Immortality begins with meditation puppets

It is important for people to know themselves.

Su Qing knew her own limitations very well.

As a fourth-order Nascent Soul cultivator, he couldn't withstand the ravages of the complete Four Imperial Dao Patterns, just as he knew that the girls who came and went in the store to buy toys in his previous life would never study toys with him.

But he understood that the Azure Dragon Dao Pattern did not.

As the master of the eight dragon ships, after the nine sons merged, the Azure Dragon Dao Pattern instinctively became closer to him. Now look at the old men present.

Although the Azure Dragon King was born of the dragon race, he was reborn through possession and was no longer a pure living being. In ancient times, he was the target of the Azure Dragon. It was wishful thinking to expect the Azure Dragon to submit to him. The old dragon king was also very self-aware and had no hope of acquiring the Dao pattern.

Gao Erqiang, once an evil man, now a god, is caught in the middle, wanting the Azure Dragon Dao Pattern to join him? Don't even think about it, even thinking about it is a sin!

Tong Chang, having risen to the status of a Celestial Master, held some weight, but his background was poor. It wasn't that Qinglong discriminated against those who attained enlightenment through puppetry; it was mainly because such things were rare in ancient times. Qinglong knew nothing about their physical structure, whether they possessed a sea of ​​consciousness, or whether they were even viable, and he didn't want to take the risk.

Therefore, the only choice for the Azure Dragon Dao Pattern is Su Qing!

Just like how the Azure Dragon King viewed Su Qing, the Azure Dragon also felt that Su Qing, who was favored by the Heavenly Emperor, bet on by the Lich King, and favored by the Snail King, was of impeccable character. Since all these forces were betting on this person, the Azure Dragon was following suit with minimal risk and extremely high returns.

It's just that the level of understanding is a bit low.

But putting aside the realm, didn't Su Qing previously convert the Dao patterns of the Eight Directions Five Elders, including Taotie and Yazi? These Dao patterns were all part of the Azure Dragon's differentiation. He had obtained eight out of nine. Why couldn't he take another bite if he tried harder?
"We can't ignore the concept of spiritual realm!"

The Azure Dragon Dao Pattern was too fierce, it attacked without any foreplay, causing Su Qing to scream in panic!

As the Azure Dragon stormed into the sea of ​​consciousness, the several Dharma Forms that had been peacefully coexisting and mutually restraining each other within the sea of ​​consciousness all felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and they all began to react.

Amidst the vastness of mountains, seas, lakes, and oceans, the chaotic demon infant cautiously peeked out and observed. Within its sea of ​​consciousness, it saw a Buddha seated on a golden lotus, emitting boundless golden light; a great shaman wielding an axe, beside him a colossal iron-eating beast pounding its chest and roaring wildly; the sun in the sky shone brightly, and the stars in the sky were even more abundant than usual...

These guys are really energetic!

With the encouragement of his elder brothers, the Chaos Demon Infant also became bolder!

What's wrong with the Azure Dragon Dao Pattern again?
First come, first served, understand?
The chubby, white-skinned Chaos Demon Infant stood with his hands on his hips and neck outstretched, about to explain the rules within the Sea of ​​Consciousness to the Azure Dragon Dao Pattern along with his good brothers.

All that could be seen was the majestic Azure Dragon Dao Pattern, which resembled a pillar of heaven and was as sacred as a holy dragon. It released its rich humanistic aura, and the Chaos Demon Infant's several good brothers put down their pride and reserve, landed beside it, and recognized it as their elder brother, only asking their elder brother to bestow some of his aura upon them.

The Chaos Demon Infant was a little slow in recognizing its elder brother, but fortunately, the Azure Dragon Dao Pattern treated everyone equally, giving it no less benefit than the other Dharma Forms.

This new older brother is someone I can get along with!

As expected of the Four Imperial Dao Patterns!
After easily subduing his henchmen.

The Azure Dragon Dao Pattern glanced at Su Qing's sea of ​​consciousness with disdain.

Su Qing understood immediately from that look.

The house is too small and unfurnished. I've been stuck with a poor owner, so I have to suffer this hardship!

What can I do? I'm not the Emperor! I really can't offer you good terms. Besides, it wasn't me who let you in.

You complain that my knowledge is too small, but I complain that your body is too big!
Su Qing was really upset at that moment.

As the Azure Dragon entered his body, the various infant spirits within his sea of ​​consciousness began to stir. With the meager magical power nurtured within his sea of ​​consciousness, it was already difficult to supply these few infant spirits simultaneously. To satisfy the Azure Dragon's needs, he would have to keep consuming pills to provide them.

"Take it easy on your food. If you really can't handle it, don't force yourself. Even if you can't, your brothers are still here. They can't bear to see you suffer. Release that Azure Dragon Dao Pattern and let your brothers share the burden!"

Tong Chang handed Su Qing the pills while earnestly trying to persuade her.

He genuinely didn't care about the cost of the pills. After all, he had just earned a large sum of merit points. His only worry was that if his brother, who was working so hard, actually absorbed the Azure Dragon Dao Pattern, he would be heartbroken.

Erqiang also looked anxious. Following Su Qing's instructions, he transferred divine power to help Su Qing digest the Dao patterns, while also offering words of advice:
"Even the ancient Human Emperors dared not easily contain the complete Four Imperial Dao Patterns; they required the Human Imperial Court to bear them. Your stubbornness will only harm yourself. You have everything you need now: strength, status, beautiful wives and concubines. How far do you have to fight before it's too late? You should enjoy it!"

Su Qing listened to Tong Chang and Er Qiang's persuasion and considered following his brothers' wishes.

But this time it wasn't because he wanted to improve.

It was this Azure Dragon Dao Pattern that forced him to improve!
Within Su Qing's sea of ​​consciousness, the Azure Dragon Dao Pattern, along with its newly acquired followers, was undertaking a major overhaul. Originally, all the images within Su Qing's sea of ​​consciousness were generated autonomously by the infant spirits. Having recently advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, his main focus was on crafting puppets, leaving him with neither the time nor the effort to cultivate his sea of ​​consciousness. As a result, his sea of ​​consciousness was only about ten thousand feet high and a hundred miles in diameter, not particularly spacious compared to ordinary newly advanced Nascent Soul cultivators. While an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator might only have one Nascent Soul, his sea of ​​consciousness housed several infant spirits, making it somewhat crowded.

Fortunately, the other infant spirits were deeply bound to him, so they couldn't be separated and could make do with living together.

The Azure Dragon Dao Pattern was unbearable. The dragon's head soared into the sky, and azure energy filled the air, constantly expanding the space of Su Qing's sea of ​​consciousness, regardless of whether Su Qing could withstand it!

What can Su Qing do?
The only thing we can do is put a lot of work on our two brothers outside!
"Quickly, Brother Tong, you need to keep up with the quality and quantity of your pills! Are you out of them? Don't you know you can buy more? The merit points given by the Heavenly Talisman Palace, if you don't spend them on your brothers, do you want to spend them on your wife?!"

"Brother Gao, as long as I survive, I'll build you several more temples. You'll have as much divine power as you want! Don't hold back, unleash your full power! I'm incredibly thirsty for it right now!"

Su Qing called out.

Tong Chang was suffering.

Second-degree pain.

The three brothers' expressions were not good at the moment, the only difference being:

Su Qing outwardly complained, but inwardly he was delighted. Although the Azure Dragon's action of expanding his sea of ​​consciousness was direct and reckless, it undoubtedly brought him great benefits. The main direction of cultivation for cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage is to expand their sea of ​​consciousness in order to accumulate more magical power to help the infant spirit grow. This process often takes thousands of years. Now, the Azure Dragon's Dao patterns are simply pushing against his sea of ​​consciousness, saving him hundreds or thousands of years of hard work. He was naturally experiencing both pain and joy.

Erqiang and Tongchang were filled with pain, watching helplessly as their brother prospered, even with their help. The thought was cruel, and they screamed even louder than Su Qing.

However, the transformation of Su Qing's sea of ​​consciousness by the Azure Dragon Dao Pattern is ultimately limited.

After managing to expand the original space more than tenfold and determining that it was the limit for Su Qing's current primordial spirit strength, the Azure Dragon Dao Pattern finally gave up.

The azure dragon meandered upwards, transforming into an azure dragon pillar that stood on the ground and reached the sky. Wisps of vibrant green life force cascaded down from the pillar, causing the newly opened empty space to sprout rare flowers and herbs, and new branches of trees. The Great Sun Star Infant shone with light and heat, the Chaos Demon Infant regulated the life force, and the Buddha Relics dredged the earth's veins. Together with their good elder brother, they diligently managed this humble yet home-like sea of ​​consciousness!

Only then did detailed information about the Azure Dragon Dao Pattern appear on Su Qing's personal panel.

[Azure Dragon Dao Pattern]

[Quality: Four-star (its power fluctuates greatly, depending on the amount of fortune it controls)]

[Introduction: Luck is different from spiritual energy, immortal energy, willpower, merit, etc., which can be detected, observed, and utilized by cultivators. It is mysterious and unpredictable. Only a few people who are good at deducing the secrets of heaven may be able to glimpse some of the mysteries of luck.]

Ancient cultivators have made many speculations about it. Some say that fortune originates from heaven and earth, and those who follow the way of heaven will be blessed with fortune. Those with high fortune will become immortals and ancestors, while those with low fortune will fall into the abyss forever. The lineage of Dharma cultivators mostly believe in this theory. On the path of cultivation, they have great reverence for heaven and earth and dare not overstep the rules of heaven and earth.

Some say that one's fortune originates from oneself. A strong self provides a solid foundation, and a solid foundation leads to good fortune. Cultivators who follow this path are mostly body cultivators. On their cultivation journey, they pursue personal strength, even at the cost of offending heaven and earth, and devouring the resources of heaven and earth to enrich the world within their own bodies. This is the so-called harming the world to enrich oneself. As long as one is rich enough, one can become the creator of a world, enjoying unique fortune within one's own world, living freely and unrestrained.

There are also cultivators who believe that heroes create the times. They can use their cultivation methods to collect or even create fortune. Those who believe in this path go to extremes. Some are like the demon lords who wreak havoc on all the heavens and myriad worlds, while others are like the last human emperor of ancient times who once protected the world. They are only one step away from making the human race a hegemon forever and achieving endless hegemony.

The pursuit of fortune by living beings gave birth to the four cardinal directions and four imperial Dao patterns: Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise. These four Dao patterns were born with the birth of a local overlord and are the manifestation of the fortune of that overlord's clan. It is said that those who collect all four Dao patterns can be blessed with fortune forever and achieve unparalleled hegemony.

However, after verification by the last human emperor, this legend was clearly false. Although the human race reached its peak because of this, attracting all realms and all races to submit, it was common for mortals to ascend to heaven to perform their duties and for immortals and gods to descend to earth to serve as officials. Even if celestial officials wanted to advance further, they had to come to the human imperial court and meet the required qualifications before they could have room for advancement.

However, the fate of decline after reaching its peak was unavoidable for humanity. With the onset of the ancient calamity, the once-prosperous Human Imperial Court collapsed and scattered. In the final battle, the Azure Dragon Dao Pattern was seized by demons and split into nine, transforming into nine evil patterns. Finally, the mortal cultivator Su Qing performed a demon-slaying act to reshape the Azure Dragon Dao Pattern, hoping to gain the Azure Dragon's favor and merge this Dao Pattern into his body.

[Ability 1: Prosperity and Blessings. The Azure Dragon Dao Pattern, born from the Dragon race and serving the human race, concluded from the difference in fortune between the two races that individual strength is not true strength, but collective strength is. For the race to develop, the lower body must strive. Mastering this ability allows you to break through reproductive barriers and racial constraints. Demons, gods, immortals, and even flowers and trees can become channels for your efforts, giving birth to high-quality offspring. Furthermore, for each offspring born, you will receive a gift from heaven and earth.]

[Ability Two: Endless Regeneration. While life has its limits, effort has none. Mastering this ability will grant you an insatiable desire for activities that produce offspring, and the essence of your offspring will also be limitless. (Note: The last emperor used this ability to single-handedly create an imperial city composed entirely of his children.)]

[Ability Three: Eye of Judgment. The honor and disgrace of a realm are everyone's responsibility. It is especially shameful for me to give birth while you do not, for me to suffer while you enjoy the benefits. Possessing this ability allows you to force someone to conceive. For the sake of all living beings, for the sake of all realms, this child must be born immediately! (Use this ability with caution. If the other party's cultivation or rank is higher than yours, it may cause unpredictable consequences.)]

[Ability Four: Coiled Dragon Root, capable of materializing from the intangible, can be used as an object to suppress the fortune of a powerful clan or group, maintaining a dynamic balance within a certain range of fortune fluctuations, preventing calamities and disasters (excluding major catastrophes).]

[Ability Five: Fire Source. Using Qi as fuel, it can be used as the power source for various cultivation creations. Due to the host's current profession, the Azure Dragon's current decomposition of the Fire Source is more suitable for puppet creation. It can be used to create: Wrathful Yazi, Singing and Dancing Qiuniu, Bloodthirsty Taotie, and other Azure Dragon series puppets (Related blueprints have been issued. The quality and quantity of the Fire Source depend on the amount of Qi contained in the current Azure Dragon Dao Pattern.)]

[Sixth Ability: Dragon Divine Power. The Azure Dragon was born from the Dragon Clan and possesses all the Dragon Clan's divine powers. With this ability, you can consume a certain amount of luck to exchange for corresponding Dragon Clan divine powers (limited by your current cultivation level, only the following three divine powers can be exchanged: Driving Mountains and Rivers, Controlling Clouds and Rain, and Overturning the Seas).]

[Seventh Ability: Lord Dragon, the Azure Dragon once followed the orders of the Human Emperor to enlighten all living beings in the realms. Countless beings have received his blessings, including both heartless and ungrateful individuals. By mastering this ability, you can absorb the legacy of the Azure Dragon and be revered as Lord Dragon by these cultivators, who will serve you (no reward required, but you must provide your own money and provisions).]

[Ability Eight: Little Dragon Man, the Azure Dragon Dao Pattern Palm embodies the wonder of the vitality of all things, nurturing the essence of life. Every so often, it secretes this life essence, pure white in color, flowing like a dragon, hence the name Little Dragon Man. It was a superior beverage coveted by ancient immortals and powerful beings, and the only beverage designated by the ancient Heavenly Emperor for his celestial wedding. Its fame resounded throughout the ages, and its reputation was universally acknowledged; everyone who tasted it praised its excellence!]

[Ability Nine: Azure Dragon Armor. It can condense one's fortune into armor. Together with the endlessly killing White Tiger Armor, the world-cleansing Vermilion Bird Armor, and the unparalleled defensive Black Tortoise Armor, they are known as the Four Armors of Fortune. The Azure Dragon Armor possesses boundless vitality. When worn, one's fortune can absorb damage in place of one's own body. As long as one's fortune remains intact, one is immortal. (Current Fortune Value: 87366 (Can be converted to merit points one-to-one. To more accurately calculate the maximum damage this armor can withstand, taking a full-force attack from a fourth-tier body cultivator as an example, one attack might consume 20,000 fortune points. Therefore, with the current total fortune value, wearing this armor allows one to withstand four fatal attacks from a peak fourth-tier body cultivator without injury.))] (End of Chapter)
