Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” Chapter 564: Taihao’s New Identity

His gut feeling was precisely that.

A Chaos Dominator's intuition seldom goes astray, thus making him the actual perpetrator?

Through the wheel of cause and effect, he ended up reviving the Taihao Dominator. Indeed, the enigmas of cause and effect along with destiny ran deep.

"Where are those fellows located now?" Su Yuan couldn't resist inquiring.

"I have no idea!" The Taihao Dominator shook his head. "They showed up out of nowhere. Once they wiped out their marks, they vanished one after another. Regarding that mightiest Scavenger who slew me, I'm equally concerned about his chase."

Su Yuan remarked, "Won't they come hunting your Life-bound Chaos?"

The Taihao Dominator paused in surprise, then hesitated as he replied, "It's highly probable they'll come raiding. My Chaos Origin has already hit a level that draws the Scavengers. Even though it switched hands, its core remains unchanged!"

"Understood. What's your next move?" Su Yuan probed further.

"I aim to ascend to Chaos Dominator once more, yet under a fresh identity, with a new Dao Principle selected." The Taihao Dominator let out a sigh.

Hearing this, Su Yuan's gaze flickered, and he proposed, "Then why not adopt the role of my disciple for your public face temporarily? Since I emerged suddenly myself, adding another sudden, incredibly powerful disciple wouldn't seem over the top."

"Your disciple?" The Taihao Dominator's face took on a strange look.

"Precisely. Do you, fellow Daoist, mind such titles?" Su Yuan shook his head. "I'm just aiding you thanks to the advantages you offered!"

Taihao mulled it over briefly, then responded, "That's a solid plan. Breaking through to Chaos Dominator with a new identity would surely draw probes and questions from fellow Chaos Dominators, risking my real identity's reveal. Yet hiding in your wing can dodge those issues!"

Su Yuan nodded. "Spot on. The Killing Battlefield opens soon. Forces from the eight Dominator clans and every other power across the Chaos will send folks in for tempering. I've dumped plenty of Chaos Jade Marrow there too. You can head in to explore and gather breakthrough resources. Plus, Chaos Dominators can't interfere inside, aiding your disguise. Thoughts?"

"Oh? Killing Battlefield? What's that?" The Taihao Dominator inquired, baffled.

Su Yuan lightly shot out a ray of knowledge light, imparting the Killing Battlefield's info to the Taihao Dominator.

The Taihao Dominator's eyes bulged. "You straight-up flung in one hundred million Chaos Jade Marrows? Such extravagance!"

He acclaimed, "This spot fits me perfectly!"

He halted, then bowed deeply to Su Yuan. "Disciple Zhan Tian, greets Master!"

Su Yuan gave a faint smile and flicked his hand, hurling several treasures to the Taihao Dominator. They were mere Dao Venerable-grade items, not overly valuable.

The Taihao Dominator swiftly refined those treasures. His strength surged dramatically, and his cultivation recovered to Dao Venerable realm. Moreover, he picked the Dao Principle of Annihilation as his path for the upcoming breakthrough!

The Taihao Dominator's presence sharpened like a razor edge, fiercely piercing.

From this fresh start, the Taihao Dominator resolved to wield his sword against every barrier in existence. Down the line, vengeance against those Scavengers burned in his heart!

Su Yuan smiled faintly and gestured with his hand.

Eight cultivators materialized instantly before Su Yuan.

Lin Feng, Ye Fan, and the rest, upon spotting Su Yuan, bowed at once. "Disciples greet Master!"

Su Yuan nodded and announced, "Allow introductions. This is your junior brother, Zhan Tian. He'll rank as your ninth junior brother. His power is solid, though he just hit Dao Venerable. Guide him properly!"

Lin Feng eyed the Taihao Dominator. The aura felt utterly alien. This sudden arrival had become the Master's disciple outright. His aptitude had to be extraordinary.

At the same time, having forged his Dao via endless kills, he detected Zhan Tian's Dao Principle of Annihilation. A strong resonance linked their paths. Interest sparked in him toward the Dao Principle of Annihilation.

"Junior brother Zhan Tian greets all senior brothers!"

The Taihao Dominator bowed without hesitation.

"Junior brother, no need to stand on ceremony!" Zhou Hao spoke first. "I'm your eldest senior brother, Zhou Hao. Welcome aboard. Here's a battle blade I luckily got before. It ought to match you. Take it as my welcome gift!"

Zhou Hao turned his palm, revealing a prized blade. Hidden within its core lurked annihilation power, waiting to unleash. It perfectly complemented the Taihao Dominator.

Taihao felt astonished by Zhou Hao's openhandedness. He never imagined Su Yuan's disciples would bond so seamlessly!

Ye Fan followed up, "I'm second senior brother, Ye Fan. These long boots offer supreme speed boosts. They should work well for you!"

Ye Fan offered his welcome gift too.

The Taihao Dominator thanked him profusely. The boots ranked high, no less than Nine-Fusion Dao Treasure. These senior brothers spared no effort!

Then, the remaining senior brothers each handed over a welcome gift to the Taihao Dominator.

The bond among senior and junior brothers flowed with perfect harmony.

Witnessing this, Su Yuan stated evenly, "The Killing Battlefield opens shortly. As my disciples, you'll all dive in to clash. I expect each to snag at least one hundred purple tokens. Hit that, and rewards await from me. Every extra hundred purple tokens earns another reward!"

Zhou Hao gasped, "Master, purple tokens pair with Dao Venerables, right? You want each of us to slay a hundred Dao Venerables!"

"Pressure mounting?" Su Yuan questioned.

"Not at all!" Zhou Hao shot back instantly. "Master, don't worry. I'll bring you one hundred purple tokens pronto!"

The other disciples voiced their vows in turn.

Su Yuan grinned. "The first among you to fulfill it gets an extra prize from me."

These words ignited glances among the disciples, their battle intent blazing skyward.

Though senior and junior brothers cherished one another deeply, they still vied to shine. A mere casual gift from the Master could enrich them beyond measure.

Hadn't they witnessed the Master fling one hundred million Chaos Jade Marrows into the battlefield casually? He surely held even vaster reserves.

Zhan Tian observed quietly, inwardly chuckling. Though he scorned this petty contest, first place would inevitably be his, absent surprises.

He'd advance at a terrifying pace, ultimately brushing the Chaos Dominator threshold.

Moments flew by—one Yuan Assembly passed in a flash.

Killing Battlefield preparations finished. At countless portals dotting the vast Chaos, cultivators lined up eagerly, ready to plunge in for trials.
