Chapter 1195: Oneness Tier

Han Li made his way out of the pavilion to look up at the river of light in the sky, which looked as if it had been formed by countless stars.

As he gazed upon the starry river, he suddenly felt as if the specks of starlight within it had begun to move, flashing through the river like clusters of shooting stars.

A peculiar sensation welled up in Han Li's heart upon seeing this, and he could sense bursts of time law power fluctuations emanating from the river.

He swept his gaze over the surrounding area, only to discover that everything seemed to have fallen completely still under the umbrella of these time law power fluctuations.

Intrigued, Han Li made a hand seal to channel the Great Five Elemental Illusion Mantra, and his five time-attribute law treasures also appeared around him one after another.

The five law treasures then flew into the river of light overhead, and the time law treasures within them flew out before fusing with the river of light.

The river of light instantly began to glow with dazzling, golden radiance that descended from above to inundate the entire Flower Branch domain, basking the entire space in a layer of time law power fluctuations.

Han Li was rather alarmed to see this, thinking that all of his time law threads had vanished without a trace, and he hurriedly swept a sleeve through the air to conjure up a huge time spirit domain to encompass the entire Flower Branch domain.

He then attempted to summon his time law threads back to himself through the spirit domain, but to no avail.

Meanwhile, as soon as his spirit domain appeared, numerous translucent dao runes had begun flying out of his five time-attribute law treasures to fuse with the space within the spirit domain.

Bursts of formidable energy fluctuations began to spread through the spirit domain, and the Mantra Treasured Axis rose up from behind to transform into a round full moon in the sky.

The full moon was giving off rays of golden light that shone down upon the entire spirit domain, and the light was just as bright as the sun on a hot summer's day, but it gave off no heat at all.

At the same time, the Illusory Dawn Hourglass descended to the ground, where it transformed into a golden sea of sand that filled the entire spirit domain.

A peculiar sensation welled up in Han Li's heart upon seeing this.

It seemed that something about his time-attribute law treasures had changed in the wake of his breakthrough.

Even after it had risen up into the air, the Mantra Treasured Axis remained rather illusory in appearance. However, specks of golden light were fusing into it from all directions, and its connection with the spirit domain was becoming deeper and deeper, as if they were about to fuse as one.

Is my spirit domain evolving to the Creation Tier?

A stunned look appeared on Han Li's face upon seeing this, but the surprises didn't end there.

All of a sudden, the Clear Time Vial fell down onto the sea of golden sand, and the golden liquid within came flowing out.

Not only did the golden liquid not seep into the Illusory Dawn Sand, it continued to accumulate rapidly, and before long, it had formed a shimmering, golden river.

The river was able to manipulate the landscape, shifting the sand on the ground to create mountains and valleys.

Immediately thereafter, the Eastern Vicissitudes Divine Tree also descended onto the ground below, where it transformed into lush forests that spread rapidly in all directions.

Just like the full moon overhead, all of these manifestations began to slowly fuse with the spirit domain.

At this point, it had become abundantly clear to Han Li what was happening, and he leaped up into the air before sitting down with his legs crossed in a suspended fashion.

From there, he channeled his Great Five Elemental Illusion Mantra with all his might, releasing his time law powers and immortal spiritual power to fill the entire spirit domain.

As the time law powers flowed out of his body, the rate at which his time-attribute law treasures fused with his spirit domain began to speed up, but it was still agonizingly slow.

At this rate, he had no idea how long it was going to take to complete the endeavor. Additionally, he only had enough Immortal Origin Stones to maintain the Celestial Time Array for a century at most, which equated to ten thousands years.

Having already taken two thousand years to make his breakthrough, he only had eight thousand years left, and it was nothing short of delusional to expect to be able to completely stabilize a Creation Tier spirit domain during that time.

There's just not enough time to do everything in one go... Perhaps I should try completing fusion on one of them first,

Han Li thought to himself, and with that, he made a decision, sweeping a sleeve toward the lush forest formed by the Eastern Vicissitudes Divine Tree.

All of the time law powers and immortal spiritual power in the air immediately flowed toward the Eastern Vicissitudes Divine Tree, and the rate of fusion of the other four time-attribute law treasures instantly slowed, while the exact opposite could be seen in the Eastern Vicissitudes Divine Tree.

It's working!

He had chosen the Eastern Vicissitudes Divine Tree as opposed to the Mantra Treasured Axis, the latter of which he was most familiar with, as he didn't have much confidence in the final outcome.

As time passed, Han Li continued to release his immortal spiritual power and time law powers to accelerate the maturation of his spirit domain.

Before long, another two thousand years had passed by, equating to only twenty years in the outside world.

Twenty years ago, Xiaobai had already sensed that Han Li had successfully made a breakthrough, and he was starting to grow rather concerned by the fact that Han Li was still in seclusion.

"Surely he should've come out by now! What's taking him so long? Could it be that something's gone wrong? No, there's no way that could happen to Master. He must be working on something else, but we don't have much time left..."

Xiaobai paced back and forth in an agitated manner, and he could only voice his concerns to the Essence Fire Raven.

Through their spiritual connection, he could sense that Han Li was fine, so he wasn't concerned for Han Li's safety. Instead, he was much more concerned about the two hundred years that he had been given running out.

The Essence Fire Raven could only shake its head in a resigned manner in response to Xiaobai's concerned queries, and Xiaobai was struck by the urge to enter the Flower Branch domain to check on Han Li on multiple occasions, but had to hold himself back for fear of disturbing Han Li's cultivation.

......

Inside the domain, Han Li was staring intently at the space down below, where the golden forest had already taken on a very substantial form.

With that, his spirit domain had reached the Creation Tier.

It only took two thousand years!

Han Li was quite pleased with this outcome.

Stabilizing a Creation Tier spirit domain was a very time-consuming task, and it could easily take tens, even hundreds of thousands of years for someone else.

Han Li speculated that the reasons why he had been able to complete this process so quickly were twofold. Firstly, the cultivation art that he was using was extremely advanced, and secondly, his five time-attribute law treasures contained the powers of the five elements to begin with.

All things in this world came from the five elements, so when it came to creation, things that contained the power of the five elements enjoyed an innate advantage.

Han Li swept his gaze over the manifestations of his other time-attribute law treasures as he murmured to himself, "There's not enough time for now, so I'll just have to create all of you at some later date."

Right as he was about to withdraw his spirit domain, a strange sound suddenly rang out from elsewhere within the Flower Branch domain.

Immediately thereafter, a streak of azure light rose up into the air from the spirit medicine garden, then raced over to Han Li before plunging into the golden forest in his spirit domain.

Han Li focused his gaze on the object to discover that it was a strange-looking tree.

Is that... the Twin Birth Tree?

Indeed, it was none other than the Twin Birth Tree that he had harvested from the ruins of the True Mantra Sect.

He recalled that the Twin Birth Tree had been growing extremely slowly, but this one had clearly already reached full maturity.

As soon as the tree fell into the forest, it immediately took root in the ground, and azure light began to radiate from it, forming what appeared to have been an azure forest.

The azure forest began to overlap with the golden one, and it looked as if they were about to fuse together.

A physical object is now fusing with my spirit domain? Isn't that something that's only supposed to happen at the Oneness Tier?

Oneness Tier spirit domains transcended beyond Creation and Spiritform Tier spirit domains as they could integrate things that contained the same type of law powers as itself, thereby giving the spirit domain a physical form, allowing it to completely dominate spirit domains of the previous two tiers.

In a Oneness Tier spirit domain, the cultivator was essentially one with the heavens, presiding over the spirit domain like a supreme ruler, granting them virtual invincibility against enemies.
