There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 915: Insiders and Outsiders
Wang Ping didn't know who Zang Yi was, but he knew who Yue Xi was. She was the moon goddess worshipped by the Eastern Alliance of Dongzhou. Her disciples and believers were as low-key as she was and rarely left the territory of the Eastern Alliance. It was also very difficult for others to preach in the Eastern Alliance.

Yuanwu had mentioned this matter just now, and when he brought it up again, the expressions of the others were the same as before, without any surprise or astonishment, which means that Yuanwu had mentioned this matter more than once.

Lieyang stared at Yuanwu and asked seriously, "Are you sure?"

Yuan Wu bowed and said, "I have done everything I can. Whether it is human cultivators, demon cultivators, or so-called evil cultivators, the reason why there are irreconcilable conflicts is that this world is too small. Only by opening up more starry skies can we alleviate the current conflicts."

After hearing these words, Wang Ping couldn't help but take a serious look at Yuan Wu. As expected, he was the True Lord Yuan Wu who had the most followers. He always considered the entire civilized world. However, it was also possible that his thoughts were influenced by his followers.

Yu Lian sensed Wang Ping's thoughts and said in the spiritual sea: "This should be Yuan Wu's ambition at the beginning of his practice. However, as his magic skills progressed, it was infinitely magnified by his followers. We should also pay attention to it. After all, this change is silent and even we ourselves cannot detect it."

Wang Ping separated his thoughts and maintained the seriousness of the meeting while communicating with Yu Lian: "We can imprint our thoughts into the Kingdom of God every few decades, and then sort them out regularly."

"good idea!"

When Yu Lian responded, Lie Yang suddenly looked over and said to Wang Ping, "The person you recommended should be reported to Chang Qing. You also need to complete the handover anyway."

Yuan Wu nodded and said, "Okay!"

After he said this, he felt relieved, and then he was full of expectations for the future. He looked at Xing Meng unconsciously, then looked at Wang Pingyan and said, "I'll contact you after the meeting."

Wang Ping was not arrogant, and he clasped his fists formally and said, "I will certainly be waiting for you, Senior."

Tian Gong took the opportunity to say, "Let's take care of Huishan first, and then help you open up a passage to the outer space." After he finished speaking, a bright and kind smile appeared on his face, "I hope those guys with ulterior motives will show up. My Buddha hasn't revealed his Vajra Dharmakaya for a long time."

Lieyang nodded and said, "Let's do it." He stared at Yuanwu and said, "When Changqing was promoted, the Star God Alliance sent several fifth-level people to test us. Don't be soft-hearted this time."

Xing Meng said on behalf of Yuan Wu: "It's not that we are soft-hearted, but the power within the Star God Alliance is indeed strong now. We found out some time ago that they seem to have borrowed the power of extraterritorial life. If we really fight, we may not be able to gain the upper hand."

The Bull Demon Niu Pan bowed to Lieyang, Tiangong, and Wang Ping and said, "You three should be careful. Your safety now determines whether the order of this starry sky can continue to be maintained."

"It's not wrong to be cautious."

Yuan Wu also bowed to Lieyang and warned him.

Lieyang nodded, but did not continue to dwell on this topic. He looked at Tiangong and then said, "Let's end this meeting like this for now."

Upon hearing this, the three demon cultivators immediately stood up, clasped their fists, bowed, and left. Then Yuanwu and Xingmeng bowed silently and disappeared.

When Wang Ping was about to leave, Lieyang said, "Changqing, wait a moment."

After he finished speaking, he took out a token and made a gesture. The projection space suddenly dimmed a lot and the surrounding environment changed rapidly, turning into a typical reception room. There was no golden statue of a saint and there were only seven cushions.

As the environment changed, a figure appeared in the position that was originally vacant by Master Bai Yan. He was tall and strong, sitting cross-legged on a cushion like a small mountain. He was wearing gray-black armor, and his hair had a hint of red, tied together with a bone ring. He had no beard and looked very cold, the kind of rational coldness.

Lieyang's expression was no longer as arrogant as before. He looked at Wang Ping and pointed at the extra person, introducing him, "This is Daoist Fellow Bai Yan."

Wang Ping immediately clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Senior Bai Yan."

Bai Yan looked at Wang Ping coldly and said, "You and I can just call each other fellow Taoists."

As soon as he finished speaking, before Wang Ping could say anything, a figure appeared in the seat above him. That was the seat of True Lord Xuanqing. The person who appeared was wearing a loose white cotton coat, had a long beard, a pair of bright eyes, and his long black hair was tied together with a long crown.

Lieyang introduced Wang Ping again: "This is Fellow Daoist Xuanqing."

Wang Ping clasped his fists and bowed. Just as he was about to speak, Xuan Qing spoke first, "Let me make it short. It's not easy for me to maintain this state." After that, he clasped his hands to Wang Ping and said, "I am Xuan Qing, a great honor to meet you, fellow Taoist."

Seeing this scene, Yu Lian instinctively complained in her soul sea: "I knew it, how could an old guy who has lived for tens of thousands of years be so arrogant? It turns out he was just acting."

Wang Ping's eyes involuntarily looked towards the seat of the Dragon King. According to the intelligence obtained before, although the Dragon King's condition had some problems, it was not so bad that he had no chance to move. Therefore, if the seven True Lords of Xuanmen and Tianmen really wanted to go out, they could still gather six of them, not just the three of them.

Lieyang may have noticed Wang Ping's gaze, and said with a smile: "Long Jun usually won't move, and he and I had some unpleasantness some time ago, but if something really happens, he will definitely not stand idly by."

"Just 'a little unpleasant'?"

Tian Gong restrained his smile, showing a look of dissatisfaction, and then looked at Xuan Qing, "The last game is not over yet, let's continue when we have time."

Lieyang smiled and said, "We are not interested in worldly affairs now. You can play however you want in the future. Don't dwell on the past."

Tian Gong said, "Without you as opponents, what's the point of me being alone?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at Wang Ping. Just as he was about to speak, Bai Yan said, "Let's talk about business. You can handle other matters privately."

As a newcomer to the party, Wang Ping could only observe and listen quietly. The conversation between the few people made him think of many things, and at this moment he felt their humanity, rather than the false masks they wore in the meeting just now.

But is everything they are showing now true?

Wang Ping's eyes involuntarily turned to Xuan Qing and Lie Yang. As far as the current situation was concerned, these two could barely be considered allies, while the other two were a question mark. However, they had a common interest, and under this common interest, they could be considered a whole.

And this gathering exists for their common benefit!
Lieyang had no intention of introducing this gathering to Wang Ping. At Bai Yan's urging, he said directly, "There are two things this time." "The first thing is the issue of clearing Huishan's consciousness. The Star God Alliance has been eyeing this matter for a long time. They failed to stop Changqing before, so they will definitely continue to target us!"

"It has been decided just now that fellow Daoist Tiangong, Daoist Changqing and I will go and attract the main force of the Star God Alliance. They will definitely send people to destroy our Taoist tradition on Zhongzhou Star. The Five Realms Star Gods headed by Yuanwu and Xingmeng will monitor Zhongzhou Star. In addition, I will also let Wang Xian and the other two go. With them there, some people will be implicated."

"In this way, the ecological zone outside the border will be unavailable, and you two can do whatever you want. However, the border outside the border does have some uses, so don't destroy it too much!"

He said the last sentence while looking at Xuan Qing and Bai Yan.

Bai Yan nodded and replied, "This is easy to do, but we may not be able to take advantage of it. They have absorbed an unknown amount of energy from outside the domain over the past thousands of years. If they use the energy from outside the domain, we may not be able to suppress them easily."

Wang Ping might not have understood this sentence before, but now that he has been promoted to the fifth realm, he can immediately understand what it means. With the degree to which Xuanmen and Tianmen control the spiritual energy of this starry sky, any cultivator under this starry sky will be constrained by them, and suppressing them is as easy as drinking water.

But now that the fifth-level cultivators in the Star God Alliance have turned to cultivating extraterritorial energy, they no longer have the absolute advantage of suppression. In addition, some of the magic weapons they have refined with the Star God core are indeed very troublesome to deal with.

"Even if this is just a test, if we can keep one or two of them in the fifth realm alive, don't hold back. If things are impossible, stop immediately. We have enough time to deal with them."

Lieyang acted very cautiously, "Once we awaken fellow Daoist Diwen, we can use the rules of this starry sky to forcibly suppress them!"

Tian Gong agreed and said, "With Fellow Daoist Chang Qing here, we can come and go freely in this starry sky. Although it is a bit risky, it will not harm our foundation. Such a test is necessary. Otherwise, if we continue to let them develop, it will be really difficult to get rid of. Even if it destroys the order we have been maintaining, it is worth it."

Wang Ping had heard the two's arrogant response in the meeting just now, and he felt a little uneasy. Now, listening to their cautious words, he couldn't help but feel relieved, so he said, "I can use the transfer arrays in various places to build some transfer spaces. If it's really impossible, I can use these transfer spaces to evacuate. I can also cut off the transfer arrays in various places as soon as possible."

Bai Yan's eyes showed an expression of approval, so he cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll have to ask Daoist Changqing to make the arrangements first."

Wang Ping nodded.

"Okay, it's settled. Changqing will make the arrangements first, and we will meet near Jupiter after the arrangements are completed."

After Lieyang finished speaking about this matter, he showed a sense of relief and then talked about another matter, "The second matter is about the quota of four realms for each sect."

Tian Gong immediately refuted: "There is no need to discuss this matter anymore. Let's take care of our own business. We agreed on this last time."

Everyone was chatting happily just a moment ago, but now there was a tendency for them to quarrel. When Xuan Qing heard what Lieyang said, he cut off the projection signal without even saying hello.

After arguing for a while, Lieyang suddenly said to Bai Yan: "Did your disciple Lin Shuang successfully enter the Star God Alliance?"

Bai Yan responded coldly: "You are too impatient."

Wang Ping was slightly shaken when he heard the conversation between the two. Yu Lian sensed his emotional fluctuations and couldn't help but ask, "Is Lin Shuang the bait they deliberately released?"

"Probably not, at least not when Ao Yi was still around."

Wang Ping had his own ideas. He felt that it was very likely that Lin Shuang had found some way to regain Bai Yan's trust after Ao Yi's failure, but it would cost her some price.

From Bai Yan's indifferent attitude, it can be seen that he does not have too much hatred towards Lin Shuang. The other party may just be a tool for him to stabilize his spirituality. Lin Shuang has proved his worth, so he can continue to live.

They seem full of humanity on the surface, but they are terribly cold and indifferent!
The argument did not last long. The second thing Lieyang raised might have been just a joke. Bai Yan also cut off the projection signal shortly after Lieyang asked about Lin Shuang.

After another moment, Tian Gong left without saying goodbye.

Just as Wang Ping was about to say goodbye and leave, Lieyang suddenly said to him, "Do you know why I mentioned the four realms quota?"

"younger generation…"

"I've already told you not to call yourself a junior."

"... "

Wang Ping's tone stagnated. Although he had some guesses in his mind, he pretended to be puzzled and replied, "I don't know. I hope you can help me solve this puzzle."

Lieyang chuckled, as if mocking Wang Ping's cleverness, and continued: "We are discussing things here because no one else outside of Xuanmen and Tianmen is trustworthy. The demon tribe could be trusted before, but history has made them stand against us."

"I mentioned the matter of the four realms to explain to you that Xuanmen and Tianmen can trust each other when driven by common interests, but once we step out of our common interests, we basically can't agree. We have been like this for so many years, and we are about to forget what we came together for."

Lieyang lowered his head and thought, "We almost destroyed Zhongzhou Star, which led to the establishment of Daozang Hall. We had a lot of ideas at the beginning and tried to break through the constraints of this starry sky. We did a lot of things for this, but in the end we couldn't stop the erosion of time."

He looked up at Wang Ping and said, "You will slowly learn about some things. I won't go into too much detail here..." He stopped talking abruptly and changed the subject, "Yuanwu will most likely contact you soon. He is a man with ideals, although most of his ideals are controlled by his followers."

"People like this are perfect allies when things are normal. They abide by the rules and never take the initiative to cause trouble. But once there is a problem with their thinking, it will be a problem."

"He is very smart. He chose to leave at this time. I admire his courage. If he has anything to ask of you, please do your best to handle it. This is the cause and effect between you and him."

Wang Ping nodded, thought for a moment and asked, "From what I just heard from you guys, it seems that in addition to those crazy energies, there are also conscious life forms outside the domain?"

This was not a conjecture that Wang Ping had just come up with. When he used the "Eye of the Sky" to read the past of the starry sea, he discovered that under the chaotic and vast starry sky, there were some life forms with basic consciousness who knew how to seek good fortune and avoid danger.
