Su Yuan transformed into a ray of starlight and soared into the sky.
Seven falling stars circled around him, growing larger and larger, until Su Yuan was no longer visible, only seven massive falling stars, soaring into the sky, rushing into the clouds, and disappearing without a trace.
Many Cultivators imprinted this scene in their Sea of Consciousness, preparing to carefully study it after returning to seclusion.
The seemingly exaggerated departure effect also contained a great deal of Heavenly Principles, making it unforgettable. The entire Lecture Hall remained quiet for a few more moments before Cultivators, as if Awakening from a dream, slowly rose.
The next moment, the other Cultivators also woke up one by one.
Many Golden Core Elders exchanged glances, their eyes filled with disbelief!
"Profound! Too profound!"
"I feel that my current cultivation is full of flaws, and my Foundation is as weak as mud. What should I do?"
"My Momentum State has advanced a small step, which perfectly aligns with Su Shi's ultimate technique. I want to apply to cultivate Su Shi's ultimate technique!"
"Entering the Sect for two or three years has yielded more results than my two or three hundred years of cultivation. I truly feel inadequate!"
The Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Refining Qi Cultivators in the back rows also sighed repeatedly.
However, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators seemed very confused. Most of these later-arriving Cultivators had not learned Su Yuan's ultimate technique, so they were completely lost, gaining some insights, but not much.
On the other hand, the Refining Qi Cultivators benefited even more. Many Refining Qi Disciples resolved the doubts they had accumulated during their previous insights, experiencing a sense of enlightenment.
Gu You's eyes shone brightly. In his eyes, seven star points were twinkling. All the scriptures and classics he had studied in the past merged into one during this lecture. He saw the movement trajectory of the Big Dipper. With the seven stars as guidance, seven major types of methods followed, and with their mutual cooperation, his Foundation was solidified to an unimaginable degree!
He was confident that with this insight, obtaining a Perfect Dao Foundation was completely possible, even more profound than a normal Perfect Dao Foundation. He couldn't even imagine what flaws such a perfect Dao Foundation could have; it was perfect to the extreme.
However, he knew that the first nine volumes of Su Yuan's ultimate technique corresponded to the Refining Qi Realm!
This was a bit outrageous.
Collecting his thoughts, he looked at Xie Yingying and the others. He said, "It's time for us to reclaim our reputation!"
The other Disciples also gained a lot and immediately nodded upon hearing this.
The seven new Refining Qi Disciples quickly left the Lecture Hall and soon after found the older Disciples they had previously fought against.
"What do you want?"
Looking at Gu You and the others who blocked them, the Inner Sect Disciples all looked disdainful.
"What, you want to fight us? We are at Refining Qi seventh level, and you are only at Refining Qi fourth or fifth level. Get out of the way, I'm not interested in playing with newcomers!"
Clearly, these older Inner Sect Disciples had no interest in fighting Gu You and the others without orders from someone else.
Gu You said straightforwardly, "Look at my sword!"
He formed a hand seal.
The Flying Sword in his hand immediately soared into the sky.
"Seven Stars Transforming into Shadows!"
His incantation changed again, and the Flying Sword in the air transformed from one into seven. The seven sword lights intertwined, instantly forming the Big Dipper formation diagram.
A faint ray of starlight descended from the Big Dipper in the sky, further increasing the power of the formation diagram!
"Go!"
The next moment, the formation diagram sped towards the older Inner Sect Disciples!
Their expressions changed, and they all counterattacked!
Each of them used a High Grade Yellow-tier Spell, either attacking or defending, attempting to block.
In just two breaths, the attacks from both sides collided.
The Seven Stars sword light continuously broke through several attack-type Spells and directly struck their defensive Spells!
The sword light's power was unparalleled, directly breaking through the defensive Spells!
Gu You changed from stabbing to slapping, directly sending the seven older Inner Sect Disciples flying. They all fell to the ground, wailing in agony.
Gu You's Face also paled slightly, but it quickly recovered. He looked inside his Dantian and saw that a large area of his spiritual power had instantly dried up. He was speechless in his heart: "The power is strong, but the consumption is too terrifying, right? I found that Elder Su's ultimate technique also has flaws; the consumption can't keep up!"
He looked to the other side, where Xie Yingying, Meng Changle, and Li Yuexin had taken action, each defeating an older Inner Sect Disciple. The remaining four Perfect Spiritual Root Disciples couldn't even find an opponent!
A sudden encounter battle ended with Gu You and the others winning!
Many Disciples around exclaimed in surprise.
"How is this possible? They are only in the Middle Stage of Refining Qi, yet they actually defeated the Late Stage of Refining Qi by crossing Realms!"
A Disciple who didn't know the truth looked incredibly surprised!
"I don't know, but I just saw them come out of Lecture Hall A. Could it be because they listened to the lecture and their strength greatly increased?"
"I heard that even a thousand Golden Core Elders went to that lecture just now. Is it true?"
"It is indeed true!"
"Who is that Elder Su? How is he so powerful!"
"These new Disciples are quite powerful, aren't they?"
Many surrounding Disciples discussed animatedly.
Gu You's heart stirred, and he cupped his hands towards the surroundings, saying, "Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, we have indeed only learned a bit of Elder Su's ultimate technique. To have this kind of combat power is entirely Elder Su's credit!"
Just as he was about to boast about Elder Su some more.
He saw a group of black-clothed law enforcement Disciples surround them.
The Foundation Establishment Captain looked at them, his Face darkening: "It's you again. Causing trouble without reason, you'll be confined for three days!"
Gu You and the seven others exchanged glances, smiled wryly, and raised their hands, surrendering.
The law enforcement Disciples took them all away.
Only the Foundation Establishment Captain was left in deep thought: "Is that Elder Su's ultimate technique really that strong? Before going there, these few people were no match for those older Disciples. How long has it been, and they can already suppress the older Disciples? Even a Perfect Spiritual Root shouldn't be this strong! It seems I need to go and learn it, otherwise, my position as the law enforcement Captain won't be secure in the future."
...
Six.
Su Yuan sat in the quiet room.
System prompts were constantly bombarding his ears.
[Ding, Fame Value +50]
[Ding, Fame Value +7]
[Ding, Fame Value +500]
[Ding, Fame Value +90]
Su Yuan saw the large amount prompts and looked over, finding that the 500 one was not Spirit Transformation, but a Nascent Soul Elder. This was already activating secondary recognition!
One lecture allowed Su Yuan to completely make his debut in the Sect and display his profound understanding of the Great Dao before the high-level Cultivators above Nascent Soul. It was normal for the Nascent Soul Elders to be surprised because, at most, he had only been in the Sect for two or three years!
And the conceptions he displayed were more than two or three types!
This time, his gains were indeed great. Seeing the true appearance of the Big Dipper, even if only for a brief moment, was enough for him to gain enlightenment.
With the Metal, Wood, Fire, and Starry Sky conceptions, and Su Yuan initially focusing on the Starry Sky Conception, integrating the other three conceptions, his strength advanced further.
These were tangible improvements. Of course, Su Yuan was more focused on the increase in Fame Value at this time.
Finally, at a certain moment, Su Yuan's eyes, which were staring at the System panel, lit up.
[Name]: Su Yuan
[Region]: Qingke Continent
[Level]: Well-Known (100001/100w)
[Realm]: Foundation Establishment Initial Stage (95/100): Golden Sand Realm Peak
[Trait 1]: ""Work-Rest Balance"": Current Rest Time: 0.5 hours
[Trait 2]: Law of Nature
[Trait 3]: Seven Stars Shining Brightly
[Trait 4]: Mind Echo
[Trait 5]: To Be Selected
Su Yuan instantly focused his gaze on Trait 5 and mentally clicked on it.
Three lines of text immediately appeared before his eyes.
[Grand Elder's Demeanor]: You have initially acquired the demeanor of a strong person, awakened an innate Divine Ability, possess the demeanor of a strong person, emit a pressure one level stronger than anyone else, and ignore most pressure-type damage.
[Taking Things from a Pocket]: You have initially acquired the demeanor of a thief, awakened an innate Divine Ability, can penetrate Restrictions to retrieve items, completely undetected.
[Cutting Off the Tail to Survive]: You have initially acquired the demeanor of a weak person, awakened an innate Divine Ability, can cut off a portion of your body to feign death and escape, and can gradually recover your injuries.
Su Yuan examined these traits and found that these three traits seemed to be a type of demeanor trait?
The first trait was very interesting, a top-grade trait for feigning strength. In many situations, it was enough to deceive people and had many miraculous effects.
Although the third trait was called the demeanor of a weak person, its life-saving ability was top-notch, and Su Yuan was also quite tempted, but the drawback was that Su Yuan seemed to have already mastered the ability of this trait!
Simulating Aura? Myriad Treasure Cosmos Cauldron, understand!
Changing form? Seven Stars Fish Dragon Transformation's transformation Spell, understand?
Strong recovery? His future body tempering direction must be able to achieve this effect!
So the third trait was excluded first.
The second trait was very mysterious. Taking Things from a Pocket already involved the mysteries of formations and Restrictions. With this trait, he would be able to do many incredible things, such as stealing the Relics of strong people, stealing other people's treasures during battle, such as... wait!
The effect of this trait was also surprisingly good, making Su Yuan very interested.
However...
Su Yuan still excluded it!
There were two reasons: first, Su Yuan believed that he could also comprehend the mysteries of formations and Restrictions in the future and achieve the effect of taking things from a pocket; second, Su Yuan rarely went out and rarely fought, so the opportunity to use this Divine Ability was not frequent.
The remaining "completely undetected" was a means to conceal divination, but it only concealed the act of stealing. Others could bypass this act to deduce, which was also a flaw.
Moreover, Su Yuan could also learn methods to conceal heavenly secrets himself.
Thus, the first trait, Grand Elder's Demeanor, increased in priority!
What he cared about was not the first half of the description, but the latter half about shielding from pressure-type damage!
Why did Su Yuan notice this trait?
Because he possessed a sixth-tier cave heaven spiritual treasure, and he was very clear about the power of suppression!
Within the same Realm, being suppressed by several percent of strength, what was the difference from being crippled?
If one day Su Yuan faced the same method, he would also suffer similar damage, and at this time, this trait could allow him to shield himself from this suppression damage!
In Su Yuan's view, suppression also belonged to a type of pressure!
Not only that, but there were many other types of pressure, such as Realm pressure, Domain pressure, supreme treasure pressure, and so on, which were all very troublesome methods.
Su Yuan currently had no way to counter them, so Su Yuan finally chose the first trait!
[Grand Elder's Demeanor]!
Chapter 77: Demon Sect Action
Recently.
Above the Seven Absolutes Sect, phenomena of the Big Dipper frequently appeared.
This situation attracted the attention of many Star Cultivation Cultivators.
Many Sects were very concerned about the unusual state of the Seven Absolutes Sect.
Especially the Demon Sect, which paid the most attention to the Seven Absolutes Sect, the leader of the Righteous Path.
Representatives from the three major Demon Sects, the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Ghost Fiend Sect, and the Corpse Demon Sect, gathered together to discuss the news.
"Recently, I have found that many strong individuals from the Seven Absolutes Sect have returned. Do you all know what has happened?" asked an Elder with a hooked nose from the Heavenly Demon Sect, who was in the Spirit Transformation Realm.
"All of my spies in the Seven Absolutes Sect are dead. Those corrupted Disciples have been cleaned out. They must have been discovered before, but no action was taken. Now that they are suddenly cleaned out, there must be a problem!" a Demon Cultivator shrouded in black mist from the Ghost Fiend Sect said coldly.
A Demon Cultivator from the Corpse Demon Sect, who looked like a righteous Daoist priest, smiled and said, "I couldn't find any information from the corpses of the Seven Absolutes Sect Disciples."
The hooked-nosed Elder from the Heavenly Demon Sect frowned and said, "Our Sect had a Golden Core Elder who at that time stopped a group of Refining Qi Disciples. These Disciples included the Inner Sect's top Disciple and second Disciple of the Seven Absolutes Sect at the time. Both of them had talismans to assist them and were the Seven Absolutes Sect's perfect seedlings. At that time, that Elder was about to capture them, but suddenly the Big Dipper lit up and sent down an attack, causing him to suffer a great injury and flee in a hurry! After that, the changes in the Seven Absolutes Sect became extremely frequent. This matter should be a clue."
The Elder from the Ghost Fiend Sect suddenly said, "The anomaly of the Big Dipper does indeed need attention. Our Sect's Elders suspect that the Seven Absolutes Sect has gained a completely new unique inheritance, and it is of the Star Cultivation lineage!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the other two also had solemn expressions.
Clearly, they also had some suspicions!
"Our Demon Sects are not skilled in Star Cultivation, so we need to invite a Star Cultivation master to assist us. In addition, we need to test out who this Star Cultivation expert is and what their strength is. You haven't forgotten the Opening Meridian Ancestral Teacher who appears in the Seven Absolutes Sect every so often, have you?" the Daoist priest from the Corpse Demon Sect suddenly said.
"Opening Meridian Ancestral Teacher!"
Both of them had their expressions solemn, but they were not overly nervous.
The hooked-nosed Elder from the Heavenly Demon Sect smiled calmly and said, "We naturally know about the Seven Absolutes Sect's Opening Meridian Ancestral Teacher. In the Sect's records, the Seven Absolutes Sect's Opening Meridian Ancestral Teacher is indeed very strong, but their strength is limited. They can usually fight one against two and slightly cross a small Realm, but that's about it."
"The main reason is that every time a new inheritance appears, it allows some Disciples who can't find a way forward to switch or cultivate concurrently, thereby allowing many Disciples stuck at a Bottleneck to break through in strength. When there are more Disciples who break through, the Seven Absolutes Sect's strength increases, and they acquire resources faster, thus forming a virtuous cycle! That Ancestor himself is not that significant!"
The Elder from the Ghost Fiend Sect nodded, "Before, we didn't have experience, but now after reviewing for several thousand years, we can be considered experienced. As long as we can suppress the momentum of this Opening Meridian Ancestral Teacher and suppress this new lineage of the Seven Absolutes Sect, preventing their snowball from rolling, then the Seven Absolutes Sect's so-called great prosperity will be nothing more than this!"
The three continued to exchange information from their three Sects and gradually determined several plans.
"I will summarize the three aspects to deal with the Seven Absolutes Sect."
The Elder from the Heavenly Demon Sect said slowly:
"First, invite a Star Cultivation master to come and disrupt the methods of that Opening Meridian Ancestral Teacher!"
"Second, pressure the Seven Absolutes Sect's industries from all directions to compress the speed at which the Seven Absolutes Sect acquires resources, and reduce the number of Disciples in the Seven Absolutes Sect's new lineage as appropriate."
"Third, set up an ambush near the Seven Absolutes Sect and kill a Spirit Transformation Realm Elder to weaken the Seven Absolutes Sect's strength at a high level."
"How do you think the plan is?"
The Bald Eagle Elder from the Heavenly Demon Sect asked.
"Perfect!" the Mist Hidden Elder from the Ghost Fiend Sect praised.
"It's excellent, detailed, clear, and very complete!" the Crazy Demon Daoist from the Corpse Demon Sect praised.
All three felt that this plan was exceptionally perfect.
And above the heads of the three.
Su Yuan's consciousness cast down his perception with confusion.
He had just finished choosing the terms, and then a large amount of fame points were credited to his account. Out of curiosity, he activated Mind Echo, and then he saw the three of them loudly plotting the joint action of the three Sects in a dimly lit room.
Listening to their conversation, Su Yuan's expression became even more strange.
What he cared about was not the Demon Sect's plan, but their records of the Opening Meridian Ancestral Teacher, which seemed to have huge discrepancies with the Seven Absolutes Sect's own records!
In the Seven Absolutes Sect's records, the Ancestor could fight across a major Realm, but here in the Demon Sect, it was only across a small Realm.
In the Seven Absolutes Sect's records, the Ancestor could fight one against five, and all were fighting across Realms, but here in the Demon Sect, it was only one against two, and they were in the same Realm!
From a rational analysis perspective, the person who understands you best, besides yourself, is your enemy!
Obviously, it's impossible for all three Demon Sects to be wrong, so the truth is very likely that the Ancestors were just as the Demon Sects recorded!
He just said it, if others could catch up to his strength without cheating, wouldn't his cheat be useless?
Withdrawing his thoughts, Su Yuan continued to eavesdrop silently.
He wrote down the ambush locations designed by the three one by one.
The three Spirit Transformation Realm Demon Cultivators were still cackling incessantly, but Su Yuan had already sentenced them to death!
Su Yuan's main body turned around and ran towards the Main Peak.
Gu Qingzhu was watching the image of Su Yuan giving a lecture, still watching with great interest.
He saw Su Yuan walk in in a hurry.
"Su Yuan, what's wrong?" Gu Qingzhu quickly closed the lecture image and put away a recording jade slip.
Su Yuan's mouth twitched. He didn't expect Gu Qingzhu to be so cunning as to record his lecture process. He hadn't noticed it before!
"Cough, cough, I did this for the future of the Sect. I originally wanted to explain it to you." Gu Qingzhu's old Face turned red. He always felt that this behavior was disrespectful to Su Yuan.
Su Yuan waved his hand, "I was giving a public lecture in the first place, so I didn't intend to hide anything. You can replicate it and distribute it to the Disciples later."
Gu Qingzhu's expression brightened, "Su Yuan, my respect for you is like the surging river..."
"I want sixty percent of the contribution points, thirty percent for the Sect, and ten percent for you and the other Disciples who handle things!" Su Yuan added.
Gu Qingzhu's expression froze, and he said blankly, "This, this, this is also good!"
He touched his pocket, feeling a strange pang of heartache. His plan to earn contribution points had just shrunk like this!
He was very confused why Su Yuan could know his plan, and even the distribution was so clear?
He sighed and asked again, "Oh, right, why did you come here?"
"Oh, I saw the Demon Sect's secret meeting and also discovered their secret plot. This is a memory stone. I have recorded the parts of the memory I saw in it!
The rest is up to you to handle!"
Su Yuan put down the stone and left gracefully.
Sect Leader Gu's expression changed, and he immediately picked up the memory stone to watch.
His perspective instantly came to the top of a room, and he saw three familiar figures below.
"Bald Eagle, Mist Hidden, Crazy Demon, these three Spirit Transformation old demons have actually mixed together!"
Gu Qingzhu's expression became solemn.
He knew that things were serious! Such a joint action between the three Sects had not been common before, because the Demon Sects also suspected each other and rarely cooperated, sometimes even tripping each other up. Therefore, although the strength of the righteous and Demonic Paths was ostensibly equal, the Demon Sects appeared slightly inferior.
Now that the three strongest Demon Sects had joined forces, things were a little different!
Thinking of this, Gu Qingzhu raised his head, but found that Su Yuan had disappeared at some point.
Gu Qingzhu's mouth twitched, and he opened his mouth, finding that Su Yuan indeed had no need to stay. Although he was the Opening Meridian Ancestral Teacher, his strength was still only at the Golden Core, and even if he could fight across Realms, he was only at the Nascent Soul. Obviously, he was not enough to participate in the battles between Spirit Transformation experts.
Gu Qingzhu naturally heard the three's denigration of the Opening Meridian Ancestor, but he selectively ignored it. The real Opening Meridian Ancestor was standing in front of him. Could he not see which record was true? Was he blind?
He hurried towards the Secret Realm.
Soon, several Nascent Soul Elders rushed over and began to discuss how to deal with the Demon Sect's joint plot.
Su Yuan returned to his cave dwelling, but he didn't disregard the Demon Sect's plan as Gu Qingzhu thought.
He was concerned about the first and second points.
"A Star Cultivation master is coming to interfere with or even disrupt my methods? My Seven Stars Shining Brightly is a System term, so what use is it to bring a Star Cultivation master here?"
Su Yuan smiled. This was an information gap. No one knew his fundamental details, and trying to deal with him based on the surface situation seemed very comical.
So he wasn't too concerned.
As for the second point, it made him frown greatly. Clearly, the Demon Sect was going to attack the Seven Absolutes Sect's industries, especially those of Three Absolutes Peak.
Three Absolutes Peak had already begun to take over the industries allocated from the other seven Peaks, and many Disciples had already gone out to guard them.
Su Yuan thought for a moment and immediately walked to the Seven Stars altar and began to deduce.
When Su Yuan activated the Seven Stars altar again, he clearly felt that his connection with the Big Dipper had become closer!
His deepened understanding of the Big Dipper caused the effect of the Seven Stars Shining Brightly term to be enhanced simultaneously!
Su Yuan found that his deduction technique had also increased by more than one level!
A large amount of information came from the Big Dipper.
He even inexplicably knew the essence of the Seven Stars deduction technique!
"So that's how it is. The Big Dipper shines upon the heavens and the earth, and wherever the starlight shines, it is known to the Big Dipper. Everything is clearly visible. After knowing the present and past events, combined with the laws of development of things, one can naturally deduce some future changes! This is the essence of the Seven Stars deduction secret technique!"
Su Yuan suddenly realized. So that's how it was. The ancient texts said that one could deduce the past and future through the shifting of stars and the movement of constellations, which was complete nonsense. The essence was not in the stars themselves, but in the immeasurable starlight emitted by the stars!
Therefore, his deepened understanding of the Big Dipper naturally led to a rapid advancement in his deduction technique!
Su Yuan suddenly realized. So that's how it was.

Therefore, his deepened understanding of the Big Dipper naturally led to a rapid advancement in his deduction technique!
Numerous pieces of information entered Su Yuan's consciousness, giving him a general grasp of the dangers that the Seven Absolutes Sect's industries might Face in the future!
