There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

When Yu Lian's voice sounded, a light screen panel popped up in front of Wang Ping's eyes. He had predicted on the 'Heaven-Covering Talisman' in his early years that Xu Chun would be promoted to the fourth level. Now that Xu Chun had successfully been promoted, his progress in fusing the 'Heaven-Covering Talisman' increased by two points, reaching (48/100).

In the past hundred years, Wang Ping has deduced many things, but because they were all insignificant little things, the fusion progress only increased by 9 points in a hundred years. Based on this, it can be inferred that if Tai Yan cultivator does not plan some major events that affect the situation in the world, he will not be able to completely integrate the "Heaven-Covering Talisman" within nine hundred years.

Wang Ping stood up under the gaze of his disciples, then looked at Liu Shuang and said, "Finish this game of chess for me and Qianqian. I have something to deal with."

When he finished speaking, he had disappeared from the spot.

When he appeared again, he was already in outer space. It would be faster to go directly to Beizhou from Zhongzhou than to enter from outer space because of the magic arrays set up by the True Lords.

However, Wang Ping had no plan to enter Beizhou. He flew to the outer space of Beizhou with Yu Lian but did not enter the atmosphere. Instead, he hovered outside the magic circle set up by the True Lords, quietly watching the fire spirit energy surging into the outer space and fell into deep thought.

After a while.

A familiar aura descended on the outskirts of Beizhou. When Wang Ping was still trying to recall who it was, Yu Lian spoke up first, "It's Taoist He Feng from the 'First Day'."

Wang Ping calculated with his fingers and immediately realized that it was time for the Zhenyang Sect's rotation. In the next two hundred years, Taoist Gong Wu from the First Sect would replace Taoist He Feng to guard the base near the sun.

"Have you repaid He Feng the favor that Lord Xiao Shan owes you?"

The voice of Lord Rongyang rang in Wang Ping's ears.

Wang Ping turned his head and saw Lord Rongyang still the same. The only change was that the 'starry sky umbrella' beside him was very dazzling, creating an illusory starry sky turbulence in the starry sky around him.

Yu Lian was very envious of the "Starry Sky Umbrella" because she felt that the strange phenomenon of the turbulent starry sky was very majestic.

"It has already been paid off!"

When Wang Ping answered Lord Rongyang, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously. His ability to repay the favor of Taoist Hefeng was closely related to Lord Rongyang. At the beginning, the quota of the four realms of Zhenyang was replaced by 'First Day', and Lord Rongyang wanted to get it back through other means. However, Wang Ping chose to remain neutral in accordance with the agreement with 'First Day', and the chip offered by Taoist Hefeng was that favor.

Lord Rongyang was startled for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Just return it. The situation may change in the future." His spiritual consciousness locked onto Taoist Hefeng in Beizhou.

Wang Ping immediately understood what Lord Rongyang meant. Taoist Hefeng had obviously joined forces with the Sun Cult, and his purpose was obvious. He wanted to use the power of the Sun Cult to help his disciples advance to the fourth realm, while the Sun Cult wanted the influence of the "First Day" in Zhongzhou.

"Tell me, why did he take out these two places?"

Lord Rongyang's question was very abrupt.

Although the question was inconsistent, Wang Ping knew very well that Lord Rongyang was referring to Lord Lieyang. The sudden arrival of two places in the fourth realm of True Yang had disrupted the balance of various factions within the True Yang Sect. It was only a matter of time before a civil war broke out.

As long as a civil war breaks out in the Zhenyang Sect, given the current situation in the cultivation world where everyone is part of each other, it won't take long for the entire cultivation world to become a mess.

Wang Ping couldn't understand why True Lord Lieyang wanted such a chaotic situation, and what were the attitudes of the other True Lords?
Wang Ping usually skipped over questions he couldn't figure out. He then looked at Lord Rongyang and asked, "Theoretically, all True Yang Sect monks should be under the command of Lord Lieyang, right?"

Lord Rongyang was startled for a moment, then replied, "Yes!"

Wang Ping laughed and asked, "Master Xu Chun has been promoted to the fourth realm. Aren't you going to take him to see Master Lieyang?"

"Humph, does he dare to go?"

"Whether you dare to go is one thing, but you are just doing your routine work!"

"No need, He Feng probably came here for this. I don't like to use my warm face to stick to other people's cold buttocks!"

Wang Ping smiled and said, "Even so, you can go and see what they are planning when he comes to see the emperor."

Upon hearing this, Lord Rongyang fell into deep thought, and then said, "That's true. Anyway, I have nothing to do recently!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned into a stream of light and flew towards the Moon Station.

Yu Lian stretched her neck to look at the direction where Lord Rongyang disappeared, and said, "It seems that your guess is correct. Most of the True Lords' dojo are in outer space, perhaps on a certain star in front of us!"

Wang Ping smiled indifferently and looked at the stars in the distant sky. Then he lowered his head and looked at the gradually extinguished fire spirit in Beizhou. He changed the spells in his hands and returned to the dojo on the top of the mountain in a blink of an eye.

The game between Hu Qianqian and Liu Shuang was still going on under the old locust tree, and compared with before, both sides had only placed three chess pieces. When the disciples stood up to salute, Wang Ping waved his hand, signaling them not to be too polite, and then sat casually beside the coffee table, making tea while watching the two disciples play chess.

Yu Lian invited Shen Xiaozhu to the pavilion next to them for a private conversation.

Liu Shuang was a little nervous after Wang Ping sat down. This was because they had not communicated as master and disciple for a long time. However, as time passed, her nervous mood gradually calmed down.

Hu Qianqian seemed calm the whole time, except that after sitting for a long time, she would occasionally use her hands to smooth the hair on her ears, and her tail would wag back and forth, which was the remnant of the demon nature.

This game ended in a draw, mainly because Wang Ping was fiddling with the chessboard by himself before the middle game, which resulted in the chessboard situation being a draw.

"You should pay attention to the movements of 'First Day', but don't conflict with them. Just monitor them. If there is any problem, you can use the communication token to inform me." Wang Ping gave the order while pouring tea for Liu Shuang. None of his puppets could pass the screening of 'First Day', and the intelligence of 'First Day' could only be checked by internal affairs.

"Speaking of 'the first day', they were specifically mentioned in the routine report of the Internal Affairs Bureau a month ago, saying that the core members who entered the country had retreated to the backstage, and some members who were frequently active had also disappeared."

Liu Shuang looked at Wang Ping and said, "At first I thought it was the cultivators of the True Yang Sect who were secretly suppressing them, but after investigation I found that this was not the case, at least not in the southern cultivation world."

Wang Ping picked up the cup and took a sip of hot tea, then said, "Continue monitoring!"

Liu Shuang nodded.

Wang Ping looked at Hu Qianqian and said, "Do you want to play another round?"

Liu Shuang clasped his fists and responded: "Disciple still has a lot of things to deal with, let me take my leave first."

"Okay, go and do your thing." Wang Ping smiled, watched Liu Shuang leave, then looked at Hu Qianqian and asked, "Did you bring your zither?"

"Bring it!"

"I haven't heard it for a long time. After you play a song, go back to your own business."

"Yes!"

The beautiful piano music soon echoed in the garden, and Yu Lian and Shen Xiaozhu in the pavilion turned their heads to look over.

The song ends.

Wang Ping, who was leaning against an old locust tree, waved his hand gently to let Hu Qianqian leave without waiting for her to speak. Hu Qianqian had no choice but to put away her guqin, clasped her fists and bowed silently, then left silently.

Yu Lian came over with Shen Xiaozhu at this time.

Wang Ping opened his eyes, looked at Shen Xiaozhu and said, "Everything is ready. When will you go into seclusion to break through to the third realm?"

Although it seems on the surface that Wang Ping has been letting Shen Xiaozhu practice as he pleased, in fact, he has already arranged everything Shen Xiaozhu needs for her practice. Because she now has the powerful Qianmu Temple as her backing, she doesn't need to go through as much trouble as when Wang Ping practiced.

"I plan to stay silent for ten years before looking for an opportunity for promotion. It just so happens that I have just accepted two disciples, and I can teach them how to practice while cultivating my character!" Shen Xiaozhu responded softly.

Wang Ping was silent for a while, then said, "You have always had your own ideas, and I, your teacher, have never interfered with you. You have taken your own path, and I hope you can keep going!"

"Disciple will remember the master's teachings."

"Okay, you can get busy too."

"Disciple retire!"

After Shen Xiaozhu left, Yu Lian landed on the branch of the old locust tree and said, "Xiaozhu failed to merge with the locust tree's spirit the first time, so her spirit veins were partially damaged. However, her spirit consciousness is very stable, even more stable than when you first practiced."

Wang Ping stood up and walked to the coffee table. He performed a "cleaning technique" to clean the area around the coffee table. He responded, "As long as she can maintain the stability of her soul, and I will protect her spiritual veins, there will be no problem with her promotion."

"Ok!"

Wang Ping was very satisfied with Shen Xiaozhu's current condition.

The successful promotions of Xuan Ling and Xia Wenyi did not make Gan Shen Xiaozhu lose his awe of the third realm, nor did he become overly anxious because they surpassed him.

Xuan Ling and Xia Wenyi both have their own strengths. Xuan Ling has one-sixth of the spiritual consciousness of the Demon King, so it is easy for him to be promoted to the third realm. Xia Wenyi is born with excellent physique, and he also has the foundation polished by Taoist Yucheng.

Shen Xiaozhu has nothing, she is just an ordinary cultivator. The only difference is that she has a more determined heart to pursue the Tao than Xia Wenyi and Xuan Ling.

This heart that pursues the Tao allows her to remain humble and cautious, while at the same time maintaining awe of the Way of Heaven.

...

Time flies, and ten years go by in a flash.

Just three months after Shen Xiaozhu went into seclusion, and also on the third night after Wang Ping handed over the second chief position, a surge of earth energy flashed from the direction of Wolong Mountain.

Wang Ping, who was in meditation, suddenly woke up, then turned into a stream of light across the sky, and appeared above Wolong Mountain in a blink of an eye. He immediately used the "Heaven-Covering Talisman" to block the secrets of this place.

The next moment, Wang Ping felt the spiritual consciousness coming from the southeast sea.

It’s Ao Bing!
Wang Ping unceremoniously used the 'Heaven-Covering Talisman' to distort Ao Bing's spiritual consciousness, and used the 'Heaven-Connecting Talisman' to infuse the idea of ​​self-destruction into Ao Bing's consciousness.

Ao Bing immediately withdrew his soul and no longer paid attention to what was happening here.

Yuxing Mansion Lord from the direction of Yuqing Sect also cast a glance, but it was only for a moment. Finally, two soul consciousnesses from the Vajra Temple came to investigate, and Wang Ping used the "Heaven-Covering Talisman" without hesitation!
"Boom~"

Several feet high spikes suddenly appeared in the ground around Wolong Mountain, instantly swallowing up most of the jungle. Fortunately, this area had been uninhabited for half a year.

Yu Lian rose into the air, her body restored to its original length of five feet, and floated beside Wang Ping. She observed her surroundings and said, "The earth spirit's aura is a little chaotic, it's unconscious!"

Wang Ping nodded, stretched out his left hand and lightly pointed forward. Hundreds of blessing talismans appeared immediately and then fell around Wolong Mountain to form a simple wood spirit formation, suppressing the chaotic earth spirit aura.

Liu Shuibin landed behind Wang Ping at this time, clasped his fists and bowed, saying: "Greetings to Lord Changqing!"

Wang Ping ignored him and stared at the ground below the main peak of Wolong Mountain.

The prototype of the earth spirit in Zhigong's body has been completed, and the power of the earth veins has also been combined with his soul. The change just now was the last resistance of the power of the earth veins, but it was easily suppressed by Wang Ping.

After a while.

Zhi Gong woke up from her trance. She looked around blankly at first, then whispered softly, "Master..."

She was stunned for more than ten breaths before she stood up. When she stood up, the magic circle maintained around her suddenly became dim. At the same time, a huge rock fell from the dome, but did not touch the ground because the gravity rules in the cave changed at this moment, causing the huge rock to float in the air.

The next moment, the bow turned into a stream of light, and the body passed directly through the dome and appeared under the clouds covered by moonlight.

"Boom!"

With a loud roar, the main peak of Wolong Mountain broke in the middle, raising a cloud of dust.

The mountain collapsed.

It should have collapsed a hundred years ago, but Zhigong, who was practicing, repaired it subconsciously. At this moment, Zhigong extracted the aura of the earth veins, so the main peak could no longer be maintained.

Zhi Gong looked up at the bustling starry sky and whispered, "More than four hundred years seem to have passed in the blink of an eye, and it also seems like an endless amount of time has passed. I have finally been promoted to the fourth realm!"

Her tone revealed bitterness and endless vicissitudes.

If we count from the time she planned to advance to the fourth level, it has been more than five hundred years. If we count from the time she just started practicing Taoism, it has been nearly three thousand years. She has taken the longevity pill five times.

Wang Ping did not go over to disturb her. Yu Lian's vertical pupils looked at the bow curiously.

After a long time, a strong sea breeze blew, and Zhi Gong turned to look at Wang Ping, and solemnly clasped his fists and bowed, saying: "Thank you for your help along the way, I will definitely repay you handsomely!"

Wang Ping clasped his fists in return, "You are so polite, fellow Taoist."

Yu Lian said in Wang Ping's spiritual sea at this time: "The vague existence in Wan Zhi's spiritual veins has also been passed on to her, but now it is much weaker than before. It should be the subconscious attached to the earth spirit."

Wang Ping did not continue discussing this topic with Yu Lian. He looked at Zhi Gong and continued, "I have lived up to Senior Wan Zhi's trust. There is no need for us to be polite. If you are ready, I will take you to see someone now. Your future will depend on his arrangements."

"Thank you, fellow Taoist!"

A familiar conversation.

When Wang Ping was promoted to the fourth realm and met Taoist Wan Zhi, he had a similar conversation.

But this time Wang Ping was not in a hurry to leave, but asked: "Daoyou, do you know the current situation in various parts of Zhongzhou Continent?"

"Of course I don't know, I hope you can help me clear it up!"

While Zhi Gong was speaking, he looked at Liu Shuibin in the distance and waved to him, indicating that he should leave first.

Wang Ping smiled and said, "It is still dark now, so I will tell you roughly. Please, let's talk while we are on our way."

He made an inviting gesture, and auspicious clouds appeared as he waved his hand.

Zhigong flashed and appeared on the auspicious cloud cast by Wang Ping. (End of this chapter)
