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

Chapter 422 Just the right time

The casting of the Dharma body was completed, Wei Zhong closed his eyes for a moment, and the calamity in his heart was over in an instant.

Wei Zhong opened his eyes, and a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes. As his consciousness gradually became clear, he murmured:
"This thunder magic inner demon tribulation is really different from the inner demon tribulation of spiritual cultivation."

During the recent mental calamity, Wei Zhong experienced several reincarnations.

Sometimes it is in the modern world of the previous life, and sometimes it is in the immortal world.

Sometimes one has no chance to become an immortal, and lives a life of mediocrity in the mortal world. Sometimes one accidentally steps into the immortal path, and dies unexpectedly while cultivating the path...

This kind of experience is similar to the devilish calamity in the rumors.

However, the inner tribulation that one experiences through spiritual practice is more like a fragmented experience or memory.

"Boom!"

Thunder exploded in the sky, interrupting Wei Zhong's thoughts.

"Forget it, let's deal with the thunder tribulation in front of us first."

Wei Zhong looked up and saw dark clouds in the sky. The calamity clouds had been successfully condensed, with silver snakes dancing wildly in them and a pillar of lightning falling down in an instant.

The lightning fell around Wei Zhong, and consumed the lightning energy on Wei Zhong's body.

Half of it was borne by Wei Zhong, while the other half was attracted by the talisman formation below, turning into scattered lightning balls and being absorbed by the spiritual plants in it.

“It really works!”

Wei Zhong looked surprised as he watched the lightning bolts falling one after another above his head.

Even the protective measures were not used, it was like being bathed in thunder.

With the seventh-level thunder-type body training, Wei Zhong’s resistance to thunder and lightning has become quite high.

Ordinary thunder could not cause any harm to Wei Zhong.

It was not until the seventh heavenly tribulation was about to descend that Wei Zhong put on the Cantianxu Lei Armor to protect himself.

Thunder from the sky fell, and out of ten lightning, twenty percent was dissipated by the precious armor, the remaining forty percent was borne by Wei Zhong, and the remaining forty percent was absorbed by the golden thunder talisman formation.

This continued for a few breaths, and the nine thunder tribulations passed in an instant. Wei Zhong uncovered the intact Cantianxu Lei Armor.

Looking at the calamity clouds spreading in the sky, he wondered:
"It seems that this thunder tribulation is just like this?"

Lei Long's voice rang in Wei Zhong's heart:

"After all, the Zhou Tian Lei Gong that Master is practicing is inherited from the upper realm, and its resistance to lightning is much stronger than other ordinary body-refining methods.

"These nine thunderbolts pose no threat to the master."

Wei Zhong nodded slowly and jumped down from the air. He saw that within the talisman formation formed by the golden thunder bamboo, the golden divine thunder bound many silver heavenly thunders.

Spiritual light was flowing in it, as if it was absorbing and refining it.

"After a few years, when all the gold thunder bamboos have been absorbed, their value will increase significantly."

With joy on his face, Wei Zhong moved the talisman array hill back to the Liefeng Spiritual Land, arranged an area for it alone, and asked the demon dragon to take good care of it.

After returning to the cave, Wei Zhong opened the space passage and stepped inside.

Seeing the familiar layout of Luoyun Cave, Wei Zhong clenched his right hand:

"Finally reached level seven."

The panel appears in the eyes:
【Name: Wei Zhong】

[Spiritual Cultivation: Late Refining Void (99th level, %)]

[Physical cultivation: Early seventh stage (first layer, 1%)]

【Shouyuan: 7997/10000】

After years of seclusion and practice, Wei Zhong not only cultivated his physical body to the seventh level, but also advanced his Void Refining to perfection.

Following the mysterious sensation, Wei Zhong realized that his own small heavenly tribulation was approaching.

"It takes about three hundred years. This small calamity is quite punctual."

Recalling the scene of my first minor tribulation, it seems like it was just yesterday.

"Time flies."

Wei Zhong came out of seclusion. He was not going to go through this second minor heavenly tribulation.

With the immortal descending from the mortal world by his side, minor heavenly tribulations are prone to unexpected events. Wei Zhong plans to take advantage of the last few hundred years to make good use of Tianyin Leishan to collect spiritual materials in preparation for a breakthrough to the Dao.

Looking at the contribution points accumulated on the disciple token, Wei Zhong went straight to the Transmission Hall.

On the way, Wei Zhong heard the audience disciples talking.

"Senior Brother Jie is truly a rare talent. He has taken the lead in entering the seventh level of body refining..."

"The Ascended Monk is indeed worthy of his reputation..."

"Well, he just found a good master. Senior Brother Zhao is not bad either. He achieved a breakthrough 20 years after following the latter.

"Senior Brother Wu will follow later..."

Wei Zhong realized at this moment that the competition for the position of the young master of Tianyin Leishan had reached its most intense period.

The young disciples in the sect entered a period of rapid development after reaching the seventh level.

Several strong contenders for the position of Young Sect Leader made breakthroughs during this period.

Such a situation greatly increased Tianyin Leishan's combined combat power.

"The winner becomes the young master, and the loser becomes the elder of the sect? The inheritance method of Tianyin Leishan is quite reasonable, unlike the chaotic Five Elements Immortal Sect."

Wei Zhong just made a joke and put the matter behind him.

Although Wei Zhong has already broken through to the seventh level, theoretically he also has the possibility of completing the ancient spiritual thunder species and participating in the competition.

But with a minor calamity approaching, Wei Zhong didn't have the leisure to do that.

Now he only wants to collect a batch of resources to prepare for his own breakthrough.

Concealing his seventh-level aura, Wei Zhong relied on the remaining contribution points in the token to enter the sixth floor of the Transmission Hall.

After searching for the recipe in it and checking it for a long time, I still felt that something was wrong.

Go up to the seventh floor and choose a recipe for elixir.

"Nine Purities Brewing Elixir."

"Draw the nine paths of pure energy from the world, the Three Pure Ones protect the essence, the Three Pure Ones protect the energy, the Three Pure Ones protect the spirit..."

It is one of the best seventh-grade elixirs in the Transmission Hall that can protect cultivators from breaking through to the state of He Dao.

It is also the most difficult batch to refine.

When seeing Wei Zhong Yilianxu taking the jade slip to exchange, the seventh-rank elder glanced at Wei Zhong:
"Are you ready to break through to the Dao? But this elixir is not easy to refine. In the history of Tianyin Leishan, there are only five people who have successfully refined this elixir.

"Instead of exchanging this, you might as well exchange it for Xiao Wuqing and Liu Tianyun. The chances of our sect's cultivators breaking through with these two pills will be even higher."

What the other party was talking about were two other types of the same kind of elixir.

However, according to the description in the jade slip, these two are much inferior to the Jiuqing Niang Lingdan, and their effects are biased and incomplete.

Wei Zhong has made up his mind:

"Thank you for your reminder, but I have already thought about it."

He handed over the disciple token, and the latter took it:
"Now that you have made up your mind, I will not persuade you any more."

Put the jade slip and token together and stick them into the small spiritual formation on the table.

With a flash of inspiration, Wei Zhong's contribution points were directly deducted.

The two items were returned to Wei Zhong, who gave him a reminder:
"I see that you are full of energy and vigor, and your eyes are full of lightning. Has your lightning technique reached a bottleneck?

"Why not go to the Heavenly Thunder Monument first to break through the seventh level, and then practice the Hedao, it will be much easier." "Thank you for the reminder, Elder."

After saying goodbye and leaving, Wei Zhong flew towards the Internal Affairs Pavilion. After a while, several high-level tasks appeared on the stone tablet on the Internal Affairs Pavilion.

"A seventh-level mission. Could it be that one of the disciples in the sect wants to break through to the Dao at this time to increase his own strength?"

This is a critical moment in the fight for the position of young sect leader, and any slight disturbance is enough to cause a huge uproar.

Although the task was left anonymous, the details of the task allowed the competitors to realize that this was the spiritual material needed to refine the "Nine Purities Spiritual Pill".

"Among the many fellow disciples, only Qiu Zhiyun has been unable to break through to the seventh level for a long time. Could it be that he wants to break through to the seventh level of Thunder Power after breaking through the He Dao?"

"Besides Qiu Zhiyun, it seems that Xie Yuanping is also in the late stage of Refining Void. Could it be that..."

Many voices of suspicion continued to spread among these people, and no one would have thought that Wei Zhong, an unknown person, would be collecting elixirs here.

When someone took the spiritual medicine in the mission to test it, they found that not only the name of the mission was hidden, but even the person behind the delivery process could not be seen.

"You really need to be careful. For the position of Young Sect Master, you are so cautious."

Qinghe took back the spirit stone in his hand, said something teasing, and turned away.

Many people tried it out, but unfortunately they gained nothing. Instead, Wei Zhong accumulated a lot of spiritual objects needed to refine the pill.

By the time everyone reacted, Wei Zhong had already collected 80% of them.

At this point, it was too late for everyone to interrupt the "competitor's" good deeds.

Wei Zhong increased the reward price three times at one time, which now far exceeded the value of the spiritual object itself.

All the cultivators in Tianyin Leishan were alarmed, and even those seventh-level elders who had been in high positions for a long time were moved.

They went out one after another to collect elixirs for Wei Zhong.

Outside the Internal Affairs Pavilion, Wei Zhong looked at the situation in the sect and sighed:
"Money really makes the world go round. Even these immortals who have practiced for thousands or tens of thousands of years are no exception."

"Fellow Daoist, the spiritual medicine you offered as a reward last time has yielded results..."

Wei Zhong delivered the spirit stones with satisfaction and got the spiritual medicine he wanted from the Internal Affairs Pavilion.

These are other spiritual objects that Wei Zhong collected, and they were collected under his real name.

While preparing the "Nine Purities Brewing Spirit Pill", Wei Zhong also threw out a large number of spirit stones that he had hidden in order to accumulate the essence of the spiritual medicine.

It will facilitate your future practice.

Finally, after more than two hundred years, the raw materials for the "Jiuqing Elixir" were collected.

Wei Zhong stepped into the demon world and started to make elixirs.

With the help of the mastery of the seventh-level alchemy technique, Wei Zhong was able to refine the elixir smoothly. After just a few months, an eight-patterned elixir appeared in Wei Zhong's hands.

Watch the calamity clouds dissipating in the sky and the golden thunder bamboo talisman formation below after absorbing the heavenly thunder.

Wei Zhong nodded happily:

"This thunder plant that wards off disasters is indeed effective against the Dan level as well."

After receiving the elixir, Wei Zhong returned to the spirit world and cleaned up the cave.

Taking a final look at the semi-immortal weapon standing under the thunder, Wei Zhong said "what a pity" and turned away.

After travelling northward for a few months, they finally arrived at the crack that separated Tianyin Leishan Mountain from the northern demon tribe.

Looking at the dense space cracks below, Wei Zhong couldn't help but feel a sense of panic.

"The power of the immortal is so terrifying, I should be prepared to deal with it."

Flying down, Wei Zhong raised his hand and a smaller version of Liekong appeared beside him.

His body was compressed to the extreme, almost as thick as Wei Zhong's arm and half as long as his arm.

He stared at the broken void below with a dazed look on his face.

Wei Zhong transmitted a few messages, and the latter immediately understood and plunged into it.

It was a long time before he returned, taking Wei Zhong through the space cracks, twists and turns, and finally arrived at a certain area.

This is a cave mixed with mud, rocks and metal, located at the lower level of the crack, surrounded by dense space cracks.

However, when these space cracks were free, they did not approach the area where Wei Zhong was.

Looking at the exposed metal tool above his head with curiosity, Wei Zhong moved the mud layer with his index finger and glimpsed the damaged spiritual patterns on the metal.

"Isn't this a fragment of a fairy weapon?"

Wei Zhong looked surprised and suspicious.

Neither Tianyin Leishan nor the Northern Territory Demon Clan gave a detailed enough description of the creation of this rift, and they could only glimpse words such as "a great battle between immortals".

However, there is no description of the battle situation, who won, whether anyone from the upper realm died here, etc.

Wei Zhong looked at the metal fragments in front of him, his face blank, and he sighed for a while:
"There is no time to change positions. Even if there is something fishy going on here, we must advance immediately."

Wei Zhong could sense that a small heavenly tribulation was about to condense above his head. If he did not take advantage of this moment to break through to the Dao, all of Wei Zhong's previous arrangements would be in vain.

Sitting cross-legged on the spot, Wei Zhong scattered large pieces of top-grade spirit stones on the ground and drew a spirit gathering array between the spirit stones.

There is no spiritual vein here and there is no spiritual energy supply. Wei Zhong has to rely on his own spiritual stone reserves to break through.

After laying a thick carpet with top-grade spirit stones, Wei Zhong was satisfied with his work.

"'Nine Purities Brewing Spirit Pill' is originally a spiritual pill rich in spiritual energy, and these spiritual stones alone should be enough. If that doesn't work, there are still a few drops of Immortal Jade Dew. If that's not enough, you can also eat the Sky Burning Spirit Pill in reserve."

Wei Zhong made a lot of preparations for today.

With a wave of his sleeves, the talisman array formed by golden thunder bamboo also fell to the side.

Wei Zhong put on the Cantianxulei Armor and sat cross-legged on the top-grade spirit stone to adjust his state.

After three days, Wei Zhong felt full of energy and vitality, so he opened the pill bottle and took the Nine Clear Spirit Pill...

In Tianyin Leishan, a super-large spirit boat spanned the sky, and many cultivators escaped on it.

Among them there are many seventh-level body cultivators or hedao cultivators.

"Brother Qiu, why do you, a mere mortal, have to interfere in the Young Sect Master's position this time?"

The other party was one of the candidates vying for the position of young sect leader this time, but this person did not break through the seventh level of body refining. Instead, he followed the path of spiritual magic, cultivated thunder seeds, and pushed his spiritual cultivation to the level of harmony.

Although such a difficult path has been recognized by the sect's top leaders, he is still not convinced by his peers.

"Brother Jie, don't you agree?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on the middle-aged Taoist priest in the crowd.

The latter had a calm expression and was not moved at all by the quarrel. When he heard others asking, he simply said:
"Just follow the sect's arrangements. Where do all these ideas come from?"

He kept his words to himself and did not join in the argument.

Such a bland attitude makes people feel hostile.

When they were still discussing, a horn sounded:

"Woo~woo~"

"Get on board and head to the place of trial, the Great Northern Ditch."

Everyone then boarded the boat and found their own spirit cabins.

Pushed by the spiritual light's tail flame, the huge spirit boat instantly transformed into a stream of light and headed north.

Inside the sect, seeing Ling Zhou leaving, one person couldn't help but say:

"Master, why did the trial suddenly change its location? That huge ditch is not a place for these guys who have just advanced to the next level to stay."

The bald monk who was standing above the lightning array in the center of the hall yawned and spat out a ball of silver lightning:
"The higher realm instructed us to retrieve the immortal weapon's spirit body from the giant ditch. This trial is just a coincidence."
