Immortality begins with meditation puppets

"Heroes' Tournament Today's Report: After nearly a month of fierce competition, the final top ten in all events were finally determined yesterday. In the highly anticipated events such as Battle, Formation, Alchemy, Enlightenment, and Puppetry, major sects such as the Yuanshi Sect, Lingbao Sect, and Taishang Sect lived up to expectations and achieved victories in all events. It is particularly noteworthy that the local power of Tianyuan, Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom, performed far beyond expectations in several events with higher weight. In addition to its ruler Su Qing, contestants such as Undying Armor - Shao Delong, Armored Divine General - Ying Jueshen, and Moon Fairy - Liu Yun'er also performed exceptionally well, helping Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom to enter the top ten of the points ranking and have the potential to become a top-tier power. On the other hand, the Penglai Immortal Kingdom's team of gods failed to break through in the top 100 competition, which was a huge surprise and also made people think about the value of artificial gods."

"Today's battle formation showdown is out. The Lingbao sword cultivator who just eliminated Su Qing's puppet A-San will face the challenge of Su Qing, the master of A-San. Will the Little Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation continue to be invincible? Will Su Qing be able to avenge his puppet? Lock in the arena at 3:45 AM today, number 0547."

"Breaking news! The Snail Emperor Sect has announced that it will no longer calculate points independently. All points earned by the sect now and in the future will be merged into the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom. This move has been unanimously condemned by the Yuanshi Sect, Lingbao Sect and other participating sects. The major sects are also urgently contacting friendly sects."

"Su Qing, the sect leader of Taiyi Sect, has announced that all the points earned by Taiyi Sect disciples will be included in the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom. This move has been met with strong protests from opposing forces within the sect. However, because Su Qing has the Yin-Yang Creation Blade in his left hand and the portrait of the patriarch in his right, with the patriarch backing him up and in control of the sect's moral principles, the Taiyi Sect disciples dare not speak out and can only let him do as he pleases."

"It is said that the Luo Hou Sect is in contact with the Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom, the Joyful Union Sect, the Heartless Mountain, and other sects, trying to persuade them to be more open-minded and not confined to their own small sect interests. They should, like the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom, concentrate their efforts on major tasks and transfer the points of each sect to the Luo Hou Sect, so that the demonic path can also give birth to a top-tier power, which can better secure benefits for the demonic path in the future. The various demonic sects agree with the idea of ​​concentrating their efforts on major tasks, but they disagree on who should take on this important task. In the end, they parted on bad terms and went their separate ways."

"Recently, sea monsters have been frequently spotted in various sea areas of Tianyuan West Sea, and evil spirits have also been causing trouble in various places. Some cultivators are worried that as major forces focus their attention on the Heroes' Assembly, the defenses of various places in Tianyuan are weakened, and evil spirits and sea monsters may be stirring up trouble, causing incalculable losses to Tianyuan."

"According to news from all heavens, after the last attempt by the demons to break through the barrier was thwarted, the thirteen demon realms have once again organized a demon army and stationed their troops outside the Heavenly Gate of Tianyuan. Although they are still unable to break through the blockade of sects such as the Yuanshi Sect and are blocked outside the Heavenly Gate by the Qiankun Wuji Formation, preventing them from entering the Tianyuan Realm to wreak havoc, these demons have not withdrawn. Instead, they have begun to intercept cultivators of all races who attempt to enter the Tianyuan Realm, trying to alleviate the pressure on the demons within the Tianyuan Realm."

······
While the outside world was filled with chaotic news, Su Qing and Liu Yun'er felt at peace within the Su residence.

At this moment, the cold and beautiful witch of the Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom and the Moonlit Dance Fairy of the Heroes' Gathering are nothing more than a little white rabbit lying on Su Qing's chest, being devoured clean.

Last night, when Su Qing handed Huang Li, who had fled from Penglai to Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom, over to Liu Yun'er for her to deal with, the witch Liu Yun'er's long-held obsession was finally broken. During the process of dealing with Huang Li, she learned that Huang Li had offered up the deepest secrets of the Huang family that had been kept for many years, as well as most of the Huang family's wealth, but Su Qing was not moved at all. She insisted on handing him over to her, just so that she could have her own thoughts and avenge the massacre of her family years ago.

Liu Yun'er was immediately overcome with emotion, and Su Qing, who had been unable to restrain himself since learning that the witch had advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, couldn't hold back any longer after touching the witch's body, which was almost overflowing with desire.

Su Qing couldn't remember how many times she had been happy that night.

He only remembered the flickering lights in the spirit house, the shy and timid face of the bewitching witch, her slender waist, and her most intoxicating hips, which made him move up and down, left and right, stopping and starting, from the dark of night until dawn.

Even now, he has no intention of completely ceasing hostilities; he is merely taking a break to read the newspapers. Once the witch recovers, he will naturally continue to lash her out.

"Master Shi has treated Yun'er well all these years. Do you think it's not a good idea for me to leave the Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom now?"

Liu Yun'er followed Su Qing and read the newspaper for a while, then suddenly asked a question.

The situation in the Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom is indeed not good.

Although the disciples of this sect made significant progress in the war against Pingxi Wu Kingdom, their rise to power was still relatively recent. While they might dominate a region within the Tianyuan Realm, they paled in comparison to the major sects of the heavens. Originally, Lü Wentian had some hope in the Spirit Assassin project, but unfortunately, he encountered a veteran sixth-ranked expert from the heavens in the top 100 competition. His strength was inferior, and he couldn't outmaneuver others, resulting in his elimination. The vast Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom was left with only Shi Lijing to carry the burden. However, the project he participated in was Spirit Pattern Master. Even if he made it into the final top ten, his score would not be high due to the low weight of the project. At least, it wouldn't allow the Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom, which was already ranked outside the top 200, to rise to the level of a second-tier power.

"Master Shi is indeed a good person. After all, he has raised someone else's son for so many years, carefully nurturing him and treating him as his own. His character is worthy of respect. Now that the Desire Immortal Kingdom has fallen behind, I should of course give them a hand. Let's wait a few more days until the final competition and the points rankings are settled. Then I will share some points with him."

Su Qing had clearly planned ahead and had already prepared methods to help the Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yun'er straightened up, her cascading black hair swaying gently, brushing against her shapely breasts covered in red marks, causing Su Qing to involuntarily place his thieving hand on them.

"Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom is still short of points to break into the top tier. We don't even have enough points ourselves, so how can we give them to outsiders? We can't give them these points. The Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom can't break into the second tier because they are incompetent. There's no reason for my man to make up for it!"

As if Su Qing had pinched her too hard, Liu Yun'er let out a soft moan before firmly speaking to Su Qing. Clearly, although she had lived in the Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom for hundreds of years, she had not yet come to regard it as her own home. Upon hearing that Su Qing wanted to share it with them, she immediately became unhappy.

Su Qing was satisfied with her stance, but the points still had to be allocated to the Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom.

"Who said I was going to try to become a top-tier power? You know how big a tree catches the wind, right? Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom has only been established for a hundred years. How can it have the deep foundation of sects like Yuanshi Sect and Lingbao Sect? If we become a top-tier power, we'll have to be at the forefront of everything. Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom can't afford that. It's best for Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom to stay a top-tier power and develop steadily behind the top-tier powers!"

"But you've put in so much effort for this conference, and with the help of the Snail Emperor Sect and the Taiyi Sect, you're only one step away from becoming a top-tier power. If you can achieve that, you'll not only be able to take control of Tianyuan, but also become the overlord of all heavens. It would be a pity to give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Liu Yun'er pressed down on Su Qing's large hand that was playing tricks on her and said again.

She knew that Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom was weak. Not to mention compared with behemoths like Yuanshi Sect and Lingbao Sect, it was even slightly weaker than Yumo Immortal Kingdom. Before the conference, Liu Yun'er, like everyone else, only thought that Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom had a chance to maintain second place and strive for first. In order to help Su Qing achieve this goal, she even shamelessly went to Hebi Love, Hebi Do to learn dance skills, in order to get more points for Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom in the dance category.

However, as the competition progressed, the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom revealed its hidden talents, with Su Qing himself becoming a score-farming maniac. Coupled with the addition of top-tier forces like the Snail Emperor Sect and the Taiyi Sect, the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom had already climbed into the top three on the leaderboard. How could this not inspire anticipation for the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom's rise to the ranks of a super-tier power? It must be understood that becoming a super-tier power carries heavy responsibilities, but also immense power. The ability to coordinate the resources and creations of the heavens, arrange the actions of various forces, and the intangible prestige of being a super-powerful ruler of the heavens would be enough to put the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom on an accelerator, allowing its strength to expand at a rate more than a hundred times faster than normal development.

Both the Yuanshi Sect and the Lingbao Sect are going all out for such benefits, but the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom not only has no hope, but it would give up even if it had hope. Liu Yun'er cannot understand this.

Faced with Liu Yun'er's question, Su Qing just smiled and didn't say anything. Seeing her breathing slightly again under his big hands, and water flowing below, he just wanted to take advantage of this short time before the competition started to mount her again.

But Liu Yun'er pushed him away forcefully. Clearly, if he didn't explain things to her clearly today, this final battle would be ruined. How could that be? He was in the prime of his life, with his spear as sharp as iron. He hadn't participated in the spear-wielding event today, so he couldn't waste this excellent condition.

"I'll explain as I go. I'm taking a long time, and if I don't hurry, I'll miss the competition!"

Su Qing mounted his horse again, and Liu Yun'er could not resist. His spear once more charged across the battlefield. Su Qing, attacking from behind, utterly routed the witch, leaving her only able to whimper and gasp for breath. Just as she was being routed and no longer cared about her earlier questions, Su Qing, even amidst his charge, still had the strength to explain to her:

"The so-called Heroes' Gathering is nothing more than an exchange meeting to balance the various forces in the heavens. Everyone actually knows how strong each party is. If they can't convince everyone, they can simply refuse to recognize a points ranking."

With the strength of the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom, plus the Snail Emperor Sect and the Taiyi Sect, or even if I were to be shameless and have Gao Erqiang and Tong Chang attribute the points of the Xingsha Divine Kingdom and Langya Immortal Island to my Immortal Kingdom, it wouldn't be impossible to force together a top-tier power.

But can this gain the approval of all the forces in the myriad realms? There are only five top-tier forces: the Witch Clan, the Demon Clan, and the Ancient Dragon Clan already occupy three of them. The remaining two should be the Lingbao Sect and the Yuanshi Sect. It would be inappropriate for the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom to squeeze out either of them, and those squeezed out would certainly not accept this result. Why not hold another Heroes' Gathering or a Pride Gathering another day and hold another one?

Besides, we can merge the points of other sects. The Yuanshi Sect and Lingbao Sect have countless subordinate sects and affiliated forces. When they also start merging sects and calculating points, who can compare to them?

Rather than undeservingly seizing this top-tier power and inflicting harm on the Lingbao Sect and Yuanshi Sect, it's better to relinquish it early, solidify our position as a top-tier power, and then support a few friendly forces, such as the Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom, the Bodhi Buddha Kingdom, and the Fire Phoenix Immortal Kingdom. This will allow them to increase their influence in the future anti-demon alliance, which will also help increase the influence of my Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom.

After Su Qing finished speaking, he saw that Liu Yun'er had already thrust her hips back and launched a counterattack against him. He knew that she had reached a critical moment. Whether he could completely subdue her in this final battle depended on his next sprint. So he stopped caring whether she had heard his explanation and focused on dealing with the battle in front of him.

The fighting was particularly fierce, and Su Qing was also firing at full force.

As the sun rose high in the sky, the starting cannon salute for the competition resounded across the city. Only then did the witch let out a high-pitched, mournful cry in response to the cannon salute. Afterward, this witch, who had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and had once cultivated the secret art of the Joyful Union, felt as if her body had fallen apart. She could only watch helplessly as Su Qing, like a victorious general, proudly donned his armor and pushed open the door.

"My dear wife, please rest well at home. We will celebrate together all night when I return victorious!"

"Are you coming again tonight? I can't. Go find Ling Ying." The witch, completely subdued, shook her head in fear and refused.

"Ah, Madam is going with Ling Ying? That's easy. I will definitely bring her here. She is also a skilled fighter. If she joins forces with Madam, she will be able to fight me!"

Before Liu Yun'er could refuse again, Su Qing transformed into a rainbow of light and landed on the top ten arena with a radiant face.

And this moment.

On the arena, four sword cultivators stood solemnly with their swords in hand. Upon their arrival, the four of them were like four unsheathed swords, their sword energy soaring into the sky, instantly transforming the arena into an endless sea of ​​swords.

The invisible sword energy filled the surroundings, and each piece of sword energy had the ability to kill a cultivator at the third level of physical cultivation. This was something that Ah San had already witnessed when he fought against these four spiritual treasure sword cultivators.

Ah San was truly unlucky. Of his three puppets who had developed self-awareness, Xiong Er now held dozens of top ten positions in various projects and had become the talk of the town at this conference, earning him the nickname "Boundless Powerful Buddha Xiong" throughout the heavens. Although Hu Dan was not as versatile as Xiong Er, he performed exceptionally well in the swordsmanship due to its special status among cultivators throughout the heavens, making it into the top ten and gaining fame as well, known as the Heavenly Origin Sword Tiger. Only Ah San, after a hundred years of training and diligent practice in battle formations, encountered the Lesser Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation in the elimination round of fifty to twenty-five. Facing this ancient and renowned formation, along with four well-coordinated Nascent Soul sword cultivators, Ah San's defeat could only be attributed to his bad luck.

And what about Su Qing?

As a novice in the art of formations who has never studied formations and is only used to planting flags and going into battle, it is already a miracle that he was able to reach the top ten in the art of formations. Today, facing this Lesser Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, he will probably be exposed for what he is, and it would be good enough if he lost as gracefully as an Indian.

correct!

How did he manage to become one of the top ten in the Array Dao? (End of Chapter)
