Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Growth is a slow process of being hammered; the more times you are hammered, the more you grow.

Therefore, Qian Xuzi, relying on his age, claimed that he could lecture Su Qing, but Su Qing did not accept it.

This old man was born noble. Let alone being beaten, judging from how he turned red in the face and almost couldn't catch his breath after being scolded, he probably rarely even had the experience of being scolded.

People who have never been proven wrong will only be immersed in their own prejudices, making them prone to spouting nonsense and talking rubbish!

The All-Heavens Merchant Guild is a powerful and deeply rooted organization. The Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom can either submit and become a part of it, or be crushed and annihilated. If it refuses, it will die.

All those powerful heroes from the heavens, who can fly like bricks, become the only ones who reign supreme in Tianyuan, leaving the local forces of Tianyuan to fawn over them. But when there are opportunities for sudden wealth or fortuitous events, they always rush to give way to these powerful heroes, leaving the local forces of Tianyuan to beg on their knees.

This is not just Qian Xuzi's prejudice, but the prejudice of countless cultivators from all the heavens who stood behind him and pushed him to the forefront!

According to Su Qing, they are all going to get hammered!

If we don't crack down on them, they won't accept reality!

This is also the true theme of this Heroes' Gathering!
To reconcile the division of interests between cultivators from all realms and native cultivators of Tianyuan!

reconcile?

Harmonize my ass!

If harmony can be achieved, what's the point of everyone's arduous spiritual practice? In the end, it all comes down to who has the bigger fist!

Today, in this competition for the top ten of the Puppet Dao, Qian Xuzi, representing the forces of the heavens, has launched an attack against us. It is foreseeable that in the next competition for the top ten of other events, the local cultivators of Tianyuan will also face targeting from the cultivators of the heavens!

And that's why they dared to do it.

It's simply because they feel that Su Qing, or rather the local forces in Tianyuan, don't have the power to overturn the table.

But Su Qing has it!

It really exists!

Su Qing decided to show them, and she would show them right now!
There are no signs.

Before Qian Xuzi could process Su Qing's profanity and retaliate, Su Qing had already taken action against him.

Therefore, this arena competition is a puppet contest.

According to the rules, one must become a puppet ruler; Su Qing is a person who follows the rules.

Even when he hits someone, he wears the Qilin Arm Puppet. It's not that he hits the person; he's just the Qilin Arm Puppet's humanoid tool. It's the Qilin Arm Puppet that hits the person!
Having been nurtured to the limit of the fourth rank, and only a step away from the fifth rank of body cultivation, his surging physical body possesses the Great Witch True Spirit and the abnormal physique of the Witch Clan, allowing him to powerfully wield the Qilin Arm Puppet.

This punch was as fast as lightning and as powerful as the collapse of heaven and earth, striking down at Qian Xuzi from above.

As a professional puppeteer, Qian Xuzi values ​​focusing on his own path and is not good at close combat. Faced with Su Qing's sudden punch, he should obediently accept the blow.

But Su Qing knew that things wouldn't be that simple, and countless spectators both on and off the field knew it wouldn't be that simple either.

The various forces of the heavens had been biding their time, and now they were launching an attack on Su Qing in this top ten puppet competition.

Clearly, the goal is to crush Su Qing's strongest project, which is also the most impressive project in the Tianyuan Realm today, and shatter their confidence, thereby proving the strength and power of the various heavenly forces.

To achieve this goal, this old man must be carrying valuable items given to him by various forces across the heavens. A fourth-tier puppet goes without saying, but he must also have a fifth-tier puppet.

Su Qing had anticipated this, which is why she took the initiative to try and prevent the old man from using anything!

That old bastard is truly a scoundrel!
The hammer he had been charging up struck like a cannonball, landing right in front of him before he could even react, but the puppet on his body did.

With a series of loud cracking sounds, the old and weak Qian Xuzi suddenly sprouted a black golden battle armor around his body.

The armor shimmered with golden light and gleamed with silver luster. After the flowing golden liquid enveloped Qian Xuzi's entire body, his face contorted, transforming him into a cold and aloof young man completely different from Qian Xuzi. Though called armor, it resembled more of a metallic monster possessing Qian Xuzi's body.

Once the armor was formed, it immediately took control of Qian Xuzi's body. While Qian Xuzi was still in a daze, it lowered its waist, crossed its arms, and forcefully blocked Su Qing's hard fist.

"At such a young age, you resort to such despicable means, launching a surprise attack on this old man without warning. I've lived for so many years, and I'm not just sitting around doing nothing. I know you're cunning, so how could I not be on guard!"

Seeing that Su Qing's heavy punch was blocked and that he was completely surrounded by the armored puppet, Qian Xuzi, feeling very safe, straightened up again and sneered at Su Qing.

"Ancient God Armor Puppet! A fifth-tier armor puppet, a possession-type puppet that allows the user to borrow the power of an ancient god, and even allow the will of an ancient god to take over the battle!"
"A puppet is a good puppet, but it's a waste to have it with you!"

Su Qing snorted coldly, unconcerned that the punch had failed.

Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle. For every event he participates in, he gathers intelligence on his opponents and has puppets like Bad Guy and Red Robe to conduct pre-battle analysis.

This battle was no exception.

According to intelligence, although Qian Xuzi is a leading figure in the puppetry of the heavens, most of the puppets he created were simply imitations of his predecessors, and he never independently created any new puppets.

This is normal. This person is extremely conservative and instinctively resists anything new. In his view, creating puppets is a great act of rebellion. He would rather oppose it than devote himself to it.

However, the ancient god puppet in question is a completely new type of puppet.

These are puppets created by puppeteers of the heavens after the great calamity of antiquity, using fragments of divine authority left behind after the collapse of ancient gods. As far as Su Qing knows, only the Eastern King Sect of the Kunlun Realm has the ability to create such puppets.

Using someone else's puppet in the arena should be considered cheating.

However, Su Qing did not take it to heart. He understood that there was a great deal of room for maneuver here. Even if Qian Xuzi was only responsible for processing a certain part of this puppet, it could still be considered a puppet he had created. In addition, the various forces in the Grand Conference Committee had the advantage. If he argued with them about the rules, he would only suffer losses.

But as he said, although this puppet is strong, it is difficult to unleash its full power in the hands of a useless old man.

As the storage bag was opened, puppets flew out.

A giant silver tiger with flowing light and lightning, a fourth-order creation-type ancient god-type puppet—the Flowing Silver God.

There is a two-headed dragon beast of the Illusionary Cloud Dream, and a fourth-tier exorcising ancient god-type puppet—the Mirage Dragon God.

······
There are valiant divine generals wielding axes and swords, and fourth-tier creation-type ancient god-type puppets—Giant God Soldiers!

As soon as these puppets were released, even though Su Qing did not specify the type of puppets, all the cultivators in the heavens knew from the divine aura emanating from these puppets that they were all ancient god-type puppets!
Su Qing's purpose in bringing out these puppets to fight was obvious. Just as the Heavens wanted to defeat his strong suit, he also wanted to use the same type of puppets to defeat the Heavens' proud puppets and solidify his title as the leader of all world puppets!
What surprised the cultivators of the heavens was:

"What's going on? Ancient God Runes are a closely guarded secret of the Eastern King Sect. Where did he learn them from?!"

"There is a traitor among us!"

"Where are the people from the Eastern King Sect? Get out here right now! Good grief, you were the loudest shouters before the fight even started, but now that the fight's begun, we realize you all surrendered long ago!"

"Please calm down, everyone! My Eastern King Sect did exchange rune inheritances with someone a few years ago, but it was with that Celestial Master Tong. Moreover, what we gave out were only first-tier ancient god runes. Su Qing and these puppets all use fifth-tier ancient god runes. They have absolutely nothing to do with our Eastern King Sect. Please don't accidentally hurt our allies!"

"That's strange. Since your Eastern King Sect's high-level ancient god runes have not been leaked out, and even if Su Qing obtained high-level ancient god runes, it wouldn't be possible for him to comprehend them to the fifth level in just a few decades. So how did he create this puppet?"

"What's there to think about? It must have been refined by the Eastern King Sect. This Eastern King Sect traitor is definitely a traitor!"

"You Dongwangzong, you've been eating from one family and then another, and now you're playing the fence-sitting game with us!"

No one in the heavens and the forces could believe that Su Qing could create a fourth-order ancient god-type puppet without the cooperation of the Eastern King Sect. At this moment, they all turned their attention to the Eastern King Sect.

The True Lord sent by the Eastern King Sect was sweating profusely. He couldn't understand how his Eastern King Sect, as the first sect to advocate suppressing the local forces of Tianyuan and establishing the rule of the Great Heaven, had become the surrender faction.

I don't understand where Su Qing got these ancient god-type puppets from.
It couldn't have been made by myself!

Although the Ancient God Rune is not among the top-grade runes like the Five Elements or Yin Yang, it is still a first-grade rune and the pride of their Eastern King Sect. It is extremely difficult to cultivate. After many years of accumulation, only one or two people in their Eastern King Sect have comprehended this rune to the sixth level, and only a dozen or so people can master it to the fifth level. Even if Su Qing used tricks to steal the rune, he would not be able to achieve such mastery in a short period of time.

If he didn't refine it himself, then wasn't it refined with the help of the Eastern King Sect?

Could it be that the sect is actually hedging its bets, not wanting to offend Su Qing, the Heavenly Emperor's Walker and a potential candidate to wield the Azure Dragon Dao Pattern?
For a moment, even the True Monarch of the Eastern King Sect was somewhat dazed. But soon, amidst the angry curses of others, he realized that no matter how Su Qing created these ancient god-type puppets, he could not admit that they were related to the Eastern King Sect!

"This is a setup, deliberately orchestrated by Su Qing. I swear, these puppets are definitely not ancient god-type puppets. They only possess some divine aura to mislead us and cause us to suspect each other. Don't be fooled by them. Watch how our Dongwang Sect's genuine ancient god-type puppets, the Ancient God Armor Puppet, will crush these imposters!"

Gu Tiansi loudly reassured the emotions of all the cultivators, thinking to himself that the ancient divine armor puppet that his Eastern King Sect had lent to Qian Xuzi to help him make a good start was no ordinary puppet. It was a fifth-order high-grade puppet made by using fragments of the God of Strength. It should be no problem to deal with Su Qing's seven or eight fourth-order puppets, right?

Upon hearing this, although the cultivators of the heavens still harbored doubts about the Eastern King Sect, they stopped talking and prepared to wait until the puppets on the arena had determined their victor before commenting further.

The fight had already broken out on the stage.

Su Qing didn't stand on ceremony with Qian Xuzi. The puppets, including Liu Yin, which had been upgraded and modified by him and infused with corresponding divine runes, were released and immediately surrounded him from all directions, both above and below.

Although Qian Xuzi was startled, he remained calm. Not being skilled in combat, he had already consciously handed over control of his body to the puppet itself. At this moment, he still had time to observe and analyze the puppet that Su Qing had taken out.

Just as Su Qing would study his opponents' intelligence before a battle, the various forces in the heavens also conducted a lot of research on him.

Su Qing possesses unparalleled talent in the art of puppetry. He not only masters various runes but can also elevate them to higher levels in a short time. Based on these runes, he creates numerous new types of puppets. What's most outrageous is that, compared to the pitiful success rate of other puppeteers in creating new puppets, once he creates a certain type of puppet, he continues to produce such puppets with an extremely abnormal and steadily increasing success rate. This is why he can mass-produce cheap puppets and is not afraid of competition from puppet merchants across the heavens.

In terms of puppet types, Su Qing is skilled in several types of puppets, including creation-type, spirit explosion-type, cavalry-type, and treasure ship-type.

Among them, the creation-type puppets are the most eye-catching, because mastering such puppets means that the creation runes and even creation Dao patterns that have been eliminated for countless years will see the light of day again. The Snail Emperor Palace sect even surrendered to the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom because of this, which shows the significance of their creation of such puppets.

Spirit Explosion type puppets are the most coveted. This rune is powerful and has great firepower. It is a unique rune created by Su Qing. Everyone wants to own it, but no one can copy it.

As for other types of puppets such as cavalry generals and divine beasts, the cultivators of all realms did not care much about them. These were already widely known puppets throughout the heavens, and all major sects had puppeteers who could refine them.

As for the individual puppets, let's set aside the economically viable puppets that Su Qing has crafted and sold to generate revenue. We'll only talk about those that can play a role on the arena, especially the two creation-type puppets, Xiong Er and Hu Dan, which are the most feared.

Fortunately, Su Qing was not greedy enough and sent these two puppets out to compete for points independently. Not only these two puppets, but also Fengxian, the puppet he first showed at this conference, was also extremely capable. He also sent it out to compete for points. These puppets could not help him in this battle. He could only rely on some miscellaneous puppets.

Even though most of his main puppets were not by his side, Qian Xuzi did not underestimate Su Qing.

This is because his divine sense is inexplicably powerful. According to the analysis of his past battles by cultivators from all heavens, it is concluded that the strength of his divine sense is comparable to that of a Nascent Soul True Monarch. In addition, the puppets he controls are all made by himself, and most of them are Creation-type puppets with independent combat capabilities. The quantity and quality of the puppets he can control are completely beyond common sense. He has controlled an army of millions of puppets more than once. Even the miscellaneous soldiers are not to be ignored when there are a large number of them!
This was the intelligence that Qian Xuzi obtained about Su Qing before the competition. The intelligence came from several battles Su Qing fought before establishing the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom. In their view, this was enough. The Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom had only been established for a hundred years. In these hundred years, Su Qing had sheathed his sword. Although he might have developed new types of puppets, a hundred years is just a blink of an eye. They didn't believe that he could have hidden much.

Therefore, Qian Xuzi's preparations for this competition did not take into account, or he underestimated, Su Qingzang's puppet.

For example, the ancient god-type puppets that Su Qing has just pulled out were ones he had never seen in the pre-match intelligence.

That looks pretty impressive.

But it's only at the fourth tier; how powerful can it really be? (End of Chapter)
