There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

There were no accidents in Jie Yin Que Cai's matter. She was arranged by Wang Ping to stay on Tai Yan planet and sit in the headquarters of Tai Yan Sect with Zi Luan.

Wang Ping took this opportunity to carefully observe the development status of the ecological zone around Zhongzhou Star. This starry sky is very small for the True Lords, but very large for others.

Hundreds of years have passed, and although these ecological zones have developed rapidly, even the area near the meteorite belt with the most resources has been developed to less than one ten-thousandth of its original size.

The population of ordinary people is close to one billion, and the number of qigong practitioners is nearly ten million. Their existence can better stabilize spirituality and the five elements of yin and yang aura, but Tiangong and Lieyang are not satisfied, because everything has two sides. If so many creatures with spiritual consciousness were to suddenly be destroyed one day, the spiritual chaos caused would be extraordinary.

Fortunately, there are enough resources and territory in outer space at the moment. Except for a small number of impulsive monks and one or two insignificant conflicts, these ecological zones maintain a cooperative state most of the time.

Among these ecological zones, the ecological zones developed by the Star God Alliance are the largest. The most prosperous ecological zone is called the 'Continent of All Things' by them, which means 'Spring has come and everything is renewed'.

Its size reaches one-third of the Zhongzhou continent. Most of the land is used to grow spiritual herbs. There are also hundreds of small ecological zones in the surrounding area for collecting energy crystals. These resources allow the Star God Alliance to exchange for a lot of natural treasures in the war on the front line.

The True Lords intentionally or unintentionally divided the starry sky around the Star God Alliance ecological zone when they later rewarded those three realms of the side doors, trying to curb their development in this way.

The Star God Alliance may have noticed the warnings from the True Lords and slowed down the development of the ecological zone, concentrating on operating the existing spiritual fields and energy crystal collection devices within the ecological zone.

This is just the ecological zone around Zhongzhou Star. The ecological zones developed by the Xuanmen and Tianmen sects are even larger. If the three-level side-door monks did not reinforce the front line, the number of them is estimated to increase by five to six thousand in recent years.

The rebels on the border outside the domain have completely lost the advantage of conventional warfare. They are now able to maintain the consumption of the war by relying on the rapid cultivation characteristics of extraterritorial energy. Nowadays, it is rare to see the rebels' organized fleets on the front-line battlefields. Instead, various powerful impact arrays are used to block various defense lines.

Wang Ping's layout has basically been completed. Now he just needs to wait for a perfect opportunity to launch the final offensive against the alien planet. This opportunity may never come, or it may come tomorrow.

Time passes quickly in this situation.

In the blink of an eye, another ten years passed, and Wang Ping's progress in practicing the 'Heaven Stealing Talisman' reached (18/100). The reason why it was so fast was that he expanded the scope of observing the basic rules of the Wood Spirit to outside the Wood Spirit world, and was once backlashed by the rules of heaven, so he did not continue to try.

That day, Wang Ping woke up from his meditation as usual. When he was about to observe the rich humanity of the world of faith, Yu Lian, who was beside the star map of the Kingdom of God, suddenly said, "The puppet you placed at the cave door is ready to be promoted to the fourth realm."

"Oh?"

After Wang Ping handed the puppet to Yu Lian to decide its fate, he paid no more attention to it, and it did not even stay in his memory for too long. At this moment, when he heard Yu Lian's reminder, doubt flashed across his face, and then he asked: "According to the tradition of the Cave Gate, he prepared in a hurry."

As he spoke, his consciousness swept over the tens of thousands of puppets he had deployed over the years, and soon locked onto Wang Qian's presence in the mountains north of the Xingduantian Mountains in Zhongzhou.

Yu Lian's voice also rang out in response: "Under my guidance, he quickly became familiar with several demon race Jindan realm cultivators. After these years of operation, he gained partial control over the mountains in the northern part of the Broken Sky Mountains and also received support from the Diku Gate cultivators."

Wang Ping raised his eyelids and glanced at Yu Lian, then focused his attention on the puppet. First, he checked the light screen panel to see if the puppet's soul was complete. When the value (105/100) popped up, he raised his eyebrows. To reach this value, a cultivator in the third realm needs not only perseverance but also great luck.

He couldn't help but laugh out loud and glanced at Yu Lian who was spitting out her snake tongue. With Yu Lian's presence, the thing this man had the most was great luck.

"Any questions?"

Yulian asked.

Wang Ping shook his head and said, "No problem, you did a good job."

"Yeah, haha!"

Yu Lian laughed triumphantly.

Wang Ping continued to observe the power of the underground veins in the mountain where the puppet was located. The current level of refining was not enough, only (41/100). There were even refining arrays in the nearby mountains that had not been completed. It would probably take hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, to complete this step.

"Keep observing him, and remember to remind me when he can be officially promoted, otherwise his promotion will definitely fail." After Wang Ping finished speaking, he stretched out his hand, and Yu Lian immediately flew over and wrapped around his wrist, then climbed onto his shoulder and lay down.

"Don't worry, I will always watch over him." Yu Lian promised.

Wang Ping took the opportunity to observe Zhongzhou Star and soon discovered that someone from Yuqing Sect was advancing to the fourth realm, and that Lord Yuxing was personally protecting him.

The other sects, however, were stagnant, with no apparent changes since Wang Ping left.

Two years later, reality made Wang Ping understand what it meant to be low-key. The Taiyin Sect, which had always had a low presence, actually gave birth to four-level cultivators first, and two of them at a time.

Yu Lian commented on this, "This is actually not surprising. Most of the Taiyin orthodox cultivators practiced hard. They have been perfecting their human consciousness since the beginning of their practice. In the past thousands of years, countless third-level cultivators have fallen into a deep sleep. Now that they have received Bai Yan's consent, the cultivators who can be promoted will naturally be promoted."

At this point, she suddenly sighed, "I wonder how that old guy Tongyu is doing? He has all the conditions for promotion, and all he needs is Bai Yan's nod."

Wang Ping knew that Yu Lian was deliberately reminding him. Although Yu Lian always quarreled with Tong Yu, she was still more concerned about the stubborn old man.

"Among all the True Lords, the only one I don't understand is True Lord Bai Yan. It's not a simple matter to take a fourth-level quota from him."

Wang Ping gently stroked Yu Lian's little head.

Yu Lian also knew the difficulty of this matter. She encouraged Wang Ping by spitting out her snake tongue: "You have to intensify your practice. When you can beat all of them, a spot will be just a matter of a word from you."

"Haha~"

Wang Ping chuckled.

Just as he was about to say something, the communication token of the meeting produced a wave of energy.

It’s Zang Yi.

What an unexpected person, because this person is very cautious and never takes the initiative to contact unless it is absolutely necessary.

Wang Ping used his Yuanshen to scan the message sent by Zang Yi with doubt, and then he was stunned. Yu Lian sensed Wang Ping's emotions and asked, "What happened?" "It was Yuanwu Zhenjun. He asked to meet with me. The three standard queens will visit Jupiter in person."

"Yuan Wu? Is that old man leaving?"

Yu Lian answered her own question, "That's right. You've delayed him for hundreds of years. Now we don't need them to continue to contain the rebels outside the border. I think the other True Lords will agree."

After she finished speaking, she complained: "Yuanwu is a really interesting person. He has everything planned out clearly. He won't say a word when things are impossible, but he will show up immediately when there is an opportunity."

Wang Ping did not respond to Yu Lian. After all, his cultivation in the fourth realm was so smooth thanks to Yuan Wu.

...

three days later.

Wang Ping returned to the Jupiter Jiuxuan Mountain Dojo quietly.

As soon as he landed at the dojo on the top of the mountain, the puppet brought him a formal invitation. Yuan Wu had arrived at Jupiter yesterday and was currently resting in the Taiyan Sect’s headquarters.

After Wang Ping wrote a reply in person, he took Yu Lian to the Dengxiantai outside Jupiter's atmosphere to wait.

A quarter of an hour later.

Yuan Wu landed on the Dengxian Platform accompanied by Zi Luan and Que Cai. He was wearing a formal blue Taoist robe with wide sleeves, a translucent jade crown on his head, and his jade gourd hanging around his waist.

"Meet Senior Yuanwu."

Wang Ping spoke first, and his attitude was still very humble.

Yuan Wu did not correct Wang Ping's address. He also lowered his posture, clasped his fists and saluted, saying: "Greetings to Changqing Zhenjun."

"Meet the true king!"

Zi Luan and Que Cai bowed ninety degrees.

Wang Ping glanced at the two of them casually, then flicked his sleeves and said, "You have done a good job, leave now."

Zi Luan and Que Cai both showed regretful expressions. At this moment, they felt Wang Ping's indifference and majesty. He was no longer as humble and approachable as before. But they did not dare to think too much and could only retreat as soon as they heard his words.

Wang Ping didn't care about Zi Luan and Que Cai's thoughts at all. He politely invited Yuan Wu to his dojo for tea.

Yuan Wu naturally couldn't refuse. When he landed on the top of Jiuxuan Mountain, he looked around and said, "Jupiter was just a chaos in the past, and the atmosphere was full of miasma. It was Huishan that purified it inch by inch to have the beautiful scenery it has today. I still can't imagine that someone as wise as him would be dragged into the abyss. Things in this world are really hard to explain."

His words were a reminder to Wang Ping and also a lament for the twists and turns of fate.

Wang Ping made tea with a smile on his face, without responding to Yuan Wu, while Yu Lian went to play with the calico cat.

Seeing that Wang Ping did not respond to him, Yuan Wu's eyes fell on the tea set that Wang Ping was fiddling with, and he quietly waited for a pot of good tea to be brewed. When he took a sip of the light tea, he flicked his sleeves to make his clothes look more proper and said, "You have experienced hundreds of years of war with the outside world, so you should have figured out the state of this starry sky, right?"

Wang Ping raised his eyelids and glanced at Yuan Wu, then took another sip of tea slowly and asked, "Senior, do you think there is no hope for the future?"

Yuan Wu's personality made it impossible for him to answer this question. A smile appeared on his face, and he asked in the same way: "What do you think?"

Wang Ping said with a smile: "Senior, are you planning to test me?"

"Don't think too much. We are just chatting now. You are now a True Lord of Xuanmen. Who in this starry sky can test you?" Yuan Wu said seriously.

Wang Ping met Yuan Wu's serious expression, but then he did not look at him. Instead, he looked at the green tea in the cup in his hand and said casually: "I am full of hope for the future. The other True Lords also have corresponding plans for the future. It's just that we can't reach a unified idea for the time being."

The serious expression on Yuan Wu's face faded, replaced by a smile. He smiled and said, "This starry sky may have been formed billions of years ago. Do you think the demons are just enjoying themselves during these endless years? Have you ever thought that they have already tried your methods in those endless years?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ping met Yuan Wu's eyes, suddenly chuckled, and asked, "Senior, do you know my method?"

Yuan Wu shook his head. "I don't know, but it's nothing more than using this starry sky to assimilate the outside world, or building a huge space fleet to conquer the outside world with your will, or you personally lead the True Lords to clean up the pollution outside the domain and expand outward according to the rules of this starry sky."

Wang Ping had no expression on his face, he just listened quietly. Yu Lian came over with her calico cat Teng Yun, took out two teacups and poured two cups of tea, and listened to their "chat" while sipping tea.

Seeing that Wang Ping had no intention of responding, Yuan Wu continued, "Now developing ecological zones in outer space is what you want to try, right? Isn't this just wanting to conquer the outer world with the spiritual power of billions of lives? But first you need the right to speak, do you have the confidence to outlast the other True Lords?"

Wang Ping put down the teacup in his hand, made a gesture of asking for advice, and said with his hands folded: "I am a young man with little knowledge and have never thought about asking for a say. These few methods are just to deal with the traitors outside the border. Maybe I can make other attempts in the future, but I have never thought about it now, and I will not think about it."

He acted very modestly, and his respect for Yuan Wu was genuine, but that didn't mean he had to be open-hearted to him. Since his master left, there was no one in this world to whom he could be open-hearted except Yu Lian.

Yuan Wu flicked his wide sleeves again. He seemed unaccustomed to such gorgeous clothes. Then he said, "Not all extraterritorial life forms are crazy. There are also a few with normal consciousness. Most of them are poor creatures whose homes have been destroyed. They are wandering tribes swept by the trend and have always been longing for the material starry sky."

He paused, picked up the teacup, stared into Wang Ping's eyes, and said, "I went to the outer domain this time to establish contact with these extraterritorial lives and solve our predicament from both inside and outside."

Wang Ping did not avoid looking into Yuan Wu's eyes this time. He asked, "Senior, how do you know that the ancestors of this starry sky have not tried your method?"

Without waiting for Yuan Wu's response, he continued, "I understand why you told me this. You just want me to cooperate with your plan..."

"No, it's not cooperation, it's collaboration!"

Yuan Wu interrupted Wang Ping and spoke faster, "I will not interfere with your plan. Instead, I will support you. This is cooperation. Our ancestors may have tried our ideas countless times. Judging from the current results, they have failed. But failure does not mean it is a mistake. We can only succeed one day if we continue to follow the footsteps of our ancestors. Otherwise, we will always be standing still." (End of this chapter)
