Chapter 1209: The Time-Difference Space

After half a day of busy work, the Glazed Time Astrolabe Grand Formation was repaired, once again radiating spiritual light.

Han Li then took out all the immortal jade stones he had and placed them beside the Glazed Time Astrolabe Grand Formation to supply its operation.

After doing this, he sat down cross-legged beside the formation. After a moment of hesitation, he still unfolded his domain, covering the Glazed Time Astrolabe Grand Formation.

He did not expand his domain too much, only covering an area of about twenty or thirty zhang, after all, the larger the domain, the greater the consumption.

Ti Hun, standing not far away, was also covered by the domain.

Seeing Han Li unfold his domain, Ti Hun showed a slightly surprised expression, clearly not understanding Han Li's intention, but she did not disturb him.

Han Li glanced at Ti Hun out of the corner of his eye, but did not ask her to leave. He muttered incantations, and within the domain, golden light flashed repeatedly, and the five objects—the True Word Wheel, the Time-Breaking Torch, and others—appeared out of thin air.

The True Word Wheel and the Time-Breaking Torch shot up into the sky, transforming into a golden moon and a golden sun. The Illusory Time Hourglass sank into the ground, turning into a golden sea of sand. The East Yi Divine Tree plunged into the sea of sand, causing the sand to split open, and a lush forest emerged. The Time Vase shimmered with spiritual light, turning into a golden river that flowed with a rumbling sound.

In an instant, the domain released by Han Li almost became a real world, only the sea of sand on the ground and the golden river still seemed somewhat illusory.

At that moment, the golden moon transformed from the True Word Wheel suddenly descended, hovering above the Glazed Time Astrolabe Grand Formation.

The Glazed Time Astrolabe Grand Formation's spiritual light blazed, operating at high speed. The True Word Wheel also radiated several times its brilliance, spinning rapidly, but in the reverse direction, the two resonating with each other.

At this time, within the domain space, wind howled, golden sand flew up, the golden river churned with turbid waves, the golden sun blazed with flames, and the lush forest on the ground swayed wildly. The five streams of time law force clashed violently.

Han Li frowned. The domain had once again slipped out of his control, operating on its own.

But with the experience from last time, he did not panic and allowed the domain to resonate with the Glazed Time Astrolabe Grand Formation.

"Rumble..."

A sudden explosion sounded, and a blinding golden light burst from within the True Word Wheel, turning into a golden shockwave that swept across the entire domain space.

Where the golden light spread, the Glazed Time Astrolabe Grand Formation also erupted with a time fluctuation, and the two merged together.

Within the entire domain space, the five violently conflicting time law forces quickly calmed down, and everything returned to normal, except that the time flow within the domain space accelerated rapidly, instantly reaching ten thousand times.

"This is..." Ti Hun showed a stunned expression.

She was also a well-experienced person and quickly keenly perceived the change in time flow within the domain, then looked at Han Li with great admiration.

The hundred-fold time-difference space Han Li had set up last time had already shocked Ti Hun, and this ten-thousand-fold time-difference space made her even more deeply impressed.

"Master is a man of destiny; his future achievements are immeasurable..." Ti Hun thought to herself, then immediately sat down to practice and refine the two immortal artifacts, the Netherclaw and the Soul-Scattering Ghost Flute.

These two immortal artifacts were immensely powerful, especially the Soul-Scattering Ghost Flute; once fully refined, scattering a cultivator's soul would be effortless.

Unfortunately, both Ti Hun and Elder Xitang had just obtained the immortal artifacts and had not had time to refine them, so they could not bring out much of their power. Otherwise, Elder Xitang would not have been defeated so easily.

Naturally, Han Li did not know that his actions had made Ti Hun more loyal. Seeing that the time-difference space had formed again, he breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as this ten-thousand-fold time-difference space was not formed by chance, as long as he could master it, his cultivation speed could increase a hundredfold again.

But now that his connection with the domain was severed, he had to find a reliable way to dispel this time-difference space; otherwise, he would have to destroy the Glazed Time Astrolabe Grand Formation every time to leave.

Han Li closed his eyes and operated the "Great Five Elements Illusory World Art," sensing the flow of time force within the surrounding domain.

This time-difference space was a product of the fusion of his domain and the Glazed Time Astrolabe Grand Formation. To dispel it, he could only start from these two aspects.

However, Han Li did not know much about the Glazed Time Astrolabe Grand Formation, so he could only think of ways from the domain side, to see if he could regain control of the domain.

In fact, when he was trapped in this space last time, he had tried this method, but at that time he was anxious and gave up quickly after some attempts, resorting to brute force to break the time-difference space.

Now, entering the time-difference space for the second time, Han Li's mind was much calmer. He operated the time law and carefully sensed the surrounding domain space.

In the blink of an eye, five or six hundred years passed.

Han Li slowly opened his eyes, a hint of joy in his gaze.

After these years of cultivation and insight, he discovered some situations he had not noticed before.

First, he had basically understood the formation principle of this time-difference space.

The formation of this time-difference space still relied on the power of the Juncture Sun Dial. Although the Juncture Sun Dial had disappeared, its contained time law force and divine abilities were not lost; they had merely merged with the True Word Wheel. Now, the True Word Wheel was equivalent to the Juncture Sun Dial.

Therefore, the True Word Wheel resonated with the Glazed Time Astrolabe Grand Formation to create the time-difference space.

However, a奇妙 interaction occurred between his "Great Five Elements Illusory World Art" and the Glazed Time Astrolabe Grand Formation, increasing the time acceleration effect to ten thousand times.

Second was the issue of consumption of this time-difference space. The original Glazed Time Astrolabe Grand Formation required immortal jade stones and time law force to operate.

After the Juncture Sun Dial merged with the True Word Wheel, the new time-difference space was the same, except that the time law force was no longer provided by the Time Lamp, as the Time Lamp had already merged into the Time-Breaking Torch.

The law force of the time-difference space was now supplied by his domain.

Having successively merged the Time Lamp, the Juncture Sun Dial, and the Twin-Life Divine Tree, Han Li's domain now contained an immensely abundant time law force, more than enough to support the operation of the Glazed Time Astrolabe Grand Formation.

Moreover, even if the time law force within the domain was used up, as long as Han Li had some time, he could recover it.

Han Li had been worried before that the time law force in the Time Lamp would run out, and he would have to find new time law objects to supply the Glazed Time Astrolabe Grand Formation.

Now, this problem was solved, and he no longer had to worry.

However, precisely because the Juncture Sun Dial, the Time Lamp, and other objects had merged into Han Li's domain, the current time-difference space also had certain limitations.

Han Li raised his hand and waved, and the golden sun transformed from the Time-Breaking Torch in midair flew down, stopping not far in front of him.

Within the golden sun, golden flames rolled, but through the golden flames, one could see clusters of time dao patterns inside, a total of over one hundred and eighty clusters, though five or six had already dimmed.

The existence time of a domain inherently had its limits. Once all the time dao patterns dimmed, the domain would automatically dissolve. Now that the domain and the Glazed Time Astrolabe Grand Formation had formed the time-difference space, the situation should still be the same.

In this way, Han Li had also found a method to dispel the time-difference space.

But this method was too rigid and not flexible enough. In case of an emergency, it could not be dealt with immediately, so it was still not advisable.

He waved his hand, and the golden sun shot out, flying back into the sky.

Han Li raised his five fingers, and five beams of golden light shot out from his fingertips.

The golden light contained countless golden runes, emitting five extremely powerful law forces.

He muttered incantations, his hands quickly forming hand seals. The five beams of golden light spun around and transformed into five golden rings, their released time law force surging several times, then they plunged into the golden moon, the golden sun, the lush forest, the surging river, and the golden sand field respectively.

The golden moon, golden sun, lush forest, surging river, and golden sand field all lit up at once. The entire domain rumbled and operated, impacting the binding force outside the domain.

The domain space immediately trembled, but that was all. No matter how it impacted, the surrounding binding force remained unbreakable.

Not far away, Ti Hun, who had been cultivating with closed eyes, was also startled awake, but seeing Han Li's solemn expression, she did not disturb him and obediently stood aside.

The entire domain churned like a raging sea, but the binding force outside remained firmly in place, unmoving. On the contrary, the spiritual light around the Glazed Time Astrolabe Grand Formation flickered violently, as if it were about to collapse.

"It seems brute force alone really won't work." Han Li quickly stopped the impact.

If this continued, the binding force outside the domain would not break, but the Glazed Time Astrolabe Grand Formation would be destroyed first.

Although that would also dispel this time-difference space, he was looking for another method.

Han Li looked at the surrounding domain, frowning, but he was not discouraged.

After these five or six hundred years of observation, although he still had not discovered the reason why the domain was bound, he had some ideas on how to dispel this binding.

Han Li waved his hand, and a beam of golden light shot out, enveloping the immortal jade stones near the Glazed Time Astrolabe Grand Formation, then rolled back.

All the immortal jade stones instantly disappeared, collected by him.

Han Li then formed hand seals with both hands. The golden light on his body quickly dimmed, and the immortal spiritual power and time law within his body also completely retracted, as he tried his best to sever his connection with the domain.

The domain was formed using his immortal spiritual power. As long as the source was cut off, presumably the domain would automatically close.

As soon as Han Li did this, the nearby domain immediately flickered, as if it were about to close.

Seeing this, Han Li was delighted.

But at that moment, a vast devouring force emerged from the surrounding domain, and the immortal spiritual power hidden within Han Li's body was forcibly pulled out without any resistance, once again merging into the surrounding domain.

The flickering domain immediately stabilized.

Moreover, since the Glazed Time Astrolabe Grand Formation no longer had immortal jade stones to supply it, it also began to frantically absorb the immortal spiritual power within the domain.

Under the dual absorption, Han Li's immortal spiritual power rapidly decreased.

He squinted his eyes, allowing the immortal spiritual power to surge out.

Han Li concentrated and held his breath, intending to see if the domain would continue to operate once his immortal spiritual power was completely depleted.

Having now advanced to the Da Luo stage, his immortal spiritual power was extremely profound. Even under the dual absorption of the domain and the Glazed Time Astrolabe Grand Formation, it took a full half day before it finally bottomed out.

But the absorption by the surrounding domain and the Glazed Time Astrolabe Grand Formation did not stop; they still frantically extracted the immortal spiritual power from his body.
