A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Immortal Realm

Chapter 270: Space-time Restoration

With that in mind, a peculiar look flashed through Han Li's eyes.

Even though he had only mastered the first level of the cultivation art, he had already manifested 24 Time Dao Runes on his Mantra Treasured Axis, so he was naturally able to cultivate the Eye of Truth secret technique.

He made a hand seal as he began to chant an incantation, and his Mantra Treasured Axis instantly appeared behind him amid a flash of golden light.

The white finch standing on the stone monument was still nibbling at the moss, but it immediately raised its head and turned to Han Li upon sensing the law fluctuations emanating from the Mantra Treasured Axis, and its movements weren't slowed down at all.

Han Li took another glance at the cultivation art recorded on the stone monument, and a determined look appeared in his eyes as he began to chant the mantra for the second level of the cultivation art.

Shortly thereafter, he suddenly switched to a different hand seal, and his chanting also grew faster.

Meanwhile, the Mantra Treasured Axis began to revolve at a higher speed behind him while radiating dazzling golden light.

Initially, only six of the Time Dao Runes on the axis had been glowing, but the rest of them were lighting up one after another.

With each Time Dao Rune that lit up, the flow of time within a radius of 100 feet around Han Li would slow down a bit further, while the rotation of the Mantra Treasured Axis became faster.

Before long, the axis was revolving so quickly that it had turned into a blur, and faint golden threads could be seen surging out of the axis before converging toward the hole at the center of the axis.

Han Li could feel the immortal spiritual power in his body being rapidly expended at twice the rate of expenditure that he experienced during pill refinement.

He immediately flipped a hand over to summon an Immortal Origin Stone, using it to replenish his immortal spiritual power.

Shortly thereafter, the 12th Time Dao Rune lit up, and the entire Mantra Treasured Axis began to emit a loud buzzing sound as it abruptly ceased in its rotation.

All of the golden threads that had converged in the hole at the center of the axis had intertwined to form a fist-sized golden ball, which was shimmering with golden radiance.

Han Li's chanting also ceased upon seeing this, and all of a sudden, the light radiating from the ball of golden threads became as bright and dazzling as the sun.

The light was too bright for Han Li to stare into, so he involuntarily closed his eyes.

Several seconds later, the dazzling golden light finally began to gradually dim.

Han Li massaged his own eyes for a moment, then turned to look at the Mantra Treasured Axis behind him.

The axis had originally only been around a foot in size, but it seemed to have swelled slightly in size, and there was a large vertical eye that was tightly shut situated in the hole at its center.

So this is the Eye of Truth...

Han Li made a hand seal according to the description in the secret technique to activate the Eye of Truth, and this time, there was no massive outflow of immortal spiritual power like before.

12 of the Time Dao Runes on the Mantra Treasured Axis lit up in unison while releasing a burst of peculiar fluctuations, and the vertical golden eye shuddered, following which its golden eyelids parted down the center to the left and the right, revealing a golden eyeball.

The eyeball was completely golden in color, but its coloration wasn't even throughout. The golden hue at the center of the eye's pupil was clearly more vibrant, resembling a ball of molten gold.

The golden light radiating from the edge of the pupil was slightly less vibrant, and there was a concentrated circle of strange runes around it. Outside the circle of runes, the golden coloration was even fainter, and it wasn't even as pronounced as the golden color of the eyelids.

As soon as the Eye of Truth sprang open, the circle of runes around the pupils instantly began to rapidly revolve, while a burst of faint golden light was projected out of the pupil.

Han Li's heart stirred slightly upon seeing this, and he began to inspect his surroundings through the Eye of Truth instead of his physical eyes.

The surrounding mountains instantly fell away to reveal a series of semi-transparent spatial barriers, outside of which was a vast expanse of murky gray space, as if the entire area were enshrouded within a cloud of gray mist.

That's it?

If this were the extent of the power of the Eye of Truth, then it really wasn't much different from his Brightsight Spirit Eyes. It appeared that the Eye of Truth only allowed him to see some concealed things with a little more clarity, and that fell far short of his expectations.

He began to slowly turn around, and the Mantra Treasured Axis mirrored his movement, while the Eye of Truth also began to turn.

As Han Li turned to face the stone monument, the Eye of Truth did the same, and a layer of faint white light suddenly appeared over the monument.

The layer of light resembled a veil of thin smoke that obstructed his gaze, rendering him unable to clearly make out the text on the stone monument, and the white finch standing on the monument had also transformed into a ball of energy similar to the world's origin qi.

Han Li was very surprised to see this, and he began to activate his Mantra Treasured Axis to its full capacity.

Bright golden light emanated from the axis as the semi-transparent Time Dao Runes lit up one after another, and before long, all of them had been illuminated.

After all 24 Time Dao Runes had been activated, the golden light radiating from the Eye of Truth suddenly grew brighter, immediately following which a beam of golden light shot out of the eye's pupil, striking the layer of white light on the stone monument before instantly passing through.

The beam of white light was like a sharp blade that had sliced through the white light barrier and was beginning to tear it apart.

Right at this moment, the stone monument abruptly shuddered, startling the white finch and causing it to fly up into the air.

A burst of golden light appeared, and strange fluctuations began to surge out from within the stone monument. All of a sudden, Han Li was able to sense some rather faint yet familiar powers of time.

This stone monument is a treasure that contains the power of time!

Han Li was very much taken aback by this revelation, yet there were still more surprises to come.

A vast expanse of golden light began to surge out of the stone monument's fractured surface, and the broken section of the monument was rapidly being restored by the golden light.

Before long, the entire monument had been restored to its original state, looking as if it had been completely reconstructed, and even the damaged heads of the pair of beasts engraved on either side of the monument had been restored.

Could it be that this Eye of Truth is also able to repair objects and reconstruct treasures?

After a brief moment of contemplation, Han Li sprang up into the air, landing on top of the stone monument before reaching down to stroke the surface restored section of the monument.

However, as soon as his hand came into contact with the surface of the monument, it instantly passed right through.

So this is nothing more than a projection reflected by the Eye of Truth.

Han Li wasn't very surprised by this outcome, and he flew back down onto the ground before directing his gaze toward the restored section of the monument.

As soon as he did so, he was rooted to the spot once again.

As it turned out, another passage of golden seal text had appeared above the second passage, and the two of them were separated by another blank area.

This third passage of text was none other than the third level of the Mantra Axis Scripture!

Han Li was both astonished and ecstatic upon seeing this, and he knew that this was an immensely fortunate opportunity.

Right at this moment, a rather mechanical voice rang out from beside him. "You still have two hours left."

The voice belonged to none other than that white finch. Even with the assistance of the Eye of Truth, Han Li was unable to identify exactly what this white finch was.

He hurriedly focused his attention on the third passage of text upon hearing this, memorizing the third level of the Mantra Axis Scripture as quickly as he could.

With all 24 Time Dao Runes and the Eye of Truth activated at once, Han Li was rapidly burning through his immortal spiritual power reserves. Even though he was using an Immortal Origin Stone to replenish his energy, it still only took a few minutes for all of his immortal spiritual power to be depleted, rendering him unable to use the Eye of Truth any longer.

As the Eye of Truth faded away, the restored section of the stone monument also disintegrated into specks of golden light, while the Mantra Treasured Axis behind Han Li was withdrawn into his body.

Han Li gently exhaled as he flipped both hands over to summon a pair of Immortal Origin Stones, holding one in each hand to replenish his immortal spiritual power

There was a faint smile on his face, and the excitement in his heart refused to die down. He had only come to this place to try his luck, and he certainly wasn't expecting to have reaped such significant rewards from this trip.

Not only had he secured the second level of the Mantra Axis Scripture, he had managed to acquire the third level of the cultivation art as well, so he was naturally ecstatic.

"Time's up," the white finch declared as it flew back onto the stone monument.

"Thank you... Er... Senior," Han Li replied, deciding to refer to the white finch as senior after a moment of deliberation.

"I'm no senior, I'm nothing more than a manifestation of the restrictions in this secret area," the white finch replied.

Han Li still wanted to ask more questions, but the white finch didn't give him a chance to do so, spreading its wings and flying directly toward him. It appeared to have been moving very slowly, but it reached him in the blink of an eye.

Han Li was still holding the Immortal Origin Stones in his hands when felt the entire space moving toward him along with the white finch, and he was swallowed up before he had a chance to do anything.

In the next instant, the surface of the lake in the Half Moon Valley began to churn violently as if the water had been brought to a boil, and Han Li slowly emerged from the water onto the surface.

He looked down to find that the surface of the lake was already gradually returning to a tranquil state, with only faint ripples spreading through the water, and he could see a reflection of himself looking back at him.

The light in the valley was rather dim, and the snow was reflecting the light of the setting sun. It was already close to night time.
