There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Wang Ping turned around subconsciously, and an even more uncomfortable heat suddenly attacked his whole body. This heat stuck to the spiritual veins of his body like a maggot attached to the bones, as if the spiritual veins would evaporate in the next moment.

He suppressed the discomfort and looked forward cautiously. The first thing he saw was the lava flowing ten feet away. It was rolling like a river, and the rolling air waves made people unable to help but take a second look. The air was boiling when the air waves hit, and the distorted light and shadow caused by the high temperature made the space in front of him become like an illusion.

There are also gray dusts floating before your eyes like drizzle, heavy yet with an indescribable sense of delicacy. They dance in the distorted space, adding a touch of desolation to the scorching earth before your eyes.

Looking further ahead, he saw a magnificent mountain in the center of the rolling lava. When Wang Ping saw the mountain, his eyes felt a burning pain, and he instinctively squinted his eyes. Sparks were occasionally emitted from the mountain, like millions of gorgeous red petals dancing in the air.

However, Wang Ping felt a sense of crisis in his heart and did not think that this was a beautiful scene. At this moment, he felt that the space distorted by the high temperature seemed to swallow him up.

Just when Wang Ping was about to lower his head, the hot breath disappeared. It was the high temperature emitted by the magma that suddenly receded. As a hot wind blew, the flying dust all dissipated, and the towering mountain in the middle of the magma actually moved.

At this time, Wang Ping discovered that the mountain was a golden crow, a huge golden crow. When it moved, its red wings trembled slightly, causing a rich fire spirit aura to explode in the space, leaving behind a series of burning marks.

"Are you the heir of this generation of Taiyan Sect?"

It was that young voice again, but it was from a young man wearing a wide-sleeved grey Taoist robe and with loose hair standing on the lava. He walked towards Wang Ping, but stopped at the edge of the lava and commented to Wang Ping: "Well, the vitality is strong, and the trajectory of life is probably difficult to capture even for the Yuqing Sect. He is indeed an orthodox Taiyan monk."

Wang Ping felt that he was being watched, and knew that the person in front of him was his spiritual body, and the Golden Crow behind him might be his physical body, so this person must be True Lord Lieyang.

"Junior Changqing pays homage to the True Lord!"

He clasped his fists and bowed.

True Lord Lieyang did not respond immediately. He seemed to be sizing up Wang Ping. After more than ten breaths, he said, "He is a sensible child, not as naughty as Rongyang. Come forward."

Wang Ping naturally did not dare to delay, and hurried forward, lowering his head and waiting for the instructions of Master Lieyang.

However, Lord Lieyang's soul seemed a little confused at this moment, and then turned into a flame and disappeared. The next moment, the calm lava began to roll again, and the hot breath came again.

The Golden Crow lying in the lava suddenly spread its wings, and a flame rose up, illuminating the sky above with a red color, looking like the legendary endless hell.

A protective shield of 'Armor Talisman' appeared around Wang Ping, blocking most of the high temperature erosion, and more high temperature was blocked by an invisible barrier outside the lava. Otherwise, Wang Ping would have no choice but to run away.

A cry resounded through the starry sky, like thunder, and then the Golden Crow actually spread its wings and flew high, instantly covering the sky and the sun. The sunlight reflected on the Golden Crow's feathers, as if a rain of arrows was scattered on the earth, scorching this already desolate planet.

Wang Ping looked extremely insignificant at this moment. He could only lower his head and stand at the edge of the barrier of the front array, so as to block most of the heat emitted by the Golden Crow.

The Golden Crow seemed to be trapped here and could only circle in the sky. It flew for only three breaths before falling down, stirring up lava to splash everywhere. However, no matter how the lava rolled, not a single drop could spill out.

The descending Golden Crow turned his huge head, stared at Wang Ping with his two eyes like the sun, then turned his head and continued to sleep.

After counting the interest.

Lord Lieyang in his spirit state reappeared, and the turbulent fire spirit aura calmed down again.

"This is the consequence of taking shortcuts, but I don't regret doing it. I believe that anyone who encounters the choice I made back then will make the same choice as I did."

True Lord Lieyang spoke in a matter-of-fact tone.

Wang Ping could probably guess what Lord Lieyang meant by this, but he wouldn't dare to respond even if he had a hundred guts.

After a few moments of silence, True Lord Lieyang continued, "Back then, I used the power of Daoist Fellow Yaoxi to defeat part of the energy of this Golden Crow, and then with the help of Daoist Fellow Yuxiao, I merged his consciousness."

"The fusion was a success, but also a failure, because it was not until after the fusion that I realized that he deliberately let Yao Xi defeat me, and also deliberately let me merge his consciousness, because the humanity in his consciousness was about to be completely worn away. This was the consequence of his bravery and aggressiveness."

"You can also say that it's me. Zhen Yang and I have become one. We each take what we need. He needs my strength, and I need his humanity. It's just that Yao Xi's ambition is as disturbing as the ancestors of the demon race. Later, many things happened. Some things are uncontrollable, and some things are within our acceptable range."

"In general, everything is moving in a good direction. The era of the True Lord ruling the world is coming to an end, but this process may be accompanied by pain. Are you ready to face it?"

Wang Ping met the gaze from True Lord Lieyang and answered truthfully with his head down, "I was terrified and didn't know if I was ready for the moment."

"You don't need to be so nervous. There are many things in the world that need you to do. As long as you don't violate the established rules, no one can touch you, including other True Lords."

Master Lieyang sensed Wang Ping's fear and immediately comforted him in a gentle tone.

Wang Ping found these words a bit harsh. Just a moment ago, True Lord Lieyang said that the era of True Lords had passed, but right after that he talked about "rules", and these rules were obviously the rules of the True Lords. In other words, the era of True Lords would not pass, but would just change into a different form.

"If you have anything to tell me, just tell me. I will do my best to get it done."

Wang Ping made a promise.

When Master Lieyang heard Wang Ping's words, he chuckled and said, "You are just like what Yuanwu said, cautious and modest, but full of ambition in your heart. You should always be thinking about how to refute us, right? Don't deny it. I don't care what you do, as long as you can get things done."

"Speaking of Yuan Wu, I have a piece of advice for you. He is one of the leaders of the Star God Alliance. What he wants to do is destined to be incompatible with us. Don't get too involved with him." Wang Ping lowered his head and remained silent. It seemed that his words were easy to say. If he could choose, he would definitely not have any entanglement with Yuan Wu, but the problem was that he had no choice.

After saying this, True Lord Lieyang changed the subject and said, "You should have guessed why I came to you this time. Thousands of years have passed, and I have never left here. I have finally completely integrated this body. Occasional minor problems are no longer a big deal. Now, it's time to take back the last bit of my power."

"That part of power is sealed in the 'True Fire Banner'. They stole this part of power on purpose. I need you to help me suppress the spirituality of all the creatures in Zhongzhou so that they won't riot when I merge them."

When True Lord Lieyang said this, his soul became ethereal and then disappeared. Then the Golden Crow opened a pair of burning eyes, looked at Wang Ping and said, "Now the cultivator of the Sun Cult who is in charge of the 'True Fire Banner' has been promoted to the fourth level. The spiritual veins in his body have bred the Golden Crow, and the Golden Crow will definitely be attracted to the power in the 'True Fire Banner'. When he can't help but steal this power, he will definitely go crazy. If I take action then, those two from the Vajra Temple and the Taiyin Cult will have nothing to say!"

His voice was much more majestic than before, and with every word he spoke, the feathers on his body emitted a series of crimson halos.

His tone at this moment was a bit vague, "Those two might just be bored, waiting for the arrival of a new era, otherwise our plans over the past few thousand years wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

After hearing the last sentence, many thoughts flashed through Wang Ping's mind. After the end of the Beizhou war, he felt that since he was promoted to the fourth level, although many things occasionally encountered obstacles, they were able to turn danger into safety every time, as if there was a pair of big hands pushing him forward.

"However, the one from Linshui Mansion is very ignorant, and you happen to be on bad terms with him. Also, if you want to help me, you need to perfect the 'Heaven Covering Talisman'. I will help you and take out your 'Heaven Covering Talisman'!"

True Lord Lieyang's tone gradually became cold.

Wang Ping's heart skipped a beat, and under the gaze of True Lord Lieyang, he decisively sacrificed the 'Heaven-Covering Talisman'.

Lord Lieyang looked at the Heaven-Covering Talisman floating in front of Wang Ping and said, "Well, you have indeed cultivated very well. Come, I will tell you to write. Just write that the Third Prince of Linshui Prefecture, Ao Bing, was unjust and did not care about the suffering of the people. He launched a war in Zhongzhou in vain. His brother Ao Hong could not bear to see the people suffer, so he killed him with his great magic power and brought peace to the people of the world!"

Wang Ping was stunned and couldn't help but look up at Master Lieyang.

True Lord Lieyang stared at Wang Ping with a pair of eyes as bright as the sun. Seeing Wang Ping hesitate, he urged him, "I will give you a magic weapon later. If Ao Hong is smart, he should have a 70% chance of killing his brother. Write quickly, don't just stand there. The fastest way to practice the 'Heaven-Covering Talisman' is to sacrifice the spirits of living beings. If you want, you can predict the death of all the people in the entire Zhongzhou Continent, but you have to bear the spiritual turmoil caused by their death."

"But now there is a better way, that is Ao Bing's life. Given his importance in countless timelines, it is enough for you to complete the cultivation of the 'Heaven-Blocking Talisman'."

When Wang Ping was practicing the 'Heaven-Covering Talisman', he could naturally feel that the essence of his soul fusing with the 'Heaven-Covering Talisman' was to absorb the spirituality produced by predicting the future. It was an inexplicable feeling, and he knew that this spirituality was similar to that brought about by sacrificing living beings. However, he had never thought about really taking the initiative to do so, because at his speed of practice, there was no need to be involved in these causes and effects.

"Write it. I'll watch you write it!"

Lord Lieyang's tone became a little stiff, it was a commanding tone.

Wang Ping did not resist what was written, because he had never failed once, and what's more, the cause and effect this time would not involve him. He was just lamenting the strangeness of the matter.

But now is not the time to think so much. He immediately activated the wood spirit energy in his qi sea to print the words that Master Lieyang had just said on the 'Heaven-Covering Talisman'.

"Very good. As a Taiyan cultivator, how can I not be despicable?"

After Lord Lieyang finished speaking, he burst into laughter. As he laughed, his wings that covered the sky spread out, and a raging fire immediately ignited the sky. The gorgeous wings in the flames emitted dazzling light, which once covered the sunlight.

Wang Ping remained silent and ignored the complaints of Master Lieyang.

After more than ten breaths.

Lieyang Zhenjun's laughter stopped abruptly, and the riot of flames also died down as his laughter stopped. He looked at the cautious Wang Ping and said, "I am not that stingy guy like Yuanwu. I have always been very generous. In addition to this additional benefit, I will also give you a place in the True Yang Fourth Realm, which is the current place of the Sun Cult."

"Speaking of which, Yu Xiao wanted to gather the four-level puppets of the five sects of Xuanmen, but unfortunately he never succeeded. You might as well give it a try. It will be of great help to your plan to reach the realm of Zhenjun."

Wang Ping had the same idea in his heart, but this idea was too fantastic. After Master Lieyang finished speaking, he immediately smiled at the right moment, clasped his fists and said loudly: "Thank you Master!"

The huge body of Lord Lieyang swayed gently in the lava and continued, "I just said that I am very generous. This is just the reward you deserve."

Wang Ping thanked him again.

"You are just like your master, very polite on the surface, but actually despicable in your heart." Lord Lieyang stood on the magma in his spirit state again, "There are a few more things I want to remind you of. Just think of it as repaying Yuxiao's previous favor."

His consciousness at this moment is obviously different from before. At this moment, it may be that Taoist Zhenyang's consciousness is dominant.

"First of all, there is a good thing in the underground cave of Qianmu Temple. When you have fully cultivated the 'Heaven-Covering Talisman', you can deduce it. Whether there is any result is up to you."

"The second thing is that the 'Wood Spirit Origin' is the best nutrient to nourish the Wood Spirit in your body. A Taiyan cultivator can only breed one in his lifetime, but this one is not enough to nourish the Wood Spirit to its full state. When the Taiyan sect was in turmoil, there were some other changes later. With Yuxiao's personality, he probably secretly planned to get a lot of it. If you get it, don't tell anyone."

"As for the third matter, after you return this time, you can slowly plan to replace Huishan with Xiaoshan's faith, but don't rush into it. After all, thousands of years have passed, and it doesn't matter if thousands more years pass."

"Just these three things, think about them carefully."

Wang Ping listened calmly, then clasped his fists and bowed solemnly, saying, "Thank you for your reminder, Master. I am deeply grateful!"

True Lord Lieyang laughed and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, that's it. You can leave now. I'll have Rongyang give you the magic weapon to deal with Ao Bing. Just go back and wait!" (End of this chapter)
