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

Chapter 614: The Shock of Slaying the Heavens

Su Yuan felt his power, now many times stronger than before, and a thick sense of confidence rose in his heart.

Fortieth Tier, that should already place him among the very top group of powerhouses in Black Flame City, right?

His breakthrough speed was absolutely the fastest among the Dominators!

But then he suddenly thought of Taihao again.

"How on earth did that guy manage to cultivate himself to over the Seventieth Tier?"

Su Yuan was quite curious.

Even with all his consumption, he had only broken through to the Fortieth Tier. That guy had somehow inexplicably reached the Seventieth Tier. If he came to the Chaos Alliance, wouldn't that be something else?

"Speaking of which, hasn't that guy broken through yet?"

While Su Yuan was puzzled, his consciousness descended into the Taihao Chaos.

At this moment, Zhan Tian (Taihao) was still in the midst of cultivation and enlightenment.

Su Yuan materialized out of thin air beside him.

Zhan Tian seemed to sense something and opened his eyes.

"Seven Stars?" Zhan Tian asked, confused.

Su Yuan smiled slightly. "Zhan Tian, I came to see you. Why haven't you broken through to Chaos Dominator yet?"

Zhan Tian sighed. "Just a little short. I'm just a little short of reaching forty-nine Dao Principles. It's so frustrating!"

Su Yuan was shocked. "You've already comprehended 48 Dao Principles?"

Su Yuan immediately focused his perception on Zhan Tian and indeed sensed that the other had already fused forty-eight different Dao Principles. The Dao Principle of Annihilation was the main one, supplemented by other Dao Principles, all combined in a very ingenious way.

This made even Su Yuan gasp in admiration.

"I've been stuck at this step for a very, very long time, but I just can't find the way forward!"

Zhan Tian also sighed. "I no longer want to experience the frustration of being unable to progress any further!"

Hearing this, Su Yuan asked, "What do you mean?"

"Back when I was at the Chaos Dominator realm, after cultivating my comprehension of the Chaos True Intent to seventy-two percent, I was stuck, unable to advance any further. It seemed like there was a barrier ahead, forcibly limiting my progress. That's when I realized my own Dao Principle system was restricting my advancement. Now that I have another chance, of course I want to build the strongest foundation possible!"

Zhan Tian spoke a lot more, revealing his situation to Su Yuan.

Su Yuan couldn't help but ask, "How exactly did you cultivate before to actually reach the Seventy-second Tier?"

Zhan Tian shrugged. "Fishing. Raising fish. If you fish for long enough, you'll always hook something good. I improved my strength through the effects of various treasures. It's just that the last time, I hooked a Scavenger. I was really speechless."

Hearing this, Su Yuan's mouth twitched. So that was the answer.

"How long did you fish for?"

Zhan Tian sighed with emotion. "I don't know. At least Immeasurable Kalpas worth of Immeasurable Kalpas. Nothingness has no concept of time. I was also lonely and isolated for countless years."

Su Yuan sucked in a breath of Chaos energy. Immeasurable Kalpas times Immeasurable Kalpas... 2500 billion billion multiplied by 2500 billion billion.

Su Yuan gave a thumbs-up. "Then you really are something else!"

Zhan Tian said seriously, "I heard that Master, you have already entered the Chaos Alliance. Can you give me some help?"

Su Yuan waved his hand. "Don't call me Master. That was just a temporary measure before, a joke. You and I are peers!"

This was a genuine big shot!

"Haha, since I've publicly declared myself your disciple, from now on, I am your disciple! Master, can you help me take this final step? I've been stuck at this step for too long. I really have no other way!" Zhan Tian looked at Su Yuan eagerly.

For Zhan Tian, titles and formalities were completely unimportant. What mattered was that he could break through this super bottleneck and reach a higher realm.

Hearing this, Su Yuan pondered in his heart. If it were before, Su Yuan would indeed have been wary of Zhan Tian's strength. But now, possessing the fragment of the Nothingness Ark for protection, he didn't need to worry.

Moreover, Zhan Tian would be breaking through within the Nine Stars Land, which was inside the Tear of Eternity. As long as the other party's breakthrough was anchored to the Nine Stars Land, the other's future power would also be added to Su Yuan's own.

In other words, he would always be a bit stronger than Zhan Tian.

Su Yuan smiled slightly. "That's no problem. The power of annihilation is also a common Chaos Great Dao. However, my financial resources are limited. I can buy you some slightly lower-level legacies, but I can't afford too expensive ones. Complete legacies with forty-nine Dao Principles cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of Kalpa Units!"

"Kalpa Units?" Zhan Tian was stunned.

"One Kalpa Unit is over 8 million billion Chaos Jades!"

Su Yuan said lightly.

Zhan Tian sucked in a cold breath. "That much?"

"I can buy you a few Kalpa Units worth of legacies now. You can learn from their strengths to offset your weaknesses and see if you can find a way forward!" Su Yuan added.

Hearing this, Zhan Tian was shaken. A few Kalpa Units?

He truly hadn't expected Su Yuan to be willing to pay such a price. This number, for Zhan Tian who hadn't seen much of the world, was genuinely a huge sum of money.

Su Yuan opened the Merit Shop and began selecting legacies from within.

Searching for legacies related to the power of annihilation, he indeed saw a vast sea of legacy texts.

The highest-level one was actually at the forty-nine Dao Principle level, and its price was as high as thirty million Kalpa Units.

Su Yuan settled for the next best thing, finding some medium-level legacies with thirty-six Dao Principles. Their prices dropped off a cliff, remaining at only a few Kalpa Units, with some even as low as tens of trillions of Chaos Jades.

Su Yuan didn't understand the differences between these cultivation methods either, so he directly listed the introductions for tens of thousands of texts that could be purchased right in front of Zhan Tian.

"Take a look. Which ones do you think are suitable?" Su Yuan said.

Zhan Tian immediately began examining these texts.

Seeing so many different types of legacies, Zhan Tian was truly amazed.

Some were legacies that used the Dao Principle of Annihilation as a supplementary Dao Principle, others were legacies that fused the Dao Principle of Annihilation as the main force. There was a wide variety, dazzling Zhan Tian's eyes.

After reviewing them and considering the prices, Zhan Tian selected a total of fifty legacies. The total price was only 28 Kalpa Units.

Among them, thirty were only at the Twenty-fourth Tier, each costing only a few hundred billion Chaos Jades. Ten were at the Thirty-second Tier, costing only a few trillion Chaos Jades. The remaining ten at the Thirty-sixth Tier were priced in Kalpa Units, so the total price wasn't that high.

Su Yuan didn't have that many Merit Points.

However, during this period, he had already completed those four orders and, conveniently, used the remaining materials to forge an additional ten Chaos Dominator Artifacts, each at the Twenty-ninth Tier level.

He directly listed the extra Chaos Dominator Artifacts he had forged for sale at a low price in the Merit Shop.

Soon, the transactions were completed. The ten Chaos Dominator Artifacts recovered thirty Kalpa Units worth of Chaos Jades and thirty Kalpa Units worth of Merit Points.

Then he bought these legacies for Zhan Tian.

Just as Zhan Tian was waiting anxiously, he saw a flash of light, and fifty massive books materialized out of thin air in front of him.

At the same time, a mountain-like pile of Chaos Jades appeared beside them.

"This is one Kalpa Unit's worth of Chaos Jades. If you can break through, you can use it. Small change, not a big deal."
