Han Li stayed by the white spiritual pool for a while, then turned and walked outside.

Back in his bedroom, he immediately fell asleep.

For the past three years, he had been refining the Myriad Wheel Pill without rest, needing to concentrate fully, not daring to make the slightest mistake, and constantly calculating the timing to activate the Mantra Treasure Wheel. Even with his current late True Immortal Realm cultivation and divine sense power, he felt greatly exhausted.

Before starting the next stage of cultivation, it was necessary to recover well, bringing his body, mind, and magic power to a state of peak fullness.

He slept for a full three days and three nights.

Three days later, Han Li, full of energy, arrived in the secret room, sat cross-legged, and held a green jade bottle in his hand.

The bottle tilted slightly, and a light golden pill, the size of a dragon's eye, poured out. It was the Myriad Wheel Pill.

Han Li pinched the pill with two fair fingers, pondered for a moment, then put it in his mouth, tilted his head back, and swallowed it.

The Myriad Wheel Pill quickly melted in his mouth and belly, turning into a scorching and powerful warm current that flowed through the meridians of his body.

Han Li frowned slightly, feeling that these warm currents were like ten thousand galloping horses running wildly at a command, flowing faster and faster through the meridians, and gradually forming warm vortexes in various places, causing a burst of stabbing pain and distension in the meridians.

After a while, Han Li's brows gradually relaxed, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

The medicinal power of the Myriad Wheel Pill was even greater than he had expected.

He soon exhaled lightly, composed his mind, silently activated the True Mantra Wheel Sutra, and began selfless hard cultivation.

A layer of soft golden light rose, enveloping his body.

Spring passed, winter came, seasons changed, and year after year passed.

The dust outside the cave entrance piled higher and higher, and now it was almost impossible to see that there was a door on the mountain wall.

More than five hundred years, for mortals, was an extremely long period of time, during which dynasties could change and races could migrate, but for cultivators, it was merely a single retreat.

On this day, the sky above the island suddenly surged with clouds, and countless black clouds appeared out of thin air, with flashes of lightning arcing wildly within.

Within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth rolled violently, forming a huge spiritual energy vortex that slowly rotated.

Countless spiritual light clusters visible to the naked eye floated in mid-air, and as the spiritual energy vortex rotated, they also converged towards the small island.

A hundred miles away from the nameless island, there was a small island with fiery red colors on the surface of the sea.

This island was extremely small, only about a mile in radius, and was formed by piles of bright red coral, sparkling in the sunlight and looking very beautiful.

The seawater beside the coral island rolled with a splash, and a scarlet monster emerged from the water.

This monster was more than ten feet long and resembled a wild boar in appearance, but its entire body was covered with scarlet fur, standing up like steel needles, and two snow-white fangs grew from the corners of its mouth, flashing with a metallic cold light.

Even more peculiar was that this beast had six legs under its body.

This beast's appearance was peculiar, even somewhat ferocious, but its body was quite fat, round like a watermelon, without any domineering aura, and instead looked somewhat comical.

If there were cultivators familiar with the Black Wind Sea here, they would be surprised to find that this beast was a low-level monster common in the Black Wind Sea, the Pig Porpoise Beast, but the aura it was now emitting had reached the late Nascent Soul stage.

The Pig Porpoise Beast's bulging body suddenly swelled, and its mouth opened wide, immediately emitting a powerful suction force.

Some of the spiritual light clusters in mid-air immediately flew down and disappeared into its mouth.

A layer of red light appeared on the Pig Porpoise Beast, flickering uncertainly.

The grand phenomenon on the distant island lasted for about an hour before slowly dissipating, and the spiritual light clusters in mid-air also disappeared.

The Pig Porpoise Beast closed its mouth, stopped emitting suction, and the red light on its body looked brighter than before.

This beast looked towards the distant island and cried out twice with some reluctance.

It had been entrenched here for a long time. Hundreds of years ago, an extremely powerful human cultivator came to that island, and some of the nearby monsters with high cultivation levels moved away one after another.

However, at that time, its intelligence had just been awakened, and it was still somewhat ignorant, so it did not leave.

After that human cultivator lived here, he did not attack any of the nearby small monsters, but stayed in seclusion.

The Pig Porpoise Beast had lived a stable life over the years, and because all the other powerful monsters had moved away, its life was actually very good.

Later, it unconsciously became more intelligent, and after weighing things up, it still did not choose to leave.

As for its reasons for staying, it was that on that island, a huge spiritual energy vortex like the one just now would appear every once in a while in the past few hundred years, and it had appeared eleven times so far.

Each time, the Pig Porpoise Beast would use its innate divine power to absorb some of the materialized spiritual energy light clusters, which would allow its cultivation to rise again and again. In just a few hundred years, it had been promoted from a small Qi Refining stage beast that had just awakened its intelligence to its current state.

The Pig Porpoise Beast looked at the small island again with a fierce gaze.

Its cultivation level was already approaching the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and if that phenomenon had lasted a little longer, it might have broken through its realm.

It seemed that it could only wait for next time...

The Pig Porpoise Beast thought to itself, flicked its tail, and dived into the water.

Inside the cave, Han Li was surrounded by golden light, and a huge pressure emanated from his entire body.

Golden light spots flickered up and down his body, reaching as many as thirty-five.

The golden light flashed wildly for a while, then slowly faded away.

Han Li opened his eyes, and a trace of excitement flashed in them.

His cultivation level had advanced by leaps and bounds in these years. In just over five hundred years, he had opened up eleven immortal apertures in one go.

If outsiders knew of such a cultivation speed, they would probably be dumbfounded.

But if others knew that he was taking the Myriad Wheel Pill almost like ordinary pills, even Golden Immortals would be jealous enough to vomit blood.

In fact, being able to open up eleven immortal apertures in a mere five hundred years also exceeded Han Li's expectations.

According to his original estimate, it would be impossible to reach this realm without a thousand years, but he did it in five hundred years.

In addition, there was another aspect of this pill that puzzled him, and that was the problem of drug resistance.

He had been taking the Myriad Wheel Pill all these years, and it had not shown any drug resistance that would reduce its effectiveness, as with other pills.

He had naturally put in a lot of effort to find the reason for this, but after trying several methods, he had gained nothing. He naturally did not think much about it, after all, it was not a bad thing, otherwise, he would have a headache instead.

He shook his head, no longer thinking about this matter, and then revealed a look of contemplation.

Currently, he had opened thirty-five immortal apertures, and the next step was to open the thirty-sixth immortal aperture and attack the Golden Immortal Realm.

If he could successfully cross over, he could become a Golden Immortal!

Although there was only a one-word difference between Golden Immortal and True Immortal, their strength and status were vastly different. Correspondingly, the difficulty of breaking through was so great that it was comparable to the Tribulation Transcendence of the Mahayana stage cultivators in the Spirit Realm back then.

To attack this bottleneck, in addition to needing to open up the thirty-sixth immortal aperture, the most troublesome thing was the last Decay of the Five Signs of Celestial Decay, which was the so-called "Aperture Decay."

Speaking of which, Han Li had not experienced any Decay since he began cultivating, but in these years, he had heard and seen the power of these Five Decays, and even with his divine powers, he did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

The most practical way to resist the Five Decays of Celestial Decay was to truly master the power of Laws.

He was cultivating the Law of Time, and this Law was one of the three Supreme Laws. If he could truly master it, even if it was just a trace, it would probably have a miraculous effect in resisting the Five Decays of the True Immortal Realm.

But all these years, he had tried every means and still could not succeed. Now, his greatest hope was to refine a Dao Pill.

Han Li suddenly thought of something, stood up abruptly, walked out of the secret room, and soon arrived at an area of the medicine garden.

This place was a piece of pitch-black spiritual soil, and the air emitted a cold and humid feeling.

In the spiritual soil was a white spiritual ginseng, its surface crystal clear, as if carved from white jade, looking extremely extraordinary.

This was precisely a material missing from the Dao Pill, the Heaven Creation Ginseng.

These years, his efforts had finally paid off. He had obtained a Heaven Creation Ginseng seedling from the Unstable Alliance at a high price.

Han Li looked at the white spiritual ginseng, a hint of joy revealed in his eyes, and nodded.

As soon as he obtained the Heaven Creation Ginseng seedling, he immediately had the Giant Ape Puppet use green liquid to ripen it. Now, it seemed that the cultivation process was quite smooth. It had at least one hundred thousand years of medicinal age, enough for making pills.

Now, all that was missing was the Dew凝Grass, but even though he had offered a high price, there was still no news of this medicine.

This matter was already a matter of chance, and now that he was in the Black Wind Sea, the only way was to continue waiting for news from the Unstable Alliance.

Han Li sighed lightly and returned to the secret room again, sitting cross-legged.

Although the Dao Pill could not be refined yet, he naturally did not want to wait in vain, but instead, he tried to attack this final thirty-sixth immortal aperture. At the very least, he had to open up most of it and completely push his cultivation to the peak of the late True Immortal stage.

Thinking this way, Han Li took out another Myriad Wheel Pill and put it in his mouth, closing his eyes to cultivate.

The sea was vast and blue, and the sky was as clear as water. The sea area had seemed to be like this since ancient times, never changing. The passage of time gave people a very vague feeling.

In the blink of an eye, another fifty or sixty years had passed.

On the coral island a hundred miles away, the sea surface rolled, and a scarlet sea beast emerged, which was the Pig Porpoise Beast, looking towards the distant island.

According to its previous experience, the spiritual energy vortex should be about to appear.

In recent years, the Pig Porpoise Beast had basically come out to check every day, fearing that it would miss the opportunity.

But almost ten years had passed since its expected time, and the spiritual energy vortex had not appeared.

Not only that, but there was also no movement on the island. The strange phenomena of spiritual energy fluctuations that had occasionally appeared in previous years had also not appeared in recent years.

The Pig Porpoise Beast looked at the distant island, its eyes gradually becoming anxious. Could it be that the human cultivator had already left this place?

It hesitated again and again, and finally, with a sway of its body, swam towards the small island.
