Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Dragon-people are the perfect creations of the true dragon and the human race. They not only make up for the long development cycle of the true dragon, but also possess the physical strength and innate comprehension of the true dragon.

As the king among the dragon people, Long Fengxian is not boasting, but since he advanced to the fourth rank, no creature on this island or in the nearby sea has been found that can withstand his full-force spear.

He was already that powerful before, but after he killed his entire clan and fell into demonic possession, he gained even more power from the demonic seed. With a single spear thrust, he should be able to kill gods and monsters alike, sweeping away everything in his path.

And the power of his shot was truly unparalleled.

The dragon-man, over a hundred feet tall, wielded a spear as imposing as a mountain, its immense spear force erupting forth like a true crimson-black dragon, sweeping away the several nunchaku tornadoes blocking Su Qing's path, intent on instantly killing this intrusive human cultivator who had arrived at such an inopportune time.

He started killing without a word. That guy was really reckless. Su Qing's Qilin Arm wouldn't tolerate him. He channeled his Mountain and Sea True Qi and threw a punch. It was as if a furious Qilin raised its head and stood on the sun, surrounded by fiery clouds and stars. Its power was so great that it even cleared a path through the lingering demonic clouds above the blood lake.

Fist clashed with gun.

Su Qingyi stood still, fists clenched and hands clasped behind his back, displaying the demeanor of a grandmaster.

The dragon-man's spear snapped, and he fell heavily to the ground, where he was then blown into black dust by the residual force of the punch.

One punch killed a fourth-tier demon.

Such achievements naturally astonished Tong Chang, who was slacking off among the puppets. This little brother Su Qing was extraordinary from the first time he met him in Yunshan, but he never expected that he would have reached such a level now.

"It's a pity that my skills are not good enough. If I could master the true art of geomancy, locating acupoints, and determining the dragon veins, I might be able to determine Fellow Daoist Su's destiny. I would like to see what kind of fate this person has, that his luck is so strong!"

Tong Chang said sourly, then suddenly his eyes widened and he shouted at Su Qing:
"Fellow Daoist Su, please wait! Demons are immortal and indestructible. Even if their bodies perish, their demonic seeds will remain. You must not get close to them, or you may be taken advantage of by the demonic seeds!"

Tong Chang's reminder was not without reason. Seeing Su Qing strolling towards the black mist left behind by the dragon-man demon, he was genuinely afraid that the demonic seed would rush into Su Qing's sea of ​​consciousness and plant a demonic seed in Su Qing as well.

He knew exactly who Su Qing was. Don't be fooled by her current high cultivation level and somewhat dignified appearance; she made her fortune using witch puppets, had extremely low moral standards, and possessed just as many weaknesses as Liang Haishun. She was a breeding ground for demonic seeds and could easily be taken advantage of by them.

However, Su Qing ignored Tong Chang's reminder.

It's not that he's incredibly brave and insists on challenging his own weaknesses.

He had enough trump cards, and believed that even if the demonic seed he had destroyed with a single punch had some mysterious aspects, it was still no match for him.

As he strolled closer to the demon seed, the high-ranking Buddhist monks in his storage bag were already working, striking the wooden fish.

Just in case, he also changed into the Buddha's relic and, as a Buddhist master, had a second conversation with the demon.

This demon seed was truly stupid. Seeing Su Qing arrive with Buddhist light and chanting, looking as dignified as an enlightened monk, it still stubbornly tried to burrow into him.

Inside the storage bag, over a hundred high-ranking Buddhist cultivators simultaneously struck the wooden fish, silencing the heavens and earth. The profound, almost inaudible, chanting of Buddhist hymns, like a net, ensnared the demonic seed, which was as small as a three-inch-long fish.

To Su Qing's surprise, the merit-based wooden fish, which was invincible against evil spirits and could not be subdued by evil, could only bind and annihilate the demonic seed, but could not convert it or extract any remaining value from it.

"Perhaps it is because this demonic seed is not the original demonic seed, so even if it is converted, it can only generate demonic power, but cannot obtain the original demonic seed."

Su Qing had seen records about demons in the Daoist canon, and thus knew that demons have no fixed form, and all living things can become demons.

But everything has its origin, and the origin of evil spirits has been the subject of much speculation by our predecessors in the Daoist canon.

One theory is that the heavens are divided into pure and impure. The pure energy rises and transforms into sentient beings, while the impure energy sinks and accumulates evil energy. If it is not cleansed in time, it will transform into evil spirits and bring disaster to sentient beings.

One theory is that the ancestor of the Dao, after severing the three corpses, caused trouble. The evil corpse became the ruler, divided the original demonic seed, and infected many ancient great beings, so much so that many great beings had no choice but to destroy their own Dao fruits and pass away in ancient times.

One theory is that Tao has no distinction between good and evil, righteousness and demonism. Demons who kill millions to achieve their own Tao are also a kind of Tao. We should vindicate demons. Of course, this view is condemned as heresy by countless people. After all, those demons killed millions of people, so why should they be the stepping stones for demons to achieve their Tao? Did they agree to it?
······
Opinions vary, and there is no definitive conclusion.

However, while the origin of evil is unknown, there is a unified standard for the strength and hierarchy among evils.

Humans are divided into three, six, and nine classes, and so are demons.

The lowest level of evil spirits are those who have been planted with demonic seeds by higher-level demons. Just like this fourth-level dragon-human, no matter whether they were Golden Core cultivators or Nascent Soul cultivators in life, or even if they belonged to immortals or gods, once they have been planted with demonic seeds by higher-level demons, they are merely appendages of the higher-level evil spirits, unable to be free or find liberation.

Among the three lower-level demons, those demons whose Dao patterns and evil patterns have transformed into demons are considered the highest level and are called lower-upper-level demons. After being demonized, these demons may still advance and their cultivation will not stagnate. They are also the most favored vassal demons of the higher-level demons.

Such beings, including dragons, true dragons, phoenixes, and other divine beasts, are the seeds of cultivation among human cultivators. The demons transformed from these geniuses are called lower-level or middle-level demons. Although these demons cannot continue to cultivate after being demonized, they can still use their physical endowments, Taoist arts, and combat skills with ease. For higher-level demons, they are very useful tools.

As for the lowest-ranking demons, they are those who were useless in life and will remain useless after being demonized. High-ranking demons disdain to plant demonic seeds in them; only mid-ranking demons would take notice of them.

The middle-level demons, also known as the preaching demons, are all demons who have received the true power of the demonic path. Their cultivation is orderly, and they are divided into upper, middle and lower levels according to the different levels of the true power they have received.

The reason why the Western Sea Immortal Kingdoms such as Penglai Thousand Islands were so vigilant against the Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom in the past, and treated it with even stricter measures than the Magic Evil Kingdom, was that the demonic cultivators of this immortal kingdom were also a type of mid-level demon. However, they learned good but not bad. In addition, their first sect leader only passed down demonic arts and never the method of planting demonic seeds. Therefore, in the current cultivation world, the cultivators of the Desire Demon Sect have been distinguished from demons and are not confused with them. They can be regarded as a model of demons whitewashing themselves and coming ashore.

Whether they are lower-level or mid-level demons, although they are numerous and difficult to deal with, they alone are not enough to leave the ancient great beings and the gods of the heavens helpless and cause a cataclysmic disaster.

The truly formidable evil spirits that even Tong Chang, the only Celestial Master in the world, feared were those high-ranking evil spirits.

The superior demon, also known as the celestial demon, is the original demonic seed.

These celestial demons are formless and shapeless, capable of transforming into countless forms with a single thought. They are unfathomable and difficult to investigate. They all cultivate superior demonic arts, and even those who have achieved the Void Refinement and Dao Integration can have demonic seeds planted in them, becoming like malignant tumors in the heavens, earth, mountains, seas, and myriad realms. They are impossible to eradicate or eliminate, making them the most troublesome.

Su Qing doesn't know if the merit-based wooden fish and the Arhat Xiong Er can deal with the high-ranking evil spirits.

However, the existence of a high-ranking demon on this giant corpse island is a certainty.

This powerful demon, unfortunately, targeted the sea witch as his prey, which he could not tolerate!
They gained nothing from the dragon-man demon. Su Qing reached out and crushed the fish-like demon seed into powder, then unleashed a demon-dispelling Buddhist light to cleanse the crimson-black demonic energy emanating from the powder, preventing it from harming other living beings.

His unintentional act unexpectedly generated a wisp of merit as thick as a fist above his head.

This pleased him greatly.

I told you, Su Qing didn't gain anything from his actions at all.

This wisp of merit is comparable to saving a million lives, and even greater than the merit of destroying a pirate ship.

This is also Heaven's will, and it is only right. After all, if beings like the dragon-men and demons were allowed to escape from Giant Corpse Island, they would have harmed countless lives with their abilities.

There are gods watching over us. Although the gods fell and the Heavenly Emperor lost his throne in ancient times, the world was not destroyed and the Heavenly Way still protected all living beings.

In the realm of Heaven, merit is the salary that Heaven bestows upon its laborers.

Su Qing, for example, punished evil and promoted good all the way from Shipwreck Bay to the Celestial Master's Ruins. His iron fists were used to beat the wicked and wicked, and he accumulated tens of millions of merits. The merit energy of a foot-thick ash was only a dozen strands.

Clearly, in the eyes of Heaven, the pirates of Shipwreck Bay were also sentient beings. They committed all kinds of evil deeds, including rape, plunder, and robbery, but that was an internal conflict among sentient beings, and killing them would not bring much merit.

Similarly, the same applies to sea monsters such as the Black Ape King and the Evil Shark King.

The merits he accumulated were mainly earned from evil spirits such as Asura Gods and the Bodhisattva Baoxiang.

If this merit energy were given to the eldest brother, Erqiang, Erqiang would immediately become much stronger, making up for the gap in foundation between him and Dimotian. He would be able to rise up and fight Dimotian to a standstill without any problem.

But Su Qing didn't give it to her elder brother, not because she was reluctant to part with it, but because the merit was truly useful to him!
Firstly, he obtained two fifth-tier divine runes: the Martial Judge and the Prison Suppressor General. When using the Netherworld Mask to harness the power of the gods, he needs to consume merit energy to perform divine arts. Without merit energy, these two divine runes become useless.

Secondly, he has mastered the Lotus Seal, which involves the secrets of time. The power of these four imperial runes goes without saying. They are one of his greatest trump cards. Without enough merit energy to activate them, this method would be useless. Therefore, he needs to store up more merit energy for future use.

Thirdly, he also has dozens of third and fourth-tier divine runes, ready to consecrate the puppets with divine runes at any time. These puppets that have obtained divine runes will not eat spirit stones in the future, but only merit incense. Without merit energy, what will they eat?
In short, the more merit energy Su Qing had, the better. Being able to obtain a wisp from this dragon-man demon was a fitting end to its death, making up for the regret that its physical body was tainted by demonic energy and could no longer be used.

After dealing with the dragon-man demon, Su Qing turned to look at the sea witch who was still bound by the chains of the Dao Tian Demon Seed.

"Save me! I can grant you immense strength and the power to rebuild your physical body. All you need to do is move your hand and tear these damned chains off me!"

The sea witch, desperate for a cure, was tormented to the brink of ecstasy by the demonic chains. Wanting only to be wicked, not to become a demon, she turned to Su Qing for help.

"I have long admired the Evil God, and I will certainly not allow evil spirits to harm Your Majesty!"

Su Qing straightened her face and was about to take a step, but then her expression darkened, and she took several steps back under the expectant gaze of the sea witch.

"Let's just forget about it. Lord Evil God should recognize me by now, right? I've had a few misunderstandings with you before. Now that the chains are off, you can't take your anger out on me, can you?"

"No, absolutely not! I swear on my life that I will never make things difficult for you!" The sea witch naturally recognized Su Qing. She had used a shovel to swat away the evil thoughts that had possessed the Jiuli people and to cut the Jiuli Dao patterns off its body. Su Qing was a great enemy who had blocked her path, and she had even gone so far as to have an affair with the withered wood immortal and give birth to the Asura God so that she could escape the shackles of the Evil God Domain.

But right now, on this island of giant corpses, the sea witch can only rely on this cunning human. Who else can she turn to but him?

Even though it was willing to let Su Qing go, Su Qing still didn't trust it. She stayed in place, directing the puppets to strangle the giant corpse, and had no intention of helping it. This angered the sea witch so much that her tentacles flared wildly and she let out a series of hysterical screams.

"You think I cannot live, so you can live?"
Long Fengxian is nothing more than a pawn casually placed by a high-ranking demon. If you can kill him, can you also kill the high-ranking demon?

The four evil demons, each manifesting in one of the four directions, fell into the Giant Axe Lake at the critical moment when I activated the Xingtian Blood Axe, intending to reveal themselves to the world through the Blood Axe.

So that you junior may know that this Xingtian Blood Axe, though not among the spiritual treasures, is a supreme treasure for body cultivators. It has the power to slay gods without incurring karma and to destroy demons by striking their very essence. Furthermore, it contains the Five Elders Dao Patterns and Blood Killing Dao Patterns.

You, young man, have obtained some of the Nine Li Dao Patterns from me. You should know how terrifying the Dao Patterns of the Witchcrafts are. The Blood Slaughter Dao Pattern is one of the three great Five Elders Dao Patterns of the Witchcrafts. Only the Sun Shooting Dao Pattern and the Zhuolu Dao Pattern can compare with it. It is even better than the Nine Li Dao Pattern.

The four demons were originally high-ranking evil demons, who cultivated the Dao Heaven Seed Demon True Technique. Furthermore, they obtained the Xing Tian Blood Axe as a place for their demonic spirits to reside, and their spirits and bodies were combined. Not to mention you, a mere fourth-level Nascent Soul cultivator, even a fifth-level Deity Transformation cultivator would have no power to resist them.

"If you want to live, quickly release this evil god! With my mighty power over the Nine Li, I can still fight them for control of Xing Tian's Blood Axe and save your lives!"

Although the octopus head had a foul odor coming from its mouth.

But the secret he revealed was exactly the information Su Qing wanted to hear.

The demon is named the Four Demons, and is indeed a high-ranking demon, wielding the original demonic seed.

Beneath the bubbling, blood-red axe lake lies the sealed Xing Tian Blood Axe, a treasure the Sea Witch intended to use to contend with the human race and the Demon Buddha.

To wield this axe, one must possess the bloodline of the Witch Clan and gain the Blood Axe's approval.

"In that case, if even a demon like you could gain the Blood Axe's approval by ruling Jiuli, wouldn't I, Su Qing, as a Great Witch True Spirit, be even more legitimate and righteous if I were to rule Jiuli? Wouldn't Xing Tian's Blood Axe immediately bow down in worship?"

Since I am capable of doing this, there is no need to trouble the evil god!

Su Qing, dressed as the Great Witch True Spirit, smiled gently. Under the fearful gaze of the Sea Witch, Luo Han Xiong Er, who had been lurking behind her, gave it a hard whack!

hiss!
This feeling is so familiar!
It felt like a tearing pain that was about to rip its very soul and consciousness out of its body!

This is the pain that the sea witch had already felt when Su Qing removed the evil thoughts from the cursed spirit clan in the White Cloud Immortal City.

Back then, it only lost some of its evil thoughts; now, Su Qing wants its life! (End of Chapter)
