Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 310 The First Pattern Master, Immortal God Ice
[Having converted the evil runes that devoured the spirit, I have obtained most of the true essence of the Five Elders' Daoist runes through transformation and rebirth. Current completeness: 68%.]

[Having completed half of the Dao rune, you have become the first master of this Dao rune. You can now freely use all the runes derived from this Dao rune, and your proficiency has increased to the third tier. Furthermore, your future cultivation of these runes will be divinely aided, leading to extremely rapid progress. You will also be immune to most of the effects of the runes derived from this Dao rune.]

[Derivative Runes: Illusionary Heart, Transformation, Disguise, Face Changer...]

[The first rune master can receive location information from other rune masters: Heavenly Demon Twelve (Zizaitian, Heavenly Demon Palace), Fox Qingqing (Tianyuan Eastern Wilderness, Qingqiu Mountain), Divine General A (Tianwaitian, Laojun Palace), Chief Evil Yuan (Tianyuan Central Land, Pingxi Prince's Mansion)...]

[The First Pattern Master has concealed his own information; the other Pattern Masters, not being within a million miles of the same world, cannot sense his location.]

·······
The spiritual roots and bones are simply returning to their original owners.

The Five Elders' Dao Patterns were an unexpected bonus.

Although Su Qing has many Dao patterns on his body, this is the first time he has become the first pattern master.

The First Pattern Master has extensive authority, but what terrifies him most is its ability to detect the location information of all beings who possess this pattern.

He is a major shareholder who has transformed into a fetus and is hiding his information. He is intentionally avoiding the small shareholders in the Tianyuan Realm, and he is not afraid that the small shareholders will want to kill him.

But he wasn't a major shareholder of the other Dao patterns. In the past, he only thought that the more Dao patterns he applied, the better, and they were indeed easy and enjoyable to use.

However, they failed to consider the potential danger of this innocent man possessing a treasure that could lead to his downfall.

In a panic, he clicked on the other Dao pattern information. Although he couldn't find out who the first Dao pattern master was, he could find out whether there was a first Dao pattern master at all.

[No Dao Pattern Master in Jiuli currently possesses more than half of the Dao Pattern's true essence. The position of the First Dao Pattern Master is vacant. The completeness of each Dao Pattern Master is as follows: Kui Tianqi (21.78%), Hai Wupo (39.43%, Dao Pattern corrupted, only 50% of authority can be used), Shi Tie Xiong Zu (13.2%), Su Qing (0.38%)...]

[The Dao Pattern Qiongqi currently has no master who has mastered more than half of the Dao Pattern's true essence. The position of the first master is vacant. The completeness of each master is as follows: Benevolent Qiongqi (17.58%), Evil Qiongqi (19.26%, already transformed into evil), Tianhai Winged Tiger (7.83%), Ox-Tiger Mighty Demon (5.96%), Su Qing (3.48%)...]

[The Dao pattern blossomed instantly, but no pattern master has yet grasped more than half of the Dao pattern's true essence. The position of the first pattern master is vacant, and the completeness of each pattern master is...]

[The Dao Pattern Phoenix Boiling the Sea currently lacks a master who has mastered more than half of the Dao Pattern's true essence; the position of the first master is vacant; the completeness of each master's position is...]

[The Dao Pattern Transformation Hand currently lacks a master who has mastered more than half of the Dao Pattern's true essence; the first master's position is vacant; the completeness of each master's position is...]

······
[The first master of the Daoist runes: Whether it is true or not is unpredictable; even the Celestial Master cannot fathom it.]

[The Dao Pattern of Mountain and Sea currently has no master who has mastered more than half of the Dao Pattern's true essence. The position of the first master is vacant. The completeness of each master is as follows: Lin Shanlu (49.88%)... Su Qing (0.12%)]

·······
Fortunately, apart from Master Tong himself not knowing that he was the master of the inscription, let alone using his authority to eliminate the other masters of the Celestial Master Dao inscription, there were no other inscriptions that could be used to eliminate the other masters of the inscription.

In the short term, the only threat to him is the Linshan Deer, which is about to increase the completeness of the Dao Pattern Mountain and Sea to more than 50%.

According to the witch and Huang Song, this person is currently in seclusion, striving to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. When breaking through to this stage, he will be blocked by a heavenly tribulation, facing a nine-out-of-ten chance of death. He may even die in the heavenly tribulation before he becomes a master of the runes. So there is no need to worry too much.

The Dao patterns on his body will not explode with lightning for the time being.

Su Qing breathed a slight sigh of relief and turned her gaze to the soul fire below.

Princess Fire Phoenix, unaware of the situation inside the furnace, was still diligently tending the fire.

If Su Qing were a person, he would have rushed outside the furnace right now to tell the princess that the old evil spirit was dead and not to continue breathing fire, lest he harm his body.

It's rare for a princess to light a fire, and even harder for a witch to control the temperature.

It's not a big deal if you act badly for a while.

Su Qing, who was born with a thick skin, rushed into the sea of ​​fire with Xiong Er. Using the blazing fire set up by the princess, the two of them, one human and one bear, wanted to forge a fourth-order puppet body in the furnace.

The materials are readily available.

The fourth-tier spiritual treasure, the Cloud Mountain Palace, transformed into gushing golden liquid, was scalding to the touch and exhilarating to behold.

To utilize this molten gold, it must be used while it is still hot. Otherwise, once it solidifies, its hardness, achieved by mixing numerous fourth-tier materials, will make it incredibly difficult to forge into any desired shape, requiring an immense amount of effort.

He took off his nearly torn tortoise shell, as old and sturdy as its owner's, and gave it to Xiong Er.

Not only the Cold Tortoise Shell, but also the Heavenly Silkworm Shell, the Heavenly Silkworm Shell, the Heavenly Silkworm Shell, and many other sets of Heavenly Silkworm Shells were also put on Xiong Er.

He gave all the armor to Xiong Er, and gave him all the battle flags and robes he could. The only thing Xiong Er couldn't wear was the tiger egg; otherwise, he would have been willing to give it to Xiong Er.

Even so, fearing that Xiong Er would get too hot, he took out the Fu Sheng Seal and summoned the power of many runes, such as the Frost Rune and the Ice Rune, to create an air-conditioned rune-inspired garment for Xiong Er.

Such a considerate owner, and such a comfortable working environment.

This prompted Xiong Er to whistle repeatedly, expressing his gratitude. He even forgot to mention his wages. Xiong pointed at Su Qing, indicating that he had given it the means to prevent fire and heat, so what would Su Qing do?

"You can focus on your work and don't need to worry about my safety!"

The naive Xiong Er had no idea that his master had transformed from a soft man into a tough guy.

With his complete physical constitution and Daoist-patterned furnace lid, he could treat the soul fire as nothing and even absorb the energy within it for his own use.

However, according to the principle of conservation of energy, a small portion of the energy within this soul fire was emitted by his phantom fire phoenix. Absorbing it would be like absorbing oneself, which is extremely foolish.

Most of it was spewed out by Princess Fire Phoenix. The princess is as naive as Xiong Er and has already been deceived by the old demon. Now she has been tricked by herself to work as a puppeteer and is already feeling sorry for it. She even absorbs its energy. She is not only not human, but not even a thing!
Before absorbing the soul fire, holding the golden molten metal in his hands, he leaned against the furnace. The witch outside kept the furnace icy cold, and the scalding golden molten metal would instantly freeze upon contact.

"Quickly, hammer it into the shape of a monster? What monster? Just hammer it like the cold, hard tortoise shell you're wearing!"

While scooping up the golden juice, Su Qing urged Xiong Er to start forging iron.

The man and the bear were working busily.

The clanging and banging of the hammer could also be heard outside the furnace.

·······
In the eyes of the cultivators and demons outside the furnace.

Since Su Qing fearlessly threw himself into the furnace, making it clear that he would not return until he had refined the old evil spirit and would not rest until he had killed the old evil spirit.

He admired him greatly, but was also nervously watching the situation inside the furnace, trying to decide whether to put on a reasonable expression to welcome the hero Su Qing who had broken through the evil, or to run away early so that he could outrun his comrades when the old evil was born.

At first, the fel energy inside the furnace surged.

The demons and cultivators were filled with apprehension.

But in an instant, a great light of Buddha appeared, and the evil energy dissipated.

The demons and cultivators were overjoyed.

But after these two disturbances, there was no further movement inside the furnace.

Some cultivators with keen senses and sharp ears said they vaguely heard the sound of a wooden fish, which others could not hear and could not distinguish between real and fake.

By this time, the demons and cultivators had already guessed that the battle was either decided, with either the old demon having the upper hand or Su Qingdao being superior.

In any case, there should have been some movement, but there has been no movement at all. They don't know whether to celebrate or run away.

But soon another disturbance occurred.

But the flames of rebirth spewed by the Fire Phoenix Princess were even hotter than before.

The witch's cold moon emanation shone even more intensely than before.

Both those tending the fire and those controlling the temperature were giving it their all.

Accompanied by the heart-pounding clanging sounds emanating from the furnace.

All the demons and cultivators imagined a fierce battle between Su Qing and the old evil spirit. The commotion was so great that it must have been a life-or-death struggle with every punch landing!
Who lives and who dies?

It could be a matter of life and death for all the demons and cultivators present!

At this critical moment when Su Qing and Lao Xie were locked in a fierce battle, their fates hanging in the balance, it was also the only chance for all the demons and cultivators to decide whether to flee.

The Azure Lion King, a man of noble birth, made his choice immediately.

"Fellow cultivators, it was a great pleasure to fight alongside you all today. However, I have important matters to attend to in my clan, so I will take my leave now. We will meet again someday!"

The Azure Lion Clan, the kings of the demon race, share a common flaw among those in power: they must be swift in selling people.

Regardless of whether its tiger brother, with his human body and tiger's heart, is alive or dead, the Azure Lion King should run for its life first. "Elder Liu, please stay here and continue your work. This old Daoist will lead the disciples to the cave to welcome the Sect Master out. Once the Sect Master is out, Fellow Daoist Liu will no longer need to go through all this trouble!"

Elder Wu Dan was already quite timid, and after today's series of battles, he was terrified. Seeing the Azure Lion King leading the way in fleeing, he naturally wanted to lead his demonic disciples to make a hasty escape.

These demonic beasts and demonic cultivators left as soon as they said they would, while the rogue cultivators, who always loved to run away, didn't move an inch. Instead, they all started to mock them.

“Those who are not of our kind are sure to have different hearts. The demon race is indeed untrustworthy. I, Shao Delong, was just showing off with this Wind Eagle King a moment ago, and now he’s leaving without even saying goodbye?”

"Those demonic cultivators have no loyalty! I was just calling them brothers a moment ago!"

"Without Fellow Daoist Su resisting the old evil spirit, how could they have survived until now? Now that Fellow Daoist Su's fate is unknown, how can they have the conscience to run away!"

"Stop yelling! We're really not going to run away!"

"Brother 260 hasn't run away yet, why should we run?"

"Brother 260, your instincts are right, aren't they? Staying here is the safest place?"

"You dare question Brother 260? If you trust him, just stay here obediently!"

Ignoring the clanging sounds inside the furnace, the rogue cultivators were reassured to see that Brother 260 was still standing firmly, knowing that it wasn't time to run away yet.

While the rogue cultivators waited patiently for Su Qing to emerge from the furnace.

A hundred miles away, a deafening roar shook the earth and sky, causing all the rogue cultivators to tremble in fear.

A magnificent ice creation, forged from ice and seemingly born of heaven and earth, floated in the sky, perfectly flawless and sacredly inviolable.

The moment it appeared, everything within a hundred miles around it, both in the sky and on the ground, seemed to have fallen into an icy inferno. The group of demonic cultivators who had run the fastest were frozen into ice sculptures before they could even show any signs of fear, even when they were still on the outermost edge of that inferno.

The dead brothers couldn't be saved, and the living brothers ran for their lives. Elder Wu Dan led the more than one hundred surviving Foundation Establishment disciples in a frantic run, and finally managed to escape to the Refining Evil Furnace Child again.

To be honest, just now, standing next to this evil-refining furnace child, the scorching heat made my heart race.

Returning now, however, feels warm and comforting, deeply heartwarming.

The demonic cultivators ran westward toward their cave dwelling, only to find themselves on a dead end.

The monster brothers who went eastward didn't fare any better.

In the sky, countless golden lights swept from east to west, accompanied by demonic clouds and sword energy, like a sword mountain moving horizontally, destroying everything in its path and annihilating all living beings.

The poor demon brothers, who could fly and leap, either soaring through the sky on their wings or riding on demonic clouds, were mostly unable to walk properly on the ground. When this unreasonable golden light from the demonic clouds swept over them, they fell from the sky like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

The brothers who died in the plane crash couldn't be saved, but those who could run ran for their lives. The Azure Lion King, leading more than a hundred second and third-tier demon kings, finally ran back to the side of his fellow rogue cultivators.

To be honest, I found the noisy chatter of the rogue cultivators quite irritating.

Now that I've come back, I find the fellow cultivators to be kind and good-natured, their warm brotherhood bringing me peace of mind.

Meanwhile, Liang Haishun and the other rogue cultivators had just watched as these demonic and monster cultivators ran out, full of energy, only to emerge half-dead.

They increasingly felt that Brother 260 was a blessing sent from heaven to them, a guiding light to avoid calamities.

I was also quite flustered by the commotion on both sides of this thing, wondering what kind of trouble it was causing!

"I don't know about the one to the west, but the one coming from the east is my demon race's true king, the heartless and inhuman true king Tianpeng!"

"According to the old Taoist, the one to the west must be the Nascent Soul Great Evil that was transformed from the Dao Pattern and the Immortal God Ice!"

"Isn't that a perfect coincidence? Let your demon race's true king fight this Nascent Soul Great Evil, while we gather fire here in the furnace. Isn't that wonderful!"

"What a pipe dream! Didn't you see that demonic cloud hovering ten miles away? True King Tianpeng may be inhuman, but he is extremely cautious. Before he has a clear understanding of the Great Evil's strength, don't even think about him fighting the Great Evil to the death!"

"Lion King, you are a member of the demon royal family, and you have a father, the True King, above you. There shouldn't be any problem with having this Heavenly Roc provide you with some protection, right?"

"Why do you think Tianpeng is so cautious now? It's because when my beast and bird races fought back then, my father, together with several True Kings, used a scheme to severely injure it. I have a grudge against it, so how dare I let it protect me? But you, the Demon Sect Master, don't you have the ability of a Nascent Soul cultivator? Can you let him protect us and help us escape this calamity?"

"That's right, where is our sect leader?"

"Our sect leader is still inside the cave, and this ice creation has emerged from the underground cave. Could it be that our sect leader is gone?"

"Alas! The sect leader was too talented and ambitious, how could he die so young? With his death, he left no legacy. This vast Desire Demon Sect will be leaderless in the future. Who can shoulder the heavy responsibility of sect leader? Should I, Wu Dan, take the position? Although it is not impossible, this old Daoist will not refuse. But who will help us overcome this current crisis!"

"Elder Wu Dan, don't laugh, no, don't cry! The Sect Master is not dead! The Sect Master is not dead!"

"Ah, the sect leader isn't dead? That's such a pity... but also such a relief!"

Elder Wu Dan, who mistakenly believed that the sect leader was dead and that he himself was about to experience the corrupting influence of power, looked towards the western sky, unsure whether to be happy or worried.

Around the icy creation appeared a figure of the King of the Underworld, holding a treasure mirror in his right hand and a cinnabar jade in his left.

Behind that Dharma image, besides Master Lijing, the six elders of the Desire Demon Sect, including Master Zhifang, were also standing alive!

The sect leader is not dead, nor is the reserve sect leader, nor are the other five executive elders.

After a brief moment of disappointment at not being able to reach the pinnacle of power, Elder Wu Dan's face lit up with ecstatic joy.

"The Treasure Mirror reveals the Dharma Image of the Underworld King, and the aura of a Nascent Soul True Person. The Sect Master did not have the elders set up the Seven Demon Underworld King Formation before he condensed this Nascent Soul Dharma Image. It must be because of the struggle for the cave dwelling. The Sect Master got his wish and obtained the Nascent Soul Spirit Object. He even advanced to the Nascent Soul stage in one day!"

Upon hearing this, all the disciples of the Demonic Sect felt honored and their spirits were lifted.

Whether or not a Nascent Soul cultivator exists within the sect is of paramount importance to the Desire Demon Sect, which is currently undergoing rapid expansion.

At this moment, with the appearance of a Nascent Soul Sect Master, even with the threat of the Great Evil of Frost and the True King Tianpeng, what do these lustful demon cultivators have to fear?

By this time, the cultivators and demons had calmed down and could carefully observe the several beings surrounding the Great Frost Demon.

Apart from Shi Lijing and other sect leaders and elders of the Demon Sect.

To the left and in front of that great evil of ice was an unnamed old Taoist priest, protected by divine generals on both sides and possessed by immortals and gods behind him.

To the right front of that great evil of ice is the lantern hanging on the demon tree, which seems to have swallowed part of the evil runes of the Earth Demon Heaven.

These three forces, forming a pincer movement, trapped the great evil of ice in the center, leaving it with no way to escape.

“Fellow Daoist Master, I have already offered you the Crimson Jade Marrow with both hands and helped you achieve Nascent Soul. You haven’t even thanked me half a word, so why are you still chasing after me so relentlessly!”

That great evil of ice, or rather, the Jade Wall Immortal, with cold light in his eyes, respectfully addressed his master in a loud voice.

"Evil spirits and heretics deserve to be punished by everyone. Jade Bi, you have been plotting for a thousand years and have long been corrupted by these evil patterns. You even wanted to use this cinnabar jade to assimilate this sect master into evil. If it weren't for the enlightened beast tooth left by the ancestor protecting my soul, I would probably have been ambushed by you. This is not a favor but an enmity. How can this sect master forgive you!"

Shi Lijing broke out in a cold sweat as he recalled his previous encounter in the cave. At this moment, his anger was still not appeased as he rebuked the old evil spirit Yu Bi.

Seeing that his master was not persuaded by his respectful manners, the old evil man with jade walls turned his gaze to the old Taoist Tong.

"Fellow Daoist Tong and I have been friends for thousands of years. As you wished, I showed you the true form of the Immortal Ice. Why do you, like Gao Erqiang, insist on taking in this evil rune? Are the merit points of the Heavenly Talisman Hall really that important?"

Master Tong invoked the divine to cover his body. At this moment, he was over a hundred feet tall, with a yellow turban on his head and the Hun Tian Ri Yue Flag on his back. His power was no less than that of Master Lijing's Nascent Soul Dharma Image.

In fact, if it weren't for Old Taoist Tong's intervention in that cave, even if Shi Lijing had the Enlightened Beast Fang to protect him, he would still have been unable to escape the Jade Wall's poisonous claws the moment he swallowed the Vermilion Jade Marrow.

In the ensuing battles, the old Taoist's endless stream of talismans caused him great distress, making him even more troublesome than Shi Lijing, who had achieved the Nascent Soul stage!

"What I want to see is the Dao-patterned Immortal God Ice, not the Evil-patterned Absolute Spirit Ice!"

Since there were no Daoist patterns to be seen, the old Daoist decided to handle things officially.

Standing before you now is the 27th of the Heavenly Talisman Hall, a wandering talisman master who has taken in 27 evil runes of the Ten Capitals or above!

We discovered it, we contained it, we kept it safe!

Tong Laodao spoke with righteous indignation, holding up the Heavenly Talisman Token. From within the token, a beam of intense light shone out, causing the Jade Wall Old Evil to roar in agony.
