"Creation, creation!" Su Yuan played with the Myriad Treasures Heaven-Earth Cauldron in his hand, no longer regretting the loss of those eighteen Golden Immortal treasures and the Taiyi-grade treasure Black Feather.
This was a low-grade acquired spiritual treasure containing the Laws of Creation!
Su Yuan's divine sense probed into the Myriad Treasures Heaven-Earth Cauldron, and his initially delighted expression slightly froze. "Where are the Laws of Creation? Why have they become the Laws of Materialization?" The corner of Su Yuan's mouth twitched.
He had thought it was the superior Laws of Creation, but the Myriad Treasures Heaven-Earth Cauldron gave him a small blow - this was actually just a branch of the Laws of Creation, the Laws of Materialization.
The Laws of Creation had two other branches: the Laws of Spirit Creation and the Laws of Transformation. All three branches were middle-tier laws, and comprehending any of them completely would make one a Taiyi Golden Immortal - nothing to scoff at.
The good news was that the Laws of Materialization within the Myriad Treasures Heaven-Earth Cauldron were complete! Thus, what appeared to be a low-grade acquired spiritual treasure was in essence already a Taiyi-level treasure.
With a thought from Su Yuan, the Myriad Treasures Heaven-Earth Cauldron flipped its opening under his control, releasing a powerful suction force that voraciously absorbed the surrounding Great Sun True Flames.
The Nine Suns Spirit Devouring Array seemed to sense the consumption of the Great Sun True Flames and began activating its defensive mechanisms - but Su Yuan suppressed the array's operation.
Vast amounts of Great Sun True Flames entered the Myriad Treasures Heaven-Earth Cauldron, where they were refined and converted for its own use.
After devouring for several hours, Old Qian finally said, "Enough! We've absorbed sufficient amounts. I can now produce Great Sun True Flames on my own, and their grade can reach Taiyi Golden Immortal level!"
Hearing this, Su Yuan laughed heartily: "Excellent, excellent!" Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs N0velFire.ɴet
Previously, controlling the Nine Suns Spirit Devouring Array for artifact forging was extremely difficult. Now, using the Myriad Treasures Heaven-Earth Cauldron would be much easier! Combined with the bonus from the Laws of Materialization, his artifact forging efficiency would definitely improve significantly. He might even be able to forge Taiyi Golden Immortal level treasures!
Su Yuan immediately searched the storage space within the Myriad Treasures Heaven-Earth Cauldron for materials to test forging. However, when he opened the space, it was completely empty.
"Where are the items?" Su Yuan was stunned.
Old Qian coughed awkwardly: "When I just broke through to low-grade acquired spiritual treasure, I felt somewhat lacking in foundation, so I had to refine all the treasures in the treasury!"
Su Yuan inhaled sharply: "You glutton!"
"Master, it's alright! Although I consumed everything, I can now use primordial spiritual energy to transform materials above Golden Immortal level. I can gradually produce these materials, turning limited resources into sustainable ones!" Old Qian quickly defended himself.
Hearing this, Su Yuan glanced at the five mid-grade acquired spiritual treasures in his dantian and inexplicably sighed in relief. Fortunately, he had placed those treasures in his dantian for refinement - if they had been in Old Qian's space, they might have been refined too.
It wasn't that he couldn't bear to part with the treasures, but he disliked Old Qian acting on his own authority. So Su Yuan immediately confined Old Qian to the core of the Myriad Treasures Heaven-Earth Cauldron for some solitary reflection.
Putting away the cauldron, Su Yuan stepped out and arrived at the Seven Stars Market. With calm demeanor, he entered the Seven Stars Pagoda.
Song Cai, seeing Su Yuan, was startled and immediately approached to bow respectfully. Su Yuan waved his hand, and Song Cai understood, leading him to a VIP room.
Some customers were surprised by Song Cai's behavior - as the manager of Seven Stars Market, his status wasn't low, and he rarely personally attended to customers anymore. Anyone receiving his personal attention must be highly important.
In the VIP room, Song Cai bowed deeply: "Greetings, Patriarch!"
Su Yuan nodded and asked: "How's business lately?"
Song Cai smiled: "Since the Feipeng Legion and Feilian Legion started selling many special products from the Immortal and Demon Realms in the Seven Stars Pagoda, our business has flourished! Many cultivators come specifically for these items, quadrupling our trading volume."
Su Yuan understood - products from one realm were highly attractive to the other. In a way, the Seven Stars Market functioned as a black market!
"How many Golden Immortal customers have you encountered?" Su Yuan asked.
"There have been some Golden Immortals recently, though most come in avatar form. Due to the Immortal-Demon war, it's difficult for Golden Immortals from both sides to manifest their true bodies," Song Cai replied.
"You must have a list?" Su Yuan inquired.
"Yes, Patriarch!" Song Cai immediately produced a list.
After glancing through it, Su Yuan nodded: "Good. I've decided to host a Golden Immortal trading conference. Invite these Golden Immortals to come to Seven Stars Market in ten years. Also, during this time, promote my two identities - as a Golden Immortal peak-level artifact forger and alchemist."
Song Cai nodded: "Understood, Patriarch. I'll make arrangements." He hesitated: "But is it appropriate for me to invite them? I'm only at Celestial Immortal level."
Recently, Song Cai had earned enough merits to exchange for a Celestial Immortal-level Heaven-Earth Divine Seat.
Seeing this, Su Yuan casually waved his hand. Song Cai's aura suddenly surged - from Celestial Immortal, through True Immortal and Xuan Immortal, directly to early Golden Immortal stage!
Su Yuan felt about one percent of his origin energy being borrowed by Song Cai. This showed that Su Yuan's energy reserves were a hundred times that of peers at his level!
"Now you're qualified to invite them," Su Yuan said. "This is an advance reward - you'll deduct the merits later."
"Many thanks for your generosity, Patriarch!" Song Cai said joyfully. Even though he'd need to repay with merits, a Golden Immortal's ability to earn merits was incomparable to a Celestial Immortal's - this was already tremendous favor!
As Song Cai hurried off to handle matters, Su Yuan checked on the Seven Stars Sect's development - and was surprised.
The disciples' progress was much faster than expected! For example, his former batchmates like Ye Bufan and Liu Muwan had already reached the Void Refining stage - an unusually rapid advancement!
Su Yuan immediately investigated and soon understood: "So they discovered a mortal world with abnormal time flow!"
It turned out Seven Stars disciples had found a mortal world where time flowed a hundred times faster than elsewhere - one day in the Seven Stars Realm equaled a hundred days there. Though the world was barren and resource-scarce, time itself was a precious resource!
For Seven Stars disciples who lacked neither resources nor techniques, time was their only constraint. Many had gone to this "Time Chaos Realm" to cultivate in seclusion. In just months, their strength had improved dramatically!
Unfortunately, as a mortal world, Immortals couldn't cultivate there, and many had hit bottlenecks in their secluded cultivation.
After some thought, Su Yuan sent a message to Gu Qingzhu: "I'll send an avatar to the Time Chaos Realm to lecture for a thousand years. Spread the word for disciples to attend."
Gu Qingzhu, still handling sect affairs as Seven Stars Sect's leader (now at Tribulation Transcendence stage), was overjoyed by the news.
Soon, countless Seven Stars disciples received the message and gathered at teleportation squares before vanishing to the Time Chaos Realm.
At the Seven Stars Sect's new base in Time Chaos Realm, disciples kept sitting down in a massive square - a hundred thousand, a million, ten million! When all were seated, their numbers reached 1.4 billion!
Gu You, sitting near the front, stared dumbfounded at the sea of disciples behind him: "When did our sect get so many members?!"
Beside him, a clone of Li Shan calmly said: "Naturally. After I joined, others from different worlds followed. Though entry requirements keep rising, a hundred disciples per world across ten million worlds makes a billion."
Gu You gulped: "Old Li, I feel my Tribulation Transcendence stage is too low now - I sense many Great Ascension Realm and above cultivators here."
"Your senses don't deceive you. Many Great Ascension Realm cultivators and even Human Immortals like me have joined. You're probably ranked outside the top hundred thousand now," Li Shan said.
Gu You sighed: "That's not the worst - the scripture repository's collections have increased hundreds-fold! I have an avatar constantly studying there until it's practically gone stupid from cultivation!"
Li Shan nodded sympathetically. As Backing Mountain Sect's founder, he'd deliberated long before joining Seven Stars Market as an internal member, only then learning it was backed by Seven Stars Sect. What shocked him most wasn't the Golden Immortal guardians, but the Floating Light Secret Realm's vast collection of texts available at prices just 1% of external members' costs - though contribution points became more precious with so much to learn!
But he understood the texts' importance, spending all his points on them. If he couldn't comprehend them, wasn't Patriarch Su's lecture the perfect opportunity?
Countless disciples eagerly awaited Su Yuan's arrival. Many had only heard of the Seven Stars Patriarch but never seen him - today they finally would!
Suddenly, a figure appeared above the disciples. Before anyone could clearly see Su Yuan's face, the heavens changed!
Black clouds gathered as purple-black lightning formed, coalescing into a heavenly eye made of law threads that locked onto Su Yuan.
Su Yuan looked up calmly: "Heavenly punishment? I'm just using an avatar."
Yet the heavenly eye remained fixed on him.
