Because his father was involved, Chongyuanzi’s emotions became somewhat unstable.
However, Chongyuanzi clearly knew that his father had passed away long ago.
Because his father was involved, Chong Yuanzi’s emotions became somewhat uncontrollable.
However, Chong Yuanzi was well aware that his father had passed away long ago.
He possessed several magical artifacts, sacred weapons, and even supreme-grade sacred weapons. He also had a pair of Thunder Eyes that could distinguish good from evil, loyalty from treachery. The visitor was indeed just a demonic illusion.
A demon is a demon, and Chong Yuanzi immediately ordered their execution without mercy.
Thus, thunder and lightning raged before the South Heavenly Gate, and all the demons were slain, leaving none alive.
However, it was strange that the demons came in wave after wave, more than ten batches in total, to the point where Chong Yuanzi grew weary of killing them…
Indeed!
Even if it was a fake father, the relentless slaughter was an absolute psychological burden for Chong Yuanzi.
“Where are all these demons coming from? What on earth is happening in the mortal realm?”
“No, I must go down to the mortal realm and see for myself…”
Chong Yuanzi couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
He had originally planned to return to the First Heaven to seek Shui Miao and use the Heavenly Mirror to investigate the clues. But now, disturbed by the illusion of his fake father, he felt he should personally go to the mortal realm to find the mastermind behind these demons.
After instructing his subordinates on specific matters, Chong Yuanzi used the Substitute Mirror given to him by Shui Miao, transforming into an ordinary celestial soldier, and descended to the mortal realm with a group of heavenly soldiers sent to investigate.
Above Mount Kunlun in the mortal realm,
A group of several hundred heavenly soldiers, led by the Thunder God, arrived at a mountain peak, parting the clouds to peer below.
The entire mountain was shrouded in mist, with white clouds perpetually hanging overhead. No matter how strong the wind, it couldn’t disperse the fog, and even the fiercest sunlight couldn’t drive away the moisture.
Looking down at the area, the Thunder God with a rabbit-like mouth whispered, “This is the place. Those ancient demonic immortals came from here. Look! Another large group is emerging…”
As the Thunder God spoke, a group of heavenly soldiers flew out from the sea of clouds and mist on Mount Kunlun!
“Hmm?”
With a sweep of his divine sense, Chong Yuanzi noticed that this group of heavenly soldiers looked exactly like his own.
“General, what should we do? Should we eliminate them?” whispered a celestial soldier beside Chong Yuanzi.
Chong Yuanzi shook his head, “They will die if they go to the South Heavenly Gate. Now, our target is the person hiding below. Send someone to summon the Wind God immediately to disperse the mist here.”
“Understood!”
The celestial soldier immediately dispatched someone.
Soon, the Wind God arrived. Using his Wind Bag, he unleashed a massive tornado, but the sea of clouds and mist remained unmoved!
“Damn it!”
Chong Yuanzi grew impatient and immediately activated his magical artifacts, unleashing the power of a supreme-grade sacred weapon to fiercely strike the sea of clouds and mist!
However, after a series of attacks, the sea of clouds and mist still showed no change!
Incredible! This was truly unbelievable!
Realizing the severity of the situation, Chong Yuanzi quickly ordered, “Retreat, let’s retreat for now.”
“Haha! Thinking of leaving? Not so easy!”
Suddenly, a sharp, piercing voice rang out. The sea of clouds and mist surged, instantly enveloping everyone, moving faster than lightning.
Chong Yuanzi could have activated his Escape Talisman to flee.
But since the opponent had revealed themselves, Chong Yuanzi was eager to see who this adversary really was.
After a moment of chaos, the heavenly soldiers were enveloped by the mist and transported to an exceptionally spacious golden hall.
As the mist dispersed, a young man dressed in tattered, old green robes appeared before them. His eyes were exceptionally bright, but his overall demeanor resembled that of a fallen scholar from ancient times.
“Thunder Department’s Law Master Chong Yuanzi, hehe, I didn’t expect to invite you so easily,” the young man smiled faintly at Chong Yuanzi. Suddenly, the wind and clouds surged, and all the heavenly soldiers around Chong Yuanzi turned to stone. “Hehe, sorry, they were all staring at me, which made me quite uncomfortable, but now I feel much better.”
“Who are you?”
Chong Yuanzi was deeply shocked. This young man’s magical power was unfathomable, and the strength of his formations was unprecedented and terrifying.
“Me? Haha…”
The young man laughed heartily, then transformed into Shui Miao’s appearance. “I’m Shui Miao! Senior Chong Yuanzi, have you forgotten me so quickly?”
This guy was too cunning, not a word of truth! Chong Yuanzi’s Thunder Eyes suddenly turned white as he looked at the young man and asked in a deep voice, “Are you the forging prodigy of the demon realm, Xuan Kong’er?”
“…”
The young man put away his arrogant expression and nodded seriously, “Chong Yuanzi is indeed Chong Yuanzi, quite impressive. I’m surprised you recognized me.”
“Enough nonsense, Xuan Kong’er, what exactly do you want?”
Chong Yuanzi knew very well that Xuan Kong’er was extremely powerful. During the last celestial-demon war, he had helped the demon realm defeat the celestial realm. At that time, Shui Miao hadn’t even been born yet. Such a formidable opponent was nearly impossible to defeat. However, Chong Yuanzi was no coward and maintained a strong demeanor.
“Senior Chong Yuanzi, let’s talk calmly, no need to be so fierce… Hehe, actually, I’m just doing this for fun, just for amusement…” Xuan Kong’er waved his hand, and the entire hall transformed into the First Heaven, the hall of the Punishment City. He himself turned into the Heavenly Mechanism Sovereign, and before him was a table laden with a sumptuous feast of fruits. “Come, come, Brother Chong Yuanzi, sit down and let’s chat over this feast.”
Xuan Kong’er’s tone suddenly shifted to that of the Heavenly Mechanism Sovereign.
Xuan Kong’er took the initiative to sit down.
Chong Yuanzi, however, coldly demanded, “Xuan Kong’er, are you showing off your magical artifacts? I don’t find this amusing. A warrior can be killed but not humiliated. If you want to kill me, then do it quickly.”
“Brother, don’t say that. I’m not Shui Miao, who self-destructs at the drop of a hat and kills indiscriminately. I just want to have a good talk with you, that’s all.” Xuan Kong’er reverted to his original appearance, raised an eyebrow, and smiled again. “If you want to know why I created those demons to lure you to the South Heavenly Gate, if you want to know what those ancient immortals are up to, then sit down. I promise the following conversation will be serious, no jokes.”
“Fine, speak!”
Chong Yuanzi’s heart stirred, and he sat down cross-legged, not even glancing at the feast.
Seeing Chong Yuanzi like this, Xuan Kong’er simply smiled and waved his hand again. A large mirror appeared to the side, showing a multitude of ancient immortals returning to their respective sects, celestial courts, and jade palaces via Escape Talismans, reclaiming what was originally theirs.
After displaying the general situation, Xuan Kong’er spoke, “You’ve underestimated those ancient immortals. Before they left the celestial realm, they had already laid out plans to retake the celestial court. As for why I lured you here, it really was just to have a good chat with you. Of course, I’ll also give you a great gift.”
Xuan Kong’er flipped his hand, and an oval-shaped jade appeared in his palm. “Brother, this contains your father’s soul. During the celestial-demon war, I specifically collected the souls of all the fallen ancient immortals. If I wish, I can resurrect them at any time. Now, can we talk?”
“…”
Chong Yuanzi was momentarily stunned, his emotions extremely complex, unsure of what to say.
Because his father was involved, Chong Yuanzi’s emotions became somewhat uncontrollable.
However, Chong Yuanzi was well aware that his father had passed away long ago.
He possessed several magical artifacts, sacred weapons, and even supreme sacred weapons. He also had a pair of Thunder Eyes that could distinguish good from evil, loyalty from treachery. The visitor was indeed a demonic illusion.
A demonic illusion is just that—a demonic illusion. Chong Yuanzi immediately ordered its execution without mercy.
Thus, thunderous light filled the sky in front of the South Heavenly Gate, and all the demonic illusions were exterminated, leaving none alive.
However, it was bizarre that the demonic illusions came in waves, one after another, more than ten in total, to the point where Chong Yuanzi grew weary of the slaughter…
Indeed!
Even if it was a false father, the relentless killing was an absolute psychological burden for Chong Yuanzi.
“Where are all these demons coming from? What has happened to the mortal world?”
“I must go to the mortal world and see for myself…”
Chong Yuanzi couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
He had originally planned to return to the First Heaven to consult Shui Miao and use the Heavenly Mirror to investigate the clues. But now, disturbed by the demonic illusion of his false father, he felt it necessary to personally visit the mortal world to uncover the mastermind behind these illusions.
After instructing his subordinates on specific matters, Chong Yuanzi used the Substitute Mirror given to him by Shui Miao and transformed into an ordinary celestial general. He then descended to the mortal world with a group of celestial soldiers sent to investigate.
Above Mount Kunlun in the mortal world.
Hundreds of celestial soldiers, led by the Thunder God, arrived at a mountain peak. They parted the clouds and peered downward.
The entire mountain range was shrouded in mist, with perpetual white clouds hanging overhead. No wind could disperse the fog, and even the fiercest sunlight couldn’t drive away the moisture.
Looking down at the area, the Thunder God with a rabbit-like mouth whispered, “This is the place. Those ancient demonic immortals emerged from here. Look! Another large group is coming out…”
As the Thunder God spoke, a group of celestial soldiers flew out from the sea of clouds and mist on Mount Kunlun.
“Hmm?”
With a sweep of his divine sense, Chong Yuanzi noticed that this group of celestial soldiers looked exactly like his own.
“General, what should we do? Should we eliminate them?” whispered a celestial general beside Chong Yuanzi.
Chong Yuanzi shook his head, “They will die if they go to the South Heavenly Gate. Now, our target is the person hiding below. Send someone to summon the Wind God immediately to disperse the clouds and mist here.”
“As you command!”
The celestial general promptly sent someone to fetch the Wind God.
Soon, the Wind God arrived and used his Wind Bag to unleash a massive tornado. However, the sea of clouds and mist remained unmoved!
“Damn it!”
Chong Yuanzi grew impatient and immediately activated his magical artifacts, unleashing the power of a supreme sacred weapon to violently strike the sea of clouds and mist.
Yet, after several strikes, the sea of clouds and mist showed no change at all!
Incredible! This was truly unbelievable!
Realizing the severity of the situation, Chong Yuanzi quickly ordered, “Retreat! Let’s withdraw for now.”
“Haha! Thinking of leaving? Not so easy!”
Suddenly, a sharp, piercing voice rang out. The sea of clouds and mist surged, instantly enveloping everyone, moving faster than lightning.
Chong Yuanzi could have activated his Escape Talisman to flee.
But since the opponent had revealed themselves, Chong Yuanzi was eager to see who this adversary really was.

The young man laughed heartily and suddenly transformed into Shui Miao’s appearance. “I am Shui Miao! Senior Chong Yuanzi, have you forgotten me so quickly?”
This guy is too cunning, not a word of truth! Chong Yuanzi’s Thunder Eyes suddenly turned white as he scrutinized the young man and asked in a deep voice, “Are you the forging prodigy of the demon realm, Xuan Kong’er?”
“…”
The young man put away his frivolous expression and nodded solemnly, “Chong Yuanzi is indeed Chong Yuanzi, quite impressive. I didn’t expect you to recognize me. That really surprised me.”
“Enough nonsense, Xuan Kong’er. What do you really want?”
Chong Yuanzi was well aware that Xuan Kong’er was extremely formidable. During the last celestial-demon war, he had helped the demon realm defeat the celestial realm, long before Shui Miao was even born. Such a powerful opponent was nearly invincible. However, Chong Yuanzi was no coward and maintained a strong demeanor.
“Senior Chong Yuanzi, let’s talk calmly, no need to be so harsh… Hehe, actually, I’m just doing this for fun, just for amusement…” Xuan Kong’er waved his hand, and the entire hall transformed into the First Heaven, the hall of the Punishment City. He himself turned into the Heavenly Mechanism Sovereign, and in front of him was a table laden with a sumptuous fruit feast. “Come, come, Brother Chong Yuanzi, sit down and let’s chat over this feast.”

“Brother, listen to yourself. I’m not Shui Miao, who self-destructs at the drop of a hat and kills indiscriminately. I just want to have a good talk with you, that’s all,” Xuan Kong’er reverted to his original appearance, raised an eyebrow, and smiled again. “If you want to know why I created those demonic illusions to lure you to the South Heavenly Gate, if you want to know what those ancient immortals are up to, then sit down. I promise the following conversation will be serious, no jokes.”
“Alright, speak!”
Chong Yuanzi’s heart stirred, and he sat down cross-legged, not even glancing at the fruit feast.
Seeing this, Xuan Kong’er simply smiled and waved his hand again. A massive mirror appeared to the side, displaying scenes of numerous ancient immortals returning to their respective sects, celestial courts, and jade palaces via Escape Talismans, reclaiming what was originally theirs.
After showing the general situation, Xuan Kong’er spoke, “You’ve underestimated those ancient immortals. Before they left the celestial realm, they had already devised a plan to return and seize the celestial court. As for why I lured you here, it was truly just to have a good chat with you.

However, strangely, the demons came in waves, more than ten in succession, to the point where Chong Yuanzi grew weary of the slaughter…
Indeed!
Even a false father could not withstand continuous execution, which was an absolute psychological burden for Chong Yuanzi.
“Where did so many demons come from? What has happened to the mortal world?”
“I must go to the mortal world and see for myself…”
Chong Yuanzi couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
He had originally planned to return to the First Heaven to consult Shui Miao with the Heavenly Mirror for clues. But now, disturbed by the demonic impersonation of his father, he felt it necessary to personally visit the mortal world to uncover the mastermind behind these demons.

“Thunder Lord Chong Yuanzi, hehe, I didn’t expect to invite you so easily,” the young man smiled faintly at Chong Yuanzi. Suddenly, the wind and clouds surged, and the heavenly soldiers beside Chong Yuanzi were all petrified. “Hehe, sorry, they were all staring at me, which made me quite uncomfortable, but now I feel much better.”
“Who are you?”
Chong Yuanzi was deeply shocked. This young man’s magical power was profound and unfathomable, and the power of his formations was unprecedented and terrifying.
“Me? Haha…”
The young man laughed heartily, then transformed into Shui Miao’s appearance. “I am Shui Miao! Senior Chong Yuanzi, have you forgotten me so quickly?”
This guy is too cunning, not a word of truth! Chong Yuanzi’s Thunder Eyes suddenly turned white as he looked at the young man and asked in a deep voice, “Are you the forging prodigy of the demon world, Xuan Kong’er?”

A demon is a demon, and Chong Yuanzi immediately ordered its execution without mercy.
Thus, thunder and lightning raged before the South Heavenly Gate, and all the demons were slain, leaving none alive.

“Thunder Department’s Dharma Master Chong Yuanzi, hehe, I didn’t expect it to be so easy to invite you here,” the young man smiled faintly at Chong Yuanzi. Suddenly, the wind and clouds stirred, and all the heavenly soldiers around Chong Yuanzi were petrified. “Hehe, sorry, they were all staring at me, which made me quite uncomfortable, but now it feels much better.”
“Who are you?”
Chong Yuanzi was deeply shocked. This young man’s magical power was unfathomable, and the power of his formations was unprecedented and terrifying.
“Me? Haha…”
The young man threw his head back and laughed, suddenly transforming into the image of Shui Miao. “I am Shui Miao! Senior Chong Yuanzi, have you forgotten me so quickly?”
This guy is too cunning, not a word of truth! Chong Yuanzi’s Thunder Eyes suddenly turned white as he looked at the young man and asked in a deep voice, “Are you the forging prodigy of the demon realm, Xuan Kong’er?”

Xuan Kong’er’s tone suddenly changed to that of the Heavenly Mechanism Elder.
Xuan Kong’er took the initiative to sit down.

Chong Yuanzi was momentarily stunned, his emotions extremely complex, unsure of what to say.
Indeed!
Even if they were fake versions of his father, repeatedly killing them was unbearable. This was a severe psychological burden for Chongyuanzi.
“Where are all these demons coming from? What exactly is happening in the mortal realm?”
“No, I must go down to the mortal realm and see for myself…”
Chongyuanzi couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
Because his father was involved, Chong Yuanzi’s emotions were somewhat out of control.
However, Chong Yuanzi was well aware that his father had passed away long ago.

Looking down at the area, the Thunder God with a rabbit-like mouth whispered, “This is the place. Those ancient demonic immortals emerged from here. Look! Another large group is coming out…”
As the Thunder God spoke, a troop of heavenly soldiers flew out from the sea of clouds and mist over Mount Kunlun!
“Hmm?”
With a sweep of his divine sense, Chong Yuanzi noticed that this group of heavenly soldiers looked exactly like his own.
“General, what should we do? Should we go and eliminate them?”
An officer beside Chong Yuanzi whispered a request.
Chong Yuanzi shook his head, “They will die if they go to the South Heavenly Gate. Now, our target is the person hiding below. Send someone to summon the Wind God immediately to disperse the clouds and mist here.”

Chong Yuanzi grew impatient and immediately activated his magical artifacts, using the power of a supreme sacred weapon to fiercely attack the sea of clouds and mist!
However, after a series of attacks, the sea of clouds and mist still showed no change!
Incredible! This was truly unbelievable!
Realizing the severity of the situation, Chong Yuanzi quickly ordered, “Retreat, let’s withdraw for now.”
“Haha! Thinking of leaving? Not so easy!”
Suddenly, a sharp, piercing voice rang out, and the sea of clouds and mist surged, instantly enveloping everyone, moving faster than lightning.
Chong Yuanzi could have used the Escape Talisman to flee.
But since the opponent had revealed themselves, Chong Yuanzi was eager to see who this adversary really was.
After a moment of chaos, the heavenly soldiers were transported by the mist to an exceptionally spacious golden hall.
As the mist dispersed, a young man dressed in a tattered, old green robe appeared before them. His eyes were exceptionally bright, but his overall demeanor resembled that of a fallen scholar from ancient times.
“Thunder Department’s Dharma Lord Chong Yuanzi, hehe, I didn’t expect to invite you so easily,” the young man smiled faintly at Chong Yuanzi. Suddenly, the wind and clouds stirred, and all the heavenly soldiers beside Chong Yuanzi turned to stone. “Hehe, sorry, they were all staring at me, making me quite uncomfortable, but now it feels much better.”
“Who are you?”
Chong Yuanzi was deeply shocked. This young man’s magical power was unfathomable, and the strength of his formations was unprecedented, terrifying to the extreme.
“Me? Haha…”
The young man threw his head back and laughed, suddenly transforming into Shui Miao’s appearance. “I am Shui Miao! Senior Chong Yuanzi, have you forgotten me so quickly?”
This guy was too cunning, not a word of truth! Chong Yuanzi’s Thunder Eyes suddenly turned white as he looked at the young man and asked in a deep voice, “Are you the forging prodigy of the demon world, Xuan Kong’er?”
“…”
The young man put away his arrogant expression and nodded seriously, “Chong Yuanzi is indeed Chong Yuanzi, quite impressive. I didn’t expect you to recognize me, that really surprised me.”
“Cut the nonsense, Xuan Kong’er, what exactly do you want?”
Chong Yuanzi knew very well that Xuan Kong’er was extremely powerful. He had helped the demon world defeat the celestial realm in the last great war between immortals and demons, back when Shui Miao wasn’t even born. Such a formidable opponent was nearly invincible. However, Chong Yuanzi was no coward and maintained a strong demeanor.
“Senior Chong Yuanzi, let’s talk nicely, no need to be so harsh… hehe, actually, I’m just doing this for fun, just for amusement…” Xuan Kong’er waved his hand, and the entire hall transformed into the First Heaven, the hall of the Punishment City. He himself turned into the Heavenly Mechanism Sovereign, with a lavish fruit banquet laid out on a table before him. “Come, come, Brother Chong Yuanzi, sit down and let’s chat over some food.”
Xuan Kong’er’s tone suddenly changed to that of the Heavenly Mechanism Sovereign.
Xuan Kong’er took the initiative to sit down.
Chong Yuanzi, however, coldly demanded, “Xuan Kong’er, are you showing off your magical artifacts? I don’t find this amusing. A scholar can be killed but not humiliated. If you want to kill me, then do it quickly.”
“Brother, look at what you’re saying. I’m not Shui Miao, who self-destructs at the drop of a hat and kills indiscriminately. I just want to have a good talk with you, that’s all,” Xuan Kong’er reverted to his original form, raised an eyebrow, and smiled again. “If you want to know why I created those demons to lure you to the South Heavenly Gate, if you want to know what those ancient immortals are up to, then sit down. I promise the following conversation will be sincere, no jokes.”
“Alright, speak!”
Chong Yuanzi’s heart stirred, and he sat down cross-legged, not even glancing at the fruit banquet.
Seeing Chong Yuanzi like this, Xuan Kong’er simply smiled and waved his hand again. A large mirror appeared to the side, showing a multitude of ancient immortals who had already returned to their respective sects, celestial courts, and jade palaces through the Escape Talisman, reclaiming what was originally theirs.
After displaying the general situation, Xuan Kong’er spoke, “You all underestimated those ancient immortals. Before they left the celestial realm, they had already laid out plans to seize the celestial court upon their return. As for why I lured you here, it was genuinely just to have a good chat with you. Of course, I also have a big gift for you.”
Xuan Kong’er flipped his hand, and an oval-shaped jade appeared in his palm. “Brother, this contains your father’s primordial spirit. During the great war between immortals and demons, I specifically collected the primordial spirits of all the fallen ancient immortals. If I wish, I can resurrect them at any time. Now, can we talk?”
“…”
Chong Yuanzi was momentarily stunned, his emotions extremely complex, unsure of what to say.
After assigning his subordinates to handle certain specific matters, Chongyuanzi used the Substitute Mirror given to him by Shui Miao. Instantly transforming himself into an ordinary celestial general, he joined a group of heavenly soldiers and generals dispatched to the mortal realm to investigate the situation and descended to the human world.
Above Kunlun Mountain in the mortal realm,
A group of several hundred heavenly soldiers and generals, guided by the Thunder Official of the Celestial Patrol, arrived at a mountaintop, parted the clouds, and peered downward.
The mountain peaks were shrouded in thick mist, with white clouds perpetually covering the summit. No wind could disperse the fog, and no sunlight could penetrate the damp haze.
Because his father was involved, Chong Yuanzi’s emotions became somewhat uncontrollable.
However, Chong Yuanzi was well aware that his father had passed away long ago.
He possessed several magical artifacts, sacred weapons, and even supreme-grade sacred weapons. He also had a pair of Thunder Eyes that could discern good from evil, loyalty from treachery. The visitor was indeed just a demonic illusion.
A demon is a demon, and Chong Yuanzi immediately ordered their execution without mercy.
Thus, thunder and lightning raged at the South Heavenly Gate, and all the demons were slain, leaving none alive.
But strangely, the demons came in wave after wave, more than a dozen in total, to the point where Chong Yuanzi grew weary of the slaughter…
Indeed!
Even if it was a false father, the relentless killing was an absolute psychological burden for Chong Yuanzi.
“Where are all these demons coming from? What has happened to the mortal world?”
“I must go down to the mortal world and see for myself…”
Chong Yuanzi couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
He had originally planned to return to the First Heaven to consult Shui Miao and use the Heavenly Mirror to investigate the clues. But now, disturbed by the demonic illusion of his false father, he felt he should personally visit the mortal world to uncover the mastermind behind these demons.
After instructing his subordinates on specific matters, Chong Yuanzi used the Substitute Mirror given to him by Shui Miao, transforming himself into an ordinary celestial general. He then descended to the mortal world with a group of celestial soldiers sent to investigate.
Above Kunlun Mountain in the mortal world,
A group of several hundred celestial soldiers, led by the Thunder God of the Sky, arrived at a mountain peak. They parted the clouds and peered downward.
The mountain peaks were shrouded in mist, with perpetual white clouds hanging overhead. No matter how strong the wind, it couldn’t disperse the fog, and even the fiercest sunlight couldn’t drive away the moisture.
Looking at the area below, the Thunder God of the Sky, with his rabbit-like mouth, whispered, “This is the place. Those ancient demonic immortals emerged from here. Look! Another large group is coming out…”
As the Thunder God of the Sky spoke, a group of celestial soldiers flew out from the sea of clouds and mist over Kunlun Mountain!
“Hmm?”
With a sweep of his divine sense, Chong Yuanzi noticed that this group of celestial soldiers looked exactly like his own.
“General, what should we do? Should we eliminate them?” a celestial general beside Chong Yuanzi whispered, seeking instructions.
Chong Yuanzi shook his head, “They will die if they go to the South Heavenly Gate. Now, our target is the person hiding below. Send someone to summon the Wind God immediately to disperse the mist here.”
“Understood!”
The celestial general promptly dispatched someone.
Soon, the Wind God arrived. Using his Wind Bag, he unleashed a massive tornado, but the sea of clouds and mist remained unmoved!
“Damn it!”
Chong Yuanzi grew impatient and immediately activated his magical artifacts, unleashing the power of a supreme-grade sacred weapon to fiercely bombard the sea of clouds and mist!
Yet, despite the bombardment, the sea of clouds and mist showed no change at all!
Incredible! This was truly unbelievable!
Realizing the severity of the situation, Chong Yuanzi quickly ordered, “Retreat! Let’s withdraw for now.”
“Haha! Thinking of leaving? Not so easy!”
Suddenly, a sharp, piercing voice rang out. The sea of clouds and mist surged, instantly enveloping everyone, moving faster than lightning.
Chong Yuanzi could have activated his Escape Talisman to flee.
But since the opponent had revealed themselves, Chong Yuanzi was eager to see who this adversary was.
After a moment of chaos, the celestial soldiers were enveloped by the mist and transported to an exceptionally spacious golden hall.
As the mist dispersed, a young man dressed in a tattered, old green robe appeared before them. His eyes were exceptionally bright, but his overall demeanor resembled that of a scholar from ancient times.
“Chong Yuanzi, the Thunder Law Sovereign. Hehe, I didn’t expect it to be so easy to invite you here,” the young man smiled faintly at Chong Yuanzi. Suddenly, the wind and clouds stirred, and all the celestial soldiers around Chong Yuanzi turned to stone. “Hehe, sorry about that. They were all staring at me, which made me quite uncomfortable. But now, I feel much better.”
“Who are you?”
Chong Yuanzi was deeply shocked. This young man’s magical power was unfathomable, and the strength of his formations was unprecedented, terrifying to the extreme.
“Me? Haha…”
The young man threw his head back and laughed, then suddenly transformed into Shui Miao’s appearance. “I am Shui Miao! Senior Chong Yuanzi, have you forgotten me so quickly?”
This guy was too cunning, not a word of truth! Chong Yuanzi’s Thunder Eyes suddenly turned white as he looked at the young man and asked in a deep voice, “Are you Xuan Kong’er, the forging prodigy of the demon world?”
“…”
The young man put away his arrogant expression and nodded seriously, “Chong Yuanzi is indeed Chong Yuanzi. You’re quite something, recognizing me. That really surprised me.”
“Enough nonsense, Xuan Kong’er. What exactly do you want?”
Chong Yuanzi knew very well that Xuan Kong’er was extremely powerful. He had helped the demon world defeat the celestial realm in the last great war between immortals and demons, back when Shui Miao hadn’t even been born. Such a formidable opponent was nearly impossible to defeat. However, Chong Yuanzi was no coward, and his demeanor remained strong.
“Senior Chong Yuanzi, let’s talk calmly. No need to be so harsh… Hehe, actually, I’m just doing this for fun, just for amusement…” Xuan Kong’er waved his hand, and the entire hall transformed into the First Heaven, the hall of the Punishment City. He himself turned into the Heavenly Mechanism Sovereign, and before him was a table laden with a sumptuous feast of fruits. “Come, come, Brother Chong Yuanzi, sit down and let’s chat over this meal.”
Xuan Kong’er’s tone suddenly shifted to that of the Heavenly Mechanism Sovereign.
Xuan Kong’er took the initiative to sit down.
Chong Yuanzi, however, coldly demanded, “Xuan Kong’er, are you showing off your magical artifacts? I don’t find this amusing. A warrior can be killed but not humiliated. If you want to kill me, then do it quickly.”
“Brother, look at what you’re saying. I’m not Shui Miao, who self-destructs at the drop of a hat and kills indiscriminately. I just want to have a good talk with you, that’s all.” Xuan Kong’er reverted to his original form, raised an eyebrow, and smiled again. “If you want to know why I created those demons to lure you to the South Heavenly Gate, if you want to know what those ancient immortals are up to, then sit down. I promise the following conversation will be truthful, no jokes.”
“Fine, speak!”
Chong Yuanzi’s heart stirred, and he sat down cross-legged, not even glancing at the feast.
Seeing Chong Yuanzi like this, Xuan Kong’er simply smiled and waved his hand again. A massive mirror appeared to the side, displaying a large number of ancient immortals who had already returned to their respective sects, celestial courts, and jade palaces through the Escape Talisman, reclaiming what was originally theirs.
After briefly showing the situation, Xuan Kong’er spoke, “You’ve underestimated those ancient immortals. Before they left the celestial realm, they had already laid out plans to retake the Heavenly Court. As for why I lured you here, it really was just to have a good chat with you. Of course, I’ll also give you a great gift.”
Xuan Kong’er flipped his hand, and an oval-shaped jade appeared in his palm. “Brother, this contains your father’s soul. During the great war between immortals and demons, I specifically collected the souls of all the fallen ancient immortals. If I wish, I can resurrect them at any time. Now, can we talk?”
“…”
Chong Yuanzi was momentarily stunned, his emotions extremely complex, unsure of what to say.
As the Thunder Official spoke, a squad of heavenly soldiers and generals flew out from the misty mountains of Kunlun.
“Hmm?”
With a mere sweep of his divine consciousness, Chongyuanzi discovered that this squad of heavenly soldiers and generals was identical in appearance to his own.
“General, what should we do? Shall we go and eliminate them?” a celestial general beside Chongyuanzi whispered for instructions.
Chongyuanzi shook his head. “They will die if they go to the Southern Heaven Gate anyway. Our real target is the one hiding below. Immediately send someone to summon Fengbo and have him blow away the fog here.”
“At once!”
The celestial general immediately dispatched a messenger.
Before long, Fengbo arrived. Using his wind sack, he unleashed a mighty whirlwind. Yet, the sea of clouds and mist remained completely unmoved!
“Cursed!”
Because his father was involved, Chong Yuanzi’s emotions were somewhat out of control.
However, Chong Yuanzi was well aware that his father had passed away long ago.
He possessed several magical artifacts, sacred items, and even supreme-grade sacred weapons. He also had a pair of Thunder Eyes that could distinguish good from evil, loyalty from treachery. The visitor was indeed a demonic illusion.
A demon is a demon, and Chong Yuanzi immediately ordered their execution without mercy.
Thus, before the South Heavenly Gate, thunderbolts raged, and all the demons were slain, leaving none alive.
But strangely, the demons came in wave after wave, more than a dozen in total, until Chong Yuanzi grew weary of the slaughter…
Indeed!
Even a false father could not withstand continuous slaughter, which was an absolute psychological burden for Chong Yuanzi.
“Where are all these demons coming from? What has happened to the mortal world?”
“I must go and see for myself…”
Chong Yuanzi couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
He had originally planned to return to the First Heaven to seek Shui Miao and use the Heavenly Mirror to investigate clues. But now, disturbed by the false father’s demonic illusion, he felt he should personally visit the mortal world to find the mastermind behind these demons.

The mountain peaks were shrouded in mist, with white clouds perpetually hanging overhead. No wind could disperse the fog here, and even the fiercest sunlight could not drive away the moisture.
Looking down at the area, the Thunder God with a rabbit-like mouth whispered, “This is the place. Those ancient demonic immortals emerged from here. Look! Another large group is coming out…”
As the Thunder God spoke, a group of heavenly soldiers flew out from the sea of clouds and mist of Mount Kunlun!
“Hmm?”
Chong Yuanzi’s divine sense swept over and found that this group of heavenly soldiers looked exactly like his own.
“General, what should we do? Should we go and eliminate them?”
A celestial general beside Chong Yuanzi whispered a request.
Chong Yuanzi shook his head, “They will die if they go to the South Heavenly Gate. Now, the person we need to deal with is the one hiding below. Send someone to summon the Wind God immediately to disperse the mist here.”
“As you command!”
The celestial general immediately sent someone.
Soon, the Wind God arrived and used his wind bag to create a massive tornado, but the sea of clouds and mist remained unmoved!
“Damn it!”
Chong Yuanzi grew impatient and immediately activated his magical artifacts, using the power of a supreme-grade sacred weapon to fiercely attack the sea of clouds and mist!
But after a series of attacks, the sea of clouds and mist still showed no change!
Incredible! This was truly incredible!
Realizing the severity of the situation, Chong Yuanzi quickly ordered, “Retreat, let’s retreat for now.”
“Haha! Thinking of leaving? Not so easy!”
Suddenly, a sharp, piercing voice rang out, and the sea of clouds and mist surged, instantly enveloping everyone, moving faster than lightning.
Chong Yuanzi could have activated his Escape Talisman to flee.

“Thunder Department’s Dharma Lord Chong Yuanzi, hehe, I didn’t expect it to be so easy to invite you here,” the young man smiled faintly at Chong Yuanzi. Suddenly, the wind and clouds surged, and all the heavenly soldiers beside Chong Yuanzi were petrified. “Hehe, sorry, they were all staring at me, making me quite uncomfortable, but now it feels much better.”
“Who are you?”
Chong Yuanzi was deeply shocked. This young man’s magical power was profound and unfathomable, and the power of his formations was unprecedented and terrifying.
“Me? Haha…”
The young man laughed heartily, then transformed into Shui Miao’s appearance. “I am Shui Miao! Senior Chong Yuanzi, have you forgotten me so quickly?”

“Brother, look at what you’re saying. I’m not Shui Miao, who would self-destruct at the drop of a hat or kill innocents indiscriminately. I just want to have a good talk with you, that’s all.” Xuan Kong’er reverted to his original appearance, raised an eyebrow, and smiled again. “If you want to know why I created those demons to lure you to the South Heavenly Gate, if you want to know what those ancient immortals are up to, then sit down. I promise the following conversation will be serious, no jokes.”
“Alright, speak!”
Chong Yuanzi’s heart stirred, and he sat down cross-legged, not even glancing at the fruit feast.
Seeing Chong Yuanzi like this, Xuan Kong’er simply smiled and waved his hand again. A large mirror appeared to the side, showing numerous ancient immortals returning to their respective sects, celestial courts, and jade palaces via Escape Talismans, reclaiming what was originally theirs.
After showing the general situation, Xuan Kong’er spoke, “You have underestimated those ancient immortals. Before they left the celestial world, they had already laid out plans to seize the celestial court upon their return. As for why I lured you here, I truly just wanted to have a good chat with you.

“…”
Chong Yuanzi was stunned, his emotions extremely complex, unsure of what to say.
Yet, after the bombardment, the sea of clouds and mist remained utterly unchanged!
Incredible! This was beyond belief!
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Chongyuanzi quickly issued orders, “Retreat first.”
“Hahaha! Want to leave? Not so easily!”
Suddenly, a sharp, piercing voice rang out. The sea of clouds and mist surged violently and instantly enveloped the entire group. The speed was even faster than lightning.
Because his father was involved, Chong Yuanzi’s emotions became somewhat uncontrollable.
However, Chong Yuanzi was well aware that his father had passed away long ago.
He possessed several magical artifacts, sacred weapons, and even supreme-grade sacred weapons. He also had a pair of Thunder Eyes that could distinguish good from evil, loyalty from treachery. The visitor was indeed just a demon in disguise.
A demon is a demon, and Chong Yuanzi immediately ordered their execution without mercy.
Thus, thunderous light filled the sky in front of the Southern Heavenly Gate, and all the demons were slain, leaving none alive.
However, it was bizarre that the demons came in waves, one after another, more than ten batches in total, to the point where Chong Yuanzi grew weary of the slaughter…
Indeed!
Even if it was a fake father, the relentless killing was an immense psychological burden for Chong Yuanzi.
“Where did so many demons come from? What has happened to the mortal world?”
“No, I must go down to the mortal world and see…”
Chong Yuanzi couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
He had originally planned to return to the First Heaven to seek Shui Miao and use the Heavenly Mirror to investigate the clues. But now, disturbed by the demonic impersonation of his father, he felt it necessary to personally visit the mortal world to uncover the mastermind behind these demons.
After instructing his subordinates on specific matters, Chong Yuanzi used the Substitute Mirror given to him by Shui Miao, transforming himself into an ordinary celestial soldier. He then joined a group of heavenly troops dispatched to the mortal world to investigate.
Above Mount Kunlun in the mortal world,
A group of several hundred heavenly troops, led by the Thunder God, arrived at a mountain peak. They parted the clouds and peered downward.
The entire mountain was shrouded in mist, with perpetual white clouds hanging overhead. No matter how strong the wind, it could not disperse the fog, and even the fiercest sunlight could not drive away the moisture in the air.
Looking at the area below, the Thunder God with a rabbit-like mouth whispered, “This is the place. Those ancient demonic immortals emerged from here. Look! Another large group is coming out…”
As the Thunder God spoke, a group of heavenly troops flew out from the sea of clouds and mist on Mount Kunlun!
“Hmm?”
With a sweep of his divine sense, Chong Yuanzi discovered that this group of heavenly troops looked exactly like his own.
“General, what should we do? Should we eliminate them?”
A celestial soldier beside Chong Yuanzi whispered, seeking instructions.

“Haha! Thinking of leaving? Not so easy!”
Suddenly, a sharp, piercing voice rang out. The sea of clouds and mist surged, instantly enveloping everyone, moving faster than lightning.
Chong Yuanzi could have activated his Escape Talisman to flee.
But since the opponent had revealed themselves, Chong Yuanzi was eager to see who this adversary really was.
After a moment of chaos, the heavenly troops were enveloped by the clouds and transported to an exceptionally spacious golden hall.
As the mist dispersed, a young man dressed in tattered, old green robes appeared before them. His eyes were unusually bright, but his overall demeanor resembled that of a fallen scholar from ancient times.
“Lei Bu Fa Zun Chong Yuanzi, hehe, I didn’t expect it to be so easy to invite you here,” the young man smiled faintly at Chong Yuanzi. Suddenly, the wind and clouds stirred, and all the heavenly troops beside Chong Yuanzi turned to stone. “Hehe, sorry, but they were all staring at me, making me quite uncomfortable. Now, I feel much better.”
“Who are you?”
Chong Yuanzi was deeply shocked. This young man’s magical power was unfathomable, and the strength of his formations was unprecedented, terrifying to the extreme.
“Me? Haha…”
The young man threw his head back and laughed, suddenly transforming into the likeness of Shui Miao. “I am Shui Miao! Senior Chong Yuanzi, have you forgotten me so quickly?”
This guy is too cunning, not a word of truth! Chong Yuanzi’s Thunder Eyes suddenly turned white as he scrutinized the young man, then asked in a deep voice, “Are you Xuan Kong’er, the forging prodigy of the demon world?”
“…”
The young man put away his playful expression and nodded seriously, “Chong Yuanzi is indeed Chong Yuanzi. You really have a way about you. I’m surprised you recognized me.”
“Enough nonsense, Xuan Kong’er. What exactly do you want?”
Chong Yuanzi was well aware that Xuan Kong’er was extremely formidable. During the last great war between immortals and demons, he had helped the demon world defeat the immortal world, long before Shui Miao was even born. Such a powerful adversary was nearly impossible to defeat. However, Chong Yuanzi was no coward, and his demeanor remained strong and unyielding.
“Senior Chong Yuanzi, let’s talk calmly, no need to be so harsh… Hehe, actually, I’m just doing this for fun, just for amusement…” Xuan Kong’er waved his hand, and the entire hall transformed into the First Heaven, the hall of the Punishment City. He himself turned into the Heavenly Mechanism Sovereign, and before him was a table laden with a sumptuous feast of fruits. “Come, come, Brother Chong Yuanzi, sit down and let’s chat over this meal.”
Xuan Kong’er’s tone also shifted to that of the Heavenly Mechanism Sovereign.
Xuan Kong’er took the initiative to sit down.
Chong Yuanzi, however, coldly demanded, “Xuan Kong’er, are you showing off your magical artifacts? I don’t find this amusing at all. A warrior can be killed but not humiliated. If you want to kill me, then do it quickly.”
“Brother, look at how you’re talking. I’m not Shui Miao, who would self-destruct at the drop of a hat or kill innocents indiscriminately. I just want to have a good talk with you, that’s all.” Xuan Kong’er reverted to his original appearance, raised an eyebrow, and smiled again. “If you want to know why I created those demons to lure you to the Southern Heavenly Gate, if you want to know what those ancient immortals are up to, then sit down. I promise the following conversation will be sincere, no jokes.”
“Alright, speak!”
Chong Yuanzi’s heart stirred, and he sat down cross-legged on the spot, not even glancing at the feast.
Seeing Chong Yuanzi like this, Xuan Kong’er simply smiled and waved his hand again. A massive mirror appeared to the side, showing large groups of ancient immortals returning to their respective sects, heavenly courts, and jade palaces via Escape Talismans, reclaiming what was originally theirs.
After displaying the general situation, Xuan Kong’er spoke, “You’ve underestimated those ancient immortals. Before they left the immortal world, they had already laid out plans to seize the heavenly court upon their return. As for why I lured you here, it really was just to have a good chat with you. Of course, I’ll also give you a great gift.”

“…”
Chong Yuanzi was momentarily stunned, his emotions extremely complex, unsure of what to say.
However, since his opponent had finally revealed himself, Chongyuanzi was eager to see who this formidable enemy really was.
After the chaos, all the heavenly soldiers and generals were enveloped by the mist and transported into an unusually spacious golden hall.
As the mist dissipated, everyone saw a young man wearing a tattered and old blue robe. His eyes were exceptionally bright, yet his overall demeanor resembled that of a failed scholar from ancient times.
“Chongyuanzi, the Thunder Sect’s Dharma Lord, hehe, I didn’t expect it to be so easy to invite you here,” the young man said with a faint smile at Chongyuanzi. Suddenly, the wind rose and clouds gathered. In an instant, all the heavenly soldiers and generals around Chongyuanzi were turned to stone. “Hehe, sorry. Their staring made me very uncomfortable, but now I feel much better.”
“Who are you?”
Chongyuanzi’s heart was deeply shocked. This young man’s magical powers were profound and unfathomable, and the might of his formations was unheard of, terrifying beyond imagination.
“Me? Haha…”
The young man threw back his head and laughed heartily. Suddenly, he transformed into the appearance of Shui Miao. “I’m Shui Miao! Senior Chongyuanzi, you didn’t recognize me so quickly?”
This fellow was too cunning, not a word of truth in his mouth! Chongyuanzi’s Thunderous Eyes suddenly turned white as he gazed at the young man and solemnly asked, “Are you Xuan Kong’er, the master craftsman of the Demon Realm?”
“…”
The young man stopped his laughter, his expression turning serious as he nodded. “Chongyuanzi indeed lives up to his reputation. It’s truly surprising that you recognized me.”
“Cut the chatter, Xuan Kong’er. What exactly do you want?”
Chongyuanzi knew very well that Xuan Kong’er was extremely powerful. During the last great war between immortals and demons, he had helped the demon side defeat the immortal realm. At that time, Shui Miao was not even born yet. Such a formidable opponent was beyond formidable, practically unbeatable. However, Chongyuanzi was no coward, and his aura remained strong and defiant.
“Senior Chongyuanzi, let’s talk nicely, no need to be so fierce… Actually! I’m doing all this just for fun, just for amusement…” With a wave of his hand, Xuan Kong’er transformed the entire hall into the hall of Punishment City in the First Heaven. He himself transformed into the Celestial Divination Sage, and before him was a table filled with a lavish fruit feast. “Come on, Brother Chongyuanzi, let’s sit down and chat while we eat.”
Xuan Kong’er’s tone suddenly changed to that of the Celestial Divination Sage.
Xuan Kong’er sat down first.
Chongyuanzi, however, coldly demanded, “Xuan Kong’er, are you just showing off your magical treasures? I don’t find this amusing at all. A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. If you want to kill me, then please do so quickly.”
Because his father was involved, Chong Yuanzi’s emotions became somewhat uncontrollable.
However, Chong Yuanzi was well aware that his father had passed away long ago.
He possessed several magical artifacts, holy weapons, and even supreme-grade holy weapons. He also had a pair of Thunder Eyes that could distinguish good from evil, loyalty from treachery. The visitor was indeed just a demon in disguise.
A demon is a demon, and Chong Yuanzi immediately ordered their execution without mercy.
Thus, thunder and lightning raged before the South Heavenly Gate, and all the demons were slain, leaving none alive.
However, it was strange that the demons came in wave after wave, more than ten batches in total, to the point where Chong Yuanzi grew weary of the slaughter…
Indeed!
Even if it was a fake father, the relentless killing was an absolute psychological burden for Chong Yuanzi.
“Where are all these demons coming from? What has happened to the mortal world?”
“I must go down to the mortal world and see…”
Chong Yuanzi couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
He had originally planned to return to the First Heaven to consult Shui Miao and use the Heavenly Mirror to investigate the clues. But now, disturbed by the fake father demon, he felt it necessary to personally visit the mortal world to find the mastermind behind these demons.
After instructing his subordinates on specific matters, Chong Yuanzi used the Substitute Mirror given to him by Shui Miao, transforming himself into an ordinary celestial general, and descended to the mortal world with a group of heavenly soldiers sent to investigate.
Above Mount Kunlun in the mortal world
A group of several hundred heavenly soldiers, led by the Thunder God, arrived at a mountain peak, parting the clouds to peer below.
The mountain peaks were shrouded in mist, with perpetual white clouds overhead. No wind could disperse the fog here, and even the fiercest sunlight could not drive away the moisture.
Looking down at the area, the Thunder God with a rabbit-like mouth whispered, “This is the place. Those ancient demon immortals emerged from here. Look! Another large group is coming out…”
As the Thunder God spoke, a group of heavenly soldiers flew out from the sea of clouds and mist of Mount Kunlun!
“Hmm?”
With a sweep of his divine sense, Chong Yuanzi noticed that this group of heavenly soldiers looked exactly like his own.
“General, what should we do? Should we eliminate them?”
A celestial general beside Chong Yuanzi whispered, seeking instructions.
Chong Yuanzi shook his head, “They will die if they go to the South Heavenly Gate. Now, our target is the person hiding below. Send someone to summon the Wind God immediately to disperse the mist here.”
“Understood!”
The celestial general promptly dispatched someone.
Soon, the Wind God arrived and used his Wind Bag to create a massive tornado, but the sea of clouds and mist remained unmoved!
“Damn it!”
Chong Yuanzi grew impatient and immediately activated his magical artifacts, unleashing the power of a supreme-grade holy weapon to fiercely strike the sea of clouds and mist!
However, after several strikes, the sea of clouds and mist still showed no change!
Incredible! This was truly incredible!
Realizing the severity of the situation, Chong Yuanzi quickly ordered, “Retreat, let’s withdraw for now.”
“Haha! Thinking of leaving? Not so easy!”
Suddenly, a sharp, piercing voice rang out, and the sea of clouds and mist surged, instantly enveloping everyone, moving faster than lightning.
Chong Yuanzi could have activated his Escape Talisman to flee.
But since the opponent had revealed themselves, Chong Yuanzi was eager to see who this adversary really was.
After a moment of chaos, the heavenly soldiers were wrapped in clouds and transported to an exceptionally spacious golden hall.
As the mist dispersed, a young man dressed in a tattered and old green robe appeared before them. His eyes were unusually bright, but his overall demeanor resembled that of a fallen scholar from ancient times.
“Thunder Department’s Law Venerable Chong Yuanzi, hehe, I didn’t expect to invite you so easily,” the young man smiled faintly at Chong Yuanzi. Suddenly, the wind and clouds surged, and all the heavenly soldiers beside Chong Yuanzi turned to stone. “Hehe, sorry, they were all staring at me with wide eyes, which made me quite uncomfortable, but now I feel much better.”
“Who are you?”
Chong Yuanzi was deeply shocked. This young man’s magical power was unfathomable, and the strength of his formations was unheard of, utterly terrifying.
“Me? Haha…”
The young man laughed heartily, then suddenly transformed into Shui Miao’s appearance. “I am Shui Miao! Senior Chong Yuanzi, have you forgotten me so quickly?”
This guy was too cunning, not a word of truth! Chong Yuanzi’s Thunder Eyes suddenly turned white as he looked at the young man and asked in a deep voice, “Are you the forging prodigy of the demon realm, Xuan Kong’er?”
“…”
The young man put away his frivolous expression and nodded seriously, “Chong Yuanzi is indeed Chong Yuanzi, quite impressive. I didn’t expect you to recognize me, that really surprised me.”
“Enough nonsense, Xuan Kong’er, what exactly do you want?”
Chong Yuanzi was well aware that Xuan Kong’er was extremely powerful. During the last great war between immortals and demons, he had helped the demon realm defeat the immortal realm. Back then, Shui Miao hadn’t even been born yet. Such a formidable opponent was nearly impossible to defeat. However, Chong Yuanzi was not one to fear death, and his demeanor remained strong.
“Senior Chong Yuanzi, let’s talk calmly, no need to be so fierce… Hehe, actually, I’m just doing this for fun, just for amusement…” Xuan Kong’er waved his hand, and the entire hall transformed into the First Heaven, the hall of the Punishment City. He himself turned into the Heavenly Mechanism Venerable, and before him was a table laden with a sumptuous fruit feast. “Come, come, Brother Chong Yuanzi, sit down and let’s chat over this feast.”
Xuan Kong’er’s tone suddenly became that of the Heavenly Mechanism Venerable.
Xuan Kong’er took the initiative to sit down.
Chong Yuanzi, however, coldly demanded, “Xuan Kong’er, are you showing off your magical artifacts? I don’t find this amusing at all. A warrior can be killed but not humiliated. If you wish to kill me, then please do so quickly.”
“Brother, look at what you’re saying. I’m not Shui Miao, who self-destructs at the drop of a hat and kills indiscriminately. I just want to have a good talk with you, that’s all.” Xuan Kong’er reverted to his original appearance, raised his eyebrows, and smiled again. “If you want to know why I created those demons to lure you to the South Heavenly Gate, if you want to know what those ancient immortals are up to, then sit down. I promise that the following conversation will be serious, no jokes.”
“Fine, speak!”
Chong Yuanzi’s heart stirred, and he sat down cross-legged, not even glancing at the fruit feast.
Seeing Chong Yuanzi like this, Xuan Kong’er simply smiled and waved his hand again. A large mirror appeared to the side, showing that a large number of ancient immortals had already returned to their respective sects, heavenly courts, and jade palaces through Escape Talismans, reclaiming what was originally theirs.
After displaying the general situation, Xuan Kong’er spoke, “You’ve underestimated those ancient immortals. Before they left the immortal realm, they had already laid out plans to seize the heavenly court upon their return. As for why I lured you here, it was truly just to have a good chat with you. Of course, I also have a big gift for you.”
Xuan Kong’er flipped his hand, and an oval-shaped jade appeared in his palm. “Brother, this contains your father’s soul. During the great war between immortals and demons, I specifically collected the souls of all the fallen ancient immortals. If I wish, I can resurrect them at any time. Now, can we talk?”
“…”
Chong Yuanzi was momentarily stunned, his emotions extremely complex, unsure of what to say.
“Fine, speak!”
Moved by Chongyuanzi’s words, he sat cross-legged on the spot, not even glancing at the fruit feast.
Because his father was involved, Chong Yuanzi’s emotions became somewhat uncontrollable.
However, Chong Yuanzi was well aware that his father had passed away long ago.
He possessed several magical artifacts, sacred weapons, and even supreme-grade sacred weapons. He also had a pair of Thunder Eyes that could discern good from evil, loyalty from treachery. The visitor was indeed just a transformation of a demon.
A demon is a demon, and Chong Yuanzi immediately ordered their execution without mercy.
Thus, thunderous light filled the sky before the Southern Heavenly Gate, and all the demons were slain, leaving none alive.
However, it was bizarre that the demons came in waves, one after another, more than ten batches in total, to the point where Chong Yuanzi grew weary of the slaughter…
Indeed!
Even though it was a false father, the relentless killing was an absolute psychological burden for Chong Yuanzi.
“Where did so many demons come from? What has happened to the mortal world?”
“No, I must go down to the mortal world and see…”
Chong Yuanzi couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
He had originally planned to return to the First Heaven to seek Shui Miao and use the Heavenly Mirror to investigate the clues. But now, disturbed by the demonic impersonation of his father, he felt he should personally go to the mortal world to find the mastermind behind these demons.
After instructing his subordinates on specific matters, Chong Yuanzi used the Substitute Mirror given to him by Shui Miao, transforming into an ordinary celestial soldier, and descended to the mortal world with a group of heavenly soldiers sent to investigate.
Above Mount Kunlun in the mortal world,
A group of several hundred heavenly soldiers, led by the Thunder God, arrived at a mountain peak, parting the clouds to peer below.
The mountain peaks in this area were shrouded in mist, with perpetual white clouds overhead. No wind could disperse the fog, and even the fiercest sunlight couldn’t drive away the moisture.
Looking down at the region, the Thunder God with a rabbit-like mouth whispered, “This is the place. Those ancient demonic immortals emerged from here. Look! Another large group is coming out…”
As the Thunder God spoke, a group of heavenly soldiers flew out from the sea of clouds and mist over Mount Kunlun.
“Hmm?”
With a sweep of his divine sense, Chong Yuanzi discovered that this group of heavenly soldiers looked exactly like his own.
“General, what should we do? Should we go and eliminate them?”
An officer beside Chong Yuanzi whispered a request.
Chong Yuanzi shook his head, “They will die if they go to the Southern Heavenly Gate. Now, our target is the person hiding below. Immediately send someone to summon the Wind God to disperse the mist here.”
“As you command!”
The celestial officer promptly dispatched someone.
Soon, the Wind God arrived. Using his Wind Bag, he unleashed a massive tornado, but the sea of clouds and mist remained unmoved!
“Damn it!”
Chong Yuanzi grew impatient and immediately activated his magical artifacts, unleashing the power of a supreme-grade sacred weapon to fiercely bombard the sea of clouds and mist!
However, after a series of attacks, the sea of clouds and mist still showed no change!
Incredible! This was truly incredible!
Realizing the severity of the situation, Chong Yuanzi quickly ordered, “Retreat, let’s withdraw for now.”
“Haha! Thinking of leaving? Not so easy!”
Suddenly, a sharp, piercing voice rang out, and the sea of clouds and mist surged, instantly enveloping everyone, moving faster than lightning.

As the mist dispersed, a young man dressed in tattered, old green robes appeared before them. His eyes were exceptionally bright, but his overall demeanor resembled that of a fallen scholar from ancient times.
“Lei Bu Fa Zun Chong Yuanzi, hehe, I didn’t expect it to be so easy to invite you here,” the young man smiled faintly at Chong Yuanzi. Suddenly, the wind and clouds surged, and all the heavenly soldiers beside Chong Yuanzi turned to stone. “Hehe, sorry, they were all staring at me, making me quite uncomfortable, but now I feel much better.”
“Who are you?”
Chong Yuanzi was deeply shocked. This young man’s magical power was unfathomable, and the power of his formations was unprecedented, terrifying to the extreme.
“Me? Haha…”
The young man laughed heartily, then transformed into the image of Shui Miao, “I am Shui Miao! Senior Chong Yuanzi, have you forgotten me so quickly?”
This guy was too cunning, not a word of truth! Chong Yuanzi’s Thunder Eyes suddenly turned white as he looked at the young man and asked in a deep voice, “Are you the forging prodigy of the demon realm, Xuan Kong’er?”
“…”
The young man put away his arrogant expression and nodded seriously, “Chong Yuanzi is indeed Chong Yuanzi, quite impressive. I didn’t expect you to recognize me, that really surprised me.”
“Enough nonsense, Xuan Kong’er, what exactly do you want?”
Chong Yuanzi knew very well that Xuan Kong’er was extremely formidable. In the last great war between immortals and demons, he had helped the demon realm defeat the immortal realm, back when Shui Miao hadn’t even been born. Such a powerful figure was nearly invincible. However, Chong Yuanzi was no coward and maintained a strong demeanor.
“Senior Chong Yuanzi, let’s talk nicely, no need to be so fierce… hehe, actually, I’m just doing this for fun, just for amusement…” Xuan Kong’er waved his hand, and the entire hall transformed into the First Heaven, the hall of the Punishment City. He himself turned into the Heavenly Mechanism Sovereign, and before him was a table laden with a sumptuous fruit feast. “Come, come, Brother Chong Yuanzi, sit down and let’s chat while we eat.”
Xuan Kong’er’s tone suddenly changed to that of the Heavenly Mechanism Sovereign.
Xuan Kong’er took the initiative to sit down.
Chong Yuanzi, however, coldly demanded, “Xuan Kong’er, are you showing off your magical artifacts? I don’t find this amusing. A scholar can be killed but not humiliated. If you want to kill me, then please do it quickly.”
“Brother, look at what you’re saying. I’m not Shui Miao, who self-destructs at the drop of a hat and kills innocents indiscriminately. I just want to have a good talk with you, that’s all,” Xuan Kong’er reverted to his own appearance, raised an eyebrow, and smiled again. “If you want to know why I created those demons to lure you to the Southern Heavenly Gate, if you want to know what those ancient immortals are up to, then sit down. I promise the following conversation will be sincere, no jokes.”
“Alright, speak!”
Chong Yuanzi’s heart stirred, and he sat down cross-legged, not even glancing at the fruit feast.
Seeing Chong Yuanzi like this, Xuan Kong’er simply smiled and waved his hand again. A large mirror appeared to the side, showing a multitude of ancient immortals who had already returned to their respective sects, heavenly courts, and jade palaces via Escape Talismans, reclaiming what was originally theirs.
After displaying the general situation, Xuan Kong’er spoke, “You all underestimated those ancient immortals. Before they left the immortal realm, they had already devised a plan to return and seize the heavenly court. As for why I lured you here, I genuinely just wanted to have a good chat with you. Of course, I also have a big gift for you.”
Xuan Kong’er flipped his hand, and an oval-shaped jade appeared in his palm. “Brother, this contains your father’s primordial spirit. During the great war between immortals and demons, I specifically collected the primordial spirits of all the fallen ancient immortals. If I wish, I can resurrect them at any time. Now, can we talk?”
“…”
Chong Yuanzi was momentarily stunned, his emotions extremely complex, unsure of what to say.
After displaying the general situation, Xuan Kong’er began to speak, “You underestimated those ancient immortals too much. Before they left the immortal realm, they had already laid out a plan to return and seize control of the heavenly court. Also, the reason I lured you here was really just to have a good chat with you. Of course, I will also give you a great gift.”
Involving his father, Chong Yuanzi’s emotions became somewhat uncontrollable.
However, Chong Yuanzi was well aware that his father had passed away long ago.
He possessed several magical artifacts, sacred instruments, and even supreme-grade sacred instruments. He also had a pair of Thunder Eyes that could discern good from evil, loyalty from treachery. The visitor was indeed a transformation of a demonic spirit.
A demonic spirit is a demonic spirit, and Chong Yuanzi immediately ordered their execution without mercy.
Thus, before the South Heavenly Gate, thunder and lightning surged, and all the demonic spirits were annihilated, leaving none alive.
However, it was bizarre that the demonic spirits came in waves, over ten batches in a row, making Chong Yuanzi grow weary of the slaughter…
Indeed!
Even a false father couldn’t withstand continuous slaughter, which was an absolute psychological burden for Chong Yuanzi.
“Where are all these demons coming from? What has happened to the mortal world?”
“No, I must go down to the mortal world and see…”
Chong Yuanzi couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
He had originally planned to return to the First Heaven to find Shui Miao and use the Heavenly Mirror to investigate clues. But now, disturbed by the false father demonic spirits, he felt he should personally go to the mortal world to find the mastermind behind these demonic spirits.
After instructing his subordinates on specific matters, Chong Yuanzi used the Substitute Mirror given by Shui Miao, transformed into an ordinary celestial general, and descended to the mortal world with a group of celestial soldiers sent to investigate.
Above Kunlun Mountain in the mortal world
Hundreds of celestial soldiers, led by the Thunder God, arrived at a mountain peak, parted the clouds, and peered downward.
The mountain peaks were shrouded in mist, with perpetual white clouds overhead. No wind could disperse the fog here, and even the fiercest sunlight couldn’t drive away the moisture.
Looking at the area below, the Thunder God with a rabbit-like mouth whispered, “This is the place. Those ancient demonic immortals came from here. Look! Another large group is emerging…”
As the Thunder God spoke, a group of celestial soldiers flew out from the sea of clouds and mist of Kunlun Mountain!
“Hmm?”
Chong Yuanzi scanned with his divine sense and found that this group of celestial soldiers looked exactly like his own.
“General, what should we do? Should we go and eliminate them?”
A celestial general beside Chong Yuanzi whispered for instructions.
Chong Yuanzi shook his head, “They will die if they go to the South Heavenly Gate. Now, the person we need to deal with is the one hiding below. Immediately send someone to summon the Wind God to disperse the clouds and mist here.”
“As you command!”
The celestial general immediately sent someone.
Soon, the Wind God arrived. Using his Wind Bag, he unleashed a massive tornado, but the sea of clouds and mist remained unmoved!
“Damn it!”
Chong Yuanzi grew impatient and immediately activated his magical artifacts, using the power of a supreme-grade sacred instrument to fiercely attack the sea of clouds and mist!
However, after a series of attacks, the sea of clouds and mist still showed no change!
Incredible! This is truly incredible!
Realizing the severity of the situation, Chong Yuanzi quickly ordered, “Retreat, let’s retreat for now.”
“Haha! Thinking of leaving? Not so easy!”

“Cut the nonsense, Xuan Kong’er, what exactly do you want?”
Chong Yuanzi knew very well that Xuan Kong’er was extremely powerful. He had helped the Demon Realm defeat the Immortal Realm in the last Immortal-Demon War, back when Shui Miao hadn’t even been born yet. Such a formidable opponent was nearly invincible.

“Senior Chong Yuanzi, let’s talk nicely, no need to be so harsh… hehe, actually, I’m just doing this for fun, just for amusement…” Xuan Kong’er waved his hand, and the entire hall transformed into the First Heaven, the hall of the Punishment City. He himself turned into the Heavenly Mechanism Venerable, and before him was a table laden with a sumptuous fruit feast. “Come, come, Brother Chong Yuanzi, sit down and let’s chat while we eat.”

Chongyuanzi was momentarily stunned, his heart in turmoil, not knowing what to say.
