Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Upon returning to Qingfeng Sect, Elder Xuanfeng immediately summoned everyone to the council hall to interrogate the captured man in black robes. In the dim light, the man in black robes lowered his head, his face filled with fear and resentment.

"Speak! What other schemes does your Blood Demon Palace have up its sleeve?" Elder Xuanfeng's gaze was piercing, and his voice carried an undeniable authority.

The man in black robes trembled and hesitated for a long time before finally speaking: "We...we were just following orders to create chaos near the sect to lure you out. As for anything else, we really don't know."

Qingfengzi snorted coldly: "Hmph, still trying to hide it?" He channeled spiritual energy into his hand, and a powerful sense of oppression instantly enveloped the man in black robes.

"I'll talk, I'll talk!" The man in black robes was terrified and his face turned pale. "Our sect leader received news that there is an ancient secret manual in Qingfeng Sect that is closely related to the Five Elements Spirit Pearl. As long as you obtain the manual and the Five Elements Spirit Pearl, you can master a powerful force and dominate the cultivation world."

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this. Elder Xuanfeng frowned: "An ancient manual? I have never heard of Qingfeng Sect possessing such a thing."

Zhang Peng's heart stirred; he vaguely felt that this so-called ancient manual might be closely related to his path of cultivation. "Elder, could it be in the sect's library?"

Qingfengzi nodded slightly: "That's possible. The library contains countless ancient books, and there might really be such a secret manual."

After pondering for a moment, Elder Xuanfeng said, "This matter is of great importance, and we must proceed with caution. Zhang Peng, you know the Five Elements Spirit Pearl best, so you and Qingfengzi will go to the library to investigate."

Zhang Peng quickly clasped his hands in a salute and said, "This disciple will certainly do his utmost."

So Zhang Peng and Qingfengzi arrived at the Qingfeng Sect's library. The library was filled with an old, worn atmosphere, and rows of bookshelves were filled with various jade slips and ancient books. The two began to search carefully.

"This library is so vast, how easy is it to find an ancient book whose details are unknown?" Zhang Peng looked at the densely packed bookshelves in front of him and couldn't help but feel worried.

Qingfengzi, however, remained calm: "Don't rush. Since this ancient book is related to the Five Elements Spirit Pearl, let's start with the classics related to the Five Elements."

The two walked along the bookshelf, flipping through ancient books related to the Five Elements. After some time, Zhang Peng discovered a dusty ancient book in a corner. The cover of the book was engraved with several simple and ancient characters—"The Record of Tracing the Origins of the Five Elements".

"Senior, look at this book!" Zhang Peng excitedly picked up the ancient book and handed it to Qingfengzi.

Qingfengzi took the ancient book and gently opened it. The book recorded the origin and changes of the Five Elements, as well as various cultivation methods and mysterious powers related to the Five Elements. When they turned to the last few pages, a passage caught their attention.

"The Five Elements Spirit Pearls are wondrous objects of heaven and earth, containing ancient and mysterious power. Only by obtaining the Key of the Five Elements and breaking the seal of the Spirit Pearls can one control endless power. The Key of the Five Elements is hidden in the Qingfeng Ancient Realm, and only those with the five elements spiritual roots can find it."

"The Key to the Five Elements, the Ancient Realm of Qingfeng?" Zhang Peng frowned. "Where exactly is this Ancient Realm of Qingfeng?"

Qingfengzi shook his head slightly: "I have never heard of it either. However, since the ancient books mention that only those with the five elements of spiritual roots can find it, perhaps this is the opportunity in your destiny."

Zhang Peng gripped the ancient book tightly, his heart filled with both anticipation and worry. He was anticipating that he might soon unlock the ultimate secret of the Five Elements Spirit Pearls and gain immense power; he was worried because the Qingfeng Ancient Realm was bound to be fraught with danger, and whether he could successfully find the Key to the Five Elements was still unknown.

Just then, a commotion suddenly arose outside the library. The two quickly went out of the library and saw a group of disciples gathered together, discussing something.

"Have you heard? The sect's protective formation has suddenly started to fluctuate, as if some powerful force is impacting it."

"Could it be that the Blood Demon Palace is attacking again?"

Zhang Peng and Qingfengzi exchanged a glance, a sense of foreboding rising in their hearts. They immediately rushed towards the mountain-protecting formation. Along the way, they saw disciples looking panicked, all running in the same direction.

Upon arriving at the protective array, Zhang Peng saw Elder Xuanfeng and the other elders standing before it, their expressions solemn. The array's light flickered erratically, as if it might shatter at any moment.

"What's going on?" Qingfengzi asked.

Elder Xuanfeng's face was gloomy: "We don't know either. Just now, the mountain-protecting formation was suddenly impacted by a powerful force. This force is very strange, and we are trying to find a way to resist it."

Looking at the protective array around the mountain, Zhang Peng had a vague feeling that all of this might be related to the ancient text they had just discovered. Had the Blood Demon Palace also obtained relevant clues, which was why they launched this attack?

"No matter what, we cannot allow the mountain-protecting formation to be breached." Zhang Peng clenched his fist and said firmly, "I am willing to protect Qingfeng Sect with everyone."

Qingfengzi nodded slightly: "That's right. If we work together, we will definitely be able to overcome this crisis."

So Zhang Peng, Qingfengzi, and the other elders poured all their spiritual energy into stabilizing the mountain-protecting array. However, the impact of that mysterious power grew stronger and stronger, and the light of the mountain-protecting array dimmed more and more.

“This can’t go on. We must find the source of this force in order to solve the problem completely,” Zhang Peng said anxiously.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Zhang Peng suddenly felt the Five Elements Spirit Pearl in his hand vibrate slightly. A thought flashed through his mind: could the Five Elements Spirit Pearl be connected to this mysterious power in some way?

Zhang Peng gripped the Five Elements Spirit Pearl tightly, channeling the five elements' spiritual power within his body, attempting to resonate with the pearl. Gradually, he felt a powerful force emanating from the pearl, a force that seemed to be guiding him.

“Senior, I think I have a way.” Zhang Peng said to Qingfengzi, “I want to try to find the source of this mysterious power by using the power of the Five Elements Spirit Pearls.”

Looking at Zhang Peng's determined eyes, Qingfengzi nodded slightly: "Alright, go ahead and do it. We'll protect you."

Zhang Peng took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and concentrated all his mind on the Five Elements Spirit Pearl. Guided by the power of the Spirit Pearl, his consciousness seemed to detach from his body and fly into the distance. Finally, he saw a mysterious figure standing in the darkness, his hands constantly forming hand seals, emitting strange power towards the direction of Qingfeng Sect.

"Found it!" Zhang Peng was overjoyed. He opened his eyes and told everyone what he saw.

"It was him!" Elder Xuanfeng's expression changed drastically. "I never expected that he would betray Qingfeng Sect and collude with the Blood Demon Palace."

Zhang Peng was filled with doubt: "Elder, who is he?"

Elder Xuanfeng said with a solemn expression, "He is an elder of our Qingfeng Sect who has always kept a low profile. I never expected that he would do such a thing for his own selfish interests."

"No matter who he is, we can't let him succeed." Zhang Peng clenched his fist, his eyes flashing with determination. "I'm going to stop him right now."

Qingfengzi quickly said, "We must not act rashly. Since he has colluded with the Blood Demon Palace, his strength must be considerable. Let's go together."

Guided by the Five Elements Spirit Pearl, Zhang Peng, Qingfengzi, Elder Xuanfeng, and the others rushed towards the mysterious figure. A thrilling battle was about to begin.
