There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Wang Ping looked at Master Ke Yun and was surprised that he would take the initiative to get involved in this fight. Then he felt the hot energy.

It was Lord Rongyang who was standing next to him. Half of his face was on fire, and he maintained a fixed spell in his hand. Four circles of light of different colors appeared behind him.

As soon as these four circles of light appeared, the spiritual energy in the area gathered towards Lord Rongyang and automatically transformed into fire spirit energy, which was then absorbed by the four circles of light.

"Are you planning to go on a killing spree? You're even using the Four Symbols Spirit Gathering Formation!"

Ao Bing said with a smile.

Lord Rongyang ignored Ao Bing. He looked at Xuyang coldly, waiting for the other party's decision.

Taoist Gong Wu in the distance fixed a spell with his left hand, and then a crystal-like shield appeared on his left hand side. The densely packed crystal surface of the shield was marked with countless sunflower patterns.

Wang Ping recognized the magic weapon that Taoist Gong Wu had used. It was called the Crystal Shield. There was a simple record in Taoist Gong Wu's file: Each of its crystal faces could summon a sunflower on its own, and if used at full power it could melt a continent!
Taoist Gong Wu was in a stable mood, with no sadness or joy on his face, and his eyes were looking at Xu Yang very casually.

Xu Yang had an ugly look on his face at the moment. He was certain that as long as he really dared to express his willingness to hand over the 'True Fire Banner', Lord Rong Yang and Taoist Gong Wu would attack him without any hesitation.

Wang Ping felt the determination of Lord Rongyang, and he quickly made hand gestures with his left hand. Two 'Seven Star Swords' with transfer runes engraved on their surfaces appeared beside him. He used the 'Seven Star Swords' to show his stance, but also to show that he would not fight to the death.

But at this moment, a calm and familiar voice appeared in his ears: "It is not time for the 'True Fire Banner' to leave the Sun Cult. No matter what method you use, keep it in the Sun Cult!"

It’s the voice of Yuanwu Zhenjun!

Wang Ping's heart skipped a beat when he heard the voice, and he felt as if he had traveled through time and space at that moment. It felt a little unreal, but the feeling only flashed by, and then he returned to reality. In reality, Lord Rongyang and Taoist Gong Wu were still looking at Xuyang coldly, Master Kaiyun was waiting for Xuyang's answer with a compassionate look, and Ao Bing and Cangji were just watching the fun.

This situation...

It was obviously difficult to keep the "True Fire Banner" in the Sun Cult. Wang Ping did not have time to think about the story behind Yuanwu Zhenjun's order. Countless thoughts and ideas emerged in his mind.

First of all, we must ensure that the 'True Fire Banner' does not fall into the hands of the Vajra Temple, and then make other plans.

Having made up his mind, Wang Ping began to be secretly on guard. His spiritual consciousness took everything in the area into consideration, and the dense giant web in the world of inspiration also formed in his sight.

He was focusing on Master Keyun who was connected to the giant network. Because of Jin Kemu's characteristics, he couldn't confront Master Keyun directly. He could only use the 'Heaven-Covering Talisman' to temporarily distort Master Keyun's consciousness.

All of this may seem complicated, but it actually only takes a few breaths of time.

Xuyang seemed to have made a decision in these few breaths. He looked up to meet Master Kaiyun's gaze. When he was about to speak, a ball of hot magma came out of his mouth. Then his whole body was submerged in the magma and turned into a fire man.

At the same time, on the left side of Xuyang, an old man in gray Taoist robes appeared. He was skinny and had a Taoist hat on his head. When he looked at everyone with a pair of lifeless eyes, his skinny body instantly became full of energy, and he changed from an old man to a middle-aged man. His left hand had been maintaining a magic spell since he appeared.

"I am a lowly disciple who does not know the seriousness of the matter. I am truly sorry for making a fool of myself in front of you all!"

As he spoke, the magic seal maintained by his left hand loosened, and Xuyang, who had turned into a fire man next to him, returned to his original state when he finished speaking, except that he was not wearing any clothes. However, it was not shameful because there was not an inch of good skin on his body, and the festering skin looked no different from clothes.

"Master..."

"You step back and go accompany your senior brother!"

"Yes!"

Xu Yang left decisively.

Lord Rongyang said at this time: "It turned out to be Senior Brother Kuyang. I thought you had died a long time ago, but I didn't expect you to still be alive."

When Wang Ping heard the title of Lord Rongyang, a file immediately appeared in his mind.

Taoist Kuyang, it is rumored that he is the first humanitarian cultivator to practice "Three Yang True Teachings" after True Lord Lieyang. He was strongly opposed to the establishment of Zhenyang Sect and was later isolated by the Zhenyang cultivators. So, he led his disciples to re-establish the Sun Sect in the Northern Kingdom and never cared about worldly affairs since then. It is rumored that he had died a long time ago due to the exhaustion of his lifespan.

I didn't expect he was still alive and seemed to be in good condition.

Facing the words of Lord Rongyang, Kuyang looked at Ao Bing with an expression that he was too lazy to talk to a fool. He said, "The Third Prince instigated them to fight for the 'True Fire Banner' just to get the corpse of the ancient giant beast under the ground of the Northern Kingdom. You have tried every possible way to get closer to the realm of the True Lord over the years, which can be regarded as using all your efforts. Unfortunately, you have not used your mind in the right way. You are even worse than your brother!"

After he finished speaking to Ao Bing, he turned to look at Master Kaiyun without waiting for Ao Bing to refute, "Master, you are also blinded by one leaf. You forgot what you should take and what you shouldn't take. I'm afraid that if I give you the 'True Fire Banner', you will die here in a flash!"

"Saint has mercy!"

Master Kaiyun clasped his hands together, bowed and said, "The Buddha said, if I don't go to hell, who will? If my death can save the North from disaster, why shouldn't I sacrifice my life for justice?"

"... "

Yu Lian complained in the spiritual sea: "This old monk is so shameless!"

Kuyang sneered and said, "Kaiyun, do you know why you are not as good as Minghui? It's because your six senses are not pure!"

Kaiyun's face flashed with anger when he heard this, and then he said, "Fellow Daoist, are you going to break your promise?"

"Now it seems that you are not even as good as your three nephews from the Vajra Temple!"

After Kuyang finished speaking, he quickly made hand gestures with his left hand, and a flag with a crimson halo appeared at his side. The surface of the flag was interwoven with dense sunflower patterns, and in the middle of the interwoven patterns there was a ball of flame. The flame looked ordinary, but looking at it would make your eyes feel stinging.

"You want it? Here you go!"

In front of everyone's shocked gaze, Kuyang threw the 'True Fire Banner' towards Kaiyun.

Ke Yun didn't expect things to turn out like this. He instinctively reached out to take it, but when this thought came to his mind, his consciousness suddenly became hazy again. Although it was only for a moment, by the time he reacted, the hot breath had already hit him in the face.

The scorching breath was the "Fire Killing Technique" performed by Lord Rongyang, and his trance was caused by Wang Ping using the "Heaven-Covering Talisman" to interfere with his consciousness.

Kaiyun was not nervous. He calmly mobilized the golden spiritual energy and instantly built several defensive barriers in front of him. Then, a metallic halo appeared on his skin all over his body. At the same time, a mysterious magic circle formed behind him and finally turned into a circle of light.

When the circle of light was formed, an illusory Dharma body ten feet tall emerged behind him. In the right hand of the Dharma body, a real golden seal was held up, looking extremely solemn and dignified.

"呲"

The flames penetrated the defensive barrier constructed by the golden spirit aura and quickly ignited the entire sky. At the same time, Lord Rongyang was like the sun falling from outer space. He followed the trajectory of the 'True Fire Banner' in the state of 'transforming into fire' and attacked the area where Kaiyun was.

At the critical moment, Cang Ji transformed into a series of Yin thunders and tried to snatch the "True Fire Banner". The nearby Taoist Gong Wu intercepted him immediately.

In just a moment, the sky above Qingning City was pierced by flames, thunder and the powerful force of tearing space, and the snow on the ground instantly turned into boiling water!
There were also continuous loud noises like doomsday, as if the sky was about to fall down at the next moment.

The people around the city didn't even have time to scream before they were engulfed by the boiling water. The boiling water turned into ice crystals, and a barrier appeared above the ground. It was Ao Bing who did it!

Wang Ping was a little surprised by Ao Bing's performance, but he focused more on the "True Fire Banner". At this moment, it had returned to Kuyang's hand. The previous throwing was just a diversion.

After counting the interest.

Lord Rongyang and the others stopped their actions one after another. They looked at Kuyang who was holding the True Fire Banner, but they did not speak, because if they spoke at this moment, they would definitely be laughed at by Kuyang.

Ao Bing, who had just done a "good deed", suggested: "Since you all want to get the 'True Fire Banner', why don't you join forces and wait until you get it before going to outer space to do something? Moreover, you can do it without worry. With me here, the land of the North will not be damaged at all!"

Ku Yang was startled, looked at Ao Bing and said, "I underestimated you."

After that, he met everyone's gaze.

Wang Ping said at this time: "Everyone, don't make things difficult for Ao Bing. The True Fire Banner is not so easy to obtain. It's a small matter for you to take the True Fire Banner. What will the cultivators of the world think of us then?"

This statement lacks some confidence.

Fortunately, as he finished speaking, a shadow flashed across the sky in the distance, and Bu Qiong's figure appeared, saying, "Daoyou Changqing is right. What you did just now is really unspeakable. You are all lords of the mansion personally appointed by the True Lords, but your behavior is no different from that of robbers. How can you convince the cultivators of the world?"

After she finished speaking, she arrived at the scene, looked around and said, "The True Fire Banner needs the coldness of the North Country to suppress its violence. It will be useless if you hold it in your hands, so why bother?"

After listening to Bu Qiong's words, Taoist Gong Wu turned his head to glance at Wang Ping, then bowed, and turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky.

Lord Rongyang first glanced at Gong Wu who was leaving, and then sent a message to Wang Ping, "What's going on?"

Wang Ping shook his head slightly at Lord Rongyang, then looked at Master Kaiyun and asked, "Master, what do you think?"

"Saint's mercy."

Master Kaiyun maintained the Buddhist one-handed salute, looked at Taoist Kuyang seriously, and restored his expression to a neutral one. Then the Dharma image behind him turned into golden light and disappeared.

"I have committed the sin of greed, and I will punish myself by facing the wall for a hundred years. I will not attend the Second Session Meeting for the next hundred years."

After saying this, he fled away.

Cangji's eyes swept across the 'True Fire Banner' and turned into a streak of lightning and disappeared into the sky.

Yu Lian said in the Spiritual Sea at this time: "They all look righteous and righteous, and they are supported by the people's incense every day, but they are no different from ordinary people."

These words made Wang Ping blush a little. At first, he was quite tempted when he heard about seizing the "True Fire Banner". After all, in the last battle in outer space, a third-level cultivator was able to fight against several fourth-level cultivators with it. Although they did not use their full strength at that time, they were worthy of being said to have some of the power of the True Lord.

Wang Ping thought of this and glanced at the True Fire Banner again. Before the pain in his eyes came, he turned his gaze away and looked at Lord Rongyang. He said, "Let's discuss it in the long run."

After saying this, he bowed to Bu Qiong who was the last one to arrive at the scene, then turned into a stream of light and returned south with Yu Lian.

Lord Rongyang stayed there for a few breaths, then disappeared in the direction Wang Ping left.

Ao Bing flicked his wide sleeves, bowed to Bu Qiong, and then flew to the west where the Vajra Temple was without looking back.

After everyone left, Bu Qiong said to Ku Yang, "I will have nothing to do in the next hundred years, so I will stay here to protect him."

"Thank you!"

Kuyang clasped his fists.

Bu Qiong said coldly: "You made a wrong move. You shouldn't be promoted to the fourth level."

Kuyang smiled bitterly, "No one in the world can bear this temptation."

"That's true, but you have to know that once you enter the fourth realm, you will be noticed by the Dao Palace. You can't refuse our request. You are not the one on Lingshan Mountain."

"By then I will really be dead. No matter how big the problem is, it won't be my turn to take care of it. I have done the best I can!"

...

On the top of an unnamed snow mountain to the west of Yunhai Grassland.

Wang Ping looked at the endless grassland below. It was still night in the Central Plains at this moment, and the grassland was very deserted.

In the thick snow next to her, Yu Lian was teasing a snow fox. This snow fox looked about the same size as a white fox, but its eyes were gray.

Soon, Lord Rongyang landed beside Wang Ping.

"What happened just now?" he asked anxiously as he landed.

"Do you really have to have the 'True Fire Banner'? It is irreplaceable?" Wang Ping asked back.

"Not really, but it might actually have a way for me to become a True Lord."

"You believe this nonsense?"

"But that was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"The Sun Cult openly opposed True Lord Lieyang, but now they are not only fine, but they have also obtained a place in the Fourth Realm. Are you planning to use yourself to test the depth of the water here? Have you forgotten the lesson of Lord Liuyun?"

Upon hearing this, Lord Rongyang fell silent and did not speak for a long time.

Wang Ping looked at the snow fox that was being toyed with by the rain lotus in the night and said, "Ao Bing seems to have plans for the Northern Kingdom. I don't know what his plans are, but I know I don't want him to succeed!"

"If you had taken action just now, the Sun Church would have been wiped out directly, which would not be in our interests. We need stability now. We need to steadily take over everything in Zhongzhou, and then quietly wait for Zhigong to be promoted to the fourth level. In this way, for a long time in the future, as long as we follow the general trend, no one in the world can control us."

Lord Rongyang looked up at the dark sky. "You are really cautious, but you have convinced me. You are right. Now we have to ensure Zhigong's promotion so that we can seek our own safety. Only when we are safe can we plan for other things."

At this point, his eyes flashed with fire, "Ao Bing is very dangerous, we have to find a way to suppress him"

Wang Ping shook his head gently. "His existence is indeed very dangerous. Just like Taoist Kuyang said, he will do almost anything to achieve the fourth realm perfection. But in this world, only Taoist Ao Hong can plot against him, otherwise he will have to bear the wrath of the Dragon King." (End of this chapter)
