Immortality begins with meditation puppets

As anyone who gets pregnant frequently knows, there is no such thing as a foolproof condom.

The same applies to time-based systems.

In Su Qing's view, this ability is not perfect either.

Its slices only involve countless fragments of a certain continuous moment in the present and the past, and cannot touch the future. Otherwise, within the present time mass, there should be scenes such as Liu Qianpiao and the puppet girl playing with their genitals, which may not be exciting or beautiful, but certainly cannot be described.

The inability to access the future creates a loophole, but this loophole can only be exploited by the Demon Buddha, who also possesses the Dao of Time.

So, here comes the problem.

To prevent the Demon Buddha from stealing his spoils again, he developed the Time Trap, a technique that uses time runes to trap prey and prevent the Demon Buddha from succeeding. However, because his mastery of time runes was insufficient, this technique had loopholes that the Demon Buddha could exploit. This technique might catch the Demon Buddha off guard the first time, but if the Demon Buddha possessed the same wisdom as him, or even just the wisdom of people like De Bao and De Long, his mastery of time runes would surely allow him to discover the loopholes and render the technique ineffective the second time. To solve this problem, he must master more time runes than the Demon Buddha, which means killing the Demon Buddha!
"Therefore, the Demon Buddha must die!"

Having accepted that the time-limited ability could only be used once, Su Qing wasn't particularly disappointed.

After all, this one-time ability only took him the time it takes to eat a meal.

Another drawback of this ability is that the number of segments it can capture is limited, depending on the difference in magical power between the captured target and the user. For example, a peak fourth-order body cultivator like Liu Qianpiao can only capture thirty or forty people, which also reveals his current strength level.

Without wearing the demon mask, he wields the Xingtian Blood Axe and the Dao patterns such as the Azure Dragon, possessing the strength of a body cultivator at the 34th or 45th level.

Without being self-deprecating, it's as easy for him to defeat a fifth-tier Nascent Soul cultivator as it is for Debao to get married.

Just how easy is it to get married?
According to Gao Erqiang's complaints over the years, Debao's incense-burning team, built around his nephews and nieces, has been thriving in the realm of the God of Punishment and Killing. Besides supporting seventy-two nephews and nieces, they also kept thirty-six concubines and one hundred and eight mistresses. All these expenses were borne by Erqiang, who couldn't bear it any longer. So, Debao and his nephews, being so successful, reluctantly dismissed them. Now, Debao's entire family has settled in the far west, where there are many divine affairs to be done, which should be enough for him to take another thirty or fifty wives and concubines.

After testing the power of the Time Set, Su Qing smiled apologetically at Liu Qianpiao, who had unfortunately become the guinea pig. With a wave of his sleeve, Liu Qianpiao felt a gentle breeze on his face, and then the gas clouds and himself inside them shattered like a dream!
At this point, Liu Qianpiao realized that Su Qing had just been using him to experiment on some kind of Taoist magic!
Logically speaking, it would be very impolite and unsafe to use him for experiments without even asking him first.

Since it's a newly established supernatural method, it's inherently unstable and unsafe. What if something goes wrong? Even if nothing goes wrong, did I agree to it? Am I obligated to help him with his experiments? Am I that worthless?

Sigh! I'm just that pathetic!
Liu Qianpiao took a deep breath, as if inhaling all her anger and humiliation back into her stomach, and then exhaled with a fawning and flattering smile.

"Master Su is truly a genius in cultivation. He can casually wield a supernatural power with such fluidity and skill that it is unheard of and leaves people in awe..."

"It's just a little trick, nothing special. It's just that it's a new creation and I couldn't resist the urge to try it. My actions just now were a bit reckless and offended Master Liu. If Master Liu is willing, I'm willing to offer a few puppets as compensation."

Su Qing raised her hand to stop Liu Qianpiao's insincere flattery, knowing that he was unhappy at the moment, and spared no expense to bring out several of his most treasured and desirable Passion Puppet sets to satisfy him.

Seeing Su Qing's reaction, Liu Qianpiao's slight displeasure vanished instantly.

Su Ji puppets are known for their high quality and high price. The rare "Burning Passion Puppet" is a limited edition puppet. It is said that Su Qing himself has announced that he will no longer make such puppets. They are becoming increasingly rare. In the West Sea black market, the price of this puppet has been driven up to the sky by those unscrupulous merchants.

If he could obtain a collector's edition of the Passion Puppet by simply being a guinea pig and enduring a painless humiliation, all he could say was...

Su Yifu, you insulted me again!
Under other circumstances, given his personality of preferring to suffer for his second brother rather than for him, he would definitely not have been able to refuse the passionate puppet.

But this time, he refused and made another request to Su Qing.

"You want to use this cloud of energy to do that kind of thing?" Su Qing was horrified.

Although he ran an adult products store in his previous life and was a professional condom seller, he never expected that after arriving in the cultivation world and achieving the fourth-level Nascent Soul stage, someone would still ask him to do this business.

"Master Su, you don't know, I don't have many hobbies in my life, but I love doing 'that'. But now I'm preparing to advance to the fifth rank, so I should give it up. But this stuff is addictive. If I could really quit, I would have done it long ago. I can't just chop off my little brother, can I? Without my little brother, what's the point of advancing to the fifth rank? How can I be happy then..."

Liu Qianpiao rambled on and on about his troubles.

Although Su Qing really wanted to say that if he really couldn't control his second brother, it wouldn't be a problem to chop him up, after advancing to the fifth rank, he could refine a puppet second brother for him, which would still work. Back then, Niu Ya replaced him with one, and his sister-in-law used it and said it was good, giving it five-star reviews!

But clearly, given how much Liu Qianpiao valued his second brother, he was unwilling to risk him and preferred the original second brother.

After patiently listening to his request, Su Qing reluctantly gave him hundreds of air balls.

These energy clouds are not very useful; they can only clone his state at a certain moment in the past, and each state can only last for thirty seconds, possessing one or two-thousandths of his original strength.

Is thirty seconds enough?

"That's enough, absolutely enough! Enough for me to use twice!"

"You absolutely must not use it in battle. Of course, I'm talking about serious battles, not battles against the Puppet Girl."

"Of course! I wouldn't want to use such a good thing in a fight!"

"But can indulging in your past self really be of any use?"

"I think so. When the urge strikes again, I'll let my past self do it, and I'll just watch from the sidelines. My past self won't deplete my own energy, but I can still feel the pleasure it experiences. No, with the added thrill of watching, it'll be double the pleasure!"

"Alright, Chenghui, it's 53,000 spirit stones. I'll waive the change, so just give me 50,000!"

"Huh? Didn't you say it was a gift for me? You didn't say I had to pay spirit stones! And it's so expensive!"

"The first fifty were as an apology gift to you, but didn't I already give you over a hundred? The rest are a thousand spirit stones each. Is that expensive? I made these with the Four Imperial Dao Patterns. Think about it, besides me, who else has the Four Imperial Dao Patterns? And would someone with the Four Imperial Dao Patterns make something like this for you?"

There is nothing to hesitate about.

For the sake of his second brother and for his own advancement, he readily paid 50,000 spirit stones. However, these are consumables, and who knows how much this True Person Su will exploit him in the future.

Never mind, let's live for today and enjoy the good life to the fullest!

The moment Liu Qianpiao, holding the Time Pouch, happily embraced the puppet and opened the door, a slight breeze blew into the room. With this breeze, several eavesdropping puppets landed in the corners of the room.

This eavesdropping puppet was as small as a speck of dust, and it was decorated with fifth-order spatial runes and fifth-order concealment runes. Even a fourth-order Nascent Soul cultivator would find it extremely difficult to detect unless one had a special talent in divine sense. Even someone like Liu Qianpiao, whose special talent was only his second brother, was not detected by it after being eavesdropped on for several days.

He not only eavesdropped on Liu Qianpiao, but he also eavesdropped on several other real people on an equal footing.

It's not that I don't trust them, it's just that my usual caution prevails.

These few True Immortals are quite powerful, each possessing the prestige of the fourth rank. They can't cause any trouble while they're on the same boat with him now, but if they were placed in the far west, apart from a few people like Ying Jue Shen, no one could control them.

Moreover, these real people are of mixed backgrounds, including elders from ancient tribes in the Southern Frontier, rogue cultivators from Penglai Immortal Island, and representatives from the Immortal Qin Martial Kingdom and the Pingxi Martial Kingdom. Their identities and the interests behind them determine that they will not be as loyal as they currently appear.

Now that they have arrived in the far west, Su Qing will entrust them with important tasks and assign them to various mines. Naturally, he needs to be fully aware of their actions.

This batch of eavesdropping puppets was specially crafted for them. Fourth-tier spatial stealth puppet—Dust Eavesdropping Puppet!

Apart from this puppet.

During the two decades he wandered the Western Sea, seemingly doing nothing, he also developed several other types of puppets.

For example, inspired by the disintegration patterns that explode from the nine holes, the fission-type Zerg puppet—the Desperate Hive—was created.

The Earth Dragon Armor Puppet is a true dragon-type armor puppet created by drawing inspiration from the Azure Dragon Dao pattern.

Inspired by the process of trying to create a loyal and filial cavalry general-type puppet, the Five Tiger Generals were created.

In short, during his more than twenty years of wandering, he amassed a large number of blueprints for new types of puppets.

Now, after setting foot in the far west, he is utilizing the spiritual mines there, as well as the many other resources that are gathering there.

All these blueprints will come to life in his hands!

This is also his biggest source of confidence in turning this place into a puppet immortal kingdom!

The inexhaustible mineral resources buried underground in the far west for countless years, the unique new type of puppets, the puppet production capacity comparable to three or five immortal kingdoms like Penglai combined, and the almost 100% success rate of refining high-quality products once he leveled up his proficiency.

All of these will create a rhythm that belongs to Su Qing in this era of chaos and vying for supremacy!

······
"Disaster! The envoy is beyond saving!"

"What's going on? Weren't the people of the Immortal Qin Martial Kingdom supposed to be incredibly resilient and physically strong? They couldn't even handle a few cups of poisoned wine?"

"Is that wine poisoned?"

"Of course it's poisonous! Didn't you see how even Master Su's puppets didn't dare to approach the spilled wine on the ground?"

"This is troublesome. This envoy came with the friendship of the Immortal Qin Martial Kingdom. Of all places to die, he had to die at Master Su's residence. Isn't this deliberately making things difficult for Master Su?"

The westernmost city, the Su residence.

The wind roared and the cranes roared, and the grass and trees were all in war.

Admittedly, the Immortal Qin Martial Kingdom is far from the far west, and there has been no past communication between the two sides. In the foreseeable future, due to the large number of intervening powers, it will be difficult to establish a stable trade route. Therefore, the relationship between this Immortal Kingdom and the far west is not actually that important.

But just because it's unimportant doesn't mean they can let their envoy die in the far west, especially in the mansion of Su Zhenren, the actual controller of the far west!
No one knew how to explain this to the Immortal Qin Kingdom, and they were even more troubled about how to explain it to Master Su, who was about to arrive in the far west.

Although Hongshang is a puppet and is quite intelligent, she is not, after all, a being like Hudan or Xiong Er who have awakened independent consciousness.

When Su Qing plans tasks for her, she executes them very well.

However, if an unexpected situation arises, such as the one before us, there is very little that Hongshang can do.

The Su residence was immediately sealed off to prevent any suspicious individuals from escaping.

Hongshang immediately contacted Su Qing and reported the situation in detail.

Meanwhile, Su Qing, who was sitting alone at the bow of the ship, feeling hopeful about the future, never expected that an accident would come before the future.

After checking the time and confirming that several minutes had passed, enough for Liu Qianpiao to have her pleasure several times, given that her average time was only fifteen seconds.

He urgently summoned all the real people.

Since we are already close to land, the influence of the West Sea's abysmal tides is negligible, and there is no need to use the treasure ship to travel any further. Even a fourth-tier Nascent Soul cultivator carrying a ship is faster than using the treasure ship.

After putting away the treasure ship, Su Qing took the lead, heading straight for the far west with nine True Immortals. He wanted to see what was going on, who was causing him trouble, and who was courting death!
Ten bolts of lightning flashed and landed in the eyes of the cultivators in the far west.

They felt as if it were the end of the world, which filled them with immense fear.

"This aura? It's at least at the fourth-tier Nascent Soul level!"

"Ten fourth-tier Nascent Soul cultivators? Good heavens, who have we in the Far West offended to warrant such a force against us?"

"No, things are getting better every day!"

"Is it Penglai? It must be those bastards!"

"Kill these bastards!"

Within the city of the far west, alarms sounded everywhere, and the immortals trembled.

Despite the fact that the current Far West City, under the command of the Su Ji Group and with the coordinated efforts of various forces, has been built into a fortified city with powerful artillery and possesses a comprehensive tactical system covering air, land, and sea.

However, when this city defense faces ten fourth-tier Nascent Soul cultivators who represent the highest combat power in the Tianyuan Realm, it fails to provide anyone with a sense of security.

What terrified the millions of immortals inside and outside the city of the far west was...

With a formidable enemy at hand, only Su Ji's puppets and second-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators were stationed on the city wall. None of the important figures in the Far West City, such as Ying Jueshen and Master Liaode, had appeared!

"As expected, outside cultivators are unreliable. They all cower in the face of trouble! If we really want to protect the Far West, we have to rely on our own people from the Far West!"

"But what about our own people from the Far West? Why hasn't a single member of the Elders' Hall shown up?"

"Yes, it's not surprising that the visiting cultivators don't show up, but the elders shouldn't be absent!"

"Ten fourth-tier Nascent Soul cultivators have arrived, and they're not worried at all? If they're not worried, then I'm not worried either. There's no use in being worried. Let them kill me or bury me, it's up to them!"

First-stage Qi Refining cultivators, second-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, and many cultivators from the far west who had just embarked on their cultivation journey were all eager to find a leader who could guide them through this calamity after realizing that no powerful figures from the far west had appeared.

Suddenly, in the city of the far west, the cultivators on whom they had placed their hopes all vanished into the air. At the same time, inside and outside the far west, countless hidden corners saw puppets emerge from places that no one usually paid attention to. Holding long guns and short cannons, they fired into the air, creating dazzling fireworks in the cold night.

Amidst a sea of ​​fireworks, the powerful figures from the far west, who were usually beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators, who soared into the sky above the city, respectfully bowed in the direction of the ten True Immortals:

"All cultivators of the far west respectfully welcome the arrival of True Person Su!" (End of Chapter)
