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

Chapter 383 Heavenly Alliance

Flying all the way, they finally arrived at the Dragon Hidden Secret Land north of the Huanjian Sect.

Two spirit boats were floating in the sky.

A sparkling ship, with rippling water below and rich clouds above.

A red ship, filled with black smoke. Just by looking at it, Wei Zhong felt his body burning, as if a fire was burning in his heart.

"Water Cloud Boat, Red Sun Boat."

Both were named after the immortal palaces they belonged to. It was rumored that they were forged by a weapon-refining master ten thousand years ago.

The rank is unknown, but over the past thousands of years, the two ships have suffered several attacks and have never been damaged.

Wei Zhong flew forward. Outside the spirit boat, there were a large number of Five Elements Immortal Sect disciples floating.

Seeing Wei Zhong arrive, all the disciples hurriedly greeted him.

Those who are not as good as you in cultivation are called senior brothers, and those who are equal in cultivation are called fellow Taoists.

The disciples of the Chiyang and Shuiyun halls saw that Wei Zhong seemed to have escaped from the gaps between the halls.

A harmonious scene.

Wei Zhong greeted Le Xinghai and his wife and Qin Zhihui in the crowd, and then landed on the Chiyang Boat.

Yang Jing and Yang Bao had already been waiting here.

Yang Jing saw Wei Zhong arrive and nodded slowly:
"Breakthrough to the middle stage of refining emptiness, not bad, not bad."

"Greetings, Palace Master. I am ashamed to say that I was able to break through by borrowing the medicinal power of the fifth-level Kanxu Pill."

Yang Jing slightly frowned, but did not blame him. He just reminded him:
"It's okay. There are many people in the sect who use this pill. It's a great skill to be able to break through after taking one pill. At worst, I can stay in this middle stage of refining emptiness for a while to polish my own magic power."

"Disciple will follow your teachings!" Wei Zhong remained humble, clenched his fists and bowed.

"Okay, have all the disciples gathered?"

Zhuang Chengze appears behind Yang Jing:
"Reporting to the Palace Master, except for some disciples who stayed in the Dragon Hidden Secret Land, all other disciples have gathered."

Yang Jing waved his sleeves:
"Then let's take the boat back to the clan!"

Zhuang Chengze flew up, a magic mirror appeared in his hand, and a ray of spiritual light hit the flag of the spirit boat.

Suddenly, rolling clouds of fire emerged in the sky, and the roaring sound of spiritual energy exploding echoed in the ears of the disciples in the two halls.

"let's go."

Many disciples boarded the spirit boat, fearing that their elders would move any faster and abandon them here.

After all the disciples were in place, the spirit boat accelerated with a roar.

Wei Zhong approached the fence of the stern deck. Behind the Chiyang boat was the Shuiyun boat. The two boats were more than ten miles apart and moved synchronously.

But Wei Zhong's attention was not on the spirit boat, but on the ground below the spirit boat.

"Baifeng Spirit Realm, it has been nearly two thousand years since I ascended here, and I have finally left."

Wei Zhong has been cautious since he ascended to heaven for nearly two thousand years. Except for going to the demon world, he has never set foot out of the Baifeng Spirit Realm.

It was not until now that he had reached the middle stage of the Refining Void Realm that he followed the Five Elements Immortal Sect's team to the Five Elements Spirit Realm.

“I wonder what happened to my fellow Taoists who ascended from the human world in the past.”

During these two thousand years, Wei Zhong had also been looking for old friends.

But the spiritual realm is huge, and there are so many monks.

Even the same name is countless.

In addition, the ascension location in the human world is not fixed, and there is also the possibility of ascending to other nearby spiritual realms.

"If you ascend once, you may never meet again."

Wei Zhong sighed in his heart, and a feeling of loneliness flashed across his mind.

"I am eager to be close to my hometown, and I miss my hometown even more. Fellow Daoist Wu Se, are you sad about leaving this Bai Feng Spirit Realm?"

Yang Bao walked closer to him, and Wei Zhong turned around and nodded slightly.

"It is indeed as Brother Yang said. However, cultivators like me have always been wandering around, without a fixed place to live. I have long been accustomed to this kind of thing."

“Haha, you will not be homeless in the future. With your status, even if you want to stay in the Immortal Sect until you become an immortal, no one will drive you away.”

Yang Bao patted Wei Zhong's arm and smiled.

Wei Zhong shook his head slightly, clenched his fist and bowed:
"I haven't had time to congratulate Fellow Daoist Yang on his advancement to the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm yet."

The other party was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage at a similar time as Wei Zhong, and at this moment, he was also in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage like Wei Zhong.

Yang Bao's return gift:

"Joy and rejoice together!"

The two of them talked to each other, and soon several Lianxu people came over and joined in.

Through Yang Bao's introduction, Wei Zhong knew that the people present were all fellow disciples and sisters from the Chiyang Palace.

Their cultivation levels ranged from the early to late stages of the Refining Void Realm, but they were all extremely polite to Yang Bao.

The same goes for Wei Zhong, the new member of the sect.

They also have to curry favor with him as a seventh-rank alchemist.

"Junior Brother Wu Se has returned to the sect with great fanfare this time. Perhaps several of the He Dao elders in the hall will fight to the death for you."

“Not only that, not only our Chiyang Palace, but maybe several people from Tianfen Palace will also be involved.

"To put it in a bigger picture, even that Uncle Yun might show up to accept a disciple."

Wei Zhong knew that the other party was talking about the second of the nine masters of the Five Elements Immortal Sect.

'The other party is busy advancing to the Mahayana stage, how could he care about a mere Lianxu?'

Wei Zhong is very self-aware. He just smiles in response to compliments from others without expressing his attitude.

His unyielding look made his fellow disciples of the Lianxu sect feel helpless.

Wei Zhong even politely declined the alchemy commissions given to him by several people.

“I have just entered the realm of Buddhism, and I am afraid it will take me a long time to improve my foundation. I will not have the opportunity to refine pills for you in the short term.

“If you are anxious, you may try it with other masters from the same sect.

"If you can wait for me, it won't be too late to come back and find me a hundred years later."

Just as Wei Zhong said, making medicine and earning spirit stones is no longer his top priority.

I have more spirit stones than I can spend, so why waste this time?
Wei Zhong didn't care even if several people brought the pill recipe to his door.

After all, for a seventh-rank alchemist, would the Five Elements Immortal Sect hide all kinds of rare alchemy recipes?

'Once you get started, you'll have everything you need.'

On the contrary, Wei Zhong's top priority is to integrate what he has learned.

Whether it is refining elixirs or refining weapons, Wei Zhong has relied on his accumulation in the human world and various scattered inheritances collected in the spiritual world to practice all the way to this day.

The students have a weak foundation and show obvious signs of academic bias.

The sixth-grade top-grade Lingzhu magic weapon was easily refined, but the ordinary magic swords of the same level could block Wei Zhong's way for several miles.

These are all manifestations of insufficient accumulation.

If you want to go further in these two immortal arts, integrating what you have learned is the only way.

"Junior Brother, what you said makes sense. Don't bother Junior Brother Wu Se with your little pills."

The speaker was a cultivator in the late Lianxu stage among the crowd. From what Yang Bao said, he found out that the man's name was Yao Zichen.

He is a popular candidate among the contemporary disciples of Chiyang Palace who has the hope of being promoted to the Hedao state.

He holds a very high status in the temple, and is also a disciple of an elder of the Hedao sect.

Since the senior brothers in the hall have said so, the remaining junior brothers and sisters will naturally not bother about it.

Just by talking with Wei Zhong and others about sect affairs and various things that need to be paid attention to, Wei Zhong gained a better understanding of the Five Elements Immortal Sect.

After chatting for a few minutes, most of the fellow disciples said goodbye and left.

Only Wei Zhong, Yang Bao and Yao Zichen were left at the scene. "It's a pity that we were unable to find the rare treasure this time. It's such an ignominious return to the sect, and this disciple of our temple will most likely be laughed at," Yao Zichen said with emotion.

Wei Zhong suddenly realized:

"Why has the struggle within the sect reached this point?"

Yao Zichen sighed:
“It seems that Junior Brother Wu Se already has some understanding of the sect’s affairs.

"This search for rare treasures involves more than just this. Being laughed at and losing some face is not a big deal.

"But if things go wrong, the resource quota of my Chiyang Palace will be reduced in the next three hundred years."

Wei Zhong was surprised and turned to look at Yang Bao, trying to tell the truth from him.

The latter sighed and nodded:
"It is true. The importance of this mission and the fact that both our ancestor and Uncle Fang, who have achieved the perfection of the Dao, were dispatched at the same time are enough to show the sect's determination.

“But after three hundred years of gaining nothing, those old guys in the sect are already dissatisfied.

"When you go back this time, you two will most likely be reported at the elders' meeting.

“Reducing the resource quota of a palace has long been a common punishment method.

"Brother Wu Se, this is not a good time to join the sect."

Wei Zhong didn't expect that his interception would lead to such a trouble.

"A reduction in resource quotas is not a good thing for Senior Brother Yao, right?"

The latter nodded:
"Indeed, the elixir that Master promised me may be useless. It will take at least another three hundred years to gather the resources."

"pity……"

"But there is still hope." Yang Bao stroked his chin and looked at Wei Zhong with a smile.

“Although we lost a rare treasure scale this time, our ancestor and Master Fang found the genius Brother Wu Se.

“If Fellow Daoist Wu Se can shine in the sect, this punishment may be avoided.”

Wei Zhong pointed at himself, looking confused:
"I?"

Smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"How can I have such ability?"

"Alas, Junior Brother Wu Se, please do not underestimate yourself. Although my Five Elements Immortal Sect has several seventh-level alchemists, there is no one as young as you.

"Not to mention that he was able to refine a seventh-level elixir in the early stage of refining emptiness. This kind of feat is rare in the history of the Five Elements Immortal Sect."

Yao Zichen looked so sincere that Wei Zhong began to doubt for a moment whether he was really that powerful.

After a long helpless laugh, he said:

"The fact that I was able to refine the seventh-level elixir that time was just a coincidence caused by various reasons. If I were given another chance, it would be difficult to replicate it."

Yang Bao looked at Wei Zhong:

“Isn’t coincidence part of strength?

“There are so many coincidences in the world of cultivation, but why did this coincidence or luck of refining the elixir not happen to others, but to you, Wu Se?
"The theory of chance and destiny is illusory. It is difficult for us to trace it. We can only grope forward and pray for the favor of heaven.

"Being able to achieve such a great feat just proves that Brother Wu Se is the one favored by Heaven."

Wei Zhong was so shocked by Yang Bao's words that he was speechless.

'The fact that I was able to refine this seventh-level dragon blood pill was definitely influenced by the power of luck.

"Dajin..."

Suppressing his thoughts, Wei Zhong couldn't help but ask:
"Brother Yang, Brother Yao, does my Five Elements Immortal Sect have the art of luck?"

Yang Bao shook his head like a rattle and answered:

“No, my Five Elements Immortal Sect does not have such a method.

"The most similar thing to this within the sect is only the art of divination.

"There is no such thing as the art of luck."

Wei Zhong was surprised by the other party's reaction and felt confused.

'It is obvious that the True Demon Realm in the Small Thousand Worlds all have methods to cultivate luck, so why doesn't this dignified spiritual world immortal sect inheritance force have this technique?

"Looking at Yang Bao's reaction, it seems like he's avoiding it like a snake or scorpion, afraid of violating a taboo..."

"Although my Five Elements Immortal Sect does not have it, I have heard that there is a force that is proficient in this art," Yao Zichen said at the right time.

"Oh?" Wei Zhong looked expectant.

However, Yang Bao's additional words poured cold water on Wei Zhong:
"Brother Yao, are you talking about the Tiandao League?

"The other party was strangled by several major immortal sects like us tens of thousands of years ago, and their Taoist lineage was destroyed.

"If we don't search carefully in ancient books nowadays, where else can we find the three words 'Heavenly Alliance'?"

These words made Wei Zhong doubt again:

"Why? Did the Tiandao League commit a serious crime?"

Yang Bao shook his head:

"I don't know. Even our ancestors couldn't explain what happened tens of thousands of years ago, so how can we, the younger generation, understand it?"

“In short, fellow Taoist Wu Se, don’t be curious about this art of destiny.

"An entire Mahayana sect has fallen because of this, so why should we, with our frail arms and legs, go forward to join in?
"It will do you no good to stir up trouble."

Wei Zhong stroked his chin, as if in deep thought.

'Unfortunately, it seems that there is no way to find the way to ascend to the Great Jin in this spiritual world.'

Wei Zhong was always thinking about the sudden thunder tribulation, and also about the opportunity to help Dajin advance.

The supplies from the human world can only support it to reach the sixth level, but there is no way to reach the higher level seventh level.

But it is precisely the seventh-level luck protection that Wei Zhong needs.

'Do we need to find a solution from other worlds?
"Demon world, Kyushu..."

"Haha, Junior Brother Wu Se, don't take it to heart. Junior Brother Yang might just be trying to scare you.

“Instead of thinking about this kind of thing, it is better to think about how to choose the sect’s rewards after returning to the sect,” Yao Zichen immediately tried to smooth things over when he saw the depressing atmosphere.

"Reward?" Wei Zhong wondered.

The latter nodded and said:

“It is a reward. Although there is internal strife in my Five Elements Immortal Sect, we clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments for individual cultivators.

“There are rewards for making contributions, there are rewards for improving your cultivation, there are also rewards for refining magical instruments and even various elixirs.

“Junior Brother Wu Se has refined a seventh-tier elixir. If nothing goes wrong, you can choose a seventh-tier rare treasure from the sect’s treasury.

"Magic weapons, secret techniques, spiritual pets, and even inheritance from predecessors, etc...

"Everything in the sect's inventory is included in the selection."

"It turns out to be like this."

"For example, when I was promoted to the Void Refining Stage, I chose a Nine-Crystal Frozen Mist Robe from the sect's treasury. This treasure has saved me from life-threatening situations many times...

"Junior Brother Wu Se, you must seize this opportunity."

After saying that, the latter slowly left.

Yang Bao PS:

“Senior Brother Yao is right. Brother Wu Se can indeed choose a seventh-level treasure after refining a seventh-level elixir.

“This kind of opportunity is a regular reward within the sect, and fellow Daoist can choose some unconventional things.

“As for the pill formulas, alchemy and equipment inheritances that Daoyou needs, the sect will take the initiative to distribute them. There is no need to waste this opportunity.

"In my opinion, it is better to choose a protective treasure like Brother Yao did.

"A seventh-level treasured armor or robe is enough to allow you to walk sideways in the realm of refining emptiness. Even if you face an attack from the combined Dao, you will still have the power to defend against it..."
