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

Chapter 428 Sacrifice
"Thanks to the mineral veins in the Shagang Demon Realm, Jiuzhou has been able to develop to this day," Ding Tianyou talked freely during the journey.

In the past, in Kyushu, because of limited resources, people would break a spirit stone into two halves before using it.

The heavy armor can only be refined on a small scale and used to protect the geniuses in the clan.

It’s nothing like now, where we use a large amount of heavy armor to form a monastic army, and even sell it to the public to make money.

It is precisely because of the abundant resources in the Shagang Demon Realm that such changes have taken place in the entire Jiuzhou.

Wei Zhong saw the shuttle leading the way and was the first to arrive at the mine.

A large number of troops were deployed, and they were ready to attack before the large spirit boat arrived.

The heavily armored soldiers of Jiuzhou charged in the front, followed by the civilian forces of Jiuzhou, which were the independent cultivators.

Just as Wei Zhong and others were about to move, a bird's cry made the three of them alert.

"Seventh-level demon dragon?"

Looking far away, I saw a big bird flying in the distant sea of ​​clouds.

"This seems to be the Cangyu Dragon that is a hundred miles away. How did it get here?"

An Yuxuan looked puzzled, as if the appearance of the demon dragon in front of her had disrupted everyone's plans.

"Why don't you give this dragon to Fairy An? And hand over the mine to me and Fellow Daoist Jie?" Ding Tianyou said at the right time.

The three of them looked at each other and all agreed to this arrangement.

Riding the lightning, Wei Zhong and Ding Tianyou fell into the mine together.

When you first enter the mine, it is just a small entrance that can only accommodate a few people. After going a few miles deep, it expands into a huge cave that is three or four meters high and wide.

Looking at the gold and iron ores exposed outside, Wei Zhong looked surprised.

But Ding Tianyou seems to be used to it:
“The terrain of this Shagang Demon Realm is peculiar, and there are quite a few exposed mineral veins like this.

"But they are all low-level spiritual materials. The real treasures are still hidden inside."

After saying that, the other party raised his hand and dug, and Wei Zhong immediately saw the golden Qiegang rock below.

Its golden color is mixed with gray stones in this mine.

Soldiers immediately gathered around and started mining along the gap opened by Ding Tianyou.

"Let's keep going. Someone will take care of these outer mineral veins."

As a Hedao cultivator, it is naturally impossible for him to waste his energy on such ordinary ores.

The two of them went deeper and deeper, and saw the figures of Kyushu soldiers along the way.

Until they reached a fork in the road, the sounds of fighting and shouting continued. It turned out that the mining team had approached the first group of mole dragons.

Ding Tianyou looked at it for a few seconds and murmured:
"They can handle it, and the two of us will continue on."

Wei Zhong swept his spiritual sense and found that they were all fourth or fifth level demon dragons, which did not pose much threat.

As Wei Zhong walked, he looked at the ores on both sides. An idea suddenly occurred to him. He waved his sleeves, and a group of golden insects flew out from his sleeves.

It was the golden-scaled insect that Wei Zhong seized from He Dao.

Now, after being raised by Wei Zhong, the number of this insect has expanded to one hundred.

Moreover, each of their carapaces was shining with golden light and they were in extremely good condition.

With a wave of his hand, hundreds of evil insects fell into the mine.

With just two or three bites, they ate away the surface layer of gold and iron, leaving a small hole.

Seeing Wei Zhong's skill of expelling insects, a strange look flashed across Ding Tianyou's face:
"I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Jie is also proficient in the art of expelling insects."

"It's just a trifle, not worth mentioning.

"These monster insects of mine feed on gold and iron. I wonder if there is any mineral vein here that can be used to feed these insects?"

Ding Tianyou nodded naturally:
"Of course you can. Not only that, if we encounter some good things inside the mine, you and I can take some of them ourselves. This is one of the benefits of being a Hedao monk."

Wei Zhong did not expect that Jiuzhou's policy was so humane. After releasing the golden-scaled insect, Wei Zhong controlled it to follow him and hunt along the way.

After eating a short amount of the Qiegang rock, the golden scale insect got tired of it and followed Wei Zhong on both sides, looking for new types of minerals.

Suddenly, the two heard a low roar coming from the mine ahead, and a huge mole dragon walked out of the shadows.

Its body is tall, three or four times taller than that of a fifth-level demon dragon.

Wei Zhong sensed the other party's aura, which was at the late sixth level, and seemed not far from the seventh level.

"Level 6, good material. Fellow Daoist Jie, please be careful and don't kill him all at once."

In the Shagang Demon Realm, besides the rich mineral veins, another resource is the various monsters that contain dragon blood.

Its body is the raw material for refining various magical instruments, and is also one of the main materials for making the Psychic Tower.

Demon pills can even be used as medicine or to refine rare elixirs.

Every part of the body will be clearly allocated by Jiuzhou's extremely mature assembly line.

The value of this sixth-level demon dragon in front of him alone is enough to equal a small low-level mineral vein.

As soon as Ding Tianyou finished speaking, he flew out.

Wei Zhong saw a ball of golden energy being generated from his body. His already strong figure grew even larger. He was like a small mountain, several times bigger than the demon dragon.

Raise your hand and grab it.

The demon dragon roared, its hair stood up, and the scales underneath combined with each other, instantly forming a hideous beast armor on its body surface.

Demonic energy is surging on it, exuding an oily texture.

Seeing this scene, Ding Tianyou did not slow down at all.

The golden energy wrapped around his palm and grabbed the dragon's neck with lightning speed.

It should have been caught in the palm of his hand immediately, but when the layers of armor swept across like water waves, the dragon seemed to have become a slippery loach that was easy to get out of his hands.

He avoided Ding Tianyou's grasp for a moment.

"It's just as Fairy An said. This demon dragon is very slippery."

Seeing that it was about to retreat back into the depths of the cave again, Wei Zhong raised his hand and threw a whip shadow.

It turned in the air and tied up the evil dragon.

No matter how the latter's armor slid, it could not escape from the Yantian Whip at all.

After advancing to Hedao, Wei Zhong’s improvement is not only in his cultivation, but he can also greatly increase the power of various seventh-tier magic weapons.

Just like the Yantian Whip in Wei Zhong's hand, it was a treasure seized from the demon Mitian.

It has spatial attributes and can exist as a spatial channel between the small thousand worlds.

It is no problem to imprison a mere sixth-level demon dragon with this.

"Good baby!"

Wei Zhong pulled casually, and the Yantian Whip suddenly shortened, pulling the struggling dragon in front of Wei Zhong and the others, leaving a deep gully on the ground.

Seeing the demon dragon falling in front of him, Ding Tianyou took out a strange thing similar to the one inside the chain mail from his storage bag.

Stretching out his arms to shake it open, Wei Zhong discovered that there were several terrifying needles on this hollow armor.

Ding Tianyou raised his foot to restrain the struggling body of the demon dragon and inserted needles into the dragon's body.

Limbs, chest, abdomen, neck, head...

When it covered all parts of the body, the entire set of armor was completely draped over the mole dragon.

Magic power was injected, and Ding Tianyou murmured a few inexplicable words. His fingers moved, and the runes on the chain mail lit up.

Along with the flash of spiritual light, the demon dragon let out a huge roar of unwillingness.

Then he collapsed to the ground weakly.

"Fellow Daoist Jie, you can move the magic weapon away." Wei Zhong took back the Yantian Whip with half belief and half doubt, and sure enough, he saw that the demon dragon was lying on the ground like a dead thing.

Looking at the strange armor, Wei Zhong's spiritual sense spread, passing over the surface of the mail and penetrating into the body of the demon dragon.

I saw the needles extending and piercing into various parts of the dragon's body.

It emitted a green light, as if releasing a paralyzing toxin, blocking the flow of demonic power within the dragon's body.

All of his demonic powers were cut off, unable to circulate freely and form demonic magic.

At the same time, it connected to the external armor to completely lock the dragon's body, eliminating the possibility of it struggling to move.

"What a wonderful magic weapon."

"Haha, it's just a trifle. This thing can only imprison the animal for two or three hours at most. After that, as the toxin wears off, it will have a chance to break free."

While the two were talking, the team behind them had already moved nearby.

Ding Tianyou called out, and many soldiers came forward to send out the imprisoned demon dragon. There was a more suitable place on the spirit boat to imprison these demon dragons.

Wei Zhong and the other man continued to move forward, encountering many fifth- and sixth-level demon dragons on the way.

Following the same method, the evil dragon was captured alive and sent out of the mine.

Wei Zhong was not used to this method of dealing with the evil dragon.

Normally, when a spiritual spell is cast, dragon blood will splash everywhere, and these guys will have to be cleansed of all impurities and transformed into elixirs in Wei Zhong's furnace.

It was nothing like the one in front of him where they were all captured alive. Ding Tianyou was even reluctant to kill a fifth-level demon dragon.

"I've made a ton of money, I've made a ton of money!

"It was the right decision to let Fellow Daoist Jie come along this time."

The Yantian Whip in Wei Zhong's hand is undoubtedly a sharp weapon to imprison these evil dragons. No matter how slippery the evil dragon is, it has no chance of breaking free under the shadow of Wei Zhong's whip.

As a seventh-rank body cultivator, Ding Tianyou used brutal methods and often accidentally crushed the dragon to death.

Those Void-Refining Monks who followed him also had limited means and were difficult to capture.

Its efficiency is much lower than Wei Zhong's Yantian Whip.

"Haha, this time I went out, I earned several hundred top-grade spirit stones."

Wei Zhong had plenty of spirit stones, but he wasn't very excited about this, so he asked Ding Tianyou if these merits could be exchanged for other things.

What Wei Zhong urgently needed were spiritual objects to assist in his practice, such as elixirs and medicaments, to speed up his practice.

And the method of absorbing the power of luck.

“Spiritual pills are in short supply in my Nine Provinces, but with Fellow Daoist Jie’s previous achievements, you should be able to exchange for a few high-level pills.

"As for the power of destiny, it sounds mysterious. But I heard that similar research is already underway in Jiuzhou. Fellow Daoist Jie can ask Fellow Daoist Min about it later."

"Min Laiqing?"

The other party is indeed the genius in charge of research within Jiuzhou. No matter what, we can't avoid him.

Wei Zhong had some plans in mind.

"Also, the preparation of the Seven Star Mysterious Life Pill should be put on the agenda. We are still missing a few spiritual materials..."

As they pondered, the two of them rushed into a cave that led downwards and suddenly came to an unfamiliar cave.

The size of the mine here has not changed much, but it is surrounded by azure blue fluorite.

Ding Tianyou's expression became serious:
"Fellow Daoist Jie, be careful. We should have arrived at the lair of the seventh-level demon dragon."

Wei Zhong came back to his senses:

"Strange, we have dealt with all the demon dragons to such an extent, why haven't we even seen the shadow of a seventh-level demon dragon?"

Ding Tianyou was also confused. The two looked at each other and walked carefully towards the fluorescent passage.

"Snapped!"

Wei Zhong looked at the bottom of his feet and used his toes to push away the dirt, only to see some unknown animal bones.

After searching around, I found that this place was like a bone cemetery.

Beneath the soil and rocks, there are piles of white bones.

Some of the bones are thick and seem to be the bones of this mole dragon.

Some of the bones were long and thin, as if they came from some kind of bird.

Crush a handful of bone powder, Ding Tianyou wondered:
"Pillar sacrifice?"

When Wei Zhong was confused, Ding Tianyou had already started to explain.

Among some demon dragon tribes in the Shagang Demon Realm, a special tradition called totem pole sacrifice is maintained, which is abbreviated as pillar sacrifice.

It is a large-scale sacrifice to various demon dragons and even other demon dragons.

According to various records obtained from Jiuzhou, with this method, the demon dragon leader has a chance to obtain more powerful power from the totem pole, strengthen his own bloodline and improve his cultivation.

"Is there such a shortcut?"

Recalling that all the monsters in the demon world were infiltrated by dragon blood, Wei Zhong seemed to understand it.

"Fellow Daoist, be careful. The beast might be deep in this mine."

Wei Zhong nodded.

The environment here is special, and Wei Zhong's powerful spiritual sense is severely suppressed. It can only maintain a range of several feet around him, shrinking by more than ten million times.

Wei Zhong looked around:

"Is it because of these fluorescent stones, or the special formation of the mine here?"

Wei Zhong put on a set of armor, which was filled with lightning. It was the seventh-level intermediate magic weapon, the Wuji Leidong Helmet.

The Zhoutian Thunder Power and the Five Elements Dao Building Sutra operated synchronously, and the thunder energy and magic power were mobilized in Wei Zhong's body at the same time.

After absorbing the two forces, mysterious runes appeared above the lightning on the Wuji Leidong Helmet, with lightning flashing in them. Upon closer inspection, it was found that the runes were composed of pure lightning.

Seeing Wei Zhong's state, Ding Tianyou was surprised, but he also understood that Wei Zhong was ready for battle.

The two men walked forward carefully, but after walking several hundred feet they did not hear anything unusual.

Not to mention the demon dragon, not even a ghost was seen.

There was a hint of hesitation in their eyes, but when they turned a corner, they suddenly saw the bright light inside.

A dazzling light was projected from the top of the cave, which was extremely dazzling in this dim cave.

Wei Zhong narrowed his eyes, stared ahead, and immediately saw an extremely strange scene.

A high platform sits in the middle, and scattered all around are layers of white bones.

There was only a blue-red stone pillar covered with runes standing on the stage.

If that were the case, there wouldn't be the slightest bit of horror in Wei Zhong's eyes.

Looking carefully, I saw a twisted mass of flesh under the green and red totem pole.

From the features of its body, Wei Zhong could recognize that it was a mole dragon with a deep aura, and it was its seventh-level leader.

But what was going on in this scene? Could it be that this evil dragon priest was sacrificing himself as well?
"hu~hu~"

A panting sound came from the mass of flesh; the demon dragon was actually still alive.

Wei Zhong glanced at Ding Tianyou, who also had a look of horror on his face, as if he had never expected such a scene.

Such a strange scene made the two of them stop in their tracks instantly.

God knows whether the sacrifice is over or not, and whether it will drag the two of them into it.
