Cultivators of Recent Antiquity, Middle Antiquity, High Antiquity, Remote Antiquity, and Primordial Antiquity!

"Summon Dong Qing, Chief of the Army Suppression Division; Qian Dabao, Chief of the Spirit Source Division; Li Nanci, Chief of the Artifact Manufacturing Division; Jiang Wuxie, Chief of the Ten Thousand Spirits Division; Lu Changming, Chief of the Heaven Surveillance Division Dao Propagation Division Lu Changming; Lu Changye, Chief of the Pill and Dharma Division; Ye Chenfeng, Chief of the Celestial Surveillance Command, to the Dao Lord's Dharma Hall for a meeting immediately!"

Lu Li issued the order, Heart of Primordial Beginning was to be transmitted swiftly.

Of course, Dong Qing, Jiang Wuxie, and Ye Chenfeng, the three leading men, were all out fighting and raiding.

It's impossible for me to get back immediately.

Only four people actually entered the Dharma Hall.

"Greetings, Sect Leader!"

"Greetings, Master!"

The four people were addressed by different names.

Yet no one addressed Lu Li as the Dao Lord.

In fact, Lu Li didn't like this title either, and still thought "Sect Leader" sounded better.

However, the Great Xia was considering the future of the Dao Court in terms of dominating the four seas, ruling over all races, and suppressing the Western Continent.

The title of sect leader has become somewhat weaker.

If we call him the Dao Lord, it will be somewhat more convenient for understanding the future situation of the Dao Court.

However, even the core members and inner disciple of the original Dao Academy knew that Lu Li liked it.

In private, he still addressed Lu Li as "Sect Leader".

"Okay, please sit down. Don't be nervous. I called you here to have a chat."

Lu Li waved his hand.

Several spirit wood chairs were released.

It exudes a faint, spiritual fragrance; just placing your buttocks on it calms your mind.

"Yes... yes!"

Li Nanci and the others responded and sat down properly.

Since the last time Lu Li defied two realms and angrily slashed Void Return...

Their feelings towards Lu Li had evolved beyond mere admiration; there were other implications.

The most obvious sign was a sense of fear.

Anyone who witnessed that great battle would never be able to remain calm and composed when facing Lu Li up close again.

This is how Li Nanci and the other three are now.

The Changming Changye were alright, as the two were Lu Li's personal disciples.

There wasn't much unusual about it.

Li Nanci and Qian Dabao, on the other hand, felt their skin crawl under Lu Li's gaze.

"Sect Leader... Sect Leader, is there something you need?"

Li Nanci's voice trembled slightly.

I couldn't help but ask.

Lu Li looked the two of them up and down.

There was no concealment; they spoke frankly and openly.

" Nanci, that Heart of Second Primordial you forged seems a bit off."

"Why did you resort to violence last time?"

"And Dabao, Changye, show me that statue and the small bottle again."

Lu Li didn't ask Changming.

How could he, as the master, possibly accept the sachet that Dongfang Jiangxue had given him?

The three people beside him heard what Lu Li said.

They all stared blankly.

It wasn't that I was afraid, it's just that I didn't expect Lu Li to bring this up.

The three of them didn't hesitate and openly summoned their respective items from their bodies.

"Please take a look, Master."

A tiny, exquisite die, about the size of a thumb.

An ancient-looking statue and a small, green bottle came into Lu Li's view.

Unlike the first time I saw these three items, this time...

Looking at its form again, Lu Li noticed that the three lines of energy of different colors were exceptionally dense.

Li Nanci's exquisite dice revealed a deep blue aura.

It exudes an extremely rich and powerful sense of the object.

"It's clearly only at the third-tier Law Artifact level, not even Law Treasure yet."

"Yet it possesses such a rich aura of a magical artifact, even more so than some fifth-tier Law Treasure."

"These exquisite dice are truly bizarre."

"And this small bottle containing the deity's image..."

Lu Li shifted his gaze.

The ancient statue exuded a dark golden aura.

It carries a hint of something similar to, yet different from, the Race Karmic Luck.

The small, light green bottle is an intensely green, brimming with vitality.

"These three items each have their own origins."

"The effects vary, and it is difficult to know which means of preservation can still exert extraordinary power after ten thousand years."

"I'm afraid we still need to question a few people more thoroughly."

Lu Li pondered for a moment, then raised his hand in a gesture of invitation without speaking.

Three lines of energy, each a different color, were drawn out and suspended in the hall.

" Nanci, this item was crafted for you."

"After you complete the process, there may be changes that you have not yet noticed."

Li Nanci was taken aback, but spoke respectfully.

"Reporting to the Sect Leader, this was indeed refined by this disciple, but it seems there were too many miscellaneous texts and records included."

" The Artifact Inscription and patterns for artifacts didn't keep up, so they became less effective later on."

"But..."

Li Nanci, then said somewhat uncertainly.

"However, later, as the Dao Academy waged war, I recorded all the secret stories and ancient books I had collected from various Dongting Blessed Land."

"These dice seem to have some power now; they might even be able to fight back in a crisis."

"Especially those ancient and mysterious books, they seem to be able to enhance one's abilities, even those belonging to ordinary people."

Upon hearing this, Lu Li's gaze flickered slightly, but he said nothing more.

He nodded and turned to Qian Dabao and Lu Changye.

" Dabao, Changye, tell me about the two of you."

"Yes, Master!"

The two responded respectfully.

Let me explain in detail.

The items they obtained were actually from the same place.

They were all obtained when the auction house was being built in Litian Grand Market.

One item per person, the specific origin of which is unknown.

"Sect Leader, this disciple is not entirely clear about the specific effects and origins of this statue."

"I only know that after each devout worship, I feel a sense of peace."

"Furthermore, the characters 'Primordial Ancient' are finely engraved below the statue. I have verified that 'Primordial Ancient' refers to a period of millions of years ago."

"Master, the effects of this little bottle are clear, but its origin is equally unknown."

"However, the longer it accumulates, the better the effect of the small bottle."

After listening to the three people's stories, Lu Li silent for a long time.

Thoughts fell silent.

Carefully study the commonalities among these three things.

The three items have different effects and basically have nothing in common.

The methods of use vary greatly.

But Lu Li felt that in a certain place, these three things were extremely similar.

"Feeding ancient books, the Primordial Annals..."

"Accumulate... time!"

Lu Li's pupils contracted sharply.

It seemed as if they had suddenly discovered something.

What these three things have in common is time!

The exquisite dice need to be fed with ancient books to be upgraded.

The older the better.

The ancient statue itself is very likely an antique.

As for the small green bottle, although it can increase the age of spiritual items, the effect is not significant. Only by accumulating more years before using it will it have a noticeable effect.

From these three points, Lu Li finally understood.

He even suddenly had a guess about the existence behind Dongfang Jiangxue.

"Time!"

"It's all about time!"

"These three Heavenly Fate all seem to possess artifacts as their trump cards."

Even Li Nanci's dice require ancient texts to unleash their power.

"The fact that it can still exert such great effectiveness after so many years, even to the point of almost resisting the Void Return, what does that tell us?"

This demonstrates that these three artifacts would have been even more extraordinary in their own time!

"The mysterious person behind Dongfang Jiangxue, who has lived for tens of thousands of years, is still comparable to Venerable."

"And it's absolutely impossible that it only existed for ten thousand years."

"Her actual timeline is probably more complicated than I imagined."

Lu Li was surprised by the result of his own guess.

In the Immortal Realm of cultivation, there is a saying, "Whether it is a person or an object, the older they get, the more demonic they become."

This situation is perfect for Dongfang Jiangxue!

Although the mysterious entity behind Dongfang Jiangxue is unknown.

However, Lu Li could roughly deduce that it was definitely not a cultivator from the recent or medieval period.

It might not even be High Antiquity or prehistoric.

Rather, it is the cultivation of the Primordial Era!

Upon hearing this thought, Lu Li was both surprised and even more puzzled.

" The Yin-Yang School scheme is quite profound. How could an ancient cultivator possibly be subject to the checks and balances of this generation of Yin-Yang School?"
