Chapter 1152 Apprenticeship (Fellow Daoists, Happy National Day ^^)
Han Li's face changed several times, and soon became extremely solemn.
In fact, after listening to Mi Luo Old Ancestor's sermon just now, his understanding of the Grand Five Elements Illusory World Divine Art had deepened a lot, and he had vaguely felt that there was something wrong with the five time law powers in his body.
He still couldn't confirm exactly what was wrong, but it was certain that what Mi Luo Old Ancestor said was true.
"What Senior Mi Luo said is very true. In that case, I will join the Mantra Sect." Han Li was silent for a moment, raised his head and said, and then was about to perform a grand apprenticeship ceremony to Mi Luo Old Ancestor.
"You and I are destined acquaintances from different eras, so there's no need for such formalities." Seeing Han Li agree to join the Mantra Sect, Mi Luo Old Ancestor was overjoyed and raised his hand to emit an invisible force, holding Han Li's body and preventing him from kneeling.
Han Li looked surprised at this scene.
"Although I am accepting you as a disciple, Han, my friend, your strength is extraordinary, and you will probably advance to the Great Luo realm soon. We are called master and disciple, but in fact, we can interact as friends." Mi Luo Old Ancestor smiled again.
Han Li was really surprised to hear this.
In the Immortal World, the master-disciple relationship of various sects and factions is very important to seniority and etiquette. Moreover, according to his knowledge, the Mantra Sect is a very ancient sect with strict etiquette, especially emphasizing seniority. What does Mi Luo Old Ancestor mean?
Although he couldn't figure it out, it suited his wishes that Mi Luo Old Ancestor didn't let him perform the apprenticeship ceremony.
Han Li had been alone for many years. If he had to kowtow and salute someone, even if the other party was his master or elder, he would feel a little awkward.
"I dare not. Since I have拜了前辈as my teacher, I should naturally follow the rituals of master and disciple," he said respectfully.
Mi Luo Old Ancestor did not insist on this matter and pulled Han Li to sit down in place.
"Han Li, since you come from the future, what is the situation of the Mantra Sect in your era?" Mi Luo Old Ancestor asked with a solemn expression.
"In the era I was in, the Mantra Sect had already been destroyed by the Heavenly Court. According to my investigation, the Heavenly Court's Time Dao Ancestor personally took action," Han Li hesitated for a moment, and said.
"Is that so..." Mi Luo Old Ancestor was not surprised to hear this, as if he had already expected it.
"There is one more thing, Master, Qi Mozi is not reliable. He had already defected to the Heavenly Court at that time. Moreover, the destruction of the Mantra Sect is probably inseparable from him. Please, Master, take precautions early," Han Li hesitated for a moment, and said again.
"If it is the will of heaven, there is no need to try to change it, otherwise, no one knows what will be caused," Mi Luo Old Ancestor's expression remained unchanged after hearing this, and after a moment of silence, he said lightly.
Han Li was about to say something more when he heard this.
"Who can guarantee that if we stop him, the Mantra Sect will definitely not be destroyed and the situation will be better? Alright, you don't have to worry about the Mantra Sect. You just said that your time here is limited, so quickly perform the Grand Five Elements Illusory World Divine Art and let me take a closer look at the problems in it," Mi Luo Old Ancestor raised his hand to stop Han Li's words and said.
So Han Li didn't say much and operated the Grand Five Elements Illusory World Divine Art.
The Mantra Treasure Wheel, Time-severing Torch, Time Purification Bottle, Illusionary Star Hourglass, Eastern Wood Divine Tree and other five materialized objects emerged and revolved slowly around his body.
This time, he was asking Mi Luo Old Ancestor for advice, so he fully operated the Grand Five Elements Illusory World Divine Art. Not only did the time da纹on the Mantra Treasure Wheel and other objects all shine brightly, but the time law crystal threads also emerged.
The fifty time law crystal threads consumed by the previous passage were basically from the Time-severing Torch. At this moment, there were only a hundred or so time law crystal threads on the Time-severing Torch.
And the Mantra Treasure Wheel was wrapped with thirty or so time law crystal threads. The Illusionary Star Hourglass, Time Purification Bottle, and Eastern Wood Divine Tree had even fewer time law crystal threads, only a few.
Mi Luo Old Ancestor looked at the Mantra Treasure Wheel and other objects, first nodding, then shaking his head.
Seeing Mi Luo Old Ancestor's expression change, Han Li told him about some of the problems he had in his daily cultivation and the previous failure to break through to the Great Luo realm, and then cupped his hands and said, "Please give me some guidance, Master."
"The time law is one of the three supreme laws, surpassing the other three thousand Great Daos. Everything cannot exist independently without it. And the five elements are the foundation of all things in the world. The Grand Five Elements Illusory World Divine Art is actually using the most common principles of the five elements to explain the supreme time law. This is the principle of the Great Dao being simple," Mi Luo Old Ancestor said slowly after a moment of silence.
Han Li listened intently, his eyes unblinking.
"Water flows downwards, fire rises upwards, metal is sharp, wood is generative, and earth is thick. These principles of the five elements are not limited to the five elements laws, but are also reflected in other laws, and so is the time law. And the five elements cycle, generate and restrain each other, cycle endlessly, but are eternally immortal. The Grand Five Elements Illusory World Divine Art is pursuing this principle of the Great Dao, allowing time to pass by, I cycle back and forth, standing firmly in the long river of time, eternally immortal," Mi Luo Old Ancestor continued.
Hearing this, Han Li felt as if a bright light had been lit in his heart, and he had a feeling of waking up from a dream.
He had always wondered why the Grand Five Elements Illusory World Divine Art was clearly a time technique, but it created five divine powers such as the Mantra Treasure Wheel that were clearly of the five elements. It turned out that it wanted to use the principles of the five elements to explain the Great Dao of time.
"So, the most important thing in cultivating the Grand Five Elements Illusory World Divine Art is balance. The five elements generate and restrain each other. If you can't master the balance, you will suffer from it. Your current cultivation is uneven. There are extremely many time law crystal threads on the Time-severing Torch, but there are very few time law crystal threads on the Time Purification Bottle, Illusionary Star Hourglass, and Eastern Wood Divine Tree. With such imbalance, how can you succeed in breaking through to the Great Luo realm?" Mi Luo Old Ancestor said.
"I see. But it is not easy to increase the law crystal threads on the Time Purification Bottle, Illusionary Star Hourglass, and Eastern Wood Divine Tree. Treasures containing the power of time law are not easy to find, let alone find time law treasures that are similar to the Time Purification Bottle, Illusionary Star Hourglass, and Eastern Wood Divine Tree. May I ask, Master, do you know of any other ways to increase the time law crystal threads?" Han Li nodded, then frowned and asked.
"The Grand Five Elements Illusory World Divine Art can refine the time law power of external objects and condense it into time law crystal threads. This is an amazing divine power. Other people who cultivate time techniques can only honestly comprehend the time law and increase the time law crystal threads little by little by improving their realm. You are already countless times faster than others, and you are still not satisfied," Mi Luo Old Ancestor glared at Han Li and reprimanded.
"Yes, disciple knows his mistake. It's just that in the time and space where I am, the Heavenly Court is stepping up its pursuit of me, and I need to quickly improve my strength. The Mantra Sect has such a deep foundation, and even has treasures like Mount Sumeru. Can Master bestow upon me a few materials containing the power of time law so that I can refine them to improve my strength?" Han Li smiled.
"Good boy, you're actually plotting against your teacher. I naturally have the materials, but there should be many restrictions on traveling through time and space, and you may not be able to bring them back to the time and space where you are," Mi Luo Old Ancestor said slowly.
Han Li was stunned when he heard this. He hadn't thought about this problem.
"However, it doesn't hurt to try." After a slight silence, Mi Luo Old Ancestor spoke again, then raised his hand and waved.
A flash of light appeared beside him, and three more items appeared: a section of dark green ancient wood, a broken water-blue long ge, and a piece of earthy yellow round stone.
All three items emitted strong time law fluctuations, no weaker than the Fire-age Firefly insect nest of that day.
"Thank you, Master, for bestowing treasures." Although Mi Luo Old Ancestor's words were still lingering in Han Li's mind, he was still overjoyed to see the three treasures and waved his hand to put them away.
"Remember not to be impatient on the path of cultivation. You must proceed step by step and gradually. The time law power in your body is quite restless, precisely because it has been improved too quickly. In the future, you must spend more time in meditation to make up for this problem," Mi Luo Old Ancestor said.
"Yes," Han Li replied respectfully.
"Disciple has another question about the cultivation of the Spirit Domain. I have cultivated the Spirit Domain for many years, but it is still at the most elementary level, and I have not been able to enter the Creation Realm and Spiritual Transformation Realm. What is the reason for this?" He shook his head, stopped thinking about other things, and asked about cultivation again.
"The time law is the supreme law, with powerful power, crushing all laws other than the supreme law. But the way of heaven is balanced, and it is much more difficult to improve the realm of the time law than other laws, and the same is true in Spirit Domain cultivation. You can only find a way to solve this problem yourself. Comprehend the time law more, and I have no good way to help you," Mi Luo Old Ancestor shook his head and said.
Han Li nodded slowly, and then continued to ask other questions, some about the Grand Five Elements Illusory World Divine Art, some about immortal artifacts, and some about other aspects.
Mi Luo Old Ancestor's cultivation was unfathomable, and his insights into laws, divine powers, immortal artifacts, and other aspects were even more unfathomable. No matter what difficulties Han Li had, he could answer them one by one, pointing directly to the essentials of cultivation, giving Han Li a feeling of seeing the sun through the clouds every time.
In the blink of an eye, there were few time da纹left on the golden wheel.
Although it was only a short time, Han Li's mastery of the Grand Five Elements Illusory World Divine Art, time law, and even the entire cultivation system was different from before.
Han Li and Mi Luo Old Ancestor were still in the main hall, sitting cross-legged facing each other.
Han Li did not ask any more cultivation questions. Mi Luo Old Ancestor seemed to have noticed that Han Li was about to leave, and did not speak either.
"Thank you, Master, for your patient guidance. Disciple has benefited greatly," Han Li bowed.
"Since you have become my disciple, I naturally have to guide you in your cultivation. It's a pity that time is limited, and I feel very guilty. But since you have the ability to travel through time and space, you should have the opportunity to come back in the future. Regarding the cultivation of the Grand Five Elements Illusory World Divine Art, there are still many things I haven't been able to teach you," Mi Luo Old Ancestor sighed and said.
