Han Li's eyes immediately lit up at the sight of all of the time-attribute secret techniques laid out around the hall.
"This True Mantra Palm Seal allows one to cultivate time law powers into a palm projection that contains nine circles, which are capable of storing different types of time law powers. The more you store, the more powerful the palm projection will be. If you can gather nine types of time law powers, the palm projection will reach the peak of its powers and be capable of destroying virtually anything."
This Time Destruction Divine Light is also an offensive ability that uses time law powers to manifest a ray of light capable of piercing through even space itself.
The plaques next to the grids only displayed the names of the scriptures inside, so Patriarch Miro began describing all of the secret techniques to Han Li one by one.
The more Han Li heard, the more stunned he became.
All of the secret techniques here were profound beyond his imaginations, and there were hundreds of them in this hall.
Han Li had even spotted the Reversal True Axis, the Eye of Truth, and the Mantra Domain, which he had already cultivated himself.
"I can see that you've already learned some of the abilities here, but you haven't made much progress in them at all, and that's a real pity. In particular, the Reversal True Axis and the Mantra Domain are abilities with immense potential that you haven't been able to tap into," Patriarch Miro suddenly remarked.
"Please enlighten men, Senior Miro," Han Li hurriedly implored.
"The Reversal True Axis is a very one-dimensional ability in that it only does one thing. I'm assuming that you're only able to enhance your own speed by about a dozenfold at the very most, right? I can tell you now that those who truly master the Reversal True Axis can enhance their own speed by hundreds of times, even over a thousandfold," Patriarch Miro said.
Han Li couldn't help but gasp in astonishment upon hearing this.
"That's why the Reversal True Axis is our True Mantra Sect's most powerful auxiliary ability, despite its one-dimensional nature," Patriarch Miro continued. "However, the ability asks a lot of one's physical constitution. I can tell that this is not a problem for you, given that you're already extremely advanced when it comes to physical cultivation, so it's a real pity that you've made so little progress in the Reversal True Axis."
Han Li's heartbeat immediately began to accelerate with excitement, but at the same time, he was kicking himself for his own oversight.
At some point, he had decided that he had already cultivated the Reversal True Axis to a sufficient degree, so he didn't allocate any more time to making further advancements.
After that, he acquired the Great Five Elemental Illusion Mantra, and that took up almost all of his time and attention, so all of his other time-attribute abilities were left untouched.
"As for the Mantra Domain, that's an ability that allows you to control the world around you through just your words. I used a hint of its power during my earlier lecture, and you saw what that amounted to.
“There are very stringent spiritual sense requirements for cultivating this ability, but once again, that is not a problem for you, so it's a massive waste that you're still stuck at the stage where you can only conjure up pure illusions in your Mantra Domain," Patriarch Miro continued.
Han Li had spent a great deal of effort on honing his Mantra Domain, so he felt a little indignant as he protested, "But aren't illusions already quite useful on their own?"
Han Li naturally raised no objections to this, and the two of them made their way into the neighboring treasure vault.
The layout of the treasure vault was similar to that of the scripture hall. A series of grids had been dug into the walls, with each grid containing one or a set of immortal treasures.
The difference was that there was an array in each grid to nurture the immortal treasures inside.
All of these immortal treasures were of an extremely high caliber, and even the worst ones were sixth tier immortal treasures, while the best ones weren't inferior to the white bead that Han Li had secured for the Essence Fire Raven.
However, following that brief period of self-reflection, Han Li's mental state had completely settled, and he remained unmoved by these treasures.
"There are some more remarkable places in our True Mantra Sect. Would you like to take a look at them as well?" Patriarch Miro invited.
"There's no need for that. I can see that the True Mantra Sect is indeed more powerful than I had ever imagined, but I'm accustomed to doing things on my own, and I can't stay here for much longer anyway, so I'm afraid I'll have to turn down your kind offer of taking me as your disciple," Han Li replied as he cupped his fist in an apologetic salute.
At this point, the number of remaining Time Dao Runes on the golden wheel above him would only be enough to allow him to remain in this time and space for about two more days, so even if he were to accept Patriarch Miro as his master, there wouldn't be much time for Patriarch Miro to instruct him.
On top of that, the True Mantra Sect was still incomparable to the monolith that was the Heavenly Court, and while he would gain some benefits from accepting Patriarch Miro as his master, it doing so would also throw him into the center of the conflict between the two almighty powers, so the benefits were simply outweighed by the drawbacks.
Patriarch Miro remained calm and collected after hearing what Han Li had to say, as if he had already anticipated such a response.
Instead of being incensed by Han Li's rejection, a smile appeared on his face as he said, "Looks like that wise man was correct in his evaluation. You are a very level-headed person, and you weren't swayed by everything that I showed you just now. I'm very happy to see that."
Han Li raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
"At the moment, you still think that you can remove yourself from the conflict between our True Mantra Sect and the Heavenly Court, but that's only because you don't know enough about the Great Five Elemental Illusion Mantra.
“Anyone who cultivates the Great Five Elemental Illusion Mantra, regardless of whether they join our True Mantra Sect or not, will inevitably be targeted and hunted by the Heavenly Court. On top of that, if I'm not mistaken, you should already be under some pressure from the Heavenly Court, right?" Patriarch Miro asked.
"How can you tell?" Han Li asked as he raised an eyebrow.
"I can sense the auras of the Spirit Refinement Technique and a Reincarnation Palace mask inside you. On top of that, I can sense that this is no ordinary mask, so you must be a Reincarnation Disciple. That, in addition to the fact that you're cultivating the laws of time, tells me that the Heavenly Court will definitely not be looking favorably upon you," Patriarch Miro explained with a faint smile.
"Your wisdom is truly unmatched, Senior," Han Li sighed with a resigned nod.
"Hence, whether you join our True Mantra Sect or not won't affect the Heavenly Court's attitude toward you. In fact, the Heavenly Court is most likely already convinced that you're a disciple of our True Mantra Sect," Patriarch Miro continued, and Han Li's expression darkened slightly upon hearing this.
