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

Chapter 398: The Nine-Star Realm Is Successfully Built—First Stage Complete!

With the Seven Stars Realm Sea as the center, an intangible dimension began to spread and extend outward.

Within the Seven Stars Realm Sea, no matter the location, one could connect to the 【Nine Stars Land】.

Furthermore, the moment all living beings were covered by the 【Nine Stars Land】, their own Lifebound Star was born inside the 【Nine Stars Land】!

All living beings automatically unlocked a new cultivation method: communicating with and anchoring their Lifebound Star, channeling down stellar power to enhance their cultivation. When the time came to prove the Dao and attain Hunyuan, they could directly place their Dao Fruit upon their Lifebound Star.

At that point, if the Lifebound Star does not perish, the Dao Fruit will not be destroyed. If the Dao Fruit is not destroyed, the True Spirit will not be annihilated. If the True Spirit is not annihilated, life will not cease!

The final destination of a life's True Spirit would no longer be the Nine Purity Land, but the Nine Stars Land. The Lifebound Star would be both a tomb and a new starting point.

The Nine Stars Land dimension continued its expansion and soon reached the chaotic regions surrounding the Seven Stars Realm Sea. The numerous cultivators wandering here were also affected by the Nine Stars Land, generating their own Lifebound Stars.

Su Yuan had invested an enormous amount of Dao Source Fame Points into the 【Nine Stars Land】, and its coverage was far greater than that. He soon expanded the Nine Stars Land to encompass the entire God Realm Sea Garden. Hundreds of millions upon millions of Realm Seas and the chaos in their vicinity were all connected to the 【Nine Stars Land】 dimension!

After covering the cluster of Realm Seas, Su Yuan then manipulated the 【Nine Stars Land】 to cover the Realm Seas he had already explored. All the Realm Seas scattered throughout the chaos, as long as Su Yuan knew of them, were all covered by Su Yuan's Nine Stars Land.

Additionally, on the Chaos Continent, the 【Nine Stars Land】 also began to spread from both the Eternal Kingdom and the Primordial Kingdom towards other parts of the Chaos Continent. However, at this point, Su Yuan slightly controlled the speed of the coverage.

During the expansion of the 【Nine Stars Land】, Su Yuan did not come into contact with the 【Nine Nether Realm】 or the 【Nine Purity Land】. The two dimensions seemed to not exist at all.

The Nine Stars Land did not intersect with them, existing as three completely parallel dimensions. They transcended the mundane world, yet influenced every aspect of it, being the true masters of the Great Dao.

And now, Su Yuan was taking the same kind of action. He too would create a brand new dimension, influencing billions of living beings!

"No Dao Lord has appeared to intervene. Could it be no one has noticed?"

Su Yuan nervously observed the changes in the world. When he began the expansion, he predicted someone would step forward to intervene in his actions. But to his surprise, there was none!

Not a single person jumped out to cause him trouble!

Su Yuan thought about it. Perhaps it was because he still hadn't opened the dimensional channel. Currently, no living beings had connected to their Lifebound Stars, so in a sense, the 【Nine Stars Land】 still existed in a state of "non-existence".

"In that case, I'll just cover the entire Chaos Continent first!"

After some consideration, Su Yuan immediately increased the coverage speed of the 【Nine Stars Land】!

As he continuously consumed Eternal Fame Value, a vast number of Lifebound Stars would appear out of thin air within the Nine Stars Land!

The appearance of Lifebound Stars inside the 【Nine Stars Land】 also had a cost. These costs were temporarily covered by Su Yuan using Eternal Fame Value.

The initial Lifebound Stars didn't need to be of high quality either;just having a phantom shadow was enough. When cultivators practiced, they could transmit their own power to their Lifebound Star, enhancing its power. He hadn't wasted his energy to create the Nine Stars Land to run a charity!

And every cultivator who practiced with their Lifebound Star would automatically provide Su Yuan with Fame Points, whether it was ordinary Fame Points, Eternal Fame Points, or Dao Source Fame Points—all were what he needed!

Su Yuan's expansion speed was extremely fast. The characteristics of traits like 【World Traveler】, 【Mental Echo】, and 【Corridor of Time】 made the expansion speed of the 【Nine Stars Land】 incredibly swift. By the time it truly covered the entire chaos, any living being could resonate with their own Lifebound Star from any location!

Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, ten years had gone by!

In just ten short years, the entire Chaos Continent had been completely covered by the 【Nine Stars Land】!

With the Chaos Continent as the center, the chaos within the currently explored range and the Realm Seas within that chaos were all covered by the 【Nine Stars Land】. Moreover, the edges of the 【Nine Stars Land】 were still continuously expanding outward!

"It's done!"

Su Yuan took a deep breath, suddenly feeling the power within him was both immense and hollow!

The immensity came from the expansion of the 【Nine Stars Land】, which caused Su Yuan's strength to skyrocket. Although his cultivation realm was still at the Imperial-level, it was incomparable to before!

Within any area covered by the 【Nine Stars Land】, he could mobilize the power of the 【Nine Stars Land】. And now, the power of the 【Nine Stars Land】 had already surpassed the Imperial-level, reaching the Great Emperor level!

This was far stronger than simply being the 【Chaos Continent Lord】 or the 【Realm Sea Supreme Ruler】. There were no longer any geographical restrictions!

If anyone dared to fight him inside the 【Nine Stars Land】, he could even let them experience firsthand what level an Absolute Controller truly is!

"If I'm inside the Nine Stars Land right now, I'm practically no different from a Dao Lord!"

Thinking of this, Su Yuan simply integrated 【Daoist Techniques Naturally】, 【Duty in Peril】, and 【Equivalent Annihilation】 into the super-trait that was the 【Nine Stars Land】.

Three more Dao Principles were instantly added to the interior of the entire 【Nine Stars Land】, making it even more powerful.

Su Yuan ultimately kept the original 【Balancing Work and Rest】 on himself. If he didn't retain this trait, the 【True Name Jade Disc】 would transform into a 【Nine Stars Jade Disc】, and the power of True Names would convert and disappear. That wasn't necessary. He needed the power of True Names, and he also needed the power of the Nine Stars!

The reason Su Yuan felt hollow was because currently, all the Lifebound Stars within the Nine Stars Land were like phantom seeds. They needed living beings to supplement them with power for them to truly grow.

If all living beings were to connect to their Lifebound Stars, then the 【Nine Stars Land】 could directly crown him with the title of "Dao Lord"!

"Let's begin!"

With a thought, Su Yuan chose to open the 【Nine Stars Land】!

Thus, whether on the Chaos Continent, deep within the void, or across the endless Realm Seas, all living beings could connect to this new dimension.

And the first person to notice the anomaly was the cultivator with the highest cultivation on the Chaos Continent—the Primordial Emperor!

"Hmm? This emperor actually has an additional, unknown strand of karma?"

The Primordial Emperor was contemplating the matter of the future Dao Lord when he suddenly discovered that an extra, faint strand of karma had appeared on his person out of thin air.

He possessed a flawless body, a self-consistent form of karma. It was impossible for any extra strands of karma to leak out, yet now there was one more.

This immediately put him on high alert.

He stared at that strand of karma, extending his will along it to investigate.

Then he felt his will penetrate a membrane, arriving at a place filled with endless stars!
