Forged from seven-rank time crystal sand, eight-rank causal threads cluster, supplemented with six-rank spirit rhyme mysterious tortoise shell essence, six-rank withered glory year wood marrow, six-rank ten-thousand-year black core vine soul, and numerous precious spiritual materials of Years and Karma, melted by Chaos Fire, achieving the Seven-Rank Dao Artifact. This artifact can use the power of Years to peer into Celestial Change, deduce Karma, avoid calamities, and furthermore, with Chaos as its foundation, time as its guide, and Karma as its weaver, it can weave the trajectory of fate and evolve Celestial Change.
Looking at the completely new Time Luck Spirit Turtle, Li Mu felt an inexpressible sense of accomplishment. The powerful aura of a Seven-Rank Dao Artifact rushed towards him. The Spirit Turtle's eyes glowed even more profoundly than before, and on its shell, the artifact patterns of Chaos, Time, and Karma intertwined into a profound pattern, full of mysterious aura.
“Master!” The Time Luck Spirit Turtle’s voice resounded in Li Mu’s mind, carrying a hint of nascent joy and loyalty to its master. Its voice was clear and substantial, as if it had transcended the shackles of time and space, directly stirring ripples in Li Mu’s Sea of Consciousness.
“You have finally completed your transformation, Time Luck!” Li Mu smiled slightly, responding happily.
“Yes, thank you, Master. Under the forging of the Chaos Fire, I have not only solidified my own spirituality but also more perfectly integrated the powers of the three great Laws: Years, Time, and Karma. Now, I can not only more accurately peer into Celestial Change and predict the future, but also, to a certain extent, reverse time and obscure Karma, gaining more preemptive opportunities and turning points for Master,” the Time Luck Spirit Turtle artifact spirit responded excitedly.
“Excellent, excellent!” Li Mu nodded repeatedly with joy, preparing to test the Time Luck Spirit Turtle's new abilities. However, just as he was about to further explore the Time Luck Spirit Turtle's new abilities, he suddenly felt a strong sense of exhaustion wash over him.
Li Mu's expression changed slightly; his true essence was almost exhausted, and his Divine Soul also felt a wave of fatigue. Clearly, the process of re-forging the Time Luck Spirit Turtle had consumed too much of his power.
“I will test your abilities after I recover,” Li Mu indicated, looking at the Time Luck Spirit Turtle.
With that, Li Mu took out two bottles of Dao Pill from his tianxuan ring, poured out two Dao Pills, swallowed them without hesitation, and then silently circulated the Chaos Dao Scripture and Star Cloud Contemplation Method, rapidly replenishing his depleted true essence and Divine Soul.
The Time Luck Spirit Turtle floated quietly in the air, its deep eyes fixed on Li Mu, revealing boundless loyalty as it silently awaited Li Mu's recovery.
Time flew by, and several days passed.
After a period of recuperation, Li Mu's true essence and Divine Soul gradually became full, and the feeling of fatigue was swept away.
“I have fully recovered. Now, let’s test your new abilities!” Li Mu said, looking at the Time Luck Spirit Turtle.
“Alright, Master!”
The Time Luck Spirit Turtle happily complied. The artifact patterns on its shell flowed, emitting a faint light, as if resonating with the forces of Chaos, Time, and Karma between heaven and earth.
Li Mu frowned slightly, intending to use the newly learned divination Cultivation Technique, "Secrets of Celestial Change," but he couldn't add points to upgrade it, so he simply gave up and switched to "Celestial Evolution Ephemeral Life," casting the Divine Ability - Divination of Floating Evolution, activating the Time Luck Spirit Turtle.
Li Mu sat cross-legged, surrounded by faint Spiritual Qi fluctuations. He closed his eyes, his mind sinking into the profound Realm of "Celestial Evolution Ephemeral Life." With a thought, the Cultivation Technique of "Celestial Evolution Ephemeral Life" began to circulate, and waves of mysterious power surged from within him, gathering between his hands.
“Divination of Floating Evolution, activate!” Li Mu whispered, forming hand Seals. Waves of divination power surged, transforming into a stream of light that merged into the Time Luck Spirit Turtle floating in mid-air.
The Time Luck Spirit Turtle's eyes suddenly lit up, and the Chaos, Time, and Karma artifact patterns on its shell seemed to come alive, flowing with dazzling light and resonating strongly with the Law forces between heaven and earth. Waves of mysterious power emanated from the turtle shell, forming profound trigrams that floated around Li Mu.
Li Mu's mind sank into these trigrams, and as his thoughts turned, the trigrams continuously changed.
The next moment, Li Mu's mind transcended the boundaries of time and space, entering the River of Years, personally witnessing scenes of the future that continuously appeared before his eyes.
In the vision, the nine-rank divine object - golden flame holy crystal stirred up gusts of golden evil hurricanes, agitating circles of golden ripples. He, on the other hand, presided over the Chaos Sealing Spirit Formation, and with the assistance of Xue'er and Xiao Jin, successfully suppressed and sealed the nine-rank divine object - golden flame holy crystal.
Immediately after, the scene shifted. He was in a dark and deep ruin, surrounded by endless Yin evil qi. A Xuan Yin River hung in the air, and endless Yin evil Dragons emerged. Behind him, there was a vast expanse of Devilish Qi, reaching the heavens. Those were high-rank demon beasts from the Demon Abyss. They varied in form, some as ferocious as giant beasts, others as ethereal as ghosts, but without exception, they all exuded a heart-palpitating evil aura. They either soared with flapping wings or darted like lightning, closely pursuing Li Mu in front, like a pack of hungry wolves, vowing to hunt down their prey.
Even more terrifyingly, amidst this army of demon beasts, there were also several Great Ascension Demon Cultivators, whose attacks carried the might to destroy heaven and earth, attempting to completely stop him.
Next, in the following scene, he was in a vast and boundless Star Domain outside the territory. Stars, like countless pearls, were embedded in the dark night sky, emitting distant and faint light. He was riding a shimmering Flying Sword, swiftly moving through the Void Realm, leaving a long trail of spiritual light behind him, like a meteor streaking across the night sky.
In the next scene, he was alone, surrounded by thick Devilish Qi and a murderous aura. The corpses of demon cultivators and demon beasts lay everywhere. He held Myriad Swords Mountain in his right hand, and the Chaos Spirit Banner floated beside him. His Chaos Dao Body was fully revealed, facing the strong enemy in his peak state.
From the opposite side, an endless darkness rose, like a moving mountain of an Eternal Demon God. Its face was hidden within the ink-like Devilish Qi, revealing only a pair of cold, icy eyes that radiated boundless killing intent and arrogance.
… …
“Master, be careful!” The Time Luck Spirit Turtle’s voice suddenly exploded in Li Mu’s Sea of Consciousness, with an unprecedented urgency and warning, interrupting Li Mu’s divination spell.
Li Mu's mind sharply withdrew from the breathtaking scene, his gaze like a torch, looking at the Time Luck Spirit Turtle floating in mid-air. He saw that the artifact patterns on the Time Luck Spirit Turtle's shell flickered erratically, the light dimming and brightening, as if it was undergoing some violent fluctuation.
“What’s wrong, Time Luck?” Li Mu asked, a hint of fatigue on his face, puzzled.
“Master, Celestial Change is unfathomable, and the River of Years should not be peered into too deeply.” The Time Luck Spirit Turtle’s voice echoed in Li Mu’s Sea of Consciousness, solemnly warning: “Although I can use the power of Years to peer into Celestial Change, the backlash from Celestial Change is equally terrifying. What you just saw from the River of Years is already the limit. If you delve deeper, I’m afraid it will attract a terrible backlash, and I will not be able to resist it either.”
“Understood!” Li Mu nodded silently, stopping the Celestial Change deduction.
At this moment, Li Mu was troubled, replaying the scenes he had glimpsed in the River of Years. Clearly, the scenes he saw this time were slightly different from the future scenes he had glimpsed when previously casting "Secrets of Celestial Change."
Before, it was the direct sealing of the Taiyin Divine Water, encountering the ambush of the Eternal Demon God, and Xue'er, Xiao Jin, and Azure Moon True Dragon all suffered fatal heavy injuries in order to protect him. Those tragic and devastating scenes still left him with lingering fears.
But this time, through the Seven-Rank Dao Artifact - Time Luck Spirit Turtle, Li Mu glimpsed more things from the River of Years, seeing more details and changes: the sealing of the golden flame holy crystal, the escape in the Star Domain, and finally the decisive battle against the Eternal Demon God… Every scene was full of unknowns and dangers, but at the same time, it revealed a glimmer of turning point and hope.
Li Mu fell silent, repeatedly pondering these scenes in his mind, trying to find the key to changing his fate. Since he could glimpse the future, then there must be an opportunity to change those tragic outcomes.
Just then, the Time Luck Spirit Turtle's voice sounded in Li Mu's mind, indicating: “Master, the River of Years is not immutable. It is like a constantly flowing river, sometimes calm, sometimes turbulent. The future you glimpsed is only one possibility among many, not a certainty.”
Upon hearing this, a hint of understanding flashed in Li Mu's eyes. He had already gained enlightenment from the first future scene, which was why the second deduction produced new changes.
“The future is not set in stone, but full of infinite possibilities. What I need to do is to grasp these possibilities and take my destiny into my own hands.” Li Mu nodded knowingly, his tone revealing unprecedented confidence.
Seeing Li Mu's comprehension, the spiritual light emitted by the Time Luck Spirit Turtle softened, and it continued to indicate: “Master, since you can glimpse the future, it means you have the opportunity to guide the future, and even change it. But please remember, every action may trigger a chain reaction, and the direction of the future will therefore become more complex and variable.”
“Understood! Thank you for your hard work!” Li Mu put the Time Luck Spirit Turtle back into his tianxuan ring. Then, his gaze fell back on Wan Gu Yu’s storage ring. At present, he needed to find ways to quickly increase his strength to be able to cope with the upcoming crisis.
Li Mu was filled with anticipation and curiosity about the remaining six jade boxes. These jade boxes might contain the most precious treasures Wan Gu Yu had collected in his lifetime, each containing extremely powerful energy.
Li Mu's Divine Thought stirred slightly, and the fourth jade box slowly floated before him. Gently opening the lid of the jade box, he saw a yellowed scroll of parchment lying quietly inside, exuding a mysterious and ancient aura.
This Pill Formula was clearly ancient, its edges already yellowed, but the characters on it were still clearly visible. Li Mu carefully examined the characters on the Pill Formula. Under the Heavenly Talent - Identifying Myriad Spirits, the information of the formula was presented one by one before his eyes.
