There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Wang Ping looked at the white light that gradually disappeared into the sky, thinking about Guan Xi's last words.

Guan Xi's visit this time was obviously to tell Wang Ping that the Jimin Society had deviated from its original track and had its own independent way of thinking and dealing with problems.

The Jimin Society's opposition to Wang Ping's promotion is insignificant to the overall situation, because they don't even have a fifth-level cultivator. However, their pervasive infiltration is difficult to guard against, and their persistence and madness can scare anyone they target.

When Wang Ping returned to the mountaintop dojo, he specifically contacted Quan Wen from the Demon Realm and asked him to help inquire about any special events that had happened recently within the Ji He Jimin Society.

Two months later.

On the third day after Yu Lian woke up for the first time, when Wang Ping was helping her to dispel the drug resistance in her body, Quan Wen told Wang Ping that the Jimin Society had discussed the matter of Ao Yi some time ago, and the monks from the three factions all believed that it was not appropriate to use extreme measures at the moment. Finally, he specifically reminded Wang Ping that the paranoid faction was preparing something, but even Ji He was not clear about the specific situation.

After reading Quan Wen's message, Wang Ping couldn't help but complain: "It's true that no matter what era or organization, all moderates are unreliable."

He could only complain that his puppets were useless against the Jimin Society, and that the internal affairs disciples of the Taiyan Sect had been operating for so many years but had never been able to infiltrate the sect.

"What are you bothering about?"

Yu Lian was lying on the spiritual grass beside the coffee table, keeping her body about five meters tall.

Wang Ping talked about this issue with Yu Lian as if it was a casual conversation, while the calico cat was standing by the fire not far away, staring at the fish and shrimp that the puppet was roasting.

"Leave the issue of the Jimin Society to Daogong. Since Guan Xi said so, it is equivalent to declaring war. Why are you still being polite to him?"

Yu Lian gave her advice.

Wang Ping was suddenly enlightened after hearing this and said with a smile: "There is no rush now. After all, I cannot show that I want to achieve the fifth realm now."

A look of "I understand" suddenly appeared in Yu Lian's eyes, and then she seemed to remember something and asked, "What is the Earth you talked about with Grandmaster Yu Xiao before?"

“My hometown!”

"hometown?"

Yu Lian was also a smart person. She immediately thought of many things and asked, "Is it in other starry skies?"

Wang Ping looked thoughtful when he heard this, and answered uncertainly: "I don't know, maybe that's the case."

"I see. No wonder your consciousness and thoughts can always jump out of this world, and you like to observe this world from the perspective of an outsider."

"Really? Didn't you hear what the Grandmaster said? He said that I, like Yao Xi, have completely integrated into this world!"

"He knows nothing. I think he is the one who has truly integrated into this world. He seems to be looking for a way to leave. Maybe he is trying to cut off the connection with the previous world!"

"is it?"

"Maybe!"

"Meow~"

The voice of the calico cat interrupted their conversation, and then Yu Lian rose into the sky, shrank her body as quickly as possible, and landed beside the fire to enjoy fish and shrimp with the calico cat.

Wang Ping watched quietly with a faint smile, but his mind couldn't help but think about what Yu Lian had just said. As a spiritual creature of heaven and earth, Yu Lian's subconscious thoughts were sometimes not groundless.

After a few breaths, Wang Ping smiled self-deprecatingly and temporarily discarded some unnecessary thoughts.

...

Ten years have passed by in a hurry.

Yu Lian's injured soul has recovered by a large margin, and the growth progress of the wood spirit in Wang Ping's body has reached (68/100) after absorbing two "Wood Spirit Origins" in his body over the past ten years.

The situation in various places has not changed in the past ten years. Jiang Cun's promotion is still continuing, and the continuous heavy rains on the sea are also continuing. The islands in the southeast sea area have not been submerged. This is due to the guidance of the disciples of Linshui Mansion and the magic array built by cultivators from various coastal areas, which has formed a complete closed loop between the rainwater and the local ecology.

The internal struggle within the demon clan is still going on, but it has not been as intense as before in recent years. Xizhou is still under the control of the Vajra Temple, and the disciples of Linshui Mansion have been taking care of Jiang Cun's promotion in recent years.

Zhongzhou is still the same as before, with relatives fighting each other. It seems chaotic, but there is actually order in the chaos. It is worth mentioning that Vajra Temple has built many temples in Zhongzhou in recent years, and Wang Ping is also included in the list of objects of worship.

Wang Ping still maintained his previous attitude and practiced in a low-key manner. He was on and off with the Vajra Temple, and was still an ally with the Linshui Prefecture. With the layout of Xia Wenyi and Liu Shuang in Dongzhou, Wang Ping's map of the kingdom of God expanded rapidly in the past ten years, even surpassing the peak of the Datong Dynasty.

On this day, shortly after the Spring Festival of the 182nd year of the Gregorian calendar, Wang Ping was fishing with Yu Lian in Baishui Lake when he suddenly felt a flash of palpitations. He immediately woke up from his doze. His emotional fluctuations caused ripples on the surface of the lake, scaring the fish underwater to flee quickly.

Hu Lin, who was teaching two little white foxes in the distance, turned his head and instinctively looked towards the dock where Wang Ping was, but then retracted his gaze. Hu Qianqian, who was sleeping outside the gorgeous wooden house next to him, opened her eyes with twitching ears and looked towards the direction of the dock in confusion.

There were waves in the center of the lake, and Yu Lian's huge body jumped out of the water. A calico cat flashed back and forth beside her with a struggling grass carp in its mouth.

"what's wrong?"

Yu Lian flashed to the side of the dock, his huge head hovering in front of Wang Ping, his pair of vertical pupils filled with Wang Ping's figure.

Wang Ping did not speak. He first summoned the 'Dongtian Mirror'. Holding the 'Dongtian Mirror' in his right hand, he connected the puppets from all sides to observe the world, and made quick calculations with his left hand.

In less than ten breaths, Wang Ping had the answer. He met Yu Lian's eyes and said, "For some reason, the Taiyan monk who believed in Huishan Zhenjun in Xizhou suddenly went mad and launched a strong attack on our base, resulting in the death and injury of many disciples. Even Xiaozhu was affected. The spiritual vein in her body almost went berserk. Fortunately, the monks from the Vajra Temple intervened in time to stop it."

"How could this be?"

Yu Lian's tone was full of worry, "How is Xiao Zhu now?"

Wang Ping comforted him, "Don't worry, Xiaozhu is fine now."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and a trace of wood spirit energy appeared between his fingers. The wood spirit energy, which should have been stable, was now swaying back and forth like a candle in the wind, and it seemed that it could collapse at any time.

"What's going on with this unstable wood spirit energy? Is someone plotting against you?"

Yu Lian suddenly became alert.

Wang Ping shook his head and said, "Most of the third-level Taiyan cultivators have suddenly died. This should be the work of Huishan Zhenjun!" Yu Lian was startled, and then said incredulously, "Is he crazy? What good will this do him? Without a stable wood spirit, his situation will be even worse. Is this why Xiaozhu's wood spirit went berserk?"

"Huesan was already crazy."

Wang Ping could only respond to this in his spiritual sea. He then stood up and his left hand calculated much faster. He then looked in the direction of Xizhou, but did not make a decision immediately.

Although Yu Lian was worried about Shen Xiaozhu, she also knew that this matter was unusual, so she did not urge Wang Ping to make a decision as soon as possible.

"Master Huishan's influence is limited, otherwise this matter would not be so simple. If I don't show up, Xiaozhu will be safer. The monks of the Vajra Temple are still reliable at the moment."

What Wang Ping needs to do now is to try his best to maintain the stability of Mu Ling.

Just when Wang Ping made the decision, one of his communication tokens emitted an energy fluctuation. It was a message from Zi Luan. Since Wang Ping was promoted to the fourth level, Zi Luan almost never sent messages to him on his own initiative.

The content of the communication token surprised and yet did not surprise Wang Ping. Master Xiaoshan had contacted Zi Luan half a quarter of an hour ago and asked him to tell Wang Ping to try to stabilize the wood spirit and not do anything else.

"Qianqian, follow me back to Qianmu Temple!"

Wang Ping called out to Hu Qianqian in the distance, who immediately turned into a ray of starlight and came to Wang Ping to salute. The calico cat also hurried to Yu Lian's side. Then Wang Ping used the transfer array to take Yu Lian and others back to the dojo on the top of the mountain.

Wang Ping, who had just stabilized himself, took out his identity token and said to Hu Qianqian, "Tell Ziluan that all Taiyan sect cultivators who have reached perfection in the second realm can be promoted to the third realm. Those who lack promotion materials will be provided by the sect."

"Yes!"

Hu Qianqian took the token and put the swinging tail around her waist.

Wang Ping continued, "Also, you ask Li Miaolin to go to Xizhou to assist Xiaozhu in presiding over Xizhou affairs. After that, you will replace Li Miaolin to assist Ziluan in stabilizing the internal situation of Taiyan Sect. Remember, the Demon Realm is now a key force, don't ignore them."

"Yes!"

Hu Qianqian's expression became more serious.

After Hu Qianqian left, Wang Ping turned into a stream of light and landed on the wide grass outside the front hall. He first enlightened four golden-armored soldiers. All of them had the strength of the early fourth realm. As soon as they appeared, they turned into four golden lights and fell around the mountains.

Then Wang Ping's body continued to rise, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a giant locust tree that soared into the sky. Then, he used the wood spirit of his body to connect to the wood spirit energy of the entire Zhongzhou, and then used the wood spirit energy of the entire Zhongzhou to stabilize the wood spirit of this world.

"That's all I can do for now. The one who can really stabilize the wood spirit is Master Xiaoshan!"

Wang Ping's soul appeared in front of the giant locust tree. As he spoke, golden light became brighter and the kingdom of God instantly expanded to the surrounding areas with his soul as the center.

Yu Lian couldn't help but ask, "Is Master Xiaoshan going to completely merge with Master Huishan?"

Wang Ping's soul sat cross-legged on the flat ground in front of the locust tree and shook his head, "If only it were that simple. I guess Huishan Zhenjun's consciousness has gone completely crazy, and Xiaoshan Zhenjun can only barely maintain balance. What we have to do is to try our best to maintain Xiaoshan Zhenjun's rationality and let him fight against the madness."

Yu Lian reacted and said in the spiritual sea: "We must clean up the temple of Huishan Zhenjun of Xizhou as soon as possible, and we also need to clean up those crazy third-level Taiyan monks!"

"Yes, but the name is to clean up the traitors, and I can't show up!"

"Will it affect your subsequent promotion?"

"do not know!"

Wang Ping closed his eyes after he finished speaking.

This state did not hinder Wang Ping's absorption of the 'Wood Spirit Origin', but he was now worried that Ao Yi would suddenly seize on this matter and force him to express his opinion.

Fortunately, Ao Yi is focusing most of his energy on Jiang Cun's promotion at the moment. Otherwise, if Ao Yi were to intervene again, Xizhou would surely be in chaos in an instant.

Yu Lian looked at Wang Ping who closed his eyes, and also curled up and lay down on the map of the Kingdom of God.

Thus five years passed.

The chaotic situation slowly became stable again. In the past few years, five third-level Tai Yan monks were added to the Tai Yan Sect, but many second-level monks also died. The consumption of promotion materials was an astronomical number, which almost caused serious damage to the Tai Yan Sect. Fortunately, there were five new third-level Tai Yan monks who went out to preach, and as long as there was enough time, the sect could slowly recover.

At the same time, some second-level Tai Yan monks who had not joined the Tai Yan Sect were also promoted to the third level during this turmoil. Most of them hid in the mountains in the north of Dongzhou, and thought they were hiding very well, but they didn't know that each of them had a special intelligence file within the Tai Yan Sect.

During these five years, every blade of grass and every tree in the Central Plains and Hushan Kingdom were connected to Wang Ping's body. The wood spirit energy did not really collapse because of the sudden madness of those third-level Taiyan cultivators. This was considered to have fulfilled the instructions of Master Xiaoshan, and Master Xiaoshan did not allow the madness to continue.

The crisis was short-lived.

On this small Zhongzhou star, all forces suddenly became very quiet. In the silence, another five years passed unknowingly. The growth progress of the wood spirit in Wang Ping's body reached (72/100), and one of the 'wood spirit origins' had been absorbed by two-thirds.

On a sunny afternoon, there was a sudden thunder in the direction of the southeast sea. The sound even woke up Wang Ping who was in meditation. When he took out the "Dongtian Mirror" to check, he found that he could not connect to the transfer array of the southeast sea.

The next moment, Wang Ping's soul flew up and appeared under the clouds above Qianmu Temple in a blink of an eye. Before he had time to observe the specific situation, he found that the temples and Taoist temples built by Linshui Prefecture in various parts of the south were actually collecting the spirituality of Zhongzhou and converging it to the southeast sea.

"Good job Ao Yi!"

Wang Ping's consciousness floated, and the locust tree that reached into the sky suddenly merged with his soul.

Yu Lian was the most sensitive to spirituality. She landed on Wang Ping's shoulder, rubbed her head against Wang Ping's cheek and said, "Ao Yi is collecting the spirituality of the entire planet. What is he doing for that? Is it for Jiang Cun's promotion?"

Wang Ping's expression was calm. He stretched out his left hand and slowly deduced that Ao Yi's process of collecting spirituality was not intense and would not cause any impact on the ecology of Zhongzhou, but it would cause the practice of Zhongzhou cultivators to slow down. Mortals who lost their spirituality would often fall ill, and even their lifespan would be affected.

Before he could deduce the result, a puppet he had placed in the internal affairs of Taiyan Sect took the initiative to pass on a piece of information to him: the Taiyan monks who believed in Huishan Zhenjun in Xizhou suddenly became active again, and the Vajra Temple was preparing to organize a large-scale encirclement and suppression operation this month.

After receiving this information, Wang Ping's deduction became smooth all of a sudden. After more than ten breaths, Wang Ping said under Yu Lian's gaze: "Ao Yi doesn't want me to care about him extracting the spirituality of Zhongzhou, and he also used those followers of Huishan Zhenjun as a warning."

As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of colorful light from the direction of Hushan Kingdom shot straight into outer space, filling the sky over there with fairy air, as if a fairy was about to descend from heaven.

It was Taoist Huai Mo who officially advanced to the fourth realm! (End of this chapter)
