Twenty-five dao patterns?
A trace of astonishment flashed through Han Li's eyes. Blue light flickered in his eyes as he stared at the Wheel of Truth. He carefully counted the translucent patterns that appeared on the wheel and discovered that there were indeed twenty-five dao patterns on the wheel.
Could it be that the Eye of Truth could absorb the power of time?
However, he did not know if the additional dao patterns were temporary or permanent. If it was the latter, it was simply too outrageous.
Han Li's heart skipped a beat when he thought of this.
"It's a pity that I only have this one crystal grain. If I want to try again, I'll have to wait until next month … As for the incarnation of the Earth God, I'll have to stop for a while."
Han Li sighed and suppressed the excitement in his heart. With a wave of his hand, he recalled the Wheel of Truth back into his body.
Then, he reached into the robe in front of his chest and took out the dark green bottle hanging around his neck.
Speaking of which, this item that had accompanied him since the beginning of his cultivation was the one that contained the strongest power of time. It was also the treasure that he wanted to understand the most.
He brought the small bottle closer to his eyes and stared at the leaf-shaped patterns on the bottle. A trace of seriousness appeared in his eyes.
The Sky Wielding Bottle couldn't be compared to other items. It was his greatest secret and also his most important treasure. Although the incident with the crystal grain didn't result in any negative consequences, it still made him feel somewhat worried. If something happened to the Sky Wielding Bottle, then it wouldn't be worth it.
After thinking about it again and again, he decided to give it a try. Firstly, he wanted to understand the origin of the Sky Bottle. Secondly, he did not believe that such a high-grade treasure could be easily damaged.
After making up his mind, Han Li placed the small bottle on the ground in front of him. He activated the Eye of Truth and looked at the bottle.
He saw the golden vertical eye shoot out a faint golden light that sprinkled on the dark green bottle. The bottle immediately trembled slightly and floated up. It hung in the air and slowly rotated.
Han Li's body was tense and his face was full of anxiety. He used the Eye of Truth to stare at the small bottle without moving.
At this moment, there seemed to be a rice-grain-sized white light shining inside the small bottle, illuminating the small bottle from the inside to the outside. It made the leaves on the bottle look emerald green, as if they were real.
Just as Han Li thought that a projection was about to appear, the light from the small vial suddenly turned dark green. It was as if a deep vortex had appeared, directly devouring the light from the golden vertical eye.
He was startled and was about to close his vertical eye when he found that the small bottle only had this reaction. There were no other changes.
After waiting for a short while, Han Li heaved an internal sigh of relief upon seeing that nothing out of the ordinary had taken place. After a brief moment of contemplation, he activated the immortal spiritual power within his body again, activating the ball of dao patterns that had just appeared.
Twenty-five Dao patterns lit up at the same time. The golden vertical eye glowed brightly again as it looked at the Sky Bottle again.
But this time, something unexpected happened.
The dark green light on the surface of the small bottle flashed fiercely. After it swallowed the golden light, a green light shot out from the bottle towards the golden vertical eye.
Han Li was shocked when he saw this. This green light didn't seem fast, but he didn't know why he felt that he couldn't stop it.
As a result, the green light landed on the golden vertical eye silently and dyed it emerald green. This caused the entire Wheel of Truth to shake violently. The golden light that it emitted began to distort and become blurry. It actually became a little unstable.
It seemed like the entire treasure wheel was going to collapse in the next moment.
When Han Li saw this, he quickly wanted to stop the treasure wheel. As a result, his expression changed. This was because the treasure wheel produced a devouring force out of thin air and was desperately sucking the Celestial Spiritual Energy in his body. It was endless and there was no way to stop it.
He secretly complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to stop.
This was because as the Celestial Spiritual Energy continued to pour into the treasure wheel, the frequency of the treasure wheel's shaking became calmer. This made him slightly relieved.
After the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, when Han Li's Celestial Spiritual Energy was absorbed by two-thirds, the treasure wheel finally stopped shaking and calmed down. The green light on the surface also dissipated.
At this moment, the Eye of Truth was also forcefully closed.
Han Li secretly let out a sigh of relief. After seeing that the treasure wheel and the Eye of Truth were fine, he put the Wheel of Truth back into his body with some lingering fear. Then, he quickly grabbed the small bottle in his hand and carefully checked it several times. After confirming that there was no damage, he was completely at ease.
"Looks like I've been underestimating you. You're fine, but you made me suffer a loss.
However, when the Eye of Truth improves in the future, I can boldly try it again. "Han Li rubbed the small bottle in his hand and muttered to himself with a bitter smile.
After a long while, he put away the small bottle and sat cross-legged again. He closed his eyes and the image of the stone tablet in the secret realm reappeared in his mind. The Three Fold Mantra Reincarnation Scripture's mnemonic was recorded on it.
Needless to say, the mnemonic of the first layer was already well understood by Han Li. He carefully checked the second and third layers of the cultivation method with his Divine Sense. He wanted to try to find the answer from them. He wanted to see if there was more content related to the Eye of Truth recorded in the last two layers of the cultivation method.
He sat like this for seven days and seven nights.
During this time, he carefully read the last two layers of the cultivation method.
In the end, he found nothing. Except for the related content recorded in the Eye of Truth, the rest of the cultivation method didn't mention more about the Eye of Truth.
Han Li slowly opened his eyes, stretched, and stood up from the ground.
Although he didn't find the answer he wanted, he didn't look disappointed at all. Instead, there was a hint of joy in the depths of his eyes.
This was because he had called out the Mantra Treasure Wheel several times when he was reading the cultivation method. As a result, he found that the twenty-fifth time pattern was still there. There were no signs of it fading. Like the other twenty-four patterns, it flashed as the treasure wheel rotated.
Moreover, he could feel that the speed of the flow of time within the range of the golden ripples emitted by the wheel had a faint increase. Although it wasn't much, it was real.
In other words, the time pattern that was born after the Eye of Truth absorbed the crystal particle condensed from the Sky Bottle was very likely to be permanent. Of course, if he wanted to completely confirm this, he would need to spend more time to observe.
But in any case, this discovery made him very excited.
In addition, he didn't have no other gains. When he checked the third layer of the cultivation method, he found an unexpected surprise.
In the third layer of the mantra, there was a technique called "True Wheel Reversal". Once it was mastered, it could unleash a function that was completely opposite of the original effect of the Mantra Treasure Wheel. It could turn deceleration into acceleration.
However, when this technique was used, it didn't work on the enemy. Instead, it worked on the user himself. According to the description of the cultivation method, the user needed to absorb the Mantra Treasure Wheel into the body and reverse it. Thus, the flow of time in the body would instantly speed up and achieve the goal of increasing one's speed.
If one wanted to use this technique, there was a prerequisite. The prerequisite was that the Mantra Treasure Wheel must condense 18 or more Dao patterns. It didn't seem to have much to do with the cultivation method's level.
It was just that according to the original Mantra Transformation Scripture, it was only possible to condense 18 Dao patterns after mastering the third layer of the cultivation method. In other words, it was naturally impossible to use the second layer of the cultivation method.
However, he had condensed a total of 25 Dao patterns. Logically speaking, he should be able to try to use the True Wheel Reversal.
Because of this, he originally planned to go into closed-door cultivation to cultivate the second layer of the cultivation method. Now, he naturally decided to temporarily put it aside and cultivate this technique first.
After all, if this technique was successful, his strength would immediately increase greatly!
Thinking like this, Han Li once again sat cross-legged on the spot and closed his eyes.
After adjusting himself for a few days and adjusting his body to its best state, Han Li once again entered into closed-door cultivation.
The True Wheel Reversal was easy to say, but it wasn't easy to cultivate.
Because it was completely opposite to the original circulation method of the Mantra Transformation Scripture, it caused the experience he had accumulated during his cultivation to be completely useless. Instead, it had become a shackle that restricted him to a certain extent.
Within the secret room, Han Li sat cross-legged while forming seals with both hands. The Mantra Treasure Wheel behind him rotated slowly and emitted a light golden light. 18 Dao patterns lit up at the same time, and waves of strange fluctuations came out from it and enveloped the entire secret room.
Right at this moment, he put his hands together, and his 10 fingers were facing each other before he clasped down two fingers. His hands turned down and formed a strange seal while waves of chanting sounded from his mouth.
The Mantra Treasure Wheel behind him trembled slightly, and the "buzzing" sound it made gradually decreased. The speed of its rotation also gradually decreased, as if it was going to hover in the air.
Immediately afterward, Han Li's hand seals changed again and he lightly spat out the word "quick".
The treasure wheel that was about to stop immediately began to rotate quickly again, but the direction was completely opposite from before.
Seeing this, Han Li was slightly happy. Just as he was about to try to absorb the treasure wheel into his body, he suddenly felt a stuffiness in his chest and a mouthful of blood gushed up his throat.
He withdrew his hand seals, and the Mantra Treasure Wheel behind him immediately shook violently. It actually returned to its original state and returned to his body on its own.
"It really isn't that easy. Just changing the circulation method of the celestial spiritual force is not so easy to master.
It seems that without hundreds of attempts and slow adjustments, it is impossible to succeed in cultivating it. "
Han Li sat up slightly and wiped a trace of scarlet blood from the corner of his mouth. He couldn't help but say with a bitter smile.
Just now, the celestial spiritual force in his body that was not running smoothly clashed with each other. If he didn't stop the circulation in time, he would have almost suffered an internal injury.
After resting for a while and adjusting the operation of the celestial spiritual force in his body, Han Li once again summoned the Mantra Treasure Wheel.
