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

Chapter 361: Capital of the Ancient Immortal Kingdom

Su Yuan took a single step and arrived at the Chaos Continent in the blink of an eye.

He reached the edge of the Eternal Nation but did not enter its territory.

He quietly observed the state of the Eternal Nation.

"Oh? He still hasn't broken through to King-level?"

Su Yuan deduced from various sources of information that Su Jin still hadn't advanced to King-level. However, within his territory, relying on his entries, he could still exert King-level combat power.

So currently, their combat strength was roughly equal. Su Yuan held the advantage with his "Name Lord" Status, but he wasn't in a hurry to take action.

Time was on his side. Once the God Realm Sea Garden matured, even if only one Hunyuan was born in each God Realm Sea, it would provide him with ten billion Fame Points. He just needed to wait a while longer to completely overpower Su Jin, so there was no need to rush into action now.

Su Yuan left the border of the Eternal Nation and then appeared in the capital of the Ancient Immortal Nation - the Primordial Immortal City.

Su Yuan walked through the Primordial Immortal City like an ordinary person. He spotted a restaurant and directly stepped inside.

"Just one!"

"This way please. Would you prefer dining in an independent world or a public world?"

"Public is fine!"

Upon hearing this, the server led Su Yuan into a public world.

The interior of the restaurant was actually a God Realm Sea.

He sensed that the Great Dao rules of this God Realm Sea were actually the Dao of Food!

At a glance, he could see some massive worlds marked with "Private Room" numbers, and one largest world labeled "Main Hall."

The server flew with Su Yuan into the Main Hall world.

The seating in the Main Hall consisted of immortal islands. Su Yuan casually landed on one of the islands.

Looking beyond the island, he could see various scenes from this great world reflected in the clouds, including countless cooking battles.

The server explained, "Esteemed Daoist, this world is called the Heavenly Chef Realm. It follows the culinary path, where all living beings consider creating the ultimate delicacies as their highest goal. You may freely choose any delicacy from the Heavenly Chef Realm as appetizers. Our main course is the world origin of the Heavenly Chef Realm, absolutely incomparably delicious. Let me cut a piece for you first, and you can enjoy the rest at your leisure!"

The server waved a hand, tearing open a spatial rift that revealed the world origin location.

With a swift motion, the server severed a section of the world origin, shaping it into a lotus flower dish that was placed before Su Yuan.

"Enjoy your meal, Esteemed Daoist!"

The server departed on their own.

Su Yuan took a breath, and the lotus transformed into a clear stream that flowed into his body.

An extreme sensation of deliciousness surged through him, making even someone like him who rarely ate anything praise it endlessly.

The world origin of this realm had been "cooked" into a special delicacy that made one reluctant to leave after just one taste, though the lotus form was perhaps too elegant.

He directly waved his hand and extracted a mass of world origin. Under his will, this mass of world origin transformed directly into a plate of roasted lamb leg meat.

Su Yuan grabbed the roasted meat and stuffed it into his mouth, eating with great satisfaction.

"Haha, how carefree you are, fellow Daoist!"

On the neighboring immortal island, a young man raised his wine cup toward Su Yuan. "Are you also alone, fellow Daoist? Why not share a drink together?"

"Excellent!"

Su Yuan nodded.

The immortal island beneath their feet seemed sentient. Hearing their conversation, the islands automatically merged, forming a larger immortal island where the two sat facing each other.

The young man shared a wine cup with Su Yuan, while he unceremoniously grabbed some of Su Yuan's roasted meat and began eating.

"Come, fellow Daoist, bottoms up!"

"Haha, alright!"

Su Yuan also laughed heartily, raising his wine cup and downing a full bowl!

The two drank wine and ate meat, quickly becoming familiar with each other.

The young man asked first, "Fellow Daoist, you look unfamiliar. Are you new to the capital?"

Su Yuan nodded, "That's right. I'm the leader of a small rural tribe. Got tired of staying there, so I came out to make my way in the world."

The young man's eyes lit up. "Were you born in a God Realm Sea before, fellow Daoist?"

"Correct, I came from a God Realm Sea."

"Admirable!" The young man gave a thumbs up. "To journey all the way from a God Realm Sea and still break through to the Wuji Realm - you're truly formidable!"

"From what you're saying, fellow Daoist, you're not from a God Realm Sea!" Su Yuan inquired.

"Hmm, to be honest with you, I come from a major family in the capital. I was born here in the capital. When I was born, I was only at the mid-stage of Hunyuan Great Luo - mediocre talent. Now I'm aimlessly drifting, barely reaching the Wuji Realm. Sigh, my family looks down on me!"

The young man wore a sorrowful, melancholic expression, downing three cups in succession as he spoke, a hint of drunkenness appearing on his face.

Su Yuan's mouth twitched. "Fellow Daoist, the Wuji Realm is already the highest realm. That shouldn't be bad, right?"

The young man shook his head. "You don't understand. Let me explain it to you. There are differences even within the Wuji Realm. Someone like me with an ordinary Wuji Realm is too weak. The stronger ones are called City Lord Level - you should know about that. Beyond that there's Continent-City Level, Near King-level, King-level, and beyond King-level. The gap between each level is even greater than the difference between Wuji Realm and Tai Chi Realm. Sigh, the disparities are just too vast!"

Hearing this, Su Yuan asked curiously, "Then what level is the strongest member of your family, fellow Daoist?"

"Near King-level!" The young man's tone carried a trace of pride.

Su Yuan drew a sharp breath and cupped his hands respectfully. "My apologies for the disrespect! So you're actually from a Near King-level family!"

The young man waved his hand. "Heh, the family is the family. It has nothing to do with me!"

Su Yuan said, "The strongest member of the royal family is also Near King-level, right!"

The young man said impassively, "Correct!"

Su Yuan sighed with emotion. "I've heard the royal family's treasure vault contains countless treasures, including items that can make one's strength advance by leaps and bounds. If only I could obtain one. As a scion of a Near King-level family, your family should have a similar treasure vault, right? Surely there must be some way for you to acquire something?"

The young man chuckled. "I'm just a marginal figure."

As they conversed, the young man felt endless emotion.

He couldn't help saying, "Actually, I've already obtained one opportunity to enter the treasure vault. But many people keep telling me to exchange this for that - it's really annoying me. I came out here to avoid the pressure."

Su Yuan said enviously, "You're actually doing quite well, fellow Daoist. How about this - I'll help you improve your cultivation, and you transfer this treasure vault opportunity to me. Would that work?"

The young man laughed heartily. "Your aura is only that of an ordinary Wuji Realm - how could you possibly help me... Gah!"

The young man's laughter abruptly froze as he suddenly sensed the terrifying aura emanating from Su Yuan - an aura that surpassed even his father-king!

His father-king was a terrifying existence at the peak of Near King-level. To be stronger than his father-king, wouldn't that mean... King-level!

The young man felt extremely bitter. Hadn't he just wanted to find some random person to show off to? How had he ended up finding a King-level?

Weren't there supposed to be no King-level experts in his entire nation?

"So? Will you make the exchange or not?" Su Yuan asked with a chuckle.

The young man gritted his teeth. "What level of cultivation can I exchange for?"

"Continent-City Level!" Su Yuan smiled faintly.

"Hiss!" The young man drew a sharp breath, then gritted his teeth and said, "I'll exchange!"
