Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Since ancient times, no one has escaped death, but the Fire Crow Immortal does not wish to die.

As the shield of the Heavenly Roc, it was fully aware of the fate that awaited it.

But alas, Tianpeng had his fate in his grasp, and he could only watch helplessly as the cannonball grew larger and larger before his eyes, until it shattered his crow-headed head into dust.

At that moment, Fire Crow Master deliberately detonated most of his remaining body, a self-destructive act, willing to sacrifice his physical body to escape Tianpeng's control.

The black fire crow spirit, clutching its unbreakable beak, slipped back into the Penglai army camp in the blink of an eye before True King Tianpeng could react.

Upon landing here, his earlier expression of terror vanished instantly, replaced by a fierce and violent gaze fixed on True King Tianpeng, who was still trapped within the apricot-yellow flagpole's domain.

"Kill him! Kill him now! I can't vent my anger until he's dead!"

For True Man Fire Crow, the hatred of losing his virginity was no less than the hatred of killing his father. He had been bullied by Tianpeng when he was all alone, but now that he was surrounded by people, he was determined to get revenge.

"The physical collapse of True Immortal Fire Crow is more important than whether his Fire Crow beak can still be used."

Liu Feng turned to the side and asked, his gaze lingering on the crow's beak held in the Fire Crow's primordial spirit's hand.

"Of course I can use it! This Fire Crow's Beak has long been refined into a spiritual artifact by me. Even without a physical body, I can still use it with my primordial spirit!"

The Fire Crow Master said proudly that, to him, the most valuable part of the physical body was the Fire Crow's beak. As long as he had the Fire Crow's beak, even if he lost his physical body and could not bear children for the Huang family, he would not lack food. He was more than qualified to be a formation-breaking master.

Liu Feng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. If Master Huoya's crow beak could no longer be used, he would have to find another way to break the formation, which would take up a lot of time.

Raising the lock-on cannon, at the same time, high in the sky, in the cloud-covered heavens controlled by Penglai, streaks of azure blue cannon muzzles emerged, their barrels filled with starlight, all locking onto the True King Tianpeng.

But then came the continuous booming of cannons, which almost shattered the space where the true king Tianpeng was located into pieces.

"With our limited authority, we can't use the Super Star Orbiter Cannon too many times. Just this once, in conjunction with the Headlock Cannon, we'll drive back this True King Tianpeng!"

Liu Feng felt a pang of regret. As a powerful tool for Penglai to control the heavens, the Star Orbit Cannon series, updated and iterated by generations of Penglai cultivators, was undoubtedly powerful, but its consumption was also astonishing. Even a wealthy place like Penglai could not use it casually.

This time, he only mobilized a dozen or so super-star orbital cannons near this location. A single salvo would have consumed as many as 100,000 spirit stones. If it weren't for the fact that True King Tianpeng was really difficult to deal with, he would never have been willing to spend so much.

"He's not dead yet? You just drove him away? You just let him go like that, instead of sending some people to surround and kill him? You've offended Penglai, and you still let him come and go freely. If word gets out, where will Penglai's face be? How will outsiders view us in the future? How will we face the outside world in the future!"

Fire Crow is a demon, not a human, but his sense of honor for Penglai is higher than anyone else's. His actions against True King Tianpeng are not only to avenge the loss of his body, but also for the sake of Penglai. If Penglai loses face, how can it have face in the outside world if it relies on its master's power?

Upon hearing this, Liu Feng said coldly, "If True Person Fire Crow is still not satisfied, I can mobilize a group of men to lead the team to capture that Tianpeng. I wonder what True Person thinks!"

"Oh, who are you talking about? Me? I can't do it!"

Upon hearing that he was to be sent to fight, Huoya Zhenren, who had just been blasted apart by Zhenwang Tianpeng, immediately cowered and could only watch helplessly as Zhenwang Tianpeng transformed into a blur, flying out of sight amidst sparks and lightning.

With Tianpeng gone, Liu Feng turned his gaze to Langya Immortal Island again, as if he knew that without Tianpeng's obstruction, the Two Elements Star Array could no longer stop True Person Huoya. Tong Laodao's Dharma Image slowly retreated back to Langya Immortal Island, and he did not throw out any more talismans to try to resist.

Liu Feng dared not underestimate his opponent, so he had a fourth-tier array master who had come with the army plant a flag to cheer on Huo Ya Zhenren, so that Huo Ya Zhenren, who had lost his physical body and armor and was traumatized by the attack, would have the courage to fight again.

Having mentally prepared himself, Fire Crow approached the great formation with his beak tucked in, suspicious and apprehensive. At the slightest movement, he hesitated to move forward, fearing another sneak attack from the Heavenly Roc. As a result, what should have been an instant journey took him half an hour to complete.

Perhaps Tianpeng was frightened by the previous artillery barrage, or perhaps the price Tong Laodao offered Tianpeng was only enough for Tianpeng to do his bidding once. In any case, this time, Huoya Zhenren broke through the Yin-Yang Star Array without any serious injury.

The moment the great formation collapsed, Liu Feng, who had been unable to contain himself any longer, waved his hand and ordered the entire army to attack, intending to quickly take control of Langya Immortal Island.

One after another, cloud-dragon spaceships descended from the sky, like locusts passing by or heavenly soldiers descending to earth, swarming towards Langya Immortal Island.

These spaceships are branded with various mythical beasts. At a glance, one can recognize the images of mythical beasts such as Guiche, Zaochi, Henggongyu, Zhujian, Citie, Jiaoduan, and Tiangou. They are the unique series of mythical beast treasure ships of Penglai Immortal Kingdom. These treasure ships are all branded with mythical beast runes and have third or fourth-order power. They can simulate the power of mythical beasts and are capable of going anywhere in the sky and sea. Moreover, like living beings, they can repair themselves as long as they have not suffered fatal damage.

At the center of the divine beast spaceship, there are two fourth-tier dwelling houses that resemble celestial palaces and temples. These dwelling houses are different from the ones Huang Song used in the past. Huang Song was only a Golden Core cultivator at that time. Even though he was a second-generation cultivator, due to the limitations of his own strength, the equipment in the dwelling house could not be fully equipped for him. The power he could exert was far less than the two dwelling houses now controlled by Huang Li and Huo Ya Zhenren.

Between these two dwellings stands the Celestial God, controlled by Liu Feng. It is like a towering, armored deity standing proudly in the heavens, commanding its heavenly soldiers and generals, and looking down upon and influencing the fate of mortals.

"Don't panic, don't be afraid. Although the Penglai Heavenly Soldiers are strong, which of you fellow Daoists here isn't a hero? How can you be easily frightened by them!"
Rest assured, everyone. You have come to this immortal island because of me, Tong Chang, and I, Tong Chang, have always kept your lives in mind. In this great battle, I do not ask you to sacrifice your lives for the immortal island. I only ask that you do your best to hold them off. If the enemy is too fierce, you may retreat if you can. I will not blame you. As for the benefits I promised you, I will give them to you in full if I survive today.

Now, let us show these Penglai Heavenly Soldiers the skills of us rogue cultivators, just as we have arranged beforehand!

"Grandma Xu, Madam, please, both of you, begin with your methods!"

Inside Langya Immortal Island, Tong Chang gathered all the comrades he had invited from outside. After reassuring these mercenaries, he began to deal with the long-awaited army from Penglai as planned. "Madam, please wait a moment. I am old and my eyesight is failing. It may take some time to produce this Heavenly Cloth!"

With her back hunched and her hair white as silver, Granny Xu did not flinch as she faced the overwhelming army of Penglai. Her wrinkled face, marked with deep ravines, visibly became rosy after she slowly took out a white bone needle from the red pouch at her waist. Her white hair turned black, and the old woman transformed into a young girl.

The girl raised her hands to weave cloth, using the witch's bone as a needle and the clouds as thread. Just as the Penglai army was about to land, a cloth curtain was instantly formed above Langya Immortal Island.

To the cultivators of Penglai, Langya Immortal Island, which had been exposed with its backside half-exposed after the great formation was broken, was now covered by a thin veil, making it difficult to see the situation on the ground.

After they entered the woven fabric, they felt something different, as if they had fallen into a blank world, cut off from the outside world. The sky was empty, the ground was empty, and there was only desolation, like a blank sheet of paper.

The cannons of the mythical beast spaceship stood upright and unleashed their fire at the white cloth-like sky and earth, but it seemed as if they were hitting cotton in the air, having no effect whatsoever.

In fact, it does have some effect.

Liu Feng, who was overseeing the battle from outside the island, was piloting the Heavenly God. His eyes, as large as red stars, seemed to have the ability to see through everything. In the instant that the Weaving Cloth was formed, he discovered the truth of the technique.

"Weaving the Heavenly Cloth, Mending the Heavens, the methods of the Snail Emperor Palace? This person is clearly a member of the Jiuli tribe, how could he have joined the Snail Emperor Palace? That makes sense, the Ancient Snail Emperor Palace cooperates and befriends the Celestial Master's Mansion to curb the power of gods, demons and monsters in the human world, and now that the Celestial Master's Ruins have appeared, the Celestial Master's Puppet and the Snail Emperor Palace are involved again, it is only natural!"

However, she was ultimately a member of the Jiuli tribe. Even if she had entered the Snail Emperor's Palace by chance, the Heaven-Mending Technique she obtained would only contain the methods of the Spirit Sewing Master. Without the assistance of other Snail Emperor's wondrous arts, this Heaven-Weaving Cloth would be merely a facade, lacking the power to differentiate and fuse all things. Therefore, the energy it could bear would inevitably be limited!

Liu Feng analyzed the situation silently, made a calm judgment, and then shouted loudly to the cultivators of Penglai below:

"Stay calm! Don't fire indiscriminately. Concentrate your firepower on one spot. Once you break a hole, this cloth will be torn!"

The Penglai cultivators, following orders without question, ceased their previous meaningless probing attacks after being reminded by Liu Feng. They deployed their spaceships, unleashed their magic cannons, and used Taoist arts and magical artifacts, unleashing a barrage of firepower upon the white expanse of the earth's center.

The white clouds were scorched, and the bone needles were quenched red. It seemed only a matter of time before the thin, woven fabric of the sky was violently pierced through!
"Without comprehending the mysteries of creation, it will be difficult to fight against high-level cultivators. Madam, please act quickly. My Heavenly Cloth alone cannot hold these high-level cultivators of Penglai for too long!"

Granny Xu, whose white hair had turned black, moved her hands like butterflies fluttering, and threw out hundreds of fine bone needles to sew and mend the woven cloth.

They're bombarding one side and repairing the other; for now, they can barely hold on.

But a group of strong young men were bullying Granny Xu, an old woman. Even though Granny Xu's white hair turned black and she unleashed a burst of energy, she was still no match for them.

I didn't intend to leave Grandma Xu to shoulder the burden alone.

With the Two Elements Star Array broken, according to Master Tong's plan, the reinforcements from Langya Island will only serve to hold them off and delay them. They only need to hold off the Penglai army for a few more days until Su Qing arrives with the Wanghai fleet.

This important task will not be left to Granny Xu alone.

Born into a cursed spirit tribe in the Eastern Wilderness, she has always restrained the urge to use the abilities of the blood patterns on her body. Instead, she has made progress in the study of spirit sewing. Since becoming a second-tier spirit sewing master, she has traveled all over the Eastern Wilderness. In addition to using her spirit sewing skills to perform tasks such as suturing the wounded, she has done more to sew up the remains of the dead whose bodies are incomplete, so that their souls can rest in peace and eliminate the hidden danger of them turning into evil.

The rewards included animal meat and spiritual herbs, but more often than not, nothing at all. The Eastern Wilderness was not like the Western Sea; the barren mountains and wilderness produced scarce resources, which human cultivators had to compete with demons for. It was already difficult for the living to have enough to eat, let alone give too much to the dead.

If the reward is less than what is given, but one can persevere day after day, year after year, then one can be called a good person. Her good reputation spread far and wide, and she went from being a fairy to being an old woman. When her lifespan was about to end due to the limitations of her cultivation, a beautiful female cultivator in palace attire, as graceful as a goddess, suddenly found her.

Regardless of her identity as a member of the Jiuli tribe, she was taught the Snail Emperor's Secret Technique and provided with rare resources she had never heard of before. During the hundred years she cultivated by her master's side, under his careful guidance, she advanced from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core, extending her lifespan by several thousand years. After bidding farewell to her master, she cultivated the Spirit Stitching Master to the fourth level.

After her master parted ways with her, he disappeared without a trace and was rarely seen. However, more than a hundred years ago, her master sent her a message in a dream, saying that if anyone in the Western Sea asked her for help, she should come to the Western Sea to assist them.

Therefore, as soon as Master Tong sent the message, she rushed to his aid. Unlike other outside helpers who were half-hearted and always ready to switch sides, Granny Xu obeyed her master's orders and truly did her best to help Master Tong this time. She even risked being discovered by the sea witch deep in the West Sea by stimulating her own blood essence and relying on the power of blood patterns.

Even with all her might, she could not withstand the army of Penglai.

Only this Lady Lanxiang was able to cooperate with her, displaying an ability that even Liu Feng, who could see through the illusion, could not easily deal with!

Now the world knows that there is a Taoist master named Kui Tong on Langya Island. He is a Taoist master whose skills are astounding and whose name is comparable to those of immortals and gods. He is a remnant of an ancient Taoist master.

Few people know that Lady Lanxiang is also one of the methods left behind by the ancient Celestial Master. Although the Celestial Master Puppet is a method of the Ancestral Celestial Master and is slightly stronger than the Man in the Painting, the Locust Tree Branch, and the Heart-Severing Gu, each Celestial Master had their own strengths in ancient times and had earth-shattering and ghost-weeping abilities in their respective fields. The methods they left behind were also unique.

Lady Lanxiang is not comparable to the Ancient Celestial Master; she does not possess earth-shattering, ghost-weeping abilities. However, when she displays her methods, she lets the world know that the reason why she, Lanxiang, was able to serve as the wife of two island lords and hold power in Langya for so many years is not simply because she entertains people with her beauty.

But then he appeared, transforming into a rainbow of smoke, which splashed onto the vast white fabric of the sky like paint.

Granny Xu uses the sky as her canvas, but weaving this canvas is not the main focus; it is merely a canvas that allows Lady Lanxiang to be depicted.

Lady Lanxiang used her body as a canvas, conjuring palaces, pavilions, and sentient beings within the woven fabric of heaven. A vast, white expanse of sky was transformed into a completely different world in an instant! (End of Chapter)
