There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Ao Hong's proposal was unexpected to Wang Ping, but also reasonable.

Unexpectedly, Wang Ping did not think Ao Hong was a radical person, even though he acted impulsive and brainless, and he had no reason to be so radical. It made sense because the Yuqing Sect was a good target.

After Ao Hong finished speaking his thoughts, Wang Ping picked up his glass and drank to hide the change in his eyes. Having seen too many things in the cultivation world, he didn't quite believe that Ao Hong would express his inner thoughts so straightforwardly.

Take Zi Luan for example. Wang Ping never understood Zi Luan’s true thoughts until he disappeared, and he still doesn’t understand them now.

For example, Wang Ping himself, he actually had plans to plot against the Yuqing Sect in his heart.

This is not because he is arrogant, but the result of weighing the pros and cons. He currently has the Zhenyang Sect as an ally, and he holds the second seat in the Taoist Palace. He also has the orders of the True Lords as a tiger skin, and uses the Yuqing Sect as a breakthrough point. It should not be difficult for him to complete the tasks assigned by the True Lords.

Moreover, he also needs to plan this matter to integrate the 'Heaven-Covering Talisman'. He believes that as long as he can plan this matter well, the integration progress of the 'Heaven-Covering Talisman' will increase significantly.

But despite this, Wang Ping would never speak out his inner thoughts.

Ao Hong looked at Wang Ping who still hadn't expressed his opinion. He picked up a black piece and looked down at the chessboard. He said, "Of course, we are just doing our job. Even if the Yuqing Sect really splits in the future, it will definitely have nothing to do with us."

He made a move and then looked up at Wang Ping. "You don't have to worry too much. The state of the True Lord of Yuqing Sect is very delicate, and the Lords of the Palaces are not united."

He pointed at Wang Ping and then at himself with his right hand. "You are also a lord now, and I am a fourth-level cultivator of Linshui Prefecture and the son of the Dragon Lord. As long as you and I join forces and do not touch the core interests of the True Lord of Yuqing Sect, who else in this world is worthy of our fear?"

This is true. Wang Ping is a cultivator of the fourth realm of Xuanmen, and is also a lord of the mansion canonized by the True Lords. He can currently be regarded as the ancestor of the Taiyan Sect.

With his current identities, even if he were to confront the Lord of the Jade Purity Sect head-on, as long as he did not seek death by touching the Lord's interests, he would basically not have to worry about his life. What's more, he has the person in front of him to lead the charge.

Of course, with his current level of cultivation, there would be very few places where he could personally take action. If he really had to take action himself, it would be a catastrophe.

"What can you get by doing this?" Wang Ping asked, staring into Ao Hong's eyes.

Ao Hong was stunned at first, then he chuckled and said, "My third brother and Yuqing's Zixuan Mansion Lord are allies. My ultimate goal is my third brother, and he is blocking my way."

"You seem so confident that I will cooperate with you!"

Wang Ping dropped the chess piece in his hand.

Ao Hong laughed happily this time, and it seemed to be a laugh from the heart. After laughing, he said, "I know you must have owed a lot of debts for this promotion. You have more karma than the rest of us, especially the karma of Yuanwu Zhenjun, and he... We have just talked about him, so you, as a vanguard, must do things, instead of just pretending like others."

Wang Ping still did not express his attitude after hearing this, but he asked: "Do you have any specific plans?"

"What plan do you want? We just need to add fuel to the fire. I'll contact the people from Taiyin Sect, and you can contact the people from Day One, or the orthodox descendants who are trustworthy in Yuqing Sect."

Ao Hong warned again after he finished speaking: "In the early stage, it is best for you and I not to get involved at all. It just so happens that you are the chief now, so you can start with those missing star gods. This is also what Yuanwu Zhenjun is happy to see."

As he spoke, he picked up the wine jar beside him, stood up, stared at Wang Ping and added: "Only you and I know about this. If you tell anyone, I won't admit it."

He did not wait for Wang Ping to express his opinion. After saying this, he held the jar of wine and turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky.

Wang Ping still sat quietly, finishing the remaining chess game alone. When the game ended, the sky had already dimmed. The battle in the square at the foot of the mountain had ended for the day. Disciples from various factions walked together in groups of three or four, discussing their cultivation experiences with each other.

"It's a good opportunity..."

He talked to himself as he arranged the chess pieces.

However, this noble young man Ao Hong only saw what was happening above, but not what was happening below. True Lord Yuanwu not only asked him to supervise the old seniors, but also to train newcomers in order to maintain spiritual stability.

That is to say, if the old predecessors passed away, the newcomers must be promoted to the fourth realm within the specified time. At least when new vacancies become available, the names of competitors from each faction must be reported, and at least someone must be promoted to the true spirit state, just like Wen Yang.

“It is indeed a time of change!”

Wang Ping whispered again.

As time came to the sixth millennium of the rise of humanity, most of the old generation of fourth-level cultivators were on the verge of death, while most of the new generation of cultivators had perfected the third level and were eagerly waiting for new vacancies to appear.

"Oooooh~"

At this time, Yu Lian's cheering voice rang out. Wang Ping looked up and saw Yu Lian turning and moving under the clouds. The serious expression on his face faded a little.

"Meow~"

The calico cat woke up from the nearby branch, stepped on the auspicious clouds and landed on the pavilion, calling out to the rain lotus in the sky.

After Yu Lian had enough fun, she turned into a stream of light and landed next to the pavilion. She swung her tail to try to sweep at the calico cat, but the cat dodged it easily.

"Is the dragon gone?"

Yu Lian noticed the cheering calico cat and realized that Ao Hong might have left.

She flew down from the sky, glanced at the pavilion, and then went to play with the calico cat. After playing for a while, she flew to the river at the foot of the mountain to catch fish and shrimp.

Wang Ping walked back to the pavilion and took out the communication token of the second seat.

The next moment, he entered the projection hall. The hall was empty. Wang Ping came here to look through all the four-realm cultivators registered in the Taoist Palace.

Following the sign, he quickly found the file he wanted.

Among the five Xuanmen sects and the two Tianmen sects, except for the Yuqing Sect which clearly records six fourth-level cultivators, the other sects except the Taiyan Sect have five fourth-level cultivators. Among them, the Zhenyang Sect also has two magic tools with fourth-level true spirits. The archives show that the Zhenyang Sect includes the 'First Day', the First Sect and the Sun Sect.

The Taiyan Sect only has four fourth-level cultivators, including Wang Ping and Cheng Xi, the new owner of the Nanhai Taoist Temple. The next ones are Taoist Chongxing and Taoist Miaoqing who are on the front line.

"You guys really just keep taking advantage of the Taiyan Sect!"

Wang Ping whispered softly, "You have always said that the inheritance of the Southern Taiyan is special. Is it because if the inheritance here is cut off, the Taiyan Sect will also be gone?"

There are only four fourth-level cultivators in Taiyan Sect, and they actually kicked out Taoist Chongxing before Wang Ping was promoted. Now there is only Cheng Xi left, who is a fourth-level cultivator in a half-wasted state.

"If I fail to get promoted this time, will the inheritance of Taiyan Sect really be interrupted? Or will it fall into the hands of other people?" Wang Ping felt scared when he thought of this.

Afterwards, he looked through the four-realm monks registered with the Star God Alliance.

The Star God Alliance has a total of forty-three fourth-level cultivators, which is more than the number of Xuanmen and Tianmen combined. However, seven of them are missing. Together with the rebellious Wei Kong, the Star God Alliance can only mobilize thirty-five fourth-level cultivators.

Thirty of these thirty-five are on the front line all year round, and the remaining five are stationed in various locations in Zhongzhou, Xizhou and Dongzhou. Wang Ping saw Min Youdao, who came to help when Lord Xiaoshan was promoted, on this list. He is currently on the front line.

It was a pity that the four realm star gods before rebellion and disappearance were only registered, and there was no personal file, otherwise he really wanted to look through Min You's personal file to find some clues about Xiaoshan Mansion Lord. Xiaoshan Mansion Lord was a very contradictory person in Wang Ping's personal eyes, but no matter what, it was undeniable that Xiaoshan Mansion Lord supported him. When Wang Ping was promoted to the third realm, Xiaoshan Mansion Lord promoted him to the pacification envoy of Nanlin Road, allowing him to obtain sufficient resources and reputation in a short time, which made his cultivation path so smooth.

Along the way, before he reached the second realm, he relied on his master, and after the second realm, he relied on Lord Xiaoshan in many places.

The disturbing things just flashed by. Finally, Wang Ping took out the files of the eight missing and rebellious Four Realm Star Gods, memorized them and left the projection hall. Then he took out a blank paper from the storage bag and used the wood spirit to copy the files of the eight star gods.

"You haven't talked to your disciples for so long since you were promoted. Isn't it time for you to meet up with many of them?" Yu Lian finished playing with the calico cat, Teng Yun came over and landed on Wang Ping's shoulder and said to Wang Ping.

Wang Ping raised his eyelids and first glanced at the calico cat tearing at the fish in the pile of spiritual herbs outside, and said, "After the fight in the front hall is over, I will talk to them. But now, I have to show my attitude."

"What attitude?"

Yulian asked curiously.

Wang Ping reached out and gently stroked Yu Lian's head, saying, "We can sit in the current position in exchange for the promise of the future, so once we sit in the position, we have to do things. Not doing things and doing things are two different concepts. Not doing things is a problem of attitude, and doing things but not completing them is a problem of ability."

Yu Lian thought for a moment and said, "Attitude is more important than ability?"

"Correct!"

"You're a genius, how come you can't get anything done?"

"He's a young genius, it's normal for him to make mistakes occasionally. Besides, practicing and doing things are two completely different things!"

As Wang Ping spoke, he took out a file.

It's Wei Kong's file.

Yu Lian stretched her neck, and the halo emitted by her golden vertical pupils fell on the portrait described in the archives. It was a very young face, and very handsome. He was from Dongzhou, with short golden-gray hair, a higher nose bridge than the people from Zhongzhou, gray-blue eyes, and a silver earring in his left ear.

Wei Kong was born in a wealthy family of the Dongzhou Business Alliance, but he was just an inconspicuous child in the family. Perhaps influenced by the extreme justice of "The First Day", he killed a thief with his own hands when he was thirteen years old. He was then spotted by the A09th Battalion of the Star God Alliance and officially became a member of the Star God Alliance.

Afterwards, his life was smooth sailing. He practiced Qi, cleansed his marrow, built his foundation, and integrated the Star God Core. The ability of his Star God Core was gravity crushing, an ability with extremely strong combat power.

After merging with the Star God Kexin, he went to serve on the front line. During his service, he was promoted to the second realm, the third realm, and finally the fourth realm. He was assigned to the 78th Battalion B as the brigade commander, commanding a battalion of monks to resist the extraterritorial monsters.

However, not long after this, he led his troops to forcibly occupy the transfer array where the defense zone of Battalion B78 was located, and led his troops to teleport back to the outskirts of the Moon Base. When he tried to destroy the transfer array, he was repelled by a Fourth Realm Star God who came, and then led the remnants to disappear into the vast starry sky.

Later, according to the narration of the fourth-level star god who surrounded him, Wei Kong used a magic weapon to open up a passage in the void to escape.

After Wang Ping finished reading Wei Kong's file, energy fluctuations came from the communication token. It was Man Su, one of the nine second seats in the Taoist Palace. He sent the message for two things. One was to remind Wang Ping to send his disciples to assist him in searching for Wei Kong. The other was to ask Wang Ping when he would go to visit Taoist Chongxing. He would come to Qianmu Temple to go together.

He is also an impatient person. It should be said that most of the monks returning from the front lines are impatient. This is considered an advantage. Anything in their hands will be done as soon as possible.

"You are so busy, what's the matter?"

Yu Lian asked.

Wang Ping told Yu Lian about the matter as if he was just chatting, and then asked, "Who do you think should be sent to search for Wei Kong?"

Yu Lian tilted her head and thought for a while. "The former commander of the Weiwei, Leng Kezhen, and Xiu Yu's eldest disciple Qingjiang, I saw them in the square just now. They have both been promoted to the third realm. It will be enough to transfer some second realm cultivators from the southern cultivation world."

"Haha~"

Wang Ping laughed, "You are good at selecting people. You know that once they accept this mission, they may have to deal with monsters from other regions for the rest of their lives."

“That’s not a bad thing for them!”

Yu Lian responded softly.

Wang Ping nodded thoughtfully. The candidate in his mind was Leng Kezhen. As for Qingjiang, he had actually forgotten about this person. The status of these two people in the southern cultivation world was a bit awkward, or it could be said that they were a bit awkward in the entire cultivation world. They were like rootless duckweed and could only rely on Qianmu Temple to survive.

"Have you noticed that there is an aura in Leng Kezhen's body that doesn't belong to him!"

Wang Ping's soul swept across the entire Qianmu Temple and locked onto Leng Kezhen's breath in just an instant.

Yu Lian said indifferently, "I knew it the first time I saw him. It was the aura of the magic weapon formation of Qiu Wang, the leader of the Single Blade Sect. But I didn't feel any obvious backlash. This at least shows that Qiu Wang voluntarily handed over his magic weapon formation to Leng Kezhen."

Wang Ping nodded, agreeing with this statement.

Then, he took out the handwritten letter that Taoist Chongxing had asked Li Miaolin to send to him. What he did not tell Ao Hong was that there was a meeting address in the letter.

Wang Ping's eyes fell on the address on the letter for a moment, and then an imperceptible wood spirit emerged and crushed the letter.

"You're going to see him?"

"Yes, but I don't have to go there myself."

"What do you mean?"

"I am a monk of Taiyan!"

Wang Ping summoned the 'Dongtian Mirror', and then his sight shifted, and in a blink of an eye he arrived at the underground cave of Qianmu Mountain. When Qianmu Mountain was moved, the land was moved directly. Although the underground river was replanned, the underground cave of Qianmu Mountain did not change.

Wang Ping came to the underground cave and sat on the cloud bed. His consciousness was connected to the "Dongtian Mirror". Soon, it locked onto a puppet he had placed in Shangjing City.

Go to the capital.

When the Datong Kingdom was founded, its capital was set here.

The current Shangjing City is divided into three urban areas. The largest is the South City, located south of the Nong River, where most ordinary people live; the North City is where the relatives of officials from various departments in the capital and the royal family live, and it is subdivided into twelve cities; further north is the Yong'an Palace, which is also an urban area, which is an area dedicated to the emperor's residence and officials' work.

The three areas are connected by Yong'an Avenue in the middle of the city, and there are twelve palace gates on the four city walls connecting the six main streets.

Nancheng District.

In the inner hall of an inn called Pingwang Inn, the owner, who was over fifty years old, was taking a break while smoking welding cigarettes. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he stood up quickly as if he remembered something, skillfully tapped his pipe on the corner of the table, and then pushed the door open and walked out.

This is naturally Wang Ping’s puppet!
As a Taiyan monk, if you want to do something secret, puppets are the best helpers. (End of this chapter)
