Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” Chapter 614: The Shock of Slaying the Heavens

Su Yuan felt his power, now many times stronger than before, and a thick sense of confidence rose in his heart.

Fortieth Tier, that should already place him among the very top group of powerhouses in Black Flame City, right?

His breakthrough speed was absolutely the fastest among the Dominators!

But then he suddenly thought of Taihao again.

"How on earth did that guy manage to cultivate himself to over the Seventieth Tier?"

Su Yuan was quite curious.

Even with all his consumption, he had only broken through to the Fortieth Tier. That guy had somehow inexplicably reached the Seventieth Tier. If he came to the Chaos Alliance, wouldn't that be something else?

"Speaking of which, hasn't that guy broken through yet?"

While Su Yuan was puzzled, his consciousness descended into the Taihao Chaos.

At this moment, Zhan Tian (Taihao) was still in the midst of cultivation and enlightenment.

Su Yuan materialized out of thin air beside him.

Zhan Tian seemed to sense something and opened his eyes.

"Seven Stars?" Zhan Tian asked, confused.

Su Yuan smiled slightly. "Zhan Tian, I came to see you. Why haven't you broken through to Chaos Dominator yet?"

Zhan Tian sighed. "Just a little short. I'm just a little short of reaching forty-nine Dao Principles. It's so frustrating!"

Su Yuan was shocked. "You've already comprehended 48 Dao Principles?"

Su Yuan immediately focused his perception on Zhan Tian and indeed sensed that the other had already fused forty-eight different Dao Principles. The Dao Principle of Annihilation was the main one, supplemented by other Dao Principles, all combined in a very ingenious way.

This made even Su Yuan gasp in admiration.

"I've been stuck at this step for a very, very long time, but I just can't find the way forward!"

Zhan Tian also sighed. "I no longer want to experience the frustration of being unable to progress any further!"

Hearing this, Su Yuan asked, "What do you mean?"

"Back when I was at the Chaos Dominator realm, after cultivating my comprehension of the Chaos True Intent to seventy-two percent, I was stuck, unable to advance any further. It seemed like there was a barrier ahead, forcibly limiting my progress. That's when I realized my own Dao Principle system was restricting my advancement. Now that I have another chance, of course I want to build the strongest foundation possible!"

Zhan Tian spoke a lot more, revealing his situation to Su Yuan.

Su Yuan couldn't help but ask, "How exactly did you cultivate before to actually reach the Seventy-second Tier?"

Zhan Tian shrugged. "Fishing. Raising fish. If you fish for long enough, you'll always hook something good. I improved my strength through the effects of various treasures. It's just that the last time, I hooked a Scavenger. I was really speechless."

Hearing this, Su Yuan's mouth twitched. So that was the answer.

"How long did you fish for?"

Zhan Tian sighed with emotion. "I don't know. At least Immeasurable Kalpas worth of Immeasurable Kalpas. Nothingness has no concept of time. I was also lonely and isolated for countless years."

Su Yuan sucked in a breath of Chaos energy. Immeasurable Kalpas times Immeasurable Kalpas... 2500 billion billion multiplied by 2500 billion billion.

Su Yuan gave a thumbs-up. "Then you really are something else!"

Zhan Tian said seriously, "I heard that Master, you have already entered the Chaos Alliance. Can you give me some help?"

Su Yuan waved his hand. "Don't call me Master. That was just a temporary measure before, a joke. You and I are peers!"

This was a genuine big shot!

"Haha, since I've publicly declared myself your disciple, from now on, I am your disciple! Master, can you help me take this final step? I've been stuck at this step for too long. I really have no other way!" Zhan Tian looked at Su Yuan eagerly.

For Zhan Tian, titles and formalities were completely unimportant. What mattered was that he could break through this super bottleneck and reach a higher realm.

Hearing this, Su Yuan pondered in his heart. If it were before, Su Yuan would indeed have been wary of Zhan Tian's strength. But now, possessing the fragment of the Nothingness Ark for protection, he didn't need to worry.

Moreover, Zhan Tian would be breaking through within the Nine Stars Land, which was inside the Tear of Eternity. As long as the other party's breakthrough was anchored to the Nine Stars Land, the other's future power would also be added to Su Yuan's own.

In other words, he would always be a bit stronger than Zhan Tian.

Su Yuan offered a slight smile. "That poses no issue whatsoever. The might of annihilation is indeed a prevalent Great Dao within Chaos. However, my fiscal capabilities are somewhat constrained. I can procure for you legacies of a lesser caliber, but exceedingly costly ones are beyond my present means. Complete legacies, endowed with forty-nine Dao Principles, command prices in the tens or even hundreds of millions of Kalpa Units!"

"Kalpa Units?" Zhan Tian echoed, a flicker of surprise crossing his features.

"A solitary Kalpa Unit equates to more than 8 quadrillion Chaos Jades!" Su Yuan stated with casual ease.

A sharp intake of breath escaped Zhan Tian. "That much?"

"I can now furnish you with legacies valued at several Kalpa Units. You may then assimilate their strengths to compensate for your deficiencies and perhaps discover a viable path forward!" Su Yuan elaborated.

Upon hearing this, Zhan Tian was profoundly moved. Several Kalpa Units?

He had never conceived that Su Yuan would be prepared to expend such a fortune. For Zhan Tian, whose worldly experience was limited, this sum represented an astronomical amount of wealth.

Su Yuan proceded to access the Merit Shop, commencing his selection of suitable legacies from its extensive catalogue.

In his search for legacies pertaining to the power of annihilation, he encountered a veritable ocean of legacy texts.

The most advanced among them reached the pinnacle of forty-nine Dao Principles, bearing a price tag of a staggering thirty million Kalpa Units.

Su Yuan opted for the next best available tier, discovering several mid-level legacies possessing thirty-six Dao Principles. Their prices plummeted dramatically, resting at a mere few Kalpa Units, with some even dipping to the tens of trillions of Chaos Jades.

Lacking the specific insight to discern the nuances between these cultivation methodologies, Su Yuan directly presented the introductory details of tens of thousands of purchasable texts before Zhan Tian.

"Peruse these at your leisure. Which ones strike you as potentially suitable?" Su Yuan inquired.

Zhan Tian immediately delved into an examination of these diverse texts.

The sheer variety of legacies available left Zhan Tian in a state of genuine astonishment.

Some legacies incorporated the Dao Principle of Annihilation as a supplementary element, while others utilized it as their primary driving force. The array was so broad it left Zhan Tian's eyes swimming.

After careful consideration of their respective merits and costs, Zhan Tian ultimately selected a total of fifty legacies. Their combined price amounted to a mere 28 Kalpa Units.

Of these, thirty were of the Twenty-fourth Tier, each costing a modest few hundred billion Chaos Jades. Ten belonged to the Thirty-second Tier, priced at a mere few trillion Chaos Jades. The remaining ten, at the Thirty-sixth Tier, were valued in Kalpa Units, ensuring the overall expenditure remained quite reasonable.

Su Yuan found himself short on the necessary Merit Points.

However, during this period, he had successfully fulfilled those four prior orders. Conveniently, he had also utilized the surplus materials to craft an additional ten Chaos Dominator Artifacts, each positioned at the Twenty-ninth Tier.

These surplus Chaos Dominator Artifacts were then promptly listed for sale at a reduced price within the Merit Shop.

The transactions were swiftly concluded. The ten Chaos Dominator Artifacts yielded thirty Kalpa Units in Chaos Jades and an equivalent of thirty Kalpa Units in Merit Points.

Subsequently, he procured the chosen legacies for Zhan Tian.

As Zhan Tian waited with bated breath, a sudden flash of light illuminated the space before him, and fifty immense volumes materialized out of thin air.

Concurrently, a colossal mound of Chaos Jades appeared beside the manifested legacies.

"This constitutes Chaos Jades equivalent to one Kalpa Unit. Should you achieve a breakthrough, you may utilize it. A minor offering, hardly significant," Su Yuan remarked.
