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

Chapter 512: Final Departure, Purple Fairy City

"Really found it?"

Wei Zhong was full of surprise and doubt when he heard the news from Hong Yun.

“We just found the approximate range. The laws of that space are dense and quite stable, so it is very difficult to open a passage.

"The formation was destroyed by the void tide not long after it was set up, and the combined efforts of everyone to set up the formation also failed to produce any significant effect."

"Xuanxian doesn't have the ability to open the channel. Could it be that Taiyi is about to take action?"

Hong Yun nodded:
"That's right. It is said that Taiyi Patriarch of the Tuoba family is on his way."

Wei Zhong stroked his chin:

"Hong family?"

"My ancestor also had the same idea, but I have already communicated with the family. A group of clan members will come to Jinhai City to handle the follow-up matters. As for Fellow Daoist Wei, you can decide whether to stay or leave."

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhong's face flashed with joy:
"Thank you, leader!"

Hong Yun shook her head slightly:

"From now on, you are no longer the gang leader. Brother Wei, you should still address me as a fellow Taoist."

Wei Zhong retreated, but not long after, Fu Lingfan and others also received orders from Hong Yun.

The Red Cloud Gang will organize a group of people to leave the Jinhai City and let them decide whether to stay or leave.

After witnessing the turmoil in Jinhai City, Zhou Haoming and Fu Lingfan naturally did not want to stay here for long. As for Hua Shuiyao, she went against her usual behavior and wanted to stay in the city to see the Hongmeng treasure.

Several years later, a flying boat crossed the wall of Jinhai City and arrived in the city.

There is a "Hong" logo hanging on it, which does not conceal its origin at all.

"The Hong family is finally here!"

Tuoba Yucheng looked at the large spirit boat and murmured.

Some of his subordinates showed no sign of error:

"Uncle, my Tuoba family has been preparing in Jinhai City for so many years, why should we give up our position and give the Hong family the opportunity to reap the benefits?"

Tuoba Yucheng looked at other tribesmen, and they all had basically the same expression.

He shook his head slightly and explained:
“The commotion caused by the Hongmeng Supreme Treasure this time is too big. Although my Tuoba Immortal Clan is powerful, other forces are not much inferior.

"Currently, it is known that five Taiyi forces have shown a clear interest in this Hongmeng treasure and will arrive soon.

“With such a weak force, how can the ancestor withstand it alone?
"Bringing the Hong family in as well is just to let them help share the pressure."

After hearing this explanation, some of the tribesmen nodded slightly and finally understood the key.

But some Tuoba people are still a little confused:

"My Tuoba family has been searching for so many years, and this Jinhai City is after all my Tuoba family's territory.

"Those big powers came to fight for it as soon as they got the news. Such overbearing behavior is really despicable."

Tuoba Yucheng shook his head:

"With such strength, it's just a compromise. However, the family has already collected entry fees from other forces, so I guess they have received a lot of wealth.

"You have been operating in this Cinder City for a long time, and the clan will reward you later."

Hearing this, all the Tuoba people present were delighted and spoke out:

"Thank you, uncle!"

……

At the Hongyun Gang’s base, Wei Zhong and the other two said goodbye to Hua Shuiyao, and then, under the guidance of some Hong family disciples, they fled to the gate of Jinhai City.

“Finally left!”

It has been thousands of years since Wei Zhong ascended here, and he has never left this city to see the scenery outside.

Everything is just hearsay, and I don't know whether it is true or not.

Now I finally have a chance to leave, just when the unrest begins.

A spiritual boat was released by Hong Ruochuan. The boat was not big and looked like it could only accommodate dozens of people.

There was a flag flying at the bow of the boat. It was the smaller "Hong" flag that was on the big boat just now.

"Everyone, please get on board!"

There were not many people on this trip, only Wei Zhong and his three men and nine people from the Hong family.

Among them, Fu and Zhou are at the level of True Immortals, Hong Ruochuan and the other two are also True Immortals, plus three scattered immortals, there are a total of four ordinary Mahayana people.

Wei Zhong was the only one present who had reached the level of Xuanxian.

However, Hong Yun did a very good job of keeping the news of his promotion secret, and Wei Zhong had no intention of showing off about his promotion, so everyone present still believed that Wei Zhong had reached the realm of a true immortal.

"Three of you, this time we will go to Feiyun Fairy City, which is close to Jinhai City, and then take several teleportation arrays to reach the sphere of influence of our Hong family..."

Hong Yun had already made arrangements in advance and discussed it with Wei Zhong and the other two. Therefore, Wei Zhong and the others were very familiar with the process and had no objection to what Hong Ruochuan said.

The small boat drifted away from the city of ashes.

Not long after, Wei Zhong was able to see two parts of the sky.

On one side, the sky near Jinhai City was filled with chaos and darkness, while outside the dividing line, the sky was clear and white clouds floated in the blue sky. It was a scene that Wei Zhong had not seen for a long time.

Unfortunately, before Wei Zhong could fully appreciate the beautiful scenery, a spirit boat appeared and intercepted everyone.

Several strange monks with black scarves covering their faces and red robes covering their bodies jumped out of the boat.

He was dressed strangely, and that attire also had the ability to block spiritual awareness.

The most important thing is that all of them, without exception, have reached the level of True Immortals.

Seeing this attire, Wei Zhong understood that this was the robber who was lying in ambush outside Jinhai City to rob people.

Hong Ruochuan frowned slightly and stood from the cabin to the bow of the boat:
"Don't you know the flag of our Hong family?"

A murderous look appeared in one person's eyes:
"Hong family? I don't care whether you are from the Hong family, Zhou family, or Li family. If you pass this road, you have to leave money for passage.

"One hundred immortal jades per person, no one can be left out. If you can't take them out, use your limbs to resist."

"Brother Hua, the boss has told me..."

Seeing this man being so arrogant, others hurried to persuade him.

Wei Zhong and others frowned when they heard the sound, and they all left the cabin and stood at the bow of the boat.

When the other party saw that there were six True Immortals present, his attitude became slightly restrained.

Make way to allow Wei Zhong and others to leave.

"We must report this group of bandits to our clan tomorrow and eradicate them completely..."

After hearing Hong Ruochuan's complaints, Wei Zhong realized that this group of robbery cultivators also had a background. Although he was just an ordinary Xuanxian, he also made this group of people eat a lot of fat at this "boundary between morning and dusk".

The spirit boat was moving away, with the fairy patterns on its surface flashing and retracting at an extremely fast speed.

It didn't take long before Wei Zhong and others were brought to the first nearby immortal city, Feiyun Immortal City.

The prosperity of this city is far less than that of Jinhai City. Wei Zhong and others have the potential to be true immortals, and have almost become the top stars of this immortal city.

“This city is located in a remote border area, and it has no supporting resources of its own, so it only serves as a transfer station for the resources of Jinke City.

"Most of them are from chambers of commerce stationed here, governed by several great True Immortals..."

While introducing them, Hong Ruochuan took them to the teleportation array in the city.

The immortal-level teleportation array is different from the one Wei Zhong had seen in the spirit world. Because the immortal-level space is stable and it is extremely difficult to break through the air, the construction of this teleportation array is also quite difficult.

It often requires the cooperation of several true immortals who practice the laws of space, using the power of Tao seeds to engrave immortal patterns, and combining numerous immortal-level space treasures to build it.

Therefore, the price of each transmission is also quite expensive.

It is said that it takes more than a hundred fairy jades to reach the territory of the Hong family from Feiyun Fairy City. Although the cost of transmission is high, Wei Zhong can still afford it with his ability.

Fu Lingfan and Zhou Haoming had accumulated a lot of fairy jade in Jinhai City, so there was no problem.

However, Wei Zhong looked at the several Mahayana practitioners brought by Hong Ruochuan.

"Can these people afford the immortal jade?"

As if seeing Wei Zhong's doubts, Hong Ruochuan explained:

“My Hong family also participated in the construction and maintenance of the space teleportation array in this area, so the price for our Hong family members to use the teleportation array is much cheaper.

"In addition, there are corresponding subsidies for clan tasks."

As they were talking, Wei Zhong and the others had already entered the teleportation hall under the guidance of the city's True Immortal.

After paying the spirit stones, Wei Zhong discovered that each disciple of the Hong family had paid only half of the fairy jade that the three of them had paid.

"Bon voyage, everyone!"

As they stepped onto the teleportation array, Wei Zhong and his companions disappeared in a flash of light.

Feeling the tearing force of space, Wei Zhong did not feel a trace of panic in his heart.

To be promoted to the Xuanxian realm, especially to the Xuanxian realm through body refining, Wei Zhong's physical strength is far beyond that of those who practice spiritual cultivation.

Even if there is an accident during the transmission and he is sent into the void, Wei Zhong is confident that he can survive inside and choose the right time to return to the immortal realm.

Therefore, the fear of space teleportation in my heart disappeared completely.

It was pitch black all around when teleporting. Wei Zhong could only sense the presence of a few people nearby, but he couldn't see their expressions clearly.

When space is pulled, the extension of spiritual consciousness becomes inconvenient.

"boom!"

Wei Zhong's ears vibrated. It was the sound of an explosion that penetrated space and reached reality.

In just a few breaths, Wei Zhong and others had traveled tens of thousands of miles and arrived at another immortal city.

Seeing the light in the hall, Wei Zhong frowned slightly.

Looking back at the people nearby, he saw that they were all True Immortals and were fine. He shook his head and calmed down.

However, since the immortal had no Taoist seeds to protect him, he looked quite embarrassed.

As for Mahayana Hedao, who was not even at the immortal level, he had completely fainted.

However, everyone has a silver token hanging on his chest, engraved with the words "Dunkong", which is filled with the power of the law of space.

Wei Zhong guessed that this item should be a protective treasure during teleportation.

Without stopping, Wei Zhong and others paid the fairy jade again and started the next transmission.

After repeating this process seven or eight times, Wei Zhong and the others finally arrived at their destination, the "Ziyin Fairy City" located within the Hong family.

"Finally back!"

Hong Ruochuan and his companions showed delight on their faces, while Wei Zhong and his companions looked around.

The teleportation array here was not placed inside the hall, but was placed outdoors in the center of a large square.

Not far away, there were monks coming and going, and nearby there were flashes of spiritual light, and some people appeared out of thin air.

Wei Zhong scanned the area and found that there were dozens of teleportation arrays here, connecting countless fairyland cities.

"The three of you are new here, please follow me."

After bidding farewell to other members of the Hong family, Hong Ruochuan took Wei Zhong and a few others and either fled into the air or walked.

"This place is one of the core cities of my Hong family. There is a fairy vein running through the bottom of the city. There is also a spiritual mine. It once produced a large number of different kinds of fairy ores, but it has been on the verge of depletion for nearly a hundred years, and the mine has been completely sealed.

"However, with the advantage of this Immortal Yuan Meridian, it is also enough to support the Xuanxian practice, which is more than enough for the three of you."

After walking for a while, they finally arrived at a tall and exquisite tower.

After entering, Hong Ruochuan immediately looked for someone to express his purpose.

"No, how can we allow outsiders to enter the Julong Mansion in the city?"

"They are not outsiders. These three Taoist friends are the staff members under Sister Hong Yun," Hong Ruochuan explained, but the man shook his head and ignored him:
"You mean you are the young lady's subordinate? Do you have the young lady's golden Taoist emblem?"

"This, when the young lady ordered it, there was no such thing."

"Since there is no such thing, the identities of these three Taoist friends cannot be true. Brother Ruchuan, please leave.

"This Ziyin Immortal City is so big, and there are so many Immortal Palaces. Why do we have to enter this Julong Palace?"

As the two talked, their tempers grew more intense, and in the end, they even started to argue.

It attracted the attention of many monks in the tower.

Seeing this, Wei Zhong pulled Hong Ruochuan, and the latter calmed down a little.

After a while, he waved his sleeves and left with Wei Zhong and the other two.

"Brother Ruochuan, do we have to enter this Julong Mansion? Just take the three of us and find a random immortal mansion."

Hong Ruochuan shook his head:
“You three may not know that this Julong Mansion is where the descendants of various branches of my Hong family gather as their staff, and most of them are talented people from the fairyland of various fairy cities.

“All the treatments are incomparable to those of the independent cultivators in the outside world. Not only is the price of renting the cave residence cheap, but also I enjoy many benefits from my Hong family.

"More importantly, it is a symbol of identity, and it is a way to show the strength of each of the children of our Hong family and to compete for the right to speak for the family.

“The reason why the young lady asked me to bring you three here is for a reason.

"It's just strange to say this. I have brought several fellow Taoists into the Julong Mansion before, and I have never needed this Taoist pattern gold note. It's really strange..."

Hong Ruochuan shook his head in confusion. Wei Zhong and the other two looked at each other and could already sense something was amiss.

"Since we can't enter the Julong Mansion now, Brother Ruochuan might as well take us to find a fairy palace to rest for a while. It won't be too late when Miss Hong Yun returns."

Hong Ruochuan nodded:

"This is the only way now, but the young lady is tied up with the Hongmeng treasure, and I'm afraid she won't be able to come back in a short time.

"Three..."

While chatting, they came to the northwest corner of the city, where cultivators flew freely and there were large areas of immortal caves located there.

“This is a special area of ​​our Hong family that is open to the outside world. Most of the people here are independent cultivators, and occasionally there are disciples of the Hong family.

“The three of you can find a fairy palace on your own and settle down temporarily.

"Have you seen the spire in the southeast corner? There are often missions issued there. If you want to earn fairy jade, you can go there and take a look.

“If there is a special need, you can also post a reward in it.

"Also, you must be careful in this Ziyin Fairy City and do not easily provoke my Hong family disciples. Many of my Hong family elders are extremely protective of their own shortcomings.

"If it is really impossible to handle, you can send a message to me..."

After giving some advice, Hong Ruochuan left.

Wei Zhong and his two companions found a treasured immortal land, where four immortal palaces were located on the mountainside, facing the east, west, south and north.

After briefly dealing with the housing issue, Wei Zhong and the other two gathered together.

"It seems that the Hong family is not at peace either, with such serious internal strife."

Fu Lingfan has seen a lot of this kind of thing:

"Family power is mostly like this, it's unavoidable. What are your plans for the future? Do you two want to find a way to climb up the Hong family tree or find your own way?"

Zhou Haoming looked hesitant, while Wei Zhong spoke:

"Let's wait and see what the Hong family thinks. We have received favors from Hong Yun, and we must put an end to this cause and effect even if we leave."
