There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

The reason why it is called a humanoid creature instead of a person is because it really has a human form, with only a pair of dark green eyeballs on its bald head, no mouth, nose or ears, and scales like tree bark on its slender neck.

Its upper body is naked, with dark green rune lines on the surface of its pale skin. The faint glow it emits makes it look particularly strange, and its lower body is covered with a layer of scales like bark.

The moment it appeared, all the wood spirit toxins in this space rushed towards Wang Ping, trying to completely engulf Wang Ping. Wang Ping gently stroked Yu Lian's little head, asking her not to move, while driving the "Heaven-Covering Talisman" to directly distort the reality rules of those wood spirit toxins.

Just as Wang Ping was about to use thorny vines to temporarily trap it, a new humanoid creature jumped out from the trunk of another dilapidated old locust tree below. It was exactly the same as the previous humanoid creature.

As soon as it appeared, it stretched out its pale left arm, and then a rune flashed with white light on its left arm. Then seven black swords cut through the void and attacked Wang Ping in an attack method that Wang Ping was very familiar with.

"Seven Star Sword Formation!"

Yu Lian exclaimed.

Wang Ping suppressed the shock in his heart, and used the transfer talisman with Yu Lian to quickly dodge the attack of the sword formation. In a flash, he took advantage of the gap to cast three "Seven Star Sword Formations", but in an instant he defeated the opponent's sword formation, and when the two humanoid creatures were about to counterattack, he used the "Seven Star Sword Formation" to trap them.

"Ok?"

Wang Ping saw that the wood spirit poison in the air began to madly attack the defense barrier he built with the "Armor Talisman", causing the consumption of the spiritual energy stored in the wood spirit in his body to increase several times.

Just in case, he immediately took out more than ten energy crystals containing rich wood spirit energy, crushed them, and absorbed the wood spirit energy contained in them to replenish the consumption of wood spirit in his body.

Then, a green mysterious light appeared around Wang Ping. Four talismans were suspended around him. Auspicious clouds kept surging under his feet. As his consciousness floated, the wood spirit poison in the air was suppressed in an instant and then disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He used his own cultivation to forcibly suppress the turbulent wood spirit energy here!

After doing all this, Wang Ping took back the three "Seven Star Sword Formations" he had cast before. The two humanoid creatures were now suppressed by Wang Ping's aura, and their instinctive resistance was as powerless as a child resisting an adult.

At this time, Wang Ping saw a humanoid creature walking out of the trunk of an old locust tree on the mountain below. However, as soon as it walked out, it was suppressed by Wang Ping's cultivation and could not move.

"You are consuming a lot right now."

Yu Lian said with some concern.

Wang Ping nodded. At this moment, he used 60% of his strength to fight against all the energy that could be mobilized in this area. The wood spirit in his body was consumed very quickly, and there was no way to recover here. If the consumption continued, he could only last for about six hours at most.

If it were any other Xuanmen cultivator with the same cultivation level as Wang Ping, this state could only last for two hours at most.

Wang Ping did not intend to maintain this state. After suppressing the energy in this area, he threw out a handful of seeds. As soon as these seeds appeared, they sank into the transfer array that Wang Ping had prepared in advance.

The next moment, thorny vines with wood spirit runes on their surfaces appeared out of thin air around the three humanoid creatures, trapping and sealing them. Then all the old locust trees on the hills suffered the same treatment as the three humanoid creatures.

After completing all this, Wang Ping then cast hundreds of blessing talismans, constructed a temporary spirit gathering array, and used energy crystals as the core of the array.

Afterwards, Wang Ping released some of his power and crushed more than ten energy crystals to restore the spiritual energy of the wood spirit in his body.

“The consumption is much better now.”

As Wang Ping was speaking, he brought Yu Lian to land on a mountain peak. Here was the third humanoid creature that jumped out from the trunk of the locust tree. He walked up to it and first observed its appearance with his naked eyes, and used the wood spirit energy to feel the material of its body.

"It is made of unknown animal skins. The wood spirit runes on the surface are also the most basic spirit gathering runes."

Wang Ping made his evaluation, and then his soul consciousness probed into the body of the humanoid creature. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Its body is made of puppet parts made from the trunk of an adult locust tree. There is even a wood spirit that is about to reach adulthood sealed in the core, but the wood spirit's consciousness is almost blank."

"Where are there so many wood spirits? Aren't there only nine places for the four realms?"

Yu Lian asked.

Wang Ping looked up at the foggy sky and replied softly, "Perhaps the rules here are really different from those in the outside world, just as Senior Xinghai said."

"Wait, let me think..."

Yu Lian thought for a rare moment, and after a few breaths he said, "If this is really the headquarters of a certain sect before the destruction of the universe, then does it mean that the rules before the destruction of the universe are different from the rules of the current universe, at least different from the rules of our starry sky?"

A trace of confusion flashed across her golden pupils. "What determines the rules of the universe? Does the Way of Heaven really exist? Can it be influenced by humans?"

However, her confusion only lasted for a moment, and then she became cheerful again. She climbed onto Wang Ping's shoulder, stared at the humanoid creature in front of her and said, "Who cares? If there is any problem with this starry sky, it's not my turn to worry about it."

Wang Ping then opened his "Heavenly Eye" and looked at the sealed humanoid creature in front of him. Then a real picture appeared in his consciousness.

It was the familiar metal puppets again. They were like workers on an assembly line, refining locust tree trunks in batches, carving the puppets' basic wood spirit runes on the surface of the refined trunks, then polishing the trunks and skillfully assembling them into humanoid puppets.

When the puppet is assembled, two metal puppets will carry it out of the "assembly factory" through a dedicated passage. Outside is an extremely magnificent forest city. In the center of the city there is a giant locust tree that reaches into outer space.

Most of the people coming and going in the city are metal puppets, and there are also some humans wearing various short shirts. They are called humans, but their bodies are very large. As for the specific differences, it is impossible to tell because it is observed.

When the humanoid puppet was transported to the huge locust tree approaching the center of the city, the picture became blurred again. When the picture became clear, an unconscious wood spirit had been implanted in the core of the humanoid puppet's body. The metal puppets were sewing the skin with unknown flesh and carving a spirit gathering array on the skin surface.

When everything was completed, the humanoid creature, no, it should be said that it was a puppet, it was sealed up and bought by some people after waiting for a while. When it was successfully traded and transported to a flying boat, the secret was covered up again.

Wang Ping complained weakly: "After having the ability to block the secrets of heaven, does it mean that the first priority is to block the secrets no matter what you do?" Facing Yu Lian's puzzled eyes, Wang Ping directly shared the pictures he had just seen with Yu Lian, and he looked at the locust tree behind the puppet. It can be confirmed that this locust tree has only a small amount of vitality, and this part of vitality still depends on the supply of the spirit gathering array in the entire foggy sea.

Afterwards, Wang Ping's attention was attracted by a locust tree seedling next to the locust tree. This locust tree seedling had strong vitality and was in a similar condition to the small seedlings around the old locust tree in Wang Ping's Taoist temple. There were no impurities inside, and it was very suitable for cultivation by Taiyan monks.

These puppets that attacked Wang Ping would most likely stay inside the trunk of the locust tree under normal circumstances, relying on the spirit gathering array spread throughout the entire sea of ​​fog to maintain their basic energy. They would automatically defend themselves when they detected an enemy invasion.

However, these defensive measures are very low-level, and the only ones who can defend against the enemy are the monks themselves, but the problem is that there are no living monks here now.

After observing for a while, Wang Ping took off with Yu Lian and flew around the mountains. He first explored the ruins on the mountains. Just as he imagined, there were no so-called sect tokens. Then he looked at the locust trees on other mountains and found that most of the locust trees were destroyed inside. He thought that they were destroyed by the predecessors who came here a long time ago when they were trying to break through.

Finally, Wang Ping rose into the air and looked at the highest peak on the island with his "Sky Eye". Just like the previous times, countless images impacted Wang Ping's consciousness within a few breaths, and he sorted out these images immediately.

At the beginning, the spirit gathering array was still set up, and then the earth vein puppets were used to construct mountains and rivers, and locust tree seedlings were planted on the mountains. After the locust tree seedlings grew up, puppets were placed to guard them. At that time, the puppets were still wearing gray long clothes and looked gentle. Wang Ping noticed that these puppets seemed to be playing the role of guiding disciples.

There is a very distinctive feature of the guided disciples. They can go to many areas that other disciples cannot reach. In other words, they themselves are the tokens of the sect.

If this place is really arranged according to the Five Elements, the next area should be of the Gold Spirit attribute, which will just restrain the Wood Cultivator. Wang Ping needs to be fully prepared. It would be even better if he could arrive at the next area in a better condition.

So, under Yu Lian's puzzled gaze, Wang Ping released the seal on one of the puppets and tried to use 'Tongtianfu' to temporarily distort its consciousness.

Unexpectedly, it succeeded at once. Then Wang Ping, led by this puppet, entered the passage above. Just as Wang Ping had guessed, there was indeed no repulsive force.

However, for the sake of caution, Wang Ping first summoned a golden armored puppet to follow him, and then he exited the passage. When the golden armored puppet successfully passed through the passage and appeared in the Thunder Palace, Wang Ping saw a scene with the help of the golden armored puppet that surprised him a little.

He saw among the mountains tall buildings like those in modern cities, and on top of the highest mountains there was a damaged building that looked like a ladder to heaven.

The light here is particularly dazzling, because there are constant lightning arcs flashing above the earth, and from time to time the arcs hit the fog in the sky.

Wang Ping had no time to think now. He immediately ordered the puppet and the golden-armored soldier to return because the time to distort the puppet's consciousness was approaching.

After the golden-armored soldiers and puppets returned, Wang Ping buried two transfer talismans near the passage as he did before, then lifted the suppression of the area and distorted the puppet's consciousness again, allowing it to carry Wang Ping and Yu Lian through the passage.

Just as Wang Ping was about to stop and carefully observe the overall environment of the Thunder Palace, Yu Lian reminded him in the Spiritual Sea: "We may be able to use this puppet to pass directly through the Thunder Palace."

Wang Ping's heart moved. Below the Thunder Palace is the Underground Palace. It was recorded in the archives of the second seat of the Taoist Palace that the Canglan Palace was in the Underground Palace. According to the information obtained before, the founder of Yuxiao was very likely in the Canglan Palace!

After a fleeting consideration, Wang Ping sensed the faint signals from the transfer talismans he had placed in several areas ahead, and he immediately had an idea in his mind. He immediately used the 'Borrowed Luck Talisman' to strengthen the 'Heavenly Talisman' to once again twist the puppet leading the way in front.

The puppet's consciousness was twisted three times in a short period of time, and the core in its body seemed to show signs of collapse, but it was forcibly suppressed by the "Heaven-Covering Talisman" and flew through the passage at an extremely fast speed. In front of the passage leading into the underground palace, there was a huge immortal platform, with four dilapidated metal puppets guarding each side of the platform.

Wang Ping used the puppet to pass through the Dengxiantai at an extremely fast speed, but he was still captured by the metal puppets on the Dengxiantai. They did not stop him when their consciousness swept over, and the repulsive force of the channel did not appear.

"Really!"

Yu Lian's voice echoed in the spiritual sea.

Wang Ping did not respond to her. The moment he passed through the Ascension Platform, he shot several transfer talismans outside the passage and they disappeared into the void.

However, when it was about to pass through the passage and enter the underground palace, the puppet in front might have been too far away from the Wind Palace, and its energy supply was suddenly cut off, causing the core in its body to explode directly.

Wang Ping immediately sensed a gray rune array emerging from the barrier of the passage. It emitted a faint light that swept across Wang Ping's body, and then a powerful repulsive force hit Wang Ping's body and soul.

All this happened in a flash, and there was only ten feet of distance ahead to cross the passage.

Wang Ping made up his mind and activated the wood spirit in his body to steady his body. He took Yu Lian through the last section of the passage, and immediately left the passage after passing through the foggy area and cast two transfer talismans.

However, when one of the transfer talismans was about to sink into the void, it was destroyed by an extremely fast golden light!
"puff"

The golden light not only destroyed the transfer talisman, but also hit the barrier constructed by the 'Armor Talisman'. The moment a ripple appeared on the surface of the barrier, a powerful force cut a gap.

Wang Ping had been in a state of vigilance the whole time, but despite this, his reaction was still a beat slow, and he was hit on the left leg by the golden light. Behind this golden light, there were hundreds of golden lights attacking him.

Just when the golden light was about to submerge Wang Ping, Wang Ping took Yu Lian and used the "Dongtian Realm" to move hundreds of feet away.

"It's Jin Xiu's power!"

Yu Lian reminded.

Wang Ping naturally knew this. The first thing he did after stabilizing himself was to look at the environment he was in. This place was more narrow and long than the previous areas. If you count the area, it was at least twice as large. It was still an island after all, it was in the sea.

There are layers of mountains on the island, and on top of the mountains are magnificent palaces, among which five palaces are the most magnificent. These palaces are protected by barriers. The golden light that attacked Wang Ping came from one of the mountains emitting a golden halo, and what gathered the golden light was a dense golden spirit formation.

Seeing that the second wave of attack was about to come, Wang Ping felt the meridians inside his left leg being damaged by the gold spirit energy, and directly used the wood spirit energy to cut off the entire left leg. Then he took Yu Lian and used the "Dongtian Mirror" to move hundreds of feet away.

When Wang Ping regained his balance and looked around the area again, his severed left leg had grown back. (End of this chapter)
