Immortality begins with meditation puppets

“Master Su, this child is Master Wan, no, he is the bastard son of Old Thief Wan. He possesses the bloodline of Old Thief Wan. Given that the Taotie has recognized Old Thief Wan as its master, this child, with his blood connection to Old Thief Wan, should be able to control some of the Taotie’s authority.”

On the Taotie, Su Qing played with the ship for a while and found that although he regarded Yun'er's uncle as his own uncle, the ship did not recognize this kinship and did not allow him to play with it in the slightest.

Behind him, a group of pirates, seeing him circling back and forth on the Taotie, and looking as if he had been toyed with by the Taotie, spoke up tremblingly.

Su Qing then turned her attention to the only survivor on the Taotie, the young man who had not been sacrificed by Ning Chengke.

Upon seeing the young man's appearance, his heart sank, knowing that there was no hope for him to control the Taotie through normal means.

This young man, with his pale face, looked three or four parts like Ning Chengke, but had absolutely no relation to Wan Xiari.

When the terrified second-generation seaman was sent to the captain's cabin, two large chunks of flesh were sliced ​​off his thigh. Apart from making him scream in pain, nothing was gained!
This situation was also within Su Qing's expectations. He could tell at a glance that this second-generation Hai was not Wan Xiari's offspring, so how could Wan Xiari not see it?

"Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown. My uncle has endured a lot in such a high-risk profession as a pirate emperor. It's been tough on him. He doesn't even dare to keep his son in the open. He pretends to be a fool and lets someone else raise his son in the open. His own offspring were probably sent to the lands beyond the Western Sea long ago!"

Su Qing shook her head regretfully. Besides regretting that there was no child of her uncle in Shipwreck Bay, she was even more regretful that the pirates were so cunning that they sent their own sons out to other places. She guessed that most of the precious materials and spirit stones over the years had probably been scattered to other places as well.
"Once the accountants at Wanghai have finished their tally, we'll know the specific gains from this operation. We're definitely not going to lose money, but I don't know if we'll make as much as I thought. After all, I'll have to share some of the spoils with Yun'er!"

The stolen goods in the bay were handled by special forces soldiers, Xiong Er, Huo Dan, Qing He and other puppets, spirit beasts, and Tan Cai Lian. After reciting a sentence, he turned all his attention back to the Taotie.

Undoubtedly, in this entire Shipwreck Bay, apart from the immovable fourth-order spiritual vein, the most valuable thing is the first treasure ship of the Western Sea, the Taotie, with the Five Elders Dao Pattern and the Taotie Dao Pattern transformed into evil.

He had nowhere to find his uncle's own child, and all of his uncle's other blood relatives had been sacrificed to the Taotie by that bastard Ning Chengke. It seemed he would have no chance to control this treasure ship.

It was burned down?

That’s such a waste!
Su Qing slowly walked into the captain's cabin, ready to have a good talk with the Taotie.

As soon as he stepped inside, he saw a blood beast with a sheep's face and a human body wriggling out of the captain's cabin from among the black and red worms. It spoke to Su Qing greedily and arrogantly:
"Offer your flesh and blood, offer your Dao fruits, sacrifice your past, present, and future, what you have possessed, what you already possess, and what you will possess in the future to me, and I will be at your service, roaming the Western Sea, dominating the universe, and enjoying thousands of years of wealth and glory!"

"So you're telling me to go bankrupt and work for you for nothing, giving you everything, and I'm supposed to be grateful? If anyone's heartless, it's you, or maybe you're some kind of evil spirit!"

Su Qing sneered, and without even needing the merit wooden fish in his storage bag to help him counteract the bewitching power of the Taotie evil rune, he rejected the Taotie evil rune's olive branch with his own will.

This condition is only agreed to by cultivators like Wan Xiari, whose cultivation aptitude is beyond words and whose future in the path of cultivation is uncertain.

Given Su Qing's current circumstances, only a fool would be bewitched by this evil rune.

“Very well, no one has ever refused me so decisively, but I believe you will come begging to me again!”

Feeling somewhat humiliated by Su Qing's rejection, Taotie Evil Pattern tried to salvage his reputation by uttering those words. Afterward, the sheep-faced human body disintegrated into a chaotic, writhing mass of flesh and worms.

"Wait! We haven't finished talking yet, why are you leaving!" Su Qing said urgently.

"Mortal, you ultimately cannot resist my temptation and wish to merge with me!" Upon hearing Su Qing call it, the Taotie Dao Pattern hurriedly transformed and reappeared.

It really wanted to find someone else to kill. Wan Xiari was just a fake infant, nearing the end of his life, and was not worth eating. In recent years, he had been languishing in Shipwreck Bay, rarely giving it a chance to eat anything substantial.

This time, when Wan Xia went to Langya Immortal Island, he didn't take it with him. He probably still had the intention of breaking up with it and freeing himself from the Taotie.

Taotie Xiewen had long known of Lao Deng's plans and had ways to ensure his escape.

But this was before a new ship owner was found. Old Deng was not willing to let go. Now that a new ship owner like Su Qing, who was young and had a bright future, what was the point of letting him go? He was not happy to eat this old meat!

As it excitedly awaited Su Qing's sacrifice of his life-giving Dao Fruit, it was eager to taste the faint Dao patterns of the Five Elders, including Jiuli and Qiongqi, on Su Qing's body, which it had been craving ever since Su Qing boarded the ship.

Suddenly, Su Qing sent out tiny puppets, each about an inch tall, from his storage bag. Each of these little puppets was emerald green and held a wooden fish-shaped Buddhist artifact that Su Qing instinctively loathed!
"There is still room for discussion, but it's not me who wants to talk to you. It's these eminent Buddhist practitioners who want to talk to you, the evil one who has committed countless atrocities in the Western Sea!"

Su Qing smiled and spoke, raising her hand to use the "Suppressing Mountains and Seas" technique to trap the Taotie evil creature, which realized something was wrong and was unwilling to talk to the Buddhist high-level cultivators, in place, unable to move.

Selling himself for a ship? That's something Su Qing would do.

What he wants to do is to reform this Taotie Dao pattern and make it completely his!
At this moment, there were as many as 108 high-ranking Buddhist cultivators surrounded by the evil Taotie pattern.

However, over the past fifty years, he had made a deal with the old Taoist priest, exchanging exorcism puppets for five or six fourth-tier golden light talismans. He then used these golden light talismans, worth tens of thousands of gold, to raise one hundred and eight outlaw heroes!

One hundred and eight lush green Buddhist monks, truly resembling a group of outlaw heroes, were capable of setting up a Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends Exorcism Formation.

Even though this Taotie Dao Pattern already possesses the power of a fourth-level cultivator and has the imposing presence of a Nascent Soul cultivator, once it falls into this Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Exorcism Formation, it can only obediently accept the baptism of Buddha's light!
"Ancient Buddha relics? Born with Buddha spirit? Such things still exist in the world? And there are people who can utilize them?"
"Hold your hand, I have more to say. I can lend you my strength, without any conditions, only that you swear an oath not to use these little wooden figures against me!"

Taotie Xiewen was very obedient. After realizing that the 108 heroes of the Green Forest could toy with him to death, he immediately backed down. He no longer cared about Su Qing's life or Dao Fruit. He didn't care about the past or the future. He just wanted the 108 heroes in front of him not to trample on and ruin him.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

The only response to the Taotie evil pattern was the sound of wooden fish drums from the 108 outlaws.

At the same time as the sound of the wood spirit rang out, the evil pattern of the Taotie also transformed into its natal form. Countless fleshy worms on the Taotie were twisted and pieced together to form a ferocious beast with the body of a sheep and the face of a human, eyes under its armpits, tiger teeth, and human claws.

The ferocious beast's enormous, bloody maw dripped with foul-smelling saliva. The moment it appeared, it tried to lunge at Su Qing, but it knew the principle of "to catch the thief, first catch the king." To avoid being tormented by the 108 heroes, it had to kill Su Qing, the culprit.

Faced with the onslaught of this evil beast, Su Qing remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was somewhat panicked. Although he had great confidence in the 108 heroes, it was, after all, a fourth-order great evil beast. Just in case, he still sent out the tiger egg to protect them.

The tiger egg was of no use. The 108 Buddhist masters and outlaws, while still calmly striking their wooden fish the instant the evil beast moved, gathered their Buddhist light and condensed into two Arhat images: one with a dragon wrapped around its shoulder and the other with a tiger under its foot.

One Arhat seemed to possess the power to subdue dragons; with a single palm strike, he pinned the evil beast to the spot. Another Arhat seemed to possess the ability to subdue tigers; he formed the Demon-Subduing Tiger-Subduing Seal with his hands. As soon as the seal was formed, the gluttonous evil beast seemed to be carrying a high mountain on its back, unable to move an inch.

With the help of two Arhats who subdued the evil beast with its monstrous markings, and Su Qing using his fourth-tier "Mountain and Sea Seal" skill (which he had refined into a puppet over fifty years), the beast, which had plagued the Western Sea for tens of thousands of years, was rendered helpless and at the mercy of others.

Under the torment of the 108 outlaws, the Taotie evil beast let out a mournful cry like a baby's wail. The louder it cried, the more excited Su Qing became.

Because the evil black aura on his body was gradually dissipating, more and more Daoist light spots were converging towards his mind.

In his sea of ​​consciousness, he saw that at the beginning of creation, there were four Dao patterns and true dragon patterns that broke off from the Dao talisman wall and transformed into ancestral dragons, spreading their seeds throughout the world.

In addition to giving birth to all kinds of dragon races and dragon descendants, this True Dragon Dao Pattern also interacted with heaven and earth, giving rise to many Dao Patterns below the Four Emperors, among which the Dao Pattern of the Nine Directions and Five Elders is the most outstanding.

They are Bixi, Suanni, Taotie, Pulao, Qiuniu, Jiaotu, Chiwen, Bian, and Yazi.

These Nine Directions and Five Elders Dao Patterns, in ancient times, transformed into strange beasts and stirred up boundless storms in the Tianyuan Realm along with the True Dragon Clan.

After the ancient calamity, apart from Bixi and Qiuniu Dao patterns whose whereabouts are temporarily unknown, the other seven Five Elders Dao patterns all transformed into the shape of fourth-order treasure ships, which were used by pirates and calamity cultivators. To be precise, they used the pirates and calamity cultivators to stir up trouble in the Western Sea.

"The nine sons of the dragon, even though these Dao patterns have been corrupted into evil patterns by the Western Sea, still instinctively follow the instincts of the ancient dragon descendants, preferring to dominate the sea rather than reign supreme on land!"

Su Qing, returning to reality from his sea of ​​consciousness, muttered to himself, realizing that with these seven treasure ships as a base, he could develop Shipwreck Bay, a pirate force second only to Penglai Thousand Islands in the depths of the Western Sea.

What kind of power must the Four Imperial True Dragon Dao Patterns above the Dao Patterns of the Five Elders, including Taotie, possess? If the True Dragon Clan, which has been silent in the depths of Guixu, were to emerge and wreak havoc, what force in the vast Western Sea cultivation world could possibly deal with it?

"There's no need for me to worry unnecessarily. The Penglai Immortal Island has already built its foundation to the heavens. If the sky were to fall, they would be the first to hold it up. I don't believe that they only have one old god in their family!"

Turn your attention to the newly acquired Taotie Dao pattern.

[Taoist Pattern Name: Taotie Taoist Pattern]

[Brief Introduction: Omitted.]

[Rank: Lower Five Elders]

[Current completeness: 100%]

[Current Rank: Rank 4 (The power rank is determined by the host's cultivation level. Considering the host's current mana, spiritual sense, physical body, and blood, the highest power that can be used is Rank 4. In the future, as the cultivation level increases, the power will gradually increase, with a maximum of Rank 6.)]

[Ability (All abilities are unlocked due to complete mastery of this Dao rune; power is limited to Tier 4) 1: Devouring Heaven and Earth, can condense a gluttonous maw with magical power to devour the sea and land, and transform all things into its own power.]

[Ability Two: Gluttonous Intuition. Gluttons are insatiable, and within a certain range, they can sense things useful to them through their gluttonous intuition.]

[Ability Three: Nine-Son Dragon Ship. The dragon has nine sons, stirring up waves across the four seas. Mastering the Taotie Dao Pattern allows one to construct the Taotie Dragon Ship, one of the nine son dragon ships, possessing the power of a fourth-tier treasure ship, capable of rivaling Nascent Soul cultivators within the seas!]

[Ability Four: Taotie Dharma Form, possessing complete Dao patterns, can use these patterns to condense the Taotie Dharma Form, which does not conflict with one's original Dharma Form.] [Ability Five: Taotie Bloodlust, possessing complete Dao patterns, can perfectly simulate the mythical beast Taotie, transforming into its form, with a 30% increase in Qi and Blood (all nine Dao patterns can amplify the Qi and Blood of physical cultivators, and the effects can be stacked.)]

[Sixth Ability: Dao Pattern Dragon Might. The Taotie Dao Pattern possesses some attributes of the True Dragon Dao Pattern, and can manifest a portion of the True Dragon's might. It has a suppressive effect on beings below the True Dragon level, and is particularly effective against sea beasts.]

[Seventh Ability: Dao Demon. The Taotie Dao Pattern can transform into evil demons such as the Western Sea Giant Demon, while the orthodox Dao Pattern can utilize the flesh and blood of enemy cultivators to create Dao Demons for your use. The current maximum is the creation of fourth-tier Dao Demons.]

"There are seven abilities in total, and each one is extremely remarkable. This makes me even more interested in the other six pirate king ships that are still on Langya Immortal Island!"

However, the Taotie was deliberately abandoned in Shipwreck Bay because of that old aunt's incompetence. Without him as the captain, this treasure ship could only display two or three tenths of its power under Ning Chengke's command, making it easy to deal with.

The six pirate kingships on Langya Immortal Island are a different story. With their captains driving at full speed, even if I possessed the Taotie Dao Pattern and, together with the Bixi from Dragon Island and a host of puppets, I would still find it difficult to deal with them!

Su Qing knew perfectly well that although his Dragon Island Bixi was named after the Bixi, the main material used to create this treasure ship puppet was the Yunshan Treasure Hall left behind by the Yunshan Old Evil, not the Five Elders' Dao Pattern Bixi Dao Pattern. If you don't count the many puppets he arranged on the Dragon Island Bixi, in terms of the treasure ship itself, the Dragon Island Bixi, with only the abilities of Turtle Speed ​​Divine Light and Back Mountain Supporting Land, is no match for these Nine Sons Dragon Ships!
"Let's think optimistically. Perhaps by the time I reach Langya Immortal Island, those six pirate king factions will already be dealt with?"

Suppressing his covetousness for the pirate king's ship, he turned his gaze back to the Taotie, which had turned over a new leaf.

Its prow resembled a sheep's head, and its hull resembled a dragon's body. Its overall form was no longer as disgusting as before, resembling a writhing worm. Instead, it looked like an ancient mythical beast that had been resurrected. Although it had lost its previous ferocity and malevolence, the dragon's might it exuded was vast and majestic, making it even more imposing and grand.

After inspecting the facilities on the Fan Taotie, Su Qing planned to move the spirit cannons seized from Shipwreck Bay onto this ship, and then take out some stockpiled spirit explosion cannons, giant bear generals, deep-water tyrants and other puppets from his storage bag to arm this ship. At that time, the power of this ship would far surpass that of the other nine dragon ships. With the help of the Bixi from Dragon Island, not to mention anything else, in terms of firepower, it would definitely be able to compete with the other six nine dragon ships.

Sitting cross-legged in the newly renovated captain's cabin, Su Qing took advantage of the ship owners dividing up the spoils of war to imprint the Taotie Dao pattern onto his body.

This was the first time he had mastered a complete Dao pattern, and it was even the Five Elders Dao pattern. The process of refining it was much more difficult than before.

Even though his physical body and blood have now been nurtured to a level that ordinary third-level body cultivators can hardly match, he is still suffering greatly from the backlash when he failed to refine himself into a puppet using the Taotie Dao Pattern.

But the result was gratifying.

With the Dao patterns imprinted on his body, he could control them as easily as using his own limbs, further enhancing their power.

With his first imprint, his proficiency reached 53% (fourth rank). He estimated that with another hundred or two hundred years of practice, he could leap to the fifth rank.

In addition, having the complete Five Elders Dao Mark imprinted on his body further enhanced his spiritual root and physical aptitude, which had not seen significant improvement for a long time.

It should be noted that since he regained his Star Sun Spiritual Root and All-Circle Root Bone, his aptitude has been at the upper-middle level. In all the years he has lived in Wanghai, he has never seen a cultivator with his aptitude. Even those Nascent Soul True Persons are far inferior to him.

With such exceptional talent from the Western Paradise, if one wishes to take another small step forward, even the incomplete version of the Four Imperial Lotus Seal that was previously obtained could not achieve this.

"Does this mean I'll only be able to cultivate at a speed a hundred or a thousand times faster than ordinary cultivators, and spend the rest of my life with unparalleled talent among those of the same level?"

Su Qing had doubted herself before, feeling that her talent had no chance of improvement and that she could only stagnate and remain an unknown top cultivation prodigy in the West Sea.

Unexpectedly, the complete Five Elders Dao Patterns brought him such a pleasant surprise.

With the Taotie Dao Mark imprinted on his body, his spiritual root aptitude has improved, transforming from Star Sun Spiritual Root (Upper-Middle Grade) to Heavenly Sun Star Lord (Upper-High Grade)

[With the Taotie Daoist pattern branded on its body, and the Quanxing Furnace Lid benefiting from the Taotie Daoist pattern, its inherent qualities have been further enhanced. Current quality: Top-grade.]

His spiritual roots and physical constitution have improved further, his magical power and blood energy are even more abundant, and he can use all kinds of Taoist arts and combat skills to a higher level than before.

The most obvious improvement is to his natal Dao pattern, the Fearless Dao Pattern. After the Quanxing Furnace Lid was also blessed by the Taotie Dao Pattern, the power of this natal Dao Pattern also increased dramatically. Su Qing even felt that if he could get some more complete Five Elders Dao Patterns, his natal Dao Pattern might be able to be upgraded to the Four Emperors.

"The integrity of the Puppet Immortal has also increased to 9.16%, but the increase is not as high as that of the incomplete Lotus Seal. This is obviously because the difference in their status is too great. In fact, most of the improvement in my physical and spiritual aptitude comes from the Lotus Seal!"
Just like the story of the eighteenth steamed bun that filled one's stomach, the Taotie Dao Pattern was the eighteenth. After eating it, my root bones and spiritual roots broke through the barrier, and I mistakenly thought it was all thanks to the Taotie Dao Pattern. In reality, the Lotus Birth Seal was the seventeen steamed buns that filled my stomach before.

After marveling at the power of the Four Imperial Dao Patterns and dealing with the Taotie, the largest asset in Shipwreck Bay, Su Qing slowly stepped off the ship and sent his divine sense to various parts of Shipwreck Bay.

The various ship owners and their puppet subordinates dispersed in an orderly manner to confiscate the pirates' assets for their own enrichment.

He didn't need to worry about this. With the eavesdropping Wood Spirit watching over him and the help of Xiong Er Huodan, nothing good on this island could escape his grasp.

His gaze fell on the talisman held in the hands of the ship owner overlooking the sea.

The talisman looked ordinary. Although it had some spiritual power, it was at most a first or second rank. Otherwise, Xiong Er would not have let it fall into someone else's hands.

However, Su Qing, who had just obtained the Taotie Dao Pattern and gained the Taotie Intuition, and had similar abilities to his seventeenth brother in the past, inexplicably felt that this talisman was extremely useful to him, and was the most valuable item in this Shipwreck Bay besides the Taotie Ship!
Without any hesitation, he moved and landed next to the ship owner holding the talisman.

This was also an acquaintance, Yao Guangquan, who used to travel all over the country with Rao Tingshan, became gambling buddies with Xiong Er, and had a five-year-old son whom he hadn't seen for three years.

Yao Guangquan was excited at the moment. As a Foundation Establishment cultivator and a third-tier captain, he had not made any significant contributions in the middle and later stages of this great battle. At least he was not as outstanding as Li Kuishan, the veteran captain who rammed a third-tier pirate ship with the Serpent Dragon.

But in the early stages of the war, he did a great job in vision control, giving the Wanghai fleet a direct view to the shipwreck bay, which enabled the later stages of the war when Master Liaode led Li Kuishan and other body cultivators to cooperate with the main fleet from the inside and outside, resulting in a great victory for the pirates who were caught off guard.

"To be honest, it's much more comfortable to work under Master Su. There are very few times when you really have to work hard. And the rewards for your contributions are real. With my little contribution, I can freely choose one third-tier treasure material and more than twenty first and second-tier spiritual treasures and artifacts. I couldn't earn that much in a day if I worked my whole life at Yuanlai Tower!"

You can't make a fortune by working. Holding the second-tier talisman painting depicting the green waters of Mount Dai, Yao Guangquan was grateful to Master Su for being such a good leader, and also grateful that he had followed Master Su to work for him early on, instead of working for Yuanlai Tower for the rest of his life.

Just then, he saw Master Su land in front of him.

From afar, he appears as a dragon among men; up close, he seems like an immortal descended to earth, possessing an indescribable air of otherworldly grace that captivates all who behold him.

While Yao Guangquan was impressed by the Master's demeanor, he bowed perfectly and respectfully addressed Master Su:
"What brings you here, Master? If there is anything I, Yao Guangquan, can do, please ask. I, Yao Guangquan, would dare not fail to serve you to the death!"

Although he didn't understand why Master Su wanted to find him, a minor cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, he knew that there was almost nothing he could do to help Master Su. But whether he could help Master Su was not important; what mattered was whether he had the will. This would determine the breadth and width of his future path.

His statement has indeed paved the way for his future.

"It's Fellow Daoist Yao. Back then, we were in the same boat, riding the Digging Dragon together to Wanghai. I was deeply impressed by you. Later, you were the first among the rogue cultivators of Wanghai to respond to the call and join my Wanghai Fleet. You also went on several missions with me. Today, you have made great contributions again."

In my opinion, it's time for you to move up in position. After I return to Wanghai this time, I plan to reorganize the Wanghai Fleet into groups, and I think you have the potential to be the leader of the Jiaolong Group!

Su Qing had a good impression of Yao Guangquan. She thought that if she didn't have a puppet panel and her talent was as ordinary as Guangquan's, she would eventually end up like Guangquan in the cultivation world.
It doesn't matter if you have ordinary talent, as long as you have a good attitude and know how to get along with people. The most important thing is to know how to follow the right mentor!
Good brother, that is, Su Qing, I really don't mind giving him a ride!
His words immediately delighted Yao Guangquan. Don't underestimate the group leader. The Wanghai Fleet currently has twelve Jiaolong ships, all of which are third-tier treasure ships. The Jiaolong group leader controls this force. Not to mention anything else, in this Western Sea, apart from a few forces such as Penglai Thousand Islands, other forces really don't dare to be arrogant in front of him!
What pleased him even more was that Su Qing's praise had been heard by all the cultivators present. They all knew that Yao Guangquan had a past relationship with Master Su. Even if he didn't use this relationship to seek benefits for himself in the future, the sensible cultivators in Wanghai would still look at him with more respect because of this!
Overjoyed, Yao Guangquan was at a loss for words to respond to Master Su. He could only repeat that his contribution was nothing and that Master Su was the real key to victory, among other meaningless remarks.

This made Su Qing feel that this person was inferior to herself. He had no shame in taking advantage of the situation. Even if she didn't have the puppet panel and her talent was mediocre, she would definitely do better than him.

After giving Guangquan a few more words of encouragement and casually mentioning that the landscape in the talisman was quite nice, Yao Guangquan immediately handed the talisman to him.

After Su Qing left, Yao Guangquan was in a daze for a moment before suddenly snapping out of it and saying:

"That's it! No wonder Master Su is so busy. How could he have time to come looking for me? It must be because of that talisman. Is there some hidden secret in that talisman?"

Yao Guangquan slapped his thigh. Although he knew it was unlikely that all the talismans in Shipwreck Bay contained hidden secrets, he thought he might as well give it a try. Maybe he could find something useful.

Next, Yao Guangquan chose talismans for all the remaining first and second tier items. Perhaps it was his turn to find something unexpected today. Although he no longer had the landscape talisman from before, he found a damaged third tier talisman among the first and second tier talismans, which made others envious.

Inside the Bixi (a mythical tortoise-like creature) on Dragon Island, Su Qing played with the landscape talisman in her hand.

The painting's mystery cannot be discerned with the naked eye. I've tried all sorts of unorthodox methods, such as soaking it in water or burning it with fire, but to no avail.

Just as he was wondering if his gluttonous intuition was wrong.

Suddenly, he felt a sense of déjà vu about the landscape in the painting, so he summoned Tiger Egg. Tiger Egg immediately pointed to a glimpse of mountains and rivers in the landscape painting and said:

"These mountains and rivers are just like those in the painting 'The Heavenly Sword Crossing the West'!"

Yes!

It's from the painting "Crossing the Heavenly Sword to the West"!

Back then, the sword cultivator from the Eastern Wilderness sent the Seven Swords of Tianshan to the Western Sea. During his journey across the rivers and lakes, a master of talisman painting once incorporated the sword and the man into a painting of mountains and rivers, which resulted in the third-tier talisman painting, the Heavenly Sword Crossing the West. This also led to the sword cultivator's later transmission of his true essence to Tiger Egg.

In recent years, in order to raise Hu Dan's sword realm to a higher level, Su Qing wanted Hu Dan to emulate that sword cultivator from the Eastern Wilderness and follow his old path.

But no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't find the mountains and rivers of yesteryear. It was as if these mountains and rivers had been erased by humankind!
"It wasn't erased by someone, but rather taken away by this painting!"

Su Qing abruptly stood up, for after realizing the painting was extraordinary, he donned the tiger-egg ornament and used his "Insight of Truth" to examine it again, only then discovering its true mystery! (End of Chapter)
