The original name of the Formless True Axis Scripture was the Mantra Axis Scripture.
According to the introduction, the Formless True Axis Scripture was split up into a total of three levels, and full mastery of the cultivation art could allow one to attain an ability called the Mantra Treasured Axis. When facing enemies in battle, this ability would allow one to slow down all attacks that came near the Mantra Treasured Axis, thereby robbing opponents of any speed advantage.
The nature of the ability didn’t change from level one to level three of the cultivation art. Instead, it would still grant one the same ability, but to an increasing extent of potency.
Apparently, mastery of the first level of the cultivation art could allow one to unleash a Mantra Treasured Axis that roughly halved the opponent’s speed. Mastery of the second level would allow one to reduce an opponent’s speed by 90%, and as for mastery of the third level, the effect wasn’t outlined, but it presumably would’ve made the ability even more astonishingly potent.
The second level of the Mantra Axis Scripture has a secret technique known as the Eye of Truth, which apparently granted anyone that mastered it the ability to see through all illusions. It is able to reveal the past forms of items that contain the power of time. However, in order to cultivate this secret technique, one had to have already attained at least 12 Time Dao Runes on their Mantra Treasured Axis.
The third level of the cultivation art was an ability called the Reversal True Axis, and this was an ability that had the completely opposite effect to the Mantra Treasured Axis, accelerating the flow of time rather than slowing it down. However, this ability only applied to its user. According to the description of the ability, it required one to keep the Mantra Treasured Axis in their body and reverse it, thereby accelerating the flow of time for them and enhancing their speed. There was a prerequisite to cultivating this ability as well, which was that one had to have manifested at least 18 Time Dao Runes on their Mantra Treasured Axis, and it had nothing to do with which level of the Mantra Treasured Axis that one had progressed to.
It is later revealed that there are 9 levels to this art and Dao Lord Baili Yan and Hu Yan of the Blaze Dragon Dao had 6 levels of it.
Apparently, due to the fact that those who had already mastered the first three levels of the Mantra Axis Scripture had already accumulated a great deal of time law power in their body, once they began cultivating the fourth level, they would be able to actively manifest time law threads. As for how many time law threads one could attain, that was dependent on how much time law power one had accumulated and how deep their understanding of the laws of time was.
Han Li was able to get 2 Time Dao Runes for every immortal acupoint he opened. He was able to increase their number even more by relying on the Mysterious Small Bottle.
