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

Chapter 319: Concerns about the Minor Heavenly Tribulation

The shadow of death drives the thief back.

Wei Zhong sensed the true seal in his body, and the scene of the fight just now immediately appeared in his mind.

“I can’t see his true appearance because his face is covered, but he does have a lot of magic weapons. I’m afraid he has a lot more than the disciples of the big sects.

“He should not be an unknown person. I will have a chance to seek revenge on him in the future.

"And those guys who were watching me transcend the tribulation near the Sand Crane Gate probably retreated after seeing what happened to this person."

With a wave of his hand, the black hooded magic weapon immediately returned to Wei Zhong's hand from above the dead shadow's head. The latter also obeyed Wei Zhong's instructions and retreated back into the nearby shadows.

Wei Zhong looked at the big gold floating in the air beside the cave.

The latter was riding on the clouds and was very happy.

Capture the connection between yourself and it, and the mist-like thing that surrounds you.

Wei Zhong murmured:

"The art of destiny is indeed mysterious."

It was this layer of mist that saved Wei Zhong from the abnormal thunder tribulations other than the nine heavenly thunders, and prevented him from being punished by the heavenly tribulation for repeatedly violating the laws of time.

At this moment, Dajin is the protective umbrella covering up Wei Zhong's existence, and it will not dissipate until Wei Zhong has completely consolidated his cultivation of the Void Refining Realm.

Wei Zhong closed his eyes and recuperated from his injuries.

Hundreds of miles away from Shahe Gate, Du Liang cursed:
"Don't go too far, what's the point of chasing after me?"

The four people in front of him surrounded him, all hiding their faces, breath, and magical characteristics.

However, they are all Void-Refining cultivators with the same cultivation level as him.

"Fellow Daoist, please take out the magic weapons you have and we will leave naturally."

“I, ugh!

"A few guys who dare not even show their true colors want to steal my family fortune, go eat shit.

“Don’t think that I don’t know your identities. The two old guys from the Le family and the Shahe clan can’t escape.

"I will report back on what happened today. Just wait!"

After saying this, a talisman appeared in his palm. He tore it with his hand and Du Liang's figure immediately disappeared from the spot.

"A teleportation talisman?"

The figure of the opponent disappeared in front of them, and several people were extremely surprised. They never thought that the opponent had such a rare space treasure on him. No wonder he could come and go freely in those big sects.

However, when Le Lin and Wei Yuesheng recalled what the other party had just said, a trace of solemnity appeared on their faces.

After all, the two forces are not that strong in the realm of refining emptiness, and they really cannot withstand the elusive invasion of Du Liang.

With each of them having their own thoughts, the four of them hurriedly dispersed.

"Brother Wei, this Du Liang?"

The latter sighed and responded to Le Lin:
"The enemy is in the open, and I am in the dark, so I can only take one step at a time and see what happens."

Le Lin was also very distressed. He scratched his forehead and was already thinking about whether he should spend a lot of money to hire a formation master to strengthen the family's protective formation.

"What about the five colors?"

"Since the other party has the ability to drive Du Liang away, they must have made preparations. Even if you and I attack together, it will only be a waste of food.

"And we can't guarantee that there is only one Wind and Thunder Pearl."

The two of them saw clearly how Wei Zhong dealt with the ninth heavenly tribulation.

"A sixth-level wind and lightning bead. I never thought that the other party could refine a magical weapon of this level."

The power of this wind and thunder bead has already exceeded the level of the early stage of refining emptiness. With the strength of Le Lin and Wei Yuesheng, it can even be said that they will die if they are touched by it.

Both of them were frightened and did not dare to provoke Wei Zhong.

"In the future, our two families should share what we have and help each other."

"Brother Le, what you said makes sense."

The two exchanged a few words and then hurriedly dispersed.

After returning to the sect, he took out precious treasures and sent his great masters who had reached the state of spirit transformation to present them to the Shahe Sect to congratulate Wei Zhong on his successful promotion to the state of refining emptiness.

Wei Zhong was practicing and recuperating in the cave, so he had no idea of ​​what the two were doing.

After three years of recuperation, Wei Zhong's injuries were basically healed and his cultivation was completely stable.

With a wave of his hand, the mysterious aura that Da Jin had bestowed on himself disappeared, and no calamity clouds appeared in the sky. Wei Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.

With a wave of his hand, Da Jin put his head close to Wei Zhong.

He held the big head against Wei Zhong's arm.

"Congratulations, sir, on your advancement to the realm of refining emptiness!"

After releasing the restraints of the "Record of Time" on Lei Long, the latter congratulated him for his belated arrival.

Wei Zhong nodded and heard what the latter said:

"This stupid fish is at the sixth level and can protect its master from the refining heavenly tribulation, as well as the minor heavenly tribulations in between."

At the level of Refining Void, one has a long lifespan, and when one reaches the late stage of Refining Void, one can live for ten thousand years.

But this level does not mean a lifespan without worries, but rather a small heavenly tribulation that occurs every three thousand years.

The power of this kind of heavenly tribulation is not as strong as the power of the heavenly tribulation that transcends a great realm, but it is not easy to deal with either, and as the number of times increases, it becomes stronger each time.

Many Void-Refining cultivators also died from this kind of heavenly calamity.

The great elder of the Shahe Sect, Gu Shuping, had his physical body completely destroyed in a minor calamity, and had to resort to unusual techniques to replace his own body with a dragon's body in order to survive the next minor calamity.

The outbreak of this kind of heavenly calamity also has the potential to attract the spirit of the thunder law.

Needs constant protection from the art of luck.

"However, if you want to advance to the Hedao level in the future, this stupid fish will have to be improved a bit or two. It would be best if you can push it to the seventh level in advance."

Wei Zhong frowned. Now that he had reached the sixth level of the Great Gold Realm, it could be said that it was all thanks to the blessing of the human world.

He refined the spirit tablet, gained the luck of a world, and stepped into the realm of the sixth level.

After that, there was a constant supply of luck to push its realm up, but with only the supply from a small thousand worlds, how could it be pushed to the seventh level?

Wei Zhong stroked his forehead.

"Is the law of time an absolute taboo in this world? How did those cultivators who were involved in the law of time cultivate to the level of immortals?"

Wei Zhong often heard Lei Long talk about some immortal figures who were forced to join the Time Palace.

“Everyone has their own methods, but those people’s understanding of the law of time is not as deep as yours, and the intensity of the abnormal lightning tribulations they suffered is also limited.

"At most, it is only one or two times stronger than the ordinary heavenly tribulation during the tribulation. It is not as strong as what you did, Master, to directly summon the existence of the true spirit."

Wei Zhong had a headache.

“If this stupid fish is unreliable, Your Excellency may be able to find other means.

"Tianyin Leishan mainly practices thunder magic, and there are many secret thunder transformation techniques in the sect, which may be of help to you, my Lord."

Wei Zhong just nodded slightly and kept this in mind. Now that he had just been promoted to the Refining Void stage, his cultivation was still shallow. Perhaps he could wait until his cultivation reached perfection before going to look for the Tianyin Leishan.

He lowered his head slightly, and the interface appeared in front of Wei Zhong:

【Name: Wei Zhong】

[Cultivation: Early stage of Refining Void (first layer, 2%)]

【Shouyuan: 2803/8000】

A cultivator in the early stage of Refining Void can live for eight thousand years. With subsequent small realm upgrades, his lifespan can be gradually increased to ten thousand years.

Compared with the 3,000-year lifespan of a Divine Transformation cultivator, it can be said to be long enough.

“In the short term, there is indeed no need to worry about life span. Even if you use the [Time Dao Method], it will be enough for several round trips.

“Even if you continue to increase your lifespan, there is no way to avoid the minor calamity that occurs every three thousand years.

"The power of each minor heavenly tribulation will increase. If it is upgraded too many times, I am afraid that the subsequent heavenly tribulation will be not much different from when it is promoted to a greater realm.

"The secret technique of transforming thunder into lightning is indispensable and must be obtained."

Wei Zhong calmed down and looked at the magic column:
[Magic: Five Elements Spiritual Light·Proficient (79%)]

This superior technique of [Black Water Spiritual Robe] had been fully activated by the time Wei Zhong was promoted to the realm of refining emptiness.

Although it did not withstand any of the heavenly thunder when dealing with the thunder tribulation, it did have the effect of filtering out the power of the thunder tribulation.

This directly reduced the damage suffered by Wei Zhong by several percent.

When it was used to fight against the six corpses, it protected all attacks from outside. Its strength far exceeded the level of [Black Water Spirit Clothes].

He reached out and took out a black water bead, which was Wei Zhong's natal magic weapon, the "Yuan Water Bead".

However, the fifth level is no longer suitable for a Void Refining cultivator like Wei Zhong, and he has to be refined again and upgraded.

To do this, the number of five elements spiritual materials required is not a small one.

After coming out of seclusion and grabbing the token outside the cave, Wei Zhong directly called Jiang Changyu.

When the latter appeared in front of Wei Zhong, he immediately knelt down with excitement:

"I have met the Great Elder!"

Wei Zhong didn't understand the excitement in the other party's expression, he just waved his hand, and the latter immediately presented various gifts.

These are the gifts presented by all the major forces after they heard that Wei Zhong had advanced to the realm of refining emptiness.

There are quite a lot of them, and many of them are magic weapons that were purchased from Wei Zhong.

"Shahe Sect, Le Family, Liu Family, Xuanxiao Sect, and Yuhui and Moro..."

The two great Xuanxiao Sect's Lianxu had traded thunder beads with Wei Zhong many times over the past hundred years. Needless to say, there was no need to elaborate on the friendship between them, and there was nothing wrong with giving a small personal gift.

"You are really thoughtful. You know that I collected these five elements, wind and thunder spiritual materials to forge the spiritual pearl magic weapon."

'These spiritual materials are not only used to forge spiritual beads and magic weapons, but can also be used as a resource for upgrading one's own life magic weapon.'

After counting them, Wei Zhong put them away with satisfaction, and took out a large number of Five Elements Spiritual Pearls and handed them to Jiang Changyu:
"Notify the above-mentioned gift-giving forces that the price of their spirit beads will be discounted by 20% within three years.

"In addition, these spiritual materials are collected openly from the outside world."

A jade slip was thrown to Jiang Changyu, who checked it and found that most of them were sixth-level spiritual materials.

A chill in my heart:
"Could it be that the Great Elder intends to promote the art of weapon refining and make it the hallmark of our Shahe Sect?"

Wei Zhong didn't know what Jiang Changyu was thinking, he just waved his hand lightly, and the latter bowed and left.

Returning to the cave, Wei Zhong closed his eyes and practiced his skills.

In the following years, many people came to visit Wei Zhong after learning that he had come out of seclusion, most of whom were individuals and forces who were familiar with Wei Zhong.

At the same time, within three years, those forces that received preferential treatment purchased a large amount of the spiritual pearls and rare treasures that were openly sold in the Shahe Sect, causing them to be in short supply at one point.

Even if Wei Zhong doubled the time spent on refining the weapon, it would be difficult to make up for it.

Looking at the thunder bead in his hand, Wei Zhong murmured:
"The three years I promised are almost up. These past few years have been really exhausting for me."

The greatly increased frequency of refining equipment also made Wei Zhong's refining skills advance by leaps and bounds. Although he did not start to refine other sixth-level magic weapons besides the Lingzhu, Wei Zhong was already confident that there was no possibility of failure.

[Sixth-level Refining Technique: Mastery (88%)]

Looking at the large amount of spiritual materials accumulated in the Demon Abyss Palace, Wei Zhong put away the spiritual beads he had refined.

He cleaned the alchemy furnace again and placed all the prepared five elements spiritual materials around him.

Sit cross-legged, light a stick of incense, empty your mind, and adjust your state of mind.

He sat cross-legged for dozens of days, and when he opened his eyes facing the morning sun, all kinds of weapon refining techniques came to his mind.

A drop of Yuan Shui appeared in Wei Zhong's palm:

"My natal magic weapon is filled with the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. It takes eighty-one days to complete after going through the processes of gold sharpening, wood decaying, water forging, fire burning and earth refining. Sixty days to refine each of the five elements, and twenty-one days to refine them together and finally cast..."

Wei Zhong murmured something and stretched out his fingers. A ball of purple fairy air emerged in his hands. He moved his five fingers slightly, and the color became scattered, like a dye vat with five colors mixed together.

Gold, wood, water, fire and earth, the five elements of immortal spirit energy spread out and continued to expand in Wei Zhong's palm.

With a throw of his right hand, this ball of fairy air was thrown into the furnace, rising continuously and turning into a sharp air that could burn gold and forge iron.

Wei Zhong threw various spiritual materials into the furnace one after another, even the bead of his own natal water.

For several years, Wei Zhong rejected all external things, even ignoring the visits of several fellow practitioners of the Refining Void Sect, and devoted himself to forging his own magical treasure.

"Is Fellow Daoist Wu Se still not out of retreat?"

Moro frowned as he looked at Jiang Changyu in front of him. Upon hearing this, the latter could only smile apologetically:

"You two elders came at the wrong time. The Great Elder has been in seclusion for more than three years and has not shown his face once. Even the daily communication of letters and tokens has been cut off."

Seeing Moro's visibly anxious expression, Yu Hui slowly dissuaded him:
"Don't worry, fellow Daoist!"

Then he turned to Jiang Changyu and continued to ask:
"Do you know when Brother Wu Se is in seclusion this time, and whether he left any information about when he will come out?"

Jiang Changyu smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"Why does the Great Elder need to report his actions to a mere incarnation like me? Why don't you two seniors just wait for a while and wait for the Great Elder to come out of seclusion?"

Yuhui and Moro looked at each other, both looking embarrassed.

"Brother Mo, what do you say? That old man Gong is not sure about refining the Wind and Thunder Pearl. Should we continue to wait, or go directly to the Nether Abyss?"

Moreau pulled his beard:

“No, no, this mission is very important. We have to go deep into the middle layer that no one has explored. The danger is uncertain. We need treasures to protect ourselves.

"Without the Wind and Thunder Pearl, I feel uneasy relying solely on the Thunder Pearl refined by Old Man Gong."

The old man Gong mentioned by the two people is none other than the sixth-rank weapon-refining master of Xuanxiao Sect. With the blessing of a sect's resources, he has also made considerable achievements in the method of refining the Lingzhu magic weapon.

He had successfully refined the five elements, thunder, wind, and seven other spirit beads, but he had always run into obstacles when it came to fusion spirit beads.

So far, he has only refined simple water and fire spirit beads, and there is no sign of success in refining other fusion spirit beads, not to mention the most difficult five elements and wind and thunder spirit beads.

Just as the two were hesitating, a voice suddenly sounded in the hall:
"My two Taoist friends, you think about me so much?"

A figure in a white robe appeared on the scene. The two men stood up immediately and bowed:
"Five-color Daoist friend!"
