Immortality begins with meditation puppets

The merging of the Divine Realm into the Celestial Origin Realm is a major event for all the heavens and myriad realms, and for the Celestial Origin Realm itself.

With this realm falling into Tianyuan, combined with the more than one million battle-tested puppeteers that Su Qing has already trained, the mature and systematic puppet industry, and especially its unique divine holy stones and numerous resources, it will undoubtedly have a profound impact on the current world's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or landscape), the situation in the fight against evil spirits, and the future struggle for supremacy among the heavens.

Of course, everyone also knows that with the return of this realm of gods and the entire Abyss exploration team to the mortal world, everyone also knows that Su Qing and the others have accomplished a series of great feats, such as annihilating the Reincarnation Demon, eliminating the hidden dangers of the Abyss Secret Realm, and reclaiming the Reincarnation Dao Patterns and the authority of the Ancient Underworld back into the hands of living beings!

When the great scales of heaven and earth weighed the gold, and in front of all the heavens and myriad realms and countless living beings, they bestowed generous rewards upon Su Qing and other meritorious individuals.

The great sects and countless cultivators across the heavens were all discussing this matter.

"It's done? I didn't expect that Su Qing would actually manage to do it. That kid is quite capable!"

"How dare you call him a brat! This is a meritorious person who has made great contributions to all the heavens and myriad realms and to all living beings. He is a strong contender for the Human Emperor and the universally recognized sect leader of my Taiyi Sect. How can you, an old scoundrel, call him a brat whenever you want!"

"Alright, alright, alright, I admit I misspoke, but it's not that I'm afraid of your Taiyi Sect. It's just that I respect the contributions that True Monarch Su has made to all the heavens and myriad realms, to all living beings!"

"With only a group of True Monarchs who are at most at the fifth level, he actually managed to break through the lair of a seventh-level demon and even managed to bring back a Divine Realm along the way. Su Qing did a great job. In comparison, we are quite disgraceful. In the battle for the Lingxiao Palace, we were taught a good lesson by the demons!"

"Let's not talk about that. Look at the disciples of my Styx Sect. They've gained quite a bit of merit. Their merit is almost equal to what I've accumulated over tens of thousands of years of subduing demons and monsters throughout the myriad realms. Heaven and earth have even bestowed upon each of them a wisp of innate blood-killing energy. Tsk tsk, these two disciples of my Styx Sect have certainly made a great contribution to this important matter!"

"The people sent out by my Yuanshi Sect are not bad either. I used to think that this young man, Guangxian, was too cautious about his own safety and not someone I could entrust with important tasks. But this time, it seems that he is decisive, capable, and has a strong will. He has demonstrated the responsibility of leading the Yuanshi Sect in this mission, working with other sects' True Monarchs to cooperate with Su Qing and making contributions second only to Su Qing. Otherwise, he would not have accumulated so much merit!"

"Stop vying for credit and trying to glorify your sect. Quickly recall all the disciples and ask them about their situation in the Abyss Secret Realm and the Divine Realm."

"Absolutely, absolutely! I am also very curious about how Su Qing managed to kill a seventh-order demon!"

"I'm more concerned about the Divine Spirit Stones in the Divine Realm. Now that this realm has fallen into the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom, I wonder how ruthlessly Su Qing will fleece us if we want these Divine Spirit Stones in the future!"

Overall, the major sects of all realms and the various immortal kingdoms of Tianyuan are still very much hoping to see Su Qing and his group return victorious.

Besides sending their own disciples to participate in the matter, Su Qing ate meat, and they were also allowed to drink soup.

Furthermore, their morale was greatly boosted by thwarting the evil's plot and winning a battle against the evil, especially when they had just suffered a crushing defeat in their competition with the evil and were feeling depressed and gloomy.

For countless people in the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom, the shock of seeing Su Qing build up a realm to the northern border of Tianyuan without even a word was beyond compare.

"Damn! What a huge territory! Damn! So many people! Damn! So many puppets! Damn! Damn! Damn!"

"No thief ever leaves empty-handed. True Lord Su is indeed a role model for us all. He went out for a trip and actually kidnapped an entire world!"

"Does anyone know the origin of this realm? I feel it must be a third the size of our Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom. After the revival of my Tianyuan Realm, the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom has continuously expanded its territory by absorbing the creation of several grotto heavens. If it can still be a third the size of this realm, then it must be one of the top 100 realms in the myriad worlds!"

"Who cares about their background? They will all be citizens of our Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom in the future, and they will strengthen the foundation of our Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom!"

"They don't look like a realm, but more like a giant puppet factory. Looking north, the sky and the ground are densely packed with puppets. How many are there?!"

"I'm planning to buy a house in the north. I've sensed an opportunity for soaring property prices there!"

Living in an era of revival for the Tianyuan Realm and welcoming guests from all realms, the people of the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom, aside from the initial shock at the addition of the Scripture God Realm, were simply excited and delighted.

Because this realm has joined the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom, empowering it, the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom is bound to usher in a new wave of development, and everyone here will likely benefit from it.

At this moment, Su Qing had no time to ponder the reactions of all the heavens and myriad realms to the Scripture God Realm, or the exchanges and integration between the original immortals of the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom and the people of the Scripture God Realm.

At this moment, half of his mind was focused on his puppet, and the other half on his own cultivation.

Fifth- and sixth-order puppets are also important, but with his current abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for him to create them.

What he was thinking about were the three seventh-tier puppets who played a decisive role in the operation to eliminate the Reincarnation Demon: the Eastern Peak Emperor, the Humanity Imperial Court, and the True Martial Emperor.

These three puppets were not ones he could currently create, but their abilities were unmatched by any other sixth-tier puppet.

He is not greedy; he is content as long as one side can be preserved.

With this seventh-tier puppet in hand, he would dare to raise his arms and call upon the heroes tomorrow to go to Wufo Mountain and destroy the Demon Buddha.

But God did not fulfill people's wishes.

With the death of the Demon of Reincarnation, the Eastern Peak Emperor collapsed without a word.

Su Qing could accept this, since he hadn't made the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc and the Ancestral Master's Token into puppets. He had only forcibly combined them using the Five Reincarnation Puppets. In addition, the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc, out of resentment for the Reincarnation Demon occupying his body for many years and committing evil deeds, actively cooperated, and it was only with this cooperation that they were barely condensed. As soon as the Reincarnation Demon was destroyed, the Five Reincarnation Puppets, the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc, and the Ancestral Master's Token instantly disintegrated, which was within his expectations.

The second collapse was that of Zhenwu Emperor.

The seventh-order puppet collapsed for two reasons. First, the will of the True Martial Demon-Slaying Heavenly Venerable, which formed the core of the puppet and replaced the effect of the eighth-order Dao patterns, was limited. It would dissipate into the world after exerting its power once, and was a disposable item. Second, the two strong people who formed the True Martial Dharma Body could not possibly be willing to be his puppet indefinitely. So it was over. A forced relationship is never sweet.

Su Qing could accept the collapse of the first two puppets.

He truly couldn't accept the collapse of the Humanitarian Imperial Court.

The components of this Human Dao Imperial Court are all the divine weapons and puppets he created in the Divine Realm over the past two or three hundred years. He drew combination runes on hundreds of millions of these puppets.

These puppets are still there and have not disappeared, so the foundation for this humane imperial court has not been lost.

Furthermore, because he possessed the Azure Dragon Dao Pattern of the Human Emperor, which served as the core of this puppet, his mastery of this Dao Pattern had increased significantly after the rewards and recognition of merits in this mortal world. He also gained much more related authority, so theoretically, his core power had become even stronger.

Finally, the Human Emperor gathered the strength of the masses, and he also brought back all the beings from the Divine Realm to the mortal world, who were now willing to serve under him. Thus, all the conditions for forming the Human Imperial Court were met, yet he was still unable to reassemble this seventh-order puppet.

Imagine you just bought a brand new car, and everything is perfect, but you just can't start it. Wouldn't that be incredibly frustrating?

After calming down and thinking about it for a while, I realized the key point.

There was nothing wrong with the situation; it was just that the occasion and timing were wrong.

Within the realm of gods, the reason why this Human Emperor Court was able to be established was that the beings of this realm were in a desperate situation of the realm collapsing and everything about to be destroyed. It was because of this that they were able to unleash a unified and vigorous belief, which enabled him to gather together with the power of the Human Emperor to empower the Human Emperor Court.

Now that they have survived a great calamity, they no longer have the same mindset as before. Their thoughts have become complicated. Some want to see this new world and experience the wonders of the myriad realms. Some have suppressed their feelings for many years and want to propose to their sweethearts on the spot. Some want to live out the rest of their lives in peace and tranquility, never again to live in fear and anxiety.

In short, people's hearts are scattered, and they can't be brought together!

"But the experience of building the Humanitarian Imperial Court is still in my mind. I can draw a combination of runes for all the puppets that will be refined in the future in this Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom, and even for all the puppets that the Su Group sells to the myriad worlds."

"When the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom faces a desperate situation, or even when all the heavens and myriad realms face a desperate situation, I will still be able to reunite the Humanity Imperial Court. And at that time, the Humanity Imperial Court will be far more than just a seventh-tier power!"

Setting aside his minor regrets about the puppet, he focused his attention on himself.

Before that, he needed to get rid of the various Heavenly Lords who had been adventuring with him.

With the death of the Reincarnation Demon, that abyss secret realm could no longer resist the attraction of the Heavenly Origin Realm and merged into the Heavenly Origin Realm even earlier than the Divine Realm.

Combined with the majority of the reincarnation Dao patterns he had refused to use, a great change occurred in the Tianyuan Realm. However, many places that temporarily absorbed and housed the dead and wronged souls, such as the Western Sea Ruins and the Northern Heavenly Tower, were all illuminated by a ball of light and shadow, and then all sank deep underground and disappeared from the sight of living beings.

Through the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Su Qing learned that the Yuan Realm was instinctively using the Reincarnation Dao Patterns to reopen the Nine Netherworld underground.

With the Abyss Secret Realm, the Western Sea Ruins, and the Northern Tower of Heaven as its core, it should be able to condense the prototype of the Underworld and temporarily perform some of the duties of the ancient Underworld.

This is not a long-term solution. We need to wait until someone in the present world masters the Reincarnation Dao Patterns, and then invite the master of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc, along with other forces that control the Five Reincarnation Puppets, to work together before we can reopen the tunnels and rebuild the ancient underworld.

This is not something that can be accomplished overnight, just as the Humanity Imperial Court and the Lingxiao Palace could not be rebuilt in a day or two.

During this period, we still need to continue fighting against evil spirits, and we also need to go through the checks and balances and competition among all the heavens and myriad realms, and work together, before it is possible to realize the magnificent scene of the ancient times when the three paths of heaven, earth and man coexisted.

As agreed beforehand, he revoked the authority of the Five Reincarnation Puppets and returned them to the True Lords of the Styx Sect and the Reincarnation Sect.

These True Lords were overjoyed and spared no effort in spreading Su Qing's fame throughout the myriad realms.

"Good Lord Zhenjun, your word is as good as nails. You said you would help us refine puppets, and you refined sixth-order puppets. You said you would borrow the puppets temporarily, and you only borrowed them for a while. After using the puppets for a while, you helped us gain merit, and then you returned them to us intact!"

"Which puppet-making school in the heavens is the best? Look no further than Su Qing in the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom. Su family puppets are honest and reliable, young and old alike. You might not get a bargain, but you definitely won't be fooled!"

"No doubt about it. All future puppet orders from my Styx Sect will be placed with your Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom. We trust True Lord Su to handle things!"

The True Monarchs sent out by the five sects were indeed happy, because these five Reincarnation Puppets had also gained great merit in the battle to kill the Reincarnation Demon, and had more Reincarnation Dao Patterns added to their bodies. According to Su Qing, there was a possibility that they could reforge seventh-order puppets in the future.

Most importantly, with these five reincarnation puppets around, when the underground underworld is rebuilt in the future, these five sects will still have original shares, and their shares will be even larger than before.

"True Lord Su, you don't need to return this Ancestral Master Token to me. Please keep it for now and take the trouble to help our Wuzhuang Temple refine a Reincarnation Puppet!"

Qingfeng Zhenjun was extremely envious and pushed the ancestral token that Su Qing had handed over back into his hand.

"This...this isn't appropriate. After all, this is your ancestor's memorial tablet. Wouldn't using it to create puppets be disrespectful to him?" Su Qing wasn't keen on taking the job and politely declined.

"Our ancestor was the most unconcerned with trivial matters, so there's no need to worry about it. Su Zhenjun, you can refine with peace of mind. If you're still concerned, then I, a disciple of Wuzhuang Temple, can summon the spirit of our ancestor to speak to you personally."

"No need for that. I'll take the job. But what about the payment?"

"The reward is negotiable. As long as you, True Lord Su, succeed in refining it, my Wuzhuang Temple will also have an ancient ginseng fruit. I'm sure you, True Lord Su, are already aware of the wonders of this treasure..."

After finalizing a business deal with Qingfeng Zhenjun, I noticed that more and more people were gathering around me.

But they all wanted to do business with him.

These people had all traveled with him to the Divine Realm, and they knew his current skill in crafting puppets. They also knew how much energy the puppeteers and puppet industry in the Divine Realm could unleash.

Su Qing was currently preoccupied with a lot of things and didn't have the energy to deal with these matters for the time being. She simply waved her hand and instructed Qinghe and Hongshang, who had been staying in Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom, to take charge of liaising with these True Lords.

Then, he flashed back to his own cultivation room.

As he returned to the mortal world, his divine consciousness surged out from the body of the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon and returned to his original physical body.

He then felt his physical body stirring and his primordial spirit restless.

However, the physical body and the primordial spirit gained tremendous benefits in this creation, and had the possibility of taking another step forward.

"It seems that it is not only the improvement of divine consciousness that nourishes the physical body and primordial spirit, but also the merit and creation bestowed by heaven and earth."

It seems there are also boxing dolls and meditation dolls, silently contributing to my boxing and meditation practices all these years since I left this world.

For the past two or three hundred years, though I have been absent, the puppets have never stopped! (End of Chapter)
