There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

(Some settings, just be aware of them, no need to memorize them, because they will be mentioned slowly later)
The heat was not a problem for Wang Ping and the others. After all, they had already left their flesh and blood bodies. It was Ao Hong who showed some displeasure on his face because of the incompatibility between water and fire.

"I can take over the Taoist temple here thanks to my being a disciple of the True Yang Sect." Pang Xu said this very modestly, and then invited the three people, saying: "The logs are stored on the third floor, please come this way."

He invited the three to go upstairs.

Bu Qiong gave way for a moment, and Ao Hong went up the stairs first, while Wang Ping let Bu Qiong walk in front.

The first thing you feel when you go up to the second floor is a cool breeze, followed by soft light. There are still no windows around, so the wind is brought by the Yuqing Sect's magic circle, and the light is also emitted by the magic circle.

"Stored here are old files from the past five hundred years. Most of the files older than five hundred years have been destroyed, and a few important files have been transferred to the alliance's headquarters!"

Pang Xu, who was the last to climb up, explained. Ao Hong casually picked up a bamboo slip from the shelf next to the stairwell and continued to walk up.

Yu Lian, who was lying on Wang Ping's shoulder, also rolled up a bamboo slip with her tail and started flipping through it. Wang Ping looked at it curiously. Inside were records of some observations of changes in outer space, and each record was signed.

Not long after he reached the stairwell on the third floor, Wang Ping saw clear sunlight shining through the gap in the stairwell. The sunlight here was different from that on the Zhongzhou continent. The sunlight on the Zhongzhou continent was dim and gentle, but the light here was very bright, the kind of clean and pure white light.

The bigger difference is that the place where the sunlight shines is very bright, but the shadow part that cannot be reached is pitch black, the kind of darkness where no light can be seen.

This phenomenon creates a world of black and white, and their clear boundaries make the dark yellow tones of the attic particularly eye-catching.

Where there is light, there are of course windows, and there are many windows. They are all open to let the light from outside in. On the wall where the windows intersect, there are wooden shelves, and on the shelves are densely packed bamboo slips.

These bamboo slips should be produced by the town. Each piece is twice as wide as the existing bamboo slips in Zhongzhou. Pang Xu, who finally climbed to the third floor, walked to a wooden rack while Wang Ping was observing the environment, picked up three bamboo slips and said, "The latest logs are recorded on them."

As he spoke, he placed the bamboo slips on a solid wooden table in the middle of the attic. The table was unpainted and had a dark yellow color. There were five armchairs placed next to it.

Ao Hong walked up to him rudely, put down the bamboo slips he was holding, picked up the bamboo slips on the table and started flipping through them. Wang Ping did the same. Yu Lian put down the bamboo slips wrapped in her tail, leaned her little head over, and flipped through them with Wang Ping.

The contents of the bamboo slips are basically records of daily inspections. They not only inspected the moon, but also some monitoring devices placed in outer space.

When Wang Ping was flipping through the bamboo slips, countless spiritual creatures in the world of inspiration shuttled between the attics. They ignored Wang Ping and others, which made them look like illusions created out of thin air by the fantasy world.

With Wang Ping and Ao Hong's cultivation, it only took a moment to read through the three bamboo slips. Then Ao Hong looked at Pang Xu and said, "The last record is that two days ago, the No. 3 monitoring device detected that there were creatures from outside the domain wandering towards the moon. How long will it take for them to arrive?"

"It should be in six hours!" The time Pang Xu gave was very precise.

"Fellow Daoist, are you interested in things from outside the domain?" Bu Qiong asked.

"I'm a little interested. It can breed demon soldiers. Can we capture it?" Ao Hong asked.

"Things from outside the domain that can breed demon soldiers are special. Let's put it this way. The initial state of things from outside the domain is the same, but they will change differently when they come into contact with spiritual substances. Moreover, they are different from us cultivators in that they have different levels of cultivation. Their initial forms are the same, but don't underestimate them because of this. Some of them are very special and will invade our memories or assimilate your body unconsciously if we are not careful."

Bu Qiong said in a warning tone: "They can also control the five elements of yin and yang and spiritual energy to perform some strange methods like the Xuanmen and Tianmen monks. Generally speaking, they can be defeated by a Qigong practitioner, but sometimes they can assimilate a fourth-level cultivator." Wang Ping nodded slightly. The information was in the archives in the projection hall. He had read it when he was free, but looking at Ao Hong's appearance, he obviously didn't pay attention to those archives.

"So magical?"

Ao Hong's face showed even more interest.

Bu Qiong looked at Pang Xu beside him, who nodded in understanding and continued, "So if you encounter something from outside the domain, no matter how powerful it is, you must use all your strength to kill it!"

Ao Hong looked at Pang Xu and continued the previous topic: "You haven't told me yet, can you capture it?"

Pang Xu met Ao Hong's gaze, then lowered his head and said:

"In reply to the Seventh Prince, there are four forms of things from outside the domain. The first form we call wandering souls, which is also the original form of things from outside the domain. It is easiest to kill them. The second form is evolved from wandering souls, and has the attributes of the five elements of yin and yang. They are wandering souls that suddenly seem to have awakened and evolved by absorbing the five elements of yin and yang between heaven and earth. We call them earth souls, and they can breed magic soldiers."

"The third form is a life core that grows inside a wandering soul. That's right, it's the core of a star god fused with a star god, which we call a star soul. The fourth form rarely appears. Rumor has it that it's a new form that evolved from a true spirit absorbing a wandering soul. They also have strengths and weaknesses. The weak ones are weaker than wandering souls, and the strong ones are comparable to fourth-level cultivators. So the alliance has a rule that if you encounter this kind of out-of-domain thing, you must destroy it at all costs!"

Pang Xu's face flashed with memories, and he said, "We call this kind of out-of-domain thing a Great Soul. I heard that it was called a Heavenly Soul before, but the True Lords thought it was blasphemous, so they changed it to 'Great Soul'. I have served here since the Second Realm, and it has been more than 900 years. I have seen a powerful Great Soul. If the two brigade commanders of the alliance had not arrived in time, we might have to abandon our base on the moon."

After hearing these introductions, Ao Hong's interest was well restrained. He looked at Wang Ping, who seemed to have known all this for a long time, and asked, "Do you know this?"

"There's a record in the archives in the projection hall!"

"I always thought they were just decorations."

Ao Hong was stunned for a moment, then looked at Pang Xu and said, "There is no problem with the log. Take us to the luring magic circle and have a look."

He did not mention the matter of capturing things from outside the domain, but chose the next patrol.

Pang Xu nodded, "Of course, let's fly directly over."

As he spoke, he took out the token from his waist. This was the front line of the battle, and if he flew around in the air without indicating his identity, he would easily be mistaken for an invader.

Just as Wang Ping expected, the luring magic circle was on the dark high ground in the north.

The closer he got to this area, the more obvious the emotions of corruption, madness, and distortion he had sensed not long ago became. However, it was not enough to affect Wang Ping's mood. However, he felt very unhappy, just like an ordinary person would feel unhappy when walking next to a cesspool.

There are two second-level star god guards here. They are indifferent to the arrival of Wang Ping and others. They just confirm the identity cards they offer and then pay no more attention to them.

Soon, Wang Ping brought Yu Lian to the dark highlands. After his soul deliberately avoided those negative emotions, the first thing it sensed was a lot of sealing arrays. (End of this chapter)
