There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 900 Where Taoist Lin Shuang went

Linshui Mansion did not welcome anyone, so Wang Ping naturally had no reason to stay. He exchanged a few polite words with the Ao Hong brothers, then disappeared with Yu Lian.

After Wang Ping left, Ao Jiang deployed an isolation magic circle and said, "Seventh Brother seems to be very confident that Lord Changqing will be promoted to the fifth realm? But since the beginning of human civilization, there has never been a cultivator promoted to the fifth realm, right?"

Ao Hong smiled noncommittally, "Just because it didn't happen before doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. After more than 6,000 years of development, human civilization has reached a scale you can't imagine. The True Lords need someone with the same interests as them to uphold the rules they set."

"Seventh brother, are you referring to those monks in outer space? Them?" Ao Jiang's tone revealed disdain.

"Thousands of years have passed, and the scale of the outer border has grown to be larger than that of Zhongzhou Star. In the past few thousand years, they have transported nearly 30% of Zhongzhou Star's resources over there on the pretext of fighting against the outer border. The largest ecological zone is even comparable to the land of a state. Moreover, among them there are not only star gods, but also countless side sect monks, and even some madmen who absorb demonic energy."

Ao Hong looked up at the blue sky, his sight seemed to be able to penetrate the vast starry sky and see the rising foreign border forces.

Ao Jiang lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "It seems I have to take some time to go outside the domain."

Ao Hong shook his head. "It's very chaotic over there right now. I heard that a civil war broke out within the Star God Alliance not long ago, which almost led to a full-scale conflict among the various factions. So, you should stay at home and study. This will be very helpful for your divine practice."

Ao Jiang didn't say anything else. He looked towards the east and recalled what had happened over the years. Suddenly, he remembered a sentence from the Taoist book: To know that you don't know is the best; to not know that you know is a disease.

But how many people in this world can really do this?

"Can Lord Changqing do this?"

He secretly thought.

...

Mountain top ashram.

Wang Ping returned to his own dojo and first took out the two Star God Cores he had obtained. They were in similar condition to the Star God Cores Wang Ping had seen before, with complex rune circuits inside.

When the soul probed into the interior, one could see tiny, vast, and overlapping rune arrays, which were more complex than the interior of high-precision chips on Earth. It took Wang Ping's soul a long time to observe them clearly, but it was extremely difficult to remember them.

After trying several times, Wang Ping put down the core of the 'barrier' ability and studied the core of the 'time' ability, because he felt that the basic runes of the 'time' ability were not much different from the runes of the wood spirit, and in the sight of the 'Tongtian Talisman', it really possessed the energy of the wood spirit.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye. Wang Ping's eyes flashed with golden light, and the "Heavenly Eye" between his eyebrows opened and closed. Then a light screen popped up:

[Time Array: The ancient natural life observed the law of time jumping in the endless time, so it tried to capture time and incorporate it into its own consciousness, and it succeeded. ]

[1. Build a magic array that uses wood spirits to record the movement of things. The stability of the magic array diagram needs to be above (99/100). Current stability: no reference.]

[2. Based on the magic circle diagram that records the movement of things, build a confinement magic circle, and use the natural characteristics given by the wood spirit to confine the recorded things. The stability of the magic circle needs to be (100/100).]

[3. You need to combine these two array diagrams using the Spirit Gathering Array, make necessary adjustments based on the differences in the objects you observe, and connect all the adjusted arrays together.]

[4. A single magic array can only confine a space of two meters in length and width. If you need to confine a wider space, you need to repeatedly construct different magic arrays and stack them together.]

[5. If you want to inject this into a living being, you must also implant an elemental life that can be promoted into the core of the array, and you must also construct an extended array based on the level of the elemental life's promotion.]

[Note 1: The diagram of the formation that records the movement of things is as follows...]

[Note 2, the diagram of the imprisonment array is as follows...]

[Note 3.1, there are trillions of things recorded in the known world, and there are conventional imprisonment arrays deduced. Their standard array diagrams are as follows...]

[Note 3.2, in general, you only need to construct the Five Elements Yin and Yang Confinement Array, and use the characteristics of the Five Elements Yin and Yang to confine their operating rules.]

[Note 4, when combining magic arrays, you must ensure that the arrays are stable. After completing each combination of magic arrays, it is best to test the stability of the arrays first, otherwise years of hard work will be destroyed.]

[Note 5, there are specifications of the extended array diagram, and their standard diagrams are as follows...]

【Note 6, the power of 'time' and 'space' is greatest when used together.】

The light screen panel recorded a lot of information this time, especially the confinement array and the expansion array, so much so that even with Wang Ping's cultivation level, it took him more than ten breaths to memorize them all.

This knowledge is a good thing, but unfortunately, the current drawing of the magic array relies purely on manpower, and it is almost impossible to replicate it with such high precision. Even with Wang Ping's cultivation, it will take at least several years to make a basic magic array. If it is to the scale of the Star God Core in his hand, it will take thousands of years.

After reading the contents on the light screen panel, the first thing that came to Wang Ping's mind was an extremely prosperous immortal cultivation civilization. Then he saw a huge magic array where countless puppets were producing such star god cores in batches.

If this world wants to reach such a highly civilized world of cultivation, it must first get out of this narrow starry sky. To get out of this narrow starry sky, it must first cultivate to the fifth realm, or even the legendary sixth realm.

There is still a long way to go!
"I don't know if I can hold on." Wang Ping whispered to himself, looking at the old locust tree standing quietly beside him, wondering if Yao Xi might have been in despair because he had no future?
"what happened to you?"

Yu Lian, who was playing with the calico cat, sensed Wang Ping's change in mood and turned her head to look at Wang Ping.

Wang Ping smiled and said that he was fine. He then took out the communication token and contacted Zhigong Taoist and Rongyang Mansion Lord. He also asked Hu Qianqian and Liu Shuang to pick some wild fruits from the nearby mountains and forests and bring them up.

Almost at the moment Wang Ping sent the message, Rong Yang appeared above the dojo on the top of the mountain. After landing, he asked Wang Ping for some wine. After drinking a jar of wine, Zhi Gongdao appeared outside Qianmu Temple. Wang Ping asked Liu Shuang to go and greet him.

When the Taoist with the bow landed in front of the old locust tree, Hu Qianqian and her apprentice had placed fresh fruits around the coffee table. There was also a pile of unopened good wine beside the path. Rong Yang was lying on the ground drinking in a very ungraceful manner, and talked about past events with Wang Ping from time to time.

"Qianqian, I haven't heard the sound of the piano for a long time. Let's play a song that makes people happy."

Wang Ping signaled to Qianqian to leave.

Hu Qianqian's furry tail swayed back and forth as she said, "Yes, Master."

The sound of the piano soon began to sound, this time accompanied by the sound of Liu Shuang's flute.

Zhigong was a little uncomfortable at first, but seeing that Wang Ping and Rongyang were very casual, he gradually relaxed his mind and chatted with them from time to time. When most of the wine on the side of the path was drunk, the sky gradually darkened. Wang Ping asked his two disciples to put down another coffee table next to him to play chess with Zhigong. When the game was in the middle, Wang Ping mentioned the main purpose of looking for them this time: "I need enough wood spirit aura to advance to the fifth realm, and the people need enough wood to live. Their felling will affect the stability of the wood spirit."

Zhi Gong understood Wang Ping's idea after hearing this and asked, "Do you want to use the power of the earth veins to refine more coal? But this requires more wood and vegetation."

Wang Ping replied: "The wood and vegetation are provided by Qianmu Temple!"

Zhigong said: "That's no problem."

Wang Ping placed a chess piece and looked at Rong Yang.

Without waiting for Wang Ping to ask, Rong Yang said, "The True Yang Sect has always had the practice of making fire spirit arrays and giving them to believers. We can gather some Qigong practitioners to make them, but this kind of thing is sometimes more destructive than the 'power pill' you made. Once used in other places, it can burn down a city in an instant."

Wang Ping thought for a moment and said, "We can make a stove so that the Fire Spirit Array can only burn on the stove, and use it to keep people warm in winter. This way we can save a lot of wood."

Rong Yang thought for a moment and said, "This is easy. I will pass this matter on when I return. I can make a promise that within sixty years at most, the entire Northern Province will be covered with forests."

Yu Lian said beside him, "A forest in the snow should be nice, right?"

Rong Yang knew what Yu Lian wanted to say, and replied: "There is a special tree in the land of Beizhou. They call it the winter tree. Not only can it survive in the cold winter, but it can also produce wood spirit energy on its own."

"I will let the disciples of Taiyan Sect assist you."

Wang Ping did not reject Rong Yang's suggestion. He then looked at the bow, stretched out his hand and lightly tapped it. Suddenly, a gentle wood spirit energy emerged and gathered into a map of Zhongzhou and Xizhou.

In the following time, Wang Ping and Zhi Gong were discussing where to bury the coal resources. As for how to promote it, it was up to the disciples below to worry about it. Wang Ping only needed a result.

A night passed like this, and at noon the next day, Wang Ping and Zhi Gong finally reached an agreement, and then contacted Zi Luan to handle the specific matters. Zhi Gong also left at this time, and she said that she would personally supervise the matter.

Rong Yang drank up all the wine piled on the side of the path. After Zhi Gong left, he warned: "You have already won the battle, don't lose the big picture for the sake of small things!"

Wang Ping heard this and asked, "Could you please explain it clearly, fellow Taoist?"

Rong Yang thought for a while, as if he was organizing his words. After more than ten breaths, he said, "I know you have a lot of ideas, and I had the same idea before. But don't reveal your ideas until the last step. Just like the fuel this time, don't you know its benefits? Don't forget that you also practiced the Xuanmen Zhengfa, and you must have those ancient memories."

"I bet they are afraid, afraid of repeating the disaster of ancient civilizations, and you can't act differently from them."

Wang Ping nodded silently, then bowed his hands, but said nothing.

Rong Yang did not continue the topic, and bowed to Wang Ping and said, "Once the disciples of Taiyan Sect arrive, we will do what we agreed to do immediately."

"Thank you!"

As soon as Wang Ping finished his words of thanks, Rong Yang turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky. Feeling the remaining heat of the fire spirit in the air, he asked, "Do my ideas stand out?"

Yu Lian, who was playing with the calico cat, turned to look at Wang Ping and tilted her head and said, "It's not obvious. Sometimes I can't guess what you're thinking. I don't think you should be so suspicious just because of Rong Yang's words."

Wang Ping nodded. To accomplish something, the most taboo thing is to let others know your purpose, not to mention that in the cultivation world, the average IQ is relatively high, and some have lived for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

"Meow~"

The calico cat suddenly cried out.

Yu Lian translated for Wang Ping: "She said that with so many puppets, it is easy to know your image in the hearts of the people and monks. Why bother yourself with such a thing?"

Wang Ping laughed out loud. He didn't care what the common people and the lower-level cultivators thought of him. What he cared about was the true attitude of the True Lords. But there was no point in thinking too much about such things. After thinking for a while, he used his cultivation to forcibly suppress his chaotic emotions.

...

Another half month passed.

The follow-up impact of the Ao Yi incident has gradually weakened, and Wang Ping's plan is also progressing step by step. The most discussed topic in the cultivation world right now is naturally the Dharma Assembly to be held in October.

During this time, Zi Luan and the other monks from the Diku Gate selected the Yang family from Beiyuan Road as the heirs to the divine weapon of the next era. This family also had the blood of the Yang family from Yongshan County and the Wang Ping family. They were a branch of the Yang family from Yongshan County that moved out after the destruction of Zhongzhou.

Wang Ping personally used a puppet to investigate the Yang family. It turned out that the ancestor they worshipped was Wang Ping himself, and then his nearly forgotten nephew Yang Hou, who was the direct disciple of his fellow apprentice Zhao Qing.

The Zhao family and the Yang family were once Wang Ping's proud assistants on his path to cultivation, but no one of them could be promoted to the third level of Xuanmen cultivator. After Wang Ping was promoted to the fourth level, the descendants of these two families could not even see him.

On the second day after Wang Ping decided that this family would be in charge of the next divine weapon in Zhongzhou, Quan Wen suddenly came to visit him with You Han.

When the two of them landed on the path in front of the old locust tree under the guidance of Hu Qianqian, Quan Wen knocked his head with his fists, then bowed and said, "Greetings, Lord!"

You Han gave a standard Taoist fist-clasping salute with a humble look on his face.

Wang Ping casually bowed in return after the two of them saluted. When he asked them to sit down, he asked, "You two must have something important to tell me, right?"

Neither of them actually went to sit down. You Han took a step forward and bowed, saying, "I am here on behalf of the Star God Alliance to ask you a favor."

The rain lotus sleeping on the branch opened her eyes and stared at the two visitors, while the calico cat kicked its ears with its hind legs and went back to sleep.

Wang Ping stretched out his left hand and casually deduced, with just the right amount of doubt on his face, and said with a smile: "Let's talk about the matter first. If I have the ability, I will definitely not shirk it. Otherwise, I can only say sorry."

You Han smiled and whispered, "Taoist Lin Shuang has joined our Star God Alliance. She will spend the rest of her life in the border outside the domain. I hope that the Lord of the Mansion can let her go this time. For this, our Star God Alliance is willing to give her a big gift!"
