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

Chapter 422: The Second Dao Principle! Star Dao Principle!

While mastering the True Name Dao Principle, Su Yuan also simultaneously gained control over the Nine Stars Land.

At this moment, the Star Dao Principle within the Nine Stars Land had already reached a level infinitely close to that of a Dao Lord.

He only needed to expend Dao Source Points to master his second Dao Principle.

But there was no rush on this matter.

Su Yuan began to probe all living beings within the Chaos, searching for new Dao Lord seedlings.

After probing them all, after examining the endless multitude of beings, not a single being destined to become a Dao Lord was found.

Su Yuan slightly frowned. "If I rely on them autonomously birthing Dao Lords, the chances are far too slim."

He suddenly remembered the grand promises he had made before, and his eyes lit up!

"Before, I was just bluffing them, I never intended to give out a sufficient quantity of Dao Source Points. But now..."

A thought stirred in Su Yuan's heart. If someone truly managed to break through to Dao Lord level using Dao Source Value, and did so within the Nine Stars Land, wouldn't they immediately fall under his control?

Dao Source Points had allowed *him* to break through to the Dao Lord level;it was certainly possible they could help others break through too!

"If that's the case, I don't need to wait for other Dao Lord seedlings to appear anymore. I can just cultivate a few myself!"

Having thought this, Su Yuan did not hesitate any longer and directly began to master the Star Dao Principle!

Sure enough, he discovered that the difficulty of comprehending the Star Dao Principle skyrocketed. Clearly, the Star Dao Principle was more superficial and easier than the True Name Dao Principle, and his own insights into it were not low either. Yet, the difficulty of completely mastering it was actually greater.

He used Dao Source Points without hesitation!

One trillion Dao Source Value evaporated into thin air!

He gained control over all the stars within the endless God Realm Sea, whether they were material stars or conceptual ones, all fell under his command!

Su Yuan did not hesitate, continuing to consume Dao Source Value.

Five trillion was rapidly consumed.

All the stars within the Chaos were brought under Su Yuan's control!

Finally, after mastering the inanimate stars, he still needed to master the stars of life.

Every living being possessed stars within their bodies. The three hundred and sixty-five major acupoints of the Great Heavenly Cycle, the one hundred and eight thousand minor acupoints, the Dantian, the Sea of Consciousness—all were essentially starry skies!

The growth of living beings was also bestowed by the stars, nourished by the sun, sustained by the earth. Life itself was part of the stars! Could a star without life still be considered a star of life?

Therefore, this was a massive undertaking, requiring a vast consumption of Dao Source Value.

But Su Yuan discovered that this step had actually become simpler. Coincidentally, he had expanded the Nine Stars Land, accommodating endless living beings, allowing them to birth their Lifebound Stars. This step directly simplified the process of mastery.

It was as if he had foreseen it, paving the way for him to master his second Dao Principle.

Originally requiring over several hundred trillion to master the stars of life, under the effect of the 【Nine Stars Land】, the difficulty inexplicably dropped by a hundredfold. In the end, he only spent four trillion Dao Source Points to successfully master the stars of life!

Thus, within the Chaos, in the areas covered by the Star Dao Principle, the strange phenomenon of Dao Principle vibrations appeared once again!

Countless living beings felt as if everything in the world had changed, yet they couldn't quite say what exactly had changed.

The Primordial Emperor stared blankly in all directions. As far as his eyes could see, the Star Rule was cheering and leaping for joy, as if all beings were celebrating the birth of a new Dao Lord!

The Primordial Emperor suddenly felt this was absurd.

"Someone else has broken through to Dao Lord? This time, it's the Star Dao Principle?"

The Primordial Emperor was utterly shocked.

He didn't fully understand the previous True Name Dao Principle, but he naturally understood the Star Dao Principle. He had even mastered an Emperor-level Star Dao Principle himself!

It just wasn't his main cultivation Dao Principle!

He had never imagined that the Star Dao Principle actually had no Dao Lord in control. Was it possible that such a common Dao Principle had no master?

This defied logic!

If he had known earlier, he would have studied the Star Dao Principle!

"Wait, that's not right. Within the Nine Stars Land, don't Lifebound Stars exist? Aren't these Lifebound Stars under the control of a Dao Lord?"

He immediately sensed the interior of the Nine Stars Land. His own Lifebound Star hadn't changed at all;it still shone with stellar radiance, still guiding his path forward.

A bitter smile appeared on the Primordial Emperor's face. He could feel that his ability to use the Star Dao Principle was completely unaffected, and the power of his techniques showed no difference. But he knew that this path was now completely blocked.

The Star Dao Principle was already under a Dao Lord's control. The fact that he could still use it now was only because that Dao Lord tacitly permitted it. Otherwise, his comprehension of the Star Dao Principle would instantly become invalid!

Coming back to his senses, the Primordial Emperor offered congratulations to heaven and earth, expressing his respect for the Dao Lord.

However, the Primordial Emperor discovered that this newly ascended Dao Lord, just like the previous one, had not shown himself. He didn't even know who that Dao Lord was.

"Wait... I think I've discovered a major problem!"

The Primordial Emperor suddenly realized that before a Dao Lord ascended, they were definitely at the Great Emperor level!

And they were definitely at the peak of Great Emperor level. That meant these two newly ascended Dao Lords were absolutely existences that had already been Great Emperors for a long time!

He sensed the other three Great Emperors;they all remained as they were.

"That means there are more Great Emperors in the Chaos than just us few! And the number is definitely not small. Otherwise, two Dao Lords couldn't have been born!"

He suddenly felt like a clown, being observed in secret by many Great Emperors of the same realm. He also felt like a fool, showing off under the gaze of the Dao Lords and the multitude of Great Emperors.

And at this moment.

Su Yuan felt the changes within himself.

After mastering two Dao Principles, his strength had indeed increased by a great, great deal!

The perfectly combined power of two Dao Principles was enough to easily suppress nine separate First Dao Principles!

Within the 【Nine Stars Land】, he had completely gained a dominant position, capable of accommodating the addition of other Dao Lords.

"Ye Fan, Zhou Hao, Xuan Huang (Island Spirit), plus Lin Feng—that's already four! Adding four more will be enough!"

Su Yuan glanced at Su Yuan (Abyss), Su Qian, Su Li, and Su Si. He looked them over and shook his head. Judging by their innate talent, the possibility of these four achieving Dao Lord status was minuscule. If he tried using Dao Source Points, even several thousand trillion probably wouldn't be enough.

"If they can rely on their own power to break through to Imperial-level and Emperor-level, then maybe there's a sliver of hope."

Su Yuan felt it was still better to scout for ready-made Great Emperors. Many of these Great Emperors had been at the peak level for countless years, already extremely close to breaking through to Dao Lord.

"Those one hundred and three Great Emperors are still hiding! They haven't even entered the Nine Stars Land yet. I need to find a way to lure them in!"

Su Yuan pondered for a moment. "If even one among Ye Fan and the others could ascend to Dao Lord within the Nine Stars Land, then everyone would inevitably flock to it!"
