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

Chapter 423: The Tribulation of the Dao, Strange Memories

In the huge ditch in the northern border, as Wei Zhong swallowed the Jiuqing Brewing Spirit Pill, the whole breakthrough process began.

As the elixir entered his body, a layer of hazy light appeared everywhere on Wei Zhong's body.

The body, the soul, and even the magic power circulating in the body were tainted with color.

The spirit gathering array engraved on the ground was activated at the same time, and many top-grade spirit stones shattered instantly, and all the spiritual energy in them was absorbed by Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong absorbed and refined the trajectory of the martial arts running in his body and converted it into his own magic power.

The absorption of spiritual energy is a long process, and Wei Zhong was immersed in it for no apparent amount of time.

When the giant ship from Tianyin Lingshan landed here, Wei Zhong still knew nothing about it.

These sect monks looked at the space cracks inside the giant trench with horror in their hearts:
"Elder Xue, is this where we are going to conduct the trial?"

The man grabbed a handful of his white beard and nodded slowly.

With a flick of his sleeves, several pieces of debris fell into the hands of everyone.

“This trial is quite simple. All you have to do is to wave your hand from the deep ditch here to the remains of the immortal weapon in the upper world.

“Those who collect more can gain an advantage in subsequent trials.

"This thing will resonate with the immortal weapon and help you determine the direction..."

After taking the fragment, he saw the spiritual patterns on it moving, as if he had sensed something.

Following the direction indicated by the fragments, everyone looked at the space crack below the deep ditch, and a chill came over their hearts.

"This is not easy at all. It is extremely difficult."

After explaining everything, Elder Xue waved his hand:
"Okay, let's go!"

After hearing the words from their elders, they could only bite the bullet and use their own methods to throw themselves into the space crack.

When Liekong, who was protecting Wei Zhong, saw this scene, he showed a bit of impatience on his face.

After passing through numerous space cracks, they arrived at where Wei Zhong was, but found that Wei Zhong was immersed in the state of breakthrough and could not be disturbed.

With a sigh, he protected himself outside the cave here.

"Why is the spiritual energy here a bit agitated?"

Although Wei Zhong basically absorbed the spiritual energy from the spirit stones, when he was promoted, he was still uncontrollably and attracted the free spiritual energy in the surrounding space.

This resulted in the spiritual energy flowing downwards within the huge ditch.

Although the disciples of Tianyin Leishan were very curious about this phenomenon, they still stopped when they saw the density of space cracks increasing sharply below.

Choose to look for the so-called remains of the immortal weapon on the surface of the crack.

After so many searches, the scattered fragments were collected by everyone.

Holding these fragments of immortal weapons that could no longer be recognized as they were originally, everyone really didn't understand what the use of them was after they were broken into pieces like this.

The spiritual patterns on the surface of the remains were broken, and the fragments underneath were corroded by an unknown force, causing the inner layer to decay and become unusable.

"If we collect this kind of stuff, can we put it into the furnace and recast it?"

Xie Yuanping shook his head and put it into the storage ring.

Looking at the space cracks around him, he walked cautiously.

"There are only some scattered fragments on the surface. If you want to find the larger pieces, you have to go deeper."

The further down they went, the stronger the sensation of the fragments in their hands became, which was clearly urging everyone to take the risk.

Qiu Zhiyun looked at the abyss below and recalled that he had fallen behind in the competition.

He gritted his teeth, and green lightning flashed on his body, carrying his body as he broke into the middle layer of the deep trench.

With the first one, there will be the second one.

These newly promoted seventh-level cultivators competing for the position of young sect leader risked their lives and plunged into the middle layer of the deep ditch that had suddenly grown in the secret area of ​​the space rift.

On the spirit boat above, Elder Xue looked at the compass in his hand. The stars on it showed the real-time positions of the disciples.

"Not bad, I've reached the middle level so quickly."

Turning back to look at the monk behind him:

“Get ready. These disciples can only get so far. We still have to salvage the remains on the bottom floor.

“This is the order of the headmaster and cannot be disobeyed.

"Be prepared to descend the spirit boat and rush in at any time..."

"Yes!"

Inside the cave at the bottom of the ditch, the spiritual energy from the top-grade spirit stone was not enough for Wei Zhong to absorb.

Wei Zhong waved his sleeves and sprinkled out a handful of it, then took out the prepared fairy jade dew and swallowed it.

Even so, it was still not enough, so Wei Zhong took two more Tianfenlingzhen pills.

The elixir that Wei Zhong had spent a lot of effort to absorb and refine was now ground into ashes in a few strokes under the mobilization of Wei Zhong's skills. The abundant spiritual energy in it was all transformed into food for Wei Zhong's promotion.

With such an abundant supply of spiritual energy, Wei Zhong finally felt a sense of fullness in his body.

Realizing that the amount of spiritual energy was sufficient, Wei Zhong looked inward and discovered that his sea of ​​​​energy had turned into a nebula.

It is colorful and full of magical power, like the uneasy clouds before a thunderstorm.

Finally, under Wei Zhong's gaze, the Qi Sea underwent the expected changes.

It was as if the extremely rich magic power collapsed in the constant agitation.

In just a moment, these magical powers collapsed along a certain particle in the sea of ​​​​qi and were concentrated to the extreme.

Looking at the only floating object in the sea of ​​qi, a buzzing sound suddenly rang in Wei Zhong's ears.

It spread throughout Wei Zhong's body and resounded throughout his sea of ​​consciousness like boiling hot oil.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Zhong's sea of ​​consciousness trembled, and his entire consciousness seemed to be thrown high into the air, falling into chaos.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, Wei Zhong's soul was floating, and the corpse made of thunder and lava was rolling continuously.

The space of the sea of ​​consciousness expanded again during this promotion.

At the same time, the magic power within the qi sea also returned, like a trickle, returning to Wei Zhong's meridians.

"Boom!"

The trembling sound coming from deep within the giant ditch made everyone in Tianyin Leishan very frightened.

"what happened?"

These people don’t know that this is just the aftermath of the spiritual energy caused by Wei Zhong’s breakthrough.

Deep in the ravine, a large amount of rocks overturned and were ruthlessly shattered by the cracks in space.

Only the cave where Wei Zhong was located was able to remain intact because of the protection of large pieces of immortal weapon fragments.

Liekong was guarding outside the cave, trying to prevent the outside world from entering through cracks in the space and disturbing Wei Zhong.

Turning back, I saw that Wei Zhong's aura had risen and solidified, completely frozen in the state of fusion.

"Next, there will be a disaster..."

Wei Zhongyuan said this quietly, then stopped talking and fell into a deep sleep.

Wei Zhong woke up again in a daze.

He was already in a hut, and stretched out his hands, which were white in skin and belonged to the young man.

Pushing the door open, Wei Zhong saw a large field outside, with rice filling his vision.

"Wei Zhong, today is the time to harvest the spiritual rice. Once you have harvested enough of it, you can enter the Immortal Sect and become a servant..."

Wei Zhong looked at the thin body, took the special sickle from someone else, and went down to the ground...

After three months, Wei Zhong was successfully accepted into the local immortal sect.

Although he had entered the sect, he was actually just a servant, toiling all day and only having a little time to practice immortal arts. However, young Wei Zhong was very satisfied with this.

After several years, Wei Zhong's cultivation gradually improved. He entered the outer sect, crossed the inner sect, entered the true sect, survived the foundation-building calamity, and became a sect elder...

After that, he experienced many turmoils and his cultivation became more and more profound. Looking back, he had become a spirit-transforming person. All the former Jindan and Yuanying were trampled under his feet.

Crossing the realm and ascending, he accidentally got a wonderful method, practiced it, and fell in a heavenly calamity when he broke through the realm...

When he woke up again, he was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with two children and a happy life.

However, one day a disaster occurred and the fight between the immortals affected innocent people, leaving only him alive.

He killed the seriously injured Qi-refining cultivator with hatred, and since then he has embarked on the path of immortality...

……

All these experiences played out in Wei Zhong's memory like a movie.

Wei Zhong felt both familiar and strange.

As his consciousness sank, a completely new scene appeared before Wei Zhong.

Among them, Wei Zhong's practice was full of ups and downs, but his cultivation became more and more profound with such training, and now he is invincible in the world.

In the Nine Realms and Three States, in the Immortal Realm, Wei Zhong defeated many fellow Taoists and won the position of Taoist Master.

It is the most respected one in heaven and on earth.

But times have changed, and sitting in such a high position, Wei Zhong eventually suffered backlash.

The long river of laws was cut off by an unknown person, and only one tenth of Wei Zhong's strength remained.

The body was overwhelmed by the attack and the soul was torn apart.

Endless pain made Wei Zhong wail.

Covering his forehead, Wei Zhong had returned to the cave at the bottom of the ditch, surrounded by powder left by the broken spirit stones.

Wei Zhong held his head with both hands, his eyes were bloodshot, as if he was in endless pain.

The experience in his mind gradually faded away, Wei Zhong's pain eased, and he felt confused:
"what is this?"

Supporting his forehead with one hand, Wei Zhong recalled every detail of it, but the scene in the inner demon calamity was getting farther and farther away from Wei Zhong.

Even with Wei Zhong's spiritual power at Hedao level, he couldn't remember it.

It dissipated like bubbles, and Wei Zhong's heart was filled with disappointment and fear.

Wei Zhong felt strange emotions, sadness, unwillingness...

"Boom!"

Layers of black clouds gathered above the huge ditch, and the cultivators on the spirit boat were shocked when they saw this.

“Thunder cloud, no, this is a calamity!
"Who would come to a place like this to survive?

"Quickly call back the disciples below, and wait until the calamity clouds dissipate before continuing the trial."

"Yes! Elder...

"Not good, those people went too deep, and we were able to contact less than half of the disciples."

"This……"

Elder Xue looked up and saw that the calamity clouds in the sky had already condensed and lightning was rolling in them. The divine power emanating from them was enough to make this Elder who had achieved perfect harmony with the Dao tremble in his heart.

With a determined mind, he came to the rudder of the spirit boat.

The magical power of Hedao spread and penetrated into the rudder. The entire giant spirit boat retracted, and a bright silver light shone on the surface, like a swimming fish, leaping into a deep ditch crack.

The space crack cut through and silver light fell on the surface of the spirit boat, but it was like a jumping electric arc, which flashed by and disappeared without a sound.

This spiritual boat actually has the ability to travel through the void.

As the spirit boat gradually went deeper, the connection with the disciples of Tianyin Leishan became clearer.

Everyone received the message to turn back immediately.

At the same time, the restless spiritual energy in the deep ditch urged everyone to leave immediately.

Everyone turned back, but unexpectedly at this moment, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and smashed directly into the deep ditch, tearing apart pieces of space cracks and directly tracking down Wei Zhong who was entrenched in the cave.

His expression gradually came out of his confusion. He looked up and saw the arcs of electricity dancing around him, and then he murmured:
"So the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation has already begun?"

He stood up, all the confusion on his face disappeared:
"I will only know the details after I reach a higher level of cultivation. I can't even remember these fragments of memories right now."

Looking at his open palm, Wei Zhong seemed to be able to see the tangible quicksand of memory flowing through between his five fingers.

With a sigh, Wei Zhong waved his hand, and the Cantianxu Lei Jia was activated by the thunder element.

The seventh level of body refining power was fully mobilized.

Looking at the golden thunder bamboos behind him, Wei Zhong raised his head and made a move. The bamboos immediately shrank and turned into a golden rune that fell into Wei Zhong's palm.

Step out of this cave, and the Cleft is waiting at the entrance.

Wei Zhong grabbed the spine in his hand, flapped his wings, and silver light flashed on the soles of his feet. He took Wei Zhong and cut through the space here, sinking into the chaotic void.

One man and one dragon gradually ascended.

Wei Zhong met many monks along the way. The marks engraved on their robes indicated that they were disciples of Tianyin Leishan.

"How did these people get here?"

When he was in doubt, a spirit boat kept shuttling between reality and void, like an icebreaker, breaking through the terrifying space crack.

Wei Zhong glimpsed the monk on the boat, and the other party also saw Wei Zhong's appearance.

Elder Xue sensed the newfound might of the Hedao on Wei Zhong's body, and his hands holding the rudder paused:
"Is this the person?"

He saw the dense silver lightning on Wei Zhong's body again, the power of which he was already familiar with.

Isn’t this exactly Tianyin Leishan’s “Zhou Tian Lei Gong”?
“This person’s Qing Lei does not exist. If he is not a competitor this time, then he must be another cultivator in the sect.

"But why do the sect cultivators who have broken through to the realm come here instead of staying in the sect's spiritual land?"

Wei Zhong's figure passed by and was not only seen by him, but also by other disciples of the sect who were returning.

Xie Yuanping looked at the familiar face and his heart was filled with turmoil.

After traveling through the void with his fellow disciples and returning to the spirit boat, he heard his elders asking him questions.

"Have you ever seen the person who transcends the tribulation?"

The remaining candidates all shook their heads, but a young cultivator who was only at the level of Refining Void stood up and replied:
"Your Excellency, this person looks like Wei Zhong, a cultivator who ascended from the lower realm. I personally introduced him to the sect..."

His face looked a little old, but one could still glimpse his youthful appearance. He was 80% similar to the monk who had welcomed Wei Zhong into the sect.

“Wei Zhong, this name is unfamiliar.

"He has already reached the seventh level of body refining, and his cultivation is about to reach the state of integration. How come I have never heard of such a person in the sect?"

"I don't know. This person is quite low-key. I only saw him a thousand years ago...

"More than a thousand years..."

Thinking of this, he realized that Wei Zhong had reached the seventh level of body refining in such a short period of time. This speed was far faster than those geniuses present.

Xie Yuanping was shocked and did not say that he was familiar with the man.

Because he knows that anyone who hides his strength and conceals his identity will be in big trouble.

As expected, the spirit boat jumped out from the void in the deep ditch, and Wei Zhong’s heavenly thunder tribulation was coming to an end.

The monk in the air had dazzling lightning on his body. As the ninth heavenly thunder struck, his figure staggered and the lightning dimmed.

"He Dao, it's done!"

"But why hasn't this calamity cloud dissipated yet?"

Feeling the growing divine power, the cultivator named Xue hurriedly urged the spirit boat to move away.
