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

Chapter 707: Being Targeted



Chapter 707: Being Targeted



Changsun Jiliang also said, “Master, I just suspected this might happen, so I purposely acted annoyed and angry. That should fool them!”


Changsun Xuzhu’s eyes narrowed, he said in a deep voice, “You can fool them for a while, but not for long. The prison’s teleportation array runs inspections every set time. When that check happens, the state of your cell will definitely be discovered!”


Changsun Jiliang immediately grew anxious, “What should we do? The last inspection was, it seems, eight Yuan Assemblies ago. In two more Yuan Assemblies they’ll inspect again.”


Changsun Xuzhu replied calmly, “There’s enough time. As long as that opportunity isn’t still in incubation, this period is enough for me to retrieve the treasure!”


“Master, please hurry. As long as you can obtain the Supreme Treasure and increase your strength, I will surely make a leap forward inside the Nothingness Prison. From then on I’ll be relying on you!”


Changsun Jiliang said happily.


“Really?”


A voice suddenly sounded from behind him.


Changsun Jiliang froze. His master had appeared behind him without his noticing, before he could react.

A seal was stamped onto him.

His consciousness instantly sank into the deepest unconsciousness.


Changsun Xuzhu raised his hand, and the seal floated in his palm. Changsun Jiliang’s body flowed like water into the seal, vanishing in an instant without a trace.


Changsun Xuzhu’s true body shuddered, then disappeared.


Only an avatar remained in place, continuing to refine the pill in its hands.


On the other side.


Inside the prison.


Someone noticed something odd about Changsun Jiliang. Although Changsun Jiliang had acted very well, a hint of something wrong was detected.


Because Changsun Jiliang had lingered in front of the cell longer than the average time, by one Xi!


If they already knew he couldn’t be captured, why linger an extra Xi?


There must be a reason!


So this person came to observe in front of Changsun Jiliang’s exclusive cell.


“No, this cell is still in operation, that Changsun Jiliang is lying!”


“I see!”


The person quickly understood the reason, his mind immediately buzzing.


He was only a Seventy-sixth-order Nothingness Dominator. Even with this news, he couldn’t hope to obtain any possible opportunity himself. Given that, quietly selling the intelligence to get resources was a good idea.


He hurried away without drawing attention, then secretly posted a paid opportunity message on the Nothingness Prison’s sect platform. The price was set extremely high, and only three copies were sold!


This price attracted a lot of attention.


Daring to list such a high price suggested the opportunity’s authenticity and rarity, so experts chose to buy it.


In no time, the three pieces of intelligence were sold.


A few people quietly came to the cell to investigate. After confirming the accuracy of the information, underground currents immediately surged.


In the blink of an eye.


Su Yuan opened his eyes.


The Power of Fame within him had reached the 79th order!


This breakthrough was utterly exhilarating!


The three thousand lives accumulated across the Second Frontline were simply too many. The fallen Chaos Dominators and Nothingness Dominators among them could all provide him with Power of Fame. With that, raising his realm to break through was easy.


This was only a short-term effect; he would continue to receive a steady flow of Power of Fame afterward.


He didn’t even need to do anything. As those beings grew stronger, his Power of Fame rank would also rise!


While Su Yuan was thinking, an entirely new True Name Star suddenly appeared within him.


This True Name Star was the largest he had ever seen.


If the True Name Star that represented a Seventy-second-order Chaos Dominator was like a sun, then this star’s size was as enormous as a galaxy!


A vast amount of True Name Power poured out, raising the quality of Su Yuan’s Power of Fame by a notch.


Wherever the True Name Star’s light shone, the quality of nearby True Name Power rose under its influence!


Su Yuan sent his mind to probe.


He saw an old man casually strolling through a city.


The elder was familiar — it was the previously seen Ninety-second-order Changsun Xuzhu.


This man seemed to be collecting information, constantly searching for something.


Su Yuan felt somewhat astonished.


“Why did he come?”


Su Yuan wondered, then immediately traced back his thoughts, quickly returning to the conversation between Changsun Xuzhu and Changsun Jiliang.


“Oh, he actually targeted me! He thinks I have a Supreme Treasure on me!”


Su Yuan was surprised. Although he did have a Supreme Treasure, the deduction wasn’t wrong — but it had come fast; efficient indeed.


Changsun Xuzhu had come very quickly. Only one month had passed since he sealed Changsun Jiliang, yet he had crossed endless distances, traversed the pass between the First and Second Frontlines, and arrived at the Second Frontline.


Changsun Xuzhu could sense a faint teleportation force covering him.


He only had ten thousand years to search for treasure. Once the time was up, without a Supreme Treasure to anchor him, he would be teleported away.


Changsun Xuzhu sifted through massive amounts of information and quickly pinpointed candidates likely to break through to the Seventy-second-order — the target was Seven Stars.


After locking onto Seven Stars, he began searching for all kinds of information about Su Yuan and soon discovered how quickly Su Yuan had been breaking through, as though drinking water. The elder even found Lin Feng, Zhou Hao and others, and, unseen, absorbed their memories to confirm Su Yuan’s anomalies.


So his target shifted to seeking out Su Yuan.


But he soon discovered that his divination methods couldn’t deduce Su Yuan’s hidden location.


Changsun Xuzhu appeared out of nowhere inside No. 77 Mansion’s Seven Stars Residence, before Su Lian.


“You are Su Yuan the Seven Stars’ daughter? I wish to pay my respects to Master Seven Stars. This is my greeting gift; please deliver it for me.”


Changsun Xuzhu handed a crystal to Su Lian.


Su Lian instantly looked at the old man guardedly. She couldn’t see how he had appeared out of thin air.


She glanced at the crystal and said, “I don’t know where my father is. I can’t deliver it to him!”


Changsun Xuzhu said calmly, “I came with sincerity. If he refuses to meet me, then you, this residence, this city, even all the lives on this frontline will vanish for him!”


A terrifying pressure burst forth from him for an instant.


Su Lian felt an irresistible, dreadful oppression close off her powers. She felt as ordinary as a mortal, unable to move.


For the first time, fear flooded her heart. This man was overwhelmingly strong!
