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

Chapter 368: Su Jin’s Secret Move

Su Yuan was currently hiding within the Primordial Body.

The treasure fluctuations emitted by the Primordial Body served as his "eyes," allowing him to perceive all changes in the outside world with extreme clarity.

He was even monitoring Su Jin's every move, and Su Jin remained completely unaware of this!

Su Jin could sense the treasure's fluctuations, but he could never have imagined that behind these fluctuations was another cultivator!

Su Yuan currently had no intention of interfering. No matter how these people fought or schemed, he believed Su Jin would ultimately obtain the treasure. And when that time came... tsk! tsk! tsk!

Su Yuan remained calm and composed, patiently waiting for events to unfold.

A hundred years wasn't too long or too short. It was enough time for a batch of Hunyuan cultivators to be born in the God Realm Sea Garden, feeding back some Fame Points to him. When the time came, he would absolutely give Su Jin a devastating blow, leaving him no chance to react!

...

At this moment, Su Jin vaguely sensed a sliver of danger.

He rarely experienced such crisis warnings in his life, but every time they appeared, it represented a life-or-death calamity. During the most dangerous treasure-seizing crisis, he was forced to reincarnate, his True Spirit fragments scattering into the God Realm Sea. He only managed to reincarnate that time thanks to seizing the True Name Jade Disc, relying on its miraculous properties to return through reincarnation.

Now, with another sense of crisis appearing, he became extremely cautious.

"Why would the mere Five-Nation Alliance make me feel a sense of crisis?"

This was incomprehensible to Su Jin. He controlled the True Name Jade Disc·Pseudo, possessed three Eternal Traits, had a large number of ordinary traits, his cultivation was infinitely close to King-level, and he possessed a great many supreme treasures. With such strength, he was essentially no different from a King-level cultivator. What means could possibly threaten him?

"I must find a way to investigate what trump cards the Five-Nation Alliance actually has!"

Su Jin felt he could not underestimate his opponents. After all, these were five ancient nations!

The establishment of every ancient nation required a King-level Wuji Realm cultivator. Who knew where their founding monarchs were now? Perhaps some founding powerhouses had already returned. If that were the case, his attempt to seize the treasure would be fraught with danger!

Therefore, he immediately activated the hidden move he had left behind in the Ancient Immortal Nation!

Long before conquering the four great ancient nations, Su Jin had left a hidden move in the Ancient Immortal Nation, a very secret and well-concealed contingency.

Originally, he disdained using this hidden move, but now with a crisis lurking in the shadows, he had no choice but to be extra careful and cautious.

Within the Ancient Immortal Nation.

A Continent-City Level general opened his eyes, a concealed divine light flashing within them.

In deep thought, he began to cultivate.

It was as if he had touched the bottleneck of the Near King-level realm and began his breakthrough.

His comprehension and evolution of rules advanced a step further, reaching a higher level. He was only a step away from elevating them to Dao Principles.

His breakthrough immediately alerted the higher-ups of the Ancient Immortal Nation.

Lu Donghe personally came to the outside of his secluded cultivation chamber, looking joyfully towards the sealed room.

A person in charge nearby introduced, "Ancient Immortal King, this is Wu Wei, the seventh general of the Sixth Legion. He has fought for the Ancient Immortal Nation for hundreds of Kalpas."

"It's him. This king knows him!"

The Ancient Immortal King smiled with satisfaction. He had rewarded Wu Wei three times before. For him to personally appear and bestow rewards indicated significant merit. Now, to be able to break through before the battle was enough to increase their chances of victory by another fraction! A most joyous and congratulatory event!

Soon, millions of years passed under time acceleration inside the sealed chamber, while only a quarter of an hour passed in the outside world.

Wu Wei smoothly walked out of the chamber.

Seeing the Ancient Immortal King, a flicker of respect passed through his cold eyes.

"Wu Wei pays his respects to the Ancient Immortal King!"

"At ease. From today onward, you are the forty-eighth Near King-level Elder of the Ancient Immortal Nation! You need not bow when seeing this king!" the Ancient Immortal King said with a loud laugh.

Wu Wei said respectfully, "I, Wu, was nurtured by the Ancient Immortal Nation, cultivated all the way from the Tai Chi Realm to my current level. That is how I achieved Near King-level cultivation. My cultivation is all thanks to your assistance, Ancient Immortal King. I have also received your guidance. If the Ancient Immortal King does not find it presumptuous, I am willing to address you as teacher!"

The Ancient Immortal King was greatly pleased, chuckling as he said, "I only gave you a few dozen instances of guidance, which you exchanged with your contributions. I do not deserve the title of teacher!"

Wu Wei said earnestly, "Your teachings had a great impact on me. Especially this breakthrough;it was by recalling that blade light you demonstrated back then that I managed to break through! Therefore, you deserve the title of teacher. If the Ancient Immortal King does not acknowledge it, I will privately address you as teacher!"

The Ancient Immortal King waved his hand with a chuckle. "It is the result of your own efforts. How you address me is up to you. Now, come with me to the Royal Hall!"

"As you command!" Wu Wei lowered his head, an unfathomable glint appearing in his eyes.

Not long after.

Wu Wei was brought to the Royal Hall by the Ancient Immortal King's Avatar.

Here, almost all the Elders of the Ancient Immortal Nation had already gathered.

When Wu Wei arrived, they all offered him their congratulations.

"Congratulations, Wu Wei! You are now an Elder too!"

"Congratulations! With the great battle imminent, having one more Elder really boosts morale!"

"Congratulations! Congratulations!"

Wu Wei repeatedly expressed his thanks, soon exchanging formal greetings with each Elder one by one.

Naturally, Wu Wei knew every Elder, and the Elders also had an impression of cultivators with the potential to break through. Therefore, there was no sense of unfamiliarity between Wu Wei and the others;he quickly integrated into the circle of Elders.

Lu Donghe smiled as he watched this scene, then announced clearly, "This king declares Wu Wei to be the Forty-Eighth Elder! Bestow upon him Elder robes, one Near King-level supreme treasure! One million Chaos Crystals! One Near King-level Chaos Beast crystal! Three bottles of Near King-level elixirs! One inner-city mansion!"

Wu Wei immediately bowed. "Thank you for your gracious reward, Teacher!"

The Elders below all looked at Wu Wei with envy.

When previous Elders broke through, they only received a set of Continent-City Level supreme treasure equipment, not a single Near King-level supreme treasure. This was obviously because the war was approaching, so strengthening the new Elder's combat power took priority.

Some Elders who heard Wu Wei's form of address had strange expressions, as if seeing him in a new light, surprised he would try to forge such a connection.

The Ancient Immortal King smiled slightly. "Now that everyone is gathered, I have an important piece of news to share."

The Elders all assumed solemn expressions.

Wu Wei also quickly perked up his ears.

The Ancient Immortal King said with a grave expression, "Our Ancient Immortal Nation has joined forces with the four great ancient nations. We have agreed that whoever first obtains a King-level supreme treasure will become the common monarch of our five nations! Our five nations will unite and merge to form a new ancient nation!"

This news caused many Elders to look shocked.

Wu Wei's expression also flickered slightly;he had instantly obtained crucial intelligence.

"Of course, that is not the most important news. This king, along with the four great ancient nations, has jointly appointed a Special Invited Elder. He has only just broken through to the Wuji Realm, yet he possesses a Resurrection Dao Technique capable of resurrecting everyone after you have completely perished. Now, let us welcome Elder Gu to meet everyone!"

The Ancient Immortal King looked towards a doorway in the corner.

Gu You walked out with confident strides, his body already radiating the aura of the Wuji Realm.
