“Gone… There’s only this piece left. I originally wanted to keep it and study it slowly… but this thing is too strange, I can’t control it at all. It’s better to offer it to Senior.” The Pig-Tailed Beast lowered its large head, looking meek and obedient.

Han Li smiled slightly upon hearing this, flicked his finger, and tossed another pill over.

The Pig-Tailed Beast was overjoyed and immediately opened its mouth to swallow the pill. The light on its body flickered again, and its aura faintly increased a bit.

“Go. Don’t reveal anything about the situation here.” Han Li said indifferently.

The Pig-Tailed Beast hurriedly nodded its large head, turned around and flew back to the sea surface, swimming away into the distance.

Han Li watched the beast leave, pondered slightly, and flipped his hand to take out a light red jade box.

This box was made of a special warm jade, which felt warm and smooth to the touch, and emitted a gentle aura throughout.

He placed the black stone into the box, and the black light shone on the warm jade box wall, but the box wall remained intact.

Han Li put away the jade box, dispersed the True Extremes Membrane covering his palm, and turned back to the cave.

He did not return to the secret chamber, but went directly to a corner of the Herb Garden, the area where the Mother Beans were planted.

In recent years, in order to try to open the thirty-sixth Immortal Aperture, he had devoted himself to cultivation and had not distracted himself to condense crystalline grains. Since the Myriad Wheels Pills he had refined earlier were not lacking, he instructed the Giant Ape Puppet to use all the green liquid to ripen the Mother Beans.

Han Li's eyes lit up as he glanced over.

He saw that the Mother Beans had already sprouted, growing several tender roots, and a slender, tender green sprout stretched out from the spiritual soil.

Although it was just a small seedling, it exuded a powerful vitality.

He carefully observed the condition of the sprout, and like the previous one, a circle of blurred golden patterns grew on the two leaves.

A hint of joy appeared on Han Li's face, and he nodded.

In recent years, he had studied the Dao Soldier cultivation method given to him by Hu Yan Old Daoist, and had gained some experience in cultivating bean Dao Soldiers, no longer as clueless as before.

Cultivating bean soldiers, the most difficult and time-consuming part is how to make the Mother Beans sprout.

As long as the Mother Beans sprout, it is considered half the battle. Next, you only need to cultivate them well, and you can quickly produce another batch of bean soldiers and obtain the Mother Beans again.

Thinking this, Han Li observed the condition of the Mother Beans for a while, and then left the Herb Garden, heading towards the secret chamber.

Walking past a corner, he looked towards a tightly closed room ahead.

Speaking of which, Crab Daoren, like himself, had been in seclusion for hundreds of years, and still showed no signs of coming out, and he didn't know what he was doing.

He withdrew his gaze and entered the secret chamber. After sitting down cross-legged, he directly took out the Faceless Alliance mask, activated the restriction, and opened the mission interface.

The mission to find Dew凝 Grass still had no response.

He had expected this, sighed, and posted two more missions.

One was to find the complete cultivation method of *Great Stellar Cycle Essence Art*, and the other was to identify the black stone he had just obtained.

For some reason, this thing gave him a very special feeling.

After doing these, Han Li sat quietly for a moment and summoned the Giant Ape Puppet, taking the Palm Heaven Bottle from its hand.

A drop of green liquid was condensed inside the bottle, gently rotating.

He gently shook the Palm Heaven Bottle, then placed it beside him and formed hand seals.

Buzz!

Golden light shone brightly from Han Li's body, and the Mantra Treasure Wheel appeared behind him, rotating gently.

On the Treasure Wheel, clusters of translucent Time Dao Rune glimmered, emitting waves of Time Law power.

He pointed with his hand seals, and the Mantra Treasure Wheel flew from behind him and landed in front of him.

Now, the Time Dao Rune on this wheel were more than they had been in the past, reaching one hundred and thirty clusters.

When he was still in the mid True Immortal Realm, he used Time Crystal Grains to increase the Time Dao Rune on the Mantra Treasure Wheel to one hundred and eight clusters. After that, when opening the Immortal Apertures, the Mantra Treasure Wheel no longer added new Time Dao Rune, as if it had reached its limit.

Now that he had advanced to the late True Immortal Realm and opened eleven more Immortal Apertures, the Time Dao Rune on the Treasure Wheel had begun to increase again.

If that's the case…

Han Li picked up the Palm Heaven Bottle beside him and injected Immortal Spiritual Power into it.

Rumble!

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi near the cave immediately rolled violently, forming a huge Spiritual Qi vortex, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi turned into countless glittering rays of light, gathering towards it.

The void trembled, setting off gusts of wind, and the sea surface surged with angry waves.

The amazing phenomenon lasted for three days before dissipating.

Inside the cave, Han Li condensed a Crystalline Grain in his hand, looking slightly tired.

With his current Immortal Spiritual Power, condensing Crystalline Grains was much easier, not as if it would be almost emptied as before.

After Han Li adjusted his breathing slightly, he formed hand seals, and the golden light flashed behind him, and the Mantra Treasure Wheel emerged.

He chanted incantations and urged the Mantra Treasure Wheel to rotate with a buzzing sound, and the Time Dao Rune on it bloomed with thousands of golden lights.

A dazzling golden light cluster appeared in the central area of the Treasure Wheel, with golden light flowing and flickering, and then transformed into a golden vertical eye, looking at the Time Crystal Grain in Han Li's hand.

With a soft "click," the Crystalline Grain shattered, and a wisp of golden silk flew out from it and shot into the golden vertical eye.

Han Li's body shook violently, as if struck hard.

The Mantra Treasure Wheel immediately vibrated, emitting golden rays of light.

After a while, a dazzling white light emerged on the Treasure Wheel, and then transformed into a translucent Time Dao Rune.

Seeing this scene, a flash of joy flashed in Han Li's eyes.

As he expected, the Mantra Treasure Wheel could continue to increase Time Dao Rune with Crystalline Grains.

He put away the Mantra Treasure Wheel and handed the Palm Heaven Bottle to the Giant Ape Puppet, asking it to take it outside to continue condensing green liquid.

The more Time Dao Rune on the Treasure Wheel, the greater its power will naturally be.

Han Li took a deep breath and began to slowly circulate the cultivation method, recovering the loss of Immortal Spiritual Power caused by condensing the Crystalline Grains.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, more than twenty years have passed.

Inside the cave, golden light radiated from Han Li's body, and the Mantra Treasure Wheel rotated rapidly behind him, emitting circles of faint golden ripples, illuminating the entire cave with golden brilliance.

On the Treasure Wheel, densely packed were circles of dazzling Time Dao Rune, and upon closer inspection, there were as many as three hundred and sixty clusters.

Over the years, he had been constantly using Time Crystal Grains to increase Time Dao Rune, but like when he was in the mid True Immortal Realm, after the Time Dao Rune increased to three hundred and sixty clusters, it reached a limit again and could no longer be increased.

Han Li urged the magic formula in his hand, and countless golden ripples emerged, spreading towards the surrounding area.

The golden ripples were much brighter than before, almost condensed into substance.

Everything within the range covered by the ripples stood still.

The air stopped flowing, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi no longer fluctuated, everything seemed to be frozen.

Han Li felt the changes around him and nodded.

At this moment, the degree of time flow slowdown within the range of the golden ripples had greatly increased again. According to his current estimate, it was almost three thousand times slower.

He waved his hand, and the golden light emitted from the Mantra Treasure Wheel dissipated, merging into his body.

As the Time Dao Rune on the Mantra Treasure Wheel increased, the Immortal Spiritual Power consumed by performing this divine ability also greatly increased. With his current cultivation in the late True Immortal Realm, it was somewhat difficult.

Han Li breathed a sigh of relief and sat down cross-legged.

Now that the Time Dao Rune on the Mantra Treasure Wheel has increased, not only has its power greatly increased again, but also the Time Power it contains has increased a lot. With a slight urging of the Mantra Treasure Wheel, a huge Time Law power will gush out from it.

With the abundant Time Power on the Mantra Treasure Wheel at this moment, perhaps he can comprehend the Time Law without the help of Dao Pills?

At the thought of this, he flipped his hand and took out a pill, swallowed it, and closed his eyes again.

Half a day later.

Rumble, the void inside his secret chamber vibrated, and even through the restrictions, he could vaguely see golden lights from the depths, emitting powerful Time Power fluctuations.

At this moment, golden lights flashed continuously on the stone door of the secret chamber where Crab Daoren was in seclusion not far away.

With a muffled "boom," the door slowly opened.

Crab Daoren walked out slowly, his whole body surrounded by fine golden thunder lights, as if wearing a golden gauze garment.

Under the cover of the golden gauze garment, his body looked somewhat looming, as if it would merge into the void and disappear at any time.

He looked towards the inside of the cave and quickly landed on the secret chamber where Han Li was in seclusion at the moment. After standing in place for a moment, he quickly turned around and walked back to his stone chamber.

A few days later, the strange phenomenon in Han Li's secret chamber dissipated, and all fluctuations disappeared.

Inside the secret chamber, Han Li sat cross-legged, his clothes were somewhat torn, bloodstains were faintly visible on his body, and his face looked extremely pale.

This attempt, like the previous ones, ended in failure again.

It seemed that in the dark, some kind of force was preventing him from comprehending the Time Law.

Han Li frowned, formed hand seals, and the azure light on his body rippled, and all the bloodstains on his body disappeared.

He took out a brand new robe and put it on, flipped his hand and took out a pill, closed his eyes and cultivated to refine the medicinal power. It was not until half a day later that his complexion gradually returned to normal.

Han Li opened his eyes, sat quietly, looking ahead.

After a long time, he sighed softly.

It seems that without Dao Pills, it is really impossible to comprehend the Time Law.

His eyes quickly became firm, he flipped his hand and took out the Faceless Alliance mask and put it on, pinched a magic formula with one hand, activated the restriction, and came to the mission area in the Alliance.

Han Li glanced slightly, his face was first happy, but then the smile disappeared.

Someone had responded to the previously posted mission, but it was not to find Dew凝 Grass, but to identify the black stone.

Han Li shook his head, but still pinched a magic formula with one hand and clicked on the mission.

Although it was not the most anticipated search for Dew凝 Grass, he was very curious about that stone.

A layer of clear light immediately appeared on the mission text, flashing gently, sometimes bright and sometimes dark.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the light on the mission text lit up and projected a beam of azure light towards the secret chamber.

Where the azure light landed, a figure wearing a scarlet dragon-headed mask gradually emerged, with a number 'three' engraved on the mask in strange characters.

Han Li looked at this person, his face was stunned, but through the mask, he did not show it.

He had a very deep impression of this mask, it was the mask of Jiao San back then.
