Star Dust Daoist said with a serious expression: "I naturally understand the preciousness of these resources. Each one is worthy of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal experts fighting over, even risking life and death. Since the Dao Sovereign is willing to invest these resources in me, I will repay the Dao Sovereign a hundredfold! I swear upon my Dao heart that these words shall not be taken back, otherwise my cultivation will never advance another step! A fate worse than death!"
Su Yuan listened calmly to Star Dust Daoist's oath and finally nodded: "Good!"
With a wave of Su Yuan's hand, the items fell into Star Dust Daoist's possession.
This made Star Dust Daoist feel as if separated from the world by a lifetime, his mind shaken to the core. The value of each treasure surpassed all the wealth he had accumulated throughout his entire life. Was this the benefit of aligning with a major power? Then what had all his previous self-proclaimed freedom and ease been for?
However, he clearly understood that joining other forces wouldn't yield such enormous benefits. Even if they did, it would require paying unimaginable costs to obtain them. Nothing compared to how good it was now joining the Seven Stars Sect, receiving so many precious items immediately.
"Dao Sovereign, I'm confident that with these treasures, I can attempt to reach the Great Perfection realm of Hunyuan Golden Immortal!" Star Dust Daoist said excitedly.
Su Yuan shook his head and said: "No, I want you to try to break through to Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal!"
Star Dust Daoist looked at that wisp of Star Law Origin Essence and said: "It's possible, but the difficulty of breaking through is quite significant. The success rate might be less than one percent!"
Su Yuan smiled slightly: "Have you forgotten what I told you about the enlightenment method? I haven't used it on you yet!"
Star Dust Daoist was stunned.
This wasn't the so-called enlightenment method? But the leaves of the Primordial Enlightenment Tea were divine enlightenment objects!
"Alright, first refine these items, then I'll perform the enlightenment method on you!" Su Yuan said calmly.
"Good! Good!"
Star Dust Daoist no longer hesitated and immediately began refining treasures like the Three Lights Divine Water, Dragon Heart Fruit, and Soul Cleansing Grass. These could reshape his foundation, elevate it to an extremely perfected state, and remedy his past imperfections.
After refining several treasures, Star Dust Daoist felt his Dao heart become transparent and clear. The bottleneck that had stuck at the final six hundred steps naturally began to loosen.
He hadn't even started refining the Enlightenment Tea leaves yet.
He looked at Su Yuan.
Su Yuan nodded toward him.
Thus, Star Dust Daoist no longer hesitated and directly swallowed the Enlightenment Tea leaves.
There was no need to brew it;swallowing actually produced better effects. Brewing was only for sharing among multiple people, making it appear more elegant.
After swallowing the Enlightenment Tea leaves, Star Dust Daoist immediately fell into enlightenment and began comprehending the Star Laws.
His eyes fixed directly on the Star Law Origin Essence, not daring to refine it directly but instead comprehending the Star Laws through observation.
At this time, Su Yuan looked into Star Dust Daoist's body.
Su Yuan immediately activated 610 million years of rest time for him! And activated it eight times simultaneously.
Building upon Star Dust Daoist's refinement of the Enlightenment Tea and various resources, this boosted his cultivation effect by a hundred million times! The duration lasted only six years!
This effect was absolutely something the other party would rarely experience in his lifetime—his only opportunity to consume rest time in such manner.
Because the remaining 6.1 billion rest time was conveniently taken by Su Yuan, all entering Su Yuan's own pocket.
"This counts as a small interest for me!"
Su Yuan sighed. Having given out so many treasures, if he didn't recover some cost, he would feel the pain himself. Fortunately, he obtained a small interest—merely 6.1 billion years of rest time.
This could also be considered clearing Star Dust Daoist's worries. From now on, he would be a super cultivation maniac who had never rested—the purest kind.
Star Dust Daoist felt his comprehension suddenly soar to an unbelievable level. The law bottlenecks that had blocked his path before melted away like ice and snow. His law comprehension instantly advanced another step.
Then he immediately began comprehending the deeper layers of law origin.
The originally profound and incomprehensible law origin now seemed to open its embrace, becoming extremely simple. His comprehension became as easy as eating and drinking!
Moreover, the countless insights he had accumulated over innumerable years of comprehending Star Laws now flooded in like tidal waves. Correct insights were instantly integrated, wrong insights were instantly corrected, and countless Star Law comprehensions were organized, sorted, and clarified at this moment!
Su Yuan sat beside Star Dust Daoist, comprehensively sensing the changes in his cultivation.
He appeared to be protecting the path, but in reality, he was stealing knowledge!
A mental incarnation appeared in Star Dust Daoist's consciousness sea, comprehensively observing the other's surging star insights. For Su Yuan, this was also a form of harvest.
Su Yuan felt his own law comprehension beginning to surge as well. Countless unfamiliar insights automatically flowed into his heart, organizing themselves systematically.
He felt he had gained some comprehension outline for the subsequent ninety-nine steps of Star Laws.
This was the joy of stealing knowledge—he could directly experience Star Dust Daoist's law changes, thereby indirectly gaining similar benefits.
Unfortunately, this guy wasn't cultivating the Big Dipper lineage;otherwise, Star Dust Daoist's cultivation improvement could have provided more feedback to Su Yuan.
Time passed bit by bit.
Both Su Yuan's and Star Dust Daoist's Star Law comprehensions were rapidly improving.
And Star Dust Daoist's speed was even faster.
His lifetime accumulation of law insights was simply too vast.
At this moment, they all gushed forth simultaneously, completely unstoppable in their impact.
In just one year, he directly advanced three hundred sixty steps, leaving only two hundred forty steps from proving the Hunyuan Dao.
After another year, he advanced another two hundred twenty steps, leaving only twenty steps from complete perfection!
During this period, Su Yuan's law comprehension also smoothly advanced more than fifty steps, leaving only thirty-three steps from final perfection!
After another year, Star Dust Daoist finally reached the final step, stuck at the step of perfection.
And Su Yuan also smoothly advanced twenty-four steps, leaving only nine steps from perfection.
Star Dust Daoist suddenly opened his eyes and asked: "Dao Sovereign, if I break through to Hunyuan, will I be blocking your path?"
Su Yuan waved his hand: "Just break through without concern. This position of Law Sovereign means nothing to me!"
He naturally understood Star Dust Daoist's meaning.
Now that Star Dust Daoist's progress was faster, after breaking through to Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal, he would occupy the position of Star Law Sovereign, becoming the only Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal of Star Laws.
If this were before, Su Yuan would certainly care. But now, he had a Star Law Origin land within his own dantian and didn't need to become the Star Law Sovereign of the Immortal-Demon Realm Sea.
Su Yuan even deliberately avoided this—becoming a Law Sovereign of a specific Realm Sea would actually confine him to that Realm Sea. From Su Yuan's perspective, this counted as a form of self-limitation.
Therefore, he desperately wanted someone to occupy the Law Sovereign position first.
This was also why Su Yuan was willing to nurture Star Dust Daoist—to have him take this position first.
Hearing this, Star Dust Daoist felt at ease. He had thought Su Yuan still possessed Star Law Origin Essence, hence his indifference to the Star Law Sovereign position.
Since the Seven Stars Dao Sovereign was willing to bestow upon him a portion of Star Law Origin Essence, there was no reason he wouldn't have kept some for himself.
Star Dust Daoist continued comprehending the final step.
This single step stuck Star Dust Daoist for two full years.
This was under hundred-million-fold enhancement, where every moment was spent in enlightenment, yet it still took two years to take this final step.
Thus, Star Dust Daoist's law progress reached its endpoint!
His transformation simultaneously synchronized with the Star Law Origin land.
Purple Star Immortal Emperor witnessed Star Dust Daoist's astonishing transformation and was utterly dumbfounded.
He stared blankly at Su Yuan and Star Dust Daoist's astonishing progress, immediately realizing this was the result of Star Dust Daoist joining the Seven Stars Sect.
He knew that Su Yuan possessed mystical abilities that could induce enlightenment states, but wasn't Su Yuan under house arrest?
How did Star Dust Daoist receive Su Yuan's mystical enhancement?
Could it be...
Purple Star Daoist immediately realized that the Su Yuan under house arrest in the Celestial Court might not be his true body!
But how was this possible?
The one who went to capture Su Yuan was the mighty Yuan Shui Heavenly Venerable!
Only another mighty being could deceive a mighty being.
No, the other party was indeed a mighty being, just reincarnated. But perhaps he truly had some means to directly fool the mighty Yuan Shui Heavenly Venerable. Looking at Star Dust Daoist's progress speed, the enlightenment method previously displayed by the Seven Stars Dao Sovereign clearly had reservations.
Now Purple Star completely couldn't sit still. He asked Su Yuan: "Dao Sovereign, I wonder if there are still vacant positions within your esteemed force?"
Su Yuan glanced at him, assessing Purple Star's potential. He estimated the probability of breaking through to Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal was less than one in a hundred thousand. The other's foundation was far inferior to Star Dust Daoist's.
Moreover, the other was under Zhuyuan Great Emperor's command. He felt it better not to recruit him, mainly because Su Yuan felt somewhat guilty.
Because the benefits he had obtained from Zhuyuan Great Emperor were too enormous. That True Spirit Seed could be said to have recreated him, even allowing him to avoid some great calamity of destruction.
Therefore, he still owed Zhuyuan Great Emperor a significant karmic debt. Since Purple Star Emperor was Zhuyuan Great Emperor's subordinate, he better not recruit him. Anyway, Zhuyuan Great Emperor himself was already a member of the Seven Stars Market. Since Purple Star was his subordinate, didn't that equate to joining the Seven Stars Market?
Thus, Su Yuan shook his head at Purple Star: "No need. The Seven Stars Sect isn't planning to recruit anyone now. Maybe another time."
Hearing Su Yuan's response, Purple Star Immortal Emperor felt as if struck by lightning!
