There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 582 A little debate

Wang Ping met Zi Luan's gaze and was about to speak when Zi Luan continued, "Daoyou, it has been more than 150 years since you were in seclusion this time. Do you have any feelings?"

“I’m quite touched!”

Wang Ping subconsciously adjusted his collar while answering.

Zi Luan watched Wang Ping's actions, showing his characteristic smile, and said: "Do you know that this is just the beginning? In the next thousand years, you will watch the people you care about pass away one by one."

Wang Ping's mind flashed with the image of Taoist Yu Cheng. He then suppressed his annoyance and responded, "That will happen a thousand years from now. Everyone knows that they will die in the future. It's impossible for them to commit suicide now, right?"

Zi Luan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"What's so funny?" Wang Ping asked seriously.

Zi Luan saw Wang Ping's serious expression and stopped laughing. After staring at Wang Ping for a few breaths, he lowered his head to adjust the wide sleeves of his Taoist robe and asked in a low voice, "Do you have the secret method of the lower part of the fourth volume of Tai Yan Fu Lu?"

Wang Ping chuckled abruptly and asked, "Do you think I have it, fellow Daoist?"

"Want to play a guessing game with me?"

"Ha ha!"

Wang Ping laughed and said, "Didn't I find the hiding place of Daoist Xiu Yu before I went into seclusion? From his remaining spiritual consciousness, I got the secret method of the lower part of the fourth volume of Tai Yan Talisman, and two other gadgets."

"That's all? It's such a pity. Xiuyu's truly valuable secret technique is the body technique passed down to him by his master. This secret technique allows him to separate a spiritual consciousness every hundred years. He often uses this spiritual consciousness to try to advance in order to calculate the success rate of reaching the fourth realm."

Zi Luan returned to the state that Wang Ping was familiar with, and said with his usual smile: "I have secretly sabotaged it several times, intending to figure out this secret method, but unfortunately I have gained nothing so far."

"From your tone, it seems like you're still worried?"

"He is always a calamity when he is alive. Aren't you afraid that he will suddenly appear and disrupt your promotion plan?"

"Do you know his whereabouts?"

A dark green crystal appeared in Zi Luan's projected hand. He handed the crystal to Wang Ping and said, "When he was planning to go to the capital, I was in the Six Hearts Sect when he was punished to face the wall. He was on guard against the master, but he missed me!"

He smiled with some pride at this time, "This is the part of his soul that was separated from him, and his body was shattered by me long ago!"

Wang Ping stared at the crystal. Yu Lian said in his spiritual sea: "According to what he said, when you were planning to assassinate Xiu Yu, he had actually killed Xiu Yu, but he didn't say a word."

"Fellow Daoist, please don't misunderstand..." Zi Luan maintained his smile and said, "The reason why I didn't tell you in advance was because I was afraid that Xiu Yu would have other means, because no one knows how many souls he has separated over the years."

"Hehe..." Wang Ping chuckled and said, "What if this is Xiu Yu's real way to escape?" Zi Luan said nonchalantly, "With the soul I captured, the body that you destroyed in Shangjing City, and the soul that he found on his own, even if he has a real way to escape, he will never threaten you or me again in this life. If this is the way to escape, why not let him escape?"

Wang Ping was silent for a few breaths, then looked at Zi Luan and said, "I didn't expect you would also consider the feelings of fellow apprentices."

This is naked sarcasm.

Zi Luan was not annoyed. He smiled and let it go. He then changed the subject and said, "Let's go back to the question we asked earlier. Are you really ready to advance to the fourth realm? Don't rush to answer me. Think about it carefully. Your master has devoted his entire life to Qianmu Temple. Why don't you leave a successor behind? You should understand that the fourth realm is a life-or-death struggle!"

Yu Lian lay on Wang Ping's shoulder. When she heard the words, her body kept entwining with him. She looked like she was ready to pounce on Zi Luan at any time. She communicated with Wang Ping in her spiritual sea: "This man is still as annoying as before!"

Wang Ping looked at the smiling Zi Luan, and his mood calmed down. Then he smiled like Zi Luan and said, "I have my own arrangements. Besides, the promotion to the fourth realm is not a matter of one or two days. How did you know that I can't leave one or two successors during this period of time?"

"Oh, I forgot that Master once asked Xuan Ling to join your sect. If he practiced, I think he would have reached the third level soon. But this person is too cold-tempered. Many things..."

"Daoyou!" Wang Ping interrupted, "Our alliance will only benefit us. Why do you want to disgust me on purpose?"

Zi Luan stopped smiling when he heard this, then stood up and clasped his fists towards Wang Ping, saying, "Daoyou, you misunderstood. I just wanted to tell you what you will really face in the future. I was just talking about it at the moment, but you are a little impatient. If you really encounter it, how will you deal with it?"

This question stumped Wang Ping.

Yu Lian said in the spiritual sea: "He is just making up his mind, you don't have to take it too seriously!"

Zi Luan continued, "It has been more than a thousand years since I entered the country. I have accepted many geniuses as my disciples, but none of them have been able to successfully advance to the third level. When you see them fail to advance one by one, you will understand why I say this."

Wang Ping straightened up upon hearing this, clasped his fists and returned the greeting, "Thank you for your reminder, fellow Taoist. I will make my own decision!"

Yu Lian added, "This man likes to fool other people's lives, not even his apprentice. He is suspicious all day long and has a deep evil taste. I guess the apprentice he taught is not very good, so it is normal that he cannot cultivate to the third level. We are different. Although Xiao Zhu entered the sect very late, she has a firm will, meticulous thoughts, and a strong soul. Sooner or later, she will be promoted to the third level."

Although these words were just consolation, Wang Ping felt very happy listening to them.

Zi Luan didn't know what Yu Lian said in Tonghai. He looked at Wang Ping's calm expression and clasped his fists again and said, "In that case, I won't say anything more. This time I contacted you, first, to congratulate you on your great improvement in cultivation, and second, to apologize. During your retreat, due to my wrong judgment, the cultivation world in the south is now in disarray."

"The times are like this, so don't worry, fellow Daoist. This situation is not a big deal. Maybe in the next fifty years, it will be a completely different scene." If Wang Ping had just traveled through time, he might have angered the innocent people, but now he has experienced hundreds of years and witnessed the events of Zhenyang Mountain and Shangjing City, so he is less sentimental.

However, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart about the difficulties of the world. This was due to his personality and the compassion in his memories of his past life, but that was all.

After Wang Ping finished speaking, he cleared his mind of unnecessary thoughts and asked, "Where are Daoist Fellow Wu and Daoist Fellow Gan?"

As soon as he finished speaking, two figures appeared beside him. One of them was Wu Quan, but Wang Ping did not recognize the other. Zi Luan immediately explained, "Daoist Gan Xing failed in his attempt to ascend to the highest rank 20 years ago, and died less than two years later. This is Gan Xing's adopted son Gan Qi."
