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

Chapter 199: Shattering the Pill to Become an Infant, the Tribulation of the Inner Demon

After practicing for more than seven years, Wei Zhong's cultivation finally reached the peak of the Jindan realm.

【Name: Wei Zhong】

[Cultivation: Late Jindan Period (99th level, %)]

【Shouyuan: 556/600】

During this period, Linhai Ice Palace did not cause any trouble to Wei Zhong. It was just that when Wei Zhong went out to relieve his boredom, he was asked about some weapon refining techniques.

Since it did not involve some of the weapon refining secrets he had learned, Wei Zhong generously taught them to Zhuo Zecheng.

Miaoli Shan saw that the Linhai Ice Palace had a lot of rare spiritual materials in stock, and even exchanged a batch of spiritual materials with the thousand-year-old spiritual herbs obtained from the cave in Shuangwu Lingshan.

Wei Zhong also learned the name of this spiritual herb, Di Yanmu.

Although this spiritual medicine is not tall and looks like a small grass, Beiyuan knows that it is indeed a dwarf spiritual tree. It is rich in a large amount of spiritual energy and can be refined into a precious pill that can enhance the cultivation of the Nascent Soul, the Tianye Pill.

This pill is similar to the Peiying Pill, but its efficacy exceeds that of the other pill by 40% to 50%.

Miaoli Shan used some of the valuables he had on him to exchange for the recipe for the elixir, and then secretly handed it to Wei Zhong.

As a reward, he asked Wei Zhong to help refine a Nascent Soul magic weapon.

It was made based on the damaged magic weapon, the pipe, and was made with two spiritual materials of fire and wood attributes, and it took a hundred days to make.

Because the level of the base material is high enough, it will be a fourth-grade mid-quality product once it is produced.

When Zhu Xueling and Zhuo Zecheng saw Wei Zhong's weapon-refining skills, they became more convinced of his previous wild words.

If one has such strength at the Jindan stage, when he reaches the Yuanying stage, he will be able to independently refine a large spirit boat of the same level.

After leaving the seclusion, Wei Zhong was full of energy. Yu Rou and others were standing outside the stone chamber:
"Fellow Daoist Wei, the Palace Master and the elders are already waiting for you in the cave above."

Wei Zhong followed his instructions and came to the huge cave where the weapon was refined. Miaoli Shan was also waiting there:
"Fellow Daoist Wei, has your cultivation reached its peak?"

Wei Zhong nodded slowly and turned to look at Zhu Xueling and Zhuo Zecheng:

"As long as you two Taoist friends help me, I will be able to condense my infant in no time."

The two looked at each other and replied:
"I have already prepared it for you, but before that..."

A golden spiritual contract flew towards Wei Zhong. He took it and read the contents on it.

What was recorded was that after the other party gave Wei Zhong a helping hand, as soon as Wei Zhong's infant was formed, he would refine a strong enough spirit boat for him to take the other party and the disciples in the palace away from this place.

After a careful inspection, no additional terms or other clues were found.

Wei Zhong left his own mark on it.

The golden spiritual contract slowly dissipated in the air, indicating that the contract had been completely formed.

Zhuo Zecheng smiled lightly, and then he and his junior sister turned their heads to look at the Tianxuan Ice Flame above. The two of them pinched their fingers and cast a spell at the same time. A wisp of flame separated from it and fell into their hands.

Wei Zhong looked carefully and found that it was a round bead-shaped object with indigo flames burning on the surface.

“This is one of the secret treasures of my Linhai Ice Palace. The Xuanbing Pill nurtured by the Tianxuan Ice Flame is a special pill formed by placing a Dingling Pill in the Tianxuan Ice Flame and using a secret method to allow the Ice Flame to supply the Spiritual Pill, causing it to undergo a transformation.

"This pill is 60% more effective than the Dingling Pill in helping Nascent Soul cultivators resist the inner demon tribulation. Moreover, after the cultivator takes it, it will add a layer of ice protection to the cultivator's body, helping to resist the heavenly thunder tribulation."

"Mysterious Ice Pill?"

Wei Zhong looked at the blue elixir burning with flames in his hand with great curiosity:
'Is this some kind of secret method of using fire to strengthen the elixir, or is it determined by the nature of the Mysterious Ice Flame itself?'

Zhu Xueling threw the pill into the air, and it fell into Wei Zhong's hands.

Wei Zhong grabbed the elixir and indeed felt that his consciousness and restless mood had calmed down a lot.

“It’s really mysterious!”

"It would be best for you to condense your infant and transcend the tribulation on the spiritual vein of our sect's ruins, but you still need to wait for a while until the frost and gale barrier has wreaked havoc before you can condense your infant."

Wei Zhong nodded, agreeing with the other party's idea.

After waiting for half a year, the ruins of Linhai Ice Palace were once again hit by a strong wind.

The damage caused by this raid was even more horrific. Most of the previous low walls and broken pillars were gone.

"Although the intervals between these strong winds have become longer, their destructive power is increasing day by day. It is not a long-term solution for us to continue staying in the cave. Sooner or later, this iceberg will be destroyed by it, and the entire Arctic ice sheet will be turned upside down by it."

Zhu Xueling's voice was filled with sorrow. Miao Lishan looked at Wei Zhong with a worried look on his face. In the end, he could only say:
"I wish you success in condensing your infant!"

Wei Zhong turned around:

"Thank you!"

Then he bowed to the two people from Linhai Ice Palace, turned around and flew towards a piece of broken wall.

This is where the former Palace Master of Linhai Ice Palace practiced cultivation. The spiritual energy here is the most abundant, and even without the need for formations, it is definitely a fourth-order mid-grade spiritual land.

Sitting cross-legged, Wei Zhong began to recall his own journey of cultivation, from refining Qi, building foundation, to forming Dan, and finally to today when he condensed Nascent Soul.

He was clearly in an excited state of mind, but under the influence of the Xuanbing Pill in his hand, he seemed as calm as a still pond, extremely peaceful.

"let's start!"

The black seal in the true elixir was reflected on the surface of the body. Wei Zhong's exposed cheeks, neck and palms were all covered with mysterious black runes.

This is a more direct and powerful Gangyin enhancement than Gangqi enhancement.

Wei Zhong's physical strength at this time has made another leap forward.

"Quasi-fourth level!"

Taking a deep breath and practicing the "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Art", Wei Zhong captured all the rich spiritual energy in the fourth-level spiritual veins under his feet and the spiritual energy floating in the air around him.

It circulated wildly in Wei Zhong's limbs and bones, and was then refined into liquid spiritual power that fit Wei Zhong himself and filled his eight extraordinary meridians.

A huge cyclone of spiritual energy gathered above the ruins of the Linhai Ice Palace, with the heaven and earth as a funnel, and endless spiritual energy in Wei Zhong's body was poured into it.

When the meridians are filled, it will continue to fill the gaps in the flesh until Wei Zhong's body can no longer hold a drop of liquid spiritual power. When a tingling sensation comes all over his body, it will slowly stop.

At this point, the first step of absorbing spiritual power is completely completed.

"Thanks to the strong body forged by the "Forging Gang Method", how can an ordinary spiritual practitioner contain so much spiritual power?"

"The next step is to completely merge the spirit and the true elixir, and then break the elixir to achieve the Nascent Soul!

"Since the True Pill was shattered, I have already cut off my way back and cannot turn back. I can only move forward step by step!"

With a thought, the powerful soul created by the "God-Splitting Technique" was directly thrown into the golden elixir from the sea of ​​consciousness. A black elixir fire ignited without wind, burning the real elixir that was slowly rotating in Wei Zhong's chest and abdomen.

The elixir fire is born from the real elixir, and when it breaks, it is borrowed from its hands.

After a long time, I don’t know if it was because the effect of the Gangyin was too strong, no matter how the pill fire burned, the black true pill showed no signs of breaking. Even if Wei Zhong took the initiative to drive the true pill to break, there was no reaction at all.

"broken!"

Wei Zhong never expected that one day, the means of enhancing his own strength would become an iron chain that prevented him from breaking through.

Seeing that his physical body was about to be unable to withstand the huge amount of spiritual power, Wei Zhong became ruthless and another wisp of black flame emerged from the side of the true pill.

【Golden Flowing Flame】, fourth order spiritual fire level.

With the master-level proficiency, Wei Zhong could control this fire freely, and it was no less flexible than the Dan Fire. With this help, Wei Zhong finally felt the Zhendan's slackness.

While being burned by the two flames, Wei Zhong didn't know how long he had been waiting. Suddenly, his consciousness trembled and an instinctive fear came from the bottom of his heart.

"Kacha!"

A crack appeared on the black true pill, destroying the mysterious pattern formed by the Gang Seal.

Like a collapsing riverbank, one crack is followed by a second, a third, and so on...

Cracks continued to appear on the true elixir.

As it disintegrated, a mysterious black and white light seemed to emerge from inside the real pill.

Boom!

The foundation of the Jindan that Wei Zhong had cultivated for hundreds of years was finally shattered. The impact force when the Jindan was completely shattered swept through Wei Zhong's body and also impacted Wei Zhong's soul.

Wei Zhong couldn't help but cover his head, his expression was already distorted to the extreme.

As the true elixir in the body disintegrated, the mysterious black and white spiritual light finally appeared, like a nebula, with black and white colors blending and rotating.

Absorbing the huge spiritual power stored in Wei Zhong's body.

The pain dissipated, and Wei Zhong's consciousness seemed to have detached from reality, constantly wandering in the nebula, as if he was in a warm ocean, gradually ushering in a new life.

The black and white nebula gradually became more solid, and finally formed a baby-like entity, with a head and a torso...

The nebula gradually shrank back like stacking blocks, and the baby entity finally became complete.

Wei Zhong's consciousness instantly awakened, and his Nascent Soul opened his eyes, looking at the scattered black and white nebulae around him, and opened his mouth to suck them all in. As if he had taken a tonic, the baby's body gradually grew, and finally stopped at a size of three inches.

He has a young face and is naked, looking like a smaller version of Wei Zhong.

"I have been reincarnated here and practiced for three hundred years, and finally achieved the Nascent Soul stage."

With a gentle flick, a piece of clothing made of Gangyins was put on the Nascent Soul.

This is one of the characteristics of "The Method of Refracting the Gang". When the elixir is formed, the Gang seal protects the real elixir. After the infant is condensed, the Gang seal protects the primordial infant.

As soon as the Nascent Soul closed its eyes, Wei Zhong's physical body in the outside world opened its eyes.

"The Nascent Soul has been formed, so the next step is the inner demon tribulation and the heavenly thunder tribulation!"

With a throw of his right hand, Wei Zhong swallowed the Xuanbing Pill into his mouth, which went straight to his chest and abdomen, and then turned into a ball of blue light and slowly dissipated.

Integrate the Nascent Soul in the body and the physical body outside.

Wei Zhong's consciousness suddenly sank and he lost all perception of the outside world.

"The inner demon calamity is coming!"

……

Wei Zhong opened his eyes, a smile lingering on the corners of his mouth:

"How can a mere Nascent Soul tribulation stop my desire to seek the truth!"

With a long laugh, Wei Zhong flew into the air, facing the condensed Nascent Soul thunder tribulation.

The golden umbrella flew out, and Wei Zhong successfully survived the nine thunder tribulations. The black clouds opened up, as if the tribulation had passed, the dark clouds dissipated, and the sky was about to appear.

But the rumbling sound coming from it made Wei Zhong's face change drastically.

When the black clouds dispersed, the scenery inside was revealed. It was not the sky after the dark clouds dispersed, but a pool of five-colored thunder. A silver thunder dragon was entrenched in it. It slowly opened its eyes and glimpsed the tiny humans below.

Open your mouth wide, and your voice will be like thunder:
"Thief!"

Wei Zhong only noticed a flash of light in front of his eyes, and before he could react, the thunder dragon had already arrived in front of Wei Zhong, stretched out its five claws, and stabbed directly into Wei Zhong's chest and abdomen, easily breaking through his flesh and grabbing out a three-foot-long black and white Yuanying.

The lightning in their claws was activated and they all attacked Wei Zhong.

"what!"

The pain that touched his soul rose up, and Wei Zhong felt that he was about to be completely torn apart by the thunder.

At this moment, a ray of blue light suddenly appeared above the Nascent Soul, as if a basin of cold water was poured into Wei Zhong's heart.

All the pain in Sumeru disappeared, and the three-foot Yuanying raised his head, only to see that the five claws of the thunder dragon were slowly frozen.

The ice then continued to extend along his body, but he did not react at all to such a devastating disaster, and just kept repeating mechanically:

"Thief!"

"Thief"

"steal……"

It could no longer finish a complete sentence because the freezing had spread to its entire body, and even its noble head had become part of the ice sculpture.

Wei Zhong's Yuanying flicked casually, and the frozen thunder dragon shattered instantly, taking the surrounding environment with it.

……

Wei Zhong woke up slowly, with a bitter smile on his face:
"It turns out that what I fear the most is that abnormal lightning tribulation!"

All the scenes just now were manifestations of the inner demons, showing the most terrifying things in Wei Zhong's journey of cultivation.

When building the foundation, one is weak and worried that others will discover the secret and kill people for the treasure.

When he sensed the strange thunder tribulation during the Jindan period, he realized that cultivator enemies were not to be feared, but the strange things in the world were the most terrifying things.

The unknown and abnormal thunder was the deepest thorn in Wei Zhong's heart during his hundred years of cultivation.

Shaked his head:

"Fortunately, with the help of Xuanbing Dan, I have finally overcome this inner demon tribulation."

Looking up at the sky, black clouds slowly condensed, and the pressure of heaven and earth emerged.

Miaoli Shan and others who were watching from afar felt a sense of depression in their hearts, and intuitively felt a strong sense of uneasiness under the suppression of this divine power.

"Fellow Daoist Wei really has a solid foundation. The tribulations of Shattering Pills and Condensing Infants and the Heart Demon are not difficult for him. Now there is only one last tribulation." He looked up at the sky, where silver lightning had gathered. "Heavenly Thunder Tribulation. Once this tribulation is passed, the Nascent Soul stage will be completely achieved."

On the other side, Wei Zhong had calmed down. He stood up and brushed off the non-existent dust on his robe.

A colorful golden bamboo umbrella appeared in his hand. After thinking for a while, he put it away and tied it around his waist.

He then picked up a golden magic sword, stepped on the ground, and rushed towards the thunder in the sky.

The powerful Nascent Soul spiritual power in his hands gathered and poured into the Golden Thunder Sword.

With the infusion of black spiritual power, Wei Zhong drove the fourth-level magic weapon with full force for the first time, and dazzling golden lightning shot out from the magic sword.

Wei Zhong swung with all his strength, as if he was holding a golden lightning sword several meters long, and it suddenly collided with the silver lightning from the sky.

When the two came into contact with each other, there was a deafening explosion, and the golden thunder and silver thunder continued to collide and disappear.

The two clung to each other, and silver lightning flowed into Wei Zhong's body. But Wei Zhong only shook the fourth-level robe lightly, and the lightning was quickly separated and turned into nothingness...
