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

Chapter 491: Immortal Weapon Casting, Return to the Dao
Wei Zhong, who had just ascended to heaven, couldn't figure out what the situation was like at the upper level.

Carrying the newly repaired empty thunder pickaxe, Wei Zhong once again entered the thunder mine to dig for ore.

Digging for half a year, practicing outside for half a year, selling ore...

This cycle lasted for decades. One day, when Wei Zhong just walked out of the mine, he saw the chaos in the sky dissipate and the sunlight was shining into the city again.

"The Void Tide is over?"

I looked around with confusion and saw many unfamiliar faces.

Some of these people had happy expressions on their faces, while others were injured and full of sorrow.

After some inquiries, Wei Zhong finally learned that the void tide that had lasted for nearly a hundred years had ended.

It was short enough.

Void tides only occur once every ten thousand years, but each time they last only a hundred years.

How can such a 1% ratio not be called short-lived?

Many low-level cultivators may not even see it once in their entire lives in this city.

After returning to his residence, Wei Zhong continued his practice.

After half a year, Wei Zhong opened his eyes and probed the thunder hub in his body with his spiritual sense.

"My practice has been going more smoothly recently."

Wei Zhong became more and more adept at taking out the Thunder Evil, and the speed of refining it into the Thunder Hub became faster and faster.

To this end, Wei Zhong also set aside a lot of time to continue his practice, maintaining a work and practice life that cycles once a year.

"Although the refining speed has increased, the filling progress of the Thunder Core is still slow due to the quality of the thunder. If we want to completely expand the field of laws and reach the realm of Xuanxian, there is still a long way to go."

Wei Zhong has enough self-awareness. The cultivation after the Immortal Stage is purely a slow process.

There are not many Xuanxian in the entire Jinhai City. People of this level can even serve as leaders or elders in certain immortal forces.

It can be called the golden elixir in the human world and the harmony of the Tao in the spiritual world.

"It's a pity that the resources in Jinhai City are still a little lacking. There is only one Immortal Yuan Meridian that is divided up by many cultivators, and there is no Dao Yuan Vortex."

The Daoyuan Vortex is a secret place of laws that Wei Zhong had recently inquired about.

It is the "law tide" that manifests the laws of heaven and earth in the fairyland, and it will form natural vortex nodes in certain specific areas of the fairyland.

This kind of place has abundant power of laws, and is most suitable for immortal practitioners to replenish the deficiency of their own power of laws.

It’s a pity that such rare resources are not only geographically restricted, but are also often controlled by major sects in the fairy world.

It was something that Wei Zhong, who was working in Jinhai City, could not access at all.

"If the Cinder City really exists, I'm afraid I can enter it to practice by spending immortal jade."

With a silent sigh, Wei Zhong took the mustard seed thunder box and rushed to Yunlai Baiwufang again.

"Seven immortal jades! Fellow Daoist Wei is becoming more and more skilled at mining!"

Wei Zhong didn't know whether Wang Xuyao ​​was praising or mocking him, so he nodded lightly and completed the transaction.

"How is the research on Fellow Daoist Wei's Thunder Pick going?"

Wei Zhong shook his head helplessly:

"It's too difficult to refine the weapon, so I can only do the repair work."

A trace of regret flashed across Wang Xuyao's face:
"pity……"

After leaving Yunlai Baiwufang, Wei Zhong turned many corners on the street and finally entered an alley.

A Mahayana monk outside the door was holding a tobacco leaf in his hand. Seeing Wei Zhong approaching, he immediately stood up:
"Senior Wei, you are here!"

Wei Zhong nodded lightly, stepped over the threshold without looking back, and entered the courtyard.

There were already many cultivators in the courtyard, but their cultivation was only at the immortal level. When they saw Wei Zhong appear, they all greeted him.

"Hello, Senior Wei..."

"senior……"

Wei Zhong walked past the crowd, pushed open the door and entered the house behind the courtyard.

There were flickering lights all around, which were engraved array patterns to prevent others from peeping and eavesdropping.

The three monks inside saw Wei Zhong appear, glanced at him, and then lowered their heads to do their own things.

Wei Zhong also found a place to sit down, looking at the three people intentionally or unintentionally.

These three people were friends that Wei Zhong had made over the past hundred years. They were originally idle immortal-level figures.

Decades ago, several people were invited to join together and form a small gang called the Red Cloud Gang.

Among the characters are Wei Zhong, an immortal who has some experience in refining equipment, and the old miner in iron armor whom Wei Zhong met in the mine.

In addition, there was a formation master who was moving abacus sticks in his hand, and an alchemist who was fiddling with medicinal herbs.

The four of them are all elders in the Red Cloud Gang. As for the leader...

"Fuck!"

The door was pushed open, and a monk in a red robe walked into the room.

His robe fluttered, and he closed the door naturally. When he saw the four people in the room, he said:

"You guys are on time, a few minutes earlier than me."

"I've met the gang leader!"

Several people greeted him and he slowly sat down.

Judging from her voice and figure, Wei Zhong knew that the other party was a female cultivator.

It’s just that the latter has been covering his face all year round, and every time he reveals his face it is a different one, making him look quite mysterious.

The reason why the Hongyun Gang was named Hongyun was because this female cultivator recruited and formed the Gang and named it after it.

“The void tide that has lasted for a hundred years has finally ended, and those forces that have been fighting at the border of the void for a long time are about to return.

"How should we deal with ourselves? It's time to discuss a plan."

Wei Zhong and the others looked at each other, and the old man in armor responded:

"Why not give up those mines?"

"Ding ding," this is the sound of moving abacus sticks, "No, this void tide has destroyed a lot of mines inside. If we give up the completed mines, the gang's income will drop sharply..."

Over the past hundred years, because the focus of many forces shifted to the Void Tide, not much attention was paid to the affairs of the mine.

The five immortals of the Hongyun Society joined forces with many Mahayana and Hedao disciples under them and occupied a small area in several mineral veins.

Among them, there are two fixed thunder mines, and there are four other types of mineral veins.

"That makes sense. If we give it up so easily, not only will our profits be reduced, but other forces might even think we are easy to bully. Even the few remaining ones will be taken away by others."

"But even if they don't let us, what else can we do? Those families all have Xuanxians in charge. How can we not be humble if we can't defeat them?"

The one who spoke this time was the Alchemist.

Wei Zhong was stunned, and suddenly heard the others asking questions, he touched his chin and said:
"It's all up to you to decide. I have no objection."

Such an irrelevant attitude made the alchemist and the formation master angry.

Gang leader Hongyun pondered for a while:

"Since you guys can't make up your mind, why don't you let me try to contact those gangs first?

"Leave the Thunder Mine to Fellow Daoist Wei and Fellow Daoist Zhou. You two will protect the two mines. If we are really unable to defeat them, we will abandon one of them and keep the other as the livelihood of our Red Cloud Gang.

"also……"

After the leader of the Hongyun Gang gave instructions on all the tasks, he left first.

Wei Zhong bowed and said goodbye, then walked out of the courtyard with the armored monk.

Seeing the two men leave, the other two gang elders were filled with anger:

"I don't know why the gang leader recruited these two people into the gang. They just want to guard that little mineral vein and not interfere in other people's affairs." Upon hearing this, one of the men's angry expression instantly turned into a sigh.
"Hey, stop talking, the gang leader has his own considerations...

"The gang led by the five immortals like us is not a small force in this Jinhai City. I hope we can get a good territory in this dispute..."

"Brother Zhou, the gang leader is acting out of character today and is taking such a tough stance," Wei Zhong said with a puzzled look on his face.

The Hongyun Gang is not small, but not big either. The five immortals can't make any splash in this huge Cinder City.

Compared with the gangs led by the immortals, there is a world of difference.

“I don’t know what the leader thinks, but I have heard some rumors from other gangs recently.

"It is rumored that the gang leader obtained a treasure in the void tide, and it seems that he has the confidence to compete with the leaders of other forces."

"Oh? What kind of treasure can fight against a mysterious immortal with the power of an immortal?"

Zhou Haoming shook his head:

“I don’t know. I also heard about it from someone else. The authenticity of this news remains to be determined.

"But judging by the leader's behavior, it seems that this is not just groundless...

"You and I will guard the mine, and leave the rest to the leader."

It's not that the two of them were lazy, it's just the order they received.

"I hope we can hold on. Otherwise, if we go back and dig out the mine again, it will be difficult to make any profit for at least a hundred years."

Zhou Haoming rushed to the mine, while Wei Zhong returned to his residence again.

He waved his right hand from his waist, and the fairy jades piled up in small piles fell to the ground.

With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he saw about four hundred of them.

These are all the accumulation of Wei Zhong’s hundred years of hard work.

Wei Zhong has repaid the debt of ten fairy jades imposed on him by Jinhai City.

In addition, this cave was extended by Wei Zhong for two hundred years, plus the daily purchase of various cultivation resources, now there are only about four hundred and sixty Qingling fairy jades left.

"Joining a gang really makes you restless!"

Thinking of what he had just recalled, Wei Zhong felt a little regretful for a moment.

"I can only blame myself for accepting the favor from Hong Yun..."

With a helpless look on his face, he took out the magic weapon he carried with him.

A purple-gold lightning staff fell into Wei Zhong's palm.

It is about the length of an ordinary person's arm, and there is no flash of lightning on its surface. It is like a real wooden or stone object, with all its power restrained.

"The power of the immortal weapon is indeed extraordinary."

Pushing his own innate magic weapon to the level of an immortal weapon, this is the benefit Wei Zhong got from Hong Yun.

The foundation of the Nine Tribulations Mysterious Pivot Staff was already good. The body of the staff was made of a hundred thousand year old golden thunder bamboo, and the top of the staff was made of the purple sky divine thunder generated within the void. After undergoing the forging of nine levels of immortal thunder, it became a top-grade eighth-level magic weapon once it was produced.

Wei Zhong searched for many years but could not find the method to upgrade his immortal weapon.

Finally, I met Hong Yun at an exchange meeting.

The other party took out the method to upgrade this treasure, but the price of the transaction was not fairy jade.

Instead, he tried to win over Wei Zhong to join the Hongyun Gang that he wanted to form.

In order to enhance his own strength, Wei Zhong had no choice but to agree.

I have to say that Hong Yun’s ability is indeed extraordinary.

Even the secret method of immortality that Yunlai Baiwufang did not have was obtained by her.

Moreover, the effect is particularly significant. However, only thirty years have passed, and Wei Zhong's Nine Tribulations Profound Pivot Staff has shown signs of moving away from being a magic weapon and becoming a fairy weapon.

Gently stroking the thunder staff in his hand, Wei Zhong could feel a certain life throbbing coming from it.

This throbbing becomes stronger and stronger as time goes by. When it is completely formed, it will be the time for this magic weapon to be promoted to an immortal weapon.

"The "Magic Weapon Soul Containing Method" uses magic weapons to nourish immortal spirits, and the immortal spirits feed back the magic weapons to enter the immortal stage...

“This method is really unheard of.”

Such mysterious means are entirely dependent on the lightning seeds condensed by Wei Zhong.

Without the power of the Tao Seed, this immortal spirit could not be born at all.

Recalling the situation when he met Hong Yun, Wei Zhong said more than once:
"Could it be that this person has long seen that I have the Lightning Dao Seed?"

Such doubts made Wei Zhong always fearful of Hong Yun, especially since the latter never revealed his true appearance and even his robe was so wide that it covered his entire body, as if he was not allowed to be seen by others.

"I'm afraid this person is in big trouble!"

Wei Zhong sighed, it was a pity that he had been on the pirate ship for more than ten years before he gradually discovered this, and it was too late to turn back.

After taking the Nine Tribulations Mysterious Pivot Staff back into his body to nourish it, Wei Zhong took back the fairy jade and slowly closed his eyes.

He took a pill and sat cross-legged to practice.

The internal energy technique was running, this time it was not the "Mysterious Chapter of the Heavenly Devouring Thunder Pivot" that tempered the Thunder Pivot, but the "Five Elements Dao Building Sutra".

Wei Zhong's spiritual journey was as easy as eating and drinking, and was exceptionally smooth.

The resources in the fairy world far exceed those in the spiritual world, and the quality of the fairy energy flowing in the fairy veins under the body is also far superior to the general spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

It is of great help to the spiritual realm below the immortal level.

In addition, there are various rare elixirs and secret medicines for spiritual practice.

These things might be extremely expensive for ordinary cultivators, but for Wei Zhong, who had already climbed to the immortal level in physical cultivation, they were actually just that.

Wei Zhong was not stingy with his immortal jade and bought a large amount of cultivation resources.

Now, just over a hundred years after flying to this world, a familiar bottleneck has appeared in front of Wei Zhong.

Hedao!

After a hundred years of practice, he was able to reach the state of refining emptiness and breaking through the state of unity. This speed was not only unique, but also hard to find in all the worlds.

The spiritual power barrier was broken in an instant, and the inner demon's calamity turned into memory fragments, filling Wei Zhong's sea of ​​consciousness.

When the thunder disaster appeared, Wei Zhong walked out of his residence and headed straight for the disaster clouds in the sky.

His body tumbled in the calamity cloud, absorbing the heavenly thunder into his body and tempering his thunder core.

Such a calamity-filled scene is nothing in the huge city of Ashes.

The only unique thing was that while the others were holding treasures to overcome the tribulation, only Wei Zhong took the initiative to rush into the thunder tribulation.

But, that was all, a mere thunder tribulation of refining emptiness and breaking the unity of the Dao. In the Jinhai City where the immortals were entrenched, it was just a small splash.

No one even cared how many thunder tribulations Wei Zhong had survived.

The nine-layer heavenly thunder passed by, and an abnormal thunder disaster occurred here.

The seemingly powerful thunderbolt only caused a few tingling sensations when it fell on Wei Zhong's body.

"Weak, too weak!"

In thousands of years, Wei Zhong has not had a single upgrade. Even his rare treasure, the "Record of Time", was suppressed by the two true spirits of laws.

Wei Zhong abandoned all paths that could touch the laws of time.

He only practiced the "Five Elements Dao Building Sutra", and the breath of time he was exposed to was pitifully small.

Even the abnormal thunder tribulation that occurred during the tribulation was abnormally weak.

He raised his hand and absorbed it into the Thunder Hub in his body, feeling himself becoming more and more full.

Wei Zhong's face showed no emotion, he just kept calculating with his fingers.

"At the current speed, I will be able to break through the Mahayana stage within three hundred years. The remaining time is just to pass through the nine layers of immortal thunder. I am also an immortal figure in the path of spiritual cultivation."
