Chapter 469: A Fleeting Moment

.. Mobile reading .. Mobile reading .. Time flies, and several years have passed again.

Han Li, dressed in a green robe, held a purple-black censer and walked slowly into a palace hall along a deep tunnel.

Golden light shone on the floor of the hall, and a warm aura emerged.

"During the time when this junior is dismantling the core formation, I will have to trouble you for a while, Senior." Han Li said to the censer as he stood in the center of the palace hall.

The old Daoist's remnant soul, perhaps impatient to see the light of day again, or perhaps accustomed to Han Li's disrespect, remained silent and simply sat quietly within the censer.

Seeing this, Han Li smiled and flicked his wrist, taking out two golden sealing talismans and attaching them vertically and horizontally to the censer, completely isolating the old Daoist's remnant soul from the outside world.

Having done this, he lifted his left hand and placed the censer into his sleeve.

He then took a deep breath and walked slowly to the stone platform in the center of the hall, bending down to look at the Taiyin Sundial embedded within.

Unlike his previous visit, he now clearly felt the power of time law emanating from it, though it was slightly different from what he had felt before.

The power of time on the sundial remained still unless one actively touched it with their spiritual sense, not even causing a ripple. But now that Han Li could sense it, it rushed towards him like a surging tide.

Han Li felt a slight strangeness in his heart. He formed a hand seal, and golden light surged from his back, revealing the Mantra Treasure Wheel.

His expression solemn, he slowly closed his eyes and formed another hand seal. The golden eye in the center of the Treasure Wheel immediately turned, and a golden beam of light shot out, heading straight for the Taiyin Sundial.

Before the golden beam could land, a strange scene unfolded.

The Taiyin Sundial, which had been still, trembled slightly and floated into the air.

The black iron needle in its center flashed and spun rapidly, shooting out a black electric arc that collided head-on with the golden beam.

A series of crackling sounds echoed.

The golden beam shattered and transformed into a golden powder, showering down and enveloping the entire stone platform.

Han Li watched this scene through the Eye of Truth, and a thunderous sound seemed to ring in his ears, causing his spiritual sense to suddenly empty and enter a state of void consciousness again.

This time, however, he did not transcend his senses. Instead, he saw illusions.

The layers of falling golden powder suddenly reversed and surged upwards, like a golden river flowing endlessly, engulfing him completely.

He felt his body soaring, as if traveling through the long river of time. Golden silk threads constantly flowed past him. He desperately tried to grab them, but every time he reached out, he found only emptiness.

Han Li felt a sense of anxiety in his heart. Unconsciously, he began to silently circulate the Mantra Turning Wheel Sutra, and the Mantra Treasure Wheel behind him spun rapidly. The four hundred or so time runes on it simultaneously shone with dazzling light.

In the long river of time, golden light shone on his palm as he reached out again, and this time he grabbed a golden silk thread, which was indeed the thread of the law of time.

Having caught one, Han Li was overjoyed and reached for another.

As he grasped two silk threads, the entire long river of time trembled violently, as if a mountain torrent had erupted, becoming turbulent and swift.

Han Li felt as if he were drowning, and even breathing became difficult.

He began to struggle and twist, but he could not break free from the river.

At that moment, another huge golden wave surged towards him, crashing down on his head.

As he struggled, Han Li hardened his heart and charged straight towards the wave, reaching out with both hands to grab two more golden silk threads within the wave.

With two more silk threads in hand, a thunderous roar echoed through the entire long river of time, and it completely collapsed.

Almost simultaneously, Han Li's eyes snapped open, and he gasped for breath.

He looked down at his hands, only to find them empty, and a sense of loss washed over him.

Suddenly, he felt something and turned his head sharply to look at the Mantra Treasure Wheel.

He saw that it was already entwined with a full ten golden silk threads!

The various strange phenomena he had just experienced were not illusions. In this brief moment of enlightenment, he had gained a full four threads of time.

Overjoyed, Han Li looked back at the stone platform.

The Taiyin Sundial had returned to its groove in the stone platform. The iron needle was still spinning rapidly, but the twelve hour marks engraved on it had become very blurry, almost impossible to see.

With a thought, Han Li formed another hand seal. The Eye of Truth behind him shone with dazzling golden light, and a powerful force of the law of time surged from it, pouring directly into the groove in the stone platform.

This time, the Taiyin Sundial did not react at all. Instead, golden lines appeared on the stone platform, spreading like a spider web and instantly covering the entire floor of the hall, then extending out of the tunnel and into every corner of the underground palace.

Soon, golden lines began to spread in the ruined city outside the underground palace, and the entire secret realm was bathed in golden light.

Golden light shone in Han Li's eyes as he grabbed the edge of the stone platform with both hands, pouring his power of the law of time into it madly. The time runes on the Mantra Treasure Wheel dimmed one after another.

With a soft "crack," fine cracks began to appear on the surface of the stone platform, spreading in all directions along with the golden lines.

Han Li felt tiny black lines appearing in the void all around him, intertwining and twisting like a spider web. These black lines became thicker and denser as the time runes on the Treasure Wheel dimmed.

His heart sank, and he immediately held his breath. A layer of substantive pale silver light appeared around him, making him look radiant in silver.

Just as the sixtieth time rune on the Mantra Treasure Wheel flashed and dimmed, a deafening roar finally sounded.

The entire small secret realm trembled violently!

Han Li narrowed his eyes and saw a golden sun, about ten feet in diameter, appearing out of nowhere in the void ahead. It rose suddenly, emitting bursts of heart-stopping golden light, then exploded with a roar, releasing a golden light that blinded the eyes.

The black lines all around twisted and deformed in the golden light, constantly surging towards the center to form a huge black vortex. It emitted an infinite suction force that attracted all the bricks, stones, trees, and plants in the secret realm and swallowed them up.

Before Han Li could react, his body was pulled in like a small boat in a storm.

……

Han Li felt a dizzying spin, then his body stumbled, and everything before him became clear.

He quickly scanned his surroundings and was immediately stunned.

He found himself standing in front of a golden palace, with a golden palace gate hundreds of feet tall behind him. Not far away stood a girl with picturesque features, looking tense and her mouth slightly open.

It was none other than Lu Yuqing!

Far from the gate, a golden-haired girl of eight or nine years old was confronting a barefoot woman wearing a silver crown and a silver robe.

A ring of gray light dozens of feet in size swirled around the woman. In the air above her, a huge gray dragon head shadow opened its bloody mouth, spitting out a three-colored beam of light. The golden-haired girl's hands exploded, transforming into two crystal threads that shot out and collided with the three-colored beam of light.

The two were Jin Tong and Qu Ling!

Everything was exactly the same as when Han Li had entered the golden gate more than two thousand years ago!

The difference was that the layer of golden light that had enveloped the golden palace, which was over a hundred feet tall, now seemed a little dim, having lost its previous brilliance.

"What's going on..." Han Li couldn't help but be stunned.

He had stayed in the world inside the palace gate for so long, but the outside world seemed to have remained at the moment before he entered.

The other three also noticed Han Li, who had "disappeared for a moment," and their faces showed surprise.

Lu Yuqing was about to say something after a moment of surprise.

Boom!

The three-colored beam of light and the crystal threads that had shot out collided, emitting a heaven-shattering roar.

Extremely dazzling light erupted from the beam of light and the crystal threads, splitting the entire sky in two.

One side was rolling three-colored flames, and the other side was dazzling crystal light. They fiercely collided and intertwined, and the entire void rumbled and trembled. Especially where the two met, the void was distorted and trembling, as if it could shatter at any moment.

The ruins on the ground, stones, and other objects were irradiated by the light projected from the sky and immediately dissolved like ice and snow, disappearing completely. The ground also dissolved quickly.

Seeing this, Lu Yuqing's pretty face changed, and her body swayed, turning into a streak of green light and flying away, landing outside the affected area.

Han Li did not move, and he uttered a soft shout.

Thirty-six bright starlight suddenly appeared on his body, and then transformed into a layer of substantial True Extremity Membrane.

Chichichi!

Beams of light irradiated on his True Extremity Membrane, making an ear-piercing friction sound. The True Extremity Membrane flickered and trembled slightly, but it showed no signs of shattering or weakening.

Han Li's eyes were bright as he looked towards the mid-air, seeing the three-colored beam of light becoming more and more intense, quickly overwhelming the crystal threads.

Behind the crystal threads, Jin Tong's face suddenly turned ugly.

She cried out sweetly, and golden light flashed at her broken arm, and two arms condensed out again, but they were semi-transparent. Her two hands pushed out into the void.

Two crystalline golden lights shot out from her palms and merged into one. With a flash of golden light, they transformed into a golden crystal thread again.

The two crystal threads crossed each other, blocking the three-colored beam of light.

However, the power of the law was surging in the three-colored beam of light, still overwhelming the two crystal threads.

The situation became precarious!
