There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Ao Hong left him messages about these two things, while the others just sent him regular greetings. The most greetings came from Lord Rongyang. From his words, it can be seen that he urgently needs a second-seat meeting.

Wang Ping ignored the greetings and focused on the Zhenyang Sect's two failed attempts to advance to the fourth realm and Wei Kong's case.

The problem of the Zhenyang Sect seems simple, but it is actually quite complicated. Judging from Lord Rongyang's current attitude, he will definitely not just watch the quota fall into the hands of the "First Day".

However, Vajra Temple and Taiyin Sect would be happy to see that Bu Qiong and Man Su would definitely support the conventional rules, so Lord Rongyang would definitely have no advantage in the second-seat meeting, and he would definitely think of other ways.

As for Wei Kong's whereabouts, Ao Hong sent a message about it two months ago. Now two months have passed, but there is no update, which means there is no specific result yet.

But Wang Ping had no channels to obtain this kind of information, so he could only call the liaison officer of the Star God Alliance in Zhonghui County to inquire.

He is very passive, but it is difficult for him to interfere in matters of outer space. Even if he arranges people to go in, they may not be able to obtain intelligence. After all, outer space is so huge that even the fourth-level cultivators seem extremely small. Moreover, the people he arranges will definitely be labeled with his label, such as Leng Kezhen and Qingjiang.

After thinking for a while, Wang Ping entered the projection hall of the second seat. Here were records of some major events of the Star God Alliance in the past ten years. He read through them at a glance. They were all daily records of the front line. There was nothing noteworthy. Wei Kong’s intelligence was also recorded, but like the message Ao Hong left him, the record stopped two months ago.

After exiting the projection space, Wang Ping saw a pair of golden vertical pupils. They were Yu Lian’s eyes. When Wang Ping exited the projection space, she reminded him, “Did you forget something?”

"what's up?"

"Put the Netherworld Body where old man Tongyu is sleeping!"

"Don't worry, I certainly remember it."

After Wang Ping finished speaking, a smile appeared on his face, and then he called Guan Qi, the disciple who was responsible for receiving people outside his temple, and asked him to call the liaison officer of the Zhonghui City Star God Alliance.

He did this for two reasons: first, he wanted to learn more about the search for Wei Kong, and second, he wanted to remind everyone that he had come out of isolation.

When Guan Qi received the order on the street, he did not leave immediately.

"Is something wrong?"

"To reply to the old ancestor, the case you asked me to hang in the Dao Palace last time has been taken over by the Jimin Society."

Wang Ping was silent for a few breaths before he remembered that Guan Qi was talking about the case of the missing Star God Guard. He thought for a moment and asked, "How long have they been taking on this case?"

"Two years!"

"Any clues?"

"I don't know."

"Okay, you continue to focus on this issue and don't need to bother the monks of the Society of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints."

"Yes!"

After Guan Qi left, Wang Ping summoned the 'Dongtian Mirror' and connected it to the puppet he arranged to investigate the case, but there was still no clue.

Yu Lian patted Wang Ping's shoulder with her tail, "It's about Taoist Tong Yu!"

Wang Ping nodded, put away the "Dongtian Mirror", and brought Yu Lian quietly to Dongshui Mountain. Dongshui Mountain was still in the original position. When the mountains of Qianmu Temple were moved, he did not move the position of Dongshui Mountain because he took into consideration the Taoist Tongyu who was sleeping at the bottom of the mountain.

Dongshui Mountain was as quiet as usual, and there were very few disciples in the martial arts training ground, because most of the disciples of Dongshui Mountain were training outside. This was a habit that had been developed since Zuo Xuan was in charge of Dongshui Mountain. After Dong Can took charge of Dongshui Mountain, the disciples' temperaments became even colder.

"The magic circle on the mountain that suppresses desire has become a little more powerful!"

Yu Lian evaluated Dongshui Mountain in the Spiritual Sea.

In order to cultivate his primordial spirit and help the weapon-cultivating disciples of Dongshui Mountain to better integrate the demonic energy within the weapon formation, Dongcan set up a magic formation on Dongshui Mountain to suppress the inner desires.

Wang Ping did not comment on this. Hidden in the wood spirit, he stretched out his left hand and made a hand gesture. He immediately disappeared. When he appeared again, he was in a pitch-dark area.

The faint light from two bronze lamps ten feet ahead was extremely eye-catching in the darkness. Wang Ping did not use any lighting spells, but just moved forward slowly in the darkness, and soon arrived in front of the two bronze lamps.

The base of the copper lamp was shining with a gray light. It was a simple lunar energy gathering array that provided basic energy supply for lighting. The base of the copper lamp was placed on a copper statue that resembled a demon's head.

The evil ghost statue was embedded in a huge bronze double door. There were more Taiyin magic arrays on the surface of the bronze door. They emitted a light gray halo and were almost invisible in the dark.

These magic arrays absorbed the Yin energy from beneath the earth, echoing with the 'Nine Extremes Great Array' of Qianmu Temple, forming an unobservable barrier magic array in front of the gate.

When Wang Ping touched the barrier, a pair of light green eyes appeared on both sides of the gate. These were the two puppets arranged by Taoist Tongyu. Wang Ping immediately made a gesture with his hands and released a specific wood spirit formation. The activated puppets next to them suddenly became quiet again.

Yu Lian leaned her head against Wang Ping's cheek and said, "The environment here is exactly the same as the environment in horror novels where the protagonist explores."

As she spoke, she flicked her tail lightly, and suddenly a water spirit array flashed by, and a simple water-based 'illumination spell' appeared, illuminating the area.

This is a huge cave. Wang Ping just walked on a stone road. On both sides of the stone road are floors made of fine iron from the earth veins. Various netherworld spell traps are carved on them. The bare rock walls on both sides are also made of fine iron from the earth veins. The sky above his head is also made of fine iron from the earth veins, and dense lines are carved on the surface of the fine iron.

The lines are densely covered with water droplets, which should be the water that seeps from the underground river above. They gather in the troughs on both sides of the cave along the lines carved on the surface of the fine iron.

Looking at the bronze gate in front of Wang Ping, it was embedded in a huge bronze wall, and the entire bronze wall was covered with Netherworld magic arrays, which were connected to two puppets over eight feet tall in front of the gate.

Wang Ping crossed the barrier formation, stood in front of the gate, stretched out his left hand and made another gesture. When the gesture was formed, he took Yu Lian and passed directly through the closed bronze gate.

This is a transfer array, and it also has an isolation array attached to it. It was an array set up by Wang Ping himself. Even he himself could not directly pass through the isolation array and enter the inside of the bronze wall.

It was still pitch black inside. The moment Wang Ping entered, Yu Lian once again used the "illumination technique". The darkness suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a hall made of bronze and fine iron.

There is a two-meter-high platform in the center of the hall, surrounded by metal steps. On the platform is Taoist Tongyu who is sitting cross-legged in meditation. He looks like a dead person at the moment, but his body is absorbing the netherworld energy transformed by the magic circle in the hall. His soul is in a dazed state and his consciousness seems to have ceased to exist.

Wang Ping flew over and stood in front of the platform, observing the magic circle on the platform.

This formation is a simple spirit gathering and transformation formation, gathering the spiritual energy of the 'Nine Extremes Great Formation' and transforming it into the purest netherworld aura, and the core of the formation is Taoist Tongyu's own primordial spirit and body.

"How do we place the Netherworld Body?"

Wang Ping's voice was very soft.

Yu Lian spit out her snake tongue, turned her head to look at Wang Ping, and said, "I don't know, and you don't know either!"

"... "

Wang Ping carefully observed the magic formation in the hall, then slowly released his spiritual consciousness. After more than ten breaths, he stared at Taoist Tongyu's fused body.

Yu Lian also followed Wang Ping's gaze and looked at Tong Yu's body.

Then, Wang Ping changed the spells in his hands and sacrificed the "Heaven-Covering Talisman" to suppress the magic array in the hall first, and then took out the body of the underworld and replaced it with Taoist Tongyu's body.

Then, Wang Ping hesitated for two breaths and placed Taoist Tongyu's body in front of the Netherworld's body.

The next moment, a wonderful thing happened. The Netherworld Body, which was originally as dry as tree bark, began to frantically absorb the Netherworld Air produced by the magic circle and tried to merge with Taoist Tongyu's soul.

"You have to stop him, otherwise you will get a deformed body!" Yu Lian warned.

Of course, Wang Ping also understood this principle. At this moment, it was the Netherworld body that was merging with Taoist Tongyu, rather than Taoist Tongyu merging with the Netherworld body.

Two talismans appeared in front of Wang Ping in an instant, and then sank into the Netherworld's body. These were two wood spirit sealing talismans. The Netherworld's body, which had been madly absorbing the Taoist Primordial Spirit of Tongyu, suddenly calmed down.

"You sealed it? What's the difference between this and before?"

Yu Lian asked in confusion.

Wang Ping smiled and said, "Just be patient."

He fixed his eyes on the Netherworld Body, quietly waiting for the changes he expected.

This wait lasted for three hours. Tongyu's soul, which was originally in a dazed state, seemed to sense something and separated a part of his consciousness from his original body to devour the Netherworld Body.

But it didn't work.

Just when part of Tongyu's soul's consciousness tried to devour Youming's body, it quickly retracted into its body as if it had encountered something terrible.

But half an hour later, Tongyu's soul returned again.

As expected, it failed again.

"How long will it take for the fusion to succeed?"

Yu Lian asked softly.

Wang Ping thought for a moment and replied, "He is asleep anyway, so time is not a problem for him."

"Then can he be promoted to the fourth level in this way?"

"If his soul can take the initiative after fusing with this Netherworld body, he probably has a chance, but the real problem for the Taiyin Sect's fourth realm is their quota."

"makes sense!"

Wang Ping observed for another half an hour and confirmed that there was no problem before taking Yu Lian back to the dojo on the top of the mountain.

It was already late at night outside, but the gate of the mountaintop dojo was brightly lit. It turned out that the Star God Alliance's liaison officer in Zhonghui County was still waiting for Wang Ping.

Wang Ping did not summon him immediately, but sent a message to the disciple who was guiding him, asking him to settle the liaison officer of the Star God Alliance in the guest room outside. After Yu Lian came out from the bottom of Dongshui Mountain, she immediately locked onto the breath of her parents, and then went to play with her parents.

Silent all night.

After daybreak, Wang Ping immediately summoned the Star God Alliance's liaison officer who had been waiting for a long time to inquire about the progress of the hunt for Wei Kong.

"We discovered Wei Kong's traces two months ago, and Senior Man Su immediately organized a search. But you should know, Lord Fu, that outer space is too vast. It will take at least a month for us to completely form our encirclement."

The liaison officer was an incoming monk. He was dressed in brocade clothes and looked more like a businessman than a monk. When he spoke, he always maintained the ingratiating smile that was unique to merchants.

"In another half a month, perhaps Senior Man Su will notify the Lord of the Mansion to go to outer space to close the encirclement."

Wang Ping called the liaison officer to ask questions in order to confirm whether the intelligence was true. After hearing what he said, he asked, "In other words, the intelligence this time is not false?"

"It's probably not the case. Wait another half a month and there will be results!"

The man answered very seriously.

Wang Ping nodded and looked up at Yu Lian, who was falling from the sky. She landed on the eaves and curled up, looking at the liaison officer at the entrance of the courtyard. Wang Ze tapped the stone table beside him with his fingers and asked, "Do you think this is a bit strange?"

"What's so strange about that? I hope you can explain it to me!"

The liaison officer was surprised at first, but then acted as if he was listening carefully.

Wang Ping shook his head and stopped talking about this topic. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go down."

The liaison officer naturally did not dare to ask any further questions. He saluted respectfully and quickly left the courtyard.

Yu Lian landed on the stool opposite Wang Ping, stretched her neck and said, "Mother and the others have returned to Mingyuetan. In a month, a group of disciples will go there to try to sign a contract. The first attempt will be to sign a contract with an adult member of the tribe. If they don't like each other, they will try with a newborn in half a year."

"pretty good."

Wang Ping responded softly
Yu Lian said, "I don't think many of them will be able to sign a contract successfully. I have dealt with those adult members of the tribe, and it is almost impossible for them to sign a contract with ordinary monks. The newborns have their parents behind them."

"Take your time."

Wang Ping stood up and walked out of the gate of the courtyard, then sat down cross-legged next to the old locust tree.

three days later.

Wang Ping welcomed a guest, Ke Yue from the 'first day'.

She was brought into the Taoist temple secretly by Dong Can. The reason why Wang Ping met her was because he knew what she wanted to do. Sure enough, after the greetings, Ke Yue talked about the quota for the four realms of Zhenyang Sect.

She hoped that Wang Ping would abide by the default rules at the second meeting and choose not to help either side.

"If the Lord of the Mansion can agree to this small request of 'First Day', the favor owed by your Taiyan Sect to Grandmaster He Feng can be written off!"

Wang Ping had no reason to refuse.

On the second day after Ke Yue left, Taoist Hua Yun handed over a formal visiting card on behalf of her master, Lord Rongyang.

"I am here to submit a proposal for a routine meeting on behalf of my master. This proposal has been approved by the Third Council. As long as Lord Daofu nods, it can be formally proposed at the Second Council."

After paying his respects, Hua Yun took out an official document from the Taoist palace.

Wang Ping took it.

The content of the proposal was just as Wang Ping had imagined. It was intended to attack the "First Day" and it was quite harsh.

According to what Lord Rongyang said in the document, hundreds of evil sacrificial rituals of the "First Day" have been investigated and dealt with in various parts of Zhongzhou in the past hundred years, causing a certain degree of spiritual chaos, so it is proposed that the Taoist palaces in various places organize personnel to wipe out the strongholds of the "First Day", and it should last for ten years.

"Now is the heyday of the dynasty, are you sure you want to do this?" Wang Ping asked Taoist Hua Yun after reading the document.

"The lunatics of the 'First Day' must be eliminated. They took advantage of the prosperity of the dynasty to kidnap a large number of people. There are hundreds of cases of missing people in local governments almost every year, especially in the northwest region. In some places, hundreds of people disappear every month!"

Taoist Hua Yun had a look of righteousness.

Wang Ping did not say anything after hearing this, but performed the Qiyun formation in front of Taoist Huayun. (End of this chapter)
