy was being drained by Shui Miao!
The supervisor’s spiritual energy was formidable, and he was shocked, immediately trying to pull away.
But Shui Miao tightly embraced him, instinctively murmuring, “So comfortable…”
The more spiritual energy he absorbed, the better he felt.
But for the supervisor, it was pure agony!
“Brat, what kind of demonic technique is this!?” the supervisor screamed hysterically, desperately pushing Shui Miao away, attempting to channel his spiritual energy to flee—but found he couldn’t summon any at all. All his spiritual energy was rapidly draining away…
As soon as the aura entered his mouth, Shui Miao felt the tiny black entity within his spiritual realm suddenly spring to life. It seemed to transform into a swirling black vortex, slowly rotating and absorbing the immortal energy within his consciousness…
“A black hole!?”
Shui Miao was startled, immediately thinking of a black hole.
Had he actually cultivated the Devouring Spirit Aura?
Naturally, Shui Miao was unaware of the miraculous properties of the Primordial Golden Elixir. A few breaths of its aura were enough to rival decades of his own cultivation.
“What are you doing?”
The supervisor happened to turn around and saw Shui Miao leaning over the Primordial Golden Elixir, his mouth almost touching the golden gourd. Startled, he rushed over to pull Shui Miao away. Shui Miao managed to take two more quick breaths before Xiao Liuzi dragged him out of the storeroom. After closing the door, Xiao Liuzi angrily confronted him: “How could you do that? That elixir is for the sect leader! Are you trying to get us both killed?”
“It can’t be that serious…” Shui Miao paused, then chuckled. “I was just smelling it. It’s not as exaggerated as you say. How about I just don’t go in anymore?” Though he said this, he thought differently—if he had the chance, he would definitely go back in. Just a sniff, without even opening it—what could be the big deal?
“No, even smelling isn’t allowed. Once you smell it, you’ll want more.” Xiao Liuzi glared at Shui Miao, then handed him the Yin-Yang Five Elements Pill, saying irritably, “Take it. What happened today must remain a secret. If the sect leader finds out, we’re both dead. Also, since this pill has been taken out, you need to consume it soon, or its potency will dissipate.”
“That serious!”
Shui Miao took the pill, somewhat incredulous.
“Nonsense, why would I lie to you?” Xiao Liuzi turned away angrily.
“Hey, where are you going?”
“I’m going to relax for a bit. There’s no hurry to prepare these pills anyway.”
If there was no hurry, wouldn’t the elixir’s potency dissipate? Shui Miao’s mind raced. He felt there was something off about Xiao Liuzi—deliberately coming in to give him a precious pill seemed too good to be true. There must be some scheme behind it; this Yin-Yang Five Elements Pill couldn’t be safe to consume. After a moment’s thought, Shui Miao casually picked up an empty gourd and stored the pill inside.
Outside the pill room, Xiao Liuzi reverted to his supervisor form. Sensing that Shui Miao had stored the pill away and was being cautious, he regretted acting too hastily and obviously. The supervisor then considered that mortal cultivators were often hypocritical—they might not take the pill openly but would sneakily consume it once alone. With this thought, he calmed down and decided not to rush.
As Shui Miao filled the gourds with pills, he quietly extended his spiritual sense but found the place peculiar—his senses could detect nothing.
Not daring to act recklessly, Shui Miao continued filling the gourds while absorbing immortal energy to cultivate.
After about ten minutes, Shui Miao noticed the immortal energy in his spiritual realm dwindling, entirely absorbed by the black vortex, which had now grown to the size of an egg. The vortex’s need for vast amounts of immortal energy made Shui Miao feel intensely hungry, craving elixirs to replenish himself.
Shui Miao shook his head, feeling empty and distressed in his spiritual realm.
So, he picked up the gourd containing the Yin-Yang Five Elements Pill…
Sensing this, the supervisor outside grew excited.
But then Shui Miao put the gourd down again, muttering to himself, “No! I can’t eat it. If there’s a scheme, I’ll be in trouble! But that intense elixir aura in the storeroom just now…” As the craving grew stronger, Shui Miao walked over to the spot where Xiao Liuzi had stomped his feet and mimicked the action. However, the storeroom door remained unresponsive.
“This brat is actually scheming to get into the storeroom! Not simple at all!” The supervisor sneered coldly. The storeroom door was sentient—it wouldn’t open for just anyone. Besides himself and the sect leader, no amount of stomping would open it.
Shui Miao sighed and sat down against the massive stone door.
He realized he had been too naive. How could the storeroom door of the foremost immortal sect in the Ninth Heaven open with a few stomps?
But as the immortal energy in his spiritual realm depleted, Shui Miao’s head began to ache intensely…
What’s going on?
Noticing Shui Miao’s pained expression, the supervisor grew suspicious. Could there be a flaw in the Yin-Yang Five Elements energy Shui Miao cultivated?
He didn’t suspect Shui Miao of having ulterior motives, as he himself had arranged for Shui Miao to come to the pill room. He could have sent him elsewhere.
“Ah!!”
Suddenly, Shui Miao couldn’t bear it anymore—he clutched his head and screamed in agony…
The power generated by the black vortex spread from his spiritual realm to his soul, a change that brought excruciating pain! But immediately after, his soul adapted to this shift, and the pain vanished instantly! To his astonishment, Shui Miao found that he had become the black vortex itself, and the energy flows in the pill room were surging into his soul… The energy contained vast amounts of immortal power, and as it flooded in, he felt incredibly comfortable.
The howling wind grew stronger, the suction force increasing uncontrollably. Shui Miao could only let it happen, naturally enjoying the pleasant sensation.
At the same time, he could feel his power rapidly strengthening, and his consciousness extending further and further.
“Demon! You’re a demon!”
Sensing the change, the supervisor rushed in, grabbing Shui Miao by the collar. But he suddenly found his own immortal energy being drained by Shui Miao!
The supervisor’s immortal energy was powerful, and he panicked, trying to break free.
But Shui Miao embraced him, unconsciously murmuring how good it felt…
The more energy he absorbed, the more comfortable Shui Miao felt.
While Shui Miao was comfortable, the supervisor was in agony!
“You brat, what kind of evil technique is this!?” The supervisor screamed frantically, pushing Shui Miao away and trying to channel his energy to escape. But he found he couldn’t mobilize any energy—all his immortal power was rapidly draining away…
Shui Miao’s state was exactly like the Devouring Star Technique.
“Sorry, I can’t control it!”
Shui Miao’s mind was still clear, but he had no control over the black vortex’s rotation.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, a large elixir gourd nearby was pulled over by the suction force. The gourd split open, and dozens of pills adhered to the surface of Shui Miao’s soul… These pills were extremely potent, immediately satisfying the black vortex’s appetite. The wind around them abruptly ceased.
Gasping for breath, the supervisor glared at Shui Miao and roared, “You brat! You’ve drained half my cultivation and destroyed so many True Origin Pills! Will you join our Jade Void Sect or not? If not, I’ll destroy you right now!”
Even now, the supervisor was still thinking about recruiting Shui Miao.
But at the same time, a massive hammer appeared in his hand. Shaped like a tiger’s head, it looked cumbersome but glowed with a purple light—it was a top-grade immortal artifact. This was the Heaven-Shaking Hammer, left to the supervisor by the sect leader of the Ninth Heaven to guard the sect. There were only three top-grade immortal artifacts in the entire Ninth Heaven. Once activated, its earth-shattering power was nearly unstoppable by anyone in this realm.
In the face of the Heaven-Shaking Hammer, Shui Miao was insignificant.
As the hammer appeared, an overwhelming pressure made it hard for Shui Miao to breathe, filling him with an urge to kneel and submit.
But then, the green light from the jade pendant on his chest flashed, and all the pressure and fear vanished without a trace.
“Huh… wh-what is this…”
The supervisor was stunned, as he too felt an immense pressure and an urge to kneel and submit.
“Whoosh…”
But at that moment, another anomaly occurred…
A beam of white light shot into the pill room from outside. The supervisor saw a flash, and Shui Miao disappeared. He quickly extended his spiritual sense but found no trace of Shui Miao anywhere on the immortal mountain.
“I’m sorry, I can’t control it!”
Though Shui Miao remained conscious, he couldn’t stop the vortex’s rotation.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, a large pill gourd nearby was pulled forward by the suction force. The gourd automatically cracked open, and dozens of pills were drawn to the surface of Shui Miao’s soul-body. The pills contained immense spiritual potency, instantly satisfying the vortex’s hunger. The surrounding winds abruptly ceased.
Gasping for breath, the supervisor glared at Shui Miao and roared, “Brat, you’ve drained half my cultivation and destroyed countless True Yuan Pills! Will you or will you not join our Jade Void Sect? If not, I’ll kill you right now!”
Even now, the supervisor still sought to recruit Shui Miao into the sect.
As soon as the energy entered his mouth, Shui Miao felt the tiny black entity within his mental realm suddenly spring to life. It seemed to transform into a swirling black vortex, slowly rotating and absorbing the immortal energy within his consciousness…
“A black hole!?”
Shui Miao was startled, immediately thinking of a black hole.
Had he actually cultivated the Devouring Spirit Energy?
Naturally, Shui Miao was unaware of the miraculous properties of the Primordial Golden Elixir. A few breaths of its energy were enough to rival decades of his own cultivation.
“What are you doing?”
The supervisor happened to turn around and saw Shui Miao leaning over the Primordial Golden Elixir, his mouth almost touching the golden gourd. Startled, he rushed over to pull Shui Miao away.

After all, he was only smelling it, not opening anything—what could be the big deal?
“No, even smelling is not allowed. Once you smell it, you’ll want more.” Xiao Liuzi glared at Shui Miao, then handed him the Yin-Yang Five Elements Pill, saying irritably, “Take it. What happened in the storeroom today must remain a secret. If the sect leader finds out, we’re both dead. Also, since this Yin-Yang Five Elements Pill has been taken out, you need to consume it soon, or its medicinal power will dissipate.”
“So serious!”
Shui Miao took the pill with disbelief.
“Nonsense, why would I lie to you for no reason?” Xiao Liuzi turned away angrily.
“Hey, where are you going?”
“I’m going to relax for a bit. There’s no hurry to pack these pills anyway.”
If there was no hurry, wouldn’t the medicinal power of the elixir dissipate? Shui Miao’s mind raced. He felt there was something off about Xiao Liuzi—deliberately coming in to give him a precious pill seemed too good to be true. What kind of luck was this? There must be some scheme behind it; this Yin-Yang Five Elements Pill couldn’t be consumed. After a moment’s thought, Shui Miao casually picked up an empty gourd and placed the pill inside.
Outside the pill room, Xiao Liuzi reverted to his supervisor form. Sensing that Shui Miao had stored the pill in the gourd and was being cautious, he regretted his impulsiveness and obvious behavior. The supervisor then considered that mortal cultivators were often hypocritical—they might refuse openly but secretly consume the pill once alone. With this thought, the supervisor calmed down and decided not to rush.
As Shui Miao filled the gourds with pills, he quietly extended his spiritual sense to probe the area but found it peculiarly shielded—he could sense nothing.
Not daring to act recklessly, Shui Miao continued filling the gourds while absorbing immortal energy to cultivate.
After about ten minutes, Shui Miao noticed the immortal energy in his mental realm dwindling, entirely absorbed by the black vortex, which had now grown to the size of an egg. The vortex’s need for vast amounts of immortal energy left Shui Miao with a ravenous urge to devour elixirs to replenish it.
Shui Miao shook his head, feeling empty and distressed in his mental realm.
So, he picked up the gourd containing the Yin-Yang Five Elements Pill…
Sensing this, the supervisor waiting outside grew excited.
But then Shui Miao put the gourd down again, muttering to himself, “No! I can’t eat it. If there’s a trap, I’ll be doomed! But that rich elixir energy in the storeroom just now…” As the craving grew stronger, Shui Miao stood up and walked to the spot where Xiao Liuzi had stamped his foot earlier. Mimicking him, Shui Miao stamped a few times, but the storeroom door remained unresponsive.
“This brat is actually scheming to get into the storeroom! He’s not simple!” The supervisor sneered coldly. The storeroom door was sentient; it wouldn’t open for just anyone. Besides himself and the sect leader, no amount of stamping would open it—even if someone broke their foot.
Shui Miao sighed and sat down against the massive stone door.
He realized he had been too naive. How could the storeroom door of the top immortal sect in the Ninth Heaven open simply by stamping a few times?
But as the immortal energy in his mental realm depleted, Shui Miao’s head began to ache intensely…
What’s happening?
Noticing Shui Miao’s pained expression, the supervisor grew suspicious. Could there be a flaw in the Yin-Yang Five Elements energy Shui Miao cultivated?
The supervisor didn’t suspect Shui Miao of having ulterior motives, as he himself had arranged for Shui Miao to come to the pill room. He could have sent him elsewhere.
“Ah!!”
Suddenly, Shui Miao couldn’t bear it any longer and clutched his head, screaming in agony…
The power generated by the black vortex spread from his mental realm to his soul, a transformation that brought excruciating pain! But immediately after, his soul adapted to this change, and the pain vanished instantly! To his astonishment, Shui Miao found that he had become the black vortex itself, and the energy currents in the pill room were surging into his soul… The currents contained vast amounts of immortal energy, and as it flooded into his soul, he felt incredibly comfortable.
The howling wind grew stronger, the suction force intensifying beyond Shui Miao’s control. He could only let it be, naturally surrendering to the pleasurable sensation.
At the same time, Shui Miao could feel his power rapidly increasing, and his consciousness extending further and further.
“Demon! You’re a demon!”
Sensing the change in Shui Miao, the supervisor rushed in. He grabbed Shui Miao by the collar but suddenly found his own immortal energy being drained by Shui Miao!
The supervisor’s immortal energy was potent, and he panicked, trying to break free.
But Shui Miao wrapped his arms around the supervisor, unconsciously murmuring how good it felt…
The more immortal energy he absorbed, the more comfortable Shui Miao felt.
While Shui Miao reveled in comfort, the supervisor suffered!
“You brat, what kind of evil technique is this!?” the supervisor screamed hysterically, struggling to push Shui Miao away. He tried to channel his immortal energy to escape but found he couldn’t mobilize it at all—all the energy in his body was rapidly draining away…
Shui Miao’s state was exactly like the Energy Absorption Technique.
“Sorry, I can’t control it!”
Shui Miao’s mind remained clear, but he had no control over the black vortex’s rotation.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, a large elixir gourd nearby was pulled over by the suction force. The gourd split open automatically, and dozens of pills inside adhered to the surface of Shui Miao’s soul… These pills were extremely potent, immediately satisfying the black vortex’s appetite. The wind around them abruptly ceased.
Gasping for breath, the supervisor glared at Shui Miao and roared, “You brat! You’ve depleted half of my cultivation and destroyed so many True Origin Pills! Will you join our Jade Void Sect or not? If not, I’ll destroy you right now!”
Even now, the supervisor was still thinking about recruiting Shui Miao.
But at the same time, a massive hammer appeared in his hand. The hammer, shaped like a tiger’s head, looked cumbersome but radiated a purple glow—it was a top-grade immortal artifact. This was the Sky Shaking Hammer, left to the supervisor by the sect leader of the Ninth Heaven to guard the sect. There were only three top-grade immortal artifacts in the entire Ninth Heaven. Once unleashed, its earth-shattering power was nearly unstoppable by anyone in the Ninth Heaven.
In the face of the Sky Shaking Hammer, Shui Miao was merely a fleeting cloud.
As the hammer appeared, an overwhelming pressure bore down on Shui Miao, making him feel as if he wanted to kneel and submit.
But then, the jade pendant on his chest flashed with a green light, and all the pressure and fear vanished without a trace.
“Huh… wh-what is this…”
The supervisor was stunned, as he too felt an immense pressure and an urge to kneel and submit.
“Whoosh…”
At that moment, another anomaly occurred…
A beam of white light shot into the pill room from outside. The supervisor saw a flash of white light, and Shui Miao disappeared. He quickly extended his spiritual sense to search but found no trace of Shui Miao anywhere on the entire immortal mountain.
Before such a weapon, Shui Miao was but a wisp of cloud.
As soon as the hammer appeared, Shui Miao felt an overwhelming pressure that made him want to kneel and submit.
But then, a green glow suddenly flashed from the jade pendant on Shui Miao’s chest, instantly dispelling all pressure and fear.
“Eh… What is this…?”
The supervisor was stunned, as he too suddenly felt an immense pressure and an urge to kneel and submit.
“Whoosh…”
At that moment, something strange happened again…
A beam of white light suddenly shot into the pill room from outside. The supervisor barely saw the flash before Shui Miao vanished. He immediately spread his spiritual sense to search, but could not find the slightest trace of Shui Miao anywhere on the immortal mountain.
