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

Chapter 192: Heavenly Light Might
It has become Wei Zhong's normal state to hide a small realm like this.

Moreover, it had been less than fifty years since Wei Zhong and Xun Yangzi last met, and it was somewhat shocking that he directly revealed his true realm, which was the late Jindan stage.

"Fellow Daoist Xun Yangzi is also not far behind, and seems to be not far from the late Jindan stage?"

Wei Zhong turned his head and saw that the other party had entered the middle stage of Jindan in the past few decades and had made considerable progress.

"Haha, it's still far away!"

Xun Yangzi laughed and said.

"Hello, Fellow Daoist Miao. I didn't expect that the person who came to the Chamber of Commerce this time was actually the disciple of Master Shan."

After walking for a while, they saw Puyang Yuanfu, the patriarch of the Puyang family. He had two small mustaches at the corners of his mouth and looked middle-aged. What was more distinctive was his slightly protruding belly, which even the loose Taoist robe could not cover.

This was the first time that Wei Zhong saw a feature similar to the beer belly in his previous life on a cultivator with such a high level of cultivation.

"In the early stage of Nascent Soul, it is indeed not easy for this outer palace to improve its cultivation."

I heard that Puyang Yuanfu has been famous for a long time. He is much older than Miaoli Shan and is almost the same age as Elder Yu in the Chamber of Commerce.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Puyang. Elder Yu from the Chamber of Commerce once asked me to bring a message...

"Also, this is my first time coming to the Shuangwu Mountains to participate in the fight for the Silver Sky Jade Dew. I hope you can give me some pointers."

"It's easy to talk about."

After the two chatted for a while, Puyang Yuanfu turned his attention to Wei Zhong who was in the lower position.

"This must be the young friend Wei Zhong that Xun'er often mentioned, right?"

Wei Zhong stood up and bowed:

"That's right, Wei Zhong has met Senior Puyang."

"Well, you are already a fourth-rank weapon refiner at such a young age, which really makes us old guys ashamed.

"In terms of combat power, he is far superior to my Xun'er. He is truly a rare talent..."

"Senior is so complimentary!"

After some pleasantries, the topic finally got back to business.

“Due to various unpredictable reasons, this opportunity has been brought forward.

"So, the direction and amount of the Silver Sky Jade Dew are difficult to predict, and may be very different from the past."

As soon as Puyang Yuanfu opened his mouth, he brought bad news, which meant that all the intelligence or information collected by Yunji Chamber of Commerce in the past would be invalid.

"I'm afraid it will all depend on our luck. If there is no chance, we will have to rely on our strength to rob it..."

"In addition, I have seen cultivators from Beiyuan in the market town. Fellow Daoist Puyang, do you know how many Yuanying from Beiyuan have come this time? And how many Yuanying from other provinces, including Yunzhou, have come?" Miao Lishan asked.

“There are two main sects coming from Beiyuan this time. One is the Tianshan Cang Ying sect. There are two Nascent Souls, one in the early Nascent Soul stage and the other in the middle Nascent Soul stage.

"The other branch is the Linhai Ice Palace. They only have one person in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. However, he has profound magical powers and a good ice-related technique. He is extremely powerful and is probably the strongest among us."

"Besides that, I don't know about the Yuanying forces in other states. As for Yunzhou, Fellow Daoist Miao should know more about the other Yuanying forces than I do."

Miaoli Shan shook his head:

"Although we four major forces are in the same city, we have not communicated to this extent. Therefore, I don't know whether anyone has come to participate in this fight."

"There are only three Yuanying enemies at the moment, which is not a lot," Wei Zhong looked up at Puyang Yuanfu, "This Puyang clan leader seems to be a competitor. There are no permanent allies in this incident. At the critical moment, it is not uncommon to compete for an opportunity."

"You and I should join forces to fight the enemy..."

"Fellow Daoist Puyang, what you said makes sense."

……

After staying in the cave at the foot of Shuangwu Lingshan Mountain for a full month, the strange phenomenon in the sky of Lingshan Mountain changed again.

The sky is like a huge dye vat of mixed pigments, leaving only the dazzling white color and the gloomy dark sky. The black and white invade and blend with each other, as if a chaotic evolution.

"Haha, it seems I'm not too late."

A man with long fiery red hair appeared above the market town, followed by two Buddhist monks in golden and red robes.

Miaoli Shan looked up at the figure in the sky with a solemn expression:
"Shao Jie."

Wei Zhong was stunned and recalled that this was the name of the leader of the Red Flame Society.

The other party is a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. It is rumored that he possesses the spiritual fire of heaven and earth, the Heavenly Liuhuo, and his strength is comparable to that of a great Nascent Soul cultivator. How could he appear here to compete for the opportunity to obtain the Silver Sky Jade Dew?

Miaoli Shan flew up, and Puyang Yuanfu also appeared from the cave with a solemn look on his face.

Obviously, the appearance of such a person was beyond the expectations of the two.

Wei Zhong made a quick calculation and found that there were at least eight Nascent Souls gathered here. Among them, the strongest should be the Beiyuan cultivator from the Linhai Ice Palace and Shao Jie from the Red Flame Society.

As for whether there are other powerful cultivators hiding, Wei Zhong is not able to know.

'It seems that the use of [Time Dao Fa] is indispensable this time.'

Wei Zhong sighed. Two years of Taoism might not be enough. He would most likely need the cultivation of the late Nascent Soul stage to seize the opportunity from these capable people.

'Just wait and see.'

"Brother Wei, do you want to join forces to explore the periphery of Lingshan later?"

Wei Zhong shook his head:

"Let's just do our own thing and don't let this opportunity ruin our relationship."

"Okay, then I wish Brother Wei..."

The two of them merged into the gathered crowd.

After looking around, he found that there were nearly a hundred Jindan cultivators gathered here, including both local cultivators from Yunzhou and cultivators from Beiyuan who were dressed in unique clothes.

"That is the Jindan of Linhai Ice Palace?"

Wei Zhong saw a group of people wearing light blue Taoist robes with snowflakes embroidered on them. The bright color was quite eye-catching among the crowd.

'It seems that except for his whiter skin and a chilly aura, he is not much different from the monks of Yunzhou.'

While Wei Zhong was looking around, the other party was also looking around. Suddenly, one of the women caught sight of Wei Zhong and lowered her head with a slightly flustered look on her face.

"Junior sister, what's wrong?"

The latter stroked his forehead, used his sleeves to avoid his gaze, and said softly:
"Master, be careful later. There are capable people among these Yunzhou cultivators. Just now, my sister's spiritual sense kept warning me, as if my soul would be torn apart if I continued to watch.

"Such intensity can only be achieved when meeting with the old seniors in the palace."

The senior brother frowned. With the junior sister's spirit, the induction would not be wrong:
"Could it be a hidden Nascent Soul?"

Then he said to his fellow disciples around him:
"Gather around me later, don't spread out, don't..."

Wei Zhong touched his face, feeling a little surprised:
"I don't think there are any scary features on my face."

The Nascent Soul cultivators in the air had already greeted each other.

"We didn't expect that we could invite Master Shao here this time. It really surprises us," Puyang Yuanfu said with a bow.

"Haha, we just came here to see the excitement. I didn't expect that we came at the right time..." Miaoli Shan listened to the two people chattering, but his eyes were fixed on the two Buddhist practitioners beside them.

"Greetings to fellow Daoists Kong Wu and Kong Ming. It seems that the sects you two belong to are very far away from Shuangwu Lingshan. How did you come here?"

The two put their hands together, and the stronger Kong Wu answered:

"The two of us were invited by Daoist Fellow Xun Huiming to discuss the Dao together. On our way back, we met Daoist Fellow Shao. We heard that there was a grand event here, so we came here..."

Miaoli Shan frowned. Although it was not uncommon for Nascent Soul cultivators to compete for opportunities across states, it was not a common occurrence.

The sudden appearance of two more Nascent Souls somewhat disturbed Miaoli Shan's composure.

On the other side, Shao Jie saw that the others had been talking for a long time, but no monk Beiyuan showed up, so he shouted to the people below:

"Fellow Daoist from Beiyuan, why are you so reluctant to come out and see me?"

The sound was like thunder, spreading throughout the entire market town and caves at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, and spreading continuously to the surrounding areas.

Three figures flew out one after another, level with everyone in Yunzhou.

Two of them were dressed in the standard style of the Tianshan Goshawk lineage that Wei Zhong had seen before.

The other one was also wearing a light blue robe from the Linhai Ice Palace, but the style was more gorgeous, and there was a spiritual light flowing on the surface of the robe. From Wei Zhong's perspective, it was at least a fourth-level middle-grade or even high-grade robe.

Her face was covered by a veil, but judging from her figure, she seemed to be a female cultivator.

"I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Xueling would come here," Shao Jie seemed to know this person and revealed her identity as a female cultivator in one sentence.

"If Daoist Shao Jie can come, why can't I come?"

The voice was low and cold, revealing a hint of distance.

Shao Jie turned his gaze to the other two...

"My name is Chi Mao, and this is my junior fellow apprentice Bi Ming."

"So they are the two Taoist friends from Tianshan Goshawk..."

The sound gradually became lower and lower, and the monks below could not hear it.

Wei Zhong stood among the crowd, staring at the sky above.

The "fight" between black and white has not stopped yet. According to past experience, this process will last at least two to three months. However, now that the time has been advanced, it is unclear whether this state can be maintained for half a month.

Sure enough, within seven days, changes began to appear in the blending of black and white.

The central part of the spiral seemed to have opened a door to another world. Dazzling skylight shone from it, illuminating the center of Shuangwuling Mountain, and then gradually radiated outwards.

"coming soon!"

Along with the light from the sky, there were also hundreds of silver droplets falling, which were the Silver Sky Jade Dew.

Seeing the spiritual creature appear, many Nascent Soul cultivators did not rush to take action.

A few anxious monks who were unaware of the situation here sneaked into the skylight, trying to grab the Jade Dew first.

But before he took a step forward, he screamed.

The robe on his body quickly melted under the sunlight and turned into ashes, and then the monk's body was also exposed in the sunlight.

The spiritual body of the Jindan cultivator could not last for half a breath before it slowly dissipated.

Only one golden elixir lasted a little longer, but only for two breaths.

"Every year there are always confused people who don't understand the situation and go to die."

This is a strange phenomenon that occurs every time the Silver Sky Jade Dew is born. It is a disaster of sky light from the distant starry sky, carrying the power of the starry sky and is extremely powerful.

Even Nascent Soul cultivators cannot withstand this light head-on. They must wait until it weakens or even dissipates before they dare to enter the Holy Mountain.

After waiting for a while, the light above finally dimmed.

The eight Nascent Soul cultivators all rushed to Lingshan, and Wei Zhong heard a warning in his ear:
"Don't fight for the spiritual object, protect yourself first. If you are in danger, you can send a message to me through the token."

This was a message from Miaoli Shan. Wei Zhong did not take it seriously. Wrapped in his robe, he followed several skilled and courageous Jindan monks into Lingshan.

The Lingshan Mountain, which was lush and green a few days ago, has changed its appearance after being exposed to sunlight.

Whether it was the low shrubs or the towering spiritual trees, they all turned into nothingness under the light of the sky, leaving only bare rocks that looked like glass.

"This is just the outer periphery of the sacred mountain where the power of the skylight is a little weaker. I wonder what the core of the sacred mountain looks like."

Wei Zhong shook his head and spread his spiritual sense. As expected, he detected the restrictions of heaven and earth recorded in the intelligence. The detection range was greatly reduced from dozens of miles to only a few dozen feet.

At this distance within the vast sacred mountain, searching for the thumb-sized Silver Sky Jade Dew is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Sure enough, it depends on luck. But the closer we get to the center of Lingshan Mountain, the greater the possibility of finding Silver Sky Jade Dew."

Wei Zhong found an uninhabited place, changed his face, and the robe on his body also changed under the control of spiritual power.

When he reappeared, he had become an old man with an aged face, as if he was a blind patient.

The black robe on his body and the cold eyes revealed that he was not someone to be trifled with, and his cultivation was displayed without reservation.

The aura of the late Jindan stage scared away many fellow practitioners passing by.

Suddenly he turned his head and saw the team of monks from Linhai Ice Palace not far away. The six of them were staring at Wei Zhong nervously.

One of the female cultivators was even more flustered. She pulled her brother's robe and said tremblingly:
"Big Brother, let's stay away from that person. Junior Sister, Junior Sister feels a little uncomfortable."

His eldest senior brother's expression was slightly solemn, and he obviously sensed the threat from Wei Zhong.

“Brother, we can’t retreat. Behind that person is the Tonghua Valley in the outer area where the Silver Sky Jade Dew is most likely to be. We can’t let it go.”

The leading eldest brother looked at the fellow brothers and sisters around him, weighed the strength of several of his own people, and seemed unwilling to give up.

But there was a swaying sound at the corner of the clothes:

"Big Brother!"

The latter sighed:

"Retreat, let us give up our place and do not conflict with this person."

"But……"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by another person in the team:
"Brother, that person seems to have gone to the center of Lingshan Mountain."

Following the sound, I looked towards Wei Zhong and saw him flying up and heading towards the depths of Lingshan Mountain.

"He is in the late Jindan stage and has just entered the area where the Yuanying is. It is very likely that he has concealed his cultivation. Fortunately, we did not conflict with him."

As for fighting against Nascent Soul after Jindan stage, the eldest senior brother of Linhai Ice Palace didn't even dare to think about it.

"Let's go and take a look at Tonghua Valley."

As he spoke, he turned to look at his junior sister and saw her nod, which meant that the man had gone far away and the threat was lifted.

The departing Wei Zhong didn't care at all about the appearance of these Jindan cultivators. The goals of both parties were different and there was no conflict.

"According to the intelligence, there are three places deep in Lingshan that are most likely to contain Silver Sky Jade Dew: Stone Spring Valley and Jade Lotus Pond..."
