The moment the mutation selection succeeded,
Su Yuan’s consciousness flickered, suddenly appearing in the void. His awareness was nine parts intact, each merging into one of the nine stars of the Big Dipper.
Su Yuan seemed to have become the consciousness of the Big Dipper stars, vaguely sensing their operational state. He even had the illusion that he could modify the Big Dipper’s orbital path.
He did not act rashly but carefully savored this change.
His consciousness looked downward from the perspective of the Big Dipper stars.
He saw that the void where the Big Dipper resided seemed to exist within a higher dimension. Starlight passed through dimensional space, illuminating countless worlds.
These worlds were extremely numerous, countless as dust particles, but among them were several enormous worlds that stood out prominently. He saw the Immortal Realm, the Demon Realm, the Underworld, and even more worlds at similar levels in the distance!
However, some kind of barrier prevented him from seeing further.
His consciousness instantly retracted back into his body.
Su Yuan’s comprehension suddenly increased by dozens of times!This was the mutation effect of Daoist Techniques Naturally. Previously, he had replicated some simple Daoist techniques onto the Tian Shu Star. Now, with countless living beings cultivating by referencing those techniques, Su Yuan’s comprehension had thus increased out of thin air!
Meanwhile, his internal magical power was also increasing spontaneously!
A vast number of living beings were cultivating by relying on the Big Dipper stars. Each of their advancements caused a corresponding advancement in Su Yuan. Although their cultivation was far inferior to Su Yuan’s, the sheer number of cultivators caused his cultivation to rise at a remarkable speed!
With both effects combined, Su Yuan’s future was assured!
At this moment, the Heaven and Earth Authority called Big Dipper Star Lord within his sea of consciousness underwent a miraculous transformation.
When the transformation ended,
the Heaven and Earth Authority of Big Dipper Star Lord had advanced to Big Dipper Supreme!
This change was nothing short of epic.
From the title Seven-Star Supreme, it was clear that the Supreme authority was almost the highest Heaven and Earth Authority possible.
Su Yuan could now rightfully call himself the Lord of the Big Dipper. The name Seven-Star Daoist Sovereign was well-deserved!
This entire transformation occurred silently, unnoticed by outsiders.
Su Yuan did not rush to display anything due to the mutation, nor did he leave behind more profound Daoist technique inheritances on Tian Shu Star.
There were too many strong figures in the world, and the Big Dipper had always hung high in the sky, inevitably drawing the attention of great powers. Any drastic changes would cause unnecessary trouble.
It was better to quietly grow wealth and power steadily, then silently amaze everyone later!
Then, Su Yuan checked the fourth entry.
Mind Echo could also be modified now.
Mind Echo: Your reputation is extremely high. Whenever any living being sincerely chants your name, you can sense it and perceive the situation within a certain range of the target.
Su Yuan pondered briefly and deleted the two characters meaning "sincerely."
Mind Echo: Your reputation is extremely high. Whenever any living being chants your name, you can sense it and perceive the situation within a certain range of the target.
By successfully deleting the words meaning “sincerely,” now just casually thinking the name or a fleeting thought could attract Su Yuan’s attention!
Crucially, immortals and above had extremely fast minds, capable of dividing thoughts into thousands and simultaneously thinking about hundreds or thousands of things!
Thus, triggering Mind Echo became extremely easy!
Sure enough,
after the successful modification, the threads of his Mind Echo increased in number by a hundredfold!
This was an incredibly terrifying upgrade!
He sensed that his original Mind Echo connection to Captain Feilian and Captain Feipeng had been severed, but now it was reconnected!
With a thought, he linked back.
His consciousness arrived in a chaotic spatial flow.
Inside a flying ship, the real body of Captain Feipeng, along with a Taiyi Golden Immortal and thirty-two Golden Immortal experts, was stationed outside a huge void island.
Seeing this, Su Yuan immediately realized that this was the secret realm Captain Feipeng had mentioned!
Earlier, Captain Feipeng said he needed to suppress his legion and couldn’t personally visit this place. This scene was solid proof that Feipeng had problems!
On the surface, Captain Feipeng only displayed an avatar, showing cultivation at the peak Golden Immortal level, but in reality, his true body was hidden within the avatar.
At the ship’s bow, Feipeng’s avatar looked toward Kong Ming and said, “Has the invited Immortal King arrived?”
“Almost here. Immortal King Changqing will arrive in one hour!” Kong Ming replied promptly.
“Good.”
Feipeng glanced at another early-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal beside him. “Deputy Captain Zhuang, this secret realm exploration depends on you and Immortal King Changqing. My avatar’s cultivation is limited and may not be able to help much!”
Zhuang Seping said calmly, “Captain, rest assured, I will do my best to complete this exploration!”
“Mm.” Captain Feipeng nodded slightly, a faint killing intent flickering in his eyes.
Soon, a flying ship approached. A middle-aged cultivator exuding immense righteousness stood by the railing. He wore the attire of a scholar, a gentleman’s sword hung at his side, and he toyed with a jade ruyi in his hand, radiating an extraordinarily gentle aura.
Feipeng immediately shouted, “Hahaha, Immortal King Changqing has arrived as promised. Truly trustworthy!”
The gentle middle-aged cultivator smiled lightly, “Captain Feipeng’s invitation—how could I be negligent?”
“Haha, please come aboard for a chat!” Feipeng invited.
Immortal King Changqing laughed heartily and stepped onto the flying ship.
Three Taiyi Golden Immortals entered a room to discuss matters while Kong Ming served tea to them.
Captain Feipeng spoke first, “This secret realm was discovered by me unexpectedly. The entire realm is shrouded by a Taiyi-level formation, the Nine Suns Radiant Heaven Array! This formation is still operating but has many loopholes due to its age. Over the years, I have studied it carefully and found a passage to enter the secret realm through the formation.”
He paused, then continued, “I once entered once with my avatar. Inside was a collapsed building complex. This should have been an old nest of a Taiyi-level force. There should still be treasures at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level remaining. I can’t leave now and fear others might discover this secret realm. We must excavate it quickly just in case, so I specially invited Immortal King Changqing to assist!”
Hearing this, Immortal King Changqing suddenly understood, “So it’s an old nest of a Taiyi-level force. Looks like we can gain a lot this time. Many thanks, Captain Feipeng, for this opportunity!”
Feipeng laughed, “We are all part of the Immortal Realm. Helping each other is natural. If I gain treasures smoothly and you contribute, you’ll also benefit. It’s a win-win!”
Immortal King Changqing laughed heartily, “Captain Feipeng is straightforward!”
Deputy Captain Zhuang Seping asked, “Captain, are you really sure it’s just a Taiyi-level force? The void island seems too large!”
Feipeng’s heart tightened, but his expression remained calm, “As far as we can tell, it should be a Taiyi-level force, but probably a strong one. Can you tell from the outside? The defensive power of this array is at the Taiyi level.”
Changqing nodded, “I just observed for a while. It’s indeed a Taiyi-level defensive formation, even on the lower side of Taiyi-level.”
Hearing this, Zhuang Seping’s vague worries eased.
The three continued discussing details to ensure the secret realm expedition went smoothly.
A full three days later,
the treasure-hunting expedition officially set out.
The team of thirty-two Golden Immortals, two Taiyi Golden Immortals, plus an avatar of a Taiyi Golden Immortal formed a luxurious lineup!
Captain Feipeng arrived at a weak point of the formation. After casting thousands of spiritual runes continuously, the formation actually cracked open a narrow passage.
The cultivators immediately passed through the passage and soon disappeared inside the formation.
After some time,
ripples appeared outside the formation again.
A pitch-black demon ship slowly approached.
Captain Feilian smiled at his deputy captain and an invited Demon King, “This is the secret realm I mentioned. It should be a Taiyi-level Golden Demon’s dojo inside. I am stuck with my legion and can’t leave. This exploration requires your joint effort!”
“Hahaha, no problem at all!” Demon King Miesha said confidently. “Captain Feilian, rest assured, I have explored hundreds of secret and dangerous places. A Taiyi dojo is a piece of cake for me!”
“Haha, Demon King Miesha, brave indeed.” Feilian then looked at the deputy captain, “Deputy Captain Hunli, this time I’m counting on you!”
Deputy Captain Hunli said calmly, “I want thirty percent of the treasure. Captain, is that alright?”
“Haha, naturally. You each get thirty percent. I get thirty percent. The remaining ten percent goes to other Golden Demons arriving. I’m only an avatar here, providing information but freeloading on this thirty percent. Don’t be unhappy!”
“Haha, Captain Feilian, you are too polite!” Demon King Miesha laughed again.
After some idle chat,
Feilian went to another weak spot in the formation, cast runes, and opened a passage inside.
Then over thirty demon cultivators entered in single file.
Once both teams had entered,
Su Yuan’s body appeared out of thin air in the spatial turbulence.
He looked at the two groups entering with a puzzled expression, feeling something odd in his heart.
“What exactly is going on with Feipeng and Feilian? Feels like they’re setting up a grand play!”
Su Yuan’s consciousness arrived at Captain Feipeng’s location.
On the Immortal Realm side, the team had already reached the outer layer.
They were blocked by a formation and still breaking through.
Su Yuan pondered briefly, recalling the formation runes Feipeng and Feilian cast earlier, then looked at the formation in front of him. The more he looked, the more shocked he became.
“This isn’t a Taiyi-level formation. This is obviously a Great Luo-level Nine Suns Spirit Devouring Array! But it’s so old that its power has degraded to the early to mid-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal level.”
