"No more … I only have this one, I wanted to keep it and slowly study it myself … but this thing is too evil, I can't control it at all, it's better to give it to senior." The pig pig beast lowered its head and said obediently.
A faint smile appeared on Han Li's face upon hearing this, and he flicked a finger to toss another pill toward him.
The pig pig beast was overjoyed, it immediately swallowed the pill, its body flickered with light again, its aura grew slightly stronger.
"Go.
Don't tell anyone about the situation here. "Han Li said plainly.
The pig pig beast hurriedly nodded, it turned around and flew back to the sea surface, swimming away.
Han Li watched as the beast left, he pondered for a while before taking out a light red jade box.
This box was made from a special warm jade, it was smooth and warm to the touch, it emitted a warm aura.
He put the black stone into the box, the black light shone on the walls of the warm jade box, it was intact.
Han Li put the jade box away, he dispersed the membrane of true extreme on his palm and returned to the cave abode.
He did not return to the secret room, he went to a corner of the herb garden, the area where the mother beans were planted.
These years, in order to try to open his thirty-sixth immortal aperture, he had been fully focused on cultivation, he did not split his attention to condense crystal particles. Because he did not lack Myriad Wheel Pills, he ordered the giant ape puppet to use the green liquid to mature the mother beans.
Han Li's eyes lit up as he looked around.
He saw that the female bean had already sprouted, growing a few tender roots, and a slender, tender green sprout stretched out from the spiritual soil.
Although it was only a small sprout, it gave off a strong life force.
He carefully observed the sprout, it was the same as the previous one, there were blurry golden patterns growing on the two leaves.
Han Li showed a trace of joy, he nodded.
He had been studying the dao soldier nurturing method that Hu Yan I gave him, he had some experience in nurturing bean type dao soldiers, he was not as clueless as before.
The hardest and most time-consuming part of nurturing bean soldiers was to make the mother beans germinate.
As long as the female beans germinated, it would be considered half a success. After that, as long as they were nurtured properly, they would soon be able to produce another batch of bean soldiers and obtain more female beans.
With this in mind, Han Li observed the condition of the female beans for a while longer before leaving the herb garden and heading towards the secret chamber.
After turning a corner, he looked towards a tightly shut room in front of him.
Come to think of it, Daoist Xie had been in seclusion for several centuries just like him, and there were still no signs of him emerging.
He withdrew his gaze, walked into the secret chamber, and sat down cross-legged. He took out the Anicca Alliance mask, activated the restriction, and opened the mission interface.
There was still no response to the Dew Grass quest.
He had already expected this. After a sigh, he issued two more missions.
One was to find the complete version of the Great Cosmic Star Art, and the other was to identify the Black Stone he had just obtained.
For some reason, this item gave him a very special feeling.
After finishing this, Han Li sat in silence for a moment. He then summoned the giant ape puppet and took the Sky Bottle from its hands.
A drop of green liquid condensed within the bottle and rotated gently.
He gently shook the Sky Bottle before placing it beside him and making a hand seal.
Buzz!
Golden light erupted from Han Li's body as the Mantra Treasure Wheel appeared behind him and rotated gently.
On the treasure wheel, translucent time dao patterns flickered with extreme agility, emitting waves of the power of time laws.
He made a hand seal and the Mantra Treasure Wheel flew up from behind him and landed in front of him.
There were now more time dao patterns on the wheel than before, reaching a total of 130.
Back when he was still at the mid-stage True Immortal stage, he used the time crystal to increase the number of time dao patterns on the Mantra Treasure Wheel to 108. After that, when he opened his immortal aperture again, the Mantra Treasure Wheel no longer added new time dao patterns, as if it had reached its limit.
Now that he had reached the late-stage True Immortal stage and opened 11 immortal apertures, the number of time dao patterns on the treasure wheel had increased again.
In that case …
Han Li picked up the Sky Bottle beside him and injected his immortal spiritual energy into it.
Rumble!
The heaven and earth spirit energy around the cave abode immediately surged violently, forming a huge spirit energy whirlpool. The heaven and earth spirit energy turned into countless sparkling light rays and gathered inside.
The void trembled, and violent winds were set off, while the sea waves surged violently.
The shocking phenomenon lasted for three days before dissipating.
Inside the cave abode, Han Li condensed a crystal grain in his hand and looked slightly exhausted.
With his current immortal spiritual energy, it was much easier for him to condense the crystal grain, and he was no longer as exhausted as before.
After adjusting his breathing, Han Li made a hand seal. Golden light flashed behind him as the Mantra Treasure Wheel appeared.
He chanted and activated the Mantra Treasure Wheel, causing it to hum as it rotated. The time dao patterns on it shone with golden light.
A dazzling golden ball of light appeared in the center of the treasure wheel. It was overflowing with golden light and flickered continuously. Then, it turned into a golden vertical eye and looked at the time crystal grain in Han Li's hand.
"Ka!" The crystal grain shattered, and a strand of golden thread flew out, shooting into the golden vertical eye.
Han Li's body shook violently as if he was hit by a heavy blow.
The Mantra Treasure Wheel immediately vibrated and emitted rays of golden light.
After a moment, a dazzling white light appeared on the treasure wheel, and it turned into a translucent time dao pattern.
Han Li's eyes flashed with a hint of joy when he saw this scene.
Just as he expected, the Mantra Treasure Wheel could continue to use the crystal grain to increase the time dao pattern.
He kept the Mantra Treasure Wheel and handed the Sky Bottle to the giant ape puppet so that it could continue condensing the green liquid outside.
The more time dao patterns on the treasure wheel, the more powerful it would be.
After taking a deep breath, Han Li began to slowly circulate his cultivation technique to recover the immortal spiritual energy that was lost due to condensing the crystal grain.
…
Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, more than 20 years had passed.
Inside the cave residence, Han Li's body shined with dazzling golden light. The Wheel of Mantra was rapidly rotating behind him, emitting faint golden ripples that illuminated the entire cave residence in a dazzling golden light.
The treasured wheel was densely covered in dazzling Time Dao Markings, and there were 360 of them when he counted them carefully.
All these years, he had been constantly using the time crystal grain to increase the time dao patterns. However, just like when he was in the intermediate stage of the Perfected Immortal Stage, he reached a limit after increasing the time dao patterns to 360, and he couldn't increase it anymore.
Han Li made a hand seal, and countless golden ripples appeared and spread towards the surroundings.
The golden ripples were much brighter than before, and they almost condensed into a substance.
Within the range of the ripples, everything was still.
The air stopped flowing, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth didn't fluctuate at all. Everything seemed to be frozen.
Han Li felt the changes in his surroundings and nodded.
At this moment, within the range of the golden ripples, time flowed much slower. He estimated that it was about 3000 times slower.
He waved his hand, and the golden light emitted by the Mantra Treasure Wheel dissipated and fused into his body.
With the increase of time dao patterns on the Mantra Treasure Wheel, the immortal spiritual energy consumed to execute this sacred art also increased greatly. Even with his advanced stage of the Perfected Immortal Stage, it was still a little strenuous for him.
Han Li took a deep breath before sitting down with his legs crossed.
With the increase of time dao patterns on the Mantra Treasure Wheel, not only was its power enhanced, the power of time imbued within it had also increased significantly. With just a slight activation of the Mantra Treasure Wheel, enormous power of the laws of time would surge out from within it.
With the abundant power of time on the Mantra Treasure Wheel, perhaps he wouldn't even need the help of a dao core to comprehend the laws of time?
With that in mind, he flipped his hand and consumed a pill before closing his eyes again.
Half a day later.
Rumble. The space within his seclusion secret chamber began to tremor, and even through the restriction, one could vaguely see streaks of golden light emanating powerful fluctuations of the power of time.
Right at this moment, golden light flashed incessantly from the stone door of Daoist Xie's seclusion chamber.
A dull rumble sounded, and the door slowly opened.
Daoist Xie slowly walked out from within, and his entire body was surrounded by thin bolts of golden lightning, as if he were wearing a golden veil.
Under the veil of the golden veil, his body was rather indistinct, as if he could disappear into space at any moment.
He looked into the cave abode, and his gaze soon fell on the secret chamber that Han Li was currently in. After standing on the spot for a moment, he quickly turned around and returned to his stone room.
Several days later, the phenomena within Han Li's secret chamber dissipated, and all of the fluctuations disappeared.
Within the secret chamber, Han Li sat with his legs crossed. His clothes were in tatters, and there were bloodstains all over his body, and his face was extremely pale.
This attempt ended in failure just like the previous few times.
It was as if there was some kind of power that was preventing him from comprehending the laws of time.
Han Li's brows were tightly furrowed as he made a hand seal, and azure light rippled from his body as all of the bloodstains on his body disappeared.
He changed into a new set of robes, then consumed a pill before closing his eyes to refine the power of the pill. Only after close to half a day did his complexion gradually return to normal.
Han Li opened his eyes and sat in silence, looking straight ahead.
After a long time, he sighed softly.
It seems that without the Dao Core, it is really impossible to comprehend the laws of time.
His eyes quickly became firm. He took out the Anicca Alliance mask and put it on. He made a gesture with one hand, activated the restriction, and came to the mission area of the alliance.
Han Li glanced around, and his face was filled with joy at first, but then the smile disappeared.
Someone replied to the previously issued mission, but it was not to find the Dew Congealing Grass, but to identify the Black Stone.
Han Li shook his head, but he still made a gesture and clicked on the mission.
Although it was not the Dew Congealing Grass that he was looking forward to, he was also very curious about the Stone.
A layer of clear radiance appeared on the text of the quest, and it flickered between light and dark.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the mission text lit up, projecting a beam of azure light into the secret chamber.
Where the azure light fell, a figure wearing a scarlet dragon mask gradually emerged. The number '3' was engraved with strange characters on the mask.
Han Li looked at this person, and his face was startled, but he didn't show it under the mask.
