Chapter 133: The Three Supreme Laws

"Senior, rest assured. My Luo clan has achieved its current status entirely thanks to your guidance. From now on, the entire clan will continue to follow your lead without any second thoughts." Luo Feng said with a solemn expression.

Han Li smiled faintly and was about to say something more when his expression suddenly shifted.

"Clan Leader, you flatter me. Your advancement to the Great Vehicle stage today is a celebration for the entire island. Go and meet with your clansmen." He said indifferently, then flickered and vanished from the spot.

Luo Feng, long accustomed to this "Senior Liu's" mysterious comings and goings, bowed in the direction where Han Li had disappeared, straightened his robes, and walked outside.

A figure flickered in the small courtyard, and Han Li materialized. Without a word, he quickly entered the secret chamber.

As he walked, he casually took out a cyan mask and put it on; a faint white light flickered unceasingly on it.

Han Li pointed a finger, and a beam of white light flew from the mask, forming a white vortex before him that hummed and spun.

A phantom figure, also wearing a mask, emerged. Its form was indistinct, revealing only a pair of faint blue eyes.

"You accepted my task. Do you happen to know the origin of that one-eyed giant?" Han Li cut straight to the chase without any pleasantries.

"I happen to have some knowledge of various rare beasts. The one-eyed giant you asked about should be a rare earth-attribute spirit beast. However, the task description is not very detailed, so I cannot be entirely certain. If you could elaborate a bit more, I would be more confident." The figure's voice drifted.

"Your insight is indeed remarkable. The specific appearance of this beast is as follows..." Han Li's heart stirred, and he proceeded to describe the one-eyed giant in detail.

The other party had accurately deduced its earth-attribute abilities from his rather rough description of its appearance, showing considerable knowledge. Perhaps he truly could identify this beast.

"It seems my earlier guess was correct. The one-eyed giant you speak of is the rare beast Taifei." The phantom nodded slowly.

"Taifei... I hope you can elaborate." Han Li was slightly taken aback.

"This is a very rare celestial spirit beast. I have only heard of it, never seen one... It is born from chaos, inherently possessing the law of earth, able to control earth at will. Upon reaching adulthood, it can directly possess strength equivalent to the True Immortal stage..." The phantom spoke eloquently.

"I see. Besides this, does this beast have any other special features?" Han Li nodded thoughtfully and asked again.

"As for its special features... its single eye occasionally mutates, giving birth to a trace of the law of time, which drives all immortals mad with desire. However, such mutated Taifei are extremely rare, less than one in ten thousand. Whenever such a mutated Taifei appears, it causes great chaos in the region." The phantom paused briefly before continuing.

"The law of time..." Han Li murmured to himself, his face calm but his heart in turmoil.

He had previously suspected that the Taifei's abilities were related to the law of time. Now it seemed that the Taifei he encountered was very likely the mutated variant the other party mentioned.

"Indeed, it is the law of time, one of the three supreme laws. Otherwise, every appearance of a mutated Taifei would not cause such a stir." The phantom chuckled lightly.

"The three supreme laws?" Han Li asked, puzzled.

A hint of peculiarity flashed in the phantom's eyes as he looked Han Li up and down before speaking: "What, you don't even know the three supreme laws?"

"I am ignorant and have made a fool of myself. Please enlighten me." Han Li smiled faintly.

"Enlightenment is hardly necessary; this is common knowledge. The so-called three supreme laws refer to the law of time, the law of space, and the law of reincarnation. It is said that these three laws are the source of all laws, from which the other three thousand great paths are derived. The supreme laws are also the rarest and most mysterious laws in the immortal realm. Even the Saint Ancestors, few can master them. As for immortals below the Saint Ancestor level, even touching the three supreme laws is a pipe dream." The phantom shook his head, speaking with some longing.

"Three thousand great paths..." Han Li murmured to himself.

"Indeed, three thousand great paths... Legend has it that each law represents a great path, and each great path can ultimately reach the Dao Ancestor realm. The immortal realm knows of over three thousand types of law power, hence the saying of three thousand great paths." The phantom spoke with a tone of yearning and aspiration.

"I see." Han Li murmured, his mind racing.

"Materials containing the three laws are priceless treasures in the immortal realm, unobtainable through ordinary means. In recent years, even information on the whereabouts of the Taifei has been sought at great cost. If you have any clues, you might consider selling them within the alliance. I believe many would be willing to pay a high price." The phantom's eyes flickered as he spoke with profound meaning.

"Heh, how would I know the whereabouts of the Taifei? I merely came across some information about it recently and became curious to investigate." Han Li smiled lightly and brushed it off.

"Heh, I too was greatly intrigued when I first read about this beast." The phantom's eyes flickered, as if he chuckled.

"Thank you for clarifying my doubts. I have no further questions. The reward will be delivered shortly." Han Li nodded.

The phantom nodded, asked no further questions, and vanished with a flicker.

Han Li waved his hand, took out the promised reward, and placed it on the array plate's item transmission area. With a flash of light, it disappeared.

After doing all this, he removed and put away the cyan mask, a smile involuntarily appearing on his face.

This was not because of the Taifei's single eye, but because of the crystal grain that the Heavenvoid Bottle had condensed by madly devouring the immortal spiritual power within him.

Although he had not tried again, the ability displayed by the small bottle should not be a one-time thing, just like the condensation of green liquid.

If so, in theory, could he not infinitely obtain celestial materials containing law power, and the rarest law of time at that?

Upon careful thought, this bottle could promote the growth of spiritual herbs. The crystal grain refined from the spiritual liquid, whether it contained the law of wood or the law of time, seemed not too surprising.

However, his expression then turned serious.

Spiritual objects containing the power of the Time Law were so precious in the Immortal Realm that the matter of this crystal grain must be kept strictly secret.

Even if in the future, when absolutely necessary, he had to trade this object with someone else, he must first ensure that his identity would not be revealed.

After all, if this matter were ever known, with his meager cultivation, he would likely face the danger of falling at any moment in the Immortal Realm.

As Han Li thought this, his expression suddenly darkened as he recalled something.

Could his inexplicable loss of several hundred years of memory be related to this crystal grain?

At this thought, he abruptly stood up and paced back and forth in the secret chamber. The more he thought, the more likely it seemed. Involuntarily, he took out the crystal grain again, sat down cross-legged, and began to study it carefully, probing it with his divine sense.

After probing for a long time, he still found nothing.

Han Li pointed at his brow with one hand. With a flash of black light, a vertical eye appeared—the Destruction Law Eye—and shot out a beam of black light.

At the same time, a brilliant blue light blazed from both his eyes, emitting two beams of blue light.

The three beams of spiritual light merged together.

Han Li chanted an incantation, formed hand seals with both hands, and a flash of crystal light appeared at his brow. A surge of immense divine sense power also shot out, merging into the three beams of light.

The three beams of light slowly transformed into a large black-and-blue eye, which gazed at the crystal grain.

This was a secret technique combining the Destruction Law Eye and the Clear Spirit Eye.

A black-and-blue light radiated from the eye, enveloping the crystal grain.

“Eh!”

Han Li’s face showed joy.

At the center of the crystal grain, there was faintly visible a pale golden crystal thread, which he would never have detected without using the combined secret technique of his spiritual eyes.

Half a month later, near the island reefs of Wumeng Island.

On the surface of a certain sea area, waves surged as a gigantic whirlpool slowly rotated.

On the island reef, Han Li sat cross-legged, eyes closed, deep in thought. The crystal grain was pressed against his forehead.

According to the records in the texts he had consulted these days, it was almost impossible to comprehend a law by sensing materials containing its power. However, if one later cultivated a law-based technique of that type, such an experience would still be of some benefit.

Of course, this was merely the insight and experience of past cultivators. As for what specific benefits it might bring and how much it would aid in comprehension, one would have to explore slowly on one's own.

And since the Time Law was one of the three supreme laws, he naturally did not want to give up any chance to try to comprehend it.

After an unknown amount of time, Han Li opened his eyes, took the crystal grain from his forehead, and shook his head.

After days of contemplation and trying various methods to sense the trace of the Time Law within it, he had still found nothing, but this was not surprising.

He toyed with the crystal grain in his hand, while his gaze pierced through a thousand zhang of seawater, staring blankly at the Earthly Deity incarnation at the seabed, his brow slightly furrowed.

The crystal grain in his hand seemed unchanged, but in reality, the power of the Time Law within it was weakening day by day, and the golden crystal thread was also gradually shortening.

At this rate, in about half a month, the Time Law power in the crystal grain would completely disappear, and the crystal thread would dissipate entirely.

This situation inevitably disappointed him.

Thus, the idea of selling this crystal grain to others in exchange for resources became almost unfeasible.

He withdrew his gaze and looked again at the crystal grain in his hand, his eyes flickering slightly.

“Forget it, I have to actually try it now. After all, I can now control a trace of the Water Law,” Han Li muttered to himself, then raised his hand and beckoned.

The huge whirlpool in the sea ahead, after a violent churning, gradually subsided. Then, with a roll of the waves, a blue shadow flashed out and landed beside him. The light on its surface faded, revealing the figure of the Earthly Deity incarnation.

Han Li waved his hand and tossed the crystal grain over.

His incarnation caught the crystal grain with one hand. Black light flashed on its body, and the thread of law above its head slowly flew over, probing into the crystal grain.

To investigate the law power within the crystal grain, one naturally had to use law power as well. However, since the Time Law within the grain was a supreme law, this action actually carried considerable risk.

But if he didn't try, Han Li would naturally not be reconciled. He could only hope that this action would not have too great an impact on the Earthly Deity incarnation.

As he thought this, that wisp of Water Law thread flashed and vanished into the crystal grain.

Hum!

The crystal grain suddenly burst into brilliant, dazzling golden light.

Seeing this, Han Li felt a surge of joy, but before he could sense it carefully, a sudden change occurred!
