Shui Miao arrived at the immortal palace of Tai Chang Zhenren. Relying on his memories, he headed straight to the secret chamber and successfully located his father’s sealed life talisman.
Without hesitation, Shui Miao placed the talisman into his supreme innate treasure and immediately summoned the purest spiritual energy to nourish his father’s soul.
At that moment, Tai Xuan Zhenren appeared.
“Brother, what… are you doing?”
Tai Xuan Zhenren suddenly emerged behind Shui Miao, his expression serious as he stared at him.
Shui Miao’s heart stirred, his mind racing. He quickly responded, “Brother, you’re here! That Tai Chang Zhenren was such a despicable person. I’m destroying his life talisman so he can never be reborn. Someone like him would only bring disaster to our Jade Void Sect!”
“Brother…”
Tai Xuan Zhenren’s eyebrows twitched. “Brother, what do you think of me?”
“Great! You’ve always been great to me, Brother. Why would you ask that?” Shui Miao feigned confusion.
“Hmph!”
Tai Xuan Zhenren snorted angrily. “Stop trying to fool me. That mountain earlier, the sudden appearance of Ao Hong—was that you summoning him? Or are you Ao Hong yourself!?”
Clearly, Tai Xuan Zhenren was only guessing.
“How could I possibly be Ao Hong?”
Shui Miao’s mind raced. Given the current situation, he couldn’t just leave without a reasonable explanation.
After a pause, he smiled apologetically and said, “Brother, things aren’t as you imagine. Ao Hong is an Immortal Emperor, while I’m merely a newly promoted minor Immortal Sovereign. What power could I possibly have to summon him? Obviously, Ao Hong came here to steal the treasures from our Immortal Treasure Vault, planning to arm his army of demonic beasts. I just happened to leave the vault at the right time. My abilities are limited, and I couldn’t help the sect much. I even embarrassed you, Brother, so… I think I should leave the Jade Void Sect for now.”
Shui Miao used a retreat as an advance, aiming to temporarily suppress the issue.
He felt some regret. He shouldn’t have been so hasty in killing Hua Tianxiong—he should have obtained his memories first to uncover the secret schemes between him and the thousand-year-old ghost Bai Lian. However, Shui Miao believed that someone like Hua Tianxiong wouldn’t be so easily eliminated. He must have hidden other life talismans somewhere else. Staying in the Jade Void Sect would give Shui Miao the perfect opportunity to deal with Hua Tianxiong again.
“Uh…”
Seeing Shui Miao preparing to leave, Tai Xuan Zhenren was slightly taken aback.
He thought to himself: driving Zhao Tianyi away at this moment would severely damage the Jade Void Sect’s reputation, making it even harder to recruit powerful experts in the future. Moreover, even if Zhao Tianyi had his secrets, he hadn’t done anything harmful to their side. On the contrary, he had inflicted a heavy blow on the Hua Yuting faction. Wasn’t that exactly what their faction wanted to see?
“Brother, don’t be upset. I was just puzzled myself!”
Tai Xuan Zhenren quickly clasped his fists in salute, trying to stop Shui Miao. “Today’s incident is indeed very strange. Even if Ao Hong is powerful, how could he break through our formation defenses without any warning and kill his way in? However, this matter will be thoroughly investigated. I’m sure the higher-ups will send experts at the Immortal Emperor level with artifacts capable of reversing time to uncover the truth.”
“I don’t know how powerful those Immortal Emperor-level experts really are. Perhaps Ao Hong really did follow me here. Well then, since I have a grudge with Ao Hong, and to prevent me from causing any more damage to the sect, I’d better leave now.” Hearing Tai Xuan Zhenren’s words, Shui Miao felt that staying in the sect under such restrictions wouldn’t be beneficial. It would be better to conceal his trail, lie low in the shadows, and wait for the right moment.
“This…”
Tai Xuan Zhenren was stunned. He thought that if Zhao Tianyi indeed had problems and possessed such great abilities, his purpose for coming here shouldn’t have been merely to deal with a few minor figures like Hua Tianxiong, so he wouldn’t leave. But in reality, this Zhao Tianyi did take off his brocade robe and jade ornaments, put aside his treasures, and leave without hesitation.
Watching Zhao Tianyi leave, Tai Xuan Zhenren couldn’t help but ask himself: Could I have been wrong?
※※※
After leaving, Shui Miao headed straight for the wilderness, found a secluded mountain, entered it, transformed back into his original appearance, and then quietly emerged to look for Jiao Gong.
Up to this point, the only thing Shui Miao didn’t fully understand was the time-reversal formation.
Therefore, he had to find every possible way to understand how time-reversal formations worked. If the Immortal and Divine Realm indeed possessed powerful artifacts capable of reversing time, that would be a serious issue.
Shui Miao knew that Jiao Gong had an artifact capable of observing past events—an artifact that could peer into the mortal realm.
As head of the Fire and Thunder Division, Jiao Gong was on duty at the Fire and Thunder Institute every day.
Shui Miao was well acquainted with many Thunder Immortals and went straight to find Jiao Gong.
When Jiao Gong learned that Shui Miao wanted to view the Spirit Connection Mirror, he immediately looked troubled. “Brother, you’re really making me anxious. You know, last time I asked you to forge me an immortal treasure, you secretly forged one for yourself. That completely violates the ethics of a blacksmith! And you keep causing trouble everywhere. Aren’t you deliberately trying to ruin me? Now, you want to see the Spirit Connection Mirror…”
Jiao Gong’s attitude was clearly displeased.
What did that mean?
Shui Miao’s mind clicked. Jiao Gong was greedy and not particularly upright. Suddenly speaking like this, could he be hinting for a bribe?
“Hehe, Brother, I was just curious, that’s all!” Shui Miao took out a spatial ring and presented it to Jiao Gong. “Brother, I already told you I won’t use the lightning formation anymore. Why don’t you believe me? This time, I just want to take a look at the structure of the Spirit Connection Mirror. No other intentions.”
The ring contained many spirit stones.
Jiao Gong sensed the ring’s contents, then pushed it back to Shui Miao, his small eyes gleaming. “Look at you, giving me spirit stones for what? You keep them for yourself. But if you’re forging a Spirit Connection Mirror, remember to forge one for me too.” Finally revealing his true intentions, Jiao Gong spoke his mind.
“Oh, is that all? No problem, no problem at all.” Shui Miao smiled knowingly. “Oh, by the way, Brother, I’m currently gathering materials to forge a protective artifact capable of reversing time. When I’m done, I’ll make sure to bring you one as well.” Just then, Shui Miao suddenly thought of his loved ones and friends in the lower realms. A clever idea struck him—he should try to bribe Jiao Gong to look after them specially.
“Great! Oh my, you’re truly my good brother!”
Jiao Gong became instantly excited.
Seizing the moment, Shui Miao mentioned his request to have Jiao Gong look after his loved ones and friends.
After listening, Jiao Gong hesitated. “Brother, this matter is both easy and difficult.”
“Brother, what do you mean?”
Seeing Jiao Gong’s expression, Shui Miao immediately grew serious.
Shui Miao arrived at the immortal abode of Tai Chang Zhenren and, relying on his memories, directly entered the secret chamber, successfully finding his father’s sealed life talisman. Without delay, Shui Miao stored the life talisman within his supreme life-bound treasure, immediately gathering the finest spiritual energy to nourish his father’s soul.
At that moment, Tai Xuan Zhenren appeared.
“Brother, what… are you doing?” Tai Xuan Zhenren suddenly appeared behind Shui Miao, gazing at him with a serious expression.
Shui Miao’s heart stirred, his thoughts racing. He quickly replied, “Brother, you’ve come. That Tai Chang Zhenren is truly despicable. I want to destroy his life talisman so he can never be reborn. Such a person is a calamity for our Jade Void Sect!”
“Brother…” Tai Xuan Zhenren’s brow twitched. “Brother, how have I treated you?”
“Good, very good! Brother, why do you ask?” Shui Miao feigned confusion.
“Hmph!” Tai Xuan Zhenren snorted coldly, anger evident in his voice. “Stop deceiving me. That mountain peak earlier, the sudden arrival of Ao Hong—was it you who summoned him? Or perhaps, you are Ao Hong!?”
It was clear that Tai Xuan Zhenren was merely speculating.
“How could I be Ao Hong?” Shui Miao’s thoughts raced. Given the current situation, he needed to provide a reasonable explanation to Tai Xuan Zhenren.
After a pause, Shui Miao smiled and said, “Brother, things aren’t as you think. Ao Hong is an Immortal Emperor, while I am merely a newly ascended Immortal Venerable. How could I possibly summon him? Clearly, Ao Hong came to plunder the treasure vault, intending to arm his beast army. I just happened to leave the treasure vault at that time. My abilities are limited, and I couldn’t be of much help to the sect. I even embarrassed you earlier, so… I think it’s best if I leave the Jade Void Sect.”
Shui Miao was using retreat as a strategy to temporarily suppress the matter.
He regretted acting so hastily in killing Hua Tianxiong. He should have extracted his memories to uncover the conspiracy between him and the thousand-year-old female ghost, Bai Lian. However, Shui Miao believed that someone like Hua Tianxiong wouldn’t die so easily. He must have hidden numerous life talismans elsewhere. By staying in the Jade Void Sect, Shui Miao could wait for the right opportunity to trouble Hua Tianxiong again.
“Ah…” Seeing Shui Miao’s intention to leave, Tai Xuan Zhenren was momentarily stunned.
He thought that expelling Zhao Tianyi at this time would deal a significant blow to the Jade Void Sect’s reputation, making it difficult to recruit powerful individuals in the future. Regardless of whether Zhao Tianyi had any issues, he hadn’t done anything detrimental to their side. In fact, he had dealt a heavy blow to the Hua Yuting faction, which was exactly what their faction wanted to see.
“Brother, don’t take offense. I was just puzzled!” Tai Xuan Zhenren quickly clasped his fists, trying to dissuade Shui Miao. “Today’s events are indeed very strange. No matter how powerful Ao Hong is, he couldn’t have breached our defensive formation without any warning and barged in, could he? However, this matter will be thoroughly investigated. I believe the higher-ups will send an Immortal Emperor-level expert with a time-reversal artifact to uncover the truth.”
“Immortal Emperor-level experts—I don’t know how powerful they are. Perhaps Ao Hong really did follow me here. Forget it. Since I have a grudge against Ao Hong, and before I cause any more damage to the sect, I think it’s best if I leave.” Seeing Tai Xuan Zhenren’s reaction, Shui Miao felt that staying in the sect would only constrain him. It would be better to conceal his whereabouts, hide in the shadows, and observe the situation quietly.
“This…” Tai Xuan Zhenren was taken aback. He thought that if Zhao Tianyi truly had issues and such great abilities, his purpose in coming here couldn’t have been merely to deal with Hua Tianxiong and his lackeys. Therefore, he wouldn’t leave. But the reality was that Zhao Tianyi had indeed shed his luxurious robes, put down his treasures, and left without hesitation.
Watching Zhao Tianyi depart, Tai Xuan Zhenren couldn’t help but ask himself, “Was I wrong?”
※※※
After leaving, Shui Miao headed straight for the wilderness, finding a secluded mountain peak to enter. He reverted to his original form and then quietly slipped out to find Jiao Gong.
Up to this point, Shui Miao had little understanding of time-reversal formations.
Thus, he had to do everything in his power to comprehend how time-reversal formations worked. If the divine realm truly possessed powerful time-reversal artifacts, the situation would be grave.
Shui Miao knew that Jiao Gong possessed an artifact capable of observing lower realm cultivators and reversing time.
As the head of the Fire and Thunder Department, Jiao Gong was on duty daily at the Fire and Thunder Court.
Shui Miao was acquainted with many thunder gods and was familiar with the place, so he directly sought out Jiao Gong.
When Jiao Gong learned that Shui Miao wanted to borrow the Spirit Mirror, he immediately showed reluctance. “Brother, you’re really putting me in a difficult position! Last time, I asked you to help me forge an immortal artifact, and you secretly made one for yourself, completely violating the ethics of a blacksmith! Moreover, you’ve been stirring up trouble everywhere. Aren’t you deliberately trying to harm me? Now, you even want to see the Spirit Mirror…”
Jiao Gong’s attitude was clearly displeased.
What did this mean?
Shui Miao’s thoughts stirred. He realized that Jiao Gong was greedy and not as upright as he seemed. Suddenly bringing this up, was he hinting at wanting a bribe?
“Hehe, brother, I was just curious!” Shui Miao took out a spatial ring and handed it to Jiao Gong. “Brother, I’ve already said I won’t use that thunder formation anymore. Why don’t you believe me? This time, I just want to study the structure of the Spirit Mirror’s formation. Nothing more.”
The ring contained many spirit stones.
Jiao Gong sensed the contents of the ring but pushed it back to Shui Miao, his eyes narrowing. “What are you giving me spirit stones for? Keep them for yourself. But if you ever forge a Spirit Mirror, remember to make one for me too.” Jiao Gong finally revealed his true intentions.
“So that’s what it is. No problem, no problem.” Shui Miao smiled knowingly. “By the way, brother, I’m currently gathering materials to forge a time-reversal protective artifact. When it’s done, I’ll bring you one too.” In that moment, Shui Miao thought of his family and friends in the lower realm. An idea struck him, and he decided to bribe Jiao Gong to ensure his loved ones would be well taken care of.
“Great! Ah, you’re truly a good brother!” Jiao Gong became excited.
Seizing the opportunity, Shui Miao expressed his wish for Jiao Gong to look after his family and friends.
After hearing this, Jiao Gong was momentarily stunned. “Brother, this matter is both easy and difficult.”
“Brother, what do you mean?” Seeing Jiao Gong’s expression, Shui Miao became serious.
Jiao Gong whispered, “Our Fire and Thunder Court oversees the ascension of demon immortals and administers thunder punishments. Human cultivators’ ascension isn’t under our jurisdiction. Above us are the Four Palaces: the Nine Heavens Jade Pure Palace, the Eastern Pole Azure Mystic Palace, the Nine Heavens Response Palace, and the Abyssal Jade Palace. We belong to the Abyssal Jade Palace, while human cultivators fall under the jurisdiction of the Shi Yang Court under the Nine Heavens Response Palace. The Shi Yang Court has the Taiyi Thunder Four Departments. Coincidentally, I’m friends with Gong Du, the head of the Shi Yang Court. But Gong Du is different from others—he only values top-grade elixirs from major sects and cares for nothing else. We’re both so poor now; where can we get those elixirs to please him?”
Jiao Gong looked like a poor wretch, utterly dejected.
Shui Miao, however, touched his nose. “It’s just elixirs. I have a way. But for now, let me see the Spirit Mirror.”
“Alright, alright!” Seeing Shui Miao’s confidence, Jiao Gong had no more reservations.
Immediately, Jiao Gong led Shui Miao to the back hall and brought out the Spirit Mirror.
Shui Miao focused his mind, sensing the formation within the Spirit Mirror. In a short while, he grasped the operation of the formation. “Strange, this time-reversal formation seems quite weak and not very effective.”
“Hehe, brother, this is just a mirror to sense demonic forces in the lower realm. It’s not a specialized artifact for deducing and displaying past events. If you want to forge an artifact that can see past events, you’ll need the Profound Heaven Deduction Formation. But I’ve heard that even that formation has its limits. It’s easy to deduce the past of weaker individuals, but for the powerful, it’s impossible. Moreover, the powerful can sense the deduction and destroy the artifact with a mere thought, so it’s not very useful.”
Having spent many years in the immortal realm, Jiao Gong knew a lot.
If that’s the case, deducing me won’t be so easy, Shui Miao thought. “Brother, do you know where I can learn the Profound Heaven Deduction Formation?”
“This…” Jiao Gong tapped his head. “Logically, your master, Forging Sage King Luo Tong, must know this formation. But since he’s letting you train on your own, why not try your luck at the Nine Heavens Profound Gate of the Nine Heavens Profound Lady? I’ve heard that the head of the Nine Heavens Profound Gate, Xuan Yin, is quite approachable.”
“The Nine Heavens Profound Gate of the Nine Heavens Profound Lady!” Shui Miao’s thoughts raced, recalling a previous dream filled with mysteries. He immediately nodded. “Good! I’ll go there now!”
Jiao Gong looked like a penniless nobody.
Shui Miao arrived at the immortal abode of Tai Chang Zhenren and, relying on his memories, directly entered the secret chamber, successfully finding his father’s sealed life talisman.
Immediately, Shui Miao stored the life talisman within his innate supreme treasure, summoning the finest spiritual energy to nourish his father’s soul.
At that moment, Tai Xuan Zhenren appeared.
“Brother, what are you doing?”
Tai Xuan Zhenren suddenly appeared behind Shui Miao, looking at him with a grave expression.
Shui Miao’s heart stirred, his thoughts racing, and he quickly replied, “Brother, you’ve come. That Tai Chang Zhenren is truly despicable. I want to destroy his life talisman so he cannot be reborn. Such a person is a calamity for our Yu Xu Sect!”
“Brother…”
Tai Xuan Zhenren’s brow twitched. “Brother, how have I treated you?”
“Very well, of course! Brother, why do you ask?” Shui Miao feigned confusion.
“Hmph!”
Tai Xuan Zhenren snorted coldly, angrily saying, “Stop deceiving me. That mountain peak, the sudden arrival of Ao Hong—was it you who summoned him? Or perhaps, you are Ao Hong!?”
Clearly, Tai Xuan Zhenren was merely speculating.
“How could I be Ao Hong?”
Shui Miao’s thoughts raced. Given the current situation, he needed to provide Tai Xuan Zhenren with a reasonable explanation.
After a pause, Shui Miao smiled and said, “Brother, things aren’t as you think. Ao Hong is an Immortal Emperor, while I am just a newly ascended Immortal Venerable. How could I possibly summon him?

Staying in the Yu Xu Sect would give him the opportunity to trouble Hua Tianxiong again.
“Ah…”
Seeing Shui Miao about to leave, Tai Xuan Zhenren was slightly taken aback.
He thought that expelling Zhao Tianyi at this time would severely damage the Yu Xu Sect’s reputation, making it difficult to recruit experts in the future. Regardless of whether Zhao Tianyi had issues, he hadn’t done anything detrimental to their side. Instead, he had dealt a heavy blow to Hua Yuting’s faction, which was exactly what they wanted to see.
“Brother, don’t take offense. I was just puzzled!”
Tai Xuan Zhenren quickly clasped his fists, stopping Shui Miao. “Today’s events are indeed too strange. No matter how strong Ao Hong is, he couldn’t have breached our defensive formation without warning and just barged in, could he? However, this matter will be thoroughly investigated. I believe the higher-ups will send an Immortal Emperor-level expert with a time-reversing artifact to uncover the truth.”
“Immortal Emperor-level experts—I don’t know how powerful they are. Perhaps Ao Hong really followed me here. Forget it. Since I have a grudge with Ao Hong, and before I bring any losses to the sect, it’s best if I leave.” Seeing Tai Xuan Zhenren’s reaction, Shui Miao felt that staying in the sect would only constrain him. It would be better to hide his tracks and observe from the shadows.
“This…”
Tai Xuan Zhenren was stunned. He thought that if Zhao Tianyi truly had issues and such great abilities, his purpose in coming shouldn’t have been to deal with Hua Tianxiong and his small group. Therefore, he wouldn’t leave. But in reality, Zhao Tianyi truly took off his luxurious robes, put down his treasures, and left without hesitation.
Watching Zhao Tianyi leave, Tai Xuan Zhenren asked himself, “Was I wrong?”

After leaving, Shui Miao headed straight for the wilderness, finding a hidden mountain to enter. He transformed back into his original form and then quietly emerged to find Jiao Gong.
So far, Shui Miao had little understanding of time-reversing formations.

Shui Miao was familiar with many Thunder Gods and easily found Jiao Gong.
When Jiao Gong learned that Shui Miao wanted to borrow the Spirit Mirror, he immediately showed reluctance. “Brother, you’re really putting me in a tough spot! Last time, I asked you to forge an immortal artifact for me, and you secretly made one for yourself, completely violating the ethics of a blacksmith! Moreover, you’ve been stirring up trouble everywhere. Are you trying to harm me? Now, you even want to see the Spirit Mirror…”
Jiao Gong’s attitude was clearly displeased.
What does this mean?
Shui Miao’s thoughts stirred. Jiao Gong was greedy and not entirely upright. Suddenly saying this, was he hinting at wanting a bribe?
“Haha, brother, I was just curious!” Shui Miao took out a spatial ring and handed it to Jiao Gong. “Brother, I’ve already said I won’t use that lightning formation anymore. Why don’t you believe me? This time, I just want to study the Spirit Mirror’s formation structure, nothing more.”
The ring contained many spirit stones.
Jiao Gong sensed the ring and then pushed it back to Shui Miao, his small eyes shifting. “Look at you, giving me spirit stones. Keep them for yourself. But if you forge a Spirit Mirror, remember to make one for me too.” Jiao Gong finally revealed his true intentions.
“So that’s it. No problem, no problem.” Shui Miao smiled knowingly. “By the way, brother, I’m currently collecting materials to forge a time-reversing protective artifact. When it’s done, I’ll bring you one too.” In that moment, Shui Miao thought of his family and friends in the lower realm and decided to bribe Jiao Gong to take special care of them.
“Great! Ah, you’re truly a good brother!”
Jiao Gong became excited.
Shui Miao seized the opportunity to express his desire for Jiao Gong to look after his family and friends.
After hearing this, Jiao Gong was momentarily stunned. “Brother, this matter is both easy and difficult.”
“Brother, what do you mean?”
Seeing Jiao Gong’s expression, Shui Miao became serious.
Jiao Gong whispered, “Our Fire and Thunder Court oversees the promotion of demon immortals and administers thunder punishments to them. Human cultivators’ ascension isn’t under our jurisdiction. Above us are the Four Palaces: the Nine Heavens Jade Pure Palace, the Eastern Extremity Azure Mystic Palace, the Nine Heavens Response Origin Palace, and the Cavern Abyss Jade Palace. We belong to the Cavern Abyss Jade Palace, while human cultivators fall under the Shi Yang Court of the Nine Heavens Response Origin Palace. The Shi Yang Court has the Taiyi Thunder Four Divisions. Coincidentally, I’m friends with Gong Du, the head of the Shi Yang Court. But Gong Du is different from others; he only values top-tier elixirs from major sects and cares for nothing else. We’re both poor now; where can we get those elixirs to please him?”
Jiao Gong looked like a poor wretch, unable to muster any enthusiasm.
Shui Miao, however, touched his nose. “It’s just elixirs. I have my ways. But for now, let me see the Spirit Mirror.”
“Alright, alright!”
Seeing Shui Miao’s confidence, Jiao Gong had no more hesitation.
Immediately, Jiao Gong led Shui Miao to the back hall and brought out the Spirit Mirror.
Shui Miao focused his mind, sensing the formation within the Spirit Mirror. In a short while, he grasped the formation’s operational patterns. “Strange, this time-reversing formation seems weak and not very effective.”
“Haha, brother, this is just a mirror to sense demonic spirits in the lower realm, not a specialized artifact for deducing and displaying past events. If you want to forge an artifact that can see past events, you’ll need the Profound Heaven Deduction Formation. But I’ve heard that formation’s capabilities are also limited. It’s easy to deduce the past of weak individuals, but for powerful beings, it’s impossible. Moreover, strong individuals can sense the deduction and destroy the artifact with a mere thought, so it’s not very useful.”
Having been in the immortal realm for many years, Jiao Gong knew a lot.
If that’s the case, deducing me won’t be so easy, Shui Miao thought. “Brother, do you know where I can learn the Profound Heaven Deduction Formation?”
“This…”
Jiao Gong tapped his head with his finger. “Logically, your master, the Forging Sage King Luo Tong, must know this formation. But since he’s letting you train on your own, why not try your luck at the Nine Heavens Profound Gate of the Nine Heavens Profound Lady? I’ve heard that the head of the Nine Heavens Profound Gate, Profound Sound, is quite approachable.”
“The Nine Heavens Profound Gate of the Nine Heavens Profound Lady!”
Shui Miao’s thoughts raced, recalling a previous dream filled with mysteries. He immediately nodded. “Good! I’ll go there now!”
“Alright, alright!”
Seeing Shui Miao’s determination, Jiao Gong no longer hesitated.
Immediately, Jiao Gong led Shui Miao to the back hall and brought out the Spirit Connection Mirror.
Shui Miao focused his mind and sensed the formation within the mirror. Soon, he grasped its operational principles. “Strange, this time-reversal formation seems very weak and difficult to achieve effective results.”
“Hehe, Brother, this is just a mirror for sensing demonic presences in the lower realms. It’s not the kind of artifact specifically designed to display past events. If you want to forge such an artifact, you’d need the Xuantian Calculation Formation. However, I’ve heard that even that formation has its limitations. It’s easy to calculate weak individuals, but powerful ones are practically impossible to track. Moreover, strong cultivators can sense the calculation and destroy the artifact with a mere flick of their consciousness. So, such artifacts aren’t that useful.”
Having spent many years in the Immortal Realm, Jiao Gong indeed knew a lot.
If that’s the case, they wouldn’t find it easy to calculate me either, Shui Miao thought. He then asked, “Brother, do you know where one can learn the Xuantian Calculation Formation?”
“This…”
Jiao Gong tapped his head with his finger. “In theory, your master, the Forgemaster Sage King Luo Tong, definitely knows this formation. But he’s letting you cultivate independently. How about this—you try your luck at the Nine Heavens Xuanmen under the Nine Heavens Goddess? I heard their sect leader, Xuan Yin, is quite approachable.”
“The Nine Heavens Goddess’s Nine Heavens Xuanmen!”
Shui Miao’s thoughts raced, recalling the previous dream filled with hidden mysteries. He immediately nodded. “Alright! I’ll go there now!”
