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

Chapter 447 Fierce Dragon Wood

The group of five concealed their breath, crossed the mountains and gradually moved away from the main battlefield on the western front.

The Demonic Bearded Dragon is located on the west side of the Chiyang Land, which is the western side of the Shagang Demon Realm bordering it.

Wei Zhong and his four companions would hardly encounter any evil dragons from the western battlefield in the first half of the journey, so it was a fairly safe route.

Several people chatted on the way and introduced each other's methods.

This way you will have more confidence and it will be easier to deal with powerful enemies like the dragon.

'An Yuxuan, An Jingchen, Qin Boxi, and finally Zhou Chenfeng.'

Wei Zhong glanced at the few people.

Zhou Chenfeng once had some complaints about Wei Zhong, believing that Wei Zhong had encroached on the rights and interests of their big families.

However, after years of passage, this old-fashioned Hedao has finally settled down.

Do your job well to achieve success and earn a seat token in the Soul Transport Tower.

"I wonder what Daoist Brother Zhou is good at?"

The latter looked up:
“What I learned is somewhat similar to that of the Demonic Bearded Dragon.

“It’s the Twelve Forbidden Formations passed down from our ancestors, a technique for confinement.

“This formation has been integrated into my spiritual skills, and I can use it with a wave of my sleeves.

"I might be able to be of use to deal with that devilish dragon..."

After hearing the latter's description, Wei Zhong nodded slightly confusedly.

Wei Zhong didn't know much about this kind of method, so it was hard for him to judge how strong it was.

But seeing that the latter seemed very confident, he must have some strength.

However, to be on the safe side, Wei Zhong still sent a message to the An family to ask a few questions.

"Master An, Fairy An, do you know anything about this person's method?"

A flash of thought flashed across their eyes, and An Yuxuan was the first to reply:
“This person’s forbidden array technique is indeed quite sophisticated. If I were to be included in the array, my strength would be weakened by 20% to 70% depending on the number of array gates.

"Although Zhou Chenfeng is a chatterbox, what he has learned is considered to be a very powerful technique among people of the same level."

"Oh, is there a way to break the formation?"

An Jingchen replied:

"Of course there is. What Xuan'er said is true. This person's forbidden formation method is indeed powerful.

“With three gates, one can initially unleash the power of the forbidden formation. With nine gates fully developed and twelve gates perfected, the power is extraordinary.

“But all this is based on the premise that the formation is deployed.

“Fellow Daoist Wei, don’t listen to his nonsense that he can perform the deed with a wave of his sleeves. If that were true, Zhou Chenfeng would have long been invincible in the middle stage of Hedao.

“Even an old man like me who is in the late stage of He Dao can touch it.

"In short, Fellow Daoist Wei, don't take this person seriously, and don't place important responsibilities on him..."

"I understand!"

Wei Zhong understood clearly and knew that what Zhou Chenfeng said was just bragging.

All eyes converged on Qin Boxi:
"Brother Qin has just achieved the He Dao not long ago, and his own cultivation is not yet stable. There is no need to force yourself on this trip... The main thing is to protect your own safety."

Qin Boyi bowed his hands in thanks:
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Wei!

“Although I have just been promoted not long ago, Brother Wei, please do not look down on me.

"With my strength, it's no problem for me to deal with a few demon dragons of the same level, not to mention that I have the trump card given by my master..."

Wei Zhong nodded slowly, agreeing with what the latter said.

The physical body flew for several days, and Wei Zhong and his companions did not even use the flying boat in order to hide.

Use your spiritual sense to keep an eye on the surroundings to prevent being discovered by the evil dragon.

After flying for many days, Wei Zhong and his four companions finally arrived at the edge of the Shagang Demon Realm.

The scene before my eyes became increasingly desolate, with the dazzling sunlight overhead adding an even more scorching sensation.

Wei Zhong felt the burning sensation on his skin and couldn't help but look towards the red soil a hundred miles away.

That is exactly the land of red flame mentioned in the historical records.

"This place is really not a place where ordinary people can survive. The temperature alone is unbearable for normal people. It will be cooked in half an hour."

Wei Zhong took out the jade map and projected a light curtain onto the five people.

Pointing to a red spot on the map, Wei Zhong moved his finger downwards, finally pointing to a green area on the lower left side of the map.

“This is the lair of the Demon Bearded Dragon. It is surrounded by red flames and red soil, and is also considered the edge of the Red Flame Land.

“There are only two ways for us to enter.

“A route that drills into the red soil from here and moves along a relatively safe route that has been explored to reach the green mountain.

"The advantage is that it is easy to enter the Red Flame Land, but there are too many uncertainties along the way. We have to conceal our auras and slow down to prevent being discovered by the demon dragon and causing a major battle...

"The second way is to walk along the edge where the Shagang Demon Territory and the Red Flame Land meet. When you are closest to the green mountain, cross this red soil and reach the interior..."

An Jingchen couldn't help shaking his head when he heard this:

"The Fiery Dragon Wood Forest in the middle is not easy to deal with."

In this demon world, there are not only demon dragons, but also demon trees that can extract dragon blood.

The Fiery Dragon Wood is one of them.

The second route seems to be the safest and the easiest to reach Qingshan, but it passes through a fairly large Fiery Dragon Wood Forest.

The evil trees among them are very difficult to deal with, and even a cultivator of the Hedao sect will fall into them if he is not careful.

"Mr. An, you are well-informed. Have you ever come into direct contact with this kind of demonic tree?"

The latter nodded in response:
"I have encountered it before, but only in a small area. It is rare to see one that spans hundreds of thousands of miles like the one in front of me.

“The Fiery Dragon Wood, as its name suggests, is a special fire-attributed spiritual plant that contains dragon blood.

“When the tree is young, it is dark green, and contains a fierce fire within.

"As the years go by, the blazing fire will become higher and higher. The wood will also change from dark blue to fiery red, and its texture will become tougher and tougher, comparable to the magic weapons of cultivators like me.

"As long as you are entangled by a demon tree, the surrounding demon trees will all attack together, just like a large number of monks besieging you."

"A fourth or fifth level demon tree is fine, but a sixth or seventh level demon tree..."

The solemn expressions were revealed in everyone's eyes.

Wei Zhong looked thoughtful as he flipped through the information on the jade slip:

"The Fiery Dragon Wood is not afraid of fire or cold water... The only thing it can be considered weak to is being cut by a sharp weapon."

However, the above only applies to low- and medium-level demonic trees. High-level demonic trees have strong resurrection abilities. How can they be dealt with by randomly chopping them?
Wei Zhong's eyes moved, and finally focused on the word "tree heart".

The evil dragon has evil pills, and the evil tree has tree heart.

This "tree heart" is the condensed form of the demon tree's cultivation. If it is destroyed, the demon tree's vitality will be wiped out.

"The heart of the tree is hidden inside the tough trunk of the demon tree, so it's not easy to find!"

While Wei Zhong was thinking, Zhou Chenfeng pointed at the map and said:
"If a head-on collision doesn't work, can't we go around it?

"It's fine even in the sky, if we go around the edge of the Fierce Dragon Forest..."

"No, the Red Flame Land is special. Although high-altitude flight can get rid of the Fiery Dragon Wood, the danger is not low.

"There are many special dangerous places. Even those of us who are in harmony with the Dao will be in danger of death if we enter them."

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhong couldn't help but recall the Mingyu Spiritual Realm, the land of fire clouds that could give birth to the true essence of the sun.

The Red Flame Land in this demon world has the same effect as it.

"It is even more unacceptable to take a detour. The route is unknown and we have not explored it yet. We may have to pass through the nests of several seventh-level demon dragons. Once exposed, we will be unable to escape..."

Neither this nor that works, and all the solutions before us seem to be dead ends.

Wei Zhong stroked his chin, intending to see what the others would think.

"I think the first route is better."

An Yuxuan seconded the proposal and mentioned her ancestors.

Qin Boxi spread his hands, indicating that he lacked experience and gave up.

Zhou Chenfeng's eyes were uncertain, and he felt that it was safer to go the Fiery Dragon Wood route:
"The first route seems safe, but in fact it was only explored hundreds of years ago." Now that so much time has passed, even if there have been changes, we don't know.

"Comparatively speaking, since the Fiery Dragon Wood occupies this small area, there are fewer changes and the enemy situation is clear, so we are more confident."

What this person said made sense, and after hearing this explanation, the two members of the An family couldn't help but feel a little shaken.

Just as this person said, the information Wei Zhong obtained was inherently delayed.

If something changes, wouldn’t it be like walking into a tiger’s mouth if we take the first path?

Wei Zhong carefully considered the pros and cons.

He looked up at the four hesitant people and clapped his hands, and the clapping sound attracted their attention.

"How about this, let's go to the Fiery Dragon Woods first and take a look. I have a concealment method in my hands, which can help me find out something.

"After we understand the situation, we will decide whether to take this second path."

"Can!"

"Can……"

The few people had no objection, so they all continued to move forward along the border of the Shagang Demon Territory.

The journey was not as peaceful as the first half, and they encountered quite a few evil dragons.

After several unlucky encounters with a group of evil dragons, he was forced to show up.

Fortunately, the demon dragon was not of high rank, and with a little trick the five people were able to break free.

"Why are there so many demon dragons on this edge?"

An Jingchen spoke with a hint of doubt.

The others nodded upon hearing this.

"Could it be that changes have occurred here that we are not aware of?"

The gloomy look on the faces of several people became more and more intense.

"Change? That's easy."

Amid the puzzled looks of several people, Wei Zhong suddenly flew out of the team, raised his hand to grab the demon dragon not far away and captured it.

A golden mark entered his mind, and he suddenly changed from being manic to being obedient.

Wei Zhong asked, and the latter told him everything he knew.

But after questioning for a long time, the demon dragon could not explain the changes in the vicinity.

'Perhaps this dragon's rank is too low.'

Wei Zhong raised his hand and killed him.

The people around him saw this and were impressed by Wei Zhong's extraordinary methods.

"You can control the demon dragon so easily, it seems you have a great soul-controlling technique.

"But fellow Taoist, you should be careful and don't think of controlling the demon dragon for a long time."

Wei Zhong nodded slowly: "Don't worry, Mr. An, I understand."

After hanging around in Jiuzhou for so many years, Wei Zhong also learned some of the special features of the demon dragons in this world.

One of them is that it has a very high resistance to the soul-control methods used by human cultivators.

Even if it is controlled by humans, this control can be gradually weakened by worshiping totem poles repeatedly in the future.

Eventually, he broke away completely and rebelled.

Therefore, there is a strict ban within Jiuzhou on controlling demon dragons as one's own spiritual pet.

Wei Zhong naturally kept this information in mind.

However, perhaps because of the connection between "True Seal Treasure Art" and "Time Treasure Record", Wei Zhong has a very close connection with the demon dragon under his command.

Thousands of years have passed, and these evil dragons have shown no signs of rebellion.

Wei Zhong could only attribute it to the power of the rare treasure.

The five of them escaped, and this time Wei Zhong found a sixth-level demon dragon.

In just a few moves, Wei Zhong captured and controlled him.

After obtaining intelligence, we learned that changes had occurred in the Fierce Dragon Forest.

"A large number of demon trees in the outer area died?"

"Yes, Master. Without those dragon-troubling woods, the treasures in the forest have attracted many demon dragons. Spiritual fruits, tree hearts..."

After learning the whole story, Wei Zhong killed the demon dragon and kept it as his own spiritual material reserve.

"Such a change has actually occurred?"

After a moment of thought, several people looked at each other and seemed to have reached a consensus.

"This is a good opportunity. We can sneak in and maybe take advantage of the chaos caused by the demon dragon to cross this Fiery Dragon Forest."

Zhou Chenfeng said with a little excitement.

Wei Zhong nodded slowly:

"It's feasible, but we should follow the established arrangement. I will first go inside to investigate the truth of the situation..."

After finalizing the action plan, several people immediately rushed to the location of the Fierce Dragon Forest.

Outside a withered forest, a large number of evil dragons were lurking in it, flying around and coming and going.

The five people hid aside. Wei Zhong bowed to the others and then rode a demon dragon deep into the forest.

The evil dragon was soaring in the sky. Wei Zhong looked into the distance and saw that the outer part of the forest was withered and yellow, but there was still a large area of ​​red like a raging fire in the center.

"The higher the grade of the demonic tree, the stronger its resistance to this source of withering?"

Wei Zhong controlled the demon dragon to go deeper and deeper, landing several times on the way, and ordered the demon dragon to participate in the treasure grabbing.

Looking at the tree heart in his hand, it was half the size of a palm, emerald green in color, and contained a flame.

It feels round and smooth to the touch, like a piece of green jade.

"It has plenty of spiritual energy, and a very rare vitality. It seems that although the demon tree is withered, the heart of the tree is well preserved."

After several battles, Wei Zhong already had more than ten tree hearts in his hands, ranging in grades from the second to the fourth grade.

Just as green, just as full of vitality.

"Chase him! Don't let that guy get away with the tree heart!"

Not far away, many evil dragons were chasing in groups, and in front of them was a evil dragon covered in flaming feathers, flying rapidly, trying to escape.

Wei Zhong extended his spiritual sense and found a red tree heart in his dragon claws.

"The sixth-level tree heart has actually completely turned red?"

Looking at this Fire-Feathered Demon Dragon, it is only a fifth-level creature, no wonder it was chased here by a dragon.

Seeing that it was surrounded by demon dragons, the Fire-Feather Demon Dragon had nowhere to go. It made up its mind and went straight into the Fiery Dragon Forest that was filled with fiery red color.

The branches of the trees were waving, and only one or two screams were heard, and then there was no other sound from inside.

Those who were chasing the demon dragon stopped and looked towards the red mangrove forest, their eyes filled with fear.

After a few whispers, the group of evil dragons dispersed.

This is a dangerous place, and the demon dragons of low rank dare not go deep into it.

Wei Zhong looked at all this with an amused look on his face. In his consciousness, the Fire-Feathered Dragon was not dead, but was pierced by the branches and was hanging on the branches.

Only after sensing that the demon dragon from the outside was getting farther away did it break free from the tree.

He looked around carefully for a way out, and randomly chose a direction to try to leave the forest.

Wei Zhong's spiritual sense was locked on the latter, and he had no intention of going straight into the forest.

After watching for a while, the evil dragon actually found a way to survive and escaped.

“So safe?”

Wei Zhong took action and captured the Fire-Feathered Dragon.

After some inspection, when he found the heart of the tree, his eyes were fixed.

I saw that the red tree heart had been embedded in the flesh and blood of the demon dragon, merging with its dragon bones to become a whole.
