Wang Yu
Chapter 368: You're Awake
Everywhere one looked, golden clouds drifted, one cluster after another, varying in size, overlapping and filling the entire space, making it appear brilliantly golden.
These golden clouds rose and fell from time to time, some constantly transforming into various shapes, appearing neither human nor object, giving a very magical feeling.
On top of one of the golden clouds stood a colossal golden stone tablet, ten thousand feet high, emitting bursts of golden light, constantly flowing.
On the stone tablet were rows of golden patterns, appearing to be some kind of writing, or perhaps runes, densely packed and almost covering the entire tablet.
These golden characters varied in size and brightness, but generally speaking, the larger ones were brighter.
The largest were the size of houses, emitting a strong golden light, while the smallest were only the size of fists, emitting a very faint golden light.
Some of the golden characters were stationary, while others flickered constantly, emitting waves of intense power of the law of time.
Just at that moment, the stone tablet suddenly blazed with golden light and emitted a huge, sharp whistle that shot straight into the sky.
At the bottom of the stone tablet, in a blank space, a flash of spiritual light appeared, revealing a new line of golden characters, the size of bowls, also emitting a faint gold, gently flickering.
The dazzling golden light emitted by the stone tablet lasted for a moment, then quickly dimmed, and everything returned to its previous state.
Suddenly, somewhere in the void in front of the giant tablet, a wave occurred, and specks of golden light emerged from thin air and coalesced into a pair of huge golden eyes. The pupils turned and looked towards the stone tablet.
"Oh, another person has comprehended the law of time..." a hazy voice sounded, impossible to tell if it was male or female, without any emotional fluctuations.
The voice echoed in the space for a while before quickly dissipating.
The huge golden eyes seemed to have only glanced casually, and the next moment they flashed and disappeared again, turning back into specks of golden light.
...
Inside the secret chamber of the cave, Han Li was enveloped in extremely dense golden light, and the Mantra Treasure Wheel slowly rotated behind him.
Above his head hovered a golden crystal thread, about a foot long, slowly swimming in the void like a spiritual snake.
Although shrunk countless times, the power of time emitted by the crystal thread was not diminished in the slightest, filling the entire secret chamber, causing everything in the room to undergo some kind of special change.
It could be said that, apart from Han Li and the golden light on his body, everything in the secret chamber was in some kind of seemingly static state.
Han Li slowly opened his eyes, looked at the crystal thread above his head, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
This time, comprehending the law of time was quite tortuous. Refining the Dao Pill alone took him several years.
Afterward, using the power of the Dao Pill to break through and comprehend the law of time took several more years.
During this period, accidents happened several times, but fortunately, he was relatively well prepared and had many precious pills on him.
Moreover, he had previously tried to comprehend several times through the Mantra Treasure Wheel. Although he had not succeeded, he had accumulated a lot of experience, so he was able to resolve some of the bottlenecks in the comprehension process without any danger, and finally, with the help of the Dao Pill, successfully mastered the law of time.
And since mastering the law of time, everything had become different. He felt that he had a special understanding of the mysterious power of time, and his understanding of the "Mantra Wheel Transformation Sutra" had also changed.
The most obvious thing was that he seemed to be more comfortable in summoning the Mantra Treasure Wheel and being in the golden space.
And at the moment he condensed the law of time, he even vaguely sensed a trace of the passage of time in the entire world.
After a long time, Han Li's mood slowly calmed down.
He looked at the golden crystal thread, his eyes flickering a few times.
Then, he pinched a magic seal in his hand, and the surface of the golden crystal thread flashed with light and converged.
The secret chamber immediately returned to normal.
Han Li changed the magic seal in his hand, and the golden crystal thread immediately changed continuously, sometimes lengthening, sometimes shrinking, and sometimes even tied into a knot, completely changing according to Han Li's will.
As the shape of the crystal thread changed, the power of time emitted would immediately change accordingly.
Seeing this scene, Han Li's face showed a rather interested expression.
It seemed that this time crystal thread was far more mysterious than he thought, and he would not be able to fully comprehend it for a while.
He smiled faintly.
He had plenty of time, so he could slowly comprehend it later.
Han Li changed the magic seal in his hand and was about to put away the golden crystal thread, after all, using and maintaining this object consumed a lot of immortal spiritual power in his body.
Just at that moment, his eyebrows suddenly raised, and he remembered something, and stopped moving.
Han Li flipped his hand, and a green vial appeared in his palm, which was the Palm Heaven Bottle.
Over the years, he had explored this bottle countless times, but there were no major results. Now that he had comprehended the power of time and condensed this time crystal thread, he wondered if he could explore one or two secrets of this Palm Heaven Bottle?
With this thought in mind, Han Li took a deep breath and was about to pinch a magic seal in his hand to activate the golden crystal thread.
Just at that moment, an accident happened!
The Palm Heaven Bottle suddenly burst into bright light, emitting a dazzling green light, as dazzling as a green sun, and shot out of his hand, hovering in mid-air.
At the same time, the Mantra Treasure Wheel behind Han Li also lit up and rotated rapidly.
With a "whoosh" sound, the golden crystal thread suddenly became straight, then shot out and disappeared into the Mantra Treasure Wheel in a flash.
Buzz!
The Mantra Treasure Wheel blazed with light, ten times brighter than usual, and all the time Dao patterns bloomed completely.
Golden light gathered in the center of the treasure wheel and quickly condensed into the Eye of Truth.
This eye had not yet opened, but it was even more dazzling with golden light, and countless golden runes flickered around it, wriggling like living things.
Han Li's face changed slightly, but he just stood there and did nothing else.
He had already noticed from just now that whether it was the Palm Heaven Bottle, the Mantra Treasure Wheel, or even the time crystal thread, they had all escaped his control, just like before.
While Han Li was surprised, he also had some expectations deep in his heart.
The Palm Heaven Bottle had undergone several mutations before, each time bringing him no small surprise, but he wondered what would happen this time.
While pondering, the Palm Heaven Bottle and the Mantra Treasure Wheel echoed each other, and the light they emitted became brighter and brighter. Waves of extremely powerful fluctuations spread out, and the entire cave trembled.
Just at that moment, the Eye of Truth suddenly opened, and a crystal thread shot out from it, which was the time crystal thread.
The crystal thread flashed and disappeared into the Palm Heaven Bottle.
With a "buzz" sound!
The green light on the surface of the Palm Heaven Bottle blazed, and its size increased rapidly, turning into the size of a millstone in the blink of an eye.
Countless green runes appeared on the bottle wall, moving quickly on it, and flickering, like stars in the night sky.
These green runes suddenly flashed and shot out from the bottle wall, converging into a cloud of green, churning endlessly.
Within the green cloud, a vortex-shaped pattern faintly appeared.
A special aura fluctuated from the green cloud. This aura was not strong, but the void near the Palm Heaven Bottle fluctuated violently, rippling with visible waves.
Han Li's eyebrows rose, and his pupils shrank slightly.
Just at that moment, the light emitted by the Palm Heaven Bottle flashed, and the green cloud inside turned into a thick green beam of light, directly submerged into the void, tearing the void apart.
Rumble!
Countless crystal lights emerged from the torn void and coalesced into the previous crystal wall.
Han Li frowned slightly, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
He had already seen this crystal wall, and it was indeed powerful and had many wonderful uses.
However, he had high expectations for the Palm Heaven Bottle this time, and originally thought that this bottle would show some other magical powers this time, but he did not expect it to still be this crystal wall.
But then, his heart moved.
Although the crystal wall was still the same as before, a green vortex pattern appeared on it, which was the one that had appeared in the bottle.
Rumble!
The crystal wall trembled, and countless crystal lights flowed on it, and scenes flashed quickly from time to time.
The green vortex on the crystal wall suddenly flickered, and countless streamers on the crystal wall were swallowed by it like a tide, and the vortex quickly became larger.
At first, it was only the size of a washbasin, but in a few breaths, it had turned into the size of a house, spinning rapidly.
Boom!
A huge and peculiar suction suddenly emanated from the vortex, enveloping Han Li's body.
Han Li's face changed.
At this moment, he only felt that his body was completely unaffected by this suction, but the power of his soul in his mind shot out without any resistance, and disappeared into it in a flash.
But before he could do anything, he felt a burst of pain in his mind, followed by darkness in front of his eyes, and he lost consciousness.
In a daze, he did not know how long had passed, maybe it was an instant, or maybe it was ten thousand years.
Han Li's consciousness slowly recovered, and he slowly opened his eyes.
What came into view was a dilapidated roof, with cobwebs hanging all over the beams. The roof was broken with several large holes, and he could see the sky above his head.
He seemed to hear some sounds in his ears, sometimes near and sometimes far, intermittent and very noisy.
At this moment, Han Li felt pain all over his body, and it was difficult to move even a finger.
He turned his head with difficulty and looked to the side, and soon understood the situation he was in.
He was lying on a bed at the moment, and the surrounding seemed to be a dilapidated temple. As for the sounds in his ears, it was a rather sturdy yellow-clothed teenager, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his skin was slightly golden in color. He was kneeling by the bed, crying with his head down.
Seeing this situation, Han Li was stunned.
Where was this place? Wasn't he exploring the Palm Heaven Bottle in the cave? Why did he come to this strange place?
Han Li was about to try his best to recall, but at that moment, he only felt a shock in his mind, followed by a burst of splitting headache, which made him involuntarily hold his head in his hands and let out a muffled groan.
Fortunately, this stinging sensation was only fleeting.
He had just breathed a sigh of relief, but then his expression froze, and a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
Just now, a strange and chaotic memory appeared out of thin air and poured into his mind.
These memories were not complete, but seemed to be fragments.
The teenager beside the bed heard the sound from Han Li's mouth and suddenly raised his head. His face was still covered with tears, but his eyes showed surprise, and he said in a trembling voice:
"Master... Master, you're awake?"
