Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” Chapter 554: The Masters of Superficial Cooperation

In this instant, every Dominator turned their gaze toward Su Yuan.

Che Chi Old Man, Wuyazi, Stone Dominator, Taixuan Dominator, Jiemeng Dominator, Moon Dominator, and Heavenly Virtue Celestial Venerable all brimmed with curiosity over Su Yuan's breakthrough method.

Yet, Heavenly Virtue Celestial Venerable was the one who ultimately stepped forward to inquire.

Upon hearing the question, Su Yuan swept his eyes across the seven figures.

These seven Dominators seemed quite approachable outwardly, but their concealed thoughts in the depths—who could truly fathom them?

Having all ascended through the Taihao Chaos, the seven were inevitably restricted by it. Observing Su Yuan unbound by such limits, they yearned to uncover his secret.

Su Yuan didn't rush to respond. Instead, he flipped the inquiry back: "I once heard that among the Chaos Dominators, there exists the Heavenly Fate Child, and Taihao Dominator was the first to break through as a Chaos Dominator. Where are they now? Their Chaos doesn't appear to be present either."

Che Chi Old Man chuckled and answered, "I'm unclear on Taihao Dominator's circumstances, but Heavenly Fate Child is familiar to me. That fellow enjoyed incredible fortune. Prior to his breakthrough, he gathered massive quantities of Chaos Jade Marrow. Thus, in attempting to become a Chaos Dominator, he boldly entered the Nothingness and successfully ascended. Taihao Dominator most likely followed the same path."

Su Yuan nodded, grasping the explanation.

Heavenly Virtue Celestial Venerable eyed him closely. "Did Fellow Daoist take a similar route?"

Su Yuan regarded him coolly and replied, "I actually originated from Heavenly Fate Child's Chaos as a cultivator. I inherited his legacy, providing enough Chaos Jade Marrow for my breakthrough to Chaos Dominator. Still, the process consumed ninety-nine percent of the resources."

Heavenly Virtue Celestial Venerable exclaimed in astonishment, "You inherited his legacy?"

At that point, Jiemeng Dominator honed in on a different angle. "You mentioned inheriting his legacy? Does that imply he has fallen?"

Su Yuan shook his head. "I don't know his prior condition. Regardless, I now hold his legacy as inheritor. Though most was depleted, a single treasure remained for me!"

Su Yuan produced the Heavenly Fate Ruler.

The Dominators all glanced over sharply, their faces showing a hint of solemnity.

Su Yuan's revelation hit them like a thunderbolt.

Was Heavenly Fate Child truly suspected of demise? This was monumental. A complete Chaos Dominator wouldn't simply perish on his own—only slaying by a superior force remained possible. What power could eliminate a Chaos Dominator? Perhaps a mightier Chaos Dominator?

Moreover, Su Yuan had unveiled a Chaos Dominator Artifact, flexing his formidable power. None dared belittle this fresh Chaos Dominator.

As the conversation flowed, familiarity grew among them, and Su Yuan smoothly blended into the Dominators' circle.

The Taihao Chaos Dominators welcomed Su Yuan aboard.

Taixuan Dominator declared, "We've set rules among us: no life-or-death fights between allies. Facing outer threats, we unite completely to conquer them together."

Su Yuan nodded in agreement. "I concur fully. The Nothingness may seem empty, yet it could harbor other Chaos Dominators or equivalent perils. Teamwork stands as the smartest path!"

Taixuan Dominator nodded before adding, "Chaos Jade Marrow in the Taihao Chaos is split among our seven, though portions vary. Joining us grants you a share too. But participation in our Dominators' games is required. Strong showings by your forces yield extra Chaos Jade Marrow."

"What kind of games?" Su Yuan inquired, confused.

"You're unaware?" Che Chi Old Man remarked, surprised. "They're the ultimate slaughter arena spawning every Immeasurable Kalpa. Dao Venerable-level cultivators and above enter to temper and slay foes. Winners claim abundant rewards we collectively provide."

Su Yuan's eyes lit up in realization. "Ah, I see! Count me in!"

Taixuan Dominator instructed, "Then bring your Chaos near ours. Positioning it afar prevents mutual vigilance and aid!"

This formed the alliance's core condition and bedrock.

They lingered here inescapably, but Su Yuan's Chaos hid in unknown reaches, demanding proximity.

At these words, Su Yuan directed his awareness to his lifebound Chaos.

The link to the original Seven Stars Chaos snapped, restoring its independence.

A mere thought from Su Yuan summoned the Seven Stars Chaos into view.

"Behold my Chaos. I consent to your alliance!"

Su Yuan offered a faint smile.

The Seven Stars Chaos's arrival eased the seven's tensions.

Su Yuan's alliance commitment benefited all greatly.

Che Chi Old Man scrutinized the Seven Stars Chaos and praised, "Fellow Daoist's Chaos has flourished impressively!"

Spawned from the Chaos Flower, the Seven Stars Chaos remained in early growth, housing a fair number of beings amid countless inner worlds, with life evolving at breakneck speed.

"Pardon my shortcomings. Freshly ascended to Chaos Dominator, much eludes me. I earnestly seek your guidance."

Taixuan Dominator offered, "I'll share our compiled Dao discussion insights for your study."

Su Yuan beamed with delight. "My deepest thanks to you all!"

Taixuan Dominator concentrated his will, forming a globe of radiant light.

The glow solidified into a Dao book titled "Miscellaneous Discussions on the Dao."

Su Yuan examined it closely. Packed with 997 pages, each chronicling a Dao session's essence brimming with profound realizations, it thrilled him immensely.

Such wealth of knowledge overwhelmed. A quick skim pulled Su Yuan in deeply, illuminating the Chaos Dominator cultivation road vividly.

Noting this, Taixuan Dominator smiled. "Now that Fellow Daoist Seven Stars has allied with us, savor the 'Miscellaneous Discussions on the Dao' at leisure upon return!"

"Does Fellow Daoist prefer keeping your Dominator breakthrough secret, or broadcasting it? For the latter, we'll relay it to our factions!"

Su Yuan replied offhandedly, "No need for secrecy—spread it freely. I'll host a grand celebration one Yuan Assembly hence. Please grace it with your presence!"

Che Chi Old Man boomed with laughter. "Hahaha, naturally! This milestone bolsters our alliance and spurs Chaos growth. Your ascent inspires quasi-Dominators, boosting their breakthrough hopes—maybe birthing one or two more!"

Su Yuan responded, "I eagerly await your visits!"

Soon, the seven Dominators withdrew to their respective Chaoses.

Su Yuan entered the Seven Stars Chaos too, dispatching a lone Avatar deep into the Taihao Chaos toward the Seven Stars Dao Court.
