There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

This third-level Star God obviously wanted to self-destruct. The black energy in his body surged and gathered towards the Star God core in his body. When the energy was about to be overloaded, his surging aura suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"you…"

He looked at Wang Ping with resentful eyes, and then lost all hope.

Wang Ping just used the 'Borrowed Luck Talisman' and the 'Heaven-Covering Talisman' to easily cut off his vitality in this world. Without his vitality, those surging energies would have no possibility of gathering. Doing so could preserve the Star God core and memories in his body.

"His memory will soon be gone!"

Wang Ping reminded Bu Qiong, while setting his eyes on the half body of the dead star god. He possessed something that the cultivators in Zhongzhou did not have, that is, the worship of a certain thing or object, or he had something more important to do than his own life.

Bu Qiong was silent for a few breaths before she used the Soul Searching Technique to explore the memory of this Star God. Finally, she shook her head regretfully and said, "He used his last instinct to clear his memory before he died."

“That requires enough faith!”

Wang Ping raised his eyebrows and said.

Bu Qiong whispered: "The alliance has enough faith in every battle!"

As she spoke, she stretched out her left hand, and stabbed it into the Star God monk's chest like a knife, taking out the Star God core in the chest. Then that half of the body seemed to turn into a pile of metal debris and dissipated in the wind.

Wang Ping looked at the Star God Core in Bu Qiong's hand, and couldn't help but think of his original plan to make a puppet according to the body structure of his disciple Zhao Yuer, and transfer the core of the puppet to the heart, but he had never found a suitable heart. Now he looked at the Star God Core in Bu Qiong's hand and his heart moved.

"Fellow Daoist, are you interested in it?"

When Bu Qiong turned around to speak, she saw Wang Ping's expression and asked.

Wang Ping told the truth.

"Since you need it, then take it. However, the Star God Core cannot be reused forever. It has its own energy source. If you cannot successfully fuse it before its energy is exhausted, then it will become waste."

"Thank you!"

Wang Ping took the core that Bu Qiong handed over.

Yu Lian immediately slid down Wang Ping's arm and wrapped around Wang Ping's wrist, so that she could observe the Star God Core more closely. Then she said in Wang Ping's mind, "It has a faint power. Its aura is similar to your 'Heavenly Talisman'. It seems to have some resonance with the universe."

However, when Wang Ping's soul probed into the core, he was stunned, because he found that this thing was a very sci-fi product. It used the basic rules of the universe to perform calculations in order to achieve the purpose of controlling a certain special force.

After a few breaths, a light screen panel popped up in front of Wang Ping:
[Star Resonator: An unknown civilization created an auxiliary tool to more quickly develop the new galaxies they discovered, imitating the magical spells born from the practice of the Five Elements Yin and Yang Secret Method. Later, it evolved into a practice system.]

【1. Master the basic physical laws of the universe (progress 1/100).】

[2. Use basic physical rules to calculate the formation process of spells.]

【3. Simulate the process of spell formation and calculate the optimal solution.】

[4. Build a magic model that can resonate with the rules of the universe, then place the model under the starry sky and wait for it to capture a certain rule of the universe.]

【Note 1: Do not manually intervene in any capture process. 】

[Note 2: The simulation model diagram requires sufficient knowledge reserves (progress 0/100). ]

After Wang Ping read the news on the light screen panel, what immediately came to his mind were the glorious civilizations he saw when he merged with the locust tree spirit. That was also the world of practitioners, but the civilizations in those worlds had studied the process of practice to the extreme.

Unfortunately, such a civilization has been destroyed!

"what happened to you?"

Yu Lian's voice rang in Wang Ping's ears.

Wang Ping chuckled in his heart and put away the Star God Core in his hand. Bu Qiong was in a dark state at this time, controlling the boundless darkness in the universe to help her check the situation of the surrounding starry sky.

Ao Hong looked at the foreign object he had just sealed with great interest. He even dug out a piece of flesh from the tumor and squeezed it in his hand. Noticing Wang Ping's gaze, he smiled and said, "It's very close to human flesh, but it's only close. It has no muscles and meridians, so it can only be a disgusting tumor."

"Perhaps after it grows for a while, it will be able to generate a real body?"

Yu Lian whispered.

Ao Hong's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he looked at Yu Lian and said, "Good idea!" After that, he put away the tumor sealed by the ice crystal, looking eager to try.

Bu Qiong returned to his normal state, looked at Wang Ping and Ao Hong and said, "There is no trace of other cultivators. It seems that there is only one scout. But they dared to set their sights on the Moon Base. They must have something to rely on."

"Let's go back first. Leave this matter to me. I will send my disciples to investigate carefully."

She waved her hand and flew towards the moon.

Wang Ping and Ao Hong naturally followed.

There was no change in the Moon Station. After clearing out the extraterritorial objects, the monks in the station returned to their previous state. Only Pang Xu was there to greet the three of them below the atmosphere.

The rest is routine.

A quarter of an hour later, Wang Ping and others left the Moon along the same route.

When the three of them arrived at the outer space of Zhongzhou Star, Wang Ping suddenly asked, "What does the edge of this starry sky look like?"

Bu Qiong first fell into a brief recollection, and then quickly said: "First, there are meteorites with no end in sight. At the end of the meteorite belt is darkness, a darkness with no end."

She paused for a moment before continuing, "Those meteorites drifted over from other starry skies. Our starry sky seems to have some kind of suction force that absorbs matter from other starry skies. Things from outside the domain are just one of them."

Wang Ping nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Is the starry sky outside only dark?"

Bu Qiong looked at Wang Ping carefully and replied, "Some stars twinkle occasionally. I know what you are thinking. Those stars may be just like our starry sky, but we cannot detect them with our abilities. We cannot even penetrate the invisible tension outside this starry sky!"

"Most of those things outside the domain are also blocked outside the invisible tension..." She stopped here, sighed and said: "We have a lot of speculations, but they are all in vain because they can only be speculations. If you are interested, you can take some time to go to the edge of the starry sky to check it out yourself."

Wang Ping nodded, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for clearing up my doubts!" ​​"You're welcome, see you later!"

Bu Qiong bowed to Wang Ping and Ao Hong, then turned into a dark stream of light and merged with the atmosphere, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Ao Hong looked at Wang Ping and said with a smile: "Do you want to go to my place or to your dojo?"

"Come to my dojo."

Wang Ping looked at the sun emerging from the edge of the planet, and extended an invitation to Ao Hong in the sunlight.

Afterwards, the two of them silently sank into the atmosphere, and a moment later landed on the edge of the garden of the dojo on the top of the mountain. At this moment, the sky was already bright.

"Zhongzhou is still the best!"

Ao Hong stood on the edge of the cliff, gazing at the beauty of the Qianmuguan mountains and feeling the laughter of the disciples in the square below.

Wang Ping walked to Ao Hong's side, looked at the colorful world in front of him, and compared it with the world of outer space, and suddenly felt a sense of disparity.

"I'll go down and take a look!"

Yu Lian caught Shen Xiaozhu's breath, greeted Wang Ping, and turned into a stream of light and flew towards the square at the foot of the mountain.

Wang Ping looked at Yu Lian's leaving figure and said, "Now, fellow Taoist, can you tell me what you think?"

"Haha~"

Ao Hong smiled and asked, "Fellow Daoist, you have been through the Second Meeting and have taken a walk on the moon. What do you think is the main contradiction in the cultivation world now?"

"contradiction?"

"Yes, contradictions. Any organizational structure has contradictions. The reason why they established the Dao Palace is because it can solve contradictions to a certain extent, but some contradictions cannot be eliminated."

Ao Hong raised his head and looked up at the sky. "Since I was born, I have known about the existence of the True Lords and that they control the world. At that time, I thought they were the goal of my practice. But now, they seem to have become an obstacle to my practice."

After he said this, he looked at Wang Ping, who seemed to have not heard him and remained silent.

"Lord Xiaoshan is the best example. Who do you think is pushing for his promotion? You should have the answer in your mind. That's right, it's True Lord Yuanwu. He is a very contradictory person. You see, he is pushing for Lord Xiaoshan's promotion, which is obviously shaking the status of the True Lords. However, he is also the agent of the True Lords in this world!"

Ao Hong's tone was very strange, as if in his eyes, only the fifth-level cultivators of Xuanmen and Tianmen could be called True Lords, and others like Yuanwu True Lord were not worthy of being called True Lords.

Wang Ping could only remain silent in the face of Ao Hong's words, because he had no one like Long Jun to protect him.

Ao Hong also fell silent.

The two men stared silently at the fighting arena in the square below. At the moment, a Qigong practitioner from the Zhenyang Sect was defending the arena. He had defeated several people who came up to challenge him and won cheers from the nearby monks. He was very proud of himself and while accepting people's cheers, he provoked other Qigong practitioners.

Ao Hong seemed to be focusing on the Qigong practitioner from the Zhenyang Sect at the moment. When another Qigong practitioner came up to challenge him, Ao Hong smiled and said, "I like the indomitable aura he showed just now."

He turned his head and looked at Wang Ping, "You lack such momentum!"

Wang Ping remained noncommittal. He had the courage to do so, but that required that he could see the road ahead. Otherwise, he would rather wait a little longer.

"You don't seem to care about my evaluation." Ao Hong seemed to see through Wang Ping's thoughts and said with a smile: "To move forward courageously means to move forward even if there is no road ahead, rather than waiting for a road to appear before moving forward courageously."

Wang Ping turned to look at Ao Hong and asked, "Are you planning to find a way out on your own?"

Ao Hong was stunned when he heard this, then he burst into laughter and said, "You should understand what I mean. Why bother to take advantage of this loophole? All the plans and calculations in this world must be in line with the general trend, just like the promotion of Lord Xiaoshan. Everything he did before was in line with the general trend, but in the end, for some reason..."

He shook his head, "It's useless to talk too much about this, let's just talk about what we need right now..." He walked into the pavilion next to him, picked up a black piece and put it down, saying, "Another jar of your good wine."

Wang Ping did not say anything. He made a hand gesture with his left hand. After a few breaths, a branch of a spiritual tree carrying a jar of yellow wine was placed on the stone table in the middle of the pavilion.

"The biggest conflict in the cultivation world right now is not about the minor fights in Zhongzhou, but about the attitude towards fighting against things from outside the domain. The Star God Alliance has only been fighting against things from outside the domain for more than 7,000 years. I guess that the True Lords wanted to achieve some purpose by clearing out things from outside the domain at first, but in the blink of an eye, 7,000 years have passed and nothing has changed in this world. Their guess, or experiment, seems to have failed."

Ao Hong said quickly as he unsealed the wine jar, "If there is no change, then change must be made. Some people want to change, but some are stubborn. Of course, most people don't care. They have lived too long, so long that they have lost interest in most things."

"Well, good wine!"

After praising him, he looked at Wang Ping and urged him, "It's your turn now."

Wang Ping picked up the white piece and put it down, then picked up the wine poured for him by Ao Hong and drank it in one gulp. His rice wine was made from top-quality glutinous rice and was aged for hundreds of years. It had an indescribable milky aroma and sweetness that was fascinating.

"This trip to the moon made me realize that their conflict is actually very deep. Look at Daoist Bu Qiong. She seems to be the one who upholds tradition the most, but she reveals her dissatisfaction with the status quo intentionally or unintentionally. She upholds tradition because she is a beneficiary of tradition, but her road has come to an end. This is her dissatisfaction with the status quo."

"Then there's the defected Wei Kong. He is the most common thought among the lower-level cultivators of the Star God Alliance. Otherwise, do you think he could have passed through the transfer array unimpeded to the vicinity of the moon? If he hadn't wanted to destroy the transfer array later, he might still be secretly protected by someone!"

Ao Hong picked up a black piece and dropped it quickly, then stared at Wang Ping and said, "Why does Yuanwu Zhenjun want us to be his vanguard and encourage those old seniors to come out? You see he is righteous, but in fact he is very dirty inside!"

Wang Ping already had similar guesses in his mind. After attending a second-chair meeting and then taking a trip to the moon, his guesses had been magnified and now were pointed out by Ao Hong.

Yuanwu Zhenjun’s goal is not to resolve conflicts, but to intensify conflicts or even trigger more conflicts!

Of course, Wang Ping would not say this, and he was only touching the surface now. Perhaps the real situation was not what he guessed.

Ao Hong looked at Wang Ping who didn't react at all, picked up the wine glass and changed the subject with a smile: "We can't influence what Yuanwu Zhenjun thinks and does. Not only can we not influence him, but we have to do it beautifully for him. Moreover, we can't participate in this matter. At most, we can be bystanders. We just need to remember that in this matter, we are all pawns, pawns who follow orders!"

This person looks very generous, but his words are confusing.

Wang Ping then placed a chess piece. He seemed to not care at all about what they were talking about and waited quietly for Ao Hong to express his thoughts.

"You and I are new to the Dao Palace. Since they want us to be their pawns, we can't let them make fun of us." After saying this, Ao Hong took out a soundproofing magic circle and activated it. He lowered his voice and said, "Yuqing Sect, how about it?"

Wang Ping looked up at Ao Hong after hearing this. He knew that Ao Hong meant to start with the old masters of Yuqing Sect! (End of this chapter)
