Tick tock, tick tock.

Fresh blood flowed down Immortal Yu Hua’s cheeks and dripped onto Qiao Mu’s feet.

Despite the crowded soldiers around, there was a silent hush, with the sound of dripping blood echoing clearly.

In the distance, there was a commotion as city defenders squeezed through from behind, eager to witness the scene.

However, as they crowded closer and looked past their comrades, seeing the severed head held by the man in front, they unconsciously took a few steps back.

Within their line of sight.

On the head of Immortal Yu Hua, his eyes were wide open but his brows were furrowed, his cheeks showed traces of confusion, disbelief, and unwillingness.

This was not the expression one would expect from an "immortal."

In the soldiers’ minds, immortals were divine beings in temples, either solemn or compassionate, never revealing such expressions.

This was the immortal leader of the Yunxiao Sect!

Feather King was unbeatable throughout the land, fearless in battles, even the powerful demons deep in the mountains were subdued by her.

This extraordinary martial artist met her end at the hands of the immortals from Yunxiao Sect, facing divine punishment and buried in the floods.

That makes sense.

Although Feather King was strong, she was different from the immortals of Yunxiao Sect, no one doubted the immense power of the immortals to overturn the world.

But what they saw before their eyes at that moment…

Does that really make sense?

How could a mere mortal slay an immortal?

As the words "Seeing immortals, why not pay respects?" echoed.

Qiao Mu was met with an eerie silence from the crowd around him, then he stumbled back several steps.

At that moment, they suddenly felt fear and shock, their heads turning into a mush.

Something deep inside seemed to shatter firmly.

So this immortal… can also be killed?

Boom.

The final thunder in the sky exploded.

The lingering clouds slowly began to disperse from that moment on.

The dark clouds and heavy rain that covered Linhe City were actually made by Immortal Yu Hua’s spells. But now that Immortal Yu Hua has fallen, unable to escape even with their Nascent Soul, completely disappearing into Qiao Mu’s hands, the storm naturally ended there.

Splash…

The flood continued to wash against the city walls, but it gradually receded, revealing the original soil, grass, and rocks.

Unlike dark clouds, even though the flooding is also caused by unnatural immortal spells, once the water starts flowing, it will continue to flood Linhe City, even though Immortal Yu Hua is dead.

It may not bury the entire city, but it will definitely lead to a rare flood, causing immeasurable damage.

However, as the soldiers guarding the city looked up again, they saw the flooding river starting to recede as if it had a life of its own, flowing back into the Sky Piercing River, almost as if even the flood itself was afraid after the earlier shocking scene.

Amidst the surging water, a blurry giant beast shape disappeared beneath the surface, leaping into the river, completely merging with the Sky Piercing River and vanishing without a trace.

Lord Chen stared blankly at Qiao Mu holding the head of an immortal in his hand, still replaying Qiao Mu’s words in his mind.

You see an immortal, why not pay your respects?

Why not pay your respects?

As the Lord of the Underworld, he was not a simple-minded person.

From Qiao Mu’s words, he had sensed something, and more importantly, realizing he had previously sided against Qiao Mu, he had offended him. If he wanted to make amends next…

Lord Chen decisively knelt down in front of Qiao Mu and bowed:

"Greetings, immortal——"

"Hmm?" Qiao Mu glanced at him, causing Lord Chen to freeze and lose his strength.

Did he just flatter in vain?

Lord Chen suddenly felt scared and anxious.

Qiao Mu didn’t expect Lord Chen to interpret his words in this way, feeling slightly surprised.

The other soldiers around them also looked confused.

After all, Lord Chen was the ruler of this place, and his actions and words represented more than just himself.

Seeing Lord Chen kneel down, the other officers and soldiers behind him followed suit and knelt down one by one.

"Meet the immortal."

"Thank you, Mr. Qiao Xin, for saving lives, saving the city."

Everyone around knelt down, while Qiao Mu stood still, looking at the crowd with sudden interest.

He was actually a kind person, but being worshipped by so many people as if he were equal to the immortal leader of the Yunxiao Sect made him feel uncomfortable.

It felt as if he had fought a life and death battle with Immortal Yu Hua just to have people bow to him like a god while sitting high above on the clouds.

"Lord Chen." Qiao Mu locked eyes with Lord Chen and walked closer step by step.

"It seems that your desire for immortality is incurable."

"As the master of the mansion, don’t rush to act like a dog, especially not the lead dog."

As the words fell silent.

As Qiao Mu’s eyes focused, a sharp sound cut through the void, landing on Lord Chen’s neck.

Blood gushed out, a fine head rolled and dropped into a pool of blood.

"As for you all…" Qiao Mu glanced around:

"Stand up, no kneeling allowed."

As he commanded, people around gradually stood up one by one.

Many of them still showed mixed emotions on their faces, such as fear, shock, admiration, etc., keeping a strong sense of distance.

When Qiao Mu’s gaze swept their faces, the surrounding soldiers avoided eye contact, subconsciously lowering their heads.

Qiao Mu remained silent, feeling uninterested.

At that moment, a bird’s cry came from the sky, as the Jingwei Bird transformed into Qing Li spread its wings and flew around Qiao Mu, chirping melodiously.

"Is this the meaning of Jingwei filling up the sea?"

Qiao Mu looked down at the gradually receding floodwaters.

Climbing a mountain doesn’t mean conquering the peak; crossing a sea doesn’t mean conquering the entire ocean.

In reality, the mountains and the sea have always been there, unchanged by individual efforts. The idea of conquering the peak and the ocean is just an illusion of the climbers.

It’s not easy to cut down the celestial beings in the sky or in the heart…Well, to be honest, it’s not easy at all. It takes efforts for hundreds of years.

Qiao Mu didn’t conquer the ocean.

He only cut through a layer of waves.

Beyond this wave, there are endless waves that have been there since ancient times, ebbing and flowing persistently.

The journey is still long.

"The people’s knowledge has not yet opened."

"Just killing one Immortal Yu Hua is not enough."

Qiao Mu held back his killing intent, leaped off the city wall, and disappeared from sight.

The Jingwei Bird let out a cry and followed Qiao Mu’s figure as it went far away.

Only the body of Lord Chen and the head of Immortal Yu Hua remained lying quietly on the ground, soaked in blood.

………………………

"Why are you following me?" Qiao Mu looked at the Jingwei Bird behind him, pointing to a hill outside the city where the Feather King Army was gathered:

"Your soldiers are over there. Shouldn’t you go and regroup?"

When the flood came, Jade Carp commanded the remaining soldiers to take refuge in a nearby mountain camp.

Without Qiao Mu’s help, the Feather King Army on the mountain was going to be defeated. They might not get washed away by the flood, but they would be trapped there and starve to death.

Some soldiers and horses were lost, but not too many.

The biggest loss… was Qing Li, the Feather King who died in battle.

Even the Feather King Army, including Jade Carp, didn’t know about the Immortal Gate’s plan or that the Feather King had turned into Jingwei.

When Qiao Mu pointed at the Jingwei Bird, it didn’t fly away. Instead, it landed on Qiao Mu’s shoulder, gently tilted its head, and used its beak to groom its wet feathers from the rain.

"…It seems like she hasn’t regained her memory yet. Is this already her second life?"

"If Qing Li from her past life, she wouldn’t be so close to me, grooming her feathers on my shoulder. She should be back with the Feather King Army."

Qiao Mu pondered.

Although he and Feather King Qin Li met in Taotie City, Qing Li always kept her distance from him, and they were not close.

They only communicated by borrowing money and engaging in physical fights.

By the end of the battle in the city, he and Qing Li only had a pure relationship without becoming intimate.

"So the reincarnation of Jingwei, rising again after death, is actually similar to being reborn?"

Qiao Mu glanced at the Jingwei Bird on his shoulder, recalling the words he extracted from Taoist Child Yu Shan about the fake cultivator Yu Lie.

From that moment on, he learned about Yunxiao Sect’s plan to "recreate the myth of Jingwei filling up the sea."

So when Qiao Mu arrived for the appointment and battled with Qing Li in front of the formation until being killed by Immortal Yu Hua, it was all deliberate, not impulsive.

According to the plan of the Immortal Gate, Qing Li was supposed to die outside Linhe City with regret and resentment.

According to Qing Li herself, the sins committed by the Feather King cannot simply be blamed on the Immortal Gate to clear oneself of guilt.

Her mistakes will not change due to the suffering of the relatives who died tragically in Xishan Village and the moral dilemma in her heart.

Qiao Mu tried to do was not to save her life.

But to turn her resentment into determination, to die in a dignified and regret-free way at the end of life.

So when Qing Li said he had a rough side but also some finer qualities, she wasn’t entirely wrong.

As for rebirth after death, becoming Jingwei… Qiao Mu wasn’t thinking that far ahead.

Playing with the bird perched on his shoulder, Qiao Mu had a thought and delved into the Long Life Lock in his mind, where a stream of information appeared.

……………

Long Life Lock practiced in his dreams, just the basics.

To Qiao Mu, practicing martial arts and facing life-and-death battles in his dreams was the right way to unlock his potential.

When entering the 2nd rank of Spiritual Refining Period, Qiao Mu’s consciousness in his dreams was blurry, and he practiced martial arts based on his subconscious mind, learning a variety of skills.

But for the present Qiao Mu, he no longer needed to focus on mastering a large quantity of intermediate-level martial arts.

Half practicing the "Human Path Sutra" in his dreams, the other half mastering the "Divine Transformation Technique" to unlock true strength.

These combined techniques advanced Qiao Mu’s martial arts by leaps and bounds, leading to a fundamental breakthrough in his skills.

Even practicing a hundred common martial arts techniques like "Iron Head Skill" wouldn’t compare to the incredible progress brought by this groundbreaking technique.

Qiao Mu came back to his senses and gazed into the distance.

"Has Taoist Child Yu Shan from Yunxiao Sect run in this direction?"

He wanted to chase after him, but when he checked his internal energy, he didn’t know where that person Yu Shan was, so he had to give up.

Qiao Mu always fights with all his strength, holding nothing back.

In just three seconds after landing, he used all his strongest moves until he had no more energy left, giving his opponent full damage. It was a fight to the death, and then he would quickly come back to life and do it again.

It’s all about having fun!

Dealing with the Nascent Soul Immortal naturally required giving it all, but in the end, almost 90% of his True strength from his core was depleted.

Remembering that the essence of this True strength is to be led by the "spirit" governing internal energy, like a general leading his soldiers, merging the two into one.

Striking with all his might was equivalent to simultaneously using the "Eye Sword Technique."

Even though the power and range of his energy projection surpassed what he had done before, once his True strength was depleted, he felt mentally and physically exhausted.

…………………

Several tens of miles away.

Taoist Child Yu Shan saw Qiao Mu look in that direction and immediately turned pale, turned into a rainbow light and flew up into the sky.

After a while, when he saw that Qiao Mu was not following, he stopped in the sky.

"This Qiao human family is not human at all, but monsters disguised in human skin!"

Remembering what happened just now, Taoist Child Yu Shan felt a headache coming.

He was still a bit puzzled about the identity of the Qiao family member.

Now that he saw Qiao Mu defeat the Nascent Soul Immortal, all his doubts disappeared.

There couldn’t possibly be such a mortal in this world; it must be a monster in human form!

Whenever Yu Shan thought about it, he felt heavy-hearted.

He had planned to see if Qiao Mu could handle Immortal Yu Hua, then secretly harm his own senior brother — but who knew Immortal Yu Hua would die like this!

"Senior Brother Yu Hua was too arrogant, I need to be more cautious and strategize," Yu Shan thought to himself.

"He had advised me to use ‘Beast Blood Boil’ against Qing Li before, but now he couldn’t save himself and is gone!"

"Even though he’s gone, things have turned into a mess now!"

Just like Jingwei Bird’s planned resurrection, now it’s gone!

The Sky Piercing Water Spirit was successfully created, but the newborn water spirit has disappeared into Sky Piercing River.

Yu Shan hovered over Sky Piercing River, carefully searching with his senses, but after a long time, he found nothing and his face turned pale.

This is not a trivial matter!

The water spirit is actually a part of the Sky Piercing River.

It was easy to control when just awakened, still under Immortal Yu Hua’s control.

Now that it has gone out of control and escaped into the Sky Piercing River, it’s like a dragon returning to the sea, even more serious than losing Jingwei Bird!

If Jingwei Bird is lost, it can be found again.

The water spirit that escaped into the Sky Piercing River will inevitably grow rapidly at an astonishing rate, even controlling the water of the entire Sky Piercing River in the province.

In Yunxiao Sect’s plan, the Sky Piercing Water Spirit was supposed to become the "Sky Piercing Demon King" in the sect’s hands, controlling the Southwest Province and even the entire Sky Piercing River. At that time, even the Soul Changing Taoist Lord of the other Eight Immortal Gates might not be able to suppress this demon king.

With Yunxiao Sect’s strength declining, they really need to create such a giant figure as the "Sky Piercing Demon King"…

"I really don’t know how to report this to the sect leader…"

Yu Shan could only smile bitterly.

This matter is very serious. A Nascent Soul Immortal has died, and Jingwei Bird and Sky Piercing Water Spirit have both gone missing. Additionally, a member of the Qiao family has become a major enemy.

"Well, let’s take it step by step. With the current situation being uncertain, it’s better to reach the Nascent Soul Stage first to gain more confidence."

"It’s also thanks to Senior Brother Yu Hua’s ascension to immortality that he freed up a spot for me."

The magnitude of this matter is so great that even as a Taoist Child, he couldn’t handle it.

If a Taoist friend dies, the poor Taoist should strive to reach the Nascent Soul stage first.

…………………….

Peach Blossom Villa.

Qiao Mu had just arrived at the entrance of the villa when he suddenly saw a chubby figure coming towards him. It landed on his face.

"Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao, when did you pass away? Why did you keep it a secret from me?"

The chubby cat was snuggled up against Qiao Mu’s chest, its claws scratching his shoulder, getting ready to lick his neck when Qiao Mu swatted it away with his hand.

Surprisingly, the chubby cat held onto Qiao Mu’s hand tightly, hanging on and gently licking the cut on his wrist from the Eye Sword Technique.

This cut on the wrist was caused by Qiao Mu himself, releasing blood to use the "Blood Sword Technique."

With True strength protecting him, after a fierce battle, Qiao Mu only had this one self-inflicted wound, which was quickly healing on its own.

"No wonder I don’t feel right, it turns out I was missing the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method, and I don’t have any wounds on my body."

After the intense battle, Qiao Mu didn’t have any broken bones or severed muscles, but he felt a bit strange.

It wasn’t that Qiao Mu forgot about the Qiao family’s martial arts starting move, the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method, which was well known to everyone.

The issue was that after converting internal strength into True strength, the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method couldn’t keep up and fell behind.

The internal strength produced by the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method remained the same as before the transformation, but the side effects were still significant, creating two conflicting energies within the body.

"It looks like I need to improve the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method," Qiao Mu suddenly remembered when he had a dream of his whole body falling apart after using a Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method when he was young.

Qiao Mu teared up: time waits for no one, in the blink of an eye, a thousand years have passed, finally having the chance to revisit his youthful dream.
