There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Wei Kong’s matter came to an end.

Next came several proposals that had been communicated previously. As expected, Lord Rongyang's proposal for action against the 'First Day' was unsuccessful. Wang Ping remained silent on this issue in accordance with his promise to the 'First Day'.

The proposal of Vajra Temple to adjust the gold price was supported by everyone, just as Wang Ping had imagined. The proposal of Taiyin Sect to let Taoist Palace intervene in the dispute of Yuqing Sect came to nothing. Although Yuxing Mansion Lord was not interested in anything, she did not back down because it was related to her duty.

After the discussion was over, Yuxing Mansion Lord was the first to leave. Bu Qiong said to Wang Ping as he left: "Fellow Daoist, please stay. I have something to tell you."

Upon hearing this, those who had not left looked at Wang Ping and Bu Qiong, and tactfully cut off the projection.

After the others left, Wang Ping bowed and asked, "But about Fellow Daoist Wu Fu's promotion?"

Bu Qiong nodded, "That's right. He will be promoted around mid-April. Based on the results of the previous attempts, his chance of promotion this time should be about 40%."

"That's great. On behalf of Brother Wu Fu, I would like to thank you, the Star God Alliance."

"No need to thank me, we just get what we need." Bu Qiong returned the greeting and said, "I won't bother you, Taoist priest. I'll take my leave first."

"it is good!"

After Bu Qiong left, Wang Ping did not stay for long. He quickly cut off the connection with his consciousness and shifted his vision. He looked at the familiar mountaintop dojo in front of him. He knew every tree and blade of grass here by heart.

But that's why I feel so bored.

"Would you like to go and take a look at Sanhe Prefecture? It has changed a lot now." Yu Lian's voice came from the side.

"Alright!"

Wang Ping readily agreed. For Wang Ping now, everything on Nanlin Road was just an idea away. He looked at Yu Lian and said, "Take me there. I'm too lazy to fly. Let's take a look at the beautiful scenery along the way."

"Okay!"

Yu Lian happily accepted it, then transformed into her original form and floated above the dojo.

Wang Ping's figure slowly rose into the air and landed steadily on Yu Lian's big head. He leaned on a piece of scales, facing the sea breeze and closed his eyes.

Yu Lian happily swung her huge body, and in a blink of an eye she disappeared into the clouds. Then she slowed down and flew towards Sanhe Prefecture. She did not reach Sanhe Prefecture until the sun was about to set.

The sunset above the clouds was beautiful, and Wang Ping just watched quietly because he had seen it too many times.

When the last rays of sunset faded, Yu Lian sped up in the sea of ​​clouds. In fact, this state of relaxation was quite comfortable. I didn't think about anything and didn't do anything.

Time passed very quickly in this state, and before he could even notice it, Yu Lian had brought Wang Ping to Sanhe Prefecture. Under the dim night, the crisscrossing waterways above the earth reflected the looming sky. In the darkness, there was an area full of flames, as if it had absorbed the light of the surrounding earth, making it particularly dazzling.

That is the new habitat of the spirit snake clan.

Mingyuetan Lake.

It was a bonfire lit by some water monster soldiers. Next to the bonfire was a series of grills, on which were grilled fish coated with spices. When approaching Mingyue Lake, the aroma of barbecue immediately penetrated into the nose.

Unfortunately, such mundane things have long lost their appeal to Wang Ping.

There were many snakes playing around in the Mingyue Lake nearby, and the surging waves swept towards the shore from time to time, causing dissatisfaction among other snakes waiting for grilled fish nearby.

When he was close to the ground, Wang Ping stood up and turned into a stream of light and landed on a high ground north of Mingyuetan Lake. There was a unique pavilion here and a small courtyard behind it. This was prepared for Wang Ping by Yu Lian.

Yu Lian turned into a stream of light and fell into the gray water pool, and then the fight became more intense.

Wang Ping leaned against the fence of the pavilion, looking at the lively scene around the pond. He didn't know how much time had passed when a green light flashed in the pavilion.

It was Xin Shi, the ancestor of the spirit snake clan. He looked much better now, although his strength had declined significantly and his life span might not be long.

At this moment, he is no longer his original form, but a green snake no more than two meters long.

"Did you bring Go?"

"Have!"

"Want a round?"

"Okay!"

Wang Ping gladly accepted it. After being promoted to the fourth level, he couldn't even find someone to play chess with. Yu Lian was not good at this, so she was very bad at it and the game was not fun at all.

Wang Ping was a little surprised by Xin Shi's strength. He should be at the same level as Zuo Xuan. Wang Ping felt exhausted in the middle game.

Wang Ping couldn't help but look up at the other person.

Xin Shi's mood is calm and quiet, which is completely different from the nature of the spirit snake clan.

"If you don't take it seriously, you'll lose." Xin Shi reminded Wang Ping when he was in a daze.

"Senior is indeed more skilled!"

"When I traveled around the world with Yuxiao, my greatest pleasure was playing chess on the chessboard. Yuxiao always liked to cheat and use his soul to deduce the chess moves. He thought I didn't notice it. In fact, I was too lazy to say anything to him. After all, if he didn't use his soul to deduce the chess moves, there would be no point in me playing."

"... "

"You can also try to use the soul to deduce."

"I haven't lost yet!"

Wang Ping answered stubbornly, and at that moment most of the boredom and loneliness in his heart disappeared.

Although he spoke with full confidence, when it came to the final counting of chess points, he still lost six points as the black player, which shows the crushing strength.

"Let's play another round." Wang Ping became interested.

"Okay, do you need me to give you two eyes?"

"unnecessary!"

In the second game, Xin Shi played black first.

This time, it was not until the middle stage that Wang Ping felt the strain and immediately admitted defeat.

There was no third game, and Wang Ping began to humbly ask Xin Shi for advice on chess.

No one knew how much time had passed, but the "bonfire party" of the spirit snake clan had ended. Yu Lian returned to Wang Ping's side and fell asleep on his shoulder. She had been sleeping more and more frequently recently, which might be the effect of the inner elixir in her body.

"You seem a little confused?"

Xin Shi's words were very abrupt.

Wang Ping looked up at Xin Shi's gaze and shook his head, "It's not that I'm confused, I just feel a little bored." In the past, he could cultivate his humanity when traveling in the mortal world, but now he feels out of place when he goes back to the mortal world, just like playing a single-player game with an invincible plug-in. He might be interested in it at first, but slowly he will find it boring.

"Then find something for yourself to do, and then look for something that interests you. When Yu Xiao was promoted to the fourth level, he also felt confused, so he studied puppets and spells in his workshop..."

Xin Shi was filled with joy. "There is one thing I remember very clearly. He couldn't beat me in chess, so he wanted to create a puppet with excellent Go talent to defeat me. Later, he actually succeeded."

Wang Ping felt very curious. When he was about to respond, he suddenly felt a faint breath of fire spirit looming in the northern sky. It was the breath of the fourth realm, but it was not the breath of Lord Rongyang!

However, in this world, apart from Lord Rongyang, the only other fire cultivator in the four realms is Taoist Gong Wu.

But in an instant, Wang Ping thought of something.

Someone from the Sun Cult should be trying to advance to the fourth level, and it looks like he is about to succeed, otherwise there wouldn't be such a big commotion.

He stood up, looked toward the north, and said, "I have to go to the north."

Xin Shi didn't understand. His soul couldn't see too far, so he knew nothing about what happened in the north. But he didn't ask, just said, "Since it's important, do it quickly."

Yu Lian had woken up because of Wang Ping's emotional fluctuations. After a brief exchange with Wang Ping in the spiritual sea, she crawled into Wang Ping's sleeve.

...

Qingning City.

The huge sun disk in the city emitted a scorching light, which dispelled the surrounding cold and melted the snow in the city at a speed visible to the naked eye. It also made the people in the city cheer, and then kneel down at their doorsteps to pray devoutly.

Amid their cheers, the sun disk released a dazzling light, and the resulting heat wave blended with the cold air from the north, instantly causing a strong wind to blow, and the snow and dust it raised instantly submerged the city.

Fortunately, there were disciples of the Sun Cult maintaining order in the city. They ordered the residents to return to their houses and then activated the city's defense barrier to block the ravages of the strong wind.

Below the sun's disk.

Deep inside a cave obscured by the smoke and dust emitted by magma, Xu Chun's skin was melting rapidly. The spiritual veins in his body broke out of his body and grew rapidly, turning into an irregular flame body that merged with the surrounding magma, causing the temperature in the cave to rise rapidly, and it seemed that there was a tendency to continue melting the rock walls of the cave.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the Fire Spirit Array built with the "Glass Lamp" as the core absorbed the rapidly rising heat and released it to the sun disk on the surface through the rune lines, and then neutralized the coldness of the north through the sun disk.

However, the energy released by the sun disk this time was obviously overloaded. It did not collapse with the help of the "Glass Lamp", but it made the people in the city suffer. They had never felt such high temperatures before.

A quarter of an hour later.

Near the solar disk that really turned into the sun, Xu Yang suddenly appeared with two black flags in his hands. He mobilized the magic array above the earth to gather the coldness of the northern land, trying to neutralize the high temperature emitted by the solar disk. Other disciples cooperated with the city guards to evacuate the people to the villages and towns in the south.

After an hour, a ray of Buddha's light emerged from the western sky, and then moved from far to near, appearing on the west side of the city. It was Master Kaiyun of Vajra Temple. He looked at the city below where people were evacuated in silence.

Xu Yang felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy upon seeing this, and his spiritual consciousness sank to ensure that his connection with the 'True Fire Banner' existed.

However, Master Kering had no intention of taking any action. He just watched quietly, with no expression of sadness or joy on his face, just like a Buddha statue.

A quarter of an hour later.

The auras of Wang Ping and Lord Rongyang appeared in the south, and in a blink of an eye they had reached the sky above the city. Just as they stabilized their bodies, Cangji's aura also appeared in the south, and then appeared ten miles away on the left side of Wang Ping and Lord Rongyang.

Xu Yang shouted, "Our four-realm quota was promised by the True Lords!"

He couldn't keep his composure after all.

The others did not intend to reply to him, and did not even look at him, but just stared at the sun disk.

Xu Yang was furious, but he didn't dare to lash out. He could only look at the four people in the sky vigilantly.

After a long while, Lord Rongyang said to Wang Ping, "They really know how to take advantage of the situation. They use the 'True Fire Banner' to suppress the violent consciousness that was created when the 'Heart Fire Pill' was taken. If I have a chance, I must grab the 'True Fire Banner'!"

'Heart Fire Pill' is an elixir of advancement made by Sunflower using the True Yang Secret Method, which can gather the heart fire to breed the Fire Spirit.

"Isn't now the best opportunity?"

Ao Bing's voice came from the side, and then he appeared on Wang Ping's right hand side and continued: "The True Lords promised only one fourth-level place, but did not promise the Sun Cult's 'True Fire Banner'. In the past, the Sun Cult did not have a fourth-level cultivator, and fellow Taoists could not do anything about them. If another fourth-level cultivator is born, you will probably never have a chance in this lifetime!"

This made a lot of sense. Wang Ping couldn't help but look at Lord Rongyang.

As expected, Lord Rongyang's eyes showed an excited look. Although Ao Bing's words were trying to sow discord, his words made sense.

Yu Lian said in the Spirit Sea at this time: "The person who was promoted below may have succeeded, but it will take at least a hundred years to breed a true fire spirit."

Wang Ping's soul probed into it and soon discovered a fire spirit vein that had merged with the magma. There were densely packed sunflower runes on the surface of the vein, and in the endless black smoke, there were illusory crimson golden crows surrounding the vein. This was Xu Chun's soul evolving.

Just when Lord Rongyang was undecided, the auras of the five Taoists from the Eastern Sky Palace came closer and closer.

At this time, Lord Rongyang looked at Wang Ping and said, "If there is any problem, please cover for me. Don't worry, I know what I am doing." The greed in his nature finally prevailed.

Wang Ping stopped him and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? We have hundreds of years!"

Lord Rongyang was startled, and immediately came to his senses from Wang Ping's reminder.

However, Ao Bing's words just now were said in public, and Lord Rongyang showed his intention to snatch the "True Fire Banner", which made Xuyang, who was near the sun disk, look nervous.

In the split second of thinking, an idea suddenly came to his mind, and he clasped his fists in the direction of Master Kaiyun and said, "Master Su Wen is fair in his dealings. Now is the moment of life and death for our Sun Cult. I am willing to hand over the 'True Fire Banner' to you, and I only hope that you will protect our Sun Cult!"

"Xuyang, what qualifications do you have to hand over the True Fire Banner to outsiders? It is a magical weapon of our True Yang Sect. If you dare to do this, even if your senior brother wakes up, I'm afraid he will grind you to dust!"

Lord Rongyang rebuked him harshly and threatened: "If you dare to do this, your Sun Sect will no longer be part of the True Yang Sect." He then looked at Taoist Gong Wu and asked: "What do you think?"

"agree!"

Taoist Gong Wu responded indifferently.

Wang Ping couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, and glanced at Ao Bing next to him, who was watching the show with an attitude of indifference.

"What qualifications do you have to wipe out the heritage of my Sun Cult!"

Xu Yang also suddenly realized that his actions just now would lead to his own destruction, but now the arrow was on the string and had to be shot, and he also knew very well that he could not protect the "True Fire Banner" by himself.

It is possible to transfer other disciples, but if so, I am afraid that the Sun Cult will be destroyed and will not be able to protect the "True Fire Banner" in the end.

"Just based on what you just said!"

Lord Rongyang was filled with anger, and then he stared at Master Kaiyun and said, "If you dare to accept it, my Zhenyang Sect and your Vajra Temple will never stop fighting!"

"Saint has mercy!"

Master Kaiyun maintained the one-handed salute, stared at Xuyang with a smile, and asked, "Have you made up your mind, benefactor?" (End of this chapter)
