Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” Chapter 518: Disciple Breakthrough

Zhou Hao achieved a triumphant breakthrough into the Dao Venerable Realm, instantly grasping six Dao Principles during the process! What's more, these Dao Principles all merged seamlessly into a single entity, elevating him to the status of a Six-Order Fused Dao Venerable!

Lin Feng completed his breakthrough, comprehending five Dao Principles and thereby ascending to the rank of a Five-Order Fused Dao powerhouse.

Xuan Huang managed to condense four Dao Principles, thereby attaining the level of a Four-Order Fused Dao Venerable.

Ye Fan comprehended six Dao Principles as well, yet he only reached the Four-Order fusion realm. Nevertheless, his prowess remained formidable.

Huang Gu grasped four Dao Principles, though he hadn't yet finished fusing them, which was still remarkably impressive.

Duan Gu proved even more extraordinary, directly comprehending nine Dao Principles. Though unfused, his power still rivaled that of a Four or Five-Order Fused Dao expert.

This surge in power among the six individuals hit like a colossal shockwave, leaving every elder in the Miluo Dao Court utterly dumbfounded.

The Miluo Dao Lord gazed at Su Yuan in utter astonishment, exclaiming, "Your guidance skills far surpass what I imagined! Each of your disciples outshines the previous one in brilliance!"

"Just luck!"

In truth, the Taihao Chaos harbored such prodigies too. However, they either met untimely ends or had long since advanced. It was uncommon for a genius to linger at the Dao Venerable Realm without progressing.

This circumstance amplified the dramatic spectacle of his disciples' breakthroughs to an extraordinary degree.

Shortly after their advancements, Su Yuan effortlessly absorbed mastery of all these individuals' Dao Principles.

Be it Zhou Hao's Divine Beast Dao Principles or Lin Feng's Slaughter Dao Principles, the feedback mechanism converted them into profound insights for Su Yuan, enabling him to readily comprehend these Dao Principles himself.

"Everyone has completed their breakthroughs. Time to depart!" the Miluo Dao Lord declared.

Su Yuan responded nonchalantly, "Alright!"

The Miluo Dao Lord turned her gaze to the group and stated, "Have them join us at the Nine Extreme Treasure Star too. I sense that their presence will boost our chances of uncovering a valuable opportunity even further!"

Su Yuan agreed with a nod, "No problem!"

As a result, soon after Zhou Hao and his companions stabilized their new realms, Su Yuan gathered them and transported everyone to the Nine Extreme Treasure Star domain.

Su Yuan and the Miluo Dao Lord entered the Nine Extreme Treasure Star alongside them.

Sixth layer of the Nine Extreme Treasure Star.

Zhou Hao and the other five touched down.

They scanned their surroundings with bewilderment, then individually attuned themselves to the shifts from their recent breakthroughs.

Zhou Hao burst into booming laughter, "I truly managed to fuse six Dao Principles! Now, I'm set to rocket straight to the pinnacle!"

Zhou Hao swung his hand in a casual chop, aiming to slice a star right out of the sky. Shattering a star barehanded—that was the extent of his bold assurance.

Yet, as Zhou Hao's chop tore through the void, the anticipated cataclysmic force failed to manifest. Only a dark streak flickered across the landscape, tearing a minor gash in space that swallowed the savage energy of his strike into the void crack.

And nothing more happened after that.

Not only did the overhead stars remain intact, but even the far-off mountain ranges stood utterly unscathed.

"What in the world?" Zhou Hao's eyes bulged in disbelief.

"You weren't exaggerating, right?" Lin Feng eyed Zhou Hao with astonishment.

"Exaggerate my foot! This location is abnormal!" Zhou Hao retorted seriously.

Lin Feng decided to test his own abilities next. Having fused five Dao Principles into his Slaughter Dao Principle, every action he took brimmed with world-shattering might.

Lin Feng unleashed a simple sword strike, targeting a remote mountain peak.

The blade's glow covered some ground before its momentum swiftly faded. Ultimately, upon striking the peak thousands of light-years distant, it merely felled a handful of trees.

This feeble result left Lin Feng completely shocked.

"This area is truly odd."

Lin Feng murmured in resignation.

"What resilient world essence? I can't even unleash my full true form here!" Xuan Huang marveled in awe.

"Teacher, what's the reason for bringing us to this place?" Huang Gu asked, puzzled. "We've only just advanced. No need to dive into training expeditions so soon!"

As the six grappled with their confusion, they spotted a distant squad charging forward while skimming low through the air.

The six promptly employed their techniques to hide their presence.

Then they trailed behind.

The squad ahead remained oblivious to Zhou Hao and his group.

Although Zhou Hao and the others had experimented with their powers, they kept their techniques tightly controlled. Combined with the oppressive forces of the Nine Extreme Treasure Star, the ripples from their efforts were reduced to near nothingness.

Tailing the group in front, they quickly reached a vast plain.

At the plain's heart, a stone stele was gradually ascending. Numerous cultivators encircled it, staring intently with greedy anticipation, poised to seize it the instant it fully appeared.

"Looks like this is a prime spot for hunting treasures!" Zhou Hao's gaze sparkled as he swiftly discerned the significance of the unfolding events.

Lin Feng assessed, "In this bunch, the mightiest is merely a Third-Order Dao Venerable. Just five at the Dao Venerable tier overall. We could overpower them without breaking a sweat!"

The team drew closer, evaluating the strengths of those gathered. These folks' capabilities were middling at best, and everyone concurred with Lin Feng's assessment.

The six stayed hidden, biding their time until the treasure fully surfaced.

Suddenly, one of the Dao Venerable cultivators soared upward and proclaimed to the assembly, "This contest is reserved for Dao Venerable powerhouses. Anyone below that level, depart now!"

His words barely finished.

The assembled cultivators wore looks of disappointment.

"Another Dao Venerable meddling here. No chance for us!"

"If we'd only poured in resources to summon it sooner, before these Dao Venerables showed up—alas!"

"So close, yet missed!"

Hundreds of cultivators scattered from the site, dispersing to hunt for treasures elsewhere.

Just the five Dao Venerable cultivators lingered in place.

Each claimed a strategic spot, eyeing the others warily while keeping watch on the stele's rise.

At a pivotal instant, the stone stele burst forth with the essence of a Fused Dao Treasure. The presence of a Five-Order fused treasure revealed itself plainly to everyone!

The moment the stele appeared, it instantly tried to bolt away in a specific direction!

This represented the treasure's innate awareness attempting to flee the vicinity.

The five Dao Venerable experts were all taken aback. Such an occurrence was unprecedented for them. Typically, treasures didn't exhibit this urge to escape independently.

As they prepared to block the treasure's path, they realized it had halted, floating still in one location.

Lin Feng extended his hand, drawing the stele directly into his grasp.

Once the enormous stele settled in his palm, it began shrinking spontaneously, dwindling in size progressively until it morphed into a plain, undecorated stone broadsword!

Lin Feng seized the sword's handle. His five fused Dao Principles flowed into the blade, refining it with natural ease. The refinement unfolded without any effort.

He was amazed to find that this broadsword harmonized perfectly with him. The Dao Principles embedded within matched exactly the five he commanded. This was his personalized Dao Soldier!

Zhou Hao's eyes nearly popped out, "The treasure selects its owner! Your fortune is simply unbelievable!"

Lin Feng chuckled loudly, "Looks like my luck is holding strong!"

"Drop that stone sword you're holding!"

A furious roar from afar cut into their exchange.

Lin Feng glanced up. A Third-Order Dao Venerable was hurtling toward them at breakneck speed, his face twisted in rage.
