Immortality begins with meditation puppets

A sixth-level body cultivator possesses a physical body capable of shaking heaven and earth, traversing the void, and being unrestrained by all realms and laws.

Su Qing's resources for advancing to the sixth level of body cultivation far exceeded those of ordinary people, so his breakthrough phenomenon could be described as earth-shattering, attracting countless gazes from all the heavens and myriad realms to the Tianyuan Realm.

"The Ancestral Dragon Bone? Wasn't it said that Su Qing's aptitude wasn't ideal at the beginning of his cultivation, and he didn't achieve much in either physical or magical cultivation, so he took a different path and switched to puppetry, trying to overtake others through this shortcut? Can you say that his aptitude is bad with the Ancestral Dragon Bone?"

"Innate Dao Body, Chaos Saint Body, Golden Crow Treasure Body, Yin Yang Dharma Body... Among the top-tier physical constitutions known throughout the myriad realms, this Ancestral Dragon Bone can also be considered one of them. It's not that Su Qing's physical constitution is inferior; it's that his physical constitution is exceptionally unique!"

"Ah, no, why are you all focusing on his physique? He's broken through to the sixth level of body cultivation. It's only been three or four hundred years since he last broke through to the fifth level. I don't even have that much time in seclusion. He's still fighting demons in the Abyss Secret Realm and the Divine Realm. How did he train like that?"

"This is unreasonable. There must be something fishy going on. Did Heaven and Earth give him some extra benefits? He spent hundreds of years in the Divine Realm without even a physical body. How could he cultivate and improve with a physical body? I can't believe it if Heaven and Earth didn't give him extra benefits!"

"Originally, we only thought this kid was remarkable in the art of puppetry, but now it seems that his potential in body cultivation should not be underestimated. With the Ancestral Dragon Bone, it is almost a certainty that he will become a seventh-level body cultivator. In fact, there is even a slight possibility that he will become an eighth-level Dao Ancestor!"

"But he is, after all, a human. Why are the dragons so happy that he possesses the bones of the ancestral dragon? He wants to compete for the title of Human Emperor, not Dragon Emperor!"

The sixth-order body cultivator caused a sensation, sparking widespread discussion throughout the myriad realms and the Tianyuan Realm.

Like the Azure Dragon King, the dragons of the heavens were able to adjust their mindset immediately after their initial astonishment. Although Su Qing looked like a human, the ancestral dragon bones on his body were undeniable and had an inexplicable relationship with their dragon race.

Just as they were thinking this, they suddenly saw an ancient, wild and untamed aura rising again within the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom. At the same time, the phantom of an ancestral witch, standing firmly on the ground yet seemingly able to support the heavens and earth, with a vigorous and earth-shaking power, reappeared in the world.

The moment this phantom appeared, it landed in the witch tribe within the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom, and instantly a group of witches emerged.

These witch tribes all gathered in the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom from various parts of Tianyuan. Although they still live in the witch tribe's special area in the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom in the form of tribes, they often come into contact with humans and have gradually integrated with them. It is common for humans to come to their witch tribe area to experience witch life, only to be ripped off by them. Then, the humans would take the money they had ripped off to the human commercial area and be ripped off again by the humans.

Having lived in the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom for hundreds of years, these witch clans had developed a certain sense of belonging to this immortal kingdom. As for Su Qing, because he opened up the Jiuli and Xingtian cave heavens and wielded the witch clan's sacred weapon, the Xingtian Blood Axe, they had long recognized him as the witch clan's holy master.

Like the dragons, they also believed that Su Qing was just a member of the Witch Clan in human skin, and that he was the destined one to lead their Witch Clan to rise again among the powerful races of the myriad worlds.

Nothing that proved his identity as a holy master of the witch clan in the past is as convincing as what I see today.

After all, before Su Qing appeared, the Witch Clan did not have the title of Saint Master. It was just that Yao Fei did not know how to explain the relationship between Su Qing and the Witch Clan to them, so she just gave him the title of Saint Master.

Now, when Yao Fei saw the illusory image of the Ancestral Witch, who reigned supreme above all under heaven, she suddenly realized that her sudden inspiration back then might have been the mysterious guidance of the spirits of the Witch Clan.

"Yao Fei, a sorceress of the Jiuli tribe, pays respects to our holy master!"

It wasn't just Yao Fei who was like this, nor was it just the witches in the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom. In various parts of Tianyuan, in some ancient mountain tribes that did not believe in humans and were not attracted by the Jiuli or Xingtian Cave, witches could not suppress their excitement and instinctively prostrated themselves on the ground.

The phantom that Su Qing is showing at this moment is the ancestral witch of the witch clan who disappeared from the world for countless years!

It wasn't just one, because the illusory image of the Ancestral Witch kept changing, successively transforming into the appearances and expressions of the twelve Ancestral Witches of the Witch Clan, and also displaying the aura of each Ancestral Witch that was exactly the same as their appearances and forms!

The most shocked by this was naturally the Witch Clan, and besides the Witch Clan, there was the Dragon Clan.

The Azure Dragon King was shocked. "This...this can't be! Even if that dragon prodigy had a child with a human, I could accept it. But for a dragon, a human, and a witch to have Su Qing together seems a bit far-fetched!"

Fortunately, it had lived long enough, and given the chaotic state of the dragon race itself, it quickly came up with another possibility.

"Perhaps it was a union between a dragon and a sorcerer that brought together the bloodlines of the three races? Or perhaps it was a union between a human and a dragon sorcerer, and a union between a sorcerer and a dragon. In any case, the current social atmosphere is open, and everyone is under so much pressure that exchanges between people are common. It's quite normal for someone like Su Qing, a hybrid of the three races, to emerge!"

While the Azure Dragon King accepted the facts, many human cultivators in the myriad realms and the Tianyuan Realm could not comprehend them.

"It's not the Ancestral Dragon Tendon, it's the Ancestral Dragon Tendon and the Ancestral Witch Bone. They're all from the 'Ancestral' generation, and they were once powerful clans that almost ruled the Tianyuan Realm!"

"The Ancestral Dragon and the Ancestral Witch were both renowned for their formidable physical strength in ancient times. Possessing the fortune of either one of these would grant limitless potential in the path of physical cultivation. It is truly unimaginable that someone could possess both the Ancestral Dragon's tendons and the Ancestral Witch's bones at the same time!"

"Place your bets! Place your bets big! Su Qing's stock is soaring! My Peach Blossom Sect is going all in!"

"Tsk tsk, you're too late to the game now. Our Taiyi Sect and Snail Emperor Sect have long been in the same boat as Sect Master Su!"

No one can ignore the influence of the Ancestral Dragon Tendon and the Ancestral Witch Bone, because these are innate great gods who proved themselves in ancient times. They are only one step away from the eighth-order Dao Ancestor, the theoretical pinnacle of all heavens. Although they are also seventh-order, they are completely different from the seventh-order Dao Lords of all heavens now.

To put it in a more fashionable way, the Ancestral Witches and Ancestral Dragons, as well as the Eastern King Sect's Eastern Duke and Western Mother, are half-step Dao Ancestor level beings. Great Sage Wukong, Erlang Shen, and True Martial Emperor are all seventh-order Dao Lords at the Great Perfection. The current seventh-order Dao Lords are just the bottom of the seventh-order beings.

In theory, even the ancient emperors and celestial emperors who possessed the power of the eighth rank were only half-step Dao Ancestors in terms of cultivation and strength. It was only because of the power they held that they could manifest the power of the eighth rank. Their personal strength was only about the same as that of the Ancestral Dragon and the Ancestral Witch.

Su Qing possesses two of these innate divine qualities, which is truly astonishing.

But then everyone immediately considered another problem.

"No way! This Asu is both a dragon and a witch, does he even want to be human?!"

Within the Kaiyuan Immortal Realm, Shao Delong, while delighted to see his brother's success, also discovered a major problem.

His brother, Asu, is vying to become the current Human Emperor.

Shao Delong had been secretly plotting to seize his father-in-law's wealth, providing him with armor, resources, and all the support he needed, whether he wanted it or not. He wanted to become a loyal subject of the emperor, hoping to rise to power when Shao Delong ascended the throne.

Now he's moving towards dragons and witches, but he just won't develop in the direction of humans. What's going on here?

To compete for the title of Human Emperor, you must first be a person, a pure human being. This isn't meant to be disrespectful to the Ancestral Dragon or the Ancestral Witch; when Shao Delong's parents named him, they intended for him to be like a dragon or a phoenix, but rather, to be a dragon among men, not a dragon among men—his bloodline couldn't be mixed up!

"This is indeed a problem, but it's easy to solve. Haven't those witches already merged with our human race? They are now practically part of our human race. As for the dragons, they can also merge with our human race. As long as we give them a sense of identity and make them part of the human race as well, with the support of these witches and the dragons, Su Qing will have an even better chance of competing for the position of Human Emperor!"

Liang Haishun patted Delong on the shoulder, telling him not to worry.

At this moment, Su Qing didn't think too much about it.

They only manifest the dragon tendons and witch bones in the world, and then devour the creation of heaven and earth to strengthen their tendons and bones.

He then opened his inner inner world, manifesting it in the present world, and like all other newly advanced sixth-level body cultivators, he strengthened the imprint of his body's cultivation fruit in the heavens.

But at that very moment, all beings in the myriad realms, past and future, countless times and spaces, felt a surge of high spirits, as if they had been given a shot of adrenaline. A sense of passion, struggle, and an indomitable will, such as "My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens," "Don't underestimate a young man's potential," and "I consider a powerful man of the past as mere dirt," flooded their consciousness and uplifted their spirits.

This was the manifestation of the power of the Fearless Dao Fruit, and it was also the part of Su Qing's advancement to the sixth rank that least surprised the great virtuous and powerful beings of all the heavens and myriad realms.

It's not that his Dao Fruit effect is weak; in fact, among sixth-order body cultivators, very few have Dao Fruit imprints as strong as his.

Everyone can understand his strength.

He just defeated the Reincarnation Demon, who was at the fifth or sixth level of cultivation and had mastered most of the Reincarnation Dao Patterns, with only a fifth or sixth level of cultivation. Everyone has to admit that he is fearless and strong, stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat. He is too stubborn and too fearless. He deserves this Dao Fruit.

The great cultivators of the heavens were puzzled as to why Su Qing did not take this opportunity to release the creatures he was nurturing in his cave.

It should be noted that during the promotion, the Heaven and Earth Society generously bestows blessings, which can be regarded as a starting support for the newly formed inner world of body cultivators.

Normally, all body cultivators would summon all the creatures in their inner world to absorb this creation, so that they could grow up faster.

Given Su Qing's shrewd and opportunistic nature, she would never miss out on such a free benefit.

However, none of the great cultivators and powerful beings in the myriad realms saw him release a single living being from his inner world.

"He must be hiding something. Who knows what kind of existence this kid has nurtured within his inner world? He won't even let anyone see it!"

"He's already released the dragon tendons and witch bones; what kind of fortune must the creatures hidden within that inner world possess?"

"Could it be that a true dragon-like great witch was conceived inside? That can't be that outrageous!"

"It's hard to say. I can only say that it will definitely be extraordinary!"

According to the speculations of all the great sages and powerful beings, Su Qing has already completed the entire process of advancing to the sixth rank.

The moment all creation returned to his physical body, he felt a surge of vitality throughout his body, as if a single breath could bring withered trees back to life and make grass sprout.

It is merely one of the hallmarks of a sixth-order body cultivator, instinctively plundering external resources into the body, and being able to boost infinite vitality with every breath.

He couldn't waste this breath on his own world, so he held it back and exhaled it back into his own world. He made up his mind that from now on, he would inhale in his own world and exhale in his own inner world, so that his own world wouldn't gain any advantage, and his inner world wouldn't gain any less advantage either.

He planned to save the other benefits after his physical body advanced to the sixth level for later.

Right now, his primordial spirit is still waiting to advance to the Void Refinement stage.

Refining the Void, fusing with the Dao, and uniting with the Dao are known as the three realms of uniting with the Dao. These are also the theoretical limits of the Dao that cultivators in the heavens can reach. It can be said that once one enters the realm of refining the Void, one can go from being a pawn to a player.

Refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, entrusting the primordial spirit to all the heavens and myriad realms, any place in the past or future with spiritual power and magic, a place that gives birth to creation, can manifest the ability to manifest in all the heavens and myriad realms. As the saying goes, with a thought, the spirit manifests in all the worlds and time.

This is completely different from the ability of physical cultivators to advance to the sixth level and travel through the past, future, and all the void with their powerful physical bodies; they are two entirely different paths.

This is also the essential difference between physical cultivation and Dharma cultivation.

All the merits and achievements of physical cultivation belong to oneself, and one can seize the creations of heaven and earth for one's own use.

All the merits and achievements of cultivation reside in Heaven and Earth. The difference in cultivation level lies only in the ability to mobilize Heaven and Earth and the methods and means by which they utilize Heaven and Earth differ in quality.

He had only recently been promoted to the Divine Transformation True Lord.

Just as his boxing dolls helped him temper his physical body, during the three or four hundred years he spent defeating the Reincarnation Demon, his meditation dolls also tirelessly nurtured his magical power.

As long-time employees who have followed him, the meditation dolls are not only grateful to the boxing dolls and work hard without complaint, but more importantly, they have no expectations of a life of leisure and relaxation in the future.

They felt that diligently meditating and cultivating themselves for their master was already the happiest job in the world.

At least when they are working, their master provides them with spirit stones to meditate on. If their master doesn't provide them with spirit stones, they would have to find a way to earn them to cultivate for their master, which would be truly miserable.

The contented and satisfied meditation dolls, after three or four hundred years of cultivation, have accumulated more than three thousand years of spiritual power for him.

Furthermore, Su Qing's spiritual root aptitude is just like that of a body cultivator—it's so strong that it's the envy of everyone. Three thousand years of cultivation, if it were in someone else's body, might not be enough to advance them from a Nascent Soul True Monarch to a Void Refining Great Power. But in Su Qing's body, not only could he advance, he even overdid it! (End of Chapter)
