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

Chapter 426: Inviting the Great Emperors

"My first requirement for you is to comprehend this Hunyuan Ruyi Diagram!"

Su Yuan waved his hand grandly, and a diagram appeared before them.

The Primordial Emperor looked at the diagram, seeing patterns of darkness being born and extinguished, and light existing eternally.

When he awoke from his contemplation, Su Yuan's figure was already gone.

He looked to the side and saw that the Severing Ancient Emperor had already regained clarity.

"Severing Ancient, what do you think?" the Primordial Emperor asked.

Severing Ancient said calmly, "I have just checked the Seven Stars Sect's treasury records. The Rule Source Stars do not exist within it. In fact, this thing has never appeared in the treasury before. Furthermore, that instructor Su Yuan has never taken on disciples before. Yet it just so happens to appear after we joined!"

"So?" the Primordial Emperor asked, puzzled.

"So, I suspect that this Instructor Su Yuan is precisely the Patriarch of the Seven Stars Sect. He should have recognized our identities! I suspect he is the newly ascended Star Dust Dao Lord! His purpose in getting close to Lin Feng should be the same as ours: to observe or befriend Lin Feng!"

The corner of the Primordial Emperor's mouth twitched. Although he had also vaguely suspected something, he didn't expect Severing Ancient to be more direct, actually taking Su Yuan as the Seven Stars Patriarch? Was that possible? It really might be!

"What did you see in this Hunyuan Ruyi Diagram?"

"I saw the evolution of light and darkness, the rotation of the Taiji Yin-Yang Great Dao. Hah, I have already comprehended it!" the Primordial Emperor said casually.

The Severing Ancient Emperor said indifferently, "I only saw the principle of cosmic birth and destruction: the eternal silence of the universe and the explosion of the universe!"

The Primordial Emperor was stunned and continued to look at the Hunyuan Ruyi Diagram.

As his thoughts changed, this diagram underwent another tremendous transformation in his eyes.

He saw the wondrous scene of the Five Elements alternating and the world achieving perfect harmony.

"What kind of diagram is this?" The Primordial Emperor was suddenly shocked.

Seeing his reaction, the Severing Ancient Emperor knew he had also discovered the marvelous nature of the Hunyuan Ruyi Diagram.

Not long after, the Void Great Emperor and the Endless Emperor also regained clarity.

Hearing the Severing Ancient Emperor's judgment, they immediately felt it was unbelievable.

They all fell somewhat silent.

The Void Great Emperor sighed, "Those Rule Source Stars... are simply not something an ordinary Wuji Realm cultivator could produce, and he just gave them out as a meeting gift!"

At this moment, the Primordial Emperor asked curiously, "By the way, Void, is your Void Empire still fighting against the Seven Stars God Realm Sea?"

The Void Great Emperor was taken aback, looking awkward as he said, "Indeed it is."

"Then you'd better call it off quickly!" the Primordial Emperor said.

The Void Great Emperor checked the situation of the allied forces, his expression turning strange. "Now, the allied forces are no longer led by the Void Empire. All the imperial kingdoms and kingdoms of the Chaos Continent have inexplicably been drawn into this great war. They have all joined the allied forces. The members of the Void Empire are now extremely few, and the name has long been changed to the Hundred Kingdoms Alliance."

The Endless Emperor then asked, "Then should we be open and honest with our instructor?"

Severing Ancient said bluntly, "Since he doesn't bring it up, we don't need to expose it. This is all just speculation."

In the end, the four of them still immersed themselves in the Hunyuan Ruyi Diagram, continuing to contemplate its mysteries.

Su Yuan was also observing the several of them.

He wasn't too surprised that they could discover his identity.

He didn't care at all about exposing his identity;they couldn't spread it anyway.

What he cared about was, what was the talent of these four people like?

In a short time, the Dao Source Fame Points he could obtain were not much. Currently, he had a remaining total of 12 trillion Dao Source Fame Points. Adding what he could subsequently obtain from Lin Feng's side, the maximum he could accumulate would be 22 trillion Dao Source Fame Points.

Divided among four people, each person would get at most five trillion points.

Yet his own breakthrough back then cost around 10 trillion.

The Hunyuan Ruyi Diagram was a Dao Principle Diagram he formed by merging all the Dao Principles he currently knew, excluding those that might already have a proven Dao Lord.

He hoped these four could, within the stipulated time, excavate as much of the true meaning contained within as possible.

However, from what he just saw, the talent of these few was worse than his own.

He estimated that the best among them, the Severing Ancient Emperor, would also need 15 trillion Dao Source points to break through. This gap was too large.

"Wait, I miscalculated. As long as 10 trillion points can nurture one person, that's enough. After they break through, I can continue to obtain Dao Source points from them."

"I still need to attract the remaining one hundred and three Great Emperors into the Nine Stars Land. I need to check their aptitudes one by one."

While deep in thought.

Su Yuan suddenly decided to take a risk.

In an instant, Su Yuan appeared within the Nine Stars Land.

Here, a majestic Heavenly Palace materialized out of thin air.

One hundred and seven invitations flew out from the Heavenly Palace, instantly crossing endless distances to land upon the bodies of various Great Emperors.

Great Emperors hidden in forbidden lands, secret realms, and mysterious places beyond the Chaos all received invitations. Every Great Emperor was greatly startled in their hearts.

At the location of the Primordial Emperor's true body.

While cultivating, he suddenly sensed an anomaly appear before him.

He extended his perception but detected nothing unusual.

But when he opened his eyes to look, he saw a letter!

The Primordial Emperor was greatly shocked.

He immediately took the letter and examined it!

[I am the Star Dust Dao Lord. Today, I have established the Nine Radiance Star Palace within the Nine Stars Land. I specially invite all living Great Emperors to gather. I will share the experience of breaking through to Dao Lord to settle Chaos karma. Those carrying the invitation can shield their own karma, with no need to worry about others spying.]

The Primordial Emperor was startled. He didn't expect it to be an invitation from the Star Dust Dao Lord. He originally thought the Star Dust Dao Lord would also remain hidden like the True Name Dao Lord, but now he was directly inviting all the Great Emperors.

Thinking of this, the Primordial Emperor thought of the instructor Su Yuan he had just paid respects to.

Was Su Yuan actually that Star Dust Dao Lord?

Regardless, this was an opportunity to meet a Dao Lord in person, and a great chance to investigate the crisis of the Dao Lords.

So he accepted the invitation without hesitation.

From the invitation, a mysterious power enveloped his body. He felt himself cut off from the outside world;no one could spy on his true identity!

This made him sigh in relief.

He also didn't contact the Severing Ancient Emperor and the others, directly activating the teleportation channel on the invitation.

Thus, a strand of his consciousness directly traversed space-time, appearing at the highest point in the Nine Stars Land.

Looking down, he could see four massive Great Emperor stars shining below in the starry sky, with quite a few Imperial-level stars shining even further below. The countless Lifebound Stars scattered throughout the starry sea were like countless twinkling stars, too many to count.

Looking up, a Heavenly Palace came into view.
