<h4>Chapter 628: Searching</h4>


    Immediately thereafter, the Eye of Truth released another beam of golden light that vanished into the Time Severing gon in a sh, and a burst of radiant golden light appeared over its surface as well.


    The gon was looking rather old and battered, and it quickly reverted back to its brand new form while giving off a burst of formidable timew power fluctuations.


    Han Li closed his eyes to examine the timew powers to discover that it was rather simr to that of the Mantra Treasured Axis.


    Both timew powers had a time-slowing effect, and due to the ovep, there was no need for him to waste time on examining this treasure any further.


    After setting down the Time Severing gon, he pulled out his Heaven Controlling Vial, then tipped the drop of green spirit liquid into the gon before closing his eyes to examine what was happening inside the gon with his spiritual sense.


    Some timeter, he reopened his eyes and heaved a faint sigh.


    The Time Severing gon was indeed able to slow down the rate of decay of its contents, but it couldn''tpletely counteract the effects of time. The drop of green spirit liquid was dissipating at a rate slower than normal, but it was still slowly dissipating, nheless.


    With a shake of his head, he turned to the azure wooden ruler before gazing upon it with his Eye of Truth.


    A beam of golden light shot forth before vanishing into the ruler, causing it to shudder slightly.


    Externally, its appearance didn''t change much, and it began to glow with radiant golden and azure light. Furthermore, the timew power fluctuations that it was giving off were even more formidable than that of the Time Severing gon.


    Han Li''s eyes lit up slightly upon seeing this, and he immediately closed his eyes to conduct a closer examination.


    In doing so, he discovered that the timew powers imbued within the wooden ruler had a time eleration effect simr to that of his Reversal True Axis.


    However, unlike his Reversal True Axis, which only affected the user, the timew powers within the wooden ruler could alter the rate of passage of time in an area.


    In this regard, it was rather simr to the Illusory Dawn Sand Sea.


    After stowing away his Mantra Treasured Axis, Han Li took a deep breath, then closed his eyes to ponder the three types of timew powers that he had just witnessed.


    Around half a month passed by in a sh, and as Han Li opened his eyes, a hint of enlightenment shed through them.


    It seemed that he had further deepened his understanding of thews of time.


    In particr, after repeatedly examining the timew powers imbued within the azure wooden ruler, he had improved his understanding of the connection between the Mantra Axis Scripture and the Illusory Dawn Treasured Scripture.


    He made a hand seal to summon his Mantra Treasured Axis, and at the same time, he also summoned his Clear Time Vial.


    Simultaneously, a burst of golden light emerged over his body before spreading outward to form countless grains of golden sand.


    Channeling all three time-attribute cultivation arts at once, three bursts of different timew powers surged through the secret chamber before intertwining with one another.


    Compared withst time, the three timew powers were resonating far more strongly than before, particrly the timew powers of the Mantra Treasured Axis and the Illusory Dawn Sand Sea.


    A hint of tion shed through Han Li''s eyes upon seeing this, and he began to fuse the three timew powers once again.


    The three bodies of golden light intertwined with one another to form a rumbling vortex, and given what had happenedst time, Han Li decided it was best to take some precautionary measures.


    With that in mind, he swept a sleeve through the air to release a string of azure array gs that were littered throughout the entire secret chamber to form a thick azure light barrier.


    Immediately thereafter, he also released a flurry of yellow array gs that formed a semi-transparent yellow restriction in the air.


    The azure and yellow restrictions fused with each other to form an even more resilient light barrier, while Han Li summoned several defensive immortal treasures to protect himself before he continued with what he was doing.


    The golden vortex began to rapidly elerate in its revolution while slowly shrinking in size, and countless golden runes of different sizes appeared within it before shing violently against one another, sending violent timew power fluctuations surging through the air.


    Given his previous experience, Han Li already knew what to expect, and he pressed on without pause, causing the golden vortex to brighten and contract even further.


    A fearsomew aura surged out of the center of the vortex, and it seemed to be on the brink of exploding.


    After a brief hesitation, Han Li continued to persevere, and the golden vortex abruptly shrank down even further, bringing it even closer to the verge of explosion.


    Right at this moment, the three bursts of fiercely shing timew powers suddenly mellowed out before fusing as one, while the churning golden runes stiffened before transforming into a tiny golden ring.


    A hint of relief surfaced in Han Li''s eyes upon seeing this.


    With that, he had confirmed that he hadn''t just fused the three timew powers by blind luckst time.


    He had no idea what this golden ring was, but it clearly possessed extraordinary power.


    Bursts of vast timew power fluctuations were surging out of the golden ring, causing the nearby azure and yellow light barriers to ripple violently, but they were able to hold themselves together.


    Right at this moment, the Heaven Controlling Vial suddenly flew up from the ground before approaching the golden ring.


    At the same time, the three time-attribute immortal treasures on the ground had also flown up alongside the Heaven Controlling Vial, much to Han Li''s surprise.


    The golden ring seemed to have detected something, and it began to glow more radiantly than ever.


    The three immortal treasures were clearly far lighter than the Heaven Controlling Vial, and they were the first to be sucked into the golden ring.


    A loud explosion rang out as the three immortal treasures instantly exploded upon flying into the golden ring, forming three balls of radiant golden light that vanished into the ring.


    The golden ring lit up even further, and it abruptly expelled eight translucent golden threads. These were none other than timew threads, and they shot into Han Li''s body in a sh before appearing around his Mantra Treasured Axis.


    With that, the number of timew threads around the Mantra Treasured Axis had increased to twenty-six, and all of them were glowing radiantly, much to Han Li''s shock and tion.


    It seemed that this golden ring was capable of refining time-attribute immortal treasures into timew threads!


    Right at this moment, the Heaven Controlling Vial began to glow with dazzling green radiance before being sucked into the golden ring, upon which it instantly swelled to the size of a house, and countless green runes emerged within the vial to form a churning green cloud.


    A burst of formidablew power fluctuations erupted out of the green cloud, and the Mantra Treasured Axis behind Han Li abruptly lit up, following which the Eye of Truth appeared at its center.


    The Eye of Truth released a translucent golden thread that shot into the Heaven Controlling Vial in a sh, and this golden thread was far thicker than the one fromst time.


    All of a sudden, a thick pir of green light erupted out of the Heaven Controlling Vial to part the space up ahead, and a vast expanse of translucent light surged forth to form a translucent wall with countless scenes rapidly shing over its surface.


    A faint smile appeared on Han Li''s face upon seeing this.


    In the past, his spiritual transmigrations had taken cepletely out of his control, but he had finally found a way to trigger the Heaven Controlling Vial into activating this ability.


    The wall of translucent light glowed brighter and brighter, and an enormous rumbling vortex appeared on its surface.


    The vortex released a burst of suction force that was far more tremendous thanst time, and it enveloped Han Li''s entire body before sucking him toward the vortex.


    A hint of surprise shed through Han Li''s eyes upon seeing this. Could it be that this vortex was going to suck in his physical body as well.


    However, it seemed like vortex''s suction force wasn''t sufficient to get the job done, and in the next instant, hended back on the ground.


    However, his soul was still sucked out of his body without being able to pose any resistance, and his consciousness instantly faded.


    Some timeter, he slowly returned to his senses, then began to inspect his surroundings, upon which he discovered that he had returned to that murky gray space once again, with the huge silver river flowing through the air beside him.


    A contemtive look appeared on his face upon seeing this.


    It seemed like whenever the Heaven Controlling Vial was triggered by the immense timew powers of the golden ring, his soul would be transported to this ce.


    He carefully thought back to what had taken ce just now, and it urred to him that during both of thetest transmigrations, the vortex on the translucent wall had disyed signs of sucking in his physical body.


    On top of that, the suction force released by the vortex just now was clearly far more powerful than before.


    Compared with thest transmigration, neither his powers nor his mastery over thews of time had improved, and the only real difference was the eight timew threads that he had suddenly attained.


    <i>Could it be that if I can attain a sufficient number of timew threads, my physical body will also be transported to this ce? </i>


    After mulling over this notion for a moment, Han Li quickly cast aside this train of thought before flying over to the silver river.


    There were countless balls of light of different sizes flowing through the river, each of which depicted a different shing image.


    Given his previous experience, he now knew that each ball of light represented something that had happened in the past. He didn''t know where these balls of light came from, but through them, he could choose where his soul was sent to.


    Han Li made sure to keep his distance from the balls of light as he observed them from afar, and he also refrained from extending his spiritual sense toward them.


    The balls of light flowed past peacefully without sucking in his soul, and Han Li was quite relieved to see this.


    It seemed that as long as kept his distance and restrained his own spiritual sense, no transmigration would take ce.


    With that in mind, he began to carefully inspect the passing balls of light.


    They were all traveling at an astonishing speed, but with his exceptional eyesight, he was still able to see many things.
