There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Observing the Dongzhou continent from above the clouds, most of it is covered by layers of mountains, as if the world is supported by these mountains.

There are a small number of plains in the central part of Dongzhou, and rivers crisscross the area, which is obviously a fertile land. There is a town every few dozen kilometers. Most of them are built on the rare peaks on the plains, and there are some fortresses around them for protection. It is obvious that there are wars here all year round.

According to the Dao Palace's archives, there should be the 'River Tribal Alliance' on the plain.

They are a loose alliance of dozens of settled tribal towns. They believe in the First Religion and are united externally, but there are frequent tribal wars internally. This makes the warlike spirit prevail within their alliance and they are rich in war experience. It is precisely because of this style that they occupy the large fertile land in the middle.

The mountains to the west are the Merchant Alliance. Although they are mountains upon mountains, the resources are extremely rich. The people here believe in the "First Day" and have extremely righteous ideas, but such ideas are only for the lower-class people. The rulers will use such ideas to rule their subjects or wage wars against foreign countries.

Therefore, although they seem to hate evil and hate evil, the war has never stopped, and most of them are internal wars. Their cities are scattered among the mountains, and the control of these cities by the top leaders of the Chamber of Commerce is actually very weak. The only ports on the eastern and western coastlines truly belong to the Chamber of Commerce.

On the east coast of the River Tribal Alliance, there is a small, peaceful alliance called the 'Eastern Alliance'. They believe in the 'Moon God' and often have messengers of the Moon God walking around the world, but they don't ask about anything in the world and just like to record some human events. Some monks of the Eastern Alliance can awaken the power of the Moon God, so even though they are very weak, no one dares to attack them.

The remaining north is full of mountains, just like the west. There are countless tribal gathering points between the mountains. There is no unified alliance here because most of the mountains are caves of Xuanmen monks.

However, there are more than a dozen cities on the western coastline. They are called the 'Western Alliance' and believe in the First Religion. These people, like those in the 'Eastern Alliance', are relatively gentle and rarely interfere in disputes in other places.

"This place is great, with beautiful scenery, many rivers, and there must be more fish and shrimp!"

The sound of Yu Lian echoed among the sea of ​​clouds.

Silent Mansu heard this and his voice rang out among the sea of ​​clouds: "For the people here, these beautiful scenery are useless and sometimes even bring them death."

This is true. The order in Dongzhou is very fragile. It is just enough to maintain spiritual order. It is still the earliest tribal civilization and does not even have national laws. Below is the ruling class of each tribe, who willfully launch wars and enslave the people. Above them are the high-ranking monks, and ordinary people are nothing but two-legged sheep in their eyes.

"Has no one thought about ending the conflict in thousands of years?" Wang Ping asked curiously.

"To end the disputes here, we must first resolve the religious issues of various sects. This is actually within the scope of the Taoist Palace's responsibilities. If you are willing to do this, I will fully support you." Man Su responded rationally.

"You seem to be more concerned about this continent, why don't you do it yourself?"

"I am a member of the Star God Alliance!"

While chatting, the two of them approached the coastal area of ​​central Dongzhou Continent. Through the clouds, they saw some cities along the coast. Most of their buildings were built with huge stones and looked like fortresses. This should be the territory of the River Kingdom. Outside these fortress-like cities, there were also large tracts of farmland. These farmlands were built with rammed earth walls at regular intervals, and a little further away were huge stone watchtowers.

When approaching the port, Wang Ping sensed that several souls were investigating. Yu Lian spoke in human language, "These people's investigation is full of malicious intent."

The next moment, several figures appeared above the clouds, and at the same time, a force that locked onto the secrets of heaven enveloped their area. This should be some kind of defensive formation of the town below.

Yu Lian's huge body suddenly stopped in the sea of ​​clouds. Wang Ping, who was standing above her, looked at Man Su, who had also stopped, and asked, "How do you usually deal with a situation like this?"

"The Dao Palace's order is useless here. They value the use of force the most. We just need to let them know that we are stronger than them!"

As soon as Man Su finished explaining, Yu Lian said impatiently: "There is a person who looks at me with greed, and he is a weak life form. Can I kill him?"

Wang Ping and Yu Lian were in tune with each other. Wang Ping looked in the direction Yu Lian was thinking and saw a middle-aged man in iron armor looking at Yu Lian with greed on his face. He was a cultivator who had merged with some kind of magic soldier. Half of his mind was crazy, which might be the reason why he couldn't control his emotions.

But he is only at the second level of cultivation, which means he is seeking death.

"If that's the case, then it's his fate!" Man Su's cold voice sounded.

Upon hearing this, Yu Lian said no more words and opened her mouth wide to exhale a breath of watery air. A flash of cold air flashed across the room. The leader of the opposite side subconsciously wanted to resist, but he soon found that his aura was locked, and then he was enveloped by a murderous intent that made him feel cold all over.

Then he felt a biting coldness. The half-crazy demon soldier behind him was completely frozen in his shocked gaze. He still retained a greedy expression when he was frozen, but soon his greedy expression turned into ice chips floating in the air along with his frozen body.

"Give Way!"

When Man Su's voice sounded, his figure flashed and he instantly landed in front of the people who were blocking the way ahead. Then, imperceptible gravity shocks appeared around him, causing the people blocking him to instantly lose the ability to stay in the air.

This is the destructive 'Gravity Crush' among the Star God's abilities. When Wang Ping was in the second realm, he encountered a challenge from Xiao Lingzi, the Taoist companion of Bai Zhuo, the leader of Baishui Sect. He used the 'Gravity Crush' ability.

Although everything Man Su did seemed cold, he was actually saving people. When the leader wanted to take action just now, he stopped him with murderous intent.

"We still have to get down to business."

He turned and looked at Wang Ping.

Wang Ping nodded when he heard this and called out "Yu Lian". Yu Lian immediately turned into a six-foot-long small body and landed on Wang Ping's shoulder.

"This person looks cold, but he is actually very passionate inside and is decisive in doing things. It's a pity that he is cultivating the Star God Core." Yu Lian communicated with Wang Ping in the Spirit Sea.

"What a pity! Don't expect everything to be too perfect!"

While Wang Ping was communicating with Yu Lian, he followed Man Su's breath and flew towards the north of Dongzhou Continent. In just over ten breaths, he locked onto the location of Skylark Mountain. After a few more breaths, Wang Ping followed Man Su's breath and saw Skylark Mountain recorded in the Taoist Palace archives.

This is a cultivator of the fourth realm, which is vastly different from a cultivator of the third realm, as if they should not exist in this small world.

The skylark is very tall, the tallest among the mountains within thousands of miles. It penetrates the clouds like the backbone of heaven and earth, holding up the sky.

"Good place!"

Wang Ping exclaimed in praise.

Yu Lian looked at the crisscrossing rivers around the giant mountain with shining eyes. At this moment, there seemed to be a water battle between two tribes on a wide river.

Man Su spoke again and emphasized: "Business is more important!"

"... "

Wang Ping just nodded and stopped appreciating the beautiful scenery. Yu Lian complained in her heart: "This may be the key to his humanity, a rigid and efficient tool!"

This is pure disparagement. Judging from the way Man Su just dealt with those people who blocked his way, he is not a rigid person, but it is true that he pays attention to efficiency.

At this time, Man Su had already released the aura of the four realms, and the intermittent gravity caused some changes in the rules of this area.

After a few breaths, the trees on the mountain swayed back and forth, and the flowing wind seemed to stagnate. The two sides who were fighting a bloody battle in the river below suddenly found that the weapons in their hands seemed to have doubled in weight, and then the armor on their bodies became heavier.

"I'm sorry that I failed to welcome you, my distinguished guests. I hope you two fellow Taoists will forgive me..."

A cheerful and loud voice sounded, and then Wang Ping saw a figure wearing a coarse short-sleeved linen shirt appear. His hair was jet-black and casually tied together with a wooden hairpin, looking a little messy, and the six-inch long beard on his chest was silver-white, making him look a little old.

"I've met senior!"

Wang Ping had seen a portrait of Taoist Chongxing, although there were some differences between the portrait and the person before him, because the Taoist Chongxing in the portrait had an immortal look, while the person before him looked like a country bumpkin.

"Fellow Daoist Chongxing, how are you!"

Man Su clasped his fists in return. Taoist Chongxing looked at the two men with a smile and said, "This morning when I was drinking tea outside the cave, I heard unknown birds chirping in my ears. I thought there must be distinguished guests visiting today. It turned out to be the two Taoist friends."

After he finished speaking, he made an invitation gesture: "Come to my cave and have a cup of tea."

Man Su looked at Wang Ping. Wang Ping was in charge of this mission and he was here to assist or, in other words, to supervise.

Of course Wang Ping would not refuse.

Taoist Chongxing's cave is located on an open flat ground at the top of Yunque Mountain. Like Wang Ping's Taoist temple, it is planted with spiritual trees. There are man-made pavilions and waterside pavilions between the spiritual trees. On the north side of the open flat ground, there is a two-story bamboo house built against the mountain.

And in the mountains below this cave, there are various gathering places. They are next to the streams flowing down the mountains. In the gathering places, there are many wood spirit cultivators, some Tai Yan cultivators, and even a third-level Tai Yan cultivator. I think they are all disciples of Taoist Chongxing.

After entering Taoist Chongxing's cave, Wang Ping and Taoist Chongxing talked about the scenery of the mountains and the interesting cultural stories of Dongzhou.

"I haven't seen the spirit snake clan for a long time. At that time, Yu Xiao also had a spirit snake following him. I heard that they can help Tai Yan monks practice. I didn't expect that his lineage has passed down this habit."

Taoist Chongxing looked at Yu Lian who was drinking tea and brought up this matter after finishing a topic.

Hearing this, Wang Ping reached out and stroked Yu Lian's head, saying, "Yu Lian has indeed provided a lot of help in my practice. Without her help, I might have taken a lot of detours."

Yu Lian really enjoyed Wang Ping's words, and she felt a great sense of satisfaction.

"But she has been practicing with you. Without the blood power of the spirit snake, you have to be more careful. This will be good for your future." Taoist Chongxing glanced at Man Su, who had been silent, and reminded Wang Ping softly.

"Don't worry, senior. I know what to do."

The king himself also planned to make another trip to the habitat of the spirit snake clan in Hushan Kingdom, one to obtain the blood power of the spirit snake clan for Yu Lian, and at the same time to find possibilities for her promotion.

Taoist Chongxing only touched on this topic briefly. He then looked at Wang Ping and Man Su and changed the subject, saying, "Although my place is nice, I don't think you two are here to enjoy the scenery. Taoist Rongyang has already told me about the matter at your second meeting."

When he finally pointed out Lord Rongyang, he glanced at Wang Ping, probably reminding him intentionally.

"I only have a few hundred years left to live. If I make trouble, I will destroy the beautiful mountains and rivers of Dongzhou. I am nostalgic and can't bear to leave the scenery here, so I won't make trouble."

Taoist Chongxing laughed at himself, took out a fist-sized metal ball from his storage bag, and said, "This is a magical tool passed down by the Taiyan Sect. The future inheritance of the Taiyan Sect will depend on you."

Wang Ping looked at the metal sphere and knew that this must be the magic weapon that Taoist Chongxing had mentioned earlier.

"Take it. I don't need it anymore. Once you have completely integrated the 'Heaven-Covering Talisman', you can use it with the Transfer Talisman to enter the core. As for my special puppet enlightenment technique, it has already been passed down. And since you are on the right path, it doesn't matter whether you master this little trick or not."

Wang Ping took the metal ball silently after hearing that. It felt very heavy in his hand, at least several thousand kilograms. It would be difficult for ordinary people to lift it.

Seeing Wang Ping take the metal ball, Taoist Chongxing smiled and said, "At the beginning, Master Huishan asked the three of us to choose our main areas of cultivation. Zhongde chose the transfer talisman without hesitation, but I thought puppets were interesting. Yuxiao didn't choose anything because he wanted to cultivate everything."

"In the end, Yu Xiao was still ahead of us, so our school does not require any tricks. We must practice steadily and step by step. One day, you will be able to reach the level of a True Lord!"

Wang Ping put away the metal ball in his hand, clasped his fists humbly and said, "How dare I, a junior, ask for the position of a True Lord."

"Ha ha!"

Taoist Chongxing laughed loudly, then asked, "I have a few days to prepare."

Wang Ping didn't know how to answer this question, so he looked at Man Su.

Man Su had no scruples and said immediately, "The sooner the better. Because of Wei Kong's rebellion, a camp on the front line has been left vacant. If it is delayed any further, the camp will be completely destroyed. It will take at least 20 years to re-arrange the transfer array, and it will also cause double the pressure on the two masters of the Zhenyang Sect near the sun."

"At least give me half a month to prepare!"

"Of course!"

Man Su clasped his fists and said, "Master, you are so righteous. I just happen to be stationed on the moon recently. I will be waiting for you there."

Chong Xing responded nonchalantly: "I need to ensure that I have enough manpower and logistical supplies. I don't have that much energy to organize manpower."

Wang Ping immediately made a promise: "The True Yang Sect and the Star God Alliance have already been preparing for this. As long as you give your approval, your battalion will be fully staffed within five days!"

"it is good!"

Taoist Chongxing bowed to Wang Ping and Man Su and said, "I have already entertained you. Please do as you please. I will reach the moon within half a month."

He drove people away directly.

"Junior, take your leave..."

"Don't be so polite."

...

Outside Lark Mountain.

Man Su looked at Wang Ping and said, "Leave the rest to me. You have to ensure the supply of materials for the Star God Alliance during this period."

"it is good!"

Wang Ping agreed.

Man Su stopped talking nonsense, bowed, and turned away.

After Man Su left, Wang Ping looked around at the surrounding mountains and resisted the urge to turn back to look for Taoist Chongxing. He took Yu Lian and immersed himself in the wood spirit and flew westward. When he reached the western coastline of Dongzhou Continent, a hot breath made him stop flying.

There was a man hovering in front of him. He was wearing a gray-black robe, which was a bit worn, and a linen cloak on the outside. His hair was casually tied with a hemp rope. He had no beard on his face and looked exceptionally young.

This is the First Sect's leader, Gong Wudaoren!
He saw Wang Ping first put his right hand on his chest to salute.

Wang Ping followed suit and clasped his fists.

Afterwards, Taoist Gong Wu made a concession, indicating that Wang Ping could leave on his own. From the look on his face, it seemed that their meeting here was just a coincidence, and they should part ways after saying hello.

Although Wang Ping had dealt with the First Sect before and they had expressed goodwill to each other, he had no intention of staying on their territory for any longer. After clasping his fists again, he flew to the Zhongzhou Continent.

When he flew over the sea, the fusion progress of his 'Heaven-Covering Talisman' increased by two points, reaching (3/100), because he recorded Chongxing Taoist's choice on the 'Heaven-Covering Talisman' in advance.

Wang Ping was startled by the two-point increase. After all, the record of him being canonized as the Lord of the Mansion only increased a little. Other minor things did not increase at all, such as the records of inspecting the Moon Defense Line. (End of this chapter)
