The beautiful woman soon departed.

Leaving only the seven little ones standing there in complete bewilderment.

Little Thirty-Six looked up.

Above the Sea of Books, countless stars twinkled. Simply gazing at them would pour streams of inheritance knowledge into one's mind.

[Immortal Dragon Body - Golden Immortal-level physical inheritance...]

[Supreme Solar Dragon Radiance - Taiyi Golden Immortal-level dragon flame inheritance...]

[Eternal Eyes - Great Luo Golden Immortal-level ocular technique inheritance...]

Little Thirty-Six gasped sharply. These inheritances were displayed before him completely unveiled, without the slightest concealment.

The Dragon Clan's method of nurturing descendants was astonishingly unrestrained - no elders teaching, just letting young dragons choose and learn by themselves, absorbing as much as they wished.

But clearly, the inheritances in the sky were too profound. He could only comprehend fragments of the introductions, feeling dizzy after just glancing at the subsequent contents.

"This is so complicated! Which inheritance should I choose?" Little Thirty-Six sighed. "If only Master were here, I could ask for his advice."

The moment his words fell.

In the next instant.

A consciousness traversed endless distances, crossed boundless spatial barriers, penetrated through the Dragon Clan's layered arrays, and appeared directly above Little Thirty-Six's head.

Su Yuan's voice emerged inexplicably in Little Thirty-Six's mind: "Hmm? Little Thirty-Six, where have you run off to? Don't speak aloud, just communicate with me mentally!"

Little Thirty-Six froze momentarily before his eyes lit up, thinking inwardly: "Master? Where are you?"

"I'm right beside you. Where exactly is this place?"

Su Yuan expanded his consciousness, observing his surroundings. The sight of countless books stretching before him shocked him profoundly. The quantity was practically infinite - overwhelmingly, unimaginably vast!

"I'm in the Dragon Clan's Myriad Books Sea. The elders told us to read here and choose a dragon inheritance to learn - those stars in the sky."

Su Yuan looked up at the celestial sphere, seeing the myriad stars, but averted his gaze after just a glance.

Because his [Daoist Techniques Naturally] trait allowed him to perceive the profound restrictions on each star - undoubtedly containing warnings against non-dragon observers.

Su Yuan said: "In that case, you should study these books diligently!"

"But Master, there are too many books here! It's impossible to read them all, and many are useless. I don't want to waste time!" Little Thirty-Six hurriedly replied. "Master, could you help me choose an inheritance?"

Su Yuan responded: "No need to rush. I can't immediately select a suitable inheritance for you right now. First, read the books, and remember to call out to me mentally at intervals!"

"Understood, Master." Little Thirty-Six obediently agreed.

Meanwhile, Su Yuan gazed at this endless sea of books, his main body's eyes turning red with desire!

Knowledge!

Inheritances!

This was genuine treasure!

The ocean-like collection of books was staggeringly immense!

Looking skyward again, he saw hundreds of millions of stars densely covering the firmament. Just the introductory content naturally emanating from each star made Su Yuan's eyes burn with excitement!

From these inheritance introductions, one could discern the hierarchy of immortal realms:

First were Human Immortal (including Demon Immortal, Ghost Immortal, Rogue Immortal, etc.), Earth Immortal, Heaven Immortal, True Immortal, and Mystic Immortal - the Five Realms of Longevity.

Next came Golden Immortal (Immortal Lord), Taiyi Golden Immortal (Immortal King), Great Luo Golden Immortal (Immortal Emperor), and Primordial Golden Immortal (Immortal Sovereign) - the Four Realms of Eternity!

Beyond these were Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal, Primordial Supreme Great Luo Golden Immortal, and Primordial Ultimate Great Luo Golden Immortal - the Three Realms of Supreme Power!

Su Yuan noticed one star's introduction mentioning the Dragon Clan having three Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortals as backing - no wonder they were so arrogant!

With three Supreme Powers safeguarding their fortune, no wonder the Dragon Clan flourished so magnificently.

Su Yuan hadn't expected the Immortal Origin Realm's waters to run so deep. The sheer depth of these cultivation realms startled him.

He was merely at the Nascent Soul stage!

Still only in the second of the four mortal realms, with twelve more realms above the immortal levels!

Su Yuan hastily withdrew his perception from the celestial stars, not daring to examine their contents further.

Yet his heart still itched with curiosity.

Suddenly, he remembered his [Corridor of Time] trait.

He maintained absolute confidence in his system's traits.

Su Yuan's main body activated the Corridor of Time.

Entering this temporal passageway, he located a recent point in time and plunged into it.

His consciousness seemed to return to the Myriad Books Sea. Looking up, he saw the same hundreds of millions of stars existing simultaneously.

Slowing down the Corridor of Time's playback speed, Su Yuan focused on one inheritance, perceiving its main contents.

Immediately, a flood of spiritual text poured into his soul.

Su Yuan was profoundly shaken!

The [Corridor of Time] was truly miraculous!

The corridor didn't merely record superficial images - it captured every aspect of reality's structure at each moment. For books and inheritances, every captured instant contained their complete contents.

Thus, by extracting a single second's temporal reflection, he could acquire all its knowledge.

The experiment succeeded!

Through the Corridor of Time, he gained the ability to read dragon inheritances!

He quickly exited the temporal state and checked the sky.

No dragon claws appeared - everything remained peaceful. His surreptitious acquisition had truly worked!

Su Yuan gradually calmed down.

"Although I can access these techniques, I mustn't be hasty. Step by step - I'm completely unqualified for post-immortal techniques. First, I'll examine the ordinary books in this sea."

Actually, most books in the Myriad Books Sea were immortal-level or above, with fewer mortal-level ones.

Reentering the Corridor of Time, Su Yuan extracted one second and stretched its flow. At level 1, the corridor could extend time perception a hundredfold.

Thus, one second became one hundred seconds. During this period, Su Yuan rapidly perceived and mentally recorded book contents using his Nascent Soul.

Then he exited again.

Taking blank jade slips, he transcribed all roughly recorded content from his Nascent Soul.

After considerable effort, he produced ten thousand jade slips.

Using magic, he converted these into physical books.

Randomly selecting one, Su Yuan began reading carefully.

That portion of his consciousness remained anchored in the Myriad Books Sea, continuously gathering temporal reflections.

"Impossible to finish! Absolutely impossible!"

Su Yuan couldn't help but exclaim.

Even reading without deep analysis - saving puzzles for [Work-Rest Balance] cultivation periods - the sheer processes of memorization, contemplation, and categorization overwhelmed him.

But these were happy troubles, and Su Yuan remained delighted.

However, leisurely reading wasn't his current priority. Having confirmed feasibility, Su Yuan needed to address the Thunder Giant problem beyond the Nine Heavens.

"Strange, why no reaction yet?"

Su Yuan looked toward the Nine Heavens' boundaries.

Checking his system panel showed [Dangerous Mission] remained inactive.

After contemplation, he decided to take a risk.

His Thunder Spirit Giant clone flashed into the sky, soaring beyond the heavens.

Within the Nine Heavens, tempestuous winds raged. Powerful celestial energies swept across the clone's body without causing harm.

The clone penetrated layer after celestial layer, finally reaching the uppermost heaven and locating that floating island.

Throughout, [Dangerous Mission] never activated, puzzling Su Yuan.

Until he saw the island's surface.

It was completely empty - the giant previously there was absent!

"Huh? Not home?"

Suddenly understanding, Su Yuan realized why the Thunder Giant hadn't reacted to Tianyuan Realm's events - it hadn't witnessed them!

Controlling the clone, he quickly boarded the island.

Superficially ordinary, yet when his ninth-tier physical body struck the ground, not a scratch appeared - proof of the island's extraordinary nature!

Scanning the area, Su Yuan soon noticed an array on one side.

"A teleportation array?"

His considerable array talent quickly confirmed this.

Su Yuan struck the array forcefully.

White light flashed, effortlessly blocking his attack.

After hundreds of attempts, he couldn't leave the slightest mark.

Su Yuan's mouth twitched.

"This array is ridiculously tough!"

Further inspection revealed the entire island was part of the array. Destroying it required destroying the island itself.

Su Yuan released his spiritual sense, attempting to envelop the entire island.

This proved easy.

Soon, his sense covered every inch.

Simultaneously...

In the Black Demon Realm.

The Big Dipper's seven stars shone brightly.

Starlight descended beyond the Black Demon Realm's Nine Heavens, coalescing into a stellar avatar.

Su Yuan immediately activated [World Traveler]!

Instantly, light flashed.

An island materialized out of nowhere, complete with the Thunder Spirit Giant clone.

"I actually moved it here?"

Su Yuan was overjoyed.

The clone stood at the island's edge, looking down at the demonic energy-choked continent below, shaking its head.

When the Thunder Giant returned, this dark vista would clearly indicate the wrong destination.

But that didn't matter.

Using [World Traveler] again, Su Yuan returned the clone to Tianyuan Realm.

Emerging beyond Tianyuan Realm, the clone saw the world's flat-earth structure.

Beyond lay spatial turbulence, not true starry skies.

The clone reentered Tianyuan Realm.

Su Yuan fell into deep thought.

Then he shouted skyward: "Heavenly Dao above! I, Su Yuan, vow to guard this realm for a millennium with my Great Ascension Realm body, requesting Tianyuan Realm's renaming to Seven Stars Realm!"
