When Su Qian saw the Tai Chi Realm creation rule displayed by Su Yuan, he was utterly dumbfounded.

He had been busy refining supreme treasures inside the Chaos Pearl to upgrade his grade, completely unaware of when Su Yuan had advanced to the Tai Chi Realm!

He originally thought he had surpassed Su Yuan, but it turned out to be nothing but an illusion.

However, he quickly became excited—after devouring these four supreme treasures, his abilities would become even stronger.

"After you advance to a Tai Chi Supreme Treasure, when I use you for refining equipment again, both speed and quality should improve another level!" Su Yuan said with satisfaction.

"I will devote all my efforts to refining and assist my master with all my strength!" Su Qian exclaimed excitedly.

"Hmm!"

Su Yuan nodded calmly.

Next, Su Yuan began helping the Myriad Treasures Heaven-Earth Cauldron advance into the ranks of Tai Chi Supreme Treasures.

In the chaos.

A Chaos Ark was drifting aimlessly.

Yuan Yuan stood at the ship's bow with an unpleasant expression, gazing toward the direction of the Immortal-Demon Realm Sea.

His four teammates nearby looked somewhat helpless.

This time they had suffered a massive humiliation.

"Captain, what should we do?" one team member asked.

Yuan Yuan remained silent for a moment before saying, "Request reinforcements. The other nearby vanguard teams should have finished handling their targets by now. Summon them to deal with this Realm Sea together!"

"Captain, I feel we can handle this Realm Sea ourselves. The main issue was that we were too conspicuous when we first entered. We should have waited for a while, let the adaptation period pass, and restored our full combat power before engaging them!"

Yuan Yuan glanced at them. "Now you know about strategy? Why didn't you mention this earlier? Those guys are definitely on guard now. There's no chance for adaptation anymore. Just call people over and suppress them with overwhelming force! It's just one failure—I, Yuan Yuan, am not afraid to admit defeat."

After speaking, he immediately sent distress messages to the several teams nearby.

"Wait! It will take them some time to finish their respective missions!"

After saying this, Yuan Yuan returned inside the flying ship and entered a cultivation state.

The other four team members exchanged glances before each returned to their rooms to cultivate.

Time flows like merciless water, never to return.

In the blink of an eye, a thousand years had passed in the Immortal-Demon Realm Sea.

A thousand years, in any world, is synonymous with brevity.

But for the current Immortal-Demon Realm Sea, ten cycles of the Seven Stars Secret Realm had already passed.

Each time the Seven Stars Sect's Seven Stars Secret Realm opened, the most elite talents from across the entire Realm Sea would enter to attempt proving their Dao and achieving Hunyuan. As time passed, more and more people succeeded in proving their Dao.

This was because many from earlier batches who entered the secret realm didn't achieve Hunyuan during their initial attempt, but succeeded after several cycles. So the longer it went, naturally the number of successful Dao-provers increased.

It was another year of the secret realm's opening day.

A group of geniuses gathered in the Seven Stars Sect's plaza, waiting.

They all looked forward to entering the secret realm and seeing how many people would succeed in proving their Dao and achieving Hunyuan.

Su Yuan had modified the departure time after Hunyuan Dao-proving, making them all appear together in the transmission portal at the same time, saving the trouble of repeatedly opening the transmission portal.

Zhuyuan Great Emperor's avatar stood on a cloud platform, calmly saying, "Fellow Daoists, care to make a bet on how many will prove their Dao and achieve Hunyuan Great Luo this time?"

Beside Zhuyuan Great Emperor sat Taiyi Sage Lord, Epoch Primordial Dragon, Daoist Xuanqing, Heavenly Sword Master, and Golden Fur King—five individuals whose auras had clearly reached the Hunyuan Tai Chi realm!

Including Zhuyuan Great Emperor himself, that made six Tai Chi Realm powerhouses!

Comparable to the Realm Sea's strongest from a thousand years ago.

But now, Tai Chi Realm experts weren't limited to just their small group. There were seven similar cloud platforms nearby, each with varying numbers of Tai Chi Realm powerhouses!

On one platform alone, six Tai Chi powerhouses from humanity appeared!

On the demon world's cloud platform, eight Tai Chi Realm powerhouses were present!

"Probably around 900," Taiyi Sage Lord said calmly. "The Seven Stars Sect's foundation is quite deep, and the opportunities they obtain are just too numerous!"

"Can't be helped. This is a secret realm opened by their own family, so naturally they provide greater assistance," Taiyi Sage Lord said indifferently.

Zhuyuan Great Emperor smiled. "I estimate about a thousand!"

"A thousand? That's quite a difference!" Golden Fur King didn't believe it.

"Hehe, don't forget—among the first batch of Seven Stars Sect disciples who entered the secret realm, there were over six thousand Great Luo Golden Immortals. Now after more than ten cycles, nearly two hundred billion years have passed inside! Surely many have broken through to Hunyuan," Zhuyuan Great Emperor said with a laugh.

"Indeed," Heavenly Sword Master nodded.

"Time is almost up," Epoch Primordial Dragon announced.

Everyone looked over.

They saw Gu Qingzhu arriving before the secret realm portal, proclaiming loudly: "I am Seven Stars Sect Leader Gu Qingzhu. Without further ado, please let those who have proven their Dao and achieved Hunyuan exit the Seven Stars Secret Realm first!"

As his words fell.

The portal opened wide!

One terrifying existence after another, each radiating the aura of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortals, flew out from the portal one by one!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

With each figure's appearance, purple clouds drifted across heaven and earth. The more people emerged, the wider the purple clouds spread, covering thousands upon thousands of miles in a breathtaking spectacle!

But everyone's focus remained on the number of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortals.

They saw many Hunyuan powerheads heading toward their respective factions after emerging, with the largest number—about six out of every ten—landing within the Seven Stars Sect.

"Haha, I finally made it to Dao-proving!" Gu You laughed heartily, walking out of the secret realm gate with an arrogant expression.

For a moment, he was brimming with pride and ambition.

But the instant he stepped out of the portal, all his hairs stood on end as he sensed an intense life-or-death crisis!

Looking up, he saw numerous Tai Chi Realm great existences observing him.

He gasped sharply: "Tai Chi Realm? All Tai Chi Realm? How are there so many?"

A quick scan revealed over thirty Tai Chi Realm powerhouses!

He was completely bewildered. Did this mean Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortals no longer counted as first-tier great powers?

Returning to the Seven Stars Sect's team, when he saw the number of Hunyuan Great Luo experts had reached four to five thousand, he was speechless. He originally thought he could become an elder, but looking at this situation now, he probably wouldn't even qualify as a regular elder.

"One thousand and one!" Taiyi Sage Lord exclaimed in amazement.

"The numbers are indeed growing larger and larger!" Daoist Xuanqing shook his head with a wry smile. "Back when a single Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal was born, it was enough to cause a sensation throughout the Realm Sea. Who would have thought it wouldn't even cause a ripple now?"

"People get used to anything they see often enough," Zhuyuan Great Emperor said calmly.

He casually played with a Tai Chi Supreme Treasure in his hand, completely at ease.

Several newly-breakthrough Tai Chi Realm powerhouses nearby watched that supreme treasure with covetous eyes.

What they pursued now were Tai Chi Supreme Treasures, but they were currently impoverished and couldn't afford to commission Seven Stars Dao Sovereign for treasure refinement.

Taiyi Sage Lord couldn't help but sigh: "When will Seven Stars Dao Sovereign emerge from seclusion? I can't wait to venture into other Realm Seas!"

Zhuyuan Great Emperor also sighed: "This Emperor still owes a massive debt. If that batch of Tai Chi Realm experts hadn't escaped back then, capturing just one of them could have exchanged for substantial funds!"

"The invaders? More like treasure delivery boys! Will they come again?" Taiyi Sage Lord also said with anticipation.
