Lord of Time: From a Five Elements Cultivator to a Master of All Daos

Chapter 105 Demonic Abyss
In a desolate mountain range on the border of Yunzhou, far away from the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains, several Nascent Soul cultivators gathered here.

If Nie Yuansen were here, he would understand why the Shadow Moon Sect did not respond to his request for help.

There were a total of four Nascent Soul cultivators present, namely, Shadow Moon Sect’s elder Ruowu Taoist, Wang Family’s ancestor Wang Yonghong, and Scarlet Flame Society’s elder Chu Wenqian.

And Meng Yi, the Grand Elder of Shadow Moon Sect.

Wang Yonghong, the ancestor of the Wang family, is a fourth-order mid-stage physical cultivator, which corresponds to the mid-stage Nascent Soul in spiritual cultivation.

According to the description of the exercises they practiced, this state is called the Golden Body.

The human world mostly focuses on the path of spiritual practice, and physical practice is ultimately a minor path.

Although there are many spiritual practitioners who practice this path as well, their levels are generally not very high.

There are only a handful of people who have cultivated to the fourth level like the ancestor of the Wang family.

At the same time, there are not many physical cultivation inheritances in the human world, which leads to the lack of a unified standard in terms of realm.

Unlike the spiritual cultivation system of Qi refining, foundation building, Dan formation, Yuanying, and Shenhua...

On the path of physical cultivation, the realms described in different inheritances are different.

For example, the "Body Casting Art" practiced by the Wang family is divided into iron body, bronze body, silver body, gold body, and jade body.

It is a top-level body-refining technique that can directly reach the fifth level, which is equivalent to the inheritance of spiritual transformation.

Another elder of the Red Flame Society, Chu Wenqian, is a spiritual practitioner in the early Nascent Soul stage.

As one of the Yuanying forces in Yunzhou City, the Red Flame Society has members who mostly practice fire-related spiritual magic, and some of them will collect a kind of spiritual fire from heaven and earth for their own use.

The president, Shao Jie, possesses a kind of spiritual fire called Tian Liu Fire. It is said that this fire was formed when a spiritual fire from outer space fell and collided with an underground fire vein, and Shao Jie collected it from deep in the earth vein.

Tianliu Fire has the ability to burn spiritual energy and is best at destroying the bodies of cultivators.

If the members of the association fail to collect the spiritual fire of heaven and earth that they need, they can take a wisp of fire from the Tianliu Fire for their own use.

This is the case with Chu Wenqian, the elder of the Red Flame Society. He possesses the fourth-order Tianliu Fire, and although he is only in the early Nascent Soul stage, he can use this fire to compete with ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

If my Taoist is a swordsman in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, his strength would be outstanding among those of the same level.

As for the last person, Meng Yi, he is a great cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.

In the human world, only those in the late Nascent Soul stage can be given this title, because unless a Spiritual Transformation cultivator comes out, he will be the one in charge of this world.

His identity is the Grand Elder of Shadow Moon Sect and the uncle of Taoist Ruowu.

"Uncle Master, you have worked so hard to guard the Demon Abyss for so many years," Ruo Wu said respectfully to Meng Yi.

The other two also agreed at the same time.

"It's just that I feel a little lonely facing these desolate mountains and wilderness all day long, but it's not hard work."

Then he looked up at the three people and asked:
"Do you know who the person sent by Yunji Chamber of Commerce is? Why hasn't he arrived yet at this time?"

All three of them shook their heads.

The four Yuanying forces in Yunzhou City only agreed to send one Yuanying cultivator each, but the real candidate was never determined, so only their own forces knew who would come.

Suddenly, a white cloud floated over the horizon, and a young female cultivator fell out of it, with a wine gourd and a pipe on her waist. It was Miaoli Shan herself.

He landed beside the four people, greeted them, and then bowed to Meng Yi:

"Junior Miaolishan, greetings to Senior Meng!"

Meng Yi was somewhat surprised:
"Miao? But is she the little girl that old man Shan adopted more than 400 years ago?"

"My master is none other than Shan Hu, the president of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce."

Meng Yi looked at Miaoli Shan in front of him and exclaimed:
"Not bad, not bad. It only took four hundred years to reach the Nascent Soul stage. In the future, there will be a great chance for me to reach the Spiritual Transformation stage."

"Senior is so complimentary!"

After the two chatted for a while, Meng Yi turned the topic to business:
"Okay, Miao girl, has your master explained to you what this is about?"

Miaoli Shan shook his head:
"Master only said it was related to the demons, but he didn't tell me the details."

"Oh, your master is a hands-off boss, not even worried that you, a little girl, might die here accidentally.

In that case, I will tell you about it," he turned to look at the other three people, "even though you have experienced this mission, you can also listen along."

Hearing this, everyone in our group pricked up their ears.

Seeing the serious look on their faces, Meng Yi asked, "Do you know about the invasion of the human world by demons and monsters nearly ten thousand years ago?"

Several people nodded, and Miaoli Shan said:
“I have seen descriptions of it in ancient books. It is said that it was a racial catastrophe that swept across the entire human world.

The tragedy was so tragic that the immortal path of the human race was cut off. It took a long time for the human race to prosper today."

Meng Yi nodded:

"Yes, that racial war was indeed a great catastrophe in our human world.

Although our ancestors repelled the invasion of the demons and monsters in that war, they were severely injured themselves and were unable to clean up the aftermath left by the demons and monsters.

For example, the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range that stretches across the Wind and Cloud States was created by the remains of the demon clan.

For example, the Demonic Abyss secret realm behind me is a relic of the demon clan."

Miaoli Shan looked curiously at the void behind him.

'It turns out that this place is the entrance to a secret place.'

"Are we here just for this secret realm of Demon Abyss?"

Meng Yi nodded: "That's right."

"Ten thousand years ago, demons crossed over from other planes, forming a space channel. One of them is in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, and the other is behind me.

Most of the high-ranking members of the invading demon tribe were killed by our ancestors, and their cross-border passage was also destroyed.

Only a few individual demons are left in this world to serve as "sharpening swords" for our generation of cultivators, so they are not a concern."

Miaoli Shan was quite interested when he heard this. He never thought that the Wanshou Mountain Range had such an origin.

"It is a place for human cultivators to hone their skills, but why did we rarely hear of human forces attacking Yunzhou hundreds of years ago?" Miaoli Shan was puzzled, but did not ask further questions.

Meng Yi continued:

"The demons were driven away by us, but the demons are different."

He turned his back and pointed to the void ahead.

“The passage that the demons used to cross the boundary was quite mysterious. Even though our ancestors had exterminated all the demons guarding the passage, they still could not completely destroy the passage.

Ancient people discovered that even if it was violently destroyed, it would grow and repair again, and soon demons would emerge from it and wreak havoc on the world.

No matter how many methods the masters of the time tried, they still couldn't do anything about it.

This passage is like a scar left on this world, which is difficult to recover.

Under pressure from all odds, the senior gods at that time had to join forces to seal it, leaving it for future generations to resolve.

However, as time goes by, there is still no cultivator in this world who can completely solve this hidden danger.

Later generations could only continuously strengthen the seal, gradually forming this secret realm of the Demonic Abyss. The former space passage was called the Demonic Eye, where demonic energy often emerged, or some low-level monsters occasionally appeared.

In order to prevent it from becoming a powerful force, the human race's top leaders decided that Yuanying cultivators would clear out the monsters every once in a while.

A Nascent Soul cultivator is assigned to suppress the secret passage all year round to prevent the demons from making a comeback. "

There was a hint of amazement on Miaoli Shan's face, as this was all history that he had never learned from any books.

The other three, however, looked calm, probably having known the secret for a long time.

"Senior Meng? Is it possible that there are no fourth-level or even higher-level fifth-level demons crossing over into the passage?" Miaoli Shan asked curiously.

Meng Yi shook his head:

“With the current strength of the space channel, it is simply not possible to accommodate such high-level demons.

The highest is the third level, which is equivalent to my spiritual practice of forming a pill. Of course, there is no guarantee that there are any demons secretly practicing to the fourth level in the Demon Abyss.

That's why I gathered so many of you to clean up the secret realm together.

Later on, the four of you should work in pairs, and don't be left alone."

After saying this, Meng Yi took out a golden token with a single black eye painted on it.

The other four people also took out a smaller token each. The token was white jade in color, but the patterns drawn on it were exactly the same as the one in Meng Yi's hand.

Meng Yi muttered an unknown incantation, then cut his finger, and a drop of blood dripped onto the token.

In an instant, the entire token was dyed red with blood, and at the same time, golden light shone from it. Meng Yi pointed the token at the void in front of him. A dazzling beam of light shot out from the token, stirring the void in front of several people and creating ripples.

Four people followed closely behind, and a white light shot out from the token at the same time and merged into the golden beam of light.

It was as if this golden light had torn a wound in the void, and a crack several feet long appeared in front of everyone.

"Everyone, follow me in," after saying this, Meng Yi flicked his sleeves and stepped into the crack first.

The four Yuanyings looked at each other, put away the tokens in their hands, and stepped inside.

When the figures of the five people disappeared in the wilderness, the huge crack in the air healed instantly, leaving no trace.

Miaoli Shan only felt the trembling of his soul and body for a moment, and in the blink of an eye he came to a completely different world.

A white crescent moon hangs high in the sky, and the faint light it emits gives people a sense of coolness.

Black mist floated in the air around from time to time. After Miaoli Shan received it, he found that it was a power completely different from spiritual energy.

"Demon energy?"

Seeing this, Wakago explained:

"It is demonic energy, but it is a very thin demonic energy attached to the mayfly creature in the air."

After hearing his explanation, Miaoli Shan sensed the surrounding spiritual energy again, which made him frown.

"The spiritual energy is so thin, no wonder Master asked me to prepare various elixirs and spiritual stones to restore spiritual energy."

"Brother Miao, have you prepared spiritual objects to restore spiritual power? The spiritual energy in this Demonic Abyss Secret Realm is thin, and it cannot be used by Yuanying and others like us to restore our own spiritual power."

Miaoli Shan nodded.

Meng Yi turned around and looked at the few people. He raised his left hand and pointed in a direction and ordered:

“Wang Yonghong, take Chu Wenqian with you to clean up the remaining monsters on this side.

Just pay attention to clearing out the third-order minions and some of the second-order minions that are a bit scary. Ignore the first-order minions. Once you're done clearing them, rush to the Demon Eye in the middle to meet me."

The two nodded in agreement.

"As for Ruowu, you will take Miaolishan to clean up the right half, and after you are done, you will gather at the Demon Eye."

Miaoli Shan and Ruo Wu both bowed in response.

Seeing that the four of them were ready, Meng Yi said:
"If there is an accident, give the alarm immediately and the tokens in our hands will respond. In times of crisis, you can also use the tokens to escape from this secret realm of the Demonic Abyss."

Then he nodded to the four people and fled towards the center of the Demonic Abyss.

The remaining four people formed teams of two and left according to Meng Yi's arrangement.

······
Qingmu Sect, after less than a few days of mobilization, had assembled a huge team of cultivators within the sect.

Spirit boats of various colors floated in the air, loaded with disciples of the Qingmu Sect, as well as various magical instruments, talismans and other items.

Wei Zhong looked at the scene in the air and exclaimed in admiration:

"As expected of a Jindan sect that has been deeply rooted in Mangyuan Prefecture for over a hundred years. It only took such a short time to summon so many cultivators to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. I wonder what kind of promises the sect's leaders have made."

Tan Tai Lin beside him sneered:
"They are just cannon fodder. With the Blood Sea behind the scenes, I wonder how many of these Qi Refining and Foundation Building people will be able to come back alive."

Wei Zhong turned around and looked at the other person. Tan Tai Lin was dressed in an ordinary green robe, with his hair tied up in a bun on his forehead, revealing his somewhat old face.

At this time, Tan Tai Lin used some unknown means to restrain his own cultivation, and what was revealed was only the middle stage of foundation building.

Even Wei Zhong's spiritual sense could not detect any clues.

"It seems that Tan Tai Lin is determined to hide and wait for the Blood Sea Master to take action."

Wei Zhong looked at himself and found that he was still in the early stage of Jindan.

After all, they were the Jindan reinforcements invited by Qingmu Sect, and they were also bait to attract True Lord Xuehai, so there was no need for them to hide their cultivation.

There was also a small transparent bottle hanging around Wei Zhong's waist, which contained the strange blood that Tan Tai Lin had obtained from the wolf monster's body.

A jade-colored spirit boat descended from the sky, and the figure of Yu Xianglan, the master of the Dharma Hall, appeared in it.

"Please come in, both of you."

Wei Zhong and Tan Tai Lin flew up and landed on the deck of the boat.

This time, when we went to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, we naturally set off with Qingmu Zong.

After stepping into the boat, Wei Zhong discovered that there were two other Qingmu disciples on the boat, a male cultivator in a white robe and a female cultivator in a white shirt.

They were the two true foundation-building masters under the Dharma Hall, Lu Yibin and Lin Muxue.

Both of them are in the late stage of foundation building, especially Lin Muxue, who has a full aura and is full of energy and spirit, and seems to be not far from the Jindan realm.

If it weren't for the delay caused by the sect's affairs this time, I would probably be able to attempt to reach the Jindan stage in just a few months.

The other Lu Yibin was just as the rumors said, he had suffered a great disaster and damaged his own foundation. His cultivation level only remained at the late stage of foundation building, giving people the feeling that he was empty and superficial.

It is probably difficult to reach the state of Dan in this life.
When Wei Zhong and others entered, both of them stood up and saluted:
"I've met the two seniors!"

The two were already familiar with Wei Zhong's outfit of black iron mask.

The news of his victory over Yi Liu had already spread throughout the Qingmu Sect, and there were even rumors that he was a highly skilled third-level alchemy master.

With such status, even the Jindan disciples of Qingmu Sect would have to show some respect, not to mention these foundation-building disciples.

As for the two old men in green robes, they were still unsure of their identities, but since Palace Master Yu was acting respectful, the two of them could just salute them together.
