Shui Miao couldn’t quite believe his own ears.
Bu Fa performed a grand teleportation technique, instantly moving all the clan members within the magical pearl, including Shui Miao, thousands of meters high into the sky.
When Shui Miao looked down again, four monstrous red dragons had already soared out of the Luosha Sea. Each dragon was over a hundred meters in diameter and stretched more than three thousand meters in length, their bodies surrounded by a thick aura of blood. One of the largest dragons directly swallowed the blood mist formed from the Saint-Demon Devouring Heaven Sword, while another devoured the thousand-year-old female ghost Bai Lian. Hua Tianxiong and countless other demons and monsters had no time to escape and were all swallowed up by the dragons!
The four dragons then let out terrifying roars before plunging back into the Luosha Sea, vanishing without a trace.
※※※
This shocking scene left Shui Miao completely stunned.
What terrified him wasn’t merely the dragons’ colossal size, but the unexpectedness of the outcome.
Whether it was the bloodthirsty Hua Tianxiong, the scheming Bai Lian who had sought to seize the Saint-Demon Devouring Heaven Sword, or those demons hoping to profit from the chaos, they had all fought bitterly for supremacy—only to be wiped out in an instant by the dragons!
Shui Miao had originally thought the dragons they were going to fight on the Dragon Island would be no bigger than giant pythons. But now he realized just how wrong he had been.
“They are no ordinary dragons. They are the most ferocious Dragon Kings of the Four Seas of Luosha!” The Luosha Sea soon returned to calm, as if the previous scene had been nothing more than a dream. Even the vastly experienced and powerful Bu Fa was left awestruck. “Quickly, we must leave. This place is no longer safe.”
“Senior, where shall we go?”
Shui Miao wanted to head toward the Luosha Realm, but with Bai Lian already devoured by the dragon, his only hope now lay with Bu Fa.
Shui Miao could hardly believe his ears.
With a grand teleportation spell, Bufa moved all the clansmen inside the magic pearl, along with Shui Miao, thousands of meters high into the sky.
When Shui Miao looked down again, four blood-red evil dragons, each with a diameter of a hundred meters and a length of no less than three thousand meters, had already emerged from the Luocha Sea. Their bodies were shrouded in a bloodthirsty aura. The largest of the evil dragons swallowed the blood mist transformed by the Sacred Demon Devouring Heaven Sword, while another devoured the thousand-year female ghost Bai Lian. Hua Tianxiong and the numerous demons and monsters, unable to escape in time, were also swallowed whole by the evil dragons!
The four evil dragons then let out terrifying roars before diving back into the Luocha Sea and disappearing without a trace.
※※※
This scene left Shui Miao utterly stunned.
What frightened Shui Miao was not just the size of the evil dragons but also the completely unexpected outcome.
Whether it was the bloodthirsty Hua Tianxiong, the scheming Bai Lian who sought to seize the Sacred Demon Devouring Heaven Sword, or the demons and monsters trying to take advantage—all of them had been fighting and scheming, only to be wiped out in one fell swoop by the evil dragons!
Shui Miao had originally thought that the evil dragons they were going to deal with on the Evil Dragon Island were only about the size of giant pythons. He never imagined how terribly wrong that idea was.
“They are not ordinary evil dragons. They are the most ferocious Four Dragon Kings of the Luocha Sea!” The surface of the Luocha Sea quickly returned to calm, as if the earlier events had been a dream. Even the knowledgeable and powerful Bufa was astonished. “Let’s go quickly. This is no place to linger.”
“Senior, where should we go?”
Shui Miao wanted to hurry to the Luocha Realm, but unfortunately, Bai Lian had been swallowed by the evil dragon. If he still wanted to go, his only hope now was Bufa.
“The Four Dragon Kings of the Luocha Sea are super-powerful beings at the level of Immortal Venerables. I am no match for them. Unless my senior brother emerges from seclusion, we stand no chance against them. For now, let’s go to the Luocha Realm together to search for treasures. If we can enter the treasure vault of Forging Sage King Luo Tong and obtain his inheritance, becoming the new Forging Sage King and creating supreme magical artifacts, it might be possible to deal with these Four Dragon Kings. If we still can’t enter the deepest layer of the treasure vault, then we’ll have to let it go. By then, the Jade Void Sect, the Supreme Elder Lord, and the giants of the Netherworld will find a way to deal with the Four Dragon Kings. At that point, this matter will be beyond our involvement.”
Bufa was approachable and easy to talk to, unlike those self-righteous immortals who would clam up after a few words, spouting nonsense about heavenly secrets not to be revealed.

Luocha Realm
In the mountains, Bai Feng gathered everyone for a discussion. Shui Miao had been in seclusion for many days without emerging, which was truly worrying.
For a while, everyone had been cultivating in peace.
But these past few days, an army from the Luocha Kingdom had appeared out of nowhere, attacking the mountains daily. If not for the incredibly strong defense of the Five Elements Formation, the mountains would have long been breached.
The formation’s defense consumed spiritual energy.
If the spiritual energy depletion became severe, everyone would suffer.
However, being trapped and fighting desperately would eventually deplete their spiritual energy, putting everyone in danger.
“I think we should stop waiting and just fight them. They may have numbers, but they’re nothing special,” Sima Zongheng said. He disliked being trapped and had always advocated attacking to eliminate the Luocha Kingdom’s army that had come to provoke them.
Zhuge Suanpan sighed. “Our constant forbearance is not a solution. They won’t see our tolerance as magnanimity but as weakness, and they’ll only intensify their attacks. So, I also think it’s time to take action!”
“I’ve considered taking action, but I always feel like they’re holding back too. If we act and they see our true strength, they might go all out, leaving us no room for maneuver,” Bai Feng said with a furrowed brow, hoping Shui Miao would emerge from seclusion soon so they could decide whether to stay or leave.
“Elder Sister! That may be true, but we can’t afford to drag this out any longer! It’s better to go all out, kill all the ghost soldiers and generals attacking us, and intimidate them!”
“Elder Sister, I also think this is the only way now!”
Sima Zongheng and Zhuge Suanpan both felt they should take the initiative and strike fear into their enemies.
“…”
After careful consideration, Bai Feng saw no other option and had to agree.
Thus, the ghost generals began preparations.
To the east of the Five Elements Formation, thousands of tall military camps were stationed. Every day, over ten thousand ghost soldiers and generals clad in armor and riding skeletal warhorses would come to attack the formation. Logically, thousands of camps should accommodate at least a hundred thousand ghost soldiers, yet only ten thousand came daily to attack. This made Bai Feng suspicious, so she had been hesitant to act rashly.
“Attack!”
Suddenly, Bai Feng let out a fierce cry, channeling her Yin energy to snap the enemy’s command flag from a distance!
Immediately after, the two strategists waved their battle flags, directing the ghost generals to split into five teams and charge out amidst the chaos.
Of course, under the strategists’ command, the ghost generals advanced in formation.
“Woo woo woo woo…”
Suddenly, a series of horn blasts rang out.
Under Bai Feng’s watch, the three largest tents in the distance were thrown open, revealing three giant mammoth war elephants carrying several ghost generals in gleaming armor.
“So there was an ambush after all!”
Bai Feng’s heart tightened, and she urgently urged the two strategists to end the battle quickly.
Seeing the mammoth war elephants, Sima Zongheng and Zhuge Suanpan were also shocked. They quickly waved their flags to change the formation. A thick mist suddenly rose at the front lines, allowing the ghost generals to use the cover to slaughter the enemy rapidly. From atop the distant mammoth war elephants, a general in golden armor suddenly waved his hand. The horns fell silent, replaced by the thunderous beat of war drums. Thousands of tents were thrown open, revealing thousands of mammoth war elephants!
The mammoth war elephants were as massive as white apes, clad in heavy armor with numerous pouches. Each pouch contained a skeleton ghost general carrying a long spear and a curved bow. From afar, they looked like mobile arrow towers or unstoppable siege engines.
As the war drums grew increasingly urgent, the mammoth war elephants quickened their pace, pressing rapidly toward the mountains.
The ground shook, stirring up clouds of dust.
Their momentum was like a rolling armored tank division, creating an overwhelming sense of pressure.
“Fire!”
Suddenly, a commander on one of the mammoth war elephants raised a flag with the character for “fire.”
All the ghost generals in the pouches on the mammoth war elephants lit fiery arrows.
Seeing this, Bai Feng urgently shouted, “Quick, order everyone to retreat!”
“It’s too late. We have to use earth escape now!”
Sima Zongheng’s expression was grave as he frantically waved the earth escape command flag.
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh…”
A series of sharp whistles filled the air as a hundred thousand fiery arrows shot toward the mountains.
Seeing the direction of the arrows, Zhuge Suanpan exclaimed, “They’re planning to burn the mountains! We underestimated them.”
“Stop wasting time! Take cover now!”
Bai Feng shouted, hastily dodging.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
Suddenly, a wind rose.
A series of black hurricanes swept across the sky, blocking all the fiery arrows. The hurricanes, like tidal waves, swept up everything in their path—including the massive mammoth war elephants—and tossed them thousands of meters away.
In mid-air, Bufa’s figure appeared.
“What’s happening? Where did this wind come from?!”
Sima Zongheng looked around in terror and suddenly noticed a group of dwarves flying toward them.
Bufa, clad in purple robes, landed on the platform and nodded to everyone.
“Ha! It seems I returned just in time!”
The magic pearl vanished, and Shui Miao and the numerous dwarves landed safely, all looking relieved.
“It’s Shui Miao!”
“Seventh Brother, it’s really him…”
Everyone was stunned at the sight of Shui Miao.
“Shui Miao, what’s going on? Why were you outside? And who are these people?” Bai Feng suddenly noticed Bru and exclaimed in surprise, “Ah! I understand! It was you, Bru, and the others who helped us!”
“Hehe, Sister Bai Feng!” Bru stepped forward cheerfully. “Let me introduce everyone first.”
Bru made the introductions, allowing everyone to get acquainted.
Concerned about his physical body, Shui Miao hurried into the cave and entered the Immortal Spirit Mirror.
Inside the mirror, Shui Miao’s physical body was seated in meditation.
The mountain had disappeared, and there was no chest beneath it.
Shui Miao’s soul returned to his body, restoring his memories.
Combining his previous memories, Shui Miao realized that everything except the appearance of the Mysterious Lady of the Ninth Heaven was real. With a slight thought, he found that his mental world was exactly as he remembered—a vast and immense realm! Moreover, he could now freely control the Yin-Yang Five Elements immortal power at will.
“Excellent!”
“Now I can join everyone in treasure hunting!”
“I must enter the treasure vault of Forging Sage King Luo Tong, obtain his inheritance, become the new Forging Sage King, create supreme magical artifacts, and then march into the immortal world to kill Tai Chang Zhenren and avenge my father!”
“Right! Bufa is incredibly powerful. I can learn some spells from him. Even if I have to shamelessly cling to him, I must become his disciple as long as I can gain skills!”
With these thoughts, Shui Miao immediately stepped out of the Immortal Spirit Mirror.
On the mountaintop platform, Bufa, who had been chatting with everyone, suddenly sensed a powerful presence inside the cave. Startled, he spread his divine sense to investigate and was astonished to find that the powerful presence was Shui Miao. He instantly teleported into the cave to Shui Miao’s side, looking at him in disbelief. “Shui Miao, is that really you? Your physical body has actually reached the peak of the Great Golden Immortal realm? Incredible, simply incredible! But why is your soul so weak?”
Bufa fully extended his divine sense to examine Shui Miao’s physical body and excitedly added, “No, no, you’re still one crucial step away from truly reaching the peak of the Great Golden Immortal realm! Hahaha… You’re incredibly lucky! To encounter me at this step—your fortune is truly at its peak!”
“What? Senior, what am I missing?”
Shui Miao couldn’t contain his excitement. He knew that only Bufa could help him now.
Bu Fa was approachable and easygoing, unlike those self-righteous immortals who would speak only in cryptic hints about heavenly secrets.
※※※
**Luosha Realm**
Deep within the mountains, Bai Feng gathered everyone for a discussion. Shui Miao had been in seclusion for many days without emerging, causing growing concern.
Recently, everyone had been peacefully cultivating.
But for the past couple of days, an army from the Luosha Kingdom had suddenly appeared, attacking the mountain daily. If not for the powerful Five Elements Formation, the mountain would have already fallen.
The formation consumed spiritual energy with each attack.
As the energy drained, everyone began to feel the strain.
Eventually, with their spiritual energy nearly exhausted, they would all be in grave danger.
“I think we shouldn’t wait any longer. We should just fight them head-on. Other than their numbers, they’re nothing special,” said Sima Zongheng, who hated being trapped in a defensive position.
Zhuge Suopan sighed, “Continuing to endure isn’t a solution either. They won’t see our restraint as generosity—they’ll only think us weak and attack even harder. So I agree, it’s time we strike back!”
“I’ve considered striking too, but I feel they’re hiding something. If we reveal our true strength, they might unleash their full power, leaving us no room to maneuver,” Bai Feng frowned, hoping Shui Miao would emerge from seclusion soon to decide their next move.
“Sister! That may be true, but we can’t keep dragging this out either. We might as well go all out and wipe out the ghost soldiers attacking us. That alone might frighten them off!”
“Sister, I agree too. We have no choice but to act now!”
Sima Zongheng and Zhuge Suopan both urged immediate action.
“…”
After much deliberation, Bai Feng saw no other option but to agree.
Thus, the ghost generals prepared for battle.
On the eastern side of the Five Elements Formation, thousands of tall military tents stood. Every day, over ten thousand armored ghost soldiers, riding skeletal warhorses, attacked the formation. Logically, thousands of tents should house at least a hundred thousand ghost troops, yet only ten thousand attacked daily. This discrepancy made Bai Feng suspicious, so she had been hesitant to act rashly.
“Attack!”
Suddenly, Bai Feng let out a fierce roar, channeling her dark energy to snap the enemy’s command flag from afar!
Immediately, the two strategists waved their battle flags, sending the ghost generals to charge in five separate formations.
Of course, the formations were executed under the guidance of the two strategists.
“Wu wu wu wu…”
Suddenly, a series of horn signals rang out.
As Bai Feng watched, three of the largest tents in the distance were suddenly torn open, revealing three colossal mammoth war elephants, each carrying several gleaming-armored ghost generals.
“There was an ambush indeed!”
Bai Feng’s heart tightened, urgently urging the two strategists to finish the battle quickly.
Seeing the mammoths, Sima Zongheng and Zhuge Suopan were also shocked. They quickly changed formations by waving their flags. A sudden mist arose from the front lines, allowing the ghost generals to launch a brutal assault.
On one of the mammoths, a general in golden armor suddenly raised his hand. The horn signals ceased, replaced by booming war drums. Thousands of tents were simultaneously torn open, revealing thousands of mammoth war elephants!
Each mammoth was as large as a white ape, clad in heavy armor. On their backs were numerous pouches, each containing a skeletal ghost general armed with a spear and a bow. From afar, they looked like mobile arrow towers or unstoppable siege vehicles.
As the drums beat faster, the mammoth formation accelerated, rapidly closing in on the mountain.
The ground trembled, kicking up clouds of dust.
The sight resembled an advancing armored tank formation, creating an overwhelming and suffocating pressure.
“Fire!”
Suddenly, a general atop a mammoth raised a red flag.
All the ghost generals inside the pouches lit their arrows and launched them.
Seeing this, Bai Feng shouted urgently, “Quickly, call them back!”
“It’s too late. We can only go underground now.”
Shui Miao could hardly believe his ears.
Bufa performed a grand teleportation, instantly moving all the clansmen inside the Dharma Pearl, along with Shui Miao, several thousand meters high into the sky.
When Shui Miao looked down again, four crimson evil dragons, each with a diameter of a hundred meters and a length of no less than three thousand meters, had already emerged from the Raksha Sea. Their bodies were shrouded in a blood-red aura. One of the largest dragons swallowed the blood mist transformed by the Sacred Demon Devouring Heaven Sword, while another devoured the thousand-year female ghost Bai Lian. Hua Tianxiong and countless other demons and monsters, unable to escape in time, were also swallowed whole by the evil dragons!
The four evil dragons let out terrifying roars before diving back into the Raksha Sea and vanishing without a trace.
※※※
This scene left Shui Miao utterly stunned.
What frightened Shui Miao was not just the size of the evil dragons but also the fact that the outcome was entirely unexpected.
Whether it was the bloodthirsty Hua Tianxiong, the scheming Bai Lian who sought to seize the Sacred Demon Devouring Heaven Sword, or the demons and monsters trying to take advantage—all of them had been fighting and competing, only to be wiped out in one fell swoop by the evil dragons!
Shui Miao had originally thought that the evil dragons they were going to deal with on the Evil Dragon Island were only about the size of giant pythons. He never imagined how terribly wrong that assumption was.
“They are not ordinary evil dragons; they are the most ferocious Four Dragon Kings of the Raksha Sea!” The surface of the Raksha Sea quickly returned to calm, as if the earlier events had been a dream. Even the knowledgeable and powerful Bufa was astonished. “Let’s go quickly. This is no place to linger.”
“Senior, where should we go?”
Shui Miao wanted to hurry to the Raksha Realm, but unfortunately, Bai Lian had been swallowed by an evil dragon. If he still wanted to go, his only hope now was Bufa.
“The Four Dragon Kings of the Raksha Sea are super-powerful beings at the level of Immortal Venerables. I am no match for them. Unless my senior brother emerges from seclusion, no one can fight them. For now, let’s go to the Raksha Realm together to search for treasures. If we can enter the treasure vault of Forging Sage King Luo Tong and obtain his inheritance, becoming the new Forging Sage King and creating supreme magical artifacts, it might be possible to deal with these Four Dragon Kings. If we still can’t reach the deepest level of the vault, then we’ll have to let it go. By then, the Jade Void Sect, the Supreme Elder Lord, and the giants of the Netherworld will find a way to deal with the Four Dragon Kings. At that point, this matter will be beyond our involvement.”
Bufa was approachable and easy to talk to, unlike those self-righteous immortals who would clam up after a few words, spouting nonsense about celestial secrets not to be revealed.

Raksha Realm
In the mountains, Bai Feng gathered everyone for a discussion. Shui Miao had been in seclusion for many days without emerging, which was truly worrying.
For a while, everyone had been cultivating in peace.
But these past few days, a Raksha Kingdom army had appeared out of nowhere, besieging the mountains daily. If not for the incredibly strong defense of the Five Elements Grand Formation, the mountains would have long been breached.
The formation’s defense consumed spiritual energy.
If spiritual energy was depleted too severely, everyone would suffer.
However, being trapped and fighting desperately would eventually lead to the exhaustion of spiritual energy, putting everyone in danger.
“I think we should stop waiting and just fight them. They may have numbers, but they’re nothing special,” said Sima Zongheng, who disliked being trapped the most. He had always advocated attacking and wiping out the Raksha Kingdom army that had come to provoke them.
Zhuge Suanpan sighed. “Enduring their attacks isn’t working. They don’t see our tolerance as magnanimity but as weakness, and they’re only intensifying their assaults. So, I also think it’s time to take action!”
“I’ve considered taking action, but I always feel like they’re holding back too. If we act and they see our true strength, they might go all out, leaving us no room for retreat,” Bai Feng said with a worried frown, hoping Shui Miao would emerge from seclusion soon so they could decide whether to stay or leave.
“Elder Sister! That may be true, but we can’t keep dragging this out! It’s better to go all out, kill all the ghost soldiers and generals attacking us, and intimidate them!”
“Elder Sister, I also think this is the only way now!”
Sima Zongheng and Zhuge Suanpan both felt they should take the fight to the enemy and make them afraid.
“…”
After careful consideration, Bai Feng saw no other option and agreed.
Thus, the ghost generals began preparing.
To the east of the Five Elements Grand Formation, thousands of tall military camps were stationed. Every day, over ten thousand ghost soldiers and generals clad in armor and riding skeletal warhorses would come to attack the formation. Logically, thousands of camps should accommodate at least a hundred thousand ghost soldiers, yet only ten thousand came daily to attack.

“Attack!”
Suddenly, Bai Feng let out a fierce roar, channeling her Yin energy to snap the enemy’s command flag from a distance!
Immediately after, the two strategists waved their battle flags, directing the ghost generals to split into five teams and charge out amidst the chaos.
Of course, the two strategists personally commanded, and the ghost generals advanced in formation.
“Woo woo woo woo…”
Suddenly, a series of horn blasts rang out.
Under Bai Feng’s watchful gaze, the three largest tents in the distance were flung open, revealing three giant mammoth war elephants carrying several ghost generals in gleaming armor.
“It’s an ambush after all!”
Bai Feng’s heart tightened, and she urgently urged the two strategists to end the battle quickly.
Seeing the mammoth war elephants, Sima Zongheng and Zhuge Suanpan were also shocked. They quickly waved their flags to change formations. A thick mist suddenly rose at the front lines, allowing the ghost generals to conceal themselves within it and swiftly slaughter the enemy. On the distant mammoth war elephants, a general in golden armor suddenly waved his hand. The horns fell silent, replaced by the thunderous beat of war drums. Thousands of tents were thrown open, revealing thousands of mammoth war elephants!
The mammoth war elephants were as massive as white apes, clad in heavy armor with numerous pouches. Each pouch contained a skeletal ghost general carrying a long spear and a curved bow. From afar, they looked like mobile arrow towers or unstoppable siege engines.

The ground shook, stirring up clouds of dust.
Their momentum was like a rolling armored tank division, creating an overwhelming sense of pressure.
“Fire!”
Suddenly, a commander on one of the mammoth war elephants raised a flag bearing the character for “fire.”
All the ghost generals in the pouches on the mammoth war elephants lit fire arrows.
Seeing this, Bai Feng urgently shouted, “Quick, order everyone to retreat!”
“It’s too late. We must use Earth Escape now!”
Sima Zongheng’s expression turned serious as he desperately waved the Earth Escape command flag.
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh…”
A series of sharp whistles filled the air as a hundred thousand fire arrows shot toward the mountains.
Seeing the direction of the arrows, Zhuge Suanpan exclaimed, “They’re trying to burn the mountains! We underestimated them.”
“Stop wasting time! Take cover!”
Bai Feng shouted, hastily dodging.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
Suddenly, a wind arose.
A series of black hurricanes swept across the sky, blocking all the fire arrows. The hurricanes, like tidal waves, swept up everything in their path—including the massive mammoth war elephants—and tossed them thousands of meters away.
In mid-air, Bufa’s figure appeared.
“What’s happening? Where did this wind come from?!”
Sima Zongheng looked around the sky in terror and suddenly noticed a group of dwarves flying toward them.
Bufa, clad in purple robes, landed on the platform and nodded to everyone.
“Ha! It seems I returned just in time!”
The Dharma Pearl vanished, and Shui Miao and the many dwarves landed safely, all looking relieved.
“It’s Shui Miao!”
“Seventh Brother, it’s really him…”
Everyone was stunned at the sight of Shui Miao.
“Shui Miao, what’s going on? Why were you outside? And who are these people?” Bai Feng suddenly noticed Bru and exclaimed in surprise, “Ah! I understand! Bru, you helped us!”
“Hehe, Sister Bai Feng!” Bru stepped forward cheerfully. “Let me introduce everyone first.”
Bru made the introductions, allowing everyone to get acquainted.
Concerned about his physical body, Shui Miao hurried into the cave and entered the Immortal Spirit Mirror.
Inside the mirror, Shui Miao’s physical body was seated in meditation.
The mountain had disappeared, and there was no chest beneath it.
Shui Miao’s soul returned to his body, restoring his memories.
Combining his previous memories, Shui Miao realized that everything except the appearance of the Mysterious Lady of the Ninth Heaven was real. With a slight thought, he found that his mental world was exactly as he remembered—a vast and immense realm! Moreover, he could now effortlessly control the Yin-Yang Five Elements immortal power at will.
“Excellent!”
“Now I can join everyone in treasure hunting!”
“I must enter the treasure vault of Forging Sage King Luo Tong, obtain his inheritance, become the new Forging Sage King, create supreme magical artifacts, and then march into the immortal world to kill Tai Chang Zhenren and avenge my father!”
“Right! Bufa is incredibly powerful. I can learn some spells from him. Even if I have to shamelessly cling to him, I must become his disciple as long as I can gain skills!”
With these thoughts, Shui Miao immediately stepped out of the Immortal Spirit Mirror.
On the mountaintop platform, Bufa, who had been chatting with everyone, suddenly sensed a powerful presence inside the cave. Startled, he spread his divine sense to investigate and discovered that the powerful figure was none other than Shui Miao. He instantly teleported into the cave and appeared beside Shui Miao, looking at him in disbelief.
“Shui Miao, is that really you? Your physical body has actually reached the peak of the Great Golden Immortal realm? Unbelievable, this is truly unbelievable! But why is your soul so weak?”
Bufa fully extended his divine sense to examine Shui Miao’s body and excitedly added, “No, no, you’re still one step away from truly reaching the peak of the Great Golden Immortal realm! Hahaha… You’re incredibly lucky! To encounter me at this critical juncture—your fortune is truly unparalleled!”
“What? Senior, what am I missing?”
Shui Miao couldn’t contain his excitement. He knew that only Bufa could help him now.
“Xiu!”
“Xiu xiu xiu xiu xiu xiu…”
A barrage of ten thousand fire arrows shot toward the mountain.
Seeing the arrows’ trajectory, Zhuge Suopan cried out, “They’re trying to burn down the mountain! We underestimated them!”
“What are you waiting for? Take cover!”
Bai Feng shouted, panicking as she dodged.
“Hu hu hu!”
Suddenly, the wind picked up.
A series of black hurricanes surged across the sky, blocking the fire arrows. Like tidal waves, the winds swept everything away, including the mammoth war elephants, hurling them thousands of meters away.
In midair, Bu Fa’s figure appeared.
“What the hell is going on? Where did this wind come from?!”
Sima Zongheng looked around in terror, only to suddenly spot a group of flying dwarves.
Dressed in a purple robe, Bu Fa landed on the platform and nodded at everyone.
“Haha! Looks like I returned just in time!”
The magical pearl vanished, and Shui Miao, along with the dwarves, landed safely.
“It’s Shui Miao!”
“Little brother, it’s really you…”
Seeing Shui Miao, everyone was stunned.
“Shui Miao, what’s going on? How did you get outside? And who are these people?”
Bai Feng suddenly noticed Bru and exclaimed in shock, “Ah! I get it now—it was Bru and your friends who helped us!”
“Hehe, Big Sister Bai Feng!” Bru stepped forward with a smile. “Let me introduce everyone first.”
Bru introduced the newcomers, allowing everyone to get acquainted.
Shui Miao, thinking of his physical body, hurried into the cave and entered the Immortal Spirit Mirror.
Inside the Immortal Spirit Mirror, Shui Miao’s physical body was meditating.
The mountain was gone, and beneath it, there was no chest.
Shui Miao’s soul returned to his body, and his memories resumed.
Combining his previous memories, Shui Miao realized that everything except the appearance of the Queen of the Nine Heavens had been real. With a slight mental command, he discovered that his domain world was exactly the same as before—a vast and immense realm! His Yin-Yang and Five Elements Immortal energy flowed freely at his will.
“Great!”
“Now I can join everyone to seek treasures!”
“I must enter the treasure vault of Saint-Forger Luo Tong, inherit his legacy, become the new Saint-Forger, craft supreme magical treasures, and then head to the Immortal Realm to kill Elder Chang and avenge my father!”
“Right! Bu Fa is extremely powerful. I should learn some techniques from him. No matter how stubbornly I have to beg, I must make him my master!”
As these thoughts raced through his mind, Shui Miao immediately exited the Immortal Spirit Mirror.
On the mountaintop platform, Bu Fa was chatting with the others when he suddenly sensed a powerful presence inside the cave. Startled, he extended his divine awareness and found that the presence belonged to Shui Miao. He instantly teleported into the cave to stand beside him, staring in disbelief and exclaiming, “Shui Miao, is it really you? Has your physical body reached the peak of the Great Golden Immortal Dao? Unbelievable! But why is your soul so weak?”
Bu Fa extended his divine sense to examine Shui Miao’s body and excitedly added, “No, no! You’re still missing the final step to truly reach the peak of the Great Golden Immortal Dao! Hahaha… You’re incredibly lucky! You’ve encountered me at the most crucial moment. Your fortune is beyond belief!”
“What do you mean, Senior? What am I missing?”
Shui Miao couldn’t help but feel excited. He knew only Bu Fa could help him now.
