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

Chapter 507: The Treasure Has Spirit
"Compared to lowering my cultivation level by krypton level, it is safer to use this Mahayana to ascend to the Nine Tribulations."

After going through nine tribulations, Wei Zhong became a scattered immortal in the spiritual realm. If he could condense a five-element, yin-yang, or time seed at will, he would enter the realm of true immortal.

The Dao Seed, which is extremely difficult for others, is not a big problem at all for Wei Zhong.

Practicing and refining weapons, day after day, for decades or even hundreds of years.

Sensing the mysterious energy in the dark, Wei Zhong flew into the sky of Jinhai City to greet the first heavenly calamity.

With the blessing of a true immortal's physique, this heavenly tribulation did not cause any harm to Wei Zhong, and he survived it with ease.

Wei Zhong also discovered that the effectiveness of this great Mahayana thunder tribulation was already equivalent to a bottle of excellent Tao essence.

'It's just as effective as that bottle of green thunder.'

If there was a look of joy on Wei Zhong's face, it meant that in the next four thousand years, Wei Zhong would have at least an equal or higher level of thunder tribulations that would serve as nourishment for his progress.

Combined with the various thunder-related spiritual objects collected from the Hong family and Yunlai Baiwufang, the expected time to reach the Xuanxian level of cultivation will be advanced.

"Could it be that in less than ten thousand years, I can reach the realm of Xuanxian?"

Thinking back to those immortals who had spent tens of thousands of years and still failed to condense the seeds of laws and Tao, Wei Zhong suddenly felt that his own speed was considered fast.

'Even compared to Mitian who possesses the Dao Seed of Luck Law, my speed seems to be faster than that.'

Full of joy, he fell into the Red Cloud Gang’s base.

In recent years, Wei Zhong has been going out from time to time, and the disciples of the Hong family have become accustomed to Wei Zhong's behavior.

It doesn't matter whether Wei Zhong is transcending the tribulation or being secretly eliminated by other forces.

This group of Hong family disciples had their own missions, and few of them stayed in the base all year round. Instead, most of them wandered around the outside world following some unknown orders.

"Fuck!"

The courtyard door was pushed open, and Wei Zhong saw Zhou Haoming as soon as he turned around.

"Brother Wei..."

"It's Brother Zhou. Why didn't Brother Zhou go down to the mine today? Did he dig up something good?"

The latter shook his head:
"I don't have such ability, but I received an order from the gang leader not to go to those mines in the next few years and take a good rest."

"This……"

Wei Zhong thought of the Hongmeng treasure again.

"Could it be that this treasure is hidden deep in a mine?"

"The Thunder Pick in my hand has been worn out due to excessive wear and tear. I plan to ask Brother Wei to help me make a real immortal weapon Thunder Pick?"

"I do have this ability, but it is very expensive to make. I am afraid that ordinary meteorite lightning iron and meteorite lightning marrow will not be enough..."

As he spoke, Zhou Haoming smiled:
"Friend Wei, please look!"

Wei Zhong looked intently and found a golden light in Zhou Haoming's hand:
"Is this meteorite? Where did Brother Zhou get this treasure? Did he dig it out from a mine?"

The latter uttered a "huh":
"I don't have such ability. I just bought it from other Taoist friends. This is not even worth a single share. It is worth at most fifty immortal jades. Combined with some immortal materials, I wonder if Fellow Daoist Wei has the confidence to refine it?"

"Of course there are," Zhou Haoming took the materials from him and then talked about the changes in the gang.

“Brother Wei, these new gang members are not mining, nor are they trying to capture void creatures to earn money. This is really a bit strange.

"Brother Wei, do you know..."

Wei Zhong interrupted:

"Is there such a thing? I have been staying in this training room for many years, but I know very little about it."

Wei Zhong pretended to know nothing, with a confused and puzzled look on his face.

Zhou Haoming didn't know whether Wei Zhong was lying or really confused. He just thought that Wei Zhong had indeed made a lot of money over the years by relying on the craft of refining equipment and had never gone down to the mine again. He couldn't help but be more convinced of what Wei Zhong said.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it!"

Wei Zhong smiled when he heard this:

"Brother Zhou, why do you have such an expression? The strengthening of the gang should be a good thing for us.

"Even if these people might be suspicious, they can't escape the gang leader's sharp eyes.

"Hundreds of years of acceptance have passed, what else can be a problem?"

"Brother Wei, what you said makes sense."

Wei Zhong asked several other colleagues in the association and learned that these people were quite hardworking and kept traveling between mines and hunting grounds to earn money for their practice.

"We don't have the skills like Fellow Daoist Wei, so we don't have an easy life..."

Zhou Haoming said goodbye and left.

Wei Zhong's gaze shifted, involuntarily heading towards the direction of the mine, as if he had overcome many obstacles and saw the entrance to the mine.

He stared at it for a long time, and finally sighed:
“The treasures left by the immortals are indeed touching.

"Even I am not completely immune to greed in this situation."

His sight was focused on the bottom of his sea of ​​consciousness, where the suppressed "Record of Time" was stored.

Wei Zhong recalled that there was a page about "space" in the book.

Before this, Wei Zhong didn't know what these pages represented, but now he understood. They were clearly the interpretation of the Dao patterns of the laws.

Walking into the training room, Wei Zhong sat cross-legged on the cushion, recalling the fragments of his inner demon's memory.

'Could it be that the Taoist Master Hunyuan really took the law of time as the foundation and walked out a different path, or is it just a path involving multiple laws?'

Wei Zhong grabbed his hair, and the life essence seed penetrated his body and appeared in front of him.

"This Tao Seed is too special. The Life Essence clone is only one of its abilities. There must be other secrets.

"However, I don't know how to invoke the method..."

After thinking for a long time, I only lamented:
"After all, his realm is still low. A True Immortal is only at the level of refining the Dao Seed of Laws. How can he have the ability to see through this alien Dao Seed?"

Wei Zhong waved his sleeves to take back the life essence seed and immersed himself in practice again.

The location of the Cinder City Mine.

A large number of Xuanxian gathered and then split into several small teams. They held detection instruments and explored the mines in various places.

Hong Yun walked into the cave, followed by Hong Shichang, Mitian, Xu Li and several true immortals.

Although there is hatred between them, they are partners in this situation.

After all, compared with the City Lord's Mansion, the Tuoba family, and those chambers of commerce, the relationships between these gangs are much better.

Even if there were some frictions a few days ago, it is not something that cannot be tolerated.

"We have searched this mine thousands of times, but there is no trace of the treasure.

"Could it be that the Tuoba family has pointed us to a dead end?"

Hong Shichang spread his spiritual awareness, sensing everything in the surrounding mine. His overwhelming power frightened all the monks present.

When he lowered his head, he saw the instrument in Hong Yun's hand:

"Boss, have you discovered anything?"

Hong Yun was about to shake her head when the magic weapon in her hand suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

At the same time, in the other teams' locations, the magic weapons in Xuanxian's hands all responded.

Everyone thought that the treasure was not far away from them, so they rushed into the depths of the mine.

The spiritual light on the magic weapon became more and more brilliant, illuminating the cave like a floating galaxy.

Just when everyone was excited, suddenly a shaking sound came from the surrounding rock walls.

Cracks appeared one after another, and many mines began to collapse in an instant. "Not good!"

The monks who realized something was wrong returned, but it was obviously too late.

Or maybe they were blinded by greed and had gone too deep, reaching the depths of the mine.

This kind of place is not located within the fairyland, but extends out and is exposed in the void.

As the mine collapsed and shattered, a large number of monks were directly exposed to the void.

The space inside was already extremely unstable, and the collapse of the mine instantly triggered a space storm.

A large number of void cracks strangled the cultivators who had no time to escape. Even the highly skilled Xuanxian were swept into the deep void by the storm and disappeared without a trace.

Only then did this group of exploration teams escape from the danger and have a chance to survive.

Only then did they realize that they had lost a lot of men and horses in this battle.

At least five Xuanxians did not come back alive, and the True Immortals and Sanxians under their command were even more miserable, with half of them disappearing.

The rest of them all had fear on their faces and panic in their hearts.

How could those who have been practicing in the fairy world for many years understand such a dangerous situation?

The special environment of Jinshen City was revealed to everyone for the first time.

The survivors gathered at the City Lord's Mansion, and several Xuanxian immediately came forward to hold them accountable:

"Tuoba Hong, what kind of magic weapon are you researching? This thing is simply pushing us into a grave..."

"That's right. Could it be that your Tuoba family wants to take this opportunity to kill all of us and then take this treasure for yourself?"

"..."

Such voices of accountability did not stop for a long time in the main hall of the city government.

Tuoba Hong's forehead was covered with sweat and he didn't know what to do.

An old man walked out from the depths of the City Lord's Mansion, raised his hands and pressed them down slightly. The noisy scene suddenly dissipated and became quiet.

"Everyone, please listen to what I have to say..."

The monks were horrified:
"Such a strong power, such a terrifying suppression force, this person..."

Hong Yun did the same, and sent a message to the tribesmen around her:

"Uncle Shichang, could this person be one of the two heroes of the Tuoba family?"

There are two people in the Tuoba family, one is the direct descendant of the Taiyi Jade Immortal Patriarch, and the other is his disciple.

The two of them are extremely gifted and after years of practice, they are now only one step away from reaching the Taiyi realm.

It is the concentration of power and influence within the entire Tuoba family.

"Probably. He is wearing gray clothes and has a black jade and white fan on his waist. He should be the disciple of Taiyi Patriarch, Tuoba Yucheng."

"Such a person has actually come to Jinhai City. Why hasn't any news been passed on to the clan?" Hong Yun was shocked.

Although the strength of these cultivators is at the same level, their combat power is actually much greater than his.

Although both are immortals, there are still differences between them.

Not to mention Hong Yun alone, even if she joined forces with Hong Shichang, they would definitely not be a match for this guy.

“I don’t know, maybe the Tuoba family is too secretive and no one in the clan has discovered it.

"But this person is dangerous. You and I need to remain dormant. If he discovers our identities, it will be difficult for us to leave this city..."

Seeing this, the two men felt a little depressed and couldn't help but lower their heads.

In the hall, there were many people who did not dare to look directly into Tuoba Yucheng's eyes. They were all intimidated by the latter's cultivation level and worried about getting into trouble.

“The treasure is hidden in this hall. My Tuoba family and all of you have worked together to crack it. The clues we found and even the exploration plan were finalized together.

"Why do you put all the blame on my Tuoba family when something bad happens? Don't you think it's inappropriate?"

These words made sense and convinced everyone.

However, the monks who were responsible for deciphering the treasure map were in a panic. If the problem did not lie with the Tuoba family, then how could it lie with them?

One of them touched the non-existent sweat on his forehead and stood up:

"There is no problem with the immortal path we have cracked, and there is no problem with the magic weapon we have made. The only problem is the Hongmeng treasure, which is beyond our reach with our cultivation level."

"Master Lin, what do you mean by this? Do you think that we are not strong enough and that we are a toad wanting to eat swan meat?"

"However, even if we lose so many people while exploring the mine, how can there not be problems?"

Seeing that the scene was about to get noisy again, Tuoba Yucheng raised his hand again to suppress it:

"Everyone, please be patient and listen to what Master Lin has to say."

The latter's gaze was focused on the center of the field, and Lin Xi took out his own life-saving magic weapon.

"I have been practicing the Law of the Void for tens of thousands of years. Although I am only at the Xuanxian level, I also understand the characteristics of instruments with the attribute of the void."

He raised his hand and let go of the magic sword in his hand, and it naturally floated in the hall.

There was nothing special about it, but when Lin Xi threw a fairy jade at the magic sword, the latter cut it, leaking the fairy energy inside.

The magic sword immediately absorbed it all, and then demonstrated its power.

An almost unnoticeable space crack emerged here, and a gap appeared in the tough fairyland space.

Everyone watching this scene showed surprise.

The destruction of space, which is difficult for ordinary people to do, was accomplished so easily in his hands.

“The location of Jinhai City is special, it is located in the gap between the immortal world and the void.

"If the story about the Hongmeng treasure is true, then this situation is caused by this treasure.

"I only have a Void Dao weapon in my hand, which can break through space without any scripture, not to mention the holy object on it, which is the possible existence of this Hongmeng treasure.

"As long as there is enough immortal energy, its power will radiate from time to time, shaking the void and causing such turmoil."

"But why didn't this accident happen earlier or later, but happened when we were deep in it?"

Lin Xi had no idea, but Tuoba Yucheng thought about it and said slowly:

“Perhaps, even though this Hongmeng treasure was lost and damaged, the spirit inside it has not been destroyed?”

……

At the headquarters of the Hongyun Gang, Wei Zhong saw Hong Yun and others returning, all of them were injured, and many of the Hong family disciples were missing limbs.

The number of people was not even, and Wei Zhong couldn't help but pull the last person to ask:
"Brother Ruochuan, what are you doing?"

One of the other person's sleeves was empty and his entire right arm was missing.

The latter smiled bitterly:
"I failed to find treasure and encountered disaster..."

Seeing the other party leave in a dejected manner, Wei Zhong couldn't help but wipe the sweat off his forehead.

I returned to my practice room and secretly rejoiced:

"Fortunately, I didn't get greedy. Even several great Xuanxians have fallen. Isn't my small body just a delivery boy?"

After just a few words, Wei Zhong already understood what had happened.

Recalling the words "the greatest treasure has a spirit", Wei Zhong could not help but turn his gaze back to his sea of ​​consciousness, staring at the "Record of Time" at the bottom of the sea of ​​consciousness.

"Your level has obviously surpassed that of holy objects like the Red Tassel Immortal Spear. Could it be that you still have some spirituality left?"
