Chapter 584: Chen Yiren Descends to the Mortal World

Flying westward, covering hundreds of miles in a flash, Shui Miao transformed back into his original form and returned to his Tianji Sect.

This sacred mountain was filled with rich spiritual energy, hidden with numerous arrays that made it impossible for outsiders to peer in, maintaining an air of profound mystery.

Moreover, with the recent disappearance of the Holy Immortal Lord’s family, even if someone wanted to gather information, there would be nowhere to seek it.

Inside the grand hall of the sacred mountain, after sitting cross-legged in meditation, Shui Miao began to cultivate while simultaneously keeping a close eye on his father Chen Yiren’s recovery of his Yuan Shen (soul).

Streams of miraculous medicinal energy were repairing the damages within Chen Yiren’s Yuan Shen and nourishing his immortal soul.

Previously, he had only been a minor immortal.

But now, the Triple Sage Yuan Ying Pill alone had elevated his immortal soul to the realm of a Fei Xian (Ascended Immortal).

Of course, this was not the end yet.

The Triple Sage Yuan Ying Pill was indeed extraordinary.

Shui Miao felt deep gratitude toward the Goddess of the Nine Heavens, yet inwardly felt a slight regret for not having the chance to obtain the art of divination. If he could master it and set up a grand formation, crafting a supreme immortal artifact, it would make future predictions much easier and more effortless.

However, things couldn’t always be forced; one must go with the flow.

After calming his thoughts and emotions, Shui Miao settled into quiet meditation.

Several hours later, a sudden shift in his mind told him that the Triple Sage Yuan Ying Pill had completely restored his father’s three souls and seven spirits. His father’s immortal cultivation had also reached the realm of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. The Triple Sage Yuan Ying Pill, indeed, was worthy of being a pill crafted by an Immortal Emperor. The Emperor Qi’s effect was so powerful that it could directly forge a Great Luo Golden Immortal!

I must find a way to obtain more Emperor Qi!

As these thoughts passed through his mind, Shui Miao sent a mental message to his father, sharing his experiences and current situation. Chen Yiren, upon receiving all of Shui Miao’s memories, was utterly astonished and found it hard to believe. Yet the reality was before him—he was inside his son’s Primordial Supreme Treasure, leaving him no room for doubt.

After a long while, he collected his thoughts and wanted to step outside to see for himself.

Shui Miao teleported his father out of the treasure and summoned Lian’er and He’er to accompany him as they conversed.

Seeing everything was real, and realizing his son had become an Immortal Sovereign with his own sacred mountain sect, Chen Yiren was overwhelmed with emotion. After a moment of reflection, he said to Shui Miao, “Son, your success today is all thanks to the White Lotus Goddess!”

“…”

At these words, Shui Miao frowned. He hadn’t expected his father to still defend that despicable female ghost after he had transmitted all his memories. Wasn’t she the one who had deceived him and used the Phantom Demon Mirror to manipulate him?

“Son, I know you don’t trust her, but you must admit that our current situation is inseparable from her influence. It was indeed my fault for using the Phantom Demon Mirror to manipulate your thoughts. But you must calm down and think carefully—everything has two sides. Without those experiences, perhaps you wouldn’t have reached where you are today.”

Chen Yiren spoke with sincerity, and there was indeed some truth in his words.

Shui Miao restrained his temper and asked, “Father, just tell me directly—what do you want me to do?”

“My son, what I mean is that we should forget the past grudges and let bygones be bygones. But from today onward, if she tries to harm you again, then you can deal with her, and I won’t stop you. However, there are some things you must consider carefully—White Lotus is a disciple of Lao Tzu, the Supreme Elder. You must also respect the master when dealing with the disciple!”

Chen Yiren, full of righteousness, tried to pacify his son’s desire for vengeance.

“Alright.”

After a moment of thought, Shui Miao nodded in agreement, not wanting to make his father feel uneasy.

Chen Yiren smiled with satisfaction and, accompanied by everyone, toured the sacred mountain.

After the tour, filled with emotion, he said to Shui Miao, “Son, now that you have such great abilities, why don’t we go to the mortal world and bring your mother, your sister, and other relatives and friends here? Even if it goes against the heavenly laws, we can hide them in this sect. It should be safe enough, right?”

“Father, I have considered that before. But with the current chaos in the Immortal Realm and the imminent Immortal-Deity War, bringing everyone here might not necessarily be a good idea. If they get involved, it might lead to greater losses.”

Chen Yiren’s heart stirred. “Son, could it be that you are aiming to become an Immortal Emperor?”

“Of course. Only the strong can stand firm in the Immortal Realm. The weak are always others’ pawns. I want to use this Immortal-Deity War to hone my skills. If I can become an Immortal Emperor, after the war ends, we can live in peace. Then I can reunite all our loved ones and bring kind-hearted mortals into the Immortal Sect. That would be true harmony and happiness!”

Shui Miao’s thoughts were mature and deeply rooted in the way of survival.

He refused to be manipulated by unscrupulous villains and harbored the ambition to govern the Three Realms, vowing to eliminate all evil and let the good live without confusion or suffering.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yiren nodded heavily. “Good! Son, I’m truly pleased that you think this way. Go ahead and do what you must. I won’t be a burden to you. I plan to go to the mortal world myself to take care of everyone, so you won’t have to worry. However, when I go back, bringing more immortal pills would be better.”

“…”

Shui Miao’s heart stirred. He found his father’s suggestion feasible, but he couldn’t ignore the deep entanglement between his father and that ancient female ghost. After much consideration, he turned to Lian’er and said, “Lian’er, please go and pick some immortal fruits for my father to take to the mortal world.”

Then he turned to Chen Yiren and said, “Father, mortals’ bodies are weak and cannot withstand the stronger immortal pills, so just take a few. Don’t be hasty or openly violate the laws of the Three Realms. The spirit officials, city gods, and the Thunder Division of the Immortal Realm are constantly watching the mortal world—caution is always necessary. Also, I will craft some immortal artifacts for your protection and give you some spirit stones. If anything goes wrong, bring everyone here immediately.”

As he spoke, Shui Miao recalled He’er into the Time Tower.

Inside the tower, the artifact-forging furnace had already begun operating.

Shui Miao still had many materials below the Tianyuan Stone level, making it no problem to forge some supreme immortal artifacts.

At the same time, he sent a mental message to He’er, “Sister He’er, I need to ask you a favor. Would that be okay?”

“Shui Miao, you not only saved my life but also helped me cultivate and rapidly improve my cultivation. You’ve given me many immortal artifacts. How could I not help you? Your matter is my matter. Just tell me directly what I can do—no need to say ‘please’.”

He’er’s words were sincere; she had been looking for an opportunity to repay Shui Miao.

Shui Miao disliked unnecessary words and spoke directly, “My father is going back to the mortal world, and I’m worried he might attract trouble. For everyone’s safety, I want you to collect a bit of their Yuan Shen essence. If anything happens to them, I can revive them later.”

“That’s a small matter. I guarantee I’ll do it well.”

He’er sighed in relief—collecting Yuan Shen essence was indeed not difficult.

“Great! Here, take this flying needle. Use it if you have no other choice.”

With a thought, Shui Miao sent the flying needle to He’er for protection.

He’er sensed the needle with her divine consciousness and was shocked to find it was a Supreme Treasure. “Shui Miao, thank you for trusting me so much!”

“Haha, I should be thanking you.”

Shui Miao was generous, giving away a Supreme Treasure, showing how magnanimous he was toward his friends.

Then, concentrating, Shui Miao forged two more immortal artifacts: a protective Time Pearl and a Yin-Yang Five Elements Illusion Mirror. Without using the Thunder Array, he refined them into supreme immortal artifacts, letting Chen Yiren perform blood activation.

After obtaining the immortal artifacts, low-grade pills, immortal herbs, and spirit stones, Chen Yiren felt confident and ready.

Privately, Shui Miao also gave He’er some spirit stones, as the flying needle’s consumption was enormous.

Once everything was ready, Shui Miao flew directly out of the Southern Heaven Gate, secretly sending everyone down to the mortal world.

It’s worth noting that in the Immortal Realm, immortals above the Great Luo Golden Immortal level were not restricted from descending to the mortal world. Since Shui Miao had reached the Immortal Sovereign level, the heavenly soldiers naturally dared not stop him. The reason he went secretly was to avoid being discovered by potential enemies, which could endanger everyone.

Shui Miao did not go to the mortal world himself. After sending off his father and He’er, he immediately returned to the Immortal Capital Mountain to investigate the group stage competition.

With a reward of ten Emperor Qi Pills and five Supreme Treasures, Shui Miao naturally had no intention of missing this opportunity.
