Immortality begins with meditation puppets

The growth of a cultivator's strength depends on both personal effort and good fortune.

For Su Qing, it hadn't been long since he was promoted to a fifth-tier puppeteer. The fifth-tier puppets he had created, such as the Giant Kun of the North Sea and the Pengtian Armored Peng, hadn't even been put to good use yet, and now they were facing the fate of being modified, upgraded, or eliminated.

The reason he was able to advance from a fifth-tier puppeteer to a sixth-tier puppeteer in such a short period of time is...

It was all because of his battle with the Demon of Reincarnation.

The countless divine weapon masters in the divine realm are also puppeteers as defined in the mortal world. They embarked on the path of puppeteers because of the divine weapon manuals that Xiong Er and Hu Dan brought them.

Perhaps at the beginning, they were just toddlers learning to walk, only able to follow the instructions and refine puppets according to the blueprints in his divine weapon manual. At most, they would combine the resources and needs of this world to carry out some localization modifications in the process.

However, after two or three hundred years, due to the pressure brought to the beings of this world by the Reincarnation Demon, coupled with the fact that the beings of this world are uniquely blessed with limited physical bodies and souls, but whose divine consciousness and thinking can soar, which is the natural talent of puppeteers, countless puppeteers have had their thoughts collide, their divine consciousness exchange, and they have been constantly putting their ideas into practice to verify them.

The many divine weapons and puppets crafted by the puppeteers of this world also broadened Su Qing's horizons and brought him much benefit.

For example, a puppeteer (i.e., the engineer of divine weapons in this world) discovered that super-grade runes such as Yin-Yang runes were beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. He divided them into two, Yin into Yin and Yang, and together with hundreds of puppeteers, built two systems of runes from the first to the sixth tier: Xuan Yin and Chun Yang.

Building upon this achievement, Su Qing went a step further, creating the seventh-order Profound Yin and Pure Yang runes. This is why the Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom had the creation of the Teng Snake and Xuan Turtle puppets. It can be said that Shi Lijing should not kowtow to him, or rather, he should not only kowtow to him, but he should also kowtow to these puppeteers of the Divine Realm.

Besides their contributions to runes, these puppeteers also created several puppets that Su Qing considered quite good, even excellent.

There is a series called "Giant Warrior". This "Giant Warrior" is different from the "Tiger Egg Bear Two" and other "Giant Warriors" they mentioned before.

Tiger Egg, Bear Two, and Ah San were called the Savior Giants back then because in the realm of gods at that time, there was no such thing as a divine weapon puppet. In their eyes, they were the weapons of the gods, sent down to earth by the gods to save the world. They all had extraordinary wisdom to bring the spark of hope to all living beings—the Divine Weapon Catalogue.

Through their interactions with Su Qing over the past few centuries, they have come to know about the affairs of the myriad realms and that these demons are not only causing trouble within their own realm, but are also harassing the entire universe.

In the myriad realms, immortals and gods abound, cultivators and warriors emerge in great numbers, and the various arts of cultivation, such as arrays, artifacts, talismans, and puppets, are dazzling. The divine weapons they speak of are nothing more than puppets that have been developed over countless years in the myriad realms. The person who sent Xiong Er, Hu Dan, and A San to this realm back then was not a god, but the puppeteer Su Qing.

If the people who came back then were array masters, talisman masters, or alchemists, the divine realm would have developed in a completely different direction and with a completely different style by now.

In Su Qing's view, as long as one's divine sense is strong and combined with the resources of this world, the beings of this world can indeed achieve something in many arts and crafts such as array formations and talisman making. The only exception is alchemists, because after an alchemist reaches the fifth level, it may take hundreds or thousands of years to refine a single batch of pills. Given the lifespan of the beings of this world, it would be impossible to pass down a single batch of pills from generation to generation. One would have to put on the spirit of the Foolish Old Man Who Moved Mountains to refine pills.

In conclusion, after the beings of the divine realm learned about the existence of all the heavens and myriad worlds and the truth about cultivating various arts, although they still called puppets divine weapons according to habit, they also had a different understanding of the essence of divine weapons than before.

The current Giant Warrior series embodies their shock, awe, gratitude, and longing for the "Three Divine Weapons of Salvation" such as Tiger Egg, Bear Two, and Ah San. In a sense, it can be said to be their tribute to Tiger Egg, Bear Two, and Su Qing, who created Tiger Egg and Bear Two.

The first characteristic of this series of puppets is their size. Only the big can be powerful and strong. This is the mainstream understanding among puppeteers in this world, or perhaps it is influenced by puppets such as Tiger Egg, Bear Two, and Cyber ​​Martial Emperor.

And their idea was not wrong. Normally, a large puppet means that there are more materials piled up and more rune plating layers that can be applied, so naturally it can exert more abilities.

The reason why giant puppets are not very popular in the world is not because puppeteers do not want to, but because the conditions do not allow it. In the environment of the world, it is extremely difficult to gather enough basic materials to refine a fifth-order puppet. Furthermore, the losses from failed refining must be taken into account. Therefore, many puppeteers dare not invest heavily in refining giant puppets.

The puppeteers of the Divine Realm, however, did not have this problem. Because the resources of this realm were so abundant that they could not use them all, they only worried that they would not be able to utilize these resources to fight against the Reincarnation Demon in the final battle. They never thought about saving resources.

Thus, over the past few hundred years, one after another, giant puppets, each tens of thousands of feet tall, as majestic as mountains, and capable of shaking the earth, have been born in the realm of the gods.

In addition to their large size, these puppets also have the ability to transform into two forms: from humanoid to beast-like, or from beast-like to warship or fighter jet.

In human form, because they are branded with weapon runes and martial arts runes, they can use all eighteen martial arts like cyber martial emperors and body cultivators, making them human killing machines.

In their beast form, due to the effects of the demon beast runes and divine beast runes, they can simulate the abilities of ancient divine beasts and ferocious beasts from all over the world, displaying the most violent and direct killing and divine wonders.

As for the warships and fighter jets, they were created by the beings of this world in reminiscing about the technological civilization that their world had developed for thousands of years before the emergence of the evil red moon. For this reason, they created mechanical runes.

The moment this mechanical rune was created, even Su Qing was shaken. He was willing to temporarily halt the refining of the sixth-order puppet of the Eastern King Sect in order to come to the Divine Weapon Research and Development Headquarters to witness the birth of this rune with his own eyes.

As perceived by the Puppet Immortal, this mechanical rune was only slightly inferior to the top-tier runes such as the Yin-Yang Rune and the Creation Rune, and could be compared with runes such as the Divine Beast Rune and the Space Rune.

It is a rune that can bring about tremendous changes to all realms and all arts of cultivation.

The puppeteer who created this rune was a fourth-tier puppeteer from the divine realm, who was 186 years old. His entire body was made of puppets, and even half of his brain was replaced by puppets.

After creating this rune, even though it is only at the first level, the person immediately gained a massive amount of merit and good fortune, instantly making up for their deficiencies in both physical body and soul, and granting them a lifespan unmatched by any Nascent Soul cultivator in the world.

This is because even Heaven felt that such a talented person should not die young and wanted to protect him.

His name was Qi Tianyang. Among the countless puppeteers of this world whom Su Qing had taught in the divine consciousness network over the years, he was the most talented, insightful, and gifted. The moment he created the mechanical runes, Su Qing determined that he was perhaps the chosen one of this Divine Realm. If they succeeded in their fight against the Reincarnation Demon and this Divine Realm fell into the myriad worlds, he would be the most suitable person to assume the leadership of this realm and guide it to survive and develop in the myriad worlds.

He also carefully studied and researched the mechanical runes he created, and verified them on the sixth-order puppet he crafted for the Eastern King Sect, only stopping after he had upgraded it to the sixth order.

The only pity is that the sixth-order puppet of the Eastern King Sect was not very promising and was ultimately not successfully crafted. Otherwise, it might have become the first mechanical puppet in the heavens.

With his help, the Colossi were imprinted with sixth-order mechanical runes, which made them even more powerful. They could transform into various mechanical forms with different functions, such as super magnetic cannons, infinite psionic cannons, warships of the gods, and space fighters, but all of which were powerful and had great firepower.

Su Qing had high hopes for the Colossus series, even believing that if the divine realm were to descend into the mortal world in the future, this series of puppets could be used as a flagship product to continue developing the puppet industry in the myriad worlds, becoming an immortal kingdom even more pure than the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom, a kingdom founded on puppets.

Yes, although the beings of this world regard Su Qing as a holy teacher, if he raises his arm and calls, the beings of this world will still follow his lead when they go to the mortal world. If he is willing, after he solves the problem of the Reincarnation Demon, he can completely incorporate this world into the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom.

With the resources of this realm and the group of puppeteers cultivated, the foundation of the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom can indeed be replenished, enabling it to become a force to be reckoned with, on par with, the top immortal kingdoms of the Tianyuan Realm such as the Immortal Qin Martial Kingdom and the Xuanyuan Immortal Kingdom. It will also gain a certain advantage in future competition among the myriad realms.

In fact, the True Lords of the various realms in the Temple District have always thought so, and have tacitly accepted that this realm is Su Qing's possession. Therefore, in order to avoid displeasing Su Qing, they have tried to avoid suspicion and have rarely left the Temple District in recent years to contact the puppeteers of this realm, for fear that Su Qing would mistakenly think that they want to take over this realm.

In fact, Su Qing did not have such thoughts. In his view, he and the Divine Realm had a mutually supportive relationship, just like his relationship with the True Lords of the Realms. He had a real need to fight against the Reincarnation Demon, and the beings of this realm also had a survival need to fight against the Reincarnation Demon. Everyone worked together and contributed their efforts.

Just like the rune puppets, Su Qing brought them puppetry skills and taught them carefully. They also helped Su Qing refine the prototype of the puppets, innovated and developed the puppet runes, and shared them with Su Qing without reservation.

Thus, although the beings of this world see Su Qing as having done them a great favor by saving them and teaching them, Su Qing himself has never had any intention of taking advantage of this favor.

Once the Reincarnation Demon is dealt with, whether this Divine Realm should fall into the void and exist as an independent realm, or fall into the Tianyuan native land and transform into a celestial kingdom, he will respect the wishes of the beings in this realm.

Of course, he wouldn't refuse if they were willing to join the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom, because their existence would indeed be of great help to the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom, and the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom itself could provide them with protection, allowing them to better integrate into the world of the heavens.

These are all things to be discussed later; we must first respect the Demon of Reincarnation, since he is not dead yet.

In addition to the Colossus series of puppets, the puppeteers of the Divine Realm also created the Five Elements series of puppets (metal, wood, water, fire, earth) and the Magnetic Storm series of puppets, totaling four series of puppets that have never appeared in the mortal world before.

Together with the dragon riders, divine guards, shadow puppets, martial god puppets, and demon-suppressing puppets that Su Qing created, which relied on the resources of this world and the related inspirations he gained from this world, they formed a puppet army to fight against the Reincarnation Demon in the future.

During this process, Su Qing made significant progress in his understanding of puppets and his mastery of rune technology.

Not only did he gain new insights into runes such as mechanical runes and magnetic storm runes, but he also upgraded all the runes he already knew to the sixth tier.

This laid a solid foundation for him to break through to the sixth-level puppeteer, because the number of puppets he had refined in the past two or three hundred years was far more than the number of puppets that some fifth-level puppeteers had refined in ten thousand or one hundred thousand years.

His greatest opportunity to advance to the sixth-order puppeteer lay in the spiritual treasures of the True Lords of the Heavens.

It should be known that in the myriad realms, any sixth-tier spiritual treasure or object that appears will be fervently pursued by cultivators from all realms. Using an acquired spiritual treasure as a gimmick, a large-scale auction that is sought after by all realms can be organized in an instant. If an innate spiritual treasure is included in the auction, even the three major sects of the Dao lineage will participate in the competition.

Su Qing has been the ruler of the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom for one or two hundred years. During these one or two hundred years, his puppets have been sold all over the myriad worlds, but the major sects of the myriad worlds only settle accounts with him in spirit stones. It's not that spirit stones are bad; as the universal currency of the myriad worlds, spirit stones can theoretically buy anything.

Apart from acquired spiritual treasures and innate spiritual treasures that are ranked at the sixth rank or above.

This is something money can't buy.

If this were in any of the myriad realms, Su Qing wouldn't have this opportunity. He wouldn't have had sect treasures like the Primordial Sect or the Eastern King Sect to provide him with, allowing him to break them down and study the mysteries of the seventh-order runes within.

And it was precisely this fortuitous opportunity that allowed him to go from having no proficiency in sixth-tier puppets to mastering seventh-tier runes, starting from scratch.

Now, he has mastered twelve seventh-order runes, including Creation, Profound Yin, Pure Yang, Spirit Explosion, Magnetic Explosion, Mechanical, Space, Time, Material, Demon Suppression, and the three most important runes for fighting the Reincarnation Demon—Gathering Rune, Mighty Emperor Rune, and Reincarnation Rune.

The Gathering of Runes is derived from the Azure Dragon Dao Patterns of the Human Emperor. The Human Emperor's power lies in gathering the masses. One person's strength is weak, but the strength of ten thousand is mighty. Tens of thousands of people are not afraid of immortals, gods, demons, or monsters, and can become the overlord of all races.

The Majestic Emperor Rune is derived from all the Taixu Sun and Moon Dao Patterns of the Heavenly Emperor. The Heavenly Emperor's majesty can suppress the four directions of the universe even without moving, making countless demons and evil spirits dare not act rashly.

The Reincarnation Rune, needless to say, is derived from the Reincarnation Dao Pattern, symbolizing the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man. The power of the Earth Path, the destiny of reincarnation, the entanglement of cause and effect, sins and merits, right and wrong, are all verified and judged in each reincarnation. This is a power that transcends time and space, crosses races, and breaks the cycle of life and death.

In order to deal with the Reincarnation Demon who has mastered most of the Reincarnation Dao Patterns, by gathering the runes related to the three paths of Heaven, Earth and Man, and combining them with other runes such as the Demon Suppression Rune, he may have another trump card to deal with the Reincarnation Demon!
The puppets he wanted to create were, firstly, the True Martial Emperor, and secondly, the Human Emperor's Court.

Both were seventh-tier puppets, which should have been beyond his capabilities.

However, by utilizing the form of the Divine Realm and the beliefs of the beings in this realm, he wanted to give it a try. Whether he succeeded or not depended entirely on fate. (End of Chapter)
