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

Chapter 497: Lance’s Verbal Seduction

Outside the Heavenly Dao Platform.

The number of people gathered there had already grown larger and larger, with cultivator after cultivator craning their necks to look inside the Heavenly Dao Platform.

Each of their faces wore expressions of astonishment.

They had all come to witness the newly advanced Dao Venerables belonging to the Seven Stars Dao Palace.

Within the Dao Venerable Tower, many other Dao Venerable Elders had already sent their Avatars to observe, not just the initial three of Dao Venerable Tuota, Ji Bai, and Tailao.

There were now over twenty Dao Venerable Elders.

The six newly advanced Dao Venerables—Su Li, Su Qian, Yin Xing, Nangong Xianweng, Wuzhong, and Lan Si—were all here waiting for the results of the others.

Dao Venerable Tuota moved close to Lan Si and asked curiously, "Junior Brother Lan Si, you are all from the Seven Stars Dao Palace. Could you reveal the secret of how so many of you managed to break through to Dao Venerable? We are extremely curious about this point."

Lan Si glanced at Su Li and the others.

So, Lan Si let out a hearty laugh and said, "The reason we could break through to Dao Venerable with such a high success rate is naturally due to the help of our Patriarch, the Seven Stars Dao Sovereign. There are several aspects to this."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately pricked up their ears to listen.

Dao Venerable Tuota hurriedly asked, "What are they?"

"First, our Seven Stars Patriarch is very skilled at guiding disciples. His understanding of the Dao has reached an inconceivable level. He can explain every single Dao Principle clearly and thoroughly, making everything extremely detailed! All Dao Principles are explained to us in immense detail. As long as we follow the path pointed out by the Seven Stars Patriarch, we can progress smoothly!"

Lan Si immediately praised, "You should know, my Enlightenment Dao Principle was also pointed out by the Seven Stars Patriarch!"

Upon hearing this, the group of Elders immediately felt a surge of reverence for the Seven Stars Dao Sovereign. To be able to teach a cultivator who mastered the Enlightenment Dao Principle, how proficient in enlightenment must he himself be?

Everyone acknowledged this point!

Tuota immediately pressed further, "Could we invite the Seven Stars Dao Sovereign to give a lecture on the Dao?"

Hearing this, Lan Si immediately nodded, "The Seven Stars Patriarch occasionally does hold Dao lectures. In the former sect, he once lectured on the Dao for all disciples. Although he has now joined the Miluo Dao Court, the Patriarch likely won't change this habit."

He paused for a moment and said, "Moreover, if you join the Seven Stars Dao Palace and become the Patriarch's subordinates, you will definitely have opportunities to receive his guidance, and not just once or twice!"

The group of Elders in the Dao Venerable Tower, upon hearing this, did not entertain the idea. They already had fixed factions and it would be difficult to change affiliations.

However, the ordinary disciples eavesdropping on the conversation outside the Dao Venerable Tower began to have active thoughts. Their desire to join the Seven Stars Dao Palace immediately increased by a large margin.

Now, the Seven Stars Dao Palace already had seven Dao Venerables. Within the entire Dao Court, it could be considered one of the top-ranked factions. Joining would definitely not be a loss.

And more importantly, the cultivators belonging to the Seven Stars Dao Palace were still cultivating, and the success rate of breakthroughs still had the potential to increase further.

Tuota continued asking, "Aside from this reason, are there any other reasons?"

"Of course. Second is abundant resources. The Patriarch is extremely generous towards his subordinates, providing resources very liberally. Naturally, breaking through becomes much easier. For example, among the resources we just used for our promotion, the amount given by the Dao Court actually only accounted for one-tenth of our total resources!"

Lan Si added.

At this, everyone showed expressions of envy. This was the generosity of the Seven Stars Dao Sovereign, something they couldn't replicate.

"The Seven Stars Dao Sovereign is truly a great Palace Master!" Tuota couldn't help but say, "Are there any other aspects?"

"Third, the Patriarch possesses a complete set of cultivation secret classics, namely the Seven Stars Treasure Canon. The legacies, secret techniques, Dao arts, etc., within it all point directly to the Dao Principle Origin Essence. Furthermore, the Patriarch has made these texts publicly available within the Dao Palace. If you use contribution points, you should also be able to study them!"

Lan Si mentioned another point.

At this, everyone's eyes lit up. They all had the thought that after this was over, they would go spend contribution points to check out the Scripture Pavilion of the Seven Stars Dao Palace.

"Besides that, our Seven Stars Patriarch possesses a secret technique that can forcibly enhance a cultivator's comprehension within a short period. This is also one of the important reasons why we could break through so quickly!"

Lan Si suddenly spoke up again.

Everyone was stunned, their eyes revealing confusion.

Ji Bai asked curiously, "How much can the enhanced comprehension be increased by? Thirty percent? Fifty percent?"

Tailao also exclaimed in surprise, "I've been stuck at the second order for a long time too. I feel my comprehension is indeed insufficient. If I could enhance my comprehension by even ten percent, I would have hope of breaking through the bottleneck and advancing my realm!"

Hearing this, Lan Si was taken aback, showing a surprised expression, "Thirty percent? Fifty percent? Ten percent?"

"Could it be less than even ten percent?" Tuota said somewhat disappointedly.

Lan Si was torn between laughter and tears, "Such a small increase really underestimates our Patriarch!"

The others immediately became excited.

Someone asked, "Then how much is it?"

Lan Si looked towards Su Li, Su Qian, and the others and asked, "How many times was your increase?"

Su Li said, "Five million times!"

Su Qian said calmly, "I only increased by three million times."

Wuzhong, upon hearing this, smiled, "I only increased by one million times!"

Yin Xing said awkwardly, "My comprehension increased by one hundred million times."

Nangong Xianweng was even more embarrassed, "My comprehension increased by one billion times."

Lan Si coughed, "It's roughly that kind of situation. The worse one's original comprehension is, the more obvious the enhancement. But the minimum increase is one million times. Moreover, after I broke through to Dao Venerable, there was still some residual enhancement effect. In the end, I still maintained a one-thousand-fold increase in comprehension."

Upon hearing this, everyone was completely dumbfounded.

An increase in comprehension of several million times, even hundreds of millions of times? Are you sure you're not joking?

"This is impossible!" someone directly refuted.

Lan Si shrugged, "I have no reason to deceive you!"

Hearing this, everyone gasped in shock. Such a terrifying enhancement was truly suffocating!

"If I could increase my comprehension a thousandfold, becoming an eighth-order Dao Venerable wouldn't even be a problem!" Tuota couldn't help but speak up.

The others also had shining eyes.

"Brother Lan Si, can this secret technique be taught?" Tuota asked, clinging to a one-in-ten-thousand hope.

Lan Si shook his head, "Don't even think about it. This is the Patriarch's unique skill. Even if you wanted to learn it, you couldn't. However, the Patriarch was previously willing to trade usage time for this secret technique. There were even many choices for the multiplier of the enhanced comprehension! These matters are all managed by Song Cai. You can go ask him!"

"Who is Song Cai?" Tuota couldn't help but ask.

"Him? He's also inside breaking through! But I know some of his incarnations are still in the Seven Stars Dao Palace. I'll call him over. You can discuss it with him in detail!" Lan Si said with a laugh.
