Immortality begins with meditation puppets

"May your journey be successful, may you purge all evil spirits and wicked creatures, and may the cycle of reincarnation in the underworld be reopened for this world!"

"Senior Brother, be more alert inside, don't embarrass our Peach Blossom Sect!"

"Honey, don't work too hard. I'll stay home and sell Ling Shui tofu, waiting for you to come back!"

"Your Majesty, please take good care of yourself! We, your sons and grandsons, are all waiting for you to come back and lead us to kill those stinking monkeys and reclaim our Niuniu Mountain!"

······
Despite a thousand concerns and ten thousand reluctances,

As the wings of the giant Kun from the North Sea slowly unfolded, all the cultivators who landed inside could only wave goodbye to their relatives and friends who remained in Tianyuan.

Their destination was both the Abyss and the Ancient Underworld. Everyone knew how dangerous it was, and no one knew whether they could return to the mortal world and see their loved ones again. At this moment, everyone was heavy-hearted.

When the giant Kun of the North Sea finally crossed the dense, deathly cloud barrier, it would take several more days to reach the abyss.

Inside the giant kun in the North Sea.

"Five champions, six six six, we're good buddies!"

"After you finish this cup, there's another one. After you finish this cup, drink another one."

"Bring two tiger-clan beauties to serve your old man sheep well, and you'll get a generous tip!"

"Come on, place your bets now! The battle between the Tiger King and the Lion King is about to begin. The Tiger King is 1 to 0.8, and the Lion King is 1.2 to 1. You need to use real spirit stones to place your bets. We also accept spirit tickets from Xiong Er's bank. As for Penglai spirit tickets? We don't accept those for now."

The scene was lively and bustling. The building had eighteen floors, each with its own activities and recreational facilities, which made the cultivators forget all the heaviness they felt before setting off.

Inside the VIP building on the eighteenth floor.

Seeing that everyone was having a good time, Su Qing was also happy.

"If the opportunity arises, we could refine a few more giant Kun from the North Sea and release them into the void to serve as luxurious starships. That would certainly be profitable!"

"What time is it? You're still thinking about making money? Grandpa Su, don't you even think about how to deal with that Black Wukong?"

At the conference table, Peach Blossom True Lord, who had been embracing the beautiful puppet and drinking fine wine, thinking that this mission was a truly wonderful task, was now sweating profusely, his soul was trembling, and he was in a very bad state.

Like him were more than a hundred True Lords attending the meeting at the large round conference table.

Because Su Qing just informed them.

What might await them in the abyss?

"Black Wukong? Who cares if he's black or white? Isn't he the number one ancient demon, a ruthless character who fought his way up to the heavens and became known as the Great Sage? How could we possibly handle him?"

"It's still no match for the true Great Sage. It only has a wisp of demonic thought and no Dao Fruit. In addition, it was suppressed for countless years in ancient times, so its strength was weakened to the extreme. Even though it has recovered some strength over the years, it is at most at the sixth level of the Void Refinement stage. It is far from the great power of the seventh level peak of the true Great Sage. Of course, it is enough to deal with us even at the sixth level of the Void Refinement stage!"

"I'm done playing, I want to go home! Before I came here, no one told me that there was such a formidable character as Black Wukong in this Abyss Secret Realm. I thought I could at most fight the Prison Guardian Elephant, the Three-Headed Hound of Netherfire, and the Nether Lynx. Now you're telling me that I have to fight Black Wukong, Black Yama, and Black Demon Lord—these are beings that are terrifying just to think about. How can we possibly handle them? I might as well go home now!"

"I can't do it, I'm afraid of dying. I got this True Lord title by taking drugs and pills, and this business trip was also obtained through back channels. I'm a complete waste. Can you let me go back? I'll pay you!"

"Don't panic yet. Since Lord Su knew about this beforehand and still dared to bring us in, he must have a plan in mind and his own means to deal with powerful enemies like Black Wukong. That Monkey King couldn't escape the Five Finger Mountain in ancient times, and now he can't escape Lord Su's palm either!"

"What! Even you, Su Zhenjun, are having second thoughts? You haven't come up with a good plan yet? 'Things will work themselves out. Whether you can win or not, try throwing a punch first'? Is that even human language? Alright, now everyone can panic!"

Panic ensued; everyone panicked. A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. Even the most monstrous ancient sage, though merely a wisp of demonic thought, was feared like a tiger by these true lords of the present world, who dared not confront him.

Everyone is afraid, and Black Wukong alone is enough to make people feel troubled. According to Su Qing, there are also all kinds of abyssal demons in the Abyss Secret Realm, whose strength is not much less than that of Black Wukong, or even Black Yama and Black Demon Lord with sixth-order abilities.

Given the strength and skill of the opposing team, it's clear that their group has no chance of getting through.

Therefore, right now, these True Lords are crying, shouting, begging, and yelling, all urging Su Qing to turn around quickly so they can disembark and return.

But Kunpeng is on the road, and people are on the boat. Once on this boat, Su Qing will not let anyone off the boat until the matter is settled, and there is no way he will turn back.

"Everyone, we are all rulers of our own kingdoms or great cultivators of the highest sects. We are fortunate to be blessed by Heaven and Earth and enjoy countless resources, which is why we have the cultivation level we have today and can remain young for ten thousand years and immortal for a hundred thousand years."

To speak of repaying heaven and earth, burning oneself to illuminate all living beings, is something I, a humble person, cannot utter, and no one would believe.

But what I want to say is that this journey to the Abyss Secret Realm is the key to the outcome of the battle between the beings of this calamity and the demons.

If we are now cowardly and hesitant, hoping to wait for the sixth and seventh level powerhouses from all the heavens to descend into the Tianyuan Realm and leave this trouble to them, I advise everyone not to have such thoughts.

Because if we hadn't come to this abyss secret realm this time, and had Black Wukong mastered the reincarnation Dao patterns, taken control of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc, opened the Underworld again, and taken control of the cycle of life and death.

At that time, all the wronged souls and dead spirits in the Tianyuan Realm and all the myriad realms will be in his hands. He can refine as many evil spirits as he wants, and the living and dead souls will no longer be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation. In less than ten thousand years, only a hundred or a thousand years, my Tianyuan Realm will be completely transformed into the evil realm and the demon realm.

Moreover, its authority within the Tianyuan Realm will far exceed that of me, the Heavenly Emperor. At that time, it will be able to open and close the Heavenly Gate at will.

The myriad realms may never have another chance to enter the Tianyuan Realm. The great powers of the myriad realms can only watch helplessly as the demons run rampant in the Tianyuan Realm, enjoying the creation of Tianyuan, producing one demon general after another, and then slaughtering the myriad realms, turning the entire universe and the void into a realm of evil.

This is not an exaggeration. Before you came here, you must have been reminded by your sect elders or others that although coming to this abyss secret realm is a matter of life and death, since you have come, you must go all out and put life and death aside.

It's not about making you desperately try to gain benefits, but about making you desperately try to protect the benefits you've gained in the past!
Even if we have a lifespan of ten thousand or a hundred thousand years, what use would it be if the Heavenly Origin were to collapse and all realms were to be annihilated?
"When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. This time, not for the sake of all living beings or the heavens and earth, but even for our own sake, we should all exert our utmost to prevent the demons from staging another ancient calamity. For this time, there will be no Dao Ancestors to preserve the flame of life for all living beings and the myriad worlds!"

Su Qing spoke passionately and earnestly, expressing his thoughts to the assembled True Lords.

After hearing what he said, all the True Lords fell silent.

Tell the truth.

If Su Qing were to talk to them about perspective and morality, they absolutely could not believe him, because he himself was not a person of perspective or morality.

But if Su Qing says that this trip was to save her own life, that it was a matter of putting herself in a life-or-death situation, then...

They couldn't help but believe it.

Because these fifth-tier True Monarchs are not fools.

Only after hearing about the powerful enemies like Hei Wukong did he lose his composure and think of turning back and disembarking, leaving this difficult matter to the sixth or seventh-level powerhouses of Tianyuan in the future. Everyone could just pretend nothing happened and continue to deceive and scheme against each other in the Tianyuan Realm, or seek pleasure and live a carefree life.

But after calming down, they all realized...

This abyss is of great importance, concerning the ancient underworld. It contains many essential elements for rebuilding the underworld, such as the Yama Palace, the Bridge of Helplessness, the Gate of Life and Death, the Nine Netherworld Land, and the Earth's membrane. Most importantly, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc and the Dao Patterns of Reincarnation are also located here.

If they don't fight for or snatch these things, and let that Black Wukong, or any evil demon or monster, get them...

The consequences would indeed be unimaginable. In this demonic calamity, their fate, along with that of all living beings in the myriad realms, might be even more tragic than during the ancient calamity.

Therefore, it was just as Su Qing said.

He knew the danger and he was afraid, but he was helpless. This matter was right in front of them, and if they didn't step up, no one else would.

If you take the job, you might still have a chance; if you don't, you're sure to suffer!
"Alright, I, Liu Gandang, will make a statement here first: the Liu family of Penglai is sworn enemies with evil spirits, and this time we will lead the entire Liu family to go all out!"

Knowing that there was no way to avoid it and no way to get off the ship and go home, Liu Gandang was the first to step forward.

They also hoped to use this opportunity to mitigate the impact of their previous collusion with Yunlong and to prove to all the worlds that their Liu family had not betrayed the Tianyuan Realm or any of the myriad races and beings.

Following him, three True Lords from the Yuanshi Sect, Lingbao Sect, and Taishang Sect—Guanxian True Lord, Hude True Lord, and Gule True Lord—also responded, stating that the three sects had prepared corresponding methods specifically targeting the sixth-level Void Refinement stage, urging everyone not to panic too much, as this battle was still far from over!

This lineage reassured everyone.

What happens next is simple.

Everyone quickly moved past the questions of whether to fight, whether to advance, whether to flee, and whether to run away.

The focus shifts to how to fight, how to win, and how to secure a victory.

"My Winged Tiger Clan possesses a White Tiger True Spirit Map. When we arrived, our Tiger Ancestor entrusted it to me. On the battlefield, if it is refined with blood energy, a sixth- or even seventh-order White Tiger True Spirit will emerge from within this map. Of course, a seventh-order White Tiger True Spirit can only be activated by blood energy of the intensity of the ancient war between witches and demons, or the war between gods and demons. I can only guarantee that if we or the enemy suffer enough casualties during this great battle, we might be able to barely summon a sixth-order slaying White Tiger to help us fight for a while."

"My Azure Lion Clan also has a fine treasure, a piece of Azure Lion horn left behind by our Azure Lion Ancestor. With this horn, we can summon a wisp of our ancestor Azure Lion's projection to aid us in battle. I dare not say how powerful it is, but it is at least stronger than the White Tiger True Spirit!"

“My Phoenix Clan also possesses a wisp of fire feather, which can transform into an immortal fire phoenix, roughly equivalent to a sixth-tier strength? I have never used it, so I cannot guarantee its effectiveness.”

"If we, the sorcerers, unite our thoughts, we might be able to summon the remnant spirit of the Great Sorcerer Ancestral Sorcerer for assistance. Of course, if the Holy Lord Su Qing, in the body of a Great Sorcerer, leads us in summoning our ancestors, the identity and strength of this remnant spirit will be even greater. In this Abyss Secret Realm, it is not impossible to summon the Ancestral Sorcerer Houtu. After all, before she became the Ancestral Sorcerer Houtu, she was always the Ancestral Sorcerer of our sorcerer clan! On her territory, she should take care of us sorcerers!"

“My Peach Blossom Sect has a peach tree, which was transformed from a peach blossom immortal. I have brought a section of the tree trunk with me, which can be used as the core of a sixth-order array!”

"Peach Blossom Formation? Then my spirit clan can use this to set up a Hundred Flowers Formation. I dare not say that it can deal with a sixth-level Void Refinement cultivator, but it can certainly bless you fellow cultivators with various status effects and resist the erosion of the abyss!"

"Our Luo Hou Sect has brought the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. Within this banner reside at least several thousand Golden Core demons, several thousand Nascent Soul demons, and three to five hundred True Monarch demons. If we join forces with fellow Daoists from the Desire Demon Sect to activate this banner and release the demons, we should be able to teach the Abyss demons a lesson!"

"With my Gao Erqiang in my Xingsha Divine Kingdom, I can defeat any being below the sixth rank!"

"In my Thousand Islands Immortal Kingdom, there is my elder brother, Jianglong, who carries the Styx Robe and can summon the Ancestor to possess him at any time!"

······
You wouldn't know unless you were told.

It turns out everyone had prepared some formidable methods.

A small portion of them were their own sect elders who had foreseen the dangers of the trip and provided them with valuable sect items for self-defense.

Most people are just being prepared, hoping to avoid a bloody battle when it comes time to share the spoils.

Just as the Winged Tiger Clan brought the White Tiger True Form Diagram, the Green Lion Clan, upon learning the news, insisted on bringing the Green Lion Horn.

Because they are in the Abyss Secret Realm, they are not under the control of the Anti-Demon Alliance, nor do they need to care about the unity of the demon race. They settle scores and grievances, and everyone is wary of their mortal enemies and wants to find an opportunity to kill them.

Su Qing even felt that the Sky-Splitting Axe brought by the Eastern King Sect and the Seven-Star Nails brought by Liu Gandang were purely prepared to deal with him.

These are the comrades he knows well.

None of them are very good.

But as a teammate, they are exceptionally reassuring.

At least, after hearing about all the good things everyone has prepared.

What Su Qing originally thought was an impossible task.

It now seems that we have a 30-40% chance of winning.

I knew that God wouldn't drive me to my death. Since He had hinted that I was here, there must be a glimmer of hope.

"Lord Su, you are so capable, tell me quickly, what other trump cards have you prepared?"

"Yes, yes, Su Zhenjun, quickly show us your storage bag and let us see what good things you've hidden!"

"Ah, Xing Tian's Blood Axe? That's considered a trump card? No, why is there a mummified corpse here? Sigh, why are you bald monks cursing me? Not a mummified corpse? It's Arhat skeleton? Which Arhat? The Dragon-Subduing Arhat? Isn't that the same name as that fellow Daoist from the Thousand Islands Immortal Kingdom? What could True Lord Su do with these skeletons? Not True Lord Su? Or his puppet Xiong Er? Isn't Xiong Er a money lender?" (End of Chapter)
