Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” Chapter 575: One person can lead, a trillion can also lead

"Who was that person just now?" Li Shanchang asked tentatively.
Su Yuan gave a faint smile. "This Chaos belongs to someone; that master owns it. I'm merely a traveler who sneaked inside to hunt for resources and scout talent along the way. I've just brought on board a promising talent called Li Chun, and he's already gone with me!"
Those words made Li Shanchang's heart pound fiercely!
He quickly attempted to reach his ancestor, yet the message dropped without trace, no link possible.
Either this man had blocked the transmission, or the Supreme Palace Master had really taken off.
Su Yuan paused briefly and got Li Chun to leave a recording.
Next, Su Yuan imprinted the recording's contents right into Li Shanchang's mind.
All at once, Li Shanchang gained access to that information.
Li Chun sat cross-legged in serene composure amid a void, declaring unhurriedly, "I have departed. If you are willing, you may follow Lord Kongkong and leave. There may be an opportunity to break through to the Dominator realm in the future."
Looking at this short recording, Li Shanchang's heart quaked once more. He understood it was undoubtedly real. His ancestor had truly departed, without informing him. Though rather irresponsible, it also suggested a promising path lay in leaving this realm.Li Shanchang mulled it over briefly before asking, "Can I take some folks with me on the way out?"
Su Yuan replied coolly, "It doesn't matter to me. Whether many or few, they're all the same."
"Thank you, my lord!" Li Shanchang bowed deeply in respect.
Not long afterward.
Su Yuan stood stunned, his expression locked in shock at the sight unfolding.
He gaped in disbelief at the grinning Li Shanchang, trailed by trillions and trillions of cultivators. He was utterly flabbergasted.
"You call this... bringing *some* people?" Su Yuan questioned, eyes bulging in astonishment.
Li Shanchang replied awkwardly, "I originally planned to grab just a few Elders and top disciples from the Dao Palace. Since I couldn't spell it out, I mentioned a huge chance. Then those Elders and elite disciples started pulling in their kin and buddies. That's when the crowd ballooned. In the end, I lost control over it."
Su Yuan had no words. This amounted to hauling the whole Dao Palace plus countless cultivators from factions all over the Chaos.
So, what excuse had Li Shanchang given?
Upon checking, he found Li Shanchang had claimed the Supreme Palace Master was set to pioneer a fresh Chaos and required cultivators for building it up, promising endless chances and riches...
This excuse... wasn't much of a stretch from the truth.
"Is this okay?" Li Shanchang inquired nervously. "You said the headcount didn't matter!"
Su Yuan sighed helplessly. He exhaled deeply. "Fine, whatever. Prepare yourselves—we're heading out!"
Li Shanchang nodded firmly. "All set!"
Various treasures drew in the vast throng of cultivators, while Li Shanchang positioned himself right in front of Su Yuan.
"Let's move!"
With one thought from Su Yuan, he whisked away Li Shanchang along with the spatial treasures, disappearing in a flash.
He transported the entire group straight to Taihao's old Life-bound Chaos.
Having been stripped bare by the Scavengers, this Chaos held scarcely any inhabitants. The newcomers now filled it perfectly.
Li Shanchang sensed the shift in time and space as he departed his former spot.
Upon arrival, he found himself in an entirely new universe.
His divine sense swept out, encompassing a full Chaos Kingdom's scope.
He beheld a tremendously expansive yet desolate realm. Many worlds teemed with scant life, but brimmed with lavish resources. He spotted countless unoccupied treasure zones scattered through the Chaos.
This was plainly a pristine land of treasures!
Su Yuan declared, "This forms part of my Chaos domains. It remains largely untapped right now. Pick a region to cultivate and build upon."
Li Shanchang's heart raced with excitement, overflowing with joy. "My deepest thanks for this boon, my lord!"
"Mhm. Take these Chaos Jades for your needs too. May they bring you fortune."
Su Yuan handed over a million Chaos Jades to Li Shanchang without fanfare.
Spotting such a heap of Origin Divine Crystals, Li Shanchang brimmed with elation.
These turned out to be Origin Divine Crystals! A whole million tossed his way! Reclaiming what was lost felt amazing.
Tailing Su Yuan promised real prospects!
Li Shanchang rejoiced inside, his hopes for tomorrow soaring higher.
When he glanced up once more, Su Yuan's form had already faded away.
"Has my lord already departed?" Li Shanchang burst out in shock. "Does he really have no tasks for me at all?"
Li Shanchang had anticipated being swamped with duties right after arrival. Yet, unexpectedly, once brought here and handed resources along with territory, Su Yuan simply took off. Was his talent genuinely that highly prized?
"Night and day compared to that fellow!" Memories of the golden-armored youth flooded Li Shanchang's mind. Facing him felt like confronting the Chaos Great Dao in person, with zero chance to fight back. That conviction made him trust Su Yuan's assurances completely.
A sweep of Li Shanchang's hand unleashed hordes of cultivators from spatial treasures. Endless trillions of them materialized once more in the fresh Chaos.
"Elders, disciples, fellow Daoists—this is our new Chaos! Right now, it remains savage and untouched. Claim territories freely, but avoid seizing massive expanses carelessly. Everyone, secure just one spot as your base. Expanding holdings comes later!"
The throng of cultivators started probing this Chaos' state. Discovering its abundant resources and lack of occupants, wild excitement gripped them all.
"Trailing the Palace Master was the smartest move!"
"Haha, check out this enormous Broken Gold vein! The deposits are staggering! We hit the jackpot!"
The trillion-strong cultivators dispersed rapidly, transforming Taihao No. 2 Chaos into a frenzy of motion instantly.
Even more startling, every single one of those trillion cultivators bore spatial treasures. Vast populations of beings endured inside them. Some had transported full worlds along!
Therefore, the real tally of relocated lives dwarfed trillions of trillions, and then some.
Su Yuan barely noticed earlier. Glancing back now... *hiss*... Had they ransacked that entire Chaos clean?
Talk about shameless!
Su Yuan couldn't help feeling a twinge of awkwardness!
"Simply astounding!" Su Yuan marveled with a sigh.
This spiraled far beyond his initial plan. He'd only aimed to whisk away Li Chun and Li Shanchang. Yet now, it had exploded out of control!
Meanwhile, on the flip side.
The golden-armored youth Jin Zhengen shut his eyes, delving into the Chaos Great Dao.
Chaos Jades clutched in his palm drained away steadily, aiding his breakthrough of the impasse.
A spark of understanding lit within him, curving a slight grin across his features.
His eyes snapped open soon after, little time elapsed.
"Excellent stuff. Chaos Jade deserves the hype. Perfect for grasping the Chaos Great Dao."
A quick scan of his Chaos' affairs left him utterly stunned.
Over ninety percent of all Dao Venerable realm and higher cultivators had vanished from the whole Chaos. Eighty percent of Wuji Realm experts were gone too! Myriad lower cultivators had disappeared as well!
