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

Chapter 564: The Battle of Fate
"Analyze the essence and return to the original state?"

Wei Zhong looked at the words on the Record of Time, confusion revealed on his face.

But in a moment, Wei Zhong began to experiment, using the law of returning to the truth to analyze the various laws and powers he had learned, but it turned out to have no effect at all.

"No, the direction is wrong."

Wei Zhong took out the Wanfa Lingbei again, on which were engraved a large number of spells, ranging from mortal-level, spiritual-level, to immortal-level spells.

Wei Zhong mobilized the law of returning to the truth and looked at the myriad magic techniques in the Monument of All Magic Techniques.

Fire Crow Technique, Water Mirror Technique, Golden Armor Technique...

Wei Zhong started from the low-level techniques. What was different from the past was that at this moment Wei Zhong seemed to have understood the essence of these low-level techniques in just a moment.

Just by seeing the inheritance of magic skills, without practicing them, the proficiency in the skills will skyrocket.

[Fire Crow Technique (Beginner) - (Mastery) - (Grandmaster) - (Shortcut)]

[Water Mirror Technique (Beginner) - (Mastery) - (Grandmaster) - (Shortcut)]

[Golden Armor Technique (Introduction)...]

In less than a breath of time, Wei Zhong mastered three ordinary mortal-level spells to the limit, and the spiritual patterns of the spells appeared in Wei Zhong's eyes.

And this is far from the end, it's just the beginning.

Wei Zhong's eyes moved, focusing on the inheritance marks of other magic techniques.

[Wood Spirit Healing Technique (Shortcut)]

……

[Xuan Yin Bone Erosion Technique (Shortcut)]

……

【Ghost Cry Soul-stealing Technique (Shortcut)】

……

Wei Zhong didn't need to spend even a moment to master the first to third level magic to the point of condensing the magic spirit patterns.

Slightly higher-level mortal-level spells take longer, ranging from one breath to a hundred breaths.

Wei Zhong sat in front of the stone tablet for only ten days and he mastered all the ordinary-level techniques.

After fully mastering these ordinary-level techniques, Wei Zhong shifted his gaze away from the Monument of All Laws.

A look of horror flashed across Wei Zhong's eyes:

"Too fast! Really too fast!"

Although Wei Zhong had reached the level of an immortal at an early age, it could be said that he had a very strong ability to detect ordinary-level methods.

But verification is completely different from complete learning.

Wei Zhong used to practice a mortal-level law. The low-level practice was very fast, only a hundred breaths of time.

However, after practicing this law of returning to the truth, it will take more than a moment to fully learn it.

The laws of the fourth, fifth and higher levels still increase a hundred times faster than before.

This "learning" does not mean that a master can perform a spell with just one look, but rather a complete understanding of the spell and the ability to engrave the corresponding law spiritual patterns.

How many Xuanxian people can have this kind of ability?
Wei Zhong even suspected that apart from himself, no one else had such ability.

Even those high and mighty Taiyi beings may not be able to be this "strong".

Wei Zhong looked up at the spiritual clock and estimated the time when the Yandao Conference would start, and found that there were still more than ten years left.

"There's still enough time, then..."

Wei Zhong shifted his gaze and looked towards the spiritual level magic.

【Thunderfire Purgatory (Introduction)】

Wei Zhong only took a glance at it and understood the essence of this spiritual-level technique and started to learn it.

Wei Zhong's hands lit up with lightning and fire, and the combination of the two seemed to form a door to purgatory...

As Wei Zhong gained insight into the inheritance of magic techniques and practiced them, his speed of improving the techniques increased further.

【Thunderfire Purgatory (Proficient)】

Not long after, the word "skilled" changed to "proficient" as Wei Zhong's proficiency continued to improve.

“Master”… “Grandmaster”… “Shortcut”.

The magic pattern takes shape and is engraved in the Record of Time.

Everything happened naturally, without any obstacles at all.

After a spiritual-level spell was completed, Wei Zhong shifted his gaze and looked at other spells again.

[Mysterious Ice Tornado Technique (Beginner)——(Proficient)…(Shortcut)]

[Mountain Soul Calming Technique (Beginner)——(Proficient)…(Shortcut)]

[Illusionary Light and Shadow Technique...]

Wei Zhong has mastered more and more spiritual-level spells, and the spiritual patterns of the spells engraved on the Record of Time are becoming more and more dense.

After practicing for more than half, many magic patterns have begun to combine with each other, and new laws and principles have been born.

"The Law of Illusionary Light", "The Law of Violent Strike", "The Law of Miasma"...

Some are combinations and expansions of the power of laws that Wei Zhong has already learned, while others are entirely composed of newly learned techniques.

In this way, in the process of constantly mastering spiritual-level techniques, more and more laws and Tao seeds appeared in Wei Zhong's sea of ​​consciousness.

The starlight that once was almost forming a long Milky Way in Wei Zhong’s sea of ​​consciousness.

Wei Zhong was immersed in the practice of various techniques and couldn't extricate himself. He didn't care about other changes in his sea of ​​consciousness at all.

At last,
[Sword Shapeshifting Technique (Shortcut)]

"Finally, everything..."

Wei Zhong also practiced all the spiritual techniques contained in this stone tablet.

Counting the time, only three years have passed, and Wei Zhong still has nearly seven years left.

Wei Zhong's eyes moved, and thirty-three brilliant fairy lights gathered on the top of the stone tablet.

Among them, there are thirty entry-level immortal methods, and three mysterious immortal methods: "Qingdi Changsheng Jue, Houtu Chengtian Ban, Taibai Killing Immortal Sword".

Wei Zhong first looked at the ordinary introductory immortal methods.

【Heavenly Fire Destruction Technique】

【Xuanming Heavy Water Technique】

【…】

Wei Zhong's spiritual consciousness came into contact with it, and immediately obtained the immortal law inheritance from it.

The immortal energy in the cave gathered towards Wei Zhong's body.

Under the guidance of its immortal power, various immortal visions are formed.

The sky fire is above, the heavy water is below, the strong wind blows through, thousands of trees form a forest, and occasionally Gengjin shuttles through...

Fortunately, the cave in the Furnace Alley is large enough and the protective magic circle is solid enough, otherwise Wei Zhong would break it sooner or later with his magic.

Getting started... becoming proficient... the shortcut.

Even if it is as complicated as the immortal method, with the help of the law of returning to the truth, Wei Zhong can easily see through its essence.

As Wei Zhong practiced immortal arts for a longer time, he understood more and more about the immortal patterns within the immortal arts.

Especially Wei Zhongben has many cultivation rules and has mastered countless immortal patterns.

With mutual verification, progress soared again.

After just a few years, Wei Zhong had mastered all thirty immortal techniques.

As many as ten Tao seeds were derived from it.

The spiritual law that enlightens the plants, the immortal law that strengthens the physical body's defense, the soldier law that gathers evil spirits and condenses the troops, and the mysterious law that controls the extremely yin water...

Although they are not the mainstream rules in the world of immortal cultivation, some of them can even be called minor paths or unusual ways.

However, as Wei Zhong gained more and more mastery of these unconventional rules, the rules of the five elements, yin and yang, etc. that he practiced seemed to have some kind of resonance and gathered together firmly.

These "small and fragmented" paths just happened to become the best material for "sticking together" all the paths on Wei Zhong's Hunyuan Road.

The spiritual bell rings, awakening those who are immersed in the magic.

"The time is up!" Wei Zhong had used up all of his remaining time just to study thirty immortal arts. As for the last three mysterious immortal arts, Wei Zhong did not even have time to take a look at them.

【Qingdi Changsheng Jue (Proficient)】

【Hou Tu Cheng Tian Ban (Proficient)】

【Taibai Luxianfeng (Master)】

Looking at the previous proficiency progress, Wei Zhong murmured:
"Never mind. The law of returning to the truth has already been condensed. I don't lack this little bit of time. If I keep doing this, I will be able to improve sooner or later."

Wei Zhong felt open-minded. He stood up and walked out of the cave.

Looking up, he saw fire rising from the sky in Liyang City, and the monks' escape lights were like flowing ribbons, spreading throughout the city.

"Brother Wei!"

I heard Xie Yuanping's voice and looked down, seeing a man and a woman approaching.

The two of them intertwined their arms and behaved intimately.

Wei Zhong smiled slightly when he saw this:
"Congratulations to both of you on your success!"

The two stopped to return the greeting:
"The meeting is about to begin. Brother Wei, you must come with us!"

Wei Zhong was about to agree, but before he could open his mouth, his expression suddenly changed:
"No, I am just a nobody, why should I disturb you two's peace? Brother Jie and Fairy Jiang, please go ahead!"

The two looked at each other and nodded slowly:
"Then we will respectfully welcome Fellow Daoist Wei again at the conference!"

After saying that, the two of them flew up hand in hand, turning into a stream of cyan gold light and merging into the "ribbon" in the sky.

After watching the two walk away, Wei Zhong turned back and stared at the end of the alley:
"Fairy Ge, what are you doing here?"

Ge Peishan walked out from the end of the alley, slowly walked in front of Wei Zhong, and bowed slightly to greet him.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Wei. I wonder if you are confident about this Dao Conference?"

Wei Zhong smiled when he heard this and shook his head slightly:

"How can I know something that has not happened? Fairy Ge, why don't you explain your purpose when you come here at such a critical time?"

Ge Peishan frowned, then relaxed her brows. She did not reply, but took out a green jade slip from her bosom.

"The method to transform Xiantian Xitu into Taixu Lingtu is in it. Please check it out, Fellow Daoist Wei."

Wei Zhong looked surprised, but after checking the jade slip, he suddenly understood something:
“The method is exquisite and can be compared to a treasure.

"I have given you a valuable gift. Can you please tell me your purpose?"

Ge Peishan exhaled, and red clouds floated in her sleeves, covering the two of them, isolating them from the inside and outside:
"I hope that Brother Wei can use all his strength to win the first place in this conference?"

Wei Zhong laughed when he heard this, and his laughter was as if he had heard something absurd:

"There are so many talented people in the world, it's really hard for 'Fairy Ge' to ask such a thing.

"Not to mention the talented people among the Xuanxian, there are also those unfathomable Taiyi Jade Immortals above them. How can a poor Xuanxian like me be so worthy as to take the top spot?"

Apparently, Ge Peishan anticipated this:

"Even if you can't win the first prize, please try your best, Brother Wei. This conference is not only about the internal power struggle of our Tiandao League, but also about Brother Wei himself."

"Huh?" Wei Zhong asked puzzledly.

Suddenly I heard:

“To be honest, our Tiandao League has been struggling for many years, and the internal forces have long been divided and opinions have diverged.

"The various veins have combined and merged with each other, and there are now two main veins, namely the Tianyan Vein where I am, and the Jiejin Vein which is in the opposite direction.

“The two sects have different goals, different opinions, and big differences in how they act.

“The long struggle has exhausted all the monks in the alliance, so under the agreement of the alliance leader, they have agreed to meet at this Dao Yan Conference to compete for luck and decide the winner.

“The winner will be the orthodox Tiandao League and will absorb the defeated faction.

“There are many talented people in my Tianyan Clan, but Elder Lu believes that eight out of ten of them are not as good as Fellow Daoist Wei.

“When I came here, the elders told me that I hope Brother Wei can try his best.

"Once we understand the situation here, our Tiandao League will give you the opportunity of Taiyi."

After saying that, Ge Peishan took out another golden note.

He solemnly handed it to Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong touched it with his finger, and Da Jin in the sea of ​​consciousness suddenly looked up.

"This……"

Wei Zhong looked down and saw that the golden letter was covered with dense fairy patterns, containing various types of law power.

One of them had an aura that was almost identical to Ge Peishan’s.

"Good fellow, you're betting your own energy!"

With this golden invitation in hand, it means that the Tianyan lineage will never have the chance to break the contract no matter what.

As long as Wei Zhong completes the other party's requirements, the other party must fulfill his promise.

The higher Wei Zhong's ranking, the more the other party will have to pay.

As for the Taiyi opportunity, it seems that it is not difficult to achieve.

"You, the Tiandao League, have the temperament of a gambler!"

Ge Peishan was not angry at Wei Zhong's teasing, but just replied calmly:

"The competition for luck has always been like this. If our Tiandao League wants to move from being a dark force that everyone wants to the light, this is the only way to go."

The other party looked serious and passionate, but it was a pity that Wei Zhong could not empathize with him.

However, considering Taiyi's opportunity, Wei Zhong still replied:
"I'll do my best!"

"Thank you!"

Just as Ge Peishan was about to leave, Wei Zhong suddenly asked:

"By the way, just as your Tianyan Vein has reinforcements, what about Jiejin Vein?"

"There must be one. If Brother Wei encounters it, he will have a sense of it."

After saying this, the latter's figure immediately turned into a red cloud and disappeared, and Wei Zhong reappeared in the alley.

After putting away the golden invitation, Wei Zhong's face flashed with surprise.

In the pavilion thousands of miles away, Ge Peishan appeared and looked at the old man drinking tea in front of him:
"Senior Lu, does Wei Zhong really have such ability?"

Lu Hechen put down the teacup and stroked his beard:
"To be honest, I don't know either."

"This……"

Ge Peishan was speechless. She had thought that this old senior was very insightful, but now...

"I only know that this person has great luck and fortune, far beyond ordinary people. His fate is uncertain, like chaos.

“I have only seen such a special fate in the leader of the alliance.

"And this boy is very strong, and seems to have the signs of reflecting this destiny...

"so……"

"It turned out to be a big gamble!" Ge Peishan shook her head helplessly.

"Ling'er, are Jun Mo and the others here?"

Hearing Lu Hechen's question, Ge Peishan quickly nodded and replied:
"Several colleagues have arrived and are probably entering the venue by now."

"That's good. The luck of my Tianyan Clan cannot rely on others alone. In the end, my Tianyan Clan has to fight for it ourselves.

"Pei Shan, don't just sit there, go join the guild and have a look. The Qiyun True Son of the Jiejin Vein is tricky, so we have to be careful in dealing with it."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Ge Peishan retreated and joined the monks' escape light and went straight into the venue.

Wei Zhong strolled through the streets, his steps slow and without the slightest impatience.

His mentality is calm, and with each breath, his energy is gathered and continues to rise.

Wei Zhong is adjusting his own state.

It is said that the next Yan Dao Conference will last for about a year, during which time the "Device Method" will continue, and the arena-like competition will be a great test for the cultivators.

In the past, there were many people who were eliminated because the power of the laws was exhausted.

This meeting is related to the innate Xirang and Taiyi opportunity, Wei Zhong does not want to miss these two things carelessly.
