Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Xiong Er is very strong, possessing the abilities of an Arhat Buddha Bear, and his supernatural powers are even more evident when dealing with evil spirits and demons.

But even at its strongest, it's only at the fourth order, and that's only because the software has reached the fourth order while the hardware hasn't been updated for a long time.

Even though Huang Mie had been bombarded by the endless bombardment of the Love and Loyalty Puppet and had lost its body, leaving only its essence, it was still not something Xiong Er could easily deal with. Moreover, because Xiong Er had developed self-awareness, unlike other puppets, there was a chance that it would be corrupted by this evil demon and become its body.

Seeing that Xiong Er had blocked Huang Mie and that the demon and the bear were already locked in combat, Su Qing dared not delay. He casually swept his Xing Tian Blood Axe through the Ten Thousand Demon Army, killing several more of them. After ensuring that the Golden Roc Mothership and other puppets had the upper hand over the remaining opponents, he hurriedly turned and rushed to the battlefield between Huang Mie and Xiong Er.

Meanwhile, Huang Mie was still entangled with Xiong Er.

It was visible hundreds of feet above the sea.

Xiong Er sat cross-legged in mid-air, his hands clasped together, a vajra standing upright in his arms, radiating Buddhist light. This light was extremely concentrated within a small space, rising and falling in rhythm with Xiong Er's chanting, as if he had transformed himself into a tortoise shell, showing no sign of actively blocking anyone.

It cannot be said that Xiong Er did not work hard or failed to firmly carry out its master's tasks.

When Xiong Er stopped Huang Mie, he was in high spirits. As the saying goes, a phoenix that has fallen into the water is no better than a chicken. Huang Mie's body was blown away, so why can't Xiong Er beat a dog that has fallen into the water? If Xiong Er can make such a great contribution, why can't he become a marshal after the battle?
But as soon as it swung its pestle, each strike gathering all its strength, it was easily neutralized by the phoenix that transformed into a swirling demonic shadow. Moreover, its demonic energy, like a bone-deep affliction, followed its force and invaded its body.

It was only because Xiong Er held the Vajra, a supreme Buddhist treasure, and was himself a genuine Buddhist Xiong, that he was able to maintain his composure and dispel demonic energy with the merits of Buddhist teachings. Otherwise, he would probably have ended up like the mobile troops that Jiu Kong had annihilated as soon as they started fighting.

Realizing that the high-level master could fight while wearing a mask, and that Xiong Er couldn't get involved, Xiong Er immediately switched from offense to defense. He didn't seek to kill this evil spirit, but only hoped that this evil spirit would treat him like a fart and let him go. If you want to run away, then run away quickly. I, Xiong Er, will close my eyes and pretend I didn't see anything!
The wretched demon was so ungrateful; even though Xiong Er had decided to let it go, the demon still wasn't going to.

It had taken a liking to Xiong Er's body.

"What a wonderful body! It was born as a puppet, and its entire body can be modified at will, with almost no limit to its improvement. It can also gain the recognition of heaven and earth like a living being, and has the possibility of infinite breakthroughs in its primordial spirit and consciousness. Both the physical body and the primordial spirit are unlimited. If I were to enter it, I dare not even imagine what level of achievement I could reach in the future!"

Huang Miezhen no longer wanted to escape. At this moment, she felt that the previous phoenix body was so wretched, nothing compared to Xiong Er's enchanting beauty.

It desperately wanted to possess Xiong Er's body. Once it took it, what was there to fear about Su Qing? In fact, even now that it was without a body, it wasn't afraid of Su Qing. With its abilities as a fifth-order demon, what did it matter if it lost its body? As long as it opened its mind, it could enter anyone's body.

It had just wanted to find Jiu Kong, but it had its eye on Hu Dan, a fierce general under Su Qing, and wanted to seize him for itself before Jiu Kong could.

However, it seems that Su Qing has even better men under his command. This Xiong Er is even more handsome than Hu Dan!
"A true man is born between heaven and earth. How can he live a life of melancholy and subservience to others? In the past, he was so base and unconscious that he was a puppet of others and was driven by them. But now that he has an independent mind, how can he be willing to be an appendage of others?"
Listen to my advice: this human cultivator is cunning and adept at exploiting and oppressing his subordinates. But we demons are different. I, Huang Mie, am known for treating my demon subordinates well. Living a life of luxury is nothing to me. The key is that I can manipulate whomever I want without any restraint. I will never give you the same kind of control as Su Qing.

Come, let us unite! The vast world holds endless possibilities. Shed your sanctimonious facade, cast aside your reserve, confront your true nature, and unleash your fiery desires! Let us both find joy!

Huang Mie spoke fluently, though the literal meaning of her words was irrelevant. However, through her words, the primordial Dao patterns she controlled could influence Xiong Er's consciousness and judgment. If Xiong Er's mind was disturbed for even a moment, there would be an opportunity to take advantage of her!
Having dominated the ancient times for so many years, under the influence of its chaotic Dao patterns, there was no hole it couldn't break through. You tell me, with Su Qing, Xiong Er's master, still present, isn't what it's doing wrong? That's exactly what it wants! It not only wants to disrupt Xiong Er's Dao heart, but also wants to shake Su Qing's Dao heart, creating a rift in his trust in the puppet, so that it can seize the opportunity to take over his other puppets!

Unbelievable! Shameless!
Su Qing, who was on her way, was furious at the injustice her husband had committed.

"You old scoundrel, prepare to die!"

Like blazing smoke and clouds, the dazzling axe light distorted even the mist. Behind that axe light was Su Qing, wearing a mask, moving with a bold and savage style, like a witch or a god but not like a human.

Enraged, Su Qing showed no mercy, unleashing the combined power of his fifth-order divine strength, Great Witch True Spirit, and Xing Tian Blood Axe, unleashing the ultimate axe might.

However, Huang Mie, who was in the midst of his excitement, was reluctant to interrupt the process of separating Xiong Er.

"So close, so very close, to breaking through this bear-like Buddha light!"

Huang Mie stared at Xiong Er with burning eyes, determined to continue her assault on Xiong Er even at the cost of enduring Su Qing's furious minotaur axe.

Bang!
It was the sound of Xing Tian's blood-red axe sweeping across the source of evil.

The power of the killing weapon tore the demon's essence into a thin strip like dough, then suddenly snapped it in two. The large fragments of essence that broke off transformed into Daoist light spots amidst the sounds of wooden fish, falling into Su Qing's body. Not only could they no longer be used by the demon, but the pain of being torn and burned by Xing Tian's Blood Axe alone made Huang Mie want to scream in agony. However, it endured it, because after paying the price of losing most of its essence, it finally broke through Xiong Er's crumbling Buddhist light defense!

It touched Xiong Er's body!

The Buddha's light is Xiong Er's psychological defense.

Once the defenses are breached, everything becomes simple.

With red eyes, Huang Mie entered Xiong Er's body.

then.

It encountered layer upon layer of defense.

Xiong Er must not harm humans, or stand idly by while its owner is harmed.
Without contradicting the first rule, Xiong Er must obey his master's orders.

Xiong Er must protect himself unless such protection contradicts the two points mentioned above.

That damned puppeteer!
They can't even trust the puppets they created themselves!
They even locked it up and welded shut any holes that could be exploited by others!
Given enough time, Huang Mie believed he was capable of breaking through the three layers of protection Su Qing had placed on Xiong Er.

But the problem is that it doesn't have that time right now. It can only watch helplessly as Xiong Er opens its eyes, and the Buddhist light that just went out shines again, turning into a cage that imprisons it.

Huang Mie suddenly realized that it hadn't even broken through Xiong Er's psychological defenses. This bear, like its master, was just playing with it!
Trying to outmaneuver others only to be outmaneuvered yourself.

It's fortunate that Huang Mie didn't have a Dao Heart, otherwise, her Dao Heart would probably have collapsed by now.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

The moment it was trapped, before it could even try to escape, Su Qing's axe struck again, giving it no chance, and slayed this once-powerful demon, which had been so rampant in ancient times and which even ancient great powers could only suppress and seal, in this Sea of ​​No Breath.

"I have lived up to my master's trust by intercepting this demon here and helping him to kill it. This small contribution is nothing to boast about, but if my master rewards me, I will accept it sincerely!"

Seeing the Phoenix Extinction scattered all over the ground, Xiong Er, who had almost sacrificed himself to serve the demon, immediately had his eyes light up and openly asked Su Qing for a reward.

It wasn't that it didn't know how to be reserved; it was just that Su Qing really had no intention of sharing anything with it if it didn't ask!

"Hmm, you're quite good, but this battle isn't over yet. Nine Holes is almost killing Tiger Egg. You need to go and help Tiger Egg as soon as possible. The evil spirits are cunning, and the treasures they left behind may also contain hidden dangers. You can't grasp them yet. After I categorize them and find out the details of the treasures from all sides, we can fight again and distribute the rewards. It won't be too late!"

Seeing that Su Qing didn't even bother to look at the tiger egg that had been beaten down to only three tails and two swords, Xiong Er knew that his master wasn't worried about the tiger egg, but simply didn't want him to interfere with his looting. So, Xiong Er consciously stepped back a few steps, picked up the Vajra Pestle, and joined forces with the tiger egg brothers to fight the nine-hole beast, so that his master could quickly recover his strength.

Yes, Xiong Er was right.

The reason Su Qing wasn't in a hurry to kill Jiu Kong in one fell swoop was not only because he needed to digest the spoils of Huang Mie, but also because he was using a fourth-order body to forcefully exert fifth-order abilities. His physical body and primordial spirit needed a recovery process before he could activate again and fight Jiu Kong again.

There's no other way. From the Fire Demon to the Wheel Demon, and then to the Phoenix Annihilation, now there's only the strongest Nine-Hole Demon left.

He fought and killed three demons in succession. Despite his imposing appearance, the bitterness in his heart was something that bystanders like Xiong Er and Hu Dan could never understand.

"It's so bitter, so incredibly bitter. Is this the gallbladder of the ancient abyss serpent? Just one gallbladder has propelled my physical body a step closer to the fifth rank. After slowly digesting it, it will be enough to open up all the meridians in my body and build the Golden Bridge between Heaven and Earth!"

"Beautiful, so beautiful! That old scoundrel Huang Mie deserves to die! Just how many phoenixes and luan birds did he harm in ancient times? Besides the phoenix body we just saw, he even prepared a spare luan bird body. It has colorful feathers and a slender body. Although it's only the size of a palm, it is undoubtedly of luan bird blood. Hehehe! What demon would know how to create such a beautiful creature? If it falls into my hands, I will definitely be able to refine it into a fifth-order luan bird puppet!"

"It hurts, it hurts so much! Is this Phoenix Annihilation some kind of demonic split? Why is it so painful to absorb its Dao patterns? It feels like my primordial spirit is being torn into countless pieces!"

Su Qing, who was inspecting his spoils and had acquired an ancient abyss serpent gall and a phoenix shell, was overjoyed when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, his sea of ​​consciousness trembled, and he felt an immense pain as if his primordial spirit was being torn apart.

However, it was due to the disruption of the original Dao patterns caused by receiving the greatest legacy of the Phoenix Annihilation.

To say that demons are evil spirits is to say that they are not as sensible as malevolent spirits.

When the evil patterns left by evil spirits are transformed into Dao patterns and absorbed by him, they are relatively gentle and natural. This is because the Dao patterns do not belong to evil spirits in the first place, but are evolved by other living beings. Evil spirits are merely cuckoos occupying the nest, and their influence on him is not profound.

The essence left by the demon was born at the same time as it and had never passed through the hands of any living being. When it was suddenly absorbed by this living being, the rejection reaction was extremely strong, and the process was extremely painful.

In fact, if he weren't a puppet immortal, his body would have been ruined by his own actions, allowing him to contain numerous Dao patterns without any falsehood. Even if someone else could convert evil patterns into Dao patterns, they wouldn't dare to accept them all so readily and forcefully.

The excruciating pain of my soul being torn apart lasted for about 15 minutes.

Within this short span of time, Tiger Egg and Bear Two had been driven to the brink of ecstasy by Nine Holes, the Arhat Buddha Bear Group had suffered heavy losses, the Exorcist Ghosts had been rendered speechless and dared not laugh by Nine Holes, and the Nine Dragon Boats were also making a rumbling noise, very restless, obviously Nine Holes was trying to seize control of the Nine Dragon Boats and wanted to re-corrupt them into evil boats.

But Su Qing couldn't care less about these things at the moment. The pain in his primordial spirit was like a tidal wave, one wave after another. After tormenting him for so long, it was finally digested and absorbed, becoming a supernatural power that he could use.

【Name of Dao Pattern: Chaos Dao Pattern】

[Quality: Upper Five Elders (Currently Tier 5)]

[Introduction: At birth, human nature is inherently evil. The reason why living beings are living beings is because they are full of emotions and desires. As a result, chaos arises among humans. The Chaotic Dao Pattern came into being. From the moment of its birth, it transformed into the evil Phoenix Extinction, taking pleasure in causing chaos and disorder in people's hearts. In ancient times, it coveted the bodies of the Luan Phoenix, but was no match for this race. Therefore, it used the power of the Dao Pattern to hide in the dark, causing the ancient divine beasts such as True Dragon, Luan Phoenix, and Qilin to become increasingly hostile. This led to infighting among the divine beasts, causing great chaos in ancient times. As a result, its strength greatly increased, reaching the seventh level of Void Refinement. It also successfully seized the bodies of many Phoenix and Luan Phoenix, posing a great threat to various forces during the ancient demonic calamity.]

Later, in the battle of the Fallen Dragon Sea, the seventh-tier True Phoenix body it possessed was destroyed by the ancient dragon, greatly weakening its strength. Furthermore, it was sealed by the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl for many years, causing its demonic power to dissipate and its level to drop to the fifth tier. At the beginning of the renewed demonic calamity in the Tianyuan Realm, it was destroyed by Su Qing, a loyal guardian of the Tianyuan Realm, a demon slayer, and a cultivator who upheld the path of justice. This Dao pattern, misplaced in its association with evil, finally found its rightful owner and was taken under Su Qing's control!

[Ability 1: Divine Transformation. Using this ability, one can have a second, third, or even nine hundred and ninety-nine primordial spirits.

[Ability Three: Bewitching Incense. When used for righteous purposes, it can confuse the opponent's spirit, making them feel as if they are in a dream, rendering them unable to use any of their methods and allowing you to manipulate them at will. (Use this ability with caution. If you use it for evil purposes and take the wrong path, how are you any different from a demon?)]

[Ability 4: Seed of Suspicion. This ability can influence opponents, causing them to harbor suspicion among themselves. Once a seed is planted, they can imagine and stage a rebellion. (Use this ability with caution, as suspicion destroys precious trust.)]
