The Longevity Family: Starting from the Foundation Establishment Ancestor

Han Mu and his companions escaped the Chaotic Sea for millions of miles and temporarily settled on a desolate star.

"My lord, we've reaped quite a harvest this time! The Time Lord's token, the Great Array Diagram, and so many treasures." Luo Feng's eyes gleamed as he counted the items he had looted from the secret chamber.

"Don't be too happy yet. Shi Yu won't give up, and Shi Zun won't let us off the hook either. We need to be careful from now on." Han Mu sat down cross-legged and took out Shi Zun's identity token to examine it carefully.

The token is entirely gold, with the character "时" (time) engraved on the front and a complex star map on the back, marked with countless points of light, the largest of which is the Chaotic Time Sea.

"My lord, this token is no ordinary item. I sense a strong fluctuation of the laws of time within it; it seems to be a magical artifact," Zhou Meng said.

"It is indeed a magic weapon, and a top-tier one at that. With it, we might be able to unlock the treasure left by the Time Lord at the source of time." Han Mu tried to inject his immortal power into the token. The token emitted golden light, and the light spots on the star map began to move, eventually pointing in a certain direction.

"This is a beacon, pointing to the source of time." Han Mu's eyes lit up; the star map on the token was a map leading to the source of time.

"My lord, the Time Source Headquarters is the Time Lord's lair, so it must be heavily guarded. Going there now would be suicide," Han Li warned.

"I know the time isn't right yet. I'll go somewhere else to improve my strength first." Han Mu put away the token and took out the other treasures he had obtained from the secret chamber to take inventory.

There were mountains of immortal crystals, numbering at least hundreds of millions, hundreds of immortal artifacts, thousands of bottles of elixirs, and countless rare and precious materials.

"We're rich! We're rich! With so many resources, we can cultivate to the level of Immortal Emperor!" Luo Feng grinned from ear to ear.

"Cultivate to the level of Immortal Emperor? Dream on. These resources will at most get you to the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal," Zhou Meng retorted.

"The late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm is enough; I'm only at the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm right now," Luo Feng chuckled.

Han Mu ignored their bickering, picked out a few items from the treasures that would help improve his strength, and gave the rest to Zhou Meng and Luo Feng.

"My lord, this bottle of pills is the Nine-Turn Golden Pill, which can help people break through to the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal. Please keep it for yourself." Zhou Meng handed over a jade bottle.

"And this ancient snow lotus can purify inner demons and stabilize your realm." Luo Feng also handed over a snow lotus.

"Keep them for yourselves, I don't need them." Han Mu shook his head. He was now in the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, only one step away from the peak, but this step could not be made up for by pills; it required enlightenment.

"My lord, where shall we go next?" Han Li asked.

"Find a place to go into seclusion. I need to comprehend the laws of time. You all should also improve your strength. The Time Lord may send people at any time, so we must become stronger as soon as possible," Han Mu said.

The four left the desolate star and found a hidden asteroid belt in the sea of ​​stars, where they opened a cave and began their secluded cultivation.

Han Mu entered the depths of the cave, took out the Time Venerable Identity Token, and the star map on the token reappeared, this time with an additional line of small characters.

"With this token, one can enter the Mirror of Time, pass through the nine layers of mirror images, and obtain the Origin of Time."

"The Time Mirror, ninefold reflection, the origin of time." Han Mu pondered. This Time Mirror must be a test left by the Time Lord. Passing the test will allow one to obtain the origin of time, which is the source of the laws of time. If one can obtain it, the laws of time can break through to a higher level.

"Give it a try." Han Mu infused the token with his immortal power, and the token emitted a dazzling golden light that enveloped Han Mu. The next moment, Han Mu appeared in a peculiar space.

The space is surrounded by smooth mirrors, reflecting countless Han Mu figures, each with different movements and expressions.

"Challengers, defeat the nine mirror images to obtain the Origin of Time." An aged voice echoed through the space.

As the voice faded, Han Mu stepped out from the first mirror, his aura identical to Han Mu's—a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal with perfected Time Law.

"First layer of mirror image, defeat me." Mirror image Han Mu spoke, his voice icy.

"Interesting, fighting against oneself." Han Mu didn't waste any words and made his move directly, activating the Law of Time, which slowed down the flow of time around him.

Mirror Han Mu also used the Law of Time, and the two Laws of Time collided, causing space to tremble.

Han Mu fought against the mirror image. The two used the same moves and were equally strong. Neither could gain the upper hand, and they fought for a whole day without a clear winner.

"This fight will never end. We must find the mirror image's weakness." Han Mu observed calmly and found that although the mirror image was the same as himself, it lacked intelligence, its moves were rigid, and it could only imitate without adapting.

"Found it." Han Mu deliberately exposed an opening, and the mirror image fell for it as expected, attacking the opening with all its might. Han Mu seized the opportunity to counterattack, piercing the mirror image's heart with a sword.

The mirror image dissipated, transforming into a wisp of the essence of time that merged into Han Mu's body, deepening Han Mu's understanding of the laws of time.

"First level passed, second level begins." The aged voice rang out again, and Han Mu stepped out from the second mirror. This time, the mirror image's strength had increased to the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, and its time law was also stronger.

Han Mu's expression was solemn. The mirror image of a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal was not easy to deal with, but he did not back down and faced the challenge again.

The second layer of the mirror image was much stronger than the first. Han Mu was caught in a fierce battle and suffered several wounds. In the end, he narrowly won by relying on the power of the Demon God's Heart and obtained the second wisp of the Time Origin.

"The third level." Han Mu stepped out from the third mirror. This time, the mirror image's strength reached the Great Perfection of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, only one step away from becoming an Immortal Emperor.

Han Mu smiled wryly. The difficulty level was increasing too quickly. The third level was the Great Perfection of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, and the ninth level would be the Immortal Emperor.

"I'll fight to the death." Han Mu gritted his teeth and prepared for battle. This battle was even more difficult. Han Mu was suppressed and had almost no power to fight back. He could only defend passively.

"This won't do, I must break through." Han Mu comprehended the origin of time during the battle, and his understanding of the laws of time deepened. The laws of time began to transform, moving from perfection to a higher level.

"Time acceleration, time deceleration, time stop, time reversal—the four realms of the law of time. I've only mastered the first three; I've never been able to master time reversal. Perhaps this time I can break through." Han Mu hovered on the edge of life and death, his understanding of the law of time growing ever deeper.

Finally, just as the mirror image was about to kill Han Mu, Han Mu had a sudden inspiration and comprehended the ability to reverse time.

"Time reversal." Han Mu shouted, and time around him began to reverse. The mirror image's movements went backward, returning to the state before the attack.

"Now!" Han Mu unleashed a sword strike, the sword light containing the power of time reversal flashing past, the mirror image not having time to react before being annihilated by the sword.

Having passed the third level, Han Mu obtained the third wisp of the Origin of Time, broke through the Law of Time, stepped from Perfection into a new level, mastered the reversal of time, and his strength increased to the late-stage peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, only one step away from the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

"The fourth level." Han Mu stepped out from the fourth mirror, this time his strength had reached the early stage of Immortal Emperor.

Han Mu's expression changed drastically. "Immortal Emperor, how can we fight like this?"

"Challenger, the fourth level begins." An aged voice rang out, and the mirror image made its move. The pressure of the Immortal Emperor enveloped Han Mu, making it difficult for Han Mu to even move.

"Am I going to die here?" Han Mu was unwilling, but the difference in strength was too great, and he was simply unable to resist.

Just when Han Mu was in despair, the Demon God's Heart within his body suddenly throbbed, unleashing a powerful force. Han Mu's aura surged instantly, breaking through to the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. His Time Law broke through once again, and he became even more proficient at time reversal.

"Kill!" Han Mu roared, unleashing a sword strike imbued with the power of time reversal and the power of a demon god, which actually blocked the mirror image's attack.

"Interesting, you actually broke through at the last minute, but it's still not enough." The mirror image sneered and attacked again, this time with all its might.

Han Mu gritted his teeth and endured the attack. The two clashed, shattering the space around them. Han Mu was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He was seriously injured, but the mirror image was also knocked back, its aura unstable.

"Time reversal, injuries healed." Han Mu used Time Reversal, and his injuries healed rapidly, but the consumption was enormous, and the time law was almost exhausted.

"We can't delay any longer; we must finish this quickly." Han Mu used time acceleration to rush to the mirror image and thrust out his sword. The mirror image also thrust out its sword, and the two exchanged injuries.

Han Mu's sword pierced the mirror image's heart, and the mirror image's sword also pierced Han Mu's heart; both of them fell to the ground simultaneously.

Han Mu used his last strength to reverse time and heal his heart wound, but the injury was too severe, the time law was exhausted, and he was powerless to fight again.

The mirror image dissipated, transforming into the fourth wisp of the essence of time and merging into Han Mu's body. Han Mu's injuries recovered somewhat, but he was still weak.

"Fourth level passed, fifth level begins." The aged voice rang out again, and Han Mu stepped out from the fifth mirror. This time, the mirror image's strength reached the mid-stage of Immortal Emperor.

Han Mu smiled bitterly. How could he fight like this? He didn't even have the strength to stand up.

"Am I going to die here?" Han Mu was unwilling, but powerless to do anything about it.

"My lord, come out quickly! The cave has been attacked!" Zhou Meng's voice came from outside, filled with anxiety.

Han Mu's heart stirred, and the token flashed with golden light, teleporting him out of the Time Mirror space and back to his cave.

"My lord, you've finally come out. Shi Yu and his men have come to attack." Zhou Meng said hurriedly when he saw Han Mu.

Han Mu's face darkened. Shi Yu had arrived swiftly.
