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

Chapter 368: You're Awake

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the Immortal Realm.

This was a space that was filled with countless golden clouds of different sizes, filling the entire area with radiant golden light.

These golden clouds were drifting up and down incessantly while also constantly taking on all types of unidentifiable forms, presenting a mesmerizing sight to behold.`

On top of one of the golden clouds was an enormous golden stone plaque that was over 100,000 feet tall, and it was radiating bursts of golden light that were swirling incessantly.

A series of golden designs were inscribed upon the stone plaque, and they appeared to have been some type of runes, filling virtually the entirety of the plaque.

These golden runes varied in size and brightness, but generally speaking, the larger tended to be brighter as well.

The largest of the runes were the size of houses, giving off resplendent golden light, while the smallest ones were only fist-sized and were also quite dim.

Some of the golden runes were completely still, while others were flashing incessantly while giving off formidable time law power fluctuations.

Right at this moment, the stone plaque suddenly began to glow with dazzling golden radiance while also emitting a sharp screeching sound.

A new line of golden text then appeared on a blank spot near the bottom of the stone plaque, and the line of text was also gently flashing with golden light.

It didn't take long before the golden radiance emanating from the stone plaque subsided, and everything returned to its original state.

All of a sudden, countless specks of golden light appeared out of thin air in front of the giant plaque, and it formed a huge golden eye, following which an indistinct and emotionless voice rang out, one that didn't sound male or female.

"It looks like one more person had mastered the laws of time..."

The voice echoed in the space for a while before fading away, and in the next instant, the giant golden eye also disintegrated into specks of golden light again.

……

Inside the secret chamber of his cave abode, Han Li's entire body was basked in radiant golden light, while his Mantra Treasured Axis was slowly revolving behind him.

Hovering above his head was a translucent golden thread that was around a foot in length, and it was slowly swaying from side to side like a spirit snake.

Even though it had been shrunk down by countless orders of magnitude, the time law power fluctuations that it was giving off hadn't abated in the slightest, and it was filling the entire secret chamber, influencing everything around it.

Aside from Han Li and the golden light that was radiating from his body, everything else in the secret chamber appeared to have been completely still.

Han Li opened his eyes, and a hint of excitement appeared on his face as he looked at the translucent thread above his head.

The process of mastering the laws of time had been quite an arduous one, and it had taken him several years just to digest the dao pill.

After that, it had taken him several more years to master the laws of time thanks to the power of the dao pill.

During this period, several mishaps had occurred, but thankfully, he was quite well prepared and had a large supply of precious pills that allowed him to weather the storm.

Furthermore, even though his past attempts to master the laws of time had ended in failure, he had gotten a little closer every single time, and that had assisted him in this process. It was only thanks to a combination of all of these factors that he had managed to succeed in this endeavor.

After mastering the laws of time, everything had become different. He could sense that he had attained a special understanding of this mysterious power, and his interpretation of the Mantra Axis Scripture had also changed.

The clearest sign of this was that he felt a greater sense of control over his Mantra Treasured Axis.

In the instant that he attained this time law thread, he had even gleaned a trace of the passage of time in the entire world around him.

Only after a long while did the excitement in his heart slowly subside, and he made a hand seal, upon which the golden light radiating from the translucent golden thread vanished.

Everything in the secret chamber instantly returned to normal, and as he continued to make more hand seals, the golden thread began to transform according to his will, elongating, shrinking, and even tying itself into knots at Han Li's behest.

The different forms that it took on also had an impact on the time law powers that it was giving off, and an intrigued look appeared on Han Li's face upon seeing this.

It seemed that this time law thread was far more profound than he anticipated, but he would have plenty of time to examine it in the future.

Maintaining the time law thread was very taxing on his immortal spiritual power, so he was just about to stow it away when a thought suddenly occurred to him, and he flipped a hand over to summon his Heaven Controlling Vial instead.

He had examined the vial countless times in the past without any notable outcomes, but now that he had mastered the laws of time, perhaps he would be able to glean some more of the Heaven Controlling Vial's secrets.

With that in mind, Han Li took a deep breath, yet before he had a chance to do anything, the Heaven Controlling Vial suddenly began to glow as radiantly as a green sun, then flew out of his grasp before hovering in mid-air.

At the same time, the Mantra Treasured Axis behind Han Li also brightened considerably while revolving rapidly, and the golden time law thread shot forth into the axis in a flash.

The light radiating from the Mantra Treasured Axis had become 10 times brighter than normal, and all of its Time Dao Runes had lit up in unison.

The Eye of Truth quickly took shape at the center of the axis, and even though the eye was still closed, it was also radiating dazzling golden light with countless golden runes flashing around it.

Han Li's expression changed slightly upon seeing this, but he remained still on the spot, refraining from doing anything.

Just like last time, he could sense that the Heaven Controlling Vial, the Mantra Treasured Axis, and even the time law thread were no longer under his control.

A hint of anticipation welled up in his heart.

Whenever something like this happened, he almost always stood to benefit, so he was eager to see what was going to unfold this time.

All of a sudden, the Heaven Controlling Vial and the Mantra Treasured Axis began to resonate with one another, and the light that they were giving off became brighter and brighter, while bursts of formidable energy fluctuations began proliferating outward in all directions.

Right at this moment, the Eye of Truth sprang open, and the time law thread shot out from within before vanishing into the Heaven Controlling Vial.

The surface of the Heaven Controlling Vial instantly began to glow a radiant green color, and it rapidly swelled to the size of a millstone.

Countless green runes appeared on its surface, surging up and down while flashing incessantly like stars in the night sky.

All of a sudden, the green runes rose up from the surface of the vial before converging inside it to form a green cloud that was churning incessantly, with a vortex slowly taking shape within it.

A burst of special energy fluctuations were emanating out of the green cloud, and they weren't particularly formidable, but the space around the Heaven Controlling Vial was rippling violently.

Han Li raised an eyebrow upon seeing this, and right at this moment, the green cloud within the Heaven Controlling Vial transformed into a thick pillar of green light that erupted outward.

Countless bursts of translucent light emerged, forming the same translucent wall of light from before.

A hint of disappointment flashed through Han Li's eyes upon seeing this.

While it was true that the wall of light was clearly something quite profound, he was hoping that the Heaven Controlling Vial would be able to display something different this time, but that didn't seem to have been the case.

However, he then noticed that a green vortex design had appeared on the wall of light, and it was the same green vortex that had previously appeared inside the vial.

The wall of light shuddered as countless streaks of light flashed over its surface, and the green vortex suddenly began to flash, devouring all of the streaks of light as it began to rapidly expand.

Initially, it was only around the size of a washbasin, but in just a few seconds, it had swelled to the size of a house.

A burst of tremendous suction force erupted out of the vortex to envelop Han Li's entire body, and he could sense that his body wasn't being affected by this burst of suction force at all, but in the next instant, his spiritual sense was pulled involuntarily out of his mind and into the vortex.

Before he had a chance to do anything, he felt a burst of sharp pain in his head, immediately following which he fell unconscious.

An indeterminate amount of time passed by before Han Li slowly regained consciousness and opened his eyes.

He was greeted by the sight of a dilapidated ceiling that was riddled with cobwebs and holes, through which he could see the sky overhead.

He could also hear something indistinct, but it was also very loud.

At this moment, his entire body was racked with agony, and even lifting a finger felt like a herculean task.

He turned his head to the side with great difficulty, and in doing so, he discovered that he was laying on a bed in what appeared to have been a dilapidated temple.

As for the sound that he was hearing, it was coming from a yellow-robed young boy with light golden skin, and he was knelt down by his bedside, sobbing in grief.

Han Li was completely dumbstruck upon seeing this.

Where is this place? Wasn't I in my cave abode examining the Heaven Controlling Vial? How did I end up here?

Han Li tried to recall what had happened, but all of a sudden, he was struck by a splitting headache, causing him to reflexively throw his hands onto his own head as he gave a muffled groan.

Thankfully, the pain subsided in an instant, and he had only just heaved a sigh of relief when his expression abruptly stiffened.

Just now, a stream of chaotic and alien memories had flooded into his mind.

These memories were fragmented and incomplete, yet before he had a chance to examine them, the young boy beside his bed had heard his muffled groan, and he immediately raised his head with an ecstatic expression despite the tears that were still swimming in his eyes.

"Master, you're awake!"
