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

Chapter 272: Half a Century of Seclusion, Bloody Farce

Three months later, Wei Zhong looked at the data on the panel:
【Name: Wei Zhong】

[Cultivation: Late stage of Spiritualization (eighth level, 16%)]

【Shouyuan: 2080/3000】

After Da Jin completely refined the Taihua Spiritual Stele, Wei Zhong's cultivation level improved greatly, but then stabilized.

In the following ten years, the promotion speed remained stable but still exceeded that of ordinary people.

“The late stage of the Spiritualization still needs two small levels to advance to perfection. If I stay in this world, I’m afraid it will take at most 20 to 30 years.

"Such a speed would make anyone jealous."

Stroking his chin, Wei Zhong saw the golden fish lying on the Taihua Spiritual Stele through the endless distance and sighed:
"Just by letting Da Jin refine it, I have gained so much. What will happen if I refine it directly? I am afraid I would have entered the realm of refining emptiness long ago, right?
"Of course, it's more likely that he was crushed by the spiritual tablet and couldn't escape."

He shook his head and put the thought aside.

Look intently at the eye-catching text at the bottom:
[Space Gate: Opened]

The last 3% of the space gate's progress had been loaded after three months. But Wei Zhong did not immediately go to see what was behind the space gate.

Instead, he planned to maintain a long-term retreat.

“The triple [Time Dao Fa] requires nine hundred years of lifespan. I can only use it once after my current lifespan is exhausted. Afterwards, I have to actively level up to make up for the loss of lifespan.

“It’s really not safe.”

Wei Zhong has always acted cautiously, but he is unwilling to take such a risk and go to a strange world.

"Let's first complete our Spiritual Transformation and replenish our lifespan before considering this matter."

Having made the decision in his mind, Wei Zhong came out of retreat and informed the two girls that he was about to start a long-term retreat. He left behind a spirit beast and a large amount of cultivation resources.

Seeing Xie Linghua, who had upgraded her spiritual roots to the highest grade, and Ling Ziwei, who was striving for the earth grade spiritual roots after modifying her technique, Wei Zhong gradually felt relieved.

"This retreat may be unusually long, but if you have anything important to say, you can message me directly."

"Yes! Husband."

After completing the arrangements, Wei Zhong went straight back to the void and sat cross-legged beside the Taihua Spiritual Stele to concentrate on his practice.

As for the possible communication between the two women, Wei Zhong can now use a little magic power to cast an incarnation of luck in various places in the human world, so there is no need to worry about communication.

The "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Art" circulated slowly in the body, and thin or thick spiritual currents immediately appeared in the surrounding void.

The thinnest is only the size of an ordinary person's thumb, and the thickest is enough to cover half the sky.

In an instant, the place where Wei Zhong was became a sea of ​​spiritual energy.

This is the effect of being blessed by the good fortune of a world. It is better than any spiritual land of any grade and is something that no spiritual cultivator can desire.

Twenty years have passed in a flash, and the outer cultivation world has undergone tremendous changes.

Due to the departure of many gods, the entire human world was re-divided.

The Jie family is still the most powerful in the Polar Star Sea. Yu Mao lives in seclusion on a spiritual island, teaching his disciples contentedly and has no intention of competing for hegemony.

The Fengzhou Chen family officially came to the fore and became almost the most powerful force in Fengzhou.

The entire Fengzhou Demon Sect was suppressed to the point where they couldn’t breathe.

Later, the leader of Tianji Sect, Yuchi Yu, was promoted to the level of a spirit, and was able to compete with him.

Yunzhou has the most transcendent status because of the existence of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce and the Yingyue Sect, which are on good terms with each other. It also has two great gods, Shan Gu and Cheng Ruirui, so it has the most transcendent status.

In the entire cultivation world, Yunzhou has a great say.

The largest in the Western Desert is the Fuyun Temple where Guan Shi is located. The Northern Desert is divided into several major forces, and there has not been much change unless someone transforms into a spirit.

The demons released by Wei Zhong chose a special area on the north side of the Wanshou Mountains, spanning Fengzhou, Yunzhou and Beiyuan, as their habitat to recuperate.

Originally, the cultivation world was stable and peaceful, but in the eighteenth year of Wei Zhong's retreat, a thunder disaster appeared in the Polar Star Sea.

After a while, a blood-robed figure walked out, laughing wildly.

"After more than a thousand years of planning, I have finally entered the realm of spiritual transformation."

He was none other than the True Lord of the Blood Sea who had escaped the invasion of the demon world. No, he should now be called the Venerable Lord of the Blood Sea.

It flew freely in the marginal sea area and found a black dragon rolling in the ocean.

"Brother Mo, I want to..."

Before he could finish his words, a jet of ink-black water spurted towards him.

He dodged in a panic, feeling a little angry.

"I came to negotiate a deal in a nice way, but they were so ruthless. They are just animals."

After driving the blood sea away from its habitat, the black dragon then hovered above the sea. Thinking of Xie Yuanping who had been seriously injured, anger surged in his heart.

When Jie Yuanping was in the middle stage of the Divine Transformation, Mo Jiao didn't even give him a good look. Xue Hai had just reached the Divine Transformation, so there was no chance for him to negotiate a deal with him.

“I heard that Xie Yuanping has ascended to the upper realm. It’s a pity that he has no chance to avenge the serious injury.

“As for targeting the Xie family, there is a newly promoted god in their clan, so forget it.”

"The human race is powerful, and if something serious happens, that being might even take action.

"I won't fight him, I won't fight him. Old dragon, I'd better stay in this sea and hone my skills!"

With a mutter, he dived into the deep sea.

After hitting a wall with Mo Jiao, Xue Hai was thinking about where to go when he suddenly heard a piece of news in a nearby market.

"My Great Ancestor Jie from the Polar Star Sea has also ascended to the upper realm!"

"Yes, not only Patriarch Jie, but also several great Divine Transformation cultivators from Fengzhou and Yunzhou have ascended and left. The demonic scourge has just been resolved, and more than half of the veteran Divine Transformation cultivators in our world have been lost in a short period of time."

"Except for the Chen family's Divine Transformation Master, all other Divine Transformation Masters have only completed their advancement in the past few decades. If the demonic threat comes again, however..."

"Oh, don't talk nonsense!

"All the fifth-level demons were killed by Wei Zun. It is said that he was blessed by the luck of this world. When he was promoted to the God Transformation stage, there were auspicious clouds all over the sky. With such a being suppressing the human world, how could there be any blind demons invading?"

"But Venerable Wei has not appeared in public for nearly twenty years. It is rumored that he has already followed in the footsteps of other fellow practitioners and ascended to the upper realm..."

True Lord Xuehai listened to the rumors from people nearby, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind. He concealed his identity and went to various markets to purchase information about Wei Zhong.

It turned out that the rumors were all true. Wei Zhong had not appeared for eighteen years. The last time he appeared was to inquire about an old friend, which was suspected to be his final preparation before ascending to heaven.

"All his wives and concubines are practicing in Zixia Mountain of Yunji Chamber of Commerce, and even his own spirit pets have been handed over to the two girls?"

"Has Wei Zhong really ascended?"

Xuehai crushed the information jade slip into powder, stood up and flew away.

'The most important thing on this trip is to find a place to live. Without a fifth-order spiritual vein, it will be difficult to improve your cultivation.'

In the twenty-fifth year of Wei Zhong's retreat, Chen Ronglan planned to ascend to the spiritual world.

Beforehand, he went to Zixia Mountain, hoping to meet Wei Zhong.

The news we received was that Wei Zhong had been in seclusion for a long time and had disappeared.

"If Senior Cheng can wait, we two can send a message to your husband."

The latter thought for a moment and said:
"That's all!" He then took out a jade slip, recorded some information on it and handed it to Ling Ziwei:
"Maybe Brother Wei can use the things in here. Please let Fairy Ling pass it on."

The latter nodded and saw Chen Ronglan fly away.

The next day, Cheng Ruirui from the Shadow Moon Sect ascended to the upper realm. Except for Yu Mao and Chen Gong, who were in the early stages of the transformation, all the veteran incarnations in the human world ascended.

In the 30th year of Wei Zhong's seclusion, the inheritance method of "Blood Spirit Sutra" began to gradually appear in the cultivation world, causing conflicts among the lower-level cultivators.

What's worse, hunting monks for nourishment for their own practice caused large-scale unrest.

In the thirty-fifth year, an organization called the Blood Nether Sect was born, mainly composed of cultivators who practiced the Blood Spirit Sutra.

It rose from the four places in the human world and encompassed all levels of cultivators. The number of cultivators involved was so huge that even the Yunji Chamber of Commerce was far less than that.

According to rumors, there is a divine cultivator named Blood Sea Ancestor within the Blood Nether Sect.

Therefore, it attracted many independent cultivators to join it.

Shan Gu joined forces with several gods to discuss the matter, intending to strike at the Xueming Sect, but failed to gain the support of several gods.

Only Xie Fan from the Xie family had helpful ideas, but Yu Mao, who was alone and weak, stayed out of the matter and did not want to cause trouble.

As for Guan Shi, Yuchi Yu and Chen Gong, they just watched coldly and were unwilling to get involved.

In the fortieth year, the Blood Underworld Cult became more and more rampant, and held blood sacrifices many times in the human world to provide for the practice of the cult members.

The Yunji Chamber of Commerce and the Jie Family issued a kill order, and anyone who killed the Blood Nether Sect would receive rewards from these two divine forces.

With such an attitude, even Yu Mao, who usually stayed out of it, got involved.

"Fellow Daoist Wei is still in seclusion?"

Shan Gu looked at the two women in front of him with sadness in his eyes.

Ling Ziwei nodded slowly:
"My husband has been in seclusion for forty years and has not replied. Senior Shan, please discuss this with the other seniors."

The latter sighed, and a beam of light flew over from a distance, revealing Yu Mao's figure.

Hearing that Wei Zhong was still in seclusion, he, who was always suspicious, even thought that Wei Zhong might have ascended to the upper realm, otherwise how could he not leak any information.

“The Blood Nether Cult is becoming more and more rampant. Blood sacrifices have become more and more frequent recently, and have even spread to the vicinity of this old man’s Spirit Island.

“The bloody aura caused the sea monsters to become more violent, and large areas of the sea became forbidden areas for low-level cultivators to enter.

"There will be no peace unless the Blood Nether Cult is eliminated."

Such remarks made Shan Gu frown:

"I didn't expect that a mere Nascent Soul Blood Cultivator could cause such trouble. What do Fellow Daoist Chen, Fellow Daoist Yuchi, and Fellow Daoist Guanshi say? Are you still unwilling to take action?"

Yu Mao sneered:
"Those three people are trying to get you and me to charge in the front. How could they take the initiative to attack?

"Especially Chen Gong, who even wanted to actively accept the Blood Nether Sect and treat it as an orthodox divine power. I wonder if he was kicked in the head by a donkey."

"Forget it, let the three of us take action. The location of the Blood Nether Sect's main altar has been locked. It is in the North Plains. This time we must destroy its lair and force out Blood Sea himself."

The next day, Shan Gu and Yu Mao joined forces and launched a surprise attack on Beiyuan.

Destroyed the Blood Nether Cult's lair and killed five Nascent Soul Bishops.

"The Tianshan Goshawk lineage of Beiyuan has been eroded to this extent?"

Among the five Yuanying sect members, three are from the Tianshan Cang Ying lineage, and the other two are independent cultivators.

"It's a pity that I didn't encounter the sea of ​​blood."

"You must warn your subordinate Erlang to be careful of the Blood Nether Sect's counterattack."

The news of the destruction of the Blood Nether Sect's headquarters spread in the following months.

This caused great unrest in the cultivation world, and those who suffered the most applauded loudly. Most of the followers of the Blood Nether Cult also stopped making trouble.

Xue Hai, who lived in seclusion in the Polar Star Sea, learned of this and attacked the Xie family while Xie Fan was away.

If it weren't for the Xie family's Yuanying relying on the clan's formation to fight to the death, and Yu Mao's timely support, who knows how much loss there would have been.

But even so, Yu Mao was still injured and sighed:
"I am really old. Even this young man can't compete with me."

After that, the Blood Sea attacked Polar Star Sea and Yunzhou repeatedly, making life miserable for the people.

One day, Fuyun Temple in the Western Desert.

Xuehai and Guanshi sat opposite each other:

"My Blood Nether Sect has not committed any evil in the Western Desert. The outside world has spread the news that Fuyun Temple has made great contributions in resisting the enemy. I wonder how fellow Taoist Guanshi should thank me?"

Guan Shi shook his head:
“Why do you say that, Brother Xuehai? Our Fuyun Temple has never prohibited the Blood Dao monks from entering the Western Desert, nor has it protected the Western Desert.

"If you are interested in the Western Desert, feel free to do what you want. As long as you do not offend my Fuyun Temple or its followers, I will not interfere."

Xuehai was surprised at the other party's reluctance to cooperate. How could the other party not see his obvious intention to cooperate? Or was he simply not interested?

Stand up and bow:

"In that case, I will march into the Western Desert."

He left a word and turned away.

Kong Ming walked in from outside the hall:
"Master, are you really going to let the Blood Nether Sect enter the Western Desert?"

Guan Shi shook his head and asked:
"Where is the incense temple of my Fuyun Temple going?"

The latter replied:
"The Western Desert is already dotted with large and small cultivation markets, whether it's the gathering place of independent cultivators in the south or the post-war areas in the east..."

"In that case, if we see the Blood Nether Sect, we should drive them away! We can say that they are affecting the incense collection of my temple.

"My Fuyun Temple has limited power. We just need to guard this little piece of land in the Western Desert."

"But that sea of ​​blood..."

Guan Shi waved his sleeves, left a few words and turned away:

"That Venerable Wei is not dead. Xuehai has gone too far. He will be held accountable sooner or later."

Others were still wondering whether Wei Zhong had ascended secretly, but Guan Shi, who had studied the art of luck, could sense it.

That existence always exists above the human world, overlooking the entire cultivation world below.

Kongming took the order and left with doubts.

Not long after, people from the Blood Nether Sect entered the Western Desert. Those with mediocre cultivation were strongly suppressed by the local forces, and even the Fuyun Temple took the initiative to participate.

This made Xuehai secretly curse Guanshi, the bald donkey, for being untrustworthy.

At this point, there is one more powerful force in the process of transformation into a god in a tug of war with the Blood Nether Sect.

In the following ten years, the conflicts between the Blood Nether Sect and several major forces became increasingly serious, and even many of the magic sects in Fengzhou were dissatisfied with its methods.

They took the initiative to fight back against the people of the Blood Nether Sect.

Wei Zhong watched this scene happen in the void and murmured:
“I originally thought that the Blood Spirit Scripture was also a unique spiritual method, with no advantages or disadvantages, and I planned to integrate it into the cultivation system of the human world.

“But after all, it is an evil cultivation method from the upper realm, and it is not suitable for this human world.

"Now that the cultivators in the human world have made their decision, it is time to put an end to this farce..."
