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

Chapter 367: The Opportunity for the Five Nations to Fully Unite

Bafeite frowned and said, "So you can only resurrect those you've met?"

Benjamin, on the other hand, revealed a smile. "It's normal to have restrictions. If the only limit was cultivation realm, and he reached the Wuji Realm, wouldn't that mean he could even resurrect us?"

This alone was enough to make Gu You a highly valued guest among them!

Everyone exchanged glances, each harboring the thought of bringing Gu You under their wing.

Lu Donghe felt a pang of regret. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have exposed Gu You. Initially, he thought this Resurrection Technique must have many limitations and would be useless for a powerhouse like him, which is why he casually mentioned Gu You's information.

But now, seeing that the restriction was almost negligible, the entire concept changed.

Suppressing the regret in his heart, Lu Donghe said, "Young brother Gu, how about you demonstrate your ability for us?"

"No problem!" Gu You was already prepared.

With a wave of Lu Donghe's hand, an imprisoned cultivator was summoned over.

The cultivator, finding himself out of the prison and in an unfamiliar place, felt a flicker of joy.

Just as he looked at the people around him, a glance from Lu Donghe transformed into a blade, instantly killing him!

In that moment, the prisoner's life imprint and True Spirit imprint were completely severed by Lu Donghe, resulting in true and utter death.

Then, everyone looked at Gu You.

Gu You took a deep breath and immediately began consuming the magical power within his body to resurrect the person who had just died.

The Dao art 【Heart Thought Revival】 was activated. A blurry, illusory figure began to materialize out of thin air in front of Gu You. The phantom grew increasingly solid, eventually condensing into the form of a cultivator—precisely the one who had just been killed!

However, at this moment, the cultivator's aura was extremely weak, barely reaching the level of a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal.

"It really worked?" Bafeite was genuinely surprised.

Benjamin had scrutinized every detail of Gu You's casting process from the inside out, yet he couldn't discern the principle behind the resurrection. That mysterious man was one thing, but the current Gu You was only at the Tai Chi Realm. Benjamin saw everything Gu You did, yet he still couldn't figure out even a fraction of the mystery behind this resurrection art.

Benjamin looked towards the several elders of the Gaoyu Tribe and sent them a mental message: "I am the Great Elder of the Ancient Deities. Could you allow me to learn this resurrection art of your tribe? This deity is willing to pay a price that will satisfy you!"

"We are willing!" Jing Hunzi said solemnly.

They had already discussed this matter. This resurrection art was bound to attract the attention of these powerful beings. It was better to trade it openly and generously.

"However, comprehending this Dao art is extremely difficult. Since our tribe inherited it, only Gu You has managed to learn it. No one else has even begun to grasp it. Please understand, Great Elder!"

"This deity knows of this matter!"

The actions of the Ancient Deity Benjamin were also noticed by the others.

Consequently, they also began making trades with Jing Hunzi, Daoxian, and the others.

Soon, they all obtained the complete manual of the 【Heart Thought Revival】 Dao art. In return, Jing Hunzi and the others received an astonishing amount of cultivation resources, among which were a sea of Chaos Crystals, enough for all of them to break through to the City-Destroying Level!

After obtaining the Dao art, the Ancient Deity Benjamin began his research.

Within just a few breaths, he felt completely at a loss. He, a dignified Near King-level powerhouse, couldn't even find a starting point. He immediately realized that comprehending this Dao art was not something that could be accomplished in a short time.

Thus, very quickly, Gu You once again became the focus of everyone's attention.

Gu You swallowed hard.

After a brief exchange of mental messages with the others, Lu Donghe addressed Gu You, "Young brother Gu You, we will jointly fund your breakthrough to the Wuji Realm. In return, we collectively appoint you as a Special Elder of the Five-Nation Alliance. For each person you resurrect, you will receive corresponding contribution points from the Five Nations, which can be exchanged for resources and rewards in any one of our five nations. How about this cooperation?"

Gu You had no opportunity to refuse. He directly said, "I agree!"

Thus, Gu You was taken to a secret chamber. Before him were placed many extremely precious cultivation resources.

As if afraid Gu You wouldn't understand the value of these resources, their worth was labeled above them.

"Chaos Wuji Fruit: Consuming it grants a one-in-ten-thousand chance of breaking through to the Wuji Realm. Value: three Wuji Supreme Treasures."

"Tai Chi Magical Power Crystal: Essence condensed from the entire magical power origin of a Tai Chi Realm cultivator. Value: one Chaos Crystal!"

Treasure after treasure, resource after resource, were all available for Gu You to consume.

Without hesitation, Gu You immediately began using them.

His strength was rapidly increasing.

Above the Primordial Immortal City.

The atmosphere among the group relaxed slightly.

Lu Donghe proposed, "I suggest we fight using a war of attrition, slowly wearing down and killing the Wuji Realm powerhouses of the Eternal Nation. Our fallen warriors can be resurrected and gradually recover their combat power. Then, at the final moment, all our forces can strike together. The Eternal Nation is bound to suffer a great defeat!"

"This plan is excellent!" the Ancient Deity Benjamin chimed in. "If any one of us obtains that supreme treasure, we shall honor that person as our king, and the five great nations will be completely unified into a single country. What do you think?"

Everyone fell into contemplation.

Unifying five nations into one?

It was a very bold idea, but it was also an excellent way to resolve the current reservations in everyone's hearts.

"This idea is good. Let's settle on it!" A flash of determination passed through the eyes of the Ancient Monster Dijun.

The Ancient Buddha Shitian nodded. "When we eventually resolve the Eternal Nation and compete amongst ourselves later, we can fight without holding back. If someone dies, they die. But afterwards, the one who obtains the supreme treasure must help resurrect the deceased!"

"Agreed!"

This proposal was very good, and everyone approved.

Thus, the powerhouses of the Five Nations quickly solidified their thoughts and formulated their subsequent battle plan.

Using Gu You as the catalyst, the cohesion of the Five-Nation Alliance rapidly solidified.

The secret chamber where Gu You was located had been enveloped by a time field jointly erected by the powerhouses, accelerating time countless times over!

Gu You cultivated inside for hundreds of Yuan Assemblies, consuming a massive amount of resources, and finally reached the peak of the Tai Chi Realm!

But at this realm, he didn't have the slightest bit of confidence in breaking through to the Wuji Realm. Despite the numerous treasures before him, he estimated his success rate was less than one percent.

This success rate was too low!

He couldn't help but pray in his heart: "Patriarch! Patriarch, I beg you to bless me with a smooth and successful breakthrough to the Wuji Realm!"

Su Yuan's voice suddenly appeared in his mind: "Go ahead and break through with peace of mind. If your breakthrough doesn't go smoothly, I will directly elevate your cultivation to the Wuji Realm. Don't worry."

Hearing Su Yuan's response, Gu You's spirit was greatly uplifted at that moment!

Patriarch Su had actually responded to his prayer!

His confidence surged dramatically.

In his heart, there was nothing Su Yuan couldn't accomplish. So, he resolutely and decisively initiated his breakthrough!

And this very confidence of his greatly increased his own chances of successfully breaking through to the Wuji Realm on his own.
