Immortality begins with meditation puppets

The strong support from many immortal kingdoms in the Western Sea cultivation world was like a timely rain, allowing Tong Chang and the Four Ancient Celestial Masters to stabilize the situation. However, even with such a massive amount of resources, it wouldn't last long under the Four Celestial Masters' frenzied output and crazy power generation.

However, as long as they can hold out until the reinforcements from the Great Heavenly Sect arrive, Tong Chang's mission with the Four Ancient Celestial Masters will be complete, and he can retire successfully. If the Demon Buddha ultimately succeeds, the Great Heavenly Sect should bear the brunt of the blame afterward, while Tong Chang will not be held responsible. In the event of the Four Celestial Masters' spirits dissipating, all the credit will still be inherited by Tong Chang.

With the situation at the Land of Fallen Dao now stable, it was up to the great sects of the heavens to decide what to do next. Su Qing had no time to continue paying attention.

The Demon Buddha caused trouble in the Land of Fallen Dao, focusing his energy on the Lingxiao Palace, while also restraining most of the forces in the mortal world, making it difficult for him and the Reincarnation Demon to receive any further assistance from the outside world.

The final deciding factor will depend on the strength that each of them has accumulated in this realm.

He is quite confident about his physical development.

The Reincarnation Demon above the Crimson Moon also learned of what had happened at the Land of Fallen Dao.

He was initially delighted, because in his view, the Heavenly Emperor's Dharma Body and the Great God's Divine Body in the Lingxiao Palace were what Su Qing was most determined to obtain.

The saying goes, "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." ​​You, Su Qing, already wield one of the four symbols of the Heavenly Emperor: the Taixu Sun and Moon Dao Pattern. If you were to obtain the Heavenly Emperor's Dharma Body, and step forward to declare yourself the Heavenly Emperor, no one in the myriad realms would dare to disagree.

Having the throne of the Heavenly Emperor firmly in one's grasp is better than anything else.
In comparison, it makes no sense to compete with it for this cycle of reincarnation patterns.

Over the years, through Su Qing's series of actions, he had long realized that this kid could not accommodate the Reincarnation Dao Pattern, and that the Reincarnation Dao Pattern was not compatible with him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have swallowed several reincarnation treasures and then spat them out to refine puppets. If he could digest such good things himself, would he have been willing to give them to the puppets?

If it weren't for the Lingxiao Palace incident, Su Qing and I, the Samsara Demon, would have continued our bitter feud, and I, the Samsara Demon, would have accepted it. After all, we have different stances. I'll draw my sword, you'll wield yours, and we'll clash and fight to see who's superior, all for the sake of our respective camps.

But things are different now. That Demon Buddha is no more cunning and treacherous than the Reincarnation Demon, posing a greater threat to living beings.
You must know that it has now almost mastered the perfect Dao of Time and most of the Dao of Merit. If it were to obtain the Heavenly Emperor's Dharma Body and the elite divine bodies of the ancient Heavenly Court in the Lingxiao Palace, the Reincarnation Demon would be worried sick for all living beings. In terms of harm, this Demon Buddha is far greater than the Reincarnation Demon.

As for the benefits, why doesn't Su Qing fight for the readily available position of Heavenly Emperor? What's the point of fighting to the death over a Reincarnation Dao Pattern that he can't control? Just to target the Reincarnation Demon?
How incredibly foolish!

Seeing that Su Qing remained unmoved and even crafted a sixth-order puppet every few years, the Five Buddhas of Reincarnation Demonic Qi ascended to heaven, wishing they could pry open Su Qing's head to see what was inside!
Su Qing was unaware of the Reincarnation Demon's thoughts, and even if she had, she would have simply laughed it off.

Therefore, although he wanted to compete for the throne of the Heavenly Emperor and the Human Emperor, he was not too obsessed with it.

In fact, he did not actively seek out the Azure Dragon Dao Pattern and the Tai Xu Sun and Moon Dao Pattern. It was because he did what the Human Emperor and Heavenly Emperor should do that he received these things.

In other words, the position of Human Emperor or Heavenly Emperor is not a fixed position. You are only Human Emperor or Heavenly Emperor if you do what Human Emperor or Heavenly Emperor can do.

Now, he is doing what the Human Emperor and Heavenly Emperor would do!
Another thirty years have passed.

Over the course of more than thirty years, he crafted six sixth-order puppets, two of which failed and four were successful.

Just as the True Lords who were crafting puppets for his beloved son worried, no one could maintain a 100% success rate in crafting puppets.

At least Su Qing doesn't have that ability until he maxes out his proficiency with sixth-tier puppets.

The current success rate has already greatly satisfied the anxious True Lords of the various sects. The True Lord Guangxian of the Primordial Sect, who successfully crafted two sixth-order puppets for him, now praises him endlessly and boasts about his puppet-crafting skills to everyone he meets.

"Speechless, truly speechless. When True Lord Su obtained the title of Master of the Heavens Puppet, there were still some discontent and resentment within our sect. After I return to the sect this time, I will present the Fairy of Qinse and the Azure Giant Root to them and see what they have to say. In addition, I would also like to suggest to the sect that we outsource all puppets below the sixth rank in our Puppet Hall to True Lord Su in the future. It will save time, effort, and worry!"

Some were happy while others were sad. Those who were successfully refined were overjoyed, while those who were not were devastated.

For example, Zhongze Zhenjun of the Dongwang Sect has never smiled since Su Qing broke the Yin-Yang Jade Tablet that their Dongwang Sect had brought out twelve years ago.

He even suspected that Su Qing was deliberately targeting their Dongwang Sect, because the quality of the spiritual treasures that their Dongwang Sect brought out was by no means low. It didn't make sense that other people's puppets were successful while his wasn't.

But that doesn't make sense. If anyone is going to target someone, Su Qing should target Liu Gandang, that shameless guy!
Five years ago, Su Qing successfully refined Liu Gandang's Seven Star Nails. Moreover, because he also added a wisp of innate calamity energy, he risked everything and succeeded. Su Qing succeeded in refining Liu Gandang's puppet, making it the only high-grade sixth-order puppet among this batch of sixth-order puppets.

"How about it, True Lord Zhongze? What do you think of the strength of my Seven Killings Calamity Star? Can it compare with the sixth-order true disciples of the great sects of the heavens? Sigh, to be honest, its strength is not bad, and it can barely serve as the treasure of my Penglai Immortal Island, but it is still somewhat imperfect. It looks too evil, and it doesn't look like a good puppet. It doesn't quite match the ethereal temperament of my Penglai Immortal Island!"

Seeing Liu Gandang's hypocritical act of taking advantage and then rubbing salt into others' wounds, Zhongze Zhenjun became even more furious.

As much as he was annoyed, he could still bear it, because his Eastern King Clan was a large and powerful family. Losing a spiritual treasure and a puppet was still within his acceptable range.

He looked at Gao Erqiang and Liang Haishun, noticing that others were in a worse situation than him.

There was one sixth-order puppet that failed to be crafted, consisting of the two of them.

If we're talking about who's worse off, they're worse off than me.

"Everyone said not to refine it, not to refine it, but you insisted on taking a gamble, Lao Liang. Your Life-Ending Cloth is gone, it's just a piece of rag anyway. But my Floating Pagoda has accompanied me all the way up in my cultivation, witnessing all the glory of Erqiang. You could call it half a son to me, and you've just ruined it!"

Erqiang was really unhappy because he was penniless and only had two or three treasures. Apart from the three-pointed double-edged sword that couldn't be moved, the only thing he could give Su Qing to refine into a puppet was the Floating Pagoda, but it was refined to the point that Su Qing lost everything.

If you lose a bet, you can't blame yourself; you can only vent your anger on others.

Blame Su Qing? You can't blame him, because when he and Liang Haishun came to him, he said that although the two of them were going to cooperate in refining puppets, both the Floating Pagoda and the Life-Destroying Cloth were too low-grade. The possibility of combining the two into one and refining a sixth-order puppet was extremely small.

Su Qing had refused all of them back then, but Gao Erqiang and Liang Haishun, relying on their past friendship, shamelessly asked him to help them cut in line for refining. As a result, the refining failed, which delayed Su Qing for several years. How could he possibly blame Su Qing now? He just wanted Su Qing not to blame him.

The only one to blame is Liang Haishun, who insisted on encouraging him to use the treasure to create a puppet.

Liang Haishun also harbored resentment towards him.

"Isn't it because you, Gao Erqiang, were sighing and complaining all those days, envious that others could refine sixth-order puppets, that you missed this opportunity to get Su Qing to refine a puppet for free, and now you feel like you lost out?"

If I hadn't seen you so distressed, I wouldn't have even considered collaborating with you on puppet making.

"Besides, since the puppet's creation failed, you, Erqiang, should bear the primary responsibility. Su Qing already said he was working on it perfectly, it was almost finished, and then your Floating Pagoda suddenly vanished for some unknown reason. Didn't you say this treasure was something you raised like a son? Why isn't it obeying your commands anymore!"

Liang Haishun didn't tolerate Gao Erqiang at all, because he was in the right. It was indeed the problem with Gao Erqiang's Floating Pagoda that caused the puppet to fail to be made. After all, the main material had flown away, so how could they make a sesame seed?

Hearing him talk about it, Gao Erqiang also felt a little guilty.

He did indeed find the pagoda there, in a corner of the Cloud Mountain Immortal Kingdom. It didn't have any special properties back then. It was only after he nurtured it with his divine power over the years that it slowly developed some mysterious uses. He really thought that this treasure was nurtured by him.

"The Pagoda grew up and flew away, that was my problem, but now you insist on making me solve Helian Xian's organizational issues, isn't that a bit like bullying a god!"

Looking at Helian Xian, who clearly had no future, Gao Erqiang was unwilling to follow Liang Haishun's wishes and make him a permanent employee, allowing him to take his position as a guardian deity. Does this old man look like someone who can be a guardian deity? He occupies his position but is of no use at all, and Gao Erqiang has to use his divine power to support him!
"That won't do. You must compensate Fellow Daoist Helian, because the Life-Destroying Cloth belongs to Fellow Daoist Helian. Since your magic weapon malfunctioned and the Floating Pagoda took the Life-Destroying Cloth with it, you must compensate Fellow Daoist Helian!"

Liang Haishun argued his case, but he couldn't get Helian Xian to rely on Gao Erqiang, otherwise the old man would keep clinging to him.

Helian Xian, however, showed no interest in the argument between the two.

He only recognized one thing: the Meteorite Cloth was his family heirloom and a reliable source of income. Now that he had lost that source of income, the two of them had to give him a free source of income in return.

The argument between these people made Zhongze Zhenjun feel much better, but his mood immediately sombered again.

Because Su Qing had successfully crafted another puppet.

But then a black and white light rose from within the divine weapon base.

Immediately, a serpent and a tortoise appeared, dancing and floating in the heavens of the divine realm.

Upon seeing these two illusory figures, Shi Lijing trembled all over.

"It's done! Our Yin-Yang White Bone Tablet has been transformed into a puppet! I made the right bet, I made the right bet!"

The True Lords present could all feel Shi Lijing's excitement.

Because of the pressure he has been under over the years, he is a poor man like Gao Erqiang and others. He only has one acquired spiritual treasure. If he fails, he will become a sinner of the sect and it will be difficult for him to have the strength and confidence to fight for the interests of the Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom when he enters the Tianyuan Realm in a large number of worlds.

Now that he has succeeded in one fell swoop, he is naturally happy.

But what made him even happier was yet to come.

Because the puppets he created from the Yin-Yang White Bone Tablet were not one, but two, resulting in a double yolk!
"These two puppets are Tengshe Jun and Xuangui Jun. One is infused with the pure energy of Tengyang, and the Tengshe Jun it transforms into has the power to scorch demons and evil spirits with the blazing sun. The other is infused with the energy of Xuanyin Taixu, and the Xuangui Jun it transforms into has the ability to protect living beings and prevent them from being invaded by all evil."

This time, the crafting was not done by my, Su Qing, who lacked the ability and skill. This spiritual treasure does not seem to be used by a master of the demonic path, but rather by the ancient Zhenwu Emperor. It contains the glorious will of the Zhenwu Emperor to subdue demons and eliminate evil.

If my puppet-making skills were more advanced, I might be able to use this will to combine the Yin and Yang energies and create a top-grade sixth-tier puppet. However, to achieve this, I would need to master seventh-tier Yin-Yang runes and seventh-tier Divine Martial runes. In short, there are too many seventh-tier runes to master, and I have not yet mastered them all.

Therefore, I had no choice but to divide it in two and create these two puppets! But rest assured, Master, when I am able to do so in the future, I will help you upgrade and modify these two puppets so that they can unleash their full power!

When Su Qing, transformed into a thunder dragon, came out to explain the power of the two puppets, he was slightly apologetic, saying that he had not done a good enough job.

Shi Lijing was so excited he almost knelt down before him. He didn't care about the sixth-tier peak puppet or the True Martial Emperor.

All he cared about was that he now possessed two sixth-tier puppets—not one, but two—and his Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom was about to rise up in the mortal realm!
All of this was brought to him by Su Qing. Such a good person! His unfilial son back then tried to compete with him for a woman, but when he went back, he broke his legs!

Seeing that the gratitude on Shi Lijing's face seemed genuine, Leilong nodded slightly in the air.

Then, under the expectant gazes of the other True Lords, he announced:

"There are only fifteen years left until the final battle. In these fifteen years, I still need to make some other preparations and will not be able to help you fellow Daoists refine puppets for the time being. I also hope that you fellow Daoists can make good preparations."

I have a premonition that the Demon of Reincarnation, having remained dormant for so many years, must have unleashed some unexpected tactics upon that crimson moon. We must not let our guard down!

The True Lords were disappointed that their only chance to get Su Qing to create a puppet for free, a chance they had never had before and would never have again, had come to an end just like that.

Thunder Dragon drew an arc of electricity in the air before falling back into the weapon research and development room.

What no one knew was that Su Qing had already fully entered the sixth-tier Puppet Master realm! (End of Chapter)
