Chapter 1158: The Resurrection Divine Lamp

Han Li, filled with anticipation, pulled the golden thread and unrolled the scroll.

On the cover of the scroll were four ancient characters, "Sui Yue Zhen Jing" (True Scripture of Time), the strokes faintly mottled, exuding a sense of vicissitude.

Seeing the title, Han Li guessed most of its content, and upon opening the scroll, his brows soon lifted.

As he had guessed, this golden scroll was a cultivation technique of time law, and it appeared extremely exquisite, embodying the conception that time is like fire, and all things in time decay and perish in this fire of time.

Han Li carefully flipped through the golden scroll page by page, spending nearly half a day to finish reading it. A look of joy soon appeared on his face, and he waved his hand to take the Time Lamp beside him, gently caressing it.

This "True Scripture of Time" technique was very exquisite; although it could not compare to the "Great Five Elements Illusory World Art," it was still among the top time techniques in the True Word Sect.

However, Han Li's joy was not due to obtaining this exquisite time technique, but because the latter part of the "True Scripture of Time" recorded the method for refining the Time Lamp.

When the Time Lamp's flame had been extinguished due to the collapse of the Time Tower, a precious treasure had become useless. Though he appeared calm on the surface, deep down he was filled with anger and regret.

Now that he had found the method to refine this divine lamp, he finally saw hope.

Han Li then put away the "True Scripture of Five Thunder Righteous Method" and the diagram of the Tongtian Sword Formation.

He had originally planned to carefully study these two treasures as well, but now that he had found the method to refine the Time Lamp, it would be better to study the Tongtian Sword Diagram and the "True Scripture of Five Thunder Righteous Method" later.

Han Li unrolled the "True Scripture of Time" again, turning to the part recording the refining method, and fell into contemplation.

Although the refining method for the Time Lamp was recorded here, it was not easy to accomplish, especially for someone like him who had just obtained the "True Scripture of Time."

The refining method for the Time Lamp was actually not complicated. For a cultivator practicing the "True Scripture of Time," it would be very simple—just slowly nurture it with the time law power cultivated from the "True Scripture of Time."

But Han Li cultivated the "Great Five Elements Illusory World Art," which, though far more exquisite than the "True Scripture of Time," could not be used to refine the Time Lamp unless he began to cultivate the "True Scripture of Time."

However, after being taught by Patriarch Mi Luo, Han Li had gained a deep understanding of time law cultivation and was well aware of its pros and cons.

Time law is the supreme law, extremely difficult to cultivate, and one must avoid distraction at all costs.

He had not yet achieved great success in cultivating the "Great Five Elements Illusory World Art," so he must not cultivate another time technique, lest it disturb his Dao heart, cause great harm, and even ruin his cultivation prospects.

Patriarch Mi Luo had only guided Han Li in the cultivation of time law; among the many time divine abilities of the True Word Sect, aside from those he had already learned, he had not taught any others, precisely to avoid disturbing his Dao heart with too many time techniques.

Han Li naturally would not sacrifice his own prospects just to refine an immortal artifact.

However, just because he would not cultivate the "True Scripture of Time" did not mean he truly could not refine the Time Lamp.

After calming himself, Han Li waved both hands, and a ball of golden flame appeared before him—it was the Flame of Time he had obtained from the altar in the Time Tower.

Then, Han Li made hand seals and summoned the Time-Stopping Torch before him.

His hands swiftly formed seals, and crystal light flickered at his brow as strands of crystal threads formed from divine sense shot out.

The Time-Stopping Torch also spun rapidly, emitting streams of its unique law power.

Han Li pointed, and the Time-Stopping law and divine sense crystal threads simultaneously flew into the Flame of Time.

The Flame of Time, as if stimulated, suddenly expanded by half and churned violently.

Within the flame, the Time-Stopping law, divine sense crystal threads, and the Flame of Time's own law power either formed whirlpools, darted rapidly, or collided fiercely, chaotic as a pot of boiling water.

Han Li's expression was solemn; his hands swiftly formed seals, controlling the Time-Stopping law and divine sense crystal threads to operate in a mysterious manner, continuously contacting the law power of the Flame of Time.

At the same time, he constantly varied the Time-Stopping law, simulating the law power of the Flame of Time.

This was a technique called the True Word Spirit Transformation Method, taught to him by Patriarch Mi Luo—a secret art that uses soul power as a medium to simulate one law power with another.

When Patriarch Mi Luo had guided Han Li in cultivation, Han Li, because most of the immortal artifacts on him were seized and many could not be activated, had asked Patriarch Mi Luo about the problem of activating immortal artifacts.

In fact, Han Li's situation was common. In the True Immortal Realm, aside from life-bound immortal artifacts forged specifically for oneself, it was normal for the law power contained in purchased or seized immortal artifacts to differ from the cultivator's own law power.

This discrepancy often prevented cultivators from unleashing the full power of their immortal artifacts.

A senior of the True Word Sect had a sudden inspiration and created this "True Word Spirit Transformation Method" to simulate other law powers, in order to maximize the power of immortal artifacts.

Of course, the two simulated laws could not differ too greatly; they had to be of the same attribute, and preferably similar in nature.

This senior of the True Word Sect was truly a remarkable genius. Although the "True Word Spirit Transformation Method" he created could not make the two laws completely identical, it could simulate them to about sixty or seventy percent.

The Law of Time Severance and the Law of Ages shared considerable common ground to some extent, making the 'True Word Spirit Transformation Method' quite promising for success.

Back then, Qimozi must have also used this True Word Spirit Transformation Method to manipulate the Lamp of Ages, with a probability of nine out of ten.

Han Li activated the 'True Word Spirit Transformation Method,' continuously simulating the Law of Ages with the Law of Time Severance. At first, he was somewhat flustered, as the two laws clashed violently.

But as the secret art became more adept, the conflict between the two laws gradually eased, and the True Word Spirit Transformation Method operated more smoothly.

A glimmer of joy flashed in Han Li's eyes, and he then focused more intently on operating the secret art.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, five or six years went by.

The caravan advanced quite smoothly, encountering only a few ordinary beast attacks along the way, all dealt with by Sangtu and the Cloud Leopard, without any major danger.

However, Sangtu and the Cloud Leopard dared not be careless, taking turns patrolling the surroundings to prevent danger.

At this moment, Sangtu and a Silver Horn Giant from the Silver Horn Rhinoceros tribe were inspecting around the caravan.

"Chieftain, do you think this Senior Shi is genuinely helping us? I always feel that handing over that Pixiu cub to him is not appropriate," the Silver Horn Giant glanced at Han Li's room and transmitted his voice in a low tone.

"Nonsense! Senior Shi's strength far surpasses ours; your voice transmission might be heard by him!" Sangtu's expression changed, and he scolded via voice transmission.

The Silver Horn Giant was startled and immediately became docile.

The two glanced sidelong at Han Li's room. After a long while, still nothing unusual occurred, and they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Do you think I don't know this? But this Senior Shi is too powerful; we have no room for bargaining. Moreover, this Pixiu cub is too precious. Relying solely on us and the Cloud Pattern Tiger tribe, even if we deliver the Pixiu cub to the Eight Desolate Mountains, it would not be a blessing but a great disaster. So no matter what Senior Shi's intentions are, we can only rely on him now. Don't speak such disparaging words again, and also tell the other tribesmen to refrain from private discussions!" Sangtu transmitted his voice in an even fainter tone, commanding.

"The chieftain has far-sighted vision; I understand," the Silver Horn Giant suddenly realized, showing admiration.

Sangtu nodded, about to say something more, when at that moment, a muffled sound came from Han Li's room.

Sangtu and the Silver Horn Giant were startled, thinking Han Li had heard their conversation. Their expressions changed, and Sangtu quickly thought of an explanation.

But after a while, there was still no movement from Han Li's room, and the two looked at each other in confusion.

At that moment, within the Flower Branch Space, Han Li was covered in dust, his hair and clothes nearly half burned, and his body scorched in many places, looking utterly disheveled. The Flame of Ages had disappeared.

But he paid no attention to his injuries; his eyes were full of joy.

After six years of effort, he had finally succeeded in simulating the Law of Ages using the 'True Word Spirit Transformation Method.'

At the moment of completion, he was momentarily carried away and failed to control the law force in his hand, causing the Flame of Ages to burst, nearly severely injuring himself.

Han Li flipped his hand and took out a healing pill, swallowing it. His injuries quickly recovered.

He sat cross-legged again, picked up the Lamp of Ages, waved his hand to summon the Torch of Time Severance, and then made a hand seal, pointing.

Streams of the Law of Time Severance shot out from the torch, quickly merging together, soon forming a ball of golden flame that emitted waves of time law fluctuations, six or seven parts similar to the Flame of Ages.

Han Li pushed with his palm in the air, and the imitation Flame of Ages flew forward, enveloping the Lamp of Ages.

The golden flame flickered and slowly merged into the Lamp of Ages.

Seeing this, he curled his lips and quickly activated the golden flame within the lamp according to the refining method of the Lamp of Ages.

The surface of the Lamp of Ages immediately glowed with a faint golden light, flickering gently.

Seeing this, Han Li let out a long breath of relief; the efforts of these past few years had not been in vain.

He then held the Lamp of Ages in his arms, condensed three or four more imitation Flames of Ages, merged them in, and continued to activate the refining technique.

With the problem of the Flame of Ages resolved, the subsequent matters became simple.

As Han Li continued to refine, the golden light on the surface of the Lamp of Ages grew brighter, and the time law fluctuations it emitted became increasingly intense.

Finally, after three consecutive months of refining, a golden light flashed on the lamp wick, and a ball of golden flame emerged.

The moment the lamp flame appeared, a powerful wave of time law erupted from the Lamp of Ages, spreading outward like a raging tide, causing the spiritual energy within the Flower Branch Space to surge violently.

The mighty immortal artifact that had once dominated the Tai Sui Immortal Mansion had reappeared!

Han Li looked at the fully revived Lamp of Ages in his hand, a joyful expression on his face. He then made a hand seal and beckoned.

With a 'whoosh' sound,

the lamp flame of the Lamp of Ages immediately blazed up, and a narrow beam of golden light shot out from the flame, forming a fire dragon made of golden lamp flame.
