For primordial saints like them, there are not many things to contend for. The first is fortune, which is extremely important as it concerns their future cultivation. The second is face, which is the foundation for them to rule the primordial world and stand above all living beings.

The reason why the Three Pure Ones will turn against us in the future is nothing more than these two things.

Of course, apart from the Primordial Saint, all cultivators care most about these two things, especially matters of fortune, which are related to their own cultivation.

However, to compete for destiny, one needs certain resources. Without strength and a solid foundation, one is simply not qualified to participate in the struggle for destiny...

At this time, Hu Le held multiple positions and possessed boundless fortune. Furthermore, the Chaos Bell suppressed his fortune, ensuring that not a single bit of it was lost.

Now that his luck is soaring, it's not surprising that he obtained the much-needed spiritual treasure, the Cosmic Light Diagram.

Besides, he only obtained this spiritual treasure after defeating a Chaos Demon God. That's only possible because of him. For ordinary people, let alone obtaining a spiritual treasure, they would be lucky to avoid being possessed...

As the chaotic primordial spirit within the Hunyuan Cauldron continued to dissipate, Hu Le broke through and refined the innate divine restrictions in the Cosmic Light Diagram one by one.

After he refined the Cosmic Light Diagram to the ninth innate divine restriction in one go, the refinement of the next divine restriction suddenly became more difficult. The time and mana required to continue refining it were undoubtedly several times more than before.

According to his own calculations, it would take about three hundred years to refine just the tenth innate divine restriction.

Just as Hu Le was hesitating whether to continue refining, the chaotic primordial spirit inside the Hunyuan Cauldron had completely dissolved and transformed into a mass of chaotic primordial energy.

In the darkness, a mark of time is etched within, emanating the power of time that flows erratically within the vital energy.

Sensing the presence of that power of time, Hu Le suddenly had an idea. He immediately dispersed the true fire within the Hunyuan Cauldron and grabbed the ball of chaotic energy in his hand.

After only a brief examination, he understood the wondrous nature contained within this primordial energy.

If he could refine this chaotic primordial energy into his body, it might not only increase his magical power by eighteen eons, but also allow him to comprehend a time-related divine power based on the time principle contained within the primordial energy.

As for why this mass of chaotic primordial energy possesses the power of time, it is not surprising. After all, that chaotic demon god was born from the creation of the Great Dao of Time, so it is not strange that its primordial spirit contains a certain amount of the power of time.

Of course, besides refining it into the body, this substance has another use.

He thought about it for a while, and finally made up his mind.

He immediately swallowed the chaotic primordial energy into his body.

However, he did not immediately refine it into magic power. Instead, he used a secret technique to ignite the chaotic primordial energy, and the white primordial energy immediately crackled and burned.

The next instant, the power of time around him rippled slightly, and the time he was in also flickered and changed constantly. Initially, he was still a thousand years ago, and a moment later, he was in ten thousand years in the future.

With a sudden thought, he quickly summoned the Chaos Bell.

The Chaos Bell floated up and hovered above his head, swaying slightly.

Thump!

As the bells rang, the changing flow of time around us immediately stopped, and time itself froze at this very moment.

Taking this opportunity, he took out the Cosmic Light Diagram and continued to refine the innate divine restrictions within it.

Time flowed by at a leisurely pace in the primordial world, just like any other day.

However, within a radius of about ten feet around Hu Le, time seemed to freeze at that moment, no longer continuing to flow.

Hu Le's primordial spirit was immersed in the Cosmic Light Diagram, continuously refining the innate divine restrictions within the treasure map.

As the chaotic primordial energy within Hu Le's body rapidly depleted, the time imprint etched within it gradually faded.

In the blink of an eye, several years have passed in the primordial world. In the cultivation world, these few years are but a fleeting moment, not worth counting.

But for Hu Le, who was shrouded in the power of time, time seemed endless, and he knew nothing of the vicissitudes of life.

All he remembered was that the chaotic primordial energy within his body had consumed seven or eight eons' worth of magical power, and the mark of time was fading more and more.

However, he did not waste his time. He had already refined thirty innate divine restrictions on the Cosmic Light Diagram in one go.

The refining speed was already extremely fast. Even disregarding the time spent consuming golden pills and precious medicines to restore his primordial spirit and magical power, he really hadn't rested for even a moment...

As a top-tier innate spiritual treasure, the Cosmic Light Diagram has evolved into forty-two innate divine restrictions. To refine them all and unleash their full potential, he still needs to continue his efforts.

After refining another innate divine restriction, Hu Le felt increasingly exhausted and his magical power was almost depleted. He hurriedly took out a jade bottle from the purple gourd.

Then, he drew out a drop of Three Lights Divine Water from the jade bottle, swallowed it, and after refining it, he immediately became full of energy and his magic power was restored to most of its original state.

Then, he entered the previous state once again.

Decades passed in the blink of an eye, and on this day, the power of time surrounding Hu Le slowly dissipated.

The flow of time within his small space began to slowly synchronize with the outside world.

The chaotic primordial energy within Hu Le's body had already burned out completely, and the Time Imprint within it had also vanished without a trace.

Just then, Hu Le opened his eyes and sighed softly.

He only needed one last innate divine restriction to completely refine this treasure.

However, since things have come to this, there's nothing he can do but let the future take its course...

With a thought, Hu Le caused the Chaos Bell, which had been hanging above his head, to fall down. He picked it up and shook it gently. The Chaos Bell suddenly shrank and turned into a small bell.

Then, he tied it around his waist like an ornament, and as he walked, the Chaos Bell swayed, occasionally emitting a series of melodious and crisp chimes.

He put away the Chaos Bell, and at the same time raised his hand and pointed, the Primordial Cauldron in front of him slowly rose up, then flew to the back hall wrapped in a ball of light, and finally landed on a stone platform.

Around the Hunyuan Cauldron, there were various innate spiritual treasures, most of which were his personal belongings.

When they weren't in use, he placed them all on this stone platform.

This stone platform is no ordinary stone platform. It was originally a creation that Taiyi took from the chaos and later refined into this stone platform for placing treasures.

As long as the treasure is placed on this stone platform, it will be nourished by the spiritual energy and creation contained within the platform, and its spirituality will continuously grow stronger.

As one's spirituality grows stronger, the act of offering becomes more effortless and controlled, as if it were one's own arm...

Inside the Tongming Hall.

Hu Lejiu stood up from his throne, picked up the Universe Light Map, and shook it. The map unfolded, and five-colored rays of light shot into the sky...
