There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Yu Lian stared at Kaiyun with her pair of golden vertical pupils. When Kaiyun approached, she spoke first: "You are late, old..." She swallowed the three words "old monk" with difficulty and replaced them with the two words "master".

Kaiyun clasped his hands together and said, "Some mundane matters have delayed us for a while, please forgive me, Daoist Yulian." After saying this, he looked at Wang Ping and asked about the business, "How badly is the magic circle damaged? Will it be difficult to repair it?"

Wang Ping bowed and replied, "How could the magic circle be damaged? If it was damaged, how could it still work? It's just that the rune lines in some places are seriously worn out and need to be redrawn."

"I said something wrong." Kaiyun humbly admitted his mistake and then asked again: "Will it be troublesome to maintain it?"

"It's not just troublesome. The 'transfer talismans' left by our predecessors are already overwhelmed and need to be re-arranged with new ones." Wang Ping replied: "Plus maintaining the magic array lines in various places, you and I may have to stay here for 30 years."

“No problem!” Kering said with a smile.

"Also, I just checked the supplies that were delivered, and I don't have the materials for the 'Transfer Talisman'. The 'Transfer Talisman' here is carved with bright gold, and I need a lot of bright gold."

Wang Ping made his first request.

'Bright gold' is a metal with a tight energy particle structure. It has such a name because it has a trace amount of white halo. It is considered a rare metal in this world. It was brought in by things from outside the domain, so the output is very low. It absorbs spiritual energy ten times more effectively than gold, but it is too rare and almost no one uses it to draw magic arrays.

Kaiyun was obviously stunned for a moment. Perhaps he did not expect Wang Ping to ask for such a high price. According to the previous practice of Xiaoshan Mansion maintaining the teleportation array, Wang Ping did not need to bear any maintenance costs. All maintenance costs were shared by other Xuanmen and Tianmen. Oh, by the way, there is also the Star God Alliance.

"The old bright gold should still be usable, right? We just need to refine the 'transfer talisman' again." Kering's tone was a little euphemistic.

"Of course you can, but you have to remove the original 'transfer talisman' first. This will inevitably make some star regions unable to be teleported. I don't mind, but you have to explain this matter to me, fellow Taoist." Wang Ping looked straight at Kaiyun.

"In that case, I will go discuss it with the Star God Alliance." Kaiyun didn't want to cause any trouble, so he agreed without much thought.

"Then I will wait for good news from you, fellow Daoist. I still have to continue patrolling the transfer formation. Do you want to join me?" Wang Ping asked with a smile.

“You go ahead and do your work.” Kering clasped his hands together in greeting.

Wang Ping clasped his fists in return, then called Yu Lian to walk back to the vicinity of the transfer formation.

Yu Lian lay on Wang Ping's shoulder, turned her head to look at Kai Yun who was leaving, and said in the spiritual sea: "Bright gold is a good thing. The replaced bright gold can be used to update the barrier array of Qianmu Temple."

Wang Ping nodded. The rare metal 'bright gold' is currently monopolized by the Star God Alliance. They originally wanted to sell it to Xuanmen or Tianmen monks at a high price, but how could Xuanmen and Tianmen compromise, especially the Vajra Temple. They are afraid that 'bright gold' will replace the status of gold, so the bright gold on Zhongzhou Star will not exceed two hundred kilograms.

Wang Ping felt that they were a bit too sensitive. 'Bright Gold' was a non-replicable consumable and extremely rare. It was impossible for it to be artificially produced by fire cultivators, earth cultivators, and gold cultivators like gold. Although the production conditions were extremely harsh, and fire cultivators and gold cultivators had to be fourth-level cultivators.

After returning to the vicinity of the magic circle, Wang Ping observed the rune lines of the magic circle again. After confirming that it was indeed just some normal damage, he outlined the area that needed to be repaired on a jade slip. He then ordered the ten third-level cultivators he brought with him to repair the magic circle according to the records on his jade slip.

This is the core of the entire transfer array, and the connecting rule is the wood spirit in Huishan Zhenjun's body, or it can be said to be an incarnation of his wood spirit, so it can only be repaired and cannot be redrawn. Even the remade 'transfer talisman' needs to be refined through the core of the array here, otherwise it cannot be used.

Seeing the ten monks busying themselves, Wang Ping called the two third-level monks who were in charge of the magic array station.

"I need to inspect the magic array routes of various transfer terminals or transit stations one by one, and bring me the star road map." Wang Ping instructed the two third-level monks in charge. The magic array here is very complicated, with hundreds of branches extending out. These branches do not have any signs and are recorded entirely on a star road map. Moreover, this map will be updated every time the custodian is changed.

The process of updating the star map is very simple, because the teleportation points of each branch are suspended around the meteorite by earth vein magic, and can be completed with a little adjustment.

However, there is a very rigorous operating process in order to prevent the rebels within the Star God Alliance from destroying this transmission channel. Because Huishan Zhenjun is not mentally normal now, once this channel is destroyed, it will take at least five hundred years to repair it.

After hearing Wang Ping's words, one of the fire cultivators said, "The leaders of the Star God Alliance have already informed you that you can check the star map at any time, but we must be present. In addition, if you want to go to a branch teleportation point, you need to let us know in advance. We will send someone to notify the brigade commander of that star field first to avoid misunderstandings."

Wang Ping had no objection and replied, "Since we are on your territory, we will do as you say."

The fire cultivator immediately turned around and said, "Master, please follow me. You can't take the Star Road Map with you."

In a palace built of huge stones with an independent protective barrier at the meteorite station, Wang Ping saw the so-called star road map. Unlike what he had imagined, it was very simple, just a very abstract plane map outlined with silk.

The biggest use of the independent barrier of this building is to prevent someone from using their soul to explore this floor plan. Every teleportation point marked on the floor plan has a bunch of very complicated codes.

"I have always been interested in the edge of this starry sky. How about we start from the transfer point at the front line?" Wang Ping put forward his idea. As he spoke, he pointed to a transfer point marked 'Border 1'.

"No problem!" Huo Xiu agreed readily.

“Please wait a moment, my lord. I will go first for you.” Another third-level star god bowed as he spoke, then quickly left the palace.

Wang Ping did not wait in the palace. He followed the Third Realm Star God out of the palace and watched him fly towards a teleportation point.

"How long do we need to wait? There won't be any complicated procedures, will there?" Yu Lian tilted her head and asked the fire cultivator who was following Wang Ping. "No, it will only take a moment." As soon as the fire cultivator finished answering, the departing star god descended from the sky.

"The Star God Alliance is quite efficient!" Yu Lian praised.

The star god landed in the ecological zone and walked straight towards Wang Ping, inviting him respectfully: "Lord Changqing, please come this way."

Wang Ping flew over a distance of more than ten miles and landed on a small meteorite. The transfer array here had been activated. Before Wang Ping entered the array, his soul swept over Kaiyun who was using a communication token to contact the Star God Alliance. Kaiyun sensed Wang Ping's breath and immediately used his soul to detect when Wang Ping had already walked into the transfer array.

The familiar feeling of weightlessness came immediately, but disappeared in an instant, but the feeling of weightlessness came again immediately. This repeated more than ten times within three breaths. Suddenly, Wang Ping's eyes opened up, and the first thing he felt in his sight was a dazzling light.

It was a dazzling beam of energy under the dark starry sky ahead, containing a strong aura of fire spirit. This was a fire spirit formation with the power of the third realm, but without the scent of sunflowers.

Then Wang Ping's soul sensed a very clear obstruction. This obstruction was similar to the magic circle set up by the True Lords near the atmosphere of Zhongzhou Star, but the one here was more pure. To Wang Ping's soul, the feeling was like the collision of an egg and a stone. He was the egg, and the obstruction was the stone.

This should be the barrier at the edge of the universe recorded in the Erxi archives. It blocks the invasion of extraterritorial creatures and also blocks people in this starry sky from leaving. Wang Ping always thought that this kind of blockage would be very abstract, but he didn't expect it to be so obvious and direct.

"See with your naked eyes!"

Yulian reminded.

Wang Ping was indeed doing the same thing. A faint green light flashed across his eyes as he looked up at the starry sky in the distance...

There was only endless darkness beneath the starry sky, as if it was deprived of color, so black that it looked like an abyss that swallowed everything. The light emitted by the fire spirit pillar could not penetrate into it at all, as if it was artificially cut off in the undetectable blocking area.

There are some barely detectable dim starlights in the dark and distant starry sky. They seem to be about to be swallowed by the darkness, but they are stubbornly fighting against the darkness.

After observing for a few breaths, Wang Ping even felt a shock in his heart that was hard to let go, because many thoughts were born in his mind, and his shock was mixed with a bit of fear and hesitation, because under this starry sky, his cultivation seemed too small, so small that it was insignificant.

The world of inspiration is filled with abundant spiritual energy, and the surging spiritual creatures fill the starry sky. They seem to want to break through the barrier and go to the outside world to have a look, but they cannot succeed no matter how hard they try. Yu Lian constantly uses her soul to intimidate those spiritual creatures so that they dare not approach, and from time to time she also devours one or two spiritual creatures with pure spiritual energy in their bodies.

Suddenly, Wang Ping seemed to see some illusory figures moving in the darkness, but when he looked again, they were gone, as if he was just dazzled. However, with his current level of cultivation, it was impossible for him to be dazzled.

"What a strange feeling. If it is the darkness of the universe, then there is no phenomenon that cannot be driven away by light." Yu Lian spoke in human language, "In fact, it has not completely driven away the light. Those dim starlights are the best proof."

The Star God next to him heard this and continued cautiously, "This issue has also been discussed within the Star God Alliance. Most people think it's just a visual deception. If we were in the dark and looking over here, maybe it wouldn't be the case. It's like when a person looks at an object in the firelight in the dark, it will be very clear, but in the firelight, it is impossible to see the object in the dark."

"This is just a random guess made by us when we were bored. Lord Changqing should not take it seriously!" A voice came from the side. It was a middle-aged man wearing combat leather armor. His leather armor reflected a light red halo under the illumination of the fire spirit beam in the distance.

The man's skin was so white that it looked as if he had put on makeup. When Wang Ping looked at him, he quickly clasped his long arms and said, "I am the garrison officer here. I am honored to meet Lord Changqing. Our brigade commander is currently inspecting the front line and cannot come to greet you. I hope Lord Changqing will forgive me."

Wang Ping casually bowed and said, "I should be the one bothering you."

Perhaps because Wang Ping was too polite, the garrison officer was stunned and said, "Lord Changqing, what are you talking about? You came here for us, how can that be considered a nuisance?"

Yu Lian said in Wang Ping's spiritual sea at this time: "I feel that this person's cause and effect is like a blank sheet of paper, but his consciousness is extremely rich, just like the madman we occasionally meet in some rural villages when we travel."

Wang Ping couldn't help but look at the garrison officer carefully. He looked fine from the outside and couldn't be a madman. Yu Lian didn't say that this man was a madman, but just said that his cause and effect relationship should not be blank like that of the madmen in the countryside.

The curiosity only flashed through Wang Ping's mind for a moment, and then he looked at the transfer array next to him. The meteorite on which the transfer array was set up was very large, and there was an ecological zone next to it. There were a total of ten cultivators stationed in the ecological zone, including the garrison officer, and all of them were in the third realm of cultivation. However, most of these people were injured, and they were meditating in the ecological zone to heal their wounds.

The wear and tear of the transfer array here is much more serious than that of the Moon Base. Many array runes have been repaired, but the repairs are not very good. After observing for a while, Wang Ping took out a jade slip and gathered a ball of wood spirit energy at his fingertips. He imprinted the array that his soul had just recorded on the jade slip, and drew a brand new transfer array based on this array and pointed out the correct repair area.

Then he checked the rune lines extending from the magic circle. Compared with the core of the magic circle, this was a bit time-consuming. With Wang Ping's spiritual cultivation, it took him two days to complete the recording, and repairing it would take even more time.

After completing the record, Wang Ping did not inform anyone, but asked the third-level star god at the core of the transfer array to teleport back. When he returned to the ecological area of ​​the moon station, Kaiyun came up to him and said, "The bright gold you want will be ready within ten years."

Wang Ping had no special expression. He nodded and looked at Jinglan, the chief of the Moon Station. He handed the jade slip with the repair plan of the Border 1 transfer array to Jinglan and instructed her: "Find people to repair it within a year. The places I specially marked must be repaired within three months, otherwise there will be new traces."

Jinglan quickly took the jade slip and did not dare to delay, and immediately went to arrange people.

Wang Ping looked at Jinglan's back and said to Kaiyun, "The two hundred people we brought here are not enough. We need to repair more than three hundred transfer points in total, but they can only repair ten places at most in one round."

Kaiyun said with a smile: "This is the maximum number of people we can provide."

Wang Ping was too lazy to argue with him about this issue. He chuckled and asked bluntly, "Ao Bing took the trouble to get rid of me. Do you think he can succeed this time?" (End of this chapter)
