There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

After Wang Ping finished speaking, his consciousness descended into the distant starry sky through the transfer array. Yu Lian was connected to Wang Ping's soul, so his consciousness naturally followed Wang Ping through the starry sky.

Under the silent starry sky, a soft white light streaked across the black and white space like a meteor. When the white light was projected onto Wang Ping's clone, Wang Ping's consciousness felt a little bit of warmth.

"Is that the prototype of the kingdom of God?" Yu Lian's voice rang out in the spiritual sea.

However, it was seen that the true spirit with the 'Heaven-Covering Talisman' attached to it was now surrounded by countless spiritual creatures, who followed the true spirit madly, and their cheerful mood could even affect Wang Ping.

Their crazy worship generated a large amount of spiritual faith, forming a prototype of a kingdom of God in the space where the true spirit existed. It can only be said that they are truly worthy of being Tai Yan monks. Even if they lose consciousness, their instinct will still bewitch other creatures.

The true spirit soon discovered the existence of Wang Ping's clone, and a ray of spiritual light suddenly emerged from under the feet of Wang Ping's clone, but Wang Ping's clone had already moved away. But as soon as he stabilized his body, dense spiritual creatures appeared out of thin air beside him and detonated the spiritual energy in their bodies.

The psychic impact formed countless energy vortices in the inspirational consciousness and stimulated Wang Ping's consciousness.

"It's still a bit of a trick."

Wang Ping made his evaluation. His consciousness remained completely motionless under the impact of the psychic energy. He stretched out his left hand and lightly tapped. An endless transfer space was formed instantly.

The next moment, the true spirit let out a strange cry, as if it sensed the danger and wanted to escape, but it was too late. When its cry just spread through the spiritual energy of the starry sky, its figure disappeared out of thin air and appeared again ten feet in front of Wang Ping.

The spiritual creatures that followed it reacted faster than Wang Ping had imagined, because they had no extra emotions and their thoughts were not swayed by fear and shock. However, when they rushed towards Wang Ping through space, they were contaminated by the toxins generated by the wood spirit and melted into nothingness in the blink of an eye.

But they still continued to come forward, trying to break through the pollution of the wood spirit toxin like moths to a flame. Wang Ping ignored these stupid guys and focused his attention entirely on the true spirit. He observed that the 'Heaven-Covering Talisman' in its body was still intact, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The true spirit wanted to resist, and even wanted to use the "Heaven-Covering Talisman" to distort Wang Ping's consciousness, but all of this was clearly visible to Wang Ping, and he wiped out the true spirit's thoughts of resistance with just one thought. Just when the true spirit was confused, a wood spirit sealing formation appeared under its feet, and the moment the true spirit was sealed, it was framed by a special storage bag that had been prepared in advance.

Yu Lian, who witnessed all this, couldn't help but say, "As expected, when you have reached a certain level of cultivation, many things will become simple."

When Wang Ping's consciousness returned to his body, the storage bag containing his true spirit also returned to his hand through the transfer array. When he heard Yu Lian's words, he held the storage bag in one hand and gently stroked Yu Lian's head with the other hand, "When I reach the fifth level, I will help you solve the problem of insufficient spiritual energy."

"It's okay. I'm not in a hurry. As long as you advance to the fifth realm, I can absorb the spiritual energy emanating from you and cultivate to the fourth realm."

Yu Lian was very relaxed. She wrapped her arms around Wang Ping's wrist and climbed onto his shoulder, lying down.

Wang Ping took the clone with a smile, and after checking that there was no problem, he placed it in the front hall of Taiyan Sect in the ecological zone built by Quan Wen and Bu Qiong, replacing the golden statue for people to worship.

"Now it's time to check on Li Miaolin's condition and fulfill my promise to Taoist Chong Xing."

After Wang Ping finished speaking, he stood up. The magic map unfolded on the ground turned into golden light and disappeared. Then a transfer talisman unfolded beside him and he disappeared from the spot.

As the familiar feeling of weightlessness came, the black and white scene in front of him disappeared. As a soft ray of sunlight shone on his body, Wang Ping appeared above the Guizhen Hall of Taiyan Sect with Yu Lian.

The Taiyan sect disciples in the Guizhen Temple below were unaware of this, and Wang Ping did not disturb them. His soul quickly swept across the Taiyan Mountains and soon found Li Miaolin sitting in meditation in the mountains. He had washed away the evil spirit on his body, and the madness in his consciousness had been suppressed. As he had been hiding himself for all these years, the record of him by the Heavenly Dao was also weakening.

The key is that his soul strength is very stable, and has reached the limit of the third realm, which is only a step away from the fourth realm soul strength.

"Li Miaolin is indeed used to seeing the ugliness of the world. He adjusted himself so quickly. It's as if his consciousness was forcibly changed by someone, but there is no trace of the change."

Yu Lian made her comment.

Wang Ping also praised: "Fellow Daoist Chongxing is better at teaching disciples than I am."

Yu Lian disagreed and retorted, "Li Miaolin is just a survivor of Chongxing's plan. In order to train Li Miaolin, Chongxing has ruined countless disciples and caused countless deaths."

"It's the same with everything in this world. You can only gain something if you give."

As Wang Ping was speaking, he brought Yu Lian to the high platform in front of Guizhen Hall. The Taiyan sect disciples who were guarding nearby looked over but had no reaction, because they could not remember the existence of Wang Ping and Yu Lian at all. When Wang Ping walked into the hall, he sent a message to Li Miaolin, asking him to come to the hall.

Afterwards, Wang Ping walked to the altar in the main hall, picked up three incense sticks, lit them and inserted them into the incense burner. As the incense flames slowly rose, he sat cross-legged on a cushion in front of the incense table and meditated.

After waiting for nearly a quarter of an hour, Li Miaolin finally entered the main hall. When he saw Wang Ping sitting cross-legged on a cushion, he quickly took two steps forward to pay his respects. His expression showed a bit of eagerness and expectation. This was the patience he had developed after years of meditation. If it were in the past, he would have been extremely impatient.

"patience!"

Wang Ping opened his eyes and warned.

Li Miaolin subconsciously tried to suppress the anxiety in his heart, but failed after several attempts.

Wang Ping closed his eyes and continued to meditate. Seeing this, Li Miaolin had no choice but to sit cross-legged on the spot to sort out his emotions. It was not until half an hour later that his emotions began to stabilize.

"How do you plan to advance to the fourth level?" Wang Ping suddenly asked.

Li Miaolin opened his eyes upon hearing that. Although he was still a little excited, he was able to remain calm. After thinking for a few breaths, he said, "When my master taught me puppetry, he said that this spell could help me plan for the fourth realm, so I plan to use puppetry to try to draw the opportunity of the 'Heaven Covering Talisman'. If it doesn't work, I'll think of other things."

Wang Ping shook his head and said, "Your puppetry is too lethal and not suitable for entering the prosperous world. Is there any other way?"

Li Miaolin clasped his fists with an awkward expression and said, "So I can only use the conventional method to calculate the slightest chance of promotion with the Heaven and Earth Qi Array."

After Li Miaolin finished speaking, Wang Ping looked at him seriously. Seeing that he really didn't know about the legacy left by Chongxing Taoist, Wang Ping said, "A decade ago, I said that you would inherit Chongxing Taoist's name. What I didn't tell you was that he also left his own 'Heaven Covering Talisman' and specifically asked you to try to integrate it. I think with Chongxing Taoist's wisdom, it must be his idea to do so. Do you want to try?"

He wanted to bring out a fourth-level cultivator as soon as possible to serve as the face of Taiyan Sect. Letting Li Miaolin integrate the 'Heaven-Covering Talisman' left by Taoist Chongxing was undoubtedly the fastest way, but all this depended on Li Miaolin's own willingness.

"Since it is the last words left by the master, I am willing to try it." Li Miaolin did not hesitate at all. Wang Ping showed a satisfied smile, stood up from the mat and said, "Then you can follow me."

"Yes!"

Li Miaolin stood up and bowed. When he bowed, he felt a sense of weightlessness. When he raised his eyelids, he saw a small courtyard. There was a slight sound of flowing water in his ears, and above his head was the starry sky with black and white lights.

He has appeared in Wang Ping's retreat in outer space.

"You will fuse the 'Heaven Covering Talisman' here. The spirit gathering array I have set up in this starry sky is enough to fuse the wood spirit energy needed for the 'Heaven Covering Talisman'."

As Wang Ping spoke, he stretched out his left hand and pointed lightly at the edge of the stream. A formation eye connected to the outer space spirit gathering formation appeared. "Go over and sit down in meditation. I will help you block the secrets of the sky."

Li Miaolin first saluted respectfully with his fists clasped, then flew up and landed at the center of the formation and sat cross-legged.

Then Wang Ping said, "Your mood has become unstable. Adjust your mood first before talking about other things."

Li Miaolin bowed and nodded, saying "yes". He also knew that it was not suitable to fuse the 'Heaven-Covering Talisman' at this moment, because his mood was indeed a little too excited by the sudden good thing.

Wang Ping ignored Li Miaolin who was meditating in silence. Part of his consciousness descended upon the puppet in the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain. In an instant, every blade of grass and every tree in the mountains of Qianmu Temple was imprinted in his mind. He soon caught sight of Shen Xiaozhu, Xuan Ling and Xia Wenyi, who were paying homage to the ancestors in the front hall.

Shen Xiaozhu was busy with worldly affairs in Xizhou before, but the fusion of the 'Tongtian Talisman' had to be completed within the specified time, so she did not dare to start fusing the 'Tongtian Talisman' rashly. This made her cultivation level remain at the early stage of the third realm. Now, with the help of Wang Ping, she not only completely fused the 'Tongtian Talisman' within a decade, but also strengthened her soul with the help of the magic circle. She only needs to use the spiritual energy condensation as soon as possible to make her soul soar into the sky.

As for the next step of cultivating the Qi Sea inside the soul, with Shen Xiaozhu's current soul strength, it will take less than ten years to succeed. As for the next step of observing the heavens, the earth and the universe, it should not be difficult with her understanding, and it will not take more than fifty years to enter the realm of 'nothingness'.

As long as she enters the realm of 'nothingness', the next step is to strengthen her primordial spirit and then assimilate her physical body into a wood spirit. This will not be too difficult for Xiao Zhu, so she will be able to reach the perfection of the three realms in two hundred years at most.

Looking at Xuan Ling and Xia Wenyi, they were both extremely talented and had already achieved the realm of 'nothingness'. Now with the help of the magic circle, they have cultivated their spirits to be almost the same as Zi Luan and Que Cai, and can plan for the fourth realm at any time.

However, the characters of the two still need to be polished, otherwise they will end up like Ao Bing in the future. Wang Ping plans to give priority to Zi Luan and Que Cai for the remaining four realms, and before that he needs to be promoted to the fifth realm.

"Xiao Zhu is in good condition. Although her cultivation is not as fast as her two junior brothers, let alone catching up with you, she needs to proceed step by step. After hundreds of years of experience in Xizhou, she has seen the basic rules of the cultivation world. Even without our help in the future, she can still walk this path well."

Yu Lian said in Wang Ping's spiritual sea.

Wang Ping did not disturb them. While Yu Lian was communicating with him, his consciousness left the puppet. He looked at Li Miaolin who was in a trance in the distance and changed the subject, "How long do you think it will take him to adjust?"

Yu Lian tilted her head, thought for a moment, and replied, "About a year."

In fact, it took Li Miaolin a little more than three years. Adjusting emotions seems simple, but practice requires consistency in words, actions, body and mind, rather than simply suppressing emotions.

Li Miaolin was able to adjust his condition within three years, thanks to his sixty years of meditation.

Yu Lian repeatedly confirmed that Li Miaolin had adjusted his condition before Wang Ping landed beside him. After a brief exchange with him, he used the 'Sky Covering Talisman' to cover the starry sky.

Then, under the gaze of Li Miaolin, he released the true spirit sealed in the storage bag.

"Yeah~"

The true spirit let out a strange cry.

When Li Miaolin saw the True Spirit, he immediately understood what it represented. He was in a trance for a moment, and then he heard Wang Ping scolding him: "Calm down, I will help you suppress the breath of the True Spirit, and you use your own spiritual veins and soul to refine the 'Heaven Covering Talisman' to find an opportunity for fusion, understand?"

"Yes, I understand!"

Li Miaolin's mind was clear at the moment, and he adjusted his emotions in an instant.

"Don't be too nervous. Just like when you refined the 'Heaven-reaching Talisman', your current level of cultivation is not enough to forcibly refine this 'Heaven-covering Talisman'. You just need to make this 'Heaven-covering Talisman' fit with your soul, and you will naturally know what to do next."

Wang Ping gave another instruction, and after Li Miaolin agreed, he used the surging wood spirit aura to forcibly suppress the true spirit consciousness.

Li Miaolin did not dare to be negligent. His own soul appeared above his head. He used the spiritual veins of his physical body to mobilize the wood spirit aura and approach the 'Heaven-Covering Talisman' in his true spirit body, assimilating it with his own wood spirit aura.

The consciousness of the True Spirit was completely suppressed by Wang Ping at this moment, and it was unaware of Li Miaolin's actions. The moment Li Miaolin's wood spirit aura came into contact with the 'Heaven-Covering Talisman', the 'Heaven-Covering Talisman' actually left the True Spirit's body directly, and along with the wood spirit aura exerted by Li Miaolin, it instantly merged with Li Miaolin's soul.

At this moment, Wang Ping sensed the Four Realms Wood Spirit aura that flashed by the core of Li Miaolin's spiritual vein and merged with the 'Heaven-Covering Talisman'. This was probably Taoist Chongxing's back-up plan.

Wang Ping couldn't help but chuckle. A surging wood spirit carrying corrosive toxins devoured the true spirit, clearing out a spot for the fourth realm.

Li Miaolin's consciousness has sunk at this moment. He should be digesting the memory of the 'Heaven-Covering Talisman'. Two hours later, the wood spirit veins in his body began to breed the wood spirit according to the memories he had obtained.

"Is this successful?"

Yu Lian looked incredulous. She tilted her head and looked at Wang Ping. "Back then, you spent countless resources to build up the Qiyun array and calculated for so many years before you got the answer. He succeeded just like that? He is so lucky!"

No matter who you are, you will be jealous of other people's good luck. This is human nature.

Wang Ping chuckled again, and then responded: "Li Miaolin's fate is not good. His cultivation path and his life before cultivation were both miserable. This can be considered a happy ending after all the hardships." (End of this chapter)
