Su Yuan furrowed his brows.

A surge of heavenly might unexpectedly rose from Su Yuan’s body, pushing back against the Heavenly Dao Eye above, causing the heavenly might within that eye to falter for a moment.

At the same time, centered on Su Yuan, a sea of purple lightning suddenly condensed into form. Countless thunderbolts roamed within the sea of lightning, the terrifying power of thunder already reaching the limit of this world!

The sea of lightning condensed by Su Yuan confronted the thunderclouds condensed by the Heavenly Dao, separated by half the void.

The brewing of the Heavenly Dao of the Time Chaos Realm came to an end. A terrifying thunderbolt filled with destructive intent descended from the sky, falling into Su Yuan’s sea of lightning.

The countless thunderbolts in the sea of lightning wrapped around this thunderbolt and quickly assimilated it, making it part of the sea of lightning.

With the Heavenly Dao descending one heavenly punishment thunderbolt after another,

Su Yuan’s sea of lightning absorbed them all without exception. Unknowingly, the power of the sea of lightning had already doubled.

The spatial fabric of the Time Chaos Realm was torn apart by the sea of lightning. Spatial cracks appeared out of nowhere, devouring the thunderbolts within the sea of lightning.

After continuing this attack for a while, Su Yuan remained unharmed, while the essence of the Time Chaos Realm’s origin steadily dissipated as the spatial cracks consumed it.

Su Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, making no move to counterattack, simply watching the Heavenly Dao continue to strike with thunder, curious how long this Heavenly Dao could last.

For a moment, the Heavenly Dao of the Time Chaos Realm seemed stunned and paused without continuing the attack.

The Heavenly Dao Eye fixed its gaze on Su Yuan.

This sudden change astonished the disciples below who were waiting to hear.

Su Yuan looked at the sky and said, “I borrow your precious land for a moment;
this is my gift of thanks!”

Su Yuan spread out his palm, and a golden orb rose, its details becoming clear.

The orb was composed of countless lines, each seeming to represent a thread of law. The countless lines intersected and crisscrossed, forming a complete network of laws, containing profound Dao and principles.

The Heavenly Dao Eye stared intently at the golden orb, no emotion showing in its eyes, but its actions revealed its need.

The golden orb continued rising until it merged into the Heavenly Dao Eye.

The Heavenly Dao blinked, countless secret law patterns flowing within it, and the space of the Time Chaos Realm mysteriously stabilized.

The spatial cracks that could previously tear open the void disappeared without a trace.

The Heavenly Dao Eye finally glanced at Su Yuan one last time, then slowly dissipated.

The thunderclouds vanished.

Su Yuan also dispersed his sea of lightning.

Gu You exclaimed, “The Heavenly Dao is powerless against the Patriarch and had to retreat!”

Li Shan said, “The Patriarch still understands worldly affairs and even gave the Heavenly Dao a gift.”

Gu You added, “The main reason is the Patriarch’s strength!”

Su Yuan withdrew his gaze from the Heavenly Dao.

He lowered his head and looked at the disciples below.

Fourteen hundred million disciples spread out densely, each sitting cross-legged, looking at him eagerly.

Su Yuan smiled faintly and softly said, “I am the Seven Stars Dao Sovereign, master of the Big Dipper in the starry sky, holder of the Seven Stars of the Spiritual Realm, using the Star Laws as the root of the Great Dao, with three thousand laws as supplementary cultivation, constructing the supreme path. I shall lecture on the Dao in the Time Chaos Realm three times, each lasting three hundred years. I hope you all will contemplate carefully.”

The fourteen hundred million people shouted in unison, “We thank the Patriarch for lecturing the Dao for us!”

Su Yuan nodded slightly and then formally began lecturing on the Dao.

Voices filled with the Dao’s rhythms and laws issued from Su Yuan’s mouth.

“The Star Laws contain one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred fundamental mysteries. Among them, the first fundamental mystery is ‘Radiance’…”

While Su Yuan lectured, the power around him began evolving laws, forming strands of law threads surrounding him, showing the most intuitive changes in law.

His lecture was simple and easy to understand, causing countless disciples to immerse themselves deeply.

The Heavenly Dao sensed Su Yuan’s lecture and perceived this action as beneficial to heaven and earth. The laws of heaven and earth fluctuated, and golden spiritual flowers appeared out of thin air beside Su Yuan, falling into the Dao platform below, absorbed by the disciples.

With the effect of the golden flowers, they all entered a deeper state of Dao comprehension, making Su Yuan’s teachings easier to understand.

Su Yuan smiled with satisfaction and continued to explain the profound mysteries of the Star Laws.

However.

Only three days passed.

A system panel notification caused Su Yuan to freeze in surprise.

[Ding, Entry 1 upgraded to max level lv9, automatically converted into innate Divine Ability]

Su Yuan stared at the system prompt in shock.

On the system panel, the original Entry 1 [Work-Life Balance] suddenly flickered and disappeared from the system panel!

At the same time, an extremely dense Dao script suddenly merged into Su Yuan’s soul, becoming an innate Divine Ability naturally belonging to his soul!

In an instant, Su Yuan felt a difference.

Previously, using the [Work-Life Balance] entry was a mechanical operation through the system panel, and many flexible controls were impossible.

But now that Su Yuan had transformed it into an innate Divine Ability, a series of realizations flooded his mind.

He seemed able to see a cluster of energy representing “rest time” slowly accumulating within his soul!

He clearly understood the basic operational logic of this Divine Ability.

He looked down at the fourteen hundred million disciples and was amazed to discover he could see a special energy representing “rest time” on each of them.

Su Yuan casually selected a disciple to test.

With his Divine Ability activated, that disciple’s own “rest time” began to burn rapidly!

Under the burning of this rest time, the disciple’s cultivation effect instantly increased tenfold!

When Su Yuan thought again, he stopped the disciple’s rest time from burning, and the disciple’s cultivation effect indeed dropped back to the original level.

But only part of the rest time was consumed;
the remaining portion mysteriously preserved most of the “rest time” energy.

This change was a metamorphosis!

He could not only help himself and others activate the work-life balance state but could also pause the effect of the entry at any time!

Thus, using the work-life balance innate Divine Ability became many times more convenient!

If any disciple’s cultivation hit a bottleneck, Su Yuan could temporarily activate the [Work-Life Balance] cultivation state for them, boosting their comprehension many times over, breaking the bottleneck, and raising their cultivation!

Such a change even surprised Su Yuan himself. He never expected that after upgrading the entry to lv9, it would have such a marvelous effect!

Having completely transformed it into his innate Divine Ability, the heart Su Yuan had been holding onto finally settled.

Now, even if the system panel disappeared, he was confident he could climb to the peak of the Great Dao using this innate Divine Ability!

This was the overwhelming power of the [Work-Life Balance] entry.

There was a drawback, though: using [Work-Life Balance] now required additional mana consumption and was no longer free to use from the panel.

But this was a minor issue.

Su Yuan’s thoughts shifted, and he immediately activated the [Work-Life Balance] Divine Ability. An invisible radiance spread across heaven and earth, and all fourteen hundred million disciples simultaneously entered the Dao comprehension state!

(Today’s remaining content is on leave, will be supplemented tomorrow)

When Su Yuan’s lecture began,

He immediately felt his comprehension skyrocketing.

Even though he had not yet activated the innate Divine Ability of [Work-Life Balance], he still enjoyed a similar effect!

This was the effect of the heteromorphic power of [Daoist Techniques Naturally].

[I Am Nature]: Manifest one’s Great Dao in heaven and earth;
the more beings who contemplate it, the stronger one becomes, and the higher the comprehension bonus.

The fourteen hundred million disciples collectively contemplated the Great Dao he spoke, feeding back a powerful comprehension bonus to him.

Though the bonus from a single person was negligible, the combined effect from fourteen hundred million was terrifying!

His comprehension increased ten thousandfold!

The effect of [Work-Life Balance] also activated simultaneously. The longer the cultivation time, the better the cultivation effect!

This effect could be enhanced to the lv9 limit of 512 times!

In other words, without using rest time, his comprehension bonus could rise to five million times!

Su Yuan immediately began contemplating the Star Laws, simultaneously lecturing and cultivating, multitasking without affecting either.

Above the firmament, the Big Dipper shone brightly, scattering abundant starlight.

All disciples no longer needed to worry about spiritual energy.

While contemplating the Star Laws, Su Yuan sensed his cultivation speed suddenly increase by half a step, and a flood of insights about the Star Laws burst forth in his mind. Although these insights were shallow, they provided fresh inspiration, some even breaking through his fixed thinking patterns, making comprehension much smoother.

He knew this was the effect of the heteromorphic power of [Seven Stars Shine Bright].

[Seven Stars United]: The Big Dipper guides all beings’ growth, and their progress accumulates upon you!

Though the current bonus was slight, once these beings improved their realms, the future potential would be immense.

His Star Laws still had six fundamental Star Law origins left to comprehend.

These remaining six were extremely difficult to understand, but with five million times comprehension bonus, succeeding in cultivation would not take too long.

Time passed like a fleeting horse, and soon ten years went by.

Su Yuan unexpectedly comprehended another Star Law origin!

The number of uncomprehended origins was down to five!

According to normal world time flow, only a month had passed outside!

Su Yuan pressed on. Thirty years later, he comprehended another law origin, bringing the total to one hundred fourteen law origins.

Sixty years later, the lecture time just reached one hundred years, and Su Yuan comprehended yet another law origin.

The number of Star Law origins rose to one hundred fifteen, leaving only three uncomprehended!

It felt like flying!

Su Yuan continued cultivating for another year but gradually felt the frequent flashes of inspiration in his mind diminish significantly.

He was puzzled and looked toward the disciples.

Many disciples wore confused expressions while listening to Su Yuan’s lecture.

Many of their cultivations were stuck at certain bottlenecks, unable to advance.

Su Yuan observed and found that many disciples’ “rest time” had already been exhausted.

Their comprehension could no longer be boosted, making breakthroughs much harder.

This was not the worst part. More importantly, Su Yuan discovered the reason these disciples were stuck was that their mental realm cultivation was lagging!

Take Gu You and the like: born with extraordinary talent and excellent law comprehension. After a hundred years of listening to lectures, his law cultivation had reached the Human Immortal level, but his cultivation remained stuck at the peak of the Tribulation Crossing Realm, unable to reach the Great Ascension Realm.

Originally, his mental cultivation was only at mid Tribulation Crossing, not even late Tribulation Crossing. Reaching the Tribulation Crossing peak was already the result of his outstanding talent.

But to break into the Great Ascension, this mental cultivation was insufficient. If he forced a breakthrough, it would cause inner fire madness and even loss of control of his mana, resulting in body explosion and death!

Many like Gu You existed, their law cultivation and mana cultivation higher than their mental cultivation, making further progress extremely difficult.

They did not have Su Yuan’s [Tempering Heart in Mortal Dust] entry, and most lacked the Heavenly Dao Divine Seat as support, only listening to the lectures in place, so their mental cultivation naturally could not improve.

Su Yuan realized the seriousness of this situation.

If this problem could not be resolved, this lecture would likely not last long.

He began pondering solutions.

To improve mental cultivation, one must undergo trials. Whether life’s baptism or life-and-death hardships, all could raise mental cultivation.

The easiest and fastest way for cultivators to improve mental cultivation was through battle, especially the moment of life-and-death, when mental cultivation often soars.

Thinking of this, Su Yuan considered creating an illusion realm for the disciples to experience trials.

But then he reconsidered. An illusion realm was no good. While it could quickly boost mental cultivation early on, it had a drawback: since no real death occurred, cultivators would slacken in facing life-and-death crises. Once cultivators became numb to danger, further improvement in mental cultivation became extremely difficult. The rightful source is novｅlfire.net

“This is troublesome. Should I split the disciples up for trials? That would be too inefficient!”

Su Yuan valued efficiency above all and would not do anything inefficient.

“If only there were a world to serve as an enemy for trials!” Su Yuan whispered to himself.

“Hm?”

As he muttered this, he suddenly recalled something.

His gaze locked onto the Ten Jue Wanderer.

The Ten Jue Wanderer was also listening to the lecture, present in spirit form. His true body still resided in the Seven Stars Realm, and his cultivation had improved greatly, reaching the early peak of the Human Immortal stage. His strength was increasing rapidly.

Su Yuan’s thoughts moved, and he lifted the mark left on the Ten Jue Wanderer’s body!

Tianheng Realm.

This was a top-tier Spiritual Realm.

Five Golden Immortal powerhouses existed within, the five Fruition-position Immortal Lords of Tianheng Realm!

Their Immortal Lord status was akin to “Heavenly Dao Sages,” capable of mobilizing certain Heavenly Dao privileges of Tianheng Realm, making them the supreme powers in Tianheng Realm.

Countless cultivators of Tianheng Realm longed to become one of these five Immortal Lords, as becoming an Immortal Lord meant “eternal life and immortality.”

But the Fruition positions in Tianheng Realm were limited. Five Golden Immortal Fruition positions were the maximum.

Thus, many cultivators in Tianheng Realm turned their attention to other Spiritual Realms.

Over countless years, cultivators in Tianheng Realm had found several small Spiritual Realms. After establishing unified powers within those realms, five cultivators had obtained Fruition positions there, becoming Immortal Golden Immortals, inspiring more cultivators to covet the new Spiritual Realms.

One day, among the five Immortal Lords, an Elder Xuan Immortal of the Feitian Sect, the sect belonging to the Eastern Town Sea Immortal Lord, seemed to sense something and immediately began calculations with finger counting.

He connected unknowingly with a mark he left behind at some point.

Surprise lit his eyes: “Someone left Tianheng Realm and actually broke through to the Human Immortal realm! Could it be they found a brand new Spiritual Realm?”

Quickly, he deduced more information and recalled who left the mark.

“That seems to be the cultivator I casually marked ten thousand years ago, previously crossing over from a mortal realm.”

He immediately stood and took the light of escape, heading to the sect teleportation array to begin teleporting.

After dozens of teleports and traveling tens of thousands of miles, he finally arrived at the sect the Ten Jue Wanderer once established.

The sect was long deserted!

He had anticipated this. He took a few steps, crossing thousands of miles, arriving at an inconspicuous spot and found a spatial entrance.

He could not enter directly. If the upper limit of this Spiritual Realm was low, he, as a Xuan Immortal, would be courting death.

He expected this.

With a wave of his hand, he summoned three Human Immortals from his Celestial Artifact.

He said, “You three go check out the conditions of the world on the other side!”

The three Human Immortals respectfully replied, “Obeying Lord Demon Scorpion’s order!”

They jumped into the spatial entrance and vanished.

Seven Stars Realm.

A spatial crack tore open.

Three Human Immortal cultivators emerged.

They were cloaked in defensive barriers to prevent sudden attacks.

No attacks appeared as expected, and the three Human Immortals relaxed.

They immediately sent out divine senses to investigate the surroundings.

This was a small valley, looking extremely desolate.

However, they were shocked!

They sensed thick innate spiritual energy in the world!

Such density was a treasure spot even in their realm, envied even by Earth Immortals. Yet here, it was desolate with only some low-level beasts surviving, the strongest only seventh rank!

“This world is actually so rich?”

“A good place. From now on, we come here to cultivate;
cultivation speed will increase several times!”

One couldn’t help but inhale sharply, eyes filled with strong greed.

A good place!

Truly a good place!

“We’ll finish investigating the intelligence here quickly and report to Elder Demon Scorpion!”

“If Elder Demon Scorpion wants to conquer this Spiritual Realm in the future, gaining the credit will surely skyrocket our status!”

One Human Immortal thought excitedly.

“Alright, we split up and investigate separately!”

The three departed to explore.

One headed toward the Seven Stars Sect direction. He found the innate spiritual energy concentration kept increasing in that direction.

When arriving at a certain territory, the spiritual energy density already surpassed some cultivation holy grounds of Feitian Sect!

He flew to a high place and looked toward that direction, seeing a gigantic river of star light descending from the sky, like a heavenly river pouring into that place!

“Whoa, such massive star power! The star power concentration there must be comparable to a ninth-level blessed land, even exceeding it!”

He took a deep breath, no longer hesitating, recording everything he had investigated, then returned to the spatial crack and vanished quickly.

The other two arrived in succession, also flying into the space passage and returning to Tianheng Realm.

After the three disappeared, Su Yuan’s second Nascent Soul appeared out of thin air.

With a wave of his hand, the spatial crack suddenly expanded into a spatial portal.

He entered it and arrived outside the portal, facing a stable space passage that should lead to the Spiritual Realm where the Ten Jue Wanderer and several Founding Patriarchs had previously gone.

Su Yuan did not enter that Spiritual Realm but activated the Heavenly Dao Authority of [Seven Stars Supreme].

Streams of Heavenly Dao essence poured into this spatial passage, and the originally narrow passage began to expand and reinforce, gradually transforming into a secret realm!

Various terrains were forming!

Deserts, stone forests, swamps, forests, lakes, and more were all present.

Heavenly Dao power appeared in heaven and earth, and the law network covered this place, making it extremely stable and greatly suppressing flying ability!

Massive spiritual energy from the Seven Stars Realm poured in, rapidly increasing the spiritual energy density of the entire secret realm, filling it with abundant innate spiritual energy.

Su Yuan activated the Law of Creation.

Something miraculous happened!

A large number of ordinary spiritual treasures, spiritual pills, even Immortal artifacts and pills were created from thin air in various corners under Su Yuan’s control!

Beneath the surface, many heavenly materials and treasures were forming, spiritual ores and even Immortal ores appeared out of nowhere.

Above ground, Su Yuan scattered numerous spiritual herb seeds that, under certain power, rapidly grew.

This was the Divine Ability of the Law of Creation, [Maneuvering Creation]!

With the Law of Creation cooperating with the laws of refining artifacts, refining pills, and the Five Elements law, the intermediate refining process could be omitted, directly creating treasures Su Yuan fully mastered the crafting methods of.

The materials consumed were the original materials of heaven and earth plus massive spiritual energy!

It also required consumption of Creation Power.

This was the internal principle of the Myriad Treasures Heaven-Earth Cauldron. Now Su Yuan could produce similar effects without relying on the Cauldron.

However, the current limit of his creations was only supreme-grade Immortal artifacts. He could not yet create Golden Immortal artifacts.

“Creation power consumption is quite high!”

After comprehending the Law of Creation, Su Yuan could draw Creation Power from heaven and earth to use for practicing the Law of Creation and corresponding Divine Abilities.

Processes like artifact refining, pill refining, and cultivation also generated Creation Power, quickly replenishing his reserves.

He had only recently comprehended the Law of Creation and had not yet cultivated it deeply, so his storage of Creation Power was limited.

Thus, he needed to accumulate Creation Power gradually.

Su Yuan looked at the gradually forming secret realm and smiled faintly.

He had long known that the Ten Jue Wanderer had left behind means, and someone on the opposite side of the Spiritual Realm intended to scheme against the Seven Stars Realm. Since that was so, he did not mind using the cultivators of this world as trial subjects for the Seven Stars Sect.

Su Yuan then withdrew from the secret realm portal.

He appeared in the small valley where the portal was located.

With a wave of his hand, he moved all the forest and mountains here to other places, leaving only a vast expanse of bare ground.

Then Su Yuan used the Divine Ability [Maneuvering Creation] to raise a huge giant city from underground.

At the center of the city was the spatial portal.

This was now a border city!

However, the city was empty, without a single person in sight.

“Having this secret realm as a training ground, the disciples’ mental cultivation should improve, and their feedback to me will increase too!” Su Yuan said with satisfaction.
