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

Chapter 452: The Spiritual Insect Will Shed Its Shadow, War Is the Treasure

"Ok?"

Wei Zhong looked up suddenly and saw the shadow of the demon tree in the sky drooping slightly. It seemed to be awakened by something and showed hostility towards him and others.

"Demon dragon help?"

The threat was so clear that the others who were blazing the trail also sensed it.

"The power behind this Demonic Bearded Dragon cannot be underestimated. It can even mobilize this demon tree that is in the process of upgrading."

An Jingchen's expression froze slightly, and the expressions of the others also changed.

Wei Zhong waved his sleeves:

"Everyone, look ahead. I will deal with this monster!"

After saying this, he was about to take out the Red Tassel Immortal Spear.

This monster is so powerful that it cannot be dealt with by an ordinary seventh-level magic weapon. Wei Zhong can only take out the magic spear to fight it.

But at this moment, Qin Boxi suddenly spoke:

"Fellow Daoist Wei, why don't you let me take care of it?"

"You?" Wei Zhong looked puzzled, and the latter suddenly took out a small axe.

The axe is only as long as a palm, the axe head is only the size of one and a half finger joints, and the axe handle accounts for a full 70% of its length, like a smaller version of a long axe.

The color is dull, like stone.

"This……"

An Jingchen and the others seemed to be quite familiar with this axe, and were all shocked:

"General Guan is quite fond of Brother Qin, and he even gave you such a treasure."

Wei Zhong communicated with several people and found out that this small axe was a disposable magic weapon.

It absorbed some of the power of Guan Hong's life-saving magic weapon, the Star-Breaking Axe, and was nurtured by Guan Hong for a long time. Once it was used, it was comparable to the full-strength attack of Guan Hong, a perfect cultivator of the Hedao realm.

"With this thing, the power of the law will not be exerted, so there is nothing to worry about."

Since everyone acknowledged the power of this thing, Wei Zhong gave up his position:

"Please, after this battle, we will take the credit for Fellow Daoist Qin!"

"Serious words!"

Qin Boxi walked forward and looked up at the sky. The shadow of the evil tree was slowly lowering, and a thick branch fell like a human hand, about to hit the spirit boat that everyone was riding on.

At this moment, Qin Boxi bit his finger, blood spurted out, he smeared it on the axe, then raised his hand and threw it away.

The small axe absorbed his blood, and as if some kind of switch was turned on, the axe body expanded rapidly.

It expanded from the length of a palm to one foot, ten feet, ten feet, a hundred feet, until it was the same size as the shadow of the branch in the air.

The axe blade chopped down and collided with it, like a thunderclap out of nowhere.

The void was shattered, and the scenery inside disappeared.

The huge shock wave pushed away the spiritual energy within a radius of hundreds of miles, and even the spiritual boat that Wei Zhong and others were riding on was lifted up and thrown far away from the range of the Fiery Dragon Forest.

"It's such a powerful force, but it's a bit too dispersed."

Wei Zhong secretly commented in his mind.

This attack was not carried out by Guan Hong himself, but by his disciple. He had basically no control over the strength, which led to this situation.

'It delays the enemy but does not hurt them enough.'

Sure enough, when the aftermath dissipated, Wei Zhong saw that the shadow of the demon tree was only slightly illusory and did not change much.

There were few injuries.

Fortunately, the aftermath of the dissipation had been pushed far away by Wei Zhong and others, and they got rid of the entanglement of the surrounding demon trees. As for the guardian demon dragon of Qingshan, there was a forest of fierce dragon trees between them, making it impossible to pursue it.

Seeing Wei Zhong and others using the force to escape, the two demon dragons became anxious and were about to use the broken horns in their hands and ask the demon tree for help.

Unexpectedly, when the latter heard it, it just shook the branches, and then returned to its original position, becoming dead silent.

A horn can only be used once.

The previous strike has already reached an agreement, and there is no possibility of further attack.

Erlong was anxious and angry after receiving this reply.

As a last resort, they had to cross the Fiery Dragon Forest and chase in the direction where Wei Zhong and others fled.

Unfortunately, these efforts were ultimately in vain.

With the consumption of a large amount of top-grade spirit stones and the active supply of mana by everyone.

The spirit boat was traveling at a very fast speed, quickly moving away from the troubled area of ​​the Red Flame Land.

"Okay, those two demon dragons should give up."

Not far away is the territory occupied by Jiuzhou. If these evil dragons move forward again, the human race of Jiuzhou will take the initiative to encircle and suppress them.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that they were now out of danger.

After only a few dozen miles of flight, a figure suddenly broke through the protective formation of the spirit boat and arrived at the bow of the boat.

His figure was wrapped in a ball of golden light, and his face and figure were blurred.

However, An Jingchen and the others quickly recognized his identity and bowed:
"I've met the Taoist Master!"

Wei Zhong took out the Demonic Bearded Dragon from his portable palace. Qi Han took it and examined it, then frowned slightly:
"It's too badly injured."

Wei Zhong immediately bowed:

"Master, please forgive me. This dragon has extraordinary means. I had to use my trump card to subdue it. I couldn't hold back, which led to this..."

Qi Han waved his hand upon hearing this:
"That's enough. You have successfully completed your mission. If you want any reward, just report it directly."

After saying that, he waved his sleeves and disappeared.

"What a mysterious escape technique!"

With Wei Zhong's current strength, he didn't even notice how the other party left.

In just a blink of an eye, it disappeared.

It was as if its own existence had disappeared into thin air.

"The power of the Taoist master is indeed beyond our reach."

An Jingchen sighed and looked up, his eyes full of admiration.

'With such mysterious and elusive divine skills, it's no wonder that the people of Kyushu worship them so much.'

Mission accomplished, Wei Zhong and others drove the spirit boat back home.

When they returned to the Yunling Pagoda, Da Jin immediately came to meet them.

Wei Zhong did not bring the other party with him on this trip. Since his promotion, his strength has increased and ordinary people can no longer detect his existence.

Even if I leave Wei Zhong, there won't be any problem staying in this Soul Transporting Tower alone.

After confirming with Dajin that there was nothing abnormal about the two Soul Transporting Towers, Wei Zhong nodded slowly and sat cross-legged in the mist pool to practice. At the same time, he divided his attention and recorded the process of this mission on a jade slip.

Concealing most of his own means, the record was completed, and Wei Zhong attached the required items.

Because this mission was issued personally by Qi Han, the Taoist master of Jiuzhou, Wei Zhong asked for an item that was not on the list: Qianqiu Tea.

It's not the finished tea, but the tea plant and how it's grown.

A magical power carried the jade slip out of the Soul Transporting Tower, then flew to Lingshan and landed in Guan Hong's hands.

The latter recorded the experiences of each person and then reported the required rewards.

Not long after, Wei Zhong got what he needed.

A young tea plant.

"This time, the Taoist master of Jiuzhou is really generous."

The tea tree presented to Wei Zhong is of the sixth level. With Wei Zhong's abilities, he can cultivate it to the seventh level with a little bit of cultivation. Picking the tea and making it into tea will become a means to promote the progress of his own cultivation.

Plant it in the portable palace, and follow the cultivation method to select some branches for cuttings...

After more than two hundred years, a tea garden occupied half of the hilltop within the palace.

Most of the tea trees are only at level four, and there is not a single level five tree.

There is only one sixth-grade tea tree. Compared with when Wei Zhong got it, the quality of the tea tree has even regressed.

This is all because Wei Zhong chose the branches and damaged the roots.

But the huge gains are also obvious.

The spiritual tea trees on half of the mountain will soon become firewood for the growth of this sixth-grade Qianqiu tea.

After another hundred years of cultivation, Wei Zhong came out of his practice, exhaled a breath of foul air, and a panel message appeared in his eyes: [Name: Wei Zhong]

[Spiritual Cultivation: Middle Stage of Hedao (Sixth Level, 1%)]

[Physical cultivation: Late seventh stage (seventh floor, 57%)]

【Shouyuan: 19753/50000】

"If I can advance my cultivation further, I will only need one more level to reach the late stage of He Dao."

Wei Zhong jumped out of the fog pool and teleported to his personal palace in one step.

The emerald green in front of me occupied the entire hilltop. It was the Qianqiu tea that Wei Zhong had painstakingly cultivated over hundreds of years.

For these teas, Wei Zhong not only spent a large amount of spirit stones, but also shortened his lifespan by nearly a hundred years.

But the harvest is also huge. Today, Qianqiu Tea Mountain has perfectly achieved a positive cycle.

From the lowest first-level tea tree, to the second level... the fifth level, the sixth level, from bottom to top, it forms a pyramid structure.

There are ten sixth-level tea trees, the one provided by Qi Han is the largest and the core of the entire tea mountain spiritual formation.

Absorbing nutrients from a mountain, growing rapidly.

Compared with the natural growth rate, it is several times faster.

Wei Zhong never picked the sixth-level spiritual tea, but kept it as the foundation for the growth of the tea tree.

Seeing the tea trees all over the mountain, Wei Zhong became more and more delighted.

Strolling in it, adjusting the operation of the spiritual formation, clusters of colorful butterflies will follow you.

These unexpected psyllables not only have the ability to create illusions, but are also good at catching pests.

It is precisely because of its existence that Wei Zhong saves a lot of idle time.

After taking care of the tea trees, Wei Zhong came to the cave where spiritual pets were cultivated.

The number of spotted fire ants has increased greatly, and a huge colony has accumulated in the cave.

The golden scale insect is a little special.

Wei Zhong moved his feet and came to a cave built purely of metal spiritual materials.

The ceiling, the ground, and even the surrounding walls of the cave are all covered with dense holes.

Magic power lifted up Wei Zhong's body and gradually went deeper inside. A bug nest made of warm jade floated in the air.

There was only one demon insect inside, with a bulging belly, half the size of Wei Zhong's fist.

Apart from that, no other trace of the spirit insect was seen.

This is the only one left among the group of golden scale insects.

About a hundred years ago, the golden-scaled insects became restless. A large number of them stopped devouring gold and iron spiritual materials and instead began to devour their own kind, absorbing their nutrients and thus advancing.

In this way, the big fish eats the small fish, the small fish eats the shrimp, and in the end only this single golden scale insect is left.

Its aura was rising, rapidly approaching sixth-level perfection, but it was also like a fluttering flame, extremely unstable.

Wei Zhong provided him with a large number of treasures and inspected him frequently.

Her belly kept getting bigger and bigger, and now it looks like she is pregnant.

However, under the induction of Wei Zhong's true seal, the golden-scaled insect was not pregnant, but was shedding its shell.

Shed the old shell to be reborn.

Wei Zhong didn't know when he would be able to transform successfully, so he could only devote a part of his mind to paying attention to the changes of the true seal.

"This insect is ferocious. It will become my trump card in the future."

The golden-scaled insects devour everything. When they reach the sixth level, they can gnaw on seventh-level spiritual materials and dig out eighth-level spiritual materials from the mine.

How can it be possible to reach the seventh level?

I'm afraid that any magic weapon of the seventh level cannot withstand those sharp teeth.

The eighth-level magic weapon also has the capital to shake.

After checking and confirming that the golden scale insect had no possibility of completing its metamorphosis in the short term, Wei Zhong left the palace.

Just then, a letter arrived with Wei Zhongtan's internal information. He immediately flew to Lingshan Mountain, where many Hedao masters had already gathered.

When many people saw Wei Zhong coming, they hurried forward to greet him.

Wei Zhong found a good seat and sat down, then asked An Jingchen beside him:

"Friend An, is there any unusual movement on the front line again?"

In the past hundred years, I don’t know if it was the reason why Wei Zhong and others captured the devil’s bearded dragon.

The battlefield on the western front has become much more dangerous. Seventh-level demon dragons appear frequently, leading their tribes to attack the defense line.

It caused a lot of casualties to Kyushu.

At the same time, Wei Zhong also sensed the breath of eighth-level monsters several times, all of which were born on the edge where the Shagang Demon Realm and the Red Flame Land meet.

But the Taoist master of Jiuzhou is still reliable.

Before the big monster could get inside, they took action in time to repel it.

After doing this for more than ten times, he finally gave up completely.

The demon dragons faced on the western front also returned to level seven and below.

However, the number of high-level demon dragons increased greatly, which put considerable pressure on the western battlefield.

Jiuzhou was forced to transfer some Hedao from other regions.

Wei Zhong's old friend Ding Tianyou was among them. He was sitting aside and chatting about something with his familiar colleagues, with a lewd smile on his face.

"There are some unusual movements, but they are not large enough for a meeting like this one."

As he scanned the area, he saw that those who had joined the Hedao sect had arrived one after another, and their number had exceeded ten.

Excluding those guarding the key spiritual places, they already account for half of the people on the Western Front. With unanimous opinions, they can even influence the overall strategy of the entire Western Front.

"Friend Wei is in a high position, don't you know?"

An Jingchen asked back, but Wei Zhong smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"I am devoted to cultivation and do not want to deal with matters like this. I will leave everything to Fellow Daoist Guan..."

Wei Zhong took the initiative to do this in order to spend more time on cultivation.

The power on the western front of Kyushu was not what Wei Zhong was seeking.

It would be great if I could control two Spirit Transport Towers.

After waiting for a while, Guan Hong and Qin Boxi finally arrived.

Everyone stood up to greet him.

Guan Hong walked through the hall, sat down with everyone, and waved his sleeves:

"Everyone, please take a seat!"

Then the purpose of this meeting was explained:

“I have called you all together this time to announce a major event.

“My war on the western front has lasted for a thousand years, always hovering near the Chongming Mountains. Even if we make some progress, we are quickly beaten back by the demon dragon.

“It has been like this for a thousand years. I feel ashamed for the human race of Jiuzhou and for the Taoist master.

"Therefore, I intend to launch a major war, push the battle line three thousand miles, and merge into the Liaoyang Mountains..."

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

Three thousand miles is not a far distance. If you use the Hedao method, you can reach the destination in a moment.

However, for the war on the Western Front that had lasted for thousands of years, it was a difficult step.

The soldiers on the Western Front wanted to take this step countless times, but were always beaten back by the fierce attack of the demon dragon.

"General Guan, I'm afraid this isn't a good time. It would take a lot of effort for us to just resist the attack of the demon dragon, let alone use defense as an offense..."

"Yes, I understand the general's anxiety, but..."

Guan Hong raised his hand to suppress the discussion:
“I have already reported this matter to the Taoist master.

"The Taoist master was very pleased to hear the news and will transfer forces from within Kyushu to help us."

Wei Zhong was suspicious and asked carefully through voice transmission:
"Friend Guan, why is the war so hasty?"

The latter replied:
"The Sun Essence is about to be born, and this time we are paving the way for it..."
