There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

The passion and noise are always short-lived.

Hundreds of thousands of monks followed the flying boats into the deep space channel, and the originally brilliant starry sky gradually became silent.

At the same time, the golden spirit formation that monitored the starry sky was gradually receding. Looking around, it seemed as if a golden tide was rising and falling and disappearing, or like a grand fireworks show coming to an end, leaving only deep darkness and silence.

Wang Ping stood in the void and looked around.

The golden platform was now suspended alone in the starry sky, with the faint light of the distant stars reflected on the platform, emitting a cold metallic color. Near it, there was only a giant flying boat and a large flying boat parked together.

The giant flying boat was glowing with golden light, and the hull was carved with intricate golden spirit arrays. Every line on it flowed slightly like a living thing, exuding an indestructible and heavy aura. This must be the work of the Vajra Temple, and only they could use the golden spirit array to such an extreme.

The other large flying boat was completely different. It was shrouded in a soft green halo, and the water particles flowed like mist under the reflection of the starlight, light and agile. Wang Ping glanced over and immediately saw that all the structures of this flying boat were serving the speed, and even the attack array was very few.

"Linshuifu's masterpiece..."

He knew it.

This is a purely logistical flying boat, specially built for logistics coordination on the battlefield.

Just as Wang Ping was observing, a figure rose up from the flying boat and landed three feet away from him in an instant.

"Master!"

It's Yang Rong.

She performed the ceremony properly, not at all as erratic as she did in her own dojo.

Wang Ping was not surprised by her appearance. With his current level of spiritual cultivation, except for Venus, everything else in this starry sky was as easy to see as looking at the patterns in the palm of his hand. There were no secrets at all.

When Yu Lian saw Yang Rong, she immediately jumped for joy. She circled around Wang Ping and said with a smile, "I heard from your master that you also came with the army. I said that if those people had eyes, they would definitely make good arrangements for you."

She said this so bluntly that Yang Rong didn't know how to respond and could only smile.

Wang Ping glanced at Master Tiangong who was still silent beside him, and said to Yang Rong calmly: "Go and do your thing. I will call you if there is anything."

Yang Rong responded respectfully and turned to leave.

The logistics hub of a large army is usually located in the same place as the supreme commander, especially in a space war of this scale. Those people had obviously put a lot of thought into arranging for Yang Rong to come here.

After Yang Rong walked away, Master Tiangong suddenly laughed, and the solemn and precious appearance on his body was like melting ice and snow. The mysterious light disappeared, and he turned into an ordinary monk.

"I built this flying boat myself when I had nothing to do." He pointed at the giant flying boat, with a complacent tone, "Compared to the other two flying boats, it's faster. If the core magic array is driven at full power, it can even tear through space and return to the teleportation area near Venus that I set up in advance."

At this point, he changed his tone and said, "Of course, compared to your transfer talisman, this method is just a minor one. The key is to be able to guide multiple people to travel through space together. If you really encounter an accident... try to bring as many people back as possible."

The 'other two flying boats' he mentioned were recorded in the Dao Palace archives. They could travel back and forth in this starry sky within a few years. They were important means of transportation to and from the outside world before the transfer array was built.

Wang Ping and Tian Gong looked at each other, showing just the right amount of surprise: "Master, do you think there will be an accident?"

Tian Gong shook his head: "I haven't figured out anything yet. I'm just doing this to be on the safe side. God is ruthless, so it's never wrong to be cautious."

Wang Ping agreed and nodded, "I will act with caution."

Tian Gong said no more and personally led Wang Ping onto the giant flying boat.

The flying boat was empty. According to Tian Gong, Wang Ping had to arrange the manpower himself. It would be inconvenient for him to do it. This was exactly what Wang Ping wanted. It must be said that the monk had a very accurate grasp of people's hearts.

When we reached the core of the flying boat, we saw an independent communication device standing quietly next to the spirit gathering array, and it had already been debugged.

“This thing exists independently.”

Tian Gong explained, "All cultivators above the fourth realm in the army can directly contact you through it. The other fellow Taoists can also use it to observe the situation on the front line in real time."

Wang Ping didn't mind. If he were in the other person's shoes, he would make the same arrangement.

The two chatted for a while and then Tian Gong said goodbye.

"The outsiders may seem insignificant, but fellow Taoists, do not underestimate them." He warned solemnly before leaving, "If you encounter a strong enemy, retreat if you are defeated. They cannot penetrate deep into this starry sky."

Other True Lords had already emphasized this matter, and now when Wang Ping heard Tian Gong mention it again, he couldn't help but feel curious, what exactly are those extraterritorial lives like?
Yu Lian sneered in the sea of ​​spirits: "Bah! Is this the True Lord that the world admires? He only knows how to avoid trouble!"

Wang Ping could understand them. They were responsible for the peace of the starry sky. They had too many things to worry about, and in many things, they first considered safety rather than being aggressive and competitive.

After Tiangong left, Wang Ping's soul swept over every magic rune carved on the flying boat, and then he used the 'Golden Ball' to transfer some gold-cultivating puppets to his side to drive the flying boat.

In just a quarter of an hour, Wang Ping took control of the flying boat. He did not stop and after notifying Yang Rong who was traveling with him, he used the flying boat's own magic circle to open up an independent space channel and teleport to the set starry sky.

...

Demon star.

This place is very far away from the sun, and in between there is the orbital array set up by the planets where the True Lords are located. The temperature of the solar radiation is pitifully low.

However, there are six powerful fifth-level warriors in the demon clan here. Through the strict magic array they constructed, they gathered a lot of heat in the orbit of the demon star. They also used their great magic power to transform the demon star, making it a fertile ground for the reproduction of the demon clan.

At this moment, the camp built around the demon star has been completed. There are hundreds of ecological zones of various sizes. The barrier arrays of these ecological zones are like a string of crystal bubbles, arranged in a certain pattern under the starry sky, bringing a touch of warmth to the dark background of the universe.

There is no sunshine and peace under the barrier, only the most basic defense facilities and living areas. However, supplies do not need to be produced by themselves, but are supplied by the nearby Demon Star and Daluo Star.

There are several times more flying boats docked around these ecological zones than in the outer space of Venus. They are like schools of metal fish, quietly floating at the anchor points in the void around the ecological zones. Among them, the flying boats decorated with various patterns are the most numerous. They are the flying boats built by the demon clan. Some of them are heading out of the domain, dragging long spiritual tail flames, crossing the darkness like meteors; some are transporting supplies between the demon star and the Daluo star, shuttling back and forth on fixed routes.

Wang Ping's giant flying boat docked next to the only asteroid on the monster star. The surface of this grayish-white asteroid was covered with circular impact craters, and it maintained a stable orbit under the gravity of the monster star.

This asteroid is also called the Moon by the demon clan. There is a large ecological zone on it. Zhu Wu, Wang Xian, Niu Pan, Zang Yi and Yue Xi are stationed in this ecological zone, coordinating the mopping-up operations against the foreign rebels.

There have been small-scale skirmishes on the front lines, as the advance spies are testing each other. Occasionally, brief bursts of light appear in the distant void, which are the afterglow of spells released by the monks during the battle.

There are also some rebel spies coming from time to time near the front ecological zones. They drive reconnaissance instruments disguised as meteorites and approach silently in the darkness. Small-scale battles are naturally inevitable. The ripples that are occasionally stirred up by the spirit gathering array around the demon star are silently telling of these confrontations in the dark.

In the Demon Star Moon Ecological Zone.

Serving as the temporary command center for the army of monks, there is a hundred-meter-high tower built of huge stones. It is obviously newly built. The tower body is a rough grayish-white color, and there are traces of magic cutting on the surface.

Its biggest function is to dock various small flying boats. The platform on the top of the tower is wide and flat, and dozens of berths are filled with reconnaissance flying boats. They are like a group of falcons ready to take off, ready to rush into the dark void at any time.

On the top floor of the tower is where Zhu Wu, Zang Yi and others discuss the specifics of the war.

This circular conference hall is surrounded by transparent crystal walls, overlooking the entire ecological zone. A three-dimensional star map is suspended in the hall, marking the distribution of forces on both sides. The red spots represent the rebels, and the blue ones represent their own forces.

At this moment they were arguing over the primary target of the attack.

Zang Yi believed that they should take advantage of the rebels' failure to react and directly engage in a decisive battle with their main force outside the 'Outside Territory 42' ecological zone.

Zhu Wu and the other three demon tribes felt that the current enemy situation was unclear, and they should proceed steadily and erode the opposite ecological zone step by step. After all, this war might last for a thousand years, and they had enough time to mobilize all the resources of this starry sky, while the opposite side could only be exhausted.

The two sides were arguing over this.

At the critical moment, it was Yue Xi, who had remained silent, who suggested: "Master Changqing is right beside us, how about asking him for advice on this matter?"

Her voice was soft, but it temporarily stopped the debate.

Through the crystal wall, everyone could see the giant flying boat with Wang Ping in command in the distant void. At this moment, it was floating quietly like a sleeping beast.

Zhu Wu knew the temperaments of the True Lords very well. Since the True Lords had given the matter to them, they would definitely not interfere. However, in the face of Yue Xi's proposal, he smiled and said, "Then let's do it this way."

Wang Ping was not actually on the flying boat. After he arrived at the orbit of the demon star, he did not see anyone. He used his ability to hide well to create an independent transfer space under the quiet starry sky in the same domain.

In this space, he practiced while exploring the outer starry sky with the 'Golden Ball' and marked out the transfer networks of some major areas.

In addition, he had another most important reason here, which was to observe the teleportation network of the extraterritorial rebels. For the star war, the means of teleportation was the most important. In the past two days since he came here, he had already arranged some secret wood spirit talismans outside the orbit of the demon star.

These talismans floated in the void like dust, with spiritual energy fluctuations flowing on their surfaces that were exactly the same as the starry sky background. Now he planned to place some outside the domain.

In response to what Zhu Wu and others had submitted, his response was the same as Zhu Wu had guessed, and it could be summed up in five words: You decide for yourself!
The purpose of this war is to weaken the strength of the rebels, so that they cannot interfere in the affairs of Zhongzhou Star, and buy enough time for Xuanqing and Diwen. Only the True Lords know about this matter. What others see is that the True Lords want to wipe out the foreign rebels and stabilize the five elements of yin and yang spiritual energy.

"The spirituality here has been refined and is suitable for my practice." Yu Lian rode on auspicious clouds and flew in the transfer space. Her scales glowed with a faint blue luster under the faint light, and her vertical pupils stared at the invisible spirituality in the void.

Wang Ping immediately became interested and asked, "How do we refine it?" His voice spread along with the spiritual energy, and the surrounding wood spirit energy trembled slightly because of his words.

"I can build a water spirit formation myself, but it will consume some energy. The principle of the formation is to exchange spiritual energy for spiritual power." Yu Lian's tail swayed gently, drawing light blue tracks in the void. Those tracks stayed for a short time and then slowly dissipated.

"The wood spirit in my body possesses an endless supply of spiritual energy. You can connect with my soul and draw on the spiritual energy from my physical body's spiritual veins." Wang Ping stretched out his hand, and verdant wood spirit runes appeared on his palm. These runes moved under his skin like living things.

"That's exactly what I thought." Yu Lian nodded, and the scales on her forehead glowed slightly, resonating with the wood spirit energy in Wang Ping's palm.

After Yu Lian and Wang Ping finished their brief conversation, she started to get busy in the transfer space designated by Wang Ping. She knew that it was not appropriate to reveal her aura at this moment, so the magic circle she constructed was very small.

She first used the tip of her tail to draw a circular array on the ground with a diameter of less than three feet. The array lines were made up of fine gold powder, emitting a faint golden light in the darkness. The spiritual energy fluctuations caused were negligible for the border outside the domain. When the array was completed, the whole pattern rippled like the surface of water, and then returned to calm.

Wang Ping just watched quietly as Yu Lian set up the magic circle. The core of the magic circle was Yu Lian herself. She used the inner elixir in her body to attract the spirituality that had penetrated from outside the domain and had not yet been assimilated, and then refined it with enough water spirit energy.

This process caused fine water droplets to seep out from the gaps between her scales. These water droplets floated in the air, refracting the light of the magic circle.

This is a very wasteful process. The water spiritual energy consumed is several times the spiritual energy gained. The water spiritual energy around the magic circle is decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, while the spiritual energy gained is only a few strands of blue light.

But Yu Lian now needs to spiritually enhance her soul in order to reach the critical point for another evolution.

Compared to the extraterritorial star gods, Yu Lian extracts pure spirituality, while the extraterritorial star gods extract energy. Under the effect of the magic circle, two completely different energy forms can be seen:
One is the invisible breath of the world of inspiration, which floats in the magic circle like transparent gauze; the other is the energy particles of the real universe.

Spirituality is difficult to obtain, so the difficulty of refining it naturally increases several times.

Yu Lian constructed the magic circle and tried several Zhongzhou Tianhous and said to Wang Ping: "At this rate, it will probably take tens of thousands of years to reach the critical point of evolution again."

There was a hint of fatigue in her voice, and the light of the magic circle dimmed a little.

After listening to her, Wang Ping gently stroked her little head and responded: "Your formation is still very small. When we take over the border outside the domain, we can create a formation large enough to refine spirituality. Wouldn't it save time?"

His fingers brushed across Yu Lian's cold scales, and the wood spirit energy flowed into her body along the contact points, replenishing the energy consumed by Yu Lian.

Yu Lian stuck out her tongue and responded, "But this will require a lot of spiritual energy." Her golden vertical pupils looked towards the boundless darkness outside the transfer space, where countless unrefined spirits were floating in the void.

Wang Ping just smiled when he heard this and looked towards the starry sky where a conflict was taking place in the distance.

They practiced quietly here, oblivious to what was happening outside, but the fighting on the front did not stop. The quarrel between Zhu Wu and Zang Yi finally had a unified answer because of a small accident at the front.

It was several older third-level cultivators on the front line who, in order to refine some elixirs that would increase their lifespan, forcibly refined a small ecological zone they had accidentally discovered without receiving any specific orders, which led to a large-scale war.
