Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” Chapter 517: Miro’s Invitation
Previously on Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard”...
The small chaos adhered to the outermost fringe of the Taihao Chaos, touching merely a minuscule portion of "Nothingness," yet this proved ample for the small chaos to expand.
The twelve Dao Principles inside the small chaos collaborated seamlessly, converting that tiny fragment of "Nothingness" into "Existence," thereby finishing its initial primordial inhalation.
Immense quantities of Chaotic Energy suddenly appeared from nowhere inside the small chaos, saturating every part of its space and establishing a true miniature Chaotic Space-Time.
Currently, the small chaos held solely twelve Dao Principles within, and its capacity to break down and absorb Chaotic Energy remained profoundly feeble.
The Chaotic Energy proved fiercely turbulent, surging and boiling furiously inside the small chaos, repeatedly battering the chaos barrier.
To undertake its second breath, the small chaos required fully transforming all the internal Chaotic Energy at minimum once.
Su Yuan had previously observed the opening moments of the Seven Stars Chaos.
He grasped fully that the optimal way to assimilate it involved forming worlds and generating life!
Through his personal intent, Su Yuan activated the twelve rules in the small chaos, directing them to start building a world.
However, he soon realized the primal Chaotic Energy was far too ferocious. Newly formed worlds got obliterated immediately by the primal raging Chaotic Energy, failing to form properly at all."My small chaos can't accept outside elements, since that might pollute it with foreign karma. Nor can I introduce additional Dao Principles, as it would disturb the flawless integration of the chaos's inherent Dao Principles. Therefore, I'll produce Great Dao Life Forms straightaway and let them battle and slay one another to diminish the Chaotic Energy's destructive force!"
Su Yuan tried employing the Dao Principles to breed life.
The twelve Dao Principles intertwined, creating an eggshell that proceeded to foster life.
The eggshell's protective strength sufficed to endure the Chaotic Energy's corrosion. Indeed, it managed to transform a bit of the Chaotic Energy to offset the energy used in the breeding process!
The effort worked.
Su Yuan comprehended. Forming a world too soon resulted in its vast scale, exposing it to excessive simultaneous assault from Chaotic Energy.
Breeding life, on the other hand, with equivalent protection, merely safeguarded a space as small as an egg. Obviously, it could withstand easily, even seizing the chance to assimilate Chaotic Energy.
This explained why Chaotic Gods and Demons emerged initially in chaos, with worlds appearing only afterward.
The cause of the later destruction of Chaotic Gods and Demons also became clear: to pave the way for worlds' emergence. Should the Chaotic Gods and Demons persist and shatter the worlds, would not all be lost?
Chaos Demon Gods converted energy at a pace much slower than worlds achieved.
Thus, Chaos Demon Gods served basically as instruments.
The logic stayed straightforward and plain.
Su Yuan generated the other eleven Chaotic Gods and Demons.
Then he set them aside for now. Once they matured and appeared, he planned to have them clash to lessen the Chaotic Energy's harm. Following that, he would employ their remains as the base for forming a world.
The plan stood scripted. The budding Great Dao's Will would quietly carry out Su Yuan's scheme.
Meanwhile,
The conflict surrounding the Nine Extreme Treasure Star had ballooned into a massive confrontation drawing in every faction throughout the whole chaos.
Every faction, whether eager or reluctant, became entangled.
The Miluo Dao Court proved no outlier.
Before Su Yuan's dwelling, an elegant silhouette appeared abruptly.
Detecting the known presence, Su Yuan promptly unlocked the entrance and stepped out to welcome her himself.
The Miluo Dao Lord, regal and distant like a sovereign, stood directly in front of him.
"Dao Lord, you've come out of retreat?"
Su Yuan remarked in astonishment.
The Miluo Dao Lord shook her head before nodding. "I've only mastered the Other Shore Dao Principle, though I haven't integrated it with my prior Dao Principles yet. Still, news of the Nine Extreme Treasure Star's appearance reached me, and I glimpsed a sign of fortune, so I chose to end my seclusion ahead of schedule."
She scanned Su Yuan thoroughly and smiled. "I've heard you've attained the Twelfth-order Fused Dao Venerable realm? And seized a share of Chaos Dao Principles?"
Su Yuan shook his head. "How could I presume to have seized a share of Chaos Dao Principles? I've merely brushed against a faint trace of their essence. Chaos Dominators are those who truly perceive Chaos Dao Principles. I haven't advanced to wielding them!"
Rumors held that the Chaos Dominator stage involved cultivating Chaos Dao Intent, known also as Chaos Dao Principles or Chaos Great Dao, among other terms.
The more potent the Fused Dao Principles employed to ascend to Chaos Dominator, the mightier the starting Chaos Dao Intent became. Moreover, reports claimed that advancing and refining Chaos Dao Intent as a Chaos Dominator was exceedingly challenging, yielding far less progress than at the Dao Venerable stage. Hence, numerous cultivators aimed far ahead and avoided haste in reaching Chaos Dominator.
"You've outpaced me still. I remain distant from merging the eighteenth Dao Principle!" the Miluo Dao Lord sighed.
Her manner flowed more relaxed than formerly, as though she now viewed Su Yuan as a peer in cultivation.
Perceiving this slight shift, Su Yuan replied steadily, "I'm certain with the Dao Lord's insight, merging the eighteenth Dao Principle will pose no challenge for you!"
The Miluo Dao Lord dismissed it with a wave. "Henceforth, simply call me by my Dao title directly!"
She hesitated briefly and continued, "The purpose of my visit this time is to ask you to join me in heading to the Nine Extreme Treasure Star to pursue that fortune. My foresight showed a chance, yet the vision suggested I'd require a partner's aid to seize it. Upon reflection, that partner ought to be you!"
"Me?" Su Yuan arched a brow. Did this individual's foresight prove so potent?
"Indeed. You've already discerned a hint of Chaos Dao Intent. Your power matches mine. Surely, you qualify as my partner!" the Miluo Dao Lord affirmed confidently.
"Then, when shall we set off?" Su Yuan inquired.
"Of course, as soon as possible!" the Miluo Dao Lord responded.
"Very well! We'll leave immediately!" Su Yuan agreed with a nod.
"Hold on. Let your disciples complete their advancements first," the Miluo Dao Lord interjected suddenly.
"My disciples?"
Su Yuan's eyes shifted toward the Heavenly Dao Platform's position.
By now, only a handful of disciples within the Heavenly Dao Platform continued their breakthroughs.
Feeling the presences of a few, Su Yuan transmitted a thought. "Fine, if you can advance, do so. Why linger inside?"
His words resounded in the minds of Zhou Hao, Lin Feng, Ye Fan, Xuan Huang, Duan Gu, and Huang Gu.
Their souls quivered. Hearing Su Yuan's prompt, they initiated their advancements sequentially.
In the Miluo Dao Court, Dao Principles emerged successively, quaking the skies and lands across the entire court.
Innumerable disciples gazed skyward in shock. They marveled to find over thirty Dao Principles vibrating simultaneously, a sight that left all dumbfounded.
"What's happening?"
"How come so many Dao Principles are manipulated together? Have more than thirty Dao Venerable Elders just succeeded in advancing?"
"This is utterly mad! Completely mad!"
At that instant, even the Miluo Dao Lord showed evident astonishment.
She peered into the Heavenly Dao Platform, beholding a scene of pure wonder.
