Wow!
Shui Miao nearly cursed out loud—after painstaking cultivation, his spiritual energy had vanished in an instant!
“Great Immortal, what—what happened?”
Connected to the formation, the old man naturally knew that Shui Miao’s spiritual energy had been drained away, but he pretended not to know. He still hoped that Shui Miao could help him escape from the formation.
With his spiritual energy gone, Shui Miao felt a pang of pain in his heart. Yet he forced himself to appear indifferent. Thinking quickly, he said, “This evil formation tightly binds your soul, preventing you from escaping. It seems I can’t save you with spiritual energy, but I can try using immortal energy instead. However, you must cooperate fully.”
“Fine! I’ll do whatever you say.”
The old man was desperate to leave. He had stayed inside far too long and had no desire to remain.
While directing his Soul Devouring Force toward the formation, Shui Miao explained to the old man that he must maintain a willing mindset and help prevent the formation from activating itself.
The old man nodded repeatedly, promising full cooperation.
Shui Miao activated half of his Soul Devouring Force, which instantly enveloped the white jade. The Soul Devouring Force had tremendous penetration power and quickly seeped into the jade, corroding the drop of blood inside.
This time, with the old man’s full cooperation, the formation did not activate itself.
As the blood was devoured and eliminated, Shui Miao suddenly felt a dizzying whirl. The scenery around him shifted, and he found himself back inside his physical body on the surface.
Seeing Shui Miao awaken, Lin Xue and the others immediately felt relieved.
Shui Miao had no time to attend to them. He calmed his mind and focused his senses to probe the underground tomb once more. He discovered that the golden box inside the tomb was now empty, and the old man had indeed become free—he was now inside the tomb.
Suddenly, Shui Miao also realized that his spiritual energy had mysteriously returned!
Holy crap!
Shui Miao nearly cursed out loud. The spiritual energy he had painstakingly cultivated was actually gone in an instant!
“Great Immortal, what… what happened?”
The old man was connected to the great formation and naturally knew that Shui Miao’s spiritual energy had been erased by it. However, he could only pretend not to know because he still wanted Shui Miao to help him escape from the formation.
Though heartbroken over the loss of his spiritual energy, Shui Miao had to pretend it didn’t matter. After a moment of thought, he said, “This evil formation tightly traps your soul, making it impossible for you to break free. It seems my spiritual energy alone can’t save you, but I can try using immortal energy instead. However, you must cooperate fully.”
“Alright! I’ll do whatever you ask.”
The old man was desperate to leave. He had been trapped for far too long and couldn’t bear to stay any longer.
While controlling the Spirit Devouring Force, Shui Miao explained to the old man that he needed to maintain a willing mindset and strive to keep the formation from activating.
The old man nodded repeatedly, willing to cooperate fully.
Shui Miao channeled half of his Spirit Devouring Force, enveloping the white jade stone in an instant. The force had extremely strong permeability, seeping into the jade and immediately beginning to corrode the drop of blood.
This time, with the old man’s full cooperation, the formation did not activate on its own.
When the blood was completely erased by the Spirit Devouring Force, Shui Miao suddenly felt a dizzying swirl before his eyes. The scenery shifted, and he found himself back in his physical body on the surface.
Seeing Shui Miao awake, Lin Xue and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Shui Miao had no time to explain to them. Calming his mind, he once again sensed the underground tomb and discovered that the golden box inside was now empty. The old man, now free, was still in the tomb.
Suddenly, Shui Miao realized that his spiritual energy had somehow returned!
As his thoughts shifted, he sensed the Meditation Stone—it had unknowingly entered his mental realm!
In Shui Miao’s mental realm, there had originally been five stone tablets.
Now, they were replaced by the mysterious formation. The entire realm was filled with an eerie blue energy, and the blood within the white jade had disappeared, replaced by a dark Spirit Devouring Force!
To Shui Miao’s surprise, the Spirit Devouring Force could actually be used in place of blood!
But Shui Miao wasn’t reassured. The Spirit Devouring Force was something he had cultivated later—how could it compare to his own blood?
So, Shui Miao transferred a drop of his blood to replace the Spirit Devouring Force.
Instantly, a flood of information surged into his mind.
All of it pertained to the formation: every talisman, every spirit stone, their functions, the formation’s transformations and applications, and even the mysterious eerie blue energy—everything appeared clearly in Shui Miao’s consciousness.
The formation required spiritual energy to operate. The stronger the spiritual energy, the more miraculous its effects.
The difference between Shui Miao and the old man was that the old man lacked a physical body, which was why he was trapped by the formation.
Moreover, the old man had no spiritual energy, making it impossible for him to escape.
Another point was that without sufficient spiritual energy to sustain it, many of the formation’s functions remained dormant. If the spiritual energy depleted to a certain level, the formation would even automatically erase the blood imprint in the white jade, causing the master who had bonded with it by blood to lose their memories. Over time, it could even completely erase the master’s soul.
Then, the formation would enter a dormant state, waiting for a new master.
Because Shui Miao had spiritual energy to sustain it, he unlocked several powerful formations and gained information about them.
It turned out that the talismans on the spirit stones were all divine symbols from the immortal realm. These symbols were incredibly powerful and mystical. Once activated, they could communicate with the gods of the immortal realm, producing astonishing and unimaginable effects.
For example, they could transplant illusions into others’ minds, simulating an entirely new world for them.
Or they could communicate with the God of Thunder and Goddess of Lightning, the Wind God and Rain Master, to alter the weather.
They could even summon immortal warriors, celestial soldiers, and generals to subdue demons, move mountains, and overturn seas!
However, the more powerful the formation, the more spiritual energy—or even immortal energy—it required.
At his current level of cultivation, Shui Miao could only transplant illusions into others’ mental worlds, creating ethereal and surreal imagery.
Once he had amassed sufficient immortal energy, Shui Miao would not only be capable of conversing with deities and immortals but also of summoning celestial warriors and commanders, and even achieving feats that were beyond the realm of imagination.
The only thing Shui Miao couldn’t understand was: Who had created such an incredible treasure? Why had such a powerful artifact ended up in the mortal world, buried in a tomb as funerary goods, and used to imprison a forgetful old man?
The mystery behind it all greatly piqued Shui Miao’s curiosity.
“Yes! I’ll start with the old man!”
Shui Miao quickly sat down again, spreading his spiritual sense to probe the situation in the tomb below.
The old man’s soul drifted aimlessly, gazing confusedly at the treasures in the tomb. As his soul absorbed Yin energy, it grew stronger bit by bit. Gradually, it seemed he remembered something. He passed through the giant stone and arrived at the guardian hall.
Suddenly, the wolf spirit guards awoke.
The old shaman in black robes also stirred, opening his eyes!
“Khan!”
“Great Khan, you’ve finally returned!”
The old shaman trembled as he took a few steps forward, then knelt on one knee before the old man, his voice filled with emotion.
The pack of wolf spirits also bowed their heads.
“You are… you are…”
The old man stared at the shaman, struggling to remember, but for the moment, he couldn’t recall who this old man was.
“Great Khan, you don’t remember me?”
The black-robed shaman stood up. “Great Khan, I am your Grand Shaman, Wule’erzhen!”
“What?”
The old man clutched his head. “What’s wrong with my head? What’s happening?”
Once memories were erased, restoring them was no easy task.
“No way!”
Hearing the shaman’s words, Shui Miao was utterly shocked.
He could hardly believe that this soul was actually the soul of Genghis Khan!
No wonder Genghis Khan had been able to unify Asia and sweep through Europe—it turned out he had relied on the power of this formation!
Shui Miao suddenly recalled a document he had read before, which mentioned that Eurasia had long suffered from flooding and harsh weather. However, during the years of Genghis Khan’s rise, the climate had been favorable, with timely rain and gentle weather, allowing horses to graze wherever they went… This meant that Genghis Khan had also been a cultivator back then!
Moreover, this treasure had been passed down from ancient times, so there was no conspiracy behind it… As Shui Miao pondered, he suddenly sensed the black-robed shaman beginning to chant incantations directed at the old man. It seemed he was attempting to awaken the old man’s memories!
Previously, his inner realm had contained five stone tablets.
Now, they were replaced by that mysterious formation. The entire realm was filled with a strange, deep-blue energy, and the blood within the white jade had vanished, replaced by a stream of black Soul Devouring Force.
Surprisingly, Shui Miao discovered that the Soul Devouring Force could actually function like blood!
But he remained suspicious. After all, the Soul Devouring Force was cultivated later in life, not as intrinsic or reliable as his own blood.
So, he redirected a drop of his own blood to replace the Soul Devouring Force.
Instantly, a flood of information surged into his mind.
It was all knowledge related to the formation—the talismans inside, the spirit stones, their functions, the formation’s transformations and applications, and even the mysterious deep-blue energy. All of this information unfolded clearly in Shui Miao’s mind.
The formation required spiritual energy to operate, and the stronger the energy, the more powerful its effects.
The difference between Shui Miao and the old man was that the old man had no physical body, which was why he had been trapped inside the formation.
Moreover, the old man had no spiritual energy, making escape impossible.
Holy crap!
Shui Miao almost cursed out loud. The spiritual power he had worked so hard to cultivate was gone in an instant!
“Great Immortal, what… what happened?”
The old man was connected to the grand formation and naturally knew that Shui Miao’s spiritual power had been erased by it. However, he pretended not to know because he still hoped Shui Miao would help him escape from the formation.
Though heartbroken over the loss of his spiritual power, Shui Miao had to act as if it didn’t matter. After a moment of thought, he said, “This evil formation has tightly trapped your soul, making it impossible for you to break free. It seems my spiritual power alone can’t save you, but I can try using immortal power instead. However, you must cooperate fully.”
“Alright! I’ll do whatever you ask.”
The old man was desperate to leave. He had been trapped for far too long and couldn’t bear to stay any longer.
As Shui Miao controlled the Soul-Devouring Power, he explained to the old man that he needed to maintain a willing mindset and strive to prevent the formation from activating.
The old man nodded repeatedly, promising his full cooperation.
Shui Miao channeled half of his Soul-Devouring Power, enveloping the white jade stone in an instant. The Soul-Devouring Power had extremely strong permeability, seeping into the jade and corroding the drop of blood within.
This time, with the old man’s full cooperation, the formation did not activate on its own.
When the blood was completely erased by the Soul-Devouring Power, Shui Miao suddenly felt a dizzying swirl before his eyes. The scene shifted, and he found himself back in his physical body on the surface.
Seeing Shui Miao awake, Lin Xue and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Shui Miao had no time to explain to them. Calming his mind, he once again sensed the underground tomb and discovered that the golden box inside was now empty, with nothing left. The old man, now free, was still inside the tomb.
Suddenly, Shui Miao realized that his spiritual power had returned at some point!
As his thoughts shifted, he sensed the Meditation Stone—it had unknowingly entered his mental realm!
In Shui Miao’s mental realm, there had originally been five stone tablets.
Now, they were replaced by the miraculous grand formation. The entire mental realm was filled with mysterious dark blue energy, and the blood within the white jade had disappeared, replaced by a surge of black Soul-Devouring Power!
To Shui Miao’s surprise, the Soul-Devouring Power could actually serve as a substitute for blood!
But Shui Miao wasn’t entirely at ease. The Soul-Devouring Power was cultivated after all—how could it compare to his own blood?
So, Shui Miao transferred a drop of his blood to replace the Soul-Devouring Power.
Instantly, a flood of information surged into his mind.
All of it pertained to the grand formation—the talismans, the spirit stones, their functions, the formation’s transformations and applications, and even the mysterious dark blue energy. Every detail appeared clearly in Shui Miao’s consciousness.
The formation required spiritual power to operate. The stronger the spiritual power, the more miraculous its effects.
The difference between Shui Miao and the old man was that the old man lacked a physical body, which was why he was trapped within the formation.
Moreover, the old man had no spiritual power, making it impossible for him to escape.
Another crucial aspect was that without adequate spiritual energy to sustain it, many of the formation’s functions remained inactive. If the spiritual energy fell below a certain threshold, the formation would automatically erase the blood imprint on the white jade, causing the master who had performed the blood oath to gradually lose their memories. Over time, it could even completely obliterate the master’s soul.
Then, the formation would enter a dormant state, waiting for a new master.
Because Shui Miao had spiritual power to sustain it, he unlocked several powerful formations and gained information about them.
It turned out that the talismans on the spirit stones were all divine symbols from the immortal realm. These symbols were incredibly powerful and mystical. Once activated, they could communicate with the gods of the immortal realm, producing astonishing and almost unimaginable miraculous effects.

However, the more powerful the formation, the more spiritual power—or even immortal power—it required.
At his current level of cultivation, Shui Miao could only transplant illusions into others’ mental worlds, creating fantastical scenes for them.
Once he cultivated enough immortal power, Shui Miao would not only be able to communicate with immortals and gods but also summon celestial soldiers and generals, and even accomplish far more unimaginable feats.
Yet, what puzzled Shui Miao was: Who could have created such an incredible treasure? Why would such a powerful artifact end up in the mortal world, buried in a tomb as funerary goods, and even imprison a forgetful old man?
The story behind all this sparked Shui Miao’s immense curiosity.
“Yes! I should start with the old man!”
Shui Miao quickly sat down again, spreading his divine sense to observe the situation in the tomb below.
The old man’s soul drifted aimlessly, gazing confusedly at the treasures in the tomb. As his soul absorbed Yin energy, it grew stronger bit by bit. Gradually, it seemed he remembered something. He passed through a giant stone and arrived at the guardian hall.
Suddenly, the wolf spirit guards awoke.
The old shaman in black robes also stirred, opening his eyes!
“Khan!”
“Great Khan, you have finally returned!”
The old shaman trembled as he took a few steps forward, then knelt on one knee before the old man, his voice filled with emotion.
The wolf spirits also bowed their heads in respect.
“You are… you are…”
The old man stared at the shaman, struggling to recall, but for the moment, he couldn’t remember who this old man was.
“Great Khan, you don’t remember me?”
The black-robed shaman stood up. “Great Khan, I am your grand shaman, Wule’erzhen!”
“What?”
The old man clutched his head. “What’s wrong with my head? What’s happening?”
Once memories were erased, restoring them was no easy task.
“No way!”
Hearing the shaman’s words, Shui Miao was utterly shocked.
He could hardly believe that this soul was actually the soul of Genghis Khan!
No wonder Genghis Khan was able to unify Asia and sweep through Europe—it turns out he had relied on the power of this grand formation!
Shui Miao suddenly recalled a document he had read before, which mentioned that Eurasia had long suffered from excessive rainfall and harsh weather. However, during the years of Genghis Khan’s rise, the climate was favorable, with timely rain and gentle weather, allowing horses to graze wherever they went… This meant that Genghis Khan was also a cultivator back then!
Moreover, this treasure had been passed down from ancient times, so there was no conspiracy behind it… As Shui Miao pondered, he suddenly sensed the black-robed shaman beginning to chant incantations directed at the old man. It seemed he was trying to awaken the old man’s memories!
Then, the formation would enter a dormant state, waiting for a new master.
Because Shui Miao had spiritual energy to nourish the formation, he was able to unlock several powerful arrays, gaining knowledge about them.
It turned out that all the talismans on the spirit stones were divine talismans from the Immortal Realm—extremely powerful and wondrous. Once activated, they could communicate with celestial beings, producing astonishing and almost unbelievable magical effects.
For example, they could implant illusions into another person’s thoughts, creating an entirely new world within their minds.
They could also summon thunder gods and rain deities, altering the weather.
Or they could call upon celestial warriors, immortal generals, to subdue demons, move mountains, and overturn seas!
However, the more powerful the formation, the more spiritual or even immortal energy it required.
At his current cultivation level, Shui Miao could only implant illusions into others’ spiritual realms, creating illusory scenes.
Once he cultivated immortal energy—sufficient immortal energy—he would not only be able to communicate with celestial beings but also summon immortal soldiers and generals, even performing feats beyond imagination.
Yet, one thing puzzled Shui Miao: who had created such an extraordinary artifact? Why had such a powerful treasure ended up in the mortal world, buried inside a tomb as a funerary object, and even kept an old man with lost memories as a guardian?
This mystery greatly intrigued Shui Miao.
“Right! I should investigate through the old man!”
Shui Miao quickly sat cross-legged again, spreading out his divine consciousness to sense the tomb below.
The old man’s soul floated aimlessly, gazing dazedly at the treasures inside the tomb. His soul was absorbing yin energy, gradually growing stronger. As if recalling something, he passed through the stone and entered the guardian hall.
Suddenly, the wolf-soul guards awoke.
The black-robed old shaman, too, stirred slightly and opened his eyes!
“Khan!”
“Khan, you’ve finally returned!”
The old shaman took a few trembling steps forward and knelt on one knee before the old man, his voice filled with emotion.
The wolf souls bowed their heads as well.
“Who are you… who are you?”
The old man looked at the shaman, straining to remember, but for the life of him, he couldn’t recall who the old man was.
“Khan, don’t you remember me?”
The black-robed shaman stood up. “Khan, I am your great shaman, Ula’er Zhen!”
“What?”
The old man clutched his head, “Why does my head hurt so much? What’s wrong with me?”
His memories had been erased. How easily could they return?
“No way!”
Upon hearing the shaman’s words, Shui Miao was deeply shocked.
He couldn’t believe it—this soul was actually the soul of Genghis Khan!
No wonder Genghis Khan had once united the Asian continent and swept across Europe. It seemed he had relied on the power of this formation!
Suddenly, Shui Miao recalled a piece of information he had read before. Records indicated that the Eurasian continent had long suffered from heavy rains and harsh weather, yet during Genghis Khan’s rise, the climate had been unusually favorable—calm winds, gentle rains, and lush grass wherever the horses went. In other words, Genghis Khan himself had once been a cultivator!
Furthermore, this artifact had been passed down from ancient times, without any ulterior motives or schemes.
As Shui Miao pondered, he suddenly sensed the black-robed old shaman begin chanting incantations toward the old man—he seemed to be trying to awaken the old man’s memories!
