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

Chapter 179: Origin
Ying Xian looked at Wei Zhong and couldn't tell any difference.

The inner demon has a very strong ability to hide. If it is deliberately concealed, even its own people will not be able to detect the clues.

Ying Xian was in suspicion at this moment.

"Is he a real member of the same clan hiding, or is he a blood descendant, or is he simply carrying some of the demons of my inner demon clan?"

Ying Xian was not sure.

At the same time, Wei Zhong also discovered that someone was secretly looking at him.

Looking in the direction of the sensing, he discovered that it was a disciple of the Wang family standing next to Wang Bofeng.

His face was unfamiliar and he looked at Wei Zhong with some curiosity.

Wang Bofeng was talking about Wei Zhong's deeds, as if he was introducing something.

Seeing Wei Zhong shift his gaze over, Wang Bofeng immediately pulled Ying Xian over and came in front of Wei Zhong.

"Greetings, Senior Wei. This is my cousin Wang Boshang. I look up to you..."

After boasting to Wei Zhong, the Wang family disciple named Wang Boshang bowed to Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong nodded and just responded with some polite words as a senior without saying much else.

The two of them realized that it was boring and immediately left.

"Brother, this Senior Wei doesn't seem as easy to talk to as you say!"

Wang Bofeng patted Ying Xian's head, causing his expression to darken for a moment:
"Of course. Senior Wei is a Jindan cultivator and a fourth-level weapon refiner. His status is almost the same as that of a late Jindan cultivator. He is extremely noble. Even Uncle Lihua has to be respectful in front of him.

"It's kind enough to care about you and me. What else do you want?"

"Then does my Wang family have any information about this person?"

Wang Bofeng touched the back of his head:

“Maybe there are, but they are not accessible to people like us who have established our foundation.

"However, Senior Wei is still well-known in Yunzhou City. You can find out more about him if you ask around."

"Oh?"

A hint of doubt appeared in Ying Xian's eyes. He talked with Wang Bofeng for a while and then said goodbye and left.

……

"Friend Wei's reputation is now even more famous than ours!"

Wanyan Fu couldn't help but joked.

Wei Zhong sighed:
"This is all thanks to Fellow Daoist Xun Yangzi. It really makes it impossible for me to enjoy peace."

"Alas, I mean well. You have such strength but you are confined to the outer palace and have no chance to display your talents.

"I thought you came to Yunzhou City to do something big, so I just built momentum for you..."

After hearing Xun Yangzi's explanation, Wei Zhong didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Cheng Ruirui also echoed and said:
"Senior Wei is now a fourth-rank weapon refiner and enjoys such a great reputation in Yunzhou City. He can compete for an elder seat in the Yunji Chamber of Commerce, or even a special seat."

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhong interrupted immediately:

"Hey, don't say nonsense!"

After hearing the rumors told by Yan Wanhong, Wei Zhong felt more and more that the vacant special seat was exclusively for Shan Qin.

In this drama of Wang family, she, as the eldest daughter of the Chamber of Commerce, did not come with Miaoli Shan.

This made Wei Zhong feel very strange. The other party was most likely preparing to condense the infant.

As long as he waits for his Nascent Soul to be completed, he will be able to sit on the special seat of the Chamber of Commerce. How can Wei Zhong have the nerve to compete with him for this position at this time.

Besides, he had rejected the olive branch thrown by the Chamber of Commerce leader many times.

"You only want power and no obligations? How can such a good thing happen in the cultivation world?"

Wei Zhong knew very well how important he was.

At this moment, two people fell from the sky. They were Che Kunlin, who was concerned about his younger generation, and Miaoli Shan from the Yunji Chamber of Commerce.

"Ruirui, is there any danger along the way?" Che Kunlin's concerned voice sounded.

The latter replied with a smile:

"Thanks to the help of all the senior brothers, I was able to escape danger on the road."

Then he introduced Wei Zhong and others to Che Kunlin.

After hearing that Wei Zhong was the emerging fourth-level weapon refiner of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce, Che Kunlin paused for a moment:
"Maybe I'll need your help in the future, so it's great to make myself familiar with you now."

Wei Zhong quickly bowed:

"Senior, you're welcome!"

Che Kunlin then looked at Xun Yangzi:
"How is Daoist Yuanfu?"

Xun Yangzi knew that the person he was asking about was his father, so he bowed respectfully:

"My father is doing well. At the same time, I miss the days when I drank and chatted with Senior Che..."

Che Kunlin stroked the short beard above his chin:
"I also can't forget those days. If I have the chance, I will visit Puyang's family again."

"The Puyang family is waiting for you at any time!"

After the pleasantries, the two sides started talking about the recent changes in the Wang family.

"Uncle Master, do you know that the demons are involved in the turmoil in the Wang family?"

Che Kunlin nodded:

"Although I have not fought against the demons, I have seen some traces left by them."

Xun Yangzi added:

"We have seen eight demons in Songlong Palace, and they seem to be besieging the Wang family formation master here.

"After a fierce fight, Fellow Daoist Wei killed two demons."

The two Yuanying looked at Wei Zhong at the same time, with a moment of surprise on their faces.

Wei Zhong took out the demon corpse for the two to examine.

After checking it out, both of them fell into deep thought.

"Blood Demon and Bone Demon? And the traitor Ying Xian, could it be the work of the inner demon?"

Che Kunlin said hesitantly.

"Uncle Master, what are the names of the blood demon, bone demon, and heart demon? Are there different species among the demons?"

After hearing this, Wanyan Fu looked at the two Yuanyings curiously.

Others like Wei Zhong who heard this also shifted their attention.

“Of course there are, just like our human race’s spiritual cultivation, physical cultivation, and soul cultivation.

“The demons are also divided according to their cultivation methods.

"Blood demons cultivate magic, bone demons cultivate their bodies, and heart demons cultivate their souls. Among them, blood demons have the most varied fighting methods, with endless tricks. Although bone demons have a single method, their bodies are strong.

"As for the final inner demon, it is as strange as the soul cultivators of our human race. The representative of this strangeness is the ability of Li Dai Tao Jiang to possess another body.

"According to ancient records, during the inter-ethnic war thousands of years ago, the inner demon brought great losses to our human race due to this characteristic."

"Possession, could it be that the rebellion of the fourth-level formation master of the Wang family this time was due to the inner demon?"

"Probably so."

“You must be more cautious in the future. If the person whose inner demon has taken over another’s body is intentionally hiding, he will not show any characteristics that are different from those of our human cultivators.

“Even Nascent Soul cultivators like us can’t see any clues here. Only a Spiritual Transformation cultivator can possibly catch a glimpse of the abnormality,” Miaoli Shan said with concern.

"Alas, nearly ten thousand years have passed since the war, and the demons are indeed getting restless again. The three demons have come out together and are still causing such a big turmoil. This is really the first time in these years.

"Is the great racial war about to begin again?"

Che Kunlin's face was full of worry, and he sent a message to Miaoli Shandao.

The latter just sighed:
"How can we know the right and wrong of this matter? We should report the details of this matter to our elders and let them decide.

“If things go wrong, even those seniors who have achieved the state of being gods will be alarmed.”

"Transformation into a spirit!" Che Kunlin showed emotion on his face, mixed with a hint of regret.

He has been trapped in the early stage of Nascent Soul for many years, with no hope of entering the middle stage, and the position of Divine Transformation is out of reach.

"Does Dao Dao have any idea about the turmoil in the Wang family?"

After hearing the rumors about Miaoli Shan, Che Kunlin had some doubts for a moment, but he finally answered:
"I suspect that the Wang family has some treasure related to the demons, which is why they are causing such a huge uproar..."

"According to the reaction of the Wang family's Patriarch, your guess is probably very close to the truth.

"The Wang family has suffered such a disaster, so our two families should also be careful. Don't let them be broken into like the Wang family..."

Miaoli Shan kindly reminded.

Che Kunlin nodded:

“Speaking of which, even Yunzhou has suffered such a disaster, wouldn’t the demon sect in Fengzhou be even more turbulent?
"After all, when it comes to the treasures of the demon race, those demon sects have far more than we do."

……

After hearing the two people's description of the species of demons, Wei Zhong became even more confused about the piece of leather in his hand.

"What on earth is this thing that can restrain the demons so well?"

While thinking, I was interrupted by a voice:
"Friend Wei, can this demon corpse be given to my Shadow Moon Sect?"

Wei Zhong came back to his senses, bowed and said:

"Senior Che, feel free to take it if you want. It is useless to me anyway."

"Thank you very much!"

After saying this, he cut the demon corpse, of which only the head had fallen off, into two halves from top to bottom and took one of the two.

He looked again at the bone demon's corpse that was cut in half by Xun Yangzi's treasure fan, and also took away half of it.

After receiving half of each demon corpse, Che Kunlin suddenly took out something and threw it to Wei Zhong:

"This little thing, consider it as a gift from me to you, my friend."

Wei Zhong looked at the thumb-sized jade in his hand with some confusion.

I heard Miaoli Shan's message:
“This is soul-nourishing jade, and its grade is probably between the third and fourth grades. The red marks inside it indicate that it has some fourth-grade properties, making it much more valuable than the average third-grade soul-nourishing jade.

"For you to practice the Divine Splitting Technique, it is a well-deserved divine treasure."

After listening to Miaolishan's explanation, Wei Zhong connected this piece of jade with the low-level soul-nourishing jade he had seen before.

Bowing to Che Kunlin in thanks:
"Thank you for the generous gift, senior!"

The latter simply chuckled and then started chatting with his younger generation.

Miao Lishan came to Wei Zhong and pointed at the two mutilated bodies on the ground:

"These demon corpses are still useful to the Chamber of Commerce..."

"If the Chamber of Commerce needs it, please feel free to take it."

Miaoli Shan chuckled and put it away. Then he patted Wei Zhong on the shoulder:

"Don't worry, the leader won't let you suffer any loss."

Wei Zhong just nodded. The reputation of Yunji Chamber of Commerce still carried enough weight in his heart.

Not long after, the head of the Wang family came to Songlong Hall:

"Dear guests, I'm sorry to have frightened you all about this family change..."

After some polite words, the Wang family concluded that they were very sorry about the matter and that the banquet would be suspended for the time being and would be held another day.

The words expressed the intention of seeing the guest off in a very tactful way.

"Fellow Daoist Qingyun, you are too polite. As cultivators of the human race, we should unite as one and fight against the demonic scourge together...

"If the Wang family needs help, my Shadow Moon Sect and even the Yunji Chamber of Commerce where Fellow Daoist Miao is will not hesitate to lend a helping hand."

The three Yuanyings exchanged a few polite words, and Wei Zhong and the others also received instructions to pack up and return by boat.

A moment later, countless spirit boats rose from inside the Wang family, and then left several streaks of light before escaping into the distance.

Wei Zhong looked at the Wang Family Spiritual Land behind him. He did not feel the shock of entering the Galaxy Mirror Array, and could not help but mutter to himself:

"This Wang family is really unlucky to have suffered this demonic disaster."

Not only did they suffer heavy losses, but the Yuanying family's reputation was also ruined.

Wei Zhong could already imagine how frustrated the Wang family members would feel in front of the other three families in the future.

"The enemy came prepared, and it is reasonable for the Wang family to be defeated like this."

Miaoli Shan held a wine jug in his hand and talked while drinking.

Wei Zhong sensed the abundant spiritual energy contained in the aroma of the wine and guessed its approximate origin.

While he was slandering in his heart, he asked out loud:
"If the Yunji Chamber of Commerce can withstand this disaster from the Wang family, can it have a way to deal with it?"

Miaoli Shan shook the wine jug in his hand and replied nonchalantly:

“If the demon clan is configured this time, they won’t dare to provoke our Yunji Chamber of Commerce.

"Not to mention the support of the leader, even if the other halls take action, it will be enough to make them suffer.

"The accumulation of my Yunji Chamber of Commerce is far beyond what the Wang family can compare to."

Miaoli Shan seemed to be a little proud when he said this.

Wei Zhong continued to ask:

"How should we deal with the inner demon invading the Chamber of Commerce?"

Miaoli Shan spread his hands, looking helpless:
“Yu Xinmo, my Chamber of Commerce really doesn’t have a very good solution.

“But don’t overestimate it. The inner demon’s abilities are indeed strange, but they are not invulnerable.

"Take Ying Xian, who replaced the Wang family's fourth-level formation master, for example. He is only at the Jindan level. He is far inferior to the Wang family's Yuanying level. Why did the inner demon choose this person instead of Wang Qianxi or Wang Yonghong?"

"The inner demon is just not strong enough."

"Right, right, right. The inner demon taking over another's body does not ignore the level. If you want to replace someone, it depends on the strength of both parties.

"And even if they are at the same level, it is not that easy to possess someone else's body. The stronger the consciousness, the more difficult it is for the inner demon to possess someone else's body.

"As you have practiced the "Spiritual Splitting Technique", your spiritual power is far superior to that of your peers, which makes you a tough nut to crack in the eyes of the inner demon."

"What about the Nascent Soul stage? There are many seniors in the early and middle stages of the Nascent Soul stage, right?"

Miaoli Shan gave Wei Zhong a strange look, suspecting that the other party was hinting at him.

"The name "heart demon" is not groundless. The higher the level, the more difficult it is to take over the body. It can only affect the cultivator's mind.

"For example, when monks are fighting or breaking through barriers...

"It is said that nearly ten thousand years ago, our human ancestors suffered losses due to this reason."

"I see."

No wonder there is such a strange name as the inner demon. It really has some of the effects of the inner demon in the "inner demon calamity".

Thinking of this, Wei Zhong simply took out the piece of silver-white leather:

"Senior Miao, do you recognize this thing?"

The latter took it and looked at it. His expression changed for a moment, and he looked up at Wei Zhong:
"Where did you get this thing?"

Wei Zhong could only briefly talk about the time when he was besieged by the robbers.

"You are really lucky to have obtained this item in the Qi Refining Stage."

Miaoli Shan had a hint of envy in his eyes:
"This is a piece of skin from a Heart Demon. Judging from its quality, it is very likely from a fourth- or fifth-level Heart Demon, and it is the piece on the head."

Wei Zhong looked surprised:

"So it was suppressed by its own kind. No wonder the bone demon was suppressed and unable to move by this vibration."

“This is a good thing. If there are enough spiritual materials, it can be refined into a divine consciousness magic weapon. Not only is it effective for our human cultivators, it is also an excellent exorcist treasure.

"More importantly, with this item in hand, I can disguise myself as a member of the Heart Demon Clan."
