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

Chapter 527 Black Ball for Treasure
His spiritual sense passed by, but he did not see Kongguzi's figure. Wei Zhong leaned towards the bluestone gate, and after taking only two steps, he sensed something strange.

He waved his sleeves, and two black balls appeared in his palms.

It trembled from time to time, as if it was about to slip out of my hand.

Wei Zhong held it tightly in his palm and then put it into the storage space.

Looking up at the sky, the bell hanging high above the bluestone gate suddenly began to shake.

Although it shook silently, it still attracted the attention of a large number of monks.

"The Qingming Bell is moving again. Could it be that a fellow Taoist has taken the lotus treasure?"

"..."

Such discussions are heard everywhere.

Wei Zhong went forward to talk and inquire, and learned that whenever someone took lotus incense and other things from inside, the two big bells would react.

Wei Zhong suppressed the urge to take out the two black balls again and looked at them, instead he looked at the bell above with curiosity.

"That's strange. Why is there no hanging piece in this bell? No wonder it can't make any sound."

The monks beside him were no longer surprised:
"Is this Taoist friend's first visit to Qingming Fairyland?"

"Exactly!"

"Many years ago, there was no hanging piece in this bell. I don't know whether the object inside is in the shape of a piece, a hammer or something else.

“Some people once speculated that this pair of huge bells was some high-level magic weapon and wanted to take it down.

"But the latter is connected to the bluestone gate and cannot be separated, and it does not have much power to counter it. It only reacts when someone obtains the lotus treasure.

"So we all regard the latter as a special treasure."

As soon as the words fell, a loud noise was heard.

The monk who explained to Wei Zhong immediately flew up and headed towards the crowd.

"The lotus fragrance can protect the heart of Taoism. The one who pays the highest price will get it..."

Unfortunately, Wei Zhong was a step too slow, and the lotus fragrance had already been bought by someone else. Wei Zhong didn't even have the chance to know the auction price.

Wei Zhong grabbed the monk and pointed to the conspicuous bluestone gate:

"Brother Dao, has anyone ever opened this bluestone door?"

The latter looked strange:
"If this fellow Taoist is curious, why not try it yourself?"

Wei Zhong still didn't know what the latter's expression meant, but his usual caution kept him in check.

Unfortunately, people in the world are not like Wei Zhong. There are always a few people who think they are the chosen ones. They walk up to the bluestone gate and try to push it open.

However, as soon as the hand reached out to the stone door, it was like reaching into a ball of mud and sank into it.

The monk looked terrified and tried to pull his hand out, but the more he struggled, the deeper he sank.

Knowing that he could not break free, he asked for help from the surrounding monks.

But seeing this scene, no one stepped forward, instead these people all burst into laughter.

After a few breaths, the monk was completely sucked into the bluestone gate and disappeared without a trace.

Wei Zhong looked strange as he listened to the monk beside him explain:
"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. This person is not in trouble. Before long, he will be spit out from this cloud-like curtain like garbage."

Just as the man said, after about half a minute, Wei Zhong saw the figure of the monk.

But what was different from before was that his robes were torn and he looked extremely disheveled. Wherever he went he could hear the laughter of monks everywhere.

Wei Zhong did not despise him, but looked for an opportunity to approach and chat with him:
"Brother Dao, what is the scene inside the bluestone gate?"

The latter blushed:
"I haven't been in there, how would I know..."

Wei Zhong then realized that the latter did not pass through the bluestone gate, but was teleported into this law that was like clouds and mist.

"If you are curious, you may as well walk into the clouds. If you are lucky, you may be able to touch the Qingming Lotus Pond and pick a wisp of lotus fragrance from it."

After sending Wei Zhong away, the man leaped into the clouds and disappeared again.

Wei Zhong was not in a hurry, but began to explore along the clouds and mist at both ends of the bluestone gate.

His spiritual sense could not see the boundary yet, so he walked to the left to measure it. Not long after, a gate appeared in front of him.

Two large bells were hung on it, and monks were coming and going around it.

"Have I gone around in a circle? It seems that the area covered by this cloud is not that big."

Wei Zhong moved closer and looked into the clouds. After a long pause, he was able to occasionally catch a glimpse of the lotus pond.

After hesitating for a long time, Wei Zhong finally walked out of the cloud of laws in one go.

At this time, Kong Guzi finally arrived and wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead:

"Oh no, oh no, why did you throw it so far this time?"

After looking around, he did not see Wei Zhong, so he guessed that Wei Zhong had already entered the cloud.

At this time, Wei Zhong was in the sea of ​​clouds, staring at the mist floating around him in a daze.

"There are so many monks entering at the same time, but it's a pity that I can't see any of them. This cloud is really weird."

These words came out of the mouth, but Wei Zhong could not hear any sound.

It seems that in this world, sound has been completely banned.

Wei Zhong took a step forward slowly, his steps smooth and the clouds and mist around him did not pose any resistance to him.

Wei Zhong walked aimlessly like this and did not see the lotus pond for a long time.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Wei Zhong did not find any landmark reference locations, nor did he see anyone.

A buzzing sounded in Wei Zhong's ears, and an invisible force moved Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong was about to resist when the buzzing sound suddenly intensified and a tear immediately appeared on his robe.

Now, Wei Zhong finally understood how the man's clothes became torn.

"When the time limit comes, we must withdraw?"

Wei Zhong's body moved away, as if he was abandoned by the force, and he escaped from the sea of ​​clouds without gaining anything.

"interesting!"

Wei Zhong did not look angry, but instead showed a hint of smile.

"Brother Wei!"

Looking back, I saw Kongguzi escaping.

"Brother Wei, did you gain anything?"

Wei Zhong spread his hands:
"I would like to go in and explore again, fellow Daoist Konggu, please go ahead."

After leaving these words, Wei Zhong went deeper into it again.

This time Wei Zhong did not wander around aimlessly, but instead used his own laws.

The law of sound was integrated into the "Record of Time", and a thin field of law spread out around Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong tentatively looked around and indeed found some patterns in the flowing rain and fog.

After pondering, Wei Zhong began to walk in the direction of the measurement.

After walking for a long time, I still found nothing.

Wei Zhong changed direction and was thrown out again after moving halfway.

He didn't look lonely at all, and went back inside to take a look.

This cycle repeated itself over and over again, and Wei Zhong went in and out more than a hundred times.

There was no trace of anxiety on his face. Instead, he became more and more excited because he knew that he was getting closer and closer to his goal.

Kong Guzi, who saw this scene from the outside, nodded slowly:

"Brother Wei is indeed a patient man. He has been squeezed out for a full 168 times, but he has not shown any sign of impatience.

"It should be understood that if the cultivators have not entered this place more than a thousand times, it is often difficult to see the lotus pond."

Wei Zhong walked in the clouds, and the power of the laws around him was like swimming fish, retreating when it encountered them.

After walking more than a hundred steps, Wei Zhong finally saw the so-called Qingming Lotus Pond.

Different from ordinary lotus ponds, this pond looks like a bubble, giving people a sense of unreality.

The entire pond is filled with jade lotus leaves, and even the lotus flowers are emerald green, with only a hint of red between the lotus flowers.

Wei Zhong's face was filled with excitement. He stretched out his hand towards the lotus pond, but his hand passed through it as if it was touching a bubble.

"wrong!"

Wei Zhong waved his hand, and his own sound law domain immediately covered the lotus pond. The two overlapped, and the latter seemed to return from illusion to reality, gradually becoming substantial.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wei Zhong reached out and stretched out his hand to grab the Qingming Lotus.

The distance between the two continued to shorten, from three feet to less than half a palm's distance.

Then, when the distance was shortened to two fingers, Wei Zhong immediately felt endless resistance and stopped.

No matter how hard you stretch it, it's of no use.

Wei Zhong's face turned ruthless, and he was about to use force, using the Red Tassel Immortal Spear and the power of time.

Suddenly, the lotus petals opened slightly, and a green breath was exhaled.

Wei Zhong subconsciously grabbed it in his hand, reached back and reached out, the lotus fragrance filled his nose, and his soul was calm.

"Is this the lotus fragrance that is enough to keep your mind stable?"

Wei Zhong hurriedly put it away, then turned around and looked at the lotus pond again.

However, the latter became virtual again. This time Wei Zhong wanted to cover it with the field of law, but there was no improvement.

Wei Zhong became anxious and suddenly thought of the small black ball.

With a wave of his hand, two black balls immediately appeared in his hand.

At the same time, everything was silent, and the lotus pond that was about to disappear before our eyes stopped.

Wei Zhong could even sense that all the laws flowing around him had stopped.

Wei Zhong stepped forward again and stretched out his hand to grab the lotus. This time there was no obstacle. Wei Zhong simply reached out and broke the lotus from the stem.

Then he grabbed it in his hand.

At the same time, the two black balls in Wei Zhong's hands broke free from Wei Zhong's hands and disappeared into the sea of ​​clouds.

"This……"

Just as Wei Zhong was shocked, a mysterious voice rang in his ears:
"I have received two pearls and I present them to you as a gift of lotus. Please return, fellow Taoist..."

As soon as this sound fell, the lotus pond was about to disappear again.

Wei Zhong was a little anxious and said:
"You took my two beads and sent me away with just one lotus? You should at least give me another one."

This time, a strange sound came out of his mouth.

Unfortunately, there was no echo, but the power of the laws around moved, and the owner of the source of the sound seemed to be considering the matter.

In just half a breath, the clouds and mist rolled, as if rejecting Wei Zhong's request.

"Alas, alas, if the lotus flower doesn't work, at least give me a lotus leaf."

As soon as he finished speaking, a jade lotus leaf suddenly flew out from the lotus pond and fell into Wei Zhong's palm.

Having obtained the two items, Wei Zhong's face lit up with joy and he put them away readily.

Then he clasped his fists:

"Thank you, senior!"

The clouds and mist rolled, and the familiar thrust came again, and Wei Zhong was quickly pushed out of this world.

As soon as Wei Zhong appeared in the outside world, he saw the bell above his head shaking continuously.

This is a sign of picking the lotus treasure.

"Strange, why is there still nothing under this bell?"

The bell rang silently, but the monks' noise arose.

Just now, more than one person picked lotus treasures in the clouds.

Although they are all of the inferior lotus fragrance without exception, this thing is still rare. Once it appears, it will attract many people to buy it.

Kongguzi also went to join in the fun, but returned disappointed.

"Brother Wei, did you gain anything?"

Wei Zhong spread his hands as usual:
"Unfortunately, I am still one step short."

Kongguzi sighed when he saw this.

"Since it doesn't work, let's just leave now."

Hearing that Wei Zhong was about to leave, he saw that the latter had a calm expression.

"This person was forced into a corner by the evil spirit, could it be that..."

"Okay, since this lotus treasure cannot be taken, I will discuss with other Taoist friends and find another way for you to avoid the disaster."

The two of them flew away and landed among the mountains and forests.

On the way, Kong Guzi asked impatiently:

"Did you gain anything, fellow Daoist?"

Wei Zhong smiled:
"Lucky, I picked a wisp of lotus fragrance."

"Not bad, not bad. Fellow Daoist is truly a person blessed by good fortune. You have gained something on your first visit to the Qingming Secret Realm..."

After listening to Kongguzi's chatter, Wei Zhong realized that ninety-nine percent of the people who came here returned empty-handed.

People like Wei Zhong are rare.

"You were right to be cautious just now, fellow Daoist. If you had told me about your own gains, I'm afraid a large group of people would have surrounded you, and you wouldn't have been able to leave unless you took out the lotus fragrance.

"Even if we get robbed and killed along the way, who knows."

"Robbery and murder?"

Wei Zhongruo was surprised and couldn't help but look up at the invisible net of laws above his head.

"Does anyone dare to rob and kill in a place like this?"

"Why not? There are always some guys with ulterior motives who study the environment here and even use this fairyland environment to ambush others."

As soon as the words fell, the two men's forward momentum stopped, and with a leap, they both bounced back more than ten feet.

The space in front of him collapsed, and the power of law shattered here.

If the two of them had continued to move forward, their own bodies would have been swept away.

Wei Zhong moved his eyes upwards and saw that the shattered space was connected to the web of laws above, and his heart sank.

Two people walked out of the forest, one of them held a green Ruyi in his hand, and the other hid his hands in his sleeves, with a cold light flashing inside.

"What do you two mean by this?"

Kongguzi looked dangerous, with a hint of anger on his face.

The ambush that was just discussed actually happened to him.

It made him both shocked and angry.

The two monks on the opposite side looked at each other and smiled:
"My two Taoist friends, there is no need to hide anything. Bring out the lotus fragrance and my two sisters will let you go."

'Were you heard?'

Wei Zhong found the jade ruyi in the latter's arms and sensed a familiar aura from it:
'Laws concerning sound?'

"You are dreaming. How can I be a soft persimmon that you can easily manipulate?"

He raised his arms and fluttered his sleeves, releasing Kongguzi's mysterious aura of pressure.

He is different from ordinary immortals, and he exudes a sense of heaviness from the inside out.

To others, it is as if they are seeing a huge mountain or a whole world.

"Earth Immortal?"

The two robbers were also stunned, their faces looking a little serious.

"Sister Hu, I'll leave this old man to you. I'll deal with the other one..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the person holding the jade ruyi jumped up.

His toes bounced up, more than four feet off the ground, and a huge net of laws suddenly appeared above his head.

However, the jade ruyi lacked some of its emerald green light, causing the net of laws to suddenly sink, making room for it.

It was as if all the laws of the world were making way for it.

Wei Zhong looked surprised. The aura in the jade ruyi became more and more familiar.

He stretched out his hand, and the lotus leaf he had just picked appeared in his sleeve. The similarity between the two scents was as high as 90%.
