There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Wang Ping immediately felt a familiar aura rush towards him. It was Rong Yang's aura, but at this moment, his aura was extremely dull, almost devoid of his own will, like a pre-programmed puppet.

But he was not a puppet. His rebellious spirit was suppressed by the array that spanned the starry sky, making him only an extension of the blazing sun's will and a tool for the blazing sun to control the true yang energy of the starry sky.

More accurately, he was refined by the blazing sun into a magical artifact, and a magical artifact with a fifth-realm fire spirit core, just like Wang Ping's method of refining those fourth-realm true spirits.

This is undoubtedly a big move!

Yu Lian sensed Rong Yang's aura within the magic array and spoke in human language, "That little sun is so pitiful."

As she finished speaking, the Five Realms True Yang Consciousness deep within the core of Mars was activated by Xuan Qing with unparalleled divine power, and through the ancient magic array that re-lit around the star, it established a mysterious connection with the raging sun in its frenzied state.

A true yang aura, not originating from Lieyang himself but sharing the same source, traversed the starry sky at an extremely fast speed, slowly infusing Lieyang's consciousness, which was filled with destruction and chaos.

It contains another side of the Fire Spirit's rules, containing the characteristics of nourishment, warmth, and rebirth. This gentle power softly envelops every raging thought of the blazing sun, every broken and howling fragment of consciousness, silently comforting and guiding it with its shared essence.

The raging, destructive flames, under the influence of this gentle power, seemed like an enraged child feeling the comfort of its mother. The ferocity of the flames subsided at a visible rate, the terrifying energy gradually became more restrained, and the twisting and churning Golden Crow's true form slowly stopped struggling and entered a deep restorative slumber.

The purgatory built of madness and pain at the core of the blazing sun's consciousness, though not immediately dissipated, was forcibly stabilized by this gentle yet powerful external force of the same origin. The mad roars gradually turned into low and uneasy sobs, and finally fell silent.

Bai Yan watched quietly from the side, his eyes deep and his expression indifferent; while Wang Ping took it all in, his gaze deep and unfathomable, lost in thought.

A few breaths later, the gentle true yang energy continuously supplied through the ancient magic array completely enveloped the golden crow form transformed from the blazing sun.

As the consciousness of the blazing sun subsided and its energy stabilized, the true sun, which hung high in the core of the starry sky, began to calm down, its corona and energy flow, which had been boiling and agitated due to the forced induction of the previous forces, seemed to have lost their source of chaos.

Meanwhile, in the starry sky, the energy turbulence caused by the fierce battle between the four True Lords and the abnormal movement of the sun began to slowly dissipate as the leaders stopped fighting and the sun stabilized.

Wang Ping stared at the now-silent blazing sun, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. Bai Yan chuckled and said, "What? You want to get rid of this menace? If you really want to, now is a good opportunity. Xuan Qing should be no match for you or me."

Xuan Qing put away the hand seals he had formed, glanced at Lie Yang who was bound by the magic array, and turned to Wang Ping, saying, "Lie Yang's consciousness has been dormant this time, but it will be replenished once again. I will monitor the entire process to ensure that he becomes the state we want him to be in."

Bai Yan's smile vanished when facing Xuan Qing, replaced by a coldness as he asked, "What kind of state of blazing sun do you think we want?"

Xuanqing replied, "Gentle, loving, kind, neutral, and loyal to one's duties, one can permanently guard the Sun's residence and bring light to all living beings."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ping glanced at Xuan Qing a few more times, then looked at Lie Yang, who was sleeping in the Fire Spirit Formation. He was very skeptical about the possibility of this.

Yulian directly expressed her distrust, saying, "What you said has no credibility whatsoever."

Bai Yan then said, "Do you want to reshape his consciousness with the rules of the Golden Core? Is he refining this new Fifth Realm True Yang consciousness in preparation for this? In my opinion, it would be more convenient to release this Fifth Realm True Yang consciousness, suppress the fire spirit core of the blazing sun, and refine it into the core of the array that guards the sun."

Xuan Qing raised an eyebrow, seemingly seriously considering Bai Yan's suggestion. He then turned his gaze to Wang Ping and asked, "What does Fellow Daoist Chang Qing think?"

Wang Ping looked at the sleeping Lieyang and knew that this was the best time to make a decision. Various ideas flashed through his mind at lightning speed. He met Xuan Qing's gaze and said, "Let's just strip Lieyang of his main consciousness and release Rongyang from the core of Mars. From now on, he will be under your care. Don't let him cause any more trouble."

He couldn't possibly take over the Zhenyang Sect's power, nor did he want the Zhenyang Sect to side with the Dragon Lord. Letting Xuanqing take over this force was the best option.

Bai Yan glanced at Wang Ping and said, "Since the Dragon Lord is not going to appear, then we will ignore him. You leave one of your avatars here, and Xuan Qing and I will handle the affairs of the True Yang Sect."

"it is good!"

Wang Ping agreed decisively. After answering, he conjured a 'clone talisman' and then took Yu Lian through endless time and space to return to the Daoist temple of Jiuxuan Mountain.

"Meow~"

The calico cat meowed first, and standing beside it was Hu Qianqian in her human form. She had not participated in the internal affairs of the Taiyan Sect. During the chaos in the starry sky, she came to Jiuxuan Mountain to ensure that no villains would take the opportunity to cause trouble here.

Wang Ping didn't look at Hu Qianqian and the calico cat. He reached out and gently grabbed in front of him, and a network of five elements rules immediately appeared around him, but then disappeared again. Then he said, "The spirituality of the entire universe is on the verge of chaos."

As he spoke, his eyes pierced through the past, present, and future, casting their gaze upon the alien planet occupied by the rebels, observing the future changes in the situation. After more than ten breaths, he suddenly caught sight of a strange energy point.

But when he tried to discern the future, many of the scenes became bizarre and unpredictable, and even with his cultivation level, he couldn't pinpoint them.

The sun and moon revolved, and Wang Ping felt as if only a moment had passed, but in reality, several months had gone by, and he still could not predict the future situation.

"The future may indeed be changeable!"

Wang Ping withdrew his divination gesture and looked at the increasingly dense demonic energy world under the starry sky. Suddenly, he frowned slightly. Yu Lian, who was perched on a nearby spirit tree, immediately sensed Wang Ping's thoughts and asked, "What's wrong now?"

Hu Qianqian, who had been waiting by the side, also looked at Wang Ping.

Wang Ping stretched out his right hand, sensing the flow of spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and said, "I don't know, but I always feel there's a problem. The Dao Palace has been working so hard for so long, yet the spirituality of the starry sky is still on the verge of turmoil. This is not a good sign!" The moment Wang Ping finished speaking, the world of inspiration suddenly boiled over without warning!

Countless spiritual beings suddenly appeared out of thin air within the world of inspiration. They fell into the most extreme madness, tearing and devouring each other, emitting shrieks and murmurs that only the primordial spirits of high-level cultivators could perceive.

In the real universe, the spiritual energy, which was already somewhat restless due to the successive battles and the expansion of demonic energy, is now like a lake surface thrown with a boulder, becoming more chaotic and disordered than ever before.

Even more terrifying is that the mad ramblings and waves of negative emotions originating from the world of inspiration disregard physical distance and directly affect the depths of the consciousness of all sentient beings!

Whether on the battlefield where battles are raging or in the ecological zone where peace has temporarily returned, countless low-level cultivators and even mid-level cultivators with weak wills feel an inexplicable palpitation, irritability, rage, and even fear without warning. Some with keen spiritual senses even see all sorts of strange illusions.

Yu Lian suddenly raised her head from the spirit tree, her scales slightly bristling, her vertical pupils filled with vigilance and unease.

"Is this the true face of spiritual turmoil?" Wang Ping's voice was low and solemn. He turned his gaze from the outer star to the ecological zones of the meteorite belt on the outer edge of Zhongzhou Star, piercing through endless space and time.

This star field is the breeding ground of life in this star system, and it is also the area where life is most concentrated. At this moment, a tragic and terrifying scene is unfolding, just like the one on the demon star before!
Countless low-level cultivators, mortal laborers, and even some small spirit beasts, who were either bewitched or forcibly abducted, were driven in droves onto the suddenly appearing altar.

Their life essence was frantically extracted, transforming into streaks of filthy, blood-red light that shot into the sky. But this time, they weren't summoning extraterrestrial pollution; instead, they themselves became the source of the pollution.

Wang Ping frowned slightly. Yu Lian, connected to Wang Ping's primordial spirit, saw what was happening in those ecological zones and said unhappily, "This is human nature. This time they actually attacked ordinary mortals directly, and the human nature of mortals is the easiest to manipulate."

At this moment, Wang Ping was somewhat angry. He was angry at the ignorance of these mortals, but they were ignorant to begin with, so he could only suppress his anger. Hui Shan's original thoughts flashed through his mind again, but he then suppressed them as well.

The first to be impacted by the chaotic spirituality were naturally the True Lords, especially the True Yang Sect, which was already in an unstable state. Fortunately, Xuanqing and Baiyan were there to suppress it.

Because of the presence of Wang Ping and Xiao Shan's consciousness, Jupiter maintained basic stability. However, the rules of the wood spirit in this starry sky were all connected to Wang Ping. Theoretically, he controlled every wood spirit particle. Therefore, the moment the spirituality became chaotic, his physical spiritual meridians immediately reacted.

However, Wang Ping remained extremely calm. He then sat cross-legged under the spirit tree, his body surrounded by flowing emerald light, slowly stabilizing the agitation of his spiritual veins. He was one with the wood spirit rules of this starry sky, and stabilizing himself was to stabilize the foundation of the wood spirit rules in this star field.

At the same time, the other True Monarchs in various parts of the star field also entered a state of deep meditation to stabilize the core of their spiritual veins.

In other words, the top combat forces in this star system were all paralyzed due to this sudden spiritual upheaval, which also caused the sacrifices and pollution that were taking place on the extraterrestrial planet and in various ecological zones to lose their most effective intervention force.

At that very moment, the strange energy point that Wang Ping had observed during his previous deductions suddenly appeared under the starry sky. It was inside the demonic energy world. Wang Ping, who had just entered meditation, immediately sensed it. He suddenly opened his eyes, forcibly suppressing the vibration of the spiritual veins in his body with his cultivation, and turned his gaze towards the direction of the outer star.

At that moment, a variety of thoughts flashed through his mind. Sensing Wang Ping's emotions, Yu Lian immediately floated down onto his shoulder.

Logically, as a True Lord of the Xuanmen Sect, Wang Ping should have intervened to stop it, but his fear of the other True Lords filled him with hesitation.

Just then, a surge of earth vein energy shot into the sky from the direction of Saturn, instantly traversing the void and descending upon the asteroid belt region on the outskirts of Zhongzhou Star. At the same time, a powerful force pierced through the void from the direction of Venus, also appearing in the asteroid belt on the outskirts of Zhongzhou Star.

"Although this place is stubborn, its stubbornness can be quite good if used in the right place."

Yu Lian made a simple evaluation.

The instant his words fell, Wang Ping had already transported her through time and space, placing her at the edge of the demonic energy world. At that very moment, he sensed a massive energy point converging within the demonic energy world.

His vision couldn't penetrate the surging demonic energy, but he could sense the energy points gathering inside, as well as some rampant and violent consciousness. It was devouring things, and the power it generated was terrifying, like a bottomless black hole, frantically seizing everything inside the demonic world.

Wang Ping stood at the edge of the demonic energy world. The emerald green light flowing around him and the surging, roaring demonic energy formed a clear boundary. The vibrations in his spiritual meridians had not yet completely subsided, and it would not be wise to forcefully break through the demonic energy barrier at this moment.

However, the polluting spirituality emanating from this energy point is affecting the order and rules of the starry sky. Although it is extremely weak, it is an extremely dangerous signal, meaning that the existence of that energy point is itself exacerbating the spiritual collapse of the entire star field.

We must not let its influence spread any further!

Without hesitation, Wang Ping raised his hands, and streams of emerald green runes, imbued with the vitality and unwavering will of pure wood spirits, flowed from his fingertips. These runes quickly spread out in front of him, intertwining and combining to form an enormous and intricately structured green light net.

The moment the light net took shape, the spiritual pollution emanating from the demonic world seemed to crash into an indestructible barrier, its pull on the external spiritual energy was forcibly cut off, and the surging demonic energy impacted the light net, creating ripples, but it could not cross it even slightly.

At the same time, Bai Xin, Hou Ji, Zhu Wu, and Wang Xuan of the demon race also appeared in the nearby starry sky. Although they were already on the opposite side of Wang Ping, they could still see that Wang Ping was still respectfully bowing. Then he set up a huge star map formation to block the leakage of polluted spiritual energy from the other side.

A few breaths later, Yuexi and Zhixin appeared behind Wang Ping. Yuexi clasped her hands in a fist and explained, "Fellow Daoist Zang Yi needs to deal with the chaos within the Star God Alliance, so he specially sent us here to assist the True Lord!"

Without wasting any words, Wang Ping began to unfold the divine palace beneath his feet as the light net of the Wood Spirit Array formed, forcefully suppressing the spiritual pollution of the demonic world.

Upon seeing this, Yuexi and Zhixin immediately used their own methods to suppress the spiritual pollution of the demonic world.

At that very moment, the energy within the demonic world suddenly became unstable, giving the impression that internal turmoil was brewing. (End of Chapter)
