This dragon had returned because this area was its territory.
Earlier, when it roared, it had intended to use the black dragon to kill the intruder, but the outcome was beyond its expectation. Upon returning, the dragon saw Xingtian Fazun at a glance and became furious. In its eyes, Xingtian Fazun was merely a small prey.
When Xingtian Fazun saw the dragon, he was greatly shocked. He had never seen such a large dragon before—it was terrifying.
The dragon moved too fast for Xingtian Fazun to evade, leaving him no choice but to fight back.
The dragon bit him hard and flung him away…
Not far away, Shuitianyi Holy Mother, who was cultivating by absorbing water-elemental energy, hastily sent her puppet to launch a water-elemental attack at the dragon. However, the dragon had grown up in water—how could it possibly fear water? It countered with a mighty dragon-tail swipe aimed at Shuitianyi Holy Mother’s puppet. Fortunately, the puppet’s body was light enough to swiftly dodge the attack.
Unfortunately, Shuitianyi Holy Mother’s puppet could only launch water-elemental attacks, which were completely ineffective against the dragon.
The dragon then lunged at Xingtian Fazun again.
Xingtian Fazun was thrown violently, crashing into a mountain and collapsing half of it. Yet, he was completely unharmed, which startled and delighted him. He realized that his body was incredibly strong. Filled with confidence, he flapped his wings and charged back at the dragon.
Seeing that Xingtian Fazun was still alive, the dragon became furious. Its whiskers trembled, revealing its sharp teeth as it bit down viciously. Xingtian Fazun was heavy and couldn’t dodge, so he was bitten. But instead of panicking, he used his strength to pry open the dragon’s jaws, then slammed his head into its teeth, knocking one out.
Xingtian Fazun was a mighty Xian Di-level expert. After his revival, he connected with his realm and used massive amounts of imperial energy to transform his body, making it extremely powerful.
The dragon returned because this area was its territory. Earlier, its roar was an attempt to use the black dragon to kill the intruders, but the outcome was clearly beyond its expectations. Upon returning and seeing the Xingtian Dharma Lord, the dragon became furious. In its eyes, the Xingtian Dharma Lord was merely a small prey.
Seeing the dragon, the Xingtian Dharma Lord was also greatly shocked. He had never seen such a large dragon before; it was truly terrifying.
The dragon was too fast, and the Xingtian Dharma Lord had no choice but to confront it. The dragon bit him and flung him away with great force…
Not far away, the Water Sky Saintess, who was absorbing water spiritual energy for cultivation, quickly sent her avatar to launch a water-based attack on the dragon. However, the dragon, having grown up in water, was not afraid of it. It countered with a powerful tail swipe aimed at the Water Sky Saintess’s puppet. Fortunately, the puppet’s body was light enough to dodge the attack effortlessly.
Unfortunately, the Water Sky Saintess’s puppet could only use water-based magical attacks, which did not harm the dragon in the slightest.
The dragon then lunged at the Xingtian Dharma Lord again.
The Xingtian Dharma Lord was thrown with such force that he crashed into a mountain, collapsing half of it. Yet, he was unharmed, which both surprised and delighted him. Realizing the strength of his body, the Xingtian Dharma Lord flapped his wings and charged back at the dragon.
Seeing that the Xingtian Dharma Lord was still alive, the dragon became even more enraged. Its whiskers trembled, revealing its sharp teeth as it bit down hard on the Xingtian Dharma Lord. Unable to dodge due to his heavy body, the Xingtian Dharma Lord was caught by the dragon. However, he managed to force open the dragon’s mouth and slammed his head against its teeth, knocking one out.
The Xingtian Dharma Lord was a powerful Immortal Emperor. After his resurrection, he communicated with the spatial realm, and a vast amount of imperial energy transformed his body, making him incredibly strong.
The dragon, in excruciating pain, thrashed wildly, trying to fling the Xingtian Dharma Lord away. But the Xingtian Dharma Lord only grew more ferocious. He began pulling out the dragon’s teeth and, not satisfied with that, even ventured into the dragon’s belly, tearing and ripping. Soon, the dragon was in so much pain that it crashed into a giant rock, sending debris flying everywhere.
“Dragon, do you submit? If you do, nod your head, and I’ll ask the Xingtian Dharma Lord to spare you. If not, you’re doomed.”
The dragon, after all, was innocent. Shui Miao, filled with compassion, flew in front of the dragon and spoke loudly, hoping to tame it and remind the Xingtian Dharma Lord inside its belly to show mercy.
“Roar!”
The dragon let out a weak roar and nodded its head.
Seeing this, Shui Miao quickly sent a mental message to the Xingtian Dharma Lord, “Xingtian Dharma Lord, killing this dragon serves no purpose. If you like it, take it as a mount. If not, let it go.”
“Good! I’m not used to flying yet, so I’ll take it as a mount.”
The Xingtian Dharma Lord immediately emerged from the dragon’s mouth, completely unharmed.
The dragon, with its internal organs damaged by the Xingtian Dharma Lord, was on the brink of death. Knowing this, the Xingtian Dharma Lord quickly used his magic to heal it.
It turned out that although the creatures in this world were massive, they didn’t know how to use complex magic and relied solely on brute force.
Feeling the power of the magic, the dragon became fearful and gave up its resistance.
“Shui Miao, my avatar is too weak; it can only spit water. How is that acceptable?” The Water Sky Saintess hurried over, frustrated with her puppet’s inadequacy.
Shui Miao smiled faintly, “No rush. I’ll forge a magical artifact for you later, allowing your puppet to spit frost and freeze enemies solid.”
“Great! That’s a fantastic idea. Haha, I’ll continue my cultivation.”
The Water Sky Saintess, now acting like a young girl, had changed significantly during her time with Shui Miao.
Shui Miao returned to the mountain peak and helped Tianyi Dejun and Wenchang Emperor create two divine beasts. Tianyi Dejun’s Qilin divine beast, primarily earth-based with purple aura, was massive and capable of moving mountains and controlling rocks. Its earth attribute meant it would excel in earth-based magic.
Wenchang Emperor’s Azure Dragon, primarily water and wood-based, held a fire and yin-yang energy condensed dragon pearl in its mouth, capable of summoning lightning. Although its magic was average, the Azure Dragon’s intelligence was exceptional, destined to master wood and thunder-based magic.
After helping everyone create their desired puppets, Shui Miao moved the severely injured Chong Yuanzi, who had been recuperating on the spatial planet, out. Chong Yuanzi, the God of Thunder Punishment, was straightforward and upright. Shui Miao forged a giant Thunderbird divine beast for him, which was yang-based and proficient in various thunder spells, perfectly suited to Chong Yuanzi’s preferences.
Subsequently, Shui Miao and the others explored the area within a radius of several hundred miles centered around the giant peak.
The terrain was filled with mountains, rivers, and swamps, all shrouded in chaotic energy. Apart from some large bird monsters, the area was dominated by massive dragons, including jiao dragons, black dragons, and white dragons. Their common trait was their enormous size, but they lacked the knowledge to use magic.
The area beyond a hundred miles was filled with water vapor and had little earth-based spiritual energy, which Shui Miao considered as the sea.
This was a paradise for dragons, with thousands of them scattered everywhere.
However, after a few days of forceful taming by Shui Miao and his companions, the dragons either fled or scattered. The remaining few dozen all became disciples of Wenchang Emperor, learning the ways of cultivation.
Whether jiao dragons, white dragons, or black dragons, all had deep reserves of magical energy but lacked the knowledge to cultivate it.
Under Wenchang Emperor’s careful guidance, the dragons transformed into human forms, learned to speak, and acquired many human etiquettes.
Shui Miao named this area Dragon Island.
※※※
Four days later, atop the mountain peak, Shui Miao was speaking with the angel puppet he had created.
His body had doubled in size, and it radiated a golden light, clearly having absorbed a significant amount of chaotic energy.
He was filled with joy and had brought back a gift—a massive green stone.
He named himself Zixian.
The name was simple and fitting, as Shui Miao had indeed used a large amount of purple aura in creating him.
As it turned out, Zixian’s luck was indeed excellent. In three days, he ventured deep underground beyond a hundred miles, found the world’s wood elemental stone, forged a Time Tower, and created several magical artifacts. After three days of cultivation, his strength and cultivation had greatly advanced, reaching the level of an Immortal Emperor.
After learning about Zixian’s experiences, Shui Miao asked, “Zixian, have you found Xuankong’er?”
“I tracked his aura, and it seems he left Dragon Island, probably heading east.”
Zixian pointed to where the sun rose every day.
This planet also had a sun, though it was hazy and not very clear. However, with careful observation, one could still distinguish the cardinal directions.
After a pause, Zixian asked Shui Miao, “What are your plans for the future?”
“I’d like to hear your opinion,” Shui Miao immediately countered.
Shui Miao was curious about how the personality of this life form, created from chaotic energy he hadn’t refined, would change.
Zixian thought for a moment and said, “I tried going deep into the planet’s core, but the chaotic energy was too dense, and I couldn’t go any further. That’s why my color changed. I think solving the problems of the three realms isn’t that difficult. This world must have primordial spiritual energy. Finding it within three years and cultivating a post-natal spiritual body shouldn’t be a problem. So, we don’t necessarily have to travel the entire planet. There are more beneficial things we can do, like reshaping this place into a new three realms and living here. Wouldn’t that be better?”
Indeed, there was a change. Staying here and ignoring the three realms wasn’t Shui Miao’s style.
Shui Miao was a man of principle and would never abandon his homeland.
I understand now. The chaotic energy here is the spiritual energy emitted from the planet’s core. The planet is like a mother, with special feelings for the life it nurtures. As a life form born from this planet, it’s natural to reciprocate those feelings. Zixian’s personality change, focusing more on this planet, is understandable.
Shui Miao even thought of Hongjun Daoren.
Hongjun Daoren might also be a puppet left by some powerful being, torn between two planets.
Thinking of this sentiment, Shui Miao couldn’t help but sigh and said to Zixian, “You and I are the same. You were born from the chaotic energy here, which is something that brings me comfort. Now, listen to me once more, stay here, take care of yourself, and don’t worry about the things I need to consider. This is your home. I’ll handle my own matters. I just want you to live well and not worry me. Also, you must grow stronger quickly. I used Nuwa’s talisman to come here, and others might do the same. The universe is vast and mysterious. To achieve immortality, you must become stronger, much stronger.”
Looking at Zixian, Shui Miao suddenly felt as if he were looking at his own child, with a faint sense of melancholy in his heart.
“I know, I’ll work hard because I am you,” Zixian, who originally had his own plans, felt enlightened after hearing Shui Miao’s words and immediately found his life’s direction—to become stronger. “By the way, I have one more request. Can I see the talisman that takes you back?”
“Of course, it’s your right…”
Shui Miao immediately took out the return talisman, and Zixian, after sensing it, memorized it firmly.
“My original self, I’m leaving. I’m going to train in more distant places. I’m smart, and my luck is good. Please don’t worry about me.” Zixian gave Shui Miao a firm salute and then vanished in a flash.
“…”
Zixian had disappeared. Shui Miao looked down at the talisman in his hand…
Suddenly, Shui Miao’s heart stirred!
“Wait! If there’s one talisman, there must be a second, a third… Nuwa knows about this place, and others must too. This place has all kinds of auras. For cultivators, although it’s dangerous, it’s also a paradise for cultivation. With Nuwa’s power, she could have tamed these magic-ignorant dragons, so why didn’t she? If this place is so good, and Nuwa can create humans, why didn’t she create them here instead of going to the spiritually barren three realms? Could it be that this world itself has some enormous problem? Right, Nuwa also wanted to give me the primordial spiritual treasure, which means this world must be more complex, with something particularly terrifying and dangerous! So, Xuankong’er and Zixian might both be in danger!”
“No, I must go and help them…”
After a moment of contemplation, Shui Miao immediately gathered everyone and chased in the direction Zixian had disappeared.
“Dragon, will you submit? If you do, nod your head, and I’ll have Xingtian let you go. If not, you will die.”
The dragon was innocent after all. Moved with compassion, Shui Miao flew swiftly in front of it and shouted, hoping to tame it and at the same time warn Xingtian Fazun inside the dragon to show mercy.
“Roar!”
The dragon let out a weak roar and nodded its head.
Seeing this, Shui Miao quickly sent a mental message to Xingtian Fazun: “Senior Xingtian, killing this dragon serves no purpose. If you like it, take it as a mount. If not, just let it go.”
“Fine! I was indeed not used to flying, so I’ll take it as a mount.”
Xingtian Fazun immediately climbed out of the dragon’s mouth, completely unscathed.
The dragon, however, had suffered internal injuries and was barely alive.
Knowing this, Xingtian Fazun immediately used his magical power to heal it.
It turned out that while the creatures in this world were huge, they didn’t know how to use complex magical techniques and relied only on brute force.
Feeling the power of the magic, the dragon became fearful and gave up resistance.
“Shui Miao, my puppet is too weak—it can only spit water! How can that be acceptable?” Shuitianyi Holy Mother rushed over, frustrated with her puppet.
Shui Miao smiled calmly, “Don’t worry. I’ll forge a magical artifact for you later so your puppet can spit frost and freeze your enemies.”
“Great idea! Haha, I’ll go back to cultivating then.”
Shuitianyi Holy Mother acted like a young girl now, and she had changed a lot since spending time with Shui Miao.
Back on the mountain peak, Shui Miao helped Tianyi Dejun and Wenchang Dijun create two divine beasts. Tianyi Dejun’s Qilin beast was primarily infused with earth-elemental energy and purple fortune aura. It was massive in size, capable of moving mountains and controlling stones. Being earth-based, it would naturally excel in earth-elemental magic.
Wenchang Dijun’s Azure Dragon was mainly infused with water and wood-elemental energy. It held in its mouth a dragon pearl formed from fire-elemental energy and yin-yang energy, capable of summoning lightning. Though not particularly strong in magic, the Azure Dragon was highly intelligent and destined to master wood and lightning-elemental techniques.
After helping everyone create their desired puppets, Shui Miao summoned Chongyuanzi, who had been severely injured and recovering in the realm planet. As the god of thunder punishment, Chongyuanzi was straightforward and just. Shui Miao forged for him a giant thunderbird beast, a yang-elemental creature that specialized in lightning magic—exactly what Chongyuanzi loved.
Then, together with everyone, Shui Miao scouted the area within a radius of hundreds of miles, centered around the mountain.
The dragon returned because this area was its territory. Earlier, its roar was an attempt to summon the black dragon to kill the intruders, but the outcome was beyond its expectations. Upon returning and seeing the Heavenly Punishment Dharma Lord, the dragon was enraged. In its eyes, the Dharma Lord was merely a small prey.
The Heavenly Punishment Dharma Lord was also shocked upon seeing the dragon. He had never encountered such a massive dragon before—it was truly terrifying.
The dragon moved too quickly for the Dharma Lord to evade, leaving him no choice but to fight.
The dragon bit him fiercely and flung him away…
Not far away, the Water Sky Saintess, who was absorbing water spiritual energy for cultivation, immediately sent her avatar to launch a water-based attack on the dragon. However, the dragon, having grown up in water, was unfazed by the attack. It countered with a powerful tail swipe aimed at the Saintess’s avatar. Fortunately, the avatar’s body was light enough to dodge the attack with ease.
Unfortunately, the Saintess’s avatar could only use water-based magical attacks, which did no harm to the dragon.
The dragon then lunged at the Heavenly Punishment Dharma Lord again.
The Dharma Lord had been thrown so hard that he crashed into a mountain, shattering half of it. Yet, he emerged unscathed, which both surprised and delighted him. Realizing the strength of his own body, the Dharma Lord gained confidence and flapped his wings, charging back at the dragon.
Seeing that the Dharma Lord was still alive, the dragon grew even more furious. Its whiskers trembled, and its sharp teeth were bared as it bit down hard on the Dharma Lord. Unable to dodge due to his heavy body, the Dharma Lord was caught in the dragon’s jaws. However, he managed to force the dragon’s mouth open and slammed his head against its teeth, knocking one of them out.
The Heavenly Punishment Dharma Lord was a powerful Immortal Emperor. After his resurrection, he had communicated with the conceptual space, and a vast amount of imperial energy had transformed his body, making him incredibly strong.
The dragon writhed in pain, thrashing its head wildly in an attempt to throw the Dharma Lord off. But the Dharma Lord only grew more ferocious in battle. He began pulling out the dragon’s teeth, and after a while, unsatisfied, he burrowed into the dragon’s belly, tearing and ripping at its insides. Soon, the dragon was in such agony that it crashed into a giant rock, sending debris flying everywhere.
“Dragon, do you submit? If you do, nod your head, and I’ll ask the Heavenly Punishment Dharma Lord to spare you. If not, you’re doomed.”
The dragon, after all, was innocent. Water Sky, moved by compassion, flew in front of the dragon and spoke loudly, hoping to tame it and remind the Dharma Lord inside its belly to show mercy.
“Roar!”
The dragon let out a weak roar and nodded its head.
Seeing this, Water Sky quickly sent a mental message to the Heavenly Punishment Dharma Lord, “Heavenly Punishment Dharma Lord, killing this dragon serves no purpose. If you like it, take it as a mount. If not, let it go.”
“Good! I’m not used to flying anyway. I’ll take it as a mount.”
The Heavenly Punishment Dharma Lord immediately emerged from the dragon’s mouth, completely unharmed.
The dragon’s internal organs had been severely damaged by the Dharma Lord, and it was on the brink of death.
Realizing the dragon’s condition, the Dharma Lord immediately used his magic to heal it.
It turned out that the creatures in this world, despite their massive size, did not know how to use complex magic and relied solely on brute force.
The dragon, sensing the miraculous power of the Dharma Lord’s magic, became fearful and abandoned any thought of resistance.
“Water Sky, my avatar is too weak. All it can do is spit water. How is that acceptable?” The Water Sky Saintess rushed over, frustrated with her avatar’s inadequacy.
Water Sky smiled faintly, “Don’t worry. I’ll forge a magical artifact for you later, allowing your avatar to spit frost and freeze enemies solid.”
“Great! That’s a fantastic idea. Haha, I’ll continue my cultivation.”
The Water Sky Saintess had changed significantly during her time with Water Sky, becoming more like a young girl.
Water Sky returned to the mountain peak and helped Tianyi Dejun and Wenchang Emperor create two divine beasts.

Chongyuanzi, the God of Thunder Punishment, was known for his straightforward nature. Water Sky forged a giant Thunderbird divine beast for him, which was yang-based and skilled in various thunder spells—perfect for Chongyuanzi.
Subsequently, Water Sky and the others explored the area within a radius of several hundred miles, centered around the giant peak.
The terrain was filled with mountains, rivers, and marshes, permeated with chaotic energy. Apart from some large bird monsters, the area was dominated by massive dragons—some were flood dragons, others black or white dragons. Their common trait was their enormous size, but they lacked the knowledge to use magic.
The region beyond a hundred miles was filled with water energy, with little earth energy. Water Sky considered it a sea.
This was a paradise for dragons, with thousands of them roaming the area.
However, after several days of forceful taming by Water Sky and his companions, most of the dragons fled or scattered. The few dozen that remained all became disciples of Wenchang Emperor, learning the ways of cultivation.
Whether they were flood dragons, white dragons, or black dragons, these dragons had deep reserves of magical energy but lacked the knowledge to cultivate it.
Under Wenchang Emperor’s careful guidance, the dragons transformed into human forms, learned to speak, and were taught proper etiquette.
Water Sky named this area Dragon Island.

“I tracked his aura. It seems he left Dragon Island, probably heading east.”
Zixian pointed in the direction of the rising sun.
This planet also had a sun, though it was hazy and not very clear. However, with careful observation, one could still discern the cardinal directions.
After a pause, Zixian asked Water Sky, “What are your plans for the future?”
“I’d like to hear your opinion,” Water Sky immediately countered.
Water Sky was curious about how this life form, created from unrefined chaotic energy, would develop in terms of personality.
Zixian thought for a moment and said, “I tried going deep into the planet’s core, but the chaotic energy was too dense, and I couldn’t proceed. That’s why my color changed. I think solving the problems of the three realms isn’t that difficult. This world must have primordial spiritual energy.

As a life form born from this planet, it’s natural for Zixian to reciprocate that affection. His personality has shifted, focusing more on this planet, which is understandable.
Water Sky even thought of Hongjun Daoren.
Hongjun Daoren might also be a puppet left by some powerful being, torn between two planets.
Thinking of this sentiment, Water Sky sighed and said to Zixian, “You and I are the same. You were born from the chaotic energy here, and that’s something I find comforting. Now, listen to me once more. Stay here, take care of yourself, and don’t worry about the things I need to handle. This is your home. I’ll take care of my own matters.

“…”
Zixian was gone. Water Sky looked down at the talisman in his hand…
Suddenly, he had a thought!
“Wait! If there’s one talisman, there must be a second, a third… Nuwa knows about this place, and others must too. This place has all kinds of energy. For cultivators, it’s dangerous but also a paradise for cultivation. With Nuwa’s power, she could have tamed these dragons that don’t know magic. So why didn’t she? If this place is so good, and Nuwa can create life, why didn’t she create life here instead of going to the spiritually barren three realms? Could it be that this world has some enormous problem? Also, Nuwa promised to give me the Primordial Spiritual Treasure, which means this world must be more complex. There must be something terrifyingly dangerous here! So, Xuankong’er and Zixian might both be in danger!”
“No, I have to go help them…”
After a moment of thought, Water Sky immediately gathered everyone and chased after Zixian in the direction he had disappeared.
The area within a hundred miles was filled with water energy and lacked earth-elemental energy. Shui Miao regarded it as an ocean.
This was a paradise for dragons, with thousands of them roaming freely.
However, after a few days of forceful taming by Shui Miao and his companions, most dragons fled or scattered. The few dozen that remained all became disciples of Wenchang Dijun and started learning cultivation.
The dragon returned because this area was its territory. Its earlier roar was an attempt to use the black dragon to kill the intruders, but the result was beyond its expectations. Upon returning and seeing the Xingtian Dharma Lord, the dragon became furious. In its eyes, the Xingtian Dharma Lord was merely a small prey.
Seeing the dragon, the Xingtian Dharma Lord was also greatly shocked. He had never seen such a large dragon before; it was truly terrifying.
The dragon was too fast, and the Xingtian Dharma Lord had no choice but to fight.
The dragon bit him, flung him hard, and threw him away…
Not far away, the Water Heaven Mother, who was absorbing water spiritual energy for cultivation, quickly sent her avatar to launch a water-based attack on the dragon. However, the dragon, having grown up in water, was not afraid of it. It countered with a powerful tail swipe aimed at the Water Heaven Mother’s puppet. Fortunately, the puppet’s body was light enough to dodge the attack with a gentle float.
Unfortunately, the Water Heaven Mother’s puppet could only use water-based magical attacks, which couldn’t harm the dragon at all.
The dragon then lunged at the Xingtian Dharma Lord again.
The Xingtian Dharma Lord was thrown hard, crashing into a mountain and collapsing half of it, but he was unharmed. This both surprised and delighted him, as he realized how strong his body had become. With newfound confidence, he flapped his wings and charged back at the dragon.
Seeing that the Xingtian Dharma Lord was still alive, the dragon became even more enraged. Its whiskers trembled, revealing its sharp teeth as it bit down hard on the Xingtian Dharma Lord. Unable to dodge due to his heavy body, the Xingtian Dharma Lord was caught by the dragon. However, he managed to force open the dragon’s mouth and slammed his head against its teeth, knocking one of them out.
The Xingtian Dharma Lord was a powerful Immortal Emperor. After his resurrection, he connected with the spatial realm, and a vast amount of imperial energy transformed his body, making him incredibly strong.
The dragon felt intense pain and thrashed wildly, trying to throw the Xingtian Dharma Lord off. But the Xingtian Dharma Lord only grew more ferocious. He began pulling out the dragon’s teeth from inside its mouth, and after a while, he wasn’t satisfied and directly entered the dragon’s belly, tearing and ripping. Soon, the dragon was in so much pain that it crashed into a giant rock, causing debris to fly everywhere.
“Dragon, do you submit? If you do, nod your head, and I’ll ask the Xingtian Dharma Lord to spare you. If not, you’re doomed.”
The dragon, after all, was innocent. Shui Miao, feeling compassionate, flew in front of the dragon and spoke loudly, hoping to tame it and also remind the Xingtian Dharma Lord inside the dragon’s belly to show mercy.
“Roar!”
The dragon let out a weak roar and nodded its head.
Seeing this, Shui Miao quickly sent a mental message to the Xingtian Dharma Lord, “Xingtian Dharma Lord, killing this dragon is pointless. If you like it, take it as a mount. If not, let it go.”
“Good! I’m not used to flying anyway, so I’ll take it as a mount.”
The Xingtian Dharma Lord immediately emerged from the dragon’s mouth, completely unharmed.
The dragon’s internal organs were severely damaged by the Xingtian Dharma Lord and was on the verge of death.
Knowing the dragon’s condition, the Xingtian Dharma Lord quickly used his magic to heal it.
It turned out that although the creatures in this world were massive, they didn’t know how to use complex magic and relied solely on brute force.
Feeling the power of the magic, the dragon became fearful and gave up its resistance.
“Shui Miao, my avatar is too weak; it can only spit water. How is that acceptable?” The Water Heaven Mother hurried over, dissatisfied with her puppet’s performance.
Shui Miao smiled faintly, “No rush. I’ll forge a magical artifact for you later, allowing your puppet to spit frost and freeze enemies directly.”
“Great! That’s a wonderful idea. Haha, I’ll continue my cultivation.”
The Water Heaven Mother had changed a lot, acting like a young girl. Her time with Shui Miao had transformed her greatly.

“I tracked his aura, but it seems he left Dragon Island, probably heading east.”
Zixian pointed to where the sun rose every day.
This planet also had a sun, though it was hazy and not very clear. However, with careful observation, one could still distinguish the cardinal directions.
After a pause, Zixian asked Shui Miao, “What are your plans for the future?”
“I’d like to hear your opinion,” Shui Miao immediately countered.
Shui Miao was curious about how this life form, created from chaotic energy he hadn’t refined, would change in personality.
Zixian thought for a moment and said, “I tried going deep into the planet’s core, but the chaotic energy was too dense, and I couldn’t go further. That’s why my color changed. I think solving the problems of the three realms isn’t that difficult. This world must have primordial energy. Finding it within three years and cultivating a post-celestial body shouldn’t be a problem. So, we don’t need to travel the entire planet. There are more beneficial things we can do, like reshaping this place into a new three realms and living here. Wouldn’t that be better?”
Indeed, there was a change. Staying here and ignoring the three realms wasn’t in Shui Miao’s nature.
Shui Miao was a man of principle and would never abandon his homeland.
I understand now. The chaotic energy here is emitted from the planet’s core. The planet is like a mother, with a special affection for the life it nurtures. As a life form born from this planet, it’s natural to reciprocate that affection. Zixian’s change in personality, focusing more on this planet, is understandable.
Shui Miao even thought of Hongjun Daoren.
Hongjun Daoren might also be a puppet left by some powerful being, torn between two planets.
Thinking of this, Shui Miao sighed and said to Zixian, “You and I are the same. You were born from the chaotic energy here, and that’s something I find comforting. Now, listen to me once more: stay here, take care of yourself, and don’t worry about the things I need to consider. This is your home. I’ll handle my own affairs. I just want you to live well and not make me worry. Also, you must grow stronger quickly. I used Nuwa’s talisman to come here, and others might do the same. The universe is vast and mysterious. To achieve immortality, you must become stronger, much stronger.”
Looking at Zixian, Shui Miao suddenly felt as if he were looking at his own child, with a faint sense of bittersweetness in his heart.
“I know, I’ll work hard because I am you,” Zixian, who originally had his own plans, felt enlightened after hearing Shui Miao’s words and immediately found his life’s direction—to become stronger. “By the way, I have one more request. Can I see the talisman that takes you back?”
“Of course, it’s your right…”
Shui Miao immediately took out the return talisman, and Zixian sensed it, memorizing it firmly in his mind.
“My original self, I’m leaving. I’m going to train in more distant places. I’m smart, and my luck is good. Please don’t worry about me.” Zixian gave Shui Miao a firm salute and then vanished in a flash.
“…”
Zixian had disappeared. Shui Miao looked down at the talisman in his hand…
Suddenly, Shui Miao’s heart stirred!
“Wait a minute! If there’s one talisman, there must be a second, a third… Nuwa knows about this place, so others must too. This place has all kinds of energy. For cultivators, although it’s dangerous, it’s also a paradise for cultivation. With Nuwa’s power, she could have tamed these dragons that don’t know magic. So why didn’t she? If this place is so good, and Nuwa can create humans, why didn’t she create them here instead of going to the energy-poor three realms? Could it be that this world itself has some enormous problem? Right, Nuwa also wanted to give me the primordial treasure, which means this world must be more complex, with something particularly terrifying and dangerous! In that case, Xuankong’er and Zixian might both be in danger!”
“No, I must go and help them…”
After a moment of thought, Shui Miao immediately gathered everyone and chased in the direction Zixian had disappeared.
Under Wenchang Dijun’s careful guidance, the dragons transformed into human forms. They learned to speak and acquired proper etiquette from him.
Shui Miao named this area the Isle of Dragons.
※※※
Four days later, on the mountain peak, Shui Miao was speaking with the angel puppet he had created.
His body had doubled in size and was glowing with golden light, clearly having absorbed a large amount of chaotic energy.
He was full of joy and had even brought back a gift—a massive green stone.
He had given himself a name: Zixian.
It was a simple name, fitting reality, as Shui Miao had indeed used a great amount of purple fortune energy in creating him.
Indeed, Zixian had great luck. In just three days, he had ventured deep underground, hundreds of miles away, and found the world’s Muyuan Stone. He forged a Time Tower and several magical artifacts. After three days of cultivation, his power had greatly increased, reaching the level of a Xian Di expert.
After learning about Zixian’s journey, Shui Miao asked, “Zixian, did you find Xuankong’er?”
“I traced his aura, and it seems he left the Isle of Dragons. He probably went east.”
Zixian pointed toward the direction where the sun rose every day.
This planet also had a sun, though it was hazy and not very clear. However, with careful observation, one could still distinguish directions.
After a pause, Zixian asked Shui Miao, “What are your plans from now on?”
“I want to hear your opinion first,” Shui Miao replied.
Shui Miao was curious to see how the personality of this life form, created from chaotic energy without his refinement, would develop.
Zixian thought for a moment and said, “I tried to go deeper into the planet’s core, but the chaotic energy was too dense for me to penetrate. That’s why my body turned this color. I think solving the problems of the Three Realms isn’t that difficult. There must be Yuan Ling energy in this world. If we can find it within three years, forging a post-Heavenly Spirit Body shouldn’t be a problem. So, there’s no need for us to travel the entire planet. There are more meaningful and beneficial things to do—like transforming this place into a new Three Realms and settling here. Wouldn’t that be better?”
Indeed, there was a change. Staying here and ignoring the Three Realms was not in Shui Miao’s nature.
Shui Miao was a person who always saw things through to the end and would never abandon his homeland.
I understand now. The chaotic energy here comes from the planet’s core, just like a mother’s love for her children. As a life form born from this planet, it’s natural for Zixian to feel a sense of belonging and focus more on this world.
Shui Miao even thought of Hongjun Daoren.
Perhaps Hongjun was also a puppet left behind by some powerful being, torn between two planets.
Thinking of that emotion, Shui Miao sighed and said to Zixian, “You and I are the same. You were born from the chaotic energy here, and I’m glad about that. Now, listen to me one last time—stay here, take care of yourself, and don’t think about things that should be my burden. This is your home. I’ll handle my own matters. I just want you to live well and not worry me. Also, you must grow stronger—faster. I came here using a talisman from Nuwa, so others might come here too. The universe is vast and mysterious. To achieve immortality, we must keep growing stronger.”
Looking at Zixian, Shui Miao suddenly felt like he was looking at his own child, a bittersweet feeling rising in his heart.
“I understand. I’ll strive to become stronger, because I am you.” Zixian had his own plans before, but after hearing Shui Miao’s words, his heart opened. He suddenly found his life’s direction—becoming stronger. “Oh, and one more thing—I’d like to see the return talisman, if I may?”
“Of course. It’s your right…”
Shui Miao immediately took out the return talisman. Zixian examined it carefully and memorized its essence.
“My Original Self, I’m leaving now. I must go further to train. I’m smart, and I have great luck. Please don’t worry about me.” Zixian bowed deeply to Shui Miao and vanished in a flash.
“…”
Zixian was gone. Shui Miao lowered his head, looking at the talisman in his hand…
Suddenly, a thought struck him!
The dragon returned because this area was its territory. Earlier, its roar was an attempt to use the black dragon to kill the intruders, but the outcome was clearly beyond its expectations. Upon returning and seeing the Heavenly Punishment Dharma Lord, the dragon was enraged. In its eyes, the Heavenly Punishment Dharma Lord was merely a small prey.
The Heavenly Punishment Dharma Lord was also shocked to see the dragon. He had never encountered such a massive dragon before, and it was truly terrifying.
The dragon’s speed was too fast for the Heavenly Punishment Dharma Lord to avoid, so he had no choice but to engage in battle.
The dragon bit him and flung him away with great force…
Not far away, the Water Sky Goddess, who was absorbing water elemental spiritual energy for cultivation, quickly sent her avatar to launch a water-based attack on the dragon. However, the dragon, having grown up in water, was not afraid of it. It countered with a powerful tail swipe aimed at the Water Sky Goddess’s puppet. Fortunately, the puppet’s body was light enough to dodge the dragon’s attack with a graceful leap.
Unfortunately, the Water Sky Goddess’s puppet could only use water-based magical attacks, which couldn’t harm the dragon in the slightest.
The dragon then charged towards the Heavenly Punishment Dharma Lord again.
The Heavenly Punishment Dharma Lord was thrown with such force that he crashed into a mountain, collapsing half of it. Surprisingly, he was unharmed, which both shocked and delighted him. Realizing the strength of his body, the Heavenly Punishment Dharma Lord flapped his wings and charged back at the dragon.
Seeing that the Heavenly Punishment Dharma Lord was still alive, the dragon became even more furious. Its whiskers trembled, revealing its sharp teeth as it bit down hard on the Heavenly Punishment Dharma Lord. Unable to dodge due to his heavy body, the Heavenly Punishment Dharma Lord was caught in the dragon’s jaws. However, he managed to force the dragon’s mouth open and slammed his head against one of its teeth, knocking it out.
The Heavenly Punishment Dharma Lord was a powerful Immortal Emperor. After his resurrection, he connected with the realm of consciousness, and a vast amount of imperial energy transformed his body, making him incredibly strong.
The dragon writhed in pain, thrashing its head wildly in an attempt to throw off the Heavenly Punishment Dharma Lord. But the Heavenly Punishment Dharma Lord only grew more ferocious. He began pulling out the dragon’s teeth, and after a while, he wasn’t satisfied and decided to tear into the dragon’s belly. Soon, the dragon was in so much pain that it crashed into a giant rock, sending debris flying everywhere.
“Dragon, do you submit? If you do, nod your head, and I’ll ask the Heavenly Punishment Dharma Lord to spare you. If not, you’re doomed.”
The dragon, after all, was innocent. Shui Miao, moved by compassion, flew in front of the dragon and spoke loudly, hoping to tame it and remind the Heavenly Punishment Dharma Lord inside its belly to show mercy.
“Roar!”
The dragon let out a weak roar and nodded its head.
Seeing this, Shui Miao quickly sent a mental message to the Heavenly Punishment Dharma Lord, “Heavenly Punishment Dharma Lord, killing this dragon serves no purpose. If you like it, take it as a mount. If not, let it go.”
“Good! I’m not used to flying, so I’ll take it as a mount.”
The Heavenly Punishment Dharma Lord immediately emerged from the dragon’s mouth, completely unharmed.
The dragon’s internal organs were severely damaged, and it was on the brink of death.
The Heavenly Punishment Dharma Lord, aware of the dragon’s injuries, quickly used his magic to heal it.
It turned out that although the creatures in this world were massive, they didn’t know how to use complex magic and relied solely on brute force.
The dragon, sensing the power of the magic, became fearful and gave up any thought of resistance.
“Shui Miao, my avatar is too weak. It can only spit water. How is that acceptable?” The Water Sky Goddess hurried over, frustrated with her puppet’s inadequacy.
Shui Miao smiled faintly, “Don’t worry. I’ll forge a magical artifact for you later, allowing your puppet to spit frost and freeze enemies solid.”
“Great! That’s a fantastic idea. Haha, I’ll continue my cultivation.”
The Water Sky Goddess had changed a lot during her time with Shui Miao, acting more like a young girl.
Shui Miao returned to the mountain peak and helped Tianyi Dejun and Wenchang Emperor create two divine beasts. Tianyi Dejun’s Qilin divine beast was primarily earth-based, with a massive body capable of moving mountains and controlling rocks. Its earth attribute meant it would excel in earth-based magic.
Wenchang Emperor’s Azure Dragon was primarily water and wood-based, with a dragon pearl in its mouth that contained fire and yin-yang energy. The dragon pearl could summon lightning. Although its magic was average, the Azure Dragon was highly intelligent and destined to master wood and thunder-based magic.
After helping everyone create their desired puppets, Shui Miao moved Chong Yuanzi, who had been severely injured and was recuperating on the consciousness planet, out. Chong Yuanzi, the God of Thunder Punishment, was straightforward in nature, so Shui Miao forged a giant Thunderbird divine beast for him. The Thunderbird, with its yang-based energy, was skilled in various thunder spells, making it perfect for Chong Yuanzi.
Subsequently, Shui Miao and the others explored the area within a radius of several hundred miles, centered around the giant peak.
The terrain was filled with mountains, rivers, and lakes, with chaotic energy everywhere. Apart from some large bird monsters, the area was dominated by massive dragons—some were flood dragons, others black dragons, and some white dragons. Their common trait was their enormous size, but they lacked the knowledge to use magic.
The area beyond a hundred miles was filled with water vapor and had very little earth-based spiritual energy. Shui Miao considered it a sea.
This was a paradise for dragons, with thousands of them scattered throughout.
However, after a few days of forceful taming by Shui Miao and the others, most of the dragons fled or dispersed. The few dozen that remained all became disciples of Wenchang Emperor, learning the ways of cultivation.
Whether they were flood dragons, white dragons, or black dragons, these dragons had deep reserves of magical energy but lacked the knowledge to cultivate it.
Under Wenchang Emperor’s careful guidance, the dragons transformed into human forms, learned to speak, and were taught the etiquette of human behavior.
Shui Miao named this area Dragon Island.
※※※
Four days later, at the mountain peak, Shui Miao was speaking with the angel puppet he had created.
His body had doubled in size, and it glowed with a golden light, clearly having absorbed a significant amount of chaotic energy.
He was filled with joy and had brought back a gift—a massive green stone.
He named himself Zi Xian.
The name was simple and fitting, as Shui Miao had indeed used a large amount of purple fortune energy when creating him.
As it turned out, Zi Xian’s luck was excellent. In just three days, he ventured deep underground and found the world’s wood elemental stone, forged the Tower of Time, created several magical artifacts, and cultivated for three days, greatly enhancing his strength and reaching the level of an Immortal Emperor.
After learning about Zi Xian’s experiences, Shui Miao asked, “Zi Xian, have you found Xuan Kong’er?”
“I tracked his aura. It seems he left Dragon Island and headed east.”
Zi Xian pointed towards where the sun rose each day.
This planet also had a sun, though it was hazy and not very clear. However, with careful observation, one could still distinguish the cardinal directions.
After a pause, Zi Xian asked Shui Miao, “What are your plans for the future?”
“I’d like to hear your opinion,” Shui Miao immediately countered.
Shui Miao was curious about how the personality of this life form, created from chaotic energy without his refinement, would evolve.
Zi Xian thought for a moment and said, “I tried going deep into the planet’s core, but the chaotic energy was too dense, and I couldn’t proceed. That’s why my color changed. I think solving the problems of the three realms isn’t that difficult. This world must have primordial energy, and within three years, we should be able to find it and cultivate a post-celestial body. So, we don’t need to travel the entire planet. There are more beneficial things we can do, like reshaping this place into a new three realms and settling here. Wouldn’t that be better?”
Indeed, there was a change. Staying here and ignoring the three realms was not in Shui Miao’s nature.

I understand now. The chaotic energy here is emitted from the planet’s core. The planet is like a mother, with a special affection for the life it nurtures. As a life form born from this planet, it’s natural for Zi Xian to reciprocate this affection. His personality has shifted, focusing more on this planet, which is understandable.
Shui Miao even thought of Hongjun Daoren.
Hongjun Daoren might also be a puppet left by some powerful being, torn between two planets.
Thinking of this sentiment, Shui Miao sighed and said to Zi Xian, “You and I are the same. You were born from the chaotic energy here, and that’s something I find comforting. Now, listen to me once more. Stay here, take care of yourself, and don’t worry about the things I need to consider. This is your home. I’ll handle my own affairs.

Looking at Zi Xian, Shui Miao suddenly felt as if he were looking at his own child, with a faint sense of melancholy in his heart.
“I understand. I’ll work hard because I am you,” Zi Xian originally had his own plans, but after hearing Shui Miao’s words, he felt enlightened and found his life’s purpose—to become stronger. “By the way, I have one more request. Can I see the talisman that takes you back?”

If this place is so good, and Nuwa can create life, why didn’t she create humans here instead of going to the spiritually barren three realms? Could it be that this world has some massive problem? Right, Nuwa also wanted to give me the primordial treasure, which means this world must be more complicated. There must be something terrifying and dangerous here! That means Xuan Kong’er and Zi Xian might both be in danger!”
“I must go and help them…”
After a moment of contemplation, Shui Miao gathered everyone and chased after Zi Xian in the direction he had disappeared.
“No, I must go help them…”
After a moment of thought, Shui Miao immediately gathered everyone and rushed in the direction Zixian had vanished.
