Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard”

Chapter 348: Living in Legends

This sleep was incredibly refreshing.

The first thought that crossed Su Yuan's mind as his consciousness awakened was how comfortable he felt.

"It's been so long since I've slept like this!"

After his consciousness fully awakened, Su Yuan checked his current state.

He seemed like a ghost, floating among countless colorful bubbles.

Looking closely, hey, guess what—he himself was also a bubble!

Through the bubbles, he could see strange and peculiar images, classic legends of living beings.

Some bubbles were vibrant and colorful, while others were dim and lackluster.

Some of the dim bubbles suddenly extinguished, disappearing without a trace, as if they would never exist again.

And he himself was the dimmest bubble of all, so faint it was almost impossible to see clearly.

Inside his bubble, there were no clear images either.

Yet he was perfectly fine, and the bubble seemed to have always been like this and would continue this way indefinitely.

"Am I really this pitiful?" Su Yuan even had the mood to mock himself.

He could see that the vibrant bubble surfaces were connected to many threads, with strands of thoughts converging toward those bubbles, providing them with continuous "life force." The dim ones, however, had pitifully few connected threads—just one or two barely holding on. When the last thread broke, they completely vanished.

As for Su Yuan himself... he had zero threads connected, yet his bubble remained perfectly intact, appearing as if it were about to disappear at any moment but stubbornly refusing to vanish.

Su Yuan watched these bubbles with great interest. This dimension was the dimension of stories and legends, an information dimension that normal living beings basically had no chance of reaching.

Even Su Yuan himself, once he left this place, would find it difficult to return.

"Let's wait, surely someone will remember me?"

Su Yuan gazed beyond the dimension and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Although he had backup plans, he felt it wasn't time to use them yet. He thought he should wait and see—surely not a single person would remember him, right?

So he drifted around here, treating it as a special journey. When it came to mindset, Su Yuan had it completely under control. Don't ask—if you do, the answer is calm composure (with just a tiny bit of panic).

Chaos Continent.

Gaoyu City.

People flowed continuously in and out.

Ye Bufan stood calmly at the city gate of Gaoyu City, dressed in green robes.

Beside him were Gu You and Old Bull.

All three had changed their appearances and looked extremely composed.

Their auras had remarkably reached the Tai Chi Realm, with extremely profound cultivation.

The city gate guards stopped them.

"What brings you to Gaoyu City?"

"To join Gaoyu City!" Gu You said cheerfully. "We've come to seek refuge!"

The guards looked the three up and down and said, "Alright, follow that person into the city to register and go through the procedures."

Gu You raised an eyebrow at Ye Bufan and said, "See? Joining a faction is pretty easy!"

Old Bull grumbled in his deep voice, "Don't expose us—we're wanted criminals!"

Gu You coughed, and the three smoothly followed a member of the Gaoyu Tribe to register and undergo inspection. Finally, after eliminating the possibility that they were spies, they were permitted to join the tribe.

As a benefit of joining the tribe, they could receive an inheritance as a reward.

Thus, they came to the Library Hall.

A young woman received them.

"My name is Xiao Xiang. Welcome to our Gaoyu Tribe. This is the Library Hall. Since it's your first time here, you can exchange for one Primordial Limit Inheritance for free, though it's only a portion. Subsequent parts of the inheritance require contribution points to exchange."

Gu You asked with interest, "How many Primordial Limit Realm experts does our tribe have?"

Xiao Xiang said proudly, "Our tribe has a full twelve Primordial Limit Realm experts! Great Elder Jing Hunzi is a puppet master who has crafted three Primordial Limit Realm puppets! Second Elder Daoxian is an all-around immortal path genius. Fourth Elder Fumo, Fifth Elder... and Twelfth Elder Green Emperor—his Life Great Dao can heal any injury! You can choose one of their inheritances to study!"

After listening for a while, Gu You asked curiously, "What about the Third Elder? Why didn't you introduce him?"

"Third Elder?"

Xiao Xiang also shook her head in confusion. "I've lived in the tribe for countless years and have never seen the Third Elder. I've only heard a little about him. You can consider him to be in seclusion."

Though puzzled, Gu You didn't dwell on it.

The three were led by Xiao Xiang into the Library Hall.

Inside was a vast expanse, with countless books transformed into small worlds floating around.

Within these worlds, Dao patterns evolved, filled with profound rhythms.

Everyone followed Xiao Xiang as she walked.

They soon reached the highest point, where eleven massive worlds unfolded before them—representing the Gaoyu Tribe's eleven Primordial Limit Inheritances!

Gu You curiously glanced at the third-ranked position, where there was also a massive world, but it looked extremely dim and lackluster.

At the entrance to this world, a half-destroyed puppet still stood guard.

When Ye Bufan saw that puppet, his body couldn't help but tremble, and the sword Dao rules within him surged uncontrollably to resist the pressure the puppet exuded.

"Old Ye, what's wrong?" Gu You asked in surprise.

Ye Bufan looked gravely at the half-destroyed puppet. "It's incredibly powerful!"

Old Bull turned to Xiao Xiang. "What is that?"

Xiao Xiang explained, "That should have been a puppet crafted by the Third Elder. It suffered devastating damage during the Beast Tide defense. Don't be fooled by its heavy pressure—it actually has very little power left."

Gu You pointed at the world. "That contains a Primordial Limit Inheritance too, right?"

"It's useless." Xiao Xiang shook her head. "The inheritance inside can't be used at all. In the past, some stubborn people tried, but none could successfully cultivate it. Over time, this place was abandoned. Even the contribution points required for the inheritance inside were repeatedly lowered until they reached the absolute minimum."

Gu You's eyes lit up as he said, "So if I use my first free opportunity to exchange for the inheritance inside, could I get the complete version directly?"

Xiao Xiang saw through his plan and couldn't help but laugh. "Yes! Your thinking is the same as many newcomers. If you want to try, I won't stop you, but don't regret it later!"

Gu You looked at Ye Bufan. "Old Ye, let's go check it out together. Maybe we'll find a hidden treasure!"

Ye Bufan waved his hand dismissively. "Not interested!"

He directly entered Elder Daoxian's inheritance world and selected a sword Dao inheritance.

Gu You then looked at Old Bull.

Old Bull shrugged. "If you want to go, go ahead. I'm just an old bull—I'll learn an inheritance that focuses on strength!"

He headed toward the Yellow Emperor's inheritance.

After some thought, Gu You still stepped into this abandoned world.

As soon as he entered this inheritance world, he saw a full 128 inheritance oceans, marked with 128 different Primordial Limit Inheritances.

He scanned them and spotted the [Big Dipper] inheritance, feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity. But his attention was quickly captured by another inheritance.
