There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 885 Showdown
When the dragon roared, Lord Yuxing stretched out her fair right hand, and colorful mysterious light appeared around her. As she gently pointed forward, a golden halo spread over the sky above Haicheng, blocking the sight of the people in the city and the monks of Yuqing Sect, making them unable to look directly at Ao Yi's huge dragon body in the clouds.

Taoist Huai Mo appeared beside Lord Yuxing at this time, looking at Ao Yi in the clouds with a serious face.

"Is this how the Yuqing Sect treats guests?"

Ao Yi's deep voice rang out from the clouds, causing ripples in the golden halo constructed by Lord Yuxing above Haicheng.

Lord Yuxing's expression remained indifferent. He looked at Ao Yi and said, "If you come to visit my Yuqing Sect, you must learn to be humble. If you can't learn, I can help you recall the days when you were hiding from others!"

"Ang~"

Ao Yi roared like a dragon again, and anger could be heard in this roar.

"You remind me of your dirty deeds!"

"If you are here to provoke me today, then I, the Yuqing Sect, will fight you to the end."

Colorful mysterious light was shining brightly around Yuxing Mansion Lady. She seemed to have deep malice towards Ao Yi. She changed her usual peaceful attitude and was about to fight with Ao Yi.

Thousands of trees overlook the mountains.

Wang Ping and Yu Lian were extremely surprised at what was happening in Yuqing Sect at this moment. They did not expect Ao Yi to take the initiative to provoke them, and they did not expect that Yuxing Mansion Lord would hate Ao Yi so much.

"Logically speaking, the Yuqing Cult and the Dragon Clan should have been allies in the past!"

Yu Lian said doubtfully.

Wang Ping nodded. Before the rise of humanity, most human tribes worshipped the dragon clan for protection, and many of the lower-level monks of the Yuqing Sect were humans. Logically, the two factions should have a deep connection.

But think about it, humans had limited faith at the time, and although the Yuqing Sect and the Dragon Clan were both protecting humans, it was normal for them to fight with each other for faith and practice magic. Add in some high-level star gods and it would be even more chaotic.

Just when the two sides were on the verge of a fight, Ling Zong and Ling Yuan from the Vajra Temple appeared above the Yuqing Sect with bursts of golden light. The water spirit formation that had originally appeared beside Ao Yi disappeared again because of their appearance.

"This humble monk greets Lord Yuxing and His Highness Ao Yi."

The two of them bowed to Yuxing and Aoyi in unison, and then Lingzong said to Yuxing Mansion Lord: "Master Kaiyun is in seclusion and practicing hard. He cannot attend the Dharma Assembly in person, so he specially ordered the two of us to come on his behalf."

After that, he put his hands together and said to Huai Mo: "Congratulations, Taoist Priest, on your promotion to the fourth realm."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bu Qiong and Man Su came together. They appeared a few hundred feet to the left of Yuxing Mansion Lord and Taoist Huai Mo, and then rode on a cloud with a kind smile to congratulate Huai Mo.

When the two men congratulated Huai Mo, Zhigong appeared in the northern sky, and after the two men congratulated him, he also flew over on auspicious clouds.

"It has been nearly a thousand years since we last met at Zhenyang Mountain, and you are still as charming and graceful as ever." Zhi Gong mentioned the time when he and Huai Mo attacked Zhenyang Mountain together.

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Zhigong." Huai Mo smiled.

Just when Ao Yi was in an awkward situation, a green light flashed across the sky from the direction of Linshui Prefecture and appeared above Haicheng. It was Ao Hong in a wide-sleeved python robe.

"My fellow Taoists, how are you?"

Ao Hong smiled and bowed. Without waiting for anyone to respond, he looked at Yuxing Mansion Lord and said, "Anyone who comes is a guest. It would be rude to turn a guest away."

He then looked at his brother and said, "Brother, we are old friends, why bother about a few jokes?"

Ao Yi snorted coldly and transformed into a human form, landing beside Ao Hong. He was wearing a pure white Taoist robe with wide sleeves, but his robe was embroidered with a real five-clawed dragon. The dragon head on the chest of the robe had sharp eyes and looked around. On his head was a large crown inlaid with gold and jade, which looked quite majestic.

When Ao Yi appeared, Ao Hong asked knowingly, "Where is Daoist Fellow Changqing? Are you still in seclusion?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a streak of light streaked across the sky, and Wang Ping's figure appeared hundreds of feet away. "I shouldn't be late, right?"

Wang Ping's tone was casual, and he bowed to everyone with a smile, his eyes still looking at the red sun in the clouds. It should be around two quarters past three in the morning.

"Of course not, we arrived early."

Bu Qiong responded to Wang Ping first.

Wang Ping had a calm smile on his face. He glanced at everyone present, then flew towards Yuxing Fujun and Huai Mo on a auspicious cloud.

"Greetings to Lord Yuxing."

He saluted with his fists, then looked at Ao Yi politely, also saluted with his fists, and said: "Greetings, Senior Ao Yi."

The attitude is impeccable.

Lord Yuxing immediately clasped his fists in return.

Ao Yi said "hmm", and Ao Hong smiled and said, "It's been a while since I last saw you, and it seems your cultivation has improved. I'm afraid you will be able to achieve perfection in the fourth realm soon, right?"

"Fellow Daoist, you are joking. How can I achieve perfection in the four realms?"

Wang Ping is very humble.

After he said this, he bowed to Ling Zong and Ling Yuan who were not far away, and then his eyes fell on Zhi Gong, Bu Qiong and Man Su. The three of them took the initiative to bow without waiting for Wang Ping to greet them, and took this opportunity to come closer and stay with him.

Ao Yi watched quietly, watching the two people from the Vajra Temple return the greeting to Wang Ping solemnly, watching the Yuqing Sect being polite to Wang Ping, and watching Zhi Gong and others following Wang Ping's lead. He already had a plan in his mind.

As for Ao Hong's praise for Wang Ping's near-perfect cultivation of the fourth realm, Ao Yi would not believe it, because he had walked this path and knew that it was almost impossible.

After Wang Ping greeted everyone, he joked to Taoist Huai Mo, "We have come from afar, Taoist friend, you won't really leave us hanging here chatting?"

Huai Mo smiled and invited, "Lord Changqing is joking. Your presence at Yuqing Sect is truly a great honor to the Yuqing Sect. Although our Yuqing Sect is poor, we can still provide some snacks and fruits. Please come this way."

When everyone was about to agree, Ao Yi stepped forward, looked at Huai Mo with contempt, and said with a pretentious bow: "Congratulations on your promotion to the fourth level."

After saying that, he looked around and said, "Also, I want to take advantage of everyone's discussion to say something. Since my ninth brother needs a lot of spiritual energy to advance, the three chiefs of the Dao Palace have unanimously decided to collect some spiritual energy from Zhongzhou and Xizhou. This process is expected to last about a hundred years."

His tone was not one of negotiation, but of a routine notification.

No one responded to him. Ao Yi was not surprised by the silence caused by his words. His eyes fell on Wang Ping, as if he wanted to ask Wang Ping's thoughts and let Wang Ping express his opinion in public.

The Lingzong of the Vajra Temple responded first: "This is against the rules. The power of the three chiefs of the Dao Palace is granted by all the second seats. Without the discussion of the second seat meeting, you have no qualifications and no power to decide this matter."

Yuxing Mansion Lord might really not like Ao Yi. She usually seldom spoke, but now she said, "Your arrogance does not match your strength. The current situation in the world was the result of countless casualties back then. Your Linshui Mansion occupies the ocean, and Yuqing Sect occupies Hushan Country. This was decided by the True Lords. If you want to change this situation, it's very simple. We can just fight again."

Wang Ping didn't expect Yuxing Mansion Lord to say this. Many people didn't expect her to say this. Even the two people from Vajra Temple looked at Yuxing Mansion Lord in surprise.

"Your Yuqing Sect has long been in decline. If you really fight, your foundation will be uprooted!"

Ao Yi's eyes turned cold again. He looked at the others and asked, "Do you think so too?" This time he did not give Wang Ping time and asked Wang Ping directly, "What do you think of the Taiyan Sect? Will you let me extract spirituality from the land of Zhongzhou?"

Although Wang Ping's cultivation was not as good as Ao Yi's at the moment, he was confident, and Rong Yang had everything covered. So, under the gaze of everyone, he cupped his hands and said, "Zhongzhou has just experienced a great disaster, and it is really impossible to experience the loss of spiritual power again. I hope Your Highness Ao Yi will not be offended."

"Are you rejecting me? Do you know the consequences of doing so?"

Ao Yi's eyes were as bright as lightning, and water runes appeared on the fair skin of his face.

Yu Lian, who was lying on Wang Ping's shoulder, shuddered suddenly, and water shone on her scales, as if she was determined to fight to the end.

Wang Ping still responded with a smile: "It's not a rejection, but it's impossible! Daoist Jiang Cun and I have known each other since childhood, but the people and cultivators of Zhongzhou cannot be in chaos. This is the instruction of the True Lords!"

He used righteousness as an excuse.

Although Wang Ping did not want to be the first to speak out, since Ao Yi and Yuxing Mansion Lord did not play by the rules, he had no choice but to be the first to speak out. This time he stood for justice, so he did not have to worry about too many consequences.

"Have you really thought it through? The Taiyan Sect now depends on you, and I can defeat you without any effort!" Ao Yi threatened coldly. He needed Wang Ping to surrender in public, which would save him a lot of trouble.

Without waiting for Wang Ping to answer, the Spiritual Master of the Vajra Temple said, "Your Highness Ao Yi, what you said is wrong. The Taiyan Sect and our Vajra Temple are both Xuanmen. Our Vajra Temple will naturally not stand idly by!"

After he said that, he and Ling Yuan transformed into a golden light and landed beside Wang Ping.

Wang Ping cursed inwardly, "Old fox". This old monk seemed to be helping him out, but in fact he was adding fuel to the fire. He was really evil.

Lord Yuxing also expressed his opinion: "You, Ao Yi, can't cover the sky with one hand!"

Ao Yi's eyes became colder and colder, with a layer of dragon scales covering half of his face. He looked at everyone and said confidently: "Even if you all work together, you can't stop me!"

His eyes were full of disdain, and as his voice echoed, a chill suddenly descended, which was the cooling energy of the water spirit. He actually tried to solve all problems directly with force.

Ao Yi was not pretending. His eyes filled with murderous intent scanned all those who opposed him. As his momentum continued to rise, a strong wind was formed due to the interweaving of cold and hot air.

Ling Zong and Ling Yuan made a hand gesture in unison, and then used a bow to summon her 'Mountain-Suppressing Tower' which contained the power of the earth veins. When the rich earth vein aura emerged, the strong wind stopped instantly, and the surging water spirit energy was also suppressed.

"What a great mountain-guarding tower, but it's a pity that this generation's owner is not good enough!"

Ao Yi stretched out his left hand and pointed, and the water spirit energy between heaven and earth instantly formed into ice swords that flashed coldly all over the sky.

Wang Ping's face was solemn, and he immediately summoned seven 'Seven Star Swords'. Bu Qiong and Man Su looked at each other when Wang Ping summoned the 'Seven Star Swords', and then they guarded Wang Ping on the left and right.

"I said, even if you all work together, you can't stop me in the slightest!"

"What if I'm included?"

A beam of fire shot up into the sky from the north, and then a scorching breath instantly descended over Haicheng, causing most of the ice swords in the sky to collapse directly. The golden light that Yuxing Mansion Lord had just constructed also quickly melted due to the high temperature, and a fire instantly broke out in the already dry inner city of Haicheng.

Rong Yang's figure appeared in front of Wang Ping accompanied by a flash of fire. He first glanced at the burning fire below, and as his eyes passed, the fire disappeared out of thin air.

"You're just an old antique from ancient times, and you're just like a country bumpkin. You don't even know the rules?" Rong Yang was really unforgiving with his words.

"Brother, let's take a long-term view on this matter." Ao Hong spoke to Ao Yi before the two sides really started fighting, and then looked at Wang Ping and others, "We must obtain the spiritual power of Zhongzhou. According to the old rules, the competent one will take it. How do you think?"

"Then the one who is capable will take the position!" Wang Ping spoke.

"it is good!"

Ao Hong agreed and turned to look at his elder brother.

Ao Yi did not respond. He ignored everyone's gazes and turned into a white dragon and disappeared into the clouds. He never looked down on anyone present from beginning to end.

Ao Hong clasped his fists to greet everyone, looked at Wang Ping calmly, then followed Ao Yi's steps and disappeared into the sky, but in a few breaths he appeared above the Dragon Palace on the central island.

It still rains heavily here, and people have long been accustomed to it. The rain will not have any effect on the body, but can purify diseases. However, many crops cannot be grown due to the heavy rain in recent years. Fortunately, the fish catch has increased several times, and there are also sea shipments from Xizhou.

"Except Rong Yang, they are all a bunch of rubbish. It seems that the heavens are blessing me. Although the death of the third brother allowed Rong Yang, the rubbish, to achieve perfection in the fourth realm, it also provided me with an opportunity for advancement. Without the attention of the True Lords, no one in this world can oppose me!"

Ao Yi stretched out his hand to catch the falling rain and looked at the huge water spirit formation that spanned more than three hundred feet in the distant sky.

In the center of the magic circle is a dragon that is slowly evolving into a real dragon under the nourishment of the water spirit. That is Jiang Cun who has successfully walked on water. He has passed the most dangerous stage and only needs to wait quietly to transform into a dragon.

Ao Hong just smiled along, and when Ao Yi looked at him, he asked, "Master Wang Qing needs us to send someone..."

"No need. As long as we don't disturb the spirits and abide by the so-called rules, he won't take action." Ao Yi interrupted Ao Hong's suggestion and ordered: "Send our disciples to build spiritual arrays in the coastal areas of Zhongzhou to speed up the collection of spirits. In addition, destroy the insignificant golden statues in our Taoist temples in various places."

Ao Hong agreed obediently: "Yes!"

"Also, we need to build a corresponding magic array in outer space. You should order disciples to take over the Moon Station in the name of the Dao Palace. Let the Taiyin disciples do this. They cannot accept my protection and do nothing."

Ao Hong nodded, knowing that his elder brother did this deliberately to let the disciples of Taoist Lin Shuang create conflicts. He had just agreed when he saw Ao Yi pick up a communication token.

"Your friend is more decisive than I thought. He has already taken action in Xizhou. It seems that he has prepared for this move a long time ago. But it doesn't matter. Can a junior who has practiced for less than a thousand years really turn the world upside down?"

Ao Yi put away the communication token nonchalantly.
