"No, since you insist on this, then leave!" Mi Luo Celestial Immortal Venerable said coldly, his eyes and tone devoid of any emotion.
"Old Master... Fang Ling, what are you doing?" Xue Xi still wanted to say something to Mi Luo Celestial Immortal Venerable, but then he saw Fang Ling directly condense an Arrow of Time, shooting it at Mi Luo Celestial Immortal Venerable’s temporal projection.
The Arrow of Time passed through Mi Luo Celestial Immortal Venerable’s body without any splattering blood, but his body became somewhat ethereal.
"How dare you? You actually dare to do this?" Mi Luo Celestial Immortal Venerable’s projection looked at Fang Ling in disbelief.
"Senior, since you won’t give it to us, then we’ll take it ourselves!" Fang Ling sneered, and at the same time, condensed another Arrow of Time and shot it out.
At the same time, Yu Qingtan also cast the Great Stabilizing Divine Art.
The Great Stabilizing Divine Art, a mix of the Origin of Soul Dao, Origin of Space, and Origin of Time, could also affect Mi Luo Celestial Immortal Venerable’s temporal projection.
Mi Luo Celestial Immortal Venerable’s projection stiffened momentarily before being pierced again by the Arrow of Time, becoming even more ethereal.
"You’re rebelling, rebelling! If you act like this, don’t even think about receiving my legacy!" Mi Luo Celestial Immortal Venerable shouted in anger.
Fang Ling and Yu Qingtan exchanged glances, realizing that this projection of Mi Luo Celestial Immortal Venerable probably couldn’t attack them, so they attacked even more recklessly.
In the impotent fury of Mi Luo Celestial Immortal Venerable’s temporal projection, he was continuously attacked by the two, soon turning into an indistinct silhouette of a phantom.
"Fine, fine, fine, if you’re so reckless, then become lost in the river of time!"
As Mi Luo Celestial Immortal Venerable’s projection let out an angry shout, the entire great hall suddenly began to tremble. The runes and patterns around seemed to come to life, circulating dazzling light, intertwining into an extremely complicated net of time, wrapping tightly around Fang Ling and Yu Qingtan.
"This is not good, it’s the Time Exile Cage!" Xue Xi’s anxious voice sounded.
Yu Qingtan felt the flow of time around her becoming chaotic, as if every moment was passing at an accelerated pace, yet also as if it was being infinitely stretched, elusive to grasp.
"Universe Light Unbounded, Blade of Time!" Fang Ling shouted, and the Immortal Artifact Universe Light Pearl radiated blinding light, forming the shape of a blade, slicing towards the surrounding Time Exile Cage.
The Blade of Time emitted by the Universe Light Pearl was like the light of dawn, incredibly sharp. The complex net of time, woven from intricate runes and patterns, began to crack under the cutting of the Blade of Time, its light gradually dimming.
"What! How is this possible! You’re only at the Void Refinement Stage, how can you wield such power from the Immortal Artifact Universe Light Pearl!" Both Mi Luo Celestial Immortal Venerable’s projection and Xue Xi were shocked.
Seeing this, Yu Qingtan exerted her full strength in casting the Great Stabilizing Divine Art, to win Fang Ling more time to break free.
With the tacit cooperation of the two, the cracks in the Time Exile Cage grew larger and, finally, with a loud "bang," it completely shattered, turning into specks of light that dissipated within the great hall.
The projection of Mi Luo Celestial Immortal Venerable also completely vanished, and a silver ring suddenly appeared where he had been.
"The Mi Luo Ring of the Old Master! His legacy is definitely inside!" Xue Xi cried out excitedly.
Fang Ling and Yu Qingtan exchanged glances, both unable to hide their excitement and curiosity. They looked at the quietly floating silver ring lying on the ground—the Mi Luo Ring—it seemed to contain endless ages and wisdom, waiting for its new master to unveil its secrets.
Using his spiritual power, Fang Ling drew the ring towards himself, feeling a warm current of spiritual power flowing from the ring and resonating with the spiritual power within his body. He gently slid the ring onto his finger, and suddenly the surface of the ring burst into a dazzling light, followed by a surge of extensive information flooding into his mind.
"This is... the inheritance of the Miluo Celestial Immortal Venerable!" Fang Ling was shocked. He felt as if he was situated in the vast river of time, witnessing the entire journey of the Miluo Celestial Immortal Venerable from an ordinary cultivator to achieving immortal ascension through the Path of Time.
Those profound understandings of the Time Law, unique cultivation methods, and self-created immortal techniques and divine skills rushed towards him like a tidal wave, enabling his cultivation level and insights to leap forward in quality in a short period of time.
"So the Path of Time isn’t just about controlling the speed of time; it’s also about understanding the supreme principle of the birth and death of all things in the universe and the cycle of cause and effect," Fang Ling pondered in his heart.
He gradually realized that the reason why the Miluo Celestial Immortal Venerable became an immortal venerable of his era was not just because he had mastered the power of the Time Law, but also because he could perceive the truth behind time and incorporate it into his cultivation.
Additionally, the Mi Luo Ring was also a storage ring, containing a few items that were not many, but all extremely precious.
Firstly, there was the "Time Hourglass," an exotic treasure capable of reversing time and revisiting the past.
With the infusion of enough spiritual power, it could make time within a small area flow backward, reproducing a moment from the past, but the speed of time within this area would increase to ensure it aligned with the outside world afterward.
However, this treasure could be used only a limited number of times, and each use would consume a considerable amount of spiritual power and lifespan; it should not be used lightly unless absolutely necessary.

Next was the "Chronicles of Ages," an ancient text that recorded countless secrets and cultivation experiences of Time Law. The book contained not only the cultivation insights of the Miluo Celestial Immortal Venerable but also many rare materials and secret techniques related to the Time Law, making it an invaluable treasure for cultivators who practice the Path of Time.
Lastly, there were ten "Time Crystals," which were crystallized forms of pure Power of Time, containing immense Time Law strength.
Cultivators could accelerate their own cultivation by absorbing the power from the Time Crystals, and even directly enhance their cultivation realm. However, absorbing the Time Crystals also required a high cultivation level and a profound understanding of the Time Law; otherwise, it would be easy to suffer cultivation deviation and get trapped in the vortex of time with no way out.
Fang Ling introduced the content of the inheritance to Yu Qingtan and then handed the Mi Luo Ring to her.
Yu Qingtan slipped it onto her thumb and, as expected, no information poured into her mind.
"It seems that the inheritance can only be comprehended once!" Seeing Yu Qingtan shake her head and remove the Mi Luo Ring, Fang Ling said.
"In that case, you take the Time Hourglass, we’ll split the Time Crystals evenly, and study the Chronicles of Ages together. How’s that?" Fang Ling suggested.
"Keep the Time Hourglass with you. If I need to use it, I’ll come to you to borrow it," Yu Qingtan said.
"That works!"

Fang Ling nodded, he carefully stored the Time Hourglass, and they each took five Time Crystals to savor and absorb on their future path of cultivation.
As for the Chronicles of Ages, the two decided to study it together and take turns keeping it, ensuring they both could continue advancing on the path of time and make joint progress.
After dividing the treasures, following the guidance of the Universe Light Pearl, they returned to the rocky area where the phantom of the river of time was located and then rejoined Bai Junjun and Jiang Yueli to return to the surface.
