There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 817 Rational and Indifferent Kering

Kaiyun obviously didn't expect Wang Ping's topic to be so off-topic and so direct. A strange color flashed in his eyes, and then he chuckled.

"why are you laughing?"

Yu Lian asked before Kai Yun was about to speak.

Kaiyun was choked and his tone was stagnant. His smile froze for a moment, and then he said, "Didn't Daoyou disrupt the destiny of Zhongzhou before leaving? I believe you have a plan in advance. What do you think? Do you think Ao Bing has a chance to succeed?"

Wang Ping heard the hidden meaning in Kaiyun's words, turned his head to look at him and said, "It seems that you have other ideas, fellow Taoist?"

Kaiyun clasped his hands together and said, "Saint, be merciful." Then he slowly said, "I dare not have any other ideas. Everything in the world belongs to you, the True Lords. I am just temporarily looking after it."

He said this very humbly, and without waiting for Wang Ping's response, he continued, "Since you mentioned this, how about we make an agreement?"

Wang Ping immediately became interested and asked, "What kind of agreement?"

Kaiyun laughed and said, "If Fellow Daoist Ao Bing's plan in Zhongzhou fails, then among the titles of the True Lords worshipped in Xizhou, the title of Huishan True Lord will be changed to Xiaoshan True Lord!"

Wang Ping's face changed slightly when he heard this.

"Don't worry, my friend. I am the only one who knows about your little move. I know about this thanks to you. The 'anti-Buddhist movement' you previously implemented in Zhongzhou is still ongoing. Our disciples can only find rural villages to settle down. Recently, our disciples found that in some rural villages, the name of Xiaoshan Zhenjun has replaced Huishan Zhenjun."

Kaiyun took the initiative to mention the source of his information, "The monks we sent out to preach are all ascetics. They usually practice Buddhism and are most afraid of being involved in too much karma. So even if they are killed by swords and axes, they will not say a word."

Wang Ping quickly adjusted his state of mind, and after listening to him for a few breaths of silence, he asked, "If Ao Bing succeeds, what do you want?"

Kaiyun's smile deepened upon hearing this, and he replied softly, "It's very simple. As long as you agree that my disciples can go to Zhongzhou to preach, you also need to tell me the status of the person from the Zhenyang Sect. I only need to give a hint."

Yu Lian then asked, "Will Master Tiangong agree that you can put the title of 'Xiao Shan Zhenjun' together with him?"

When Kaiyun heard Yu Lian's question, he said "Saint, be merciful" again, and then replied: "I will not take the initiative to do this, you have to do it yourself."

Wang Ping thought for a moment and said, "That's fair. OK, let's make it a deal."

Yu Lian asked in the Spiritual Sea: "Does this old monk want to learn Zhen Yang and Xuan Qing?"

Wang Ping responded: "If he really has the courage, I can help him, but it seems that he doesn't have the courage now, and he doesn't even dare to think about it."

"Then why did he do this?"

"Maybe he is looking for a reason to give himself courage, but it is highly likely that he does not have such courage, because I do not see the indomitable spirit of Lord Xiaoshan in him."

Their exchange was completed in a flash. Kaiyun seemed very happy to reach this agreement with Wang Ping. After the deal was done, he invited him, "I said at the Second Seat Meeting before that I wanted to play chess with you. Now is a good time. What do you think?"

Wang Ping shook his head and said, "Let's give the monks we brought here something to do first. We will be here for decades, so we don't have to worry about this little time."

Kaiyun couldn't help but nodded and said, "Daoyou is right!"

The communication between the two ended here. Wang Ping took Yu Lian and flew to the base of the transfer array to find the next border star field.

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty Zhongzhou days passed, and those third-level cultivators who followed Wang Ping and Kaiyun to the Moon Base all received their missions.

Wang Ping was free, and he couldn't record the transfer points when there was no one available, because what he recorded would become invalid after two years.

The next day when Wang Ping had some free time, Kaiyun came to him with the chessboard, and Wang Ping did not refuse this time.

The place where the two of them rested was two stone buildings close to the Moon Taoist Palace, and they were connected. If they refused, Kaiyun would probably come to ask every day given his personality, and Wang Ping also needed some entertainment to pass the time.

"It's the same rules, right? You are not allowed to use your cultivation to calculate chess moves. Once you use your cultivation, you will be immediately considered to be at a disadvantage." After Wang Ping sat down, he took out a puppet from his storage bag to make tea for the two of them, and explained the rules to Kai Yun first.

They sat near the window on the second floor of the stone building. The light here was particularly abundant, but because the moon had no atmosphere, the light projected in was particularly bright, while the area not covered by the light was particularly dark.

Facing the rules proposed by Wang Ping, Kai Yun showed his unique faint smile, but his originally kind smile seemed a little scary and gloomy under the interweaving of black and white light.

Yu Lian, who was lying on the window, saw Kaiyun's expression and swung her tail in disgust. As a water spirit magic circle unfolded, the light from the window immediately became soft.

At this time, Kaiyun said, "We also have this rule when playing chess, but it always feels boring to play chess like that. How about letting go of your cultivation and playing a game this time?"

Yu Lian's golden pupils lit up when she heard this. Perhaps she was thinking of a story she had read, so she said, "If you have the power of cultivation, the time to place the move must be limited to three breaths, otherwise it will be meaningless."

“Okay, sure!” Kering agreed confidently, as if he was sure that he would win the game.

Wang Ping just nodded.

When it was time to guess the double, Kaiyun said, "No need to guess. You play black first, and I play black in the next round. How about this rotation?"

Wang Ping nodded again.

"clatter"

Wang Ping stretched out his right hand and decisively placed a piece, then used his left hand to summon the luck formation to deduce.

Kaiyun placed a move right after that, and looking at the luck formation that Wang Ping had cast, he also took out a golden compass to make calculations, not to be outdone.

It was said that they would make a move within three breaths, but each time the two of them would follow up directly the moment the other made a move. In less than half a minute, the chessboard was already filled with crisscross pieces. At this moment, the tea brewed by the puppet was served.

After more than ten breaths, the two of them stopped at the same time, looked at the crisscrossed chessboard and began to calculate the chess moves, and the result came out in a flash.

It's a draw.

Wang Ping couldn't help but frown slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said: "In the next game of chess, I will use the 'Heaven-blocking Talisman' to block your calculations."

Kaiyun, who had just picked up the teacup, was startled: "Isn't this bad?" Wang Ping took another sip of tea, looked at Kaiyun and couldn't help but smile, and said: "Then how about not using cultivation? Using cultivation is really boring."

Kering readily agreed, "That's true." He then took a sip of tea with a smile.

Yu Lian swallowed the cup of tea directly, and asked the puppet to fill it up again while saying: "It felt good to play chess just now, why not continue?"

From the perspective of an observer, the game of chess just played was indeed very pleasing to the eye.

But the chess players don't feel any fun.

The second game started quickly with Kaiyun playing black first. His chess style was relatively traditional, just like him, but he also had his own style. Wang Ping handled it quite well.

An hour and a half later, the game ended with Wang Ping losing half a point.

In the third game, Wang Ping won by half a point. Their chess skills were almost equal, and winning or losing happened in a flash, so the game was very comfortable.

After the three games, Kaiyun stood up and said goodbye, saying that he would go back to study and play again in the evening.

Wang Ping did not take Kering's words seriously, and as a result he lost all three games on the next day. Wang Ping did not even do his homework that day, and spent all his time studying Kering's chess moves.

Time passed slowly in such an atmosphere, and two years passed in the blink of an eye. The first batch of transfer points had been repaired. Wang Ping asked those third-level cultivators to rest for a month, and then started another round of repair tasks.

The peaceful days continued until the spring of the 415th year of the Taoist calendar, when the monk who was responsible for recording time at the Moon Station informed everyone that it was the third day of February, which was the third day of February in Zhongzhou Continent.

That day, when Wang Ping finished his homework and was about to use the 'Dongtian Mirror' to observe the starry sky that he had recently recorded, a message came from his personal communication token. It was a message from Lord Rongyang, followed by a message from Ao Hong.

Ao Bing is about to activate the magic array he set up on the Zhongzhou continent to cleanse his spiritual consciousness and advance his magic skills to the sixth stage.

When Wang Ping was about to use the "Dongtian Mirror" to observe the Zhongzhou Continent, Kaiyun appeared in front of the gate of the stone building where he was resting, and then entered the stone building and went up to the second floor as usual.

"Our agreement will soon have a result." Kaiyun said with a smile when he saw Wang Ping.

"You don't seem to care about winning or losing?" asked Yu Lian, who was hanging on the window.

"What do you think is the most important thing for me in this battle for Zhongzhou?" Kering asked a very strange question, because he said 'I' instead of 'my Vajra Temple', which is rare for Kering.

"What is it?" Wang Ping did not express his guess. When he asked, he invited Kaiyun to come over and sit down.

"That's Lord Long's attitude!" Kaiyun said softly.

Wang Ping was stunned for a moment, and many thoughts flashed through his mind. Then he asked his puppet to make tea and said, "Do you think Ao Bing's incident this time can affect the attitude of the Dragon Lord?"

Kaiyun stared at Wang Ping for a moment, then said, "Although I don't know your plan, I know what kind of personality True Lord Lieyang has. I can roughly guess what he is going to do. With his personality, he will not let Fellow Daoist Ao Bing go."

Yu Lian couldn't help but complain when she heard this: "When you thought of this, why didn't you remind Ao Bing?"

What Wang Ping was interested in was the character of Master Lieyang, but since this was Master's secret, he couldn't ask about it, so he remained silent.

Kaiyun first glanced at Yu Lian who asked the question, then looked at the silent Wang Ping, and replied: "Ao Bing is a little too confident. He is not an easy person to get along with. He has all the shortcomings of the dragon records in the book. Not only will he not listen to these reminders, but he will also have other ideas."

"What a terrible person." Yu Lian glanced at Wang Ping. Wang Ping almost formed an alliance with Ao Bing, but it failed due to some unexpected circumstances.

Wang Ping had been looking at Kering while he was speaking. When Kering finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the black and white starry sky outside the window. He had already gotten used to Kering's indifference and rationality, and in his heart he had already listed him as the number one person who needed to be wary of.

The feeling Wang Ping had when getting along with him was as if he was back to the third realm of cultivation and getting along with Zi Luan, a person with whom he could only talk about interests but not be treated as a friend or ally.

The outline of Zhongzhou Star in the starry sky became clearer and clearer in Wang Ping's sight, and then he said: "I suddenly hope that Ao Bing will not fail so completely."

Hearing this, Ke Yun chuckled as usual and said, "Then we'll wait and see."

...

Zhongzhou Continent.

The southern cultivation world had fallen into silence long after Wang Ping left. Some cultivators who wanted to gain benefits from the battle for the Central Plains artifact had already left the south and headed for the Zhenyang Mountain area.

Therefore, the cultivation world in the south became unusually quiet during this period, while the secular world was still the same as before, with luxury prevailing. Countless wealthy families were attracted here, making the south extremely prosperous for a time.

The north has been very busy during this period. All the towns controlled by the Dachuan Dynasty have temples dedicated to Ao Bing. His current title in the Dachuan Dynasty is 'The Great Dragon King of the Four Seas in Black Clothes'. The number of believers has increased dramatically because worshiping him can cure diseases and avoid disasters. Within a few short years, almost all the people in the Dachuan Dynasty are his believers.

In the past few years, Ao Bing has protected the people, so that the people in the Dachuan Dynasty have good weather and no diseases or disasters every year.

The third day of February is Ao Bing's birthday in the mythological story he compiled. On this day, the people of the entire Dachuan Dynasty did not go to the fields to work. They got up early in the morning, put on new clothes that they would only wear during the Spring Festival, and went to the nearest temple with their families to prepare to celebrate the birthday of the "Four Seas Black-robed Dragon King."

The spirituality generated by the clamor of tens of millions of people directly affected the fluctuations of spiritual energy in the north of Zhongzhou, and attracted the attention of countless people for a time.

Liu Shuang in Qianmu Temple learned about the Dachuan Dynasty's arrangements for today three days ago. After discussing with her fellow disciples, she decided to send some disciples to the border for secret observation. Xia Wenyi and Xuan Ling even decided to sneak into the Dachuan Dynasty themselves, but Shen Xiaozhu did not have such an idea.

3:45 pm

A dragon's roar resounded throughout the northern part of Zhongzhou. The people first looked up at the clouds, and after seeing the dragon looming in the clouds, they all knelt down and prayed.

As the people prayed, the magical arrays spread throughout the Dachuan Dynasty brought about golden light all over the sky. These golden lights were sacred and majestic, converging under the clouds in the sky of Shangjing City, forming mysterious golden aurora. Ao Bing's huge body shuttled through these golden auroras.

When these golden auroras touched Ao Bing's dragon body, they immediately seemed to be sucked into the scales of Ao Bing's body.

Half an hour later.

A golden beam of light that penetrated the sky and the earth completely enveloped Ao Bing's huge body. It was the spiritual faith of tens of millions of people, impacting Ao Bing's dragon body and soul in the world of inspiration!
At this time, beside a river upstream of the Nong River, Ao Hong, who was surrounded by the spirit of water, saw the golden sky and began to laugh uncontrollably. (End of this chapter)
