Immortality begins with meditation puppets

The spiritual energy of the Tianyuan Realm is recovering, and opportunities are emerging frequently. When it comes to good fortune, few can rival the two, including the Tianyuan Realm and all the other realms.

However, the revival of spiritual energy was also accompanied by rampant evil spirits and chaos in the world. All beings in the myriad realms suffered greatly from the evil spirits' invasions, with the two strongest among them.

Having arrived at this abyss secret realm, not to mention what happened before, the Western Sea Demon Overturning the Sea Great Sage, who made him the only one standing against the two strongest, is incredibly powerful.

The two strong fought him, from the sky to the ground, from the ground to the sea of ​​blood. They used the laws of heaven and earth, and the seventy-two transformations. The two strong knew many skills, but the opponent also knew them, and used them better and stronger than him.

His cultivation was suppressed, and his supernatural powers were not as advanced. His divine body was shattered several times by his attacks, and his spiritual senses almost collapsed. These sufferings need not be described in detail.

In the end, the invincible Erqiang survived!
"What a thrilling battle!" Erqiang said to Su Qing and the others, still shaken.

"I knew I hadn't misjudged you, Second Brother. Even that Great Sage Who Overturns the Seas is nothing but a greenhorn under your command. He's no match for you at all!"

Su Qing also clapped her hands in praise, overjoyed.

Yi Xi and Er Qiang were indeed able to defeat the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea, eliminating a scourge for everyone. Their true form also benefited from this battle, not only surviving but also gaining even greater strength. Now, they possess the might of a sixth-tier Heavenly Origin War God, with their strength and achievements surpassing those of the past.

Erxi and Erqiang returned to the team early, adding another player to the team who dares to fight and withstand pressure. With Erqiang by his side, he can indeed share a lot of the pressure.

The other True Lords, like him, also praised Erqiang highly.

"I knew Takatenjin would succeed!"

"He won't die! How could the High God possibly die? It must be the evil demon from the Western Sea who is going to die!"

"Who can stand tall and stand against me? Only the two strongest gods!"

After being praised by the True Lords for a while, Erqiang suddenly said:

"Who said the demon from the Western Sea is dead?"

"What did you say? You mean the Western Sea Demon isn't dead? Didn't I tell you to keep it occupied?" Su Qing asked in a deep voice, startled by his words.

"It's not dead. I never said it was dead. But you don't need to worry that the Western Sea Demon will cause you any trouble. I personally sent it out of the Abyss Secret Realm. You can consider it as if I chased it away!"

Erqiang shamelessly said that while he was fiercely fighting with the Western Sea Demon, and he was being beaten so badly by the Western Sea Demon that he had no power to fight back, but the Western Sea Demon could not kill him for a while, he suddenly saw a black shadow of a demonic ape streak across the sky and land on the Western Sea Demon.

Then one could see that the Great Sage Who Overturned the Seas, whose demonic power was already at its peak and whose evil aura was overwhelming, had blood-red eyes that shone with golden light, and whose demonic power was even greater than before.

Erqiang thought he was going to be in trouble, but to his surprise, the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea only roared a few times in pain before piercing the sky with his staff and escaping from this abyss secret realm!
"It's the Black Soul; it has accepted Black Wukong's Black Soul!"

"We were all wrong. This Great Sage of the Overturning Sea came to this Abyss Secret Realm only to receive the demonic thoughts and black soul of Black Wukong. As for the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc, the Reincarnation Dao Pattern, and the authority of the Underworld, he is not interested in them!"

"The Great Sage Who Overturns the Sea possesses the physical bodies of the Four Chaotic Demon Apes, but his primordial spirit is incomplete. His fortune is inferior to that of the Four Ancient Demon Apes. Now that he has acquired the Black Soul of Wukong, he possesses both body and soul. In the future, he may become a major threat to us!"

"We'll talk about the future later. Right now, the fact that the Great Sage of the Overturning Seas has managed to retrieve Wukong's black soul has relieved our pressure. Otherwise, whenever I think about how the Great Sage's black soul is still hidden in the Yama's Palace, and how we have to confront it, my heart is pounding like a drum, and I can't calm down!"

When the True Lords heard that the two strong men had not killed the Great Sage Overturning the Sea, they were not too disappointed. Although they all knew that the Great Sage Overturning the Sea, having obtained Wukong's demonic thoughts, was like Sun Wukong obtaining the Golden Cudgel, or Liang Haishun obtaining the Life-Ending Cloth, causing considerable harm.

But wise people only see the present. In the eyes of these wise True Lords, the removal of the two great enemies, the Western Sea Demon and Black Wukong, from this abyss secret realm is beneficial and harmless to their pursuit of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc and the Reincarnation Dao Pattern.

Even Su Qing only glanced at Er Qiang with some disappointment, not thinking that letting the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea escape would be a big problem.

Because of this trouble, Erqiang will have to deal with it in the future.

Master Tong also understood this principle, and said to the smug and self-satisfied Gao Erqiang:

"Erqiang, don't be too happy yet. This Great Sage Who Overturns the Sea has obtained Wukong's Black Soul, and his future fortune will be no less than that of the ancient Great Sages. The reason he can have such fortune is because you let him escape. There is already a great karmic connection between you and him, and a battle is inevitable in the future. This demon may become your enemy for life. You should think carefully about how to deal with a Great Sage demon who has gathered the fortune of the four Chaos Demon Apes, with infinite divine powers and magic and superb demonic arts!"

Upon hearing this, Erqiang's smile vanished instantly. He thought he had finally turned his luck around and had a stroke of good fortune, as the enemy had retreated on his own initiative, allowing him to easily obtain the blessing of the Heavenly Origin War God. However, he never expected that this would dig such a huge pit for his future.

But thinking about it now is pointless. He might not even have the chance to face the Great Sage Who Overturns the Sea in the next thousand years, because he broke through the Abyss Secret Realm and took the wrong path home!

"Breaking through the abyss and crossing the chaotic void, and because the sixth-order Heavenly Gate of the Heavenly Origin Realm has not yet opened, this Great Sage of the Overturning Sea will likely only be able to find a place to cultivate in seclusion among the myriad worlds in the future. From this point of view, it is likely that he and the Demon Buddha also have their own sordid dealings."

It was only through the methods of the Demon Buddha that we were able to enter this abyss. But according to the Demon Buddha's wishes, he should have combined with Wukong's demonic thoughts to bury us all in this abyss, release all the great demons in the Yama Palace, let the evil demons control the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and then steal the power of the Underworld. Then, through the Demon Buddha's opening of the space-time channel, we would return to the Heavenly Origin Realm.

Now that it has obtained Wukong's demonic thoughts, it has completely abandoned all matters here. It doesn't even need to have the Demon Buddha open the time channel again to send it and the evil demons back to the Tianyuan Realm. It must have decided to sever ties with the evil forces.

"The evil demons are born from evil spirits, but in this world, will they break free from the clutches of evil spirits?"

Su Qing muttered to himself, thinking that among all the heavens and myriad realms, the new monstrous offspring born because of demons, which were not accepted by all races and beings, were not limited to the demon race alone.

Evil cultivators, divine fiends, wicked dragons, beast fiends... these beings are not pure demons, but they suffer the same treatment as demons in the myriad realms, and are hated and killed by all races and beings.

Thus, if this Great Sage Overturning the Sea were to integrate the power of these bastards, his power would be so great that the threat he posed to all the heavens and myriad realms would be no less than that posed by demons and evil spirits!

But when the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. As for what will happen to the bastards and demons in the future, that's for the three sects of the Dao lineage to worry about. When the Great Sage Overturns the Sea grows up, the two strong ones will also take over.

He couldn't worry about so much for the time being. Ensuring that his group could successfully pass through the Yama Palace would be a great help to all the heavens and the myriad realms.

Erqiang's offer of an official position was just a casual remark, as he had no official rank on the Investiture of the Gods list, and he didn't want to entrust his divine will to it, thus becoming subject to others' control. However, the group of stone god officials he had just subdued were extremely satisfied with the promise Su Qing had made to them.

Right now, all they want to do is work hard for their newly recognized Heavenly Emperor boss. As long as this Heavenly Emperor boss returns safely to the Heavenly Origin Realm, they can then divide the gold and enjoy a good life as stone officials.

This is an incredible opportunity, and they have no choice but to work hard!
The group continued walking forward.

Three thousand stone-weight officials led the way.

Six hundred elite stone men closely guarded Su Qing.

On the left is Hu Dan, and on the right is Er Qiang.

Even the giant Kun from the North Sea, which had transformed into a eagle-headed, human-bodied creature, couldn't find its place in this luxurious guard group. Su Qing assigned it to the sky to take on the role of the lead Kun of the aerial fleet.

As the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea led the evil demons of the Western Sea away, Wei Debao and the others, who had been lagging behind, caught up with the vanguard along with the other True Lords.

Su Qing glanced at the list and saw that there were more than ten True Monarchs who had fallen, and hundreds of Nascent Soul cultivators.

This was within his expectations, and the losses were even smaller than he anticipated, thanks to the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea abandoning his post and running away.

Thinking back to the Huang family's previous attempt to conquer this abyss secret realm with just one Nascent Soul True Monarch and two or three fourth-tier Nascent Soul cultivators, it all seems even more ridiculous.

Will this group of people become a joke, just like the Huang family?

It's still uncertain; we'll have to see what other beings await them within the Yama's Palace.

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, this Yama Palace is very different from the ancient one. For countless years, this abyss has been devouring and aggregating the fragments of the ancient underworld within the void."

Most of the eighteen hells of the ancient underworld have now been gathered in one place, and this Yama Palace has thus acquired many abilities that did not exist in ancient times.

I once saw that one day, countless rays of light emanated from this hall, and the sounds of great bells and drums resounded endlessly. Evil spirits and demons, disguised as ancient immortals and Buddhas, held a celestial banquet in this hall. I also saw demons reach into the turbulent currents of time and space, grabbing countless souls to feast on.

All of this was beyond the capabilities of the ancient Yama King. On one occasion, in order to investigate the true nature of the evil spirits in this palace, I pretended to accept their invitation and went deep into the palace, thus gaining some understanding of the demons and monsters within.

The one who now rules this palace is the King of Reincarnation, a demon who claims to be the manifestation of the Dao of Reincarnation. He is the Underworld, and the Underworld is him. He wants to recruit heroes and wait for the right opportunity to manifest in all the heavens and rebuild the ancient Underworld.

Below the King of Reincarnation are the Twelve Five Elements Demon Generals, the Yin Soul Army led by the Evil of the Bridge of Life and Death, and the Blood River Underworld Army led by the Blood Mosquito Taoist and other demons. Of course, the Heavenly Emperor's divine might is unparalleled, and these shrimp soldiers and crab generals have all been subdued by the Heavenly Emperor.

However, the Heavenly Emperor must not be careless, for the King of Reincarnation still has elite troops and powerful generals under his command who act as his henchmen and serve him at his beck and call.

There are ten Yama Kings. These ten Yama Kings were formed after the ten Yama Kings of the ancient underworld fell and their divine bodies were possessed by evil spirits. They can use some of the Yama Kings' methods from their previous lives. The strong ones have the combat power of a sixth-level righteous god, and the weak ones have at least the prestige of a fifth-level peak.

There were five Demon Lords: the Dragon God Prince, the Great Black Buddha Mother, the White Elephant Prison King, the Soul Banner Taoist, and the Black Soul Wukong. Now that the Black Soul Wukong is gone, only the other four Demon Lords remain. They were all vicious and evil people who wreaked havoc in ancient times. Even after years of reformation in the ancient underworld, they could not change their evil nature. After the collapse of the ancient underworld, they regained their ferocity and have been resurrected to this day. They should all be sixth-level warriors, and they are not easy to deal with.

Besides the Ten Kings of Hell and the Four Demon Lords, who require our attention, the ghost messengers and officials of the ancient underworld, whose stance is not as firm as our stone officials, have been corrupted and fallen by evil spirits. Now they are all subservient to the King of Reincarnation, and are also obstacles on the Heavenly Emperor's path!

After all, the Stone God had spent so many years in the Underworld, and he knew all the secrets of the ancient Underworld and the development and changes of the Abyss Realm over the years.

Now that they have acknowledged a new master, they must explain everything in detail so that Su Qing and the others can finally understand the true situation inside the Yama Palace!

The situation wasn't particularly good. Despite everyone's repeated attempts to elevate the Yama's Palace to a higher level, they ultimately realized they had underestimated the hidden risks within it.

The strength of the Reincarnation King is self-evident. Whether the Four Imperial Dao Patterns have become sentient or transformed into evil, they cannot be weak. Just by looking at Su Qing, who wields the Azure Dragon Dao Pattern and the Taixu Sun and Moon Dao Pattern, and the Demon Buddha, who wields the Time Dao Pattern, one can know what level of existence the Reincarnation King must be.

The Ten Kings of Hell are certainly not weak. Although only King Qin Guang, King Chu Jiang, and King Zhuan Lun have recovered to their sixth-tier power, the combined strength of the Ten Kings of Hell, utilizing the power of the ancient underworld, allows them to employ countless methods. Their threat cannot be simply measured by their individual combat strength.

As for the four demon lords, regardless of anything else, just the fact that they were able to be ranked alongside Black Soul Wukong as equals shows that they each possess extraordinary abilities and are not ordinary people.

Fortunately, their opponents were strong, but their side wasn't bad either.

Dozens of Nascent Soul True Monarchs, along with many powerful techniques that their respective sects had kept hidden, were yet to be used.

The newly recruited stone priests were eager to impress their new boss, and their strength and combat power were by no means inferior.

With the return of the two powerful figures, Su Qing himself also advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, gaining control of the Taixu Sun and Moon Dao Patterns, and the progress of the Puppet Immortal accelerated dramatically.

"There's plenty to fight!"

Shao Delong shouted loudly, just like back then, fearless of anyone.

Whether he is afraid or not is irrelevant to the overall situation, because his own strength is negligible, but this courage is crucial for the team that has learned about the specific situation of the Underworld.

"Please follow me. Fellow Daoist Tong and I are already very familiar with the situation of this Yama Palace. Once we get here, we are fully confident that we can wipe out this den of thieves completely. There is no need for any hesitation!"

Su Qing lifted his Taoist robe and took the lead, setting an example as the leader, and walked straight ahead.

At this moment, the darkness ahead was no longer a complete void.

A strange fragrance wafted in, and a divine light shone through, making it seem less like the underworld and more like a paradise on earth! (End of Chapter)
