There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

After Ao Bing finished speaking, he looked straight at Lord Rongyang. At this time, Lord Rongyang calmed down and did not raise any more opinions. Bu Qiong and Man Su looked at each other. They were both smart people, so they also shut up.

Perhaps because Kaiyun had said too much just now, he did not express his opinion at this time. Yuxing Mansion Lord had an attitude that it was none of his business, and Cangji was watching the show quietly.

The silence lasted for a few breaths. Everyone except Yuxing Mansion Lord looked at Wang Ping vaguely. Wang Ping knew that he had to express his opinion. He met everyone's gaze and said slowly, "This is a temporary resolution. If there is any disagreement, we can talk about it next time. Let's end today's regular meeting here."

Lord Yuxing cut off the projection signal as soon as Wang Ping finished speaking, followed by Lord Rongyang, as if he was afraid that everyone would come up with any more ideas.

Bu Qiong and Man Su clasped their fists and left at the same time, followed by Cang Ji and Ao Bing. Kai Yun seemed to intend to stay until the end. He stood up and saluted Wang Ping with one hand, and said, "Should the anti-Buddhist movement in Zhongzhou be stopped?"

Wang Ping was stunned. He almost forgot about this.

So, he pretended to think about it and said, "This matter was originally the decision of the court, and we should not interfere too much in the secular world. Since fellow Taoist has asked, I will give it a try."

"In that case, thank you very much, fellow Taoist."

Kering saluted solemnly, and then cut off the projected consciousness.

Wang Ping then cut off the connection with his consciousness as well. As his vision shifted, he saw the familiar night scene of Baishui Lake. A waning moon was reflected on the lake surface, and the light of the starry sky was constantly twinkling between heaven and earth, converging towards the place where Hu Qianqian was in seclusion.

The huge body of the rain lotus floated on the lake, emitting a little bit of cold air from time to time. A large part of the water spirit energy produced by the Baishui Lake was absorbed by the rain lotus, and the rest blended with the twinkling stars between heaven and earth.

Wang Ping looked at everything in front of him calmly. Before he knew it, it was already the second half of the night and he entered into a state of meditation out of habit.

Early the next morning.

Wang Ping was just about to kill time by fishing and using the 'Dongtian Mirror' to observe Hushan Kingdom, but at this moment, the aura of Lord Rongyang suddenly emerged, and then appeared above Baishui Lake.

"Ao Bing is trying to disturb our peace."

Lord Rongyang came to Wang Ping's side and told him what happened last night at the second meeting.

Wang Ping smiled and said, "Because he doesn't have much time left. Once Ao Hong escapes, he will be in trouble. So we have to muddy the waters now."

"Another idiot who doesn't follow the trend!"

"But he is different from others. He has the Dragon King behind him. Ordinary people really can't do anything to him."

Upon hearing this, Lord Rongyang looked as if he had swallowed a fly, and then he sighed, "This matter cannot be delayed for too long. The Star God Alliance will definitely support Ao Bing. The only way to solve it now is for me to go to the Moon Station in person to take charge, so as to guarantee our interests."

Wang Ping was slightly surprised, looked at Lord Rongyang and asked, "Is the Moon Base so important?"

"There is a large amount of gold in outer space, and we can also collect energy from extraterritorial monsters. We need enough extraterritorial energy, which is related to our practice..."

Lord Rongyang said this while moving his arm joints constantly, looking a little impatient. "When you reach the fourth level, you will know why. For example, the Golden Crow Fire Spirit in my body needs a lot of energy to nourish it before it can move forward. Otherwise, it will take tens of thousands of years of practice to reach the threshold of the True Lord, but I don't have that much time."

"Because the spiritual energy of Zhongzhou Continent cannot satisfy my current practice, on the other hand, I have an energy gathering array set up in outer space, which is collecting spiritual energy from the universe all the time and then transporting it back through the transfer station on the moon."

As Lord Rongyang spoke, he took out a fiery red crystal. The crystal contained extremely rich spiritual energy, which attracted the sleeping rain lotus in the lake to open their eyes, and then they flew up and stared at the crystal.

Wang Ping was also a little surprised after his spiritual consciousness probed into it. The spiritual energy contained in the crystal was equivalent to the total spiritual energy generated by the Five Dao Mansion in a month.

The conditions for the generation of spiritual energy in this world are complementary to those of cultivators. For example, the spiritual energy consumed by a cultivator will be slowly generated from the spiritual veins in his body when he is meditating. It can circulate infinitely like air.

Of course, there will definitely be consumption in the circulation process, which requires monks to plant spiritual trees and other plants rich in spiritual energy to balance it, or when some monks die, their bodies will also become nutrients for the generation of spiritual energy.

Lord Rongyang watched Wang Ping thinking, and further explained: "The fourth realm cultivation of the five sects of Xuanmen all revolves around the five elements of the spirit body in the body. Although the methods are different, the ultimate goal is the same. They all need to cultivate the spirit body to a strong enough state before they can touch the fifth realm."

"And the spiritual energy in Zhongzhou is simply not enough for us to practice. As I said just now, if we practice like before, it will probably take tens of thousands of years to touch the threshold of the fifth realm. If we forcibly absorb spiritual energy, other practitioners will have no way to go. I think you can do this with your current cultivation level."

Wang Ping nodded slightly, so he felt that the fourth realm was incompatible with this Zhongzhou star. According to his understanding of the cultivation world in his previous life, when he reached the fourth realm, he should ascend to the upper realm, but there was no upper realm in this world.

The only option is to leave Zhongzhou Star and practice in outer space. This is probably what the True Lords did. It is also likely that they had this consideration when they drove all the star gods to the outer border more than a thousand years ago.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Wang Ping's mind. Yu Lian landed on Wang Ping's shoulder and looked at the crystal in Lord Rongyang's hand. Her golden vertical pupils were full of a demanding look.

"If that's the case, I think it would be better to give up the Moon Base." Wang Ping expressed his thoughts.

"impossible!"

"Listen to me, the future situation is unpredictable. Look, in such a short period of time, two fourth-level cultivators have already died. In the future, a crisis may come in an instant, and the Moon Station is bound to become the target of public criticism. Since Ao Bing wants to get involved, we might as well take this opportunity to let them in."

"But…"

"The situation in the world is changing rapidly. Maybe we will have new opportunities hundreds of years later. In addition, you are only eyeing the transit station of the Moon Base, but don't forget that I am a Taiyan cultivator. If you and I join forces, we can open up a secret transmission channel in outer space in just a few decades. Isn't this safer than the Moon Base?"

Lord Rongyang's eyes lit up, and he threw the crystal in his hand to Yu Lian. Yu Lian wanted it very much, but flicked her tail and threw it back.

"Haha~"

Lord Rongyang chuckled, took the crystal that was thrown back, and politely gave it to Wang Ping, saying, "I was in a hurry and forgot about your magical powers."

Wang Ping took the crystal with a smile and handed it to Yu Lian on his shoulder. Yu Lian then bit the crystal, flew up into the sky and dived into the nearby lake.

In the following time, Wang Ping and Lord Rongyang discussed this matter. To build a secret transfer channel, the most critical point is to place a fixed meteorite in the starry sky close to Zhongzhou Star as a transit.

Lord Rongyang's opinion was to let several third-level earth vein cultivators do this task first, and then let her make improvements after the bow was successfully promoted.

After Wang Ping nodded his agreement, Lord Rongyang hurried to implement the matter. After Lord Rongyang left, Yu Lian emerged from the lake and spoke in human language, "He was just acting with you. His purpose of coming here is to get you to build this transfer channel."

Wang Ping chuckled and said, "I know."

...

Two years later.

Before they knew it, it was another routine meeting. This time, Ao Bing's idea succeeded as expected. In the end, Taoist Bai Wan took the initiative to ask to go to the border outside the domain, so Taoist Yunsong stayed in the Moon Station.

At this meeting, Qingjiao applied to join the Taoist Palace again, but was still not approved. In the words of Lord Rongyang after the meeting: They only know how to please the Vajra Temple. They are a bunch of hopeless idiots. Even if they are sucked dry of blood by the Vajra Temple, they can never enter the Taoist Palace.

This means, if you want to enter the Taoist Palace, you have to give enough benefits to everyone!
Wang Ping didn't feel anything about this. What he cared about was the Jade Purity Sect's quota for the fourth realm. However, until the 170th year of the Dao Palace calendar, no Jade Purity Sect's third realm cultivator was willing to try.

On the morning of the ninth day of the third lunar month of that year, the demonic energy gathered in the Baishui Lake area suddenly gathered in the hall where Hu Qianqian was in seclusion. The illusory demon pill floating above Hu Qianqian's head in the hall suddenly solidified after absorbing the demonic energy, changing from its previous energy state to physical matter.

Wang Ping, who was in a dozing state, woke up immediately, and his spiritual consciousness penetrated into the hall where Hu Qianqian was in seclusion. Yu Lian also woke up from her sleep.

The first thing Wang Ping observed was the demon pill emitting a strong demonic aura.

When he saw the demon pill, Wang Ping subconsciously used his 'spiritual vision' and immediately saw billions of energy particles. They formed countless complex spirit gathering arrays, absorbing the demonic energy between heaven and earth all the time. These demonic energies blended with Hu Qianqian's bloodline power to form an independent world, thus creating new rules.

Hu Qianqian opened her eyes after a while, her blue eyes rolled twice, then she opened her mouth and swallowed the demon pill floating above her head, and then her illusory soul returned to her body.

The moment her soul returned to her body, Hu Qianqian's snow-white hair exploded all over her body. The awakened blood power made brilliant stars appear around her. At the same time, the blood power in her body was quickly transformed by the demonic energy produced by the demon pill she swallowed. In just a moment, her body merged with the demon pill.

The next moment, all the starlight gathered into Hu Qianqian's body. She stretched out her front paws to scratch the cushion of the cloud bed, then stretched comfortably. Then she turned her head to look at the gate as if she remembered something, then jumped off the cloud bed and ran quickly towards the gate.

But when she reached the gate, she stopped abruptly, gently moved her furry ears, and with a surge of demonic energy, she changed into human form, adjusted her gray-white Taoist robe, stretched out her hand and pushed open the door gracefully.

There were many white foxes gathered outside the gate, as well as Niu Qi and Wang Ben. When they saw Hu Qianqian coming out, they all saluted in a very formal manner. Hu Qianqian just waved casually, then looked towards the direction of the dock. When she saw the familiar figure, her tail swayed gently behind her, and her furry ears also tilted back.

Then, she walked down the steps of the house quickly and flew up to the direction of the dock. After a few breaths, she landed lightly on the dock. She stepped on the heavy wooden planks, walked to Wang Ping's side, knelt down and bowed, and said, "Thank you, Master, for protecting me."

"Get up."

Wang Ping raised his hand casually.

Yu Lian then soared into the sky, hovering above the lake, and said to Hu Qianqian, "What changes have occurred since the promotion?"

"I feel like I've mastered a few more spells!"

"What are they? Do you want to try them with me?"

They were about to fight.

Wang Ping naturally did not interfere, but just watched quietly.

Hu Qianqian thought about it for a moment and nodded, "I hope Master Yulian will show mercy."

"Haha, come on!"

Yu Lian's body suddenly grew larger and flew away from the central island area.

Hu Qianqian followed closely behind.

Soon, a dense "water net" was formed above Baishui Lake, and the powerful impact force was about to fall on the central island. Wang Ping just pointed his hand and a protective shield formed by an "armor symbol" was formed to block the "water net" outside.

Brilliant starlights appeared out of thin air around Hu Qianqian. They had the ability to burn. The water net turned invisible when it came into contact with the starlight. However, Yu Lian's "water net" was invisible to begin with, and the direction of attack was full of uncertainty. The more you resisted it, the more it would be generated.

However, in the blink of an eye, dense water lines appeared around Hu Qianqian. She did not panic. She changed the spells in her hands, and a strong demonic energy surged in her body. Combined with the starlight that appeared around her body, her body was pulled into an illusory space, allowing her to easily avoid the impact of the 'water net'.

"Okay, come again!"

Yu Lian opened her mouth wide, and the runes on the surface of her scales opened up. An uncomfortable heat suddenly emanated between heaven and earth. But then a hint of confusion appeared in Yu Lian's golden vertical pupils. Although it was very brief, the spell she was casting was interrupted.

"Is it an illusion?"

Yulian asked curiously.

Hu Qianqian clasped his fists and said, "Yes, after the promotion, the blood power awakened can use the starlight to perform some illusions, but it seems to have no effect."

"Hehe, that's you using it on me. I'm Yu Lian, and illusory things are useless to me."

Yu Lian first smiled triumphantly, then said: "This spell is very powerful, it can directly pull the cultivator's soul into the illusion, it is very useful for people with weak soul cultivation, especially weapon cultivators, in the future, you can beat up ordinary third-level weapon cultivators at will!"

Wang Ping listened to their conversation quietly, then took out his private communication token, and Liu Shuang sent him a message that he had learned from the puppet.

Wen Hai was successfully promoted and was sending out invitations to hold a grand celebration ceremony in Pingdongmen.

A month later, Taoist Wu from Xishi Road also succeeded in being promoted. At the end of the year, news came from Sanhe Temple that Guangxuan's eldest disciple Lin Chen was promoted to the third realm.

However, the next day, bad news came that Guangxuan had passed away in Sanhe Temple.

Wang Ping sighed silently when he received the news. (End of this chapter)
