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

Chapter 295: Guangji Rumors, Back to Shahe

"It is the disaster left by Lai Rongzhi. He wants to cultivate a strong body to survive the next catastrophe.

"But the corpse qi entered his soul, and even his consciousness was corroded. How could he control his own strength? He was strong enough, but it was a pity that he didn't use this strength to fight the enemy.

"One move destroyed both the friendly forces and the enemy. Guangji City has become a horrible place."

Wei Zhong recalled that when he had just flown into this world, the people from the Shahe Sect had invited him to join them, including the Huanjian Sect.

The bases of these two major forces are both around the Ascension Platform near Faquan City. Not only are their locations close, their abilities to cause trouble are also similar.

It's really a gathering of the best and the worst.

'It's a good thing I refused at the beginning.'

While feeling glad for his decision, Wei Zhong also asked about the outcome of the battle that day.

“Many people in Guangji City and those who besieged it at the beginning suffered casualties due to the infection of corpse qi, and the war ended there.

"Among them, the people of Taofang Pavilion suffered the least casualties, thanks to Jin Wenlan's protection. Although this immortal city was destroyed, most of the cultivators were saved.

“Compared to this, the besieging forces are in a miserable state.

“Only one in ten of the forces at or below the level of Huashen survived, and even the great Huashen elder of the sect, who was the Dinghaishenzhen, died in the incident.

“Of course, the worst off of all was the Shahe Sect. Not only did their ancestor transform into a corpse and lose his mind, but he was also killed by all the major refining masters.

"Now it seems that the sect's headquarters has been seized by others.

"The Illusion Sword Sect also suffered considerable damage..."

After hearing the result, Wei Zhong felt that the world of cultivation was truly amazing.

Although they were the more powerful party besieging the invading force, they suffered heavy losses due to the unexpected incident, and the Shahe Sect, a prestigious Lianxu sect, fell into decline.

In comparison, although Taofang Pavilion lost its base, it was able to preserve most of its monks and move to another place.

"After this disaster, Taofang Pavilion has mobilized all its resources and relocated to Feiyu Immortal City.

"If Fellow Daoist Wei wants to find a suitable place for cultivation, it would be better to go to Feiyu Immortal City. There is no shortage of spiritual land and cultivation resources..."

Wei Zhong bowed:

"That's what I was thinking, but the journey is long and I don't know the route. I wonder if Brother Yang has a map to Feiyu Fairy City?"

While Wei Zhong was speaking, he had already taken out the Zixia Pill and pushed it in front of the latter.

Yang Bao picked up the pill, looked at it briefly, and his eyes suddenly lit up:
"This pill is amazing, my friend. It's just what I need. Brother Wei, are you an alchemist?"

Wei Zhong said with a smile:

"It's a small skill, nothing worth mentioning."

The latter took out a jade slip from his bosom:

“The maps of Baifeng Spirit Realm are all here. Daoist friends, on your journey to Feiyu Immortal City, as long as you are careful and don’t enter those dangerous places, you can arrive safely.

"After I have dealt with the corpse qi here, I will definitely find my fellow Taoist to discuss the Dao of Alchemy."

"Then we'll see each other again someday!"

Wei Zhong bowed to Yang Bao, then turned into a flash of lightning and flew into the sky.

"This person is a strange character. He is good at alchemy and has thunder magic. He doesn't look weak. Why have I never heard of his name before? Could he be an ascended monk?"

Wei Zhong flew into the sky and looked at the map in his hand:
"Feiyu Fairy City is indeed a good place to go, but..."

Wei Zhong turned around and headed in the direction he came from:

“I am only in the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm now, and I have enough resources for cultivation. Why should I go to Feiyu Immortal City where the Hedao cultivators exist? I can just look for a sixth-level spiritual place.

"I think the Shahe Sect is quite good."

Outside Faquan City, the headquarters of Shahemen.

"Brother, are we just going to let those sects occupy our own sect's sacred land?"

Jiang Changyu looked at his junior fellow student in front of him and coughed:
“What else can we do? Now that our ancestor is dead, most of the senior members of our Shahe Sect are also dead. Now, only you and I have reached the state of spiritual enlightenment.

"Brother, I have been infected by corpse qi, and my strength is only one tenth of what it was. I am absolutely no match for those people.

"It's good enough to be able to preserve this fifth-level spiritual land for our disciples to use. How can we ask for anything else?"

"But, I am unwilling to give up our ancestors' legacy just like that."

"What can you do if you are unwilling? If you have the ability, just kill those families."

Such words would make Bao Xinzheng choke:
"Brother, both the Le family and the Huanjian Sect are interested..."

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Jiang Changyu:
"You want to invite a wolf into your house? If you dare to do so, I will break your legs.

"If the Spiritualization cultivators invade our territory, we still have a chance to turn things around. But if we attract the Void Refining forces, we will be handing over our foundation to others. Don't you understand this principle?"

When he got excited, Jiang Changyu coughed repeatedly, as if he was going to cough out his internal organs in the next second.

"Brother, you are right. You should take a good rest..."

Seeing Bao Xinzheng leave, Jiang Changyu sighed slowly:
"I thought Guangji City was the key to the rise of my Shahe Sect, but unexpectedly it was the place where my bones were buried. Old Ancestor, you are so foolish. You have become like that. Why bother to fight for the opportunity to achieve the Dao?"

"Fellow Daoist Jiang is in trouble, do you need my help?"

The voice suddenly sounded from the hall, causing the latter's hair to stand on end. A magic sword appeared in his hand and he looked around vigilantly.

"This secret place where I practice cultivation is protected by a fifth-level formation. How could someone sneak in? Could it be that my junior brother let him in?"

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Jiang, there's no need to be nervous. I just happened to pass by and heard what you were saying to your junior brother," Wei Zhong showed up, and in Jiang Changyu's eyes he looked like he had never seen him before.

"Who is fellow Taoist?"

"I am an idle monk who was looking for a place to practice. I accidentally went deep into the Sand Crane Sect's residence. It is really a sin, a sin."

There was a smile in his words, and there was no intention to apologize for it.

"My Shahe Sect doesn't have any vacant space for you to practice, so you should find another place."

Seeing that the latter was not interested, Wei Zhong flicked his sleeves and five-colored spiritual light burst out:

"Why, Brother Daoist Jiang, don't you want to take back the territory of the sect? If I were a member of the Shahe Sect, I would risk my life to not let others occupy this ancestral land. Daoist brother, are you so spineless?"

When Jiang Changyu heard this and saw the five-colored spiritual light on Wei Zhong's hand, he was stunned for a moment:
"Five Elements Dharma, could it be someone from the Five Elements Immortal Sect? No, if he was really from the Immortal Sect, he would have announced his identity long ago. Why would he bother to talk to me? He is probably just a casual cultivator practicing the Five Elements Dharma."

"Humph, if you have the strength, just kill the Turtle Back Cave, the Danque Sect, and the Blood Wolf Gang. You can choose any spiritual land you want."

Wei Zhong shook his head helplessly:

"It seems that fellow Taoist is really stubborn and unrepentant."

Wei Zhong's internal energy was running, and a five-colored spiritual ring appeared on his palm. The five colors of gold, green, blue, red, and yellow were connected end to end, and spiritual patterns were engraved on it, revealing its mysterious and extraordinary nature.

With a slight push, the ring flashed and came to Jiang Changyu. The latter was confused and stunned for a moment, and the ring wrapped around his waist and imprisoned him.

Half of the spiritual power in his body stagnated instantly. By the time he broke through the restraint, Wei Zhong's invisible sword had already landed on his neck.

The chill emanating from the sword made Jiang Changyu suspect that the sword would cut off both his body and his soul.

"Fellow Daoist, please let's talk. Please put down your magic sword and let's talk."

After just a brief fight, he realized the gap between himself and the person in front of him.

Wei Zhong retracted the invisible sword, not worrying about the latter's resistance. If he could control it the first time, the second time would not be difficult either.

“Don’t worry, Brother Jiang, I just really want to find a spiritual place to practice, and it will not affect the development of your sect.

"If you want to take back the sect's headquarters in the future, I am willing to help you."

After saying this, Wei Zhong threw out a long-haired head. Seeing the appearance of the head, Jiang Changyu was shocked and said:
"Miao Dongyue from the Danque Sect?"

This person was a cultivator in the early stage of the Jinhua Realm from the Danque Sect. Together with his senior brother, he occupied a small half of the Shahe Sect's base. How could he be killed directly by this person?
Wei Zhong naturally did not have the habit of chopping off other people's heads for no reason. It was because this man was arrogant that Wei Zhong had some conflicts with him on his way to Shahemen.

He took the initiative to provoke a fight, and every move was aimed at Wei Zhong's life. Wei Zhong had no choice but to chop off his head.

"This person is my greeting gift. Is this sincerity enough?"

Jiang Changyu came back to his senses from his daze and nodded heavily:
"That's enough. From now on, you are a friend of the Shahe Sect. You can choose any of the five-level spiritual sites in the sect. May I ask your name?"

Wei Zhong stroked his chin:

"I am Taoist Wu Se, Brother Jiang, you can just call me Wu Se. But this identity may arouse suspicion from others, so why not make me a disciple?"

Jiang Changyu was overjoyed when he heard this:

"Okay, okay, okay, Brother Wu Se will be my Sand Crane Sect's former sect master's personal disciple from now on, and you will be my peer."

"Very good, very good!"

In this way, Wei Zhong got a point in Shahemen and settled down.

As for this title, Wei Zhong didn't care whether Shahemen took it seriously or not.

"I was just putting on a show."

'Without the power of the Void Refining Cultivator, it's easy to just stay here.'

Among the four major forces here, the strongest one is only in the late stage of Spirit Transformation, and is far from being a match for Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong chose a beautiful fifth-level sacred mountain, sent away the disciples arranged by the sect to serve him, and stepped into the cave for practice.

'It's a pity that the only sixth-level spiritual land in Shahemen is used by Lai Rongzhi to refine corpses. The spiritual veins have been corroded by the corpse qi and can no longer be used for cultivation.'

This is also one of the reasons why Shahemen was occupied by several major forces of the God Transformation Realm, instead of attracting the Void Refinement Realm cultivators to take action.

The current territory of the Shahe Clan is nothing more than a larger fifth-tier spiritual land.

"If you want to obtain this sixth-level spiritual land, you have to remove the corpse qi in the spiritual vein. However, this corpse qi has existed for a long time, corroding the spiritual vein day and night, and has long been rooted in the ground.

'It's not like the idle corpse qi in Guangji City, which can be collected using alchemy.

'It is difficult, strenuous and hard to please.

"Forget it, I can't use my current spiritual power, so I'll just practice a bit in this fifth-level spiritual land first."

A five-colored ring appeared in his hand, and its information was naturally displayed on the panel:
[Five Spirit Hoop·Proficient (12%)]

This technique is the result of integrating the five methods of the Spring and Autumn Period into one. When you first realize it, you will skip the introductory level and go directly to the proficient level.

The effect is to restrict the circulation of other people's magic power. It is very effective for the magic power of the five elements, while the effectiveness of other magic power is halved.

Although it only lasts for a moment, it can play a crucial role in deciding life or death in a fight between cultivators.

"Not a bad trick. I wonder what it will be like when you reach the Grandmaster or Peerless level in the future?"

The spirit ring dissipated, and Wei Zhong looked at the panel:
[Cultivation: Mid-stage Spiritualization (Fifth level, 32%)]

'The Five Elements are united, and the cultivation level has declined, which is within expectations. However, although the cultivation level has declined, the strength has not weakened.

'The spiritual consciousness is still as powerful as before, the total amount of magic power has increased, and it has transformed into a more powerful five-element spiritual power. When performing spells, the strength is also greatly improved.

'No wonder it takes so long to practice multiple methods. This kind of reward is well worth the effort.'

"Practice, practice, the moment you reach the peak of the Spiritual Transformation Realm is the moment when I will step into the Void Refining Realm."

Closing his eyes, Wei Zhong activated his internal skills, absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy from his spiritual veins, refining it, and taking it into his body.

Shahemen, Huangluoling.

This place is the territory occupied by the Danque Sect.

A man was looking at a headless female corpse in the main hall of the mountain with a gloomy face:
"Where is Junior Sister's head?"

The cross-section of the female corpse's neck was smooth, as if it had been cut off by a sharp magic sword. At the same time, her soul was also annihilated by the sword, and she had no time to escape.

Hearing this, all the disciples below knelt on the ground, trembling.

The leading senior brother bravely produced a jade slip and then answered:

"Master Mu's head was cut off by that wild cultivator. We are not strong enough to help Master Mu fight. Please punish us, Sect Master."

The jade slip was crushed, and the image of a male cultivator was projected from inside. He was wearing a black Taoist robe, and his sturdy body made the robe bulge.

His face is full of fat and he looks like someone who is not easy to mess with.

This was a fake appearance that Wei Zhong changed deliberately to avoid trouble, but trouble still came, and it didn't make any difference just because of his ferocious appearance.

"Humph!"

Ao Wei flicked his sleeves, and the disciples below the stage were blown away by a gust of wind and fell all over the place on the ground.

"Useless things, I asked you to go on a trip with my junior sister, and she got into an accident. How dare you still live like this?

"Someone, drag them all away and feed them to the red sparrow!"

Hearing this, everyone stood up and begged for mercy:

"Master, please spare my life! Master, please spare my life!"

Ao Wei ignored them and waved his sleeves to blow everyone out of the hall. Soon, disciples from the sect came forward and detained everyone, imprisoned their magic power, and then left.

Staring at the remains of his junior sister in front of him, Ao Wei's eyes flashed with ferocity. He touched her lower abdomen with one hand, his face showing a complicated expression, as if he was recalling the past, and muttered:
“I heard that the Shahe Sect has a descendant from the previous generation, but how could such a coincidence be possible?

"We have occupied this spiritual land for several years without any action, so this person's arrival was an accident.

“I guess that person must have harmed you, Junior Sister.

"Since my junior sister has passed away, why not let me borrow your body to avenge you?"
