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

Chapter 595 Homogeneous Entities, Ascension Across the Nine Provinces
"..."

After listening to Wei Zhong's explanation, Wen Shao kept switching between youth and old age, sometimes stroking his smooth chin, sometimes tugging at his beard, squinting his eyes as he pondered what Wei Zhong had said.

He remained like this for a long time before finally looking up at Wei Zhong, his eyes filled with doubt and uncertainty:

"Are you sure?"

Wei Zhong shook his head:
"Whether we can succeed or not, we'll only know after trying. Or perhaps Senior Wenshao has other methods?"

The other party sighed:
"In that case, so be it."

The other party seemed to lack confidence in Wei Zhong's methods, but Wei Zhong didn't seem to care.

Breaking the current order of the Immortal Realm is not only what Wen Shao and others desire, but also what Wei Zhong aims to achieve.

Having cultivated all the way to this point, the Great Luo realm is practically the pinnacle.

The only way to advance further is to become the Dao Ancestor.

However, if Wei Zhong wants to advance to the Dao Ancestor level, he will inevitably have to give up a lot.

The highest path, including the flow of time and space, has been occupied.

Only a few remote roads were accessible to Wei Zhong.

However, this would inevitably require abandoning the path of cultivating all methods and leaving the path of becoming a human immortal in order to advance to the level of a Dao Ancestor.

After all, the Dao Ancestor of the Immortal Realm was a true celestial being who had mastered the long river of laws in the Immortal Realm.

Wei Zhong was unwilling to give up all of this, nor was he willing to become an ordinary Dao Ancestor, like Fen Yuan, who had to be mindful of the opinions of Wu Hui and others.

Moreover, because Wei Zhong cultivated the Law of Time and reached the Great Luo Realm, Wu Hui could be said to regard Wei Zhong as a thorn in his side.

How could they possibly allow Wei Zhong to easily ascend to the position of Dao Ancestor in the Immortal Realm? Are they not afraid that Wei Zhong will encroach on their Dao?
Therefore, Wei Zhong can never succeed on the path of becoming a Dao Ancestor in the Immortal Realm.

As for solely focusing on cultivating one's own myriad techniques, the limit one can reach is only the level of the Primordial Immortal Venerable of the past.

It might be able to deal with some ordinary Dao Ancestors' incarnation projections, but when facing the true Dao Ancestor's original body...

There is no way out within the Immortal Realm; the only solution is to look outwards for a way to break the deadlock.

Upon returning to the Nine Provinces Realm, Wei Zhong observed the realm's power continuously increasing and the human race's strength flourishing. He then realized that he no longer needed to worry about anything within the Nine Provinces Realm.

So he went into seclusion and began to sever his life essence.

As time goes by,

Wei Zhong stood inside the cave, his gaze sweeping over the things in front of him.

The other person also looked up and sized him up, and his every move was no different from Wei Zhong's.

Both of them raised their arms at the same time and said in unison:

"Is this the division of life essence?"

"Life essence is the condensation of my entire being, containing the power of laws, divine consciousness, memories, and soul..."

"Even my own existence is a one-to-one division."

"Although they have become two bodies, under the restriction of the Heart Wall Law, they are of one mind and have no worries about backlash."

"They can be considered absolute homologs."

The two Wei Zhong spoke in unison, their minds in sync, without any hesitation.

"The body splits into two parts, and the power of the body is thus divided."

The Life Essence represents everything about Wei Zhong, and naturally, the long river of laws within his body split in two.

"As a result, our strength has decreased considerably, but it is not irreparable."

The two Wei Zhongs looked at each other:

"Alright, now we need to decide who will go to Jiechuan to search for other worlds."

Both men extended their hands simultaneously, and one of them said rather dejectedly:

"Looks like I'm not having a good day."

"It's not luck, it's clearly a preordained arrangement."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

He then plunged into the void, watching the same entity disappear into the Boundary River.

At first, they could use the latter to sense and peer into the scenery deep within the Boundary River, but as the other party went deeper and the distance grew farther and farther, the connection was eventually lost.

"I wonder what the outcome will be after this journey?"

Wei Zhongxin felt melancholy.

The strength of the same origin entity is limited. Although it is at the level of a Great Luo Immortal, it is still too insignificant in this vast world of immortals.

The outside world is unknown, and Wei Zhong dared not predict what the future held.

He turned back to the Nine Provinces Realm to cultivate and restore his strength.

As time went by, with the help of cultivators from the Nine Provinces Realm, and even Wei Zhong.

The human race in the Nine Provinces entered a period of even more rapid development.

Old cultivators are forced to ascend to the Immortal Realm due to the tribulation of ascension, but new Mahayana cultivators are constantly emerging.

In just over ten thousand years, the Nine Provinces Realm had gathered the thirty-six Mahayana cultivators that Wei Zhong estimated.

As the thunderclouds in the sky dissipated, the 720th Dao Integration Master was born.

Wei Zhong looked at the Nine Provinces Cauldron in front of him. It was enormous, and Wei Zhong, standing normally in front of it, looked as small as an ant.

The scenes of birds, beasts, insects, and fish on the body of the tripod became increasingly numerous.

What surprised Wei Zhong even more was that, against this backdrop, the image of a deity took shape from within.

Its form is indistinct, resembling both a sun and a seated deity.

Wei Zhong immersed his divine sense into it, only to find that these immortals and gods did not possess any intelligence.

No matter how Wei Zhong called out to him, he did not respond; he simply obeyed Wei Zhong's orders and performed the corresponding actions.

"Is it the will of the world, or the manifestation of the will of the entire Kyushu?"

Wei Zhong, unaware of the danger, wanted to continue investigating when he suddenly sensed the world trembling.

Consciousness spread throughout the entire Kyushu and extended into the void.

Looking from the outside, one immediately discovers that Kyushu has broken away from the established boundaries of the Middle Thousand Worlds and is flying towards the Immortal Realm.

"This...the world has reached the Spirit Realm Point and is ascending autonomously?"

The last time it flew into the human realm, it was because Wei Zhong wanted it to merge with the demon realm, so he manually controlled the direction.

This ascension from the Middle Thousand Worlds to the Great Thousand Worlds is unique in the Immortal Realm, with a clear direction, requiring no action from Wei Zhong.

Watching the Nine Provinces Realm rapidly advance through the void, Wei Zhong felt a mixture of anticipation and worry.

"If I ascend to this realm, will my power grow stronger? Will it attract other troubles from the immortal realm?"

Wei Zhong was filled with mixed feelings, watching helplessly as the Nine Provinces moved closer to the Immortal Realm.

It is unknown how long it has been traveling, but at a certain moment, the Nine Provinces Realm came into contact with the barrier of the Immortal Realm.

The collision of the two worlds has triggered numerous strange phenomena.

Above the Nine Provinces Realm, the void cracks stretched endlessly, as if the world had been torn open.

The cave was chaotic and awe-inspiring.

Among them, immortal energy swept away the dust, gradually flowing into the interface.

The celestial realm is no less impressive.

Outside Moyuan Immortal City, phenomena suddenly occurred: mountains collapsed, the earth cracked, and auspicious clouds appeared in the sky.

It attracted many cultivators to go there.

"A secret realm has appeared again!"

Although no one could enter the Nine Provinces, through mere external exploration, the cultivators knew the opportunity represented by this strange phenomenon.

Immediately, a large number of cultivators arrived upon hearing the news, attempting to open the entrance to the secret realm.

Wei Zhong was completely unaware of this at the moment, as he was immersed in the boundless power brought to him by his ascension to the Nine Provinces Realm.

Ascending to the Middle Thousand Worlds, he indeed received the blessings of the Great Thousand Worlds, just as Wei Zhong had envisioned.

This power of destiny is incredibly rich, and it even carries the aura of the Heavenly Dao River of the Immortal Realm.

Everything was incorporated into the Nine Provinces Cauldron by Wei Zhong. It was then absorbed, refined, and separated by the immortals and gods within the cauldron.

Wei Zhong then used only the purest source power, striving to avoid any entanglement with the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Realm.

The nascent immortals within this cauldron became Wei Zhong's filter.

With the latter's assistance, Wei Zhong's strength increased rapidly. In just a few years, Wei Zhong surpassed the strength of the original separated homologous body, and his strength increased again, more than tripling.

After Wei Zhong successfully absorbed and refined all of this, his face was filled with joy and surprise.

"No wonder so many Taiyi want to get their hands on the Middle Thousand Worlds."

"Such assistance is truly too powerful; it would be a simple matter to help him break through to the Great Luo realm."

Wei Zhong was amazed by the power of the world's blessings.

Standing up from before the Nine Provinces Cauldron, he probed the situation inside. The immortal spirit, having undergone this journey, possessed an even stronger aura, but still no consciousness emerged.

"So powerful, yet he acts like a puppet. How strange!"

Wei Zhong rubbed his chin when Da Jin suddenly leaped out and landed in front of him. It looked up at the massive Nine Provinces Cauldron with a hint of longing in its eyes.

"want to?"

The latter nodded.

"Since you want it, then I'll give it to you."

Pat the dragon's body, and the latter leaped into the air and entered.

The dragon's body coiled around the illusory body of the immortals and gods, fusing and absorbing it.

This process would take a long time, so Wei Zhong simply left.

Looking again at the borders of the Nine Provinces, they discovered a large number of unfamiliar cultivators.

Judging from their aura, there are quite a few spiritual cultivators and immortals among them.

During Wei Zhong's cultivation, the passage between the Nine Provinces Realm and the Immortal Realm has been opened.

Regardless of the details, the Kyushu and the Immortal Realm are now getting along quite well.

"Survival of the fittest? How could that be?"

Extending his divine sense, he immediately saw a Taiyi cultivator.

With a stomp of his foot, he landed in front of the latter:
"Zang Hui?"

Upon hearing the inquiry, the latter turned around and saw Wei Zhong's face, and immediately bowed in respect.
"Greetings, Lord of the Realm!"

Wei Zhong helped him up and learned what had happened from him.

It turns out that the reason why the Nine Provinces Realm was spared from the invasion of the Immortal Realm was because of these ascended cultivators from the Nine Provinces Realm.

"Several fellow Daoists among us have already advanced to the Taiyi realm..."

"Upon hearing that the Nine Provinces Realm has ascended to immortality and transformed into a secret realm of immortals, I immediately rushed here to provide assistance."

"We have relied on our own strength and the support from the rear to resolve the crisis in Kyushu."

"And now?"

"This is all thanks to Fairy Hua Jingzhu. She is very fortunate. Not only did she advance to the Taiyi level, but she also became a disciple of the Daluo."

"Although he is not a Grand Luo Immortal of the Celestial Palace, he is an absolute overlord in this Azure Nether Immortal Realm."

"Qingming? I wonder who this Da Luo is?"

"His title is Azure Nether Immortal Venerable..."

Having learned everything from Hua Jingzhu, Wei Zhong felt a strong sense of destiny.

"I never imagined that the preservation of my Nine Provinces Realm would be thanks to this fellow Daoist."

Thinking that he would have the opportunity to repay the favor in the future, Wei Zhong set his sights on Da Jin.

The message was sent throughout the Nine Provinces, instructing cultivators there to practice the dragon-shaped divine statue to aid the Great Jin in its cultivation.

Wei Zhong wandered the Immortal Realm, appearing multiple times in the Thunder Immortal Palace and other realms of the Immortal Realm.

The increase in power filled Wei Zhong with a sense of unreality, so he deliberately concealed his identity and sought out several Grand Luo Immortals to test his own strength.

They won more than they lost. Only Wei Zhong, a top-tier veteran of the Immortal Palace, was temporarily outmatched. The others were no match for him.

Having completed his self-examination, Wei Zhong returned to seclusion for further cultivation.

This cycle repeated itself, and Wei Zhong's strength steadily increased, reaching the level of a former Primordial Immortal Venerable in just a few hundred thousand years.

There are few rivals in the Great Luo Realm, and even Wen Shao would find it difficult to compete with Wei Zhong.

This change left the latter looking bewildered, as if he were questioning his own choice of path.

He was much older than Wei Zhong, but it seems he had wasted his life all these years.

Their strength stagnated for a long time without any breakthrough.

Seeing how powerful Wei Zhong was, they couldn't help but start to focus their attention on the path of becoming a human immortal.

He devoted himself to cultivation, appointing Wei Zhong as the temporary leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance and entrusting him with all affairs of the alliance.

Thus, Wei Zhong shouldered the great responsibility and led his subordinates to frequently appear in the immortal realm.

"Leader, aren't we being too high-profile?"

The speaker was Lu Hechen. Over the years, he had finally broken through from Taiyi to Daluo realm and become Wei Zhong's right-hand man.

Wei Zhong shook his head.

Just as he was about to explain something, the sky was suddenly filled with fiery clouds.

Everyone's expression changed, but Wei Zhong surprisingly showed a smile:
"finally come!"

With one hand, he tore through space, and there stood Jiechuan on the other side.

With Wei Zhong's current strength, he can already open the Boundary River Passage in the heart of the Immortal Realm, demonstrating his extraordinary power.

After stuffing all his subordinates into the Boundary River and smoothing out the space, Wei Zhong turned to look at the figure that slowly appeared in the sky.

'Burning Abyss? What a coincidence!'

Who is this person if not the one whom Hunyuan Immortal Venerable fought?
The other party was arrogant and haughty, and the Dao Ancestor's arrogance remained unchanged.

However, the other party soon stopped being so arrogant.

Wei Zhong's strength far exceeded the latter's expectations, especially his unpredictable spacetime technique, which completely ignored the latter's suppression of the Great Dao, causing him to suffer repeated setbacks.

The humiliating experiences of the past surfaced in his mind. Burning Abyss connected with the long river of heaven and earth, intending to use the projection of the long river to completely suppress Wei Zhong.

Upon seeing this, Wei Zhong showed no panic; instead, a hint of joy and longing appeared on his face.

With a casual clench of his fist, the power of time and space was outlined in Wei Zhong's palm.

The cycle of reincarnation, the extension of calamity...

In an instant, it transformed into a long sword.

The longsword pierced the sky, cleaving the projected river of laws in two with a single strike.

Fen Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood, his expression became listless, and his body began to dissipate.

He glared at Wei Zhong with hatred, clenched his fists, but did not make any further moves. Instead, he used the River of Laws to support him and prepared to leave the area.

Wei Zhong swallowed the fragmented projection of the long river whole, then raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth:
"This little bit of food isn't enough to fill me up."

As the light that was about to disappear from the sky faded away, Wei Zhong's face turned frenzied:
"Where to run?"

Enveloping Wei Zhong in myriad mystical lights, the light transformed into a rainbow that soared into the sky, trailing behind Fen Yuan's departing tail, before entering the other party's Great Dao River.

Seeing Wei Zhong's actions, Fen Yuan was stunned for a moment, then his expression turned into a sinister grin:

"You choose the path to heaven but refuse to take it, while choosing to walk into hell when there is no way out!"

The river of laws surged and churned, and the battle between the two stirred up a storm.

However, the battle between the Dao Ancestor and the Great Luo did not end in a decisive victory as is customary.

Fen Yuan grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed, for he discovered that this mysterious cultivator's strength was in no way inferior to his own Dao Ancestor power.

"how is this possible?"

Recalling the past, endless frustration and resentment welled up in his heart, like the raging river of fire churning and an endless sea of ​​flames surging forth:

"You brat, how dare you defy my imperial authority!"
