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

Chapter 409: Krypton Level Twice, Northbound Plan

After returning from Xiaoluo Mountain, Wei Zhong immediately went into seclusion.

He dismissed outside visitors and concentrated on his practice.

Taking out the refined Tianfenling Zhendan, Wei Zhong tilted his head back and swallowed it.

As if swallowing a vortex of spiritual energy, Wei Zhong continuously practiced the "Five Elements Dao Building Sutra" to absorb and refine it.

Strands of spiritual energy escaping from the elixir were captured by Wei Zhong's meridians and transformed into magic power that circulated within his body.

"The effect of the seventh-level elixir is indeed extraordinary!"

After only refining a little bit, Wei Zhong felt that his cultivation level improved much faster than when he swallowed the Linglong Miaodan before.

Moreover, Wei Zhong's absorption and refining did not have much impact on the change of the pill's shape.

"This seventh-level elixir may take me several decades to refine."

Such a powerful medicinal effect made Wei Zhong feel very satisfied.

In this way, Wei Zhong has been immersed in seclusion and practice, and hundreds of years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The text information on the panel flashed, and Wei Zhong woke up from his retreat.

As soon as I opened my eyes, what I saw was the illusory text on the panel:
【Name: Wei Zhong】

[Cultivation: Late stage of Refining Void (9th level, %)]

【Shouyuan: 6880/10000】

There is no time for cultivation. After hundreds of years of seclusion, Wei Zhong entered the last small realm of Lianxu.

It is only a few hundred years away from the so-called perfection of refining the void.

"This is the blessing of the seventh-level spiritual vein and the seventh-level treasure pill."

This speed of improving his cultivation made Wei Zhong intoxicated and obsessed.

If there were no external disturbances, Wei Zhong might be able to continue practicing like this.

But it is not possible at this moment, because the small heavenly tribulation that a Void Refining cultivator encounters every three thousand years is about to come.

Wei Zhong could sense the mysterious danger targeting him in the sky.

This crisis cannot be avoided, let alone delayed.

Wei Zhong came out of seclusion, bid farewell to Luo Muxue, and left the Five Elements Immortal Sect.

After traveling thousands of miles, they arrived at a desolate place where few people had ever been and where few monks had ever been.

In the Demon Abyss Palace, Da Jin raised his head slightly, as if he understood that it was time for him to take action.

He opened his mouth and spit out a bubble. The power of luck contained in it was so thick that it even turned the entire bubble milky white.

As soon as Wei Zhong's soul was touched, it immediately covered Wei Zhong's soul and body.

Wei Zhong felt as if he had freed himself from some strange lock, and suddenly felt at ease.

"The Great Jin can still handle the first minor heavenly tribulation."

Wei Zhong murmured and looked up. Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and the disaster cloud had already formed.

Not sensing much threat from the thunder above his head, Wei Zhong put on the Cantianxu Lei Armor.

Magic power was injected into it, and the fifth-level thunder species was fully mobilized. The "Seven Aperture Thunder Power" that had not been used for a long time also started to work.

A ball of dazzling silver lightning enveloped Wei Zhong.

It was so dazzling that it was even more dazzling than the silver lightning rolling in the calamity clouds in the sky.

All the spiritual energy within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles was extracted by Wei Zhong, so that a huge spiritual energy vortex was condensed here.

It covered the sky and the sun, and even the small calamity cloud was covered by it.

"What a powerful vision! Could it be that a treasure has appeared?"

Although there were few monks coming and going around, there were always a few who were attracted by this strange sight.

Looking at the spiritual energy rolling in the sky, he swallowed, feeling awe in his heart, and dared not take another step forward.

These people were not only intimidated by the spiritual pressure in the air, but they also sensed a hint of deadly deterrence from within.

This is the power of heavenly calamity.

As a stumbling block on the path of cultivators, no cultivator can help but feel fear of the thunder tribulation bred by the heaven and earth.

This strange phenomenon of spiritual energy lasted for a full quarter of an hour before slowly dissipating.

The spiritual pressure in the sky disappeared and calm returned.

Even the inexplicable divine power disappeared.

Many monks flew in, wanting to see what caused this strange phenomenon.

"If a treasure is born, it will be a great opportunity..."

There were many monks who held such thoughts, but unfortunately, when these people flew into the core of the spiritual energy vortex, it had already dissipated.

All I saw were devastated mountains, with a charred black color that stretched for several miles, as if they had been burned to ashes by flames.

But when they saw the remnant silver lightning among the exposed rocks, they realized that this was not the place where a rare treasure was born, but clearly a place for transcending tribulation.

The monks strolled through it, terrified by the destructive power of thunder.

However, after exploring for a while, a monk made a discovery.

A green sprout emerged from the charred tree stump, and the vitality it exuded moved all the monks around it.

"Lightning-struck wood!"

As soon as he made a sound, he was robbed.

Although it looks like it is only at the fourth or fifth level, it is not worth mentioning at all to a high-level cultivator like Wei Zhong.

However, for cultivators who are still in the Jindan, Yuanying and Huashen stages, it is a treasure.

The wealth of many monks who have practiced for hundreds or thousands of years is not even worth this one lightning-struck wood.

Such numerous rare thunder treasures were constantly discovered by cultivators in this place, triggering one fight after another.

The source of this conflict, Wei Zhong, had already left this place and entered the Five Elements Immortal Sect.

After entering the sect to overcome the tribulation, Wei Zhong concealed his whereabouts and did not cause any waves within the sect.

Even Luo Muxue, Wei Zhong's bedmate, thought that Wei Zhong had gone out to visit a good friend.

The few days away from home are nothing compared to a cultivator's long lifespan.

After obtaining a large amount of spiritual materials collected by the Luo family from Xiaoluo Mountain, Wei Zhong did not rush back to the cave residence, but went to the spiritual medicine garden again.

Seeing the arrival of Wei Zhong, the seventh-rank alchemist, the Lianxu cultivator in charge of collecting elixirs was filled with fear and trepidation.

Wei Zhong looked at his young face and asked in confusion:
"Friend Cheng Dao is not here?"

The latter replied:

"Master Wu Se, could it be that he is talking about Senior Cheng Wenjie?"

Wei Zhong nodded slowly.

The young monk looked regretful:

"Senior Cheng went out a few days ago and encountered a robbery cultivator. He has died."

Wei Zhong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head:

"What a twist of fate."

As a member of the Cheng family, he has learned a lot of knowledge about spiritual medicine and is a high-level spiritual plant husband.

Although he is not good at fighting, he can use this identity to avoid overseas missions and stay in this spiritual medicine garden without caring about external affairs.

Wei Zhong didn't know why the latter suddenly left the sect.

This departure was bad luck.

"It is said that Senior Cheng purchased a lot of magic tools before leaving the sect, even a few of the so-called magic beads, but unexpectedly..."

Although the magic weapon Lingzhu is powerful, it also depends on who holds it. For cultivators who are not good at fighting, this thing is not much different from self-destruction.

"Can the sect investigate this matter?"

The young monk nodded:
"We have already sent our disciples there, and I believe we will get the result soon."

Wei Zhong did not ask any more questions, but took out his token and asked him to help pick herbs.

After a moment, the other party handed the storage bag and token to Wei Zhong.

"Senior, all the ingredients for the Heaven Burning Spirit Pill are in here."

Wei Zhong took the two items, checked them, and confirmed that they were correct before leaving.

After returning to the cave, Wei Zhong started to refine the elixir again.

After experiencing the effect of the seventh-level elixir, Wei Zhong found it difficult to rely on the slow speed of cultivation supported by the sixth-level elixir.

After a hundred days of preparation, Wei Zhong officially started the furnace.

Within a few days, the spiritual energy cyclone appeared again above Zixiao Court.

Such a scene made Luo Muxue, who was in seclusion, raise her head.

"My husband is refining the elixir again?"

He seems to have become numb to the situation.

He was only slightly excited for a moment, then he became silent again, sensing that he was about to break through the bottleneck of his cultivation, and entered a state of concentrated practice again.

"Are you refining the seventh-level elixir again?"

Zixiaoting is located on a section of the seventh-level spiritual vein, surrounded by other caves.

There are many Hedao monks living there.

Wei Zhong had only moved here a few hundred years ago, but he had already refined seventh-grade elixirs twice, which made these Hedao monks marvel.

After all, these hundreds of years are too short in their lifespan, even shorter than the time they spend in seclusion.

Moreover, there are very few seventh-level alchemists who refine pills so frequently.

Miraculous medicines are hard to come by, and the situation where the furnace is opened once every thousands of years is the epitome of the immortal sect's alchemists.

Inside the Zixiao Courtyard, Wei Zhong's expression turned slightly uglier as he looked at the alchemy furnace.

"As expected, if you walk along the beach often, your shoes will get wet."

Wei Zhong made a mistake in refining the elixir this time and the furnace almost exploded.

Fortunately, Wei Zhong used his own means to suppress the medicinal power in the furnace, and picked out the essence again like peeling off silk threads from an onion, and condensed the pill body again.

Although the prototype of the elixir had been formed, Wei Zhong knew as soon as he sensed it that this elixir was far inferior to the one he had refined last time.

Looking up at the sky, dark clouds gathered in the sky but failed to condense, as if even this elixir or this heavenly tribulation was not worthy of being rewarded.

However, under Wei Zhong's gaze, the calamity cloud brewed for a long time and finally condensed successfully.

Wei Zhong flew out with the alchemy furnace, took out the prototype of the elixir, injected Xuanqing Qi into it, and threw it under the calamity cloud.

Just a flash of lightning struck, and the thunder in the sky quickly dissipated as if it had completed its mission.

This time, the tribulation-transcending process was so short that it was the first time Wei Zhong had seen it in his thousands of years of cultivation.

He shook his head slightly, took back the elixir in the air, and saw a elixir pattern on it.

"It's the lowest of the low-quality ones, but fortunately it's still a seventh-level one."

After collecting the elixir and returning to the cave, Wei Zhong did not swallow the elixir to practice cultivation right away, but instead analyzed the process of refining the elixir just now.

“The frequent accidents were ultimately due to a misunderstanding of pharmacology, which led to a conflict of medicinal forces in the furnace and nearly caused an explosion.

"Next time you have to take it slow and don't rush things."

Wei Zhong summed up his gains and losses, and only after he had absorbed all the experience of this alchemy refining did he look at the panel intently:
“I only have a little over 3,000 years left to live. Although it is enough for me to cultivate to the perfection of the Void Refining Realm, it is not enough for me to use the [Time Dao Law] many times during this process to deal with life-and-death crises.

"We are in a safe situation and have plenty of resources. We should take advantage of this opportunity to restore our lifespan."

Focusing his eyes on the panel, Wei Zhong saw a line of text:
"If you level up once in the late stage of Refining Void, you can live for 800 years."

Wei Zhong looked at his cultivation level at the ninth level of the Refining Void Late Stage, and with a determined heart, he silently recited in his heart:

"Krypton level twice!"

Along with Wei Zhong's thoughts, the text on the panel changed, the magic power in his body was lost, and at the same time, an inexplicable vitality force emerged from deep within his body and even his soul.

After some changes disappeared, Wei Zhong looked at the panel again and saw:
【Name: Wei Zhong】

[Cultivation: Late stage of Refining Void (Seventh level, 9%)]

【Shouyuan: 5280/10000】

After his cultivation level dropped by two levels, Wei Zhong retreated from the top stage of the late stage of Refining Void to the beginning of the late stage of Refining Void.

Instead, the bone age decreased by 1,600 years.

Wei Zhong became younger, and the renewed vitality in his body made him feel particularly comfortable.

"It's better to be young, according to the life span of cultivators, I should be middle-aged in the Refining Void stage now.

"At this age, having reached the late stage of Refining Void, there is still plenty of time to strive for Refining Void Perfection and wait for the integration of Dao."

Shaking his head slightly, Wei Zhong felt his own realm lowering and his magic power draining away.

"With the help of the Heavenly Soul Burning Pill, it will be enough to make up for this cultivation in less than a thousand years. I can also make a profit of eight or nine hundred years from the difference, so it's not a loss at all."

After completing the krypton level, Wei Zhong raised his head, swallowed the elixir in his hand, and immersed himself in practice again.

As time passed, Wei Zhong continued to repeat the cycle of refining elixirs, refining Qi, and meditating.

In addition to daily practice, Wei Zhong did not forget the Luo family.

The clan's magic weapon business was then revived, and several young sixth-rank weapon refiners emerged in the clan, who were much more clever and smarter than those old guys.

With just a few pointers from Wei Zhong, one person absorbed the essence of weapon refining and entered the realm of a seventh-level weapon refiner.

At this point, after thousands of years, a seventh-level weapon refiner appeared again in the Luo family.

Such deeds made the entire Luo family excited, and they were all excited about the continuation of their family's heritage.

Even other clans of the Five Elements Immortal Sect were aware of this drastic change and sent gifts of congratulations.

Yang Jing, as the master of Chiyang Palace, was also quite pleased about this.

However, the appearance of this seventh-rank weapon refiner caused some strange voices to appear within the Luo family.

Some people believe that the Luo family is now capable of surviving independently and no longer needs to be controlled by Wei Zhong.

Over the past thousand years, all the profits made by the Luo family were taken away by Wei Zhong, and most of them were even rare spiritual materials of the sixth or seventh grade.

This distribution method has long caused dissatisfaction among some members of the Luo family.

The reappearance of this seventh-rank weapon refiner seemed to give these people hope that the Luo family would become independent again.

Unfortunately, they still overestimated themselves.

"Master, there has been a lot of turmoil in my Luo family recently. Do you want to deal with it?"

Wei Zhong stared at the fire in front of him, his expression did not change at all, and his sight did not move at all:
"This is your Luo family's affair. You can handle it on your own. I have no right to interfere."

After hearing Wei Zhong's reply, the young Taoist nodded slowly:

"Master, rest assured. I will definitely take care of those good-for-nothings."

Wei Zhong did not answer, but whispered:

"Don't be distracted. Help me keep a steady eye on the fire. I'll be back soon."

The latter took the formation plate that controlled the earth fire from Wei Zhong and saw Wei Zhong leave the weapon refining room.

Wei Zhong flew to the reception room and bowed to the monks:
"Hello, Senior Brother. Is there any news from the north?"

Hou Yanbin took the teacup from Luo Muxue and nodded:
“Yes, in twenty years, a large spiritual boat will leave our Five Elements Immortal Sect’s territory and head to Tianyin Leishan.

"There are monks from our sect guarding it, so its safety is guaranteed. If you insist on going north, you can go with this boat."
