Two semi-transparent rune clusters on the Mantra Treasure Wheel, as described in the "Mantra Wheel Transformation Sutra," were called Time Dao Runes, an external manifestation of the law of time.

The more Time Dao Runes, the more powerful the Mantra Treasure Wheel would be.

Under normal circumstances, each time a person who had condensed the Mantra Treasure Wheel opened an immortal aperture, they had a chance to condense a Time Dao Rune, but it was only a chance, with a success rate of about half.

When opening twelve immortal apertures, which is when advancing to the mid-stage of the True Immortal Realm, only those who had condensed six Time Dao Runes could be said to have truly cultivated the first level of the "Mantra Wheel Transformation Sutra." A Mantra Treasure Wheel with six Time Dao Runes could slow things down by a factor of one.

If a cultivator was unlucky and had fewer than six Time Dao Runes on their Mantra Treasure Wheel, they would never have the chance to cultivate the second level of the "Mantra Wheel Transformation Sutra."

In the Candle Dragon Dao, it was already rare for someone to condense the Mantra Treasure Wheel. Those who could cultivate the "Mantra Wheel Transformation Sutra" to the second level were probably even fewer. It wasn't that they didn't want to, but they were powerless to do so.

Moreover, the Time Dao Runes on the Mantra Treasure Wheel were based on six. If the number of Time Dao Runes didn't reach six, even if there were five, the slowing effect would be minimal.

As for those who took shortcuts and used magical artifacts to replace the Mantra Treasure Wheel, the probability of condensing Time Dao Runes on the pseudo-wheel after opening the immortal apertures was greatly reduced. Generally, after completing the first level, which is opening twelve immortal apertures, there were many who only condensed two or three Time Dao Runes on the pseudo-wheel.

However, by using the power of the laws inherent in the materials of the pseudo-wheel, it was possible to add Dao Runes of other laws. It just depended on the materials used for the pseudo-wheel and luck as to how many other Dao Runes would appear.

Some were lucky enough to add seven or eight other Dao Runes to the pseudo-wheel in one go, making its power no less than a Houtian Immortal Artifact. Others were unlucky and could only add one or two, making the pseudo-wheel as useless as chicken ribs.

Han Li looked at the two Time Dao Runes on the Mantra Treasure Wheel, feeling surprised and a little disbelief.

Logically speaking, even if he was lucky enough to condense a Time Dao Rune when opening the first immortal aperture, it would only be one. But his true wheel had two solid ones.

In any case, it was always a good thing to condense two Time Dao Runes in one go. In this way, the pressure on his subsequent cultivation would be much less.

Han Li took a deep breath and suddenly activated the spell.

The Mantra Treasure Wheel behind him immediately accelerated and spun, emitting a faint golden ripple that spread out from his body, instantly covering a range of ten zhang around him.

Within the range covered by the golden ripple, the void trembled slightly, and then returned to normal. From an external observation, there was nothing unusual.

Han Li closed his eyes and sensed the changes around him. It seemed that everything within this range had become slightly slower—the flow of air, the transmission of sound, and even the operation of the heaven and earth spiritual energy were somewhat sluggish.

At first glance, it had quite a few similarities with the slowing effects of some speed laws and gravity laws.

"This is the law of time. It's truly magical!" he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It was a pity that the slowing effect was so minimal at the moment that it was almost negligible. Therefore, in terms of fighting against enemies, it seemed that the pseudo-wheel was more powerful. This was probably another main reason why other cultivators were willing to condense pseudo-wheels.

Han Li smiled, the golden light on his body flashed and disappeared, and the Mantra Treasure Wheel behind him also disappeared.

He stood up, walked out of the secret chamber, and came to a room next door.

On the table in this room was a cyan communication array disk, buzzing and trembling, emitting a water-like cyan light, condensing into a cyan light罩.

Inside the light罩 were two white communication talismans, scurrying around like headless flies.

Han Li waved his hand, the cyan light罩 dissipated, and the two communication talismans flew into his hand. His spiritual sense entered them.

In these three years, except for the last year or so when he was wholeheartedly in seclusion to break through the bottleneck, he also moved around the various mountain peaks in the sect, searching for the whereabouts of the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords. In addition, he also tried to sense them with the Eight Spirit Jar.

Unfortunately, the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords seemed to have disappeared completely, and no trace could be sensed.

Although he didn't achieve his goal, he was considered to have gained some familiarity within the sect, and he knew many True Immortals with similar status, especially with several executive elders who were originally rogue cultivators. They had a pretty good relationship.

His spiritual sense quickly withdrew. The two communication talismans were sent by two inner sect elders, inviting him to perform a mission together, but without thinking, he directly took out two blank communication talismans, stated the situation, and politely declined.

Right now, he was in no mood to perform any missions.

Not long after, Han Li appeared in the medicine garden inside the cave, holding the Palm Heaven Bottle in his hand, looking at it carefully. Next to him stood a giant ape with a height of about ten zhang, its eyes looking somewhat dull. It was obviously a puppet.

During his last seclusion, he naturally didn't continue to condense crystalline grains, but he didn't let the green liquid go to waste. He arranged for such a giant ape puppet to control the green liquid and irrigate several ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs for future use.

While Han Li was thinking thoughtfully about something, he squatted down and dripped the green liquid onto a spiritual herb in front of him.

As a result, at this moment, an accident occurred!

A faint golden light suddenly appeared on his body, and then the Mantra Treasure Wheel behind him flashed with golden light, unexpectedly appearing spontaneously without any warning.

In the medicine garden, a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herb closest to him trembled gently, and a layer of crystal light appeared on its surface, seemingly echoing the Mantra Treasure Wheel.

Han Li couldn't help but be startled and stood up.

The golden light on his body flashed and disappeared, and the Mantra Treasure Wheel behind him also disappeared. The ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herb immediately returned to calm.

Seeing this situation, Han Li was a little stunned. After a slight hesitation, he squatted down again, trying to get closer to the ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herb.

Buzz!

The spiritual herb trembled gently again, and a faint layer of crystal light appeared on its surface.

A faint golden light reappeared on his body, and the Mantra Treasure Wheel also appeared, as if the two were resonating.

"What's going on?"

Han Li frowned and moved his body closer to the medicine garden.

In the next moment, several Zhushu spiritual herbs with a lifespan of more than ten thousand years all trembled, and the older they were, the more violently they trembled. However, those with a lifespan of thousands of years did not seem to have any reaction.

After a slight hesitation, he suddenly thought of something, stood up, and with a flip of his hand, took out two jade boxes and directly opened the lids.

Inside the boxes were two spiritual herbs, emitting an extremely rich spiritual energy, and their lifespan had reached more than ten thousand years.

As a result, the dark green spiritual herb in the left jade box buzzed and trembled, while the light red spiritual herb in the right box was motionless.

The dark green spiritual herb was ripened by the green liquid, while the light red spiritual herb was obtained from Fang Pan's storage bracelet.

"Could it be that my cultivation of this 'Mantra Wheel Transformation Sutra' is so smooth, and I even condensed two Time Dao Runes on the true wheel at once, is it all related to this?" Han Li flipped his hand and put away the two spiritual herbs, muttering to himself.

One year later, Crimson Cloud Peak.

The setting sun slanted down, and the orange-red afterglow sprinkled down, covering the entire peak, revealing a gentle warmth.

A spacious courtyard, mostly hidden in the elongated shadows of the setting sun, seemed a bit dim and very quiet.

Beside a stone table and stone凳 in the courtyard, a delicate girl in red was趴 on the stone table, her two white jade-like slender hands crossed together, holding her delicate and tender little face, looking a little listless.

Half a day ago, she had just come out of seclusion, and finally condensed the Golden Core successfully, becoming a Core Formation cultivator.

Originally, she wanted to share the good news with her brother, but she found that almost everyone in the entire mansion was in busy cultivation, and she felt a little lost for a while.

"I wonder what Elder Li is doing..." The girl turned her head and looked in the direction of the cave, muttering to herself.

Besides her brother Meng Yungui, the person she most wanted to share the news of her cultivation improvement with was this Elder Li.

For some reason, everyone in the mansion, including her brother Meng Yungui, had great awe for this Elder Li. Only she felt from the bottom of her heart that this young Elder Li was not as aloof and ruthless as the other elders in the sect, but rather like an older brother in the family.

……

At this moment, in the secret chamber of Han Li's cave.

The white round beads inlaid on the wall emitted a dazzling white light, illuminating the entire secret chamber.

Han Li, wearing an elder's robe, was sitting cross-legged on a蒲团.

In front of him, a cyan-black square array disk was floating leisurely in the air, and the two Moving Star Stones inlaid on it were shining brightly, and a blue light array was condensed from it.

After a while, the blue light array flickered with white light, and strange waves were transmitted from it.

In the center of the blue light array, the void moved slightly, and a fist-sized ball of black Heavy Water was传送过来.

Seeing this, Han Li waved his hand and absorbed the ball of Heavy Water into his palm, and then put away the Big Dipper Heavenly Star Disk.

Although the ball of Heavy Water in front of him was not large, it was different from the Heavy Water传送 earlier. It contained a trace of the power of the law of water that Han Li had specially asked his Earth Fiend Incarnation to传送过来.

What he wants to do now is to refine a forged Mantra Treasure Wheel through this Heavy Water containing the power of law.

In fact, as early as when he discovered that his condensation of the Mantra Treasure Wheel and Time Dao Runes had an abnormality, he had already decided to refine a fake true wheel.

After all, although this matter cannot be completely confirmed to be related to the Palm Heaven Bottle's ability to ripen, no matter what, he cannot let outsiders discover any clues, otherwise his troubles will be great.

As soon as Han Li thought of this, after holding the Heavy Water in one hand, he waved his other palm in front of him.

Several rays of light flashed one after another. A piece of black meteorite iron the size of a palm, a water-blue crystal clear pearl, a drop of blue liquid like the blood of a strange beast, and a piece of water翳 ore reflecting a black light successively emerged and fell in front of him.
