Star Dust Daoist had comprehended the Star Law to the level of Origin Perfection, already touching the threshold of the Great Dao. One more step, and he would prove the Dao and achieve Hunyuan.

This step was extremely difficult, extremely difficult!

Countless cultivators were stuck at this step.

If Star Dust Daoist were to break through on his own, he couldn't even see the path ahead, couldn't even find the direction to strive toward.

But now, he possessed a strand of Star Law Origin Essence, which gave him both the direction and foundation for breakthrough.

Star Dust Daoist solemnly absorbed this wisp of Star Law Origin Essence into his body, refining it through his own Dao Fruit.

Time flowed silently.

His Dao Fruit gradually gained a hint of Hunyuan unity.

"The beginning of Hunyuan, the Dao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, Three gives birth to all things. Proving the Dao of Hunyuan means proving the root of Dao, then obtaining all things!"

Star Dust Daoist murmured to himself, his expression revealing a flash of enlightenment.

His Star Dao Fruit became increasingly smooth and unified, gradually reaching completion.

His consciousness entered the origin place of Star Laws, where he saw the Great Dao root of Star Laws—the source of all star laws in the Immortal-Demon Realm Sea, the so-called "Dao"!

He could use his Dao Fruit to contain this origin, thereby proving the Dao and becoming a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal.

But at this moment, he hesitated.

Because within his Dao Fruit, there was already a faint wisp of Law Origin Essence. Compared to the Great Dao origin within the Star Law origin place, his strand of Law Origin Essence was very thin, yet he felt that containing this origin would impose certain limitations.

So he asked Su Yuan: "Dao Sovereign, how should I choose?"

He explained his concerns to Su Yuan.

Su Yuan said strangely: "You don't think that containing the strand of Law Origin Essence I gave you would be without limitations, do you?"

Star Dust Daoist was stunned.

A mysterious, unfathomable smile appeared on Su Yuan's face.

After struggling for a while, Star Dust Daoist finally said: "Dao Sovereign, I choose to prove the Dao of stars with this strand of Law Origin Essence you gave me!"

"Oh? Since you've made this choice, so be it!" Su Yuan said indifferently.

Star Dust Daoist gave up occupying the Star Laws of the Immortal-Demon Realm Sea, instead directly using the strand of Law Origin Essence bestowed by Su Yuan as foundation to begin evolving his Hunyuan Dao Fruit.

Su Yuan waved his hand and transferred him to the Seven Stars Realm—he couldn't let him break through in the Banyan World, otherwise this treasure land would be discovered.

Star Dust Daoist appeared in the Seven Stars Realm.

The Heavenly Dao immediately locked onto him, because Star Dust Daoist's cultivation realm had long exceeded the Seven Stars Realm's upper limit.

The Heavenly Dao Eye manifested above Star Dust Daoist's head, its pupil flashing with vast amounts of Violet Heaven Divine Thunder, yet it hesitated to descend.

Spatial cracks appeared throughout the sky above the Seven Stars Realm—the entire world was about to collapse from the pressure unconsciously emitted by Star Dust Daoist.

Yet the Heavenly Dao Eye could do nothing against Star Dust Daoist;

striking with heavenly punishment would only bring humiliation upon itself.

The Seven Stars Realm was currently only a top-tier spirit world, completely unable to withstand the presence of a Hunyuan Golden Immortal.

At this critical moment, Su Yuan's will descended.

Su Yuan, who stood equal with the Heavenly Dao, supported the entire law system of the Seven Stars Realm with his powerful mid-stage Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal will.

Su Yuan's formidable will replaced the Heavenly Dao's will, providing support for the entire Seven Stars Realm!

The Heavenly Dao only needed to cheer from the sidelines, not needing to exert any effort at all.

The Heavenly Dao Eye manifested above Star Dust Daoist's head, its pupil flashing with vast amounts of Violet Heaven Divine Thunder, yet it hesitated to descend.

Su Yuan smiled faintly, and with a thought, the fortune above the Seven Stars Sect's Floating Light Pot surged, feeding back to the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao seemed to receive powerful nourishment—the heavenly law network became many times more complex, and the Heavenly Dao's pressure rapidly increased.

Star Dust Daoist's fortune was connected to the Seven Stars Sect, and the Seven Stars Sect's fortune was connected to the Seven Stars Realm's Heavenly Dao.

In a sense, Star Dust Daoist was part of the Seven Stars Realm. His strength would feed back to the Seven Stars Realm, not destroy it.

However, this feedback required a process. Without Su Yuan's support, the Seven Stars Realm would collapse before it could withstand Star Dust Daoist's feedback.

It could be said that the Seven Stars Realm Heavenly Dao's previous grant of [Seven Stars Supreme] authority to Su Yuan was an immensely profitable transaction.

Star Dust Daoist's Dao-proving process finally concluded.

A Hunyuan unified aura rapidly rose from Star Dust Daoist's body and spread throughout the Realm Sea!

In countless worlds, experts at Golden Immortal level and above raised their heads in shock.

An extremely brilliant star abruptly appeared in the starry sky, shining throughout the Immortal, Demon, and Netherworld Realms!

Countless cultivators felt the immense pressure and had to lower their heads, celebrating the emergence of a mighty expert.

Meanwhile, the mighty experts sensed this and immediately flew toward the source of the rising aura.

In the Realm Sea, numerous mighty experts' avatars crossed space and soon arrived outside the Seven Stars Realm.

From the Celestial Court side, aside from the secluded Zhuyuan Great Emperor, the other twelve mighty experts all sent avatars to observe.

Hunyuan experts like Taiyi Sage Lord, Daoist Xuanqing, and Heavenly Sword Master arrived one by one.

The True Dragon, Phoenix, White Tiger, and Mystic Turtle clans each sent an avatar to investigate.

The Demon Realm side also had many mighty experts arrive.

However, everyone tacitly agreed to only send their avatars.

This was respect for the newly advanced Hunyuan.

There was an unwritten rule between Immortal and Demon Realms: no one could attack a newly advanced Hunyuan, as this helped newcomers.

Of course, this was just an unspoken rule—if there was enmity, revenge would still be taken on the spot...

Numerous avatars cast their gazes, and then they saw a young man standing in the starry sky of the Seven Stars Realm, smiling as he looked at the gathered mighty experts.

He declared his first words after proving the Dao of Hunyuan to the surrounding mighty experts and to the Three Realms and various major worlds:

"This humble Daoist is Star Dust Daoist, elder of the Seven Stars Sect. Today I prove the Dao of Hunyuan. May the Seven Stars shine eternally upon the world!"

His words echoed throughout the Immortal-Demon Realm Sea. Countless cultivators learned of Star Dust Daoist's existence, this newly advanced mighty expert's name, and simultaneously learned of the Seven Stars Sect's name!

Many cultivators who knew of the Seven Stars Sect were especially astonished, finding it utterly unbelievable.

Within the Seven Stars Sect, Hidden Star Golden Immortal looked dumbfounded at the cultivator in the sky, muttering in confusion: "When did our sect gain a mighty expert elder?"

"I'm also a Seven Stars Sect elder now—isn't it somewhat taboo to share the same status as this great expert?"

His expression revealed confusion, joy, and nervousness.

However, everyone tacitly agreed to only send their avatars.

Hidden Star (formerly Plucking Star) Golden Immortal's mouth twitched: "Can it be the same? I'm only at Golden Immortal realm now!"

"That is indeed low!" Su Yuan frowned.

"Uh..." Hidden Star Golden Immortal smiled awkwardly.

Su Yuan flipped his hand and took out a pill, handing it to him: "Swallow this. First advance to Great Luo, then we'll talk!"

"This is..." Hidden Star Immortal Lord's eyes widened.

"Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, the pinnacle treasure of alchemy. Swallowing one immediately achieves Great Luo! Of course, it's only the most basic Great Luo—you'll still need to comprehend laws to build foundation afterward, but it's sufficient for a Seven Stars Sect elder!" Su Yuan said.

Hidden Star Immortal Lord took a deep breath, snatched the pill, and swallowed it!

The Nine Revolutions Golden Pill naturally integrated into Hidden Star Immortal Lord's body, causing earth-shaking changes to his physical body, magic power, and soul.

To his amazement, his cultivation actually reached early-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal. Aside from lacking in law comprehension, he could already be considered a great supernatural power!

And having reached this realm, making up for deficiencies in law comprehension would yield hundredfold results with half the effort!

Within the Seven Stars Sect, Hidden Star Golden Immortal looked dumbfounded at the cultivator in the sky, muttering in confusion: "When did our sect gain a mighty expert elder?"

Song Cai watched from the side with great envy.

Su Yuan casually promoted his Heavenly Divine Position to Great Luo Golden Immortal level.

This was called universal celebration. With a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal emerging in the sect, they couldn't be too shabby—having two Great Luo Golden Immortals for show was enough. As for others, they could cultivate slowly on their own.

Song Cai said joyfully: "I kowtow in gratitude to the Patriarch!"

Su Yuan nodded and continued looking toward the sky.

At this moment.

Star Dust Daoist had already begun conversing with the various mighty experts.

The Celestial Court representative, Yuan Shui Heavenly Venerable, spoke first: "I am the Celestial Court's Yuan Shui Heavenly Venerable. I congratulate Fellow Daoist Star Dust on proving the Dao of Hunyuan. On behalf of the Celestial Court, I invite Fellow Daoist to join the Celestial Court. You will immediately receive a acquired supreme treasure as reward!"

Star Dust Daoist smiled calmly: "This humble Daoist is an elder of the Seven Stars Sect, subordinate to the Seven Stars Dao Sovereign. I have no intention of joining the Celestial Court!"

Yuan Shui Heavenly Venerable was taken aback: "Subordinate to the Seven Stars Dao Sovereign?"

"Exactly!" Star Dust Daoist said composedly.

"Might the Seven Stars Dao Sovereign be within the sect?" Yuan Shui Heavenly Venerable asked somewhat surprised, looking toward the Seven Stars Realm.

"Naturally he is!" Star Dust Daoist said lightly, "However, the Dao Sovereign is currently in secluded cultivation and cannot receive guests!"

Yuan Shui Heavenly Venerable frowned, seemingly very surprised by Star Dust Daoist's response.

Golden Fur King said in amazement: "You're already a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal, yet you still acknowledge that Seven Stars Dao Sovereign as your leader? Is he also a mighty expert?"

"Exactly!" Star Dust Daoist confirmed.

Golden Fur King raised his eyebrows: "So your Seven Stars Sect has two mighty experts guarding it. This already makes you the fourth ranked superpower in the Immortal Realm!"

He was extremely surprised—a superpower had emerged so quietly.

His main body immediately ordered demons to gather information, and soon demons came to report.

"Great King, according to previously collected intelligence, the Seven Stars Sect's Seven Stars Dao Sovereign is rumored to be the reincarnation of a mighty expert. His previously displayed cultivation was only at Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, and moreover, he's human!"

"Human?" Golden Fur King's expression changed.

As a demon race leader, the demon race had suppressed humans for countless years. Now that a human mighty expert had emerged, along with another mighty expert subordinate, the situation immediately became delicate.

He immediately ordered changes in attitude toward humans, returning some occupied territories to them.

This wasn't fear of the Seven Stars Dao Sovereign—it was simply recognition of strength. With what level of strength comes what level of status.
