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

Chapter 265: Refining Method, Changing Battle Situation
Recalling the various remarks made by this descending monk before, Wei Zhong couldn't help but sigh:

"Sure enough, most of the monks in this world like to keep something back, myself and others are like this too."

"Fellow Daoist Wei, are you planning to refine this spiritual tablet?"

"So what if it is, so what if it isn't, does Fellow Daoist Chen still want to stop me?"

The latter folded his hands:
"Please forgive me, Fellow Daoist Wei. I naturally do not have the ability to stop you. But before that, I have a few words to say. I hope Fellow Daoist Wei can listen to them."

Wei Zhong stood with his hands behind his back, motioning for the other party to speak quickly.

Chen Ronglan took out the lion head seal:
“This item is what connects my ancestors to this spiritual tablet. It is with the help of this chapter that I was able to find the location of this spiritual tablet.

"That is to say, this spiritual tablet was left by our Chen family's ancestors, and it belongs to our Chen family..."

But these remarks could not convince Wei Zhong, who interrupted:
"Fellow Daoist Chen, you are changing the concept a bit. The former Taihua Spiritual Stele might be, but the current Taihua Spiritual Stele as the core of this world is not necessarily the case."

The Taihua Lingbei is indeed a magic weapon derived from Taihua Zhenren, the ancestor of the Chen family, and is closely related to the Chen family, but these are all old calendars from many years ago.

The current Taihua Spiritual Stele is the core of the world that is closely connected to this world, connecting the fortune and rise and fall of a world.

It is no longer something that can be described as a magic weapon. It is simply a control switch in the human world.

How can such items belong to one person?
Or, how can an individual bring about change?

Judging from Wei Zhong's observation of the Chen family and his questioning of Lei Long, it is obvious that the Chen family does not have the ability to forge such a treasure of destiny that is connected to an entire world.

The current changes in the Taihua Spiritual Stele can be attributed to the passage of time and coincidence.

The Chen family’s level of involvement in this is so high that it’s hard to even describe it as a “pusher”.

Isn’t the owner of the current Taihua Spiritual Stele born from creatures big and small in this human world?
Moreover, this spirit tablet had long been out of the control of the Chen family, otherwise there would not have been the subsequent troubles such as the fight to seize control of the spirit tablet.

The previous secret place of the spirit stele was the restraint and positioning of the spirit stele, which is also the evidence of this point.

"Over the years, the Chen family has gained a lot from this Taihua Spiritual Stele, right? We can have repaid the kindness of the previous master long ago."

As a family of incarnations that resides in the human world, the fact that the Chen family has incarnations for thousands of years is puzzling. If it weren't for the help of the Taihua Spiritual Stele, Wei Zhong really couldn't believe it.

Chen Ronglan's face froze, knowing that every word Wei Zhong said was true.

"What Fellow Daoist Wei said makes some sense, so please listen to the second sentence.

“As Daoist friend said, this stele connects a world and has long since transcended the category of ordinary magical instruments. It is simply not something that ordinary cultivators like us can refine.

“Even if Fellow Daoist Wei is favored by the Spiritual Monument, it will still be the same.

“It is like a balance, with this small world on one end and the master’s seat on the other end empty. If Fellow Daoist Wei wants to stand on it, he must be well prepared.

"Whether we can rely on the power of one person, we will have the ability to balance the scale.

"To be honest, this is also what my Chen family is very sensitive about when it comes to the Ten Spiritual Monument. For many years, we have been trying to make up for it by accumulating merits, but it's a pity that it's just a drop in the bucket..."

Wei Zhong frowned, and Lei Long's words rang in his ears:
"What this girl said makes sense. If you forcibly refine this thing, you can indeed gain great benefits from it with your Spiritual Transformation Cultivation, but you will also be dragged down by it. The most likely thing is that you will be trapped in this world and unable to ascend..."

"Are we just going to give up?"

Wei Zhong was unwilling to give up such a big piece of fat meat that everyone wanted to eat when it was right in front of him.

"It's not that I want you to give up, but I can try another approach. My Lord, have you forgotten where this shadow of the spiritual tablet came from?"

Wei Zhong thought without hesitation:

"Of course it was inspired by my huge number of merits. No, it was brought here by the Great Gold!"

He looked into the "Record of Time" and asked:
"what do you mean?"

The latter stroked the dragon's beard:

"That's right. Your Excellency's cultivation is not enough, so why not let that stupid fish give it a try. Although it is only at the fifth level, because it is a body of the true spirit of the law, its status is high enough to withstand the pressure of this world.

“As the master of this true spirit, it is not a bad idea for you to refine it indirectly through such means.

"It's just that the benefits gained from it will be exploited by the stupid fish. But this is probably not a bad thing for adults. With a world of supply, the growth rate of this fish can be even faster.

"You don't need to worry about raising the power of luck."

Wei Zhong narrowed his eyes and considered the possibility of this proposal.

Chen Ronglan thought that Wei Zhong had considered what he said and was already retreating out of fear.

But he had no idea of ​​Wei Zhong's real plan.

“If you can really reach the Mahayana realm in the future and want to follow the path of earthly immortals, you can take this world back from this fish.

"When they are weak, let them share the pressure and take what benefits they can bear from it. When they become strong, the pressure and benefits can all belong to themselves..."

Wei Zhong was increasingly attracted by Lei Long's proposal, but when he turned his attention to Dajin, he couldn't help but wonder:
"Can Dajin do it well?"

Although it has intelligence, it is still like a three-year-old child. As the master of a world, isn't it a bit difficult for it?

Wei Zhong couldn't help but lower his head and grab the short beard above his chin with his right hand.

"Since Fellow Daoist Wei has been favored by the Spiritual Monument, why not cooperate with my Chen family...

"Fellow Daoist Wei will not be left out of the benefits in the future. There will be treasures for cultivation, ways to ascend to the heavens, including after ascending to the spirit world, my Chen family can also provide a place for cultivation for fellow Daoist..."

Wei Zhong interrupted:

"Fellow Daoist Chen, there is no need to say more. I have made up my mind. If you have anything else to say, please say it. If not, please leave quickly. I have something important to do!"

As soon as Chen Ronglan stopped talking, for some reason the attitude of the person in front of him suddenly changed.

"Did my words irritate him?"

He straightened his expression and asked again:

"Fellow Daoist Wei really wants to refine this stele?"

"Exactly!"

Chen Ronglan shook his head slowly:
"I will be fine, but the stubborn old men in my Chen family may not be so sure. Many of them regard the spirit tablet as their own and will not allow others to touch it.

"If you steal my love from now on, I'm afraid you will have a lot of trouble after you ascend to the spirit world."

Wei Zhong narrowed his eyes:

"Are you threatening me, fellow Daoist?"

"It's not a threat, it's just advice. I hope you will consider it carefully, Brother Wei."

After saying this, he did not continue to persuade Wei Zhong, but turned around, cast a spell and left.

"Don't believe what this little girl says. With this stupid fish as a bridge, as long as you change your appearance in the spirit world, no matter how powerful the Chen family is, they won't be able to find you.

"Or maybe it's better to just kill this girl and not let the news get back to the spirit world..."

Wei Zhong pondered for a moment and slowly shook his head:
"Put this matter on hold for now. With the Demon Realm facing a powerful enemy, it is not convenient to push the Chen family to the opposing side as well."

Taking out the phantom of the spirit tablet in his arms, Wei Zhong summoned Da Jin and stuffed the phantom into his mouth.

Instructed Yu Leilong:
"You will teach it about refining."

Then his spiritual consciousness spread throughout this empty space, taking charge of security matters.

……

At the moment of stalemate on the Demon Eye battlefield, a black cloud suddenly condensed in the sky, stretching for hundreds of miles, seemingly endless.

"Thunder tribulation?" The cultivators in the field thought that someone else was going to go through the thunder tribulation of advancement.

But when Lin Yun sensed that it was not the power of heaven but a heavy demonic energy, his expression suddenly changed:
"Oh no, there's a big demon..."

Before he could finish his words, a crackling sound was heard, and the space where the black cloud was located continued to shatter, forming chaos above the battlefield.

An old man walked out slowly from it. It was Mitian who returned from the land of void.

"With Fellow Daoist Chen holding him back, how could this person come here? Could it be?"

Lin Yun suddenly had a bad guess in his mind and his expression changed.

Xie Yuanping and Fairy Yihua were even paler, knowing that this person's appearance would lead to the collapse of the war situation.

His strength is definitely not something that anyone present can contend with.

Even if everyone joins forces, they may not be able to gain any advantage.

What's more, he is not alone, he has many demons under his command.

"Everyone retreat, retreat to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, Fengzhou..."

Mi Tian's strength is so great that it is even difficult for people to muster the will to resist.

Lin Yun could only think of using the natural dangers to temporarily preserve the power of the creatures in this world, buy time, and gain help.

As soon as he finished speaking, groups of monks gathered together, abandoned their opponents, and flew away to the rear.

Whether they were in the foundation-building stage, the core-forming stage, or even the Nascent Soul stage, they all chose to retreat at this moment, intending to leave this war-torn land.

If any demons dared to pursue them, Taoist Lin Yun would raise his sword and slash, leaving a sword mark spanning a hundred miles beneath the feet of the cultivators.

During this time, countless demons were killed and wounded, which gave many human cultivators the opportunity to escape.

Turning to look at the Flower-Moving Fairy:

"Don't hide your immortal vine seeds anymore, scatter them all over this area!"

The latter's face darkened, knowing that Lin Yun had made the final decision.

Abandon Yunzhou and even the Western Desert.

Once the vine seeds spread unchecked, both continents would undoubtedly be infected.

This is even at a level that cannot be reversed by the power of human cultivators.

This move is undoubtedly cutting off one's own flesh to survive. No, "survival" is a nice word. It can only be described as hanging on.

Lin Yun looked at the many Jindan cultivators. Except for Guan Shi who had just been promoted and had some reluctance and anger in his eyes, the others had normal expressions, and it was obvious that they had expected this.

"Cover the retreat of the youngsters, leave it to me!"

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Lin Yun!"

……

The spirit boats are like advancing ants on the land, spread all over the country.

The black torrent that was chasing after them from behind, the spirit boats that crashed from time to time, and the screams of the monks before their death, mixed in like discordant notes.

"Fellow Daoist Yu!"

Shan Qin screamed in surprise, and saw Yu Tianze's body pierced by the demon bone sword and stabbed into the ground.

The latter's spiritual power surged and he tried to break free.

The bone arrow in his chest exploded, and the fragments smashed his internal organs.

What’s worse is that the Nascent Soul in his body has fallen into a semi-dormant state due to excessive consumption of mana.

Looking at the spirit boat getting farther and farther away and the demons surrounding him, he knew there was no way he could survive.

He wiped the blood off his face and chuckled:
"I have practiced for a thousand years and I have lived long enough. It is no pity to die here now."

He stretched out his hand and grasped the heavy sword beside him, a look of determination appearing on his face.

Shan Qin and others wanted to step forward to lend a helping hand, but more and more high-level demons came from nearby, and it even reached a point where they could hardly resist.

Miaoli Shan entered from the group of demons, grabbed his arm, and said in a shocking voice:

"go!"

"But!"

Shan Qin was still hesitant when he suddenly heard a loud bang. A mushroom cloud rose from not far away, blowing away many nearby demons. The fierce gale it created could even be heard dozens of miles away.

The physical body, the Nascent Soul, and even the magical weapon all exploded.

There was a trace of sadness in the eyes of the two girls, and then they took the opportunity they had fought for and fled.

This was not the first Nascent Soul cultivator to die in this war. Many Nascent Soul cultivators had died at the hands of the devil before.

Even Meng Yi, who was a great Nascent Soul cultivator, had lost his physical body and was only able to allow his severely injured Nascent Soul to escape. He is now in a coma.

Half of the cultivators from Beiyuan who came to support were killed, and the native cultivators from Yunzhou, the Buddhist cultivators from Western Desert, and the magic cultivators from Fengzhou also suffered heavy losses.

Even though the evacuation had been prepared long ago, when it actually happened, the degree of tragedy still exceeded the expectations of the cultivators.

Mitian's appearance disrupted all plans.

A space crack appeared, and Yu Mao's body suddenly solidified. With the sound of flesh and blood tearing, it was split into two halves from left to right in the middle.

"Friend Yu!"

Xie Yuanping took the attack from the fifth-stage late demon, and his eyes widened when he saw this scene.

As both of them are Polar Star Sea Gods, they have a very good personal relationship. Now, how can Xie Yuanping be willing to watch his fellow Taoist die in front of him?

The cracked body of the deity suddenly made a series of rustling sounds, and the robe and body instantly turned into wood, with vines and flowers even growing out of the internal organs and bones.

Yu Mao's figure reappeared from several miles away, his face full of panic, as pale as a dead person, his breath fluctuating, as if he was about to fall to the Nascent Soul stage in the next moment.

He actually used the technique of substitution to dodge the attack, but judging from his condition, the price he paid was not small.

Then another space crack appeared not far away.

"besides?"

As he was horrified, a delicate hand reached out and crushed the blow.

A figure in white rose into the air, and a seal in his hand slowly spun and expanded, before smashing down towards the black clouds above his head.

Two figures flew out from it, they were Mi Tian who was at ease, and Lin Yun who was bleeding profusely.

"You are such a fool, if you had returned to the upper realm on your own initiative, I might have let you live. But since you are seeking death, you can't blame me."

The black box in his hand appeared, and a bright starlight appeared in the daylight.

It fell down and headed straight for where Chen Ronglan and the others were.

Lin Yun looked up, his severely injured body trembling and feeling fear from the blow.

At this moment, a colorful cloud appeared from the void and took the attack.

Then it continued to expand, forming a rivalry with the black devil cloud...
