There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Lake and mountain country.

The sky above the eastern sea was filled with purple lightning within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

This was the Yin Thunder of the Taiyin Sect. The light it emitted illuminated most of the Hushan Kingdom. Countless demons and human cultivators were terrified, and ordinary people looked up at the sky in confusion.

Dense lightning flashed down from the clouds, creating waves and white fish on the sea. The lightning was about to approach the shallow sea where many fishermen were fishing. They looked at the sky with a blank mind, perhaps they didn't know why the clear sky was suddenly filled with lightning.

The first thing that hit was not the lightning, but the rolling waves caused by the lightning. Wherever the dense purple light in the waves passed, all the fish turned into dregs, making the blue sea turn blood red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Just as the fishermen were about to be swallowed by the lightning like the sea fish, a compassionate voice sounded from the sky: "Saint, have mercy!"

Then, a faint golden light flashed, blocking the lightning and sweeping the fishermen on the sea to fly towards the nearby shore.

"Fellow Daoist Cangji, why are you so angry?"

Kaiyun's voice was neither sad nor happy. When his voice spread, the hearts of all lives within hundreds of kilometers were soothed. At the same time, he appeared on the coast, and light golden halos appeared with him as the center. The halos spread out like golden sand, and most of the purple Yin thunders collapsed directly when they came into contact with this halo.

The remaining lightning gathered dozens of kilometers away from Kaiyun, and in a blink of an eye, it formed a figure. It was Cangji. There was no Kaiyun in his eyes, but he was staring at Yang De who was standing on the auspicious clouds above Haicheng behind Kaiyun.

"Yang De is doing evil things and actually wants to use the Purple Sky Divine Thunder to destroy millions of people in Haicheng. I have captured him according to the Dao Palace regulations. Why are you pretending to be kind and righteous here? Also, aren't you punishing yourself by facing the wall? Why are you here?"

Cangji only looked at Kering when he spoke, with an expression that said he was too lazy to talk to Kering.

Kaiyun smiled widely, automatically skipped the last sentence, and turned to look at Yang De, "Is there some misunderstanding here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuxing Mansion Lord appeared in the western sky of Haicheng along with a cloud of auspiciousness. She looked at the situation expressionlessly, without any emotion at all, like an outsider.

"How could there be any misunderstanding? We saw it with our own eyes."

Cangji didn't wait for Yang De to say anything, and put a big hat on him first, "I saw him killing the third-level monks of Yuqing Sect with my own eyes. Two of them have been killed by him just now. If I hadn't stopped him, I'm afraid that the yin and yang would be out of balance in an instant, and spiritual creatures would descend from the world of inspiration to reality, tempting the monsters in the mountains to cause trouble to the world. By then, everything will be too late!"

He then pointed to Wang Ping and Rong Yang under the clouds behind him, "Daoist Fellow Changqing and Daoist Fellow Rong Yang can testify!"

Then he pointed to the Yuqing Sect's headquarters. The fairy mountain that had just been repaired some time ago was now half destroyed. In the ruins, two turbulent energy currents were tearing the space apart. It looked like two invisible big hands were pulling the space barrier. From time to time, distorted bright matter emerged from the cracks in the space.

That was the distortion of rules caused by the collapse of the Yuqing cultivator's soul. After the universe in his body lost its restraining force, the collapse of his golden elixir looked like a miniature universe disintegrating.

Master Kaiyun said with a smile: "I believe that Fellow Daoist Yang De has his own reasons, and this is also the responsibility of the Yuqing Sect. If a lord is held accountable by the Dao Palace for dealing with two third-level disciples, then everyone present will be struck by lightning."

"Have you forgotten why the Vajra Temple was driven out of Zhongzhou thousands of years ago? Are you going to talk nonsense with your stinky mouth again? Or are you too old and your cultivation has regressed, so you can't even hear what I say?" Cangji looked like he was going to break off relations with Kaiyun, staring coldly at him, "I just said that he wants to kill all the third-level cultivators of the Jade Purity Sect."

Kering listened happily, and then said patiently: "But it didn't happen, did it? You are talking about something that hasn't happened yet..."

"Okay!"

Yang De interrupted in an impatient tone. He was wearing a wide Taoist robe at the moment. There was a Bagua pattern on the wide sleeves and on the back. His right hand always maintained a Taoist one-handed salute. He had a square face, a seven-foot long snow-white beard on his chest, and his hair was shiny black, tied together with a jade hairpin. There was a night owl at his side, and his whole body exuded the power of thunder and lightning.

That is the legendary Blue-Feathered Night Owl. It is rumored that he can follow cultivators to practice secret techniques, and his practice speed is astonishing. However, he seldom makes contracts with cultivators. So far, there has not been a single cultivator in the Taoist Palace who has successfully made a contract with the Blue-Feathered Night Owl. There are some mortals who have made contracts with them for various reasons, and none of these mortals have the talent for practice.

"Since I dare to do it, I don't intend to be a coward!"

Yang De looked at Cang Ji, his voice piercing the vast sky and echoing between heaven and earth: "The world shouldn't be like this. I have no objection to the flourishing of humanity, but why should we be sacrificed? The Five Sects of Xuanmen cannot understand my principles, can't you, the Taiyin Sect, understand it?"

Cang Ji responded without any hesitation: "I agree with your point of view, but I disagree with your approach. I advise you to surrender. We can still intercede for you, otherwise what awaits you will be punishment from heaven!"

"What a punishment from heaven!"

Yang De's eyes were wide open with anger, and colorful rays of light flashed around him. The moment the colorful rays of light appeared, Wang Ping, Rong Yang, Kai Yun, Cang Ji and Yu Xing in this world all used their souls to lock onto his aura.

"Xuanqing! Xuanqing! Come out here!"

Yang De's voice penetrated the sky and earth and spread to outer space. Its powerful penetrating power made the earth, mountains, rivers and plants tremble. The people in Haicheng only felt a stinging pain in their ears, as if there was a sound they could not understand, followed by tinnitus and dizziness.

"Come out, don't be a coward. My Yuqing sect took you in with good intentions, but you stole our foundation. You are not worthy of looking down on me from a high position. You don't..."

Before he could utter the word "match", a green flying sword swept across the area where he was. It was the hand of Yuxing Mansion Lord on the other side. At this moment, a compass emitting green light was suspended beside her. From time to time, auras that distorted the rules of heaven and earth emerged above the compass. These auras gathered into dense flying swords under the control of Yuxing Mansion Lord.

"I am currently in charge of the Yuqing Sect. Junior brother, you have exceeded your authority." Yuxing Mansion Lord's tone was full of warning. "If you can turn back from your wrong path now, I can ask the other True Lords to forgive your crime."

"I have been practicing till now and have never lost my way!"

Yang De's eyes fell on the compass that was emitting green light. "Xingjian, if I remember correctly, Lingshan Zhenjun used the golden elixir rules of his practice to create this set of magic tools because he felt that you, Senior Sister, could protect Yuqing's orthodoxy, but now you are pointing it at me!"

As he spoke, he pointed his left hand at the void, and a pitch-black disc appeared out of thin air on his left. When the disc rotated, the surrounding space seemed to rotate as well, emitting an ink-like halo that connected with the rotating space, looking like flowing ink. The blue-feathered night owl spread his wings, and the purple thunder magic array was looming on the surface of each feather on his wings, and his wandering body was as erratic as lightning.

Lord Yuxing did not speak again. Countless illusory flying swords constructed by the "Star Sword" magic weapon in front of her fell towards Yang De's position like raindrops.

"squeak"

It was like the sound of a dilapidated wooden door opening. The flying swords hit the black disc, were deflected and splashed in all directions, most of them pouring down towards Haicheng and the Yuqing Sect’s headquarters.

Night Owl wanted to fight back but was stopped by Yang De. He had to flap his wings to the side, and suddenly a divine thunder fell and hit a mountain outside Haicheng, leaving a cracked deep pit.

"Don't worry, the Yuxing Mansion Lord's 'Star Sword' is also known as the 'Heart Sword'. It will not cause any substantial harm to a third party. It will only attack the target that the caster's soul has locked onto!"

Lord Rongyang sensed the change in Wang Ping's mood and reminded him in a low voice. As soon as he finished speaking, the flying swords in the sky fell to the ground without leaving any trace.

Wang Ping was just influenced by the humanity he developed in his previous life. The peaceful and stable life in his previous life made him sympathize with all the weak. This could not be concealed unless he sealed up everything from his previous life.

Lord Rongyang pointed at the pitch-black disk and said, "That disk is called 'Hong Shield'. As the name suggests, its energy is like a rolling torrent. Not only can it shield magical attacks, but its hardness is also rare in the world. Ordinary attacks are almost useless against it."

Wang Ping used his 'clairvoyance' to examine the dark disc, and saw energy particles that even his soul could not observe clearly, and that were distributed extremely evenly and regularly. When the flying sword landed on its surface, the force would be quickly unloaded, and then it would be pulled by the powerful force it emitted.

The ink that seems to be flowing around it is actually a physical phenomenon caused by breaking the sound barrier when it rotates. In Wang Ping's eyes, this thing is more like a special material created when civilization has developed to a certain level. It has more attributes of a technological product than magical rules.

Just when Wang Ping was about to observe carefully, Yang De put away the "Hong Shield" because the Yuxing Mansion Lord on the opposite side sacrificed several daggers with golden lightning. The moment the daggers appeared, the area where the Yuxing Mansion Lord was located flashed with colorful light, the rules of the Jindan Universe appeared, and ten Yuxing Mansion Lords appeared out of thin air.

It is the Yuqing Sect's more famous 'incarnation' technique!
Lord Yangde made a hand gesture with his left hand, and the space around his body twisted instantly. Then a lake appeared out of thin air in the sky. The moment the lake appeared, his body sank into it. Then there was a violent storm between heaven and earth. Huge waves surged up in the lake in the wind, and dense lightning flashed across the sky.

Strong winds, lightning and huge waves blocked out the sky and were about to swallow up the earth.

Master Kaiyun was already preparing to rescue the people. The five incarnations of Yuxing Mansion Lord looked up at the sky at the same time, while the other five made hand gestures and pointed lightly forward. Illusory colorful lights flashed by like a breeze sweeping away fallen leaves, and the torrential rain that covered the sky suddenly disappeared. The surging lake water quickly dispersed and finally dissipated into nothingness.

At the same time, the magic circle that constructed lightning in the clouds underwent some changes in its rules, so the lightning could no longer continue, causing the night owl to cry continuously.

And all these changes happened in just a blink of an eye.

Yang De used two magical spells, "Call the Wind and Summon the Rain" and "Turning the Ground into the Sea". The spells looked simple and seemed useless to cultivators, but they contained the cosmic rules of the golden elixir. Even a cultivator in the fourth realm could not escape easily after being infected by them.

Lord Yuxing used the "Star Movement" to stagger all magic changes.

At the same time, her other five incarnations constructed the five energies of gold, wood, water, fire and earth respectively, trying to use the rules of the five elements' mutual generation and mutual restraint to forcibly destroy the golden elixir rules constructed by Yang De. After breaking Yang De's magical powers, they controlled the five elements' power in their hands, and their eyes fell on the rain remaining between heaven and earth.

That was the 'Water Escape' spell used by Lord Yangde and his pet.
The next moment, the five elements of energy gathered in the hands of Lord Yuxing turned into colorful light that streaked across the void, interweaving under the clouds to form a huge magic circle.

"Boom!"

The invisible energy in the magic circle continued to multiply and restrain, reaching a critical point in an instant, and then exploded naturally.

The powerful impact overturned most of the clouds. The people of Haicheng who had escaped the previous wave of strong winds were not able to escape this time. The strong pressure caused countless houses to collapse, and the jungles on the mountains and land were overturned, and the exposed new soil was overturned again.

Yu Lian couldn't help but say in her spiritual sea: "She must have studied your 'Power Pill'!"

Wang Ping caught Yang De's breath at the first moment. He was at the core edge of the explosion. The surging power of the five elements tried to disintegrate the energy particles formed around him, and then decompose him as a whole. The "Hong Shield" he summoned was useless because the five elements energy ignored it.

Therefore, at this moment, Yang De can only use the energy of the Golden Elixir Universe in his body to neutralize the powerful energy driven by the five elements reaction.

"This thing is really useful. Fellow Daoist, do you have any idea of ​​refining some 'power pills' that can suppress the energy of the four realms?" Lord Rongyang looked at Wang Ping and asked.

Wang Ping did not answer this question. He asked instead, "The Dao Palace archives record that the Jade Purity Sect has 108 kinds of magical powers. Is that true?"

"It's true. They used the magic they developed from the universe rules of the golden elixir in their bodies. However, true Yuqing cultivators rarely use them. Only side sects practice them. They call these 108 magical powers "avoiding the three disasters". If you cultivate them fully, you can live forever. But in fact, you can only cultivate to the third level at most. Besides, except for a few, the combat effectiveness of many magical powers is pitifully weak. Some second-level weapon cultivators can bully them."

Lord Rongyang nodded in response.

Wang Ping said thoughtfully: "If this is the case, it would be very troublesome to kill a fourth-level Jade Purity cultivator!"

"Yes, they have a magical power called 'Resurrection from the Dead'. As long as the Golden Core Rules are not destroyed, they can always be resurrected within the Rules. It's very troublesome."

While the two were talking, the energy swept by the Five Elements energy reaction had weakened to the point where it could no longer threaten Yang De.

Lord Rongyang continued, "But we don't need to stand out too much this time, there will be people who care more about this than us..." As he said this, he looked at a flash of purple lightning that passed through the sky.

That is Cangji from the Taiyin Sect! (End of this chapter)
