There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality
Chapter 875 Kun Palace
But in the blink of an eye, Wang Ping brought Yu Lian to the sea area covered by fog. There were many reefs around, and there were some rune residues on the surface of these reefs.
"These reefs should be the outer formations of some magic circles."
Yulian said so.
Wang Ping used the "Sky Eye" to observe directly, and then a stone pillar three meters high emerged in his mind, with spirit gathering formations and barrier formations arranged around the stone pillar.
He even saw some blurry figures frequently flying past the formation, and these figures were not all human.
But as time went by, there were fewer and fewer people coming and going, until one day the stone pillar collapsed with a loud bang, and then it seemed to be hit by some force and fell into the ocean. The remaining formation had no one to maintain it, and eventually it became what it is now.
"What do you see?"
Yulian asked.
Wang Ping answered truthfully: "An ancient civilization, similar to the memories I gained when I was promoted."
In the past, he always felt that the memories he gained when he was promoted were very distant, but now that he saw the ancient relics, the real touch made him feel a little fear of the disaster in his heart.
Yu Lian asked thoughtfully, "So this place might be what was left before the universe was destroyed?"
Wang Ping did not say anything. He stared at the dense colorful light between heaven and earth. He stretched out his left hand and gently moved it. Suddenly, a rich spiritual energy gathered between his fingers, and then this spiritual energy was absorbed by the wood spirit in his body.
Yu Lian looked at Wang Ping and also learned from him to absorb some of the rich spiritual energy here.
After a few breaths, Wang Ping understood why no one collected the spiritual energy here, because the wood spirit in his body could not digest this spiritual energy, or it was rejecting the spiritual energy here.
This is just like the basic rule that fire and water cannot coexist. The wood spirit in his body cannot merge with the spiritual energy here. If the wood spirit in his body was weaker, it could merge with it. But then perhaps it would not be the wood spirit merging with the spiritual energy, but the spiritual energy merging with the wood spirit.
"It's so strange, everything here is so out of tune, it seems to have its own rules, like..."
Yu Lian couldn't find the words to describe it for a moment. She flicked her tail to expel the spiritual energy she had absorbed into her body. Her pair of golden vertical pupils shone slightly, and she said, "Have you ever seen parasites in the water? This sea area is like a parasite that lives on this planet or this universe!"
Wang Ping also expelled the spiritual energy that he had absorbed into his body. He agreed with Yu Lian's description and observed several other reefs and saw similar scenes.
So, he closed his "Heavenly Eye" and looked towards a gathering place built on reefs. In this gathering place, there were many Qi-cultivating practitioners with low cultivation, as well as some foundation-building practitioners whose lifespans were about to expire.
In the area of the gathering place closest to the Misty Sea, there is a huge iron net. This iron net extends for dozens of kilometers along the periphery of the Misty Sea. Some sea fish are raised in it. There is an artificial island port nearby with two large ships docked at the port. There seems to be a battle on the sea further north. Two incoming monks are besieging and killing a sea monster.
Wang Ping's spiritual consciousness swept across the nearby sea surface and when he explored into the foggy sea, he was directly assimilated by the surging energy.
"It's really not that simple!"
Wang Ping chuckled, then used the 'Golden Detecting Ball' to try to connect his three separated clones. After confirming that he could connect to them, he immediately took out two 'Soldier Talismans' to create two golden armored puppets. These two golden armored puppets were made by Wang Ping using ten thousand year old spiritual wood, and possessed the strength of the early fourth realm, but they could not be too far away from him.
Two soldiers in golden armor appeared. After Wang Ping confirmed that this was the entrance recorded in the second seat's file, he controlled them to enter the sea of fog without hesitation.
Wang Ping followed closely with Yu Lian. The moment they entered the sea of fog, Yu Lian connected her own soul to Wang Ping's soul.
There was no special feeling, except that the spiritual energy that came towards him was even heavier. Wang Ping subconsciously cast two transfer talismans to confirm that he could still connect to the transfer arrays in various places. He couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed.
After a few breaths, Wang Ping felt the wood spirit energy in this area was repelling him, and then he came out of the state of "nothingness". Then he felt that the turbid fog in the puppet's sight disappeared, and was replaced by a huge island. The island was flat on all sides, and there were countless pavilions on the island.
Below the foggy sky above the island, there is a white passage in the sky.
This is Kun Palace.
Everything was just as recorded in the Erxi file. This aerial passage could lead to the next palace. Wang Ping was not in a hurry to enter the Kun Palace. He planned to use the puppet to observe the environment of the Kun Palace first.
At this moment, two figures flew towards his puppet rapidly.
There were two monks who had entered the country. Both of them had different degrees of physical changes. One of them had deep red fire spirit veins attached to the skin on half of his face, and green smoke was emitting from time to time. The other one's entire lower body had been assimilated into rock, and the surface of the rock was constantly flashing an ochre-colored light, which was intertwined with the surrounding pure earth spirit energy.
To put it in one sentence, they have become a physical magic array that gathers spirits.
"Fellow Daoist, do you know the rules here?" One of the cultivators spoke, his tone and expression full of malice.
Of course Wang Ping knew the rules here. It was not that there were no people in Kun Palace. On the contrary, there were a lot of people. Most of them were monks who had nowhere else to go. They relied on the abundant spiritual energy here to survive.
However, there are illusion arrays in many places in Kun Palace. If you enter carelessly, you will be swallowed by the illusion. Those with insufficient human cultivation will most likely be forced into obsession. The most troublesome thing is the maze illusion. Few cultivators of low levels can get out of it.
The areas without illusions are occupied by those who came first. Later comers need to collect some natural spiritual objects from the deep seabed around Kun Palace in exchange for the qualification to live in this area.
Wang Ping didn't waste any words with such people. He controlled the golden-armored soldiers to silently inject a trace of wood spirit poison into the bodies of the two people, and then directly read their memories.
Then, Wang Ping took Yu Lian into Kun Palace.
"You can use your soul here. The fog is more like the original defense method of this area, but it has changed a lot after years of precipitation."
Yu Lian looked up at the white passage in the sky, "There is no inspiration world here, let alone psychic energy and spiritual creatures!"
After Wang Ping digested the memories of the two monks, he carefully released his spiritual consciousness and swept across the pavilions and towers on the island below. There were hundreds of inbound monks gathered here, and only a few of them still maintained their original appearance, while most of the others had been distorted.
As his mind wandered, he extracted the memories from these people's consciousness and quickly found out the current situation in Kun Palace. It was not safe here either. From time to time, groups of mutated water monsters would come ashore from the bottom of the sea to attack them.
Furthermore, every thirty years, the fixed illusion area will change, which requires them to sacrifice human lives to explore new safe areas.
"Let's go!" Wang Ping called out and controlled the golden-armored soldiers to fly towards the passage in the sky.
But just as they were about to approach the passage, the golden-armored soldier suddenly stopped, and then the part of Wang Ping's consciousness connected to the puppet was dragged into an illusion.
In his ocean of consciousness, the image of the Taoist temple on the top of Qianmu Mountain suddenly gathered. At this moment, it was surrounded by more than a dozen fourth-level cultivators, and there were also many True Lords watching him above the clouds.
It was a very strange feeling. When Wang Ping sensed this scene, he was instantly brought into the state of being besieged. The touch of the ground and the malice of the people around him instantly trapped him.
He also instantly understood what was happening. It was the True Lords who were preventing him from advancing to the fifth realm!
This was an illusion, but Wang Ping's subconscious mind concealed the idea of the illusion and also instilled some unnecessary memories into him, such as how he cultivated to the fourth level.
However, this process is very slow. As long as he quickly breaks through the constraints of the illusion, these memories will not be able to affect him.
Just as Wang Ping was summoning his primordial consciousness, Yu Lian's huge body appeared above the illusion. She swung her tail, creating endless ripples, and then the illusion shattered like a flower in the water.
There are three types of illusions.
The first is to obscure the vision, the second is to change the sea of consciousness of a person, and both methods are carried out at the same time. Hu Qianqian's illusion is the third one, and she can summon the light of stars to obscure the detection of consciousness.
"Why are you in a daze? It's such a simple illusion of consciousness, you can just force yourself out of it!"
Yu Lian asked in confusion.
Wang Ping smiled and said, "I didn't expect there were illusion traps in the sky. These people didn't even detect the traps in the sky."
Yu Lian said, "Isn't this normal? If they are not careful when exploring these traps, they will pay with their lives. Naturally, they will not take risks for unnecessary things."
After she finished speaking, she looked towards the foggy world in the north and said, "According to the records in the Dao Palace archives, if we pass through that fog, we can directly enter the core of the foggy sea."
Wang Ping nodded, thought for a moment, and then sent out two more "military talismans". These two golden-armored soldiers were not real objects, but products of rules constructed by talismans. The moment they appeared, they flew north at their own maximum speed, and any illusions they encountered were forcibly broken.
However, in the blink of an eye, the two golden-armored soldiers flew to the foggy area in the north. However, when they approached the fog, before Wang Ping could react, they were directly assimilated into energy.
"What does it feel like?"
"I didn't feel anything, didn't feel any discomfort, it just disappeared without any warning." Wang Ping was shocked. He could do the same against a cultivator in the third realm now. This method of using cultivation to forcibly wipe out the opponent could only be done by one with absolute strength.
"This is expected. You don't need to think too much about it." Yu Lian climbed onto Wang Ping's shoulder with her body wrapped around Wang Ping's left arm, and rubbed Wang Ping's cheek with her little head.
Wang Ping was silent.
Then, his gaze fell on the tall tower in the middle of the pavilions and he opened his "Sky Eye" to observe its past.
Soon images came into his consciousness. He saw some metal puppets. They used tools that Wang Ping had never seen before to move huge trees and rocks to build high towers. From time to time, some five-element spiritual creatures with auspicious clouds flew by.
The surrounding buildings were built at the same time as the tower, but when it was completed, a powerful force concealed its existence, and everything behind it was nothingness.
This should be a power similar to the 'Heaven-Covering Talisman', which conceals the secrets of this area.
When Wang Ping tried to continue observing, his consciousness suddenly became hazy, and his "Heavenly Eye" closed unconsciously.
“This place is really magical.”
Wang Ping sighed softly, then looked up at the golden-armored soldiers in front of him. They had already entered the passage under the fog in the sky. Wang Ping cast a transfer talisman on the spot and sank into this space, then he also entered the passage with Yu Lian.
There is nothing special feeling inside the passage. The white light in the passage is an energy barrier, and the magic array runes that arrange it are not here.
Two golden-armored soldiers were already flying quickly in the direction of the mountain palace. In the edge area shrouded in fog, Wang Ping felt two consciousnesses equivalent to the second level of cultivation locking onto the golden-armored soldiers.
He quickly found the two areas where consciousness was emanating. There were two rock puppets with broken bodies suspended there. Only a core frame was left of them. They just asked Wang Ping's golden armor puppet for a pass token based on their instinctive consciousness.
"It's a very basic puppet technology, but it has a special rule inside that generates the strength of a second-level star god." Yu Lian commented, "This should be because the cultivators who came in before destroyed their combat capabilities."
His subconscious mind was telling Wang Ping not to pay attention to the two broken puppets. He obeyed his subconscious mind and controlled the golden-armored soldiers to fly directly over without encountering any obstructions. In other words, the two puppets that could have stopped the golden-armored soldiers were now no threat at all.
Nothing unexpected happened after the golden-armored soldiers entered the fog, but Wang Ping clearly felt that his connection with them was weakening. However, Wang Ping did not take any action, but stayed where he was and started to deduce.
When he was sure there was no danger, he once again cast a transfer talisman into the space. After confirming that the transfer talisman could be used, he took Yu Lian into the fog.
The barrier of the passage kept the fog out, shielding the overly concentrated five elements energy. At this moment, the fog outside could be observed more intuitively through the barrier of the barrier. They were nothing more than spiritual energy with denser energy particles, but those energy particles were interspersed with densely packed tiny runes and were connected to each other.
“What makes them?”
Yulian asked.
Wang Ping could only remain silent, because he didn't know the answer either. The only thing he knew was that this ability was incredible. At least all five elements needed to be cultivated. Without any one, it would not be possible.
And this is just the basics.
At this time, the golden-armored soldiers leading the way had already left the fog and arrived at a giant island with layers of mountains. Some of the mountains also had attics and waterside pavilions, but most of them were in ruins.
"呲~"
The moment the golden-armored soldiers appeared, a powerful force kicked them out of the passage, followed by a strong pressure above their heads.
Wang Ping is very familiar with this pressure, it is the power of "Mountain Guarding Technique"! (End of this chapter)
