Deep within the valley, a magnificent palace lay hidden.
Meng San’niang hosted a banquet for her guests. Meng Mo Baobao, having received the inherited memories, finally understood his own identity and began addressing Shui Miao as “older brother.”
After the celebration, Meng San’niang led everyone into a secret chamber for discussion.
Once Bu Yi explained their intentions, Meng San’niang immediately offered the dwarves refuge within the Wanghun Valley until after the celestial war between immortals and gods had ended and the three realms stabilized, after which they could leave at their leisure.
Shui Miao had already obtained the Dream Demon Cultivation Technique from Meng Mo Baobao and was now multitasking, gradually cultivating its power.
Nestled within the valley stood a magnificent palace.
Meng Sanniang hosted a banquet for her guests. Thanks to inheriting ancestral memories, the Dream Demon Baby finally understood his own identity and began addressing Shui Miao as “brother.”
After the celebrations, Meng Sanniang led everyone to a secret chamber for discussions.
Upon hearing Bu Yi’s purpose for visiting, Meng Sanniang immediately suggested that the Dwarf Clan could stay in Soul-Forgetting Valley for the time being. They could wait until the Great Immortal-Deity War concluded and order was restored across the Three Realms before deciding whether to leave.
Shui Miao had just obtained the Dream Demon Heart Technique from the Dream Demon Baby and was already multitasking, slowly cultivating it.
As for the Great Immortal-Deity War, Shui Miao had little interest. His sole desire was to swiftly kill Tai Chang Zhenren to exact revenge.
In fact, given Shui Miao’s current strength, he was fully capable of confronting Tai Chang Zhenren openly in a fair fight.
Noticing Shui Miao’s silence, Bu Yi asked with concern, “Shui Miao, what’s on your mind?”
“Nothing much,” Shui Miao replied, his mind racing. “I just infused dream soul energy into the grand formation of the Tianyuan Ring and am sensing Luo Tong’s original spirit thoughts.” He marveled at the mystique of the Dream Demon Heart Technique—even though he had just begun cultivating it, the numerous treants on his conceptual planet had already started dreaming.
Seeing Shui Miao’s dedication to cultivation, Meng Sanniang advised, “Shui Miao, the Dream Demon Heart Technique is both difficult and easy to cultivate. The most direct method is to capture numerous ghosts, place them in magical artifacts, and wait for them to fall asleep and dream. They will naturally emit dream soul energy. By absorbing this energy, you can grow rapidly. The countless treants on your conceptual planet, once they learn to dream, will bring you endless benefits.”
“In fact, they’ve already learned,” Shui Miao thought to himself as he began gathering dream soul energy and channeling it into his body. He could feel his spiritual power growing stronger.
“I see! So the Dream Demon Heart Technique is also for cultivating spiritual power, but this type of spiritual power is somewhat mysterious. Still, it’s highly effective, making my spiritual power more resilient and unbreakable.” Excited by the growth in his spiritual power, Shui Miao’s mood lifted.
Meng Sanniang smiled faintly and shook her head. “Shui Miao, you only grasp part of the truth. These two types of spiritual power are different. Dream soul energy is extremely yin and soft, to the point of being imperceptible even to gods and ghosts. It can silently infiltrate others’ thoughts and steal any memory. The reason you feel your spiritual power strengthening is that you lack yin-soft spiritual power. Even a slight increase feels magnified to you, but it’s actually an illusion. Moreover, the Dream Demon Heart Technique is of little use to immortals, as they cultivate heavenly souls, which are purely yang and inherently conflict with this technique.”
“…”
Shui Miao felt slightly disappointed. If that were the case, what was the point of cultivating the Dream Demon Heart Technique? He immediately stopped his cultivation.
Sensing Shui Miao’s thoughts, Meng Sanniang continued, “Actually, if you want revenge, you can achieve it by skillfully using formations. It’s best to avoid using the Soul-Devouring Power if possible.”
Meng Sanniang was the second, after the spirit of the Immortal Spirit Mirror, to caution Shui Miao against overusing the Soul-Devouring Power.
“Why? Have you also sensed something wrong with it?” Shui Miao asked urgently.
“The Soul-Devouring Power is too sinister, especially since it was taught to you by the Spirit Commander. That in itself is suspicious,” Meng Sanniang said gravely. “Moreover, you don’t fully understand this power yourself. It can devour everything. Just imagine, if one day it slips out of your control, couldn’t it devour you as well?”
“This…”
Shui Miao was taken aback. Indeed, he had always felt uncertain about the Soul-Devouring Power.
“Shui Miao, I’ve been meaning to say this too…” Bu Yi stood up, his expression troubled. “During the last Great Immortal-Deity War, I encountered a strange man who suddenly self-destructed. I’ve always wondered why. Now I suspect he might have also cultivated the Soul-Devouring Power. Perhaps he lost control of it, and it began to backlash against him. In a desperate situation, he chose to self-destruct.”
“I’ll definitely give this some serious thought.”
Though Shui Miao’s mind raced, he was somewhat reluctant to believe this. He felt that everything ultimately depended on his control, much like a razor-sharp blade that could be used to kill or to commit suicide. The key lay in his mindset, not in the inherent evil of the blade itself.
Seeing Shui Miao’s response, Bu Yi changed the subject. “Shui Miao, there’s one more thing I must remind you about. Tai Chang Zhenren is merely someone else’s watchdog. His master is Hua Tianxiong. If you target Hua Tianxiong, you’ll be opposing his father, the master of the Jade Void Hua Mansion, who is an Immortal Venerate-level expert and a proud disciple of the Jade Void’s founder, the Great Void Immortal Emperor!”
Bu Yi revealed a web of connections in one breath.
Shui Miao frowned. “Wasn’t Hua Tianxiong swallowed by the Raksha Evil Dragon? If so, isn’t Tai Chang Zhenren my only opponent?”
Exasperated by Shui Miao’s lack of understanding, Bu Yi grew anxious. “Ah! Even if he was swallowed, he can be reborn in the Immortal Realm! He must have left a life jade talisman there. At most, he’ll be weaker. If you kill Tai Chang Zhenren, he’ll still come after you.”
“I see…”
Shui Miao stroked his chin, thinking there were many ways to kill someone. If they were weakened, it would be the perfect opportunity to strike covertly.
Shui Miao had plenty of cunning ideas. With enough effort, he was confident he could eliminate Hua Tianxiong.
To advance his own plans, Bu Yi steered the conversation elsewhere. “What I mean is, before the Great Immortal-Deity War begins, we should make as many allies as possible without revealing our goals. Once the war starts, we can take advantage of the chaos to exact revenge. No one will have time to deal with you then, and we can fish in troubled waters!”
“Bu Yi, this doesn’t sound like you. By doing this, aren’t you leading the Dwarf Clan to ruin?”
Meng Sanniang suddenly spoke up. Knowing Bu Yi’s character well, she was surprised to see him advocating for opportunistic chaos.
The Great Immortal-Deity War was complex and chaotic. Meng Sanniang’s blunt reminder stemmed from her concern for Bu Yi.
Bu Yi shook his head. “It’s not that I want to lead my people into war, but they are pressing us step by step, encroaching further and trying to swallow the Dwarf Clan. We must fight war with war, making them too afraid to covet our clan ever again. Only then can we ensure lasting peace!”
Bu Yi’s mind was made up. The Ascension Immortal Venerate was already making moves. If he didn’t act now, he might never get another chance.
“That’s simply impossible!”
Meng Sanniang retorted, “Once you step forward, the immortals and deities will never let you go. Even if you temporarily suppress them, what then? Can you guarantee the Dwarf Clan will always have strong guardians and remain invincible? Obviously not. Bu Yi, I advise you to show weakness instead. Auction off powerful magical artifacts at low prices to demonstrate the Dwarf Clan’s desire to stay out of the Great Immortal-Deity War. Only then can you ensure self-preservation.”
“Enough, Sanniang. There’s no need to persuade me further. Our Dwarf Clan has endured enough,” Bu Yi said resolutely, shaking his head. “Shui Miao has promised to help our clan with three tasks. I don’t ask for much—just that he helps us set up three extraordinary formations and forge three supreme magical artifacts. With three supreme artifacts, and if I forge one more myself, five supreme artifacts will protect the Dwarf Clan. Even if ancient venerable saints emerge, we won’t fear them.”
Hearing this, Shui Miao felt a surge of inspiration. “Brother Bu Yi, rest assured. I will do my utmost to set up three extraordinary formations and find a way to make the five supreme artifacts interconnect and complement each other, creating boundless power that no one can breach.”
“Excellent! Thank you, brother!”
Bu Yi was deeply moved by these words.
Bu Fa was also excited. If they could forge five interconnected supreme artifacts, they would truly be invincible.
Seeing Shui Miao’s determination and knowing he possessed the Time Tower, Meng Sanniang also believed he could indeed set up three astonishing formations.
Unable to resist, she felt tempted herself. “In that case, I’ll accompany you to the Immortal Realm. I can lend you a hand, however small.”
“Great! Wonderful!”
“This is truly fantastic!”
Both Bu Yi and Bu Fa were thrilled.
Shui Miao suddenly spoke up, “I think we must quickly create an incredibly powerful artifact and then head to the Luo Sha Sea to find the evil dragon. We should see if we can capture Hua Tianxiong and extract some clues from him. Moreover, the Millennium Female Ghost holds the Illusion Demon Mirror. If we obtain it and I comprehend the essence of its formations, my understanding of formations will undoubtedly reach new heights.”
The mention of the Illusion Demon Mirror ignited a fervor in Meng Sanniang’s veins. “The Illusion Demon Mirror is a cherished relic of our Demon Realm. Countless ages ago, the Dream Demon Ancestor toiled tirelessly to craft it. With its power, he ascended to the Third Heaven of the Immortal Realm, where all immortals beneath that realm were ensnared by its illusions. Yet, the Buddha ultimately shattered it with a single golden finger. Unable to endure the relentless pursuit of the immortals, the Dream Demon Ancestor chose to self-destruct. This marked a catastrophic defeat for our Dream Demon Clan and a daring endeavor to conquer the Immortal Realm. Shui Miao, if you can grasp the essence of the Illusion Demon Mirror and reforge it, our Illusion Demon Clan will forever revere you as our Sacred Ancestor. We will wholeheartedly follow your every command.”
“Shui Miao, this is the supreme magical artifact, the Heavenly Dipper Four Phases Formation, which I spent two thousand years painstakingly forging. It consumed 100,000 immortal artifacts from our Dwarf Clan and possesses boundless power. Take it and study it carefully. See if any modifications are needed, and we’ll improve it to enhance its power.” Bu Yi took a two-meter-wide jade disc from his spatial ring and handed it to Shui Miao.
“Bu Yi, you… you actually forged the Heavenly Dipper Four Phases Formation? No wonder… no wonder you dare to cause trouble in the Immortal Realm!!”
At this moment, Meng Sanniang was astounded. Only the wealthy Dwarf Clan could afford to create an artifact using 100,000 immortal artifacts.
The dark horse of the Dwarf Clan was finally making its move.
This Great Immortal-Deity War was destined to be fraught with undercurrents, bloodshed, and storms.
“Brother, let me enter your ring. I’ll use the Time Tower to delve into formations. Once you find the evil dragon and discover Hua Tianxiong, call me out!” Shui Miao’s heart swelled with excitement. The situation was now ripe for action—all they needed was the east wind. With enough effort, even the most unimaginable feats were within reach.
Nestled within the valley stood a magnificent palace.
Meng Sanniang hosted a banquet for her guests. Thanks to inheriting ancestral memories, the Dream Demon Baby finally understood his own identity and began addressing Shui Miao as “brother.”
After the celebrations, Meng Sanniang led everyone to a secret chamber for discussions.

“Nothing much,” Shui Miao replied, his thoughts racing. “I’ve just infused Dream Soul power into the grand formation within the Tianyuan Ring and am sensing what Luo Tong’s primordial spirit is thinking.” He marveled at the Dream Demon Heart Technique’s wonders—even though he had just begun cultivating it, the tree beings on his conceptual planet had already started dreaming.
Seeing Shui Miao’s dedication to cultivation, Meng Sanniang advised, “Shui Miao, the Dream Demon Heart Technique is both difficult and easy to master. The most direct method is to capture numerous souls, place them in a magical artifact, and wait for them to fall asleep and dream. They will naturally emit Dream Soul power.

Hearing this, Shui Miao felt inspired. “Brother Bu Yi, rest assured. I will do my utmost to set up three extraordinary formations and find a way to interlink the five supreme artifacts, making their power boundless and impregnable.”
“Excellent! Thank you, brother!”
Bu Yi was deeply moved by these words.
Bu Fa was also excited. If they could create five interlinked supreme artifacts, they would truly be invincible.
Hearing Shui Miao’s commitment and knowing he possessed the Time Pagoda, Meng Sanniang believed Shui Miao could indeed set up three astonishing formations.

The situation was now ripe—all that was needed was the east wind. With enough effort, even the most unimaginable feats were within reach.
Seeing Shui Miao remain silent, Bu Yi became curious and asked, “Shui Miao, what are you thinking about?”

Shui Miao was taken aback. Indeed, he himself felt uncertain about Soul-Devouring Power.
“Shui Miao, I’ve been meaning to say this too…” Bu Yi stood up with a heavy heart. “During the last Great Immortal-Deity War, I encountered a strange man who suddenly self-destructed. I’ve always been puzzled by this, and now I suspect he might have also cultivated Soul-Devouring Power. Perhaps he realized it was becoming uncontrollable and turning against him.

Upon hearing Bu Yi’s purpose for visiting, Meng Sanniang immediately suggested that the Dwarf Clan could stay in Soulforget Valley for the time being. They could wait until the Great Immortal-Deity War concluded and order was restored across the Three Realms before leaving.
Shui Miao had just obtained the Dream Demon Heart Technique from the Dream Demon Baby and was now multitasking, gradually cultivating it.
As for the Great Immortal-Deity War, Shui Miao had little interest. His sole desire was to swiftly kill Tai Chang Zhenren to exact revenge.
In fact, given Shui Miao’s current strength, he was fully capable of confronting Tai Chang Zhenren openly in a fair duel.
Noticing Shui Miao’s silence, Bu Yi asked with concern, “Shui Miao, what’s on your mind?”
“Nothing much,” Shui Miao replied, his thoughts racing. “I just infused Dream Soul power into the grand formation within the Tianyuan Ring and am sensing Luo Tong’s primordial spirit to understand his thoughts.” He marveled at the Dream Demon Heart Technique’s wonders—even though he had just begun cultivating it, the numerous Treants on his Planet of Ideation had already started dreaming.
Seeing Shui Miao’s diligence in cultivation, Meng Sanniang advised, “Shui Miao, the Dream Demon Heart Technique is both difficult and easy to master. The best and most direct method is to capture numerous ghosts and imprison them within magical artifacts. When they fall asleep and dream, they naturally emit Dream Soul power. By absorbing this energy, you can grow rapidly. Your Planet of Ideation is home to countless Treants; once they learn to dream, they will bring you endless benefits.”
“In fact, they’ve already learned,” Shui Miao thought to himself as he began gathering Dream Soul power and channeling it into his body. He felt his spiritual power growing increasingly formidable.
“I see! So the Dream Demon Heart Technique is also for cultivating spiritual power, albeit a mysterious kind. But it’s truly effective, making my spiritual power more resilient and unbreakable.” Excited by the enhancement, Shui Miao’s mood lifted.
Meng Sanniang smiled faintly and shook her head gently. “Shui Miao, you only grasp part of the truth. These two types of spiritual power are different. Dream Soul power is extremely Yin and soft, to the point of being imperceptible even to gods and ghosts. It can silently infiltrate others’ minds and steal any memory. The reason you feel your spiritual power strengthening is because you lack Yin-soft spiritual power; even a slight enhancement feels magnified. In reality, it’s an illusion. Moreover, the Dream Demon Heart Technique isn’t very useful against immortals, as they primarily cultivate Heavenly Souls, which are purely Yang and inherently oppose the Dream Demon Heart Technique.”
“…”
Shui Miao felt slightly disappointed. If that were the case, what was the point of cultivating the Dream Demon Heart Technique?
He immediately ceased his cultivation.
Sensing Shui Miao’s thoughts, Meng Sanniang continued, “Actually, if you want revenge, you can achieve it by skillfully utilizing formations. It’s best to avoid using the Devouring Spirit power if possible.”
Meng Sanniang was the second, after the artifact spirit of the Immortal Spirit Mirror, to advise Shui Miao against overusing the Devouring Spirit power.
“Why? Have you also sensed something wrong with the Devouring Spirit power?” Shui Miao quickly asked.
“This Devouring Spirit power is too sinister, especially since it was taught to you by the Spirit Commander. That in itself is problematic,” Meng Sanniang said with a grave expression. “Moreover, you don’t fully understand this power yourself. It can devour everything. Just imagine—if one day it becomes uncontrollable, couldn’t it devour you as well?”
“This…”
Shui Miao was taken aback. Indeed, he felt uncertain about the Devouring Spirit power.
“Shui Miao, I’ve been meaning to share this with you as well…” Bu Yi rose to his feet, burdened by deep concerns. “During the last Great Immortal-Deity War, I encountered a peculiar man who abruptly self-destructed. This incident has always left me perplexed, and now I suspect that man might have also cultivated the Devouring Spirit power. Perhaps he realized it was spiraling out of control and beginning to backlash against him. In a moment of desperation, he chose to self-destruct.”
“I’ll definitely give this careful thought.”
Though Shui Miao’s mind raced, he was somewhat reluctant to believe this. He felt that everything ultimately depended on his own control—like a razor-sharp blade that could be used to kill or to commit suicide. The key lay in his mindset, not in the inherent evil of the blade itself.
Seeing Shui Miao’s response, Bu Yi changed the subject. “Shui Miao, there’s one more thing I must remind you about. Tai Chang Zhenren is merely someone else’s watchdog. His master is Hua Tianxiong. If you target Hua Tianxiong, you’ll be opposing his father, who is a powerful Immortal Venerable and a proud disciple of the Taixu Immortal Emperor, founder of the Jade Void!”
Bu Yi revealed a web of connections in one breath.
Shui Miao frowned. “Wasn’t Hua Tianxiong swallowed by the Raksha Evil Dragon? If so, then my only opponent should be Tai Chang Zhenren, right?”
Seeing Shui Miao’s lack of understanding, Bu Yi grew anxious. “Ah! Even if he was swallowed, he can be reborn in the Immortal Realm! He must have left a Life Jade Talisman there. At most, he’ll be weaker. If you kill Tai Chang Zhenren, he’ll still come after you.”
“I see…”
Shui Miao stroked his chin, thinking that there were many ways to kill. If they were weakened, it would be the perfect opportunity to strike covertly.
Shui Miao had plenty of cunning ideas; with enough effort, he was confident he could eliminate Hua Tianxiong.
To advance his own plans, Bu Yi steered the conversation elsewhere. “What I mean is, before the Great Immortal-Deity War begins, we should make as many allies as possible without revealing our goals. Once the war starts, we can take advantage of the chaos to exact revenge. No one will have time to deal with you then, and we can fish in troubled waters!”
“Bu Yi, this doesn’t sound like you. By doing this, you might lead the Dwarf Clan to utter ruin!”
Meng Sanniang interjected suddenly.
Knowing Bu Yi’s character well, she was surprised to see him changed—now he wanted to fish in troubled waters!
The Great Immortal-Deity War was complex and chaotic. Meng Sanniang’s blunt reminder stemmed from her concern for Bu Yi.
Bu Yi shook his head. “It’s not that I wish to lead my clan into conflict, but they are advancing relentlessly, encroaching further and attempting to annex us Dwarves. We must use war to curb war, instilling such fear in them that they dare not covet our clan. Only then can we permanently eliminate future threats!”
Bu Yi’s mind was made up. The Ascension Immortal Venerable was already making moves; if he didn’t act now, he might never get another chance.
“That’s simply impossible!”
Meng Sanniang retorted, “Once you step forward, the immortals and deities will never let you go. Even if you temporarily suppress them, what then? Can you guarantee that the Dwarf Clan will always have powerful guardians and remain invincible forever? Obviously not. Bu Yi, I advise you to show weakness instead—auction off powerful artifacts at low prices to demonstrate the Dwarf Clan’s reluctance to get involved in the Great Immortal-Deity War. Only then can you ensure self-preservation!”
“Enough, Sanniang. There’s no need to persuade me further. Our Dwarf Clan has endured enough,” Bu Yi said resolutely, shaking his head. “Shui Miao has promised to help our clan with three tasks. I don’t ask for much—just that he helps us set up three extraordinary formations and forge three Supreme Artifacts. With three Supreme Artifacts, and if I forge one more myself, five Supreme Artifacts will protect the Dwarf Clan. Even if ancient venerable saints emerge, we won’t fear them.”
Hearing this, Shui Miao felt inspired. “Brother Bu Yi, rest assured. I will spare no effort in setting up three extraordinary formations and then find a way to interlink the five Supreme Artifacts, making their power boundless and impregnable.”
“Excellent! Thank you, brother!”
Bu Yi was deeply gratified by these words.
Bu Fa was also excited—if they could create five interlinked Supreme Artifacts, they would truly be invincible.
Seeing Shui Miao’s confidence and knowing he possessed the Time Pagoda, Meng Sanniang also believed that Shui Miao could indeed set up three astonishing formations.
She couldn’t help but feel tempted. “In that case, I’ll accompany you to the Immortal Realm. I can lend you a hand, however small.”
“Great! Wonderful!”
Both Bu Yi and Bu Fa were thrilled.
Shui Miao suddenly spoke up, “I think we must quickly create an incredibly powerful artifact and then hurry to the Rosha seabed to find the Evil Dragon. We should see if we can capture Hua Tianxiong and obtain some clues from him. Moreover, the Millennium Female Ghost possesses the Illusion Demon Mirror. If we acquire it and I comprehend the essence of its formations, it will undoubtedly elevate my understanding of formations to new heights.”
Mentioning the Illusion Demon Mirror stirred Meng Sanniang’s blood. “The Illusion Demon Mirror is a treasure of our Demon Realm. Eons ago, the Dream Demon Ancestor painstakingly forged it. He used it to battle all the way to the Third Heaven of the Immortal Realm, bewildering all immortals below with illusions. However, he was ultimately defeated by a single golden finger from the Buddha. Unable to withstand the pursuit of the immortals, the Dream Demon Ancestor self-destructed. This was a devastating defeat for our Dream Demon Clan and a bold attempt to conquer the Immortal Realm. Shui Miao, if you can comprehend the essence of the Illusion Demon Mirror and reforge it, our Illusion Demon Clan will forever honor you as our Sacred Ancestor. We will willingly follow your command in all matters.”
“Shui Miao, this is the Supreme Artifact ‘Celestial Dipper Four Phenomena Formation,’ which I spent two thousand years painstakingly forging. It consumed 100,000 immortal artifacts from our Dwarf Clan and possesses boundless power. Take it and study it carefully. See if any modifications are needed, and we’ll enhance its power together.” Bu Yi retrieved a two-meter-wide jade disc from his spatial ring and handed it to Shui Miao.
“Bu Yi, you… you actually forged the Celestial Dipper Four Phenomena Formation? No wonder… no wonder you dare to cause trouble in the Immortal Realm!!”
At this moment, Meng Sanniang was astounded. Only the wealthy Dwarf Clan could accomplish such a feat—forging an artifact with 100,000 immortal artifacts.
The dark horse that was the Dwarf Clan was finally about to make its move.
This Great Immortal-Deity War was destined to be fraught with undercurrents, bloodshed, and turmoil!
“Brother, let me enter your ring. I’ll use the Time Pagoda to dedicatedly study formations. Summon me once you find the Evil Dragon and discover Hua Tianxiong!” Shui Miao’s heart swelled with excitement. The situation was now ripe—everything was in place except for the east wind. With enough effort, even the most unimaginable feats became possible.
“In fact, they already have.”
Nestled within the valley stood a magnificent palace.
Meng Sanniang hosted a banquet for her guests. Due to inheriting ancestral memories, the Dream Demon Baby finally understood his own identity and began addressing Shui Miao as “brother.”
After the celebrations, Meng Sanniang led everyone to a secret chamber for discussions.
Upon hearing Bu Yi’s purpose for visiting, Meng Sanniang immediately suggested that the Dwarf Clan could settle in the Soul-Forgetting Valley for the time being. They could wait until the Great Immortal-Deity War concluded and order was restored across the Three Realms before considering departure.
Shui Miao had just obtained the Dream Demon Heart Technique from the Dream Demon Baby and was now multitasking, gradually cultivating it.

“Nothing much,” Shui Miao replied, his thoughts racing. “I just infused Dream Soul power into the grand formation within the Tianyuan Ring and am sensing Luo Tong’s divine consciousness.” He quickly realized the marvel of the Dream Demon Heart Technique—even though he had just begun cultivating it, the numerous treants on his conceptual planet had already started dreaming.

“That’s simply impossible!”
Meng Sanniang retorted, “Once you step forward, the immortals and deities will never let you go. Even if you temporarily suppress them, what then?

“Good! Thank you, brother!”
Bu Yi was deeply moved by these words.
Bu Fa was also excited. If they could forge five interconnected supreme artifacts, they would truly be invincible.
Hearing Shui Miao’s commitment and knowing he possessed the Time Tower, Meng Sanniang also believed Shui Miao could indeed set up three astonishing formations.

This Great Immortal-Deity War was destined to be fraught with undercurrents, bloodshed, and turmoil.
“Brother, let me enter your ring. I’ll use the Time Tower to focus on studying formations. Call me out once you find the evil dragon and locate Hua Tianxiong!” Shui Miao was exhilarated. The situation was now ripe for success—all that was needed was his utmost effort. With that, even the most unimaginable feats became possible.
“I see now! The Dream Demon Technique is also a method for cultivating spiritual power. This spiritual energy is somewhat mysterious, yet undeniably effective—it makes my spiritual power increasingly unbreakable and indestructible.” Feeling his spiritual power rise, Shui Miao grew excited.
Nestled within the valley stood a magnificent palace.
Meng Sanniang hosted a banquet to welcome her guests. Thanks to inheriting ancestral memories, the Dream Demon Baby finally understood his own identity and began addressing Shui Miao as “brother.”

“Nothing much,” Shui Miao replied, his thoughts racing. “I just infused Dream Soul power into the grand formation within the Tianyuan Ring and am sensing what Luo Tong’s primordial spirit is thinking.” He quickly realized the Dream Demon Heart Technique was extraordinary—even though he had just begun cultivating it, the numerous treants on his Planet of Ideals had already started dreaming.
Seeing Shui Miao’s dedication to cultivation, Meng Sanniang advised, “Shui Miao, the Dream Demon Heart Technique is both difficult and easy to cultivate. The best and most direct method is to capture numerous souls and place them inside a magical artifact. When they fall asleep and dream, they will naturally emit Dream Soul power. By absorbing that power, you can grow rapidly. Your Planet of Ideals is home to countless treants—once they learn to dream, they will bring you endless benefits.”
“In fact, they’ve already learned,” Shui Miao thought to himself as he began gathering Dream Soul power and channeling it into his body. He could feel his spiritual energy growing increasingly powerful.
“I see! So the Dream Demon Heart Technique is also for cultivating spiritual power, but this type of spiritual power is somewhat mysterious. Still, it’s highly effective, making my spiritual energy more resilient and unbreakable.” Feeling his spiritual energy strengthening, Shui Miao grew excited.
Meng Sanniang smiled faintly and shook her head. “Shui Miao, you only understand part of it. These two types of spiritual energy are different.

“Bu Yi, this doesn’t sound like you. By doing this, aren’t you leading the Dwarf Clan to ruin?”
Meng Sanniang suddenly spoke up. She knew Bu Yi’s character well and was surprised to see him advocating for stirring up chaos.

Bu Fa was also excited. If they could forge five interconnected supreme artifacts, they would truly be invincible.
Seeing Shui Miao’s determination and knowing he possessed the Time Tower, Meng Sanniang also believed Shui Miao could indeed set up three astonishing formations.
Unable to help herself, Meng Sanniang felt tempted. “In that case, I’ll accompany you to the Immortal Realm. I can offer some assistance, however small.”
“Great! Wonderful!”
Bu Yi and Bu Fa were both thrilled.
Shui Miao suddenly spoke up, “I think we must quickly create an incredibly powerful artifact and then head to the Rosha Sea to find the evil dragon.

If we can acquire it and I comprehend the essence of its formations, my understanding of formations will undoubtedly reach new heights.”
The mention of the Illusion Demon Mirror ignited Meng Sanniang’s passion. “The Illusion Demon Mirror is a treasured artifact of our Demon Realm. Millennia ago, the Dream Demon Ancestor painstakingly crafted it. With this mirror, he ascended to the Third Heaven of the Immortal Realm, where all immortals beneath that level were ensnared by illusions. However, the Buddha ultimately shattered it with a single golden finger. Unable to endure the relentless pursuit of the immortals, the Dream Demon Ancestor eventually self-destructed. This marked a catastrophic defeat for our Dream Demon Clan and a bold endeavor to conquer the Immortal Realm. Shui Miao, if you can grasp the essence of the Illusion Demon Mirror and reforge it, our Illusion Demon Clan will forever revere you as our Sacred Ancestor. We will wholeheartedly follow your command in all matters.”

“Bu Yi, you… you actually forged the Heavenly Dipper Four Phases Formation? No wonder you dare to cause trouble in the Immortal Realm!”

The dark horse that was the Dwarf Clan was finally making its move.
This Great Immortal-Deity War was destined to be fraught with undercurrents, bloodshed, and turmoil.
“Brother, let me enter your ring. I’ll use the Time Tower to focus on studying formations. Call me out once you find the evil dragon and discover Hua Tianxiong!” Shui Miao was excited. The situation was now ripe—all that was needed was the east wind. With enough effort, even the most unimaginable feats were possible.
Shui Miao felt a slight disappointment. If that were the case, what use did he have for cultivating the Dream Demon Technique?
Immediately, Shui Miao stopped cultivating.
Sensing Shui Miao’s thoughts, Meng San’niang continued, “Actually, if you want revenge, you can achieve it by skillfully using formations. It would be best to avoid using the Soul Devouring Power.”
Meng San’niang was the second person, after the spirit of the Xianling Mirror, to advise Shui Miao against overusing the Soul Devouring Power.
“Why? Do you also sense something wrong with the Soul Devouring Power?” Shui Miao quickly asked.
“This Soul Devouring Power is too sinister. The fact that it was taught to you by Ling Shuai itself raises questions,” Meng San’niang’s expression turned serious. “Moreover, you don’t fully understand this power yourself. It can devour everything. Imagine, if one day it becomes uncontrollable, wouldn’t it devour you as well?”
Shui Miao was momentarily stunned. Indeed, he had always felt uncertain about this Soul Devouring Power.
“Shui Miao, I’ve wanted to talk about this for a while…” Bu Yi stood up, troubled. “During the last celestial war, I encountered a strange man. Why did he suddenly self-destruct? That has always puzzled me. Now I suspect he might have also cultivated the Soul Devouring Power. Perhaps he realized it was becoming uncontrollable and starting to devour him, so he chose self-destruction to prevent further disaster.”
“I will definitely consider this carefully.”
Shui Miao’s thoughts turned, but he still found it hard to believe. He felt it all depended on his control. Like a sharp knife that could either kill or commit suicide, the main factor was his mindset, not the knife’s inherent nature.
Nestled within the valley stood a magnificent palace.
Meng Sanniang hosted a banquet to welcome her guests. Thanks to inheriting ancestral memories, the Dream Demon Baby finally understood his own identity and began addressing Shui Miao as “brother.”
After the celebrations, Meng Sanniang led everyone to a secret chamber for discussions.
Upon hearing Bu Yi’s purpose for visiting, Meng Sanniang immediately suggested that the Dwarf Clan could settle in the Soul-Forgetting Valley for the time being. They could wait until the Great Immortal-Deity War concluded and order was restored across the Three Realms before considering departure.
Shui Miao had just acquired the Dream Demon Heart Technique from the Dream Demon Baby and was now multitasking, gradually cultivating it.
As for the Great Immortal-Deity War, Shui Miao had little interest. His sole desire was to swiftly exact revenge by killing Tai Chang Zhenren.
In fact, given Shui Miao’s current strength, he was fully capable of confronting Tai Chang Zhenren openly in a fair duel.
Noticing Shui Miao’s silence, Bu Yi asked with concern, “Shui Miao, what’s on your mind?”
“Nothing much,” Shui Miao replied, his thoughts racing. “I’ve just infused Dream Soul power into the grand formation within the Tianyuan Ring and am sensing Luo Tong’s primordial spirit intentions.” He marveled at the mystique of the Dream Demon Heart Technique—even though he had only just begun cultivating it, the numerous Treants on his conceptual planet had already started dreaming.
Observing Shui Miao’s dedication to cultivation, Meng Sanniang advised, “Shui Miao, the Dream Demon Heart Technique is both challenging and straightforward. The most direct method is to capture numerous ghosts, confine them within magical artifacts, and allow them to sleep and dream. They will naturally emit Dream Soul power. By absorbing this energy, you can grow rapidly. With countless Treants on your conceptual planet, once they learn to dream, they will bring you endless benefits.”
“In fact, they’ve already learned,” Shui Miao thought to himself as he began gathering Dream Soul power and channeling it into his body. He could feel his spiritual energy growing increasingly potent.
“I see! So the Dream Demon Heart Technique also cultivates spiritual power, albeit of a mysterious nature. Yet, it’s remarkably effective, making my spiritual energy more resilient and unbreakable.” Excited by this enhancement, Shui Miao’s mood lifted.
Meng Sanniang smiled faintly and shook her head. “Shui Miao, you only grasp part of the truth. These two types of spiritual energy are different. Dream Soul power is supremely Yin and soft—so subtle it can infiltrate others’ thoughts undetected, stealing any memory. The reason you feel your spiritual energy strengthening is because you lack Yin-soft energy. Even a slight increase feels magnified to you, but it’s actually an illusion. Moreover, the Dream Demon Heart Technique has limited use against Immortals, as they primarily cultivate Heavenly Soul energy, which is purely Yang and inherently conflicts with this technique.”
“…”
Shui Miao felt somewhat disappointed. If that were the case, what was the point of cultivating the Dream Demon Heart Technique? He immediately ceased his practice.
Sensing his thoughts, Meng Sanniang continued, “Actually, to exact revenge, you simply need to skillfully employ formations. It’s best to avoid using the Soul-Devouring Power if possible.”
Meng Sanniang was the second, after the artifact spirit of the Immortal Spirit Mirror, to caution Shui Miao against overusing the Soul-Devouring Power.
“Why? Have you also sensed something wrong with it?” Shui Miao asked urgently.
“This Soul-Devouring Power is extremely sinister, especially since it was taught to you by the Spirit Commander. That in itself is suspicious,” Meng Sanniang said gravely. “Moreover, you don’t fully understand this power yourself. It can devour everything. Just imagine—if one day it slips beyond your control, couldn’t it devour you as well?”
“This…”
Shui Miao was taken aback. Indeed, he had always felt uncertain about the Soul-Devouring Power.
“Shui Miao, I’ve been meaning to say this too…” Bu Yi stood up, his expression heavy with concern. “During the last Great Immortal-Deity War, I encountered a strange man who suddenly self-destructed. I’ve always wondered why. Now I suspect he might have also cultivated the Soul-Devouring Power. Perhaps he lost control over it, and it began to backlash against him. In a desperate situation, he chose to self-destruct.”
“I’ll definitely give this careful thought.”
Though Shui Miao’s mind raced, he was reluctant to fully believe this. He felt that everything ultimately depended on his own control—like a razor-sharp blade that could be used to kill or to commit suicide. The key lay in his mindset, not in the inherent evil of the blade itself.
Seeing Shui Miao’s response, Bu Yi changed the subject. “Shui Miao, there’s another thing I must remind you about. Tai Chang Zhenren is merely a watchdog for someone else. His master is Hua Tianxiong. To confront Hua Tianxiong means opposing his father, who is from the Jade Void Hua Mansion—a powerful Immortal Venerable and a proud disciple of the Jade Void’s founder, the Great Void Immortal Emperor!”
Bu Yi revealed a web of connections in one breath.
Shui Miao frowned. “Wasn’t Hua Tianxiong devoured by the Raksha Evil Dragon? If so, my only opponent should be Tai Chang Zhenren, right?”
Exasperated by Shui Miao’s incomprehension, Bu Yi cried out, “Ah! Even if he was devoured, he can be reborn in the Immortal Realm! He must have left a life jade talisman there. At worst, he’ll be weaker. If you kill Tai Chang Zhenren, he will still pursue you.”
“I see…”
Shui Miao stroked his chin, thinking that there were many ways to kill someone. If they were weakened, it would be the perfect opportunity to strike covertly.
Shui Miao had plenty of cunning ideas. With determination, he was confident he could eliminate Hua Tianxiong.
To advance his own plans, Bu Yi steered the conversation elsewhere. “What I mean is, before the Great Immortal-Deity War begins, we should make as many allies as possible without revealing our true intentions. Once the war starts, we can seize the chaos to exact revenge. No one will have time to focus on you then. We can take advantage of the turmoil and fish in troubled waters!”
“Bu Yi, this doesn’t sound like you. By doing this, aren’t you leading the Dwarf Clan into eternal peril?”
Meng Sanniang interjected suddenly. Knowing Bu Yi’s character well, she was surprised to see him changed—now advocating for opportunistic chaos!
The Great Immortal-Deity War was complex and tumultuous. Meng Sanniang’s blunt reminder stemmed from her care for Bu Yi.
Bu Yi shook his head. “It’s not that I want to lead my clan into war, but they are pressing us step by step, encroaching further. They seek to annex the Dwarf Clan. We must fight war with war, making them too afraid to covet our people. Only then can we eliminate future threats forever!”
Bu Yi’s mind was made up. The Ascension Immortal Venerable was already making moves. If he didn’t act now, he might never get another chance.
“That’s simply impossible!”
Meng Sanniang retorted, “Once you step forward, the Immortals and Deities will never let you go. Even if you temporarily suppress them, what then? Can you guarantee the Dwarf Clan will always have powerful guardians and remain invincible? Obviously not. Bu Yi, I urge you to show weakness instead—auction off powerful artifacts at low prices to demonstrate the Dwarf Clan’s desire to stay out of the war. Only then can you ensure self-preservation!”
“Enough, Sanniang. There’s no need to persuade me further. Our Dwarf Clan has endured enough,” Bu Yi said resolutely. “Shui Miao has promised to help our clan with three tasks. I ask for nothing else but his assistance in setting up three extraordinary formations and forging three Supreme Artifacts. With three Supreme Artifacts, and if I forge one more myself, five Supreme Artifacts will protect the Dwarf Clan. Even if ancient venerable saints emerge, we need not fear them.”
Hearing this, Shui Miao felt a stir within. “Brother Bu Yi, rest assured. I will spare no effort in establishing three extraordinary formations and ensuring the five Supreme Artifacts resonate and interconnect, making their power boundless and impregnable.”
“Excellent! Thank you, brother!”
Bu Yi was deeply moved by these words.
Bu Fa was also excited. If they could create five interconnected Supreme Artifacts, they would truly be invincible.
Seeing Shui Miao’s determination and knowing he possessed the Time Tower, Meng Sanniang also believed Shui Miao could indeed set up three astonishing formations.
Involuntarily, she felt tempted. “In that case, I’ll accompany you to the Immortal Realm. However little, I can lend you a hand.”
“Great! Wonderful!”
“This is truly fantastic!”
Both Bu Yi and Bu Fa were thrilled.
Shui Miao suddenly spoke up, “I think we must quickly create an incredibly powerful artifact and then head to the seabed of Luo Sha to find the Evil Dragon. We should see if we can capture Hua Tianxiong and gather clues from him. Moreover, the Millennium Female Ghost possesses the Illusion Demon Mirror. If we obtain it and I comprehend the essence of its formations, it will undoubtedly elevate my understanding of formations to new heights.”
Mention of the Illusion Demon Mirror stirred Meng Sanniang’s blood. “The Illusion Demon Mirror is a supreme treasure of our Demon Realm. Eons ago, the Dream Demon Ancestor painstakingly forged it. With it, he fought all the way to the Third Heaven of the Immortal Realm, bewildering all Immortals below with illusions. However, the Buddha eventually shattered it with a single golden finger. Unable to withstand the pursuit of the Immortals, the Dream Demon Ancestor ultimately self-destructed. This was a devastating defeat for our Dream Demon Clan and a bold attempt to conquer the Immortal Realm. Shui Miao, if you can comprehend the essence of the Illusion Demon Mirror and reforge it, our Illusion Demon Clan will forever honor you as our Sacred Ancestor. We will willingly follow your command in all matters.”
“Shui Miao, this is the Supreme Artifact Heavenly Dipper Four Phases Formation, which I spent two thousand years painstakingly forging. It consumed 100,000 immortal artifacts from our Dwarf Clan and possesses boundless power. Take it and study it carefully. See if any modifications are needed, and we’ll enhance its power together.” Bu Yi retrieved a two-meter-wide jade disc from his spatial ring and handed it to Shui Miao.
“Bu Yi, you… you actually forged the Heavenly Dipper Four Phases Formation? No wonder you dare to cause trouble in the Immortal Realm!!”
At this moment, Meng Sanniang was utterly astonished. Only the resource-abundant Dwarf Clan could achieve such a monumental task—utilizing 100,000 immortal artifacts for a single magical treasure.
The Dwarf Clan, this dark horse, was finally making its move.
This Great Immortal-Deity War was destined to be fraught with undercurrents, bloodshed, and storms!
“Brother, let me enter your ring. I’ll use the Time Tower to delve into formation research. Summon me once you find the Evil Dragon and locate Hua Tianxiong!” Shui Miao’s heart swelled with excitement. The situation was now ripe—all preparations were made, waiting only for the east wind. With enough effort, even the most unimaginable feats became possible.
Bu Yi revealed many connections in one breath.
Nestled within the valley stood a magnificent palace.
Meng Sanniang hosted a banquet for her guests. Thanks to inheriting ancestral memories, the Dream Demon Baby finally understood his own identity and began addressing Shui Miao as “brother.”

Shui Miao had just acquired the Dream Demon Heart Technique from the Dream Demon Baby and was already multitasking, gradually cultivating it.
As for the Great Immortal-Deity War, Shui Miao had little interest. His sole desire was to swiftly exact revenge by killing Taichang Zhenren.
In fact, given Shui Miao’s current strength, he was fully capable of confronting Taichang Zhenren openly in a fair fight.
Noticing Shui Miao’s silence, Bu Yi asked, “Shui Miao, what’s on your mind?”
“Nothing much,” Shui Miao replied, his mind in a whirl. “I just channeled Dream Soul energy into the grand formation inside the Tianyuan Ring and am now attuning to Luo Tong’s primordial spirit thoughts.” He was in awe of the Dream Demon Heart Technique’s marvels—even though he had only just started practicing it, the countless treants on his conceptual planet had already begun to dream.
Observing Shui Miao’s commitment to cultivation, Meng Sanniang offered guidance, “The Dream Demon Heart Technique is complex yet simple in essence. The most effective approach is to capture numerous spirits and confine them within a magical artifact. As they sleep and dream, they naturally release Dream Soul energy. By absorbing this power, you can accelerate your growth. Your意境星球 is teeming with countless treants; once they master the art of dreaming, they will provide you with boundless advantages.”
“In fact, they’ve already learned,” Shui Miao thought to himself as he began gathering Dream Soul power and channeling it into his body. He could feel his spiritual power growing increasingly formidable.
“I see! So the Dream Demon Heart Technique is also for cultivating spiritual power, albeit a mysterious kind. Yet, it’s remarkably effective, making my spiritual power more resilient and unbreakable.” Excited by this progress, Shui Miao’s mood lifted.
Meng Sanniang smiled faintly and shook her head. “Shui Miao, you only grasp part of the truth. These two types of spiritual power are different. Dream Soul power is supremely Yin and soft, to the point of being imperceptible even to gods and ghosts. It can silently infiltrate others’ thoughts and steal any memory. The reason you feel your spiritual power strengthening is because you lack Yin-soft spiritual energy. Even a slight increase feels magnified to you, but it’s actually an illusion. Moreover, the Dream Demon Heart Technique has limited use against immortals, as they cultivate Heavenly Soul energy, which is purely Yang and inherently opposes the Dream Demon Heart Technique.”

I’ve always wondered why. Now, I suspect he might have also cultivated the Soul Devouring power. Perhaps he realized it was slipping out of his control and beginning to反噬 him. In a desperate situation, he chose to self-destruct.”
“I’ll definitely give this some serious thought.”
Though Shui Miao’s mind raced, he was reluctant to believe this entirely. He felt that everything ultimately depended on his control—like a razor-sharp blade that could be used to kill or to commit suicide. The key lay in his mindset, not in the inherent evil of the blade itself.
Seeing Shui Miao’s reaction, Bu Yi changed the subject. “Shui Miao, there’s one more thing I must remind you about. Taichang Zhenren is merely someone else’s watchdog. His master is Hua Tianxiong. If you target Hua Tianxiong, you’ll be opposing his father, the Hua Tianxiong of the Jade Void Hua Mansion—a powerful Immortal Venerable and the proud disciple of the Jade Void’s founder, the Supreme Immortal Emperor!”
Bu Yi laid out these complex connections in one breath.
Shui Miao frowned. “Wasn’t Hua Tianxiong devoured by the Raksha Evil Dragon? If so, then my only opponent should be Taichang Zhenren, right?”

Meng Sanniang interjected suddenly. Knowing Bu Yi’s character well, she was surprised to see him change—now he wanted to fish in troubled waters!
The Great Immortal-Deity War was chaotic and complex. Meng Sanniang’s blunt reminder stemmed from her concern for Bu Yi.
Bu Yi shook his head. “It’s not that I wish to lead my people into conflict, but they are advancing relentlessly, encroaching further and attempting to devour the Dwarf Clan entirely. We must use war to deter war, instilling such fear in them that they dare not covet our clan. Only then can we secure enduring peace!”
Bu Yi’s mind was made up. The Ascension Immortal Venerable was already making moves. If he didn’t act now, he might never get another chance.
“That’s simply impossible!”

Hearing this, Shui Miao felt a surge of inspiration. “Brother Bu Yi, rest assured. I will do my utmost to set up three extraordinary formations and find a way to interlink the five supreme artifacts, making their power boundless and impervious to any attack.”
“Excellent! Thank you, brother!”
Bu Yi was deeply moved by these words.
Bu Fa was also excited. If they could forge five interlinked supreme artifacts, they would truly be invincible.
Hearing Shui Miao’s commitment and knowing he possessed the Time Tower, Meng Sanniang also believed that Shui Miao could indeed set up three astonishing formations.

“I see! So the Dream Demon Heart Technique is also used to cultivate mental power, but this type of mental power is somewhat mysterious. Still, it’s highly effective, making my mental strength more resilient and unbreakable.” Feeling his mental power enhance, Shui Miao grew excited.

“Shui Miao, I’ve been meaning to bring this up as well…” Bu Yi rose to his feet, his expression clouded with concern. “During the last Great Immortal-Deity War, I came across a peculiar man who suddenly self-destructed. I’ve always been puzzled by his actions. Now, I suspect that man might have also been cultivating Soul Devouring power. Perhaps he realized it was slipping beyond his control and starting to反噬 him.

The dark horse of the Dwarf Clan was finally making its move.
This Great Immortal-Deity War was destined to be fraught with undercurrents, bloodshed, and turmoil.
“Brother, let me enter your ring. I’ll use the Time Pagoda to focus on studying formations. Once you find the evil dragon and discover Hua Tianxiong, call me out!” Shui Miao was exhilarated. The situation was now ripe for action—all that was needed was his utmost effort. With that, even the most unimaginable feats could become possible.
“Is that so…”
Shui Miao rubbed his chin, thinking that there were many ways to kill someone. If they were weakened, he could strike secretly.
Shui Miao had many cunning ideas. With enough effort, he was confident he could eliminate Hua Tianxiong.
To achieve his plan, Bu Yi changed the topic. “What I mean is, before the celestial war begins, we should make as many friends as possible and avoid revealing our intentions. Once the celestial war starts, we can take advantage of the chaos to exact our revenge. At that time, no one will have time to deal with you. We can seize the opportunity and benefit from the confusion!”
“Bu Yi, that doesn’t sound like you. Doing so might lead the dwarves into irreversible disaster!”
Meng San’niang suddenly interjected.
Knowing Bu Yi’s character well, Meng San’niang was surprised to find him suggesting such a strategy.
The celestial war was complex and chaotic. Meng San’niang warned Bu Yi bluntly because she cared about him.
Bu Yi shook his head. “It’s not that I want to lead my people into war, but they are pushing us step by step, taking every opportunity to swallow us. We must fight back to stop them from coveting the dwarves, ensuring lasting peace for our people!”
Bu Yi had made up his mind. The Yuhua Immortal Sage was already stirring. If he hesitated any longer, he would lose his chance.
“That’s simply impossible!”
Meng San’niang countered. “Once you stand up, the celestial beings won’t let you go. Even if you can temporarily suppress them, what then? Can you guarantee that the dwarves will always have powerful protectors, remaining invincible forever? Obviously not. Bu Yi, I advise you to show weakness instead. Sell your powerful treasures at low prices to show the dwarves’ disinterest in the celestial war. Only then can you protect yourselves!”
“Enough, San’niang. Don’t try to persuade me anymore. We dwarves have suffered enough.”
Bu Yi shook his head firmly. “Shui Miao promised to help us dwarves with three tasks. I don’t want anything else. I just need him to help set up three extraordinary formations so we can forge three supreme treasures. With three supreme treasures, plus one more I forge myself, five supreme treasures will protect the dwarves. Even ancient sages won’t dare challenge us.”
Hearing this, Shui Miao’s heart stirred. “Don’t worry, Big Brother Bu. I will do my utmost to set up three extraordinary formations and then find a way to connect the five supreme treasures, enhancing their power infinitely. No one will be able to breach our defenses.”
“Great! Thank you, my brother!”
Bu Yi was deeply moved by Shui Miao’s words.
Bu Fa was also excited. If they could forge five interconnected supreme treasures, they would truly become invincible.
Hearing Shui Miao’s words and knowing he had the Time Pagoda, Meng San’niang also believed Shui Miao could indeed create three extraordinary formations.
Unconsciously, Meng San’niang became interested. “How about this? I’ll go with you to the Immortal Realm. I might be able to offer some assistance.”
“That’s great!”
“This is truly wonderful!”
Bu Yi and Bu Fa couldn’t help but feel excited.
Suddenly, Shui Miao spoke up. “I think we must quickly create a powerful magical treasure and then rush to the Luosha Undersea to find the evil dragon, trying to capture Hua Tianxiong and obtaining some clues from him. Also, the Thousand-Year Ghost Girl possesses the Illusion Demon Mirror. If I can obtain it and understand its formation’s essence, it will surely elevate my understanding of formations to a new level.”
Mentioning the Illusion Demon Mirror, Meng San’niang’s heart surged with excitement. “The Illusion Demon Mirror is a supreme treasure of the Demon Realm. A thousand millennia ago, the Ancestor of Dreams painstakingly forged the Illusion Demon Mirror. Using it, the Ancestor once advanced all the way to the Third Heaven of the Immortal Realm, where all immortals below the Third Heaven were deceived by illusions. Later, however, the Buddha broke through the illusions with a single golden ray, and the Ancestor of Dreams, unable to resist the pursuing immortals, exploded and died. This was a great defeat for the Dream Demon Clan and a bold attempt to conquer the Immortal Realm. Shui Miao, if you can understand the essence of the Illusion Demon Mirror and recreate it, our Dream Demon Clan will forever honor you as our Holy Ancestor. Whatever you command, we will gladly obey.”
“Shui Miao, this is the Supreme Treasure, the Tian Dou Four Symbols Formation, which I spent two thousand years forging. This treasure consumed one hundred thousand immortal artifacts of our dwarves and possesses boundless power. Take it and study it carefully. If any modifications are needed, let’s improve it together to enhance its power.” Bu Yi took out a jade disk, two meters in diameter, from his spatial ring and handed it to Shui Miao.
“Bu Yi, you, you actually forged the Tian Dou Four Symbols Formation? No wonder you dared to cause trouble in the Immortal Realm!”
At that moment, Meng San’niang was stunned. A treasure formed by one hundred thousand immortal artifacts—only the wealthy and resourceful dwarves could accomplish such a feat.
The dwarves, the dark horse, were finally ready to strike.
This celestial war between immortals and gods was destined to be filled with hidden dangers and bloodshed!
“Big Brother, let me enter your ring. I will use the Time Pagoda to study formations. When you find the evil dragon and discover Hua Tianxiong, call me out!” Shui Miao’s heart raced with excitement. Now, everything was ready except for the final push. If he worked hard enough, even the unimaginable would become possible.
