There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 1091 Prematurely Creating a Magical Artifact Centered on the Star Sea
Gray Daoist did not refuse Wang Ping's suggestion, but Wang Ping did not immediately set about it. He planned to send Gray Daoist and his puppets who had switched to the demonic path to the outer realms at the same time.

As soon as Gray Daoist left, Yu Lian asked, "Those demonic cultivators from beyond the realm are so clever. They understand your personality perfectly, know that you cannot give up your humanity, and even indirectly used Dragon Lord."

Wang Ping asked with a smile, "What kind of state do you think they are in?"

"A bunch of lunatics who just want to invade the material world at all costs and occasionally plot evil schemes."

"Haha, you've read too many stories. Those people might be a bit obsessive about certain things, and you could call them crazy, but they're not stupid."

"A bunch of clever and intelligent lunatics?"

"That's their nature."

"What should it be called then?"

"Let's call it the Demonic Path for now."

Wang Ping picked up the now-cold teacup, took a sip of tea, and looked up at the azure sky, a flurry of thoughts flashing through his mind.

Yu Lian watched Wang Ping deep in thought. After a long silence, she said, "The Gray Daoist is not trustworthy at all. He will definitely team up with the demonic cultivators when he goes to the outer realms. Moreover, with his cultivation level, he can easily gain a very high status in the outer realms."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ping smiled and said to Yu Lian, "Look at the relationships among the True Lords of the Xuanmen Sect. If a new True Lord were to join this group, what do you think he would face?"

Yu Lian's eyes flashed, and she nodded thoughtfully: "He still has a title, and he will be very polite to him, just like when you first entered the fifth realm."

"It's just a title. I'm not afraid that he won't align himself with those demonic cultivators. I'm just afraid that he won't lower himself to join forces with them. That way, he can get more information, even though that information isn't important at first."

"He should be able to humble himself."

The scene of Gray Daoist flattering her just now immediately flashed into Yu Lian's mind.

Wang Ping sensed the emotions in Yu Lian's mind and gently stroked her head, saying, "What do you think of what he said?"

"It sounds very pleasant to listen to, and I really like it."

"Haha, that's more like it."

After saying this, Wang Ping got up and walked to the edge of the cliff, gazing at the vast land.

Yu Lian landed on Wang Ping's shoulder and rested her little head on his cheek. Sensing Wang Ping's thoughtful state, she did not disturb him further.

Time passed quickly, and half an hour had passed before he realized it. Wang Ping's confused state of mind suddenly became clear again, and at that moment he made a decision.

"Senior Xinghai!"

Wang Ping called out softly.

The illusory figure of Xinghai appeared.

Wang Ping bowed to Xinghai and said, "I plan to build a star fortress as a magical artifact, and I need your help to do so." Xinghai nodded and said to Wang Ping, "I have a strong desire for the material world in my consciousness. If you do this, I don't know if I can suppress those desires."

Wang Ping responded, "I will use the 'Heaven-Stealing Talisman' to fix your consciousness. I have a feeling this will help my cultivation."

Xinghai fell into thought, and this thought lasted for an entire day. After a full cycle of the sun and moon, he looked at Wang Ping and said, "Now that I have gained consciousness, I should try to be human. I can provide energy for your fortress, but in most cases I estimate that I cannot rely on the fortress. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to stay in that metal sphere all the time."

"How about we use that metal sphere as the core of the fortress to construct the entire fortress control array?"

“You can try. I will use this fortress as the vessel for your consciousness that you have prepared for me. I can promise that as long as your consciousness exists in this universe, I will continue to serve you.”

Although Xinghai spoke with a rational and calm demeanor, Wang Ping clearly sensed that his fate in the future would undergo a clear change, and for the better.

Wang Ping simply nodded, then said, "I'll make preparations now."

The information brought by the Gray Daoist made Wang Ping suddenly realize that his vision was still too narrow. This was mainly because he was used to following a plan step by step. He had been doing this since he started cultivating, and everything had gone smoothly.

His original plan was to control this starry sky before slowly planning for the outer realms, believing that the barriers of this starry sky could provide him with sufficient protection.

Furthermore, if he were to spend countless resources to build a star fortress at this moment, it would inevitably attract unnecessary attention from the Dragon Lord, which would not be a good thing for him. Moreover, the information from Gray Daoist and Yuan Wu proved that the Dragon Lord would most likely not pay attention to him in the short term.

However, his cultivation level would definitely not be able to advance further in this short period of time, so he could only try to find other ways to improve it.

After Wang Ping and Xinghai finished their conversation, Yu Lian looked at Wang Ping and said, "Are you still planning to join the game?"

"I suspect the Dragon Lord will use the same old method to force me to expend my cultivation to summon the rules of the starry sky. With Senior Star Sea's help, I am already in an invincible position. Moreover, I have a feeling that doing this might help my cultivation. I suddenly want to know what they will do after this."

Wang Ping spoke calmly.

Yu Lian immediately replied, "They will definitely attack you just like they attacked Yao Xi back then."

Wang Ping simply smiled and remained silent. Just as he was preparing to mobilize his puppets to build a fortress artifact at the other end of Jupiter's orbit, a surge of wood spirit energy rose into the sky from the Taiyan Sect's base.

That was when Xia Wenyi was using the Wood Spirit Qi to deduce the opportunity for advancement through the Qi Circulation Array. Without the help of the 'Heavenly Eye', he could only seek that sliver of opportunity for advancement from the divine secrets he was deducing.

Under the starry sky, centered on his secluded meditation chamber, a vibrant green light, almost solidified into a liquid spiritual tide, burst through the restrictions and obstacles at the top of the training ground, transforming into an incredibly thick pillar of light that forcefully pierced into the heavens.

Within the pillar of light, countless profound runes flowed and died like living things, causing the wood-elemental spiritual energy in the surrounding void to gather wildly, emitting a hum like an ancient forest howling in a storm.

However, these unusual phenomena were fleeting, and it is highly likely that Xia Wenyi failed to seize the opportunity for promotion and had to give up before things became uncontrollable.

Everything returned to calm.

After Wang Ping's primordial spirit scanned Xia Wenyi's condition and confirmed that he was alright, he took Yu Lian and traversed endless space and time, appearing on the other side of Jupiter's orbit. This place was on the vast star disk of Jupiter's orbit, separated from the starry sky where Jupiter was currently located by stars, Mars, Zhongzhou Star, and Saturn. It was another point opposite to Jupiter.

Wang Ping plans to build his fortress artifact in this boundless starry sky. First, he needs to establish a spacetime channel that only he can observe to transport the various materials needed to build the fortress. Then, he needs to capture the gravitational field of stars and simulate an artificial celestial body that is opposite to Jupiter.
