There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Wang Ping agreed to the party request without much thought.

Ten days passed in a flash, and when he appeared in the familiar projection space, he saw only Quan Wei, but no sign of Zhi Xin.

When Quan Wei stood up to salute, Wang Ping asked, "Where is Taoist Zhixin?"

"The communication array connecting to the outside world has been cut off. This happened half a year ago. It was Bai Xin who ordered it. He wanted to cut off all connections between the inner ring star field and the outer space." Quan Wei explained.

Yu Lian, who was connected to Wang Ping's Yuanshen, heard this and immediately commented: "He wants to sever the connection between the True Lords and the outside world. This Bai Xin is really tough."

Wang Ping also looked at Bai Xin differently, but he was not sure how to comment on Bai Xin's actions.

Quan Wei continued, "Bai Xin, Tian Gong, and Lie Yang have known each other for a long time. When the Demon King was uniting the various tribes, they had united to resist."

When Yu Lian heard this, a lot of emotions emerged in her mind. She was obviously very interested in this story and urged Wang Ping to ask more.

Wang Ping himself was also very interested, and the two of them started today's gathering with this topic.

This period of history is like most of the history after the beginning of human civilization. Yao Xi naturally succeeded in integrating the various tribes. Then the foggy sea descended and the mysterious magic appeared. Opposition voices emerged from the originally integrated tribes. This time Yao Xi failed to suppress them successfully, and instead died.

After listening to this history, Yu Lian commented in Wang Ping's spiritual sea: "We usually always subconsciously ignore the fact that Lieyang and Tiangong were originally from the demon clan, which makes his story sound full of fantasy."

Wang Ping suddenly wanted to know what the background of Lieyang and Tiangong was, but after thinking about it, he did not ask this question, but asked: "How is Yaoxi's cultivation?"

Quan Wei lowered his head and thought for a while, as if he was not sure about Yao Xi's cultivation level. After a few breaths, he raised his head again and looked at Wang Ping, and said: "Your Majesty's divine light can shield the five elements of yin and yang, and can even distort their sea of ​​qi and soul. No one knows his cultivation level, and he may be close to the next realm. It is almost impossible for the True Lords to defeat His Majesty, but the facts are before us."

He seemed to be bothered by it.

"If His Majesty were here, this starry sky might have prospered long ago, and there wouldn't be any foreign rebels. He had already proposed to stop the war with the human monks and explore this vast starry sky together."

Quan Wei's tone was filled with regret.

Wang Ping heard from Quan Wei about another demon king who was full of wisdom and extremely open-minded, not as cruel as recorded in historical records.

"The reason they suppressed Yu Xiao might not be because he induced Hui Shan, but because they were afraid of the birth of a second demon king."

Quan Wei suddenly became talkative, and his words were not as cautious as before.

Wang Ping did not comment on this. After staring at Quan Wei for a few breaths, he changed the subject and said, "Did you have any information to share with me during this meeting, or did you want to learn something from me?"

Quan Wei was brought back to reality by Wang Ping's question. His eyes paused slightly, as if he was adjusting the focus. He apologized, "I'm sorry, Master." Then he pondered for a few breaths before saying, "I just want to know what you Masters really think. As a deal, I can tell you what Bai Xin and Hou Ji are going to do next."

This question may seem simple, but it is actually very crucial for an independent fifth-level demon cultivator like Quan Wei.

Wang Ping thought for a moment and said truthfully: "The attitudes of the True Lords have not yet been unified. I am also waiting for them to give an accurate answer. You don't have to worry. I estimate that they will express their opinions within no more than two standard years."

Quan Wei's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at Wang Ping and said, "It's been too long, and the front line is now like a powder keg. If you don't make a decision soon, Bai Xin and Hou Ji will personally attack the alien planet..."

He paused, his tone revealing helplessness and worry, "There are only six True Lords left in the demon race now. If the two of them take action, no matter whether our relationship is good or bad, we will not sit idly by. You should understand the reason, right?"

Unlike Quan Wei's worries, Wang Ping was somewhat happy in his heart. This was the opportunity he had been waiting for. On the surface, he was serious and earnest. He stared at Quan Wei and said, "How many people know about this?"

Quan Wei replied: "Even Zhu Wu and the others don't know about it at the moment. I learned this news by eavesdropping on their conversation through the inspiration of my disciples and grandchildren with my innate bloodline."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ping looked at Quan Wei seriously. He knew very well that this explanation was nonsense. Bai Xin and Hou Ji must have let him know on purpose in order to force the True Lords to make a decision early and also to let the True Lords see their determination.

He pretended to hesitate and pondered for more than ten breaths, then said to Quan Wei: "My say is limited, I will recommend someone to you, and it will have a miraculous effect if you tell him this news."

"Who?"

There was urgency and curiosity in Quan Wei's tone.

Wang Ping did not keep anyone in suspense and said directly, "Master Bai Yan."

Quan Wei immediately fell into deep thought. Wang Ping did not disturb him. Yu Lian complained in the spiritual sea: "Your communication is really tiring."

Wang Ping responded to her this time, "It's fun too, isn't it?"

"Maybe."

As they were talking, Quan Wei bowed his hands and said, "Thank you, Master, for telling me."

This impromptu gathering came to an end here.

...

In the following time, Wang Ping practiced while waiting quietly. As the Spring Festival of another year was approaching, Yu Lian traveled back and forth to Zhongzhou Star these days, urging Wang Ping's disciples to come and wish Wang Ping a happy new year.

On the morning of the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month in Zhongzhou time, Bai Yan informed Wang Ping individually through the communication token of the Yixi meeting that Lieyang would most likely contact him in a few days, and told Wang Ping that it would be better to tell the truth about some things.

This news made Wang Ping feel uncomfortable as if someone saw through him, but then he smiled with relief. With the cultivation and wisdom of Lieyang and others, their cleverness was of no use, as the real game was still about the gains and losses of interests.

However, no matter how the game went, Lieyang and the others would never have thought that Wang Ping's cultivation could surpass theirs in a short time.

Thinking of this, Wang Ping couldn't help but open the "Heavenly Eye" between his eyebrows. In his sea of ​​consciousness, he thought of Yao Xi and Yu Xiao unconsciously. Then he suppressed these thoughts and decisively cleared them out of his mind.

Now, he needs to remain humble and cautious, move forward step by step, and wait for the day when the answer is revealed. "What are you thinking about?" Yu Lian suddenly descended from the clouds.

"Just now, Bai Yan sent me a message..."

"You're not leaving, are you? Xiaozhu and Liushuang are coming."

"Don't worry, not for now."

"That's good."

Yu Lian breathed a sigh of relief, and then used the authority given to her by Wang Ping to order some puppets to go to the nearby mountains to pick fresh fruits. She also asked the puppets to go to the warehouse behind the yard to take out some rare treasures and pack them up. These would be the best gifts for her disciples to come and pay her a visit tomorrow.

The second day on Zhongzhou Star was just afternoon for Jupiter.

The first person to arrive at the Jiuxuan Mountain Dojo was Hu Qianqian, who was the closest to her. She was followed by her disciple Hu Lin, and there was also a little white fox beside Hu Lin, which was Hu Miao, Hu Lin's new disciple.

Wang Ping sat upright on a stone bench in the courtyard and accepted the greetings of the three of them. After Yu Lian handed a gift to Hu Miao, Hu Qianqian took over the puppet job and made tea for Wang Ping, while Hu Xin led his disciples out of the courtyard and acted as welcoming boys.

A quarter of an hour later.

Liu Shuang brought Yang Rong, as well as Yang Rong's two disciples Wang Yuqin and Zhao Lei, to the transfer formation above Jiuxuan Mountain.

Wang Ping accepted their greetings with a smile. Yu Lian took out two gifts and handed them to Yang Rong's two disciples respectively.

"How is Yu'er's disciple doing recently?" After they greeted each other, Wang Ping asked about Zhao Mingming, the disciple Zhao Yu'er accepted in Dongzhou. This disciple left a deep impression on him.

"After Donglin returned from the front line, he has been in seclusion in the Taoist temple of one of his good friends. I received information about his Dharma Assembly five years ago, but I don't know his specific status." The 'Donglin' ​​that Liu Shuang mentioned is Zhao Mingming's Taoist name. Her tone of voice sounded helpless and bitter. She really wanted to make up for her debt to Zhao Yuer through Zhao Mingming, but she never had the chance.

Wang Ping sensed Liu Shuang's emotions and didn't know what to say. He could only turn his attention to Yang Rong and asked, "You've been busy with the ecological zone recently, right? How's it going?"

Yang Rong's accumulated achievements in assisting the logistics of the Dao Palace coalition forces enabled her to obtain an ecological zone with a good location thirty years ago. In recent years, she has been busy with the development of the ecological zone, and her two disciples have been looked after by Liu Shuang.

"To reply to Master, things are going very well at the moment. The war on the front lines requires a large amount of energy crystals, which I can exchange for any materials I want." Yang Rong responded calmly. She had seen Wang Ping since she was a child. At that time, they often played in the mountaintop dojo of Qianmu Temple. Therefore, she did not have too much fear of him, but only respect.

"From what you say, you want to establish your own school?" Wang Ping asked with a smile.

"Master, you have misunderstood me. I am here to inherit your legacy. I built the ecological zone just to prepare for the promotion to the fourth realm. Over the years, I have been exploring the possibility of the fourth realm. When things get out of hand, I plan to switch from the "Art of Gathering Wood" to the Star Mysticism. Theoretically, as long as I choose a Star Mysticism that is equal to the characteristics of the wood spirit, the success rate will be very high."

Yang Rong responded calmly. This time she followed the army to the foreign border, her horizons were greatly expanded and her thinking was no longer limited to the previous framework.

Wang Ping nodded gently in approval. With Yang Rong's current state, if she switched to cultivating the Star God ability that matched the Wood Spirit, she might be able to advance to the fourth realm. So he advised, "You have always had your own ideas since you were young. Stick to your ideas. If you have any difficulties, bring them up and we can work together to find a solution."

Without waiting for Yang Rong to respond, Liu Shuang couldn't wait to say, "Rong'er has been smart since she was young. It was my fault at first. I should have let her practice the Taiyan Talisman..."

Yang Rong interrupted, "Master, what are you talking about? I chose my own path. What does it have to do with you? I think it's fine now."

She is open-minded and has been like this since she was a child, which is why she has been able to get to where she is today with the "Art of Gathering Wood".

Yu Lian said in Wang Ping's spiritual sea at this time: "Shuang'er's journey seems to be smooth, but she has also suffered a lot. When she was young, Yang Ziping's departure made her very sad. Later, her two disciples competed with each other and blamed her, and even hated her. Rong'er grew up in such an environment. She can feel her master's helplessness and suffering the most, so she is so sensible."

Liu Shuang was about to say something when auspicious clouds suddenly appeared in the sky. It was Shen Xiaozhu and Xia Wenyi who arrived at the same time, and they were accompanied by their respective disciples.

As Wang Ping's direct disciple, Shen Xiaozhu naturally went forward to pay his respects first with his apprentice Yun Liang and his grand-disciple Yu Dan. As usual, Yu Lian gave Yu Dan a gift.

Because it was the first time for Xia Wenyi's disciple to meet Wang Ping, Xia Wenyi took the initiative to introduce him before the ceremony: "This is a disciple with excellent physique selected by Qin'er from the clan ten years ago. His name is Xia Ming. He has gained the sense of Qi after only five years of practice."

The 'Qin'er' he mentioned was Xia Qin, his chosen disciple. His tone was full of pride, but Xia Mingming acted very timidly. He even forgot to salute and just lowered his head woodenly.

Xia Wenyi should be a strict elder. His disciple's behavior immediately made him look dissatisfied. Fortunately, Xia Qin took the initiative to bow to Wang Ping and said, "Master, please forgive me. My disciple has made some mistakes."

Yu Lian said, "He is just a mortal now, so don't push him too hard. Tao follows nature, and if you push too hard, you will end up being inferior."

Wang Ping did not pay attention to Xia Qin. His eyes fell on Xia Wenyi, and he felt the increasing rationality and paranoia of this disciple. His rationality came from the fairness and justice that needed to be maintained in daily handling of various affairs, while his paranoia came from his excessive fairness and justice.

"Have you been reading 'Commentaries on Heaven and Man' recently?" Wang Ping's voice was soft, but it had the authority of a master.

Xia Wenyi was obviously startled by this sudden question. It took him a few breaths to come back to his senses. Then he lowered his head and apologized, "Disciple is busy with worldly affairs..."

Wang Ping interrupted, "I remember when your master was alive, he often praised you for your comprehension. When you were only fifteen or sixteen years old, you could argue with him based on the principles of the Tianren Annotations. But now you have forgotten everything in it, right? Your master had high expectations for you back then."

Some memories that were about to be forgotten emerged in Xia Wenyi's mind. When he was about to admit his mistakes, Yu Lian said, "Your disciples and grand disciples are watching you. A master should act like a master. Remember what your master said just now. After you go back, study the Annotations to Heaven and Man every day."

"Discuss everything with your senior sister and junior brother. Also, go to Taiyan Sect more often when you have nothing to do. Don't get lost in the dreams you've created." Wang Ping warned Xia Wenyi again, then flicked his sleeves and said, "Stay aside."

Xia Wenyi felt relieved and led his disciples to retreat to the side.

For the next day, Wang Ping's disciples gathered around him and talked to him, and the topics were all interesting gossip.

A day later, his disciples left one after another. After all, they all had their own practices.

Two days later, Lieyang sent a visiting card to come to Jupiter to meet Wang Ping. (End of this chapter)
