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

Chapter 394: Changes in the Chaos

"Someone is planning to make a move against our God Realm Sea!"

Su Yuan looked into the distance and smiled lightly.

Lin Feng was startled. Upon seeing Su Yuan, he immediately said, "Brother Su, you've left seclusion?"

Nangong Xianweng felt nervous inside, but still offered a greeting: "Junior Brother Su, long time no see!"

Su Yuan smiled at them: "Senior Brother Nangong, Brother Lin Feng, hello to you both!"

Nangong Xianweng chuckled happily: "Good, I'm doing very well!"

Lin Feng sighed: "Not good. I'm still stuck at the bottleneck of the Wuji Realm."

Su Yuan addressed the two of them: "Let's form a small team and go meet them. Let's see what they're really made of. Combat is one of the best ways to improve cultivation and break through bottlenecks."

Nangong Xianweng said excitedly, "No problem! Should we call a few more people over?"

"Good, I'll go call them!"

Nangong Xianweng immediately contacted his juniors.

Thus, Zhuge Tao and Nangong Huoyu soon arrived as well.

Upon seeing Su Yuan, the two of them also greeted him somewhat formally.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Su!" they both said.

"Haha, your cultivation progress has been quite rapid too!"

Su Yuan laughed as he greeted them. These two were his lecture instructors when he first embarked on the immortal path, the senior brother and second senior sister of that time.

Now, their cultivation had already reached the Tai Chi Perfection stage, only a step away from the Wuji Realm. However, their bottleneck was far more difficult to overcome than Lin Feng's, almost impossible to break through on their own.

Nangong Xianweng chuckled: "You two are being too polite. Although your cultivation is higher and titles should change, there's no need to be so distant."

Zhuge Jian and Nangong Huoyu immediately relaxed a bit.

Lin Feng didn't notice anything unusual;he was just happy to have two Tai Chi Perfection stage disciples joining, so his own Tai Chi Perfection cultivation wouldn't stand out as much.

The five-person team was quickly established.

With Su Yuan as the captain, they accepted a reconnaissance mission in City No. 360, then stepped out of the city gates and entered the void.

Their figures concealed themselves, swiftly advancing towards the Chaos.

At this moment, the edge of the void was already devoid of people. Those cultivators who had appeared earlier had hidden back into the Chaotic Energy, disappearing from sight.

The five of them soon passed through the void region and stepped into the chaotic currents.

Their surroundings were indistinguishable, with no sense of direction, and they had no idea where the enemy was.

In Nangong Xianweng's hand, a map condensed: "This is a map of the chaotic currents in the nearby area!"

On the map, there were many different forms of air currents. Small chaotic currents were like streams, large ones like rivers, and the biggest ones like lakes or seas. Combined with the larger chaotic stone mountains formed from common chaotic boulders within the Chaos, along with some dangerous chaotic whirlpools and chaotic wonders, they formed a special chaotic map.

"Due to the attraction of our Seven Stars Realm Sea, the chaotic currents continuously flow towards us, forming chaotic rivers of varying sizes. Most have become fixed. In places where Chaotic Energy accumulates, chaotic boulders can form, even creating small chaotic island landmasses."

Nangong Xianweng pointed at several obvious chaotic lakes and chaotic stone mountains on the map as he explained.

Lin Feng said in surprise, "It's actually become like this?"

Su Yuan was also surprised. The Chaotic Energy within the Chaos originally flowed disorderly;there was no such thing as a map.

Yet, due to the attraction of the Seven Stars Realm Sea, relatively fixed mountain and river scenery had actually formed. Even the rules within were influenced by the Seven Stars Realm Sea, with Time and Space Rules becoming much clearer.

Nangong Xianweng smiled: "This map is the latest version I exchanged for from the sect. It was compiled after many disciples jointly explored the area. With this map, we can now advance to attack and retreat to defend!"

"So it was collected by the sect! I initially thought Grandfather collected it himself," Nangong Huoyu said regretfully.

Nangong Xianweng's expression stiffened. He coughed and looked at Su Yuan. "Captain, where do we go now?"

Su Yuan pointed to a location on the map: "This is a shallow area of a chaotic river. There are many chaotic islands there. It might be a temporary outpost for the external enemies. Let's go take a look!"

"Good!"

Following the plan, everyone slowly arrived at the location marked on the map.

Along the way, they didn't encounter any enemies. The Chaos was simply too vast;even tens of trillions of cultivators thrown into it wouldn't make much of a splash.

The five arrived at that shallow area.

In the distance, they could see a chaotic river formed from chaotic currents, surging and roaring as it rushed towards the Seven Stars Realm Sea behind them. The impact force of that river water had already reached the level of the Wuji Realm. It was simply unimaginable how terrifyingly massive the Seven Stars Realm Sea had become.

This river was very wide, reaching hundreds of billions of light-years. Where it meandered, the condensed Chaotic Energy solidified into stone. Chaotic boulders floated and coalesced there, forming chaotic islands that were then thrown out of the river and into the chaotic shallows.

Watching this scene, Lin Feng gradually entered a state of comprehension. Subconsciously, he began manipulating the flow of the chaotic currents, contemplating the Dao essence of the Wind Dao.

The others also fell into a state of enlightenment, contemplating this rare and wondrous chaotic spectacle.

But Su Yuan's [Daoist Techniques Naturally] was the most terrifying.

With just a slight glance, countless insights surged into his mind out of thin air. His comprehension of various rules also rapidly skyrocketed.

Many rules he hadn't pondered carefully before broke through their shackles during his contemplation, reaching the level of Dao Principles.

The Time Rule, Space Rule, Fate Rule, Five Elements Rule—many rules advanced further, reaching the level of Dao Principles!

Within the Chaos, rules did not exist, but Dao Principles did. Su Yuan could now invoke the power of Dao Principles like time and space, unleashing even more terrifying might.

By the time he regained his senses, this chaotic wonder had become ineffective for him. All insights had been absorbed by him, leaving no more mysteries.

Lin Feng and the others, however, were still in the midst of their contemplation, and what they were comprehending was merely the surface.

Su Yuan couldn't help but sigh: "Now my comprehension ability is too high, reaching an unbelievable degree. Cultivation insights have become easier than eating and drinking. Everything is on easy mode. It's been so long since I last felt the sensation of a bottleneck!"

He felt a bit envious of these people, who could continuously break through bottlenecks and become ecstatic over a little insight, while he had lost these experiences.

One could say that when a person gains something, they also lose something.

Su Yuan suddenly looked towards the rear. Beyond the chaotic currents were many mountains and rocks. Behind one of these rocks, several figures seemed to be peering in their direction.

"Huh, I haven't gone looking for them yet, and they've come looking for us first!"
