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

Chapter 444: Processing, New Hedao
Seeing Wei Zhong's firm attitude, Guan Hong could not refute anything.

However, the several Hedao people behind him had ugly expressions.

Before Wei Zhong arrived, everyone worked together to persuade Guan Hong to buy them some time.

At least wait until this round is over to be fair.

However, Wei Zhong's arrival and ruthless actions disrupted this plan.

With the order from the Taoist master of Jiuzhou in front and Wei Zhong’s attitude, Guan Hong couldn’t refute anything.

He took Wei Zhong and rushed to the rear.

After crossing numerous formations and restrictions, they arrived at the No. 4 Soul Transporting Tower.

Its shape is not much different from that of an ordinary psychic tower, except that the spiritual patterns on the outside are mysterious, slightly revealing a hint of something extraordinary.

The arrival of Wei Zhong and others immediately attracted the attention of many people near the Yunling Tower.

Among them are personnel responsible for the daily maintenance of the Soul Transport Tower, as well as various forces waiting for their turn here.

Seeing Guan Hong and his men coming, everyone stepped forward and saluted:
"Meet General Guan!"

The latter nodded and made way for Wei Zhong to be seen by everyone:
"Let me introduce you. This is Elder Wei who was transferred from Jiuzhou. He is the deputy general of our army..."

This introduction aroused the curiosity of everyone present.

They all stretched their necks to look at the Hedao elder who had come from afar.

Everyone had known Wei Zhong's name for a long time and thought he was an extraordinary person, but unexpectedly, everyone saw that he was just an ordinary cultivator.

Wei Zhong's attitude was quite warm. He cupped his hands and said:
"I've met all fellow Taoists!"

"Meet Elder Wei!"

Wei Zhong smiled and turned his head to look at Guan Hong:

"Did Fellow Daoist Guan let something slip? I came here to command the two Soul Transporting Towers."

As soon as these words were spoken, the monks present were in an uproar and began to talk about it.

Guan Hong also sighed and explained the situation to Wei Zhong:

“Fellow Daoist Wei, you may not know that this No. 4 Soul Transporting Tower has long been divided up by all the major troops on the front line.

"It is used in turns according to a certain sequence. This round is just halfway through. If we interrupt it rashly, it may cause dissatisfaction among the crowd."

"Is there such a thing?"

Looking at the excited practitioners, Wei Zhong frowned.

He did not state again that he wanted to take back the Soul Transport Tower. Instead, under the leadership of Guan Hong, he took away the usage log of the Soul Transport Tower.

Looking at the densely packed list in the jade slip, Wei Zhong frowned even deeper.

There are a large number of repeated names on the list, which shows that the Soul Transporting Tower has been used many times during these thousands of years, and each time the duration was quite long, ranging from several years to dozens or nearly a hundred years.

"General Guan, if I remember correctly, this Soul Transporting Pagoda is used to assist cultivators in breaking through realms, not for daily practice."

There are too many people in Jiuzhou, even if the Soul Transport Tower is large enough to support multiple people.

However, seats are limited, and in order to maximize resource allocation, this arrangement has to be made.

The reason why Wei Zhong was able to practice with the help of the Spirit Tower was all because of his identity as a developer.

Guan Hong nodded:

"That's true, but..."

Guan Hong told Wei Zhong the story of the past, and only then did he realize that there was a big secret behind the No. 4 Soul Transport Tower.

It turns out that the reason why this tower could be placed on the western front was that the major forces on the western front used their own energy to influence the interior of Kyushu.

With the joint efforts of so many parties, a holy place for cultivation has been created here.

Since such great privileges had been secured for the soldiers on the Western Front, they naturally had to be compensated to some extent.

Therefore, these people were given some privileges in the allocation of the Soul Transporting Tower.

Allows you to use the tower for longer periods of time, rather than just occupying it during a breakthrough.

"In fact, over the past thousand years, this policy has helped us gain at least two more Hedao masters on the Western Front, and even a lot of Lianxu masters..."

Wei Zhong shook his head slightly and waved his sleeves. The information in the jade slip turned into a light curtain and fell in front of the two of them.

Wei Zhong pointed at one of the monks named Zhou Yulong:

"What about this one?"

During the thousand years since the No. 4 Spirit Transport Tower entered the west line, the other party has stayed in the tower for at least five hundred years, occupying a full 50% of the seats.

As for the progress in his cultivation, except for the breakthrough from the early stage to the middle stage of refining emptiness when he first entered the tower, there was no further improvement in his cultivation afterwards. He was just coming to this tower for daily cultivation.

Wei Zhong couldn't help but sneer:
"This kind of mediocre talent, occupying a position for a long time without any breakthrough, is such a waste of resources."

Guan Hong's expression didn't change much. He just sighed quietly, knowing that he couldn't stop Wei Zhong.

“I hope that Fellow Daoist Wei will act more gently, the western front is not like the interior of Kyushu.

"If the external war squeezes people and causes them to rebel, it may disrupt the battle line."

Wei Zhong nodded slowly:

"Brother Guan, don't worry."

For several months thereafter, inside the No. 4 Soul Transporting Tower, many cultivators walked out of their training rooms with puzzled expressions on their faces.

Looking at his colleagues who were as puzzled as he was, he could not help but say:
"Why did Brother Liu come out?"

The latter scratched his head:

"The Nine Spirit Bell in the training room has rung, but my training time has not yet ended. This is really strange."

"So Brother Liu is like this too? It must be some kid who accidentally rang the spiritual bell control. Let's go together and find an explanation."

Two people gathered into three, then four, and a group of monks in robes came to the Deacon's Hall on the first floor of the Soul Transporting Tower, only to find that many monks like them had already gathered there.

Only through mutual communication can we realize that all practitioners have the same experience.

When I wanted to question the butler behind the stage, he patted the table and pointed to a notice on the wall behind:
"Deputy General Wei has ordered that the seats in the Soul Transport Tower be redistributed on a chosen day..."

After reading the entire notice, everyone realized that they were "kicked out" of the training room on purpose by someone else.

"That's not fair. The time I've been waiting for to practice hasn't even run out yet!"

"Yes, it's unfair..."

The crowd was excited, so the deacon simply patted the table, groaned, and radiated pressure, causing all the cultivators to take a step back.

His cultivation is very high and he has already reached perfection in the realm of refining emptiness. His cultivation is much higher than those present here.

"If you are dissatisfied, you can complain to your ancestors. If you are brave enough, you can even report to General Guan. Maybe someone will stand up for you..."

Inside the Deacon Hall, the two people captured all of this with their spiritual senses. One woman couldn't help but say worriedly:
"Brother Wei's actions will probably cause dissatisfaction among most cultivators."

Wei Zhong put down the teacup in his hand:

"most?
“What is a majority?
“The war on the western front is not supported by just a few high-level monks.

"The majority include middle and low-level monks."

He threw the diary on the tea table:

"Fairy An, why don't you take a look at how many seats in the Soul Transport Tower can be taken by middle-level or even lower-level soldiers?

"The Millennium Spiritual Tower must have been used for at least nine hundred years to refine the Void and combine the Dao, and these are all the so-called direct descendants of each sect...

"This has never happened to the No. 1 Spirit Transport Tower under my command."

An Yuxuan picked up the jade slip and became more and more frightened the more she read it. She knew that it was difficult for low-level cultivators to enter the Soul Transporting Tower, but as someone who didn't care about worldly affairs, she had no idea it would be this difficult.

"Brother Wei is right, but isn't it a bit too rash to interrupt others' practice like this?"

He cast his eyes towards the excited group of cultivators outside the hall, and a trace of worry appeared on his face.

Wei Zhong smiled with his lips pinched:
“The Soul Transport Tower is only used for cultivators to break through. These people use it as a force for their cultivation, but they have not been able to break through for a long time. They are simply mediocre. How can such people be worthy of occupying a seat in the Soul Transport Tower for such a long time.” Wei Zhong stood up, and his Hedao spiritual consciousness extended out, appearing outside the Deacon's Hall with a powerful aura of pressure.

The spiritual consciousness of the middle stage of Hedao immediately suppressed all the people who were chattering.

Sweat dripped from the monks' foreheads, and their eyes were filled with fear.

The entrance of the Deacon Hall, which had been noisy just now, immediately became quiet.

"This is the general's order. Do you intend to disobey it?"

In the war on the front line, the crime of disobeying orders is severe.

It might be a serious crime punishable by death, who would dare to step forward?
Someone immediately leaned over:

"We dare not disobey the general's order. We will retreat now. We will retreat now."

After saying this, the pressure on him suddenly lightened, and he hurriedly walked out of the Soul Transporting Tower.

Seeing this, others followed suit and left.

Even when he walked out of the Soul Transporting Tower, he didn't dare to complain.

Who knows if the Hedao monk in secret has had time to probe his spiritual sense out of the tower.

They then scattered and returned to the tribe to inquire about the situation.

However, the intelligence they received was extremely consistent, and they were even reminded by their superiors to be more obedient and not cause trouble.

Inside the Soul Transporting Tower, Wei Zhong withdrew his spiritual sense and looked at the ten spots of light that were still lit on the wall not far away.

This represents the training room that is still in use.

Different from those who treated this place as a place for cultivation, these ten people had truly made a breakthrough in their cultivation realm.

"The mediocre ones are gone, but the geniuses are still here. I think those guys will dare to say anything more after these people leave."

A few days later, Huai Yuke walked out of the training room and looked at the Soul Transporting Tower, which was much quieter than before, with a puzzled look on his face.

Only when you reach the Deacon's Hall on the first floor can you exchange your own tokens.

"Deacon Wu, we have almost finished our time this time. The remaining time will be used next time."

The latter took the token, but did not move immediately. Instead, he looked at the full divine light on the former's face and uttered:
"You have made a breakthrough. You are really lucky."

Huai Yuke cupped his hands and smiled:

"Luck, luck..."

Deacon Wu nodded:
"That's right. Once we enter the realm of refining emptiness, you and I can call each other fellows. There's no need to be so polite."

The two men talked for a while, and the deacon named Wu wiped the token, and the remaining day or so on it was completely reset to zero.

Huai Yuke looked puzzled, and then heard Deacon Wu's words:
"There's no time to waste. A big shot has come up from above. He will be in charge of the Soul Transport Tower from now on..."

After hearing this explanation, Huai Yuke was surprised and asked:

"Those big families..."

"They were blasted out a long time ago. No, there are still two little guys left in the Spirit Tower. I guess they are on the verge of a breakthrough like you."

After the two talked for a few words, Huai Yuke finally understood the current situation.

He bowed and said goodbye, and as soon as he stepped out of the Soul Transporting Tower, a group of people surrounded him.

Seeing that there were both his superiors and some members of big families among them, Huai Yuke was a little panicked for a moment.

However, when I think about the fact that I have already broken through to the realm of refining emptiness, I feel more confident.

With a positive look, he answered everyone's questions.

When these cultivators learned that Huai Yu Ke was able to stay in the tower until now because he was on the verge of a breakthrough in his cultivation, they immediately understood.

After a few hours, another person walked out of the Soul Transporting Tower.

The same is true after asking.

What’s surprising is that although he finished his practice time early, the Nine Spirit Bell in the room did not ring.

Instead, he waits for the latter's cultivation to completely break through before awakening him naturally.

Including when leaving the tower, he was not asked to make up for the extra training time.

Wei Zhong's handling of the matter made everyone who came to inquire about the news sigh.

At the frontline Lingshan, Guan Hong smiled when he learned the information:
"Daoyou Wei is indeed worthy of being sent by the Dao Master himself. He really knows his limits."

An Jingchen in the audience also smiled:
“I thought that Brother Wei’s actions would cause dissatisfaction among the Hedao, but this time the way it was handled was clever, and I’m sure those old guys won’t be able to say anything.

“Also, General Guan’s eldest disciple, Qin Boxi, seems to still be staying in the Soul Transporting Pagoda, right?

"After such a long time without leaving the tower, he must be on the verge of a breakthrough."

Guan Hong smiled and nodded:

"That's right. It's all thanks to Fellow Daoist Wei's arrangement. I only gave Bo Xi three months, and now four months have passed...

"If we really miss this opportunity to enter the Hedao due to time constraints, it will be a great regret for our Western Army."

Inside the Soul Transporting Tower, Wei Zhong watched the cultivators coming out one by one, with a smile on his face growing wider.

Naturally, he was aware of changes in the external situation, and this clever move won him a lot of praise.

Whether within those high-level factions or in the local army, the newly arrived Deputy General Wei seemed to have become synonymous with fairness.

"It's almost time!"

Wei Zhong moved his eyes and focused his sight on the light spot on the wall. Now only a green light remained.

This is exactly the training room represented by Guan Hong’s disciple, Qin Boxi.

As expected, as Wei Zhong muttered, a dull pressure gathered inside and outside the Soul Transport Tower.

A figure walked out of the training room and flew straight into the air along the skylight in the tower.

The calamity clouds from the outside world gathered together, and lightning snakes gathered. It was the heavenly calamity that would break through the Dao and condense here.

This sign of a natural calamity attracted the attention of many cultivators. They all felt the terrifying pressure and had different complex expressions on their faces.

Envy, jealousy, emotion...

All these complex emotions represent that there will be one more human being on the Western Front.

Lightning flashed nine times, and a charred figure fell powerlessly from the sky and was caught by Guan Hong's spell.

It was Qin Boyi himself.

However, compared to Wei Zhong's ease in dealing with the heavenly thunder calamity, the latter escaped death and almost perished completely.

Although he is still alive, he has been seriously injured. If he wants to fully exert his strength, he will need a lot of time to recuperate.

Just when Guan Hong was about to take him back to heal his injuries.

A red light flew over from the sky and landed in front of the two of them.

Wei Zhong's voice was synchronized:

“Congratulations to Brother Qin for breaking through to the Hedao realm, and congratulations to General Guan for having a new Hedao master disciple.

"This is just a small dragon blood pill to help Brother Qin heal his injuries. It's not a big deal."

The sound fell into the ears of the two and also resounded through the sky.

Everyone seemed to remember at this time that Deputy General Wei, who came from the Twin Star Tower, was also a seventh-rank alchemist.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Wei!"

Guan Hong helped his disciple take the pill. As the dragon blood pill entered his stomach, the charred skin on Qin Boxi's body peeled off at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The red and white body regenerated, and the black hair grew back...
