Han Li looked around and flew to an empty space near the Herb Garden. He took out all kinds of materials and began to smelt them. Soon, he built a huge golden platform that was hundreds of meters wide.
Then, he took out all kinds of materials and began to make formation tools.
Han Li had already planned to set up the Time Spiral Formation. So when he sold all kinds of spiritual materials and treasures, he kept all the materials that could be used for the formation.
Although the Time Spiral Formation was an ancient formation and required a lot of materials, Han Li had looted the Taisui Immortal Abode and obtained countless materials. It was enough to set up the formation.
While Han Li was setting up the Time Spiral Formation, in the circular hall at the peak of Eight Desolate Mountain.
Bai Ze stood in the dark red brazier and stared at the golden flames. The flames were reflected in his eyes and danced gently.
A figure walked in from outside. It was Li Qima.
"Father, we just received a message from the foot of the mountain. Han Li has agreed to stay," Li Qima walked behind Bai Ze and said softly.
Bai Ze turned around and said, "Good. Give the order. No matter what he wants, try your best to satisfy him. Make sure he stays until the end of the Blood Sacrifice Meeting."
"Yes." Li Qima's eyes flashed and he agreed.
"Alright, go back to your work." Bai Ze waved his hand and looked at the dark red brazier again.
Li Qima hesitated and asked, "Father, Han Li is only a human cultivator. Why do you want him to stay at Eight Desolate Mountain?
If his identity is exposed and the other races find out that we've taken in a human cultivator, wouldn't that cause more trouble? "Liqima didn't leave immediately, and he hesitated for a moment before asking.
Li Qima did not leave immediately. He hesitated and asked, "Are you worried that I will harm your friend?"
Li Qima quickly lowered his head and said, "I dare not. Father, you are magnanimous and would not do such a thing."
Li Qima hurriedly said, "You treat your friend with sincerity. This is one of the qualities that a king should have.
However, to become the King of True Spirits, you need another quality, which is to know when to give up. Since you have become the King of True Spirits, you must put the interests of the race first. If you want to give up your friendship, you must give it up, "Bai Ze continued.
"Father, you …" Liqima's expression suddenly changed.
"You don't have to be nervous. Now is not the time for you to make a choice.
Furthermore, I have no ill intentions towards Han Li by keeping him in the Ba Huang Mountain. Instead, I have an opportunity for him. However, now is not the time, so I can't tell you the details. "Bai Ze patted Li Qima's shoulder and said with a smile.
Looking at Bai Ze's familiar figure, Liqima suddenly felt that it was strange and distant. He couldn't see through it no matter how hard he tried.
"Alright, there are still many things that need to be prepared for the Blood Sacrifice Assembly. You can leave first." Bai Ze waved his hand.
"Yes, your subject will take his leave first." Liqima bowed and left.
…
Half a year passed quickly.
The golden platform in the Flower Branch Space was densely engraved with countless formation patterns, and there were also formation tools placed on it, forming an extremely complicated formation. It was the Time Spiral Great Formation.
Han Li inserted the last Immortal Essence Stone into the array, then stood up and pointed at the array.
The Time Spiral Great Formation suddenly emitted waves of flame-like golden light and started to operate with a buzzing sound.
A thick golden pillar of light shot up from the array. It was a spectacular sight. The power of time in the surrounding void was affected, and the flow of time began to change.
He had a look of joy on his face. After working hard for half a year and using many precious materials, it was finally not a waste. He had finally set up this ancient great formation.
Han Li then made a hand seal and waved it through the air. Streaks of azure light shot forth, landing on the ground near the platform. These were a series of formation flags, formation plates, and other items. In the blink of an eye, an azure formation had been set up.
He then waved his sleeve and a green light flashed. A large pile of Immortal Essence Stones appeared in the green array.
Immediately, the green magic array began to hum and operate. A tornado-like green light flew out of the magic array, rolling pieces of Immortal Meta Stones into the Heavenly Time Jade Array.
Once the Immortal Essence Stones entered the array, they immediately melted and turned into pure Essence Qi that was injected into the array.
The golden light released by the Time Heavenly Jade Great Formation immediately intensified, and the golden light pillar that rose from it immediately became several times thicker and denser. Countless golden runes appeared in the light pillar, fluctuating up and down while emitting sharp whistling sounds.
Seeing this, Han Li nodded to himself and waved his hand to send out a ball of golden light. It wrapped an object and flew into the golden light pillar of the great formation. It floated there, and it was the Great Sky Sundial.
He stared at the sundial in the light pillar, and there was a flash of anticipation in his eyes.
The Great Sky Sundial was wrapped in the golden light pillar, and the golden runes in the array swarmed over and fused into the Great Sky Sundial.
The sundial trembled slightly, as though it had awakened from a long slumber. A layer of weak golden light appeared on its surface and flickered gently.
When Han Li saw this, he rejoiced and quickly formed an incantation gesture with his hands, activating the Heavenjade Time Formation.
The golden runes in the array immediately surged and gathered towards the Great Sky Sundial.
But no matter how much Han Li activated the Time Spiral Great Formation or increased the input of Immortal Essence Stones, the golden light on the surface of the Great Sky Sundial was still dim, and it didn't activate to display the power to change the flow of time.
"As expected, it still doesn't work …" He sighed.
Without the supply of the power of the law of time, he really couldn't activate the Great Sky Sundial.
It was just that the materials that contained the power of the law of time were so precious that Han Li couldn't even find one or two for his own cultivation. How could he have extra to put into the Time Spiral Great Formation to activate the Great Sky Sundial.
Only a giant sect like Truth Sect, which had a Mount Meru that contained the endless power of the law of time, could continuously supply the Time Spiral Great Formation to set up a time difference space.
He looked at the golden light that was jumping like flames in the Time Spiral Great Formation, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"How could I forget about this treasure, maybe …" Han Li turned his hand and waved. There was a flash of golden light in his hand, and an item appeared. It was the Magic Lamp of Time.
The golden flame of the Magic Lamp of Time flickered, and it emitted a strong wave of the law of time.
Han Li placed the Magic Lamp of Time on the other side of the Time Spiral Great Formation, and he chanted and waved his hand.
The golden flame of the lamp immediately flourished, and then it spun, forming a thick fire pillar that merged into the Time Spiral Great Formation.
He had been refining the Magic Lamp of Time for years, and he had become much more comfortable with it.
The Time Spiral Great Formation seemed to have taken a big tonic. It suddenly lit up, and its operation speed increased by several times. It also emitted a devouring force that continuously swallowed the golden flame of the Magic Lamp of Time.
The array pattern in the array flashed violently, and golden light balls flew out from it. There were countless golden runes flashing inside, and they emitted a strong wave of the law of time. They flew towards the Great Sky Sundial above the array and merged into it.
The Great Sky Sundial immediately shone with a golden light, and the golden needle on the sundial spun rapidly.
Suddenly, waves of golden light were emitted from the Great Sky Sundial, and it filled every corner of the flower branch space.
The flow of time in the entire flower branch space suddenly changed, and it sped up by more than 500 times. It was much faster than the time in the forbidden area of Truth Sect.
Han Li saw this scene, and he was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed loudly.
He took out the Magic Lamp of Time with the mentality of giving it a try. He didn't expect the Time Spiral Great Formation to be so powerful that it could actually extract the power of the law of time from the Magic Lamp of Time to drive the Great Sky Sundial.
Moreover, the effect of the Magic Lamp of Time was so good that it was even better than Truth Sect's Golden Mountain Meru.
After the great joy, Han Li quickly calmed down, and he chanted. He rubbed his hands and raised them. Suddenly, densely packed spells entered the Time Spiral Great Formation like a storm.
The operation of the great formation immediately slowed down a lot, and the speed at which it swallowed the flame of the Magic Lamp of Time was greatly reduced. The speed at which the green array put in Immortal Meta Stones also slowed down.
Correspondingly, the rotation speed of the Great Sky Sundial was also slowed down by 10 times, and the flow of time in the flower branch space became about 50 times faster than outside.
The Magic Lamp of Time was a third-grade fairy weapon, and it contained a lot of the power of the law of time, but Han Li didn't know how much it contained, so he had to use it sparingly.
Moreover, the power of this lamp was huge, and it was a precious treasure of his. If he encountered a strong enemy, he could rely on it to defend against the enemy, and he must not be sucked dry by the Time Spiral Great Formation.
The speed in the flower branch space increased by 50 times, which was very enough.
As for the consumption of the Immortal Meta Stones, it was also quite huge.
Han Li then looked at the Immortal Meta Stones in the array next to him, and he felt a pain in his heart.
Originally, he had 70 million Immortal Meta Stones in his hand, which was enough for him to use for a long time. Now that there was a bottomless pit like the Time Spiral Great Formation, no matter how many Immortal Meta Stones he had, it would not be enough.
Fortunately, based on the current consumption situation, whether it was the power of the law of time in the Magic Lamp of Time or the Immortal Meta Stones, there was still no problem.
Han Li let out a light breath, put these distracting thoughts aside, and sat down cross-legged. He flipped his hand, took out the Through Heaven Sword Diagram, and carefully comprehended its mysteries.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, two years had passed, but in the flower branch space, more than a hundred years had passed.
The Through Heaven Sword Diagram floated above Han Li's head, emitting waves of soft light, which enveloped Han Li's body.
Numerous sword shadows appeared on the sword diagram. Some were large, some were small, and they all had different shapes. Moreover, they flickered and changed rapidly, looking extremely mysterious.
At this moment, Han Li's closed eyes suddenly opened.
Two strange lights shot out from his eyes, and sank into the Through Heaven Sword Diagram.
The countless sword shadows on the Through Heaven Sword Diagram immediately flashed violently, and then quickly fused with each other.
In the blink of an eye, the original countless sword shadows on the sword diagram disappeared, leaving only 36 sword shadows on it, gently trembling.
When Han Li saw this scene, a trace of joy appeared on his face.
After a hundred years of meditation, he finally had a preliminary understanding of this Through Heaven Sword Diagram.
Han Li immediately let out a light breath, suppressed the joy in his heart, and made his state of mind maintain absolute calmness. At the same time, he formed a hand seal and pointed.
Golden lightning flashed on his body, and the 36 Green Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords flew out.
Seemingly affected by the Through Heaven Sword Diagram, the 36 Green Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords shone brightly, and thick golden lightning automatically rose from the swords, shooting in all directions.
Han Li ignored the overflowing sword Qi and lightning, and formed a hand seal and pointed.
The 36 Green Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords flew to the Through Heaven Sword Diagram, and fused with the 36 sword shadows on the sword diagram.
