There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

The matter of Guan Xi did not cause Wang Ping too much emotional fluctuation. The only thing that concerned him was the 'A-0-4' that Guan Xi promised, but that was all he cared about.

Zhi Gong's promotion did not cause any waves. On the one hand, Wang Ping was there to protect the law. On the other hand, after Lord Rongyang returned to the Zhenyang Sect, he immediately put pressure on the other two fourth-level cultivators from the Diku Sect.

There is also a key point. After the death of Lord Yangde, the Yuqing Sect had an extra rank in the Four Realms, causing the Vajra Temple and the Taiyin Sect to focus their attention on the Hushan Kingdom, which was mostly destroyed.

Just when Wang Ping was watching the fight between the two tigers, Dong Can reported something to him through the communication token. It was the disciples of the "First Day" in the northwest region who secretly asked Qianmu Temple for help because the Zhenyang Sect suddenly intensified its suppression of the "First Day".

Wang Ping knew that this was Lord Rongyang venting his dissatisfaction. After all, he had already obtained a place in the fourth realm, but because his disciples were not motivated, it fell into the hands of the "First Day".

After a little consideration, he asked Dong Can to use other channels to provide a certain degree of help. After all, the "First Day" glove is sometimes really useful.

Fifteen days after Wang Ping stationed at Wolong Mountain, there was still no news about Zhi Gong's promotion, but Liu Shuang brought news first that Wen Hai's promotion to the third level was very smooth and he had passed the most dangerous stage. The next step would only require decades to stabilize his soul and spiritual body.

Three days later, good news came from Taoist Wu who had moved to Xishi Road. He might have obtained a third-realm quota after he eliminated those third-realm cave monks in the eastern waters of Dongzhou half a year ago. He also passed the critical period of promotion two days ago and successfully absorbed the vitality of a giant mountain.

The fact that the two of them were successfully promoted at this time was largely due to Zhi Gong's promotion. It also made Wang Ping realize that Zhi Gong's promotion time might be approaching.

Just as Wang Ping was patiently waiting for Zhi Gong's promotion, he received good news from Liu Shuang, saying that Lin Chen, the eldest disciple of Guangxuan of Sanhe Temple, had been promoted to the third level using his unconventional techniques.

When Wang Ping thought of Guangxuan, his human thoughts diverged involuntarily, and then he used the luck formation to deduce, and found that the cause and effect between him and Guangxuan had been broken.

Although the cultivation in this world does not have the three disasters in the mythology of Wang Ping's previous life, and there is no need to worry about being killed by a bolt of lightning one day, nor does one have to worry about the biting cold wind and the burning flames, the difficulty of cultivation cannot be overcome by perseverance.

Although the archives of the Taoist Palace mentioned some means of interfering with promotions, either one would use one's own life to achieve success for others like Taoist Wan Zhi, or one's consciousness would become distorted after promotion. None of them was normal.

Time passes unknowingly, and another Spring Festival is approaching.

There was no festive atmosphere at Wolong Mountain. The disciples stationed at the various mountain peaks had solemn expressions, making it difficult for Yu Lian to go to the river to catch shrimps to eat.

The twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.

The earth spirit of the Wolong Mountains suddenly sank, and an invisible tension spread throughout the entire Wolong Mountains. The gravity of the earth changed at this moment, and countless plants rose from the ground and floated in the air. Magic arrays rose one after another throughout the Wolong Mountains, and each magic array was maintained by hundreds of disciples of the Diku Gate using the earth veins in their bodies.

In a sealed cave deep underground, bright yellow light swayed back and forth, echoing the halo of the magic circle that appeared on the rock walls and ground around the cave. In the core area of ​​the magic circle, a woman in a light yellow Taoist robe sat cross-legged, with her soul standing above her head, echoing the magic circle in the cave.

She is connecting her soul with the earth spirit of Wolong Mountain to materialize the mountain's geomantic omen. This step can only be done by her, and only by accomplishing this step can it be possible to nurture the earth spirit in her body.

"Calm down, you won't fail!"

Taoist Wan Zhi's cold voice sounded. She sat cross-legged outside the core of the magic circle, paying close attention to the status of the bow.

Zhi Gong took a deep breath and completely released the earth spirit in her soul sea, driving the magic circle under her. The rune routes on the edge of the magic circle immediately spread to the entire mountain range. After a moment, it connected with the magic circles maintained by disciples from various peaks to form a giant magic circle.

When the magic circle was formed, gravity changed again, and it seemed as if a huge pulling force was suddenly generated between heaven and earth, trying to pull something out of the mountains.

"So this is how the Catacombs are promoted!"

Yu Lian lay on Wang Ping's shoulder, her golden eyes looking at the earth spirit aura surging between heaven and earth and said, "They first cultivated a giant earth vein based on Wolong Mountain, and now they are peeling off this giant earth vein."

Wang Ping nodded without commenting.

Half an hour later.

Although the pulling force constructed by the magic circle was sufficient, it still failed to break away the earth veins of Wolong Mountain. Then the disciples from each peak changed their formation, and the surging power of the earth veins immediately returned to its original state, and all the earth spirit auras instantly calmed down.

The first attempt was unsuccessful.

The bow in the underground cave entered into a state of meditation immediately, restoring the earth spirit energy in his primordial spirit sea.

A day passes in a flash.

Zhigong tried again, but still failed.

three times.

four times.

Until the tenth time, as the Wolong Mountains shook, the earth veins were uprooted, and a wood spirit formation appeared between heaven and earth, sealing the earth veins that were exposed to the air and were about to collapse.

After counting the interest.

Huge earth veins converge towards the underground of the central area of ​​Wolong Mountain.

It was Zhigong's soul that was performing some secret method, absorbing the illusory power of the earth veins through the magic circle constructed around the soul, and then entering her body through the center of the eyebrows of Zhigong's spiritual body.

The next moment, Zhi Gong's skin began to crack, and fine ochre-colored particles emerged from the cracks. At the same time, Zhi Gong's soul was slowly solidifying.

"Don't think too much, the master is right beside you!"

Taoist Wan Zhi's voice sounded again. She maintained a fixed spell with her left hand, and her soul on top of her head was wrapped around a black turtle. She stared at the bow with a look without any sadness or joy.

Zhi Gong immediately used his own cultivation to suppress the negative emotions that should not appear in human nature. He tried to drive his soul to absorb the energy of the earth veins, and gathered it towards his chest according to the records of the "Earth Sutra" to give birth to the prototype of the earth spirit.

This step requires a lot of time and more importantly, sufficient patience, because if you are not careful you will lose focus and your consciousness will be dominated by the power of the earth veins you just absorbed. In this case, the worst case scenario is that you will go crazy, and the worst case scenario is that you will die on the spot.

At this critical moment, a powerful pulling force appeared in the entire Wolong Mountain and gathered towards the area where the bow was located. This was an instinctive counterattack of Wolong Mountain's consciousness.

Several mountains collapsed under the influence of this pulling force, and after the collapse, the mountains were all covered with sand, as if those mountains were made out of yellow sand.

The cracks on Zhigong's body continued to expand, but in a blink of an eye, she could no longer be seen. On the chest of her split spiritual body, a fist-sized, round substance emitted a light yellow halo, and extended dense meridians, allowing her body to disperse without falling. At the same time, Zhigong's soul's hand gestures changed rapidly, causing the magic circle in the cave to produce an invisible earth-yellow barrier along the rock wall and floor. The surface of the barrier was engraved with dense earth vein sealing runes, and life and death light curtains flashed on the surface of the sealing runes.

"Boom"

A pitch-black lightning that could distort the space suddenly streaked across the sky. The lightning was very strange, and the whole sky and earth became pitch black when it flashed by. It penetrated the Wolong Mountain and landed on the surface of the barrier formation constructed by Zhigong.

Wang Ping looked up at the sky, and at that moment, he saw a crack in the big net of the universe.

Yu Lian asked: "Such a big noise? Is it a thunder punishment?"

Wang Ping replied: "No, it was the counterattack of the Wolong Earth Vein Consciousness, which even triggered the cosmic consciousness!"

As they were talking, pitch-black arcs of electricity penetrated the earth vein barrier and the light curtain of life and death. Zhigong's soul immediately summoned a khaki tower, and the black arcs of electricity were immediately attracted to the tower and all sank into it.

The peaceful atmosphere lasted only two breaths, and then the tower turned into ashes, and the arcs of electricity disappeared.

Wang Ping made some hand gestures and after a simple deduction, he felt some spiritual consciousness peeking over, so he used the "Heaven-Covering Talisman" to block the energy of Wolong Mountain.

Liu Shuibin is already organizing the lower-level disciples to evacuate the core area of ​​Wolong Mountain. They have done what they can, and staying any longer will only be a hindrance.

Zhi Gong was still in her previous state. Her torn spiritual body maintained basic vitality. The surging earth vein power was locked in her spiritual body that seemed to be on the verge of collapse at any time. It gathered towards her heart through the dense meridians, and condensed into the prototype of an earth spirit at a very slow speed. Her soul was devouring the remaining consciousness of the earth vein power to strengthen itself.

“Is it stable?”

Yu Lian asked as she looked at the devastation all over Wolong Mountain.

Wang Ping casually threw out some plant seeds and said, "It's still early. Her current state is very unstable, and this unstable state may last for a very long time. Even if it is a third-level cultivator who has cultivated humanity to the extreme, it is almost impossible to maintain this state for a long time. Moreover, her promotion this time will definitely alarm the sleeping Diwen Zhenjun."

"That…"

"Let's just watch quietly. Even if there are any problems, we have Taoist Wan Zhi."

"it is good!"

Soon after Yu Lian responded, she crawled into Wang Ping's sleeve and continued to sleep. At this time, Lord Rongyang's spiritual consciousness descended, and Wang Ping gave a positive response.

Then, the other two members also used their spiritual consciousness to investigate, but they were all blocked by Wang Ping's "Heaven-Covering Talisman".

The Spring Festival is coming soon.

Wang Ping used the "Dongtian Mirror" to observe the entire Zhongzhou and spent this year's Spring Festival from a puppet's perspective. Although the new emperor of the Datong court was not a capable ruler, he was not stupid either, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

After the Spring Festival, people from all over the country start to worship their idols. The number of temples enshrining Wang Ping's golden statue has increased significantly this year, making the map of Zhongzhou of his magic array more detailed. During this period, Yu Lian communicated with the believers on behalf of Wang Ping and cast water magic to cure many sick believers.

After the excitement, it’s busy again.

Half a year passed like this, and it was June of the 162nd year of the Daogong calendar.

The Yuqing Sect officially split on the sixth day of this month, splitting into the Yuqing Sect and the Shangqing Sect. A group of disciples who believed in Lingshan Zhenjun split from the Yuqing Sect and migrated to Xizhou to establish the Shangqing Sect, while the disciples who believed in Xuanqing Zhenjun continued to stay in the Yuqing Sect to practice.

A melee was inevitable, but Lord Yuxing turned a blind eye to it. The split disciples of the Shangqing Sect fought and retreated, entering the Monster Territory from the northwest of Hushan Kingdom, and entering Zhongshan Kingdom along the southern border of the Monster Territory.

The disciples of Yuqing Sect were blocked at the border of Zhongshan Kingdom. Naturally, they were blocked by the Vajra Temple of Zhongshan Kingdom. This caused dissatisfaction among the Yuqing Sect. They sent out more than ten third-level monks to pursue them. They fought with the monks of Vajra Temple at the border of Zhongshan Kingdom, causing the nearby coastline to collapse.

The Demon Realm turned a blind eye to their fight and only sent two Jindan-level tiger demons to observe in the southern jungle and bring the news of their fight to the Zhongzhou continent.

Because Wang Ping predicted the split of the Jade Purity Sect, the progress of fusing the 'Heaven-Covering Talisman' increased by two points, and the total progress reached (30/100).

In less than fifty years, he had completed almost one third of the integration progress, thanks to the changing situation in the world, otherwise it would have taken at least a hundred years.

After winter.

On a cold morning, Wang Ping woke up from his meditation as usual, and Yu Lian was still sleeping with her arms wrapped around him.

He was feeling a little strange today, so he stood up and walked to the edge of the spiritual woods, looking at the mostly destroyed Wolong Mountain. The originally devastated scene had been mostly repaired by the monks of the Diku Gate, but the core area was ignored because that was where Zhigong was in seclusion.

There was something wrong with Zhigong's condition at the moment. No, it was not Zhigong's condition that was wrong, but the aura of the earth veins suddenly became thin, as if the aura of the earth veins here had been sucked dry by something overnight.

Wang Ping immediately expanded his spiritual consciousness and figured out what was going on in just a moment. The endless earth seemed to come alive and was constantly absorbing the earth's spiritual energy. This was not only true for Wolong Mountain, but the entire Zhongzhou continent.

This made Wang Ping think of a possibility: Diwen Zhenjun woke up briefly.

However, it was not waking up in the traditional sense, because he was still unconscious, otherwise he would not have absorbed the earth spirit energy on such a large scale.

“No wonder no one in the Underground Cavern Gate can advance to the fourth realm. This is simply a huge pitfall!”

Wang Ping thought to himself.

As for going far away from Zhongzhou Star to outer space for advancement, it is possible, but it would take more than 500 years to cultivate the earth vein power similar to that of Wolong Mountain in outer space, and it would cost a lot to transport supplies back and forth.

Unable to gather enough earth spirit energy, the earth vein power in Zhi Gong's body cannot be nourished, and the earth vein magic circle she constructed will also lose most of its effects.

At the critical moment, Taoist Wan Zhi stretched out his right hand, put his index and middle fingers together and touched the center of the eyebrows of Zhigong's broken body, and said softly: "The future path depends on you."

After saying that, her fingertips pierced Zhigong's forehead, and a magic circle suddenly appeared from inside, completely surrounding Taoist Wanzhi. The next moment, Taoist Wanzhi's trained earth spirit body was sucked into Zhigong's body by the magic circle.

Taoist Wan Zhi did not collapse because of this. Her soul still existed. Her soul first sat on its own and abandoned its own consciousness. Then it turned into dots of earth-colored light, all rushing towards Zhigong's soul. (End of this chapter)
