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

Chapter 129 Divine Hiddenness
Song Linfang tried to persuade him again, but Wei Zhong remained unmoved.

Seeing this attitude, Song Linfang couldn't help but think of Wei Zhong's unique style as a casual cultivator.

'Master Wei has practiced for a hundred years without moving. He is really as cautious as the saying goes.

But this is indeed in line with the style of the alchemist. With his superb alchemy skills, what resources can't he collect?'

"In that case, let's stop exploring the secret realm together. If Fellow Daoist Wei doesn't want to, I won't force him."

Turning to look at Ling Ziwei, he continued:
"But I'll have to trouble Fairy Ling to repair our sect's protective formation."

Ling Ziwei nodded:

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Song. I will do my best."

After a discussion among the few people, Ling Ziwei said hello to Wei Zhong and then followed Song Linfang and the others to Gang Palace.

Wei Zhong looked in the direction where the few people left, his eyes flickering.

'I'm afraid it's impossible for Song Linfang to give up that dangerous secret place so easily.

Since he can't find Ling Ziwei to help, he will probably seek help from others.

There are only a handful of well-known formation masters in Luohe Prefecture, so would the other party ask Yunzhou City for help?

However, those high-level formation masters all belong to large forces. If they knew about the precious resources that may exist in the secret realm, I wonder how much they would leave for the Zhigang Palace.

Song Linfang's move was also a risky one.

After thinking about it, Wei Zhong put the matter behind him.

'It's just a small secret place at the highest level of the Infant Realm. It's not worth the risk.'

With the resources Wei Zhong currently has, there will be no problem in cultivating to the Nascent Soul stage.

With the restriction of his spiritual roots removed, Wei Zhong's potential increased greatly. He would no longer be unable to improve due to lack of talent and the resources at his disposal.

"If there is a chance in the future, I will wait until I reach the Nascent Soul stage and then go explore that secret place."

Wei Zhong returned to the cave and continued his hard training.

More than half a year later, Wei Zhong emerged from the empty courtyard.

"It's finally done!"

Two mysterious runes appeared in Wei Zhong's hands.

This is exactly what Wei Zhong's breath-concealing and invisibility techniques naturally condensed after reaching an unparalleled level.

“The runes are mysterious and point directly to the essence of the technique.

With these two runes, it is an excellent choice whether you are refining a robe of defense or invisibility, or a sword of attack."

As soon as he thought of this, Wei Zhong stepped into the house, and a wisp of golden flame emerged from his hand.

Taking out the Xuanming Sword, a magic sword he commonly uses, Wei Zhong planned to re-refine it and add these two new runes in addition to the flying rune.

The refining process lasted less than half a month, and the brand new Xuanming Sword was produced.

Compared with before, the magic sword now has less glow and more darkness.

If it is placed in the outside world and not carefully examined, one might even ignore the existence of this magic sword.

This is the special effect after adding the runes of concealment and invisibility.

If driven by spiritual power, this effect will be further enhanced.

When a flying sword is escaping, even a Jindan consciousness would find it difficult to detect its trace.

The only pity is that you will still be exposed when using this sword to attack.

It’s not that the runes are not powerful enough, but the material of the Xuanming Sword itself is not suitable for refining this kind of flying sword.

If there were suitable spiritual materials, combined with these two runes, it would be possible to form a true invisible flying sword.

Fly without a trace and kill the enemy invisibly!

Wei Zhong played with the Xuanming Sword for a while and then put it away.

After testing, it was found that this sword, when driven by spiritual power, has the hidden effect of avoiding detection by spiritual consciousness.

With the strength of spiritual awareness at the Jindan level, it is difficult to detect the shape of the sword unless one is fully focused. It will only be exposed when the attack is formally launched.

As for the higher Nascent Soul level, Wei Zhong couldn't help but shook his head.

"Maybe it can't be hidden!"

When a Nascent Soul cultivator attains Nascent Soul, his spiritual awareness has undergone a qualitative change compared to that of the Core Forming Stage.

Although Wei Zhong did not have the right spiritual materials to refine an invisible flying sword, he could refine a few cloaks that could make one invisible.

Wei Zhong waved his hand and took out several balls of spiritual silk and several monster skins.

The spiritual silk was collected by Wei Zhong, both the second and third levels.

The furs of monsters are obtained by hunting in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, among which the most common are wind wolf furs.

"With spiritual silk and monster fur as the main materials, and other spiritual materials as supplementary materials, plus breath-retaining and invisibility runes..."

Wei Zhong muttered something, and suddenly he thought of something and took out a strange piece of drawing paper.

This was the spoils of war that Wei Zhong had obtained from Zhu Dao Ren. It was a special paper that changed the painting on it as the surrounding environment changed. It also had the effect of partially concealing the spiritual energy.

"What effect will it have if these two runes are engraved on it?"

Just do it if you want to. Wei Zhong picked up the paper, and the spiritual power surged in his hand...
About half a month later, a piece of paper unfolded in Wei Zhong's hands.

Wei Zhong nodded in satisfaction. After refining, its hiding ability was greatly enhanced.

Although the paper is too small to cover the monk's body, it is good for wrapping and hiding some spiritual objects.

The effect is very obvious for spiritual medicines and other things that are rich in spiritual energy.

Putting it away, Wei Zhong picked up the animal skin and spiritual silk and began to refine the Shenyin robe.

Half a year later, Ling Ziwei returned from Zhigang Palace, and Wei Zhong also came out at the same time.

Seeing the other party returning, he handed a black robe to him.

"Try it on?"

The other party took it curiously and looked at the strange robe carefully.

The reason why it is called strange is that this robe is very simple. It does not have various gorgeous decorations like ordinary robes, and even the spiritual patterns on the surface are not visible.

It was just like ordinary clothes in the mortal world, except that the material was a little bit more outstanding, and it seemed to be made of some kind of animal skin.

After putting it on, Ling Ziwei's expression changed a little. There was a hint of shock on her face.

"Husband, this?"

"Don't worry, try to use your spiritual power to drive it."

The latter then nodded and injected his own spiritual power into the black robe.

Ling Ziwei's figure in front of Wei Zhong slowly disappeared, and it was difficult to detect her even with spiritual sense.

Upon seeing this, Wei Zhong nodded secretly. After testing it himself, he knew the general effect of this robe.

When this robe is activated at full power, monks of the same level will find it difficult to detect its trace, making it a truly magical robe.

After a moment, Ling Ziwei's figure appeared in Wei Zhong's eyes again.

The other party looked at the robe with great interest.

"Is this the special robe that my husband has just developed?"

Wei Zhong smiled and nodded.

"Does it have a name?"

Wei Zhong thought for a moment and then answered:

"Let's call it Shenyin!" "Shenyin, the ability to avoid divine consciousness, a good name."

“I have refined a few more of these robes, which can be divided between Linghua and you and me.

You can also give one to your brother. After all, Brother Ling has been among the casual cultivators for many years, so taking one can reduce a lot of risks."

Ling Ziwei heard Wei Zhong say this, and a hint of tenderness appeared in her eyes:
"Then Ziwei will thank her husband on behalf of her brother."

Wei Zhong smiled and shook his head.

Ling Ziwei had already put her head close to Wei Zhong and whispered in his ear:

"My dear, Ziwei got some new clothes from Zhigang Palace. Please take a look at them."

When she said this, there was a slight blush on her face.

Even with Wei Zhong's great composure, his heart was still shaken.

"New clothes, could it be the style brought from the Western Desert?"

"Come on, follow me into the house..."

······
···
Wei Zhong lay on the bed with his arms around Ling Ziwei, placing one hand on her body, feeling the delicate material of her clothes.

It really is a different flavor.

In the cultivation world with abundant spiritual energy, the materials used to make clothes far exceed those in the previous life, and the texture is naturally incomparable to that in the previous life.

After asking Ling Ziwei, Wei Zhong found out that, as he had expected, these clothes were obtained by Ling Ziwei from Nabu Yajuan.

During the time Ling Ziwei was in Zhigang Palace, Bu Yajuan, as the elder, got along very well with her.

Knowing that Ling Ziwei was Wei Zhong's Taoist partner, he shared his own collections, such as these exotic clothes.

"My husband, Palace Master Song doesn't seem to have given up exploring that secret place."

Wei Zhong stroked it gently with one hand and said:
“Normal, Song Linfang has already reached the late Jindan stage for many years and is at the critical moment of looking for the opportunity of Yuanying.

It is naturally impossible to let him give up this secret realm which may hold the hope of advancement.

But has this person invited you again?"

Ling Ziwei shook her head lightly:
"No, but I saw him taking the palace elders out many times, but when he came back, his face was not very good, as if he was a little frustrated."

"Song Linfang didn't avoid me and invited Ling Ziwei alone. She was quite sensible!"

"Then just ignore it and let it do whatever it wants."

Ling Ziwei put her arm around Wei Zhong's neck:
"My husband, are you not interested in that secret place? That is an opportunity to attain the Nascent Soul stage."

Wei Zhong laughed:
"It's just a chance to become a Nascent Soul. Don't you think your husband can't get this chance with his current abilities?"

Ling Ziwei lowered her head slightly, recalling Wei Zhong's talents.

'The third-level alchemy technique is superb, and it can almost mass-produce mid-quality or even high-quality third-level pills.

This is beyond the capabilities of most third-level alchemists he had heard of. Even among fourth-level alchemists, few could achieve this level.

If it weren't for the lack of spiritual medicines for refining fourth-level pills, my husband would probably have already become a fourth-level alchemist.

However, even if he becomes a fourth-rank alchemist, given my husband's character, I'm afraid he won't make a big fuss about it.

In the realm of alchemy, your husband can be considered a leader.

In addition, his weapon refining skills are also extraordinary. He can even refine special weapons such as the Shenyin Magic Robe. This is enough to show that his attainments in weapon refining are no less than his alchemy skills.

Your husband's talent in all arts is truly unrivaled in the past and present.'

Ling Ziwei looked up at Wei Zhong, a hint of admiration in her eyes.

Wei Zhong stroked the other person's hair:
“With our wealth, the resources for practicing in the Jindan stage are nothing.

Practice hard until you reach the peak of the Jindan stage, and I, your husband, will find you the opportunity to reach the Yuanying stage.

There is no need to take risks for the sake of that illusory secret realm."

Ling Ziwei knew that he was worried that she would be attracted by the opportunity and encounter danger. After two light hums, she closed her eyes and lay on Wei Zhong's chest.

The extent of damage to the Zhigang Palace's formation was beyond Wei Zhong's expectations, and a year of repair work did not fully restore it.

Ling Ziwei and Wei Zhong were affectionate for only a few days before they headed back to Gang Palace.

This time, before Ling Ziwei started repairing the formation, she was invited by Song Linfang to a hall.

The other party brought with him a foundation-building cultivator, who seemed to be the third-level formation master in his palace.

Ling Ziwei glanced at the other person indifferently.

This person's name is Peng Susu. She is an introverted female cultivator who wears a light green robe and looks a bit shy standing behind Song Linfang.

Ling Ziwei had communicated with him several times and was not familiar with him, but she could roughly feel that his attainments in formations were quite good.

Unfortunately, due to the limitation of his cultivation, he was unable to go further to the third level.

"I wonder what Palace Master Song wants to see me about?"

Song Linfang looked at Peng Susu behind her, who stood up and took out a palm-sized stone plate from her sleeve.

"I am a little confused about this formation, please enlighten me, senior."

Ling Ziwei took it calmly, glanced at the spiritual patterns on the stone plate, and then raised her head and asked calmly:
"Is this the formation in that secret realm? It seems to be only a part of it."

Song Linfang nodded: "Fairy Ling has a keen eye, that's true. I wonder if you have a way to break the formation."

Ling Ziwei just shook the stone plate in her hand:
“The painting is too incomplete, and no monk can do anything about it.

The formation master under the Palace Master seems to be lacking some skills. Doesn't he know that high-level formations are linked together?

Would even a small influence from the outside be enough to bring about a big change?"

Peng Susu's face flushed as she spoke intermittently:

"The formation is mostly covered up, so I can't see it clearly..."

Ling Ziwei shook her head:
“Then there is no other solution. It seems that this formation has also incorporated some psychedelic elements.

If we don't respond to the changes in the formation in real time, we won't be able to break it, let alone weaken it. If we're not careful, we might even provoke a violent counterattack from the formation."

Song Linfang frowned when she heard this. Although she had been prepared for the difficulty of this formation, she did not expect it to be this difficult.

He raised his head and looked at Ling Ziwei: "If I can't get rid of this person, do I have to ask for help from the formation masters in Yunzhou City?"
But if I share this secret realm with others, I can’t say how much of the benefits I can keep.'

"If Fellow Daoist Song really wants to break the formation, you might as well use the fourth-order formation-breaking cone, but I don't know how many you will need."

Hearing Ling Ziwei's words, Song Linfang shook her head.

The fourth-level array-breaking cone was extremely precious, and buying one would cost the Zhigang Palace a lot of money. Moreover, this array formation only required one.

"Excuse me, Fairy Ling!"

"I'm sorry I didn't help, you're welcome," Ling Ziwei returned the stone plate to Peng Susu and continued, "It will take another two months for your sect's formation to be repaired. We also need lapis lazuli, stone horn wood..."

"I will have my men prepare these spiritual materials immediately."

After the two talked for a while, Ling Ziwei said goodbye and left.

Peng Susu then looked at Song Linfang with some embarrassment:
"Palace Master, it's SuSu who is useless."

After saying this, I almost burst into tears.

Song Linfang hurried to comfort her, saying that although Peng Susu had a talent for formations, she was actually a weak person.

After comforting the other person, let him/her leave.

He was left alone in the hall and then sighed.

He called Elder Xu Xianliang and said, "I'd like to trouble Brother Xu to go to Yunzhou City."
