There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 949: Disciples of Taiyan Sect

As for the control over the quotas of the four realms, the True Lords do not think it is a control, they think it is natural. In summary, there is an ideological gap between the True Lords and their disciples, and there is no deep-level communication between them.

This problem not only exists between them, but also in the lives of ordinary people. The only difference is that there is not such a separation between the True Lords and their disciples.

The discussion about the quota lasted for a long time, and the topic was more like a casual chat. During the chat, Zhenjun Bai Yan seemed indifferent, but he was the one who talked the most, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time and suddenly found someone to confide in.

In Yu Lian's words, "These great gods worshipped in temples are actually lonely old men. They don't even have anyone to talk to. How pitiful."

As usual, Wang Ping remained silent most of the time during their chat, and only talked a few words when the topic came to himself.

An hour later.

Xuan Qing left on the grounds that he was not in good enough condition and needed to enter a state of meditation, followed by Tian Gong and Lie Yang. Wang Ping and Bai Yan were the last to leave. Wang Ping was the younger generation so he had to be more humble, and Bai Yan obviously had something to say to Wang Ping, but in the end he left without saying anything.

After exiting the projection space, Wang Ping pondered for a long time and said to Yu Lian: "There seems to be a very strange sense of isolation between the True Lords, but they are trying hard to eliminate this sense of isolation, which is very contradictory."

Yu Lian met Wang Ping's gaze, tilted her head and thought for a while before saying, "Now that you mention it, it is indeed true. Now that I think about it carefully, it seems that they are suspicious of each other and only have a little trust in you, but this trust will not last too long."

Wang Ping nodded slightly but did not say anything else.

Then Wang Ping fell into deeper thinking, but gave up halfway through. Then, the puppet he placed in Taiyan Sect suddenly emitted spiritual fluctuations.

With a little doubt, Wang Ping connected his consciousness to the puppet, and then a smile appeared on his face.

It was Li Miaolin who successfully broke through the shackles of his primordial spirit and truly entered the fourth realm.

...

Zhongzhou Star.

Above the Taiyan Sect's headquarters, Li Miaolin rode on the auspicious clouds and felt all the changes in the world. He felt a sense of freedom as if the sea was vast and the birds were free to fly freely. Then he turned into a stream of light, broke through the defensive barrier set up by the True Lords in the atmosphere, and came to outer space to look at the boundless starry sky.

He just looked at the starry sky for two hours before looking away. Then he looked towards the moon and saw dozens of flying boats transporting various supplies to the moon base. At the same time, he also sensed a powerful aura in the dark area of ​​the moon. He was very familiar with this aura. It was from Rongyang Mansion Lord of the Zhenyang Sect.

Li Miaolin tactfully concealed his breath, then flew towards Zhongzhou Star, hovering above the southeastern islands of Zhongzhou. He connected to the puppets in various places with his consciousness, and explored and understood the changes in the outside world during his retreat.

After more than ten breaths.

His original look of excitement over the promotion gradually disappeared, replaced by solemnity.

"I should have stayed in seclusion for a while longer!"

He muttered to himself, then turned into a stream of light and returned to the sky above the Guizhen Hall of Taiyan Sect, and then landed on the platform in front of the Guizhen Hall.

There were already two people waiting here. They were Que Cai and Xuan Ling, who were in charge of the specific affairs of Taiyan Sect during his retreat.

There was joy in Que Cai's eyes, she had already obtained the qualification to be promoted to the fourth realm, but Taiyan Sect was currently in urgent need of manpower, so she had not been in seclusion. Now that Li Miaolin had come out of seclusion, she could practice with peace of mind and touch the coveted fourth realm.

"This Zhongzhou seems to have become much quieter!"

Li Miaolin spoke first.

Que Cai smiled and responded: "Some people went to the battlefield outside the border, and some are preparing to build an ecological zone outside the domain."

Li Miaolin smiled upon hearing this and said, "It seems that you, the True Lords, are no longer satisfied with this small Zhongzhou star."

He still speaks so bluntly.

Que Cai and Xuan Ling did not respond.

After a brief silence, Xuan Ling bowed and said, "Teacher already knows that you have come out of retreat. Senior Sister Yuxi will come with teacher's decree in three days."

A hint of unnaturalness flashed across Li Miaolin's eyes, and then he asked, "What do you want, Master?"

Xuan Ling shook his head, "I don't know."

Que Cai next to him continued, "I think it's about the ecological zone, or the war outside the border. I heard that many side sects have obtained a large amount of natural treasures in the border war. Even if they didn't obtain any natural treasures, the True Lords have also given them a lot of rewards."

Upon hearing this, Li Miaolin stared at Que Cai and said, "You seem to really want me to go to outer space?"

His tone was aggressive.

Que Cai's tone suddenly froze, but then he smiled and said, "This matter is not decided by me, I hope fellow Taoists will not make random guesses. No one can see the True Lord now, not even Taoist Master Yuxi has ever seen him."

Seeing Li Miaolin frowning, Que Cai said, "The True Lord has promised me my promotion. Now that you have come out of retreat, I will hand over the affairs of Taiyan Sect to you."

After saying that, she bowed politely, then looked at Li Miaolin, waiting for his response.

Li Miaolin immediately responded with a smile: "Congratulations, fellow Taoist." Then he made a gesture of invitation: "Fellow Taoist, practice with peace of mind."

The conflict between the two broke out somewhat suddenly, but upon closer thought it was very consistent with their current situation.

Li Miaolin is a direct disciple of a fourth-level cultivator. Although he has experienced all kinds of inhuman training since childhood, he is born with a sense of superiority. Now that he has officially broken through the obstacles of his soul and become a true fourth-level cultivator of Taiyan, this sense of superiority will increase infinitely. In this way, his originally hidden contempt for Quecai will be inadvertently revealed.

However, Que Cai herself could not stand the so-called orthodox origin. To be honest, her ancestor was more orthodox than Li Miaolin. She had been carefully dealing with Li Miaolin and Zi Luan before. Now that she had received the promise from Zhenjun, the mountain that was weighing on her heart suddenly disappeared. However, she still suppressed it, otherwise there would have been more than just a few words.

Que Cai did not get angry at Li Miaolin's farewell as if he was chasing someone away. He still bowed with a smile on his face, and then left without looking back.

Li Miaolin watched Que Cai's figure disappear into the sky, and asked Xuan Ling beside him, "Do you think she can be promoted successfully?"

Xuan Ling did not respond directly, but cupped his hands and said: "His quota was handed to her by Uncle Yu Lian himself. I think the teacher hopes that Fellow Daoist Que Cai will be promoted successfully. Now is a time of great contention, and Taiyan Sect is short of talents."

After he finished speaking, he mentioned business: "Let's talk about business. Currently, everyone in the church is working hard for the ecological zone in outer space. While you were in seclusion, we transformed the ecological zone we built into a dense forest to grow hardwood so that we can build enough flying boats."

Li Miaolin did not dare to underestimate Xuan Ling. After all, he was a disciple of Zhenjun. He made way for him while he was speaking and invited him to enter Guizhen Hall for a detailed discussion.

In Wang Ping's plan, the Taiyan Sect on Zhongzhou Star will continue to be retained, but only a few third-level monks will be retained to preach the Taiyan Sect on Zhongzhou Star and to discover outstanding disciples who can be trained, while the headquarters will be moved to an asteroid in the orbit of Jupiter.

Wang Ping wanted to let Zi Luan handle this matter, but unfortunately Zi Luan was in seclusion at the moment, so Xuan Ling had to handle it temporarily. As for Li Miaolin, Wang Ping planned to dispatch him to the front line to replace Taoist Miao Qing, and he planned to meet Taoist Miao Qing in person, and if possible, he would arrange for her to open up more ecological zones. In the future, other four-level Taiyan monks will also go out to open up ecological zones independently, and the headquarters of Taiyan Sect will be handed over to Zi Luan for overall planning. Presumably, with his ability, he can balance the ecological zones built by the four levels.

Then, these ecological zones will be used to cultivate more side doors. Wang Ping is even considering deducing the skills of the four realms of the side doors to enhance the future exploration of the outer space.

...

Three days is not a long time.

Li Miaolin bathed and changed his clothes early in the morning. He wore a Taoist robe with wide sleeves, held a whisk in his hand, and wore a jade crown on his head, waiting in front of the gate of Guizhen Palace.

Deep down, he hoped that the position of the Lord of Taiyan Sect could be given to him, so that he could legitimately do what he had always planned. He planned to integrate the puppet secret technique of his lineage into the inheritance of the Taiyan Sect branch, and pass down the Taoist tradition.

It was a very simple idea. In fact, his inner thoughts were often the simplest. Otherwise, he would not be so bloodthirsty but not entangled in any inner demons. This was due to his master's training since childhood. It's just that such a person can easily become paranoid suddenly at some point. Li Miaolin has been able to maintain his humanity until now, so there should be no major problems in the future.

Moreover, he is very intelligent and knows how to read people's expressions. It has to be said that Taoist Chongxing is very good at training successors. However, with such a training method, no one knows how many successors died prematurely.

Chenshi.

A green stream of light flew quickly from the distant sky, and suddenly a cloud of auspiciousness descended from the sky above Guizhen Palace, and then Shen Xiaozhu's figure appeared in the cloud.

Shen Xiaozhu was wearing an ordinary blue Taoist robe with narrow sleeves. He maintained the soaring cloud technique with his right hand. When he saw Li Miaolin waiting in front of the gate of Guizhen Palace, he immediately withdrew the auspicious cloud and landed on the ground.

"Greetings, Taoist Master Yuxi!"

Li Miaolin, however, bowed first.

Shen Xiaozhu politely returned the greeting, and then went straight to the point: "Master has issued a decree, asking you to go to Linshui Prefecture within a year, and the Ninth Prince will arrange a flying boat to transport you to the border outside the domain."

Li Miaolin didn't expect this result, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. He could only respond respectfully and asked, "Master, do you know what the situation is like outside the border now?"

He had heard a lot in the past three days and had also looked through the relevant records in the archives of the Second Session Meeting, but a lot of the news was just flattery.

"It's going smoothly at the moment. The rebels have abandoned the outer ecological zone. The Dao Palace coalition is looking for opportunities to fight while reducing the living space of the rebels outside the region."

Shen Xiaozhu paused and said, "Master said that your skills are most suitable for the battlefield. You should go to the battlefield to find your own opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Li Miaolin thought about the cultivation of integrating the 'Heaven Covering Talisman', and asked with a fist: "I wonder if I can meet the True Lord?"

Shen Xiaozhu shook his head, "Master said that you just need to work hard on the front line, and your dreams will come true."

"I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Li Miaolin's face was solemn and he bowed to the sky.

After Shen Xiaozhu finished speaking, under Li Miaolin's gaze, he remained silent for two breaths, clasped his fists and said, "Master, I am going to make merit here, and I have an unwelcome request."

Li Miaolin was secretly delighted when he heard this, and immediately responded with a cupped hand: "Master, just say it. I will never refuse anything I can do." He made the promise very readily, and before Shen Xiaozhu could say anything, he added: "Even if I can't do it, I have some favors in the Second Meeting."

Shen Xiaozhu smiled just the right amount and responded, "It's not that troublesome. My disciple has been practicing for a while, and I want him to go to the battlefield outside the domain to train. I need to trouble you to take care of him."

Li Miaolin looked a little surprised. He thought it would be a very troublesome matter, but unexpectedly it was an easy thing. But then he changed his mind and had a headache again. The disciple of the person in front of him was the grandson of Zhenjun. Why did he go to the front line?

"Is it Taoist Master Yun Liang?"

he asks.

"That's right. According to Uncle Yu Lian, the future belongs to the starry sky. We have to let him go out and take a look. Otherwise, he will be trapped here like us and unable to leave."

Shen Xiaozhu responded.

Li Miaolin couldn't refuse Shen Xiaozhu's request.

After expressing her gratitude, Shen Xiaozhu suggested bringing her disciple over to meet him in half a month.

...

Qianmuguan.

In the deep jungle among the mountains to the north of the front hall, a large workshop was built at some unknown time. Thousands of Qigong practitioners were busy in the workshop. A flying boat was about to be assembled and the final barrier formation was being built. Two puppets were meticulously monitoring the stability of the barrier formation.

Above the clouds farther away, two assembled flying boats were on a sea trial. This area had a cloud bridge that led directly to outer space, which could circumvent the orbital barriers set up by the True Lords. It was currently one of the main channels for Zhongzhou Star to lead to outer space.

On the top of a mountain next to this workshop, there is another closed workshop where some puppets are busy assembling the power system of the flying boat. There is an independent defense barrier here and outsiders generally cannot enter.

It turned out that under the mountains of the Fire Academy, there was a giant refining array with flames rising into the sky. Hundreds of refining monks were hammering some special metals. The most conspicuous place was a mold with a diameter of more than 100 feet.

But it is still quiet and pleasant near Qianmu Mountain.

Shen Xiaozhu returned from the Taiyan Mountains without any stops and flew all the way to the Qianmuguan Mountains. She first used her soul to investigate the workshop where the flying boat was built, and then looked at the disciples who were practicing around the temple in front of her before landing at the dojo on the top of the mountain.

"Master, what's going on?"

When Yun Liang saw Shen Xiaozhu falling down, he couldn't wait to step forward and ask.

Shen Xiaozhu sighed secretly as he looked at his disciple, then smiled and said to Yun Liang, "I will take you to meet Taoist Master Li in a few days. When you reach the border outside the region, contact your Senior Sister Yang Rong first, okay?"

Yun Liang nodded, "Yes, Master."

He was not impulsive, but wanted to set an example. Wang Ping asked Shen Xiaozhu to notify Li Miaolin to go to the front line, and also asked Shen Xiaozhu to organize the disciples of Qianmu Temple to rush to the front line.

Just as Shen Xiaozhu was about to give some instructions, she saw Liu Shuang falling from the sky. She had no choice but to stop teaching her disciples and bowed to Liu Shuang, saying, "Senior Sister!"

Liu Shuang nodded and said, "Well, Master asked us to call Junior Brother Xia and go to his dojo on Jupiter together."
