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

Chapter 219: Fourth Level Body Refining, Demonic Abyss Clearing

Since he had not obtained the information he wanted, he was presumed guilty and was directly used as a slave.

How can this not be called domineering?

At the same time, it also made Wei Zhong understand that in the eyes of these Jindan cultivators, even those in the Yuanying realm below them were no more than ants.

Even though this time it didn't involve life or death, but for Guan Shi, a cultivator whose lifespan was only two or three hundred years left, a hundred years of labor seemed not much different from death.

'And where is the Demon Abyss? Guarding it, is there an open gathering place for demons in this human world? Like the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range?'

Wei Zhong couldn't figure it out. It seemed that after he was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, he knew more and also became aware of more unknowns.

'After all, my level is still not high enough. Perhaps only when I reach the late stage of Nascent Soul can I understand the secrets of this world like Shan Gu.'

Recalling how the two great gods led Shan Gu and Meng Yi to explore the remains of the Xian Kui Sect, Wei Zhong had a deeper understanding of this information cocoon.

"If I had the cultivation base of the late Nascent Soul stage, I wouldn't be so confused. Now that I'm in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage, it's not convenient to expose myself. Even if there's an opportunity, such a rapid breakthrough will still arouse suspicion from others.

Shan Qin, who entered the Nascent Soul stage decades earlier than Wei Zhong, has not yet been promoted. How dare Wei Zhong get ahead?

"Let's keep it a secret for a few decades and see what happens."

Seeing Bai Heng and Guan Shi leaving in the distance, Wei Zhong also came out of the cave and looked at the direction of Fuyun Temple from afar. Wei Zhong was not in a hurry to take Yulian back.

"Let Fuyun Temple help take care of it for now."

This lotus is closely connected to Wei Zhong through destiny, and no one can take it away.

Wei Zhong flicked his sleeves, lightning wrapped his whole body, and fled towards Yunzhou City.

He walked through the Yunxiao Lingshan formation into the practice room, sat cross-legged with his eyes closed to practice.

Suddenly, the token flashed. He took it out and looked at it, and found out that Shan Qin had successfully broken through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

"What a coincidence!"

Continuing to read on, there are news about things outside the Yunji Chamber of Commerce.

"Nie Yuansen of Qingmu Sect successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul realm a month ago. Another Nascent Soul cultivator has emerged in the prefecture city outside the main city of Yunzhou..."

'What good luck!'

Wei Zhong was quite surprised that Nie Yuansen, who had an ordinary foundation in cultivation, could break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Similar to Song Linfang of Zhigang Palace who had made a breakthrough, he also chose to join a major force in Yunzhou City, the Shadow Moon Sect.

It should be said that the Qingmu Sect was originally under the command of the Yingyue Sect, which is reasonable.

"But this person came to my Yunji Chamber of Commerce to ask for the elixir, and he also used the Yunji Chamber of Commerce spiritual land for promotion. Has there been a gap between the Qingmu Sect and the Yingyue Sect for a period of time?"

Recalling the danger from True Lord Xuehai that day, Wei Zhong guessed this in his heart.

"However, the demonic chaos is about to start, so it would be a good thing for our human race to have a few more Nascent Soul cultivators."

The experience of Qianshui Demon Sect and the appearance of Bai Hou made Wei Zhong feel that a storm was about to come.

'I wonder if Bai Heng can get any information from Bai Hou. If we gather the power of the human race to become a god, we should be able to gain something, right?
'And I don't know where I used my inner demon cloak.'

Regarding the matter of the demon clan, the gods of the upper echelons have made arrangements, but I don’t know if they can resist the demonic threat…

While Wei Zhong was thinking in his heart, he had already immersed himself in practice again.

Five years later, Wei Zhong's "Forging Qi Method" successfully broke through and reached the fourth level. Thousands of Qi gathered around his body and wrapped Wei Zhong.

From a distance, it looked like a dense black cloud with silver lightning in it, just like a real thundercloud from the sky.

Within the black cloud, seals appeared on Wei Zhong's body, densely packed like totems.

With a strong force filling his body, Wei Zhong felt like he had a lot of strength but nowhere to use it. He wanted to find an opponent to test his strength.

After feeling it for a moment, the seal disappeared and the energy was also taken back into the body.

"Unfortunately, Jin Mei is too far behind me in terms of level to be my opponent. As for looking for other Nascent Soul cultivators in the Chamber of Commerce to fight?"

Wei Zhong shook his head.

'Keep a low profile!'

The evil is coming, so it’s better to hide a little longer.

Suddenly, a token appeared outside Wei Zhong's training room.

Wei Zhong took it off out of curiosity, probed his spiritual sense into it, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"Is it really a coincidence? The Demon Abyss is being cleared?"

Wei Zhong stood up and fled out of the training room, flying towards the Yunji Mountains.

In a hall, he met Shan Gu and Yu Tianze who had been waiting there for a long time.

"Greetings to the leader, Fellow Daoist Yu!"

The three of them greeted each other, and Wei Zhong continued to ask:

"I wonder what the task is for the Demonic Abyss Cleanup?"

Shan Gu put down the teacup in his hand:

“Strictly speaking, this matter does not fall within the mission of our Yunji Chamber of Commerce, but was conveyed by the Divine Transformation cultivator above.

"The Demonic Abyss is the place left behind when the demons crossed over and attacked our human world nearly ten thousand years ago..."

After listening to this, Wei Zhong stroked his chin:

"Where is the cross-border passage that cannot be broken? Demons often sneak in. The demonic energy inside is so dense that it squeezes out the unique space of spiritual energy..."

Seeing Wei Zhong was a little hesitant, Shan Gu couldn't help but say:
"If Fellow Daoist Wei feels that this is dangerous, you can refuse. Fellow Daoist Yu can go alone, after all, a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator is enough."

After finishing speaking, I felt that something was wrong:

"Of course, this time we are letting you get familiar with the methods of the demons, so that you can be more capable of dealing with them in the future. This can be considered as an advance rehearsal."

Wei Zhong raised his head:

"Master, is the matter of the demonic disaster a foregone conclusion?"

Single interpretation shakes the head:

"I don't know, but I heard that Senior Bai Heng captured a demon in the late Nascent Soul stage in the Western Desert. Maybe the day when the demons will attack with their entire clan is not far away!"

There was a hint of emotion in Shan Gu's words.

"In that case, I plan to go and see for myself!"

Wei Zhong agreed.

Shan Gu and Yu Tianze both nodded with satisfaction:

"We are traveling with fellows from other forces. In addition, there are late Nascent Soul cultivators guarding the Demon Abyss all year round. Our safety is generally safe, but there are still a few things that Fellow Daoist Wei needs to pay attention to."

Wei Zhong escaped from the hall and looked at the jade slip in his hand.

“The demonic energy in the Demonic Abyss is so thick that the spiritual energy is squeezed out. From the core to the outside, the spiritual energy becomes thinner and thinner, and it is unable to satisfy the needs of the Nascent Soul cultivators to restore their spiritual power.

"In this place, cultivators need to bring their own spiritual pills or spiritual stones to replenish their spiritual energy."

"This environment is not much different from a place where spiritual energy is forbidden. It is filled with evil spirits. Is this really the human world?"

"The Demon Eye at the core of the Demon Abyss is where the original cross-border passage was located. It has been left here for nearly ten thousand years and cannot be destroyed. Be careful of the demons that occasionally cross the border to come here."

Every time the Demon Abyss is cleaned up, the cultivators in the early and middle stages of the Nascent Soul are responsible for the outer periphery, and then they are responsible for the inner Demon Eye area together with the late Nascent Soul cultivators who are guarding it.

'Safety is guaranteed.'

No one has fallen here for thousands of years, but recently traces of demons have appeared frequently, forcing even the human race's high-ranking gods to be careful.

In the past, each of the major Nascent Soul forces would send out one Nascent Soul cultivator, but this time it is different. Each force must have at least one Nascent Soul middle-stage cultivator, and multiple Nascent Souls are encouraged to go on missions together.

The four major forces in Yunzhou City must have at least four mid-Nascent Soul cultivators, plus a garrison cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. This force is strong enough to deal with general accidents.

"And the guarding monk is probably watching something. I don't know if anything has happened to him during his five years here." With a sigh, Wei Zhong put away the jade slip.

Most of the cleansing of the Demon Abyss involves dealing with low-level demons, which is not difficult. Occasionally, a Nascent Soul demon will appear, but it can be resolved in an instant under the siege of everyone.

Even if an accident happened, Wei Zhong had the magic of time in his hands, so his life was safe.

"There is still half a year until the Demonic Abyss is cleaned up, so we should make some preparations."

Wei Zhong sat cross-legged and waved his sleeves to throw out a furnace:

"My spiritual power is stronger than that of ordinary Nascent Souls. It is too extravagant to use spiritual stones to replenish my spiritual power. I still have to rely on spiritual pills."

Black flames ignited at the bottom of the furnace, and Wei Zhong threw various elixirs into the furnace.

Three months passed, and Wei Zhong collected the pills and took out various spiritual materials, intending to refine several magical instruments.

"The characteristics of the Golden Thunder Sword are too obvious, and it is easy for people to associate it with the identity of 'Li Yuan'. From now on, when you are outside, you should behave honestly as a water-based spiritual practitioner. You can reveal your body-refining skills when necessary."

The color of the golden flame in Wei Zhong's hand became darker, and Wei Zhong threw spiritual materials into it one by one.

A broad sword slowly took shape.

After half a year, Wei Zhong broke through the barrier, bid farewell to the two women on Ling Island, and fled to the Yunji Mountains.

Yu Tianze had already been waiting for Wei Zhong's arrival on a spirit boat.

Wei Zhong flew over. Yu Tian was sitting cross-legged in front of a small square table in the cabin. He pushed a cup of tea towards Wei Zhong:
"Fellow Daoist Wei, please take a seat."

Wei Zhong waved his sleeves and sat down, sensing that the spirit boat was slowly moving.

"The Demonic Abyss is located in the southern part of the junction of Yunzhou and the Western Desert. With this boat speed, it will only take a few hours to sail there."

Wei Zhong nodded slowly and started chatting with Yu Tian about the mission of this trip.

"Why haven't I seen any Western Desert monks in these missions?"

Yu Tianze held the teacup:

"It's just a rotation every thousand years. Just like the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, after a period of time, our Yunzhou cultivators and Fengzhou cultivators will alternately develop it.

"It's a rule set by the higher-ups."

'Cut the leeks at different times?'

Wei Zhong couldn't help but think of this, and continued to ask:
"Besides the Demonic Abyss and the Mountain Range of Ten Thousand Beasts, do you know if there are any similar places in our human world?"

"I don't know about this. Although I traveled a lot in the early years, I have never left the three places of Ximo, Fengzhou and Yunzhou. I know a lot but not a lot, but I have never heard of such a dangerous place..."

After the two of them negotiated for a while, the spirit boat arrived at its destination and slowly stopped.

After getting out of the boat and flying into a desolate mountain range, Wei Zhong met several familiar faces there.

Wang Yonghong and Song Linfang of the Wang family.

There is also Shao Jie, the leader of the Chiyan Society, who is alone.

I don’t know if it’s because there are few Nascent Soul cultivators in the Red Flame Society, but the leader of the society did not bring other Nascent Soul fellows with him.

"He doesn't look seriously injured. It seems that the injuries he suffered many years ago have been fully recovered."

Song Linfang glanced at Wei Zhong and nodded in greeting.

Wei Zhong also nodded in response.

Yu Tianze saw that there were only five people here, and asked curiously:
"Why hasn't the always punctual Shadow Moon Sect Taoist arrived yet?"

Wei Zhong and the other man had already arrived at the designated location, and after a while, it was already past the time agreed upon by everyone.

While everyone was discussing, a flash of sword suddenly appeared in the sky.

A monk in white robe and a monk in green robe appeared.

The white-robed monk was unkempt, but his figure with a long sword on his back moved everyone present.

"Hello, Senior Ruowu!"

The people who came were Taoist Ruowu, who had just been promoted to the late Nascent Soul stage, and Che Kunlin from the Shadow Moon Sect.

Since it was a Nascent Soul cultivator who was late, naturally no one would bother themselves by mentioning the matter.

Ruowu rubbed his teeth with his fingers without any manner and said calmly:
"There is a little controversy within my sect regarding the selection of candidates for this matter, so it has delayed me for a while. I hope you can forgive me."

"Senior, your words are very sincere. With a senior leading the team, our safety will be more guaranteed. This is a great thing."

Wang Yonghong said quickly.

Including the guarding monks in the Demon Abyss, there are two Nascent Soul cultivators on this trip. Their strength and safety have been greatly increased compared to the past, which makes everyone have a relieved smile on their faces.

"Okay, enough small talk. Let's go into the Demonic Abyss!"

Everyone followed his instructions and took out a white jade token, while Ruowu held a golden token in his hand.

The similarity between each token is that there is a one-eyed pattern on it.

Driven by the spiritual power of the Nascent Soul, rays of light emanated from the token and eventually gathered together.

The spiritual light was so strong that it seemed to peel off the void in front of the eyes, revealing a passage about two meters in size.

"go!"

Everyone stepped in one after another, and only after the last person, Che Kunlin, stepped in was the passage slowly closed.

Wei Zhong frowned as he sensed the surrounding environment.

The spiritual energy is extremely thin, and is almost the same as the place without any spiritual energy.

Many fellow monks who watched from the sidelines also had unhappy expressions on their faces.

This was especially obvious for Song Linfang, whose cultivation was still at a low level and who seemed to be coming here for the first time.

If I suddenly speak:

"This Demon Abyss is really strange. The concentration of spiritual energy has dropped a lot compared to last time."

This statement shocked everyone.

"Could something unexpected have happened?" Che Kunlin asked.

If I shake my head:

"We have to ask the fellows who are guarding this place to know."

As he finished speaking, a beam of light flew over from a distance, revealing a face that Wei Zhong found somewhat familiar.

'really! ’

The latter folded his hands:
"I've met all fellow Taoists!"

Everyone returned the greetings, and Ruo Wu then asked:

"Excuse me, fellow Taoist, has there been an accident in the Demon Abyss?"

Guan Shi nodded:

“A year ago, demonic energy erupted from the Demon Eye Channel, and many low-level demons appeared at the same time.

"I tried my best to kill them, but in this Demonic Abyss with thin spiritual energy, it was difficult to use all my methods. Not long after, the Nascent Soul Demon Clan appeared. It was even more troublesome to deal with, so I asked for help from the outside world and waited for you all to come."

When monks perform spells and control weapons, they not only rely on the spiritual power in their bodies, but also on the free spiritual energy in the surrounding environment.

Without the assistance of external spiritual energy, the power of many methods will be discounted.
"Nascent Soul Demon Clan? Did they come across the border through this passage?"

If I look shocked.

Ever since the demons withdrew from this world nearly ten thousand years ago, the strength of this channel has been greatly reduced and it is unable to withstand a fourth-order existence.

Now that the passage has been restored, are the demons going to make a comeback?
