Immortality begins with meditation puppets

The celestial primordial energy is restored, and creation returns to its original state.

Not only will a number of blessed lands be born within the Tianyuan Realm, such as the ancient Buzhou Mountain, Mount Sumeru and other immortal mountains and divine peaks, as well as the Huolin Cave Heaven, Pengxuan Cave Heaven, Xuling Cave Heaven, Xuande Cave Heaven and other blessed lands, Gaizhu Mountain, Danxia Mountain, Lingxu, Wozhou, Xiaoyao Mountain and other blessed lands, all of which will be reborn within the Tianyuan Realm.

The many fragments that fell from the ancient demonic calamity of Tianyuan Realm to the myriad realms, as well as the treasure mountains and blessed lands brought into the myriad realms by the great sects of the heavens, will all return to Tianyuan Realm. For example, the East Kunlun Mountain of Kunlun Realm, the West Kunlun Mountain of Zifu Realm, and Jin'ao Island of Shangqing Realm, these immortal mountains and blessed lands that originally belonged to Tianyuan Realm, will all return to Tianyuan Realm.

These treasures and valuables were divided up in ancient times by powerful deities through countless battles and exchanges of interests. Now, after the ancient demonic calamity, the spoils have been reshuffled. Given the selfish nature of living beings, it is inevitable that they will still fight and vie for them.

"Seventy-two grotto-heavens and thirty-six blessed lands. According to the creation of the ancient Tianyuan Realm, these grotto-heavens and blessed lands can only accommodate these. Now we all know that Su Tianjun has already opened up three great grotto-heavens in the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom: Qinglong, Jiuli, and Xingtian. If the heavens and earth allow him to open up two more grotto-heavens, then five of the seventy-two grotto-heavens will be gone, leaving sixty-seven grotto-heavens. As for blessed lands, sixteen blessed lands have already been created, including the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom, Xingsha Divine Kingdom, Penglai Immortal Island, Langya Immortal Island, and Xianqin Martial Kingdom, leaving only about twenty blessed lands. These grotto-heavens and blessed lands are the focus of our discussion and allocation!"

As soon as Guangxian Zhenjun finished speaking, someone below raised a question.

"This isn't right. The seventy-two grotto-heavens and thirty-six blessed lands are certainly excellent and wonderful, and everyone wants to possess them. But above the grotto-heavens and blessed lands, there are also the pillars supporting the sky, the roots of the earth, Mount Buzhou which gathers three-tenths of the creation of heaven and earth, the two Kunlun Mountains in the east and west, Mount Sumeru, and the outer heavens such as Tai Xuan Heaven and Tu Shuai Heaven. These are all creations that are even greater than the grotto-heavens and blessed lands. Why not participate in the distribution discussion!"

The speaker was a cultivator from the Tianyuan Realm, who came from a Nascent Soul sect in the Southern Border.

Like most of the cultivators present, Su Qing thought to himself the moment he opened his mouth, "This person is so brave, how dare he say such things?" But after learning about his background, he understood that he was just a reckless fool. He probably didn't even understand the consequences of his words!
However, since he had already said that after Guangxian Zhenjun exchanged glances with Su Qing, Sanyang Zhenjun, and Gule Tianzun, he then, as the group had agreed, spoke without any pretense:

“Since ancient times, my Yuanshi Sect has been cultivating in the East Kunlun Mountains. The Dongwang Sect has inherited the lineage of the scattered immortals and has the legacy of the East King and the West Mother. It is also worthy to enjoy the creation of the West Kunlun Mountains. The Jin'ao Island is also the location of the Lingbao Sect’s lineage. The Doushuai Heaven was created by the founder of the Taishang Sect. These immortal mountains and divine peaks, the Daluo Xuantian, all have owners. Moreover, since everyone’s lineage has not been destroyed, they naturally belong to their respective families.”

As for Mount Buzhou, it has not yet been created in the Yuan Realm, and no one knows where it is located. However, we all know that in ancient times, Mount Buzhou was the territory of the Wu tribe.

Although this race is not prominent in the heavens now, everyone knows why. It is because in ancient times, they burned everything for the sake of all the heavens and myriad worlds, for all living beings. Heaven and earth must repay them.

Therefore, we discussed with Lord Su Tianjun that no matter where Mount Buzhou falls, the Wu tribe can obtain 30% of its fortune, and the remaining 70% can be distributed among others.

Similar to the treatment of Buzhou Mountain, the four seas and the heavens, which are already gestating and creating, will be divided among the three seas except for the Western Sea, which has been managed by human cultivators for a long time and is difficult to distribute. The other three seas will be given to the dragon race, which made great contributions to my Tianyuan Realm and all the worlds in ancient times. Of course, it is the Golden Dragon, Azure Dragon, and Heavenly Dragon, not the Cloud Dragon, Water Dragon, Earth Dragon, etc.

Oh, speaking of this, the Azure Dragon King proposed a motion to remove the Cloud Dragon, Water Dragon, Earth Dragon, Evil Dragon, and Bone Dragon from the Dragon Clan. We have already passed it. From this day forward, these four types of dragons will be stripped of their dragon status and classified as demons. Their status within the demon clan will be the same as that of demon beasts. They are considered sinful demons, and this is a punishment for their betrayal of the Heavenly Origin Realm in ancient times.

Furthermore, the Immortal Volcano and the Five Virtues Qilin Mountain, these two sacred mountains, if they were to be born, would belong to the Phoenix Clan and the Qilin Clan. Since no Qilin Clan has ever emerged, there is a Winged Tiger Clan of the demon race who claims to possess some Qilin blood. After our examination, we have determined that they are half a Qilin, and they should inherit the ancient Qilin's destiny.

After Guangxian Zhenjun finished speaking, the room fell silent, and no one dared to raise any objections.

Everyone understood that before the proposal was put forward, it had already been passed around among the powerful figures in the various sects and Su Qing, who were in charge of making strategic decisions. They reached a consensus that they would only dare to oppose it if they were courting death, and they were not as ignorant and stubborn as that Nascent Soul cultivator from the Southern Border.

Of course, in private, the various sects and cultivators still couldn't help but curse and grumble using their divine senses.

"All crows under heaven are black, and cultivators throughout history are no different. The best things in Kunlun, Buzhou, and other places are the private property of those powerful sects and experts. They will never give us a chance to compete for them!"

"It's one thing that they've already taken all the good stuff from the audience, but now they're leaving the soup and broth on the table. Does that mean they want to take it from us?"

"Nonsense! In their eyes, what's distributed offstage is what they already have, while what's onstage is what they're fighting for. How could they not grab it!"

"Why doesn't Su Qing do anything about it? We used to rely on him to help us fight off those powerful sects!"

"He's a scoundrel too. He's ruthless in this matter as well. The shamans have recognized him as their master. What a huge piece of meat is that thirty percent of the fortune of Buzhou Mountain? The major sects of the heavens are using this to shut him up. What can he say?"

What the cultivators said was absolutely correct.

The reason Su Qing didn't interfere in this matter was that he had already received enough benefits and didn't want to interfere with the major sects of the heavens anymore.

Because these great sects of the heavens can occupy those sacred mountains and divine peaks, everyone can't find any reason to complain except for envy and jealousy.

The Yuanshi Sect of East Kunlun has occupied this position ever since, from ancient times to the present day. No one has tried to seize it or take it from it. Is it because they don't want to? Or is it because they don't have the ability?
If the Yuanshi Sect is forced to hand over this mountain for distribution, the Anti-Demon Alliance will immediately fall apart. The three major sects of the Dao lineage and the great sects of the heavens will not play with you anymore. Who will you turn to?

Ultimately, it all comes down to the principle of strength above all else and the law of the jungle.

Within this framework, it's already quite good that we can secure some benefits for races like the Witch Clan and the Dragon Clan, who contributed greatly in ancient times but suffered heavy losses.

Su Qing understood this principle, and so did the various sects and forces that had been mingling in the myriad realms for a long time.

Right now, they haven't bothered with True Lord Guangxian about the things that were already decided in advance; they're only focused on vying for the blessed lands and grottoes that they can participate in allocating.

The first to step forward and compete was a fourth-level Confucian scholar from the Immortal Qin Martial Kingdom. Eloquent speech was his forte, and confusing right and wrong was his specialty. As soon as he opened his mouth, he ignited the atmosphere present.

"Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism are the three great traditions of the world. The creation of the world should be divided into three parts, with each of the three taking one. My Immortal Qin Wu Kingdom, as the birthplace of Confucianism and Taoism, has more than twenty grotto-heavens and more than ten blessed lands. This is not excessive at all, is it? If not, we can suffer some losses. We only need eight grotto-heavens and five blessed lands!"

"I'll slap you to death, you shameless old bastard! Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism? Who decided that? You did! Confucianism and Taoism are the lowest of the low in the cultivation arts. With that kind of status, you don't even have the right to speak. On the other hand, my Demonic Path is a tough and powerful path that truly fought the Xuanmen to a standstill in ancient times. In my opinion, my Demonic Path should have six or seven grotto-heavens and three or five blessed lands!"

"You two are making me laugh. One is a third-rate lineage, the other a heritage swept into the sewers in ancient times, and you dare to demand several blessed lands? Heaven and earth owe you something, but heaven and earth do owe our demon race. Back then, the ancient Heavenly Court was the main force against evil demons, and our demon race was the main force of the ancient Heavenly Court. We made contributions to heaven and earth in ancient times and shed blood for all living beings. We should at least be compensated with a few blessed lands. Even the witch race received compensation, so we can't be unfair to each other!" "My Xuanyuan Immortal Kingdom is the homeland of the Human Emperor. We should inherit the Human Emperor's blessings and should receive a portion of the blessed lands. If you receive less, then you are disrespecting the Human Emperor!"

"Bullshit! My Immortal Qin Wu Kingdom is the true and legitimate successor to the Human Emperor!"

"Let me say a few words. My Xing Sha Divine Kingdom made great contributions in the last battle against the evil spirits!"

"You, a mere evil spirit, have the right to speak!"

"Hey, how dare you talk like that? Who gave you the nerve to call me an evil spirit? I, Erqiang, haven't investigated your sect before, have I? You just wait, I'll keep a close eye on you when I get back!"

The venue was noisy and bustling. The Void Queen was amazed. She had no interest in the blessed lands, because if they fell into the hands of the Void Clan, they would just be eaten. It was these cultivators who could use these blessed lands to raise many delicious things and give them the best use of these blessed lands.

"These fellow cultivators are all like this. They come from humble backgrounds and have limited vision. They argue until they're red in the face over the smallest gains, disregarding all the dignity of cultivators. It's quite a laughing stock for you!"

Ambitious and determined to win over the Empress, Su Qing, who still harbors a secret desire for the Void Clan, makes sure to strike up a conversation with the Empress and cultivate a warm relationship.

"Doesn't Su Tianjun want those blessed lands and grotto-heavens?" Although the Void Queen didn't care about blessed lands and grotto-heavens, she knew how important they were to cultivators. Seeing that Su Qing, who was enjoying the aroma, still had time to chat with her, she couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Your Majesty, you may not know this, but my eldest son is the richest man in all the heavens. He already has five or six grotto-heavens, the blessed land of Guangkaiyuan Immortal Kingdom, and two in the Divine Realm. He also has 30% of the fortune of Buzhou Mountain. It is said to be from the Wu Clan, but isn't that my eldest son's? With so many good things, he naturally has no need to compete with these people below for such petty gains!"

Li Hailang stepped forward and told the Void Queen what Su Qing was too embarrassed to say, but which he himself really wanted to say.

It worked wonders; the Queen's eyes lit up considerably when she looked at him.

"So, you're very rich and have plenty of food?"

"Well, there are hundreds of billions of immortals eating under my command right now. Let me put it this way, the amount they eat and use every day is less than what I earn. I won't go broke from eating them, I simply won't go broke from eating them!"

Su Qing knew the habits of the Void Clan; they were just big eaters. If he couldn't even meet the simple requirement of providing food when hiring them as henchmen, that would be too demanding. He provided food and lodging for his subordinates, the Black Boys!
At this moment, the Void Queen looked at Su Qing with a completely different gaze than before.

He won't go broke from eating.

She couldn't get enough to eat.

It couldn't be more perfect!

Su Qing also sensed the change in her attitude and was preparing to strike while the iron was hot to win her over.

Xiong Er, standing beside him, rolled up his sleeves and joined the battle.

"If I don't speak, you'll think that Buddhism has no one left. Speaking of sacrifice, in ancient times, all the Buddhas of Mount Ling perished, truly used by the burning of heaven and earth. Speaking of inheritance, Buddhism and Taoism are originally one family, both are orthodox sects of the Xuanmen. Mount Sumeru was also in the hands of Buddhism in ancient times. Speaking of contributions, in recent years, haven't the evil spirits in the Tianyuan Realm been collected and exorcised by Buddhist monks everywhere?"

"In any case, this blessed land cannot be without Buddhism, and I, of orthodox Buddhist lineage, have attained the golden body of Buddha. The ancient Buddhas and Bodhisattvas entrusted their faith and beliefs to me, entrusting me with the important responsibility of speaking out for all Buddhist cultivators. If you dare not grant me this blessed land, I, the Buddha, will be displeased, and if I am displeased, then the entire Buddhist community will be displeased!"

Xiong Er revealed his true form as Buddha and joined the battle. Someone tried to attack Xiong Er's puppet origins, just like he had done with Er Qiang, but was quickly silenced.

Since one must consider the master before insulting Xiong, and his master Su Qing is far more powerful than Er Qiang, and Xiong Er has been preaching and expounding the Dharma for various major Buddhist sects for many years, his status among Buddhist cultivators is unmatched, insulting him would incur the wrath of countless bald monks, these great monks are not magnanimous, and one must not offend them.

After Xiong Er left the stage, Su Qing could not ignore it. She released Bi Lian to use her expertise to help Xiong Er speak eloquently and debate with the crowd.

Suddenly I thought of Qinghe. This girl is not here today. Otherwise, if I released her, she might be able to represent the spirits and monsters in vying for a piece of blessed land.

Huh? Speaking of Qinghe, where did she go? It seems she was assigned to do something extremely important.

After that trip to the Abyss Secret Realm, I was so caught up in the cycle of reincarnation by that demon that my concept of time became blurred. After returning, I had a million things to deal with, and I didn't even think about that woman.

Suddenly remembering her, Su Qing recalled the task he had arranged for her to do.

Before heading to the Abyss Secret Realm, he and Tong Chang joined forces to calculate the secrets of heaven. They didn't figure out exactly what the Demon Buddha wanted to find out, but they did find out some other things.

For example, the sea cave that has trapped the tomb raiding heroes Feng Bo'e for hundreds of years, and the Three Altars Sea God Temple where the Hai family's ancestral tomb is located, also holds a great destiny.

That fortune was known only to him and Tong Chang for the time being, and Qinghe, being a lotus spirit, had the best chance of possessing it. That's why he took a chance and let Qinghe accept the task of rescuing Feng Bo'e, digging up the Hai family's ancestral graves, and trying to receive the great god's fortune.

"So, Qinghe has been in that sea cave for four or five hundred years?" (End of Chapter)
