“Lost this thoroughly?”

Su Yuan fell into deep thought.

He truly had not expected to be defeated so miserably, but upon careful consideration, all these cultivators had comprehended the Star Law for hundreds of thousands of years or even longer.

He had only been studying the Star Law for a few decades;

it was normal that he couldn’t catch up to them.

However, Su Yuan also took this as a warning. He knew that his combat skills were indeed too weak.

Because his cultivation speed was simply too fast!

And precisely due to this weakness in law application, it caused his comprehension of the law origins to slow down increasingly.

Thinking of this, Su Yuan revised his cultivation plan, deciding to thoroughly study the first twelve law origins before attempting to comprehend more law origins.

[Time Corridor] entry activated!

Su Yuan’s consciousness delved deep into his soul, where he saw two distinct time corridors.

[Time Corridor] upgraded to level 2;

previously it only recorded one time fragment, but now it could record multiple.

Furthermore, the time flow speed within could be adjusted up to 200 times normal speed.

Su Yuan replayed his battle with [Tiandu].

This time, it was slowed down to 1/200 speed!

The battle had been too fast before;

Su Yuan had no time to analyze the opponent’s law application techniques.

But now with slow playback, he could slowly review and study the subtleties.

“Stars, burning, flames! The ‘burning’ characteristic is demonstrated vividly here!”

Su Yuan quickly discovered that the opponent only used one law origin as the core to unleash the divine technique spell, while the remaining eleven law origins supported this one representing the burning characteristic during casting.

The way these were combined made Su Yuan nod repeatedly in admiration.

“What a profound combination method, how did I never think of this?”

Su Yuan was amazed. He hadn’t expected that every law origin could have various connections, and their combinations could enhance the release power of a certain law origin by more than a hundred times.

No wonder he was defeated in one move;

this combination was extremely advanced.

Su Yuan pondered how to break this move. If he understood the combination method of this move’s law origins, breaking that combination could greatly reduce the move’s power. He could also find a law origin to counter the burning characteristic and confront it head-on.

In short, once grasping the essence of these changes, solving it would become much easier!

At the same time, he wanted to try to imitate the opponent’s casting method and replicate this move.

He also had comprehended twelve law origins, exactly the same set as the cultivator [Tiandu] had comprehended, so theoretically, he could reproduce the opponent’s method.

However, his initial attempts revealed it was not simple. Each law origin was actually constructed from at least a thousand strands of law, each with its own effect. The combination of two law origins could derive countless variations.

Relying solely on observation to reverse-engineer someone else’s casting technique was nearly impossible.

Thus, Su Yuan spent three more years, repeatedly perceiving the spacetime fragments in [Time Corridor] section by section, but still couldn’t imitate [Tiandu]’s technique.

“Strange, how exactly is he combining them?”

Su Yuan scratched his head in frustration.

He could have directly searched for answers in the Dragon Clan’s Myriad Books Sea, possibly obtaining ready-made law combination methods.

But that would kill his own creativity, so Su Yuan chose to solve this difficulty on his own first.

Yet Su Yuan was not stubborn;

he then began watching the reversed time footage of the second battle.

The second cultivator also used twelve Star Law origins to cast a divine technique, but this move was built around the ‘destruction’ characteristic.

Su Yuan learned the general framework but still couldn’t grasp the deepest subtleties. Fortunately, the time spent was greatly reduced, taking only one year.

Su Yuan didn’t lose heart and continued to study the third cultivator’s divine technique.

By imitating these cultivators’ law application methods one by one, he gradually deepened his understanding of the twelve basic law origins.

Though seemingly simple, the twelve law origins contained infinite variations that amazed Su Yuan greatly.

After another ten years, Su Yuan had comprehended the techniques of all the cultivators.

Some divine techniques, through his unremitting effort or fortunate coincidences, he could replicate, but most were still stuck at the final step and couldn’t reproduce the original effects.

At this moment, Su Yuan opened the system panel and activated the [Work-Rest Balance] active effect.

He activated it six times in a row!

The cultivation effect suddenly increased by one million times!

Although the cultivation time lasted only three seconds!

But in these three seconds!

Su Yuan’s thinking reached an incredible level!

Almost within one second, Su Yuan instantly resolved all doubts encountered over years of cultivation!

In the second second, he understood the principles behind the techniques of 400 cultivators.

Su Yuan recalled [Tiandu]’s move, and with a wave of his hand, effortlessly imitated the opponent’s method. Twelve clusters of flames merged, forming a more explosive starry flame!

This flame’s power was several times stronger than what [Tiandu] had unleashed!

This was truly surpassing the master!

At the third second, Su Yuan looked at the flames.

With his heightened comprehension,

he could see strands of Star Law flowing within the flames. Su Yuan instinctively extracted these strands, and before him appeared an incomplete diagram of law strand operation.

The cultivation time ended.

But Su Yuan’s eyes shone brightly as he stared at the law operation diagram, because on close inspection, the diagram looked like part of a certain overall pattern!

Thinking of this, Su Yuan immediately imitated other cultivators’ techniques and fully activated [Daoist Techniques Naturally], extracting another law operation diagram.

Using the same method, Su Yuan extracted many incomplete law operation diagrams, totaling 400 diagrams.

Then, Su Yuan overlaid all these operation diagrams together!

The overlapping parts were merged one by one.

Finally, Su Yuan saw a nearly complete operation diagram.

It was a spherical operation diagram, internally composed of tens of thousands of strands forming inner channels. The law strands looked like blood vessels supporting a sphere, which felt strangely familiar.

“Isn’t this the Eye of the Heavenly Dao?”

Suddenly, Su Yuan recalled the Heavenly Dao in the Seven Stars Realm, which looked like an eyeball composed of countless law chains.

The spherical operation diagram before him already carried some essence of the Heavenly Dao’s eye.

He looked carefully at the sphere and found some discordant parts, so Su Yuan removed them one by one. In the end, he eliminated three extra law origins.

Nine law origins formed a nearly perfect pattern resembling the Eye of the Heavenly Dao!

“Could this be a more profound fusion of law origins?”

Su Yuan realized belatedly.

A Taiyi Golden Immortal comprehends a complete set of 118 law origins, while a Daluo Golden Immortal fuses all 118 law origins into one.

Obviously, law origins could be fused.

And Su Yuan unexpectedly found a fusion method.

That was to base cultivation on law origins, form a divine technique, then extract the law operation diagram from the divine technique’s move.

Repeat the entire process.

As more divine techniques were comprehended and more law operation diagrams obtained, one could gradually grasp a perfect method of combining law origins.

Su Yuan was now very curious how powerful the spell divine technique formed by this combination would be.

Thinking of this, Su Yuan projected his consciousness once again into the origin place of the Great Dao.

On the ancient Star Dao, cultivator projections stood like immovable rocks for ten years without any change.

Those cultivators remained standing in the same positions.

Su Yuan looked toward Tiandu and asked, “Tiandu, dare to fight?”

[Tiandu] glanced at Su Yuan, puzzled. “996? Didn’t I just defeat you? If you challenge me now, you’ll still fail. Focus on comprehending the law first;

we’ll talk about the challenge later.”

Su Yuan smiled, “I’ve made great progress. I feel I can easily defeat you now!”

[Tiandu] shook his head carelessly, “Looks like you’ve fallen into confusion in your cultivation. You’ve only studied for a little over ten years and dare to challenge me? Without hundreds of years of cultivation, surpassing me is almost impossible!”

Su Yuan calmly said, “That’s not necessarily true!”

As they spoke, they rose into the air to face each other once more.

The cultivators on the Great Dao showed interest.

They had all fought Su Yuan and lost;

now he dared to challenge again, which was a bit arrogant.

So they wanted to see Su Yuan’s failure.

Tiandu repeated his old trick;

twelve clusters of flame appeared around him, forming a sea of fire intending to incinerate Su Yuan effortlessly.

However, Su Yuan casually waved his hand and lightly slashed with his sword.

Nine law origins combined in an extremely profound way into the sword light.

The sword light instantly slashed out.

The originally terrifying burning sea of flames was directly split in two by this sword!

The sword light sped through the gap at an incredible speed toward [Tiandu]!

“How is this possible!” [Tiandu] exclaimed in disbelief.

The sword light instantly struck [Tiandu], severing his consciousness from the origin place of the Great Dao.

The change was so swift that many Golden Immortal cultivators standing on the ground didn’t even react in time.
