While Su Yuan was comprehending the laws, he sent out a trace of consciousness to check the system panel.
Demonic Origin Realm:
[ Ding, Fame +58 ]
[ Ding, Fame +17 ]
[ Ding, Fame +14 ]
[ Ding, Fame +13 ]
Immortal Origin Realm:
[ Ding, Fame +152 ]
[ Ding, Fame +1520 ]
[ Ding, Fame +15200 ]
The highlight color of the entry "Responding to Crisis" changed from red to green.
[ Ding, Lifespan +11.7 million years ]
Having resolved the crisis caused by the Golden Immortal, his lifespan suddenly increased by 10 million years!
His life form underwent another astonishing upgrade.
Patterns of laws appeared inside Su Yuan’s bones, connecting with each other to form mysterious diagrams.
Fresh blood began to replace the old blood, and his human bloodline once again experienced a fundamental leap. The potential of his bloodline was now comparable to that of dragons, even surpassing ordinary dragons!
True dragons only reach the True Immortal stage upon maturity, but Su Yuan’s bloodline potential could easily grow to the Xuan Immortal level.
However, this was just potential. If Su Yuan did not diligently cultivate, it would still take a million years to fully awaken his bloodline potential.
At the same time,
Entry 9, "Worldly Heart Refinement," flashed brightly.
Su Yuan’s spiritual realm suddenly increased by two great stages, leaping from the Initial Integration stage to the Great Ascension Realm.
The spiritual realm cultivation was the hardest to improve. Su Yuan had long stayed in his cave dwelling, and this spiritual barrier was originally an unavoidable hurdle for him. But the "Worldly Heart Refinement" entry gave him the greatest confidence.
Improving the spiritual realm allowed Su Yuan to raise his cultivation level more smoothly without fearing rapid advancement that might cause him to lose his true self or fall into demonic deviation.
Finally, Su Yuan glanced over the system panel.
[ Name ]: Su Yuan
[ Region ]: Immortal Origin Realm
[ Level ]: Widely Renowned (16,957/100,000)
[ Region ]: Demonic Origin Realm
[ Level ]: Somewhat Famous (160/1,000)
[ Realm ]: Early Integration Stage (20/100) / Early Human Immortal (2/100)
[ Entry 1 ]: Balanced Rest and Work lv7 (102,180/1,000,000): Accumulated Rest Time: 20 days (modifiable)
[ Entry 2 ]: Daoist Techniques Naturally lv6 (20,009/100,000) (modifiable)
[ Entry 3 ]: Seven Stars Shine Bright lv6 (11,711/100,000) (modifiable)
[ Entry 4 ]: Mind Echo lv5 (3,334/10,000)
[ Entry 5 ]: Great Being’s Demeanor lv4 (830/1,000)
[ Entry 6 ]: Responding to Crisis lv4 (139/1,000): Lifespan: 12,900,119 years
[ Entry 7 ]: World Traveler lv3 (15/100)
[ Entry 8 ]: Corridor of Time lv2 (3/10)
[ Entry 9 ]: Worldly Heart Refinement lv2 (2/10)
The fame points on the system panel came from cultivators in the Demonic Realm and the Hidden Star Immortal Lord.
The eight Demonic Realm cultivators contributed over a hundred fame points in total, raising his fame rank in the Demonic Realm once and granting him another chance to modify the "Balanced Rest and Work" entry.
Although the Hidden Star Immortal Lord was alone, he contributed multiple fame increments, causing Su Yuan’s fame level in the Immortal Origin Realm to rise twice. This granted modification opportunities for the "Daoist Techniques Naturally" and "Seven Stars Shine Bright" entries as well.
Thus, three entry modification opportunities arrived effortlessly!
Su Yuan immediately opened the descriptions of his entries.
"Balanced Rest and Work": You are adept at balancing rest and work. The longer the rest time, the better the cultivation effect. Accumulated rest time: 20 days!
"Daoist Techniques Naturally": You excel at comprehending nature. It is easier to perceive the Dao from the mysteries of heaven and earth.
"Seven Stars Shine Bright": You have a profound connection with the Big Dipper constellation, granting many wonderful uses.
Su Yuan fell into deep thought.
He attempted to drastically modify the descriptions but failed as expected.
After dozens of tries, he finally settled on the changes.
He inserted a word into "the longer the rest time," making it "the longer the rest or cultivation time."
In the second entry, after "mysteries of heaven and earth," he added "Daoist classics."
In the third entry, he added the modifier "extremely."
The final results were:
"Balanced Rest and Work": You are adept at balancing rest and work. The longer the rest or cultivation time, the better the cultivation effect. Accumulated rest time: 20 days!
"Daoist Techniques Naturally": You excel at comprehending nature. It is easier to perceive the Dao from the mysteries of heaven and earth and the Daoist classics.
"Seven Stars Shine Bright": You have an extremely profound connection with the Big Dipper constellation, granting many wonderful uses.
At the moment the entries were successfully modified,
Su Yuan, still comprehending the laws, immediately felt his comprehension multiply by more than ten times!
Although this multiplier was not as high as when he actively triggered "Balanced Rest and Work" multiple times, this bonus could be extended indefinitely. Moreover, as cultivation time increased, the effect continued to slowly improve!
At the same time, when reading the Hidden Star Golden Immortal’s law tome, which had previously seemed obscure, it now appeared many times easier, and the new effect of "Daoist Techniques Naturally" was in full play!
Though the added modifier in the "Seven Stars Shine Bright" entry seemed minor, its effect was equally astonishing!
At this moment, Su Yuan no longer needed to rely on the Seven-Star Magic Altar to clearly sense the Big Dipper and could easily draw on some of its power!
Under his stimulation, the star energy descended from the Big Dipper instantly increased by a hundredfold!
The enhancement of the three entries doubled Su Yuan’s cultivation efficiency.
Su Yuan’s main body immediately immersed itself into the deepest layer of cultivation!
His second Nascent Soul was responsible for handling affairs of the Seven Stars Sect and vigilantly monitoring the surroundings. Should any change occur, it would immediately summon the main body to escape, while continuously reading the Dragon Clan’s classic inheritances.
Though the second Nascent Soul carried Su Yuan’s soul, many entry effects could not be perfectly manifested, such as the lifespan increase from "Responding to Crisis," which only affected the main body.
The cultivation effect bonus was the same.
This also showed that the system’s core seemed bound to Su Yuan’s main body.
Time flew by.
Half a year later, his cultivation efficiency had risen to 128 times!
Although it did not improve further, this was already astonishing.
His entry modifications had been extremely successful.
He continued cultivating, and with a 128-fold effect, cultivation was as effortless as eating and drinking.
One day of his cultivation equaled one year for others!
After just one more year, he comprehended 9,000 new strands of star laws!
But it took a full nine years before he comprehended 11,000 strands of star laws.
The later the star laws, the harder they were to comprehend!
After comprehending 20,000 strands of new star laws, he began to explore the origin of the laws.
Previously, he had comprehended nine types of star law essences, including destruction, melting, radiance, burning, and speed.
These were relatively shallow law essences.
Later law essences were certainly more complex and mysterious. Relying on luck alone, even with a 128-fold cultivation effect, comprehension would be extremely difficult.
Fortunately, Su Yuan had the Dragon Clan’s inheritance to guide him, giving him a certain understanding of the 118 types of star law origins, allowing him to follow the general framework for comprehension.
Only one year later, Su Yuan comprehended the tenth star law origin!
Three years later, the eleventh law origin!
Ten years later, he completed the twelfth law origin!
At this point, Su Yuan felt that the difficulty of cultivation increased exponentially.
But just as he planned to push forward,
He suddenly realized that his cultivation realm had unknowingly reached the peak of the Great Ascension Realm!
This was the cultivation realm of his main body and had caught up with the second Nascent Soul’s progress over 25 years.
With a thought, Su Yuan casually chose to break through!
Having obtained thousands of high-grade immortal stones from the Hidden Star Immortal Lord, he already met the requirements to break through to Human Immortal.
Su Yuan’s body absorbed the colorful immortal energy that overflowed from the high-grade immortal stones, integrating it within.
His flesh, Nascent Soul, and magical power all underwent fundamental transformations nourished by the immortal energy.
Under the tempering of immortal energy, the three—flesh, Nascent Soul, and magical power—could merge into one, becoming immortal body and immortal power, or disperse back into three separate entities.
Gathering and dispersing depended on his will;the immortal body formed naturally!
“I never expected that without noticing, I have already become an immortal!”
Su Yuan felt no waves in his heart. For him, becoming immortal was extremely simple. He had no shortcomings and had not encountered any bottlenecks during cultivation;becoming immortal was only natural.
The human immortal lifespan could reach 320,000 years, which was only a slight increase for Su Yuan.
But at that moment,
A massive unknown power pulled Su Yuan’s consciousness, rapidly soaring upward.
Before Su Yuan could react,
His consciousness arrived on a starry, radiant road.
This strand of his consciousness transformed into a blurry figure, gathering on the starry path.
Su Yuan looked forward and backward in confusion, then saw other blurry figures standing on the starry road.
These figures stood still, occasionally taking a step forward but mostly remaining stationary.
Feeling doubtful, Su Yuan sent part of his consciousness to the Dragon Clan’s Myriad Books Sea to search for information.
After a while, he understood what was happening.
The road where his consciousness stood was a projection of the Starry Dao Road.
Those blurry figures were cultivators who had stepped onto the Starry Dao Road.
The minimum entry requirement here was comprehension of at least one star law origin by an Immortal Realm cultivator.
While observing the surrounding cultivators, some blurry figures nearby cast glances at him.
“Oh? Another newcomer appeared?”
“A humanoid? Which clan does this cultivator belong to?”
“There have been quite a few newcomers lately. The immortal-demon war sure is training people!”
The surrounding cultivators chatted casually.
Su Yuan understood immediately.
These figures were also cultivator projections.
Everyone on this Starry Dao Road cultivated based on the star law origins.
Looking ahead, Su Yuan saw a road made of gathered starlight spiraling forward and upward, eventually resembling a winding mountain path.
Further ahead, the figures vanished into the starlight, invisible to him. What he could see were hundreds of cultivator projections ahead.
One cultivator projection standing before Su Yuan smiled and said, “My codename is 'Narrow Sky.' What about yours?”
Su Yuan replied casually, “My codename is 996!”
“So you are the Daoist 996. Do you know where this place is?” Narrow Sky asked.
“Oh? I don’t know where this place is,” Su Yuan answered calmly.
Narrow Sky nodded. “It seems you don’t know. Let me explain!”
Su Yuan smiled wryly, thinking this guy was a bit of a teacher.
“This place is the origin of the Starry Dao Road. All cultivators who cultivate the Starry Dao, as long as they comprehend one star law origin, can project themselves here! Then, with every increment in Starry Dao comprehension, cultivators can advance one step on this road!”
Narrow Sky sighed, “This is the best place to test your cultivation achievements.”
Su Yuan suddenly understood, “I see!”
Looking at Narrow Sky, who had only taken thirty steps ahead, Su Yuan said, “It seems you also haven’t been here long.”
Narrow Sky chuckled, “Do you think my progress is small just because I’m only thirty steps ahead? Wrong, very wrong! Here, every step requires a huge amount of time and effort to comprehend. On average, newcomers take 700 years per step, but I only took 30 years for these thirty steps!”
Su Yuan nodded in realization, cupping his hands, “Daoist Narrow Sky, you truly are a genius!”
Narrow Sky waved his hand, “No big deal, no big deal! Hahaha!”
He laughed heartily, then said, “This place is great. It blocks deductions, so I can fully showcase my talents! These years have been suffocating. A genius like me, protected and suppressed, never got a chance to show off. It’s so miserable!”
Su Yuan twitched at the corner of his mouth, “Daoist, aren’t you afraid of getting beaten?”
“Hahaha, why be afraid? Here we are only projections. Though battles can happen here, death only costs a little magical power. We can re-form our consciousness and project again. I even look forward to someone hitting me;it’s a chance to train my combat skills!”
Narrow Sky’s tone was filled with absolute confidence!
“You seem strong?” Su Yuan asked.
“Hehe, want to spar with me?” Narrow Sky laughed, “I don’t want to bully a newcomer like you, but losing once is good training for newbies!”
Before Su Yuan could answer, a projection farther away spoke up, “Narrow Sky, it’s embarrassing to challenge a newcomer who just arrived. How about you fight me instead!”
Narrow Sky sneered, “Snowflake, you’re almost 300 steps ahead of me. Only then can you challenge me? I’m only thirty steps ahead of this newbie;the gap isn’t that big!”
“Haha, Narrow Sky, are you scared? You call yourself a genius, so why don’t you use your exquisite law application and supreme divine powers to defeat me beyond your level? You’re just bragging!” Snowflake mocked.
“Hmph, if my divine powers didn’t expose my identity, I would have beaten you long ago!” Narrow Sky retorted defiantly.
Su Yuan listened thoughtfully.
Narrow Sky then turned to Su Yuan, “So? Want to fight? Death here is nothing! Fighting quickly reveals your weaknesses, and I can give you some pointers.”
“But I warn you, don’t reveal signature divine powers or other methods. My elders say this is the origin place of the Dao, and we are all competitors. We might contend in the future. Revealing your identity prematurely might make you regret it after trillions of years.”
Su Yuan nodded dumbfounded, “You’re a good person!”
“Bah! Bah! That’s a curse! Good people don’t live long!”
Narrow Sky said casually, “I just think you guys won’t be my competitors. I want to help you all so I can still be seen in the future!”
The surrounding cultivators were indifferent.
Although Narrow Sky played the role of a fresh genius, no one really believed him.
Su Yuan spoke, “I see. Actually, I’m also a super genius from a powerful faction. My sect has at least three great beings! I want to see how my genius compares with Daoist Narrow Sky.”
“Oh? You’re so honest? Don’t tell me you’re bluffing,” Narrow Sky laughed, “Then show me what you’ve got!”
The moment they agreed to the fight, their projections rose from the ground, floating above the Dao Road.
The space between them seemed to expand out of nowhere, stretching the original thirty-step gap to three million miles!
Su Yuan felt inside his body and found no magical power. Instead, twelve law origins formed law scripts within him.
He tried activating the law scripts, and the nearby starlight responded, forming a defensive starlight shield around his body.
“Hehe, got it? Here you can use star laws and their origins to perform techniques. This place tests law comprehension and application. Bloodline, physical cultivation, and Nascent Soul cultivation don’t matter much here!” Narrow Sky explained lightly.
“You go first. Once I attack, you won’t get a chance!”
Narrow Sky stood with hands behind his back, exuding the demeanor of a strong cultivator.
Su Yuan nodded, “Then I shall respectfully comply!”
The cultivators standing on the origin Dao Road paid little attention to the fight above. To them, Narrow Sky would definitely win, not only because his law comprehension was deeper but also due to his skillful law application. They also believed he came from a major faction.
Only a few idlers watched, including the cultivator named Snowflake.
Su Yuan summoned his law origins, connecting with the surrounding starlight, and condensed a flying sword before him!
“Go!”
Su Yuan casually pointed, and the star sword formed by starlight shot out at lightning speed, crossing more than half the battlefield in an instant, aiming straight at Narrow Sky’s forehead.
Narrow Sky remained extremely calm. Using his law comprehension, he condensed hundreds of star fragments around him, combining them into a star formation. The formation crystallized into a starry fortress, instantly increasing his defense dozens of times!
Su Yuan’s eyes brightened, “What profound formation mastery.”
Narrow Sky smirked.
However, at that moment, the star sword reached the edge of the formation.
When its tip touched the fortress, a razor-sharp force instantly exploded.
“Wait!” Narrow Sky was startled.
The star light flashed and passed through the fortress’s defense, instantly striking Narrow Sky’s body.
But the body immediately dissipated into starlight, evading the attack.
Narrow Sky’s projection appeared further away.
“A bit of east—”
Before he could finish, a star light longsword pierced through his back and chest.
Narrow Sky’s projection instantly lost its lively expression.
The entire projection fell to the ground like a stone.
Then, like a statue, it stood motionless. This was because Narrow Sky’s consciousness had been temporarily dispersed during the fight and had exited the Starry Dao origin place.
However, his projection would not disappear unless his main body perished. He could re-enter consciousness and regain control at any time.
Su Yuan’s projection slowly descended and stood back at his original position.
“Narrow Sky lost!” Snowflake exclaimed in surprise.
Other cultivators nearby also looked over, showing astonishment.
Narrow Sky had portrayed himself as a genius from a major faction but was defeated by a newcomer. This was quite shocking!
“Oh, it seems a true genius has appeared! Narrow Sky was the fake meeting the real, exposed!”
“Who watched? The fight was a bit fast.”
Su Yuan’s expression was calm.
Suddenly, the previously stiff Narrow Sky projection regained liveliness.
Narrow Sky turned sharply toward Su Yuan, shocked, “Your move just now was off! You definitely comprehended more than one star law origin!”
Su Yuan did not explain but smiled. Though his face was blurry, the smile still looked cheeky.
Narrow Sky couldn’t help but say, “Try moving forward. As long as your law comprehension is sufficient, you can keep advancing!”
Su Yuan nodded, “Alright, thank you for your help, Daoist Narrow Sky. Hope to meet again!”
Narrow Sky was speechless, “You can’t just disappear from my sight like that! Here, I can see projections of the thousand cultivators ahead of me!”
Su Yuan waved calmly and began to step forward.
He felt no resistance.
Step by step, Su Yuan walked,
And in the blink of an eye, passed Narrow Sky.
Narrow Sky frowned. Seeing 996’s easy pace gave him a bad feeling.
