There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Who in this world is not a chess piece?

Most people in this world are not even qualified to be pawns, such as the creatures who just died in Xizhou. Just before they lost their lives, they were still fanatically believing in the people who wanted to kill them.

Wang Ping faced everyone's gazes with a confident smile on his face. His confidence came from his current level of cultivation.

"It was the decision of the True Lords to seal His Highness Ao Yi. All the affairs of the world are in your hands. We must not neglect them." Wang Ping first made a false move, explained the cause and effect of the matter, then looked around at everyone present and said, "This matter is of great importance. Representatives from all factions should go there. We must not hesitate."

He didn't point out anyone directly, he really didn't want to be involved in any cause and effect.

Rong Yang looked at Wang Ping, chuckled, and stood beside him. He said to everyone, "Sealing Ao Yi is a big deal for the cultivation world. I think it would be better to hold a ceremony in the name of the Taoist Palace to announce Ao Yi's crimes to the world. We can select a suitable deep sea area and have each sect send representatives to serve as witnesses. How do you think?"

Kaiyun watched the two people singing the same tune, and said "Saint's mercy" to show his presence. When everyone looked at him, the black cracks on his face quickly disappeared, and he tried to act like a high monk and added: "My Vajra Temple can send disciples to guard the sealed area until the True Lords come to a new decision."

He thought his proposal would be praised by everyone, but he didn't expect Quan Wen of the demon clan to directly refute: "I don't trust the Vajra Temple. You have done too many things that have been committed by the public!"

Kaiyun's eyes instantly fell on Quan Wen. Normally, he would have scolded him loudly, but now he sensed Wang Ping's aura beside him and just showed displeasure. The distant Lingzong retorted: "Saint, be merciful. How can our Vajra Temple allow the demons to interfere?"

Quan Wen didn't care about Ling Zong's refutation at all. Instead, one could even see joy between his brows. His remarks just now were tentative, testing the demon clan's right to speak. Although he was refuted, no one questioned his right to speak in this occasion.

The person who gave him this power was Wang Ping, because everyone knew that the Quanwen demon clan had a close relationship with the Taiyan Sect.

It was so ridiculous that a Xuanmen cultivator who had reached the fourth realm of perfection had a greater influence than the demon cultivators of the demon race who had reached the 'Daluo' realm.

But I don’t know how long this influence can last, because many people are tired of the rules set by the True Lords.

"This is not a matter for debate!"

Rong Yang glanced at Kai Yun and said, "The sealed area does need people stationed there, but this is the business of the Dao Palace, not the Vajra Temple alone."

The Taoist Palace, which was originally in name only, has been mentioned several times in this short period of time.

"Then let the three-chair meeting of the Taoist Palace come up with a charter." Zhi Gong felt Wang Ping's gaze and stood up to speak.

Seeing this, others echoed the sentiment.

That's how it came to pass.

Lord Yuxing didn't like such occasions. When he saw that things were settled, he said in a cold voice: "Let me know when you have agreed on the sealing location. It's best to agree on it within half a month. Also, Huai Mo will be the second seat of Yuqing Sect from now on."

"It won't take half a month. The sealing location will be set at Ao Yi's original dojo." Wang Ping looked at Ao Hong and said with a smile: "Daoyou, please vacate Ao Yi's dojo as soon as possible."

"Okay, give me half a day!" Ao Hong responded with a fist. He knew that this was the reward given by Wang Ping for the information he had provided before. After responding, he signaled to Ao Jiang.

Ao Jiang has already seen clearly that during the time when he was in a daze, the young cultivator of the second realm had already cultivated to the same realm as his elder brother, and now has become the leader of Xuanmen.

At this moment, he has not really understood the difficulty of the fourth realm cultivation, so he does not have much feeling about Wang Ping's cultivation. However, he has almost witnessed the whole process of Wang Ping's cultivation from a second realm minor cultivator to his current status. Looking at Wang Ping, who is surrounded by people and covered in mysterious light, the contrast is stronger than that of anyone else.

Seeing that his gesture had no effect, Ao Hong flew to Ao Jiang's side and said in a voice transmission: "We should leave. There is no place for us here anymore."

After saying that, he pulled Ao Jiang and disappeared into the sky.

Then Taoist Ru Hui and Taoist Du Xue bowed to everyone and left hand in hand.

Lord Yuxing looked at the four people from Linshui Mansion who were leaving, and said to Wang Ping, "Now that the matter has been settled, I will go to Ao Yi's dojo and wait for him. You should send someone over as soon as possible."

Wang Ping nodded in agreement, and Yuxing Mansion Lord turned into a stream of light and left. Wang Ping looked at Rong Yang and said with a smile: "I agree with what Daoyou just proposed. Many people in the two states have been deceived by Ao Yi. His crimes should indeed be made public. This is in line with the decision of the True Lords."

As he spoke, he stretched out his left hand to calculate, "Let's set the Dharma Assembly on October 13th of this year, and the location will be Taiyan Mountain. Also, it's a good idea to entrust the supervision of the Sealed Land to the three chairmen. You can pass down the order after you return, and it's best to finalize this matter before the Dharma Assembly begins."

He looked around and his eyes fell on Zhigong, "Daoist Zhigong, Daoist Huaimo, and..." His eyes moved to look at Canglan, "And Daoist Canglan, the three of you will temporarily serve as the second chair host and be responsible for the daily affairs of the Dao Palace. As for the headquarters of the Dao Palace, it will be temporarily set in Haicheng of Hushan Country. How do you think?"

At the end of his speech, Wang Ping looked at Kaiyun and Rongyang.

Rong Yang responded indifferently: "I have no problem." The focus of the Zhenyang Sect is now on Beizhou, and it does not care about the affairs of other regions.

Kaiyun felt helpless. All his plans vanished the moment Wang Ping captured Ao Yi. Although he was unwilling to face Wang Ping's probing gaze, he had to put on a warm smile and agreed, "This is the best way at the moment."

After Kaiyun answered, Wang Ping pinched his left hand and made a magic gesture. The four talismans around him disappeared out of thin air, and the mysterious light around him also disappeared into his body.

Zhi Gong, Huai Mo and Cang Lan all bowed and accepted the responsibility.

"This matter ends here. We have completed the instructions of the True Lords." After Wang Ping left this sentence, he took Yu Lian and turned into a stream of light and flew towards Qianmu Temple.

"The new second representative of Zhenyang Sect is Qu Xuan. He will discuss the next things with you." Rongyang looked around and said this. Finally, he looked at Kaiyun and chuckled, then turned into a beam of fire and flew towards the northern sky.

Only then did the three Lingzong people dare to come over and surround Kaiyun, whose golden spirit was damaged, to ask about the situation.

Kaiyun was very suspicious. Facing the three people's questions, he just shook his head and said nothing. Then he looked at Lingyuan and ordered: "Lingyuan, you stay and clean up the mess. Lingzong and Lingxi, you two go and clean up the mess in Xizhou."

After giving the order, he didn't wait for the three to reply, and impatiently turned into a ray of golden light and headed west.

The remaining four realms cultivators were silent for a moment, and then Bu Qiong broke the silence. She clasped her fists towards Zhigong and said, "Since Lord Changqing has given the order, you can do it. If you need any help, just let me know."

Quan Wen was the second to express his opinion, "Since Lord Changqing has given the order, if the three Taoists do not mind, I can stay and assist you."

Canglan of the Taiyin Sect in the distance was filled with joy, knowing very well why Wang Ping would choose him, but on the surface he looked as confused as Canghai next to him.

"What does Lord Changqing mean? Why did you choose my Taiyin Sect instead of anyone else?"

Canghai asked through voice transmission. Canglan replied: "How should I know? It's just that the situation doesn't allow me to refuse. The most important thing for us now is to fill a fourth realm quota as soon as possible."

Canghai said again: "This is something that the True Lord has decided. Is there anyone who dares to obstruct it?"

The 'True Lord' he referred to was only True Lord Bai Yan.

"It's always right to be cautious and modest in everything. Ao Yi's previous experience is a lesson for us."

"That's right. Who would have thought that the Lord of Changqing Mansion, who has always had no sense of existence, could actually cultivate to perfection in the fourth realm in more than a thousand years? When I practiced for a thousand years, I had just entered the third realm!"

Canghai's tone revealed envy but not jealousy, because the instinctive fear in his heart prevented him from having such thoughts. As an old man in the world of cultivation, he knew too well what it meant to achieve perfection in the four realms.

Canglan responded: "There is no need to worry too much. We don't have to make any changes. We can just follow the established rules."

"What if the rules conflict with what Lord Changqing wants to do? Considering the state of the Ether Sect and the current situation, Lord Changqing is probably planning to enter the fifth realm. The world is about to enter his era, but I don't know what his ending will be? If he can become the first humane cultivator in Xuanmen to be promoted to the fifth realm..."

He did not express the following words.

While they were talking, the others had already greeted each other, and Huai Mo and Zhi Gong both turned their eyes to Canglan.

"Then the True Lords will make the decision, so don't think too much."

Cang Lan responded while politely clasping his fists towards everyone. Then a snow-white auspicious cloud rose under his feet, covering up the gloomy aura of his Taiyin Sect, and flew towards Zhi Gong and Huai Mo.

When Canghai was about to follow, Canglan sent him another message, "Go back and take good care of the sect's headquarters, and complete the separation with the Vajra Temple as soon as possible."

...

Mountain top ashram.

When Wang Ping appeared in front of the old locust tree, the eyes of Shen Xiaozhu and Hu Qianqian, who had been waiting for a long time, lit up, their anxious expressions were relieved, and they immediately bowed to greet him.

Wang Ping swung the sword in his hand, and the sword floated up by itself, then gently leaned against the edge of the coffee table.

"Meow~"

The calico cat jumped down from the old locust tree, followed by a little black cat, which was Shen Xiaozhu's pet.

Wang Ping looked at his two disciples, then at the disciples behind them, and ordered: "Go build an altar outside the front hall and prepare to worship Yuanwu Zhenjun!"

He had completed the tasks assigned by Yuanwu Zhenjun, and now the first thing he had to do was to report, and then take the opportunity to ask about his promotion to the fifth realm.

After receiving the order, Hu Qianqian and Shen Xiaozhu retreated with their respective disciples, while Yu Lian followed with the calico cat and the little black cat. Soon, the quiet front hall became lively. While they were building the altar, Yu Lian narrated Wang Ping's deeds like a storyteller, adding fuel to the fire.

Wang Ping stared at the 'magic sword', but he was actually thinking about his next move.

Ao Yi's problem was solved, but a mess was left behind, especially in Xizhou. The stench of corpses might spread to Zhongzhou in a few days.

It is no longer appropriate for Xizhou to be in charge of the artifact. He can wait until the October Dharma Assembly to propose that the artifact should be returned to Zhongzhou. If that doesn't work, he can divide it with Vajra Temple.

The most important thing at the moment is naturally to negotiate peace with Linshui Prefecture as soon as possible, let their disciples leave Zhongzhou on their own, especially the Southern Taoist sect, and then use Linshui Prefecture to build his incense temple in the southeast sea area.

Then he planned to take over Hushan Kingdom, Zhongshan Kingdom and the entire Dongzhou. He even wanted to get his hands on the recovered Xizhou and the unattended Far East Continent.

However, the prerequisite for doing this is to obtain the consent of all the True Lords.

In addition, now that he has perfected the fourth realm, he needs one or two Tai Yan fourth realm cultivators to act as a front. In order to maintain the stability of the wood spirit, it is time to give some opportunities to the Tai Yan cultivators who have perfected the third realm.

Of course, these also require the consent of all the True Lords.

Given the current situation, the True Lords will most likely not make things difficult for him, because they also have vacancies to be promoted to the fourth realm. For example, the Vajra Temple, Taiyin Sect, and Yuqing Sect all have a vacancy that needs to be filled urgently.

They also issued laws and regulations in the name of the Taoist Palace to prohibit the people from cutting down trees indiscriminately. However, the prerequisite for doing this is to find new energy sources for the people. There is no oil and natural gas underground in this world, and there is very little coal. It was placed underground by the Dikumen specifically for the development of iron tools.

The Zhenyang Sect most likely has a way to solve this problem. If it doesn't have the underground cave door, there will definitely be a way. However, the popularization of new energy will bring about a qualitative change in the civilization of this world. I don't know whether you True Lords can agree.

After sorting out his thoughts, Wang Ping used the magic array to directly contact Zi Luan and others of the Taiyan Sect in the way of communicating with believers, and asked them to come to the temple on the top of the mountain.

When this was done, Yu Lian fell from the sky and called out, "The altar is done."

Wang Ping was about to get up and go to the front hall, but stopped when his eyes glanced at the 'Demon Sword'. It was not appropriate to leave this thing here. It was not that he was worried that someone would steal it, but he was afraid that his disciples would not be able to resist the temptation to check it, causing the spiritual veins in their bodies to be polluted. With their cultivation level, such pollution might cause their realm to stagnate for hundreds or even thousands of years.

"Use the sealing array to collect it. Ao Yi used the sealing array before."

Yu Lian guessed what Wang Ping was thinking.

As soon as she said this, Xinghai's illusory voice appeared. He first glanced at Yulian, then said to Wang Ping: "Mark it with your Divine Kingdom Seal, and you can take it into the Divine Kingdom like the Heavenly Sword. The Divine Kingdom is a good place to go, and I like it very much."

Facing Xinghai's gaze, Yu Lian quickly landed on Wang Ping's shoulder and spat out her snake tongue at Xinghai.

Wang Ping nodded after a little thought. The Kingdom of God has the faith of all people. Even if problems arise, there are powerful divine arts and spiritual power that can temporarily suppress them, providing time for subsequent processing.

As for polluting the Kingdom of God, that is almost impossible. The Kingdom of God can only be polluted if the owner of the Kingdom of God has distorted thoughts. The possibility of external energy and consciousness polluting it is extremely low.

A golden mark appeared out of thin air above the coffee table as Wang Ping connected to his kingdom of God, then sank into the hilt of the "Magic Sword", leaving a locust tree-shaped mark.

Then Wang Ping's mind moved, and a golden light flashed on his left hand, and the 'magic sword' floated up and disappeared into the golden light. (End of this chapter)
