Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Who asked me to make the decision?
I'll stand up for you.

What a joke!
"Where do you get these words, Master Su? Master Su's abilities far surpass mine now. If there is anything that Master Su cannot handle, then I am powerless to help. However, given the relationship between Master Su and my Demonic Sect, if Master Su needs us for some minor matters, it is our duty to provide support and assistance."

Seeing Su Qing bow to him, Shi Lijing felt a sense of trepidation.

His past misdeeds are nothing to boast about. Su Qing, who was just a Foundation Establishment kid back then, is now a fourth-level Nascent Soul cultivator with many soldiers and generals under his command, as well as many ships and cannons. In this part of the Western Sea, his words carry more weight than those of Su Qing, the sect leader of the Demonic Sect!
Does he want to make decisions for himself?

How could that be a small matter?

Shi Lijing knew the true strength of the Demonic Sect, but as a Nascent Soul cultivator, he was the mainstay. Although the Demonic Sect disciples had been connected to the Underworld, and their cultivation was aided by divine intervention, they still needed time to grow. Right now, dealing with the attack from the Pingxi Martial Kingdom was already quite difficult, and he dared not cause any more trouble. Su Qing, on the other hand, was someone who could cause trouble, so Shi Lijing was naturally cautious in his words, afraid of being led astray by her.

"I am well aware of the difficulties faced by Sect Master Shi. The Pingxi Wu Kingdom has invaded the border of my Western Sea on a fabricated pretext. I have long been displeased with them. Once the internal strife in my Western Sea is quelled, I will have my elder brother Erqiang lead a large army to help Sect Master Shi take down the Pingxi Wu Kingdom."

Right now, it is certain that the Earth Demon Heaven is colluding with the Demon Buddha. He is already a fifth-order deity and has been running the Evil Kingdom for a long time. His faith and incense offerings far surpass those of my eldest brother, Erqiang. I fear that my eldest brother will not be able to defeat him and will be able to break through the Sea of ​​Hope and connect the land and sea evil passages. At that time, he will join forces with the Demon Buddha, and my Western Sea will be plunged into a crisis of devastation!

This is a matter of life and death. My elder brother Erqiang and my junior Su Qing cannot be relied upon. Only the overlord of the Western Sea, the Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom, may be able to lend us a hand. If we attack from both sides, east and west, there is a possibility of annihilating that Earth Demon Evil Kingdom!

"I am begging the sect leader to intervene, not for my own sake, but for the sake of the dawn of the Western Sea!"

Su Qing's expression was solemn. He stepped forward and spoke loudly, holding in his hand the remains of the Cloud Heaven Ancient Tree, so that all the forces gathered in the Western Sea would know that what he said was true.

The demons have rebelled!
The Western Sea is about to descend into chaos!

There are also differences between fifth-order gods!

If it were a divine being, Xi Fang would receive a decree from the Celestial Master and obtain a fifth-order divine rune, thus ascending to godhood in one fell swoop, saving time and effort. However, among the creatures of the Western Sea, very few know their divine names now, let alone believe in their divine power.

They need a long process to accumulate believers before they can unleash the true divine power of a fifth-order deity.

Even the Second Strong, after decades of building temples and offering incense, with Su Qing sending people to help spread his divine name and perform good deeds, has accumulated enough divine power to support him in helping his second brother defeat the Asura Ancient God. Any more than that, and the fuel in his tank will not be enough.

As for the Earth Demon Heaven, who doesn't know that within the Demon Tree Evil Kingdom, he raises a million evil cultivators, and countless beings worship him alone? Such incense offerings would make any fifth-order god envious, and would allow him to use his divine power to condense three divine techniques after ascending to godhood, leaving them for the Treasure Elephant Bodhisattva to seize the divine runes.

Some people are born in Rome, and so are some gods.

Having enjoyed incense offerings for many years in the Demon Tree Evil Kingdom, the Earth Demon Heaven, upon ascending to godhood, became a peak fifth-order god. His strength far surpassed that of gods like Gao Erqiang and Ying Jue Shen, who lacked foundation and resources.

Now that its relationship with the Demon Buddha has been exposed, Su Qing suspects that the Demon Tree Evil Kingdom may already be mobilizing a large army to try to break through Wanghai and join forces with the evil spirits of the Western Sea.

When that time comes, the evil spirits of the Western Sea will land on the shore. The two evil spirits will join forces and from Wanghai to the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range, all the immortal cultivation kingdoms in this area will be unable to escape the disaster and remain unscathed!

Shi Lijing knew how serious the consequences would be, and he also knew that Su Qing's words were not without reason.

but.

“Master Su, with your abilities, in conjunction with that Lantern Monster... no, I mean the God of Punishment and Slaughter, you can launch an offensive against the Demon Tree Evil Kingdom. Therefore, it is the divine domain of the Earth Demon Heaven. Within the divine domain, its believers are indestructible and its divine power is inexhaustible. Master Su and the God of Punishment and Slaughter may not be able to defeat it.”

"But if we merely hold our ground at Wanghai, with your combined abilities, even the Earth Demon Heaven wouldn't be able to do anything to Wanghai. The so-called story of the Earth Demon Heaven breaking through Wanghai shouldn't happen, much less warrant my Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom sending people to help?"

Shi Lijing spoke respectfully, gazing enviously at the sea below.

There, eight majestic dragon boats and hundreds of third-tier treasure ships fluttered their banners. Such a spectacle would have no problem isolating the forces of the Demon Buddha from landing in the waters near Wanghai.

The threat at sea can be resolved by Wang Hai, and the threat on land from Di Mo Tian is not difficult for Gao Erqiang and Su Qing to defend their territory. The situation does not seem as difficult as their Desire Immortal Kingdom's resistance against the Pingxi Martial Kingdom, and it is certainly not to the point that they need the help of their Desire Immortal Kingdom!
"What Master Shi said is wrong. I am not a person of Wanghai. How can I stay in Wanghai for the rest of my life?"

As the saying goes, "Two tigers cannot share one mountain." Before my brother and I ascended to godhood, I, a humble Taoist, protected Wang Hai for a while, out of consideration for the hardships faced by Wang Hai's cultivators and out of fear that they might be harmed by demons and evil spirits.

Now that my brother and I have ascended to godhood, there is no place for me in Wanghai. My future path still lies in this vast Western Sea, and I will not return to Wanghai this time.

That's why I'm so worried about Wang Hai. I hope that in my absence, Master Shi and the Demon Sect can help my two brothers to become stronger!

Su Qing bluntly stated that Wanghai Immortal City offered him little benefit; its main advantage was that the industrial layout was already established, and he could simply sit back and collect the profits. He had initially been worried about his two brothers, fearing that after he left, they would disregard brotherly duty and try to take over and suppress his businesses. However, after Ying Jueshen obtained the fifth-order divine rune within the Celestial Master Ruins, he felt reassured as Ying Jueshen had been able to restrain the two brothers.

He spoke up now because he was afraid that the Earth Demon Heaven and the Demon Buddha would collude to attack Wanghai and destroy its infrastructure and his Su Qing's businesses. That's why he wanted the Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom to raise its voice and unite with the immortal kingdoms in the western sea and Wanghai Immortal City to strike first and set up the battlefield in the Demon Tree Evil Kingdom!
"So, Master Su is worried about Wang Hai, but he doesn't intend to contribute himself and wants my Desire Immortal Kingdom to provide manpower and resources?"

Shi Lijing gasped, finally understanding why Su Qing had risen to prominence so quickly!
With such shamelessness, how could they not rise to prominence so quickly!
I was really impressed by your passionate speech and your concern for the common people. I thought you were virtuous and enlightened. But I never expected that you would just pass the trouble to others and leave them, the Desire Immortal Kingdom, to fall into the quagmire of war!
"How can you think of me, Su Qing, like that? Am I the kind of person who only cares about my own pleasure and doesn't care about the lives of my brothers?"
"Sect Master, rest assured, I, Su Qing, will not interfere in the affairs of the Demon Tree Evil Kingdom on land. However, I can leave the sea demons and evil forces belonging to the Western Sea Demon Buddha to me. I have my own methods to prevent any of these evil sea demons from landing and causing trouble!"

Su Qing said somewhat aggrievedly, and Shi Lijing thought her words were still somewhat reasonable. To be honest, the Earth Demon Heaven's collusion with the Demon Buddha was a major threat to his Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom.

In the past, when the Earth Demon Heaven was low-key and developing in a low-key manner, it was always an obstacle for his Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom to leave the inland and rush into the deep sea.

Now, this Earth Demon Heaven has completely abandoned his pretense and become a public enemy of human cultivators. He even possesses the power of a fifth-order deity. Not to mention that he has allied with the Demon Buddha, even if he had not allied with the Demon Buddha, if he were to attack the Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom, his Demon Tree Evil Kingdom alone would be enough!
Since the Demon Tree Evil Kingdom is also a major threat to the Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom, and Su Qing has made a promise that he will deal with the Demon Buddha forces at sea, and that he will act as a bridge to unite the Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom and the Wanghai Immortal City to fight against the Demon Tree Evil Kingdom, it is not impossible!
"Since Master Su alone can withstand the forces of the Demon Buddha, how can we not dare to face the Earth Demon Heaven? However, our Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom is currently dealing with the Pingxi Martial Kingdom, and cannot mobilize the entire sect. We can only send a portion of our forces to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Demon Tree Immortal Kingdom."

But Master Su rest assured, the Earth Demon's actions defy Heaven and incur the wrath of both gods and men. All the immortal kingdoms of the Western Sea will rise up against him. Once I return to my immortal kingdom, I will invite the Fire Phoenix Immortal Kingdom, the Earth Treasury Buddha Kingdom, and other immortal kingdoms to join forces and launch a fierce offensive against the Demon Tree Evil Kingdom to the east!

"Master, rest assured, exorcising evil spirits is the very foundation of our Fulong Temple. I will immediately send a message to my abbot, instructing him to fully cooperate with your actions!"

Master Liaode had been listening for a long time, and at this opportune moment, he spoke up, representing Fulong Temple, and joined the Western Sea Evil Suppression Alliance.

The senior monks of Fulong Temple possess powerful abilities to suppress and subdue evil spirits. With such strong support, Shi Lijing was naturally delighted and secretly pondered that, by taking advantage of this opportunity, his Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom might be able to unite the inland immortal kingdoms. At that time, whether it was to conquer the Central Plains Martial Kingdom in the east or to venture into the deep sea in the west, the Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom would be able to greatly expand its living space and would no longer be trapped in the inland of the Western Sea with no room to maneuver as it is now.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now. Once I'm ready, I'll take the heads of the various immortal kingdoms to discuss this with the God of Punishment and Slaughter."

"The matter is urgent and cannot be delayed. This sect leader should take his leave now. As for the kindness shown by True Person Su to my Desire Immortal Kingdom, given the relationship between our two families, this sect leader will certainly repay him properly in the future!"

Shi Lijing was indeed a cunning old fox. He used the conversation as an excuse to gloss over the benefits that should have been given to Su Qing, and then, with Shi Zhifang, Lü Wentian and the others were about to return to the Demon Kingdom.

To Su Qing's surprise, the witch Liu Yun'er also wanted to return with him.

The witch, dressed in white and red, revealed her wrists, which were as white as jade. The black and white yin-yang rings swayed gently, making a soothing sound.

Before Su Qing could dissuade him, the man simply turned around and smiled before drifting away with Shi Lijing and his group.

Su Qing stood there forlornly, knowing the witch's thoughts. This girl was born strong-willed, and since she hadn't been of much help to him in the Celestial Master's Ruins, she was unwilling to travel with him, fearing that she would become a burden to him.

Why bother with all this!
Given the current situation in the Western Sea interior, the Demon Sect will not be stable in the future. Su Qing is willing to let Shi Lijing and others risk their lives, but he is unwilling to let the Demoness risk her life. With her current cultivation level, she could be in danger of losing her life if she is not careful. Instead, she will follow Su Qing. With Su Qing's current ability, protecting her advancement to the Nascent Soul stage is not a problem.

In the past, after she advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, she could have given herself to him. Su Qing only took this as a joke and was not too concerned. He was only worried that the witch who had protected him when his cultivation was shallow might perish before he reached the Nascent Soul stage!
After much deliberation, he still couldn't put his mind at ease, so he sent out the four Void Lions to follow the witch. He figured that with these fourth-tier puppets protecting her, unless the Earth Demon Heaven personally attacked the witch, he wouldn't have to worry about her safety anymore.

As for whether the loss of the Void Four Lions, his life-saving puppet, will have any impact on him.

Su Qing counted the ghost and god masks in his storage bag, then looked at the Transformer beside him. He really didn't care at all. With his current abilities, he could go anywhere in this vast Western Sea!
There is still one matter that he needs to resolve.

To reassure Shi Lijing about sending troops, he promised to keep the Demon Buddha forces outside Wanghai.

It's not that Su Qing didn't have the ability to stop it.

The main problem is that if that's the case, Su Qing won't be able to do anything else in the future; he'll just be stuck in Wanghai, unable to move.
That won't do. He's had the Brilliant Stone mine in the far west for a long time, but he hasn't mined it yet. The sea witch has been hiding in the Evil God Realm for a long time, and he hasn't had time to farm it. But let's not talk about those for now. The tomb raiding hero Feng Bo'e is still waiting for him to rescue him in that sea cave.

A hidden dragon cannot remain in the abyss forever; a great man is busy with many things and must not let the gaze at the sea hold him back.

He still had to shift the blame to others for the demonic Buddha's forces.

At this time, Liu Feng, Zhao Zhengquan, and other Penglai cultivators, as well as the two brothers, Jianglong and Fuhu, from the Thousand Islands Immortal Kingdom, all felt that the matter here was settled and were preparing to lead their people back to their respective immortal kingdoms. The deceased cultivators needed to be compensated, and the newly appointed gods needed to have temples built. They also had many things to do.

"Please wait, everyone, I have a favor to ask of you!"

Fortunately, Su Qing called out in time; otherwise, if those people had slipped away, he wouldn't have been able to find anyone to take the blame for him.

"What else does Master Su have to say? Is it not enough that you stole one day's divine title from my Penglai? Do you want us to send you a few more?"

Still unable to forget his precious treasure, Liu Feng sneered at Su Qing with resentment.

"Really? Can you still deliver it?" Su Qing was delighted.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhengquan glared at Liu Feng again. Why are you telling him this? This guy is shameless. If you dare to say it, he'll actually agree!

"Given the kindness that Master Su has shown to my Penglai, it would be right to give him another Heavenly God's Armor. However, this Heavenly God's Armor is a modified version of a divine weapon. My Penglai puppeteers have only modified one so far, and Master Su has already stolen it. Now, even if we wanted to give Master Su another one, we would never be able to produce one!"

"Oh, since that's the case, then I'll owe you for now. The reason I came to find you this time isn't for the Heavenly God's Name, but to bestow upon you an extraordinary opportunity. Alas, why are the two True Immortals, Subduing Dragon and Tiger, leaving in such a hurry? Come back quickly! This opportunity also belongs to your Thousand Islands Immortal Kingdom, lest you later say that I, Su Qing, am biased and don't treat you Thousand Islands cultivators as brothers!"
