There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Compared to the bustling Taiyan Mountain, Qianmu Mountain seems a bit deserted, but it also has a stronger Taoist atmosphere. Only the occasional Taoist temple courtyard is dotted among the dense mountains and jungles.

In the jungle south of Qianmu Mountain, two little white foxes were fighting each other. The weapons they used were two flying swords. Many surrounding trees were destroyed because of their fight.

These are the two little white foxes from Hu Qianqian's Taoist temple. Hu Lin is now in charge of the reconstruction of Baishui Lake, and Hu Qianqian is responsible for constructing a starlight magic array for Wang Ping. Without any elders to look after them, the little white foxes have been having a lot of fun in the past few years.

On an ancient tree in the distance, Yang Rong watched their fight to prevent any accidents from happening, because the reason these two little guys fought was entirely because of her instigation, and the "sword-wielding technique" they used was also taught by her.

After more than ten breaths.

Seeing that they could not defeat each other, the two little white foxes took out two long swords, which suddenly emitted a cold light and were accompanied by the sound of metal colliding.

Seeing that the two were about to start a real fight, Yang Rong quickly controlled the wood spirit energy to freeze their flying swords, and appeared beside the two, scolding them in the tone of an elder for not knowing the seriousness of the matter.

When the two little foxes were scolded, they pulled their furry tails and ears, and Yang Rong couldn't resist the urge to knead them, followed by laughter.

When the two little foxes ran away while playing with each other, Liu Shuang appeared beside Yang Rong and said, "These two little guys are your Uncle Hu's treasures."

"I'm teaching them to adapt to this world. My uncle has protected them so well." Yang Rong responded with a smile, and then changed the subject: "Do we really not have to go when Taiyan Sect is re-established this time?"

"As long as your uncle Xuan Ling is here, it will be fine." Liu Shuang said with a nonchalant smile: "Even if I don't go, we will not lose anything, so don't worry."

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand gently, and immediately new trees sprouted from the ground. Then auspicious clouds rose from under her feet and she flew towards her own dojo. When she reached mid-air, her eyes subconsciously looked towards the starry illusion among the mountains.

That was exactly the area where Wang Ping was in seclusion, which was also the sky above the wide square in front of the Qianmu Temple.

At this moment, the wide square in front of the hall was surrounded by brilliant starlight. It looked as if stars had fallen here, forming an endless abyss. This was the bloodline spell "Starlight Illusion" that Hu Qianqian obtained after she formed the Dan. It could distort the detection of most of the soul's consciousness.

Therefore, even Liu Shuang and others could not know Wang Ping’s current condition.

At the edge of the mountains, there is an isolation barrier that blends into the space. If you don’t look carefully, you can’t even notice the existence of the isolation barrier. It reflects the scenery inside and outside like a transparent crystal.

When a stranger approaches, he will immediately feel a strong repulsive force.

Looking down along the isolation barrier, you can see dense magic arrays scattered throughout the jungle on the edge of the mountains. They emit wonderful light, and mysterious runes are looming among the trees.

The energy for these magic arrays comes from the 'Nine Great Arrays' spread across the entire mountains. The visualized spirit gathering array at the core edge of the array is absorbing the rich wood spirit aura overflowing from the interior of the starlight illusion, which carries some of Wang Ping's unconscious power. This power is transmitted through the Nine Great Arrays to the isolation barriers at the edge of the mountains. That's why the isolation barriers generate a strong repulsive force.

Inside the starry sky magic circle, the flat square paved with white jade stones has disappeared, replaced by the dense roots of locust trees. A locust tree about ten feet tall has dense branches and trunks, and scattered locust flowers are everywhere.

Wang Ping's soul sat cross-legged in front of the locust tree, surrounded by four talismans. The mysterious light it brought and the golden light of the magic array converged together, making him look quite mythical.

Yu Lian kept her body, about ten feet long, wrapped around the branches of the locust tree, and her soul was communicating with the believers of the Kingdom of God.

Hu Qianqian sat upright on the auspicious clouds in the air, maintaining the starry sky environment in this area.

Two days later.

Wang Ping's soul woke up from his meditation. He first explored the state of the locust tree's absorption of the "Wood Spirit Origin". Then he pinched his fingers to gather the golden light and electricity of the surrounding magic array, and pointed out a broken map in front of him.

At this moment, the spiritual radiance emanating from the believers on Mount Taiyan was very abundant. They should be carrying out a sacrificial ceremony. Yu Lian came up curiously, looking at the Taiyan Mountain lit up on the divine map, and said, "This is the re-establishment of the Taiyan Sect. Zi Luan is leading the disciples to worship their ancestors."

Wang Ping said nothing, just watched quietly, and Yu Lian did the same.

Hu Qianqian, who was maintaining the magic circle above, felt Wang Ping's cold rationality, gathered her thoughts, and then merged into the starry illusion.

Time passed slowly under Wang Ping's indifferent gaze, and the sacrificial ceremony gradually came to an end.

Another few days passed.

The spiritual faith on Mount Taiyan became active again.

The Taiyan Sect was officially established.

In the following time, scattered spiritual beliefs continued to emanate from all over the Zhongzhou continent, and Wang Ping was always in a rational state of meditation.

Until one day, he opened his eyes again when he saw the broken outlines of the Western Continent and the Eastern Continent on his divine map.

Yu Lian had also woken up a long time ago. She looked at Wang Ping and opened his eyes. She said to him, "The beliefs of the people in Dongzhou are the most difficult to convert. However, once converted, the spirituality of the beliefs they can provide is several times that of the believers in Zhongzhou. The people in Xizhou are the most realistic. They are always fickle in various beliefs."

Wang Ping nodded. He was very satisfied with the current preaching speed of Taiyan Sect. However, he woke up this time not for this matter, but because the puppet placed in the dojo on the top of the mountain just now sent a message that Zhigong finally reached a preliminary agreement with the demon clan.

This was the information that Ao Hong sent through the communication token they used to contact each other. The condition for supporting the bow was to read the history before the rise of humanity recorded by the demon clan, and to allow their cultivators to enter the demon realm for training. The demon clan also had to provide two hundred spiritual crystals refined from their blood every hundred years.

The last condition was jointly proposed by Ao Hong and Zhi Gong after discussion. The two hundred spiritual crystals were originally to be divided equally among the three of them, but recently Vajra Temple heard the news and intervened, wanting to get a share of the negotiations.

Wang Ping was very surprised by the reaction of Vajra Temple. According to his expectation, Vajra Temple should oppose the demon tribe going out, but he did not expect that their first reaction was to share the benefits.

Are they really betting everything on Xizhou and don't care about anywhere else?

Zhi Gong did not send the message directly, but conveyed her meaning to Zi Luan through her disciples, and Zi Luan then reported to the puppet through Liu Shuang.

Wang Ping naturally understood Zhi Gong's intention of going to so much trouble. She wanted to get rid of the state of dependence on Wang Ping and Rong Yang during the Taoist Palace period and take back the right to speak for the Diku Gate.

Wang Ping had no way to deal with this, but he didn't lose anything. Zhi Gong just wanted the right to speak, not to leave their alliance. She couldn't leave the alliance unless Di Wen Zhenjun woke up and gave her the power. Yu Lian looked at Wang Ping who was thinking and asked what happened.

Wang Ping didn’t hide anything.

After hearing this, Yu Lian smiled and said, "Will the Yuqing Sect and Taiyin Sect also take advantage of this opportunity? If so, I'm afraid the demon race will give up the right to go out, right?"

Wang Ping really thought about this question after hearing this. "I don't think Yuxing Mansion Lord would do that. As long as it doesn't interfere with her cultivation or it's not within her job scope, she won't ask about it. As for the Taiyin Sect, it's probably impossible because Ao Hong will cut off their thoughts. Without the help of the Vajra Temple, they can't control the demon clan."

"That's true." Yu Lian nodded and asked, "How do you plan to negotiate with the demon tribe? The demon tribe seems to be easy to talk to this time."

Wang Ping suddenly thought of the wisdom of the ancients in his previous life and said, "The best strategy is to attack the enemy's plans, the next best is to attack their alliances, the next best is to attack their troops, and the worst is to attack their cities. They just keep asking for things and get very little. The demon tribe won't give me what I want, but I want it. What do you think I should do?"

Yu Lian asked, "What do you want?"

Wang Ping pointed to the bright lights in Mianzhu County on the map of the Kingdom of God and said, "The demon race itself is actually very useful, but no one in this world dares to use them."

Yu Lian looked at Wang Ping curiously, "Do you dare to use them? Can they be used by you?"

Wang Ping smiled and said, "The demons are always unruly and will most likely not be used by me. I also don't have the ability to suppress them. But as long as we can't let them leave us, then when we encounter problems, they will definitely stand up for us."

Yu Lian's golden vertical pupils were full of confusion.

Wang Ping did not explain to Yu Lian. Part of his consciousness descended upon the puppet in the mountaintop dojo. He summoned Liu Shuang to the mountaintop dojo and asked Liu Shuang to send Yang Rong and Zuo Liang to talk to the representatives of the demon clan.

"Have Yang Rong tell the demon tribe's representatives that our Taiyan sect only needs to trade with the demon tribe, and nothing else. In addition, as long as the demon domain can ensure that their people abide by their duties, our Taiyan sect can agree to give it a try first. We can set a deadline for them, let's say 200 years. If the demon domain can abide by its duties during these 200 years, then we can officially discuss the rest of the matter."

Liu Shuang didn't ask any questions. He took the order and went to find Yang Rong.

After Wang Ping gave instructions to Liu Shuang, he let the matter go. Dealing with the demon clan required long-term preparation, and there would most likely be some bumps in the road. What Wang Ping had to do was to lend a helping hand when the demon clan encountered obstacles in communicating with others, and then ask for what he wanted without them noticing.

The saying "a man who eats someone's food should be grateful, and a man who takes someone's money should be grateful" is not just a superficial saying.

...

In the blink of an eye, another two years have passed.

Most of the Zhongzhou continent is still desolate.

The area where Shangjing City was originally located has attracted a lot of people in recent years. They are all people who want to search for treasure in Shangjing City. There are cultivators and ordinary people, including many cultivators from Xizhou and Beizhou.

This scene is so similar. When the Xia Dynasty collapsed, the ruins of Shangjing City were filled with people who came to hunt for treasures, and then the new Shangjing City was formed.

The most popular piece of news in the cultivation world in recent years is that the secret techniques and treasures of a certain sect have been hidden in a certain place, attracting many cultivators from Xizhou and Zhongzhou, as well as some ordinary people who are desperate. They risk everything and head to the northern land, hoping to get rich overnight.

It is true that some people can become rich overnight. After all, although most of the wealth was reduced to ashes in the fire, some wealth was still buried under the ruins. Moreover, when the Catacombs later reconstructed the northern land, they buried many precious metal veins for the sake of geological balance.

For example, in Shangjing City, due to high temperature erosion, a large number of mountains have been melted, and some geological materials have been crystallized, producing a large number of crystals rich in spiritual energy. These crystals can be sold for a good price as long as they are pulled to Taiyan Mountain, the Diku Gate in the northwest, or the Yunhai Grassland.

A good price means profit, and the generation of profit will inevitably lead to turbulence. Many people have died in foreign lands because of this. The orderly and civilized Zhongzhou has unknowingly become synonymous with barbarism and chaos. Perhaps after a while, the land of Zhongzhou will be compared with the Far East Continent.

Compared with the chaos in the north, the south was much better, thanks to the existence of Taiyan Sect and the order and civilization extended from Zhonghui City. However, the area of ​​the original Haizhou Road also experienced turmoil from time to time, mainly due to conflicts between the fortress built by the powerful in Zhonghui City and the Hushan Kingdom clan.

Such conflicts are not intense. After all, there are a lot of unowned lands in the south, and it is not worth fighting for one or two small places. However, if the clans of Hushan Kingdom have too big an appetite, a bigger conflict will soon break out.

And Wang Ping is still in seclusion.

The locust tree under the starlight illusion has grown several feet taller after two years of growth. Wang Ping's soul has become more solid, the mysterious light emanating from him has become brighter, and the magic map reflected in front of him is also slowly recovering.

When Wang Ping opened his eyes this time, the golden lines between his eyebrows cracked, and the divine light of the "Heavenly Eye" flashed by. Then he looked at Yu Lian and stretched out his hand to calculate the time he had entered into meditation this time.

"What disturbed you this time?" Yu Lian asked.

"The puppet from outer space who was helping the Star God Alliance repair the transfer array ran into Taoist Chong Xing." Wang Ping answered truthfully.

"Can your consciousness descend into the past?"

"Barely."

Wang Ping had also done some work in the past few years to repair the outer space transfer array. He held up the 'Dongtian Mirror' while speaking.

The next moment, part of his consciousness descended upon the puppet of the repair and transfer array in outer space.

The first thing Wang Ping saw was the familiar black and white light, and then he was attracted by a huge meteorite floating in the starry sky. The side of the meteorite facing the sun was an ecological zone, and the other side was covered in darkness, emitting clear extraterritorial energy.

"That's what I use to keep myself alive!"

Taoist Chongxing's voice sounded nearby.

Wang Ping turned his head and looked at Taoist Chongxing. At this moment, there were many black spots on Taoist Chongxing's face. Then Wang Ping found that the wood spirit in his body was aging, but there was a spiritual energy that was sufficient to maintain his last life. This energy was the energy from outside the domain.
