I traveled through time and space, and I exchanged my life for krypton
#473 - A disaster
"There will be opportunities in the future. With our endless lifespans, we will be able to figure out all of this one day."
Qi Han was full of energy, while Zhou Tingxu Silver Dragon's eyes were shining with divine light, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"By the way, another person of the same level has been born in my human race. He has mastered the thunder method. I believe Brother Yinlong will be interested in it."
Zhou Ting Virtual Silver Dragon suddenly raised his head:
"The one who bullied the younger generation of my clan last time?"
"No, he is a newly promoted body cultivator. I believe Brother Yinlong will be able to sense it."
Recalling the fluctuations in the void that day, Silver Dragon suddenly realized:
"So it's him," he turned his gaze towards Qi Han, "If I have the chance, I must meet him."
The two checked but found nothing, so they both said goodbye and left.
In the Soul Transport Tower, Wei Zhong extended his consciousness and saw a large number of soul boats returning to the defense city. He flew out and muttered:
"Is the war over now?"
As he was thinking about this, the entire defense city rose from the ground, and a familiar scene reappeared before Wei Zhong's eyes.
The pentagram array above his head lit up, and five spirit general towers pulled a piece of the earth's crust and the spirit veins in it and flew towards the front line of the battlefield.
Wei Zhong looked at the scenery passing by on the outside, which gradually changed from green mountains and forests to barren Gobi, and then black desert appeared, and then turned into red sand.
An oasis appeared in front of them, with a big river flowing in it. It was the Red River Valley that Wei Zhong had seen.
The vegetation on both sides of the Red River is lush, and grows spiritual plants unique to the Red Flame Land.
The defense city extended all the way to the middle of the Red River before landing from the air and staying on the west side of the river.
Wei Zhong extended his sight to the south, and the Fiery Dragon Wood should be not far away.
However, the shadow of the giant tree that once supported the sky has disappeared. I wonder if it is avoiding the people of Kyushu.
"This time the attack was really deep."
Wei Zhong flew down and merged into the crowd.
"Brother Wei!" Ding Tianyou waved.
When Wei Zhong arrived, the latter kept looking at him and said in surprise:
"Brother Wei, have you made further progress in your body training skills?"
This was the aura that Wei Zhong deliberately revealed. Although he had not displayed the eighth-level power, it was far beyond the reach of an ordinary late-stage Hedao cultivator.
"Small progress is nothing surprising."
Ding Tianyou was astonished. He was still in the middle stage of the seventh level of body refining, but Wei Zhong had surpassed him and gone through the three realms all the way. He had gained something again after not seeing him for a few days.
Such a gap makes it difficult for the latter to aspire to compete.
Wei Zhong looked at the Jiuzhou monks who were cleaning up the mess around them and asked:
"How is the battle going?"
Ding Tianyou replied:
"Not bad, we have advanced over 7,000 miles, which is the greatest achievement in the past few thousand years.
"But although the gains are great, the price is also great."
Seeing that his face was gloomy, Wei Zhong had some guesses in his mind:
"But has anyone of the same faith been defeated?"
He nodded:
"Fellow Daoist Hu was besieged by two demon dragons of the same realm. He was unable to hold on alone. His Dharma body was destroyed, and his soul was torn to pieces by the demon dragons' sharp claws. He was completely wiped out."
"Hu Yingzhong?"
Wei Zhong recalled the first time he met the Lianxu cultivator in Taoyuan City. He practiced all the way to the Hedao and should have achieved the Great Dao in the future, but he still failed in this land of red flames.
"In addition to Fellow Daoist Hu, many others suffered misfortune, with several dead and several seriously injured. Fellow Daoist Qin was the worst offender. He was attacked by a high-level demon dragon, which broke his sea of qi and injured his soul.
“It is said that the serious injury has affected his future path.
"It should have had a bright future, but now it has suddenly encountered misfortune, which is really sad...
"The injury is too severe. There is no way to help the Western Front. General Guan has now sent him back to the rear to recover..."
"How could this happen?" There was some disbelief in Wei Zhong's eyes.
Qin Boxi is Guan Hong's disciple and has many tricks up his sleeve, but he still suffered such a heavy blow.
'It seems that this battle is more brutal than I thought.'
When the four-direction Hedao monks saw Wei Zhong appear, they also put down their work and came up to chat with him.
From these people, Wei Zhong learned more and more about this war.
"Fellow Daoist Min really shined this time. He single-handedly killed the Thunder Scythe Monster, which made us look at him with new eyes..."
"No, no, it's just a small contribution, not worth mentioning..."
Looking towards Wei Zhong:
"I have taken down the Thunder Dragon completely. Does Brother Wei need it?"
He thought that Wei Zhong, who was practicing thunder magic, would be interested in this thunder attribute demon pill, but unexpectedly, Wei Zhong just shook his head:
"No, a Skywrath Thunder Core makes me distracted, so why would I need this thing?"
Min Lingheng's expression froze: "Brother Wei, what you said makes sense..."
The surrounding cultivators spoke up one after another and told their gains, trying to exchange some good things from the alchemist Wei Zhong.
Unfortunately, Wei Zhong kept shaking his head and seemed not interested.
"A seventh-level treasure is no longer worthy of this person's attention."
This consensus was reached among all the sects.
So they each shifted their targets to other people.
In just a moment, this place became an exchange meeting for the Hedao monks.
Each cultivator took what they needed here. Wei Zhong watched for a while, then bowed and left.
He flew all the way and finally found Guan Hong who was watching the aftermath of the battlefield in the clouds.
"General Guan, please accept my condolences!"
Guan Hong shook his head:
"The path of cultivation is never smooth sailing. Bo Xi is destined to have this calamity and cannot escape it.
"But I am luckier than my peers to be able to save my life..."
The voice was distant, and gradually described the war scene of that day.
"The Fiery Dragon Wood King?" Wei Zhong looked surprised.
Guan Hong nodded:
“This demon plant is very cunning. It took advantage of the fact that I was unable to deal with other people and attacked Bo Xi, trying to shake my heart.
"Fortunately, Fairy An and Brother Deng worked together to drive it away, otherwise..."
Now Wei Zhong finally understood why the shadow in the south disappeared.
"So you're worried about Guan Hong's revenge!"
"If I see that demon plant again, I will make it pay the price."
It was obvious that Guan Hong was still angry.
The topic is getting off track:
"We have inserted the Nine Provinces' sharp blade into it, and we will have a certain degree of control over this land of red flames in the future.
"In the past thousand years, all kinds of rare treasures have appeared frequently in the Red Flame Land, but we have been unable to obtain them. Now the situation is different.
"The Taoist master has issued a document asking me to organize a team to penetrate and search for resources in various spiritual places outside. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Wei is right?"
Wei Zhong shook his head upon hearing this:
"I have other arrangements. Thank you for your kindness, Brother Guan."
"This is such a pity..."
Wei Zhong said goodbye and left.
'If I had not obtained the true essence of the sun before, I might have considered it.
"But now that I have already collected all the resources for advancement and have broken through to the eighth level of body refinement, how can ordinary treasures from the Red Flame Land be of any use to me?"
He shook his head slightly, returned to the Lucky Soul Tower, and began to ponder the refining of the Seven-Star Mysterious Life Pill.
It just so happened that outsiders learned that Wei Zhong had come out of seclusion, so they came to his door one after another, presented him with huge gifts, and asked him to make elixirs for them.
Wei Zhong dismissed most of them and only kept the monk from the Zheng family.
"Fellow Daoist Zheng is also going to refine this pill? If I remember correctly, Fellow Daoist Zheng Hesong is the only one among the nobles who has achieved the Dao?"
The monk named Zheng below nodded:
“My clan’s younger generation is not up to standard, I’m sorry to make Elder Wei laugh.
"But the ancestor once said that this pill can be the foundation of the family. If my Zheng family declines in the future, this pill can be the basis for the family's revival..."
Wei Zhong clapped the name card in his hand:
"Preparing for a rainy day is Daoyou Zheng's style.
"I have accepted the alchemy commission this time, but..."
"We understand the rules of the elders. The ancestor will come here in person with the corresponding spiritual materials and rewards soon."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The latter said goodbye and left. Wei Zhong picked up the gift on the table and saw that it was decorated with top-grade spirit stones and a seventh-level snow ginseng was placed in the middle.
"Something is better than nothing. I wonder what treasures Zheng Hesong, who has reached the perfection of the Dao, can come up with."
After waiting for half a month, a beam of light flew to Lingshan and entered the interior along the welcoming passage opened in the Yunling Tower.
"Hello, Fellow Daoist Wei!"
The two of them bowed and went straight into the main event.
Zheng Hesong presented Wei Zhong with a jade box. Wei Zhong was somewhat surprised to see the densely packed sealing runes on the surface of the box.
"Is there some kind of monstrous beast hidden in it that is sealed so tightly?"
Zheng Hesong laughed:
"Brother Wei, your words are too serious, but there are great treasures inside. You will know once you open it."
Wei Zhong puzzledly removed the seal and opened the lid of the box. A round gem inside caught Wei Zhong's eye.
It is pebble-shaped, emitting a soft light of light green, and has a perfect shape without a single flaw, just like a natural sculpture.
"This is……"
"Fairy jade, this is a treasure that only exists in the upper realm," Zheng Hesong's eyes were filled with reluctance, as if he was still regretting taking out this treasure.
"Immortal? Could it be something used by immortals?"
Zheng Hesong nodded:
"I don't know much about this thing. I only know from the few remaining ancient books that it is used by immortals to replenish their immortal essence."
"Immortal essence?" Wei Zhong stroked the fairy jade in his hand, his mind sinking into the sea of consciousness.
Lei Long poked his head out from the "Record of Time" and looked carefully through Wei Zhong's perception:
"It is fairy jade, but it is the lowest grade Qingling jade. It is only suitable for those who have just set foot on the fairy path to restore their fairy essence. It can also be used as a general equivalent in the fairy world to exchange for items..."
"So it's a low-grade spirit stone from the fairy world?"
Lei Long nodded:
“That’s true, but this Qingling Jade is much stronger than the lower-grade spirit stones. Even the best-grade spirit stones are nothing compared to it.
"Master, take it. When you reach Mahayana in the future, you can use it to quickly restore your mana. It's better than that fairy jade dew."
Wei Zhong heard it, shifted his gaze to the outside world, and closed the jade box:
"This is really a great gift. I accept it."
Hearing Wei Zhong accept it, Zheng He breathed a sigh of relief.
Fairy jade is good, but it also requires people to know its value.
"I am a little curious, how could such an immortal thing exist in this demon world?"
Zheng Hesong did not hide:
“To be honest, there was once a piece of immortal ruins in my Nine Provinces. During the mining process, we obtained a lot of treasures, and this immortal jade is one of them.
"But they have been almost all consumed over the past ten thousand years. This one of mine is probably one of the last..."
Wei Zhong looked thoughtful when he heard this.
'The origin of Jiuzhou's inheritance is mysterious, especially the "Five Elements Dao Building Sutra" that I have practiced. Could it be that it was also passed down from that immortal palace?
'But why would a common heritage drift to two completely unrelated worlds?'
"Brother Zheng, do you know where I got the Five Elements Dao Building Sutra that I'm refining?"
Zheng Hesong shook his head unexpectedly:
"The origin of this kind of inheritance is unknown, but it is not from that relic."
"Oh?" Wei Zhong was quite surprised.
“There are many methods passed down in my Jiuzhou world, and their sources are different and they are very old, so it is impossible to study them one by one.
"If you are interested, you can ask the Taoist master."
Wei Zhong nodded slightly and took the elixir needed to refine the Seven-Star Mysterious Life Pill from Zheng Hesong.
"A hundred years later, you can come and get the elixir."
"Thank you!" Zheng Hesong bowed and said goodbye.
A hundred years passed and seven silver lightning flashed in the sky above the defense city. Wei Zhong put away the Nine Tribulations Mysterious Staff and also took a Seven-Pattern Spirit Pill in his hand.
He waved and threw it to Guan Hong on Lingshan Mountain:
"I hope General Guan can pass this pill to Brother Zheng for me."
The latter nodded and looked at Wei Zhong with a hint of surprise:
"Fellow Daoist Wei, what's this?"
"I have some personal matters to attend to and need to leave."
Guan Hong thought back to the recent rumors and understood.
Farewell to Wei Zhong: "Take care on your journey, fellow Taoist."
A fish-shaped tower rose from the ground and separated from the Soul Transport Tower beside it at the same time.
Such a big commotion attracted a large number of monks to watch.
Many people had anticipated this. The clearing of the No. 1 Spirit Transport Tower a few days ago must have been for today.
Standing on the high tower, Wei Zhong bowed to the many Hedao who were bidding him farewell not far away:
"Everyone, I hope we'll meet again in the future. I hope to drink with you in the Mahayana realm!"
After saying goodbye, Wei Zhong burst into laughter, his laughter reaching the sky, and Wei Zhong's figure disappeared into the sky along with the Soul Transporting Tower.
The light escaping from the horizon, which was left for everyone to watch, had a complicated look on his face.
"I left after all!"
Wei Zhong had a high profile from the beginning when he entered the Western Front, but his presence faded in the last thousand years.
People had some expectations about this, but they didn't expect the day of departure to come so soon.
"Perhaps the next time we meet, he will have entered the Mahayana as he said."
In the Soul Transporting Tower, Wei Zhong was holding a golden seal, which was the manifestation of Liekong's true seal. A piece of news was mixed in it, that Bashan had found the clue of the Sun's true essence.
Although Wei Zhong had already raised this item, he still took this opportunity to bid farewell to the Taoist Master of Jiuzhou and went to explore the realm of Mahayana.
At this point, Qi Han did not stop him, and even said that Wei Zhong had now reached the eighth level of body refining and was free to move, and there was no difference in status between the two of them.
"But Brother Wei still needs to be careful. It has only been a short time since you were promoted. Don't mess with those eighth-level demon dragons."
Wei Zhong let go, and the golden mark disappeared:
"There's no need to be impatient. The true essence of the sun is a small matter. The most urgent thing is to survive the disaster first."
After returning to the land of a thousand lakes, Wei Zhong practiced in seclusion for hundreds of years, with a heavenly calamity brewing above his head and a vast divine power pouring down.
Wei Zhong flew straight into the blue sky, his figure rising infinitely, and only stopped when he reached the strong wind layer.
"This method of inducing catastrophe is indeed effective. The catastrophe of ascension that used to take ten thousand years has been reduced to just a thousand years."
This heavenly tribulation is exactly the first tribulation that Wei Zhong will face in his eighth-level body training.
"There are nine levels of immortal thunder tribulation, each one is stronger than the last. I will use your first one to test the waters first!"
