There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 635: Deciding the Common Ruler of the World

Wang Ping discovered the name of the Seventh Prince of Linshui Prefecture in the sacrificial list, which was not in the Daozang Hall before. The True Lord of Taiyan Sect was still the True Lord Huishan. There were two new Lords of the Prefecture, one was Li Miaolin's master Taoist Chongyuan, and the other was Taoist Zhongde.

This Taoist Zhongde was a Taiyan cultivator who had already passed away, and the ancestor of Taoist Chengxi's lineage. Wang Ping couldn't understand why they had to offer sacrifices to him, but he could only suppress this question and look for the answer himself.

Afterwards, hundreds of cultivators from the third realm began to build the altar in the order on the list. The first ones must be the two saints, followed by the True Lords of the five Xuanmen sects and the two Tianmen sects, then the demon clan and the star gods, and finally the Lords of the various palaces.

Wang Ping noticed that Yuanwu Zhenjun was ranked eighth this time, only behind the seven Zhenjuns of Xuanmen and Tianmen, while Longjun was ranked first among all Zhenjuns.

This worship activity was presided over by Wang Ping himself. In addition to hundreds of third-level cultivators who participated in the worship, there were more than 700 second-level cultivators who came from all over Zhongzhou, and thousands of cultivators who entered the country. The Qi cultivators almost occupied half of Zhonghui County.

When the voice of Wang Ping's prayer echoed between heaven and earth, everyone knelt down together. The city of millions of people was silent at this moment, connected with the aura of the Qianmuguan mountains, and seemed extremely solemn and dignified.

After the prayer, Wang Ping took the lead in performing the ritual of three kowtows and three bows.

At the end of the ceremony, Wang Ping also recited two Taoist scriptures in front of the altar on behalf of many monks. This was to show their resolve to the True Lords, to express their determination to pursue the Tao, and to acknowledge that the True Lords were the ancestors of Taoism.

After reciting the scriptures, other people came up one by one to pay homage to the True Lords, while Wang Ping stood on the left side as the guardian of the altar to witness it all.

This process lasted for half a month, because even the lowest-level Qigong practitioners could come to worship.

After the sacrifice, the next step is to select the remaining three, four, five, six and seven seats. This is a tedious process. Wang Ping changed the selection location to the Taoist Palace in Jinhuai City, and the sects of the twenty-one second-class chiefs of the third seat were responsible for it.

The bustling Qianmu Temple became deserted in just two days because everyone was eager to go to Jinhuai City to get a seat.

The front hall of Qianmu Temple.

Wang Ping sat on the left side of the Eight Immortals Table in the front, and then in order were Jiang Cun from Linshui Prefecture, Mingxin from Vajra Temple, Hua Yun from Zhenyang Sect, Liu Shuibin and Wu Quan from Diku Sect, Lian Ji from Taiyin Sect, Lu Shan from Jiuding Sect and Miaoyu, the representative of the Star God Alliance. That's right, the last of the nine permanent seats was from the Star God Alliance.

Eight representatives from the nine permanent seats were present. The Yuqing Sect did not show up from beginning to end this time. The Taiyin Sect had always wanted to kick them out of the Taoist Palace, but no one agreed.

"Today is the first regular meeting since the establishment of our Dao Palace. There are three topics in total..."

Jiang Cun presided over the gathering. He straightened his back and said seriously, "The first topic is to start building the communication equipment needed for the three seats and above in the Dao Palace. We have two plans. The first is to follow the practice of the Daozang Hall, each of us will be responsible for our own area, and then install the transformation array in the handover area."

Whether it is Xuanmen or Tianmen, they all have their own means of communication, and the principles are actually similar. The side doors all use communication jade cards because they cannot access the most basic five elements of yin and yang energy.

So Lu Shan frowned when he heard this and asked, "What about the second plan?"

"The second option is for the Dao Palace to arrange everything in a unified manner."

As expected, most people chose the first option, so Lu Shan didn't bother with it too much. If it really didn't work, he could ask others to build the communication device.

After the first topic was successfully passed, Jiang Jun said in a relaxed tone: "The second topic concerns Fellow Daoist Changqing, and is about the limitation and use of the special 'Power Pill'!"

At this time, Yu Lian came out from Wang Ping's sleeve, revealing her little head and looking at Jiang Cun. The reason why she was in the sleeve was because outsiders were not allowed to be present at the standing committee meeting.

"Fellow Daoist, are you sure that the 'Power Pill' you refine can limit the energy strength?" The calm voice of Taoist Hua Yun sounded. "That's for sure. So far, I have only tried to refine energy below the entry level, because the energy consumption above the entry level is too large. Unless you refine a specific 'Power Pill', it is not cost-effective!" Wang Ping answered affirmatively.

People actually have no resistance to the special 'power pills' because they have a way to make money through the special 'power pills'.

"Then we shall set a certain energy value, and then refine corresponding defense devices to sell?" Liu Shuibin from the underground cave gate was eager to try, and he looked like he was very short of money at the moment.

This proposal was quickly passed. After all, the people present were all from wealthy families and could spend all the money, no matter how much money they had. Perhaps everyone except Jiang Cun was usually worried about money.

Monk Mingxin of the Vajra Temple obviously wanted to propose some terms to restrict the "Power Pill", but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips because he found that other people had this idea but did not say it to his face.

This made him look up at Wang Ping who was sitting in the first seat. He remembered that the first time he saw this face, he was only at the second level of cultivation and he didn't even bother to pay attention to him at that time. But now, only a few hundred years later, this man had sat in front of him and it was his turn, and he didn't even bother to look at him.

“What a lucky life!”

He muttered to himself.

After discussing the details for another quarter of an hour, Jiang Cun mentioned the third thing: "The third topic is who should we choose to help fight for Zhongzhou's artifact?"

"The politics of Datong Marquisate is clear and honest, and the prince is deeply loved by the people. He can be in charge of the world's divine weapons!" Lu Shan spoke first, and he was not polite.

"Chu is a country of talented people and beautiful land. With hundreds of thousands of soldiers, it can also become the common ruler of the world!" This was what Jiang Cun said. The southeastern waters have now been merged with Chu, so he naturally hopes that Chu can control the artifact.

Now in Zhongzhou, there are only these two families who can compete with each other, so the following discussions of others will focus on Chu and Datong Marquisate.

Seeing that there was no result for a long time, Wu Quan, who had been silent, said, "Why not toss a coin to decide!"

Jiang Cun immediately became interested after hearing this, and looked at Wang Ping and asked, "What do you think?"

"I think it's okay!"

It was Monk Mingxin who spoke: "Everything depends on fate. Datonghou State is in the northwest, which is the upper side, so it is the front side. Chu State is in the south, which is the lower side, so let's just take it as the reverse side."

As he spoke, he took out a copper coin and threw it into the air.

Everyone present instantly turned their eyes to the copper coin. A moment later, just as the copper coin was about to fall to the ground, Wang Ping flicked his sleeves and used the wood spirit energy to grind the copper coin into powder.

Everyone else noticed when he took action, but no one stopped him.

"Fellow Daoist, do you disagree?" Jiang Cun asked.

"After all, they are the common rulers of the world and the supreme emperor of mankind. Such a childish joke is too humiliating for them. Since the Chu State and the Datong Marquisate have been elected, I think we should let them fight among themselves and we can just watch!"
