After deducting the Epoch Primordial Dragon's lifespan, his aura showed no obvious fluctuations.

This made the Epoch Primordial Dragon say with some regret: "Quite the opposite - the more lifespan one has, the stronger the Path of Years becomes. While it won't weaken if reduced, becoming stronger becomes impossible!"

Yet he still said joyfully: "This truly is a great Dao supernatural ability related to the Time Dao! Hahaha, thank you!!"

He offered sincere thanks to Su Yuan.

Hearing this, Su Yuan said with a cheerful smile: "It's my honor to be able to help you, fellow Daoist!"

"By the way!" Su Yuan thought of something and said: "I used to raise some fish that leaped over the dragon gate and transformed into true dragons. I'd like to ask you to look after them!"

The Epoch Primordial Dragon was extremely surprised.

Following the information Su Yuan provided, he immediately located several young dragons in the True Dragon Realm, all still little dragons at the Heavenly Immortal realm. He never expected they had connections with the Seven Stars Dao Sovereign, even if they were just spirit fish raised by him that transformed into dragons - this still counted as having some connection!

"Hehe, I'll take care of those little ones!"

The Epoch Primordial Dragon laughed heartily several times.

The Taiyi Sage Lord's mouth twitched. Seeing the Epoch Primordial Dragon and Su Yuan chatting happily made him quite helpless. He had been extremely wary of the Seven Stars Dao Sovereign, but who would have thought that fellow Zhuzhao of the Epoch Primordial Dragon would so easily befriend Su Yuan? Ah, where was the Dragon Clan's backbone and pride? Had they fed it all to dogs?

The Taiyi Sage Lord stepped forward and inquired: "I also want to trade 100 billion Yuan Assembly!"

Su Yuan said with surprise: "You too? Actually, I suggest you cultivate for ten thousand years first, then come trade if you still need to!"

The Taiyi Sage Lord said indifferently: "No need, let's trade directly!"

Su Yuan was quite dissatisfied with the Taiyi Sage Lord's rest time. The rest time within this fellow's body was far less than the Epoch Primordial Dragon's, not even reaching a fraction. He usually cultivated too diligently - truly terrible! Didn't he understand the importance of balancing work and rest? Taking some breaks would be good too!

Su Yuan sighed and could only extract half the time energy needed for activation from the Taiyi Sage Lord's body. This was the most loss-making transaction he had ever done.

The more he looked at the Taiyi Sage Lord, the less pleased he felt.

The Taiyi Sage Lord also clearly sensed the instantaneous loss of his lifespan origin within his body. He instantly learned that his total lifespan was 3,300 kalpas, and having 3 kalpas of lifespan transferred away at once made the Taiyi Sage Lord immediately feel shortness of breath. This was worse than using treasures for exchange!

Unexpectedly, Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortals truly had lifespan limits, though these limits were extremely long. Perhaps the immeasurable kalpas would arrive before he had used up even one-tenth of his lifespan! And if he could survive the immeasurable kalpas, his realm wouldn't remain stagnant either - it would be a completely different scenario by then. In any case, lifespan simply wasn't important to him.

So the Taiyi Sage Lord directly asked: "Can lifespan be directly exchanged for ten-star coins, then use those ten-star coins for transactions in the Seven Stars Market?"

Su Yuan said in shock: "You want to directly sell your lifespan?"

"Correct!" the Taiyi Sage Lord stated frankly.

On the other side, the Youhe Demon Venerable who was about to return to his residence overheard this conversation and immediately became alert.

He was currently quite poor. Among the treasures previously stolen from him included public resources shared by the Demon Realm. Although only part of the materials were stolen from him, to compensate for the loss of public resources, he had contributed his other treasures as well. Now he could be described as extremely impoverished. Hearing that he could exchange for money, he immediately became interested.

Su Yuan also hesitated at this point.

If large amounts of star coins flooded the market, it would definitely affect the circulation of star coins, requiring massive resources to absorb these star coins.

And the spoils he had previously captured (stolen) could just be used to absorb these star coins.

However, some items among them had clear identifying marks. If he wanted to resell them, it seemed he could circulate them through the Realm of Gods Sea and Abyss Realm Sea, then the goods could be laundered.

Thinking of this, Su Yuan nodded: "Possible, no problem. Subsequently, I will list high-level goods in the Seven Stars Market - items that can meet the needs of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortals. If you're truly willing to exchange lifespan for star coins, I can do it here!"

The Youhe Demon Venerable immediately interjected: "Then I'll trade 2,000 kalpas of lifespan!"

The Taiyi Sage Lord gasped sharply, looking at the Youhe Demon Venerable as if seeing a monster. So ruthless?

Su Yuan also said in shock: "Are you sure? 2,000 kalpas of lifespan? This is an enormous amount!"

The Youhe Demon Venerable said calmly: "Correct!"

Su Yuan swallowed and said: "That would be 1.28 billion ten-star coins! This is a huge sum. I want to confirm again - do you want to purchase?"

"Confirmed!" the Youhe Demon Venerable stated affirmatively.

"I haven't even listed new goods yet?" Su Yuan couldn't help reminding again.

"I recognize fellow Daoist's capabilities, I believe in fellow Daoist's abilities!" the Youhe Demon Venerable said calmly.

He paused and asked: "In the future, can I use star coins to purchase lifespan?"

Su Yuan immediately felt numerous gazes turning toward him.

Clearly, many people had developed a sense of crisis regarding lifespan.

When Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortals discovered they weren't truly ageless and deathless, they all became extremely concerned about things like lifespan.

Su Yuan hesitated slightly and said: "Possible, but there will be a ten percent handling fee. That is to say, if you buy back, you'll need to pay an additional one-tenth of the price!"

The Youhe Demon Venerable said with serious expression: "Then there's nothing to hesitate about - I'm selling!"

What more could Su Yuan say? He immediately drafted a contract, finalizing this astonishing transaction of two thousand kalpas.

The Star Dust Daoist watching nearby was stunned. Why did it feel like things had taken a huge turn? Wasn't this supposed to be celebrating his breakthrough to Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal? How did it become about making transactions? And such super large transactions at that?

The contract was successfully signed right before the Star Dust Daoist's eyes.

2,000 billion kalpas of lifespan were gently extracted from the Youhe Demon Venerable's body.

The Youhe Demon Venerable could clearly feel that more than half of his origin had been lost, but soon this sensation disappeared. The origin within his body remained incredibly abundant, with 995 kalpas of lifespan remaining - still frighteningly long!

And in his hand appeared 1.28 billion ten-star coins! And they were credit currency.

The Youhe Demon Venerable hefted the star card in his hand and immediately felt his purse swell. This was the ultimate currency bound to the lifespan of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortals - it would become the most stable and constant currency in the three realms of immortals, demons, and underworld!

That is to say, from now on, he could use this currency to trade with other great powers - much more convenient than before.

Previously, when great powers traded among themselves, there was no stable currency - they always bartered with various materials. But from now on, this situation would change.

And the spoils he had previously captured (stolen) could perfectly be used to absorb these star coins.

He had originally planned to bind star coins to lifespan and rest time to stabilize the value of star coins, facilitating subsequent harvesting of lifespan, rest time, and other treasures!

He just hadn't planned to roll this out so quickly initially. But now that the Youhe Demon Venerable had set an example, he didn't mind directly entering this state.

With a true Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal like the Star Dust Daoist overseeing things, Su Yuan could act much more calmly and composedly.

Simultaneously, Su Yuan also obtained the two thousand kalpas of lifespan given by him.

This was a full two thousand kalpas of lifespan! The moment it surged into his body, the essence of his life underwent astonishing transformation!

The [Duty in Peril] entry allowed Su Yuan to easily bear this enormous lifespan. To match this vast amount of lifespan, his body would automatically transform toward a higher level of life under the entry's influence.

That is - Chaos Life!

Legend says that some lifeforms emerge from the chaos beyond the Realm Sea, born with bodies at the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal level. Such lifeforms break through to Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal with ease - they are natural Hunyuan, collectively called Chaos Lifeforms!

There are rumors that among the great powers of the immortal and demon realms, several originate from Chaos Lifeforms, with peerlessly powerful bodies.

And Su Yuan, because of this vast lifespan, had no choice but to transform toward a Chaos Lifeform!

Since he wasn't yet a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal, he couldn't use a Dao fruit to bear this massive lifespan. The only solutions were body explosion or physical breakthrough!

With his entry, he didn't need to worry about exploding to death. Instead, under the entry's effect, his physique underwent astonishing transformation, with Great Dao runes beginning to flow within his bloodline!

The Dao patterns of the Starry Dao Road turned into droplets of blood flowing within Su Yuan's body. He seemed to have become a favorite of the Starry Dao Road, with the blood of the Great Dao flowing within him!

On his bones appeared natural Great Dao restrictions, elevating his bones toward the direction of supreme treasures.

One after another, Great Dao restrictions naturally entered the interior of his bones, nurturing new Great Dao blood!

"Confirmed!" the Youhe Demon Venerable stated affirmatively.

Possessing such vast lifespan was also a means to break through to Hunyuan.

Actually, this was somewhat similar to reversing cause and effect.

Achieving such lifespan required extremely high realm or extremely powerful body - the latter being the cause, the former being the effect.

But Su Yuan obtained the effect out of nowhere, forcing himself to transform toward the cause!

"It seems [Duty in Peril] contains not only the power of Time Dao and Life Dao, but also the power of Causality Dao within it!"

Su Yuan realized this point. The power of the entry was even more profound than he imagined.

The Causality Dao was one of the heaven-defying Daos, among the most difficult Daos to master in the world, renowned alongside the Space-Time Dao, Fate Dao, and other great Daos!

If the [Duty in Peril] entry also contained the power of causality, no wonder it could transform him into such a state.

The Youhe Demon Venerable's action set an excellent example. Other great powers also traded lifespan with Su Yuan to varying degrees, though the combined amount didn't reach one-tenth of what the Youhe Demon Venerable alone traded. This showed how generous the Youhe Demon Venerable was!
