Tonggu Dragon King frowned slightly.

A mere human cultivator actually dared to meet his gaze.

The Dragon King's expression darkened, a flash of displeasure appearing in his eyes as a streak of fire shot from his dragon pupils, transforming into a Fire-tipped Spear that shot straight toward Su Yuan.

Su Yuan also frowned. He hadn't expected that a dignified Dragon King would so casually attempt to kill a human cultivator - especially when that human was himself!

Su Yuan's eyes turned cold as a wisp of starlight sword energy infused with lightning aura condensed before shooting toward Tonggu Dragon King.

Both attacks were minimal, containing no substantial magical power.

The Dragon King believed a casual strike could crush the human cultivator, while Su Yuan was confident his attack could block the Dragon King's strike.

The lightning sword and fire spear clashed midair, instantly illuminating the sky.

Laws of lightning, stellar laws, and sword principles instantly formed a web of laws that enveloped the Fire-tipped Spear, grinding it into dissipating sparks within moments.

Then Su Yuan's attack reformed into a lightning sword that shot toward Tonggu Dragon King!

The Dragon King reached out and grabbed!

The sword energy became trapped within his claw.

With a light squeeze, he attempted to crush the minor sword energy, but in a breath's time, the energy split into nine parts that arranged themselves into a mysterious Seven Stars Formation, actually resisting the Dragon King's casual grip.

A flash of light appeared in the Dragon King's eyes as if he saw nine supremely profound dao characters evolving within the formation.

Containing numerous mysteries of stellar laws, these dao characters sent Tonggu Dragon King - seeing them for the first time - into momentary daze.

He quickly regained clarity and forcefully crushed the lightning sword formation in his claw.

At this moment, Tonggu Dragon King felt uneasy.

He stared suspiciously at Su Yuan, his expression shifting uncertainly. These were law dao characters - could this person actually be at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm?

For the first time, Tonggu Dragon King felt intense unease, deeply imprinting Su Yuan's appearance in his mind.

[Ding, Fame Value +13]

Surprise flashed in Su Yuan's eyes - this Dragon King actually gave him 13 Fame Points? What realm was this?

At this moment, [Dangerous Mission] highlighted brightly, indicating the extreme threat level of the Dragon King before him!

Su Yuan glanced at his system panel without panic, calmly activating the entry [Great Being's Demeanor].

His pressure, aura, and temperament began rapidly approaching a certain realm.

The Dragon King paused briefly, sending out an avatar clone to continue patrolling Tonggu River.

His true body, however, transformed into a young man with dragon horns after a flash of light.

He quickly appeared above Su Yuan's courtyard, immediately releasing powerful dragon might to probe Su Yuan's limits.

Yet when he did so,

Su Yuan simply raised his teacup at that moment, sending back an immense, condensed pressure that instead suppressed Tonggu Dragon King!

Not only did this effortlessly dissipate the dragon might without the nearby maids noticing anything as they continued preparing tea,

but Su Yuan's pressure also counter-suppressed the Dragon King!

The Dragon King's aura suddenly stagnated, his power suppressed by ten percent!

This made Tonggu Dragon King's expression completely change.

Su Yuan was extremely surprised - his [Great Being's Demeanor] had broken records, his pressure reaching Golden Immortal level.

This meant the Dragon King's cultivation had reached Mystic Immortal level!

This was somewhat unbelievable!

Su Yuan's second Nascent Soul had only just entered Human Immortal initial stage. In a real fight, even with [Great Being's Demeanor], he'd be instantly defeated without resistance.

Yet Tonggu Dragon King now regarded Su Yuan with deep wariness.

Taking a deep breath and seeing Su Yuan didn't press further, the Dragon King descended after a moment's thought, landing in Su Yuan's courtyard.

He bowed respectfully: "Tonggu pays respects to the Human Immortal Lord!"

"Immortal Lord?" The local earth god gasped, looking at Su Yuan in terror. He hastily stood up, not daring to remain seated, quickly moving aside.

Immortal Lord typically referred to Golden Immortals!

Eternal Golden Immortals capable of establishing massive domains in the immortal world!

[Ding, Fame Value +0.0001]

[Ding, Fame Value +0.001]

[Ding, Fame Value +0.01]

[Ding, Fame Value +0.1]

Su Yuan glanced at the meager Fame Values from the earth god.

After four increases, it only totaled 0.1...

"I dare not claim to be an Immortal Lord! My power is weak - I was nearly killed by you!" Su Yuan said calmly.

Tonggu's expression changed.

He forced a smile: "The Immortal Lord jests! This matter was indeed my mistake. I'm willing to compensate your losses."

He continued: "My grandfather is a Golden Immortal. As long as the exalted immortal makes requests, I'll fully compensate the Immortal Lord!"

Tonggu Dragon King's words carried hidden thorns, subtly mentioning his background.

Su Yuan frowned.

Tonggu Dragon King's heart leapt to his throat - while his grandfather was indeed a Golden Immortal, their relationship wasn't close.

The atmosphere instantly froze.

Nearby maids and guards stiffened, only the old ox remained calm as it happily ate celestial fodder, completely ignoring their conversation.

Noticing the Green Ox's relaxed demeanor made Tonggu Dragon King even more nervous.

Su Yuan snorted coldly: "You've taken my human clan's worship and fortune, yet care little for their safety. Is this proper?"

Tonggu Dragon King secretly relaxed: "What does the Immortal Lord suggest?"

"I want you to protect these humans' safety, at least ensuring towns and cities remain secure for ten thousand years. Do you agree?"

Su Yuan stared at Tonggu Dragon King, oppressive might forcefully pressing down.

The Dragon King sighed in relief: "This incident was indeed my fault. I'm willing to pay the price - protecting the humans under my care."

Checking his system panel and seeing no additional Fame Values from the Dragon King,

Su Yuan continued: "Additionally, I'll spread a cultivation method - all humans in your territory may learn it!"

Tonggu Dragon King's expression changed: "This...if humans cultivate, ensuring their safety becomes difficult!"

Su Yuan calmly watched, his oppressive might intensifying!

The Dragon King sighed and nodded: "As the exalted immortal commands."

[Ding, Fame Value +130]

[Ding, Fame Value Level Up]

Su Yuan immediately checked his system panel.

[Name]: Su Yuan

[Region]: Immortal Origin Realm

[Level]: Minor Fame (145/1000)

[Realm]: Peak Void Refining (100/100) / Initial Human Immortal (1/100)

[Entry 1]: Work-Rest Balance lv7 (101100/1m): Current rest time: 1 day (Modifiable)

Su Yuan mentally clicked [Modifiable].

Instantly, the Work-Rest Balance entry's description reappeared.

[Work-Rest Balance]: You excel at balancing work and rest. The longer you rest, the better your cultivation results. Current rest time: 1 day!

Staring at this description, Su Yuan realized he could add, delete or modify parts of it - but with extreme limitations, only changing one or two characters.

He tried changing "longer" to "shorter".

A red flash crossed the system panel - the modification failed.

After brief consideration, his gaze fell on the latter part.

He modified one phrase.

A green flash appeared.

Entry 1 instantly changed.

[Work-Rest Balance]: You excel at balancing work and rest. The longer you rest, the better your cultivation results. Total accumulated rest time: 1 day!

Su Yuan's heart surged with joy at this description.

Though only two characters changed, the actual effect had transformed completely!

Su Yuan's main body immediately tested it.

He began cultivating!

And he could truly choose not to activate Work-Rest Balance!

The accumulated rest time didn't decrease or disappear!

Cultivating didn't affect the ongoing accumulation!

At this moment!

Entry 1 achieved an epic breakthrough!

This surpassed level upgrades - it was a fundamental, revolutionary improvement!

He never imagined the Immortal Origin Realm's fame system could modify entry descriptions!

Even one or two character changes could produce astonishingly different effects!

His experiment confirmed his long-held suspicion.

The Immortal Origin Realm truly lived up to being a higher world!

Tonggu Dragon King noticed Su Yuan's sudden good mood.

But he sensed it wasn't due to their agreement - something else pleased him.

Noticing the Dragon King's gaze, Su Yuan smiled: "Tonggu Dragon King, thank you for your hospitality. Having obtained what I wanted, there's no need to linger!"

The Dragon King quickly asked: "Might I know the exalted immortal's honorable title?"

"I am the Seven Stars Daoist! The Big Dipper illuminates earth to stabilize mountains and rivers, Seven Stars shine upon heaven to grasp the starry river! Hahaha, this daoist takes his leave - we'll meet again if fate allows!"

Amidst Su Yuan's laughter,

his voice vanished like bubbles.

Along with him disappeared four maids, three guards, the old ox, and its cart.

Everything Su Yuan brought vanished without trace.

Tonggu Dragon King scanned thousands of miles but found no sign of Su Yuan, as if he'd never existed.

Bewildered, he looked at the earth god.

The terrified earth god said: "Dragon King, I...I don't know either."

The Dragon King waved him off, flying into the clouds as he gazed at his domain and sighed: "Should've checked the almanac before leaving! Met a human old monster today!"
