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

Chapter 534: Facing the Tribulation, the Heart of Taoism Collapses

Splitting one's own soul into two is the last line of defense.

Either leaving behind a portion of the soul, waiting for the disaster to pass and regaining control of the body, or awakening the original soul when it is in danger.

These are all last resorts when one is forced to do so.

If Wei Zhong had not reached this point, there would be no need to use it.

The sword light split, and Wei Zhong couldn't help but frown, with a look of pain on his face.

A soul that was much smaller than Wei Zhong's original body escaped from his body.

He turned around and looked at Wei Zhong's physical body, then took the initiative to throw himself into the soul-hosting fairy root.

Wei Zhong sensed the existence of his split soul, and it was like soaking in a pool of cool water. It felt cool and his mind and soul were calm, as if all distracting thoughts had been eliminated.

The final means was ready. Wei Zhong looked at the Taoist weapons around him, including a drum, a sword, a knife, and a halberd...

There are eight Taoist weapons in total, which is Lingze’s entire collection.

Normally, three Taoist weapons are enough for a Xuanxian to survive the tribulation, but Wei Zhong used eight of them, which shows that he took it very seriously.

The rest of the immortal treasures were also placed beside him, ready to be dealt with at any time.

Just as Wei Zhong was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed and regulating his breathing, he suddenly felt the calamity energy around him tremble.

And then they all merged into his body.

Seeing the calamity energy surging in his body like a river, Wei Zhong was stunned for no reason, as if he had realized something.

However, the disaster that followed interrupted Wei Zhong's state.

Layers of dark clouds appeared in the sky, and a nine-colored divine thunder struck down from the sky.

"So the first disaster to come was the thunderstorm among the three disasters?"

The thunder struck, but Wei Zhong was not panicked at all.

He raised his hand and purple-gold lightning suddenly emerged in his hand. He threw it casually, and the latter immediately soared into the air to meet the thunder in the sky.

The two lightning bolts collided and immediately entangled with each other, colliding and annihilating each other, with only a few falling on Wei Zhong's body.

The thunder in the sky continued to disappear under the collision of the purple-gold thunder, and finally turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated in the sky.

Wei Zhong was particularly surprised at how easy it was to survive the tribulation. He hadn't even used the means of surviving the tribulation that he bought from Tianxing Pavilion.

As soon as this thought came into my mind, an unknown fire ignited in my heart.

It spreads from the heart to the entire internal organs, and then to the entire body.

Correspondingly, Wei Zhong also felt a burning sensation on his body.

Wei Zhong was very familiar with this feeling.

The disaster of natural fire is both fire and the sun; it is the most powerful and yang disaster.

Wei Zhong caught a glimpse of the treasure in front of him, opened his mouth and sucked it, and the treasure immediately sank into his mouth.

This is the Xuanyin cold marrow, which is used to balance the yang fire in the body.

Wei Zhong simultaneously mobilized the water law, ice law, and Yin law in his body...

The power of various laws works together to eliminate the yang fire in the body.

After the fire from heaven passes, it becomes the wind from heaven.

The Nine Heavens Strong Wind appeared out of thin air on the body, corroding the bones and destroying the soul.

Wei Zhong swallowed a pill of elixir to calm his body and soul.

After the three disasters, the nine difficulties will come.

The karmic fire in his body suddenly arose, which was the condensation of the karma that Wei Zhong had cultivated for tens of thousands of years.

Fortunately, although Wei Zhong had killed many lives on his path to immortality, he had never killed indiscriminately, so the intensity of the karma fire was not enough to make Wei Zhong frown.

Pick up a golden lotus, and the power of merit spreading from it will immediately eliminate the karma.

The inner demon suddenly emerged, and the "Record of Time" was activated by Wei Zhong to suppress his soul.

Everything he saw before his eyes was an illusion, passing through Wei Zhong's eyes like a movie without causing any ripples.

When the inner demons retreat, there is nirvana.

With darkness in his eyes and his five senses suddenly lost, Wei Zhong could not perceive his own physical existence, nor could he sense the seeds of the laws and Tao in his body.

Just when I was confused, a ray of fire suddenly ignited before my eyes.

When the golden lotus fades away, it becomes the soul fire. The soul fire guides us like a bright lamp burning in the darkness.

Wei Zhong sat cross-legged beside the flame, waiting for the extinction to pass.

Bifeng, Bingjie, Guixu...

There were nine disasters in total, all of which were resolved one by one by the means Wei Zhong had prepared in advance.

It didn't cause many ripples. It came and went without leaving any trace.

Even Wei Zhong's immortal energy was not consumed too much by it.

"Fortunately, it's not too troublesome. After all, it's a disaster that only True Immortals will face."

Wei Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, but saw that his own calamity energy was surging and had not disappeared.

A sense of enlightenment rose in my heart: "It is indeed the two disasters that have arrived at the same time!"

True immortals overcome the three disasters and nine difficulties, while mysterious immortals overcome the five declines of celestial beings.

Wei Zhong advanced too quickly. Before the three disasters and nine calamities that occurred once every ten thousand years came, he was promoted to the Xuanxian level.

These disasters pile up and come together.

Wei Zhong scanned with his spiritual sense and saw that the endless immortal energy within the body seemed to have entered a dry season and dissipated in large quantities.

One of the five signs of decline for celestial beings, exhaustion of magical powers.

From 100% of the mana, it was reduced to 80%, 70%, 30%...

Wei Zhong was not surprised at all. He opened his eyes and stretched out his hand towards Mulan Dou.

The latter sank into his palm, but this small action consumed the last bit of immortal energy in Wei Zhong's body.

"Such consumption..."

Wei Zhong was shocked and quickly reached into Mulan's pocket.

The immortal energy stored in it seemed to have found an outlet immediately and surged into Wei Zhong's body.

This immortal energy contains the power of many laws, including thunder, yin and yang, and dozens of other laws, which are extremely compatible with Wei Zhong's body.

There is no need to refine it at all, just use it whenever you want.

Once it entered Wei Zhong's body, it immediately nourished the dried-up meridians and spread throughout his body to avoid further consequences of the exhaustion of his magic power.

It is unknown how long it will take to call upon the immortal energy in this way.

Wei Zhong suddenly felt that the calamity had dissipated, but then another calamity arose again.

Looking inward at his body, he saw that dark red spots seemed to appear in the muscles of his immortal physique, which had always been powerful.

The second of the five signs of decay of celestial beings is the decay of the physical body.

As the muscles moved, there was a crackling sound, as if the flesh was "rusting".

However, in an instant, these spots expanded rapidly and spread to all parts of Wei Zhong's body.

Wei Zhong mobilized the power of the thunder law in his body, and the silver light flashed suddenly, rushing towards those dark red spots.

The power of thunder and lightning powerfully repelled and destroyed the corrupt features of this body in an instant.

But the latter made a comeback in a moment.

Wei Zhong frowned as he watched the speed at which the immortal energy in his body was being consumed. Finally, he sighed and activated the "Weapon Refining Technique".

When he opened his eyes, he saw mysterious fairy patterns appearing on the fairy drum.

Dark red spots appeared out of thin air on the surface of the fairy drum.

It has served as a carrier connected to Wei Zhong, slowing down the decay of Wei Zhong's body.

At the same time, the decay rate in Wei Zhong's body slowed down, allowing him to use his own laws to cleanse the dark red mottled marks.

It was unknown how long this state lasted, but the first immortal drum was completely covered by the "red rust". All the immortal patterns on its surface were annihilated, and even the power of the laws inside could not escape.

The entire immortal drum had completely turned into rotten bone armor. As the immortal energy in the Lingmao Ding stirred, it turned into ashes with a bang.

The first Taoist weapon disappeared, followed by the second one.

Dark red rust appeared on the immortal sword, and its emerald green color was stained with red spots...

The second immortal sword was also destroyed in this disaster, followed by the third, the fourth...

Wei Zhong watched the weapons in front of him disappear without a trace of emotion in his eyes.

As long as I can survive this disaster, what does a mere Taoist weapon matter?
Wei Zhong's eyes were calm. As time passed, seven of the eight Taoist weapons in front of him were gone, and even the last one was more than half decayed.

Wei Zhongcai then felt that the decay of his body had disappeared.

After this decline, the third decline comes, which is the decline of the soul.

Wei Zhong suddenly felt confused and restless.

The "Treasure Record of Time" was influenced by this and suppressed the soul again.

Wei Zhong immediately swallowed the Heart Purifying Immortal Pill. Although this pill was used to deal with the inner demon among the nine difficulties, it still had some effect on the sluggishness of the soul.

With the help of this pill, Wei Zhong suddenly felt his condition improved.

However, this slight change quickly disappeared as the medicinal power was consumed.

Silver light fell from the "Record of Time", and Wei Zhong felt his soul stirring, constantly repeating between completeness and dispersion.

All the experiences of cultivation in this life flashed through his mind.

Confusion and pain alternately emerge.

How can I express the pain of the passing of time?
Wei Zhong didn't know how long this state lasted. He only knew that when his mind was fully restored, most of his sea of ​​consciousness had dried up. The spiritual power that had been accumulated for a long time had been mostly consumed in this disaster.

He was about to wipe his hand towards his stiff cheek, but suddenly he inserted his fingers into his eye sockets.

Half of his eyeball was shattered, and Wei Zhong knew that the fourth decline had arrived.

The decline of luck.

This misfortune will take away Wei Zhong's own luck and fortune, which will manifest itself in extreme bad luck.

This accidental poking of one's own eye was considered extremely minor.

He withdrew his hand, and immortal energy flowed in his eyeballs, and his injuries recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Just as he was about to put his hand down, his palm moved towards the only half-remaining Taoist weapon.

"Wow!"

The palm of his hand was cut unexpectedly and a bloody wound appeared, and blood gushed out like a fountain, as if the aorta had been cut.

A dignified body-refining immortal was actually injured by a Taoist weapon that no one was activating. Wei Zhong's strong body seemed to have lost its function.

Immediately afterwards, accidents occurred frequently. Wei Zhong wanted to use his internal energy to plug the wounds, but it caused the immortal energy in his body to flow backwards, causing a conflict.

The meridians in Wei Zhong's body were broken, and he trembled and almost fell down.

"Fortunately, I survived this disaster in Lingmao Ding. If I were in the outside world, I don't know what kind of trouble I would have gotten into."

Such as making a strong enemy out of nowhere and being forced to fight with others when you are not in good condition.

Wei Zhong had heard about a series of events involving the collapse of fortune.

Wei Zhong seemed extremely unlucky, but in fact most of the accidents did not threaten his life.

It is no exaggeration to say that immortals have tenacious vitality.

Such a minor disaster could not kill Wei Zhong.

While responding hastily, Da Jin was in the Lingmao Ding, watching everything. He looked up at the sky and saw a thin film at the mouth of the Lingmao Ding separating the sky and the earth.

This is not the isolation film created by the power of Lingze's incense.

But it comes from the true law of luck of Dajin, the true spirit of luck.

Such shielding effect far exceeds the incense of thousands of people.

However, despite this effect, Wei Zhong was still very unlucky, which showed how serious the decline in luck he was facing was.

I don’t know how long Wei Zhong spent in these unfortunate experiences, but his body was covered with wounds both inside and outside.

The robe on his body was torn, blood was flowing, his internal muscles were pulled, his meridians were broken, and even his soul in the sea of ​​consciousness was unable to float above the ocean of soul.

The damage caused to Wei Zhong by the collapse of luck was the most obvious among all the disasters.

Fortunately, Wei Zhong's vitality is intact, and he has achieved the status of a Xuanxian through body refining, so the above experiences are still within his tolerable range.

Feeling that no more bad things were happening, Wei Zhong knew that this bad luck was over.

With a wave of his hand, the soul in the immortal soul root merged into his body and reunited with the original spirit in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Wei Zhong suddenly felt his spirit recovering and began to heal his physical injuries.

However, as soon as this thought arose, Wei Zhong felt a sense of crisis and his heart trembled.

Wei Zhong no longer cared about his injury and hurriedly picked up the jade bottle containing the Qingming Lotus Fragrance.

He tilted his head back and swallowed both bottles.

Two lotus fragrances flowed along Wei Zhong's physical body, passed through his Dharma body, and went straight into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Floating along the sea of ​​consciousness, he found Wei Zhong's true spirit and sank into his mouth and nose.

In an instant, Wei Zhong's soul trembled suddenly, and all his previous cultivation experiences emerged in his mind.

It is so clear that it seems as if the whole life is evolving again.

Various regrets frequently emerged along the way, but Wei Zhong could only watch it all as a bystander.

From the betrayal of a cheap disciple, the ambush and murder of a good friend's son, to the conflict with the Aoki clan...

All these experiences together constitute Wei Zhong’s beliefs.

He must practice well and strengthen himself. One day, he will no longer have to be inferior to others and endure the pain of being weak.

However, throughout the practice, his strength has increased a lot, but there are always new mountains pressing down on his head.

'The immortal road is endless, how can I be invincible in this world? Even if I am invincible in the world, I still have to worry about enemies coming from the sky. Those shameless old guys really don't give me a peaceful day.

'There is also the belief I have in immortality. Now that I have cultivated myself, I have achieved immortality, but immortality is far from enough.

'Others harm me, disasters hinder me, and there is also the Time Palace, which sees that I am practicing the law of time and wants to strike me with lightning.

"This is too much, too much, really too much!"

An unknown fire of karma rose in Wei Zhong's heart, and he wanted to kill all his enemies.

But in a flash, the scene before his eyes changed, revealing the future.

Wei Zhong stood on the top of the mountain, with terrifying aura all around him. He was no longer a Xuanxian, but a Daluo who possessed the title of a true Immortal.

He is one of the most powerful people in the world.

However, when he was in high spirits, the clouds in the sky changed and a long river of time appeared, with only a finger visible in it.

He pointed at Wei Zhong, and a long river immediately fell, washing Wei Zhong's body and soul.

The cultivation and power of laws that he was proud of were instantly annihilated in the long river.

It was as if time had gone back and Wei Zhong returned to the state of a young Qi-refining cultivator.

The scene of the decay of the body and the approach of death reappears.

He looked up at the sky, waved his old arms, and his robes fluttered:

"After all the cultivation, it's all in vain. What's the point of cultivating immortals?"

Wei Zhong's lifelong belief collapsed like a landslide.

If this continues, his mind and spirit will become scattered and he will completely become a walking corpse.

However, at this moment, two illusory lotus flowers appeared in front of Wei Zhong.

As I grasped this object in my hand, two lines of tears instantly flowed from the corners of my eyes.
