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

Chapter 585 Beacon Positioning
Wei Zhong couldn't understand what kind of power could possibly break through the "Void Prison Diamond Strike Technique" and escape right under his nose.

Although Wei Zhong's "Void Prison Diamond Strike Technique" was copied from Mi Tian, ​​it was incredibly powerful thanks to Wei Zhong's spatial Taiyi power and the enhancement of the Void Bracelet fragment.

Now, however, it's as simple as a piece of paper, leaving Wei Zhong quite bewildered.

After searching for a long time within this space, they indeed could not find any trace of Wuya's departure.

"This demonic dragon is not only proficient in the laws of cosmic erosion, but also has such attainments in space. If it had made its move earlier, I would probably have been defeated long ago."

Why have you been avoiding me?

Wei Zhong rubbed his chin, his mind filled with confusion.

Recalling the changes in the dragon's spatial magic and its sudden change in tone, Wei Zhong couldn't help but have a thought.

"Could it be?"

Wei Zhong moved with his will, tearing through space to reach the outside world.

After taking several steps through the void, they arrived at the former site of the Hunter Wind Tribe.

This place was occupied by Kyushu in its early years and has become a treasure trove of resources for Kyushu.

The city, spanning a radius of hundreds of miles, completely covered the former Hunter Wind Tribe.

Wei Zhong did not disturb anyone, but followed the direction his divine sense had found and entered the cave.

This cave was once a treasure trove for the Hunter Wind tribe, and Wei Zhong's Red Tassel Immortal Spear was obtained from this place by chance.

"The Crimson Tassel Immortal Spear was created by one of the Taiyi Immortals who fought for this realm. With the addition of the demon dragon Wuyai, there are already two contenders."

"Then, could there be a third, a fourth, or even more Taiyi Immortals?"

Wei Zhong's eyes gradually brightened, and his divine sense transformed into water droplets that seeped into the mountain rocks. Soon, he found the cave where the Red Tassel Immortal Spear had been stored.

Without the support of the immortal spear, the fierce winds in the cave have fallen silent.

Wei Zhong did not come to see this cave; his divine sense continued to extend, spreading to the soil within a hundred miles of the cave.

If there's no result after a hundred miles, then it'll be a thousand miles, ten thousand miles...

Wei Zhong tore through space and searched deep underground, finally stopping in a rock layer 30,000 miles away.

The area is characterized by dense rocks and rigid spaces, suggesting it may have been subjected to powerful magic, resulting in environmental alterations.

Wei Zhong slowly bent down and picked up a gray stone from the ground.

The spiritual energy transformed into a swift wind, sweeping away the soil from the stones, and a silvery light shone from within.

As Wei Zhong examined this seemingly ordinary fragment, he could sense its immense power even across countless years.

The power of time flowed between Wei Zhong's palms, attempting to restore the fragments to their previous complete form.

Its surface is adorned with countless immortal patterns, which Wei Zhong replenished and repaired using the laws he cultivated.

Finally, a broken piece of the shuttle appeared in Wei Zhong's hands.

It was only about half the size of Wei Zhong's palm, and its surface was damaged beyond recognition, but the aura of spatial laws emanating from it made Wei Zhong's eyes grow brighter and brighter.

"It's you?"

The collected fragments were too few for Wei Zhong to be certain.

He raised his head, looked around, and continued to search with his divine sense.

After a long period of time, Wei Zhong found no fewer than thirty fragments that appeared to be immortal artifacts underground in the Nine Provinces.

Among them, there were twenty pieces that were most similar to the aura of this flying shuttle.

As for the others, there were three fragments of the Red Tassel Immortal Spear shaft, and several auras that Wei Zhong found completely unfamiliar.

It seems to have come from other contenders.

"As expected, there were others. If my guess is correct, there were at least five Taiyi Immortals who participated in the competition."

"Wuya is the one who survived to this day and has the lightest injuries."

"As for the second one, it is the spatial law Taiyi that resides in Wuya's body."

"The owner of the Red Tassel Immortal Spear is San, and he must have retained most of the remaining immortal artifacts."

"As for the fourth and fifth... they are most likely dead. Their magical artifacts were completely shattered, it's hard to imagine how they could possibly survive..."

However, thinking of the various wondrous methods of the immortal realm, Wei Zhong shook his head again:
"Of course, we cannot completely rule out this possibility."

After thinking it over and over, Wei Zhong looked up and saw a broken Dharma boat.

“The Dharma Boat, or rather, the temporary palace.”

"This Taiyi certainly knows how to enjoy life; his own immortal artifact is actually a palace that can travel between heaven and earth."

The crafting of imperial palace artifacts requires a great deal of materials and is extremely complex.

Even though Wei Zhong spent a long time at Xuan Ting Academy refining weapons to improve his skills, most of his weapons were immortal swords and shields.

He hadn't even touched the magical artifacts of this palace.

Wei Zhong looked at the dilapidated palace, which he had forcibly pieced together using twenty fragments he had collected.

Through the power of time, Wei Zhong could glimpse the previous appearance of the fragments, and by piecing them together, he managed to reconstruct about one-tenth of the appearance of the palace.

The latter was dilapidated and looked as if it might collapse at any moment.

"To possess such wealth, it seems this cultivator of spatial laws is indeed exceptionally powerful."

Wei Zhong still marvels at the man's ingenious spatial techniques.

"In that case, it will be difficult to find the other party's location. Unless my spatial skills surpass this person's, or through a powerful spatial magic treasure."

Although Wei Zhong's comprehension of the laws is progressing rapidly, he has only recently advanced to the Taiyi level in space. It will still take a lot of effort for him to catch up with such a veteran powerhouse, and it is not something that can be achieved in a short period of time.

"The only remaining option is to find a suitable spatial magic treasure?"

Wei Zhong frowned. Such a treasure cannot be ordinary, nor can it be too weak. It probably cannot reach the level of a typical sacred object.

"In the Immortal Realm, all treasures have owners. Even if I collect materials to forge a sacred object myself, it won't be easy..."

"Trouble, trouble..."

Wei Zhong pondered for a moment, then slowly lowered his head and saw the fragment of the Void Bracelet embedded in the flesh of his palm.

"If we could obtain the complete Void Bracelet, perhaps..."

Wei Zhong tore it open with a casual gesture and traveled through space to the battlefield between the human and demon races.

At this time, the battle line was pushed westward by the Kyushu human race for more than a thousand miles.

Without Wuya's assistance, these spirit-level demonic dragons pose no threat whatsoever.

Cultivators from all nine provinces took turns attacking and systematically occupying the territory of the demon realm.

Wei Zhong looked around the crowd and quickly selected his target.

A moment later, Mahayana cultivators Hu Zhixuan and Zang Hui paid their respects to Wei Zhong.

"Greetings, Lord Lei. Did you have any instructions for summoning us two?"

Wei Zhong did not reply, but instead sized up the two of them, sensing their cultivation levels, before slowly speaking:

"One is at the sixth tribulation level, and the other at the seventh tribulation level. If they can cultivate to this level, the day they ascend to the ninth tribulation level is not far away."

"Thank you for your praise, senior," the two said with wry smiles. "But we are people from the Nine Provinces, and I'm afraid the world will not allow us to ascend."

Qi Han had not previously concealed the fact that the world was restricted from the local cultivators. After being informed of this, the two naturally understood that they had no hope of ascending to the Immortal Realm.

"Who says there isn't? What I want to do, the power of this realm can't stop me."

"I ask you two, if an opportunity to ascend to immortality were presented to you, would you be willing?"

The two exchanged glances upon hearing this, both recognizing an opportunity in Wei Zhong's words.

They all knelt down before Wei Zhong:

"This junior is willing!"
"We are deeply grateful to our senior; we are willing to go through fire and water, even to the point of death!"

No one would give such an opportunity to someone else for no reason.

Given their cultivation experience, Wei Zhong's decision to give them this opportunity must mean he has something important to do.

Wei Zhong gently stroked his beard:
"Not bad, not bad!" Then he casually tossed two storage bags to the two of them:
"These contain cultivation resources left over from my Mahayana period, as well as several lightning-repelling talismans drawn by me. You two should make good use of them and come back to me when you are about to undergo the Nine Tribulations."

"Yes!"

The two left with the treasure. Although they didn't know what Wei Zhong wanted them to do, the benefits before them were too good to pass up.

"We have the one who will ascend; what we need next is the beacon."

Wei Zhong rubbed the fragment of the Void Bracelet in his palm, stood up, and traversed tens of thousands of miles to enter the Void Land.

Wei Zhong collected many precious materials here, and chose an auspicious day to begin refining weapons.

Several years passed in the blink of an eye, and a javelin-shaped magical artifact appeared in Wei Zhong's hand.

"The space beacon is quite well-made."

This item is not a celestial artifact primarily for offense or defense. As Wei Zhong said, this item is a beacon, a beacon that embodies Wei Zhong's understanding of the laws of space and was crafted using various void treasures.

This object, when outside, can be sensed by Wei Zhong, and used as a base to open a spatial passage remotely.

Wei Zhong had thought long and hard, and decided that if he wanted to find the demonic dragon Wuyai and the mysterious immortal, he would have to start with the spatial artifact.

In the Immortal Realm, the only immortal artifact Wei Zhong had the opportunity to come into contact with was the Void Bracelet.

Although this item is damaged, it was originally a supreme treasure of the Great Luo Primordial Chaos, and its level is extremely high.

Moreover, the ownership of the fragments is transparent. If Wei Zhong could collect them all, reassemble them, and use them to search for Wuya and the other two, it would be perfect.

The only problem is how to get to the Celestial Realm.

Wei Zhong could not possibly find the location of the Immortal Realm in the void on his own. Leaving the Nine Provinces Realm in this way would be no different from handing it over to Wuya and the other two.

Therefore, Wei Zhong thought of using ascended cultivators to ascend into the Immortal Realm and take away the beacon, so that Wei Zhong could find the location of the Immortal Realm and open a spatial passage for travel back and forth.

"One beacon is not enough; we cannot rely on just one person."

Wei Zhong then crafted two more beacons.

As time went by, with Wei Zhong's support, Hu Zhixuan and Zang Hui's cultivation levels steadily improved.

In the blink of an eye, the two had passed through eight tribulations, and were only one ninth tribulation and the world restriction away from ascension.

Wei Zhong led the two into the void and cast a spell to sever their connection with the Nine Provinces.

The power of calamity resurfaced, filling the two with immense joy.

"Thank you, Lord Thunder!"

The two bowed in thanks, and Wei Zhong lifted them up with a flick of his sleeve.

"I have fulfilled my promise. The rest is up to you two to assist me."

"Please explain, Lord Lei."

Seeing that the two did not refuse, Wei Zhong slowly took out two beacons and handed them to the two of them respectively.

"This item was refined by this sect..."

Wei Zhong gave a brief description of the beacon, but omitted its function.

They were told that all they needed to do after ascending to immortality was to place them in the celestial realm.

"So Easy?"

The two seemed somewhat incredulous, asking repeatedly, and each time Wei Zhong gave an affirmative answer.

The two carefully put away the beacon and bowed respectfully in farewell.

"Rest assured, Lord Lei, we will definitely handle this matter well."

Wei Zhong nodded:
"My Nine Provinces hold many secrets, therefore..."

"Since the Thunder Lord is wielding his golden light, neither of us wants to reveal even a single piece of information about the Nine Provinces."

His sensible demeanor made Wei Zhong nod in agreement.

After placing a soul-binding restriction on the two to prevent the news from leaking out, Wei Zhong then prepared them for the ninth tribulation.

A thousand years later, two thunderclouds emerged in the void.

Many Mahayana practitioners in the surrounding area witnessed this ascension opportunity.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the nine bolts of lightning flew past swiftly. With the protection of the lightning treasure bestowed by Wei Zhong, these lightning tribulations were not even worth mentioning.

Witnessed by them, the two safely survived the ordeal, were enveloped in divine light, and then disappeared into the void.

The location they were going to was obvious to everyone without Wei Zhongyan having to say it.

Intense light emanated from the eyes of these Mahayana practitioners.

With such an opportunity before them, how could these cultivators remain calm?

Wei Zhong observed all of this and knew that he had achieved his goal.

He led everyone back to their residence and gathered them in the palace atop the mountain. The Mahayana monks remained silent.

Wei Zhong looked at the seven people who had just advanced or were veteran Mahayana cultivators.

"Hu Zhixuan and Zang Hui have successfully ascended. I wish to select two more people and bestow upon them cultivation resources, tribulation-crossing treasures, and methods to accelerate tribulation..."

Wei Zhong's words successfully attracted everyone's attention.

Hearing what Wei Zhong said, many people were eager to try it out.

However, Wei Zhong only glanced at one side before identifying the two people with the highest cultivation levels among the seven:

"Yuan Jingxian and Kong Jingming, you two have both survived the five major tribulations of the Mahayana stage, and you are only four levels away from ascension. I wish to support you both. Are you willing?"

The two men, personally named by Wei Zhong, were overjoyed and quickly rose to their feet to pay their respects.
"I am willing, I am willing, thank you for the gift, Dao Lord."

Wei Zhong nodded, stroked his beard and chuckled, then looked at the others who looked disappointed and said:

"You who have not been selected need not worry, for you will be chosen in the future."

Upon hearing this, the expressions on their faces softened slightly, and some even showed signs of excitement.

The allure of ascension is simply too great for these Mahayana practitioners.

"Within my Nine Provinces, are there still any worthy Mahayana practitioners?"

"Reporting to Lord Lei, my Liu family..."

"There is a Dao-Merging cultivator within the Liuyun Academy..."

"..."

A thousand years have passed, and with the help of Wei Zhong's resources, the two of them ascended to the immortal realm once again.

Having chosen a successor, Wei Zhong returned to his cave to search for his beacon's location.

Frowning slightly:

"It's still too far. Even with my specially crafted immortal artifact, it's difficult to pinpoint its location across the vast void."

"If the quality isn't good enough, then we'll fill the gap with quantity!"

The Nine Provinces change day and night, and cultivators emerge one after another.

As an immortal, Wei Zhong had an endless lifespan, watching generation after generation of Dao-merging cultivators rise and fall.

More than ten thousand years have passed, and Wei Zhong has sent ten Mahayana cultivators to the Immortal Realm.

The scale of response finally became apparent at this moment.

Wei Zhong found the beacon's vague location in the vast void.

The next day, ignoring the war in the Nine Provinces, Wei Zhong sneaked into the vast void and began to build a space teleportation array using the various void treasures he had collected.

After half a year, a black hole appeared in the void.

Its silver-edged black body is engraved with numerous spatial immortal patterns.

Wei Zhong glanced at the Nine Provinces Realm, then plunged into it, his figure vanishing and the spatial array disappearing at the same time.
