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

Chapter 284 Leaving the Fountain of Law, Kyushu Spiritual Contract

Thinking back to the turmoil that Chang Pingnan mentioned, Wei Zhong began to feel doubtful.

"I have occasionally heard of this matter, but I don't know the details. Can Fellow Daoist Miao reveal a few things?"

The latter sighed:
"I don't know where this little thief came from, but he actually spread the news that the head of our Taofang Pavilion was about to be promoted to the Hedao, which caused all the major forces to target him for no reason. Now it has become difficult for our pavilion to do business..."

Wei Zhong was stunned:
"Is it true? There must be a reason for everything, I'm afraid it's not fake!"

Even Wei Zhong, an unrelated person, thought so, not to mention other major forces that had interests or even other competitive relationships with Taofang Pavilion.

The main focus is to take precautions before things happen.

It is no wonder that the Huanjian Sect would take Wei Zhong's Zixia Dan in order to impact the Yuqing Dan market of Taofang Pavilion.

In the entire Baifeng Spiritual Realm, only the core Feiyu Immortal City has well-known Hedao cultivators, while the periphery is just the territory occupied by various major Lianxu forces.

Since then, we have tried our best to prevent the emergence of Hedao and dominate all the lands.

What's more, Taofang Pavilion, which makes a living by trading spiritual objects, needs a larger territory for development.

"Is this really false?"

Miao Lingmei glanced at Wei Zhong:
"Even Fellow Daoist Wei said so. Is that true..."

Wei Zhong laughed and changed the topic elsewhere. He muttered a little and confirmed that there was no chance to buy the precious pill directly. Then he said goodbye and left Taofang Pavilion.

Walk out of Taofang Pavilion from the surveillance of the Huanjian Sect.

Wei Zhong was not worried at all.

It is very unusual for one person to be proficient in alchemy. Even the Huanjian Sect would not believe that the magical instruments in Taofang Pavilion were made by Wei Zhong.

The other party probably thought that Wei Zhong was coveting the beauty of fellow Taoist Miao Lingmei. After all, with her appearance and temperament, she could indeed be regarded as one of the great beauties in Faquan City.

He walked leisurely along the streets of the city, visited several large shops and the market for independent cultivators, and then passed by Chunxiang Tower.

Seeing the female cultivator waving at him in gorgeous clothes, Wei Zhong thought for a while and decided to leave and return to Linhuichuan.

At the same time, the head of the Fantasy Sword Sect, Wei Yuesheng, and his disciple Xie Jibang also learned the news of Wei Zhong's return.

"Master, this Wei Zhong went to Taofang Pavilion again."

After hearing his disciple's report, Wei Yuesheng frowned:
"Miao Lingmei is indeed pretty, but she's not enough to make me crazy."

He looked thoughtful and then added:
"Is there any young disciple in the sect who can match the taste of this Divine Transformation?"

"This..." Xie Jibang really wanted to say that he didn't understand Wei Zhong's preferences either.

"Forget it, go pick one or two and make sure to tie them tightly to my Huanjian Sect."

"Yes, disciple, take the order."

Before long, a spirit boat led by Xie Jibang flew to Wei Zhong’s base in Linhuichuan.

After unlocking the magic circle, Wei Zhong caught a glimpse of the beautiful girl jumping down from the spirit boat, and a strange feeling emerged in his heart.

"Has the Phantom Sword Sect confirmed my reputation as a pervert, which I used as a cover-up?"

It has to be said that the female cultivators he selected all have their own characteristics, some are plump and some are thin, and all are of superior appearance. If they were women of clean status, Wei Zhong might really be attracted to them.

But Wei Zhong knew that these female cultivators were all from the Illusion Sword Sect and could not be touched.

Sure enough, Xie Jibang explained:
"There are many disciples in the sect who admire my style and are pestering me, their eldest brother, all day long, wanting to meet with them and discuss Taoism.

"Well, I'm taking this opportunity to gather everyone together. I hope Fellow Daoist Wei is satisfied."

"Your sect really overestimates me," Wei Zhong sighed, feeling more and more that he could not stay in the Huanjian Sect.

'Anyway, I have no hope of breaking through to the Void Refining Realm in the short term, and I don't have such a high demand for spiritual land. The Illusion Sword Sect is so eager to control me, I'm afraid they will soon be desperate, so I might as well leave, just leave.'

"In that case, I will accept this great gift."

With a fist clenched in thanks, Xie Jibang left with satisfaction and reported the good news to his master.

Wei Zhong saw the latter escaping away and instructed the women:
"There are a few spiritual fields on the mountainside. Go and take care of them. I will arrange accommodation for you in the evening."

After leaving these words, Wei Zhong disappeared without a trace.

"Hey, Senior..."

There was only a sigh.

“I’ve already gotten enough spiritual stones and spiritual objects from the Illusion Sword Sect, but I still have no idea what’s needed for the Void Refining Stage. It seems like there will be no chance unless I join their sect.

"The same is true for Taofang Pavilion. Perhaps we should go to Guangji City, where Taofang Pavilion is based. Rumor has it that a great turmoil is about to unfold here. There may be a chance to obtain the treasure of Lianxu.

"If it really doesn't work, we can only head towards Feiyu Immortal City."

Hiding his figure and secretly taking away the Xuanxu Seven Illusions Formation, Wei Zhong cleaned up this spiritual place and left secretly.

This time, he changed his appearance and used the [Taoism of Time] to conceal his aura.

Sure enough, that prying gaze never appeared on Wei Zhong again.

They left calmly until night, when they still did not see Wei Zhong, so they went up the mountain to look for him. Seeing that the building was deserted, they hurriedly called the eldest senior brother of the sect.

Wei Yuesheng and Xie Jibang arrived together and found that the concealing formations here had been replaced with ordinary illusion formations that were distracting. There were no valuable spiritual objects in the mountains anymore, only things that were not worth any spiritual stones.

After asking the elder in charge of surveillance, he learned that the latter had no idea of ​​Wei Zhong's departure, and the formation covering the entire Linhuichuan had no reaction at all.

"Just let him get away like that?"

Wei Yuesheng became impatient and flew into the air. The enormous pressure of a Void Refining cultivator emanated from him, covering the entire Faquan City. He used his spiritual sense to probe downwards, but unfortunately, he could not find any trace of Wei Zhong.

With a muffled groan, he fled directly out of the city and explored the surroundings.

"The power of refining emptiness is truly terrifying!"

In a teahouse in the city, Wei Zhong saw what Wei Yuesheng was doing and said with emotion.

I heard the monks around me muttering:

"What happened to Sect Master Wei today? He is so powerful that he is shocking the whole city. Could it be that some expert has offended the Illusion Sword Sect?"

"Alas, it's hard to say. The Huanjian Sect has been at odds with the Taofang Pavilion recently. Maybe it's..."

"..."

Wei Zhong heard people talking around him, but no one was talking about him.

After all, Lin Huichuan Wei Zhong has been almost invisible in Faquan City over the years, and only a few people know that the Purple Cloud Pill that is sold well in the Huanjian Sect comes from his hands.

After a while, Wei Yuesheng returned from outside the city. Wei Zhong did not leave in a hurry, but found a place to rest. He did not leave until the early morning of the next day with the group of monks.

Sensing the probing gazes all around him, Wei Zhong yawned without feeling nervous at all.

"It's true that he has lived long enough to act boldly."

Wei Zhong was fearless regarding the two great Void-Refining masters of the Illusion Sword Sect, and there was absolutely no possibility that he could be stopped by them.

Following the markings on the map, Wei Zhong gradually headed towards Guangji City.

Inside the gate of Huanjian Sect, there was a big disturbance because of Wei Zhong's departure. A group of people in charge of monitoring were severely punished, and even Xie Jibang was fined and had a number of cultivation resources confiscated.

On the Fajianling Mountain, Gu Shuping was even more furious when she learned that Wei Zhong had secretly escaped. The dragon's panting made Wei Yuesheng dare not even make a sound.

"You just let him get away like that, what do you do for a living?"

"I am guilty, and the person in charge of this matter in the sect will also be punished..."

"Punishment, what's the point of punishment? Can it be exchanged for Dragon Blood Pill?"

The dragon's tail swept Wei Yuesheng's body out of Lingshan, spitting blood, but he did not dare to resist at all.

He returned to Gu Shuping and bowed:

"The alchemist in the sect is currently analyzing the Dragon Blood Pill. With time, they will be able to produce a similar replica, but the efficacy will probably be much lower."

Gu Shuping's eyes were cold, and after a while she said:
"Well, I still can't avoid taking a risk.

"I will not pursue the loss of the Dragon Blood Pill, but there must be no more mistakes in the matter of Taofang Pavilion."

"Yes, I have already reached an agreement with the Le Family, the Shahe Sect, and several other powerful forces. We will put pressure on Taofang Pavilion soon. Please rest assured, Grandmaster."

The latter nodded lightly and disappeared into the Lingshan Cave.

Wei Yuesheng left with a heavy burden on his shoulders. When he returned to the sect, he received news that the dragon blood pill had failed to be replicated, and he smashed a hall of spiritual objects...

At this time, Wei Zhong found a safe wild forest along the way, opened the door of space, and rushed to the demon world again.

Wei Zhong took a step forward inside the black stone forest, and a roar of beasts came from not far away.

After using his spiritual sense to investigate, he discovered that it was the cultivator from Zhonghu Defense City.

"We have fought all the way here. It seems that because of my actions, Green Forest Sea has completely become the back garden of Zhonghu Lake."

Flying up and appearing in front of everyone, Wei Zhong headed towards the vicinity of the defense city.

"This must be Senior Jie, right? It is said that he is very powerful, even stronger than Fairy Huang. He loves hunting dragon beasts. I never thought I would meet him here..."

"Hehe, this person is a cultivator from another world, you wait..."

"Fellow Daoist, you are a bit behind in the news. There is news coming from Jiuzhou. It seems that we have reached some kind of cooperation with them. Maybe in the future we will become one family..."

Wei Zhong could no longer hear the discussions behind him and returned to the familiar Lingshan. Soon, Zhonghu Defense City learned of Wei Zhong's return.

The fiery red light flew over, revealing Huang Shuya's figure:

"Fellow Daoist is finally back."

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Mr. Huang, but is there any news from within Jiuzhou?"

"That's right. The top leaders of our Jiuzhou Association have reached a consensus and agree to Daoist Jie's request. Daoist Jie, please read the spiritual contract."

A golden piece of silk flew out, and Wei Zhong took it to check. What was written on the spiritual contract was indeed in line with Wei Zhong's thoughts. By helping Jiuzhou to guard a city, or killing the big monsters that threatened the safety of the defense city, and accumulating a certain amount of merit, he could exchange it for Jiuzhou's internal skills, including but not limited to the Five Methods of Spring and Autumn.

Such a generous attitude can be regarded as a preliminary acceptance of Wei Zhong.

"The spiritual contract is correct. Shall I sign it now?"

Following the guidance of the spiritual contract, the two of them murmured something, and then each left a mark on the spiritual contract.

But just as Wei Zhong's fingers, wrapped in blood, pressed on the spiritual contract, the "Record of Time" in his sea of ​​consciousness moved without wind, as if attracted by something.

"What's going on? Is there something wrong with the spiritual contract?"

However, the book was only turned over a few pages and then closed again. Such a scene had no beginning or end, which made Wei Zhong very confused.

"Fellow Daoist Jie?"

Huang Shuya saw that Wei Zhong was in a daze and asked about it.

Wei Zhong came back to his senses and explained:
"Nothing, it's just that the spiritual contract in your world seems to be quite extraordinary."

The latter seemed surprised that Wei Zhong could discover this, and said with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist Jie actually has such spiritual perception, which is really amazing to us. This spiritual contract is indeed not an ordinary spiritual contract, but it comes from the top of my Jiuzhou Association and is closely connected with my Jiuzhou's destiny.

"The binding force is much greater than that of ordinary spiritual contracts. It is the highest level, and is not much different from the oath of the Heavenly Dao."

"The way of heaven?"

Huang Shuya seemed to still see Wei Zhongmian's confusion, so she added:
"Of course, Fellow Daoist Jie can rest assured that every word in the spiritual contract is true. It is absolutely fair and will not mislead you."

Wei Zhong nodded slowly, but he was still confused.

"Then according to the description in the spiritual contract, when can I start accumulating merits?"

The latter chuckled:
"Fellow Daoist Jie is really anxious. Why don't you take a rest for a few days and then go to Jiuzhou with me to see all the fellow Daoists first."

Wei Zhong suppressed his restless mood:

"In that case, let's wait for friendly news from Huang Daoyou."

After three days, Wei Zhong followed Huang Shuya to the Zhonghu Defense City.

He handed Wei Zhong a palm-sized card with three big characters "Xie Yuanping" on it, a string of inexplicable numbers, and a photo of Wei Zhong.

The card seemed to still contain the aura of Wei Zhong himself.

"This is Daoist Jie's identity certificate. You must use it as a key to enter and exit the major defense cities. Otherwise, you will be attacked by the autonomous defense instruments in the Dao city. Please keep it well and don't lose it."

Wei Zhong nodded and put the card close to his body.

Together with the other party, they passed through the gate of Zhonghu Defense City.

The card in his arms felt slightly hot, and the scene in the city also made Wei Zhong suddenly realize something.

It feels like being in a modern metropolis, with tall buildings everywhere, and it doesn't look like a front-line battlefield at all.

But Wei Zhong's keen sense still detected the cameras scanning from all directions and the faint sense of crisis hidden in the floors, under the ground, and hanging high in the sky.

Seeing Wei Zhong's surprise and daze, Huang Shuya had a hint of pride in her eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Jie?"

Wei Zhong came back to his senses:

"This is the first time I've seen this scene, please forgive me, fellow Taoist."

The latter took Wei Zhong to meet Jiang Liyong and others who were responsible for guarding this place, and then went to a wide space passage behind the defense city.

From Wei Zhong's perspective, the passage here was like a gorgeous starry sky, with a pitch-black base and dots of light passing through it.

Standing in front of the passage with Huang Shuya, the huge spiritual power activated the magic array around them.

There was a bright light in the passage, which made Wei Zhong unable to open his eyes.

The figure seemed to be pulled by some force and rushed towards the boundless space.

At the same time, the "Record of Time" within Wei Zhong's sea of ​​consciousness seemed to sense something.

The pages of the book kept turning, and spiritual patterns appeared on each page...
