Gu You opened his eyes and found himself transported to a primordial wasteland.

The sky was layered with thick layers of innate gang energy, within which terrifying lightning bolts roamed about, making Gu You tremble with fear.

The earth was rising with dense innate earth essence, every wisp of which could be considered a treasure among treasures.

Gu You felt as if he had stumbled into a treasure land.

At the same time, he received a message from the void that he had nine reincarnation opportunities, and after nine times, he would completely perish, never to reincarnate again!

Others only had three chances, while he had six extra - this counted as a special privilege.

But Gu You also understood that too many escape routes would only breed complacency - he wanted to clear this with one life! To successfully prove the Hunyuan Dao in a single attempt!

A confident expression appeared on Gu You's face.

He looked up at the sky and saw a divine bird with enormous wings passing by, its wing flaps stirring up massive amounts of gang winds.

One of the outermost gang winds accidentally brushed against Gu You.

Everything went black before Gu You's eyes.

He looked around blankly and found himself in a dark place where many cultivators' souls were gathered.

Everyone exchanged bewildered glances before realizing where they had arrived.

Gu You said speechlessly, "I died just like that?"

His grand ambitions had turned into a wisp of smoke.

Death had come too suddenly!

Soon, a force of reincarnation enveloped Gu You's soul.

When he regained consciousness, he found he had transformed into an immortal herb.

The abundant innate earth essence in the land made his growth extremely easy.

But Gu You had already understood the terror of this world, so he quickly moved his position, hiding in a rock crevice to grow, and doing his best to conceal his aura.

In his second life, he managed to survive for seven hundred thousand years, with his cultivation advancing by leaps and bounds. With the help of powerful resources, he forcefully broke through to the Xuan Immortal realm.

Then, he was discovered by a divine bird and pecked to death.

Second life ended.

In his third life, Gu You successfully reincarnated as an innate divine beast, reaching the Golden Immortal realm at birth, and comprehending the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm with just a bit of cultivation.

Gu You cultivated freely in the world, and also discovered many high-quality immortal medicines and immortal beasts. Devouring them could accelerate his cultivation progress, and he guessed that some of them might be fellow sect members.

But better others die than himself - he needed everyone's help to enhance his strength. There was no other way, he could only offend them!

Fourth life...

Ninth life!

Gu You broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, but hid in a secret realm.

He cultivated bitterly within the secret realm without any intention of going out to gain experience, while simultaneously setting up ninety-nine layers of formations within the realm. He wore a complete set of top-grade spiritual treasures at all times and remained vigilant about spatial changes every moment.

Once someone with fate intruded into the secret realm, he would definitely strike with thunderous force, instantly annihilating them!

...

Su Yuan noticed something unusual.

Under the time acceleration, the Seven Stars Sect disciples' strength was indeed rapidly improving.

But he gradually discovered that these disciples had all become extremely sneaky - hiding whenever possible, ambushing when they could, going all out when killing enemies, extremely skilled at concealing themselves, and adept at playing weak to defeat the strong.

Why had they become like this?

Su Yuan didn't bother with it either - he still needed to comprehend the rules himself.

Comprehending rules was even more difficult than comprehending laws.

A hundred years passed in the outside world in the blink of an eye.

Inside the Chaos Pearl, 12.9 billion years had passed.

On the Seven Stars Sect's plaza.

Another hundred million prodigies had gathered.

They excitedly exchanged conversations.

"This time I finally got a spot!"

"Hahaha, the cultivation secret realm - what kind of world is that exactly?"

"I wonder what realm the prodigies from the previous round have reached by now. They should have broken through at least one major realm, right?"

"I'm not sure. I heard the time multiplier in the secret realm is extremely high - they should have cultivated for many years!"

Outside the plaza, large numbers of Seven Stars Sect disciples were also watching.

They all looked enviously at the hundred million disciples in the arena.

Suddenly, a portal opened.

Gu Qingzhu stepped out from within.

The aura from his body suddenly radiated out in all directions.

Everyone looked at Gu Qingzhu in shock.

That supreme holy majesty - they had once felt it from the Grand Elder, and now they were sensing it from Gu Qingzhu too!

How was this possible?

Gu Qingzhu smiled calmly at everyone: "I am Gu Qingzhu, having now broken through to the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. I am currently responsible for managing Chaotic Space-Time matters!"

He paused briefly, then continued: "Now please welcome the successfully cultivated disciples from the previous session to step forward!"

From within the portal, streams of escaping light immediately flew out.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of cultivators appeared above the entire plaza!

One hundred and eight cultivators, all radiating the surging aura of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortals.

Everyone throughout the entire Seven Stars Sect stared at this scene dumbfounded.

People from other sects observing nearby also immediately transmitted the news back to their sects, their expressions filled with disbelief.

Gu Qingzhu had long anticipated others' astonishment and didn't mind it.

He bowed respectfully toward the sky: "Please invite Seven Stars Patriarch to bestow honors upon the newly promoted elders!"

"We respectfully invite Seven Stars Patriarch!"

The one hundred and eight newly promoted Great Powers all bowed toward the sky.

Instantly, winds and clouds shifted.

In the void, Su Yuan's figure materialized once again.

He looked at the people below and smiled gently: "Today, I confer upon you the position of Seven Stars Sect Executive Elders, hoping you will continue to strive diligently and keep comprehending the Great Dao of cultivation."

All the cultivators showed expressions of gratitude.

"Thank you, Patriarch, for your blessings!"

Su Yuan waved his hand, and one hundred and eight elder tokens flew toward the cultivators.

They each received them, their expressions revealing satisfaction.

At this moment.

Zhuyuan Great Emperor's true body actually personally visited the Seven Stars Sect. He bowed very politely: "Greetings, Seven Stars Dao Sovereign!"

Su Yuan looked at Zhuyuan Great Emperor with confusion: "So it's Zhuyuan Great Emperor? May I ask what brings you here?"

Zhuyuan Great Emperor glanced at the hundred-plus confident Hunyuan Great Luo cultivators, inwardly grumbling incessantly. Why else would he come here if not because the commotion Su Yuan caused was too massive?

Creating over a hundred Great Powers in just a hundred years - this was an inconceivably grand feat for Zhuyuan Great Emperor!

One hundred and eight people, all having broken through by refining Law Root Qi - this was simply outrageously extravagant!

Zhuyuan Great Emperor took a deep breath and said: "I heard that you, fellow Daoist, have opened up a world with hundred-million-fold time acceleration. In my Celestial Court, there are some cultivators who also need this time-accelerated space. I wonder if you could extend some convenience and allow the cultivators belonging to the Celestial Court to also enter for cultivation!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan showed a strange expression: "I've placed massive resources inside, including quite a lot of Law Root Qi. Are you planning to freeload on my resources?"
