Immortality begins with meditation puppets

The Great Evolution God sighed. He hadn't waited for Su Qing either, but instead saw him directly touch the fragment, and no one knew what he intended to do.

If one could discern the profound mysteries of the Dao patterns by touching them, then the Primordial Sect, having handled this fragment for so long, should have already mastered its intricacies.

Young people are too impatient!

It is also because the Heavenly Court has lost its position and the Human Court is temporarily absent. Cultivators in the world have never been baptized by the true authority, so they lack a sense of awe for this fragment of Dao pattern that contains the ultimate truth of the Great Dao. If it were in ancient times, once this fragment of Dao pattern appeared, the Heavenly Court, the Human Court, and the Demon Court would all be shaken. They would have to kneel and kowtow three times and perform great rites to invite it to the hands of the important figures of each side. How could it be like now, where the Yuanshi Sect uses it as a competition prop and Su Qing just reaches out and takes it.

With people's hearts no longer what they used to be, what more can be said? The Great Evolution Divine Lord had no more interest in lecturing, so he sat down on the ground and silently began to comprehend the Dao patterns on the talisman wall.

Even with his abilities, he couldn't comprehend the true form of the Dao patterns from these countless fragments. However, in ancient times, he specialized in deducing divine arts for the Heavenly Court. Due to his position, he had seen and read countless Dao patterns, and his understanding of Dao patterns was unparalleled. From these few Dao bird-script characters in the fragments, he could probably deduce a rudimentary divine art. It might not be of great use, but it would be more than enough to handle this competition.

While the Great Evolution Divine Lord was silently deducing, Su Qing, who held the Dao pattern fragment in his hand, hurriedly copied the bird-shaped Dao talisman on the Dao pattern and engraved it on his own palm.

That was all he could do.

Compared to the Great Evolution Divine Lord, Su Qing's cultivation time was relatively short, and he had no famous teacher to guide him. He had only skimmed through some Daoist classics, mostly miscellaneous notes and wild books, and had only a superficial understanding of bird-script Daoist talismans. He couldn't make any sense of it just by reading them.

The only hope is that the Dao patterns contained within this fragment are among the Dao patterns needed to refine the Puppet Immortal. In that case, the Puppet Immortal itself can analyze the information of this Dao pattern during the process of refining the Puppet Immortal, without needing him to use his brain.

Good luck!

This Dao pattern is exactly the Dao pattern that the Puppet Immortal needs!

Just as he finished copying the bird-shaped Daoist talisman on the pattern in his hand, a surge of heat flowed through his palm, melting the strands of the talisman into shimmering points of light like fireflies, which then rushed into his mind.

Upon receiving the Dao pattern light spots, images immediately appeared in Su Qing's sea of ​​consciousness. Su Qing, who was already accustomed to this process, was not surprised. He calmly adjusted his state of mind and prepared to receive the Dao pattern baptism.

It was a grand affair from the start.

Then, a golden light shone brightly on the horizon, illuminating the magnificent palace. From among the celestial palaces, armored deities emerged, majestic and imposing, their expressions solemn and dignified.

On the other hand, the opponent was nothing more than a lone monkey in full armor.

Good heavens, this is truly a grand spectacle! This is a scene from the ancient Heavenly Court bullying the innocent Great Sage!

Although Su Qing was uneducated and incompetent, he had heard and seen this grand play countless times in his past and present lives. He never expected to be able to experience it in person one day. He was so excited that he didn't know what to do. He could only take out a recording talisman to take back so that everyone in the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom could have a good laugh. With this play, he could open a theater in the Immortal Kingdom and he wouldn't have to worry about not having an audience.

Because it was a demonstration of Dao patterns, scenes unrelated to Dao patterns and supernatural powers were cut. Therefore, it is a pity that we did not hear the Great Sage's verbal sparring with the opposing celestial being before they started fighting.

One of the gods, wielding a giant, ornately carved axe, charged forward, followed closely by the other heavenly generals. The gods, outnumbering the monkey, were about to commit a cruel and unspeakable act against the lone monkey in broad daylight.

In an instant, a cold wind howled, and a strange fog descended. Banners fluttered in the corridor, while halberds gleamed on this side. Helmets gleamed, armor shone. The gleaming helmets reflected the sun like silver chimes striking the heavens; the gleaming armor, built against the cliff face, resembled icebergs pressing down on the earth. Great sabers flashed like lightning, white spears pierced through the fog and clouds. Halberds and whips were arrayed like a forest of hemp; bronze swords and shovels were lined up like dense trees. Bows and crossbows, adorned with feathered arrows, and short clubs and serpent spears held souls within their grasp.

Of the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, which one was weak and which one lacked unique skills? The poor Great Sage Monkey King suffered injustice but had no way to seek redress. When surrounded, he had no help. He was of poor birth and his master did not recognize him. Who could he turn to for help?

With only a monkey and a staff, the Great Sage wanted to fight for justice for the monkey. He wielded the iron staff and the monkey spear, displaying the power of heaven and earth, seventy-two transformations, and boundless magic and martial prowess. However, this was not a one-on-one fight. A lone monkey could not fight against four hands. Forced into a corner, the Great Sage painfully plucked thousands of monkey hairs from his body. In an instant, each hair transformed a thousand times. Some were as unruly as the Great Sage, while others were as hideous as divine generals. But most of them were in the form of various demons such as bear demons, tiger demons, and snake demons. This was not surprising for the Great Sage. As a single monkey, he had seen many great beings and sages. He had been born among demons and beasts, and even when he created clones, he was only familiar with these demons.

Evil cannot prevail over good, and justice will surely triumph. With a single hair, the Great Sage instantly turned the tide of battle, his clone confronting the heavenly soldiers. The Great Sage then went to find trouble with the carved giant axe general. The general looked familiar, as if he were the one he had summoned with talismans. He was quite powerful, but in front of the Great Sage, he didn't even deserve a name. He was beaten so badly by the Great Sage that he fled in terror. Su Qing watched with great satisfaction.

By this time, the strange phenomenon of Dao pattern transmission had ended.

As he was still savoring the experience, the specific information about the Dao pattern surfaced in his mind.

[Spiritual Doppelganger]

[Quality: Five Veterans]

[Type: Supernatural Powers]

[Current completeness: 0.11122%]

[Current proficiency: Tier 4 (Maximum Tier 8, increases with the completeness of the Dao pattern and the improvement of understanding of this Dao pattern.)]

[Introduction: All races and beings are less valuable than stubborn rocks and rotten wood, but they possess a bit of spirit. Only those with spirit can understand human feelings and affairs, and can also cultivate themselves and achieve longevity.]

Among them, there are those with strong spirituality, whose bodies, hair, skin, blood, sweat, and saliva all contain a bit of their spirituality. With this spirituality, they can take on different forms and become different things. If they become dogs, they can run fast and chase well, with a keen sense of smell. If they become eagles, they can soar through the universe with sharp beaks and claws.

In ancient times, a great sage comprehended this Dao rune and used it to create the Great Avatar Universal Movement Technique, which he passed on to all races. Many attained mastery through its practice, but the technique itself was inferior to supernatural powers; its power and ability were far inferior to the supernatural power of this Dao rune itself.

[Ability 1: Even after death, the spirit remains. Mastering this Daoist rune allows one to revive even after death, as long as the spirit endures. One can then use this to create a new body and live another life.]

[Ability Two: Nourishing the Spirit and Body. By mastering this Daoist pattern, one can strengthen their spirit and cultivate their temperament at all times, greatly enhancing their primordial spirit and spiritual nature.]

[Ability Three: Hundred Transformations and Clones. Using a wisp of skin or hair as a vessel, one can create countless clones, each possessing its own form and power. The strength depends on the user's cultivation level, spiritual vitality, and the inherent abilities of the transformed being. (Currently, the maximum number of clones that can be created is one fourth-tier Nascent Soul cultivator. The more clones created, the weaker each clone becomes. If transforming into mortals or beasts, millions can be created.)]

[Comment: Only heroes and loyal righteous people live on, their bodies may die, but their spirits endure.]

“Spiritual clone? This Dao pattern sounds familiar. That’s right. The inner Dao records of the Taiyi Sect state that the sect’s founder, the Taiyi Dao Master, once mastered this Dao pattern. With the power of this Dao pattern and the Yin-Yang Creation Blade, he enabled the true spirit of the Taiyi True Disciple, Prince Nezha, to be born from a lotus root.”

Su Qing muttered to himself, thinking that by mastering this Dao pattern, he had further solidified his position as the sect leader of the Taiyi Sect. "The ancestral master's portrait protects me, I use the ancestral master's artifact, and the ancestral master's Dao pattern favors me. If I don't become the sect leader, how can you face the ancestral master?"

"The Primordial Sect is quite good. They just threw out some scraps and I got a rune to help me. I wonder if they have any more fragments of runes left. I'll ask around when I get the chance. Don't give me this stuff, I'm not picky!"

Just as he was secretly pleased with himself, he suddenly heard a loud commotion nearby.

This public competition is never peaceful. The spectators and gamblers make a fuss over every little thing.

Su Qing was already used to it, but when she came to her senses, she was startled.

It turned out that in the short time it took him to digest the Dao patterns, the Great Evolution Divine Lord actually deduced something from them. This made people sigh that the ancient divine lords really did have some real skills and abilities. Of course, it's not that Su Qing was incompetent, but his abilities were clearly not the same as those of the Great Evolution Divine Lord.

Having already mastered this Dao pattern and with victory already in his grasp, he could now observe the Great Evolution Divine Lord's deductions with the relaxed mindset of an onlooker.

Several blue clouds appeared above his head, transforming into the shape of a bird-shaped Taoist talisman. In an instant, they changed into various shapes, drifting and uncertain, with no fixed form.

Based on this, the Great Evolution Divine Lord gained some insight and characterized this Dao pattern as belonging to several directions such as clone, transformation, and impermanence. He then verified it one by one with Qingyun. Through the results fed back by Qingyun, he eliminated one suspect after another and finally locked it onto the clone-type Dao pattern.

These methods were enough to amaze Su Qing, making him realize the gap between him, a lone soldier, and those learned men who had received proper education from the Heavenly Court.

This was just the beginning. After determining the attributes of the Dao patterns, the Great Evolution Divine Lord began to deduce Dao techniques and divine arts based on them.

The art of creating clones is widely practiced throughout the myriad realms and the Tianyuan homeland. Well-known examples include the Shadow Clone Technique, the Blood Clone Technique, and the Illusionary Great Art. More powerful techniques include the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones and the Four Symbols Clone Technique.

Due to the tight schedule and heavy workload, the Great Evolution Divine Lord had no choice but to draw on the existing clone techniques in the world. Based on the principles of these techniques, he incorporated a bit of the essence of this Dao pattern and created a rudimentary divine technique.

Regardless of whether this divine technique was created in its early stages or has many imperfections, and regardless of whether it borrowed from ancient techniques of predecessors and was not purely original, it is still relevant.

Undoubtedly, this divine art is a new type of divine art that has never existed in the world before. It is a protective divine art that most gods in the world have been racking their brains for thousands of years and may not be able to create!
Such divine techniques, performed by the Great Evolution Divine Lord, took only a quarter of an hour, truly opening everyone's eyes. No wonder all the cultivators below the stage, regardless of their cultivation level or knowledge, exclaimed in amazement and praise.

The loudest voices come from the gamblers who, no matter when or where, participate in a betting game and have an even stronger desire to win than the players themselves.

"I shouldn't have listened to you and bet on Su Qing! Bet on Su Qing! He's just a greenhorn. How can he be as steady and reliable as the Great Evolution Divine Lord? We're doomed! We're doomed! This time, not only will we lose all our savings, but we'll also lose our family!"

"Sigh, when the Great Evolution Divine Lord was talking so eloquently, Su Qing could only echo him from the sidelines. I had a bad feeling about this, knowing that he might be a charlatan without any real talent. Now it seems that this is indeed the case. The Great Evolution Divine Lord came straight up and demonstrated the divine technique, while Su Qing stared blankly like a dumb goose with empty hands!"

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe he has hidden talents that he's not showing now. Maybe he'll give us a surprise after the Great Evolution God Lord finishes his performance!"

"Three aces don't matter, as long as I haven't revealed my cards, I haven't lost yet, right?"

Aside from a few gamblers who were unwilling and resentful because reality was too cruel, countless cultivators inside and outside the arena already believed that the outcome of this match was already decided. The old but still vigorous Great Evolution Divine Lord would undoubtedly trample the young Su Qing underfoot and rank among the top five in the enlightenment project.

The result is this, but the procedure still needs to be followed.

The Great Evolution God was also very confident in his achievements. With his hands behind his back, he began to demonstrate the divine technique he had just deduced.

But the person was seen twisting and writhing like dough, as if kneading a new dough out of the original body. The dough stretched and twisted, transforming into the person's appearance, walking and speaking, almost indistinguishable from the original.

"This is the Spirit Cloning Technique, currently a third-tier divine technique. When using this technique, the clone is virtually identical to the original body, and if the user does not engage in combat, there are almost no flaws to be found."

As the Great Evolution Divine Lord demonstrated and explained, the judges on both sides nodded frequently, their pens flying across the paper as they scored him. The judge from the Primordial Beginning Sect gave him the highest score. This was because the fragments of the talisman wall had been studied for many years within the Primordial Beginning Sect. Although they had not deduced any particularly powerful divine arts, they had deduced several third- or fourth-tier divine arts, most of which were clone techniques. Meanwhile, those who deduced these arts in the sect had taken at least a hundred years, and at most a thousand or ten thousand years, to achieve such results. If the Great Evolution Divine Lord could achieve this in three quarters of an hour, it would be considered a shady deal not to give him a high score.

The scores for the Great Evolution Divine Lord have just been released. With a remarkable score of 98 points from the ten judges, it almost certainly signals victory for the contest.

When Su Qing stepped into the center of the arena, everyone was still somewhat taken aback.

What is this for?

What do you want to demonstrate?

Hey buddy, if you don't have a job, don't force yourself. Losing to the Great Evolution God isn't shameful. Just get off the stage and participate in other events. Why come all this way, adding to the workload of the judges and making yourself look bad?

To the astonishment of the cultivators, Su Qing wiped the sweat from his forehead. The sweat fell to the ground and shattered into eight pieces, each of which transformed into the judges on the stage, the judges on both sides, and the many spectators below the stage.

The imitations of all living beings are so lifelike that their movements and postures are even more realistic than the real people themselves.

The clone that imitated the Great Evolution God was the most astonishing. Not only did it transform into the appearance of the Great Evolution God, but it also used the Great Evolution God's newly created divine technique, just like the Great Evolution God had just done, to recreate the Spirit-Possessing Clone Technique on the arena.

The difference in skill and ability is immediately apparent in victory or defeat.

No judges' scores are required.

The Great Evolution Divine Lord bowed deeply to Su Qing, simply admitting defeat!

What good will it do if we don't admit defeat?
They've actually replicated the Dao patterns!

With just a few strokes of Daoist bird script, can a complete Daoist pattern be replicated?
This is outrageous!
But that's not surprising. The Heavenly Emperor can't be just anyone, can he? (End of Chapter)
