Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Seeking immortality and enlightenment is a matter of fierce competition, requiring one to stand out from the crowd to achieve anything.

Therefore, whether they are cultivators from all heavens who have received ancient inheritances and consider themselves extraordinary, or local cultivators who firmly adhere to the Tianyuan homeland and are resolute and decisive.

Even at the beginning, due to the reputation of the initiator Su Qing and the terrifying origins of the Abyss Secret Realm, some people hesitated and dared not easily take risks and place heavy bets.

But then Su Qingyan said there was a limit to the number of spots available, and it was first-come, first-served.

The number of people flocking to Penglai from all over the heavens and myriad realms is increasing daily.

Even the locals of Penglai, such as Liu Gandang, Zhao Zhengquan, and He Lizhi, along with several family representatives, all poured their years of accumulated resources into the Abyss Secret Realm.

"Fellow Daoist Su, let's not beat around the bush. You know how we've treated you these past few days. We've given you everything you were entitled to—benefits, rights, and even Fellow Daoist Zhao's precious daughter. We've treated you with sincerity, and we hope you'll treat us the same way! As for the Abyss Secret Realm, how much do you know about it, Fellow Daoist Su? Please tell us again. I, Liu Gandang, swear that once I hear it, I will never let a single word escape my lips!"

Because of the Yunlong incident, Liu Gandang, who had already lost a significant portion of the Liu family's accumulated wealth over the years, was eager to recover his losses in the Abyss Secret Realm. However, he was also afraid that the risks there were too great and that he would lose another sum of money. So, he decided to try and find out what Su Qing was thinking.

In his mind, and in the minds of those who, like him, had been trying to get information from Su Qing these past few days.

As the initiator of this operation, Su Qing, with the help of the Azure Dragon Dao Pattern, the Time Dao Pattern, and Tong Chang to calculate the secrets of heaven, must know far more about the situation within the Abyss Secret Realm than they do.

Moreover, the information he releases is certainly incomplete and untrue. Given his nature, if he didn't hide things to trick others and gain even greater benefits for himself, he wouldn't be Su Qing!

Su Qing can only say that everyone knows him too well!
He was hiding something.

But this time, he really didn't have any ulterior motives.

Because that thing was too big, too powerful, too fierce, and too dangerous, and it was also a time bomb, if it was not defused now, it might cause the entire Tianyuan Realm and all the myriad realms to collapse and shatter in the future. Therefore, he had no choice but to keep this matter a secret and first gather people from all sides. Only after everyone went to the Abyss Secret Realm could he tell them the truth, so as not to tell them in advance. These people only thought about letting others defuse the bomb while they stayed at home waiting for news.

His current response to Liu Gandang is the same as his response to everyone else:

"As for how much I know and how much I say about this trip to the Abyss Secret Realm, it has nothing to do with you fellow Daoists. I can only say that I have said what I should say. As for what I shouldn't say, you can try to understand, investigate, and deduce it yourselves. Everyone should rely on their own abilities. After all, I have never been to the Abyss Secret Realm myself."

As for the risks involved, that's for you fellow Daoists to weigh yourselves. I'm only responsible for leading you in; I can't guarantee you won't suffer any losses or necessarily gain anything. It's up to you to decide your own fortune and fate! If Fellow Daoists Liu, He, and the others are truly wary of the dangers of this secret realm, you are free to choose not to go. From beginning to end, have I, Su Qing, ever forced you to go?"

He sent Liu Gandang and the others away.

There were still groups of people waiting to visit outside the residence.

Su Qing simply told Li Hailang, who was also working as a doorman with double red flower sticks, to close the door to guests.

Just as he said, these cultivators who wanted to probe his words and spy on him were only vaguely sensing that something was wrong and feeling uneasy, so they wanted to seek psychological comfort from him.

They've all come. Unless it's a life-or-death situation, they would never give up this incredible opportunity, this chance to seize the Four Imperial Dao Patterns and the power of the ancient underworld.

If one harbors greed, then one will suffer losses, and one cannot blame others for that.

He only cared about forming a team and driving, without caring about the safety or misfortune of these people once they reached the Abyss Realm.

Of course, if the situation were as he and Master Tong had deduced...

Even after arriving at that abyss, he could not remain unaffected and had to gather the strength of cultivators from all sides in order to achieve his expected goal.

Objective 1: Reclaim the Yama Palace, unseal the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc that has been sealed for countless years, and attempt to wield it, or find any person of good character and sound mind who is destined to wield the reincarnation runes, so that these runes do not fall into the hands of evil demons and monsters.

Objective Two: To eradicate all evil spirits and malevolent forces within this secret realm, with the most important task being to eliminate the potential world-destroying demon and Black Wukong, who has the potential to transform into a Heavenly Demon General!
This Black Monkey King was formed from the demonic ape of ancient times before he attained enlightenment, after shedding his demonic thoughts. In ancient times, he was in the underworld and was enlightened and guided by the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha through Buddhist teachings.

Because the cataclysmic upheaval happened too quickly, all efforts were in vain. After countless years of gestation, this demonic thought may have become completely corrupted, and may now possess the combat strength of a sixth-level Void Refinement cultivator.

Currently, within the Tianyuan Realm, apart from the Azure Dragon King, no one can subdue him. However, the Azure Dragon King has important matters to attend to and is unable to participate in this secret realm operation!

Therefore, Black Wukong is the reason why he, Tong Laodao, and many other cultivators who have studied divination and are favored by heaven and earth and have received warnings feel uneasy.

If a group of fifth-tier True Monarchs gather together, can they overwhelm a sixth-tier Great Demon by sheer numbers?
Su Qing could only say that from ancient times to the present day, no one has ever accomplished this.

After all, a being who has reached the Refinement of Emptiness can transform reality into illusion. As long as the Dao Fruit remains, even if you kill it a thousand times, you will only kill its illusory body that walks in the world. The Dao Fruit of every being who has reached the Refinement of Emptiness manifests and projects in all the heavens and myriad worlds. Only when a cultivator of the same level manifests countless illusory bodies and annihilates all these Dao Fruit projections at once can the being be completely suppressed and killed.

This is clearly not something a Nascent Soul True Monarch could do.

But for Su Qing, it wasn't that they had absolutely no chance this time.

It should be noted that within the Tianyuan Realm, there is currently only one Void Refinement Realm being, the Azure Dragon King, but in the myriad realms, there is more than one Void Refinement Realm being.

If that Black Wukong truly appeared out of nowhere, revealing his Dao fruit in the myriad realms for a fleeting moment.

The Void Refinement experts from the three major sects of the Dao lineage, whom he had contacted long ago, would surely annihilate all his Dao Fruit projections throughout the heavens.

They only need to deal with the Dao Fruit projection manifested in the Abyss Secret Realm, that is, within the Tianyuan Realm.

From a boss with countless lives and endless resurrections, he becomes a boss with only one life.

The difficulty of this boss battle has been reduced, so you can clear it with one click?
totally not!

Based on the information he had gathered over the past few days regarding the ancient, chaotic demonic ape, combined with the various legends about the Great Sage he had heard in his previous life.

It is known that the Great Sage's true form possesses strength comparable to that of the Heavenly Demon Generals. He was a top-1.5 power level being, second only to the Three Pure Ones, the Snail Emperor, the Heavenly Emperor, the Buddha, and other Dao Ancestors when all the ancient saints stood side by side. He overwhelmed countless other gods, Buddhas, demons, and monsters.

The Black Wukong, formed from the demonic thoughts of the Great Sage, was already familiar with all the supernatural powers the Great Sage possessed in ancient times. However, due to the lack of a physical body and the limitation of his magical power, the power he could unleash was only one-thousandth or one-ten-thousandth of that of the Great Sage himself.

This is terrifying. In addition, over the years, no one knows whether he has transformed into a demon in the Abyss Secret Realm. He was already a great demon. If he were to transform into a demon and his abilities were to improve, he would be among the most powerful fighters in the sixth-order Void Refinement Realm. Even this one life could send countless others to their deaths.

If this is not dealt with now, according to the future fragments he saw with the Dao of Time, this Black Wukong will break through the Abyss Secret Realm more than a hundred years later, take control of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc, comprehend part of the Dao of Reincarnation, break through the Abyss Secret Realm, and bring the Yama Palace into the world, opening up a demonic domain in the Tianyuan Realm, raising many demons and monsters, and wanting to create a Black Myth Era.

By then, even the most powerful beings in the Heavenly Realm who had mastered the Void Refinement Technique were unable to enter the Tianyuan Realm to offer assistance. Faced with Black Wukong, who wielded the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc and possessed the power of the Reincarnation Dao Pattern, the entire Tianyuan Realm, including the Azure Dragon King, who was a heroic spirit and thus countered by the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc and the Reincarnation Dao Pattern, could hardly defeat Black Wukong.

Thus, reincarnation is under its control, preventing it from transforming into a demon. Its influence on all realms and all living beings is greater than that of any other demon general.

This is why Su Qing realized that there might be a major problem within the Abyss Secret Realm that Hei Wukong's side couldn't handle, and why he wanted to drag countless cultivators to the Abyss to take a risk and gamble.

If we go now to compete with this Black Wukong for the Yama Palace, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc, and the Reincarnation Dao Patterns, there's still a slim chance. But if we don't go now, and he masters all these essences of the underworld and their powerful techniques, that monkey's blow will surely smash the heads of all the cultivators in the Tianyuan Realm. By then, it will be too late for regrets.

As for objective three...

That is to guard against the evil forces on Mount Wufo and not give these evil forces the opportunity to enter the abyss and cause trouble.

In the glimpse of the future that Su Qing glimpsed.

A demon Buddha led the demons through a passage left by ancient demons, and they entered the abyss secret realm one after the other.

They invoked the various methods left behind by the ancient demons in the abyss, causing them immense trouble.

This also gave rise to Black Wukong, who was completely corrupted by demons, making him too powerful to control. He annihilated all the cultivators who fell into the Abyss Secret Realm, and became the Lord of Reincarnation. Together with the Demon Buddha, he turned the entire Tianyuan Realm into a demon domain, repeating the events of the ancient calamity.

This glimpse into the future is chilling.

However, Su Qing also knew that he only possessed a very small portion of the time Dao patterns, and his mastery of these patterns was far inferior to that of the Demon Buddha. He was unsure whether the part of the future he saw was influenced by the Demon Buddha, or whether the Demon Buddha deliberately showed it to him.

But regardless of whether the Demon Buddha used any means or what his plans were, it doesn't matter.

Since this possible future exists, he has no choice but to be wary of the Demon Buddha.

That's why he didn't let the Azure Dragon King go to the Abyss Secret Realm with him.

Instead, they were stationed outside to guard against the evil spirits in Wufo Mountain.

Only this half-crippled seventh-level Void Refinement cultivator could deal with the Demon Buddha who already possessed Void Refinement techniques.

Three goals.

The first goal is the most important.

Once the goal is achieved, even if Black Wukong were to suddenly appear, as long as he doesn't master the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc and the Reincarnation Dao Pattern, he would just be a sixth-order dead monkey. Dealing with him would be somewhat troublesome, but if all the cultivators in the myriad realms put their minds to it and use the various methods left behind by the ancestors of the major sects, it wouldn't be too difficult to deal with him.

Even if they can't kill it immediately, they can at least hold it off, and time is on their side.

Putting aside others, even Su Qing himself, if given another thousand years or so, he might be able to advance to the sixth level of Void Refinement and create a sixth-level puppet. With his own strength, he might be able to take down this monkey head by himself.

"I just hope this trip will be a success!"

Su Qing sighed deeply.

He couldn't understand why what he had previously considered a small risky treasure hunt could lead to a fortune.

Why has it gradually evolved into this terrible situation, where every little thing causes chaos in the heavens and devastation to all living beings?

Perhaps it is destiny itself.

It was driving him, as the initiator and leader of this operation.

Let him shoulder this responsibility that concerns the well-being of the people!

damn it!
In his past life, he was just an unscrupulous shopkeeper who loved watching young men and women shyly buy toys. In this life, he only wants to happily tell stories with his wife and concubines.

Why should he be made to shoulder the life and death of billions of people and the separation and collapse of countless realms?
Is he cut out for this?

He's very selfish!
Damn you, God, are you forcing me to sacrifice myself for righteousness?
I refuse!
Su Qing cursed God countless times in her heart.

Despite the fact that this place has treated me quite well over the years.

But if the opportunities and good fortune given to him in the past were all meant to be repaid in full one day, even at the cost of his life, then...

He'll still turn on his mother and curse her if he wants to.

Meanwhile, back in the Su residence, he was filled with anxiety and worry, pondering every aspect of this operation, wondering where he might have overlooked something or where there might be any oversights.

The Great Sage Who Overturns the Sea and his more than one million demonic creatures from the Western Sea, who had never appeared in his or Tong Laodao's deductions.

Today, they are all standing in front of a spatial rift.

Starting with the Great Sage Overturning the Sea, one evil demon after another silently entered the rift, a day earlier than Su Qing and the others, and entered the abyss secret realm.

This scene was something that Su Qing and Tong Chang had not anticipated, and even the Thousand Islands Immortal Kingdom and Penglai Immortal Kingdom, which had been on guard against the movements of these evil demons, had not noticed their unusual activities.

These monstrous creatures seem to belong neither to the present world, nor to the past, nor to the future; their existence has been consciously forgotten by everyone.

But this is precisely the method of the Demon Buddha who is silently laughing in Wufo Mountain at this very moment.

And just as Su Qing had feared.

The future that Su Qing saw was only what the Demon Buddha wanted him to see.

This is a calculated, overt strategy.

If Su Qing doesn't take countermeasures, the Demon Buddha will indeed lead the demons into the Abyss Secret Realm, helping Black Wukong become the Lord of Reincarnation and triggering the Demon Tribulation ahead of schedule.

If Su Qing takes action against this.

After most of the power of the Tianyuan Realm fell into the Abyss Secret Realm.

He sent the Azure Dragon King, who had no original physical body and only a remnant soul in the world, to him.

For him, this was a great gift delivered to his door! (End of Chapter)
