Chapter 24: The Way of Time, the Secret Realm Closed

Wei Zhong reluctantly put down the jade slip of martial arts techniques and looked at the black stone beside him.

According to the information left by Bai He, this item is a special treasure that carries profound Taoist techniques.

Wei Zhong couldn't tell what material the palm-sized black rock was made of. It was just very tough, and his soul-seeking technique did not reveal any spiritual energy.

Divine objects are naturally obscure. If placed among the mortal world, any ascetic passing by would surely think it was just an ordinary piece of stone.

"The Tao of Time" is a very special method recorded in the black stone.

Bai He once said that the uniqueness of this method surpassed his knowledge gained from thousands of years of practice, and was an important guarantee for him to be able to advance from Qi Refining to Spiritual Transformation.

This is also the basis for his speculation that "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Secrets" is not just a Mahayana conjecture.

Wei Zhong lifted it up and held it close to his forehead.

Suddenly I felt as if my head exploded, and my soul left my body and floated into the distant void.

It seemed as if I saw the chaos of the universe and the birth of the world. In the middle of it stood a stone tablet with the words "The Tao of Time" written on it.

Wei Zhong merged into it, turned into a living being, experienced birth, old age, sickness and death, and countless reincarnations. A ray of bright light continued to engrave on Wei Zhong's soul, from blurry to clear, from incomplete to complete.

It seemed like a thousand years had passed, yet it also seemed like just a moment. When Wei Zhong woke up from his trance, the complete "Time Dao Fa" had already been recorded in his mind.

Wei Zhong had never heard of this kind of inheritance method. In the cultivation world, the transmission of Dharma, from crude notes in books to jade slips of exercises, was nothing more than a simple recording and transmission of information.

This was the first time that Wei Zhong had experienced a book like "The Dao of Time", which allowed people to personally experience the way it was created, gradually taking shape and finally becoming complete.

Wei Zhong was extremely amazed after carefully tasting the Taoist magic.

Years, years, are naturally the laws of nature that are related to time.

Looking at the whole article, it is all about borrowing. Through the long river of time, borrowing from the past and the future, all kinds of power are added to the present.

Borrowing is a profound method to conceal one's cultivation level. One only needs to consume one's own magic power to lower one's apparent cultivation level.

It is impossible to see through the Taoist methods of different levels, because the cultivation displayed is indeed the real cultivation, it is just the cultivation in the past.

Borrowing the future is a method of consuming one's lifespan to temporarily improve one's cultivation realm, which can last for a full hour.

Qi refining can consume seven and a half years of life to advance to a small realm. The small realm here does not refer to the first to ninth levels of Qi refining, but to the front, middle and back realms.

It takes twelve years to build the foundation, and so on, it takes twenty-five years to form the elixir...
It roughly consumes one twentieth of the life span of an average cultivator at that realm.

If you cross a larger realm, the consumption will be doubled.

For example, Wei Zhong is currently in the late stage of Qi Refining. To perform a Taoist magic, he needs to consume twice seven and a half years, or fifteen years of life, to be promoted to the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

At first glance, you might think that this method is just so-so, but the terrifying thing is that one casting is not the upper limit.

A person can cast spells three times in a row in a short period of time, which means improving three small realms, which is equivalent to one big realm.

At this moment, Wei Zhong only needs to consume forty-five years of his life to immediately become a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building.

There are indeed cultivators in the world of cultivation who possess cross-level combat capabilities, but there are very few secret methods to improve their cultivation in a short period of time, and those are all secret methods that extremely overdraft potential and can only improve a small half or small realm.

After using it, one will not die immediately, but will soon be almost dead.

This shows the profoundness of this "Taoism of Time".

No wonder Bai He, a cultivator who has reached the state of Divine Transformation, would admire it so highly.

The only pity is that this method requires the "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Method" as the basic Taoist method to be used, which means that Wei Zhong can only watch but not use it now.

'There is indeed a connection between the Spring and Autumn Period and the years.'

Looking at the black stone in my hand, perhaps it was this thing that attracted the "Time Treasure Record", which led it to bring me to this cave. With such an arrangement, how can I wait for the destined person?
Thinking back to the vacant treasure position in the tower, it suddenly dawned on me.

Perhaps all the arrangements made by Senior Bai He were destroyed with the passage of time.

If I hadn't come here, I'm afraid this inheritance would have been lost to who knows where along with the 'Qingchuan Secret Realm'.

After putting down the black stone, Wei Zhong was not in a hurry to put the three items into his pocket, but returned to the hall.

There is an inconspicuous round bead in the corner of the hall. According to Bai He, this object is the core of this cave. If you refine it, you can use this cave for your own benefit.

The treasure of the cave heaven, even the Qingmu Sect, which is classified as a golden elixir force, probably does not have it.

Releasing his magic power, Wei Zhong began to refine this thing.

In just a few moments, Wei Zhong had successfully refined it. Everything in the cave began to appear before Wei Zhong's eyes.

The area was ten acres in size, and there were spiritual veins spreading underground, which seemed to be connected to the spiritual stone veins in the outside world. The spiritual fields above, the small courtyard, including the training room, hall, and living room in the courtyard, were all clearly visible in Wei Zhong's mind.

With a thought in his mind, the cave shrank and turned into a square mark on the back of Wei Zhong's hand. As Wei Zhong thought about it, the mark quickly hid.

Wei Zhong could sense that as long as he wanted, he could immediately enter the cave. This was a good way to avoid powerful enemies.

The only pity is that you cannot control the movement of the cave from inside, and it will be difficult if someone is guarding the "birth point".

At this moment, Wei Zhong was in the high tower, and the no-fly restriction had become invalid as Wei Zhong took away the cave.

The trip was a success and Wei Zhong left the place with satisfaction.

When I came to the outside world and looked at the spiritual stone vein in the distance, I suddenly thought:

The spiritual vein of the cave is connected to the spiritual stone vein, so is it possible to move the vein here into the cave?

As soon as this thought came to mind, the mark on Wei Zhong's right hand that represented the treasure of the cave immediately became extremely hot.

At the same time, the disciples of Qingmu Sect in the underground mineral veins discovered that the mine began to shake violently.

"Oh no! The mine here is about to collapse. All disciples should give up mining and leave this place."

Lu Yibin's face changed drastically and he issued an order.

Upon hearing this, all the sect disciples immediately gave up their work and followed the leader away.

If they were buried in the mine, with the strength of these Qi-refining monks, I'm afraid no one would be able to get out alive.

Looking at the mine collapse ahead, Lu Yibin showed regret:
"What a pity. We are about to dig into the core of this vein. That is where the middle-grade spirit stones are most abundant."

"Brother Lu, there is no need to be so. The collapse of the mine was expected. It was just a matter of time. We have mined enough spirit stones. Even the elders of the sect will not blame us."

Lu Yibin sighed, and he didn't know what he was thinking about. He finally said, "It's all fate."

Underground where no one could see, Wei Zhong watched as the treasure from the cave seemed to have turned into a black hole, sucking in a large amount of spirit stone ore.

After collecting them, Wei Zhong explored one of them and found that the mineral vein and the spiritual vein were indeed closely connected.

Not only that, the spiritual energy in the cave became more dense, and the scale of the cave also increased.

In the future, I can learn the art of moving spiritual veins and spiritual mines to increase the level of spiritual veins in the cave.

As Wei Zhong took away the spiritual ore, the 'Qingchuan Secret Realm' also changed, and a slight feeling of rejection came over it.

This secret realm is about to be closed again.
