There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

"Junior, I'm leaving~"

Wang Ping clasped his fists and bowed again, then retreated to the core of the magic circle behind him.

The soul of True Lord Lieyang dissipated into nothingness, and then his Golden Crow body turned around, buried his head in the magma, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Wang Ping, who was standing at the core of the magic circle, was a little stunned. He looked up at the starry sky outside. Isn't this asking me to fly back? He couldn't help but look for the location of Zhongzhou Star.

After a while.

Just when Wang Ping was struggling over whether to fly back, Lord Lieyang's Yuanshen appeared again. He smiled and said, "I'm old, and my memory is a little bad."

After saying that, he pinched a magic seal with his left hand, and immediately a surging fire spirit energy gathered around the magic circle, activating the runes of the magic circle. Then Wang Ping felt the familiar feeling of weightlessness and squeezing.

After a few breaths, the hall in the cave of Lord Rongyang appeared in Wang Ping's sight. The magic runes carved on the wall were familiar yet unfamiliar.

"How about it?"

Yu Lian's consciousness emerged in the spiritual sea, and then Wang Ping felt his shoulder sink. It was Yu Lian Tengyun who came over and lay on his shoulder, rubbing her head against his cheek.

Wang Ping reached out his hand and gently stroked Yu Lian's little head, and responded in the spiritual sea: "It went smoothly. His purpose in looking for me is the same as we guessed. We will talk about this later."

While communicating with Yu Lian, he walked out of the core of the magic circle, clasped his fists towards Rong Yang and said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you to wait for so long, fellow Daoist."

Rong Yang responded, "It didn't take long. You can go back first. We can get together in a few days. I'm very busy here now and don't have much time to entertain you."

Wang Ping nodded, and seeing that Rong Yang had no intention of taking him out, he led Yu Lian outside. After walking out of the cave, Wang Ping immediately used the "Tian Tong Fu" to enter the state of "nothingness", and then pinched out a fixed spell with his left hand.

As time passed, Wang Ping disappeared from the spot. When he appeared again, he was already in a Taoist temple under the jurisdiction of Qianmu Temple in Zhenyang Mountain. Without disturbing anyone, he ascended silently into the clouds with Yu Lian.

"You still have the aura of a fire spirit on you. How annoying."

Yu Lian spoke in human language, and as she spoke her body grew to two meters long. She cast a water-based blessing spell on Wang Ping, clearing away the remaining fire spirit aura on Wang Ping's body.

Wang Ping sat upright on a cloud, letting Yu Lian clear the fire spirit aura for him. He recalled all the conversations he had just had with True Lord Lieyang, and communicated with Yu Lian in a low voice.

After listening to Wang Ping's story, Yu Lian said in her spiritual sea: "True Lord Lieyang is indeed more generous than Yuanwu. He really gives things when he has them, unlike Yuanwu who is stingy. In addition, according to your description, Lieyang's condition is likely to have recovered, but it is a little unstable, which may be related to his physical body."

Wang Ping thought the same thing. After a long silence, he responded, "We have to plan this matter carefully when we return. I suddenly have a feeling that the civilized world of Zhongzhou will face a disaster, but it may also be a new life."

Yu Lian couldn't help but complain when she heard this: "When we are just communicating, don't use the word 'rebirth'. Also, you have to put away your compassion. This time, it is estimated that there will only be disasters, but it is profitable for us. Don't think too much about other things."

Wang Ping nodded silently. After receiving higher education in another world, he couldn't help but want to build a memorial archway for himself in everything he did.

"Let's go back."

Wang Ping stood up from the auspicious cloud.

Yu Lian reminded: "You should go visit Yuan Wu Zhen Jun first."

Wang Ping was startled, then nodded.

After a few breaths, he led Yu Lian to the familiar stream. It was noon now, the sun was shining brightly, and the sound of gurgling stream was accompanied by a cool breeze.

The gate at the end of the side path was open. When Wang Ping walked quickly towards the gate, Yu Lian crawled into his sleeve.

Yuanwu Zhenjun in the courtyard was quietly sipping tea. He saw Wang Ping standing at the door and waved when Wang Ping saluted, "Okay, come in, don't be so polite."

It seemed that he was intentionally waiting for Wang Ping here.

It was impossible for Wang Ping not to greet everyone, so he politely bowed and greeted everyone before entering the courtyard.

"How is the matter that Master Lieyang instructed?"

Yuanwu Zhenjun held a teacup in his hand, and after Wang Ping bowed, he walked into the courtyard and asked casually.

Wang Ping naturally did not hide anything.

"This is also your chance, but if this happens, Zhongzhou will be silent for a long time in the future. You have to make other preparations." Yuanwu Zhenjun took a sip of tea and instructed.

"Senior, please let me know what you want me to do. I will do my best to carry it out."

Wang Ping was respectful.

Yuan Wu Zhen Jun looked at Wang Ping and took another sip of tea. Then he put down the teacup and said, "After what happened with Zhen Yang Sect this time, you can start to re-establish Tai Yan Sect. I will take care of Tai Yan Sect for a thousand years, which will also settle the cause and effect between you and me. Do you understand?"

Wang Ping's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but look up at Master Yuanwu.

At this moment, Yuanwu Zhenjun's expression was no different from usual. He just looked at Wang Ping quietly. When the two looked at each other, Wang Ping immediately lowered his head.

The meaning of Yuanwu Zhenjun's words was very clear. He would only protect Wang Ping for a thousand years, which would settle the karma between Wang Ping and him for hundreds of years. After that, they would return to dust and return to earth.

"The junior doesn't quite understand."

Wang Ping answered like this, but he didn't understand.

Yuanwu Zhenjun chuckled, and then said in very straightforward words: "I understand your ambition very well. Let me tell you this. As one of the leaders of the Star God Alliance, I will definitely not agree with your plan to enter the Zhenjun realm, but..."

He sighed heavily, "But I owe you this thousand years, and you are also a human cultivator, so I will give you a chance. If you can achieve the realm of a True Lord within a thousand years, I will definitely support you with all my strength. If you exceed this time limit, it will be beyond my control."

Wang Ping's heart skipped a beat after hearing what Yuan Wu Zhen Jun said. He immediately clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Zhen Jun!"

"Haha!" Yuanwu Zhenjun laughed, "From the looks of it, you are confident that you can advance to the fifth realm within a thousand years? But do you know how long it takes to breed a true wood spirit? Without the 'Origin of the Wood Spirit', no matter who it is, no matter how talented he is, it will take at least three thousand years. Even if you breed the 'Origin of the Wood Spirit', you can only reduce this time by fifteen hundred years!"

"The 'Wood Spirit Origin' that Xiaoshan left for you is not enough. If you want to cultivate the Wood Spirit to perfection, you need at least 5 portions of the 'Wood Spirit Origin'. Otherwise, you can only slowly absorb energy crystals like other fourth-level cultivators. Only in this way, you may have a % chance of perfection until the end of your life." It was the first time that Wang Ping heard this. He couldn't help but calculate in his mind. Now he had two portions of the 'Wood Spirit Origin' in his body, and he could gather another portion with his spiritual veins, which means he had three portions of the 'Wood Spirit Origin' in his hands.

Yu Lian reminded in the Spiritual Sea at this time: "The Grandmaster should have a share. According to them, the Grandmaster has not died yet. If we can find the Grandmaster in the Misty Sea, then we only have one share left. This share can be obtained through hard practice. I think the remaining share should not be too difficult to cultivate."

After Yuanwu Zhenjun warned Wang Ping, he sighed heavily and said, "You are also blessed by nature. You just happened to come into being at this time. Giving you a thousand years is indeed a bit difficult for you. Let me remind you to try to awaken Xiaoshan's consciousness. He must have a copy of the 'Wood Spirit Origin' in his hand that he has not used."

Yu Lian couldn't help but cheer in her spiritual sea: "Isn't this complete?"

Wang Ping knew that these two copies of the 'Wood Spirit Origin' would not be so easy to obtain, and he only had a thousand years. He was not even sure who would be able to support him in his ascension to the True Lord realm after a thousand years.

"Thank you, senior, for reminding me!"

Wang Ping bowed.

After Yu Lian cheered, she complained in the Spiritual Ocean: "He is indeed much more stingy than Lie Yang."

Wang Ping felt the same way, but he had to be respectful on the surface.

"You don't have to thank me. The thousand years start from the time when the matter of Zhenyang Sect ends. You should be aware of this." Yuanwu Zhenjun picked up the teacup and said, "Also, remember to take care of the next things."

This is an order to evict you.

Wang Ping tactfully clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Then I will not disturb you from resting."

Yuanwu Zhenjun lowered his head to drink tea and ignored Wang Ping who was leaving. When Wang Ping walked out of the courtyard, the gate closed automatically, and then the whole courtyard was in an illusion.

"His advancement to the fifth realm is good for us, so why do you have to hate him?"

A soft female voice sounded, and the Nine-tailed Fox Star Banshee appeared in the illusory void. While speaking, she jumped onto the stool next to her and gracefully stroked the hair of her nine tails.

Yuan Wu Zhen Jun said while sipping tea: "His journey has been too smooth. Don't be fooled by his respectful attitude towards me. In fact, he has never been respectful to anyone in his heart."

The Star Banshee burst into laughter upon hearing this. She laughed until the hair on her body loosened up. After she finished laughing, she said, "Just be respectful on the surface. It's okay. We should judge by deeds rather than by heart. In your heart, you still curse the True Lords as worse than pigs and dogs, but on the surface, we still have to maintain the minimum respect."

When Yuanwu Zhenjun heard this, he also smiled.

After a brief silence, the Star Banshee asked: "A thousand years later..."

"A thousand years is enough time for a civilization to rise, and it is also enough time for him to do many things. Even if we are not there by then, he will have other supporters. Don't underestimate the relationship between the five sects of Xuanmen!"

He looked toward the southern sky as he spoke.

After leaving Ningzhou Road, Wang Ping entered the state of "nothingness" again, soaring inside the wood spirit energy, and in the blink of an eye he returned to the mountaintop dojo of Qianmu Mountain.

Everything in the dojo was the same as before, but Wang Ping felt as if he was in another world. Looking at the familiar courtyard inside and outside, his mind recalled what the courtyard looked like when it was first built. At that time, Qianmu Temple was just a few tiles and a few walls. Liu Shuang was always running around in and out of the courtyard mischievously, and Yang Ziping was always bullied by her.

It all seemed to have happened yesterday, and yet it also seemed like a long time ago, so long ago that the seas would dry up and the rocks would crumble, so long ago that Wang Ping couldn’t even recall the scene if he didn’t think carefully about it.

"You're thinking about random things again. This is not a good habit." Yu Lian flew up into the sky and said, "I'll go check on Xiao Zhu."

Wang Ping turned his head to look at Yu Lian who was leaving. His spiritual consciousness expanded rapidly and he soon captured Shen Xiaozhu's condition. It was still relatively stable at the moment. She could actually come out of seclusion. It wouldn't take too long to advance to the third level. It was just that Shen Xiaozhu was sometimes more cautious than Wang Ping, or she was afraid of accidents.

Wang Ping regained his consciousness and walked to the coffee table under the old locust tree and sat down. He activated the puppet in the courtyard to come and make tea for him, while he leaned back on the cushion and lost his mind in a daze.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but the fragrance of the tea brought him back to his senses. He changed to a more comfortable lying position, and then he heard a "meow" next to him. He turned around and saw the calico cat lying in her nest.

Without Yu Lian as an interpreter, Wang Ping couldn't understand what the calico cat was saying.

"If Dong Can fails to be promoted, can Zuo Liang inherit the dojo of Dongshui Mountain?" The calico cat spoke in human language, and the voice became much clearer, but it was a little cold and did not sound like it was spoken by a human.

Wang Ping was a little surprised by Mimi's topic, picked up the teacup and asked, "Is Dong Can going to be promoted?"

He paid little attention to this weapon cultivator who came to him for help, and would only think of him when he needed him. Yu Lian often used this to complain about his double standards.

"I think he is almost ready. Maybe he will come to you in another hundred years."

The calico cat said with certainty.

Wang Ping nodded. If possible, he hoped that Dong Can could be promoted successfully. By then, all the weapon cultivators in the world would most likely be willing to become Qianmuguan's vanguards.

Now he has the 'Painted Face Mask' in his hand. As long as he completely integrates the 'Heaven-Covering Talisman' and successfully refines the 'Painted Face Mask', he can let Dong Can try the life-threatening situation. Moreover, the Jiuding Sect must have made attempts in recent years. He can go to them first to learn from them, which may increase the success rate.

"Why didn't Zuo Liang come back?"

Wang Ping asked the calico cat while thinking about this matter.

The calico cat stood up and stretched lazily, and responded, "She is looking for a successor outside. In another seven or eight hundred years, it will be time for her to be promoted. She must first find a successor to pass on Zuo Xuan's skills. It is very troublesome for a weapon cultivator to train a successor. It will not be effective without five or six hundred years."

Wang Ping couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "Time flies. It seems like it was just yesterday when I was exploring Shangyang Mountain with Taoist Zuo Xuan."

The calico cat was not so sentimental. She repeated the question, "If Dong Can fails, can Zuo Liang inherit the Dongshui Mountain Dojo?"

Wang Ping smiled, took a sip of hot tea and replied, "Whether Dong Can succeeds in his promotion or not, Zuo Liang will inherit the Dongshui Mountain Dojo. After all, it was built by her master himself."

The calico cat didn't think much about it after hearing that. It just meowed and disappeared into the void.

After the calico cat left, Wang Ping picked up the teacup and took two sips of tea to make himself feel happier. Then he took out the "Dongtian Mirror" to observe the situation in the world.

Before Ao Hong planned to kill Ao Bing, he needed to make some arrangements for the dojo he controlled. After all, after the matter of Zhenyang Sect was over, it would be his time to re-establish Taiyan Sect. (End of this chapter)
