There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality
Chapter 860 Ao Hong Retreats to Thank Guests
Wang Ping was not too surprised to hear the news. The four realms promotion of Xuanmen and Tianmen were related to huge changes in the cultivation world, so it was normal that they would be prevented by some people.
He looked around at everyone present, then at the two unique seats, realizing that there were only eight of them at this gathering.
The tiger demon Wang Yan's amber eyes first reflected Wang Ping's figure, then looked at You Han, and asked while adjusting his leather armor: "I thought there was something important, is it just this? What can we gain from this conflict?"
Canglan, Bailin and Wang Yan had similar expressions. They were not very interested in this matter. The only thing that could make them stay was perhaps the benefits they could secretly gain from this turmoil.
Ji He looked at Wang Ping with a smile, "Lord Changqing should also be planning the fourth realm of Yuqing Sect, right?"
Wang Ping raised his eyebrows. As a fourth-level cultivator of the "Jimin Society", it was not surprising for Ji He to know this matter. After all, Xuanqing's spirit body was given to him by the "Jimin Society".
It's just that he was not used to having his thoughts expressed in public like this.
Perhaps sensing Wang Ping's dissatisfaction, Ji He added, "Fellow Daoist, don't worry. Whether the Jade Purity Sect can have one more Fourth Realm cultivator has nothing to do with us. Everyone present here only cares about one issue, and that is their own cultivation and safety."
Wang Ping did not respond to Ji He's words. He looked at You Han and asked, "Who wants to create unrest in Hushan Country? Is the intelligence accurate?"
You Han said with certainty: "I personally confirmed the information that many of our trade routes pass through Hushan Country. Later, I talked about this with Fellow Daoist Ji He, and he said that those crazy people in the 'Ji Min Hui' also planned to do something in Hushan Country. I just didn't expect that you, Lord Changqing, also planned something in Hushan Country."
Wang Ping still did not continue the topic. He looked around at everyone and said, "What do you want?"
Quan Wen met Wang Ping's gaze and bowed, saying, "Now among Xuanmen and Tianmen, led by you, Lord Changqing, and Master Kaiyun, we only want one thing, that is, if there are any changes in the future, please inform us in advance."
Wang Ping was stunned. He didn't expect such a request.
Seeing that Wang Ping did not answer immediately, the snake demon Bai Lin also bowed and added: "The burning of Zhongzhou more than a hundred years ago is still hard for me to forget. Many times when I was meditating, I would lose my concentration because of it."
There was a hint of fear in his tone when he said this.
Bu Qiong nodded and said, "We were not prepared at all for this, and many of our disciples died as a result."
Yu Lian said in the Spiritual Sea: "They must have suffered heavy losses due to the sudden arrival of True Lord Lieyang. The three demons still have deep fear in their consciousness. That is the instinct of consciousness. It is estimated that it has awakened their deep memories. I think it is something about the demon war back then."
Ji He smiled and continued, "I am very interested in the records. If possible, I would like to know the detailed information about the burning of Zhongzhou a hundred years ago. I want to record it."
He added: "You can rest assured that I recorded these contents only for the convenience of observing this world, and the recorded words are very special, only my disciples and I can understand them."
Cang Lan spoke for Ji He, "If he breaks his promise, all his cultivation will be taken back by his saint."
Wang Ping glanced at Ji He, then at the others, various thoughts flashing through his mind, and finally said: "I am indeed planning to plan for the fourth realm of Yuqing Sect, but I don't want to control this quota, but I want to stabilize the situation in Zhongzhou."
This is the truth, but it is also not the truth. The truth is that he does need a stable situation at the moment to plan for a higher level for himself.
Then Wang Ping said, "Since we have no conflict of interest, it is not impossible to exchange intelligence."
The last part was just polite talk. He knew that this gathering could not be as simple as exchanging information, but on the other hand, he really needed such a stealthy help, which might come in handy at some point in the future.
Then everyone started discussing the incident. Quan Wen was very interested in it. He might want to use this incident to expand the influence of the demon clan in the Taoist Palace. He also promised Wang Ping that if he needed the help of the demon clan, the demon clan would do their best.
By the time Wang Ping left the party, an hour had passed.
At this moment, the sky was dark, and the dim moonlight could not even penetrate the clouds, making the moon in the sky look a little illusory. Wang Ping stood up and walked a few steps, then sat down and lay on the spiritual grass, looking at the dim sky and thinking about things.
The complexity of this world slowly unfolded before Wang Ping's eyes as his cultivation level gradually improved. This gathering made Wang Ping clearly realize the existence of the Star God Alliance and the Demon Clan, and that they also had cultivators of the fourth and fifth realms.
Fortunately, the True Lords suppressed the Demon Tribe and the Star God Alliance during the Demon Tribe War, otherwise this world would have been in chaos.
But now the suppression of the True Lords seems to be showing signs of weakening, causing many people to have different ideas. Some people are used to peaceful days and want to avoid future chaos, while others want to get a piece of the pie in the future chaos.
"It's useless to think so much. We just need to do what we can." Yu Lian's voice sounded in Wang Ping's ears.
Upon hearing this, Wang Ping closed his eyes and entered a state of meditation.
Early the next morning, Kai Yun happened to appear outside Qianmu Temple. He came to trade the fourth-level weapon cultivation secret method in Wang Ping's hand.
Wang Ping carefully examined the sixteen Seven-Star Swords sent by Kai Yun. These swords were well preserved and should have never been used by anyone. However, only empty shells were left of them and the magic array inside was completely missing.
But it doesn't matter. Wang Ping only needs to redraw the transfer array and the "Giant Object Technique" inside them, and they can immediately become a powerful weapon.
When Wang Ping handed a copy of the weapon repair secret method to Kaiyun, he said, "Daoyou's arrangement in Hushan Country is a bit unauthentic. The Dao Palace has just been established, and you are also the second-rank member of the Dao Palace, and one of the three chiefs."
Kaiyun was stunned, probably because he did not expect Wang Ping to know about this matter, because he had just arranged it and many plans had not even been implemented in time.
After the two looked at each other for a few breaths, Kaiyun seemed to want to reject it, but when the words came to his lips, he said: "As the orthodox sect of Tianmen, Shangqing Sect should also have a fourth-level cultivator."
"The Yuqing Sect is not the Taiyin Sect. Be careful or you will get burned if you play with fire!" Wang Ping warned.
"I have to do this. Since my friend already knows about it, let's have a fight. The victory or failure will determine the final destination of this spot." Kaiyun said in a firm tone.
"The Yuqing Sect still has two vacancies, why are you doing this?"
"You are joking, fellow Daoist. Yang De's soul is in Yu Xing's hands. She holds this quota firmly. The Shangqing Sect can only fight for the remaining quota."
Wang Ping looked at Kaiyun seriously, and then said, "Then let's see who's the winner."
Kaiyun nodded, then turned into a stream of light and flew to the west.
Yu Lian stared at Kai Yun as he walked away and said, "He has really long arms. He's not afraid of having his arms cut off."
Wang Ping did not speak. He met Kaiyun in the clouds above a mountain west of Qianmu Temple. After Kaiyun left, he put away the Seven Star Sword and returned to the mountaintop dojo as soon as possible.
Before setting up the transfer array and the 'Giant Object Technique' for the Seven Star Sword, Wang Ping first sent a message to Ao Hong.
However, Wang Ping did not receive a response from Ao Hong until he had completed the deployment of all the Seven Star Swords' transfer arrays and the 'Giant Object Technique'. It had already been ten days. Seeing that the time for Taoist Huai Mo's promotion was getting closer, Wang Ping planned to go to Huixin Island to see Ao Hong in person.
When he appeared on the outskirts of Huixin Island, a bad feeling suddenly arose in his mind. He stopped and looked carefully at the Huixin Island which was so close.
He subconsciously believed that Ao Hong would do something bad to him.
Just as he was about to deduce something, Hong Ze, perhaps sensing the aura that Wang Ping had deliberately emitted, flew over, bowed, and said, "Greetings to Lord Changqing."
"Where is your master?"
Yu Lian spoke on behalf of Wang Ping, with a questioning tone in her voice.
Hong Ze responded carefully: "Master has been in seclusion since he came back last time, and he didn't even ask about the affairs of the reorganization of the Taoist Palace."
"Understood, you step back."
Wang Ping waved.
Hongze bowed again and then rode the cloud back to Huixin Island.
The moment Hongze turned around, Wang Ping entered the state of "nothingness", and used the "Heaven-covering Talisman" to shield his own energy, and then opened his "Heavenly Eye" to shine towards Hongze.
After a moment, he indeed saw Ao Hong sinking into the deep pool in the center of the island to meditate, but just as he was about to continue looking down, a surging energy obscured the images.
"Is there really a problem?"
Yu Lian noticed the change in Wang Ping's mood.
Wang Ping nodded expressionlessly, and a sense of crisis arose in his heart. He responded: "It's not Ao Hong, it's the aura of someone else."
Yu Lian thought for a moment and said, "Linshui Prefecture is not decided by Ao Hong alone, so don't think too much."
Wang Ping stared at the vast sea in front of him without saying anything. He had never thought that he would be turned away before coming here. This sudden turn made him feel unprecedented discomfort.
His practice had gone very smoothly over the years, and he almost alone enjoyed all the resources accumulated by the Taiyan Sect over thousands of years. Sometimes he even thought that the position of True Lord belonged to him.
Such arrogant behavior made him think less.
After a moment, many guesses emerged in Wang Ping's mind, but he could not confirm the specific situation, so he simply gave up thinking temporarily, then suppressed the unnecessary worries in his heart, and disappeared into the horizon with Yu Lian.
When he appeared again, he was already at the border of Hushan Kingdom. This time he came to find Lord Yuxing. If he wanted to achieve something within the borders of Hushan Kingdom, he must first have a frank talk with Lord Yuxing.
Taoist Huai Mo's quota for the fourth realm is very important for Wang Ping's future layout. He will not give up even without Ao Hong's help.
Wang Ping looked at the prosperous Haicheng under the sea of clouds. The destroyed Yuqing Sect’s headquarters had long been rebuilt and was more magnificent than before. At the same time, there were stricter classes than before, making the inner and outer cities of the city seem like two different worlds.
"The management method of Yuqing Sect may be the right way. Although Hushan Kingdom has experienced many disturbances, they have never been able to harm its foundation. Unlike Zhongzhou, every disturbance will result in heavy casualties." Yu Lian said softly while looking at Haicheng.
Wang Ping responded: "Zhonghui City is much more prosperous than Haicheng."
Upon hearing this, Yu Lian retorted, "The prosperity of Zhonghui City is built on the hard work of countless low-level people in other cities. What's the difference between it and Haicheng? It's just that those places of suffering are far away from you. There is no real fairness in this world. For every beautiful picture you see, there must be a dark place to pay for it."
Wang Ping did not speak this time. A auspicious cloud rose under his feet, and he took Yu Lian through the layers of sea of clouds and flew towards the west of Haicheng. In just a moment, he saw a magnificent palace located on the top of a steep mountain.
He steadied himself as he approached the complex magic array arranged outside the palace. Yu Lian looked around curiously and reminded Wang Ping in his spiritual sea: "It seems to be an independent small world inside, which contains the golden elixir rules of the Jade Purity Sect."
After Wang Ping cast a 'cleansing spell' on himself, he released some of his own aura.
There were very few cultivators coming and going in the continuous pavilions and attics inside the magic circle, and there was no one around the palace on the top floor. The magnificent palace was empty and silent. When Lord Yuxing, who was lying on the cloud bed holding a jade slip, sensed Wang Ping's breath, he raised his eyelids and looked in the direction where Wang Ping was.
She looked calm and composed, with a coldness in her eyes that kept people at a distance. Then she stood up and flicked her long sleeves, then disappeared from the spot. When she reappeared, she was already ten feet in front of Wang Ping.
When Wang Ping saw Lord Yuxing appear, he immediately clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Lord Yuxing."
A cloud of auspiciousness rose from Lord Yuxing's feet. She stepped on the cloud and clasped her fists in return. "So it's Lord Changqing and Taoist Master Yulian. I wonder why you two came to my temple?"
She looked like she didn't want to talk any more and seemed very rude, but she was more polite than most people, at least that's what Yu Lian thought.
Faced with such a direct question, Wang Ping didn't know how to start for a moment, which made the displeasure on Yuxing Mansion Lord's face even more obvious.
"The Vajra Temple intends to plan something in Hushan Country to disrupt the advancement of the Jade Purity Sect monks to the fourth realm." Wang Ping also spoke directly.
Yuxing Mansion Lady still had no expression on her face. She stared at Wang Ping for a few breaths and said, "Why are you doing all this? Don't give me the runaround. Although I don't object to Huai Mo's promotion to the fourth realm, it would be easy for me to stop him."
Yu Lian reminded in the spiritual sea at this time: "Just say whatever you think is best. She is different from people like Kaiyun and Ao Hong."
Wang Ping said: "Your and my families can be considered neighbors. Helping Fellow Daoist Huai Mo is also for the sake of stability. I need Hushan Country to be able to maintain sufficient stability in the future."
Lord Yuxing looked directly into Wang Ping's eyes, sensing the ambition emanating from his eyes, and asked, "Do you want to learn from Xiaoshan?"
Wang Ping said nothing, but just bowed.
The scene fell into silence.
After a few breaths, Lord Yuxing said, "In the future, the Jade Purity Sect will have a plan in Xizhou, and we will have to rely more on Lord Changqing."
She stated her conditions.
Wang Ping agreed immediately. What came to his mind was that Taoist Gong Wu had told him about Xuanqing Zhenjun's layout in Xizhou. He had already made a promise, and it would not be a loss for him to make another promise on the same matter. (End of this chapter)
