Su Yuan's true form left the Seven Stars Realm for the first time, appearing above the Big Dipper constellation.
Tian Shu Star remained as deathly silent as ever.
A certain power of the Time Law still enveloped Tian Shu Star, rapidly consuming the lifespan of all living beings.
Su Yuan paid no mind to this whatsoever.
He sat cross-legged on a mountain peak formed from accumulated star crystals, surrounded by piles of various precious materials.
【Balanced Work and Rest】activated!
170 million years of rest time, rapidly activated eight times, cultivation effect increased by 100 million times, with lv9 effect providing an additional 512-fold boost, resulting in an actual increase of 51.2 billion times!
Sustainable duration: 1.7 years!
Su Yuan activated 【Rise to the Challenge in Crisis】, consuming lifespan—one billion Yuan Assemblies! Equivalent to 129,600,000,000,000 years of lifespan!
The mutated effect of 【Rise to the Challenge in Crisis】 enhanced his comprehension and talent by 1 million times! The lv8 effect amplified this boost by 256 times, resulting in an actual increase of 256 million times in comprehension and talent.The most terrifying aspect was the talent enhancement—the efficiency of comprehending various laws was infinitely improved!
The mutated passive of 【Daoist Techniques Naturally】was also constantly active.
I Am Nature: Manifesting one's Great Dao to heaven and earth—the more and stronger living beings comprehend it, the higher the comprehension bonus.
At this moment, the Big Dipper in the foreign realm sea illuminated countless living beings, providing Daoist techniques and Dao insights to an unimaginable number of creatures, while countless beings feedback innumerable comprehension bonuses.
Now the comprehension bonus from the mutated passive of 【Daoist Techniques Naturally】had reached 1.2 million times. While this bonus might seem modest, it was permanent and still held enormous potential for growth.
【Great Being's Form】activated!
Using one of his mind avatars, Su Yuan located an old eccentric Mixed-origin Golden Immortal and used him as the basis to activate 【Great Being's Form】!
Thus, he emanated an aura one level higher than a Mixed-origin Golden Immortal—that of a Mixed-origin Great Luo Golden Immortal!
Under the effect of the lv8 enhancement, he possessed the pressure, aura, demeanor, temperament, auspicious clouds, divine sense fluctuations, soul fluctuations, law shadows, and Dao fruit manifestations of a Mixed-origin Great Luo Golden Immortal.
No matter how one looked at it, Su Yuan appeared to be a great being—as long as he didn't engage in direct combat.
Even in direct combat, after modifying it to ignore most damage, he could reduce damage to one-trillionth of its original force, making his defense nearly equivalent to that of a Mixed-origin Great Luo Golden Immortal.
The reason he activated Great Being's Form was that he discovered this effect could even potentially deceive the Great Dao itself!
When he activated this enhancement, the laws of heaven and earth opened their embrace to him, especially his main cultivation focus—the Star Laws—which seemed to regard Su Yuan as their master, even presenting their fundamental mysteries without reservation for him to observe at will.
The clarity of law comprehension improved by over ten million times.
Moreover, the authority of heaven and earth over the Big Dipper, 【Big Dipper Supreme】, under the disguise of Great Being's Form, completely integrated into his soul, submitting to his existence!
Thus, under the effect of 【Great Being's Form】, the difficulty of comprehending laws decreased by tens of millions of times.
Even in direct combat, after modifying it to ignore most damage, he could reduce damage to one-trillionth of its original force, making his defense nearly equivalent to that of a Mixed-origin Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Powerful mental cultivation could also provide speed bonuses for cultivation improvement.
【Mind Echo】also played its role at this moment. Countless mind avatars existed within innumerable living beings, and the cultivation processes of countless creatures were all visible to Su Yuan—including those of Great Luo Golden Immortals and Mixed-origin Golden Immortals!
The most secret cultivation states and insights of these beings were presented to Su Yuan without reservation, especially since countless beings perished every moment. After their deaths, their cultivation and insights were inherited by the mind avatars, allowing Su Yuan to gain massive law comprehension. For example, when the 618th Demon World Army was completely annihilated, he had stored their cultivation insights until now, when he could release them all at once.
Simultaneously, Mind Echo allowed Su Yuan to observe almost any wonder of heaven and earth anywhere in the world, including secret realms, treasure lands, Dao tablets, law evolution, technique manuals, and more from various major sects.
All these past experiences now flowed quietly in the river of time within 【Corridor of Time】, waiting for Su Yuan to experience them again.
The effects of these enhancements were almost multiplicative calculations, with all effects maximized!
At this moment when countless buffs were stacked to the maximum.
The most inconspicuous enhancement, 【Tempering Heart in Mortal Dust】, had been silently functioning all along. Now Su Yuan's mental cultivation had reached the late Mixed-origin Golden Immortal stage under its effect.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the Star Laws rapidly merged.
From 118 law essences, they sequentially merged into 13 deeper essences, taking only one breath.
Then merging from 13 deep essences into one took only one day.
The moment all essences merged into one.
Simultaneously, Mind Echo allowed Su Yuan to observe almost any wonder of heaven and earth anywhere in the world, including secret realms, treasure lands, Dao tablets, law evolution, technique manuals, and more from various major sects.
At this moment, a Great Dao golden flower bloomed above Su Yuan's head. The initial Great Dao golden flower had only one grade, appearing extremely weak.
The cultivation of a Great Luo Golden Immortal involved gathering the three flowers above: first the Great Dao flower (law flower), then the Nascent Soul flower (including soul, magic power, etc.), and finally the physical body flower.
The higher the grade of flower blooming, the higher the cultivator's realm. Typically, within three grades was early Great Luo stage, within six grades was mid Great Luo stage, within nine grades was late Great Luo stage, and reaching ten grades or above was peak Great Luo stage, preparing for breakthrough to Mixed-origin Golden Immortal.
In just one day, purely in terms of laws, Su Yuan had stepped into the Great Luo realm—something unimaginable to ordinary people!
After Su Yuan activated billion-fold accelerated cultivation, his body became like a black hole, continuously absorbing star crystals accumulated by the Big Dipper over countless years. Mountains composed of star crystals were uprooted and thrown toward Su Yuan, but before reaching him, these star crystal mountains completely shattered into countless energies that rushed into Su Yuan's physical body, soul, and dantian, becoming his cultivation resources.
The numerous precious materials beside him entered his dantian, merging into the nine star golden cores to nourish the nine life-bound magic treasure flying swords, helping them break through along with Su Yuan's realm advancement.
Of course, magic power cultivation and physical body cultivation were secondary.
Su Yuan's main comprehension focus remained on the laws.
He continued to deeply comprehend the Star Laws. Law comprehension at the Great Luo realm mainly involved studying origins.
The deeper and broader the origin comprehension, the more powerful the Star Laws became!
Su Yuan's consciousness entered the origin place of Star Laws. He passed through the mountainside and reached the summit, where he saw an origin staircase.
On the 10,800-step origin staircase, over a hundred Great Luo Golden Immortals and three Mixed-origin Golden Immortals were climbing.
The moment Su Yuan entered.
Everyone looked toward him.
Su Yuan calmly met their gazes.
This was already the final circle of Star Law comprehension.
"Oh, after countless years, another fellow Daoist has finally ascended to Great Luo!"
"He looks somewhat human?"
"To think the human race has produced another Great Luo Golden Immortal! There were rumors that the human race still had an elder Great Luo existence, but now a new Great Luo Golden Immortal has appeared!"
Various Great Luo beings looked at Su Yuan with mixed expressions.
Su Yuan could see that among these cultivators were dragons, phoenixes, divine beasts, and exotic creatures—but no humans existed.
His appearance seemed to make him the outlier here.
The closest to Su Yuan was a Kunpeng, which glanced at him once before ignoring him.
The distance between him and the Kunpeng was still five hundred origin steps.
Actually, the core of the Great Dao origin place didn't truly have individual steps—rather, Su Yuan's understanding of the laws caused the Great Dao origin place to manifest in this form.
In others' eyes, these 10,800 steps might appear as 10,800 islands, stars, forests, oceans, etc.
But the most fundamental aspect remained origin comprehension.
When he stepped onto the first step, the Star Law origin place instilled him with information, including what level of origin comprehension was needed to reach the next step. As for how to achieve it, the law origin place didn't provide—cultivators had to comprehend and penetrate it themselves.
Moreover, there was no fixed path for origin comprehension—any viable approach would work.
At this moment, countless inspirations emerged in Su Yuan's mind. With his incomprehensible comprehension ability, understanding laws had become as simple as eating and drinking.
"Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, lightning, light, and darkness are all part of the Star Laws!"
Clear realization flashed in Su Yuan's eyes.
His comprehension of the ten basic laws was fully integrated into the Star Laws.
Just one breath later, Su Yuan's origin comprehension of Star Laws instantly advanced by a huge margin.
His body seemed to be lifted by some power, making him soar through the air, crossing hundreds of steps and suddenly arriving just a few steps away from the Kunpeng.
This startled the Kunpeng, who turned around and stared wide-eyed at Su Yuan.
Su Yuan bowed slightly toward it with clasped hands.
In reality, the Great Dao golden flower above Su Yuan's head bloomed further, its petals advancing from first grade to second grade!
Following this line of thinking, Su Yuan turned to comprehend the ten basic laws: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, lightning, light, and darkness.
The Metal Law was one of Su Yuan's strongest innate talents. After enhancing his talent by over 200 million times, he comprehended the Metal Law as easily as picking up a stone from the roadside, like the primordial ancestor of metal himself.
In just fifteen minutes, he advanced the Metal Law from the Golden Immortal realm to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm!
Spending just two more days, he advanced the Metal Law to the Great Luo Golden Immortal level.
When the Metal Law reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, Su Yuan took a glance at the Metal Law origin place, then turned back without leaving even a law projection, because the Metal Law already had an owner—someone already existed at the very top.
