Seven Stars Sect.

The Immortal Lord personally came to visit.

Su Yuan received the Immortal Lord.

"Should I call you Star Ancestor, or Seven Stars Dao Sovereign?" the Immortal Lord asked with a smile.

Su Yuan smiled back: "Should I call you Lord of the Immortal Realm, or Five Elements Ancestor Qi Tongjun? Or perhaps the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Root Five Elements Spiritual Tree?"

The Immortal Lord's expression stiffened.

"You actually managed to uncover my origins?" The Immortal Lord narrowed his eyes.

"Likewise!" Su Yuan replied with a beaming smile.

The Immortal Lord remained silent for a moment before saying, "In that case, I ask you, fellow daoist, to help me refine a Five Elements Tai Chi Supreme Treasure!"

"No problem, but do you need a single supreme treasure with five elements attributes, or a supreme treasure set composed of five individual treasures?" Su Yuan asked.

"Oh?" The Immortal Lord expressed surprise, "You can refine five treasures at once? The difficulty increases many times over!"

Su Yuan chuckled, "Within the God Realm Sea, I dare claim my artifact refining abilities are second to none!"

"Good, I'll trust you this once!"

The Immortal Lord's desire for supreme treasures was extremely intense.

If he had compatible supreme treasures, his combat power would immediately surpass the Demon Lord's, giving him an innate position of invincibility!

Su Yuan accepted a large quantity of Heavenly Dao-level materials from the Immortal Lord, each piece of astonishing quality.

There was Twelve Heavens Breathing Soil, Twelve Lights Divine Water, Twelve Yang Divine Fire, Twelve Grade Golden Lotus Petals, Twelve Capital Evil Divine Light...

Every single item was remarkable material.

For example, the Twelve Heavens Breathing Soil could independently evolve into the soil of a major world! In the hands of a powerful expert, it could even evolve into an eternal world comparable to the Three Realms, its preciousness can be imagined.

A single piece taken alone was comparable in value to dozens of lower-grade Acquired Supreme Treasures.

Su Yuan inspected each material one by one, then stored them in the [Tear of Eternity].

He said, "Come collect them in one hundred years!"

"One hundred years?" The Immortal Lord was astonished, "How is that possible?"

Su Yuan calmly waved his hand, time rule power spreading around them. Tender sprouts quickly emerged from the ground, then grew into young plants.

In just a short moment, an empty stretch of land transformed into a forest—this was the mighty power of time!

The Immortal Lord understood.

Su Yuan waved his hand again, and the power of time descended once more. Space-time began to reverse, and the forest that had just formed reverted back to flat ground in mere moments.

Time reversal!

The Immortal Lord gave Su Yuan a deep look, then turned and left.

After the Immortal Lord departed.

Su Yuan seemed to sense something and took out the Fate Compass.

Just moments before when he activated time power, he vaguely received prompts for the entries [Corridor of Time] and [Duty in Peril].

He sensed that a future crisis had arrived.

"Huh, coming to cause me trouble again?"

Su Yuan was somewhat surprised.

Originally, the calamity crisis of the God Realm Sea had been coincidentally resolved through Little Cai's method.

He thought his opponent would wait until the God Realm Sea matter was completely settled before coming after him again, but he didn't expect the second wave of attacks would begin now.

Su Yuan took out the [Chaos Pearl] and [Fate Compass], activated the [Great Power Bearing] state, and began deducing future scenes.

A River of Time flowed out from Su Yuan's soul, connecting to the River of Time of the Immortal-Demon Realm Sea.

Using his own time power, he leveraged the time rule power of the Immortal-Demon Realm Sea!

Thus, he saw future scenes—an army composed of Hunyuan Great Powers forcefully charging into the Immortal-Demon Realm Sea, beginning ruthless slaughter, killing all Great Powers within the Immortal-Demon Realm Sea, and ultimately destroying the entire Immortal-Demon Realm Sea itself.

And when the Immortal-Demon Realm Sea was destroyed, Su Yuan felt as if he had lost his support and foundation, and danger would then descend upon him.

"The Immortal-Demon Realm Sea cannot fall!"

Su Yuan's eyes flashed as he looked toward the interior of the Seven Stars Sect.

At this time, the number of Seven Stars Sect disciples could be described as countless, and the Seven Stars Market had already spread throughout the entire Immortal-Demon Realm Sea.

They had built a superpower through commerce!

Su Yuan summoned Sect Leader Gu Qingzhu, Market Manager Song Cai, and External Affairs Elder Yin Xing.

"Disciples pay respects to Seven Stars Patriarch!"

The three immediately bowed to Su Yuan.

Su Yuan waved his hand: "I called you here to give you a task!"

Gu Qingzhu looked at Su Yuan expectantly.

Su Yuan said calmly: "I need you to select one hundred million promising candidates with potential to advance to Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal. Their current cultivation level doesn't matter—what's important is having potential in this aspect. I will lead them into a secret realm for cultivation. Do you understand this task?"

Gu Qingzhu stared blankly: "This... we don't know either who has the potential to break through to Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal!"

Su Yuan spread his hands: "Don't ask me, figure it out yourselves. I only want results."

Song Cai nodded thoughtfully: "This disciple understands!"

Yin Xing was somewhat confused and looked at Song Cai.

Song Cai gave him a look that said "keep calm."

Gu Qingzhu could only nod as well.

Su Yuan soon disappeared.

The three returned to the sect main hall.

Gu Qingzhu couldn't help but ask: "Old Song, what do you think?"

Song Cai said: "Since they are cultivators with Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal potential, it's actually quite obvious. Those who are invincible within their realm, or those who comprehend laws easily, naturally possess extremely high potential. We can't determine if they can truly break through to Hunyuan, but at least it's much easier for them compared to others in the same realm. So just by arranging some same-realm competition events, we can quickly identify candidates."

Yin Xing suddenly understood.

Song Cai continued: "Also, cultivators who have reached Golden Immortal or above all possess Hunyuan potential, so those above Golden Immortal don't need to compete. What we need to pay attention to are personnel at the Longevity Five Realms level. We just need to gather one hundred million people!"

Gu Qingzhu suddenly felt very stupid—such a simple matter actually required Song Cai's guidance. Business people really have sharp minds.

His eyes shifted as he said: "Actually, the Patriarch gave us some freedom of choice. Some people who had relationships with the Patriarch back then, regardless of whether they have potential, can all be selected! Although the Patriarch didn't explicitly say it, we must handle this properly. When the time comes, I'll bear the criticism for favoritism."

Song Cai looked at Gu Qingzhu with surprise—this sect leader definitely wasn't just for show.

Yin Xing felt his brain wasn't quite up to the task—how come he hadn't discerned so many things from that single task statement?

The three continued discussing for a while and soon reached their final decision.

Thus, not long after.

A message was transmitted to all disciples through the Seven Stars Market teleportation gates and the Seven Stars Sect disciple tokens.

[By order of the Seven Stars Patriarch: Selecting outstanding disciples to go to a secret realm for cultivation, to be personally trained by the Patriarch, with hope of reaching Hunyuan. Limited spots available. Compete for positions through contests, with priority given to top rankings!]
