There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Kering got the answer he wanted and left satisfied.

After Kaiyun left, Wang Ping did not meditate again. Perhaps it was because his realm had been elevated and he had an unprecedented confidence in his heart, which gave rise to an idea in his mind.

A locust tree leaf appeared in front of him, and wood spirit runes quickly appeared on the leaf, turning into a "clone rune". Two breaths later, a clone separated from the wood spirit in Wang Ping's body.

"Hey, is your clone so powerful?"

Yu Lian watched Wang Ping's movements, and when the clone appeared she was amazed at its strength.

Wang Ping smiled. His current clone was already equivalent to an adult wood spirit, which was the strength he had before he achieved perfection.

However, he can only summon two such clones at most, and they can only be controlled remotely through transfer talismans. They cannot have independent memories like puppets.

After Wang Ping took a look at this identity, he used the transfer array to gather back the other two clones from the mountaintop dojo and the underground of Sanhe Prefecture.

"Are you planning to use your clone to fool Ke Yun?"

Yu Lian guessed what Wang Ping was thinking.

Wang Ping reached out and stroked Yu Lian's head, smiling and responding, "How can you say it's a lie? This clone is powerful enough to handle the situation here."

Yu Lian immediately shrank her body and lay on Wang Ping's shoulder. Then she saw Wang Ping quietly leaving the starry sky. Her clone walked to the position where Wang Ping was just now and entered into a state of meditation just like Wang Ping did before.

Wang Ping moved to the vicinity of the ecological zone of the demon clan and the Star God Alliance, and landed in the front hall of the Taiyan Sect's residence in the ecological zone. He also summoned a clone and used it to replace his own golden statue in the front hall.

"Are you planning to practice here for a while?"

Yulian asked.

Wang Ping shook his head and disappeared again.

When he appeared again, he was already above the transfer formation near the Moon Station. The Linshui Mansion disciples guarding there discovered him at the first time, but did not make any reaction, because when these disciples discovered him, their memories would be corrected, and Wang Ping did not even need to do anything, Yu Lian, who was good at the art of soul, could handle them.

However, Wang Ping was always very cautious in his actions. He just glanced at the Moon Base and flew to the starry sky nearby. This starry sky was indeed cleared out by Linshui Mansion as the intelligence said. Wang Ping even saw a flying boat of Linshui Mansion passing quickly under the starry sky.

"That little white dragon is making such a big move. Is he planning to gather all the spirituality and energy from outer space to Zhongzhou Star? No, he wants to summon a cosmic flood to complete the final evolution!"

Yu Lian quickly understood the purpose of the magic circle set up by Linshui Mansion under the starry sky.

Wang Ping did not speak. He took Yu Lian and hid in the wood spirit energy. After flying around Zhongzhou Star, he stood above the South China Sea and looked at the islands below and said, "He wants to use the rules set by the True Lords of Zhongzhou Star to break through the shackles of life, and then use the magic array in outer space to summon the cosmic flood, so as to survive the thunder tribulation of the fifth realm."

"Will it succeed?"

"Except for Lord Long, the other Lords are against him. He can't try like Jiang Cun until his body can't bear it. He only has one chance, and this time he will be besieged by us."

"So he's still going to insist?"

There was a gloating tone in Yu Lian's tone.

Wang Ping looked into the deep space. Ao Yi was already extremely blessed. If it were someone else, he would have been schemed by the True Lords and turned into cosmic dust.

"Let's go down and have a look."

He looked towards the Southeast Islands below the atmosphere, entered a state of 'nothingness', activated a transfer talisman, and descended to the Central Island with the rain lotus.

Ever since Jiang Cun was promoted to the fourth realm ten years ago, the heavy rain has stopped, and the only difference between the central island and before is that it has become very prosperous.

In Wang Ping's sight, the structure of the water spirit particles here is very tight. They form a big net in this world, with the central mountain as the core, expanding outward to the end of the sky, constantly absorbing the natural spiritual energy of the sea.

Wang Ping transformed himself into an ordinary Qigong practitioner and stayed in a Taoist temple for several days. He did not check on Ao Yi's condition, but only visited some famous scenic spots and then quietly left with Yu Lian. They were not in a hurry to leave the southeast waters, but appeared on Ao Hong's Huixin Island.

But when Wang Ping caught Ao Hong's breath, his original intention to talk to Ao Hong dimmed again. In the end, after secretly observing for a short time, he returned to the dojo on the top of the mountain.

Decades later, Zhonghui City is no longer so stable, because the power of Linshui Prefecture has expanded to Shang'an Port. There are occasional encounters on the sea, small-scale confrontations on land, and sometimes even fights between inbound monks.

Pingdong Sect, Dandao Sect, Jiuding Sect and others have all sent core disciples to be stationed in Zhonghui City. Wen Hai personally goes to Zhonghui City to inspect the defense line every month. Taiyan Sect has two third-level core disciples stationed here permanently, and there are more than a dozen third-level core disciples in the side sects.

The people in Linshui Prefecture also knew the significance of this place to the Southern Taoist tradition, so they didn't dare to really tear their faces apart. The usual war of attrition was just a pretense. Of course, this kind of tacit understanding only existed among the top leaders, while the lower-level Qigong practitioners and ordinary soldiers were fighting very seriously.

Wang Ping's return did not attract anyone's attention, and no one knew he had left.

Qianmu Temple was as deserted as when he left. Wang Ping's disciples all had their own things to do now and were so busy that they had basically no time to come back and visit.

Yu Lian knew that Wang Ping was intentionally weakening his presence, so she didn't travel around like she used to.

After resting for more than ten days, Wang Ping took Yu Lian into the underground cave of the mountaintop temple. Yu Lian communicated silently with the believers, while Wang Ping continued to refine the forests in various places.

...

Ten years passed in a flash.

Over the years, forest coverage and fit have only increased slightly, reaching (24/100). This is mainly because people in this era need a lot of wood for their lives. Newly grown trees will be cut down as long as there is a town nearby. In addition, wars in various places require the construction of engineering machinery, etc., so a forest can be cut down in a few days.

Therefore, this matter can only be accomplished after Ao Yi’s matter is over and a fixed regulation is formed.

Wang Ping did not continue his seclusion, but took Yu Lian to travel around. This time they did not fly, but planned to measure the land with their feet, as a way of giving themselves a vacation.

On this day, they had just arrived at an official road in the south of Zhongtian Mountains and were drinking tea in a teahouse at the foot of the mountain when the puppet staying at the dojo on the top of the mountain sent him a message, telling him that Taoist Zhigong was outside seeking a meeting.

Wang Ping did not go back. He used the transfer talisman to transfer his clone in the outer space demon ecological zone back to the mountaintop Taoist temple to meet Zhi Gong.

Zhi Gong did not find Chang. She came here for no other reason than to build an ecological zone in outer space to gather disciples of the Cave Gate, and to find disciples of the Taiyan Sect to build a transfer array.

Wang Ping naturally would not refuse. His clone contacted Zi Luan in person, and Zhi Gong left with satisfaction.

"Under the high pressure of Linshui Prefecture, everyone is a little bit overwhelmed." After Wang Ping transferred his clone back to outer space, he looked at the two Taoists walking on the official road outside the teahouse and said softly. "It's normal. Didn't Taiyan Sect also create an ecological zone in outer space?" Yu Lian didn't care.

Wang Ping smiled and stopped talking. He asked the shopkeeper to drop two copper coins and followed the Taoist priest in front of him to the path leading to the top of the mountain. They were going to Daguan Mountain. It was heard that from the top of the mountain one could overlook the majestic sea to the east and the Binguan Skyline. The sunrise and sunset both had breathtaking views.

These beautiful scenes were nothing to Wang Ping. He just deliberately used this time to slow down his life.

There was a Taoist temple on the top of the mountain. Wang Ping did not enter the temple. Instead, he went around it and climbed to the top of the mountain to chat with other literati and monks. The topics ranged from cultivation to the current situation.

In the hearts of the lower-class people and Qigong practitioners, Ao Yi's evaluation is not low, and most of them are positive. The main reason is that although Linshui Prefecture seems to be strong, every time it occupies a piece of land, it does not make things too difficult for the local people and cultivators. If there are qualified Qigong practitioners, they will deliberately give them some advice.

Wang Ping didn't care about the people's hearts that Ao Yi was fighting for. He chatted enthusiastically with these people, occasionally interjecting a word or two.

At sunset, many writers left their writings, then called their friends back to the nearby Taoist temples, while the monks found some places to meditate.

When Wang Ping was about to enter into meditation with Yu Lian, he received a message from Quan Wen using a communication token, telling him that there would be an impromptu gathering at 15:30 in the evening.

There have been temporary gatherings over the years, but Wang Ping has announced to the public that he is in seclusion, so he has never participated in any of them. He was planning to ignore it today as well, but as he was thinking, the idea of ​​participating suddenly came to his mind, which made him stretch out his hand to calculate.

However, since the purpose of the calculation was not clear, nothing was calculated.

The third quarter of the evening soon arrived, and Wang Ping decided to go in to see what was going on. As his consciousness sank into it, he soon saw the familiar round table and seats. Yu Lian sensed Wang Ping's thoughts and immediately connected with Wang Ping's spiritual consciousness.

"Lord Changqing!"

Yuqing monk Shi Xu was the first to stand up and salute, followed by the others who bowed in greeting.

After Wang Ping returned the greeting, he walked to his seat and sat down. Then he looked around and found that the people who came included Bu Qiong, Quan Wen, the tiger demon Wang Yan, and Cang Lan from the Taiyin Sect.

"There are two main issues this time. If you have any commissions or information, you can speak up first." After Wang Ping sat down, Quan Wen did not wait for anyone else and directly presided over the meeting.

No one spoke, which meant there were no special commissions or information.

After more than ten breaths of silence, Quan Wen coughed lightly and talked about the intelligence he had obtained: "Our peripheral members have collected an interesting thing. A special organization suddenly appeared in the Far East Continent. The purpose of this organization is to awaken the True Lord Diwen."

He looked at Wang Ping and said politely, "Master Zhigong of the Diku Sect has joined this organization and has probably become one of the leaders of this organization. Has Master Zhigong revealed anything?"

Wang Ping shook his head, "No, is your intelligence accurate?"

Quan Wen answered seriously, "This is the source of intelligence that we have been operating in the Cave Gate for more than a thousand years. I got this information five years ago and confirmed its accuracy through another channel."

Wang Ping's doubt just now was because the puppet he planted inside the Cave Gate did not receive any similar news. This indirectly proves that the Cave Gate's affairs this time were handled very secretly, or his puppet had been exposed long ago.

Looking at Quan Wen's serious expression, Wang Ping nodded to show that he approved of his information, and then motioned for him to continue.

Quan Wen then looked at the others and continued, "In addition, according to reliable information, Taoist Yunsong also secretly returned to Zhongzhou Star and organized several high-level meetings of this organization."

Wang Ping had a lot of thoughts in his mind at once, but then he realized that they no longer posed a threat to him, so he didn't say much.

When everyone heard the news, they looked at Wang Ping intentionally or unintentionally. After all, the Diku Sect and the Taiyan Sect were almost the same faction in recent years. Wang Ping's calm state made them look away.

"Is there any problem with the intelligence? The Dikumen has established many similar organizations over the years." Bu Qiong asked.

Wang Ping could tell from her question that she should not have stayed in the Demon Realm during this period, or even stayed in Zhongzhou Star.

Quan Wen pondered for a moment and said, "I was wondering, what if this is the response from Master Di Wen?"

As soon as he said this, even Wang Ping couldn't help but frown.

Cang Lan continued, "I think you're overthinking it. It will take a long time for Master Diwen to wake up."

His tone was affirmative.

Quan Wen did not refute. He smiled and said, "I'm just reminding you. I think we should pay attention to this issue."

Everyone nodded at this.

Wang Ping also listened to Quan Wen's warning. If he investigated with a purpose, the matter of the cave door should be easily investigated.

Just as Quan Wen was about to continue speaking, a figure appeared. It was You Han from the Star God Alliance. He apologized as soon as he appeared, "Sorry, I was delayed for a while. Where were you talking about?"

He looked to Quan Wen for an answer.

Quan Wen replied as he sat down, "We just finished talking about the cave door."

This revealed that You Han knew about the movement of the cave door in advance, and then he heard Quan Wen say: "You came at the right time, you can tell the second thing."

You Han nodded and took over the topic, "The second thing is related to our Star God Alliance. A month ago, there was a civil strife in the alliance, and it almost broke out into a full-scale war. Fortunately, in the end, the fifth-level cultivators from various factions came forward to quell the civil strife. Haha, no, because the fifth-level cultivators intervened, it can no longer be called a civil strife, it was just a small-scale battle."

After he finished speaking, he started laughing.

Bu Qiong continued, "That's true. I was temporarily transferred back to the border to investigate the whole story, but I'm just pretending."

You Han added: "This was a test. The result of the test was that the five realms all took a tough stance. To be honest, this surprised me. Many of them disliked each other and should be the ones who wanted to cause chaos the most."

Wang Ping thought about it and felt that he should experience his own value, so he spoke up and said, "They may have an agreement, and this agreement may stipulate a time. In this timeline, the Star God Alliance is not allowed to have unrest."

Bu Qiong and You Han were both stunned, and then fell into deep thought.

"If that's the case, their protest is nothing more than a joke." Youhan seemed to have suddenly lost all interest. "After all, there are even rules for the time of the protest. What's the point?"

After he finished speaking, he clasped his fists to everyone and said, "I still have some things to do, so I'll take my leave now." (End of this chapter)
