Not long after, the Crimson Afterglow Peak lit up with various colors. Restriction arrays were activated one after another, enveloping the entire peak.
After doing all this, Han Li walked into the secret chamber of the cave abode and sat down cross-legged.
At that moment, the 72 Green Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords that he had lost and regained were wrapped in pure celestial spiritual force and slowly refined by the Nascent Fire.
They had been separated for many years, and they had absorbed so much sword essence from the flying swords in the Heaven Sword Tomb. Although their power had increased greatly, their spirituality was very heterogeneous. If he activated them directly, there would probably be a big impact, and he needed to refine them carefully.
After pondering for a while, he flipped his hand and held the Sky Bottle in his hand. He brought it close to his eyes and examined it carefully.
Now, he could basically confirm that the Sky Bottle contained the law of time.
Back in the Spiritual Realm, after he obtained the replica from Ma Liang, he could activate the Sky Bottle slightly to attack by combining the two. However, after the drastic changes of 300 years, he did not know what happened to the bottle. He tried many times, but he could not activate it at all.
Han Li pondered for a while. With a thought, the golden light on his body shone brightly, and the True Word Treasure Wheel appeared behind him.
He waved one hand, and the True Word Treasure Wheel flew to his hand and spun rapidly with a buzzing sound.
Golden ripples spread out in circles and enveloped the Sky Bottle. There was a faint trace of the power of time that could not be detected entering it.
During this period, Han Li stared at the Sky Bottle without moving.
Time passed bit by bit, but the bottle did not have any reaction from beginning to end.
Han Li pondered for a while and changed his hand seal.
The True Word Treasure Wheel shone brightly, but its size shrank rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a small golden ball and went into the bottle with a whoosh.
The Sky Bottle flashed with a crystal light, and a few faint runes appeared. However, they immediately disappeared in the next moment, and there was no more movement.
Han Li frowned slightly and sighed.
He originally thought that the True Word Reincarnation Sutra was a technique that cultivated the law of time. Since he had condensed the True Word Treasure Wheel, he might be able to use it to control the bottle or cause some changes in it.
But from the looks of it now, it didn't seem to be of much use.
Perhaps it was because his cultivation of this technique was too shallow.
Han Li shook his head, and summoned the giant ape puppet. He told it to continue condensing the green liquid while he was in seclusion, and to water the elixirs.
As for the crystal particles that the Earth God Incarnation needed to cultivate, he would naturally refine them during his seclusion to ensure that the incarnation could continue to refine the Heavy Water.
After muttering to himself for a moment, he suddenly thought of something. He went to another stone room and laid down a small Spirit Gathering Spell Formation. He placed the huge egg that he had obtained from the square plate in the center of the spell formation and let the Spirit Qi slowly nourish it. He wanted to see if he could hatch the egg.
After making all these arrangements, Han Li returned to the secret chamber and closed his eyes to meditate.
This meditation lasted for three days and three nights.
When his state of mind completely calmed down, and all aspects were in the best state, a faint golden light emitted from the surface of his body, and immediately filled the entire secret room of the cave abode.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, more than three years had passed.
The sky above the Crimson Afterglow Peak changed color, countless black clouds appeared, and the Spirit Qi of heaven and earth surged crazily, gathering towards the cave abode.
Inside the cave abode, Han Li's body was shining with golden light, and three bright golden light spots appeared on his lower abdomen, swallowing the rich Spirit Qi of heaven and earth.
He opened another immortal aperture!
In the bright golden light, the Mantra Treasure Wheel appeared behind him, and there were six groups of time Dao patterns on it.
Buzz buzz!
A powerful fluctuation of the law of time emitted from the Mantra Treasure Wheel, which was much stronger than the previous four groups of time Dao patterns.
Han Li opened his eyes, which were full of joy.
Opening another immortal aperture was gratifying, but what he was really happy about was that he had finally condensed six groups of time Dao patterns.
This was the level that ordinary people could reach after opening twelve immortal apertures of the "Mantra Reincarnation Scripture"!
According to the description of the cultivation method, the Mantra Treasure Wheel that condensed six groups of time Dao patterns would have a leap in power, and it would be incomparable to before.
He stood up, he could not wait to experience the power of this divine ability.
Han Li willed, the Mantra Treasure Wheel spun rapidly, and countless golden ripples spread out, spreading towards the surroundings, but it still only spread for a distance of thirty meters.
"Hmm, it seems that as long as I am still at the first level, no matter how many time Dao patterns I cultivate, the range of the Mantra Treasure Wheel is only thirty meters. After breaking through the second level, the range might expand." He thought, and then closed his eyes to sense.
Within the range of the golden ripples, everything slowed down.
The flow of the air, the fluctuation of the Spirit Qi of heaven and earth, became unprecedentedly slow.
A layer of blue light appeared in Han Li's eyes, and the Spirit Qi of heaven and earth in his vision immediately became ten times clearer.
At this moment, the slow phenomenon was even more obvious.
Colorful Spirit Qi of heaven and earth surged, colliding with each other like water, and then dispersing.
Everything was clearly visible.
This feeling was quite strange.
Even though everything in the surroundings had slowed down, his movements did not have any abnormalities, it was as if his speed had doubled.
His body shook, and in the next moment, he appeared several meters away.
In the process of moving, the vibration in the air, and the changes in the Spirit Qi of heaven and earth, all appeared clearly in his eyes.
The corner of Han Li's mouth curled up, and with a wave of his hand, a ball of black liquid appeared. It was a small ball of Heavy Water.
He flicked his finger!
"Bang!" The Heavy Water suddenly exploded, turning into countless black water droplets of different sizes, and flew in all directions.
The splashing of the water droplets was also slowed down by a fold, and every tiny particle was clearly visible.
Han Li waved his arm, and countless phantoms appeared, easily blocking all the water droplets, and once again condensed into a ball of Heavy Water.
Seeing this situation, his heart moved, and with a turn of his hand, he kept the ball of Heavy Water again.
Even though the effects of the Mantra Treasure Wheel were described in detail on the Mantra Treasure Wheel, he still needed to try a lot before he could completely master this divine ability.
In the next moment, Han Li clenched his fingers in the air.
Crackle!
Countless silver electric arcs appeared, and they jumped in his hand.
These electric arcs were not affected by the Mantra Treasure Wheel.
He spread his five fingers, and several silver electric arcs flew out of his hand, and quickly hit the wall of the secret room.
A layer of white crystal light appeared on the wall of the secret room, and it flashed a few times. Several silver electric arcs spread on the wall, and quickly jumped a few times, and then disappeared without a trace.
The slow crystal light and the rapid silver electric arcs formed a sharp contrast.
Han Li nodded, and although it flew out of his hand, the silver electric arcs were still not affected, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, if his attack was also slowed down, then the Mantra Treasure Wheel would have no meaning.
He tried to attack it with his divine sense, magic treasures, and so on. After seeing that it was not affected in the slightest, he was completely relieved.
Han Li's heart moved, and he summoned the giant ape puppet outside.
The sound of heavy footsteps was heard, and the giant ape puppet walked over.
Due to the influence of the Mantra Treasure Wheel, the sound of the puppet's feet stepping on the ground was also stretched out, and it sounded quite strange.
Not long after, the giant ape puppet stood outside the range of the golden ripples.
"Attack me," Han Li ordered the giant ape puppet.
As soon as his voice fell, the giant ape puppet immediately opened its mouth, and a thick beam of blue electric light shot out. At the same time, it raised its five fingers, and five blue electric arcs flew out, and attacked Han Li.
Although the power of the electric arcs was weak, their speed was still incomparably fast.
However, as soon as these electric arcs entered the golden ripples, their speed immediately decreased. Not only their flying speed, but also the electric arcs on the electric light beam, and the electric sparks that flew out, everything was slowed down.
Although it was twice as slow, it didn't sound like much, but in reality, it was a world of difference.
Han Li took a step to the side, and didn't deliberately use his movement technique.
Several electric arcs flew past his body, and didn't even touch his clothes.
Han Li was excited, and he let the puppet try other attacks. Under the influence of the Mantra Treasure Wheel, all the electric arcs were slowed down by half.
He clenched his fists, and his eyes shone brightly.
After a series of attempts, he had already more or less grasped the Mantra Treasure Wheel. In his mind, he also thought of a few ways to use the Mantra Treasure Wheel, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
With this sacred art, as long as he used it properly, he might even be able to defeat a late stage True Immortal expert.
But immediately after, Han Li raised his eyebrows slightly.
He hadn't used the Mantra Treasure Wheel for long, but the celestial spiritual force in his body had already been consumed by a large amount. It seemed that although the power of this sacred art wasn't bad, the consumption of celestial spiritual force was really terrifying.
However, with such a terrifying effect, it was understandable that it consumed a lot of celestial spiritual force.
The golden light on his body flashed, and the Mantra Treasure Wheel also disappeared into his body. He sat down cross-legged, and planned to continue cultivating.
However, before he started cultivating, he let the giant ape puppet bring the Sky Bottle over, and tried to use the Mantra Treasure Wheel again. Unfortunately, the situation was the same as before.
Han Li laughed bitterly, and he quickly calmed his mind, and once again entered secluded cultivation.
…
Spring passed, and winter came. Time flew by, and twenty years of time passed in a flash.
The Crimson Afterglow Peak was still as quiet as before, and it didn't have the liveliness of the other cave residences.
The red fire miasma near the peak had completely disappeared, and the weather returned to normal. Other than the places that were covered by the restrictive spell, the other places were covered by a thick layer of snow.
The vast expanse of whiteness made one's mind open up.
It was a pity that no one on the Crimson Afterglow Peak was in the mood to appreciate such a beautiful scenery. The few people on duty were also in charge of their own areas, patrolling and guarding, while the others were seizing the time to cultivate.
In an open space at the back of the Crimson Afterglow Peak, there was a red array that was more than thirty meters in size carved on the ground. Pieces of red crystals were inlaid on the ground, and they were flashing like flames.
In the center of the array sat a young girl in a white dress. It was Meng Qianqian.
Rays of red light rose from the crystals and gathered around the young girl in the white dress, making her look like she was sitting cross-legged in a cluster of red flames.
Sweat appeared on Meng Qianqian's forehead and temples, and her face was slightly red from the heat of the flames. It seemed that she was cultivating some kind of secret technique.
Over twenty years had passed, yet her appearance hadn't changed much, yet her cultivation had shockingly attained the advanced-stage of the Core Formation Realm. She was progressing so swiftly that even amongst the outer court disciples of the Torch Dragon Sect, many people clicked their tongues in wonder.
All of this was naturally inseparable from the medicinal pills given by Han Li, and the spirit stones left by her brother, Meng Yungui, before he went out. However, it was also related to her firm heart towards Dao.
If it wasn't for this, she wouldn't be able to endure the lonely and boring life of cultivation.
