The Great Calamity of Conferred Divinity was approaching.
This was a terrifying calamity that swept across all heavens and realms, even the Heavenly Dao Saints fought with all their might, completely shattering the ancient primordial realm.
He possessed an extraordinary talent for comprehension, and his innate aptitude was also extraordinary. What he lacked most was time.
With this artifact, Yu Lei’s cultivation time was directly increased by a hundred times.
Moreover, although this artifact could not be used to fight, as a treasure that could manipulate time, it must have contained the law of time.
This would be greatly beneficial to Yu Lei’s comprehension of the law of time.
It is said, among the three thousand Great Dao, time is the most revered, and space is the king!
Yu Lei immediately named it the Time Wheel, and then eagerly began to refine it.
....................
You refine the Time Wheel, comprehend the law of time. Current Time Law: 5%
............................
Soon, he refined the Time Wheel, and the gains were astonishing, directly comprehending the second-ranked law of time!
After refining the Time Wheel, Yu Lei couldn't wait to experiment.
As Yu Lei activated the Time Wheel in his hand, a hazy clear light enveloped his body.
Yu Lei, standing in this clear light, felt as if he was in another world, almost completely cut off from the outside.
And in fact, this was the case. Under the influence of the Time Wheel, the flow of time for Yu Lei was completely different from the outside world.
Theoretically, Yu Lei could accelerate or slow down the flow of time through the Time Wheel.
But for Yu Lei, accelerating his time was unnecessary, it would mean that for every year he cultivated, a hundred years would pass in the outside world.
Not only would it be meaningless, but it would also be dangerous.
Slowing down his own time was the correct way to use this treasure.
At the same time, Yu Lei also discovered the defects of this Time Wheel.
Perhaps because it was broken, or perhaps because it involved time, using this artifact was incredibly costly!
Even Yu Lei, a Golden Immortal, found it very taxing.
Fortunately, Yu Lei also mastered the Great Divine Ability, the Nine Breaths to Absorb Qi, and his speed of absorbing spiritual energy was fast enough.
In a state of constant give and take, he could maintain a “balanced budget.”
After studying the Time Wheel for a while, Yu Lei did not rush into seclusion, after all, the preaching by Master Tongtian was about to begin.
In the short time he was waiting, Yu Lei went to the market a few more times, but found no more treasures worth snatching up.
Obviously, as more and more immortals arrived at Golden Aurous Island, it was not so easy to find bargains anymore.
But for Yu Lei, having a Time Wheel was not bad at all. It could even be said that he had struck it rich.
Yu Lei immediately stopped thinking about other things and found a place near the Biyou Palace to calmly wait for the preaching to begin.
...............
Cultivation knows no time, a hundred years passed in the blink of an eye, and in the Time Wheel's hundredfold time flow, Yu Lei had actually cultivated for ten thousand years.
During these ten thousand years, he consolidated the numerous divine abilities he had mastered, and his primordial spirit cultivation had also advanced to the middle stage of the Golden Immortal Realm.
From Golden Immortal to Taiyi Golden Immortal, there was no major bottleneck, it was simply a matter of gradual progress, a matter of accumulating internal spiritual energy.
In the blink of an eye, the day of the preaching had arrived.
Golden Aurous Island was teeming with people, and the area outside the Biyou Palace was packed.
The preaching by a Saint would naturally take place inside the Biyou Palace.
But not just anyone could enter the Biyou Palace. Besides the legitimate disciples of the Intercession Sect, other cultivators could only obediently stay outside the Biyou Palace to listen to the preaching.
The so-called legitimate disciples of the Intercession Sect were those who were the personal disciples of Master Tongtian, inner disciples, and outer disciples. They had a clear lineage and were personally recognized by Master Tongtian.
As for those who called themselves disciples of the Intercession Sect after listening to a few preachings, they could only be considered registered disciples, those who were acknowledged by the Intercession Sect.
Naturally, no one dared to have any objections.
Yu Lei didn't care either. Although the bad habit of scrambling for seats formed when the Primordial Ancestor Hongjun preached in the past, in reality, listening to the preaching was mainly about one's own comprehension, the distance was not that important.
Immortals from all directions surrounded the Biyou Palace in layer upon layer, all lined up neatly according to their realm.
As a Golden Immortal, Yu Lei was among the closest group to the Biyou Palace.
At the same time, through conversations with fellow cultivators around him, Yu Lei also learned the process of Master Tongtian's preaching.
Master Tongtian would not preach easily, but each time he did, it would last for a very long time.
Typically, each preaching would be divided into three sessions, each lasting a hundred years. Then, after a gap of a hundred years, the next session would begin.
The gap between sessions was a time for the listeners to digest what they had learned, which was quite thoughtful of Master Tongtian.
Yu Lei naturally agreed with this.
As time passed, the time for the preaching finally arrived!
There were no opening remarks, only the grand Dao sound, echoing within the Biyou Palace, and then spreading out to the entire Golden Aurous Island!
The Dao that can be spoken is not the eternal Dao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name.
A Saint's preaching could not be expressed with language.
Language couldn't truly convey the true meaning of the Dao.
The so-called preaching was Master Tongtian directly presenting the Dao laws he had comprehended in the form of Dao sound to all the listeners.
This was a language suitable for all living beings, and it was the best way to preach.
That was why, each listener could comprehend something different.
As the Dao sound rang out, for a moment, heavenly flowers rained down and golden lotuses sprouted from the ground on Golden Aurous Island, as if countless Dao laws were resonating in the void!
This kind of extraordinary phenomenon would occur during a Saint's preaching.
But no one paid any attention at this time. Everyone was immersed in the Dao sound, using all their strength to comprehend, afraid of wasting a single moment.
Yu Lei was no exception.
But the difference between him and others was that he activated the Time Wheel the moment the Dao sound began, placing himself in a hundredfold time flow.
After confirming that the different time flow did not affect Master Tongtian's Dao sound, Yu Lei was relieved and began to comprehend.
Master Tongtian preached for a hundred years, in a hundredfold time flow, Yu Lei could listen to the preaching for ten thousand years!
For Yu Lei, it was a huge gain!
…………
As time went by, Yu Lei's gains grew.
Master Tongtian was most skilled in the Dao of the Sword and the Dao of Formations, so his preaching would lean towards these aspects.
However, the so-called “understanding one law, understanding all laws,” Master Tongtian had mastered more than just these two Dao laws, so other Dao laws were also mixed in.
After some deliberation, Yu Lei decisively chose to focus on the Dao of the Sword and the Dao of Formations.
On the one hand, he did not want to settle for less, on the other hand, Yu Lei had already comprehended a portion of these two Dao laws, now with the guidance of a Saint, his progress would be much faster!
And indeed, as Yu Lei had expected, his Dao of the Sword and Dao of Formations advanced rapidly!
Not only that, but Yu Lei also comprehended many related divine abilities and formations!
