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

Chapter 389: The Gaze of a Sovereign-Level Power

"Brother Nangong? You're breaking through? Haven't you already reached the Tai Chi Perfection stage? Don't tell me you're about to break through to the Wuji Realm!"

Nangong Xianweng was also surprised. "Correct, I didn't expect to break through by accident either! I need to go back for my breakthrough! Farewell!"

Whoosh! Nangong Xianweng vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.

It wasn't just Nangong Xianweng. Lin Feng also noticed other disciples, their auras surging, each having broken through their realms to varying degrees!

"I thought I was the only one who had an epiphany, but it turns out everyone is breaking through!" Lin Feng was speechless.

On second thought, the disciples of the Seven Stars Sect were peerless geniuses selected from hundreds of billions of God Realm Seas. Each possessed exceptional talent. It was only normal for them to gain some insights when faced with such a wondrous spectacle of a God Realm Sea devouring and expanding!

Lin Feng sighed and returned to the sect, seeking out Su Yuan.

When he sensed Su Yuan's aura, however, he discovered that Su Yuan had already reached the late stage of the Tai Chi Realm.

"Su Yuan, do you have any pills you could lend me? I want to take some to boost my cultivation first. I'll pay you back the contribution points after I complete my mission!" Lin Feng said somewhat sheepishly.

Su Yuan directly handed over ten thousand supreme-grade Tai Chi Realm cultivation pills to Lin Feng.

Seeing so many pills, Lin Feng was a bit dumbfounded. He finally understood just how incredibly wealthy Su Yuan was!

Within the Seven Stars Realm Sea, another thirty thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Feng officially reached the Tai Chi Perfection stage, just one step away from the Wuji Realm. However, this bottleneck was simply too immense, and Lin Feng was unable to break through in the short term.

Yet, when he went to find Su Yuan, he discovered he could no longer see through Su Yuan's cultivation level.

"You... you haven't already broken through to the Wuji Realm, have you?" Lin Feng's eyes widened.

"Just a fluke! A fluke!" Su Yuan said with a hearty laugh.

The corner of Lin Feng's mouth twitched, and he let out a deep sigh. "Alright, I'm off to earn some contribution points."

Lin Feng turned and left.

Su Yuan glanced at his system panel. Over thirty thousand years, he had managed to milk another full ninety thousand Dao Source Fame Points from Lin Feng.

"Relentlessly shearing the same sheep is truly a sin!"

Right at that moment.

Su Yuan vaguely sensed a certain prying gaze turning to look in his direction.

[Duty in Peril] began flashing wildly, startling Su Yuan greatly.

In an instant, Su Yuan concealed himself and sped towards Lin Feng, hiding within Lin Feng's shadow.

Far away, on the Chaos Continent.

Within a Chaotic Empire located in the very central region, a Sovereign-level power gazed towards the direction of the God Realm Sea in the chaos.

A detailed intelligence report lay on the desk before him.

"A God Realm Sea cluster of exceptionally vast size has appeared in the Chaos. The currently confirmed number of God Realm Seas has reached one hundred trillion. They are extremely close to each other and have become a training and conflict zone for Empires, Kingdoms, and even rogue cultivators!"

"Within these God Realm Seas, four strange forces exist: the Abyss, Treasure Monsters, Calamity Fiends, and the Seven Stars. The strangest aspect of these four forces is that killing creatures belonging to their factions yields four types of precious treasures. Some boost cultivation, some break through bottlenecks, some are used for forging supreme treasures, and some enhance fortune. They have become treasures that all living beings flock to."

"Due to the peculiar nature of these four forces, the Kingdoms and Empires, despite having located their lairs, have not carried out complete extermination. Instead, they allow these four forces to develop, waiting for a certain period before wiping out their wings, causing them to repeatedly generate resources."

This Emperor was not concerned with these four forces. His focus was on the God Realm Seas themselves.

The number of God Realm Seas was vast, but quantity alone was meaningless. These things held no value for an Emperor.

However, upon seeing this report, he received an enlightenment from a Dao Principle. He had found a clue leading to an opportunity to become a Dao Lord.

Immediately, this Wuji Realm Emperor did not hesitate. Using an extremely mysterious Dao Principle, he extended the tendrils of his perception beyond the Chaos Continent, into the endless chaos.

In his vision, a multitude of God Realm Seas appeared, one after another, as neat and uniform as wheat seedlings in a field. If this wasn't a man-made factor, he wouldn't believe it at all.

He skimmed past countless God Realm Seas, saw the myriad beings, and also saw Su Yuan (Abyss) and Little Cai. He specifically observed the origin of these abnormal forces like Su Yuan (Abyss). He saw the underlying rules within these creatures. These rules weren't particularly complex. Although there were traces of artificial creation, they weren't worth his attention.

He continued to look at the scene further away. Finally, he saw an extremely peculiar God Realm Sea—the Seven Stars Realm Sea!

In his vision, the Seven Stars Realm Sea was abnormally massive, billions of times larger than the tiny dots representing the adjacent God Realm Seas!

This immediately captured this Emperor's gaze.

He pierced through the God Realm Sea Barrier and began surveying the entire interior of that Realm Sea.

"This Realm Sea has actually broken free from the restrictions of reincarnation! It has the potential to develop into a Chaos Continent!"

In an instant, he discerned the source of this Realm Sea's abnormality. This shocked him greatly. Such a method was something even he couldn't accomplish. Could this be the handiwork of a Dao Lord?

His expression turned grave. He began scanning the entire Realm Sea and finally found an anomalous individual.

This person was merely at the Tai Chi Perfection stage. Yet, when he looked at this person, he felt an inexplicable sense of being unable to see through him. At first, he didn't notice anything different about this person, but after meticulously examining the entire Realm Sea a thousand times, he finally discovered this person's anomaly.

"This person..."

Several conjectures arose in this Emperor's mind.

He took a deep breath and summoned his Sovereign-level divination supreme treasure, beginning to deduce the circumstances of this person.

A mere seven days later.

This Emperor's body exploded violently into fragments, reducing an entire palace complex to ruins.

A full hundred years later, those fragments finally trembled and gathered in one place, coalescing back into an Emperor's form.

This Emperor's face was pale, his expression shifting uncertainly.

The elusive trace of a Dao Lord, so difficult to find in the world, had actually been discovered by him. Although he had paid the price of one life for it, fortunately, the "Dao Lord's" trace didn't seem particularly strong. He hadn't been directly counteracted to the point of being unable to resurrect.

"Could this Realm Sea be the very foundation upon which the other party achieves the Dao Lord status?"

This Emperor hesitated internally. Legend said that any action that obstructs a Dao Lord's path to enlightenment would transform into an aid for the Dao Lord.

If he made a move, could he truly snatch this piece of meat right under the Dao Lord's nose?

"No. Since I have already discovered him, I am already a part of the Dao Lord's path to enlightenment. No matter what choice I make, it is already useless. In that case, why shouldn't I gamble one more time?"

This Emperor's gaze turned profound. He had already made up his mind to seize this Realm Sea. However, he definitely could not act with his own Sovereign-level power, as that would inevitably lead to unforeseen consequences, even though he didn't know how those consequences would arise.
