Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” Chapter 587: Their Respective Paths

Zhou Hao was poring over various documents from the Chaos Alliance, repeatedly exclaiming in awe, "Teacher, my eyes have truly been opened. I just broke through to Chaos Dominator, thinking I was about to stand at the pinnacle of cultivation. I never expected that upon breaking through, hundreds of millions of stronger experts would pop up above my head, pressing down on me."

Su Yuan patted his shoulder. "Your luck is indeed quite good. Your path was originally severed; without resources, you couldn't have gone far. But now you've caught up at a good time. Go make a name for yourself at the frontlines. Killing just one opponent of the same realm will allow you to cultivate for a long time."

Zhou Hao smiled bitterly. "Teacher, I just broke through! What am I supposed to fight with?"

"You can join a combat team, start with support work. I've checked, those who achieve Dominator through physical body cultivation are highly sought after," Su Yuan said.

"Teacher, what about you? I'll follow in your footsteps!" Zhou Hao quickly said.

"Me? I'll be staying behind to guard the Chaos!" Su Yuan said indifferently.

"Ah! Teacher, you're so strong..." Zhou Hao hesitated.

Su Yuan spread his hands. "I only broke through a little earlier than you!"

Zhou Hao was speechless, but he felt his master couldn't possibly be that simple!

Su Yuan looked at Zhai Xing and said, "What about you?"

Zhai Xing immediately replied, "I'll stay and guard with the teacher!"

"No, you go with your senior brother," Su Yuan waved his hand. "It's the time for young people to venture out. What are you doing staying behind in the Chaos?"

"Alright," Zhai Xing nodded.

On the other side, Dao Venerable Taixuan was also discussing their future paths with several cultivators.

Dao Venerable Taixuan said, "I will go to the frontlines to fight. Who among you is willing to go together?"

Che Chi Old Man, Wuyazi, the Stone Dominator, the Moon Dominator, and Dominator Jiemeng, all five of them agreed.

Only the transparent Water Virtue Heavenly Lord shook his head, unwilling. He indicated he would stay behind to guard the Chaos.

Dominator Taixuan came to Su Yuan and asked, "Seven Stars, want to come together?"

Su Yuan shook his head. "I'm not skilled in combat. I'll just stay and watch the house in Taihao Chaos."

Upon hearing this, Dominator Taixuan gave Su Yuan a deep look but did not try to persuade him further, turning and leaving.

He did not invite Zhou Hao or Zhai Xing. Two newly broken-through Chaos Dominators were truly unsuitable as their teammates.

Zhou Hao curled his lip. "They look down on the two of us, didn't even ask."

"Enough, when your strength improves, then you can talk big," Su Yuan waved his hand.

Zhou Hao and Zhai Xing both lowered their heads. Their strength indeed placed them at the bottom.

After Dominator Taixuan and the other five made their decision, they all stepped onto the seven-colored Rainbow Bridge and departed first.

Zhou Hao and Zhai Xing also left together.

The Water Virtue Heavenly Lord returned inside the Chaos, directly settling down comfortably at home.

Su Yuan thought for a moment, then sent out a mental pull towards the direction of Heavenly Fate Chaos.

A figure traversed the Nothingness and arrived; it was Li Chun.

Seeing the vast number of Chaos realms, Li Chun was also stunned on the spot, utterly shocked.

Su Yuan gave him a spare Chaos Alliance Token and said, "From now on, you are also a member of the Chaos Alliance."

Seeing the various types of messages within the token, Li Chun finally snapped back to reality and praised, "So that's how it is. Truly miraculous!"

Su Yuan nodded. "Keep an eye on the messages above for me. See if anyone wants to commission a Chaos Dominator Artifact."

Li Chun was shocked. "Could it be, Lord, that you know how to forge Chaos Dominator Artifacts?"

Su Yuan revealed a strange expression. "Naturally, I can!"

He looked inward at his Sea of Consciousness. The [True Name Jade Disc] continuously flowed with radiance upon it.

A Dominator-level entry, [Dominator of Will], was floating upon it!

This entry was extremely good. It had already cultivated Dominator Zhai Xing for him, and it would inevitably cultivate more Chaos Dominators in the future.

But one entry was clearly not enough.

"Generate the Dominator-level entry [Dominator of Artifacts]!"

Su Yuan transmitted his command to the [True Name Jade Disc].

The True Name Jade Disc immediately fed back a piece of information: it required consuming one trillion Chaos Jade to directly generate the Dominator-level entry [Dominator of Artifacts].

"One trillion Chaos Jade?"

Su Yuan raised an eyebrow. This requirement was not low.

Previously, Su Yuan would have found it impossible to gather such a vast amount of Chaos Jade in such a brief period. He had already expended eighteen trillion Chaos Jade to condense his Dominator body. The subsequent Chaos Jade he acquired amounted to just over ten billion.

However, his circumstances had dramatically shifted since his arrival at this Chaos Alliance.

Presenting Li Chun with one billion Chaos Jade, Su Yuan instructed, "Assist me in exchanging these for resources. Use this Chaos Jade to acquire Dao Yan Crystals and treasures suitable for Dao Venerables."

Upon hearing this, Li Chun was utterly bewildered. Wasn't this a case of putting the cart before the horse? Chaos Jade was the currency of Chaos Dominators. Dao Yan Crystals and Dao Venerable treasures offered no discernible value to them, did they?

Despite the turmoil in his mind, he dutifully followed Su Yuan's directive, promptly commencing the acquisition of treasures.

Meanwhile, Su Yuan embarked on the seven-colored Rainbow Bridge, a swift passage between Chaos realms. Before long, he reached a bustling Chaos Dominator city, a clear commercial nexus for the surrounding territories.

A multitude of individuals, each a Chaos Dominator, were observed entering and exiting the city gates.

Su Yuan mingled with the throng, rendering himself entirely unremarkable.

Su Yuan proceeded into the city with a composed demeanor. The streets were flanked by a variety of structures and establishments, eliciting exclamations of wonder from him.

He noted the presence of several unique edifices.

One such example was the Combat Pagoda, a colossal tower housing an illusory combat arena that simulated formidable adversaries. Through this facility, Chaos Dominators could accurately gauge their own combat prowess. Su Yuan found this intriguing but deemed it secondary to his immediate objectives.

Another was the Chaos Stele, a repository of profound insights into various Chaos True Intents, serving as a sanctuary for enlightenment. Su Yuan made inquiries regarding the cost of contemplation.

The price for one year of contemplation was a staggering ten billion Chaos Jade, an astronomical sum.

He also observed the Purple Vein Stone Pillar, a location renowned for strengthening one's will.

Su Yuan meticulously examined each of these offerings.

Furthermore, he noticed establishments within the city dedicated to the forging of Chaos Dominator Artifacts. However, upon consultation, he ascertained that the range of artifacts this particular shop could craft was quite restricted, and their quality was not exceptional. Nevertheless, the shop proprietor maintained an air of detached indifference. Perceiving Su Yuan's lack of immediate purchase intent, the proprietor showed no inclination towards further engagement.

Su Yuan departed from the impressive establishment known as "Green Forest Residence."

With a shake of his head, he made his way to the area designated for shop rentals.

"Esteemed Daoist Seven Stars, are you quite certain about renting this particular shop? Its location is rather secluded. Might I suggest this alternative? The positioning is considerably more advantageous!" a rental manager earnestly proposed.

Su Yuan, however, remained resolute. "This one will suffice."

"Very well. This shop is available for rent on a Kalpa basis. Each Kalpa incurs a fee of one hundred thousand Chaos Jade."

Su Yuan winced inwardly. The rental price was utterly extortionate, bordering on outright robbery.

He couldn't refrain from asking, "If one wished to secure permanent ownership of this establishment, what would be the associated cost?"

"Permanent ownership?"

The manager expressed surprise. "That would not come cheaply. A fixed price of ten billion Chaos Jade!"

"I'll purchase it!" Su Yuan declared decisively.
