Su Yuan silently watched as the towering demonic figure disappeared with laughter. Scratching his head in confusion, he muttered, "What does this mean? Is this a declaration of war?"

Su Yuan took a sharp breath. He had just sensed an intense mental signal and followed it to investigate. What he saw were the Thunder Spirit Giant and a red-haired fire entity appearing together, their conversation revealing the existence of a powerful figure behind them.

This unknown powerhouse seemed hostile toward the Tianyuan Realm, intending its destruction - an overt enemy of their world. However, subsequent developments surprised Su Yuan.

The demon realm had actually sent envoys! And they appeared to be using this incident as pretext to launch a war?

Su Yuan frowned, realizing the situation had escalated beyond his expectations. Fortunately, the Tianyuan Realm had evaded the Thunder Spirit Giant's pursuit. Judging by circumstances, the giant and its master likely had no time to bother with Tianyuan Realm now.

The [Duty in Crisis] entry flickered slightly.

[Ding, lifespan +10,000 years]

"The danger has truly passed," Su Yuan contemplated. "But how will this immortal-demon war affect me? Perhaps I can use this opportunity to elevate my fame level across both realms!"

His eyes brightened at the thought. Currently, his fame levels only came from the mortal realm - he hadn't yet gained recognition in higher worlds like the immortal realm. He believed achieving fame in such supreme worlds would bring extraordinary changes, but until now he'd hesitated, feeling insufficiently prepared and the timing inopportune.

Now, with war brewing between immortals and demons, the perfect opportunity for profiting from chaos had arrived! An ideal time to spread his name and harvest fame points!

Having decided this, Su Yuan resolved to enhance his strength, particularly his comprehension of cosmic laws. His consciousness returned to his physical form as he sank into deep thought.

Nearby, Xiao Ju served Su Yuan a cup of Ice Soul Spirit Tea that slightly boosted comprehension. Taking a sip, Su Yuan felt his mind clear marginally and remarked approvingly, "Not bad. This specialty tea from the Cold Spirit Realm tastes decent. Long-term consumption has increased my comprehension by forty percent."

"Master, we're running low on this tea," Xiao Ju informed.

"Oh? Out already? No matter - the effects have become negligible anyway," Su Yuan dismissed casually. He then examined Xiao Ju's cultivation level and was surprised to find she'd reached the early Nascent Soul stage.

"Xiao Ju, you've broken through? Good, caught the last train."

"With master's generous resources, reaching Nascent Soul only now shames me before your nurturing!" Xiao Ju replied with visible embarrassment.

Su Yuan paid no mind. His gaze turned toward Cave #6, where all thirty-five spirit fish had reached at least Nascent Soul stage. Su Da led them at late Nascent Soul stage, his cultivation rocketing upward like a blazing arrow. This was because they'd assimilated lower-tier bloodlines of the Nine-Colored Celestial Fish, gaining the ability to enhance themselves by devouring spirit stones and materials - hence their astonishing decade-long progress.

But Little Cai was even more astounding! Having undergone her seventh hibernation cycle, she grew stronger simply by eating and sleeping. Her aura now radiated at the early Soul Transformation stage, as if cheating the system.

Under the Seven Stars Sect's fortune baptism, Xiao Li's grade had steadily risen to mid seventh-tier - not dramatic improvement, but consistent. The Myriad Treasures Heaven-Earth Cauldron had reached peak eighth-tier after devouring a ninth-tier treasure - rather pathetic progress considering what it consumed.

As for Su Yuan himself, his main body had effortlessly reached early Soul Transformation stage, pulled along by Little Cai's growth. Yes, his cultivation had passively leaped an entire major realm to early Soul Transformation! Fortunately, his profound law comprehension and mental fortitude prevented any instability in his foundation.

Most exaggerated was his second Nascent Soul. Driven by the Thunder Spirit Giant's physique, this secondary soul had matched its host body's level in just ten years, forcibly elevated to peak ninth-tier strength - without a single heavenly tribulation, since Su Yuan now controlled those himself!

Yet despite such progress, Su Yuan considered none of it his greatest achievement. He examined his system panel:

[Name]: Su Yuan

[Region]: Seven Stars Realm

[Level]: World Sovereign (10e/10e)

[Realm]: Early Soul Transformation (12/100)

[Entry 1]: Work-Rest Balance lv7 (100880/1m): Current rest time: 10.1 years

[Entry 2]: Daoist Techniques Naturally lv6 (19997/100k)

[Entry 3]: Seven Stars Shine Bright lv6 (11571/100k)

[Entry 4]: Mind Echo lv5 (3233/10k)

[Entry 5]: Great Being's Demeanor lv4 (812/1k)

[Entry 6]: Duty in Crisis lv4 (133/1k): Lifespan: 281,511 years

[Entry 7]: World Traveler lv3 (15/100)

[Entry 8]: Time Corridor lv2 (3/10)

[Entry 9]: Mortal Tempering lv2 (2/10)

The Work-Rest Balance entry had skyrocketed to level 7, its effects amplified 128-fold! Across 100,000 worlds, Su Yuan's name spread - not just through Seven Stars Sect disciples, but also practitioners who'd obtained Big Dipper cultivation methods and chose to propagate his fame. Given only a decade, most learners had barely begun their Seven Extremes Techniques - the true explosion in entry levels would likely come in another twenty or thirty years.

Daoist Techniques Naturally and Seven Stars Shine Bright had also seen 64-fold effect boosts with astonishing results. The level 5 Mind Echo proved incredibly powerful too, allowing 32 location markers anywhere his consciousness had reached, enabling instant mental projection without requiring others' summons.

Finishing his tea and setting aside a book, Su Yuan announced, "I'm preparing for seclusion! Guard the cave during this period - admit no one!"

"Yes!" chorused the attendant youths.

With a nod, Su Yuan stepped directly into the Floating Light Pot. Inside, Xiao Li was playing with Little Cai and immediately invited, "Master, come play!"

Waving them off, Su Yuan declined, "I need to cultivate."

Xiao Li gasped in exaggerated shock, "Master, you actually cultivate?"

Su Yuan's eye twitched, "Is that disbelief genuine?"

A white-haired youth floating nearby nodded, "Xiao Li's reaction is justified - I've never seen you cultivate!"

Sighing, Su Yuan countered, "What do you call reading then? I've read for ten years! Farmed for ten years! Refined pills, artifacts, talismans, and formations for ten years - I'm practically a cultivation maniac!"

Old Qian shrugged, "All I've seen is you playing. Your reading was mostly miscellany, your pills oddities like glow-in-the-dark bulb pills that ended up in my stomach."

Rolling his eyes, Su Yuan dismissed, "Philistines!" before declaring, "Prepare - I begin cultivating now!"

Old Qian straightened as the Myriad Treasures Heaven-Earth Cauldron transformed into a radiant Seven-Star Magic Altar shimmering with stellar light. Stepping onto it, Su Yuan assumed meditation posture.

Xiao Li activated the cave treasure's formation arrays, constructing a massive Yuan Pool formation centered on Su Yuan that extended beneath the cave, interlinking with the Seven Stars Sect's mountain-protection arrays and ley lines to create a super formation. Ambient spiritual energy began converging spontaneously toward the sect.

Little Cai, now glowing in nine colors, exhaled a multicolored bubble encapsulating Su Yuan - instantly multiplying his comprehension ninefold.

Su Yuan's consciousness locked onto a newly ascended ninth-tier demonic cultivator in the Black Demon Realm. His aura surged to immortal level - not just pressure, but his entire presence now indistinguishable from a true immortal when inactive. This state deepened his connection to heaven and earth, sharpening his law perception.

A beam of starlight rose from the altar, piercing the sky to connect with the Big Dipper. All preparations complete, Su Yuan's eyes flashed as he activated [Work-Rest Balance] - twice immediately!

His cultivation period extended to 36 days with 12,800-fold effect enhancement! The [Daoist Techniques Naturally] entry's effects amplified equivalently by ten thousand times!

Su Yuan's consciousness instantly projected to the Tian Shu Star, perceiving the Big Dipper's mysteries while simultaneously activating [Time Corridor]. Countless temporal reflections flooded his soul as he contemplated a decade's collected celestial phenomena.

Infinite realizations cascaded upon him, triggering immediate enlightenment. Ten years of accumulated knowledge from the Myriad Books Sea and elsewhere became endless inspiration, sustaining his enlightened state indefinitely!

The Big Dipper's profound meanings emerged and rapidly crystallized into law comprehension - stellar laws advancing at staggering speed, followed by thunder laws, then the five elements and sword laws. Like rivers merging into the sea, countless law comprehensions poured into Su Yuan's consciousness, elevating his cultivation exponentially.
