There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

"呲~"

A sound similar to metal friction was heard, and the golden-armored soldier built a defensive barrier around him. While blocking the attack, he quickly left the spot with a transfer talisman.

But soon afterwards, another 'Mountain-Suppressing Technique' came down. The pressure generated by the 'Mountain-Suppressing Technique' here was not strong, but it had an endless supply of energy. If Wang Ping didn't get rid of it quickly, even his real body would be in trouble here.

The key issue is to find out what caused the spell, but Wang Ping controlled the puppet to observe the sky and the undulating mountains on the ground around him, but he couldn't find out what caused the spell. It seemed to appear out of thin air.

However, after such observation, Wang Ping discovered that there were some second-level cultivators in the continuous mountains below. They were hiding in some dilapidated pavilions. Each of their bodies had undergone varying degrees of deformation, but they were still alive, looking at the golden-armored soldiers in the sky with numb eyes.

Wang Ping, who was in the passage, did not find any other danger, so he immediately flew out of the fog with Yu Lian. Then he felt the repulsive force emitted by the energy barriers around the passage.

"So powerful! It wants to separate us from the channel directly from the spatial level."

Yu Lian's vertical pupils were filled with curiosity, and she was trying to find out where this power came from.

She was right. This repulsive force directly blocked Wang Ping and Yu Lian from the spatial level, and as time went on, this repulsive force became stronger and stronger. With Wang Ping's current cultivation level, he could only hold on for half an hour at most before being repelled.

Wang Ping was still as steady as a rock, with no intention of leaving the passage right now. He tried to probe out his spiritual consciousness, and heard Yu Lian say, "Don't release the strong spiritual consciousness you had in the past. The stronger your spiritual consciousness is here, the stronger the repulsion you will receive."

"it is good!"

Wang Ping did not doubt it and immediately withdrew his consciousness and looked towards the end of the passage. There was an ascending platform near the foggy area with six metal puppets on it. They looked intact and would not let Wang Ping pass.

If he forced his way in, with Wang Ping's current level of cultivation, there probably wouldn't be any problem.

Just as Wang Ping was considering whether to force his way in, his two golden-armored soldiers landed on the top of a mountain below. The moment they landed, the "Mountain-suppressing Technique" that was chasing them disappeared without a trace.

Wang Ping thought about it, and took Yu Lian to the top of the mountain where the golden armored soldiers were through the transfer talisman on the golden armored soldiers. Then he sacrificed the "Tian Tong Fu" and learned a lot of things by reading the memories of the second-level monks hiding here.

What interested him most was that in the memories of those monks, people kept trying to force their way up to the Ascension Platform to the next area, but they were blocked without exception, and some were even beaten to death by those metal puppets.

Those metal puppets will improve their strength according to the strength of the challengers with the help of the formation of the Ascension Platform, but it is not known whether their strength can be improved to the fourth level.

So you have to deal with them quickly!

The Mountain Palace is different from the previous Kun Palace. In the previous one, one might be able to pass through the illusion by relying on strong willpower, but here only powerful cultivators can survive, and victory cannot be achieved by taking shortcuts.

"Look over there..."

Yu Lian stretched out his tail and pointed to the south of the huge island below. There was actually a small gathering place there, which Wang Ping had not noticed just now.

But the people gathered there were not human monks, but a group of deformed water monsters. Many of them were looking up at Wang Ping, the outsider. When Wang Ping looked over, those water monsters immediately dived into the seabed.

“They’re disgusting.”

There was disgust in Yu Lian's tone. Those deformed water monsters had no symmetry in their bodies, just like rare deformed children. What was even more terrible was that there were some abscesses on the surface of their bodies.

Wang Ping opened his "Heavenly Eye" and first looked towards the gathering place below. He saw some water monsters that had developed intelligence due to the rich spiritual energy here, slowly building a gathering place on the beach.

"They gathered after the formation of the Sea of ​​Fog."

Wang Ping came to a conclusion, then looked at the continuous mountains on the island, and finally stopped his gaze on the highest peak. He then saw the process of hundreds of metal puppets using the earth vein technique to construct the mountain. He also saw those metal puppets burying a very complex spirit gathering formation at the bottom of the mountain.

"Now I can confirm that this place was the headquarters of a sect when the universe was still active."

Wang Ping looked up at the Dengxiantai, and said with a slightly complicated look: "The reason why we were stopped is because we are not disciples of this sect."

Yu Lian's golden pupils sparkled when she heard this, and she asked, "You mean, as long as we can find the token of this sect's disciple, we can travel freely in the foggy sea?"

Wang Ping nodded. "That's right in theory, but after so many years of erosion, it's extremely difficult to find their sect's token, and it's even more impossible to find a token that allows you to freely enter and exit the entire Misty Sea. Even in this era when the sect was active, there were very few such things."

"So, now we can only force our way in?"

Yu Lian looked towards Dengxiantai.

Wang Ping stopped talking, and then the two golden-armored soldiers beside him turned into two golden lights and flew towards the Ascension Platform. Suddenly, the gloomy sky was filled with "Mountain-Suppressing Techniques", but they were all cleverly avoided by the golden-armored soldiers.

However, in the blink of an eye, two golden-armored soldiers appeared on the Dengxian Platform. Without any unnecessary movements, the moment they landed on the Dengxian Platform, a layer of wood spirit poison suddenly attached to the spears in their hands. Then they flashed, and in the blink of an eye, the spears picked up six metal puppets.

Then, one could see that the metal puppet's body was corroded by the wood spirit toxin at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in a blink of an eye, the entire metal body became rotten.

It went more smoothly than expected, but the repulsive force that had just appeared in the passage also appeared on the golden-armored soldiers. Wang Ping ignored the repulsive force, and even more so the metal puppet that had lost its combat effectiveness. He immediately controlled the golden-armored soldiers to fly towards the passage in front of the Ascension Platform, and at a very fast speed.

In an instant, the golden-armored soldiers passed through the passage and saw an island with a volcano emitting thick smoke. The visibility in this area was very low and the temperature was too high. People with a cultivation level below the entry level would not be able to stay here for even an hour.

The repulsive force from the channel became more obvious. Wang Ping didn't want to waste the energy in the golden-armored soldiers' bodies, so he immediately controlled them to leave the channel.

Just as the golden-armored soldier left the passage, a strange cry suddenly rang out, and then a ray of fire appeared in the sky above the volcano covered by thick smoke, and it streaked across the void and attacked the location of the golden-armored soldier.

It was at this time that Wang Ping also landed on the Ascension Platform with Yu Lian. Then he saw the space in the area where the metal puppets were just located shaking, and then six more metal puppets appeared.

"It's a transfer formation!" Yu Lian's voice revealed a bit of relief and shock.

Wang Ping's soul scanned the internal structure of these metal puppets and said in a complicated tone: "Not only that, they are made in almost the same way as the puppets passed down in the current cultivation world, and they are all given basic consciousness through the 'enlightenment technique'."

These basic puppets are like established programs, and do not require the 'Tian Tong Fu' to endow them with the rules of heaven. The method of making them is not a secret in today's cultivation world, but no one is willing to make them, mainly because it is troublesome and requires a certain level of cultivation. However, after a certain level of cultivation, they seem extremely useless.

For example, the two puppets made by Taoist Tongyu before he fell asleep were prepared since he was promoted to the second realm. It took him hundreds of years, but they could not bring enough benefits and were far inferior to the puppets made by Wang Ping later.

The moment these metal puppets appeared, Wang Ping felt that his aura was locked by them. Seeing that these metal puppets were about to attack, Wang Ping stretched out his hand and lightly tapped. Suddenly, thorny vines with wood spirit runes carved on their surfaces appeared out of thin air in front of these puppets, instantly entangled their limbs and bodies, causing them to lose their combat effectiveness.

“Is it necessary to be so kind?”

When Wang Ping led Yu Lian into the passage, she flicked her tail and suddenly a cold air appeared on the Ascension Platform. The six metal puppets were frozen in an instant. When Wang Ping led Yu Lian through the passage leading to the Fire Palace, the frozen puppets shattered into pieces.

When Wang Ping passed through the passage, he did not use his own cultivation to fight against the repulsive force of the passage, but took Yu Lian to leave the passage as soon as possible.

There was a blazing fire outside the passage at this moment, and two golden-armored soldiers were working together to suppress a firebird that was more than two meters in size.

"It's a fire spirit!"

Yu Lian recognized what this firebird was at a glance, and then she added: "It actually has a soul consciousness, and the strength of its spiritual veins is almost the same as that of a third-level cultivator. No, its soul consciousness is connected to this space. In this way, we can't kill it unless we destroy this space."

Wang Ping first made the habitual deduction, and then sensed his transfer arrays in various places, and found that the signals from the external transfer arrays could no longer be transmitted, let alone his three clones. However, the transfer arrays he set up in Kun Palace and Tu Palace could still be barely sensed.

After ensuring his own retreat, Wang Ping looked at the firebird fighting with the golden-armored soldier and said, "Then let's try it."

Yu Lian responded, "Although this Fire Palace looks simpler than the previous two areas, in fact, even ordinary third-level cultivators cannot survive here, and there is no restraint on the soul consciousness here. If this is really a sect, this is almost the inner gate area. Although there are fewer constraints on us, the obstacles we encounter will only be stronger."

Wang Ping agreed with this statement. His spiritual consciousness quickly expanded to the outside of the surrounding fog, and soon he could sense the surging fire spirit aura inside the volcano. Under the "spiritual vision technique", he could see that these fire spirit particles existed in every inch of space in this area, and the fire spirit fighting with the golden armored soldiers was only a small part of it.

What moved Wang Ping even more was that these fire spirits possessed the consciousness of the soul, and they had locked Wang Ping's aura. As time went on, the space around Wang Ping continued to rise, forcing him to cast an "Armor Talisman" to resist the high temperature.

Then he shot a stream of pure wood spirit energy at the fire spirit that was suppressed by the golden-armored soldiers in front of him, defeating the materialized fire spirit, but in the blink of an eye it reappeared above the volcano with billowing smoke.

The two golden-armored soldiers rushed forward to entangle it immediately, but Wang Ping did not care about the process of the battle. He took Yu Lian to the other side of the volcano, because at his previous location, the high temperature rose to a critical point, and fine sunflower patterns appeared in the surrounding space. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he decided to hide.

The moment he steadied his body, Wang Ping once again opened his "Heavenly Eye" to observe the volcano. Just like the previous two times, he saw some metal puppets using fire spirit magic. They first built a spirit gathering array at the bottom of the mountain, and then they built a array in the center of the spirit gathering array that Wang Ping had never seen before.

As expected, a light curtain panel popped up:

[Soul Devouring Formation: In ancient times, the Five Elements used a formation to imprison members of their tribe who had committed mistakes. Some people who committed unforgivable crimes would be sent to the Soul Devouring Formation to refine and fuse their souls.]

[1. The stability of the magic circle must be above (95/100). There is no reference at present.]

[2. It will be possible to activate it only if at least two fourth-level True Yang monks put part of their spiritual consciousness into the core of the array.]

[3. The magic array diagram has a total of array points. Each array point requires a natural treasure that can seal the fire spirit to prevent the fire spirit from leaking out. The magic array diagram is as follows...]

【Note 1: It can only refine the spirits of five-element creatures at or below the third realm.】

[Note 2: You must continue to provide spiritual energy to the invested Yuan Shen consciousness, otherwise the magic circle will wither after more than half a year.]

[Note 3, it is recommended to use the heart fire of the flaming beast. Its natural fierceness can trap most of the fire spirits' consciousness.]

Wang Ping's soul scanned the contents on the light screen panel, and the scene in his mind was that two golden crows fell from the sky and plunged into the formation that they were partially aware of. The metal puppets sealed the huge stone emitting a deep red halo at the center of the formation.

When the magic circle was activated normally, some metal puppets dragged dozens of flaming birds with iron chains, killed them ruthlessly, used the spiritual veins in their bodies to nourish the magic circle, and then put their spirits into the core of the magic circle for refining.

Soon after, endless magma gushed out from the magic circle and covered large areas, and then the secrets of this area were concealed.

"What do you see?"

Yu Lian couldn't wait to ask.

Wang Ping passed that part of the memory directly into the depths of Yu Lian's consciousness.

After a few breaths, Wang Ping took Yu Lian away from the spot again. As soon as he stabilized his body, he heard Yu Lian say, "So there is a very powerful magic circle under this volcano? Can we take it away?"

Wang Ping smiled and reached out to touch Yu Lian's head and said, "You dare to think so!"

After finding out that there would be no other crisis here, Wang Ping didn't want to waste any more time, so, while speaking, he looked at the two puppets fighting the firebird, and controlled them to break away from the battle with the firebird and fly towards the passage in the sky. There was no immortal platform here, nor were there any metal puppets blocking the way.

The golden armor puppet was very fast. After getting rid of the firebird, it entered the passage smoothly. A strong repulsive force instantly hit Wang Ping. Feeling the strength of the repulsive force, Wang Ping knew that with the current strength of the golden armor soldier, he could only stay in there for more than ten breaths at most.

So, he ordered the golden-armored soldiers to fly across the passage as quickly as possible.

However, in a moment, they passed through the passage and arrived at the water palace. However, just as Wang Ping observed a ray of light with the help of the golden-armored soldiers, his sight was swallowed up by the raindrops in the sky, and then Wang Ping lost contact with the golden-armored soldiers.

Wang Ping quickly gathered his thoughts and instinctively became alert. You know, the two golden-armored soldiers, with the blessing of the "Heavenly Talisman", can temporarily defend against the attack intensity of the early stage of the fourth realm. (End of this chapter)
