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

Chapter 556: Heaven-stealing Mirror, the Treasure of Copy
Wei Zhong couldn't figure out why this cultivator from the Tiandao League suddenly approached him.

Looking at the envious looks from his colleagues around him, Wei Zhong shook his head slightly.

'Even immortals are not immune to worldly affairs.'

Fortunately, the female cultivator from the Tiandao League only greeted Wei Zhong:

"My name is Ge Peishan, from the Baimei Xuanyin Sect. Fellow Daoist Wei, I think I look familiar. If there is a chance in the future, I will be waiting for you with a cup of tea..."

After saying this, the latter immediately turned around and found a place to sit down at the invitation of everyone.

Seeing the latter being surrounded by the other cultivators again, Xie Yuanping said with a smile:

"Brother Wei, this is a good opportunity. The Baimei Xuanyin Sect is a Daluo Immortal Sect. If Brother Wei can establish a relationship with them, his status in the Immortal Palace will rise. Maybe with this kind of external force, he can even become a direct disciple."

Wei Zhong had a strange look on his face when he heard this:
"Where did you start talking about this?"

"My Thunder Palace has many rules for forming alliances with the outside world. If you can find a great background outside, you can catch the eye of the Palace elders..."

Wei Zhong shook his head:

"This Ge Peishan is just an ordinary Xuanxian, where does her Daluo background come from?"

"That's wrong. The Hidden Sect has very few disciples, and most of them only have a few lineages of inheritance. It is far less prosperous than my Immortal Palace. This Ge Peishan's master, or master's grandfather, must be that Daluo senior."

Wei Zhongren just shook his head:

"Brother Jie, you think too much. We have only met once. How could such an opportunity come to us?"

Wei Zhong didn't want to get too involved with the female cultivator from the Tiandao League. What if the latter was exposed and dragged him down?

Wei Zhong interrupted what Xie Yuanping was about to say and pointed to the center of the courtyard, where a cultivator had already walked out. He was the owner of this courtyard and a disciple of the Five Elements Immortal Palace.

"Welcome everyone to participate in the exchange meeting convened by me, I am Jin Wuchen..."

He was dressed in a golden robe, with straight hair, and exuding a golden sharp aura. He looked like a sword piercing the sky. His powerful aura made everyone present look stern.

'Another master!'

Although the opponent was also a Xuanxian, the power he displayed was in no way inferior to the Xuanxian direct descendants of the Thunder Immortal Palace that Wei Zhong had seen.

"Without further ado, I will start with this item. I hope you will show us your treasures!"

As he spoke, a jade bottle appeared in the other party's hand.

The bottle is clear and transparent, with a golden cloud inside. The cloud moves and combines into various tiny weapons.

Wei Zhong looked inside through the golden aura and found that there was a pill left.

"A Xuanxian-level body-refining elixir, the Taibai Immortal Killing Pill. This elixir is made mainly of the light of the seven white tiger stars in the west, supplemented by the Taiyi gold ore core...

"It was refined after ninety-nine and eighty-one days of tempering with Gengjin thunder and fire.

“Taking it can temper the physical strength of Xuanxian cultivators like us, and it will greatly benefit fellow Taoists who practice the Way of Gold.

"All of you who are not practicing the Gold Principle can also..."

"The first move he made was a Xuanxian-level elixir. This Daoist Fellow Jin Wuchen is no simple person," Xie Yuanping said to Wei Zhong while pulling his beard as he looked at the elixir that the cultivator in the center of the courtyard held up.

Wei Zhong nodded:
"It is rumored that this person is a new disciple of a Taiyi elder of the Ruijin Palace. He has a sufficient background and powerful cultivation. He also has a lot of resources and connections in the outside world. That's why he took the initiative to lead the exchange meeting."

While Wei Zhong and the other man were talking, the body-refining elixir had already been fought over by many cultivators present.

"I have a Taoist tool, a Sanyuan colored glaze lamp. I use the spirit of the cultivator as candles, and light fire to attract the spirit..."

"I have a Chaos Green Lotus Seed that can help Xuanxian like me to generate a second soul..."

"..."

Everyone showed their own treasures, trying to exchange them for the elixir in Jin Wuchen's hand.

The latter browsed among the crowd and finally chose the Sanyuan colored glass lamp.

"Brother Wei, don't you want this Taibai Luxian Pill?"

Hearing Xie Yuanping's question, Wei Zhong shook his head and smiled:
"Although the body-refining elixir is good, the power of the five elements alone may not be suitable for me. If the five elements are complete, I might consider it..."

As Wei Zhong finished speaking, the two of them had completed the transaction. The one who got the pill stepped forward and slowly showed the treasure in his hand:

"A Blood Phoenix Immortal Flower. This flower is a relic of the Phoenix's failed Nirvana. Taking it can gain some of the power of the Phoenix Nirvana Body and enhance the effect of the body's repair..."

The treasure this man took out had a famous name, but few people in the courtyard responded.

"This person has the Chaos Green Lotus Seed and the Blood Phoenix Immortal Flower. Could it be that he sneaked into the demon clan's territory?"

Wei Zhong shook his head slightly. After reaching the immortal level, although some monsters still retained their bloodline power, it was already quite thin and was of little help to the path to immortality.

It can be said that after the immortal level, the gap between humans, demons, monsters and even other races has narrowed infinitely.

Even if this Blood Phoenix Immortal Flower was truly born from the failed Nirvana of a Profound Immortal-level Blood Phoenix, its effect would at most be similar to that of a Profound Immortal-level elixir, and it would not be too strange.

Therefore, there were very few people interested in the courtyard.

Wei Zhong saw some people showing off their treasures. The cultivators standing in the center were all dissatisfied and kept shaking their heads to reject others' requests for exchange.

"Do you have any suitable treasures to exchange for this Blood Phoenix Immortal Flower in my hand?"

Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, no one responded, so the latter could only sigh and leave.

Another person stepped forward:
"I, Zhong Zhen, have a secret treasure called the Heaven-stealing Mirror, which has the ability to temporarily copy other people's magical powers and immortal methods, with an effect of about 30% to 70%..."

This treasure has miraculous effects and has attracted the interest of many people.

"Words are not enough, why don't you demonstrate it on the spot?"

The monk glanced at the narrow courtyard where everyone was sitting, with a hesitant look on his face.

Jin Wuchen smiled, stood up and said, "Friend Zhong, don't worry!"

After saying that, he waved his sleeves, and the magic circle in the courtyard was immediately activated. The vast sky above everyone's heads kept moving upward and expanding, expanding more than a hundred times in the blink of an eye, as if a round bubble was placed above everyone's heads.

'Space array.'

Seeing this, Zhong Zhenzhong nodded slowly and stretched out his right hand:
"Is there any fellow Taoist who can come forward and show us a method?"

"I come!"

Xie Yuanping flew forward with his robe fluttering, and naturally many people recognized his identity.

"A disciple of the Five Elements Palace, this is quite authoritative..."

Looking up and smiling, a long rainbow appeared in Xie Yuanping's hand, its lightning flashed, and its shape seemed to bend. Wei Zhong only took a glance and recognized this method:

"Thunder Snake Whip, a true immortal-level magic!"

This method is not complicated, and for the disciples of Thunder Immortal Palace, it is an extremely simple one.

After seeing this method, Zhong Zhenzhong held the Heaven-stealing Mirror and used the mirror to face the Thunder Snake Whip, and then injected his own immortal power into the mirror with both hands.

Wei Zhong's eyes flashed with lightning, and he had already activated part of the power of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Thunder Pupils, looking at the scene in the sky.

A moment after the Thunder Serpent Whip appeared, the phantom of the Thunder Serpent Whip really appeared in the Heaven-Stealing Mirror. With a light shout and a finger of his hand, an identical Thunder Serpent Whip shot out from the mirror and intertwined with the method performed by Jie Yuanping himself.

The two whip shadows intersected with each other and then disappeared together.

"well!"

This imitation method just now replicated at least 60% of the power of the Thunder Snake Whip. No wonder it attracted cheers from the monks in the field.

Wei Zhong's eyes flashed with lightning, and he noticed something strange in the process of the Heaven-Stealing Mirror copying the magic.

"The Sky-stealing Mirror, the name has the word 'steal' in it, it's really a well-named immortal weapon." From Wei Zhong's perspective, the Sky-stealing Mirror captured a small amount of the scattered aura from Yuan Ping's spellcasting, and also took some advantage of his own Thunder Snake Whip technique, thus successfully imitating and copying it.

"Yes, then what about this trick?"

Xie Yuanping pointed and a three-inch lightning light burst out from his fingertips, but this three-inch lightning light expanded rapidly in the blink of an eye, like a lightning arrow shooting out at a rapid speed.

"Thunder Finger, a true immortal-level magic."

Although this method is also a True Immortal-level method like the Thunder Snake Whip, it requires a higher level of comprehension of the True Immortal's laws and is more powerful.

Zhong Zhenzhong copied the power of this method in the Heaven Stealing Mirror, but this time it was only 50% effective.

Xie Yuanping used various methods again, and as a result, he could copy the Heaven-Stealing Mirror with a power of 40%, 50% or 60%. Only the Xuanxian method would reduce the effect to 40%.

Seeing this scene, the monks in the field nodded continuously.

Xie Yuanping also had to admit that the power of this mirror was indeed extraordinary.

Wei Zhong became interested at this moment:

"Brother Jie, why don't you let me give it a try?"

After saying that, Wei Zhong soared into the sky, his robe conspicuous, and it was obvious that he and Jie Yuanping were both from the Thunder Palace.

Zhong Zhenzhong saw this and said:
"You two are both thunder cultivators. Are there any limitations to the methods you use?"

Xie Yuanfang had just performed seven or eight techniques, all of which were thunder techniques.

Hearing this, the monks present nodded in agreement.

Wei Zhong smiled happily, and when he raised his hand, a colorful lotus appeared in his palm. Its various colors were composed of the power of many laws, including but not limited to the five elements of thunder, etc.:
"Don't worry, I have learned many laws."

"this!"

Upon seeing this colorful lotus, many of the practitioners present could not help but stand up from their wooden chairs.

Jin Wuchen looked at the Falian in Wei Zhong's hand with his eyes slightly narrowed. Ge Peishan also grabbed the handrail, as if she once again realized the peculiarity of Wei Zhong.

Zhong Zhenzhong caught a glimpse of the Falian in Wei Zhong's hand from close up, his smile stiffened, and he was obviously a little panicked.

Wei Zhong squeezed his palm, and Fa Lian immediately dissipated:

"Friend Zhong, can we start now?"

The latter took a while to react and nodded:
"Okay, okay, go ahead and cast the spell."

Wei Zhong turned around and looked at Xie Yuanping, who immediately flew down and made room for Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong raised his hand and seven rockets appeared in his hand. There were thunders clinging to the rockets. These were the low-level spells, the Yangyan Thunder Arrows, that Wei Zhong had learned after comprehending the Thunder Emperor Seal.

Its grade is merely ordinary, equivalent to the Nascent Soul stage.

Seeing Wei Zhong perform this kind of magic, all the immortals present laughed. Even Zhong Zhenzhong smiled a little. He thought Wei Zhong had some other tricks, but unexpectedly he only used ordinary magic.

Just when he was about to activate the Heaven-Stealing Mirror to imitate, Wei Zhong's finger gestures changed unexpectedly, and the Yangyan Thunder Arrows merged with each other, and a field of thunder and fire was opened.

Spiritual level magic, burning evil thunder domain.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just the spiritual level..."

Zhong Zhenzhong was about to imitate, but Wei Zhong spoke up:

"Fellow Daoist Jin, please activate the power of this courtyard magic formation to its full potential!"

There was no contempt in Jin Wuchen's eyes. After seeing Wei Zhong's colorful lotus, he had already identified Wei Zhong as a master.

Suddenly, his sleeves fluttered, and twelve golden decrees flew out and inserted into the twelve corners around the courtyard.

The range of the magic circle above everyone's heads expanded again, and the thickness of the surrounding spiritual light also doubled.

Wei Zhong was relieved then and pointed his finger into the Burning Evil Thunder Region.

The light of the law flashed, and the evil-burning thunder domain suddenly exploded, and nine pillars of heaven emerged in combination in this space.

Its color is red like the sun, and there is thunder and lightning clinging to it.

It is the Nine Yang Heavenly Strike, which is of the immortal level and true immortal level.

This method is a magical method that is a fusion of the three laws of fire, yang, and thunder.

The nine red sun lightning pillars are all covered by the magic gate. As long as Wei Zhong moves his finger, he can burn thousands of miles away.

Wei Zhong held the Red Sun Lightning Pillar in his hand and looked at Zhong Zhenzhong:

"Fellow Taoist, please!"

Zhong Zhenzhong's face was stiff, and he could only drive the Heaven-stealing Mirror against his scalp.

Lightning and flames appeared, and nine smaller red sun lightning pillars suddenly appeared in the sky.

Compared with the method used by Wei Zhong, there is simply a world of difference.

"This, I'm afraid it's only less than 30% of its power, right?"

"How can it be 30%? I think 25% is good enough. It's really strange. Why is there such a big gap between the two True Immortal-level methods?"

Everyone was puzzled, but Wei Zhong had already dispersed the "Nine Yang Heavenly Strike" technique.

He cast the spell again, with the same three levels of mortal, spirit and immortal. There were Yin thunder ice needles, black thunderstorm, and black thunder covering the sky like an eternal night. Just by taking a look at it, everyone felt as if their souls were about to be frozen.

A true immortal-level magic spell, a fusion of water, yin, and thunder into the "Eternal Night Frozen Thunder".

Zhong Zhenzhong gritted his teeth and activated the Heaven-Stealing Mirror, but he could only copy about 25% of it.

Wei Zhong used several methods again.

The Demon-Slaying Divine Thunder is a fusion of gold, killing and thunder; the All-Spirit Thunder Sacrifice is a fusion of wood, life and thunder; the Nine Netherworld Thunder is a fusion of earth, death and thunder.

No matter how Zhong Zhenzhong activated the Heaven-stealing Mirror, he was unable to imitate 30% or more of the effect.

His face was stiff, with fear and gloom appearing at the same time.

Wei Zhong did not stop even after seeing this, and the power of the five laws he had just used appeared in his palms at the same time. He raised his hand and rubbed it, and a colorful lotus appeared in his palms.

It integrated the power of five methods, which was Wei Zhong's immature attempt. The number of internal laws far exceeded the number of general methods.

However, the rank is still only that of True Immortal.

"Friend Zhong, why not try again?"

Zhong Zhenzhong's fingers were stiff, and he seemed to be trembling as he looked at the colorful lotus the size of Wei Zhong's palm.

"Daoyou's method has exceeded the limitations of the Heaven Stealing Mirror. I'm afraid it cannot be replicated."

There was an uproar as soon as these words were spoken.

Those with discerning eyes have already seen the drawbacks of this Heaven Stealing Mirror:
"Does it mean that the more types of laws involved, the more difficult it is to copy this mirror?"

After the test, Wei Zhong flew down and Zhong Zhenzhong showed his magic mirror again. Unfortunately, after Wei Zhong's fuss, few people made bids.

Just when Zhong Zhenzhong was helpless, Wei Zhong stepped forward again:

“Although this realm of Daoist Zhong has limitations, it is also a good treasure.

"Why don't you take a look at this thing in my hand and see if you can exchange it for it?"
