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

Chapter 410: The Method of Inducing Disaster
"A Hedao monk, I wonder?"

Hou Yanbin naturally explained:
"I am Elder Duan Yuduan from the Chiyang Palace, Elder Bao Lechuan from the Diling Palace, and Elder Fang Jingwan from the Shuiyun Palace."

"There are actually three Hedao masters? Even Fang Jingwan, one of the nine masters, was asked to leave. Could it be that she has been given another important task by the sect?"

Although Wei Zhong was confused, he did not ask.

"Thank you for the news, Senior Brother. I plan to make some preparations in the next few days and set off on this spiritual boat."

Hou Yanbin sighed when he heard this. He didn't understand why "Wuse" was staying well within the Immortal Sect but had to go out and make trouble.

"Could it be that you listened to Namba's slander?"

"What a pity, Junior Brother, now that you are gone, I don't know when I can see Master again."

Yun Fengyao took the two spiritual objects needed to advance to the Mahayana stage and went into secret seclusion.

Even Hou Yanbin, the eldest disciple, didn't know the other party's whereabouts.

However, more than a thousand years have passed since the incident, and no one dares to predict the other party's current condition.

Wei Zhong also didn't know when this Mahayana master would be able to come out of seclusion.

There is a high probability that we won’t be able to wait for the remaining twenty years.

Wei Zhong bid farewell to Hou Yanbin, and Luo Muxue walked forward behind him:

"Husband plans to travel north?"

Wei Zhong nodded calmly, turned around to look at Luo Muxue, and rubbed her hair:
"I'm afraid my trip will not be long. If you can't defend this seventh-level cave, then don't defend it.

"Return it, and you can move back to the Luo family or rent a cave on your own. It's up to you.

"..."

After hearing Wei Zhong's words, he understood that Wei Zhong had no intention of taking him with him when he left.

He wanted to express his thoughts on the trip, but after hearing Wei Zhong's detailed arrangements, he was suddenly speechless.

"Don't worry, my dear husband. I will wait for you to return here."

At this, Wei Zhong simply patted the latter on the shoulder:

"take care."

Returning to the weapon refining room, Wei Zhong dispersed the Luo family disciples and refined the weapon alone.

Three years passed like this, and one day spiritual energy flowed back into the Zixiao Court.

Wei Zhong stood up holding a golden spirit bead.

"The seventh-level wind-fixing bead is finally done."

Wei Zhong sensed the latter's grade, which was not only grade seven, but also the middle grade.

It took Wei Zhong seven years and a half of red-gold sand and various seventh-level spiritual materials to successfully refine it.

Holding the spirit pearl in his hand, Wei Zhong was delighted by the spiritual light on it.

The ritual was completed and Wei Zhong injected his magic power into it. The flow of spiritual energy in the refining room suddenly stopped, as if the pause button was pressed.

After playing with it for a while, Wei Zhong was very satisfied with this Wind-Fixing Bead:

"However, we still need to see how effective it is."

Wei Zhong turned around and escaped into the demon world, found a group of demon dragons, and activated the Wind-Fixing Pearl.

Regardless of their species, all of these evil dragons were trapped within the influence range of the Wind-Fixing Bead.

"It's less effective against demon dragons of other attributes, but it's definitely very effective against wind demon dragons."

Wei Zhong went deeper into the Wind Hunting Spirit Land. With the protection of the seventh-level Wind-Fixing Bead, Wei Zhong was able to move freely throughout the cave.

Ordinary strong winds could not get close to Wei Zhong's body. Even inside the cave where the immortal artifacts were stored, Wei Zhong could only take a few steps.

"The magic weapon is very good, the only problem is that my cultivation is too low. It is still too difficult for me to use a seventh-level magic weapon in the Void Refining Stage."

Wei Zhong's mana is limited and cannot withstand consumption at all, and the quality of his mana is also unable to fully activate it.

Familiar with the effects of the Wind-Fixing Bead, Wei Zhong returned to the Five Elements Immortal Sect and searched for resources during his final stay.

And Yu Lingxiao Pavilion took advantage of the previous opportunity to exchange for several seventh-level pill recipes.

Most of them are recipes for practicing elixirs, which Wei Zhong will use in his next journey.

"The Tianfenling Zhendan can find suitable medicinal materials in the Five Elements Immortal Sect, but it may not be the case in other places."

After packing up the pill recipe, Wei Zhong went to collect the final share of spiritual medicine. Then, through his connections within the Immortal Sect, he successfully gathered together the spiritual materials for refining two Tianfenlingzhen pills.

Wei Zhong did not let the Luo family go either. After the warning from the weapon refiner's disciple, the discordant voices in the entire Luo family disappeared.

Wei Zhong took out most of the profits he had earned in recent years and searched the Luo family's treasury to collect a large number of seventh-level spiritual objects in case of emergency.

After preparing everything, Wei Zhong finally practiced with peace of mind, waiting for the agreed spirit boat to set sail.

Wei Zhong opened his eyes in Zixiao Court and fixed his gaze on the panel:

【Name: Wei Zhong】

[Cultivation: Late stage of Refining Void (28th level, %)]

【Shouyuan: 6280/10000】

After spending a thousand years, Wei Zhong's cultivation level returned to the late stage of Refining Void (ninth level). Similarly, his lifespan also increased to more than six thousand years.

Although there are only more than 3,000 years left, which is only enough for Wei Zhong to perform the Time Dao Spell three times, but Wei Zhong has reached the ninth level of cultivation and still has a chance to temporarily upgrade.

"It can be considered that I have a certain ability to protect myself!"

Wei Zhong came out of seclusion, bid farewell to Luo Muxue, and flew all the way towards the main hall of Chiyang Palace.

Here I met Yang Jing and Yang Bao.

Both of them saw Wei Zhong off with complicated expressions.

"Thank you, Senior Yang, for your care over the years. Thank you, Brother Yang..."

"Brother Wu Se, do we have to go on this trip?"

Yang Bao understood that Wei Zhong’s journey would not be short-term.

Maybe it will take at least two or three thousand years.

"It's just a trip, Brother Yang, why do you say that? When I get tired of traveling, I will naturally come back. I hope to meet you then. Brother Yang is already a person of harmony with the Tao, an elder in the palace..."

After saying goodbye and blessing, the magic formation under Wei Zhong's feet lit up, and his figure disappeared in a flash.

Yang Jing sighed, brushed his sleeves, and retreated back to the hall.

Yang Bao also had a complicated expression as he looked towards the direction of Shuiyun Palace.

Wei Zhong's figure flashed and appeared above the Shuiyun Palace's teleportation formation.

All around were immortal sect monks in various robes, and above their heads was a huge spirit boat.

It was the Shuiyun Lingzhou, one of the twelve boats of the Immortal Sect.

This trip north was originally an internal mission of the Five Elements Immortal Sect. Bringing disciples and even individual cultivators to the north was to reduce the cost of the trip.

Wei Zhong walked through the crowd and met Qin Zhihui, whom he had not seen for a long time, on the first floor of the pavilion.

The other party has a deep aura. After thousands of years, he has become a cultivator in the late stage of Refinement Void and is constantly climbing towards the realm of Integration of Dao.

Seeing Wei Zhong coming, he immediately dismissed the fellow disciples who were communicating with him, walked up to Wei Zhong and said:
"Fellow Daoist Wu Se has arrived. Master has been waiting for a long time..."

After saying that, he took Wei Zhong out of the crowd and headed towards the Shuiyun main hall.

"That person is the Five Colors Master in our sect. I heard that he is an expert in both elixirs and weapons. Why doesn't he stay in the sect? Is he going to follow us north?" "..."

Ignoring the discussions behind them, Wei Zhong and Qin Zhihui came to the main hall, where they met the Hedao monk who had been waiting there for a long time.

In addition to Fang Jingwan, the master of this hall, there is also Duan Yu from Chiyang Hall mentioned by Hou Yanbin and Master Bao Dan from Diling Hall.

"I've met Uncle Master!"

Wei Zhong bowed to Fang Jingwan, and then bowed to the other two:

"Hello, two elders!"

Fang Jingwan and Wei Zhong were quite familiar with each other as they had received favors from each other.

Duan Yu is a Hedao who has been in charge of Lingxiao Pavilion for many years, and Wei Zhong also has some interactions with him.

When he saw Wei Zhong coming, he nodded friendly without saying anything more.

As for Bao Lechuan at the end, it was a bit embarrassing.

During his last trip to Muyuan Palace, he had intended to compete with Wei Zhong in terms of his speed in alchemy for the Cantianxu Lei Armor, but unfortunately the other party's furnace exploded and he lost the qualification to compete.

Such a shameful thing made him feel uneasy, and his expression turned a little ugly when he looked at Wei Zhong.

When the other party heard Wei Zhong's greeting, he was indifferent. He snorted and ignored him.

Fang Jingwan saw the subtle relationship between the two and ignored it, but instead asked Wei Zhong about his plans for this trip.

When Fang Jingwan learned that Wei Zhong's goal was not just the Tianyin Leishan Mountain in the north, but that he wanted to travel the entire spiritual world as much as possible, she showed a hint of surprise:
"I underestimated you. You entered the Immortal Sect and stayed there for a thousand years. I thought..."

What the other party was talking about was Wei Zhong’s performance after entering the Five Elements Immortal Sect.

It has not just been a thousand years, Wei Zhong has even been there for more than two thousand years, and on the surface he has never left the Five Elements Immortal Sect.

There was no other way. There were simply too many resources within the Immortal Sect, and Wei Zhong didn't need to take risks outside to obtain funds for his practice.

Wei Zhong's weapon refining and alchemy skills are completely beyond his level. It would be a joke if his seventh-level alchemy and weapon refining skills could not support a mere Void-Refining cultivator like Wei Zhong.

Therefore, there is no shortage of resources for cultivation. Wei Zhong even has family forces like the Luo family under his command, who help Wei Zhong deal with trivial matters and save Wei Zhong's time for cultivation.

The same goes for martial arts. Lingxiao Pavilion has all kinds of martial arts.

The pill recipes Wei Zhong needs, as well as the inheritance of alchemy and refining can all be found in it.

There is no need to go out and look for opportunities.

It is precisely because of the rich resources within the Immortal Sect that Wei Zhong has stayed here, constantly absorbing and digesting them, and then transforming them into his own power.

"After thousands of years of isolation, I am not afraid of encountering robbery and losing my life when I go out."

Bao Lechuan sneered at Wei Zhong's words, but he remained calm and even smiled:

"I am a young generation who was born as a casual cultivator, so I naturally have many conflicts. I don't need to worry about this, Elder Bao.

"On the contrary, Elder Bao was born and raised in the Immortal Sect. I'm afraid he is not good at fighting, so he should be careful."

"You..." Bao Lechuan's face turned slightly red. He could naturally hear the sarcasm in Wei Zhong's words.

"You're cursing him to death!" Qin Zhihui was delighted to hear this, as she had long been unhappy with this Bao.

The relationship between Shuiyun Palace and Diling Palace has never been good, and Bao Lechuan is the worst among them. Relying on his identity as an alchemist, he has no respect for Fang Jingwan at all.

His behavior was so rude that even Duan Yu frowned when he saw it.

"Okay, Brother Bao, calm down. What Wu Se said is true. We have a long journey ahead of us, and any accidents could happen along the way.

"Brother Bao, please be more cautious and don't let anything go wrong during the mission."

The latter barely suppressed his anger and stopped talking, but his eyes were fixed on Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong was naturally not afraid and looked back decisively.

Wei Zhong is now in the late stage of Refining Void, and it is only a matter of a few hundred years before he reaches the state of He Dao.

Therefore, the fear of Hedao is much less.

Moreover, Bao Lechuan is just a flower and wood hammer. It is said that he made great efforts to set foot in Hedao. Since then, he has exhausted his potential and can only be stuck in the early stage of Hedao.

Compared with the other two Hedao masters around him, Duan Yu is in the middle stage of Hedao, and Fang Jingwan is in the peak late stage, their strength difference is not a little bit.

If it weren't for Bao Lechuan's identity as a seventh-rank alchemist, Wei Zhong even doubted whether the latter would have the opportunity to sit here.

The atmosphere between the two sides was in a stalemate, but fortunately Fang Jingwan spoke up to interrupt.

"Well, now that we have met, Zhihui, you can take little friend Wu Se down to have some rest."

"Yes, Master!"

Wei Zhong bowed and took his leave, following Qin Zhihui out of the main hall.

"There is still more than half a day before the Spirit Boat officially sets off. Fellow Daoist Wu Se can rest in this courtyard or wander around for a while, but remember not to go too far."

Wei Zhong nodded, and Qin Zhihui said goodbye and left, not knowing what she was busy with next.

Wei Zhong left the courtyard and wandered on the Lingfeng Peak.

The scarlet robe was inconspicuous as he moved among the crowd.

Because at this moment, the main peak of the Shuiyun Palace was already filled with colorful robes.

It's not just Wei Zhong who is a disciple of the Chiyang Palace. There are disciples from the Tianfen Palace, the other five elements palaces, and even the Yin and Yang Palaces.

Only a few people came here to ride the spirit boat, and there were also many people who came to watch the fun.

Before the spirit boat is officially launched, gathering so many monks from different sects is perfect for trading with each other.

Wei Zhong inspected the place along the way, bought some small items, and met some familiar faces in the crowd.

Yu Xinyi.

Le Xinghai's Taoist partner, but he was alone here, and there was no sign of Le Xinghai beside him.

Wei Zhong approached to start a conversation. When the other party saw that it was Wei Zhong, he was surprised for a moment:
"Greetings, Master Wu Se. My husband was injured during the minor heavenly tribulation and is now recuperating in the cave."

"Little Tianjie was injured?"

Following Yu Xinyi away, Wei Zhong saw Le Xinghai in the Lingfeng Cave not far away.

The other party was sitting cross-legged in a dense spiritual formation, his black hair was mostly gray, his face was haggard, and he looked a little scary.

"Fellow Daoist Wu Se is here!"

When he saw Wei Zhong, he was surprised for a moment and then invited Wei Zhong to sit not far away.

Wei Zhong stared at the latter's state and couldn't help but frown:

"Brother Le, how did you end up like this?"

After all, the other party is the son-in-law of Hedao and has the support of the Le family, so he should not be unable to survive a small heavenly tribulation.

Le Xinghai smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"This is not the first time I have encountered a minor heavenly tribulation... I was out training and encountered this difficulty in a secret place..."

Wei Zhong listened to what the other party said, and his expression gradually became surprised:

"The second minor heavenly tribulation was triggered ahead of time?"

The latter nodded:
“That’s right. My first minor heavenly tribulation was only over a thousand years ago, so the next one will be at least two thousand years away.

“But after going deep into that secret place, I don’t know what triggered it. When I left the secret place, the second minor heavenly tribulation was triggered without any warning.

“If I hadn’t already prepared to survive the catastrophe, I’m afraid Brother Wu Se wouldn’t have seen me for a few days.

"Unfortunately, I was seriously injured during the trip and didn't gain any benefits. I only got a method to trigger a disaster in advance."
