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

Chapter 361 Middle Stage of Void Refining
After thirteen years of diligent practice, Wei Zhong's cultivation finally reached a bottleneck.

[Cultivation: Early stage of Refining Void, third level (99%)]

“Many Void Refinement cultivators have been stuck at this stage for hundreds or even thousands of years, and are forced to face the first minor heavenly tribulation at the early stages of Void Refinement.

"But such a barrier doesn't seem to be much of an obstacle for me?"

Wei Zhong could sense that the bottleneck of the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm was like a piece of window paper that could be broken with a single poke.

After taking a Linglong treasure pill, the surging spiritual energy brought by the pill continuously replenished Wei Zhong's needs for immortal spiritual energy under the operation of the exercises.

The fairy spirit in the purple mist state slowly gathered and compressed, eventually producing a drop of liquid, as if forming a singularity. All the fairy spirit in Wei Zhong's body continued to gather here.

In the spiritual land of the demon world, a huge spiritual energy funnel appeared in the sky.

Dragons were flying around, and their loyal guards were hovering outside the spiritual land.

Such a scene immediately attracted the people of Kyushu who came here to explore.

Watching this scene from a distance, a look of shock appeared in his eyes:
"With such a big commotion, could it be that the monster has advanced to a higher level?"

The doubtful words attracted ridicule from people around him:

"Haha, Brother Hu, maybe a treasure has just been unearthed. Do you want to go and take a look?"

The two discussed it for a while, and both were moved.

However, when they saw a giant golden-red dragon flying out and clearing out the nearby wild demon dragons that were ignorant of the danger, and the ground trembling, a sixth-level stone-armored dragon broke out of the ground and knocked down the sixth-level shadow dragon that had turned into a shadow.

More importantly, the aura of more than one sixth-level demon dragon was leaking out from within the spiritual land.

Three, four, five…

The two of them suddenly felt their scalps tingling, stopped, and looked at each other.

"Brother Hu, I think this place is no different from a den of dragons and tigers. Let's take a detour."

Hu Yingzhong nodded and left with his companions.

In the spiritual land, the immortal power in Wei Zhong's body slowly calmed down.

The previous liquid fairy spirit energy has all turned into liquid, marking that Wei Zhong has officially entered the middle stage of refining emptiness.

At the same time, the strength of his spiritual awareness also increased significantly after his cultivation level was improved, and he could detect the two people from Jiuzhou who had left from afar.

"Hu Yingzhong?"

Seeing a familiar figure among them, Wei Zhong looked normal. Although he had some conflicts with the other party in the past, it seemed insignificant after a thousand years.

With no intention of showing up, Wei Zhong gathered his aura:

"Jiuzhou's infiltration into the demon world is getting deeper and deeper."

The demon world where Wei Zhong is located is very far away from the Jiuzhou spiritual land. It is home to many sixth-level demon dragons and even more fifth-level demon dragons.

Low-level cultivators simply cannot set foot here. Even if a human cultivator wants to travel through this primitive forest, it will be difficult.

"With Jiuzhou Lianxu's arrival, does it mean that Jiuzhou's exploration radius has expanded again?"

Wei Zhong looked towards the spiritual land outside the cave with a hint of hesitation.

I'm already thinking about whether to move the plantation here.

However, when he saw the sea dragon tree in full growth, Wei Zhong suppressed this thought.

After instructing Jin Yanlong to expand the scope of his realm and drive away the enemy, Wei Zhong returned to the cave again.

The purple fairy power emerged in his hand, and the panel displayed at the same time:
【Name: Wei Zhong】

[Cultivation: Middle stage of Refining Void (Fourth level, 1%)]

【Shouyuan: 4870/8800】

When one’s cultivation reaches the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm, the upper limit of life span increases by eight hundred years.

Compared with the overall lifespan increase of only one tenth, it is better than nothing.

Wei Zhong did not look at the life span column for long, but instead looked at the five elements magic:
[Elemental Fire Technique·Master (5%)]

[Metallurgy: Mastery (21%)]

【…】

Among the Five Elements Techniques, except for the most used Yuanhuo Technique which has reached the master level of proficiency, the other Five Elements Techniques are all at the mastery level.

"Although my proficiency is not that great, it should be enough to serve as a stepping stone to learn the Five Elements Dingzhen Jutsu."

Wei Zhong looked at the palm of his hand, the purple fairy power kept shaking, the color gradually faded and turned into five colors.

The five colors sway like flowing water waves.

Wei Zhong rotated his palm, and five-colored spiritual light kept turning. Fire gave birth to earth, earth gave birth to metal, metal gave birth to water, water gave birth to wood, and wood gave birth to fire.

It's like an Ouroboros with its head and tail connected, layer upon layer, constantly passing on.

Finally, a red flame appeared in Wei Zhong's palm.

The spell columns such as "Yuan Fire Technique" and "Yuan Gold Technique" on the panel changed suddenly.

[Magic: Five Elements Meditation Technique·Proficient (89%)]

"It's finally done!"

Although his proficiency level dropped from Master and Expert to Proficient, this technique was finally successfully practiced after Wei Zhong's cultivation level was raised to the middle stage of Refining Void.

Wei Zhong raised his hand and spun it, and a red flame suddenly burned on his palm.

This is the method recorded in the "Five Elements Dao Building Sutra", the Five Elements True Determination Technique.

It is achieved through the integration of the five elements, and the power of each attribute can be blessed by the other four.

Under the mutual push, this flame was formed in Wei Zhong's palm.

Its grade is slightly higher than Wei Zhong's own realm. For example, at this moment Wei Zhong is in the middle stage of the Void Refinement Realm, and this flame is usually of the sixth-grade upper grade.

Of course, this level of following will not be maintained forever, but will continue to deepen as Wei Zhong's proficiency in this technique increases.

There is only one small realm higher between entry and proficiency, but Wei Zhong can sense that if this technique is practiced to mastery, it will be able to evolve and transform into a seventh-level flame.

Seeing that there was still 11% progress left on the panel, Wei Zhong suppressed his restlessness.

He took a deep breath, and then turned his gaze to his three high-level spells.

[Five Elements Dingzhen Jutsu·Proficient (89%)]

【Five Elements Aura·Mastery (56%)】

[Five Spirit Hoops·Mastery (61%)]

"The three secret methods of the Five Elements Dao Building Sutra are: 'Five Elements True Determination Technique' focuses on attack, 'Five Elements Spiritual Light' focuses on defense, and 'Five Spirit Hoops' focuses on prohibition.

“Now it’s finally complete.

"Although this method is powerful, it is also really difficult to practice."

Whether it was the Five Spirit Hoop or the Five Elements Spiritual Light, Wei Zhong had comprehended both when he was in the stage of spiritual transformation. However, Wei Zhong had been practicing the Void Refining Technique for nearly a thousand years, and he was still at the stage of mastering the two techniques.

It can be seen how difficult it is to improve proficiency.

"I wonder how long it will take to master the Five Elements True Art?"

Wei Zhong sighed and practiced his magic while taking pills to cultivate himself.

As time goes by, ever since he reached the middle stage of Refining Void, Wei Zhong rarely returns to the spirit world in order to avoid exposing his own cultivation.

Only when he trades with the Fengxi Society and the Chen family will he show up with the high-level spirit beads that he has refined.

The production line for refining the first to fourth level spirit beads was completely handled by Wei Zhong, which relieved Wei Zhong of a lot of pressure. Only refining the fifth and sixth level spirit beads allowed Wei Zhong to focus more on cultivation and practicing magic.

After trading all the spirit beads, Liu Ruochen suddenly asked Wei Zhong:

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Wu Se has made any progress in refining the sixth-level Five Elements Spiritual Pearl?"

As the trading share expanded, Fengxihui gradually increased the collection of high-level spirit beads.

The transaction of Wind and Thunder Beads has almost become normal, so the other party naturally extended their attention to the most powerful Five Elements Spirit Beads.

Wei Zhong shook his head upon hearing this:
"I am not strong enough to refine this thing. If you are really interested, you can go to Senior Xunyang. As the master of the Red Sun Palace, he can easily refine this thing."

Liu Ruochen laughed. He was just a small-time Void Refinement cultivator. He still had some face among cultivators like Wei Zhong, but was nothing in front of the He Dao.

How dare I look for Yang Jing himself?

"Fellow Taoist is really joking."

After a few words, he left with a storage bag of spirit beads.

Wei Zhong picked up the bag of spirit stones on the table and returned to the demon world contentedly.

Outside the Shahe Gate, Liu Ruochen meets Feng Shuming.

The other party immediately came forward with an anxious look on his face:
"Uncle Liu, that Five-Colored Taoist?"

Liu Ruochen shook his head slowly:
"He did not admit that he could refine the sixth-level Five Elements Spiritual Pearl."

"How is it possible? Where did Yang Bao get the sixth-level five-element spirit bead that he used in the Dragon Hidden Secret Land?"

It is well known that Wei Zhong is good at refining magical spirit beads.

Not only in the Baifeng Spiritual Realm, but also in the Tairong and Chong'an Spiritual Realms in the north and south, the reputation of "Five-Colored Taoist" is known.

Therefore, once they saw this magical treasure Lingzhu, the first person that the cultivators thought of was Wei Zhong.

It happened that during the days when Wei Zhong was cultivating in the demon world, Yang Bao used the Five Elements Spirit Pearl that he had exchanged from Wei Zhong in the Longzang Secret Land because of a crisis.

It also caught the attention of other cultivators, causing them to subconsciously think of Wei Zhong.

For a moment, many cultivators speculated whether the weapon refining skills of this "Five Colors Master" had become more advanced and he was able to refine a sixth-rank five-element spirit bead that could rival the power of those in the realm of perfect refining emptiness.

Liu Ruochen from Fengxi Society came here to find out the news.

If they could successfully purchase a few spirit beads from Wei Zhong, it would be a great signboard for the Fengxi Club, which is a business.

Such a powerful rare treasure is enough to attract the attention of a large number of cultivators in the Void Refinement Realm and below.

Unfortunately, how could Wei Zhong admit such news?
The refining of each sixth-level five-element spirit bead would consume the vitality of Wei Zhong's life force magic weapon, causing its grade to drop.

The Five Elements Pearl fell from the sixth-order perfection to the middle grade, and it only took five refining opportunities.

Out of five times, it would be amazing if Wei Zhong could succeed twice.

It will take a lot of time and even cultivation resources to push the Five Element Bead that has fallen to a lower level back to the upper or even perfect level.

How could Wei Zhong show the sixth-level Five Elements Spirit Pearl that he had worked so hard to refine to outsiders?

Therefore, Wei Zhong would not acknowledge a single word of the rumors from the outside world.

Liu Ruochen stroked his white beard and spoke after a while:
"Perhaps it was made by that old monster Yang himself. After all, as the master of a hall, he has profound skills, so it is not a problem for him to refine such a rare treasure for his descendants..."

There was hesitation in Liu Ruochen's eyes, as if he didn't quite believe this inference.

At this point, Feng Shuming's eyes were filled with regret:

"What a pity! If I had acted faster and directly accepted this person into our association, we wouldn't have had all these troubles today..."

Wei Zhong today is no different from a hen that lays golden eggs in the mortal world.

From the perspective of Fengxi Club, it is even worse.

"Such a skill is the foundation that can support the long-term prosperity of the Yihedao force!"

After hearing what Feng Shuming said, Liu Ruochen's face was full of regret.

By missing out on Wei Zhong, Feng Xihui would indeed have missed out on a great opportunity to make money.

Inside the Dragon Hidden Secret Land, the cultivators were somewhat frightened and uneasy due to the appearance of the sixth-level Five Elements Spirit Pearl.

The power of this powerful weapon is enough to suppress almost all the Void-Refining cultivators present.

Just like guns in the modern secular world, it is enough to make people panic.

What’s more deadly is that these disposable magic beads are like firearms and have no high threshold for use.

Not to mention the Void Refining Realm, even if a great cultivator at the Spiritual Transformation Realm wanted to activate it, it would not be too difficult. The price would only be that he would be destroyed along with himself.

It can be said that the sixth-level five-element spirit bead in this dragon secret place is a bomb that may explode at any time.

"Old Yang, tell me the truth, was the Five Elements Spiritual Pearl refined by that young man Wu Se?"

As the senior of the cultivators present, Master Hedao naturally had to clarify the matter in order to calm the panic.

Yang Jing looked a little impatient; this was not the first colleague who came to ask him questions.

He raised his head slightly and looked at Wu Renchu ​​in front of him, and said sarcastically in a shrill voice:
"Old Wu, could it be that through practicing the body-building method, your brain has been turned into nothing but muscles?

“Is it possible for a junior in the early stage of the Void Refining Stage to refine a rare treasure that can rival the power of a cultivator who has reached the Perfection of the Void Refining Stage?”

These words immediately made Wu Renchu ​​so angry that his breath blew into his beard.

However, the Xuanxiao Sect's Grand Master suppressed his inner anger in time and said secretly:

"This old man is backed by the Five Elements Immortal Sect. We must not get on the same page with him, we must not..."

By comforting myself in this way, I finally calmed down.

"Where did the spirit pearl come from? Could it be that you, old man Yang, the master of a palace, have such a carelessness?"

Yang Jing frowned even more tightly and clenched the sword in his hand, as if he was about to take action.

This situation forced Wu Renchu ​​to retreat several steps.

Yang Jing's cultivation level is almost the same as his, but he has a lot of rare magical weapons. If they really fight, he will lose more than he wins.

"What does my behavior have to do with you? I am happy to see the prey, so why not refine a pill and give it to future generations for self-defense?"

"Yes, yes!"

Seeing Yang Jing's angry look, Wu Renchu ​​knew that he could not provoke him any more.

He left with these words, but when he was leaving, he suddenly heard a message from Yang Jing:

"Refining this pearl will damage my life treasure. Refining it forcefully is no different from committing suicide..."

A look of surprise flashed across Wu Renchu's face. He turned around, bowed to Yang Jing, and then left.

Before long, rumors spread throughout the entire Longzang Secret Land that it was impossible for someone at the Lianxu realm to refine a sixth-level Five Elements Spirit Pearl.

No one knows why.

However, no one would question the news that came from Xuanxiao Sect's Hedao Tai.

The demon world,

Wei Zhong stared at the stove in front of him, where red flames were floating. A ray of five-element spiritual light lifted the stove lid and rushed out.

Grabbing it in his hand, Wei Zhong laughed loudly:
"This Five Elements True Realization Technique is indeed extraordinary..."

When he opened his palm, he saw the sixth-level five-element spirit bead that all the cultivators in the spiritual world had been longing for.
