There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

On the third day after Wang Ping returned to the mountaintop temple, he began to use the puppets placed in various places to observe the movements of the disciples of Linshui Mansion. At this moment, most of the disciples of Linshui Mansion were in the southeast sea area, responsible for the water-based spirit gathering formations set up in various places for Jiang Cun to use for his promotion.

Ao Yi was probably also distracted by Jiang Cun's promotion, which resulted in many Taoist temples in Linshui Prefecture in Xizhou being attacked by the side sects of Vajra Temple, but Taoist Lin Shuang was unable to capture any trace of them. Instead, the monks of Taiyin Sect were searching for the evil Taiyin cultivators in Xizhou like crazy, and would crush them to ashes once they were found.

half a month later.

Wang Ping finally made up his mind to go to the Misty Sea to take a look. Firstly, he was really afraid that Ao Yi would suddenly make things difficult for him, and he would then have to make some choices. Entering the Misty Sea would get rid of Ao Yi's entanglement. Secondly, Master Xiaoshan said that he could enter the Misty Sea now, and for now he was willing to believe Master Xiaoshan's words.

However, his belief is relative.

And the most important thing is that after Wang Ping's communication with Master Xiaoshan, he was eager to know what kind of future scenes Master Yuxiao and the others had seen. He also had many doubts in his heart and wanted to ask Master Yuxiao for clarification, or use his "Heavenly Eye" to find out.

"Do you really want to enter the foggy sea now?"

Yu Lian watched Wang Ping preparing various talismans. Feeling Wang Ping's emotions, she could quickly guess what Wang Ping was going to do next.

Wang Ping said as he drew the talisman: "Since I started practicing, the things related to Grandmaster Yuxiao and the Misty Sea have been lingering in my ears. Now that the time has come, I naturally have to go in and take a look."

The calico cat sleeping on the old locust tree heard their conversation, opened its eyes, raised its head and looked at Wang Ping and meowed.

Yu Lian turned to look at the calico cat and asked in a rather surprised tone, "You said you've been to the Misty Sea?"

The calico cat jumped to the ground, shook its head and spoke in human language, "I didn't go in, I just looked around. There are many natural treasures on the islands outside the Misty Sea. Many low-level monks will venture into the periphery of the Misty Sea to obtain some materials."

Wang Ping put away the talisman on the coffee table and turned to look at the calico cat. When he first started practicing, he had the protection of his master and the entire Qianmu Temple provided him with materials for practice, so he had not experienced the struggles of the bottom level.

"There's nothing special about the Misty Sea, except that the spiritual energy is extremely rich. However, this spiritual energy seems to be poisonous. Most cultivators who absorb too much spiritual energy from there will cause abnormal changes in their spiritual veins. In more serious cases, it will be directly assimilated into energy." The calico cat continued:

"I heard from them that there are countless palaces and attics in the fog. Some places are very dangerous, and some places even have illusions. But there are no special treasures in them. So over time, unless they are avoiding being hunted by their enemies, few people go deep into the fog."

Wang Ping nodded slightly. These records were already in the second seat file, but now hearing the calico cat say it gave him a different feeling, a real feeling.

"Are you saying that many low-level monks have entered the foggy sea and walked out successfully?" Yu Lian asked curiously.

"What's so strange about this? I told you to go out and take a look. Although the foggy sea is dangerous, as long as you have a firm mind and strictly follow the experience summarized by your predecessors to explore some areas outside the foggy sea, there will basically be no danger."

Yu Lian became interested and started discussing this issue with the calico cat.

Wang Ping did not join them. He had seen more detailed records in the archives of the Second Seat Meeting. There were a total of nine areas in the Misty Sea, namely Kun Palace, Mountain Palace, Fire Palace, Water Palace, Wind Palace, Thunder Palace, Underground Palace, Heavenly Palace and the last Holy Palace.

Theoretically, the entrance is in Kun Palace, which is on the west side. As long as the low-level cultivators enter from the west side of the foggy sea and do not go deeper, and have a certain level of human cultivation and will not lose their minds due to inner demons, there will be almost no danger.

But in reality, it is also possible to enter the foggy sea from other directions, but one will encounter dangers that one cannot handle and may die, so no one would try it easily.

A month later.

Wang Ping was ready for everything. He first explored his avatars stored underground in Sanhe Prefecture and in the mountaintop dojo, and collected the spiritual energy gathered in the two avatars. However, the progress of the wood spirit's growth only increased a little, reaching (64/100). You have to know that this was the result of hundreds of years of accumulation.

Then, he checked the transfer talisman carved inside his clone to confirm that his consciousness could be resurrected in the clone.

Before entering the sea of ​​fog, Wang Ping planned to go to the underground of Sanhe Prefecture to see the locust tree. This was an idea that suddenly popped up in his mind, but he didn't know whether he could enter that area smoothly.

You can just ask 'Xinghai' about this question.

"In theory, yes. I can easily sense the transfer array inside. Leave it to me." This is how 'Xinghai' responded.

When they set out, Yu Lian asked the calico cat if he wanted to go with her, but the calico cat shook his head in disdain and said, "I like adventures alone. If I encounter danger, I can escape by myself."

She is indeed qualified to say this with her ability, but she may have underestimated the cultivators of the Fourth Realm. This is a problem of vision. It's her fault that she has no partner.

Yu Lian felt offended when she heard the calico cat's answer and wanted to compete with it, but was stopped by Wang Ping, who then took her and used a transfer magic circle to appear in front of the bronze wall.

It's still the same as before.

The illusory figure of 'Xinghai' appeared when Wang Ping was observing the surrounding environment. He stretched out his illusory left hand and gently pointed at the ground. A white light immediately passed through the ground and sank into the bronze wall. Then he heard 'Xinghai' remind him: "What are you standing there for? Stand up."

Wang Ping did not hesitate and took Yu Lian to stand on the steps in front of the bronze wall. Then he felt a familiar feeling of weightlessness. His vision quickly changed and he saw the huge locust tree again.

Yu Lian flicked her tail and performed a "lighting technique".

Wang Ping walked to a flat ground in front of the locust tree, activated a talisman of "external incarnation", and separated a part of his consciousness here.

Then he used his spiritual consciousness to sense the world above this area, and used the 'Golden Detecting Ball' to read the coordinates of this area, but soon his spiritual consciousness was blocked. It cannot be said to be blocked, but it was assimilated by a very obvious energy.

"Yulian!"

At the same time as Wang Ping called for Yu Lian, he used the 'Sky Sword' to construct the Divine Kingdom's magic array, and then used the 'Golden Ball' to read the space above, but was still blocked by an unknown energy.

"You still want to teleport directly into the foggy sea through here?"

Yu Lian saw through Wang Ping's plan.

Wang Ping shook his head, then nodded, and then looked at Xinghai and asked, "Is this locust tree the flesh body of Master Yuxiao?"

'Xinghai' also looked up, staring at the locust tree with his dark eyes, and answered Wang Ping's question: "Yes, his breath is very strong."

Yu Lian asked curiously, "Why are you not sure?" Xinghai retracted his gaze, looked at Yu Lian and replied, "It's not that I'm not sure, it's just that some of my memories are very vague. Yu Xiao seemed to have done a lot of things back then, but every time I want to talk about it, I can't remember it."

"The grandmaster tampered with your memory?" Yu Lian was even more curious.

"I don't know. It shouldn't be possible. I won't let anyone tamper with my memory!" Xinghai said uncertainly again.

Wang Ping put away the 'Sky Sword' and 'Golden Ball', then pinched his left hand to open the 'Sky Eye' between his eyebrows, intending to use the 'Sky Eye' to observe the locust tree in front of him.

The next moment, countless images flashed through his mind, but those images were almost all endless darkness, and only a small part could be observed. All of these images were blurry. Even when he tried to put them together, most of them disappeared directly, and he could not remember them no matter how hard he tried.

"what happened to you?"

Yu Lian sensed Wang Ping's emotions and asked quickly.

And at this moment, the rest of the images disappeared, leaving Wang Ping in a trance for a few moments, and he finally woke up after hearing Yu Lian's call.

"The 'Sky Eye' can't actually observe the past of this locust tree!"

Wang Ping seemed to be talking to himself.

Upon hearing this, Xinghai looked at Wang Ping and said, "The Eye of Illusion can see through the essence of anything. There is only one possibility for this state to occur, that is, this locust tree is not in this universe, or it has been excluded from this universe."

"Is this possible?" Wang Ping asked, pointing to the locust tree and saying, "It's right in front of us."

"How is it impossible? This paradise and the starry sky outside are almost two different universes. With Yu Xiao's personality, he must have done something to be rejected by the rules of this paradise, erasing his past and turning him into a rootless duckweed, waiting to die in the sea of ​​fog."

Xinghai's tone became rational and indifferent.

Wang Ping looked at the 'sea of ​​stars' and asked, "What is the difference between the rules of this paradise and the starry sky outside?"

'Xinghai' shook his head and said nothing, then disappeared.

Seeing that Xinghai was unwilling to speak, Wang Ping suppressed the doubts in his heart. Then he glanced at the clone he had arranged, and took Yu Lian to activate a transfer talisman to leave this cave of great significance.

Just after Wang Ping left, a figure appeared in front of the huge locust tree. He was wearing a blue Taoist robe, and only a pair of bright eyes could be seen in the darkness. These eyes looked at Wang Ping's clone with disdain, and then he said, "You're just thinking of taking a shortcut. I walked the entire length of the foggy sea back then, and you have to do the same."

After saying that, his figure merged into this space.

...

Wang Ping used a transfer array to leave the huge underground cave. Without any further hesitation, he took Yu Lian directly across the chaotic sea in the south, then flew across tens of thousands of miles of sea, and arrived at the outskirts of the foggy sea in the biting cold.

This sea area is the southern end of Zhongzhou Star, and is also known as the end of the world. A large part of the area is in a state of polar night, which also causes the temperature of this sea area to be very low. Some places are even above minus 100 degrees all year round. Ordinary people cannot survive at all, but some water treasures with ice properties will grow there, attracting many Qigong practitioners and monks.

Furthermore, this sea area is full of deep waters, and the marine life is mainly composed of thick fat, which makes them extremely huge. The fat layer in their bodies melts in your mouth after being roasted, making it the favorite seafood of some inland dignitaries.

But the seabed is extremely dark and is covered by thick ice, resulting in many deaths every year in the attempt to capture them. Some incoming monks even died because they accidentally entered the foggy area.

Tiangong City.

Located on an isolated island to the west of the Misty Sea, it has the largest supply dock for entering the Misty Sea. The reason for this name is that it corresponds to the heavenly palace in the innermost part of the Misty Sea.

Wang Ping was above Tiangong City at this moment, hiding in the wood spirit energy and observing the city. The city was controlled by three independent cultivation organizations. Many people in the port were from southern Zhongzhou. They occupied all walks of life in the port. Some of the elixir and material purchasing shops had the logo of Taiyan Sect.

Apart from the southerners, the largest group of people are from Western Continent. Most of them work as laborers at the docks, and their presence can be seen both inside and outside the city. However, they are still human beings after all, and they can get paid as long as they are willing to work. The lowest class are slaves with iron rings around their necks. Most of them are hairy people from Eastern Continent, and most of them are from the Far East Continent.

"Look at that!"

Yu Lian's tail pointed to an open-air restaurant outside the south of the city. On the left side of the restaurant's gate stood a five-meter-high iron pillar with a bloody whale-like creature hanging on it. The owner deliberately displayed its thick fat to passers-by to attract many people who liked the food to come into the store.

Wang Ping smiled and asked, "Do you want to try it?"

"No, they are all dead, and they are probably not fresh." Yu Lian shook her head and said, "There are probably a lot of fresh ones inside the Misty Sea. I want you to observe the world of inspiration!"

Wang Ping did not doubt him and drove his soul to observe the world of inspiration. Then, with surprise on his face, he saw that the dead whale was still emitting spirituality. Some spiritual creatures gathered around the corpse, and they looked like they were gnawing on something.

"The sea area where it lives has completely different spiritual energy rules from the outside world, causing its corpse to resemble a small spiritual gathering array. However, because of this, when it is transported to Zhongzhou or Xizhou, the spiritual energy will definitely lose its effect, and the taste will definitely be greatly reduced. Otherwise, it would be impossible for it to enter the diet of high-level monks."

Yu Lian explained the reason.

Wang Ping used the "Tian Tong Fu" to observe the fog in the distance. He saw that in the huge network between heaven and earth, the pure five elements of spiritual energy were densely spread throughout all areas, and gathered together to form colorful auroras.

These colorful auroras seem to have their own consciousness. They are constantly assimilating the surrounding space, which in turn generates a lot of impurities. If a low-level cultivator absorbs too much, it will definitely cause the spiritual veins in the body to become overactive, or even be completely assimilated by it.

It is estimated that even cultivators at a higher level would not be able to absorb it, otherwise this place would have been occupied by the five Xuanmen sects long ago, and there would be no chance for these small characters to intervene.

"gone."

Wang Ping called out to Yu Lian softly.

Yu Lian looked at the mist in the sky that went straight into the atmosphere, and she couldn't help but wrap her arms around Wang Ping's left hand. (End of this chapter)
