Immortality begins with meditation puppets

"Where is Fellow Daoist Tong Changtong?"

When Su Qing took advantage of a break in the puppet-making process to go to the temple area and ask a group of True Lords,

Everyone was stunned!
"Tong Chang? You mean the Celestial Master of the Modern World? I didn't know him! I had completely forgotten about him!"

"How strange! I had no memory of him before, but after you asked, Su Zhenjun, I suddenly have memories of him. It's as if he just vanished from my mind!"

"Yes, where is Master Tong? Wasn't he with us in the Abyss Secret Realm? Why wasn't he brought to this Divine Realm this time?"

"Erqiang, you're no good at being a god! You used to call Tong Chang your brother, but this time when there's something to gain, you forgot to bring your brother along!"

The sudden appearance of the name left all the True Lords puzzled, as well as somewhat shocked and apprehensive.

Because no matter what, they could not ignore Tong Chang's existence.

His own abilities may be average, but his status as a Celestial Master in the present world is extraordinary. Whether they are in the Abyss Secret Realm or have fallen into this Divine Realm, his status in the team is among the top. He is someone that everyone will look at, whether there is something to do or not, and he has a certain say in the team.

Yet, they completely ignored this very person. Ever since everyone followed Su Qing into the Devouring Demon Cloud in the Abyss Secret Realm, Tong Chang seemed to have never existed.

One person may overlook him, but it's impossible for everyone to forget him at the same time!

After realizing something was wrong, all the True Lords immediately turned their gazes to Su Qing.

Because Su Qing was the first person to notice that Tong Chang seemed to be acting strangely.

"Don't look at me. I only realized something was wrong today because I suddenly had a sudden thought and discovered that I haven't seen Fellow Daoist Tong Chang!"

Su Qing frowned and said in a deep voice, he also did not know why Tong Chang had disappeared from their previous understanding.

But he knew one thing clearly: something big was going to happen to Tong Chang.

Just now, the Azure Dragon Dao Pattern and the Tai Xu Sun and Moon Dao Pattern simultaneously issued a warning to him.

That's when he suddenly remembered Tong Chang's existence.

To temporarily erase a person's existence from the past, present, and future—as far as he knew, only the Time Demon Lord and the Present World Demon Buddha could do this in the present world.

Why would the Demon Buddha of the present world want to erase Tong Chang's existence?

Did Tong Chang discover something, and the Demon Buddha did this to prevent him from sending messages to the heavens?
Su Qing can only speculate for now.

He wasn't afraid that the Demon Buddha would kill Tong Chang. Firstly, Tong Chang was the Celestial Master of the present world. If the Demon Buddha killed him, strange phenomena would occur throughout the heavens and myriad realms, and it would be impossible to conceal them.

Secondly, according to everyone's recollections, the time when everyone lost Tong Chang's skills was after they entered the Devouring Demon Cloud. At that time, Tong Chang was still in the Abyss Secret Realm. It was not an easy task for the Demon Buddha to kill Tong Chang from a distance. Although the old Taoist was only a fifth-level talisman master, his means of survival were unmatched by even a sixth-level Void Refinement cultivator.

"I have also mastered some of the Dao patterns of time, and I know the price that must be paid to erase the traces of living beings on the timeline by using these Dao patterns."

Depending on the individual's strength, abilities, and influence, the price they would have to pay would be drastically higher. Given Tong Chang's status as the Celestial Master of the present world, his influence in all the heavens and myriad realms is self-evident. If the Demon Buddha were to erase his mark of existence, the price he would have to pay would certainly not be small.

The fact that he would pay such a high price to do so clearly indicates that, in his view, doing so would yield greater benefits than the price he paid.

In other words, what he wanted to conceal must have been of great significance to it and to the evil spirits.

What events have occurred in the heavens and earth? Where has the hand of the Demon Buddha reached?

The Demon Buddha, who is the hidden leader of all demons after their emergence, is the mastermind behind all their actions.

Su Qing dared not ignore any of his actions.

Especially now that his decisive battle with the Demon of Reincarnation is imminent, and it is clear that he can influence the balance of power between demons and living beings, the Demon Buddha only made a slight move, seemingly not focusing his attention on this.

This made Su Qing even more concerned and anxious about what it was planning and concealing.

Under the watchful eyes of the True Lords, he summoned the Mirror King God, using this sixth-order puppet to reflect the past and future of all heavens in an attempt to search for the whereabouts of Tong Chang and the Demon Buddha.

As he expected, Tong Chang was nowhere to be found in the Abyss Secret Realm, and the Demon Buddha was nowhere to be seen on Mount Wufo.

The Mirror King's divine light swept across the heavens of the present world, and even when he looked at the past and future, he still could not discern where these two beings had ended up.

"There's no other way. This Mirror King God is ultimately just a sixth-order puppet. If the Demon Buddha intends to conceal it, with his abilities and the status of the Four Imperial Dao Patterns and Time Dao Patterns, the Mirror King God simply cannot do anything to him!"

Su Qing shook her head, and Jianglong Fuhu sighed in response.

Since Su Qing had used the Mirror King God, it would be handed over to the Styx Sect, and in the future it would become their puppet. Naturally, they hoped that its abilities would become as great as possible.

"Call for help! Our sect has a Great Evolution Dao Master who has some knowledge of causal Dao patterns. Perhaps we can get him to help us deduce what kind of conspiracy this Demon Buddha is plotting!"

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, True Lord Guangxian spoke directly.

Su Qing nodded in agreement.

After he created the sixth-order puppet, he gained the ability to manifest in the heavens and connect with the mortal world.

In recent days, they have also received news from the heavens that while they were fighting the Demon of Reincarnation in the abyss, the demons that have appeared in the world have not been idle either.

Within the Tianyuan Realm, ten thousand demons emerged from Mount Wufo. With the help of the Four Evil Symbols possessing demonic influence, they swiftly destroyed the first chain—the Western Sea Three Thousand Islands Alliance—that the Yuanshi Sect and the Western Sea cultivation world had jointly created for them. This forced the Thousand Islands Immortal Kingdom to seek refuge on Penglai Immortal Island and invaded the Xingsha Divine Kingdom and the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom.

Although they achieved some success in the Western Sea cultivation world, the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom and the Penglai Immortal Kingdom were well prepared, and the Xingsha Divine Kingdom, with the help of the Yumo Immortal Kingdom, the Huofeng Immortal Kingdom, and other immortal kingdoms, resisted quite effectively. Therefore, they did not cause a major disaster in the Western Sea cultivation world.

The demonic attack on the Tower of Babel in the northern border of Tianyuan failed because the number of fifth-tier True Monarchs inside the Tower of Babel far exceeded the demons' expectations.

As for the Eastern Wilderness, the Central Plains, and the Southern Frontier, although evil spirits and demons have also emerged, causing panic and chaos, the intensity is far less than that of the Western Sea cultivation world and the Northern Territory, so they have not caused much trouble for the evil spirits.

The situation in the Tianyuan Realm itself remained stable. While the demons launched their largest attack to date in the Burial Immortal Realm, the various sects were well-prepared and provided timely support. When Cyber ​​Martial Emperor pursued the Mist Sea Evil Dragon God to the Yuanshi Sect, Bai Yu Heavenly Lord was still holding a victory celebration. Therefore, in the eyes of Su Qing and the other True Lords present, the situation in both the mortal realm and the Tianyuan Realm was relatively stable. The focus of the recent battles between the demons and living beings was still on their side; the outcome of their fight against the Reincarnation Demon was the most pressing concern for all beings in the myriad realms and the demons.

Unexpectedly, the Demon Buddha had other plans. The key point is that no one had thought of them and was unprepared. That's why True Lord Guangxian thought of asking the Celestial Venerable of the Present World for help. Even if he couldn't predict anything, at least he could remind the cultivators of the Present World to be wary of the Demon Buddha.

The moment Su Qing had the thought, the Mirror King God landed inside the Primordial Sect of Kunlun Realm.

The faces of Su Qing and Guangxian Zhenjun were reflected in the mirror, immediately attracting the attention of the elders and powerful figures of the Yuanshi Sect, who all turned their divine senses toward this place.

If it were just True Monarch Guangxian, or the Twelve Peak Masters and Supreme Elders of the Yuanshi Sect, these seventh-order Dao Lord level beings would not take him seriously. He was just a junior with some potential, but his upper limit was probably just like theirs, and whether he could reach that limit was still unknown.

They are the ones who stand at the pinnacle of cultivation in this era where the Dao Ancestor has not appeared. Over the years, geniuses have been as numerous as carp crossing a river, but only a handful have been able to reach them. Therefore, it is impossible for them to value Guangxian Zhenjun highly.

However, Su Qing was an existence they could not ignore. It was not because Su Qing was the leader of the Puppet Masters of the Heavens. The leader of the Puppet Masters of the Heavens was not even a sixth-order puppeteer. There was a seventh-order puppeteer in the Heavens, and he was not worthy of their high regard. How could they treat him so highly just because of his achievements as a puppeteer?

It's not because he possesses two Dao patterns, making him a strong contender for the current Human Emperor and the current Heavenly Emperor. The Four Imperial Dao Patterns, the Human Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor, are certainly of utmost importance and value, but he is not yet one. Even if he were, given their status as the three sects of the Yuanshi Sect, they could treat the Human Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor as equals, without having to bow down to them.

They valued Su Qing because Yuan Shizong had previously gained fame because of him!

Last time, the Primordial Bell rang because of the Cyber ​​Martial Emperor he had crafted, causing panic among the cultivators of the Primordial Sect. They were afraid that this sect's treasured artifact would displease them. Now that he has brought a puppet to their door again, everyone is afraid that he will be displeased and cause the Primordial Bell to ring again.

After a brief introduction by Guangxian Zhenjun, Su Qing greeted and paid his respects to the great virtuous and powerful figures, including Yuanshi Zong.

To make a long story short, he told them everything he had discovered and everything that worried him.

"That's how it is. Fellow Daoist Tong and I have known each other for many years. I know his character well. He may be lazy in small matters, but he has never failed to take responsibility in important matters."

This time, he accompanied Xiaodao to the Abyss Secret Realm. Unless something else major happens, he will not disappear without reason before dealing with the Reincarnation Demon.

As for the methods of the Demon Buddha, whether in ancient times or in the present world, all of you seniors are well aware of them. Since he can even put aside the affairs of the Reincarnation Demon, what he is truly planning must be something earth-shattering and have a great impact on our living beings.

The reason I appeared in the Divine Realm was that I had already exhausted all my efforts to fight against the Demon of Reincarnation, and I was simply unable to spare the time. I could only entrust this matter to you seniors.

With the extraordinary abilities of your predecessors and the profound foundations of the great sects, you should be able to accomplish something!

After Su Qing finished speaking, without waiting for a reply from the high-ranking cultivators of the Yuanshi Sect, Mirror King God disappeared from the Yuanshi Sect.

This left the high-ranking cultivators of the Yuanshi Sect completely dumbfounded.

Because Su Qing is clearly here to shift the blame!

His meaning was simple: he was the one who discovered it, so when it came time to divide the credit, he would definitely get his share.

But how to solve it? He had thought about it, but he didn't have the ability to do so, so he could only ask them to do it.

And what about those powerful cultivators at the Void Refinement stage, the seventh-level Dao Lords?

They were completely unaware of this matter. If the Demon Buddha really caused a great disaster, they would not get any credit for it when the blame was divided afterward.

But now, Su Qing has informed them of this matter and asked them to resolve it.

This leaves them with no chance of remaining uninvolved. Anyone who hesitates to contribute in this matter will be the first to take the blame afterward, and they will undoubtedly be the ones to bear the brunt of the blame.

Of course, regardless of whether it's right or wrong, as long as they discover that the Demon Buddha is plotting something, the high-ranking cultivators of the Primordial Sect cannot stand idly by. They just don't feel very comfortable right now.

"Go and tell the Lingbao Sect and the Taishang Sect that this matter concerns all living beings in the heavens, and they should also know about it and contribute their efforts!"

"Don't forget to also inform the Eastern King Sect, Peach Blossom Sect, and other major sects in the heavens. Although they are not as powerful as our three major sects, they also have some formidable methods!"

"Let's just announce this to the heavens! Everyone, don't just sit idly by, let's all brainstorm a solution!"

The high-ranking cultivators of the Primordial Sect reacted quickly, instantly shifting the blame to the myriad realms.

Instantly, beams of profound light gathered from all the heavens and myriad realms toward the Primordial Sect.

Those who came were at least sixth-level Void Refinement cultivators. Without the strength of a sixth-level Void Refinement cultivator, one would have no qualification or ability to participate in such an important matter.

When all the high-ranking cultivators gathered together, they checked their information and were surprised to find that, before Su Qing came out to inform them...

These high-ranking cultivators from all the heavens and powerful figures from all the sects, without exception, all overlooked the existence of Tong Chang, the living Celestial Master.

Of course, everyone here is a highly skilled cultivator who is extremely busy. Apart from his title as the Celestial Master of the Present World, Tong Chang is not a particularly noteworthy existence. In addition, the various upheavals caused by evil spirits in the Tianyuan Realm and the myriad realms have distracted their minds, so it is normal for them to overlook him.

But as Su Qing said, it's normal for one or two powerful cultivators not to pay attention to Tong Chang's movements, but if everyone ignores Tong Chang, then there must be a problem.

It should be noted that these people include the seventh-order Dao Lords from all the heavens and myriad realms.

A seventh-order Dao Lord can be regarded as an incarnation of a Dao pattern. To deceive their perception is like deceiving the Great Dao. Such a method is something that the Demon Buddha can do by using the Dao pattern of time. The price he has to pay may be even greater than when he mobilized all the evil demons of the heavens to besiege the Burial Immortal Realm.

Thus, his desires, actions, schemes, and plans are chilling just to think about.

"To deal with the Four Imperial Dao Patterns, we must use the other four Imperial Dao Patterns. Let me use the Dao Pattern of Cause and Effect to see where this Demon Buddha is and what he is plotting!"

"I, Desolate Sword, will lend you a hand with the Dao of Sword!"

"I can also use some of the Dao patterns of non-action to help you two fellow Daoists resist the interference of the Heavenly Demon Generals!"

"My Eastern King Sect also possesses a magical treasure, which can borrow a trace of the power of Yin-Yang Dao patterns!"

"Even the demonic embryo of my Luo Hou Sect will take action!" (End of Chapter)
