Shui Miao, who always enjoyed launching surprise attacks, was ironically ambushed himself due to a moment of carelessness by Hua Yuting.
Facing the overwhelming suppression of the Supreme Treasure, Shui Miao was unable to resist and was directly captured into the Dragon-Capturing Kunyuan Pagoda.
Upon entering the Dragon-Capturing Kunyuan Pagoda, Shui Miao immediately sensed an intensely thick yin and malevolent energy. The irresistible pressure remained, rendering his body completely immobile.
“Hmph! A jester daring to challenge the heavens, overestimating your worth,” Hua Yuting coldly snorted. He then clasped his fists toward the crowd and declared, “Everyone, this Zhao Tianyi infiltrated our Yu Xu Sect, colluding with the evil dragon Ao Hong to kill my son, Hua Tianxiong. Today, he dares to bewilder you all and humiliate me. I’m merely teaching him a lesson. If he still refuses to repent, I will personally take his life, annihilate his soul, and ensure his spirit never finds rebirth.”
Rather than being an explanation to the crowd, Hua Yuting’s words were more of a warning aimed at Taiyi Zhenren.
Bound by the threat of Hua Yuting’s Supreme Treasure, Taiyi Zhenren and the others dared not provoke him and could only swallow their anger in silence.
However, Tai Xuan Zhenren wanted to use this opportunity to test Zhao Tianyi’s true strength.
“Alright then! Glad the issue is resolved…”
Seeing that even the sect leader, Taiyi Zhenren, said not a word, Dong Wu Zhenren inwardly sighed in frustration. With such a weak leadership, the Yu Xu Sect would never rise—it was simply too chaotic. Yet, this weak leadership benefited the Kunlun Sect, unlike Hua Yuting, who acted unilaterally and needed to be watched closely.
At this moment, Dong Wu Zhenren retracted his treasure and everyone headed off to the banquet.
Inside the Dragon-Capturing Kunyuan Pagoda, Shui Miao remained calm and silently circulated his divine consciousness to probe the environment and observe the formations within the pagoda.
This was a Supreme Treasure forged from Tianyuan Stone. The primary arrays inside were designed to generate Yin-type primordial energy and malevolent energy.
Additionally, there was a massive and complex formation generating gravitational force— a chaotic array.
These arrays weren’t particularly profound, but they were crafted with extreme precision. Soon, Shui Miao had fully analyzed the internal structure of the treasure.
The reason Shui Miao could so easily obtain information from this Supreme Treasure was directly related to the lack of a soul within the treasure itself, and the fact that Hua Yuting’s cultivation power had not yet fully recovered to the level of a Supreme Immortal. On Shui Miao’s side, however, he could draw upon the power of two Emperor Immortal-level artifact spirits, allowing him to secretly gather information without detection.
Moreover, a Supreme Treasure imprisoning a Supreme Immortal—whether one or a hundred—would pose no problem.
But Shui Miao had two powerful artifact spirits at his disposal.
In addition, Hua Yuting was currently preoccupied with socializing and had no time to monitor Shui Miao, who was trapped inside the Supreme Treasure.
Therefore, Shui Miao secretly activated the Tianmo and Mengmo cultivation techniques to infiltrate the core formation, confusing Hua Yuting’s divine consciousness at the formation’s heart. He then poured all his immortal energy into severing the connection between the core formation and the Supreme Treasure, transforming the formation, performing a complete overhaul, and secretly reconstructing a new core formation.
Although the chaotic energy could generate immense pressure, it could not stop Shui Miao’s spiritual force.
Under the guidance of Shui Miao’s spiritual power, the new core formation was completed successfully, allowing Shui Miao to take control of the Supreme Treasure.
“Hmm?”
After obtaining the Supreme Treasure, Shui Miao’s mind stirred and he immediately sensed that the Kunyuan Pagoda was also imprisoning Hu Xianzun and his family. They were suffering terribly, barely clinging to life.
There was no need to ask—Hua Yuting must have conspired with Kunpeng Xianzun to destroy Hu Xianzun’s family.
Without hesitation, Shui Miao mentally transported Hu Xianzun’s family into his own conceptual planet, then sealed the Supreme Treasure into the Time Pagoda and directly placed it into his refining furnace for smelting.
“Eh, what’s going on…?”
Hu Xianzun, his daughter, and the rest of his family suddenly felt the pressure vanish, leaving them all deeply shaken.
“Master Hu, rest assured. I am Shui Miao. I’ve come to rescue you. Stay here for now. I’ll speak with you again after dealing with Hua Yuting.”
Shui Miao immediately sent a mental transmission to Hu Xianzun.
“We’re saved!”
“Thank the heavens! We’re saved!”
Hu Xianzun and his family were instantly overjoyed. Hu Xianzun quickly said, “Brother Shui, I told them nothing. I only said that the ice domain treasure was exchanged with a mysterious figure. I truly revealed nothing else…”
“I believe you!”
“As for Hua Yuting, I won’t let him off so easily…”
“Right! Here’s an idea…”
Shui Miao quickly devised a plan, teleporting out the destructive Immortal Artifact he had just completed at the Tianji Sect and connecting it to Hua Yuting’s core formation. To avoid detection, Shui Miao continued using the Tianmo and Mengmo techniques to confuse Hua Yuting’s divine consciousness within the formation.
Then, within the Time Pagoda, using materials from the disassembled Dragon-Capturing Kunyuan Pagoda, Shui Miao forged a pair of flying shoes and two extremely small pearls, each filled with destruction arrays.
Everything was ready—only waiting for detonation!
Shui Miao concealed his aura, randomly selected a Great Golden Immortal from his conceptual planet, transformed into his appearance, and used his aura to secretly escape from Hua Yuting. At this moment, Hua Yuting and the others were inside an extremely grand hall, busily greeting representatives from various sects, completely unaware that Shui Miao had escaped.
“Hmph! Hua Yuting, this time you won’t escape death!”
As Shui Miao plotted, he quickly blended into the crowd and left.
The Mengmo illusion lingering within the destructive Immortal Artifact continued to bewilder Hua Yuting’s divine consciousness deep inside the core formation. As Shui Miao moved further away, the illusion would gradually fade, enabling Hua Yuting’s consciousness to slowly regain clarity. However, the moment he detected any anomaly, Shui Miao’s concealed formation would automatically trigger an explosion upon sensing foreign thoughts.
At that moment, Hua Yuting’s immortal body would likely be destroyed once again.
And the Kunlun Sect would also suffer!
The self-destruction of the Immortal Artifact would destroy half of Kunlun Sect and kill countless immortals.
After fleeing from Kunlun Sect, Shui Miao felt a faint sense of guilt. To defeat Hua Yuting, he was about to kill many innocent immortals—was this too excessive and cruel?
Suddenly, Shui Miao spotted a large group of Immortal Generals and many palace officials arriving together with Kunpeng Immortal Emperor at Kunlun Sect’s gate—evidently, they had also come to attend the birthday celebration.
“Hmph! Who cares about them? They’re not mortals. These high-and-mighty immortals can always reincarnate, hiding their soul talismans. If I don’t weaken their strength, they will always remain superior to me. Lowering their power certainly won’t harm me, will it? Right! I should do it. Instead of pitying these arrogant immortals, I should focus on helping the mortals. This is a world of survival of the fittest!”
“Now, I’ll first find a place to activate the treasure. If Kunpeng Immortal Emperor and Hua Yuting survive the explosion, I’ll finish them off personally…”
With that thought, Shui Miao immediately flew toward a distant, misty region.
To Shui Miao, the Immortal Realm was a vast battlefield filled with slaughter and conflict.
In war, showing mercy to others meant signing your own death warrant!
