“This is not the place to talk…”
Shui Miao activated his magical powers and transported Hong Lian into a secret chamber. “Sister Hong Lian, what exactly has happened?”
“Shortly after we left, there was a massive explosion in the Imperial Capital, and another at the Shuitian Palace. It looked like a supreme magical artifact had self-destructed. Mother Shuitianyi has gone mad, completely lost her mind…” Hong Lian was visibly shocked, tense, and overwhelmed with panic. “I overheard some celestial generals saying it’s similar to the explosion in the Ninth Heaven—it must have been done by one person. They are now investigating and have ordered me to bring you back for questioning.”
“…”
This was like bringing up the sorest topic at the worst possible time!
Shui Miao’s heart sank with sudden anxiety. “This is serious. Someone is trying to frame me!”
“Don’t think like that, Sister Jueqing. I and Xiaoxiao can testify that you have nothing to do with this.”
Hong Lian had been with Shui Miao all along, and even if she hadn’t, she couldn’t believe he could have driven Mother Shuitianyi to madness.
“Sister, when someone wants to accuse you, they’ll never lack for excuses,” Shui Miao shook his head. “No, I can’t just sit around waiting to be framed. I must take control of my own destiny. No one will be allowed to pin this on me. In this immortal realm, only the strong have the right to speak. I must act ahead of schedule—I need to forge a supremely powerful artifact for self-defense.”
Shui Miao had become extremely sensitive. With loved ones and friends around him, he needed to protect them, so he had to prepare aggressively.
At once, with a mere thought, he activated his powers and enveloped a massive immortal mountain, transferring the entire Tianji Sect into his realm planet.
Unaware of what had happened outside, Hong Lian assumed he was planning to use Mother Shuitianyi’s forging materials and quickly waved her hands in protest. “Sister Jueqing, all of Mother Shuitianyi’s materials have been destroyed. Where are you going to find enough materials to forge a new artifact?”
“What? All the materials are gone?”
“So this means someone targeted Mother Shuitianyi’s materials and carried out this attack!”
Shui Miao’s mind raced as he quickly turned to Hong Lian. “Sister Hong Lian, Mother Shuitianyi has always treated me kindly, and this incident has already involved me. I’d like to ask you to help me investigate this case. Having you by my side will help prove my innocence. Also, regarding the forging materials, I will need your help.”
A direct raid on Kunlun Sect was simply too risky.
Shui Miao needed someone to create a diversion and draw the attention of the Three Purities Sect.
Of course, what worried Shui Miao most wasn’t the elders of the Three Purities Sect or the injured Kunpeng Immortal Emperor—it was the Xinghe Immortal Emperor.
Xinghe possessed immense magical powers and formidable artifacts, and Shui Miao feared him deeply.
Hong Lian nodded. “Anything to help Mother Shuitianyi, I’m willing to do.”
Hong Lian was a very loyal person, even though she knew Mother Shuitianyi had only ever seen her as a small pawn.
Shui Miao immediately shared his plan to raid the Immortal Beast Mountain of the Three Purities Sect.
His plan was for Hong Lian to distract Xinghe Immortal Emperor while he raided the sect’s treasure vault.
Upon hearing this, Hong Lian was stunned by the audacity of the plan.
Even though it was an internal sect matter, in the immortal realm, this would still be considered a crime of the highest order.
After a long pause, she finally spoke. “Jueqing, I can handle distracting Xinghe Immortal Emperor, but this will bring you even more trouble. However, if you can forge a holy artifact, no one will be able to touch you. But are you really confident you can forge a holy artifact? I’ve heard that forging one requires Imperial Qi. Without it, how can you succeed?”
“If I don’t have Imperial Qi, I’ll find a way to obtain it.”
Shui Miao responded bluntly. Now, he had no choice but to fight for survival. The person who had driven Mother Shuitianyi mad was too powerful. Without a holy artifact, he wouldn’t stand a chance against this mysterious enemy. No matter what it took—even if it meant resorting to extreme measures—he would secure that Imperial Qi.
Seeing Shui Miao’s determination, Hong Lian had no choice but to agree. “Fine, I’ll help you this once. After that, I’m returning to the Sixth Heaven. Beyond that, I can’t help you anymore—you’ll have to rely on yourself. But I must warn you—try to only steal materials and avoid killing immortals. That way, your troubles will be fewer.”
Hong Lian wasn’t foolish. She couldn’t afford to follow a reckless outlaw like Shui Miao—she might end up dragged into disaster.
“Thank you, Sister Hong Lian!”
Shui Miao quickly bowed in gratitude, though he inwardly sighed. How many immortals had he already slain? In this situation, he had no choice but to push forward. Right or wrong, the victor would be the ruler, and the weak would be left as lambs for slaughter. History is always written by the victors, and the weak don’t even have the right to be mentioned. This was the law of nature, the law of survival.
Hong Lian, however, shook her head with a troubled expression. “Don’t thank me yet. If you don’t return with me, you’ll be suspected as the culprit. You should worry about your own safety first.”
Internally conflicted, Hong Lian couldn’t tell whether what she was doing was right or wrong.
Shui Miao, meanwhile, thought to himself—if he had been a coward, he would never have chosen the path of cultivation in the first place. He could have lived a quiet life as a mortal and died peacefully, his body reduced to ashes and his soul becoming a wandering ghost, bullied by others. Now that he had chosen the path of cultivation, and the immortal realm was so unjust, why should he submit to injustice? Better to boldly take action. If he won, he would be a mighty force. If he lost, at least he would have lived a life worth living, rather than dying a nameless ghost.

Three Purities Sect
“This is not the place to talk…”
Shui Miao activated his magical power and brought Hong Lian to a secret chamber: “Sister Hong Lian, what exactly has happened?”
“Shortly after we left, a massive explosion occurred in the imperial capital, and another one happened at the Water Heaven Palace. It looked as if some supreme magical artifact had self-destructed. The Holy Mother Shui Tianyi has also gone mad, becoming insane and foolish…” Hong Lian was extremely shocked, nervous, frightened, and at a loss. “I heard from some heavenly generals that this is similar to the self-destruction in the Ninth Heaven, likely the work of the same person. They are now conducting an investigation and have asked me to bring you back for questioning.”
“…”
This is like adding fuel to the fire!
Shui Miao felt a surge of anxiety, “This is a big trouble; someone is trying to frame me!”
“Jue Qing, don’t think like that. Both Xiao Xiao and I can prove you have nothing to do with this.”
Hong Lian had always been with Shui Miao, and even when they were apart, she didn’t believe Shui Miao could harm the Holy Mother Shui Tianyi to the point of madness.
“Sister, when someone wants to accuse you, they will find a way,” Shui Miao shook his head. “No, I can’t just sit and wait. I must take control of my own destiny. No one can frame me. In this immortal realm, only the strong have the right to speak. I must act in advance and create a super powerful magical artifact to protect myself.”
Shui Miao was very sensitive now, as he had loved ones and friends to protect, so he had to prepare fiercely.
At that moment, Shui Miao focused his mind, immediately activated his magical power, and enveloped a massive immortal mountain, moving the entire Tianji Sect into the realm of the Intent Planet.
Hong Lian didn’t know what was happening outside and thought Shui Miao was going to use the Holy Mother Shui Tianyi’s forging materials, so she quickly waved her hand, “Jue Qing, all of the Holy Mother’s materials are gone. Where will you find so many materials to forge a magical artifact?”
“What? All the materials are gone?”
“So, someone coveted the Holy Mother’s materials and then committed this atrocity!?”
Shui Miao’s mind raced, and he quickly said to Hong Lian, “Sister Hong Lian, the Holy Mother has been kind to me, and this matter involves me as well. I want to ask you to join me in investigating this case. Having you by my side will also help prove my innocence. As for the forging materials, I need your help.”
Openly robbing the Kunlun Sect would be too difficult.
Shui Miao needed someone to cover for him and divert the attention of the Three Pure Sects.
Of course, what Shui Miao feared most was not the elders of the Three Pure Sects, nor the injured Kunpeng Emperor, but the Star River Emperor.
The Star River Emperor had profound magical power and possessed extremely powerful artifacts, which Shui Miao greatly feared.
Hong Lian nodded, “As long as it helps the Holy Mother, I am willing to do anything.”
Hong Lian was a very loyal person, even though she knew the Holy Mother Shui Tianyi only saw her as a small pawn.
Shui Miao immediately revealed his plan to raid the Three Pure Sects’ Immortal Beast Mountain.
Shui Miao’s plan was to have Hong Lian lure away the Star River Emperor, while he seized the opportunity to plunder the Three Pure Sects’ treasure vault.
Upon hearing this, Hong Lian was shocked by the audacity of the plan.
Although it was a matter within the sect, in the immortal realm, this would still be a grave sin.
After pondering for a while, Hong Lian finally spoke, “Jue Qing, I can help you lure away the Star River Emperor, but your own troubles will be significant. However, if you can create a sacred artifact, no one will be able to touch you. Are you really confident you can create a sacred artifact? I’ve heard that creating a sacred artifact requires imperial energy. Without it, how can you succeed?”
“If there’s no imperial energy, then we’ll find a way to get it.”
Shui Miao responded directly. Now, he had to fight desperately. The person who drove the Holy Mother Shui Tianyi mad was too powerful. Without a sacred artifact, he would have no way to confront that mysterious figure. So, no matter what, he had to obtain imperial energy, even if it meant resorting to unscrupulous means.
Seeing Shui Miao’s determination, Hong Lian had no choice, “Alright, I’ll help you this one time. After that, I’ll return to the Sixth Heaven. The rest will be up to you. But I must remind you, it’s best if you only take the materials and don’t kill any immortals. That way, the trouble will be less.”
Hong Lian wasn’t foolish; she didn’t dare to follow a desperado like Shui Miao. If she got implicated, it would be disastrous.
“Thank you, Sister Hong Lian!”
Shui Miao quickly clasped his hands in gratitude, but in his heart, he sighed. Hadn’t he already killed many immortals? In this situation, he had to face the difficulties head-on. Whether it was right or wrong, the victor would be respected, and the weak would be like lambs to the slaughter. History is written by the victors; the weak don’t even have the right to be recorded. This is the rule of nature and the law of survival.
Hong Lian, however, shook her head in distress, “Don’t thank me yet. If you don’t come back with me this time, you’ll be suspected as the culprit. You should worry about your own safety.”
Hong Lian was deeply conflicted, unsure if what she was doing was right or wrong.
Shui Miao, on the other hand, thought to himself that if he were a coward, he wouldn’t have chosen to cultivate immortality in the first place. He might as well have lived an ordinary life as a mortal, died of old age, and let his body be cremated, his soul becoming a wandering ghost, subject to others’ bullying. Now that he had chosen this path, and the immortal realm was so unjust, why should he submit to injustice? It was better to go all out. If he won, he would be strong; if he lost, he would have lived a full life, better than being a wandering ghost.

Three Pure Sects
Elder Xing Jue returned to his residence to check the artifacts he had left at home.
Upon inspection, Elder Xing Jue was shocked to find a hole in the ground beneath the artifacts!
Ao Shuang had escaped…
Ao Shuang had learned artifact forging from Shui Miao and was quite skilled in formations.
After some tinkering, he managed to break Elder Xing Jue’s formation and escape.
Learning from past mistakes, Ao Shuang, after escaping, no longer acted recklessly. He became very low-key and fled straight to the underworld without stopping.
The immortal realm was dangerous; one must be cautious when ascending.
Ao Shuang had escaped, the artifact was damaged, and Elder Xing Jue was both anxious and frustrated, feeling unlucky.
Elder Xing Jue calmed down and thought carefully; his life had been too stifling!
He had finally become an elder, finally caught a lead on the Nuwa Stone, thinking he could make a fortune and change his fate, at least become a sect leader. But instead of good fortune, he encountered continuous misfortune, and now his life was in someone else’s hands.
What bad luck, truly bad luck!
Now that things had come to this, he might as well go all out, trust Shui Miao once, and follow him. Perhaps there was still a chance to turn the tables.
Yes! That’s it, to the Immortal Beast Mountain…
※※※
Three Pure Sects’ Supreme Nine Peaks Mountain
The Star River Emperor, whose primordial spirit was injured by the self-destruction, and the nearly killed Sect Leader Xing Lang were currently recuperating in the Nine Peaks Mountain’s Healing Hall.
Outside the Healing Hall, many elite experts from the sect had set up formations, guarding with all their might.
The Immortal Beast Mountain was also secretly protected by dozens of formations and three supreme artifacts set up by Xing Lang, making it heavily guarded.
Suddenly, a radiant light appeared in the sky above the Three Pure Sects.
Before the elite experts could see who it was, the light disappeared, and a yellow cloth fell from the sky.
One of the elite experts activated his magical power and directly caught the yellow cloth in the air. Upon opening it, he saw the words: “The Sixth Heaven Emperor has been killed, the immortal realm is in chaos, all sects must immediately tighten their guard.”
The elite experts looked around, unsure who had sent this.
In a hurry, they had to bring the yellow cloth to Sect Leader Xing Lang.
Sect Leader Xing Lang recognized the fabric; it was the unique yellow woven cloth of the Sixth Heaven.
The message was sent so urgently; something big must have happened!
Sect Leader Xing Lang didn’t dare to be careless and immediately brought the yellow cloth to the Star River Emperor.
The Star River Emperor glanced at the cloth and immediately said, “Go and check if every sect has received such a yellow cloth.”
“Yes!”
Xing Lang didn’t dare to be careless and personally went to check.
Xing Lang hurriedly visited two sects and then returned, “Brother, all sects have received this message.”
The Star River Emperor stood up abruptly, “Clearly, this message wasn’t specifically written for our Three Pure Sects. All sects have received it; it must have been urgently distributed. In this case, the message is likely true. The Holy Mother Shui Tianyi was an extremely powerful figure. If she has been killed, the mastermind must be a super strong entity from the First Heaven. No, I must immediately go to the Sixth Heaven to see.”
“Brother, if you leave, who will protect those materials? Why don’t you take all the materials with you!”
Xing Lang felt immense pressure; guarding so many materials was nerve-wracking, and life was not easy.
“No, no, no…”
The Star River Emperor quickly waved his hand, “Now that the super strong entities from the First Heaven are making their move, their target won’t be the Ninth Heaven. Moreover, the Kunlun Sect in the Ninth Heaven has just been wiped out, and it’s chaotic here. The immortals here are weak, and no one would expect us to have hidden so many forging materials and elixirs here. Plus, we’ve hidden the materials in the Immortal Beast Mountain, which is even more unexpected. So this place is safe. Don’t be too nervous; don’t let others notice anything unusual about the Immortal Beast Mountain.”
“I understand…”
After being reassured by the Star River Emperor, Xing Lang felt a bit more at ease, but he was still somewhat worried, “But brother, what about the guy who wiped out the Kunlun Sect? Could he be targeting us?”
“Don’t worry, I’ve investigated. That person is named Shui Miao, and he has a deep grudge against Hua Yuting, which is why he killed him. We, the Three Pure Sects, have no enmity with him; he won’t come after us. Moreover, he’s now scared and has fled somewhere, so he definitely won’t return.”
After saying this, the Star River Emperor immediately activated his Heaven Escape Talisman and left the Ninth Heaven.
To his shock, one of his artifacts had a hole in the ground beneath it!
Ao Shuang had escaped…
Ao Shuang had learned artifact forging from Shui Miao and was quite skilled in formations.
With some clever manipulation, he had managed to break the elder’s formation and escape.
Learning from previous mistakes, Ao Shuang no longer acted carelessly. He no longer openly spoke of the Nuwa Stone upon seeing immortals. Instead, he kept a low profile and fled nonstop to the Netherworld.
The immortal realm was dangerous—ascending to heaven required caution.
“This is not the place to talk…”
Shui Miao activated his magical power and brought Hong Lian to a secret chamber: “Sister Hong Lian, what exactly happened?”
“Shortly after we left, a massive explosion occurred in the imperial capital, and the Water Heaven Palace also exploded. It looked as if some supreme treasure self-destructed. The Holy Mother Shui Tianyi also went mad, becoming insane and foolish…” Hong Lian was extremely shocked, nervous, and panicked, at a loss for words. “I heard from some celestial generals that this is similar to the self-destruction of the Ninth Heaven, likely the work of a single person. They are now investigating and have asked me to bring you back for questioning.”
“…”
This is like poking a hornet’s nest!
Shui Miao felt a surge of anxiety, “This is a huge trouble. Someone is trying to frame me!”
“Jue Qing, don’t think like that. Both Xiao Xiao and I can prove you had nothing to do with this.”
Hong Lian had been with Shui Miao all along, and even if they weren’t together, she couldn’t believe that Shui Miao could drive the Holy Mother Shui Tianyi to madness.
“Sister, when someone wants to accuse you, they will find a way!” Shui Miao shook his head, “No, I can’t just sit and wait for my fate. I must take control of my own destiny. No one can frame me. In this immortal realm, only the strong have the right to speak. I must act in advance and create an incredibly powerful treasure to protect myself.”
Shui Miao was now extremely sensitive. With loved ones and friends by his side, he needed to protect them, so he had to go all out in preparing defenses.
At that moment, Shui Miao focused his mind and immediately activated his magical power, enveloping an entire immortal mountain and moving the entire Tianji Sect into the realm of the Intent Planet.
Hong Lian, unaware of what was happening outside, thought Shui Miao was planning to use the Holy Mother Shui Tianyi’s forging materials and quickly waved her hand, “Jue Qing, all of the Holy Mother’s materials are gone. Where will you find so many materials to forge a treasure?”
“What? All the materials are gone?”
“So, someone coveted the Holy Mother’s materials and then committed this atrocity!?”
Shui Miao’s mind raced, and he quickly said to Hong Lian, “Sister Hong Lian, the Holy Mother has been kind to me, and this matter involves me as well. I want to ask you to join me in investigating this case. With you by my side, it will help prove my innocence. Also, regarding the forging materials, I need your help.”
Openly raiding the Kunlun Sect would be too difficult.
Shui Miao needed someone to cover for him and divert the attention of the Sanqing Sect.
Of course, what Shui Miao feared most was not the elders of the Sanqing Sect, nor the injured Kunpeng Emperor, but the Star River Emperor.
The Star River Emperor possessed profound magical power and wielded incredibly powerful treasures, which Shui Miao greatly feared.
Hong Lian nodded, “As long as it helps the Holy Mother, I am willing to do anything.”
Hong Lian was a very loyal person, even though she knew the Holy Mother Shui Tianyi only saw her as a small pawn.
Shui Miao immediately revealed his plan to raid the Sanqing Sect’s Immortal Beast Mountain.
Shui Miao’s plan was to have Hong Lian lure away the Star River Emperor, while he seized the opportunity to plunder the Sanqing Sect’s treasure vault.
Upon hearing this, Hong Lian was shocked by the audacity of the plan.

After pondering for a while, Hong Lian finally spoke, “Jue Qing, I can help you lure away the Star River Emperor, but your own troubles will be immense. However, if you can create a holy artifact, no one will be able to touch you. Are you really confident you can create a holy artifact? I’ve heard that creating a holy artifact requires imperial qi.

Hong Lian wasn’t foolish. She didn’t dare to follow a desperado like Shui Miao, as getting implicated would be disastrous.
“Thank you, Sister Hong Lian!”
Shui Miao quickly clasped his hands in gratitude, though he sighed inwardly. Hadn’t he already killed many immortals? In this situation, he had no choice but to face the difficulties head-on. Whether it was right or wrong, the victor would reign supreme, and the weak would be at the mercy of others. History was written by the victors, and the weak didn’t even have the right to be recorded. This was the rule of nature and the law of survival.
Hong Lian, however, shook her head in distress, “Don’t thank me yet. If you don’t come back with me this time, you’ll be suspected as the culprit. You should worry about your own safety.”
Hong Lian was deeply conflicted, unsure if what she was doing was right or wrong.
Shui Miao, on the other hand, thought to himself that if he were a coward, he wouldn’t have chosen to cultivate immortality in the first place. He might as well have lived a mundane life as a mortal, growing old and dying, his body turning to ashes, his soul becoming a wandering ghost, subject to the bullying of others. Now that he had chosen the path of cultivation, and given the injustice of this immortal realm, why should he submit to it? It would be better to boldly take action. If he succeeded, he would be strong; if he failed, he would have lived a full life, better than being a wandering ghost, living a meaningless existence.

Sanqing Sect
Elder Xingjue returned to his residence to check on the treasures he had left at home.
Upon inspection, Elder Xingjue was shocked to find a hole in the ground beneath the treasure!
Ao Shuang had escaped…
Ao Shuang had learned treasure forging from Shui Miao and was quite skilled in formations.
After some tinkering, he managed to break Elder Xingjue’s formation and escape.

He had finally managed to become an elder, finally caught wind of the Nuwa Stone, and thought he could make a fortune, change his fate, and at least become a sect leader. But instead of good fortune, he was met with continuous bad luck, and now his life was in the hands of others.
Such misfortune, truly such misfortune!
Now, since things had come to this, he might as well go all out, trust Shui Miao once, and follow him. Perhaps there was still a chance to turn the tables.
Yes! That’s it, to the Immortal Beast Mountain…

Sanqing Sect’s Supreme Nine Peaks Mountain
The Star River Emperor, whose primordial spirit was injured by the self-destruction, and the nearly dead Sect Leader Xinglang, were currently recuperating in the Nine Peaks Mountain’s Healing Hall.
Outside the Healing Hall, many elite experts from the sect had set up formations, guarding with all their might.
The Immortal Beast Mountain was also secretly protected by dozens of formations and three supreme treasures, making it heavily guarded.
Suddenly, a radiant light appeared in the sky above the Sanqing Sect.
Before the elite experts could clearly see who it was, the light disappeared, and a yellow cloth fell from the sky.
One of the elite experts activated his magical power and directly caught the yellow cloth in the air. Upon opening it, he saw the words: “The Sixth Heaven Emperor has been killed, the immortal realm is in chaos, all sects must immediately strengthen their defenses.”
The elite experts looked around, unsure who had sent this.
In a hurry, they had no choice but to deliver the yellow cloth to Sect Leader Xinglang.
Sect Leader Xinglang recognized the fabric; it was the unique yellow woven cloth of the Sixth Heaven.
The message was delivered so urgently; something big must have happened!
Sect Leader Xinglang didn’t dare to be careless and immediately brought the yellow cloth to the Star River Emperor.
The Star River Emperor glanced at the cloth and immediately said, “Go and check if every sect has received such a yellow cloth.”
“Yes!”
Sect Leader Xinglang didn’t dare to be careless and personally went to check.
Sect Leader Xinglang hurriedly visited two sects and then returned, “Brother, all sects have received this message.”
The Star River Emperor stood up abruptly, “Clearly, this message wasn’t specifically written for our Sanqing Sect. All sects have received it, so it must have been urgently distributed. In this case, the message must be true. The Holy Mother Shui Tianyi was an incredibly powerful figure. If she was killed, the mastermind behind this must be a super powerhouse from the First Heaven. No, I must immediately go to the Sixth Heaven to see.”
“Brother, if you leave, who will protect those materials? Why don’t you take all the materials with you!”
Sect Leader Xinglang felt immense pressure, guarding so many materials, living in constant fear, which was no way to live.
“No, no, no…”
The Star River Emperor quickly waved his hand, “Now that a super powerhouse from the First Heaven is making a move, their target won’t be the Ninth Heaven. Moreover, the Kunlun Sect in the Ninth Heaven was just annihilated, and it’s chaotic here. The immortals here are weak, and no one would expect us to have hidden so many forging materials and elixirs here. Plus, we’ve hidden the materials in the Immortal Beast Mountain, which is even more unexpected. So, this place is safe. Don’t be too paranoid; don’t let others notice anything unusual about the Immortal Beast Mountain.”
“I understand…”
After the Star River Emperor’s explanation, Sect Leader Xinglang felt a bit more at ease, but still somewhat uneasy, “But brother, what about the guy who annihilated the Kunlun Sect? Could he be targeting us?”
“Don’t worry, I’ve investigated. That person is named Shui Miao, and he has a deep grudge against Hua Yuting, which is why he killed him. Our Sanqing Sect has no enmity with him; he won’t come after us. Moreover, he’s probably scared and fled somewhere, so he definitely won’t come back.”
After saying this, the Star River Emperor immediately activated his Heaven Escape Talisman and left the Ninth Heaven.
After calming down, he reflected deeply—his life had been so stifling!
He had finally climbed to the position of elder, and finally caught wind of the Nuwa Stone, believing it to be his chance to strike it rich and change his fate—perhaps even rise to sect leader. But instead of fortune, disaster had followed. Now, his life was in someone else’s hands.
What bad luck! So much bad luck!
Now that things had gone this far, he might as well take a risk. He would trust Shui Miao one more time. Perhaps by following him, he might still have a chance to turn the tides.
Yes! That’s exactly what he would do—head to the Immortal Beast Mountain…
※※※
The Supreme Nine Peaks Mountain of the Three Purities Sect
Xinghe Immortal Emperor, whose soul had been gravely injured by the explosion, and Starwolf Sect Leader, who had nearly died, were both recovering inside the Nourishing Hall of the Nine Peaks Mountain.
Outside the hall, elite experts from the sect were forming arrays to protect them with all their might.
The Immortal Beast Mountain had also been secretly fortified with dozens of visible and hidden arrays by Starwolf, guarded by three supreme artifacts—making it extremely secure.
Suddenly, a streak of radiant light appeared in the sky above the Three Purities Sect.
Before the elite experts could even identify the source, the light vanished, leaving behind a yellow cloth falling from the sky.
One expert activated his powers and grabbed the cloth mid-air. Upon opening it, he saw the words: “The Sixth Heaven Immortal Emperor has been killed. Chaos has erupted in the immortal realm. All sects must heighten their defenses.”
The experts looked around in confusion, unsure who had sent it.
In an emergency, they quickly delivered the yellow cloth to Sect Leader Starwolf.
Starwolf recognized the fabric—it was a special silk unique to the Sixth Heaven.
The urgency of the message meant something serious had happened!
Without hesitation, he immediately passed the cloth to Xinghe Immortal Emperor.
After examining the fabric, Xinghe Immortal Emperor immediately said, “Go check whether every sect has received such a yellow cloth.”
“Yes!”
Starwolf hurried off without delay.
After visiting two sects, he quickly returned. “Brother, every sect has received this message.”
Xinghe Immortal Emperor immediately stood up. “This is clearly not a message specifically for us. Since all sects have received it, it must be an urgent alert sent out by someone. In that case, the message must be true. Mother Shuitianyi is an extremely powerful figure. If she was actually killed, the culprit must be a supreme expert from the First Heaven. I must go to the Sixth Heaven immediately to investigate.”
“Brother, if you leave, who will protect the materials? Why not take all the materials with you?”
Starwolf felt immense pressure. Guarding so many materials was nerve-wracking and exhausting.
“No, no, no…”
Xinghe Immortal Emperor quickly waved his hands. “Now that a supreme expert from the First Heaven has made a move, their target would never be the Ninth Heaven. Besides, Kunlun Sect on the Ninth Heaven was recently destroyed—it’s chaotic there, and the immortals there are weak. No one would suspect we’ve hidden so many artifact-making materials and pills here. And we’ve hidden them in the Immortal Beast Mountain—no one would ever think of that. This place is safe. Don’t be overly nervous and draw attention to the Immortal Beast Mountain.”
“I understand…”
After hearing Xinghe’s explanation, Starwolf felt slightly reassured, though he still had doubts. “But brother, what if the person who destroyed Kunlun Sect comes after us next?”
“Don’t worry. I’ve investigated. That person is named Shui Miao. He has a deep grudge against Huayuting, which is why he killed him. We have no conflict with him, so he won’t come after us. Besides, he must have fled in fear by now and wouldn’t dare return.”
After saying this, Xinghe Immortal Emperor immediately activated his Heaven-Soaring Talisman and left the Ninth Heaven.
