Shui Miao’s current strength and understanding of formations made modifying a top-grade immortal artifact seem like a simple and effortless task.
This golden pagoda, forged from fire and metal, was exceptionally sturdy. Imprisoning someone inside it made escape nearly impossible for cultivators of ordinary ability.
Shui Miao utilized fire-based xian power combined with Soul Devouring Power to instantly destroy the artifact’s spirit. Then, by modifying the formation structure with fire-based xian energy, he transformed the golden pagoda into an offensive weapon. As Yu Yan De Jun hurled the pagoda forward, Shui Miao immediately took control of it, using the ensuing chaos to snatch treasures and swords from the panicked Golden Immortals.
The Soul Devouring Power transformed into a black blade, severing a Golden Immortal’s arm before pulling both into the Tianyuan Ring Formation for suppression.
“Haha! Young man, thank you for helping me. I know you are Shui Miao—I was just looking for you! I never expected you’d assist me against these immortals. I’m truly grateful!” Suddenly, the Evil Dragon mentally transmitted to Shui Miao, establishing a spiritual connection.
It’s the Evil Dragon!
Why is he saying this to me?
Shui Miao’s eyes flickered with thought. “You know me? Could it be that…?”
Exactly. Bai Lian, the thousand-year-old female ghost, told me about you. She’s doing well and is currently a guest at our Dragon Palace. As for Hua Tianxiong, he’s trapped in our formation, suffering endlessly day and night. Haha… Coincidentally, you’re also an enemy of the Yu Xu Sect. How about we join forces to deal with them?
“Senior’s proposal suits me perfectly.”
While Shui Miao readily agreed verbally, he continued maneuvering the golden pagoda to snatch weapons and swords at every second.
These Golden Immortals had come prepared, forming a formation capable of resisting the Evil Dragon’s attacks.
However, they hadn’t anticipated Shui Miao’s interference. He disrupted their formation, stole their treasures, leaving them weaponless and vulnerable like lambs awaiting slaughter!
“Fine! Take all the treasures. I cultivate the Great Devouring Technique and only need their physical bodies and blood energy. Everything else I don’t need!” The Evil Dragon feigned generosity.
But in reality, who wouldn’t value treasures?
He simply realized that Shui Miao’s Devouring Power was terrifyingly strong. To avoid offending him, he took the opportunity to do Shui Miao a favor, befriending him to help fight against Wu Chang Yi Dao.
“Popular Sword Technique!”
“Whoosh…”
Suddenly, Wu Chang Yi Dao appeared beneath the Evil Dragon, slicing a blood gash over ten meters long. Dozens of Golden Immortals plummeted from the sky, crashing onto the ground.
“Eh! How could this happen?”
Glancing at the fallen Golden Immortals, Wu Chang Yi Dao froze—these Golden Immortals were completely naked, soaked from head to toe. Their clothes, treasures, swords, and even some arms were gone!
They looked utterly disgraceful, at their most pitiful.
Thirty-six Golden Immortals reduced to this state in an instant!
Observing this, Shui Miao suddenly felt slightly evil—he hadn’t even left them their underwear.
“Hu!”
“Peng!”
Before Wu Chang Yi Dao could recover from his shock, the Evil Dragon’s tail slammed him hard into the ground.
“Shameful! Return to the Immortal Realm, all of you!”
Wu Chang Yi Dao was tough, unharmed by the blow. He immediately sprang up, angrily cursed the Golden Immortals, then resumed battling the Evil Dragon.
Indeed, Wu Chang Yi Dao proved extraordinarily brave, fighting evenly against four Dragon Lords.
The Golden Immortals scattered, hiding their forms and fleeing…
Not chasing the defeated, Shui Miao, who had no desire for excessive bloodshed, spared these Golden Immortals. He controlled the golden pagoda, flew to Bu Yi’s side, and reappeared. “Haha! This time I wasn’t caught in vain—I profited greatly from the chaos.”
“Ahh! Block him quickly!”
Seeing Shui Miao suddenly reappear, Meng San Niang feared Wu Chang Yi Dao might attack again and hurriedly shielded Shui Miao with her body.
Bu Yi also tried to block, but his short stature made it difficult.
“Hehe, no problem. He’s busy fighting the four Dragon Lords. He won’t be able to come after me anytime soon,” Shui Miao observed the battlefield. Although two Dragon Lords were injured, they had pills to heal. Now, four Dragon Lords surrounded Wu Chang Yi Dao, forming a barrier formation that had already trapped him.
“Shui Miao, don’t be careless!”
Bu Yi still felt lingering fear—he had been intimidated by Wu Chang Yi Dao.
Meng San Niang’s brows moved slightly as she said to Shui Miao, “Shui Miao, I just probed some memories from Wu Chang Yi Dao. I don’t understand formations, so I’m not sure if it will help you.”
“What kind of memories?” Shui Miao’s heart stirred. Anything Meng San Niang obtained couldn’t be ordinary!
Immediately, Meng San Niang transferred the memories to Shui Miao.
As Shui Miao processed the memories, he suddenly became excited. “So that’s it! I’ll try creating a similar, perhaps even better treasure!”
Excitedly, Shui Miao retracted the golden pagoda and returned to the Time Tower.
“San Niang, what did you find?”
Bu Yi was extremely curious.
Meng San Niang whispered softly, “A memory fragment. It might help Shui Miao discover why Wu Chang Yi Dao’s movements became so fast.”
“Tell me about that memory too!”
Bu Yi immediately became excited. If they could create a treasure capable of reversing the external flow of time, the Dwarven Clan would undoubtedly gain a powerful new trump card.
But when Bu Yi received the memory fragment, he was stunned—he simply couldn’t comprehend its meaning.
This proved that Shui Miao’s understanding of formations had far surpassed Bu Yi’s.
The structure of the Time Tower first involved creating a solid space, then setting up a large Bagua formation inside that alternated between Yin and Yang. Within the core of this Bagua formation, another formation was placed, and so on for multiple layers. Then, spirit stones were used to accelerate the rotation speed of the Bagua disk, simulating a special effect of prolonged time.
The Time Tower was an extremely complex formation. Only a supreme master cultivator could possibly construct it.
However, using the Time Tower externally as an artifact was almost unheard of.
Wu Chang Yi Dao’s appearance today provided Shui Miao with a qualitative inspiration.
First, create a sturdy protective artifact. Inside this protective artifact, construct a Time Bead. By running the Bagua formation in reverse, the formation would emit supernatural power outward. Since this power would be contained within the protective artifact, anyone inside could achieve the same effect as Wu Chang Yi Dao—freely accelerating their own speed at will.
Of course, this was only theoretical. Whether it could succeed required actually forging the Time Bead to find out.
“It worked!”
On Shui Miao’s realm planet, the simulation experiment succeeded on the first attempt.
Now, it was time to start forging!
