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

Chapter 384: Rumors of the Immortal Across the Dark Abyss
Wei Zhong’s attack includes the Five Elements Spirit Pearls and the Double Shining Spirit Drums.

In comparison, the defensive measures seem pitifully few.

The only things worth mentioning on him were a sixth-grade mid-quality wooden shield and the Five Elements Spiritual Light Technique.

There is really no means to resist the attack of Hedao.

"But since I have the [Time Dao Fa] and the weapon refining skills, I am not in a hurry to use this seventh-level defense method."

Wei Zhong made up his mind that this time he would stay in the Five Elements Immortal Sect for a long time.

It is used to improve one's own foundation, increase one's Taoism, and improve the art of alchemy and refining.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, they will not leave the sect to get involved in something dangerous.

In such an environment, there is no danger to worry about, and defensive treasures seem a bit useless.

"It would be better to choose a method to isolate and move the spirit veins, and start to control the spirit veins under the Wind Hunter Tribe in the demon world."

Wei Zhong was very concerned about the broken immortal weapon.

"Let's get to the Immortal Sect first."

Yang Bao nodded:

"That's true. With Brother Wu Se's status, even if he doesn't take the initiative to exchange, the sect will still issue self-defense measures...

"This voyage will take at least three months until we reach the Immortal Sect. There is a training room inside the spirit boat, and Brother Wu Se can use it with his disciple token."

After bowing to Wei Zhong, Yang Bao left.

This trip to the Five Elements Immortal Sect requires crossing the entire Chong'an Spiritual Realm and most of the Five Elements Spiritual Realm.

The distance traveled is many times greater than the north-south span of Baifeng Spiritual Realm.

It will naturally take quite a while.

This is still below the sailing speed of high-level spirit boats such as the Chiyang Boat.

If Wei Zhong were to set out alone on his own spirit boat, it would take at least nearly a year.

The vastness of the spiritual world is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

After looking at the scenery on the spirit boat, Wei Zhong felt a little bored.

Only then did he step into the spirit boat cabin and find the training room of the Lianxu monk.

There seems to be a way to enlarge the space inside the spirit boat.

From the outside, the training room looked only about ten meters in size, but once you entered, it turned out to be a cave of more than sixty meters in size.

There are alchemy rooms, weapon refining rooms and even practice rooms inside.

Wei Zhong sensed the spiritual energy around him:

"A sixth-level spiritual land. Could there be another spiritual vein inside this Red Sun Boat?"

The voyage of such a huge spiritual boat naturally requires power. Absorbing external free spiritual energy is part of it, but internal supply is still important.

Looking at the spiritual patterns on the ground, Wei Zhong shook his head:

"Although it is only a lower grade sixth rank, it is sufficient for cultivation."

The spirit boat flew high in the sky along the predetermined route and crossed the border between Baifeng Spirit Realm and Chong'an Spirit Realm.

In the sky of Chong'an Spiritual Realm, it continued to sail towards the direction of the Five Elements Immortal Sect.

As a large spiritual boat, the Chiyang Boat naturally has some space for entertainment.

There are various entertainment venues here, similar to the cruise ships in the previous life. There are all kinds of spiritual food and even spiritual wine available inside. There are also special training rooms that can assist monks in their practice or forge various precious materials and refine weapons...

However, Wei Zhong stayed inside the Lingzhou Cave to practice and had no intention of going out.

During the voyage of the spirit boat, many fellow disciples invited Wei Zhong to go out and relieve their boredom, but he politely declined them all.

Until one day, when the Chiyang Boat stopped over a deep abyss, Wei Zhong went out.

Looking at the abyss below, he murmured:

"Is this the Ge Ming Yuan?"

Yang Bao had already disappeared, and even Senior Brother Yao had disappeared among the many disciples.

Staring at the abyss below, Wei Zhong recalled the information about this secret place.

Across the abyss, the area becomes larger as you go down, and it becomes an inverted pyramid structure that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.

There are dead bodies lurking inside, and it is filled with all kinds of rare and feminine treasures.

For most monks, it is a treasure land where danger and opportunity coexist.

"I just don't know whether the danger that threatened the Void Refining cultivators last time has been resolved..."

Including Wei Zhong’s former friend, Taoist Yuhui of Xuanxiao Sect, and many Lianxu and Huashen cultivators were buried in this secret place.

The Chiyang Palace Lianxu who was passing by blocked the road:

"Junior brother, is Palace Master Yang here?"

The other party smiled:
"Senior Brother Wu Se came up a little late. The Palace Master has already taken many of his fellow disciples down the boat and headed to our sect's base below..."

Wei Zhong heard the other party's explanation and it seemed that the spirit boat stopped here because it received a message halfway.

Looking up behind the Chiyang Boat, that's where the Shuiyun Boat is.

The other party was also stagnant in the air. I wonder if Master Fang had also stepped into the base below.

Just as Wei Zhong was guessing, a beam of light flew over and revealed Qin Zhihui's figure outside the Chiyang Boat.

After the disciple token was verified, the defensive aura on the outside of the spirit boat was like squeezing a bubble and taking it into the interior of the spirit boat.

"Senior Sister Qin..."

Many disciples of the Chiyang Palace came to greet them.

The other party dealt with it for a few moves before coming to Wei Zhong.

"I've met fellow Taoist Qin!"

The other party returned the greeting and said:
"Brother Wu Se, I'm afraid we need to stay here for a while."

Wei Zhong looked surprised:

"But something unexpected happened in this abyss?"

The latter shook his head:
"It can't really be called a sudden change. If anything, it's just a new level of exploration.

“A few days ago, I received a message from the sect that a new defensive formation was discovered deep in the Geming Abyss, which is suspected to be the cave residence left behind by a senior.

"The Chong'an Spiritual Territory has been under attack for a long time, so we are asking for help from Master and Uncle Yang."

"Array? Is there a brand new array in this ruins?"

Qin Zhihui shook her head:
"I'm not sure. It is said that it is a Nine Nether Forbidden Array that combines the characteristics of the Netherworld Abyss. It has a large amount of Yin energy injected into it. It is several times stronger than ordinary magic arrays..."

“It will take anywhere from a month to a year to break the formation, so we need to stay here.

"Since the voyage is delayed, would you like to take a look at the secret place of Gemingyuan below?"

Looking down at the abyss that looked like an eye, Wei Zhong slowly shook his head:

"I won't go anymore..."

Qin Zhihui left disappointed.

After a while, Wei Zhong said hello to the monk guarding the boat and left the spirit boat alone.

Flying down, he gradually came into sight of the densely populated market town outside the Abyss.

This secret place has been developed for more than a thousand years, and a gathering place that far exceeds Feiyu Fairy City has long been formed on the periphery.

There are many cultivators inside, and even there are quite a few Void Refining cultivators.

It is a treasure land where resources flow.

“The dangers in the Nether Abyss are unpredictable, but the Nether Abyss Market outside is extremely safe.

"It just so happens that the spirit boat is stopping here, so I can collect some of the feminine treasures flowing out of the Nether Abyss..."

Qin Zhihui escaped to the inner part of the abyss. Fang Jingwan turned around and asked:
"how?"

Qin Zhihui shook her head:

“Fellow Daoist Wu Se doesn’t seem interested in this.”

Someone nearby couldn't help but joked:

"Not interested, are you afraid? The alchemists and weapon refiners of the Chiyang Palace are all of the same character. They would rather stay in the sect and play with the fireballs in their hands than go out to explore the secret treasure land..." His words were interrupted by Fang Jingwan:
"Junior Sister Wang, be careful with your words!

“I know you don’t get along with some fellow Taoists in the Red Sun Palace, but you’d better remain humble to Wu Se.

"He has just joined the Immortal Sect and has not yet completed his affiliation with the various sects. This is a good time to cultivate friendship. You will inevitably need his help in the future."

The latter took a deep breath but did not refute.

"If you don't want to come, then don't come. Fellow Daoist Yang has brought Fellow Daoist Yue and others to investigate the location of the Yin Vein in this area. As long as the local Yin Vein can be cut off, the Nine Nether Forbidden Array will be dissolved...

"We have also handled a major task for the sect, which is enough to offset some of our mistakes.

"It will also be convenient for you, Junior Sister Wang..."

This cultivator named Wang was exactly one of the Hedao cultivators arranged by the Five Elements Immortal Sect to be stationed in the Gemingyuan. He was also born in the Shuiyun Palace and had reached the middle stage of Hedao cultivation.

Not far away, Yang Jing and another person were walking in the gloomy and dark atmosphere.

There were also many Void-Refining cultivators following behind him, holding various magical instruments in their hands, hammering around, moving from time to time, and conducting some kind of measurement.

"almost!"

Yang Jing said as he looked at the surging Yin energy in front of him and the spiritual light of the formation behind the Yin energy.

"Thank you for your help, Brother Yang."

The monk named Yue beside him bowed.

"Where."

Yang Jing turned his head and what caught his eye was a child half his height, floating in the air, his half-grown body barely level with Yang Jing.

He is short in stature and has a childish face.

Those who don’t know the situation might think that the latter is a child around ten years old.

In fact, he is a thousand-year-old monster.

He is the master of the Yang Palace among the twelve palaces of the Five Elements Immortal Sect, and one of the nine masters, Yue Mingyu.

The method practiced by the latter is not related to the Five Elements, but is a rather unique personal method.

When he first set foot on the path to immortality, he was just an old man with white hair. As his cultivation deepened, he became younger and younger, until he became a boy who had achieved perfection in the way of Tao.

Because his method is in conflict with the negative energy in the abyss, he was sent to guard this secret place and coordinate the exploitation of resources for cultivation.

Yang Jing was gentle and polite to this person.

He knew in his heart that although the monk in front of him looked harmless, his actual strength was even stronger than his own.

"I heard that Brother Yang found an extraordinary disciple in the Five Elements Immortal Sect?"

Yang Jing nodded slowly, revealing a hint of pride:

"Indeed, a seventh-level alchemist in the early stage of refining emptiness."

The latter had heard of this, but still couldn't stop the look of surprise on his face:

"You are indeed very talented. Do you want to take me as your disciple? If not, how about letting me be your disciple?"

Yang Jing shook his head:

"You are a great Tiantong Zhenren, but you don't know how to make an elixir. Why do you accept this disciple? It's a waste of his talent.

"Besides, I myself have not accepted any disciples, so I want to leave this to Senior Brother Yun."

Seeing this, Yue Mingyu joked:
"Senior Brother Yun is traveling around the world, looking for an opportunity to attain Mahayana, but he may not be interested in this young man."

Yang Jing scratched his hair indifferently:
"It's just right that you are not interested. I will accept him as my last disciple and train him to help me manage the Red Sun Palace."

Yue Mingyu looked suspicious:
"What are you planning, Brother Yang?"

"Alas, I heard that there are signs of the sun's true essence being generated in the west, and I want to go and compete for it."

Yue Mingyu remained silent and reminded:
“Fellow Daoist Yang, be careful, those guys from Sui Chan Sect are not to be trifled with.

"Especially in the past thousand years, there have been rumors of immortals from the upper realm descending to the world. I'm afraid those guys will rely on the power of the immortals behind them to kill people..."

Yang Jing shook his head:

"So what if an immortal descended to the world? He has someone above him in the Zen sect, so isn't there anyone above me in the Five Elements Immortal Sect?

"We are all under the command of the Immortal Palace, how can we be afraid of him?"

"That's not the case. The other immortal is here, but the immortal ancestors above us are still enjoying the blessings in the immortal world.

“When you are under someone’s roof, it’s better to keep your head down.”

Yang Jing nodded reluctantly.

"I'm afraid other Taoist friends in the sect will also be interested in the matter of the Sun Essence this time..." Yue Mingyu was talking freely, but he heard Yang Jing say:

"Friend Yue is not interested?"

The latter smiled:
"I am still young, so I should give the opportunity to you."

Yang Jing shook his head. He couldn't believe such nonsense.

"As a practitioner, we should strive to advance vigorously and strive for everything. How can the younger give way to the older?"

Yang Jing thought that this person just heard the rumors about the immortal and became afraid.

But on second thought, the latter are indeed the youngest among their peers.

"It's a pity that Fellow Daoist Yue joined the sect a little late and did not switch to practicing the immortal methods of our sect. Otherwise, he might have already reached the Mahayana stage."

“I dare not hope to reach the Mahayana realm.

"Besides, if I change my cultivation method, I might still be stuck in the Refining Void stage."

"That's true..."

"Ancestor, Uncle Yue, the inspection has been completed."

Yang Bao's voice came from behind.

"In that case, call Junior Sister Fang over, and we will start breaking the formation."

"Very good!"

Wei Zhong flew down from the market town outside the Nether Abyss, wearing the robe of the Immortal Sect without concealing his identity.

In a place like this, identity means safety.

Pretending to be a casual cultivator is far less convenient than revealing one's identity as a member of an immortal sect.

Look, Wei Zhong just stood at the door, and the guards outside the market took the initiative to step forward.

“Hello, senior!
"Senior, are you going to buy some good stuff in the Mingyuan Market?"

The guarding monk was smart. As soon as he saw the robe, he knew that Wei Zhong was a master of the Void Refining Realm from the Five Elements Immortal Sect.

Especially this face, which does not match the several Lianxu masters in his memory at all.

At the same time, he understood that Wei Zhong came down from the spirit boat above.

When you first arrive, you need a guide.

Wei Zhong nodded slowly. Mingyuan Market was too big and he needed the guidance of a cultivator who was familiar with the place.

"I am very familiar with this Mingyuan Market, and can serve as a guide for you, senior."

After saying this, he took off his clothes and threw them to another monk beside him:
"Brother Hu, please help me take over. I will serve you at Tianxiang Tower later."

"okay!"

The latter jumped up from the stone, wearing guard clothes, and stood in front of the archway.

Wei Zhong looked at this scene in surprise. The monk had already pointed his finger inside the archway:
"Senior!"

The two of them took a step forward and officially entered the Mingyuan Market.

During the conversation, Wei Zhong learned that this man's name was Fan Zhi, and he was a native cultivator of Chong'an Spiritual Realm, and he had been on duty as a guard here for more than a hundred years.

"Can the guards of this Mingyuan Market be replaced so easily?"

The latter sighed:
“Senior, you may not know that this guard is just a facade, and there are at least hundreds of people under his charge.

“That brother Hu is also on the list, so it won’t be against the rules for him to cover for me.

"Besides, in this market ruled by He Dao, is there any Jie Xiu who dares to do whatever he wants?"

Wei Zhong patted his clothes:
"That's true!"
