Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Thousands of peach trees bloomed, and two peach blossoms converged with countless sword lights, like a dazzling galaxy. The brilliance of that moment amazed everyone in this abyss secret realm.

"Wow, your Peach Blossom Sect really knows swordsmanship!"

"This is not how you use the swords of our ancestors!"

"If you go this far, you'll never live a normal life again!"

"One is the Fire Phoenix Princess, and the other is True Monarch Peach Blossom Spring. You've made such a big fuss. It's embarrassing for us who are behind you. We still have a future to live, and we don't want to use up the sect's resources like this!"

"Use it, use it! It's too late now, if you don't use it now, you might not have another chance!"

It must be said that the Undying Fire Source created by Princess Fire Phoenix and the Ancestral Peach Blossom Sword Intent used by True Monarch Peach Blossom Garden are both formidable treasures and powerful artifacts that would be considered extremely valuable in all the heavens and myriad realms.

Only such ruthless tactics could force the Reincarnation Demon, who was already on guard against their respective methods, to only try to mitigate some of the damage, unable to completely avoid it. This slowed down the Demon's progress in devouring the abyss and advancing to the seventh rank, thus achieving the goal previously discussed by the True Monarchs: before Su Qing was ready to confront the Reincarnation Demon head-on, they had to create some trouble for it to prove the value of themselves and their sects.

However, their actions were too ruthless and excessive. One burned the Phoenix Clan's most precious heirloom, and the other exhausted the ancestor's strongest sword intent.

This left the remaining True Lords with no choice but to take on as much work as they could, as they were too embarrassed to be stingy with their efforts and resources.

Moreover, the tricks they use must be impressive and resounding, as this is a time to prove the strength, foundation, and trump cards of their respective sects. If they lose face and reputation now, and if they manage to survive this ordeal, all the worlds will start to doubt the strength and capabilities of their own sects after they return to the Tianyuan Realm!
"New talents emerge in every generation, and in this world, it is the Winged Tiger Clan's turn to become the supreme ruler of the demon race. Behold our Winged Tiger Clan's secret treasure—the White Tiger Killing Diagram!"

With a pang of heartache, True Lord Winged Tiger took out from his bosom the White Tiger Killing Picture, a treasured artifact of his clan for thousands of years, which he used as the trump card for the Winged Tiger clan to contend with the demon race and advance towards the position of Demon Emperor.

This image was originally one of the Four Treasures of the Human Court: Azure Dragon Armor, Vermilion Bird Robe, Black Tortoise Shield, and White Tiger Image.

The Four Treasures of the Human Court gather the fortune of the human race, enabling the Human Court to establish itself in the center of the Heavenly Origin, rule over the four extremes and eight wastelands, and spread its prestige throughout the myriad realms.

As the Human Court collapsed in ancient times, the Four Treasures were also lost in the wilderness, and for countless years, no trace of the Four Treasures has been found.

The Azure Dragon Armor, formed from the Azure Dragon Dao Pattern, appeared with the rise of the human race and disappeared with its decline. It was only after Su Qing mastered the Azure Dragon Dao Pattern that the Azure Dragon Armor reappeared in the world.

The Xuanwu Shield was obtained by a national general of the Immortal Qin Martial Kingdom. This general once used the shield to block the attack of 100,000 troops of the Pingxi Martial Kingdom. He was known as the Shield of the Empire and the Guardian General. He once boasted that as long as he lived, the shield would be there and the country would be there. As long as he lived and the Xuanwu Shield was not lost, the Immortal Qin Martial Kingdom would be an impregnable fortress that no one could conquer.

Until a hundred years ago, after the Pingxi Wu Kingdom devoted its main military force to the cultivation world of the Western Sea, the Xianqin Wu Kingdom took the opportunity to expand rapidly in the Central Plains. Wherever its military might went, all countries submitted to it. In a short time, it swallowed up countless small countries. The Xianqin Wu Emperor even made the bold statement that the Azure Dragon Dao Mark was not the mark of the Human Emperor, but that their Xianqin Wu Kingdom was the rightful successor of the Human Emperor, and that they would rebuild the Human Emperor's Court in this life.

Unexpectedly, in the era of spiritual energy revival, extraordinary talents emerged one after another. No one knew from which hidden corner a cultivation prodigy would emerge. Only the Immortal Qin Martial Kingdom was unlucky. The dream of the Human Dao Imperial Court had just been realized when it ran into a tough opponent. In a little-known martial kingdom on the Central Plains that should have been easily conquered by the Immortal Qin Martial Kingdom, a remarkable woman appeared.

This girl came from a poor and destitute family. Before she came of age, she had never even seen a cultivator, let alone a cultivator.

But after the Immortal Qin Martial Kingdom attacked her own Martial Kingdom, seeing her homeland shattered and her people humiliated, this woman took up her sword and knife and learned scattered, unsystematic, and insignificant physical combat techniques from exiled martial artists. Like a sponge, she absorbed any nourishment that flowed near her without hesitation.

In just three years, she had become a second-tier body cultivator and led a group of martial artists to continuously sabotage the Immortal Qin Martial Kingdom's operations within the Martial Kingdom, protecting its people. Her resistance organization was repeatedly wiped out by the Immortal Qin Martial Kingdom, but no matter how many times the Immortal Qin Martial Kingdom wiped out the kingdom, after each time they thought they had completely destroyed it, they would find that she had returned with a new group of people and continued her resistance.

If it were merely her unwavering belief in fighting despite repeated defeats, it would be of no consequence to the Immortal Qin Martial Kingdom. No matter how much she caused trouble, the abilities of a second-tier body cultivator were ultimately limited and could not change the overall situation on the battlefield. Once the Immortal Qin Martial Kingdom sent two Golden Core cultivators to this place, the resistance action here would be met with a devastating blow. Very few resistance organizations would dare to show their faces again, because the Golden Core cultivators' Daoist firepower would not care about accidentally harming civilians; they would only annihilate the resistance organization along with its location into dust.

Due to the terrifying suppressive power of the Golden Core cultivator, this woman remained silent for seven or eight years. However, when she reappeared in everyone's sight, she had already changed her appearance and been reborn.

It was his inextinguishable, unyielding spirit that won him the approval of the Vermilion Bird Robe, hidden beneath the earth of this Martial Kingdom.

For the past seven or eight years, he has been undergoing a transformation and evolution under the influence of the Vermilion Bird Robe, making great progress in his cultivation. When he emerged from seclusion again, he already possessed the skills of a third-level body cultivator. Wearing the Crimson Flame Battle Armor and wielding the God-Slaying Battle Spear, he killed two Golden Core cultivators in his first battle, thus becoming famous overnight. With the force of thunder and lightning, he wiped out or drove out all the Xian Qin troops that had invaded his martial kingdom.

Subsequently, he led more than a hundred small countries that had been oppressed by the Immortal Qin Martial Kingdom to rise up in resistance. The sparks of resistance had already spread like wildfire. When the Immortal Qin Martial Kingdom turned its attention to this direction, it immediately sent a large army to suppress the rebellion. A Nascent Soul cultivator and a fourth-order divine general accompanied the army on the expedition. However, on the road to rebuilding the Humanity Imperial Court, no one could be allowed to provoke them in this way.

Unexpectedly, the powerful and forceful Immortal Qin Martial Kingdom still suffered a defeat at the hands of this woman.

The two sides have been fighting for over a hundred years. This woman went from being easily suppressed by a Nascent Soul cultivator and powerless when her heart was severed by a fourth-tier divine general, to gradually growing to the point where she could fight on equal terms with a fourth-tier divine general and make a Nascent Soul cultivator tremble with fear when she got close.

Later, when this woman advanced to the fourth level, even this Nascent Soul cultivator and the fourth-level Divine General could no longer be her enemy, so the Immortal Kingdom quickly dispatched its Guardian Divine General to punish this traitor.

The general who guarded the country, holding the Xuanwu Shield, fought this woman five times. He thought the Xuanwu Shield was invincible among its peers, but it could not completely defend against the crimson divine light of the Vermilion Bird Robe. Being in an enemy country, he could not use the resources of his own immortal country to unleash the Xuanwu Shield's strongest divine power—the Wall of Protection.

On the contrary, this woman was able to gather the high spirits of countless people who resisted the invasion of the Immortal Qin Martial Kingdom and condense the Vermilion Bird Robe's supreme divine power - Wildfire Hundred Slashes, so that the Guardian General's realm was superior to hers. However, because he was good at defense but not offense, and could not withstand the fierce burning and beating of the Vermilion Bird Robe's Wildfire Hundred Slashes, he could only retreat back to his own country, which made this woman famous.

The Vermilion Bird Maiden and the Anti-Qin Alliance have also come into the view of all the heavens and myriad realms, and are regarded by all the realms as the third seed candidates, second only to the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom and the Immortal Qin Martial Kingdom, to compete for the position of Human Emperor and rebuild the Human Court. Thus, three of the four treasures of the Human Court of yesteryear have been established.

No one expected that the White Tiger Killing Picture, one of the Four Treasures, would fall into the hands of the demon race.

It sounds unreasonable at first, but upon reflection, it makes sense.

Times have changed. As society develops and ideas evolve, people's concepts of choosing a spouse are vastly different from those of ancient times.

In ancient times, the boundaries between humans, gods, demons, and beasts were clear. The Heavenly Court governed from above, the Underworld punished from below, and the Human Court in the middle maintained the moral bottom line of the human race, so that humans, gods, demons, and beasts would not dare to defy the world and engage in illicit intermarriage, giving birth to demons, gods, beastmen, and other half-human races.

Since the collapse of the Heavenly Court, the disintegration of the Underworld, and the disintegration of the Human Court, the moral shackles of all races in the heavens were also broken. Suddenly, some people felt that some demons were charming and beautiful, and some beasts, although they looked strange, were not worth trying. Thus, people who were not recognized as "human" by the Human Court in ancient times, such as phoenix people, tiger people, and wolf people, appeared.

Within the demon race, races such as the Azure Lion, White Fox, and King Ape do not reject the phenomenon of half-demons; in fact, they encourage it. After all, humans refer to beings born from the union of the two races as half-demons. By absorbing them into the human race and utilizing their demon bloodline and physical advantages that surpass those of normal humans, the human race's strength and fortune are greatly enhanced.

The demon race could certainly utilize the human bloodline possessed by the half-demons to grant them intelligence potential far exceeding that of the demon race, thereby driving the overall progress of the demon race, especially in the cultivation of various arts. With the addition of these half-demons, the situation where they were far behind the human race and could only be exploited by the human race to reap the wealth of the demon race through the creation of various arts has been gradually alleviated in recent years.

The demon race also produces some exquisite creations that can compete with those of the human race. In order to win the hearts of these half-demons, the demons refer to them as half-human demons and regard them as members of the demon race.

The Winged Tiger clan is the most stubborn member of the demon race's bloodline theory. In their view, the weak and cunning human race is completely unworthy of defiling their great bloodline. If any Winged Tiger in the clan dares to have offspring with a human, he will be executed by the other Winged Tigers. They will guard against and prevent any Winged Tiger from appearing.

Unfortunately, since the collapse of the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man in ancient times, desires have run rampant. The desire-related Dao patterns, which were originally just the Five Elders Dao patterns in ancient times, have been elevated to the Four Imperial Dao patterns due to the raging desires of all living beings. This has caused all living beings and races in the present world to develop in a direction of shamelessness, indifference, and ruthlessness in their desire relationships. The pursuit of immoral stimulation drives the behavior of all living beings, which cannot be banished by the Winged Tiger Clan's strict prevention and control.

The Winged Tiger Ancestor, who was most obsessed with the Winged Tiger bloodline theory, became the first being to have offspring with a human. On the day he learned of the existence of a Winged Tiger, he was heartbroken after the birth of his son. He traveled a million miles overnight to the human territory, intending to personally annihilate him and then atone for his sins with his death.

But when they made their move, they discovered the White Tiger Killing Picture in the arms of the newborn winged tiger!

The Four Treasures of the Human Courtyard are born from the convergence of human fortune.

Even heaven and earth recognized the value of this winged tiger man, and from the moment he was born, this great treasure was bestowed upon him.

How could he disregard the will of Heaven and ruthlessly kill him?
As for Baihu Zhusha, this winged tiger was born with the Baihu Killing Diagram and spent his entire life in killing. Under his leadership, the winged tiger clan quickly became one of the most powerful clans among the demon races.

Throughout his life, he never used the White Tiger Killing Picture. Until today, the picture has reappeared in the world in the hands of his descendant, Winged Tiger True Lord.

As the map slowly unfolded within the abyss, a chilling and murderous phantom of a white tiger emerged from within it.

The tiger's eyes widened slightly, its languid demeanor tinged with unparalleled killing intent. As it moved, it saw seven constellations guiding starlight down from the abyss-like sky above, landing on the white tiger's body. The killing white tiger then unleashed its fury, landing within the Reincarnation Devouring Demon Cloud, where the Reincarnation Demon had gathered. It churned and raged within the demon cloud, tearing it apart and stirring up demonic shadows. It slaughtered until the demon cloud shrank by more than ten percent, until the evil light dimmed, before slowly disappearing from sight.

What made True Lord Winged Tiger sigh was that after the White Tiger Killing Picture displayed its power once, it turned into divine light and left, never returning to his hands.

This was to be expected, as the Four Treasures of the Human Court would only fall into the hands of those most likely to rebuild the Human Court. The Winged Tiger Clan was too busy fighting for power within the Demon Clan to get involved in the major conflicts of the Human Clan. They had no ambition or desire for such things. Once the White Tiger Killing Diagram was used, it would leave them and fall into the hands of someone more qualified to wield it. This was one of the reasons why the Winged Tiger Clan had possessed the diagram for many years but had been reluctant to use it.

With the appearance of this map, the four treasures of the Human Court have now all appeared in the world. After the events in the Abyss Secret Realm are over, the ancient human race's struggle for supremacy may be reenacted in the Tianyuan Realm. The four forces that possess the four treasures may fight to the death, and in the struggle, the glorious power of the Human Court of the past will be restored.

All the True Lords understood the significance of this diagram's appearance. This was something that could only be addressed after the Demon of Reincarnation was dealt with. If this demon was not eliminated, then the Humanity Imperial Court, the Four Kingdoms War, and any investments or bets would all be meaningless.

It must be said that the White Tiger Killing Picture is indeed powerful and fierce, drawing upon the radiant star power of the seven constellations of the White Tiger, and unleashing an incomparably scorching and hard killing aura, causing the rising momentum of the Reincarnation Demon to plummet once again.

The True Lords pressed on, each employing their most powerful techniques, all with the same goal: to lock Su Qing's strength at the sixth rank before their final battle, preventing him from advancing to the seventh rank.

After all, although everyone pinned their hopes of defeating this demon on Su Qing, they couldn't make things too difficult for him. A fifth-tier demon fighting a seventh-tier demon was practically sending him to his death. It didn't matter if he died, but what would happen to them if he did?

Even Liu Gandang, who wished Su Qing would perish together with this Reincarnation Demon, now understood the importance of the matter. He also took out the Seven Star Nail and, following the Mountain-Splitting Axe that the Eastern King Sect had cleaved out, fiercely stabbed at the demonic cloud.

And their efforts were not in vain.

When Su Qing stood up from the ground and faced the Reincarnation Demon.

This demon is still only at the peak of the sixth rank! (End of Chapter)
