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

Chapter 130 Mutation
Wei Zhong had no idea that the opportunity in the secret realm was about to fail.

Just as he thought in his heart, at this moment, the focus of practice should be on stability.

Now that resources are abundant and qualifications are not restricted.

Wei Zhong devoted himself to cultivation wholeheartedly.

He only hoped to enter the Nascent Soul stage in the near future to enhance his ability to protect himself. In this way, even if the war between humans and demons broke out, Wei Zhong would no longer be a small soldier in this world with his cultivation.

At the Nascent Soul level, he is a well-known top figure even in this vast Yunzhou.

Wei Zhong might even have a chance to use the [Taoism of Time] to reverse the war situation.

Of course, these are all later stories. Now Wei Zhong is just a hardworking monk in the early stage of Jindan.

In the cave, a new rune appeared in front of Wei Zhong.

"The Cloud-Leaping Technique has finally reached the peerless level."

This is a magical rune that Wei Zhong condensed again.

This rune has the effect of haste and breaking through spells. It is suitable for refining flying instruments and can even be used to refine forbidden cones.

As early as when he reached the Grandmaster level, Wei Zhong discovered that this technique had the ability to break through spells. It could be used to penetrate some low-level formations, or avoid damage from some low-level spells.

This is exactly applicable to the forging of the Ban-Breaking Cone.

"The process of refining the Forbidden Breaking Awl is complicated and difficult, so we need to take our time."

Wei Zhong already had the methods to refine the first to third level Forbidden Breaking Cones, but due to time constraints he had not started refining them.

After all, for Wei Zhong's Jindan cultivation, the first and second level formations are hardly effective, and the third level formation is not a threat at all under the crushing of [Time Dao Fa].

Therefore, Wei Zhong was not in a hurry to refine this thing.

Now, there are as many as four magic techniques that have achieved breakthroughs to the ultimate level. In a short period of time, I can make good use of them to improve my weapon refining skills while practicing.

Wei Zhong looked at the runes in front of him and planned to refine a flying spirit boat first.

Take out some monster materials obtained from the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, as well as some collected third-level spiritual materials.

The golden flame in Wei Zhong's hand ignited, and each piece of spiritual material melted into thick spiritual liquid...
A few months later, a brand new flying boat appeared in the cave.

The flying boat is light yellow in color, ten feet wide, and can be controlled by spiritual power to any size.

Not only are there soaring cloud runes drawn on it, but there are also flying runes engraved on it, which are used to accelerate the spirit boat at critical moments.

The Throwing Rune text is an offensive rune that does not take into account the damage caused by thrown objects.

Using it on a spirit boat is a great test of the spirit boat's strength.

Under normal circumstances, the spirit boat could achieve a very fast escape speed, but it was only slightly slower than the speed of Wei Zhong's Cloud-Leaping Technique at his current early Jindan stage.

But once the flying rune is activated, the escape speed will double and can be maintained for a hundred breaths, which is definitely an explosion beyond the Jindan level.

The price of such a powerful escape speed is that it will cause serious damage to the spirit boat.

In the worst case, the spiritual patterns of the spirit boat will be worn out, and in the worst case, it will disintegrate directly.

Even if the spirit boat was barely able to maintain its integrity.

Afterwards, the runes on the spirit boat need to be re-engraved and the boat body also needs to be inspected, which is very time-consuming.

So it is a last resort measure.

In order to successfully perform this flying technique, Wei Zhong specially engraved a lot of other runes on the spirit boat to make the spirit boat more solid in order to reduce losses.

After the spirit boat was successfully refined, Wei Zhong came out of seclusion again, only at this moment Ling Ziwei had already returned from Zhigang Palace.

After talking with him, Wei Zhong also learned an important piece of news.

Recently, a master from Yunzhou City came to Zhigang Palace.

"Could it be that he is the invited array master?"

Ling Ziwei nodded:

"Probably. He is a white-bearded old man, with a cultivation level of the middle stage of Jindan. Song Linfang calls him Lihua Zhenren.

Everyone in the Zhigang Palace treated him with great respect, as if they were asking for something.

But I haven’t had much contact with it, so I don’t know its roots.”

Wei Zhong stroked his chin, with an inexplicable gleam in his eyes.

"Song Linfang couldn't wait any longer. She found out that we refused to help her for a few months, but she already asked for another expert. Could it be that the injury she suffered from the previous True Dan shortened her lifespan?"

The more Wei Zhong thought about it, the more possible it seemed to him. A cultivator in the late Jindan stage used the method of driving the true elixir to avoid a fatal disaster.

But this method cannot be performed easily. If you are not careful, you might use some means that consume your lifespan while using the true elixir.

Otherwise it would not be enough to explain his anxiety.

"Let it go, this kind of Nascent Soul opportunity is not for us.

If Song Linfang is so anxious, she might fall flat on her face.

There are puppets outside the formation that are powerful enough to rival those in the late Jindan stage, and who knows what else exists inside the formation."

Wei Zhong kept shaking his head when he said this, obviously not optimistic about it.

It would be fine if we invite a Nascent Soul Formation Master, but we wouldn't be afraid of getting caught in this secret realm together with a Formation Master in the middle stage of the Core Formation Stage.

"My husband, what you said makes sense!"

"Okay, we don't need to pay attention to it, just do your best.

Linghua has been busy practicing to reach the middle stage of foundation building recently, and I have other things to do, so I need you to take good care of me."

There was some surprise in Ling Ziwei's eyes:

"Finally reaching the middle stage of foundation building?"

Wei Zhong nodded:

"This is a retraining. It will take a few years to recover the original level of cultivation, so it will naturally be faster than the first time.

With the large amount of spiritual objects I provided, and the speed increase, we have finally reached the edge of a breakthrough."

"My husband really dotes on sister Ling'er," Ling Ziwei said mischievously.

Wei Zhong knocked his head unhappily, then returned to the cave and began to consult on the method of refining the Forbidden Breaking Cone.

To Gang Palace,
Song Linfang and others were drinking with a white-bearded old man, and they were full of compliments as they passed the cups around.

The old man greeted him with a smile. Not far away, a young monk was sticking to Peng Susu, who blushed at his few words.

I don't know if it was because of the alcohol or because she was just shy by nature.

This young man is actually the descendant of the white-bearded old man Lihua Zhenren, and his name is Wang Bofeng.

He is in the middle stage of foundation building, his dress and temperament are polite, and his conversation is also elegant.

"Is Sister Su'er's formation really that powerful?" Wang Bofeng asked with a smile.

Although Peng Susu was somewhat resistant to this intimate address, she endured it for the sake of Lihua Zhenren, nodded and replied:

"That formation is extremely mysterious. I can only take a glimpse of the surface of the formation, but I have no idea how to break it."

Wang Bofeng looked at the person in front of him, his eyes filled with admiration.

Peng Susu has already reached the level of a third-rank formation master at such a young age that Master Lihua praised her endlessly and even had the idea of ​​taking her as his disciple.

This time, I brought my descendant Wang Bofeng here to allow him to have more contact with them.

Unexpectedly, this boy fell in love with Peng Susu at first sight, so Master Lihua simply went with the flow and wanted to promote this marriage.

However, before proposing marriage, the two of them need to get used to each other more. And the matter of the secret realm method also needs to be explained to Zhigang Palace.

Song Linfang was well aware of Master Lihua's idea and was happy to make it happen.

After all, the other party is from the Wang family of Yunzhou, a well-known Nascent Soul force in the province, a body refining family, and possesses the "Body Forging Art", a supreme body refining method that directly reaches the fifth level.

It is also an alchemy family that produces a large number of precious elixirs for body cultivation. Alliance with it will bring many benefits to the Zhigang Palace, which focuses on body cultivation.

Song Linfang privately told Peng Susu not to miss this good opportunity.

Although Peng Susu was weak by nature, she knew that such an opportunity was rare.

In the Zhigang Palace, Peng Susu's formation skills are already the highest. Without the guidance of a high-level formation master, it would be difficult for her to move forward.

Only by learning from other high-level formation masters can there be a possibility of improvement.

And Master Lihua is a senior formation master among the third level. Recently, there are rumors that he has set up the lower half of a fourth level formation, and there are signs that he has broken through to the fourth level.

Being taught by such a monk is exactly what Peng Susu longs for.

Looking up at the young monk who was chatting with her, after spending the past few days together, Peng Susu found that this person was also quite good.

His every word and action reveals his extraordinaryness, and his character and appearance are impeccable.

It can be regarded as an excellent choice for a Taoist companion.

The conversation between the two below was seen by the Jindan cultivators above, and they all looked satisfied.

"Fellow Daoist Song, how about marrying Su Su to my Bo Feng? I can accept her as my last disciple."

Master Lihua put down the wine glass in his hand and said so.

Song Linfang did not refuse, nor did she agree directly:
"If Susu has no objection to this, I would naturally be happy to see it happen."

"Haha, then it's settled. After resolving this formation issue, I will prepare the betrothal gifts."

Several people clinked glasses and chatted with each other, as if they had already made up their minds about this.

A few days later, the group of people from Zhigang Palace fled in one direction for a hundred miles, away from the Luo River, and came to a deep mountain forest where cultivators were rarely seen.

Song Linfang pointed ahead and said:
"Daoyou Lihua, the secret place is right here."

The old man looked forward with a gleam in his eyes, and did not find anything different.

"It is indeed an extraordinary secret place. My spiritual eyes can't even reveal the slightest clue."

Song Linfang smiled:
"This secret realm still needs a special method to open, please wait for a moment, fellow Daoist Lihua."

After saying this, Song Linfang and Xu Xianliang took a step forward and took out a pair of white and black jade pendants.

Black and white combine to form a complete round jade.

The two of them injected their spiritual power into it together. White lines appeared in the black jade, and black spiritual light spread in the white jade, forming a pair of yin and yang eyes.

As if affected by the jade pendant, the surrounding environment also became slightly different.

The sky above was slightly dim, as if it was covered by a layer of dark clouds. But when I looked up, I found that there were no clouds in the sky, and the sun was hanging high in the sky.

"Sister Su'er, look, there's a new moon in the sky," Wang Bofeng said in surprise.

This is a silver crescent moon, emitting bursts of cool and clear spiritual light.

The activation of this formation actually caused some changes in the celestial phenomena observed in the surrounding area.

Peng Susu had seen this kind of scene many times, so she was not surprised. However, Wang Bofeng found it a little strange when he first saw it.

Only Master Lihua's expression became a little more solemn.

As an experienced member of the Wang family, he naturally knew the significance of this phenomenon.

This alone can cause small-scale celestial phenomena changes when the secret realm is opened.

Although these were only changes observed by the monks, they were enough to illustrate the complexity of this secret realm.

At this moment, Master Lihua regretted not inviting a few good friends or one or two clansmen to come here with him.

However, there was no chance to regret now, so he took out several formation plates from the storage bag and put them in his sleeve.

These are his most valuable treasures. Various formations are drawn on the formation plate. They can be activated by injecting a little spiritual power and can be used in various emergencies.

He turned around and looked at Wang Bofeng, saying:
"Bo Feng, you will stay here in the outside world and pick us up later."

Glancing at Peng Susu beside him:
"As for Susu, we still need your cooperation to break the formation, so come in with us!"

"Yes!"

Wang Bofeng didn't know what the intention of the arrangement was, but his daily habits made him subconsciously follow the arrangements of his elders.

Peng Susu had a certain degree of understanding of this formation, and as one of the only two formation masters present, there was naturally no reason for her to refuse.

Master Lihua looked back and saw that with the combined efforts of Song Linfang and Xu Xianliang, a door gradually emerged in the void.

It is carved with a dragon head and a phoenix tail, which looks very impressive.

Lihua felt even more regretful.

Song Linfang took the jade pendant into her hand:

"Daoist Lihua, let's go in together."

The latter nodded, and the group of four walked through the light gate and disappeared.

Only Wang Bofeng was left in the outside world.

After a few breaths, the door slowly dissipated like bubbles. Wang Bofeng was not surprised, as he obviously knew about this change in advance.

He found a cave on the surrounding mountain walls, sat down cross-legged and waited for everyone to return.

In the secret realm, four figures emerged.

Lihua looked around and saw only uneven and extremely broken rock slabs.

It seems that a great battle had taken place here before, leaving the surrounding area in ruins.

Looking up at the sky, I saw not the sun, but a cool crescent moon hanging in the sky, which seemed to be exactly the same as the strange scene seen in the outside world.

Looking from afar, a layer of spiritual light appeared directly in the sky, with clouds and mist rolling above it, showing its extraordinary beauty.

Song Linfang pointed at the light shield and said:
“Daoyou Lihua, that’s where the protective formation is.

We have cleared out all the puppets in the outside world, and only one formation is left at the core, and we still need your help."

Lihua's face brightened a little after hearing this. As a formation master, he was not very good at fighting.

Even when fighting with others, one has to use expensive items like formation plates which consume a lot of spirit stones and the price is not cheap.

"Then go and have a look!"

Once it was finalized, the four of them moved closer to the formation...
Wang Bofeng waited outside the formation for more than a month. During this time, he drove away several Qi-refining monks who had mistakenly come here. Apart from that, no other accidents occurred.

Just as he was waiting, a strange vision appeared before his eyes again, and the dragon and phoenix door opened again.

Among them, several people appeared in a miserable state.

Peng Susu's robe was torn, blood from the corner of her mouth had stained her chest red, and she was unconscious and held in Song Linfang's arms.

Xu Xianliang's face was pale, his left arm was broken, and he was holding the remaining arm in his right hand.

Only Song Linfang and Lihua Zhenren looked a little better, but they also showed fear on their faces.

Wang Bofeng was shocked when he saw this, and hurried forward, only to hear his elder's resentful words:

"Fellow Daoist Song, you have caused us so much trouble this time!"
