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

Chapter 551: Immortal Realm Array
"Are you Fellow Daoist Wei Zhong?"

"That's right. I wonder who you are?"

Wei Zhong looked at the old monk who suddenly appeared outside the cave, with a hint of doubt on his face.

The old monk twirled his white beard:

“My name is Zhou Li… Of course, my name is not important. You just need to know that I come from the Thunder Monarch Pavilion of the Immortal Palace.

"I came here to inform my friends that I am going to handle the external affairs of the Immortal Palace..."

"Foreign Affairs?"

After a while, Zhou Li left. Wei Zhong was holding a bamboo stick in his hand, with an embarrassed look on his face.

"As expected, joining a powerful force brings about these kinds of troubles."

Although the Thunder Immortal Palace is powerful, it cannot raise so many disciples for nothing.

The Immortal Palace can make profits from Grade C disciples by relying on the payment of immortal jades, but it has invested a lot in Grade B disciples, so naturally it is impossible to recover the cost by relying on a small amount of immortal jades.

These people have to be sent to serve the Immortal Palace and carry out important tasks to earn profits.

Because Wei Zhong missed the deadline, this mission was actively sent by the Immortal Palace and Wei Zhong had no power to choose.

Wei Zhong was holding a piece of bamboo, on which there was an introduction to this mission.

"The border of the fairyland, Dao pattern stone carvings?"

The description is quite rough, with only a location and some tasks described. If you want to know the details, you have to go to the specific location and ask your fellow immortals in the Immortal Palace.

Wei Zhong pinched the bamboo piece into his hand, and it burst out with thunder, as if it was peeled off from some special spiritual plant.

There is some resonance between this and the "Supreme Thunder Dao" practiced by Wei Zhong.

Without further ado, Wei Zhong packed up his things in the cave and left the Immortal Sect.

Take the immortal sect’s teleportation array to leave the core area of ​​Thunder Immortal Palace.

Then he stepped on the Taixu Sky Shuttle and fled to the border of the Thunder Fairyland.

With the help of the shuttle's power, Wei Zhong's figure kept alternating between the void and reality.

The space was torn apart, Wei Zhong escaped into it, and the former healed rapidly.

A million miles away, Wei Zhong reappeared.

This went on for a few days, and Wei Zhong arrived at the mission location.

Wei Zhong looked around and murmured:
"If I remember correctly, this place is the southeast corner of the Thunder Fairyland. Is this where the Eight Extremes Thunder Alliance is located?"

The Baji Thunder Alliance is an alliance of interests formed by the eight major immortal sects.

Among the eight major sects, each has a Taiyi Jade Immortal, who has countless Xuan Immortals under his command.

The various sects share their cultivation resources and seek common development.

The southeast corner of the Thunder Fairyland is adjacent to the Five Elements Fairyland and the Tianxuan Fairyland, and is considered to be a very rich and prosperous area.

Wei Zhong walked for hundreds of miles and entered the sphere of influence of the Baji Lei League.

The mysterious light of the formation on the horizon lit up, and a cultivator turned into a light and approached:
"Fellow Taoist, stop!"

Wei Zhong did not force his way in, but stood still in the air. When the cultivator opposite him appeared, he revealed his identity as a disciple of Thunder Immortal Palace.

The latter saw the token in Wei Zhong's hand, and took another look at the Taoist robe Wei Zhong was wearing. He was immediately surprised and clasped his fists:
"So you are fellow Taoist from the Immortal Palace. I am Tan Yanang from the Qingxiao Sword Sect. I wonder what brings you here this time?"

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Tan!"

Wei Zhong returned the gift first, then replied:

"I came here to discuss matters concerning the Immortal Palace. I wonder if Senior Brother Ding and Senior Brother You from my palace are here?"

"Ding, You? Are you asking about fellow Daoist Ding Qingfeng and fellow Daoist You Rudong?"

"Exactly."

"Friend Wei, please follow me!"

After saying that, the other party turned around and led the way. Wei Zhong saw the light of the formation in the sky dissipate, so he followed behind him.

The two men flew in the air, and Tan Yan'ang kept reminding Wei Zhong to be careful of the magic array around them.

Wei Zhong opened his eyes and immediately saw the dense array of spiritual lights within a radius of thousands of miles.

"Your clan is so generous that they are willing to set up such a large-scale offensive and defensive formation."

Tan Yanang smiled when he heard this:
"I am sorry to make you laugh at me, Brother Wei, because I am not as powerful as the Immortal Palace. The Eight Extremes Thunder Alliance is located in a special area, so it is inevitable that there will be harassment from villains, so the eight sects have joined forces.

"And this formation was built by the eight major sects working together."

Wei Zhong nodded in agreement.

The Baji Leimeng is located at the intersection of the three major fairy realms, and cultivators travel frequently here and there.

Among them are caravans, as well as those who have offended the masters in their native fairyland and could no longer survive and have fled here.

The two of them talked to each other as they went deeper into the Qingxiao Sword Sect and gradually approached the border of the Thunder Immortal Realm.

In a vast mountain forest, Wei Zhong saw many cultivators coming and going.

When Tan Yangang led Wei Zhong to the front, Wei Zhong immediately saw two monks surrounding the stone tablet in front of them, talking about something.

Wei Zhong and the other man stopped and did not disturb them.

After the two finished talking, Tan Yanang stepped forward:
"My two Daoists, Daoist Wei Zhong from Thunder Celestial Palace is looking for you two."

The two turned around and looked at Wei Zhong.

The latter bowed and saluted:
"Senior Brother Ding, Senior Brother You!"

A hint of displeasure flashed across Ding Qingfeng's eyes.

You Rudong was as usual, smiling, and beckoned Wei Zhong to come forward.

Seeing that the three brothers from the Immortal Palace wanted to talk, Tan Yanang tactfully left.

"It turned out to be Junior Brother Wei!"

Wei Zhong was not very famous in the Thunder Palace, but no one expected that this person could actually recognize Wei Zhong himself.

Wei Zhong returned the greeting while sizing up the two people in front of him.

Wei Zhong was very familiar with the identities of both of them.

Glancing at Ding Qingfeng's impatient expression, Wei Zhong couldn't help shaking his head in his heart.

'I must have offended this person by refusing to recruit him last time.'

This Ding Qingfeng is Guo Weicheng's disciple. Last time, he tried to recruit Wei Zhong on behalf of his master but was rejected by Wei Zhong.

Although there was no revenge or pursuit afterwards, it was enough to make him look a little unhappy now.

As for the person next to him, You Rudong, he was a disciple of Si Konghan, the chief auctioneer in the last Black Earth Immortal City auction.

"My two senior brothers, I wonder why the palace sent me here?"

You Rudong just smiled:

"No hurry, no hurry. Junior Brother Wei has arrived quite early. There are still a few fellow disciples who have not arrived yet. It won't be too late to talk after everyone has arrived.

"Brother Wei, why don't you take a look at this stone tablet? Maybe you can tell what it means from the inscription on it?"

Wei Zhong followed the other party's instructions and saw a black stone tablet.

There were grayish-white inscriptions engraved on the stone tablet, but the inscriptions looked like ghostly scribbles, without any regular pattern at all, and were even worse than children's scribbles.

Wei Zhongchu took a quick look but gained nothing.

But after activating the Ten Thousand Tribulations Thunder Pupil, he suddenly exclaimed:
"This stone tablet?"

The two of them turned sideways and saw the change in Wei Zhong's eyes and were a little surprised.

You Rudong gently pinched his beard:
“I didn’t expect that Junior Brother Wei was actually practicing the “Supreme Thunder Dao” in the palace.

“As far as I know, fellow Daoist has been a B-level disciple for less than 5,000 years? Yet you have cultivated the Ten Thousand Tribulations Thunder Pupil so quickly.” Ding Qingfeng on the side also had a look of surprise in his eyes.

Some people doubt whether they have made a mistake in their judgment.

Wei Zhong smiled and nodded:

"Senior Brother You has a keen eye."

However, Wei Zhong had no intention of chatting more about his own martial arts. Instead, the lightning in his pupils became even stronger, and his eyes were filled with electricity, like two beams of light merging into the black stone tablet.

Stimulated by this, the stone tablet suddenly trembled, and the nearby mountains and forests also shook.

The disciples of the Baji Leimeng on the periphery looked towards the central area in confusion, and then returned to normal under the orders of the elders of each sect.

Seeing this scene, You Rudong could no longer suppress his amazement and clapped his hands repeatedly:
"Good thunder magic, good thunder magic. Junior Brother Wei's thunder magic is as profound as that of our direct disciples."

Ding Qingfeng was even more amazed, and before he knew it, his impatience had completely faded away.

The lightning in Wei Zhong's eyes faded away, and he murmured:

“This stone tablet is very strange. The inscription on the tablet looks like ghostly scribbles, but in fact it is the lightning fairy pattern exposed on the outside.

"It forms a three-dimensional whole with the immortal patterns inside the Liuyu Stone Stele. The inscriptions revealed on the outside are just the tip of the iceberg."

Ding Qingfeng applauded:
"Junior Brother Wei has good eyesight!"

The other party's praise for the behavior just confirmed what Wei Zhong said.

"Junior brother's thunder method is indeed profound. Those Xuanxian from the Eight Extremes Thunder Alliance who came here just now were unable to detect any clues.

"Even though Fellow Daoist Ding and I were here, it took us quite a while to understand the mystery of this stele. Junior Brother Wei is really..."

Wei Zhong laughed twice:

“I am only taking advantage of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Thunder Eye. If you two brothers practice the same technique as me, you will naturally see more than I do…”

Wei Zhong's humble attitude further attracted the two of them to favor him.

After a few flattering words, Wei Zhong asked about the origin of the black stone tablet.

The two spoke hesitantly, and it was unclear whether they didn't want to say more or didn't know much.

"As for the origin of this stele, we have only heard of it," You Rudong looked up to the east, where he could see a sea of ​​clouds between the mountains and forests.

In fact, the other party's sight had already passed through the border of the sea of ​​clouds and reached a group of mountains further out.

"Brother Wei, do you know the full name of the mountain range below us and outside?"

Wei Zhong thought for a moment and recalled the knowledge he had collected about the geographical location of the Immortal Realm:
"If I remember correctly, this place should be the Wuyin Mountain Range?"

"That's right, but do you know the origin of this name?"

Wei Zhong shook his head blankly. At this time, Ding Qingfeng explained:
"This Wuyin is a Taoist name."

Wei Zhong was shocked:
"This... Could it be that this senior named Wu Yin is related to this stone tablet?"

“That’s right. Wu Yin was born in the Wu Clan and was originally a disciple of my Immortal Palace. He suddenly defected during his training and was killed by my senior and died here.

"This stone tablet was left by the other party."

"Why would you want to defect when you are living well in the Immortal Palace?" Wei Zhong was puzzled and full of confusion.

“I don’t know. We heard this news from others, and it happened many years ago.

"I'm afraid only the old senior in the sect knows the truth."

Wei Zhong took a deep breath. He naturally understood who the "old senior" referred to.

Isn’t it Feng Qingming, the Xuanting Daluo from Xuanting Academy?

"Several seniors in the Immortal Palace have reached a resolution to use the stone tablet in the Wuyin Mountains and several thunder treasures in other border areas to build a huge magic formation that spans the entire Immortal Realm."

Wei Zhong was even more shocked at this time:

"Spanning the entire Thunder Fairyland, what kind of feat is this?"

The fairyland is so vast that an immortal like Wei Zhong does not rely on any external objects and can only fly with his own strength. It would take him at least more than a year to fly non-stop.

Wei Zhong had never seen such a vast formation, let alone heard of it.

What kind of confidence does the Thunder Palace have to try to set up such a magic array?
At this time, Wei Zhong recalled the incident that happened at Zhenyue Gate.

"Could it be that Xie Yuanping and the others went to the border of the Immortal Realm for this matter? They are indeed the direct disciples of the Immortal Palace."

The so-called direct descendants are the disciples of Taiyi in the Immortal Palace. Their noble status cannot be compared with that of ordinary Xuanxian like Wei Zhong.

"Then the Immortal Palace sent us here, could it be that it was to construct this magic array that spans the entire Immortal Realm?"

Ding and You nodded and shook their heads after hearing this:

"We Xuanxians naturally don't have this ability. We were summoned here just to help. When it comes to the critical moment, it is still the elders of the Immortal Palace who will take action."

Wei Zhong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

No matter how you look at it, this fairyland magic formation is not something that a small Kanami like him can set up.

"Okay, Junior Brother Wei, take a few days' rest. When the other fellow disciples come, we will start again."

Wei Zhong retreated, and under the guidance of the Qingxiao Sword Sect disciples, he found a treasured place for cultivation and waited.

More than half a year passed, and finally all the people were gathered together.

There were nine Xuanxian present, including Wei Zhong.

As for Taiyi mentioned by Ding and You, he did not show up.

Wei Zhong looked around in the crowd and found that most of these colleagues were strangers to him.

Only Jiang Qianmeng, as Jie Yuanping's junior sister, was slightly familiar to Wei Zhong.

After asking, I learned that the other party was carrying out a mission for the Fairy Palace nearby, and he came here only after receiving the transfer order.

"Now that we have gathered all the men and horses, please follow us around the mountain."

The nine people flew, circling the Wuyin Mountains from south to north, and then turned back.

While circling the mountain, Wei Zhong saw several strange black stone tablets.

After careful counting, there are actually ten of them, distributed in the north and south of the Wuyin Mountains, with two layers, inner and outer.

"The Asgard sent us here for no other reason than to fill in this square formation."

Ding Qingfeng shook his sleeves, and a battle formation diagram as wide as an ordinary man's arm floated in his hand.

The battle formation diagram was rolled up, allowing only a few people to see a corner of it.

The array paper Wei Zhong was looking at was waxy yellow, and was covered with various lightning flashes. When he used his Wanjie Thunder Pupil to look at it, he realized that it was covered with dense fairy patterns.

"You all come from the four regions of the Immortal Palace. Some of you are from my Xuanting Academy, and some of you are from Jingqiong Peak...

"They have different origins, but they are all experts in the art of immortal patterns."

Wei Zhong looked around at everyone and then he realized.

The art of immortal patterns, refining equipment and making talismans are all closely related to the magical power of thunder.

Wei Zhong became an official disciple of the Immortal Palace with the dual identities of a disciple of the Thunder Workshop and the Talisman Pavilion. Although his thunder-related immortal patterns were not outstanding, he at least had some achievements.

As for the people on both sides, they are estimated to have similar abilities to Wei Zhong.

"Our mission is very simple, which is to use the immortal pattern method to fill in the missing corners of this formation based on this formation diagram."

After saying that, the other party threw the formation diagram in his hand violently.

The latter immediately soared into the air, and the rolled-up formation diagram immediately rolled and spread out, gradually expanding and turning into a canopy covering the sky.

As the formation diagram rose into the air and expanded, Wei Zhong could not see the boundaries of the diagram with his naked eyes.

At the same time, ten compasses flew out from Yu Rudong's sleeves, crossed the mountains, and landed on the black stone tablet.

The black light shot up into the sky and instantly connected with the formation diagram on the horizon.
