Immortality begins with meditation puppets

As a native of Tianyuan, not counting the life I experienced before transmigrating, at least in this body I have never seen the scenery of any other realm besides the Tianyuan Realm.

Despite Tong Laodao's repeated reminders that Giant Corpse Island was currently shrouded in the projection of the Death Demon Realm, and that the rules of this realm meant that both the two great suns overhead and the raging Soul-Eating and Bone-Corroding Winds had a great restraining and damaging effect on living beings, he was not to be careless.

After a brief moment of surprise, Su Qing calmly began to observe this realm, not taking the demonic projection too seriously at all.

Firstly, he has a merit-making wooden fish in his storage bag. When he strikes the wooden fish, he is protected by Buddhist light and is not afraid of death energy or demonic energy.

Secondly, after he condensed the Great Sun Star Infant, stimulated by the black and white suns in the sky, a phantom of the Great Sun appeared behind him, with a dazzling array of stars emitting golden light. The starlight and rosy clouds protected him. Although he could not protect an entire island, protecting Su Qing and Old Daoist Tong was not a problem.

The threat was not great, so Su Qing had the leisure to experience the differences between the other world and the Tianyuan World.

This realm also possesses spiritual energy, but it is mixed and chaotic. If cultivators wish to utilize it, they must filter it through layers of processes; otherwise, it is highly likely to mutate into demonic energy. Furthermore, the density of spiritual energy is far inferior to that of the Tianyuan Realm. This is only because the Tianyuan Realm has just experienced a great calamity and its spiritual energy has not yet recovered to its peak. If the Tianyuan Realm were to regain its ancient splendor, the spiritual energy of this realm would be even more difficult to compare with that of the Tianyuan Realm.

Besides demons, there are also living beings in this world. Su Qing observed them briefly and found that although most of them were humanoid, they either had scales on their necks or hair in their eyes, indicating that they were cultivating in this world. Even if they did not become demons, they had become neither human nor demon.

"These are all demons. In ancient times, they betrayed the demons and joined their camp when the demons became powerful. Don't be fooled by their ugly appearance. They all have godlike abilities and are much more ferocious than sea monsters and evil spirits. If they were to descend upon the Tianyuan Realm, it would be a great disaster for our Tianyuan Realm."

However, we're not afraid of them right now. They're all projections; we can see them, but they can't see us, let alone harm us!

Seeing that Su Qing's gaze was fixed on the demons, Tong Laodao introduced them while reminding him not to worry about these useless projections and to deal with the four demons first.

"No need to rush. Summoning this projection of the Demon Realm of Death will only be a burden to this demon. It is this demon who should be in a hurry!"

Su Qing chuckled and said that after the projection of the Death Demon Realm appeared, the four demons disappeared without a trace, presumably intending to use the projection of the Death Demon Realm to demonize Su Qing, and did not intend to show themselves to confront him head-on.

However, since my own infant spirit is special and protected by a merit-based wooden fish, this projection cannot harm me. There's no need to be impatient; if I wait a little longer, that evil spirit will become restless on its own.

And just as he expected.

At this moment, the four demons, who had transformed into white-scaled demons and were staring intently at Su Qing's movements with their fierce eyes, were suffering in silence.

The Thirteen Demon Realms are among the best in all the realms, being one of the top 100 realms capable of giving birth to seventh-order Void Refinement cultivators and acquired spiritual treasures.

Given its status, it would be easy to attract its projection to manifest in other realms, just like an adult bullying a child. It wouldn't be afraid of upsetting the other realm or driving it away.

Although the Demon Realm holds a high position, it is currently facing the Tianyuan Realm.

This realm is the first realm among all heavens, the source of all realms. It attracted the projection of the Death Demon Realm into this realm, and it is constantly being rejected by this realm, putting immense pressure on the instigator. Even if it only limits the projection range to the island of Giant Corpse, it is difficult to maintain it for long.

This was a last resort for it. Despite its boasting to Su Qing that its Heavenly Demon True Art could sweep away all enemies in the world, the Heavenly Demon True Art requires demonic energy to activate. It had been trapped under the Giant Corpse Island for countless years, so it didn't have much demonic energy left. Only by attracting this projection of the Dead Demon Realm and obtaining some demonic energy from it could it display its power.

Of course, if Su Qing were more sensible, she would have been assimilated by the demonic energy directly, without it needing to display its power, which would have been much easier.

It waited a while, and while it was suffering terribly from being targeted by the Heaven and Earth Realm because of maintaining the projection, Su Qing was completely unharmed, which made it grit its teeth in hatred.

With a thought, countless demons and monsters attacked Su Qing, and his true form was also mixed in among these demons and monsters, rushing straight for Su Qing's head.

In the eyes of the old Taoist, although he knew that most of the demons and monsters who came to attack were projections and illusions, it was difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake. In the face of life and death, who could immediately tell which were the real demons and which were the fake ones? Fearing that Su Qing would be harmed by the demons and that he would lose his powerful backer in the future, the old Taoist patted his storage bag, and more than ten talismans appeared in his hand. Regardless of whether they were real or fake, he directly attacked them with firepower.

Su Qing couldn't stand waste. Before Tong Chang could activate the talismans, he reached out and snatched them into his hand, stuffing them into his pocket as he said, "No need for you to trouble yourself, brother. With me here, these few devils can't cause any trouble!"

After speaking, his eyes shone with golden light, and his True Eye of Truth, which had been able to see clearly, instantly locked onto four demons among the group of demons.

Without making a sound, he pretended to be terrified and took out some old and dilapidated puppets from his storage bag to shield himself, as if he was so frightened by these demons that he was completely at a loss.

The four demons sneered. No matter how profound your cultivation is, you are a person from a later generation. With just a little effort, they can drive you to the brink of despair.

The four demons, who did not believe that Su Qing had the ability to see through their true form, brazenly tried to bite Su Qing's neck.

Just as it opened its demonic mouth, Su Qing, with a ferocious smile on her face, suddenly grabbed its throat!

"Caught you!"

The white-scaled demon struggled desperately under Su Qing's Qilin Arm, its demonic claws leaving white marks on his arm armor, and its demonic voice pierced the air, attempting to disrupt Su Qing's consciousness.

Ignoring the damage to the Qilin Arm Armor, Su Qing gripped the demon's true form tightly, unleashing the power of the Nine Li and slamming it to the ground.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
Each time the demon slammed into the ground, it created a deafening roar and a crater hundreds of feet deep.

This was repeated hundreds of times until Su Qing noticed his grip loosening, at which point he stopped.

I thought this devil had been spoiled rotten.

Unexpectedly, four more demonic figures slowly emerged from the deep pit.

"You forced me to do this!!"

After being brutally beaten by Su Qing, the four demons, severely weakened, roared hysterically.

With a roar, the four demonic shadows transformed into four balls of eerie fire, resembling demonic heads, but without bodies. They leaped and darted about in a deep, dark green, before transforming into four streaks of light that attacked Su Qing. The eerie fires were incredibly fast, appearing in one place and then another in another, seemingly able to ignore space and traverse freely.

Such ghostly speed was beyond Su Qing's ability to keep up, not only with his hands and feet but also with his eyes.

It is conceivable that this is a unique ability of high-ranking demons. Demons are formless and shapeless, without the burden of a physical body, and can see the world and space as unbound by anything. They can use this to traverse the myriad worlds, and it also has its own wonders in fighting enemies.

If you can't keep up with the movements, you'll get a beating.

After enduring several attacks of the eerie fire, Su Qing was also somewhat overwhelmed. Even with the protection of the Merit Wooden Fish and the Great Sun Infant Spirit, this eerie fire was like a bone-deep infection, far more powerful than the evil spirits and energies he had dealt with before. Even the four demons driven by the demons before him were not as evil as its true form.

In Su Qing's perception, the area struck by the strange fire felt as if it had been injected with anesthesia, numb and unable to exert any strength. He tried to invigorate his qi and blood to remove the effects, but found nothing amiss. Although his furnace fire was strong enough to drive it away in a short time, a fierce burning would erase these anomalies. However, this was a critical moment in the battle. If he allowed the strange fire to continue raging, he would become a spineless coward at its mercy!

Although she felt a little heartbroken about losing her merit energy, Su Qing, who was not one to easily risk capsizing, stopped hiding her intentions after realizing how troublesome the strange fire was. She spoke lotus flowers, mobilized her merit energy, and cast the Lotus Seal.

Slowing down the flow of time outside of oneself by three to five times also slows down the speed of the strange fire by three to five times.

Even so, although Su Qing could see the trajectory of the strange fire, his hands and feet still couldn't keep up, making it difficult to control the strange fire.

Left with no other choice, they had to use even more merit energy to slow down the flow of time by ten times in one go.

At this moment, he was able to control the strange fire with his physical movements. The True Qi of Mountains and Seas wrapped around his Qilin Arm, and he grabbed a ball of strange fire, but he got nothing. The strange fire seemed to be somewhere between tangible and intangible, slippery and difficult to control.

But his attack missed, and just as he was thinking of a countermeasure, the four demons were startled by his actions.

These four strange flames are not something that just any high-ranking demon could wield.

It was a ball of flying demonic fire bestowed upon it by the Heavenly Demon Lord, and then combined with the acquired spiritual object of the Sky Speed ​​Star Tempering. It took them ten thousand years of painstaking effort to allow it to be possessed by the higher-ranking demons as a final means of defeating their enemies.

When it uses this supernatural power, it will inevitably be noticed by other high-ranking demons in this world, or attract their covetousness. Seeing that its strength has not yet recovered, they will use it as resources for their further advancement.

This is also why the four demons were unwilling to use this divine power before. Now that they are using it, they have been forced into a corner by Su Qing. They want to finish the battle quickly, take Xing Tian's Blood Axe and escape. Once they have developed their strength, they will not have to worry about the threat of other demons.

It never expected that while it had used its strongest methods, Su Qing had even more ruthless ones up her sleeve!
"Time Dao Pattern? No, the Time Dao Lord was eliminated by the Dao Venerable long before ancient times. Because the influence of the two Daos of spacetime on the myriad worlds was too great, the power could not be held by one person. Therefore, the Three Pure Ones Dao Pattern was divided into four by the Dao Venerable and made into the Four Imperial Dao Patterns, which were handed over to the four Dao Lords to control."

It was these four time-related imperial Dao patterns that appeared in the world, allowing later generations to cultivate their destiny.

"That shouldn't be the case. Many of the ancient Four Imperial Dao Patterns were possessed by the Heavenly Demon Lord and suppressed in various parts of the world by the methods of the various Dao Lords. The day for the Heavenly Demon Lords to unseal them hasn't arrived yet. How could the Four Imperial Dao Patterns manifest in the world?"

As high-ranking demons, the four demons clearly knew many ancient secrets. In their view, Su Qing's mastery of time-related Dao patterns was truly inconceivable, leaving them completely baffled.

But right now, this person controls the flow of time, which is exactly what counters its Flying Demon Fire. It doesn't have time to think too much. It just wants to make a quick getaway before Su Qing figures out how to deal with the demon fire. Demons never fight when they are at a disadvantage, nor do they like to confront people head-on. Although it is a pity that it missed the Xing Tian Blood Axe, since Su Qing has shown the ability to annihilate it, the four demons know what to do.

The four demonic flames were impossible to catch or kill. Su Qing was also a little hesitant, thinking that perhaps they should each take a step back, since they couldn't determine who was better or worse, and give each other face and let it go for the day.

Suddenly, four clusters of demonic flames flew away in four different directions. Seeing that he couldn't win and had to escape, Su Qing felt much more at ease.

The demon was so afraid because it had the ability to eliminate it, which is why it retreated without a fight.

As if struck by a sudden inspiration, his soul left his body, and a tiny figure, only three inches tall, stood on the sun, with starlight on its back, accompanied by a phoenix and a chaotic demon king, among other strange phenomena, chasing after the four strange flames.

Seeing Su Qing's primordial spirit leave his body, the four demons cried out in their hearts. They fled even faster, and could no longer even maintain the projection of the Death Demon Realm.

However, it knew that to target these higher-level demons, physical cultivators could use the power of their inner world to seal them within their inner world, while magic cultivators could use their primordial spirit to seal them within their sea of ​​consciousness.

Although Su Qing possessed the Qilin Arm and immense strength, he lacked an inner world, making it difficult for him to subdue it.

But now that he knows that physical cultivation is not a way to deal with it, he has started to use the power of his primordial spirit. So, wouldn't it have to run away as fast as it can?

In the chase, the Flying Demon Fire was faster than Su Qing's primordial spirit, but it was because he controlled the flow of time and could use time to exchange for space.

During this chase, Su Qing also discovered that the primordial spirit is lighter than the physical body. If the physical body wants to keep up with the flying demon fire, it needs to slow down the flow of time by ten times, but for the primordial spirit, it only needs to slow down by three times.

If he were to hunt down an opponent in the future, his primordial spirit would be more useful than his physical body. However, his primordial spirit is a hundred times more fragile than his physical body. Moreover, he is only a fourth-level Nascent Soul, and his primordial spirit is still just a Yin Soul. If he is exposed outside his physical body for a long time, he will be eroded by sunlight and wind. If he really wants to use the primordial spirit to leave his body, he will have to wait until he reaches the fifth level of Divine Transformation and his primordial spirit transforms into a Yang God. Only then will his divine light shine for thousands of miles, and a wisp of divine thought will be as if his true self has descended.

While he was pondering this, his primordial spirit had already caught up with the four flying demon fires.

"I have lost to you today, but remember this: this world will one day belong to us demons. We await the day when your consciousness is broken free!"

The four demons, having been targeted by the Great Sun Infant Spirit, the Fire Phoenix, and the Chaos Demon Infant, felt they had no way to escape and arrogantly boasted that they would definitely return, showing no fear that Su Qing could kill them.

Su Qing was annoyed by the demon's taunts, but he was also at a loss as to how to deal with it.

He clearly doesn't have the ability to kill this demon now. The merit-based wooden fish that used to exorcise evil spirits without fail is now only effective in suppressing this demon, whether due to insufficient quantity or lack of merit and skill.

Although he could seal this demon within his own sea of ​​consciousness, Su Qing still felt uneasy about having a demon fall into his sea of ​​consciousness. Although there were many strange things in his sea of ​​consciousness, they were all good and upright, and he could not tolerate a demon corrupting the atmosphere of his sea of ​​consciousness.

"If only I had forged the fourth-tier Demon Sealing Wave! It would have been perfect for sealing this demon!" (End of Chapter)
