As for the two Law Treasure...
None of these are people that a cultivator at Han Xuanji's stage should be in contact with.
The Hunyuan Wheel of Time is a supreme treasure naturally born from the Great Dao of the Eternal Continent. Its disc is engraved with countless time sequences, and its rotation can stir up the entire world's light and time.
The object's exterior is a huge wheel, densely covered with countless markings, occupying a large portion of the System Space.
Han Xuanji tried to probe with his divine sense, only to find that his consciousness had just touched the edge of the roulette wheel when he was swept back by a vast and despairing torrent of time, leaving his soul in a daze.
If this wasn't produced by the system, it might be a bit difficult to handle.
He decisively stopped, letting this treasure continue to gather dust in the System Space.
This thing is too advanced; he doesn't even need to think about it now.
The Clock of Years and the clock above his head are the same type of treasure, but unfortunately, they are not something he can easily control right now, so he can only leave them for now.
The " Time Slash " Divine Ability could indeed be added as an offensive method.
However, it is not suitable for sparring, because every move is a fatal blow, and it is difficult to control the degree of force.
If you accidentally kill off your opponent's lifespan during a match, that would be a real problem.
Therefore, this Divine Ability can only be used as a trump card, and should not be used lightly except in life-or-death battles.
The remaining Time Dao Embryo and Saint Mark of Time should be things he can use right now.
After the Time Dao Embryo merges with his divine soul, he can remain in a peak state forever, unaffected by the erosion of time, and his speed in cultivating time-related Cultivation Method will be greatly enhanced.
The only trouble is that he needs to constantly suppress the unconscious absorption of time and space by the Dao Embryo into the surrounding living beings, but with the title of Lord of Time, it shouldn't be difficult for him to control it perfectly.
The Saint Mark of Time is similar to the Sword Dao Saint Mark before it; it's like a powerful being of the Great Dao of Great Dao of Time displaying their own Great Dao before you, which can greatly enhance your understanding of the Great Dao of Time.
Of course, absorbing the insights of these powerful individuals is not easy.
It's like an ordinary person trying to completely memorize a book of millions of words and understand all its contents.
This is also a considerable challenge for Han Xuanji.
However, once you fully comprehend it, the rewards are unimaginable.
Han Xuanji planned to digest these two things before attempting to break through to the Holy Lord Realm.
He sat down cross-legged and first guided the Saint Mark of Time into his sea of consciousness.
The mark, like a wisp of pale silver thread, silently entered his body and merged into his soul, transforming into countless fragmented insights into time that unfolded in his mind.
He then merged the Time Dao Embryo into his divine soul.
The moment the Dao Embryo entered his body, he felt every pore on his body open up, as if he were being soaked in a warm spring, feeling completely refreshed from the inside out.
He tried to integrate it into his body, and the Dao Embryo seemed to have no intention of resisting, so it went very smoothly.
During the fusion phase, he unconsciously emitted a kind of suction force in all directions, but fortunately there was no one else in the area, so it wasn't a big problem.
Once Han Xuanji has fully integrated with it, he will be able to completely control this power.
It might even become a means of attack in combat against the enemy.
Just as Han Xuanji was diligently cultivating in the Time Domain, preparing to break through to the Holy Lord Realm...
Deep in the Heavenly South Desolate Domain, a storm is brewing.
After Zi obtained the power of the candle, his strength increased dramatically.
Originally, he was just a minor leader of a force in the Heavenly South Desolate Domain, but now he is showing signs of becoming a regional warlord.
Those Eternal Deity who weren't particularly powerful changed their allegiance quickly and came to join them.
Not having enough territory, Zi became so ruthless that he started to covet Han's territory.
The ox seemed to be wary of something and remained unmoved, which only fueled the ox's arrogance.
As a result, even some Eternal Deity and powerful beasts of the Holy Lord level began to gravitate towards Zi's command.
On this day, Zi sat upright in his Savage Wilderness palace, listening to his subordinates report the news of various parties defecting to him, and the corners of his mouth widened into a grin.
He stood up, walked to the palace gate, and looked into the distance, a hint of eager anticipation flashing in his eyes.
With the support of a candlestick behind him, he has more confidence than ever before.
Even if we swallow up the power of a cultivator's province, or even several provinces, what is there to fear?
Just as he was happily planning his next expansion, a subordinate suddenly came in to report that a cultivator was requesting an audience, claiming to be the patriarch of the Teng Household of Nine Mysteries City.
Zi raised an eyebrow.
Did the cultivators take the initiative to come to him?
That's quite rare.
He waved his hand, signaling his men to bring the person in.
A moment later, a figure entered the hall.
The newcomer appeared to be around forty years old, with a lean face. He wore a brocade robe with the Teng Household family crest embroidered on the hem, and his every move carried the air of a respected elder of the Aristocratic Clan.
But this reserve vanished quickly upon entering the palace. He bowed respectfully to Chao Zi, his waist bent extremely low, his voice carrying a deliberately suppressed fawning tone:
" Teng Yunhai of the Teng Household greets Lord Zi."
Zi looked him up and down, a playful smile spreading across his lips.
He did know about the Teng Household.
The Sage Aristocratic Clan in Nine Mysteries City have been operating for many years and have amassed considerable wealth.
This person is a prominent figure in the cultivation community, so it's quite rare for him to come and bow down to him.
He didn't rush to speak, but leaned back on the stone seat, staring at Teng Yunhai with his eerie vertical pupils, waiting for the other party to explain his purpose.
Teng Yunhai felt a chill run down his spine under the gaze of those vertical pupils, but he still forced himself to continue speaking:
"Lord Zi, I have come here to make a deal with you."
He paused, seemingly considering his words:
"I have been operating in Nine Mysteries City for many years and know everything about Nine Mysteries Prefecture's defenses, military strength, and even the background of other prefectures. I can provide you with all of this intelligence."
In exchange, I only ask for a chance.
What opportunity?
Zi asked lazily.
"An opportunity for a breakthrough."
Teng Yunhai lowered his voice even further, a hint of undisguised longing flashing in his eyes.
"I've been stuck at the Middle Stage of Eternal Sage for far too many years. I've tried every method I could and consumed every elixir I could, but this bottleneck just won't budge."
I know that if I continue my cultivation step by step, this life will probably come to an end.
Therefore, I humbly request that Lord Zi grant me a way out. Even if... even if it means transforming into another life form, I will accept it.
Upon hearing this, Zi paused for a moment, then threw his head back and laughed loudly. He then spoke slowly, his tone tinged with amusement:
"You're quite honest. I've seen plenty of people from the cultivators' side; they're either all talk and no action or just pretending to be friendly."
"You're the first person I've ever met who's come directly to me to do business."
Teng Yunhai's expression remained unchanged, but he bent over even lower:
"Having lived for so many years, I've long since seen through it all. All these so-called factions and traditions are just illusions."
Only one's own cultivation level is real.
If you don't improve your strength, living a long life is pointless.
These words made Zi look at him with newfound respect.
Because that's what he thought too.
