Chapter 461: The Mystique of Laws

With his nascent soul trapped within the lightning pool, every single passing second was an extremely grueling one for Han Li, and seven days felt like seven years.

On this day, a resounding boom rang out in the night sky, and a vast expanse of golden lightning surged through the heavens.

It was only for an instant, but it illuminated the entire night sky to be as bright as day.

Following this flash of golden lightning, the golden lightning pool also faded away, completely vanishing into nothingness.

Han Li's nascent soul slowly descended out of the heavens with a smile on its face, and its entire body was radiating dazzling golden light, giving it the appearance of a miniature golden sun from afar.

It slowly landed on the top of Han Li's head, then looked around for a moment before vanishing into Han Li's head.

Han Li's eyes instantly sprang open, and two radiant beams of golden light erupted out of his eyes, extending for around three feet in front of him, presenting a rather peculiar sight to behold.

After just a few blinks, the beams of golden light gradually began to recede until they vanished altogether, but there was still a very bright gleam in his eyes. Embark on an odyssey to the core at Nøv€lß¡n#★

All of a sudden, he summoned his Mantra Treasured Axis, and it flew around him until it was situated in front of him, hovering in mid-air while revolving incessantly.

The axis was shimmering brightly, while the Time Dao Runes on its surface were flashing incessantly. All 360 of the Time Dao Runes on its surface had already recovered, and at this moment, there were as many as three time law threads wrapped around the axis.

A hint of elation emerged in Han Li's eyes upon seeing this.

During that brief moment of heightened sensitivity immediately after consuming the Golden Soul Pill, he had been struck by an indescribable feeling, one that granted him a hint of enlightenment when it came to the power of time laws.

At the time, he had already felt the time law thread in his body beginning to undergo a transformation, but a Golden Immortal Stage breakthrough was imminent, so he didn't have time to dwell on the feeling.

During the few days that his nascent soul had been baptized within the lightning pool, he had constantly been in a state of excruciating torment, but at the same time, that same indescribable feeling emerged once again, triggering some minute changes in the power of time within his body. Before he knew it, he had already manifested two more time law threads.

In order to manifest his first time law thread, he had gone to extreme lengths, leaving no stone unturned and even going as far as to directly swallow the spirit liquid produced by the Heaven Controlling Vial, but still to no avail. In the end, it was only by refining a Time Dao Pill that he was able to attain the time law thread, so he was naturally ecstatic to have manifested two more so easily.

However, now that the nascent soul refinement process had concluded, he was unable to return to that mystical state of enlightenment again.

Han Li heaved a faint sigh as he made a beckoning motion, and the three time law threads instantly flew toward him from the Mantra Treasured Axis before wrapping themselves around his finger.

By injecting his spiritual sense into them, he could immediately feel bursts of formidable time law fluctuations.

Right at this moment, a burst of blinding light suddenly emerged over the Mantra Treasured Axis, and the Heaven Controlling Vial abruptly flew out of Han Li's robes on its own, hovering in mid-air as it also began to glow as radiantly as a green sun.

At this point, Han Li had already figured out the identity of the nascent soul that he had possessed. It belonged to a man by the name of Jin Hai, and he had once been a Golden Immortal Stage disciple of the Boundless Sword Sect.

The nascent soul had just fled from the sect, and the memories that Han Li had recalled were quite chaotic and jumbled, with most of them containing images of horrific battles that seemed to have taken place quite recently.

Only after some extensive contemplation was Han Li able to extrapolate some things from these fragmented memories.

It seemed that for some reason, the Reincarnation Palace's forces had suddenly stormed into the Infernal Frost Immortal Palace two days ago, and even though the Immortal Palace was prepared for the invasion, they were still unable to keep the enemy at bay.

As a subsidiary power of the Immortal Palace, the Boundless Sword Sect naturally had to make a final stand alongside the Immortal Palace's forces. They were planning to unleash the sea of swords on the enemy, even though doing so would completely ruin the foundation of the sect, but right as they resorted to this plan, an enemy High Zenith Stage Jade Immortal unleashed their spirit domain to trap the entire sect.

The spirit domain was filled with a type of unidentifiable law power that was able to suppress the vast sword qi within the sea of swords, thereby preventing the Boundless Sword Sect from using it in the battle.

The disciples of the Boundless Sword Sect had no choice but to form an array to force their way out of the Jade Immortal's spirit domain, but after that, they found themselves right in the midst of the battle between the cultivators of the Immortal Palace and the Reincarnation Palace. Jin Hai's martial brothers perished one after another, with some managing to flee in the form of their nascent souls, while others perished altogether.

After inadvertently stumbling into the spirit domain of a cultivator at the pinnacle of the Golden Immortal Stage, Jin Hai's luck finally ran out, and he also met his demise. In the instant before he perished, he detonated his own bonded flying sword using a secret technique, and only then was his nascent soul able to escape.

Even so, his nascent soul was already severely wounded and on the brink of disintegrating. If it weren't for the influx of Han Li's spiritual sense, it would've most likely already completely disintegrated into nothingness.

Why did the Reincarnation Palace attack the Infernal Frost Immortal Palace? Does this have something to do with the fall of the Infernal Frost Immortal Palace?

With all these questions in his mind, Han Li turned his gaze to his left, and sure enough, the faint projection of his Mantra Treasured Axis was hovering there.

The Time Dao Runes on its surface were flashing with semi-transparent light, and around a dozen of them had already faded.

Han Li was rather perplexed to see this.

At this point, he had definitely already been in the wall of light for at least 30 seconds, so 30 Time Dao Runes should've been snuffed out at a minimum, so why was that not the case?

Could it be...

A thought occurred to Han Li, and he began to scrutinize the Mantra Treasured Axis intently with an unblinking gaze.

Moments later, his brows unfurrowed, and a hint of elation appeared on his face.

He discovered that each Time Dao Rune was now able to last three seconds before fading away instead of one.

Perhaps this was because he now possessed three time law threads.

If the accumulation of each additional time law thread really could extend the duration of time that each Time Dao Rune could last, then as he continued to manifest more time law threads in the future, this duration would most likely only continue to extend!

With that in mind, Han Li couldn't help but wonder if some other changes would take place once the number of time law threads in his possession passed certain thresholds, if such thresholds truly did exist.
