There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Wang Ping used to have only a general idea about the future development of the outer space ecological zone. During this period, he would think about these issues whenever he had time. He also carefully read the Star God Alliance's top-down organizational framework for the extraterritorial border, and now he has a general plan in his mind.

If it is just to open up a few ecological zones, it is very simple, and only manpower and materials are needed. However, to open up ecological zones on a large scale and develop them as another continent, it is not just a simple construction of ecological zones, but requires complex overall planning. Otherwise, it will be a mess within 500 years.

Wang Ping planned to imitate the feudal system in the initial stage, and grant the third and fourth realm monks who had made outstanding contributions in this war the resources for the early construction of ecological zones, and let them lead their disciples to outer space to create ecological zones that can be passed down from generation to generation. The Taoist Palace would only maintain superficial jurisdiction and collect taxes every hundred years.

This starry sky is large enough for them to develop for hundreds of thousands of years without being crowded. When it develops to a certain scale, Wang Ping will promote related affairs of exploring the world outside the domain, which will inevitably consume a large number of cultivators and resources.

Even if they are allowed to develop to saturation, Wang Ping can still join forces with other True Lords to instigate wars in various ecological zones to ease conflicts and consume excessive resources, just like the game on Zhongzhou Star being re-enacted under the starry sky.

The prerequisite for achieving all this is to gain the support of the True Lords or to defeat them.

While Wang Ping was thinking about these issues, he did not relax his observation of the war on the front line, and shared his ideas with Yu Lian. Yu Lian was a good listener, and every time she listened, she would think seriously and not just perfunctorily.

"Perhaps during the Great Universe period, all creatures were also paid such attention by the two saints. Unfortunately, although the universe is large enough, it is ultimately limited, while time is infinite. When the civilizations of various races develop to a certain level, the saints can only restore order by destroying the world."

Yu Lian thought about this matter after Wang Ping told her his plan, and expressed her guess.

After Yu Lian said this, Xing Hai showed an illusory figure, stared at Yu Lian with a pair of dark eyes and said: "In the deep memories of various cosmic creatures, as well as the memories deep in your Xuanmen and Tianmen spiritual veins, it is clearly stated that the saints are in a deep sleep for a long time, and they will not take the initiative to destroy the world."

Yu Lian tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said in a serious tone, "Could it be that he was really disturbed from sleeping and lost his temper, destroying the universe? Sometimes when I bask in the sun, if someone disturbs me, I would like to destroy it from the inside out."

Xinghai looked at Yu Lian carefully again, and then his figure quickly disappeared under the starry sky.

Wang Ping couldn't help laughing, then he reached out and gently stroked Yu Lian's little head. Yu Lian took advantage of the situation and wrapped her arms around Wang Ping, crawled onto Wang Ping's shoulders and said to Wang Ping, "You call me, I won't be angry."

"Haha~"

Wang Ping was amused again.

Yu Lian asked him what he was laughing at, and he changed the subject and talked about other things.

Time passed slowly. While Wang Ping was chatting with Yu Lian, he was also paying attention to the war on the front line. However, the war on the front line was not as leisurely as theirs.

As ten combat teams of the demon clan joined the battlefield, the entire starry sky seemed to be on fire.

The rebels also sent out new combat teams without hesitation. The reinforcements of both sides collided in the void, stirring up a huge wave of energy. On the starry battlefield spanning tens of thousands of miles, the surging demon blood and the rolling demonic energy tore at each other, and the originally clear-cut battle lines suddenly became blurred.

In the brief confrontation of a quarter of an hour, the casualties of the demon clan were even more severe than what they had consumed in the civil war on the Demon Star for hundreds of years!
But this did not make the demons feel the slightest bit cowardly. Instead, it completely aroused the ferocity deeply rooted in their blood. They revealed their true forms, tore through the evil spirits with their sharp claws, and crushed magic weapons with their fangs. As time went by, the demons gradually gained the upper hand and suppressed the rebels, forcing them to retreat step by step.

Under such circumstances, Hui Daoren faced a difficult choice.

Taoist Miaoqing stood quietly on the auspicious clouds, observing every subtle change on the battlefield with his sharp eyes.

When she saw that the rhythm of the surging demonic energy in the rebel array began to become disordered, she knew that Taoist Hui was weighing three options: one was to continue to send other combat teams, but this would only plunge the war into a deeper quagmire; the second was to avoid the expansion of the war and choose to retreat first to preserve strength; the third was to go all out and activate the combat power of the fourth realm to fight.

"According to Taoist Hui's character, he will temporarily withdraw his troops." Taoist Miaoqing suddenly spoke, turned to the returning snake demon Baiqi, and asked: "What do you think, should we attack on all fronts at that time, or continue to confront them in this starry sky?"

The snake demon Baiqi's pupils suddenly shrank when he heard this, and then he lowered his head and said in a very low voice: "This matter is entirely up to you, Taoist friend. The True Lords have given you the decision-making power for the war here."

A barely perceptible smile suddenly appeared on Taoist Miao Qing's cold face. She looked around her formation, her eyes sweeping over every cultivator fighting bloody battles, and said in a gentle tone: "We have limited manpower, and each of them is a precious treasure of the True Lords."

After a pause, she continued, "A rash all-out attack will not be worth the effort. If something goes wrong, the other True Lords will blame us."

She raised her eyes and looked at the gradually shrinking demonic energy in the distance: "The best way is to lure their four realms to attack first. I have prepared a feast for Master Hui."

When the snake demon Baiqi heard this, the spiritual light flowing between its scales became softer. Its red vertical pupils looked at Taoist Miaoqing seriously and realized that this seemingly indifferent commander had no intention of targeting the demon clan.

Things developed exactly as Taoist Miaoqing had expected.

Taoist Hui finally chose to retreat, and Taoist Miaoqing immediately ordered the entire army to advance, but he also strictly ordered that the pursuit should not exceed 10,000 miles away from the central army.

She fully understood Zhu Zhenjun's thoughts and did not care about the temporary results of the battle. Instead, she compressed the rebels' living space step by step with minimal casualties, just like an experienced hunter who slowly and patiently tightened the encirclement until the prey had no way to escape.

the other side…

Lord Zixuan led the first-level and second-level cultivators to sweep the ecological zone, and as expected, they encountered considerable resistance. This fully demonstrated that the rebels' initial purpose was to really engage in a large-scale battle with the Dao Palace coalition forces in order to undermine the confidence of the Dao Palace coalition forces.

I saw that in front of Lord Zixuan, there was a small ecological area where various chaotic spirits were intertwined, and broken limbs were scattered everywhere.

The abdomen of a second-level monk was corroded, and the water spirit veins in his body were spreading to the rest of his body. He tried in vain to cover the wound with his hands, but a subsequent beam of light blew half of his head off. Not far away, three incoming monks formed a formation back to back, their robes had long been soaked in blood, and one of them had his left arm broken at the shoulder, with a strange corrosive green light flashing at the broken end.

"Kill! Take the star core!"

An old monk with a bloody face roared and pounced on the rebels. The Qingfeng sword in his hand flashed with cold light. The chest of the Star God monk opposite him suddenly cracked open, revealing the rotating Star God core inside. The starlight that was ejected instantly melted through the old monk's eyes.

Amid screams, the other two Taoist monks took the opportunity to chop off the rebel's head, but the headless body was still waving its claws and ripped out one of the rebel's heart.

The rebels' blocking not only failed to undermine the morale of the monks who had just entered the realm and the second realm, but instead made these young monks full of fighting spirit. They greedily watched every rebel, because the Star God core in the rebel's body was definitely a huge fortune for them, and the materials in the ecological zone made them salivate.

Again, on the muddy ground, a dying rebel was surrounded by five or six monks. They scrambled to cut open his chest like hungry wolves, and one of them dug out the star core first.

On the other side, a crippled rebel suddenly exploded, and the flying bone fragments swept across the battlefield like a blade. Three Taoist monks who were unable to dodge were immediately turned into blood gourds. One of them covered his face that was cut off halfway and stumbled into the burning fertile fields. At the edge of the ecological zone, a rebel with a broken leg was trying to absorb the magic energy from outside the domain to fight back. Three inbound monks took the opportunity to pounce on him. The one in front was repelled by a gravity shock. The two behind took the opportunity to step forward, one beheaded and the other ripped out his heart.

"This war really feels like a punishment for the crimes committed by the people!"

A voice with a hint of laughter echoed in the ears of Lord Zixuan, and then the figure of Taoist Cangyue appeared. He was wearing the most ordinary blue Taoist robe at the moment, and looked like an ordinary Taoist elder.

Although he has nominally been serving outside the domain in recent years, few people have seen him in the ecological zone he manages. When he has nothing to do, he conceals his breath and searches everywhere for suitable sacrifices. After the True Lords launched a war against the extraterritorial star gods, he joined the True Lords' camp without hesitation and is currently responsible for gathering intelligence outside the domain.

Lord Zixuan glanced at Taoist Cangyue and corrected him, "This should be considered a punishment on behalf of the gods!"

When he spoke, he looked at the people in the ecological zone who were being sacrificed by the members of the 'Jiutian Pavilion'. This did not mean to 'hang the people' at all.

Taoist Cangyue insisted on what he had just said, "After they die, they will see the saints, and their consciousness will be sublimated. This is the true punishment of the sinners!"

“That’s true…”

Lord Zixuan nodded in agreement, his soul consciousness fixed on another ecological zone, which was surrounded by countless white air waves. They were the "power pills" that had appeared in the Zhongzhou continent, and they were specially made to deal with incoming monks.

The blast blew away seven or eight monks, and some were torn into pieces by the subsequent shock waves while still in mid-air. An incoming monk who had luckily survived had blood oozing from his ears and nose, but he still tightly grasped the half of the star core he had just dug out.

In the past, the Star God Alliance purchased a large number of "power pills", and the marked purpose was naturally to deal with extraterritorial life. Unexpectedly, it is now used in this civil war. There is a strange feeling when using this thing in the extraterritorial battlefield, because the energy it brings sweeps up a large amount of extraterritorial magic energy, so that the impact force of the explosion can even affect the world of inspiration.

Fortunately, the monks in Zhongzhou already had experience in defending against the impact of the "power pill". Various isolation arrays unfolded like colorful petals under the starry sky, or they directly used more efficient defense arrays to offset the impact of the "power pill".

"Eh~"

Lord Zixuan suddenly sensed that deep in the ecological zone, there was a powerful energy gathering. His consciousness immediately probed over and saw a giant magic formation that was gathering refined demonic energy.

"A basic energy impact array."

Cangyue commented softly, and just as his words fell, a beam of energy burst out from inside the ecological zone, distorting the space wherever it passed, and hit the surface of the defensive formation constructed by the Dao Palace coalition at an extremely fast speed.

The light beam instantly penetrated the defensive formation, and the monks along the way turned into blood mist before they could even scream. Some monks who had managed to escape just raised their heads and were stunned by the scene in front of them.

Zixuan and Cangyue had no intention of helping. Such casualties were not common in the past few days, but not uncommon either. The orthodox cultivators of Xuanmen and Tianmen at the scene immediately gathered their cultivators and constructed a new formation. Several Taiyan cultivators immediately released their puppets.

“Are there any good talents among these people?”

Cangyue asked softly.

Zixuan retracted his gaze and looked at Cangyue, "Do you want to cause more trouble at a time like this? Have you really forgotten the existence of the True Lords?"

Cang Yue explained with a smile: "We are only guiding, not forcing. Everyone has times when they feel depressed, especially in a war like this. We are helping the True Lords to enlighten their disciples."

Zixuan was silent for a while, then responded, "Don't show up, or Master Bai Yan will take back your place in the fourth realm!"

Cangyue smiled and nodded: "I am doing something, and I feel that Changqing Zhenjun will definitely be interested. If I can get his protection, it will be much easier to do things in the future."

"What's the matter?"

Zixuan asked.

Cangyue shook his head.

Zixuan did not ask any more questions, but just warned: "Don't play with fire and get burned. The Changqing Master is different now than before. No Master likes others to take advantage of them. They are the only ones who take advantage of others!"

Cang Yue maintained his smile, "I dare not use the True Lord."

While the two were talking, the rebels in various ecological zones suddenly began to evacuate in an orderly manner on flying boats, and the people were also evacuating to the rear through special transmission channels.

"It should be Taoist Miaoqing who turned the tide of the battle. The monks of Taiyan Sect are really suitable for doing these things. They are patient, indifferent and rational enough." Zixuan did not chase the fleeing people and monks.

Cangyue also did not pursue, this is the difference between the 'Jiutian Pavilion' and other evil cultivators, they pursue saints and also follow basic morals, they are rarely seen bullying the weak, and they act low-key, and few people in the cultivation world know about them.

Their lack of pursuit did not mean that those monks who had entered the country or reached the second level would not pursue them, so blocking battles were staged in various ecological zones. This was pure consumption, consuming a part of the monks to preserve the survival of the majority.

However, within five Zhongzhou hours, thousands of cultivators at the entry level and the second level died, and the flesh and blood of the Qigong practitioners even dyed the ice crystals condensed in the starry sky red.

Time passed quietly.

The fierce large-scale battles between the six Zhongzhou Queens gradually subsided, and everything returned to the initial confrontation.

However, when everyone was saying that the Taoist coalition's army of monks temporarily assembled in the 'Outside Territory 142' ecological zone would be separated again, a group of fifteen combat teams composed of the five sects of Xuanmen raided the 'Outside Territory 51' ecological zone operated by the rebels.

This was the first ecological zone that the rebels applied to establish at the Dao Palace thousands of years ago!

Just when the rebels gathered their monks to reinforce Ecological Zone No. 51, Taoist Miaoqing personally led a team from the fourth realm of Xuanmen to raid Ecological Zone No. 42 where Taoist Hui was in charge.

Her move immediately attracted the attention of the five rebel realms, and Wang Ping naturally turned his attention to this ecological zone. (End of this chapter)
