Past experiences had taught Shui Miao that no matter how intense the pain, panic would never help, as it served no purpose at all.
Shui Miao tried to calm himself, circulating his energy, observing the flow of his internal energy and the changes in his body.
Finally, Shui Miao realized that two artifact spirits were helping him cleanse impurities from his body and refine his physical form. These spirits shared a connection with Shui Miao, yet they lacked independent thoughts, possessing only simple minds. Linked to his soul, they regarded Shui Miao’s body as their own, unable to tolerate impurities within it.
The spirits’ essence was incredibly pure.
Even with cultivation, a human immortal’s body could never match the absolute purity of these spirits.
“I remember now—my life-bound artifact spirits must share memories. They are me, and I am them!”
Suddenly, fragments of memory returned to Shui Miao.
Quickly, Shui Miao infused the spirits with his memories, making them less simplistic.
Indeed, once the spirits possessed Shui Miao’s memories and thoughts, they immediately slowed their transformation of his body.
Gradually, Shui Miao’s pain vanished.
Yet, he discovered that his cultivation had unknowingly advanced to the level of Immortal Sage.
The two spirits, however, remained at the level of Immortal Emperor.
Their spiritual realm’s gate was sealed, preventing them from absorbing Emperor Qi to elevate their power.
With the spirits’ help, Shui Miao’s body continued to transform.
Interestingly, due to their shared soul connection, Shui Miao felt as if he had become three beings—yet because their minds were completely unified, it also felt like a single entity.
In other words, Shui Miao felt as though he had gained two new avatars, though they were merely artifact spirits.
With a mere thought, Shui Miao converted crystals directly into magical energy, feeling his strength grow stronger.
With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he realized his perception range had expanded significantly—several times greater than before.
Surprisingly, the supervisor was still unconscious?
Now at the level of an Immortal Sage with a Supreme Treasure, Shui Miao had nothing to fear—he could now seek revenge.
“Esteemed immortal, are you alright?”
Shui Miao transformed into Zhao Tianyi’s appearance, mimicking his energy, and helped the supervisor up, awakening him.
The supervisor’s head ached, but thanks to Shui Miao’s healing energy, the pain quickly faded.
“Great Immortal, you saved me!”
The supervisor sensed Shui Miao’s power, but found it unfathomable, unable to detect anything. “Thank you for saving my life!”
“Don’t mention it. I was just passing by and noticed a demonic beast, so I eliminated it,” Shui Miao bowed slightly. “From your appearance, you seem to be from the Yuxu Sect?”
“Precisely! May I ask for your honorable name, Great Immortal? I shall repay you in the future!”
Shui Miao waved his hand. “It was nothing more than a simple act. I am Zhao Tianyi, former sect leader of Tianyi Sect. Unfortunately, a demonic beast slaughtered my disciples, leaving me homeless. Now I travel, hunting down these beasts to avenge my loss.”
Shui Miao clenched his fist tightly, his expression darkening.
Upon hearing this, the supervisor was deeply moved. “So you’re Master Zhao! My apologies.”
“Ah, what sect leader? Just a single man now!”
Shui Miao sighed dramatically, playing his role convincingly.
The supervisor quickly asked, “Master Zhao, what are your thoughts on our Yuxu Sect?”
“The Yuxu Sect is a grand immortal sect—undoubtedly excellent.” Shui Miao sensed the supervisor’s intent to recruit him.
Seeing an opportunity, the supervisor eagerly pulled out some notices, only to realize with shock that all his belongings—including treasures stored within his spiritual realm—were gone! Overwhelmed with disbelief, he could barely speak.
Seeing this, Shui Miao bowed again. “Since you’re alright now, I shall take my leave.”
“Master Zhao…”
The supervisor quickly grabbed Shui Miao’s arm. “Since you have nowhere to go, why not join the Yuxu Sect? You must be at the level of an Immortal Elder, right? We will treat you with the utmost respect.”
“Hehe, I’ve devoured many demonic beasts and only recently ascended to the Immortal Sage realm,” Shui Miao smiled slightly.
“I, Immortal Sage? A supreme expert at the Immortal Sage level!”
The supervisor was stunned!
The Yuxu Sect had dispatched disciples to recruit immortals, offering greater rewards for higher-level recruits. If the supervisor could bring an Immortal Sage into the sect, his losses would be compensated, and he would gain a powerful ally for future advancement.
Shui Miao licked his lips. “Joining Yuxu Sect isn’t impossible, but my treatment must be decent.”
“Of course, naturally!” The supervisor nodded eagerly. “With your cultivation level, your treatment will definitely be exceptional.”
“I think so too. After all, Yuxu is a grand sect,” Shui Miao raised an eyebrow. “By the way, what kind of position do you think they might offer me? I heard the Yuxu Sect has a Senior Elder Chang, what level is he, and how would my treatment compare?”
“Senior Elder Chang!” The supervisor hesitated slightly. “He is currently on the verge of reaching Immortal Sage with the help of Immortal Sage Huayuting. He is now the Reward and Punishment Elder of the Yuxu Sect in the Ninth Heaven. Master Zhao, if you join us, you will at least be an Elder, and your treatment should not be worse than his!”
Truthfully, the supervisor himself wasn’t certain.
He felt that an externally recruited Immortal Sage would not be immediately trusted with important roles, so he dared not make promises.
Hearing this, Shui Miao nodded. “Fine then. If I can at least be an Elder, I have no objections. Let’s return to the Yuxu Sect now.”
“Uh… hehe… sure, sure!”
The supervisor felt awkward, thinking to himself, *Well, I’ll just get him there first and report back.*
On the way, Shui Miao casually asked about minor details of the Yuxu Sect, pretending to be clueless, then suddenly changed the topic. “By the way, I heard that Huayuting and his son suffered greatly in the Realm of Rakshasas and came to our Ninth Heaven. Is that true?”
“Yes. Huayiting is now an Elder, but he’s currently away, visiting the Immortal Emperor Kunpeng. His son, Huatianxiong, is now the head of the Immortal Weapon Hall in our Yuxu Sect. When you join, your position should be similar to theirs…”
Privately, the supervisor thought, *Rank depends on ability. What can a wandering immortal really do?*
Shui Miao nodded, already plotting his revenge in his mind.
