There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

After Wu Quan said this, the turbulent earth vein aura calmed down, the yellow sand in the sky disappeared without a trace in an instant, and everything seemed to have returned to calm.

The cultivators hiding in the dark and ready to reap the benefits concealed their breath at the same time after hearing the name of 'Lord Changqing'. After all, this was the southern cultivation world. With the cultivation level of the fourth realm, the other party could take their lives in an instant if they wanted to.

Wen Hai was not clear about the situation in the valley, but he could guess that Wu Quan was under siege and said those words in desperation, while the monks who besieged him were considering the pros and cons at this moment.

The silence in the valley did not last long, because a dazzling fire suddenly appeared on the Skylark Mountain further north, illuminating most of the majestic top of the mountain. The fire fell from the sky, and it was obvious that it was the "Fire Killing Technique" performed by a third-level fire cultivator, trying to impact the barrier formation of Skylark Mountain.

Just as the flames were about to touch Skylark Mountain, beneath the clouds that were illuminated crimson by the flames, a huge tower rose infinitely higher in the flames!
The moment the tower appeared, the ground within a radius of hundreds of kilometers began to tremble violently. In the valley ahead, which had been quiet, a chasm appeared because the ground was already fragile due to the previous battle. The chasm quickly spread under the moonlight, and the mountains on both sides that had been destroyed by the "Dust Light Technique" collapsed directly.

"Wow~"

There was a torrent of underground water gushing out from the chasm.

The water splashes all over the sky emitted a strange glow under the reflection of the flames. Some people in the surrounding area who originally wanted to reap the benefits, after seeing the situation in Skylark Mountain, flew towards the north, adding a lot of color to the dark sky.

Wen Hai heard people from some nearby towns in the south shouting, "There's a fire, there's a fire..."

"Good opportunity, take action!"

The moment Li Miaolin spoke, he had already rushed out. Even faster than him was the monkey demon in black armor. His body seemed to be able to pass through space. In the night, illuminated by colorful light, his figure flashed several times in the void and had already arrived above the valley.

Looking at him again, his figure was flashing again, with a cold light, and then there were small sounds echoing...

"puff!"

"puff!"

"puff!"

The sound was getting louder and louder, Wen Hai only felt pain in his ears. It was a series of sonic booms, trembling with the jumping spiritual energy. It was the two metal steel knives in the hands of the monkey demon, which swung hundreds of times every time he dodged. Each time, there was a sound of breaking through the air, and the sound was getting louder and louder.

His target was a ground vein monk with a gray tower floating beside him. Although the ground vein monk had been on guard against sneak attacks, the monkey demon's attack methods were too strange, and even his soul could not capture the specific trajectory of his movements. He was caught off guard and his physical body had one arm cut off.

What's even more bizarre is that the monkey demon's blade can cut off all spiritual energy. At the wound on the Earth Vein Monk's arm, there was a light grey demonic energy wriggling, preventing the spiritual veins in his body from repairing his arm.

Seeing that the monkey demon's blade was approaching the Earth Vein Monk's qi sea, two third-level auras suddenly appeared nearby. They were obviously the companions who came to support the Earth Vein Monk. One of them was a weapon cultivator, and the other was also an Earth Vein Monk.

It was these three who were besieging Wu Quan just now, and Wu Quan was now trapped in a life and death light curtain, surrounded by turbid floods formed by underground water veins.

There is an invisible barrier between the flood and the light curtain, causing the flood to form a vortex around the light curtain, but the power of the vortex is weakening because the collapse of the mountains on both sides has made the area very wide, enough to discharge the flood.

The skin of Wu Quan's physical body and spirit is dry at this moment, and he looks like a mummy, but the qi sea in his body still remains active. However, if no one helps, it is only a matter of time before his physical body and spirit are destroyed.

The other two monks who came to rescue were not able to arrive in time because they were blocked by two puppets full of wood spirit aura, and then the sky full of "sword symbols" washed towards their faces like a tide.

"Drink!"

The weapon cultivator roared loudly, and two sabers wrapped in demonic energy appeared around his body, destroying all the attacking 'sword talismans'. However, the earth vein cultivator was in a bit of a mess, as the earth vein aura around his body was almost blocked by the 'sword talismans'. He could only try his best to defend himself, and had no energy left for rescue.

But just as the weapon cultivator got rid of the entanglement of the "sword talisman", hundreds of golden-armored soldiers besieged him. These soldiers directly self-destructed when they surrounded him. Every time they self-destructed, a variety of toxins were released, forcing the weapon cultivator to temporarily avoid the attack, which also caused him to roar continuously.

At this moment, a black shadow flashed across the sky and pierced through the body of the Earth Vein Monk who was beaten into a somewhat embarrassing state by the monkey demon. At the moment when the Earth Vein Monk's body was pierced, an inconspicuous sealing formation flashed across the sky illuminated by fire, and directly imprisoned the Earth Vein Monk's soul!
"asshole!"

The weapon cultivator was furious when he was blocked by the golden-armored soldiers.

The black shadow was Dong Can. He coldly put away the blue crystal containing the sealing array, looked coldly at the weapon cultivator who was roaring at him, and said, "You gathered a crowd to surround and kill the chief host of the Dao Palace. Do you want to make enemies with the Dao Palace?"

His voice echoed around the valley, and as he spoke he called out the identity cards of the three seats in the Taoist Palace, and these were the three identity cards with the Qianmu Temple mark!
Afterwards, the monkey demon and Li Miaolin each took out their identity cards.

This may seem a bit rogue, but the cultivation world is not a place for reason. It is legal to rob resources, and anyone can do it.

"you…"

The weapon cultivator was furious. Just as he was about to speak, the earth cultivator beside him, who had escaped from the trap because Li Miaolin had put away his magic, quickly clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "It turned out to be an angel from the Dao Palace. We did not intend to attack Wu Quan. It was he who was aggressive first and threatened the lives of our disciples, asking us to attack Skylark Mountain tonight. We were also forced to do so..."

"fart!"

The 'life and death light curtain' around Wu Quan had disappeared, and his body in the air was slowly recovering. He shouted with his last bit of strength, "You bunch of ungrateful bastards, there will be no place for you in the southern cultivation world from now on!"

Along with his angry roar, there was also an echo like muffled thunder. As the sound echoed, the sky was covered with dense rain of fire. When everyone looked up at the sky, the "rain of fire" had already fallen, igniting the land for hundreds of kilometers!
It is the spell effect produced by the battle between the earth cultivator and the fire cultivator!
With such destructive power, I'm afraid few people in the city at the foot of Skylark Mountain can survive.

While everyone was watching the strange phenomenon in the sky, the weapon cultivator and earth vein cultivator opposite Dong Can turned into two streams of light and flew rapidly towards the southeast. Seeing this, Wu Quan instinctively told him to let Dong Can and others chase after them, but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.

When the loud noise in the north stopped, Dong Can, Li Miaolin and the monkey demon looked at each other and left without looking back. Wu Quan felt the malicious gazes hidden around him, and hurriedly circulated the remaining earth vein energy in his qi sea to follow.

To Wu Quan's surprise, Dong Can and his companions landed on a nearby hilltop, which made him feel relieved. When he landed on the hilltop, he saw Dong Can actually hand over the crystal that sealed the Yuan Shen of a third-level earth vein cultivator to Wen Hai, and coldly instructed: "The matter here is settled, and the task assigned by the dean has been completed. Fellow Daoist Li will send you back to the border of Mozhou Road."

"Thank you sir!"

Wen Hai suppressed his excitement and bowed to express his gratitude. He really didn't expect it to be so simple, and so... simple and crude.

At this time, Li Miaolin made a hand gesture and activated a transfer array, directly transferring Wen Hai who was paying his respects away.

"You are quite brave. You dare to announce the name of Lord Changqing in such an occasion. You are probably looking for death!" The monkey demon said with ill intention to Wu Quan who followed him.

"I had no choice. I was about to die at that time!" Wu Quan explained quickly.

"This is just the first time. If it happens again, I will take you down!" Dong Can warned in a cold tone. Li Miaolin said in a teasing tone, "You are really looking for death. I remember that when we met last time, I warned you more than once not to get involved in this matter, but you didn't listen at all!"

The monkey demon mocked directly, "He thinks he is the Lord of Changqing Mansion and can stand out and win the seat of the fourth realm. You may not even know the rules of the fourth realm seat? There are so many people in the Cave Gate, all lining up to be promoted to the fourth realm. Do you think you are better than them?"

Wu Quan felt a little ashamed of himself. He had indeed thought so. After all, what happened to Wang Ping happened right in front of him. He almost saw Wang Ping's promotion to the fourth level with his own eyes. This gave rise to the idea in his heart that "maybe I can do it too".

In fact, many people in today’s chaos think so!
Wang Ping had only practiced for over 600 years before he was promoted to the fourth realm, and they had witnessed the entire process with their own eyes, which had restored the confidence of many Xuanmen practitioners who had originally lacked confidence.

"The battle over there should last all night!"

Dong Can ignored Wu Quan because he felt it was a waste of time.

Li Miaolin responded indifferently: "That is no longer our concern. We just need to wait for them to finish fighting and clean up the mess. We will definitely get a lot of spoils."

Wu Quan was surprised when he heard this. He understood a lot from this conversation. Even the fact that he was besieged just now was probably known in advance by the three people in front of him. And their purpose was nothing more than to grab a spot for promotion to the third realm.

Wu Quan also knew the man who had just obtained a place in the third realm. He was from one of the branches of the Diku Gate, but he was still a pawn of the man from Qianmu Temple!

At this moment, Wu Quan suddenly felt enlightened.

"Have you figured it out?"

Li Miaolin seemed to be very good at grasping people's hearts. When Wu Quan's mood changed, he said to him, "Master Zhigong can try to advance to the fourth realm because she has a fourth realm master. If you want to advance, you first need a nomination from a fourth realm cultivator, but you are seeking a distant goal instead of a near one!"

Wu Quan lowered his head.

After Li Miaolin finished speaking to Wu Quan, he looked at Dong Can and asked casually, "You said that Lord Liuyun set up this situation just to get a few places for the third-level Xuanmen earth cultivators?"

"It would be nice if the Lord's mind was so pure..."

The monkey demon responded subconsciously, but then he realized that this sentence also included the person from Qianmu Temple. He wanted to explain something, but if he did, it would seem a bit deliberate, which made his words sound as if he had only said half of it.

After a brief silence, Li Miaolin continued: "Should we investigate?"

Dong Can shook his head and said, "How can we check? It's not easy for us to interfere in the affairs inside the underground cave gate."

Li Miaolin glanced at Wu Quan calmly.

After hearing this, no matter how stupid Wu Quan was, he would understand. Besides, he was not stupid. His thoughts quickly flashed through his mind, and he thought about how embarrassed he was tonight. Even if he recovered from his injuries, he would probably have to live for hundreds of years. All of this was probably planned by Lord Liuyun.

"I can try, I can try as much as I can!"

Wu Quan's words were tactful.

Dong Can turned around and looked at Wu Quan. This was the first time he looked at Wu Quan straight in the eye tonight. "I will have someone contact you. Remember, this matter has nothing to do with Lord Changqing."

"understand!"

Wu Quan nodded, but smiled bitterly in his heart. Not long ago, the person in front of him was just a rat crossing the street, and he didn't even need to look at him seriously. But now, their status seems to have been reversed.

And all because of one person!

"The fourth realm!"

Wu Quan sighed in his heart.

Just as he was sighing, suddenly more than a dozen third-level auras burst out from the direction of Skylark Mountain at the same time!
Li Miaolin immediately made a hand gesture and pointed it in front of him. An "Armor Talisman" appeared, and then a defensive barrier constructed by the "Armor Talisman" was formed on the top of the hill.

"Boom..."

An unusual loud noise resounded between heaven and earth. At this moment, everyone felt that the spiritual energy in the space quickly gathered towards the direction of Skylark Mountain after the loud noise.

Li Miaolin and the monkey demon immediately used their spiritual powers to search, and then both of their faces changed slightly.

After the explosion, the chaotic atmosphere in Skylark Mountain had been swept away and was covered by thick white fog. Countless spiritual creatures in the world of inspiration were roaring silently and gathering towards the white-shrouded area, but they seemed to be blocked outside the explosion range by a stream of air.

That’s because there is no spiritual energy in the explosion area and the inspiration world has collapsed!
"It's the 'Power Pill'!"

Wu Quan shouted.

Dong Can followed up by saying, "It is indeed the 'Power Pill' of Lord Changqing. During the battle of Zhenyang Mountain, I observed a 'Power Pill' of this size from a distance!"

"Is the Lord of the Mansion here in person?"

The monkey demon asked uncertainly.

Dong Can shook his head, "It is impossible for the Lord to appear here. It is estimated that Zhigong Taoist has the special 'Power Pill' made by the Lord himself!"

The monkey demon's eyes rolled when he heard this, and he nodded thoughtfully, "That makes sense. Taoist Zhigong also fully supported the Lord's attack on Zhenyang Mountain. I guess they had a deal at that time."

He almost told others that the demon clan also had such a 'power pill'. That 'power pill' was brought back to the tribe by their clan leader Hu Yin after they conquered Zhenyang Mountain. Only a few great demons in the tribe who were at the Jindan stage knew about it.

Li Miaolin continued, "Such a rough method, the number of casualties just now is unknown, I am afraid that we will not be able to capture the Yuan Shen. In this case, the quota for the third realm will be open to everyone, and I don't know whether Liuyun Mansion Lord can fulfill his promise to Qianmu Temple." (End of this chapter)
