There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 1107 Only Open Schemes
Tiangong and Diwen exchanged a glance and then immediately withdrew from the projection space.

The moment Tiangong calmed his mind, a unique fluctuation came from the communication token in his arms. It was a message from the Dragon Lord. He dared not delay and immediately followed the token's guidance, projecting his consciousness into a brand new projection space.

The space was dimly lit, and the majestic figure of Long Jun was already seated in the main seat. His expression was calm, revealing neither joy nor anger. Then, the figures of Di Wen, Bai Xin, Hou Ji, Zhu Wu, Wang Xuan, and Ao Yi also solidified one after another.

"Everyone has arrived." The Dragon Lord's voice broke the silence, even deeper than before. "Chang Qing's cultivation has progressed far beyond expectations, and the original plan is no longer feasible."

His gaze swept over everyone present, and a hint of apprehension flashed deep within his vertical pupils, which seemed to hold the weight of a thousand rivers.

"Changqing's talent is just like Yaoxi's in the past." The Dragon Lord's voice carried a heavy pressure. "How many years have passed since he entered this realm to cultivate? Yet he is already on par with you and me. If we give him several hundred more years, allowing him to consolidate his strength and focus on cultivation..."

Long Jun paused slightly, and the atmosphere in the entire dark space froze. He looked around at everyone and said, word by word, "At that time, it will probably not be a question of whether we can suppress him, but whether this starry sky can still accommodate me."

These undisguised words of fear resonated like thunder in everyone's hearts.

Tiangong, Diwen, and the others' expressions changed again. They knew how proud the Dragon Lord was, and even he himself admitted that Wang Ping's threat had reached such a level that its seriousness far exceeded their previous estimates.

At this moment, Long Jun's voice suddenly turned stern, carrying an undeniable determination: "Xuan Qing's proposal, though a temporary measure, can still be used, but we must be quick in our offensive against Wu Nian; we have no time to waste."

At this moment, a fierce glint flashed in Bai Xin's eyes. He stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Dragon Lord, Wang Ping seems invincible, but his cultivation period is ultimately short, and his mental state may have flaws. He especially values ​​his disciples. Perhaps we could act secretly, disrupt their cultivation paths, and disturb their mental state..."

"No!"

Tiangong interrupted sharply, looking at Bai Xin with a warning in his eyes:

"Fellow Daoist Bai Xin, do you know what you are saying? What is Chang Qing's cultivation level now? If you were to harm even one of his disciples, with his current abilities, he could easily trigger cause and effect with a single thought, or even with a slight guidance, and our disciples and clansmen would likely meet with certain death or injury in an instant!"

He took a deep breath, looked at the silent Dragon Lord in the main seat, and then looked around at the crowd with surprised and doubtful expressions. He said in a deep voice, "To deal with someone with the cultivation level of Changqing, unless we are absolutely certain that we can completely suppress him in one blow, we can only rely on open strategies and act within the rules. Any attempt to touch his bottom line or provoke him may bring consequences that we cannot bear."

Diwen nodded slowly from the side and added, "What Fellow Daoist Tiangong said is absolutely right. Since Changqing has proven his strength, he has the right to set the rules, and we can only abide by them."

The Dragon King sat upright, offering no comment on Bai Xin's suggestion. His gaze unconsciously swept over Ao Yi at the very back, and he sighed inwardly.

"This matter should not be mentioned again." The Dragon King finally spoke, making the final decision. "Concentrate all forces and, according to the established plan, launch an expedition beyond the realm in three days to reclaim the Demon Star!"

Then, the Dragon King's gaze swept over Tiangong, Diwen, and the others, carrying an undeniable air of authority: "Tiangong, Diwen, you two will be fully responsible for coordinating the specific details of the attack on the Demon Star."

"We will obey the Dragon Lord's decree!" Tiangong and Diwen immediately bowed and accepted the order, their expressions solemn.

"Zhu Wu and Bai Xin, stay. The rest of you, leave." Long Jun waved his hand. Upon hearing this, Tian Gong, Di Wen, Hou Ji, Wang Xuan, and Ao Yi, who had been silent all along, faded away and left the dark projection space.

The Dragon Lord's gaze fell on Zhu Wu and Bai Xin, and he said calmly, "You two are now powerful enough to advance further. After you step down, come to my Dragon Palace as soon as possible, and I can help you to quickly achieve the first step of the fifth realm."

Zhu Wu and Bai Xin's faces lit up with joy upon hearing this, and they quickly bowed, saying, "Thank you, Dragon Lord!"

Long Jun nodded slightly, "When we finally fight Wu Nian and suppress that demon, Chang Qing will definitely make a move. At that time, you two will need to find an opportunity together with me."

Long Jun did not say it explicitly, but all three present knew that the so-called "opportunity" was to find an opportunity to jointly attack Changqing during or after the suppression of Wunian!

"This will be our last and best chance."

The Dragon Lord's voice was like ice that had stood for millennia, carrying a resolute killing intent: "Before he completely surpasses us and there are no more constraints, we must eliminate him completely."

With that, he gently waved his hand, severing the projected consciousness of the two demons.

Then, the dark environment around the Dragon Lord quickly changed into a crystal-clear palace. This was the Dragon Lord's weapon-refining meditation room deep in the Linshui Mansion. In the center of the hall, an extremely complex magic array was slowly operating, emitting a dazzling spiritual light. At the core of the magic array, an ancient bronze mirror was suspended.

The bronze mirror is mottled and engraved with dragon and phoenix patterns as well as many incomprehensible ancient runes. The mirror surface is like a calm water surface, or a miniature starry sky, with countless fine points of light moving rapidly along some mysterious trajectory.

The Dragon Lord gazed at the bronze mirror, his vertical pupils reflecting the shimmering light within. He continuously formed hand seals, channeling his purest water elemental power into the mirror, causing subtle changes in the trajectory of the light spots on its surface.

This mirror is not a weapon; its only function is to briefly reflect the movement of Yin-Yang and Five Elements rules in a local area of ​​the starry sky. When fighting Wang Ping, he can use this mirror to sense in advance when his spells might be stolen or interfered with.

Just as Diwen said before, the only way to defeat Wang Ping right now is to use a fair and square strategy. Any trickery or schemes will only cause trouble for himself. Therefore, he needs to make full preparations for the upcoming battle, even though Wang Ping's cultivation level is not as high as his at the moment.

On the other side, after Tiangong and Diwen's consciousness returned to their main bodies, they did not stop for a moment and immediately issued the highest-level conscription order to all their subordinate forces.

In an instant, with Vajra Temple and the Cave Gate as the core, all the sects, families, and even independent cultivators that were affiliated with the Dragon Lord's camp began to operate efficiently.

In addition, countless cultivators and flying boats are also gathering at the Taiyan Sect, Taiyin Sect, and Star God Alliance, as well as the neutral Zhenyang Sect and Yuqing Sect.

All the power in this starry sky, under the coordination of an invisible will, unfolds steadily and firmly like the undercurrents of the deep sea, ensuring that it can occupy a favorable position in the upcoming changes.
