Chapter 120: Insights into the Laws of Dao

Just one day later.

Su Yuan had comprehended over three thousand different laws of dao. Though each was only at the initial threshold level—just a strand or a few strands—the sheer quantity was astonishing!

In truth, Su Yuan hadn't deliberately sought to comprehend more laws. His main focus remained on the stellar laws, while the others were merely incidental insights that flashed through his mind.

Within Su Yuan's dantian,

The nine golden cores continued orbiting along the celestial path of the Big Dipper. But after successfully comprehending numerous laws,

Each golden core split off tiny golden specks.

These specks absorbed magical energy, gradually condensing into smaller golden cores!

Every small golden core bore the imprint of a law's dao pattern, exuding a wondrous aura.

The over three thousand small golden cores transformed into three thousand tiny stars, naturally orbiting around the central nine golden cores.

They automatically found their positions, moving in tandem with the Big Dipper formation as if they had always been part of it.

With the addition of three thousand tiny stars, the rotation speed of the nine large golden cores suddenly multiplied severalfold!

This was the phenomenon of the Lord of Multitudinous Stars.

The already incredibly fast circulation of magical energy accelerated yet again!

Su Yuan noticed these changes but paid them no mind.

His comprehension still focused primarily on stellar laws.

His consciousness entered the corridor of time,

Stepping into a temporal reflection.

He arrived at the Myriad Books Sea, his gaze settling on one particular cultivation inheritance:

"

Big Dipper Star Lord's Dao Attainment Method

, a mixed-origin golden immortal-level star lord attainment method. The Big Dipper consists of seven primeval stars with seven mixed-origin golden immortal fruition positions. Comprehending the stellar great dao and condensing the fortune of all realms can attain mixed-origin golden immortal fruition..."

Originally obscure and difficult to understand, the method's contents gradually became clear to Su Yuan.

This was a method perfectly aligned with the Big Dipper. It took the Big Dipper as its attainment goal, ultimately reaching mixed-origin golden immortal fruition. The method noted that all seven Big Dipper fruition positions were currently vacant and could be cultivated.

While this reassured Su Yuan, it also created urgency—many cultivators surely had their eyes on the Big Dipper!

Su Yuan didn't cultivate according to the method's instructions because he had already obtained a "heaven-earth status"—a higher-level position than "fruition."

"Fruition" merely represented dao attainment, proving one's great dao had reached a certain level by lodging one's dao fruit within it.

Whereas "heaven-earth status" meant dominion—direct control over the Big Dipper.

The two were fundamentally different yet also significantly conflicting.

For instance, Su Yuan could accept, reject, or strip away others' dao fruits attained through the Big Dipper. To those seeking attainment, this was no different than having a master above them.

This would inevitably lead to dao conflicts!

These thoughts flashed through his mind briefly.

Using this method as reference, Su Yuan continued comprehending stellar laws!

The method categorized pre-golden immortal comprehension targets as insights—comprehending 129,600 strands of laws would directly lead to golden immortal attainment.

After golden immortal, law cultivation shifted to law control—gradually fusing laws into 118 essential forms to attain Taiyi golden immortal, then fully fusing them into one to attain Great Luo golden immortal.

Beyond Great Luo, mixed-origin involved expanding stellar laws into the stellar great dao, with one dao merging ten thousand methods—this was mixed-origin!

Looking at the method, Su Yuan wondered: Why wait until fully comprehending before fusing?

Why not comprehend and fuse simultaneously?

This was because law fusion was extremely difficult. Before golden immortal, cultivators faced lifespan limits. Golden immortals had near-endless lifespans, allowing time for fusion. Without reaching golden immortal early, one risked lifespan exhaustion—why would normal cultivators attempt fusion?

But Su Yuan had no lifespan concerns, so he decided to comprehend and fuse simultaneously.

The Big Dipper revealed its mysteries to him. Standing mentally on Tian Shu Star, comprehending the star itself, stellar laws practically laid themselves bare for his understanding.

129,600 strands formed one complete law.

In one day, Su Yuan astonishingly comprehended 3,000 strands of stellar laws.

Over the following days,

He comprehended another 6,000 strands, totaling 9,600 strands.

The more he comprehended, the harder it became.

So Su Yuan stopped seeking more strands and began combining his 9,600 stellar law strands according to the Big Dipper's movements, forming more complete law comprehensions.

However, the fusion process suddenly became hundreds, thousands of times harder!

Su Yuan responded decisively, activating his third [Work-Life Balance] trait.

His comprehension increased tenfold again, with cultivation time shortening to three days.

Law fusion accelerated dramatically.

Various law characteristics took shape one after another:

[Extreme Speed Characteristic]

[Radiant Characteristic]

[Mind Characteristic]

[Explosive Characteristic]

These characteristics represented different developmental directions of stellar laws.

Su Yuan accepted them all. Over the remaining three days, through layer upon layer of fusion, his 9,600 stellar law strands actually condensed into nine law essences, forming nine law dao inscriptions!

The nine inscriptions merged into Su Yuan's nine large golden cores.

The cores' surfaces became covered with incredibly complex law dao patterns.

The nine large golden cores shone with endless starlight in his dantian, illuminating the surrounding three thousand small golden cores.

Under this starlight, the small cores' law patterns actually grew slowly!

Faintly, Su Yuan sensed a hint of mixed-origin dao implication.

His path forward became much clearer—the immortal path had widened!

In his final cultivation time, using his current law comprehension, Su Yuan enhanced his self-created divine abilities and elevated several other techniques to corresponding divine ability levels.

All this was just his main body's cultivation.

Simultaneously, Su Yuan's second primordial spirit also benefited from the trait's effects.

The Thunder Spirit Giant avatar focused on comprehending thunder laws!

It similarly comprehended 9,600 thunder law strands but hit a wall at fusion. The heaven-covering thunder from before, despite its might, contained no fused law comprehension—a great disappointment.

So the Thunder Spirit Giant avatar turned to absorbing accumulated immortal thunder within.

Strand by strand, the immortal thunder was refined as the avatar's body began transforming into an immortal physique.

During this process, the second primordial spirit merged into every crystal of the immortal body, achieving complete integration.

This immortal physique transformation was extremely difficult, but under [Work-Life Balance], it proceeded smoothly.

Within days, all accumulated immortal thunder was consumed, and the second primordial spirit fully merged.

The Thunder Spirit Giant's body shone brightly, transforming from crystalline to flesh, gradually taking Su Yuan's form.

Finally, the transformation succeeded—the avatar now perfectly resembled a human!

Of course, Su Yuan could revert to Thunder Spirit Giant form for maximum combat power.

As Su Yuan's cultivation neared completion...

Right when he began cultivating,

Demonic cultivators in the Demon Realm reacted swiftly, as if preparing for years just waiting for this opportunity. They immediately expressed vehement displeasure at the Immortal Realm's provocation, mobilizing hundreds of millions of troops at the border within a day!

This alarmed Immortal Realm factions, who rushed to the border to condemn the Demon Realm for violating agreements.

But the Demon Realm claimed the Immortal Realm had violated first.

A Great Luo golden immortal-level demonic cultivator even eagerly charged across first, launching a suicidal attack.

Millions of immortal realm cultivators perished instantly, though the demonic cultivator was also killed by joint immortal efforts.

Within days,

A Great Luo golden immortal had fallen on the battlefield, escalating tensions dramatically!

Thus began a low-intensity war between the two realms (as long as supreme beings didn't intervene, it wasn't considered full-scale war—just minor skirmishes).

In the Immortal Origin Realm,

At a remote corner of a mortal nation,

Su Yuan's avatar arrived after traversing vast distances.

Four maids accompanied him, along with Su Da, Su Er, and Su San. He'd also brought the Myriad Treasures Heaven-Earth Cauldron.

Xiao Li and Little Cai stayed home to watch things.

Old Qian stood nearby, surprised: "Su Yuan, I didn't expect you'd dare go out! Aren't you afraid?"

Su Yuan rolled his eyes: "This is an avatar. If it's lost, no big deal. You're here in your real body—shouldn't you be afraid?"

Old Qian's expression changed, warily scanning their surroundings: "Where is this? The world feels incredibly stable, with dense spiritual energy!"

"The Immortal Realm."

"The Immortal Realm?!" Everyone gasped in shock.

"Isn't... isn't this dangerous?!" Su San stammered.

Su Yuan waved dismissively: "Relax. Not everyone in the Immortal Realm is an immortal. In fact, immortals are the minority—most are still mortals or mundane cultivators."

Hearing this, everyone relaxed.

With a wave, Su Yuan transformed the cauldron into an extravagant carriage with a spacious compartment for him and the four maids.

Su Da dutifully took the driver's seat while Su Er and Su San summoned spirit horses from beast pouches to flank the carriage.

"Let's head to the nearest town," Su Yuan said.

"Yes, master!" Su Da responded.

"Hyah!"

Su Da flicked the reins.

The horse rolled its eyes: "Su Da, are you stupid? That's me transformed!"

"Oh right, forgot!" Su Da chuckled awkwardly.

"Quit the act," Su Yuan said flatly. "You're right beside me. That's just your main body's illusion."

"Well... whatever." Old Qian grumbled.

Suddenly remembering something, Old Qian said: "What about that green ox? Your mount—have it pull the carriage."

Su Yuan paused, then mentally located his old ox mount. Having stayed home so long, he'd never used it—until now.

The ox appeared before them, bewildered as a horse draped reins over it.

Thus, the carriage became an ox cart.

"Wait! What's going on?" The ox turned, then quieted upon seeing Su Yuan.

The ox cart moved forward, nearing town when they spotted a crowd gathered by the river.
