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

Chapter 296: Phantom Sword Disrupts the Situation, Danque Refining Corpses
"Thank you, fellow Daoist. My senior brother doesn't want to do that," Bao Xinzheng said to the cultivator in front of him.

The latter turned around, revealing a gloomy face. He was none other than Xie Jibang, the eldest senior brother of the Illusion Sword Sect.

But now he is the former senior brother.

He was punished for letting Wei Zhong escape, and then in the battle against Taofang Pavilion, his body was corroded by corpse qi and his Taoism was damaged.

His reputation among the younger generation has greatly declined and he has been heavily overshadowed by the latecomers.

Xie Jibang was in urgent need of merit to restore his status, so he set his sights on the Shahe Clan.

He hooked up with the only two incarnation monks in Shahe Sect, Bao Xinzheng, and tried to turn Shahe Sect into a subordinate sect of Huanjian Sect.

"I don't want to. The Shahe Sect is being occupied by the other three sects. Doesn't Jiang Changyu know how to adapt?"

"Senior brother has his own considerations, and there is another incarnation of the God in my Shahe Sect, named Five-Colored Taoist."

"That guy who is rumored to be the disciple of the previous sect master. Who would believe such nonsense?"

Xie Jibang would not believe that a master of the Divine Transformation Sect would appear in such a critical moment, and such a strange person at that.

"It should be the help that Senior Brother is looking for. I just don't know where it came from. However, I see that Senior Brother seems to be very convinced by it, so it should be quite capable.

"Thank you, what do you think?"

Xie Jibang didn't care about this:
"No matter what he is, as long as he doesn't hinder our plan, everything will be fine. If he is stubborn, we will get rid of him."

"Miao Dongyue of the Danque Sect just had an accident, and Ao Wei is the only Divine Transformation cultivator left. We might as well take action and kill him directly," Bao Xinzheng said, changing the subject.

"Yes, but we have to wait for some time. Ao Wei is in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation and has quite a lot of skills. The two of us may not be his opponent. We have to wait for the elders in our sect to be free."

The plan to absorb the Shahe Sect was handled by Xie Jibang and several elders of the Huanjian Sect, and was not supported by Lianxu within the sect.

Because the sixth-order spiritual vein in the Shahe Sect was destroyed, and it was caught up in trouble with many gods getting involved, it seemed not worth it to have gone to such great lengths to take this place, so he handed it over to his subordinates to deal with.

Therefore, the number of Jindan monks that Xie Jibang could mobilize was not that many, at least far less than that of the several forces including Shahemen.

"Thank you very much, fellow Daoist. I will try to persuade you to join me in the attack."

Xie Jibang shook his head casually:
"As you wish, fellow Daoist. Just don't turn your weapons against me when the time comes."

After saying this, he flew into the air.

Bao Xinzheng was left alone, sighing.

In the blink of an eye, seven years passed.

Wei Zhong had been in seclusion in the cave, and was not disturbed by worldly affairs in the outside world.

Even though the other three divine transformation forces came to the door and were curious about Wei Zhong's true teachings, they were all blocked by Jiang Changyu alone.

"Brother, this Five Colors Taoist just took the spiritual land without doing any work, and we just let him occupy the cave of our Sand Crane Sect?"

Bao Xinzheng had long been dissatisfied with Wei Zhong, and had invited him to drink tea and discuss Taoism several times before, but was always rejected by the latter. He was even unwilling to show his face, which really looked down on him.

"What else? Are you expecting you, me and fellow Daoist Wu Se to work together to deal with those three divine transformation forces?"

At least the other three families have five gods in the God Transformation realm, and two or three of them are in the late stage of the God Transformation realm. The Shahe Sect is definitely not their match, otherwise they would not have handed over their sect's headquarters to them.

“Brother, Ao Wei is the only one left in the Danque Sect. Should we…” While speaking, he pointed to his neck with his hand.

This made Jiang Changyu fall into deep thought.

Seeing this, Bao Xinzheng immediately said:

"Brother, in a month, Ao Wei will accept a disciple on behalf of the master, but in fact he will take a concubine. The sect will open the great battle formation and invite us to a banquet. This is a great opportunity. If we miss this one, we don't know how long we will have to wait for the next one. Don't miss this opportunity!"

Jiang Changyu thought about it again and again, "Let me ask fellow Taoist Wu Se first."

After the two separated, Wei Zhong soon received a visit from Jiang Changyu.

Hearing the latter's words, Wei Zhong's eyes moved slightly.

"It's been seven years since the last junior sister died, and he can't help but recruit a new one. This guy is really good at playing around. And in these seven years, is he going to hold a banquet for her to celebrate the seventh day after her death, the immortal version of the first seven days after her death?"

"Does the Danque Sect have an invitation to the banquet?"

"It hasn't been sent yet, but I estimate it will be sent in the next day or two. What do you think, fellow Daoist Wu Se? This is a good opportunity."

"Good opportunity?" Wei Zhong chuckled when he heard that. "Aren't you worried that this will be a Hongmen Banquet, where your Shahe Sect will be wiped out completely?"

Jiang Changyu looked gloomy and thoughtful:
“There has been constant friction between the Turtle Back Cave, the Blood Wolf Gang, and the Danque Sect over resources, and there is discord.

"The Danque Sect is weak now, and my Shahe Sect is still strong. There is no way they will target us. Wouldn't it be faster to eliminate Ao Wei first?"

"It's up to you. I'm not going to this banquet anyway." Wei Zhong lifted his robe, creating a breeze. "My skills have improved a bit, and I'm about to break through to the next level. I won't get involved in this matter."

Jiang Changyu secretly thought that Wei Zhong was reliable, and stood up and bowed:

"In that case, I will not bother you. My Shahe Sect may seem prosperous, but we have a lack of young people. We are weak inside and will not last for many more years.

"If Fellow Daoist Wu Se has some free time in recent years, we can discuss how to repel the enemy."

Seeing the latter leave, Wei Zhong shook his head:
"Repel the enemy? These three sects and nine schools are not my enemies."

If they are really enemies, Wei Zhong can just use the Taoism of Time to wipe out those three sects.

But now the three sects pose no threat to him and can also contain the Shahe Sect and even the Huanjian Sect in the outside world. Why should Wei Zhong take action?

It would be even worse if we act recklessly and attract the old dragon from the Illusion Sword Sect.

However, even though I didn't want to get into trouble, trouble still came knocking on my door.

In just seven days, the Danque Sect sent a visiting card and specifically invited the "Five-Colored Taoist".

Wei Zhong threw the invitation in his hand back to Jiang Changyu:
"No, as for the response, I'll leave it to Brother Jiang Daoist."

The latter was somewhat helpless, but he could only leave with the visiting card.

Time flies, and it is the day of celebration.

The people from the Shahe Sect went to the Danxia Sect not far away, passed through the magic circle, paid homage, and then they saw Ao Wei.

The latter did not see Wei Zhong in the crowd and frowned slightly:
"Why haven't I seen Taoist Five Colors yet? Do you think you look down on me?"

Jiang Changyu replied:

"Junior brother encountered some problems in his practice the other day, so he couldn't leave. I hope Brother Daoist Ao will forgive me. He will come to visit me another day."

Ao Wei had no idea to refute this statement, so he invited several people to sit down.

Soon the other two groups of people arrived and the ceremony officially began.

Seeing Ao Wei holding a woman's wrist and walking up to the stage, someone behind Jiang Changyu whispered sarcastically:
"Ao Wei is at least in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation, but he is so shameless. He wants to take a concubine, but he has to borrow the name of his master to take in a junior sister. He really thinks he is having fun."

This was true, but it was a little inappropriate, especially for a disciple of the Shahe Sect to say this in front of his own senior who had reached the state of Divine Transformation.

Jiang Changyu turned around and said:
"Which sect are you from? You are so shameless when you speak. If Ao Wei hears you, I won't be able to save you."

The latter smiled lightly, not showing any fear at all: "Why do you need Daoist Jiang to rescue me? I can kill Ao Wei with my sword alone."

After hearing these words, Jiang Changyu finally realized that this person was not a disciple of his sect. He turned to look at his junior brother, who slowly said:
"Brother, please don't be nervous. This fellow Taoist is the helper I invited. Ao Wei is weak today, so we have to take action."

Jiang Changyu found it hard to believe that Bao Xinzheng would act on his own without consulting him.

"Brother Daoist Bao is right. This is a rare opportunity that cannot be missed."

'Another deity.'

"Don't worry, Senior Brother. The four of us who are in the Spiritual Transformation stage will definitely be able to capture Ao Wei and take back the foundation of our Shahe Sect."

Outside the formation, Wei Zhong sat in the clouds, spying on what was happening below.

"Oh, this bride is wearing a red cap and green clothes, which is strange. Her movements are stiff and not like those of an ordinary person."

After taking a sip of wine, Wei Zhong suddenly smiled and said, seeing Jiang Changyu and others whispering below:

"As expected, at this critical moment, the brothers' minds are not on the same page. Where did Bao Xinzheng find helpers? Why does he smell familiar?"

After staring at the field for a while, I suddenly saw four people looking for an opportunity to attack.

"How dare you! This was originally a trick I had prepared for the Five Colors. Since you four don't know what's good for you, you can't blame me."

Ao Wei closed his right palm, and the outer magic circle instantly faded and disappeared into thin air. At the core of the ceremony, a hazy green light shield rose up, with green bird patterns dancing on it, splashing rays of spiritual light.

Jiang Changyu and four others were easily locked in it.

"Good fellow, I was wondering how this formation could be so easily discovered. It turns out to be a fake formation. The real core formation is the green cover."

Wei Zhong looked up and saw a cover no more than a hundred feet in size, which bound the four people like an upside-down bowl.

A green bird danced inside, and the spiritual light transformed into physical objects to attack everyone, causing them to panic.

Outside the green spiritual cover are the Turtle Back Cave and the Blood Wolf Gang.

The two leaders sat together and talked with a smile:
"With such a great opportunity, why don't you get involved, Brother Blackback?"

"Humph, I'm not so stupid as to provoke the Danque Sect. But your Blood Wolf Gang has always been bloodthirsty, so why are you so quiet?"

"Haha, aren't you worried that fellow Daoist Blackback might get an advantage?" He laughed loudly twice, and Blackback even laughed along with him:

"Daoist Huang Cun is truly an interesting person."

Huang Cun of the Blood Wolf Gang asked:

"Fellow Daoist Blackback, do you know where this Danque Sect came from? Can you tell us in detail?"

“It’s okay to talk about it. This sect was founded by Ao Wei alone. It absorbed many Nascent Souls and was built into a Jindan sect.

"Ao Wei is from outside the Baifeng Spiritual Realm. He practices the Danque Magical Method, which is actually a method of refining the soul and forging a Yin corpse. He is of the same path as the Supreme of the Shahe Sect."

"Could it be that this sect came here for the sixth-level corpse cave?"

Blackback shook his head:
"not sure.

"But Ao Wei is indeed very powerful. He has cultivated the Green Bird Formation with countless cultivators' souls. The people from the Sand Crane Sect who broke into it are just sending themselves to the enemy."

As he was speaking, Ao Wei lifted the red veil of the bride beside him, and it turned out to be a headless person. He stabbed a finger into the back of the person, and the person's figure immediately twisted and changed, and the green clothes on his body also changed into feathers.

Just like this, a normal human-shaped corpse turned into a headless green bird and rushed into the formation.

Wei Zhong looked closely and saw a gray round bead on the green bird's neck.

"Corpse pill, bird body, so this is how the Danque Sect came about. The way to refine corpses, using corpse pills to control the refined corpses. This Ao Wei is really cruel enough, he even refined his own little lover."

“And it’s not just corpses that are refined. Could it be that the bird shadows in the Green Bird Formation are refined from the souls of cultivators?

"They really ate all the people without leaving anything. Jiang Changyu and the others are in trouble now."

The great monks who have reached the state of transformation have a long lifespan, and naturally the means they possess are beyond the reach of monks at lower levels.

Many guys who are about to be buried may even have the means to deal with Lianxu.

Although Ao Wei is not that advanced, his ability of refining corpses into souls, coupled with his "monk breeding farm", is enough to allow him to deal with multiple god-transforming monks without being defeated.

"Brother, this cover cannot be broken!"

There was impatience in Bao Xinzheng's eyes. He thought that with two late-stage Spiritualization masters and two early-stage Spiritualization masters, they would be able to capture Ao Wei without a doubt.

But no one expected that this person was so powerful. With just a small formation, he was able to trap the four people and prevent them from escaping.

Under the attack of Qingque in the formation, Bao Xinzheng and Xie Jibang were already in danger.

At this critical moment, the two people from the Huanjian Sect no longer cared about concealing their identities.

They both appeared and shouted towards the outside of the formation:

"We two are from the Illusion Sword Sect. Please let us go immediately. If anything unexpected happens here, we from the Illusion Sword Sect will definitely crush your Danque to pieces one day."

Such words immediately made Jiang Changyu's face change drastically. He turned around and shouted at Bao Xinzheng:
"Junior brother!"

He never expected that his junior fellow apprentice would go to seek out the Lianxu force without telling him.

Ao Wei frowned when he heard what Xie Jibang said, but after thinking it over, he flicked his sleeves and opened a hole in the Green Bird magic formation, allowing the two to escape.

Jiang Changyu wanted to take this opportunity to escape from the siege of the formation, but two green birds suddenly rushed up and stopped him.

In an instant, the two people from the Fantasy Sword Sect broke away, leaving only Bao Xinzheng and Jiang Changyu in the formation.

It took only a few hundred moves before he was defeated by the siege of multiple green birds.

After capturing the two, Ao Wei asked:

"My junior sister was in trouble that day, was it your Shahe Sect's fault?"

The two of them shook their heads quickly.

"That was done by the Five-Colored Taoist?"

Bao Xinzheng was at a loss, but Jiang Changyu hesitated for a moment and caught Ao Wei's eye.

"Sure enough!"

With two cold laughs, he grabbed the two of them and fled in the direction of Shahemen.

Wei Zhong sighed when he saw this:
"This Jiang Changyu is really unreliable. When the crisis comes, he wants to drag me down with him."

How could a Divine Transformation cultivator reveal such a flaw with his quick mind? He must have done it on purpose.

“It’s impossible to practice peacefully, in the end you still have to fight for territory with your fists.

"That's all, just let me take care of you little god!"
