Su Yuan was contemplating how to use the entries next.

On the system panel, the [Responding to Danger] entry suddenly lit up brightly, its intensity comparable to when he faced the Thunder Giant before.

“What’s happening?”

Su Yuan’s expression changed.

As he focused on the Responding to Danger entry, he immediately sensed a wave of crisis emanating from afar!

“That direction?”

Su Yuan quickly activated Mind Echo, continuously sending his thoughts toward that direction, sensing the surroundings and searching for the source of danger.

Following that path rapidly forward, he finally appeared above a mortal’s head and saw a flash of lightning streak across the sky.

The lightning was incredibly fast;

within it, a one-li li (roughly 500 meters) tall stone giant was swiftly fleeing, heading straight toward the Seven Stars Sect!

Su Yuan’s gaze sharpened as he rapidly switched Mind Echo several times. After confirming, he was certain that this being was indeed targeting the Seven Stars Sect!

“This being… why does it look a bit like that Thunder Giant?”

Su Yuan immediately recalled when he used Mind Echo before to see the Thunder Giant above the Ninth Heaven, clearly a powerful existence beyond the Immortal Realm.

But this Thunder Giant, by activating [Great Being’s Demeanor], he could confirm it was a mid Foundation Establishment stage entity.

“Why is the Thunder Giant targeting me?”

Su Yuan suspected that his cross-realm actions had been discovered by the Thunder Giant, or perhaps the previous suppression of fate had attracted attention.

No matter what, he could not let this enemy have an easy time now!

“At this speed, it will arrive in three quarters of an hour!”

Su Yuan’s expression remained calm, without panic.

At that moment, Elder Lei Yan’s thoughts came through repeatedly.

Su Yuan sent a portion of his consciousness over.

He then saw Elder Lei Yan fleeing in terror at high speed toward the distance.

Su Yuan was also shocked by the scene ahead.

Above the sky, it looked as if a giant hole had been torn open—a massive ocean of thunder was pouring down toward the sea below!

“Help! Patriarch! The sky is falling! This time it’s really the sky falling!” Elder Lei Yan was terrified.

Su Yuan was equally stunned. It truly seemed as if the sky had collapsed, the thunder ocean pouring into the sea, a spectacle so magnificent it defied belief.

“What exactly is going on?” Su Yuan’s voice directly echoed in Lei Yan’s mind—this was a level 2 Mind Echo ability.

“I don’t know. I was cultivating when suddenly there was a muffled boom in the sky, a tremendous thunderclap shattered my eardrums! I hurried out of seclusion and saw a thunder ocean collapsing from the sky. It’s absolutely ridiculous!”

Elder Lei Yan was already accelerating away from the area where the thunder ocean was pouring down—this was a natural disaster!

Seeing this, Su Yuan said, “Run quickly. There’s danger here too. A powerful enemy is about to attack the Seven Stars Sect. I can’t help you much, but this thunder ocean, although huge, still needs some time to fall. Hold on a bit. Once I solve that trouble, I should be able to assist you. Keep recalling my name, don’t stop!”

Elder Lei Yan smiled wryly but summoned his spiritual turtle spirit to chant the name while he kept his head down and ran outward.

Su Yuan immediately activated [Work-Rest Balance]!

Four activations in a row increased his comprehension by thousands of times! His cultivation efficiency skyrocketed thousands of times as well!

At his main body’s location, Su Yuan directly leapt into the Myriad Treasures Heaven-Earth Cauldron and began absorbing the Thunder Essence inside to temper his Nascent Soul.

His Nascent Soul started growing at an astonishing speed.

Under Su Yuan’s mental control, the Cauldron instantly transformed into a sixth-grade Seven-Star Magic Altar, comprehensively amplifying the communication efficiency with the Big Dipper constellation, unleashing an incredible magnetic force.

The Big Dipper shone brightly as a star pillar hundreds of meters wide descended from the sky!

Inside his dantian, nine Golden Cores formed the Big Dipper Nine-Star Formation, immediately drawing in the star light from the Big Dipper above.

Countless starlights converged in the dantian, absorbed and refined by the nine Golden Cores, transforming into Golden Core mana. This mana was absorbed by the Nascent Soul, rapidly filling it.

The Floating Light Pot hurried over and deployed a seventh-grade Yuan Pool formation restriction, crazily absorbing surrounding spiritual energy, converting it into spiritual liquid to supply Su Yuan’s absorption and refinement.

Within a hundred-mile radius, a massive spiritual energy whirlpool formed, with Su Yuan seated cross-legged at its center.

Such an extravagant cultivation scene immediately alarmed the entire Seven Stars Sect.

One by one, cultivators flew into the air, dumbfounded as they looked toward Su Yuan’s cave dwelling.

Gu Qingzhu swiftly flew outside Su Yuan’s cave and gawked at the scene of Su Yuan rapidly absorbing spiritual energy.

“What’s going on? Why is Patriarch Su suddenly cultivating so wildly?” Gu Qingzhu was deeply puzzled.

Nangong Xianweng also arrived, hastily saying, “Immediately take out the sect’s spiritual stone reserves. I feel a trace of unease in my heart—something catastrophic is coming. Su Yuan should sense it too. Clearly, he is breaking through his realm temporarily!”

Gu Qingzhu’s expression changed sharply. He raised his hand, opening a storage ring on his finger, and a mountain-like pile of spiritual stones poured into Cave #6.

The natural formation restriction set by the seventh-grade Floating Sky Pot was like a giant millstone, crushing the spiritual stones Gu Qingzhu poured in into powder.

Countless spiritual energies were rapidly compressed and refined into pure spiritual energy, flowing into Su Yuan’s body.

Gu Qingzhu inhaled sharply, “Can Su Yuan’s physical body withstand this kind of intake?”

But Su Yuan’s physical body was as solid as a mountain, resisting star light, spiritual energy, and Thunder Essence alike.

His twelve-hundred-thousand-year lifespan physical body unleashed astonishing potential.

What those around him didn’t know was that all these changes were controlled by a thread of Su Yuan’s consciousness.

His main energy was focused entirely on comprehending the sky-shattering thunder.

The entire sky had collapsed—that was an unimaginably terrifying scene.

After activating [Daoist Techniques Naturally], Su Yuan was even more shocked to see chains locking the thunder ocean in place!

Those chains looked extremely profound, filled with the mysteries of laws, mysteriously preventing the thunder ocean’s descent.

No wonder the thunder ocean’s falling speed didn’t seem fast—there was a chain network holding it back.

Under the sensing of Daoist Techniques Naturally, those thunders were far more terrifying than they appeared on the surface, filled with all kinds of thunder, the aura of thunder laws dense to the extreme.

This scene was too terrifying, too magnificent, and too profound!

Countless insights drilled directly into his mind. His thunder realm almost broke through the law tier within a few breaths!

He looked at those law chains. They were too refined;

he couldn’t glean much from them, so he continued to study the thunder ocean.

Golden thunder, water thunder, fire thunder, earth thunder—countless types of thunder!

Su Yuan was stunned by this opportunity—it was like the mysteries of thunder laws were being fully revealed before him without reservation!

His thunder law was slowly improving, and along with it, he gained a hint of understanding of the five elements laws: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

“Thunder, the power of heavenly punishment—destruction, brutality, annihilation of all!”

Su Yuan comprehended the thunder ocean, advancing along one path of thunder law—the path of thunder destruction!

He abandoned comprehending other thunder law attributes, focusing solely on destruction.

With each insight, he felt his thunder law grow stronger.

Every bit stronger in thunder law insight increased his attack power by tens of percent!

Time passed quickly;

his cultivation time was less than half an hour!

At the final moments of cultivation, Su Yuan adjusted the divine abilities he had created before, integrating his new thunder law comprehension.

In a brief instant, the cultivation time ended.

At his main body, the Nascent Soul’s growth speed sharply dropped, from rocket speed to turtle pace, and due to the excessive absorption speed, the Nascent Soul even showed signs of fracturing.

Su Yuan immediately stopped absorbing spiritual energy, reversing the flow back into the Floating Light Pot and the Myriad Treasures Heaven-Earth Cauldron.

The terrifying cultivation scene above his main body disappeared, and everything returned to calm.

Several Nascent Souls hurried over, all looking anxiously at Su Yuan.

At this moment, Su Yuan emitted a mighty aura, clearly having reached the Nascent Soul peak!

Gu Qingzhu gasped, “Pa-patriarch, have you completed Nascent Soul cultivation? Just a bit more of the Yang Thunder baptism and you can transform into Nascent Spirit! This is unbelievably fast!”

Su Yuan nodded, “The Nascent Soul’s growth is actually the process of adapting to the energies of heaven and earth. I only accelerated this process a bit!”

Gu Qingzhu was silent for a moment, then asked, “Can I accelerate mine too?”

Hearing this, Su Yuan shook his head, “No. If you cultivate too fast, your mana will become unstable, affecting later growth. I’m different. My foundation isn’t in the Nascent Soul, but in the Golden Core.”

Gu Qingzhu was baffled and a little lost!

Suddenly, Su Yuan turned toward outside the sect, his expression serious: “That guy is coming! Prepare yourselves and protect the sect!”

Only then did Nangong Xianweng ask, “What kind of enemy is it?”

“A Foundation Establishment stage... monster!” Su Yuan answered.

Everyone gasped in shock!

Gu Qingzhu said gravely, “Patriarch, can you handle it? Should we immediately activate the seed plan?”

Obviously, Gu Qingzhu had already prepared for the sect’s destruction.

“Don’t panic, I’m here!”

Su Yuan calmly said to everyone, “You just protect the sect. I will deal with this monster!”

He actually wasn’t worried at all. If it came to the worst, he could use [World Traveler] to send this thunder stone monster to the Black Demon Realm.
