Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” Chapter 559: A Significant Gain

Su Yuan reverted back to the standard flow of time and space.

From afar, he spotted Venerable Yuanhao still rummaging through the ruins for hidden treasures. The man had already snatched up various broken artifacts and even a flawless quasi-Dominator treasure, his features showing both thrill and caution.

At this sight, Su Yuan shook his head. "This guy, I'd better send him back first!"

A casual wave from his hand unleashed a power that locked Venerable Yuanhao in place.

Yuanhao stiffened instantly, his flesh, spirit, and very mind turning immobile and frozen.

With just a mental command, Su Yuan triggered [World Traveler], whisking Venerable Yuanhao out of the Chaos and hurling him into the Taihao Chaos.

Next, Su Yuan pulled out the mirror he'd seized from the Taihao Dominator, channeling the Chaos True Name's power into it.

The mirror sprang to life at once, shooting out a dazzling light ray that summoned the gateway to the Chaos's Origin Space.

Stepping ahead, Su Yuan soared straight through it.

Su Yuan felt a bit taken aback. Even after losing the Taihao Chaos's Will dominance, this Chaos had spawned its own new Chaos Will.

"Not bad. In that case, you will manage this Chaos for me from now on!"

Su Yuan's willpower surged out in an instant, enveloping the whole Origin Space with its overwhelming might, effortlessly crushing the Chaos Will.

Lacking any rival of equal stature to meddle, he seized total command of this Chaos's Origin realm in short order, stamping his brand onto it!

The Chaos Will's antagonism flipped right away to affinity, laying bare every secret it held to Su Yuan.

A torrent of data flooded into Su Yuan's mind at once, encompassing this Chaos's full history of spacetime records from inception till now, plus the vast array of scriptures and inheritances the Taihao Dominator had stashed away inside.

Su Yuan devoured it all instantly, holding off on sorting through it yet.

His massive palm extended, pulling endless treasures from the ruins one after another into his grasp.

A miniature world formed in his palm, swiftly packed with heaps of treasures. Every item abandoned by the Taihao Dominator and his cultivators now belonged to Su Yuan.

Three Chaos Dominator Artifacts among them especially drew Su Yuan's eye.

First came the Heaven-Shrouding Cloak, capable of masking auras and altering the look of beings.

This gave Su Yuan pause.

Chaos Dominators being so rare, impersonating any of them proves pointless; a quick probe reveals the fake. This item was utterly pointless.

Little wonder it sat forgotten in the Origin Space.

Second was an enigmatic fishing rod. A quick refining revealed its secrets: it allowed angling across the myriad heavens, pulling in even items from foreign Chaos worlds!

Evidently, this was a unique tool that pierced through "Nothingness".

Yet, per the Chaos Will's intel, the Taihao Dominator mostly reeled in junk. He'd nabbed just one Dao Venerable-grade treasure ever, its lame payoff leaving him doubting his existence.

Even so, as a battle-oriented tool for boosting fights, the rod held some value.

Third was the Myriad Transformation Fish Pond. Drop anything inside, and it morphed into fish. It paired ideally with the Myriad Heavens Fishing Rod.

The Myriad Transformation Fish Pond looked plain, but its powers impressed. Fish inside could consume one another to evolve, gaining strength from each meal. When hooked out, they turned back to matter, upgraded in rank depending on devoured fish's amount and caliber.

Su Yuan felt intrigued. These three artifacts clearly made a combo set. Cloak on for stealthy fishing across myriad heavens, snagging rival Chaos Dominators' loot without exposure.

Treasures they were, yet pretty underwhelming.

"What if I combine them with another Chaos Dominator Artifact, the [Heavenly Fate Ruler]?"

The [Heavenly Fate Ruler] from Heavenly Fate Child popped into Su Yuan's mind. That supreme treasure boosted fortune!

It might elevate the haul to rarer prizes!

Su Yuan gathered all these spoils neatly.

His gaze swept over the Chaos, and with a mere thought, he wiped clean every trace of the Taihao Dominator and his crew. All became history.

The Chaos's outer form, marred by prior "bites", got smoothed by Su Yuan into a perfect orb. Outsiders could no longer spot its past sufferings.

"The fourth Chaos!"

Su Yuan whispered to himself.

This marked his fourth conquered Chaos, and Taihao No. 2 Chaos boasted a foundation of immense depth. Su Yuan's Chaos Origin ballooned vastly in solidity, his battle prowess soaring accordingly.

After assimilating those Chaos True Intent insights, he felt confident his power now eclipsed Che Chi Old Man and his allies combined!

Meanwhile.

Venerable Yuanhao materialized inside the Taihao Holy Hall.

Snapping free from time-space lockdown, the thrill and caution on his face morphed into total confusion.

Staring at the known environment, he stood dumbfounded.

"Little Hao?"

The Guardian Spirit materialized from nowhere and said, "Hall Master, what are your orders?"

"How did I just appear?" Venerable Yuanhao demanded right away.

Though baffled, the Guardian Spirit answered, "You popped up from nothing moments ago. Yet three Xi earlier, you were still buried deep in the Holy Hall."

Venerable Yuanhao's brows furrowed tight as he gazed skyward.

Deep thought gripped him. Instant teleportation back screamed deliberate ejection. Three scenarios crossed his mind.

First, the Taihao Dominator hadn't vanished—he'd spotted him but shunned a meeting, shipping him away.

Second, he'd crossed the Taixuan Dominator. That Chaos was likely claimed by Taixuan already, who barred further probing.

Third, the Seven Stars Dominator! That fiend could've tagged him somehow, trailed across Chaos, monopolized it, and booted him out.

For the first, no complaints. Second meant no alert to Taixuan needed. Third could yield Taixuan some gains if reported, but...

His memories stayed whole! Events crystal clear!

Why skip memory wipe by Seven Stars? Keeping them hinted at some plot.

Unable to let go, Venerable Yuanhao promptly reached out to the Taixuan Dominator.

Shortly, a willpower dropped into the Taihao Holy Hall from thin air. Taixuan Dominator's will locked onto Venerable Yuanhao.

"What is it now?"

Venerable Yuanhao drew a heavy breath, forwarding his memory clip from altar entry to the Taixuan Dominator.

Absorbing Yuanhao's memory segment, the Taixuan Dominator reeled in shock!
