Chapter 116: Disciples of Seven Stars

Su Yuan gazed towards the horizon.Countless threads of mental connection linked back to him. After temporarily concealing the mental connections from his own world, he could still see an enormous number of mental threads connected to him. Among them was one exceptionally thick strand - so many mental threads had converged that they formed a chain firmly locked onto the direction of the Black Demon Realm. There was also another connection leading to the Star Spirit Realm, consisting of tens of thousands of threads. Beyond these two previously explored worlds, Thousands of other mental connections leading to various worlds appeared before Su Yuan's eyes. Stretching in different directions, there were at least three thousand such connections, and the number was still increasing. During this period, the cultivation techniques he left on the Tian Shu Star had begun taking widespread effect! Many living beings across different worlds had obtained these technique inheritances. While practicing them, they would unconsciously chant about the Seven Stars. Now, "Seven Stars" referred to him personally. With so many worlds, it would be truly difficult for him to personally spread his fame everywhere. He needed the disciples of the Seven Stars Sect to help propagate his name! He only needed to intervene at critical moments! The Seven Stars Sect acted swiftly. In just half a month, nearly all disciples had been recalled. Gu Qingzhu stood on the sect's grand plaza, addressing hundreds of thousands of disciples. "...A great calamity approaches this world. Those who remain here will face disaster. Our Seven Stars Ancestor has employed great divine powers to open passages to other worlds. You will be sent in groups to live and train in these other worlds. This will be an unprecedented challenge, but opportunities will also present themselves before you." "You may obtain various fortunes and treasures while completing sect missions. You can earn substantial contributions - not only securing chances to return, but also receiving generous rewards. The highest reward even includes Heavenly Divine Positions!" "What are Heavenly Divine Positions? They are like the legendary Earth Gods - coexisting with heaven, eternal life guaranteed! At that point, you'll no longer worry about lifespan, becoming celestial beings roaming freely between heaven and earth!" Su Yuan sat on the highest viewing platform, muttering speechlessly: "He really dares to say anything!" Nangong Xianweng remarked: "Ancestor, you will undoubtedly become an immortal existence. Eternal life alongside heaven isn't an exaggeration!" Su Yuan nodded. Nangong Xianweng hesitated: "That... could I also obtain a divine position?" Su Yuan glanced at him: "Are you willing to give up opportunities for self-improvement? This means sacrificing freedom!" Nangong Xianweng coughed: "Actually, freedom isn't my main concern." "Your merit is insufficient!" Su Yuan stated. "I've calculated - you only have eight hundred minor merits, still two hundred short of one thousand minor merits which equals one major merit." Nangong Xianweng couldn't contain himself: "That Qi Refining kid Song Cai qualifies, but I don't?" "That's exactly why I say divine position advancement is rigid. If you choose this path and get stuck later, don't come complaining to me!" Su Yuan said calmly. In his evaluation system, one thousand fame points equaled one minor merit. One million fame points equaled one major merit. Only those who could bring him one million fame points qualified for Heavenly Divine Positions. The power of a ninth-rank Star Official might be limited, but the key benefit was longevity! With his ability to receive missions in times of crisis, Su Yuan might not just match heaven's lifespan - he might outlive heaven itself. "Well, I can persist a bit longer!" Nangong Xianweng said. "As you wish!" Gu Qingzhu's speech lasted a full two hours. Even Su Yuan grew sleepy, but the hundreds of thousands of disciples below remained excited, nervous, and enthusiastic - no drowsiness whatsoever. "Exploring different worlds?" Gu You's eyes brightened. Xie Yingying looked around puzzled: "Where's Nangong Shanyu? Disappeared again?" Valley Master Lan Si muttered: "Do I even need to remain valley master now?" Amidst the discussions, many disciples began forming teams - interdimensional training would be dangerous indeed. Some who had heard rumors earlier had already formed teams and now applied to sect elders for interdimensional travel. The sect elders collected all applications. Eventually everything was compiled and sent to Su Yuan. Through Mind Echo, Su Yuan projected his consciousness to other worlds, mainly selecting safer immortal cultivation worlds. Then on the grand plaza, groups of disciples became enveloped in starlight before vanishing from their spots! Batch after batch of disciples were sent to different worlds. The spectacle made everyone both nervous and expectant. Soon the plaza's disciple population had decreased by one-third. Then Sect Leader Gu announced: "The first batch of interdimensional slots are filled! The second batch will be announced later - prepare yourselves!" The disciples collectively sighed - they'd missed the first opportunity! However, most were actually adopting a wait-and-see approach, uncertain about the risks. They'd wait for others to return with reports. In one particular world, Ye Bufan materialized out of thin air. Accompanying him were thirty loyal disciples. They appeared in a valley with no immediate threats. Everyone relaxed. "Senior Brother Ye! What's our next move?" All disciples looked to Ye Bufan. Ye Bufan's demeanor had grown much steadier. Among Su Yuan's batch of disciples, besides Su Yuan himself, he had performed the best. After successive humblings by Su Yuan, his arrogance had been tempered into resilience. Now his cultivation had reached mid Foundation Establishment (Golden Bean Stage) with extremely solid foundations. Ye Bufan instructed: "First gather intelligence about our surroundings. Stay alert!" "Yes!" The thirty disciples began scouting outward. Ye Bufan also carefully surveyed the area. After half a day, Ye Bufan looked at the gathered information speechlessly: "This vast Nine Li Continent's strongest cultivator is only at Nascent Soul Stage? And they're already considered legendary?" "This world seems weak?" "Weak?" Ye Bufan waved his hand. "There are still plenty of Golden Core cultivators." Everyone awaited Ye Bufan's decision. After consideration, Ye Bufan declared: "We'll proceed steadily. In this world, we'll establish a new Seven Stars Sect branch! Then gradually spread the name of our Seven Stars Ancestor!" "Agreed!" All disciples approved this cautious approach. In another world, Yin Jiuzong led his Yin Family disciples into this new realm. Yin Jiuzong felt his chest - the Seven-Star Token remained. He relaxed. Then he too began investigating this world. Soon he discovered this was actually a high-level world with legends of Body Unity Stage experts. "Elder Jiuzong, what's our plan?" Yin Jiuzong announced: "First master this world's language. Then establish Seven Stars Pavilions everywhere - selling and collecting low-level techniques and texts, while subtly incorporating stories about our Seven Stars Ancestor. We'll spread his name gradually among this world's common populace." The Yin Family members brightened. They excelled at compiling texts - they had abundant low-level techniques. Setting up bookstore-like shops would be effortless. "While spreading his name, we must also collect texts. Our Ancestor particularly enjoys various writings. These being from another world, all texts are completely new. After translation, we can present them upon our return. This is actually our most important mission!" "Understood!" Within just half a month, Seven Stars Pavilions appeared in several nearby cities, specializing in low-level techniques while quietly spreading the Seven Stars Ancestor's name. In yet another world, Gu You arrived alone. Now at late Foundation Establishment (Golden Pearl Stage), He quickly assessed this world and found it actually had Great Ascension Realm existences. After brief consideration, he headed straight for this world's most powerful sect. His goal: become its leader, then transform it into a Seven Stars Sect subsidiary! In another realm, After years undercover, Zheng He had reached early Foundation Establishment. Tainted with wickedness, he arrived in a low-level world. After contemplation, a cold killing intent surfaced: "I'll unleash terrifying slaughter across this world, then stage a final act where the 'Seven Stars Dao Venerable' destroys me. Wouldn't that spread his name worldwide?" Zheng He smiled sinisterly, eyes icy. One by one, Seven Stars Sect disciples arrived in foreign worlds - some choosing gradual approaches, others drastic measures. But regardless of method, all worked diligently on Su Yuan's mission. Su Yuan only needed to reap the rewards! Suddenly, Su Yuan noticed mental connections from the Immortal Realm resuming. Dragon World. After bringing back seven young true dragons, the dragon expert disappeared, leaving them with other dragon elders. "You're still young dragons. Learning from that basic technique would be too slow!" A graceful beauty stared at the seven dragons compressed to two-meter lengths. "Then Elder, what do you suggest?" Little Thirty-Six asked cautiously. "Don't call me Elder - I'm only twenty thousand years older." The beauty smiled. "Follow me to the Dragon Clan's Sea of Ten Thousand Books!" "Sea of Ten Thousand Books?" Little Thirty-Six wondered. "What's that?" "Our dragon clan's accumulated knowledge across ages. Besides our own collections, there are classics from races we exterminated, plus countless texts obtained through trade or... other means. You'll immerse yourselves there, study hard, and select proper dragon techniques!" The beauty explained cheerfully. "More studying!" Little Thirty-Six's draconic face scrunched miserably. The beauty rapped his head: "Fool! We're true dragons - we must understand universal truths to maintain our supremacy! Did you think we could advance just by eating and drinking?" "Isn't that so?" Little Thirty-Six muttered. "Don't complain about good fortune! Only true dragons may enter the Sea of Ten Thousand Books!" Leading the seven youngsters through layers of gates and checkpoints, they arrived at a world composed entirely of books! Like droplets forming an ocean, books comprised this vast sea! The seven young dragons stood utterly dumbfounded!
