Immortality begins with meditation puppets

"The spiritual energy in the Tianyuan Realm is fluctuating abnormally, and the heavenly secrets are in disarray. A major event that will affect all the heavens and myriad realms is about to occur. Quickly pinpoint the location!"

"Location has been determined in the Western Sea of ​​Tianyuan, and specifically on the Tianyuan cultivator Su Qing!"

"Su Qing? What is he planning to do? What is he doing? And what is he holding in his hand!"

With the revival of Tianyuan and the return of the First Realm of All Heavens, just as in ancient times, even the slightest disturbance in the Tianyuan Realm can cause unrest throughout the myriad realms.

The moment they realized that something big was happening in the Tianyuan Realm, the patriarchs and elders of all the major sects in the myriad realms were awakened from their seclusion, and the ancestors of all the major cultivation families were put to rest.

They are all sixth-order Void Refinement cultivators and seventh-order Dao Lords. There are very few major events that can make their Dao hearts tremble, but once they happen, they are all major events no less significant than the Demon Buddha's plot to seize the Lingxiao Palace.

It is the Demon Buddha who appears in all the heavens with the Dharma body of the Heavenly Emperor, thus starting another demonic calamity.

Or perhaps the Great Sage Who Overturned the Seas took a wrong turn, lost his way, and chose to embark on a perilous path that went against the will of all beings in the myriad realms and colluded with evil.

Or perhaps it is that ancient, dormant demon that has been resurrected in the present world, wanting to make all living beings in the world relive the terror of that time.
While the powerful cultivators were filled with doubt and uncertainty, they deduced the secrets of heaven and saw only Su Qing with a bow drawn and an arrow nocked on the surface of the West Sea of ​​the Tianyuan Realm!
"The Xuanyuan Bow? The Xuanyuan Bow, one of the Three Treasures of Humanity, has appeared? Such a momentous event, and we were kept in the dark? Is it a divine artifact concealing itself, or is the Heavenly Origin Realm deliberately covering it up?"

"No, it seems that the workings of Heaven, Earth, and Man are concealing the aura of the supreme treasures related to the human path from us cultivators. Alas, back then, the Human Emperor had some prejudice against us cultivators, saying that although we appear to be human, we have been high above for too long. We can empathize with immortals and gods, but it is difficult for us to empathize with mortals. Although he has not removed us from the list of human beings, all the benefits related to the human path are no longer relevant to us!"

"The Xuanyuan Bow has fallen into Su Qing's hands? Of the four humanistic runes, the strongest and heaviest Azure Dragon rune is already in his possession. The three humanistic treasures, the Human Emperor Sword and the Xuanyuan Bow, are also under his control. This boy is going further and further down the path of competing for the Human Emperor title!"

"The emergence of the Human Emperor is causing our minds to be disturbed? That is normal. The appearance of an emperor in any of the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man is a major event for all the heavens and myriad realms. But I see that he is still far from achieving the merits of the Human Emperor and is not yet qualified to be the Human Emperor!"

"Never mind, I'm going back to my coffin for a nap. Call me if you need anything!"

"Don't rush to sleep. This isn't about who has the Xuanyuan Bow; it's about who Su Qing is going to shoot!"

After exchanging their divine senses, the powerful beings of the heavens looked at each other, their minds in turmoil.

Because they saw that Su Qing's actions were not simply about drawing a bow.

He was drawing the Xuanyuan Bow, a supreme treasure of humanity. Not only that, but he also seemed to have gathered all the humanistic fortune that had accumulated on him over the years into this arrow, so that this arrow could generate unparalleled power. It could not only shoot at the sixth-level Void Refinement stage, but also at their seventh-level Dao Lord stage!
"Don't even mention shooting at us, you could shoot down the sun! What is he doing? Who has such a deep grudge against him that he would dare to retaliate at such a cost!"

"Young man is too impetuous, daring to gamble with his future. Once this arrow is shot, his previous lead on the throne of the Human Emperor will be destroyed, and he will have to rise again, accumulating human fortune little by little. The throne of the Human Emperor may therefore slip through his fingers!"

The powerful beings of the heavens were puzzled as to who Su Qing intended to shoot, and shocked by the decision he was making at that moment.

As a supreme treasure of humanity, the Xuanyuan Bow unleashes its ultimate power, making it difficult even for a seventh-level Dao Lord to dodge or escape. It is not unimaginable that one's body and soul would be annihilated by a single arrow from it.

However, to unleash this ultimate power, one needs to gather an immeasurable amount of human fortune. Just like Su Qing is now, he has staked all the human merit he has accumulated over the years on this one arrow.

While the arrow's trajectory was satisfying and the target would undoubtedly suffer, the shooter would also incur significant losses, nearly exhausting their absolute advantage in the competition for the throne.

If it were any of the great beings of the heavens, they would not have done such a foolish thing.

Human fortune is hard to accumulate. The Immortal Qin Martial Kingdom and the Xuanyuan Immortal Kingdom have worked hard to revitalize the human race over the years, and the accumulated human fortune is still not as good as Su Qing's current fortune.

Su Qing's extraordinary fortune stems from three factors: first, his development of the far west, transforming this harsh and cold land into a prosperous haven for countless humans; second, his years of vanquishing demons and monsters; and third, his battle against the Reincarnation Demon, where he seized the Reincarnation Dao Pattern from the Reincarnation Demon for the sake of all living beings and led the Divine Realm back into the mortal world.

These major events were only possible because they occurred at the right time and in the right place. If Su Qing wanted to accumulate such good fortune again in the future, he might not have the opportunity or the ability to do so.

As long as he maintains these humanistic fortunes and does not commit any evil deeds that would anger both heaven and man, with the humanistic merits he currently possesses, everyone else will be just there to make up the numbers in the struggle for the Human Emperor's throne. It will be a natural and orderly process for him to ascend to the throne.

Who would have thought that he would have the audacity to mobilize all the human fortune just to gather it for this one arrow!
The gods and powerful beings did not understand, but were greatly shocked. They silently watched Su Qing's movements, wondering who this arrow was for!

Meanwhile, on the western sea of ​​the Tianyuan Realm, the high-ranking cultivators from various realms had different ideas based on their respective interests and positions.

Some people were trying to dissuade him, including Shi Lijing, Fuhu Tianjun, and others. They felt that Su Qing's arrow might also cost him the throne, which was a great pity.

"Su Tianjun, let's talk this out. There's no need to be so angry. Just tell us who offended you, and we'll avenge you. There's no need to make such a scene!"

"The person I'm going to deal with is someone you can't handle!" Su Qing said calmly.

Fuhu Tianjun and the others were stunned upon hearing this. What he said made a lot of sense. They couldn't even defeat Su Qing in his normal state, and he still had a bunch of puppets that he hadn't used yet. If this was an opponent that could force him to use the Xuanyuan Bow and even expend the power of human destiny, wouldn't they be shattered at the slightest touch if they encountered him?
The few people who had just had a falling out with Su Qing and forced him to hand over the Xuanyuan Bow were oblivious to their own limitations. As soon as they heard that Su Qing intended to use this arrow against someone, they immediately assumed it was someone else and their hair stood on end. They then joined in trying to persuade him to surrender.

"Lord Su, we were a bit inhuman just now, but our crime doesn't warrant death. Please forgive us this time!"

"You think you're worthy of my use of this bow? I can deal with you with my own strength!" Su Qing curled his lips in disdain. With his current abilities, it would be an exaggeration to say that he could wipe out all these people in the blink of an eye without using puppets, but it wouldn't be arrogant to eliminate them without lifting a finger.

Hearing him say that, all the cultivators present breathed a sigh of relief. They thought to themselves, why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? Even if they were all tied together, they couldn't match the immense human energy Su Qing used to unleash this arrow.

With their minds at ease, the great Confucian scholars of the Immortal Qin Martial Kingdom, the Ji clan members of the Xuanyuan Immortal Kingdom, and even all others who coveted the throne of the Human Emperor, or even those who did not covet the throne but could not bear to see Su Qing occupy it, began to urge Su Qing to fire the arrow quickly.

"Su Tianjun, hurry up, go all out, and get this over with as soon as possible!"

“Yes, let’s do it that way. Su Tianjun should have given up on the path to becoming the Human Emperor long ago. You are exceptionally talented, capable of achieving great things in both Dharma and Body cultivation, and you could even attain the position of Heavenly Emperor. By shedding the burden of becoming the Human Emperor, you can embark on your journey with greater ease!”

"Squeeze every last drop of humanity's fortune out of your body, and let all the heavens and myriad realms witness the might of the human race's wrath!"

They all wanted Su Qing to use up all his human energy so that they could close the gap between them and Su Qing on the throne of the Human Emperor.

The guardian generals, the Vermilion Bird female cultivator, and other humans stared intently at the surging human fortune gathering within Su Qing's Xuanyuan Bow, their eyes filled with both envy and awe, as well as boundless regret.

They were favored by the Xuanwu and Zhuque Dao Patterns because they genuinely served the human race and had the conscience of considering its well-being. They were all too aware of how much the masses of mortals in the Tianyuan Realm yearned for the birth of a Human Emperor.

The revival of spiritual energy in the Tianyuan Realm is a cause for celebration for cultivators, great demons, immortals, gods, Buddhas, and demons alike.

They can enjoy a feast during this spiritual revival, devouring all the creations emerging in this Tianyuan Realm, and then look down on mortals from their lofty position.

As for mortals, they cannot compete for or enjoy the blessings of the Tianyuan Realm, but they cannot escape the various calamities caused by these blessings, such as the struggles between cultivators, the conflict between Dao and Demon, and the attacks by all races.

The high-ranking immortals and deities would not count the casualties of mortals. Even if a few sects did keep track, those were just cold, hard numbers, offering little pity to the mortals.

Just like when the demons invaded the Western Sea and the Thousand Islands Alliance was occupied by the demons, the first batch of people who were transferred, and those who were able to transfer, were all cultivators, not ordinary people.

Cultivators are also human beings, but not all human beings are cultivators. When more and more powerful cultivators, immortals, gods, Buddhas, and demons ride on the heads of mortals, mortals have no chance to speak out and can only be oxen and horses, becoming sacrifices for this great world of cultivation.

If a human emperor were to be born, the human race's situation would be very different. With a human emperor, the lives of mortals would also be lives. In human territory, people would have to abide by human rules. Those who indiscriminately kill the innocent and disregard human life would be punished and hunted down by the human imperial court. Immortals, gods, Buddhas, and demons would no longer be able to take lives from mortals.

Originally, in the eyes of the Guardian General and the Vermilion Bird female cultivator, although they themselves were striving for the throne of the Human Emperor, when they saw fellow practitioners like Su Qing who had gone further on the path to the throne of the Human Emperor, although they felt envy or jealousy, they admired and praised him more, hoping that he could go further and ascend to the throne of the Human Emperor sooner.

Little did he expect that his decision today would exhaust all the humanitarian luck he had accumulated.

"What kind of enemy is worth him doing this? No, if it were me, no enemy would be worth doing this!" the guardian general muttered to himself.

The Vermilion Bird female cultivator, however, asked herself if she would have the courage and determination to burn everything if her small Vermilion Bird Kingdom were to be destroyed.

"What a pity! After this arrow, I'm afraid we'll never see the magnificent sight of the Humanitarian Imperial Court again!"

Guangxian Zhenjun shook his head in regret. The human imperial court he spoke of was not the one that the Human Emperor established when the world was at its peak, when the human fortune was at its zenith, and which was built by gathering human resources to create an imperial court comparable to the Heavenly Palace.

Instead, it was the seventh-order puppet Human Dao Imperial Court that Su Qing created within the Divine Realm by using the Azure Dragon Dao Pattern, gathering the luck of humanity, and accumulating countless divine weapons.

The appearance of this Human Dao Imperial Court was sudden and its disappearance was without a trace, but its fleeting splendor was unforgettable for everyone in the Divine Realm at that time.

After returning to the mortal world, True Lord Guangxian reported to the sect in detail everything Su Qing had done in the Divine Realm.

Among them, what particularly shocked the sect's higher-ups were the three seventh-tier puppets created by Su Qing: the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Venerable True Martial Emperor, the Eastern Peak Emperor who governs the Underworld, and the magnificent and awe-inspiring Humanity Imperial Court.

These three seventh-tier puppets are unlikely to reappear once the True Martial Emperor's last wisp of will dissipates, and the Eastern Peak Emperor will also be difficult to reassemble once Su Qing gave up the opportunity to control the Reincarnation Dao Pattern.

However, the Humanity Imperial Court, with the human merits and human fortune accumulated by Su Qing, can be reassembled at any time.

Because of this ability, the Yuanshi Sect and the other major sects in the heavens tacitly acknowledged that Su Qing's Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom had joined the ranks of the major sects in the heavens after Su Qing returned to Tianyuan, since it had a seventh-tier trump card to suppress its fortune.

By shooting away Su Qing's arrow, he will not only lose the advantages he has accumulated on the throne of the Human Emperor, but also lose a seventh-order technique, causing the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom to lose its status and its respect and fear from all the heavens and myriad realms, thus weakening it by several levels.

Guangxian Zhenjun did not realize that Su Qing was the kind of person who would act recklessly in a fit of rage.

Having made his decision, he had his reasons for doing so. Now he just wanted to see where Su Qing's arrow would land and whether it was worth it for him to do it!
Under his witness, along with the great powers of the heavens and countless cultivators.

Su Qing saw that even with all the accumulated human strength, the Xuanyuan Bow could not be fully drawn, and still felt it was not enough.

Seeing his divine thought land on the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom, he didn't say much. With just one thought, the billions of mortals under his rule, who were living more and more like humans, all surged with their thoughts, sending out strands of human energy.

Human strength is limited, and the amount of luck that can be provided seems insignificant. However, when the amount is large, it rises into the clouds in wisps and strands, forming a golden bridge of auspicious colors that spans from the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom to the Western Sea, landing inside the Xuanyuan Bow.

"It's still not enough!"

With just a glance from Su Qing, Gao Erqiang shuddered. Su Qing had her eye on the fortunes of the Xingsha Divine Kingdom.

He was just about to set off for Xing Sha Shen Guo to help Su Qing make some noise and give him some support.

But then I thought better of it and decided to let Su Qing go by herself.

"Go ahead, your influence is more important to those mortals in my divine kingdom than mine!"

As Gao Erqiang said, Su Qing, who once drove down the price of cultivation artifacts in the Xing Sha Divine Kingdom, allowing mortals to enjoy the convenience of low-priced spiritual medicines and cheap puppets, liberating productivity and solving problems such as difficulty in curing diseases, had a prestige in the Xing Sha Divine Kingdom that was almost the same as in the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom. Mortals also spared no effort to gather their fortunes for him.

Not only the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom and the Xingsha Divine Kingdom, but also the Golden Bridge above the Western Sea, which grew ever more magnificent, so that it could be heard throughout the realm and known to all living beings.

In the various immortal kingdoms of the Western Sea and in the various realms of Tianyuan, people of varying degrees all converged upon him.

However, the merits of humanity do not lie in human fortune, but in people's hearts. When you possess people's hearts, no matter how much human fortune you desire, there will always be people who will lend you their strength.

This time, the favor was given because of your past achievements. Whether you can be given this favor again next time depends on your future performance and whether you are qualified to use this favor.

And the moment the bow was fully drawn and the Azure Dragon Arrow was released, everyone knew who it was aimed at.

Bang!
A hole was pierced in the sky, revealing a dark and eerie palace filled with black mist. On that palace stood the Black Heavenly Emperor, the Buddha Heavenly Emperor, and the Evil Heavenly Emperor, the three emperors standing side by side.

"This arrow is aimed at evil spirits and demons, meant to vanquish evil and restore peace and tranquility to the world!" (End of Chapter)
