There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Before they knew it, Lord Rongyang had already taken out two jars of fine wine. Unfortunately, both Wang Ping and Lord Rongyang had cultivated themselves, and there was no wine in the world that could make them both drunk.

There is a special kind of melancholy when drinking wine that does not make you drunk, but the two of them do not have such emotions. They just drink and enjoy the scenery out of habit. This is the price of immortality. Wang Ping does not think there is anything wrong with it, because what he is cultivating is transcendence.

"Did Huishan Zhenjun really want to turn all the living beings in the world into puppets, which led to him losing his soul consciousness and going crazy because he was besieged by the Zhenjuns?"

Wang Ping gently stroked the sleeping Yu Lian lying on top of him and asked in a low voice. At this time, night had already fallen in the sky.

Lord Rongyang put down his wine bowl, shook his head and said, "I don't know either. It happened very suddenly, and I hadn't yet been promoted to the fourth realm at that time. I just regarded the story of True Lord Huishan as a legend."

After he said this, he added: "With the wisdom of the True Lord, I don't think he would make such an unwise choice. If he did, he wouldn't be discovered so easily. But, having said that, this matter is not important, and you don't need to delve into it."

"makes sense!"

Wang Ping nodded in agreement. He subconsciously wanted to ask Master Lieyang some questions, but stopped himself at the tip of his tongue. His foundation was too shallow now, and many things were not suitable for him to ask, otherwise he would reveal his thoughts.

As the night was about to start, Wang Ping was about to enter a state of meditation to do his daily homework when Lord Rongyang said, "When we talked about the war more than a thousand years ago, I forgot to mention one thing. Our Zhenyang Sect signed an alliance with you and Yuqing Sect at that time. This alliance will exist for a long time in the future."

Wang Ping just nodded when he heard this, and then he entered into a state of meditation.

Lord Rongyang stood up and walked to the gate of the courtyard, looked at the small spiritual wood forest outside, and walked under a sturdy spiritual tree to meditate.

The night passed like this.

When Wang Ping opened his eyes, there was a faint light in the sky. Yu Lian also opened her eyes at this time, but then she went back into her sleeves and continued to sleep. Wang Ping got up and walked out of the yard, to the end of the path in the spiritual woods outside.

Most of Wolong Mountain can be seen from here. When Wang Ping's soul spreads, he can also sense the Duantian Mountains that cut off Zhongzhou and the Demon Realm. The Duantian Mountains have a strong aura of earth veins. It is rumored that True Lord Diwen is sleeping there, but it has not been verified.

"Now the time is ripe to drive the two fourth-level cultivators of the Underworld Gate out of the Central Plains. How about I initiate this proposal?" Lord Rongyang appeared silently beside Wang Ping.

"I wonder if we are doing the right thing by sending them to the border one by one!"

“That’s not something you should consider.”

"But I will bear the consequences!"

"This is how the world is. You have spent six hundred years to advance to the fourth realm. You have monopolized 10% of the luck in the world, so you must bear more consequences!"

Wang Ping remained silent as he looked at the sunlight that was becoming brighter and brighter in the sky.

If order collapses in the near future and returns to an era of chaos, the consequences he has created now will surely come back to haunt him one by one.

Lord Rongyang was silent for a while, then said, "Have you forgotten what you said last night? The Zhenyang Sect and the Yuqing Church will become your allies."

Wang Ping just clasped his fists and said nothing.

He was already able to guess what the Yuqing Sect and the Zhenyang Sect were going to do. They wanted to help the Taoist lineage of True Lord Xuanqing enter the land of Zhongzhou, and Wang Ping could only passively accept it.

There is also Yuanwu Zhenjun, and only God knows what he is going to do.

After saying this, Lord Rongyang clasped his fists and said, "I will return to the Zhenyang Sect first. If you have anything, please contact me directly. I will not be in seclusion for the next five hundred years."

"it is good!"

After Lord Rongyang left, Wang Ping admired the sunrise over the mountains alone.

It was beautiful, and could be described as a stunning scenery, but it could not cause the slightest ripple in Wang Ping's heart.

When the sun was hanging high in the sky, Wang Ping saw a puppet bird falling towards him. It was the puppet bird that he used to connect with Guan Xi.

...

three days later.

Guan Xi came to him under the leadership of Liu Shuibin.

"Greetings to Lord Changqing. I hope you are well!" Guan Xi was wearing a scholar's narrow-sleeved robe, with a loose jade belt around his waist. His hair was tied together with a jade hairpin, and he held a paper fan in his hand.

Wang Ping first waved to Liu Shuibin, looking like the owner of this courtyard. After Liu Shuibin left, he said, "It's been a long time since we last met. I have come all the way here thanks to your help, and I haven't thanked you yet."

He clasped his fists in return and checked Guanxi's condition. In his eyes, Guanxi looked like a Qigong practitioner who had just started practicing, with an empty Qi sea and no spiritual veins in his body. Under the observation of the great network of heaven and earth connected by the 'Tongtian Talisman', the network connecting him was like a bright moon in the dark, emitting a dazzling white light.

In other words, his status still exists within the rules of the universe, but it is a little special. Therefore, his existence and method of practice are also recognized by the rules of the universe, and he is more sacred than the monks of the Yuqing Sect, as if he is really a god in the sky in the mythology.

"It's just that we both get what we need. If I really want to thank you, I should thank you, Lord Fu."

Guan Xi clasped his fists again, looking extremely polite.

Wang Ping kept his smile and did not continue to be polite. He invited Guan Xi to sit in the courtyard and then talked about business directly: "How was the last incident? Who intercepted you? It's embarrassing to say that I have practiced Taoism for more than 600 years, but I couldn't find a helper in a hurry. Thanks to the help of fellow Taoists, I was not in a passive position."

"It's pretty much what you expected. There's Master Lingyuan from the Vajra Temple. He hasn't appeared in nearly two thousand years. The fact that he can attack at this moment shows that your opponent has really invested a lot. There's also the two from the Underground Cave Gate, but they just watched from afar and didn't attack directly. This may be because you didn't show up."

Guan Xi's tone was very casual, as if he was discussing academic matters with someone.

Yu Lian woke up from her deep sleep, crawled out of her sleeves and climbed onto Wang Ping's shoulders. She couldn't help but ask, "Are they planning to attack us the same way we attacked Yang De?"

This was Wang Ping's subconscious thought, but he rejected it immediately. These three people probably just wanted to hold him back temporarily so that he could not escape, and their ultimate goal was to occupy the right to speak in the northwest and take back the four realms quota of the Cave Gate.

Therefore, their methods were a bit crude and seemed to be open cards. Their original intention was probably to go head-to-head with Wang Ping, Rongyang Fujun and others, and the success or failure would be determined by the victory or defeat.

They even dragged Yang De into this, but they never expected that Yang De would suddenly go crazy, causing their plan to deviate and ultimately fail.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that they may have murderous intentions!

"That's not something I can know, and I'm not interested in knowing." Guan Xi replied with a smile.

"What are you interested in? The so-called balance? If the spirituality of the world is disrupted, which side will you join?" Yu Lian asked.

"Which camps can we join?" Guan Xi asked back, his tone very relaxed, as if he was joking.

Yu Lian naturally couldn't answer this question, because she didn't know either. Her golden pupils moved slightly, and after glancing at Wang Ping, she said, "You should understand what I'm asking. Don't change the subject."

Guan Xi did not answer immediately. He looked at Wang Ping and after two breaths of silence, he responded, "Our living space is very small. The saints ask us to pursue great love and the balance of all materials. Therefore, our goal is to use balanced means to walk out of this small starry sky and see the outside world." He emphasized here, "The premise of all this is to preserve our world."

"But you already have three factions within yourselves, yet you set such a grand goal for yourselves. Don't you think it's funny?" Yu Lian said in a tone of disbelief.

“It’s just that the methods are different, but our goals are the same!”

Wang Ping stretched out his hand and tapped the table lightly, thus ending the topic. If they continued the discussion, it would be about their respective understandings of ideology, and the debate would be endless.

He asked the main question: "Are you sure that the earth vein cultivator who attempted to steal the fourth realm quota has been dealt with?"

Guan Xi nodded, clasped his fists and responded: "If we are asked to confront three fourth-level monks head-on, it would be a bit difficult, but it is easy for us to deal with a third-level monk. The difficult part is to convince ourselves that his existence destroys the balance."

Wang Ping nodded thoughtfully after hearing this. He was overthinking things. According to his method, only by delaying the three fourth-level monks from the Vajra Temple and the Underground Cave Gate could he free up his hands to deal with the chess pieces left by Lord Liuyun. The Jimin Association would have the means to face the problem head-on and then get away with it.

"Thank you for your help, fellow Taoist. I appreciate your help!"

"Since you have accepted my kindness, I do have something that I need your help with!"

Guan Xi made the request without any hesitation.

Wang Ping looked up towards the sun, letting the gentle rays fall on his face. He smiled and replied softly, "Tell me about it."

Guan Xi looked at Wang Ping who was calm and collected, thought for a moment before speaking: "Daoyou still remember the Taoist from the South Sea, right?"

"You want to deal with him?"

"We want his soul and his spiritual body. Theoretically, his soul has been polluted. His existence is polluting this world. We are interested in how he balances this pollution."

"You want to study the possibility of advancing to the fourth realm through the side door?"

"That's just one aspect."

"The Vajra Temple has been behind him for so many years and still hasn't figured it out. Are you sure?"

Wang Ping turned his head and looked at Guan Xi seriously. The supporters behind the Taoist from the South China Sea were no secret among the cultivators in the Four Realms. The Vajra Temple had originally used the Taoist from the South China Sea to disrupt the spirituality of Zhongzhou and try to re-enter Zhongzhou.

Guan Xi said confidently: "Everyone has his or her area of ​​expertise. The monks in the Vajra Temple are too focused on form. Even if they are given another thousand years, they may not be able to figure it out."

Wang Ping was naturally willing to participate in this matter. He pretended to think for a while and said, "You want to drag me along to fight against the harassment from the Vajra Temple, right?"

"No, we just need the Lord to help us conceal the secrets, and propose to wipe out the remaining forces of the Nanhai Taoist at the Second Meeting, and then help us build a transfer array when we besiege the Nanhai Taoist to prevent him from escaping!"

"you sure?"

Wang Ping was a little confused. The Taoist from the South Sea was already a wanted person by the Taoist Palace. There was no need to bring this up at the Second Seat Meeting. All he needed to do was give an order. Bringing this up would only alert the enemy.

Then, he understood something and asked, "Do you know where the Taoist from the South Sea is hiding?"

Guan Xi said with a smile: "When Xiaoshan Mansion Lord was promoted, the Taoist of Nanhai showed up, and we marked his whereabouts. He was too confident with the painted face mask in his hand and thought he could distort everything."

When he said this, he turned his head and looked at Wang Ping, and said: "If you capture the Taoist from the South Sea, I can give you the 'Jia Shang Ling Si' in his hand. It can exert its greatest power in your hands."

"Oh?"

Wang Ping just nodded.

Yu Lian sensed Wang Ping's true thoughts and immediately asked, "When will we take action?"

Guan Xi thought for a moment and said, "We'll have to wait another 150 years or so!"

"Why?"

Yu Lian was puzzled.

Wang Ping remained listening.

Guan Xi explained: "Although the cultivation of the Taoist of Nanhai is not very good, the 'Jia Shang Ling Si' in his hand is very troublesome. Daoyou should have fought with the two treasures of the Sun Cult before? The 'Jia Shang Ling Si' in the Taoist of Nanhai is more difficult to deal with than the treasures of the Sun Cult. We need to prepare a magic weapon to fight against it."

He asked with hope on his face, "The divine jade pen in Lord Xiaoshan's hand is ranked 'A-3'. It can tamper with all materials and even change a failed promotion to a successful one. But the price is too great. Who has it now?"

Wang Ping shook his head blankly, "I don't know about this matter!"

He didn't even know that the magic jade pen of 'Jia Shang Ling San' was originally in the hands of Lord Xiaoshan.

"Oh?"

Guan Xi responded softly, then stood up and clasped his fists and said, "If the Lord agrees, I will go back to prepare and send someone to inform the Lord."

He turned the topic back to the siege of the Nankai Dao people.

Wang Ping didn't think too much about it and said, "Okay, I have nothing to do in the past few hundred years anyway."

Upon hearing this, Guan Xi bowed solemnly, then said goodbye and left.

Yu Lian looked at the light in the sky that was gradually fading away and said, "It feels like this world is becoming more and more complicated, with all kinds of tangled relationships and the minds of the True Lords that are impossible to guess."

After she finished speaking, she changed her tone and said, "Oh, forget it, I'll sleep first!"

After that, she shrank and crawled into Wang Ping's sleeve, but then she crawled out again, looked up at Wang Ping, and asked, "I haven't tasted fresh shrimp for a long time. Is there any big river nearby?"

After she said this, she flew up into the sky and her body continued to grow bigger.

"Don't disturb Zhigong's promotion ceremony."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on. Although I don't like the aura of the earth veins here, I won't destroy it!"

There were disciples from the cave gate waiting near the courtyard. When they saw the rain lotus rising into the sky, someone immediately notified the higher and lower levels. When they saw the rain lotus flying towards the nearby river, the disciples on the riverside received the news soon after. (End of this chapter)
