Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” Chapter 616: Another Disciple-Grandmaster

A tremor of astonishment coursed through Venerable Yuanhao's being.

He recognized the voice—it belonged to his own teacher, the esteemed Venerable Taihao.

And the source of this voice seemed to originate from the very heavens.

As his gaze turned towards Zhan Tian, he saw Zhan Tian was also looking directly at him.

An immeasurable distance lay between them, yet they locked eyes!

Unbidden tears began to trace silent paths down Venerable Yuanhao's cheeks.

"Teacher, oh Teacher, you have finally revealed yourself!"

Zhan Tian was, in fact, the Taihao Dominator! He was his teacher!

And all this time, he had been relentlessly pursuing his own teacher!

Venerable Yuanhao's heart underwent a profound upheaval.

His prior state of mind, consumed by anxiety and disquiet, shattered and disintegrated, only to be meticulously reconstructed into a new, reinforced consciousness!

"Could it be that Teacher has undergone a complete reconstruction of his cultivation realm? That he willingly submitted to a later-rising Dominator as his own teacher for this very purpose?"

Venerable Yuanhao felt a surge of deep admiration for his Taihao teacher's unwavering ambition. A moment of self-reflection struck him—how profoundly foolish and obstinate he had been!

Was it truly so challenging to acknowledge the power of others?

Hadn't his teacher, a figure he had always perceived as perfect, himself burned his bridges and rebuilt anew as a Chaos Dominator? And to achieve this, he had accepted another as his teacher!

This revelation underscored the immense power of the Seven Stars Dominator, did it not?

So what if he had been struck down by that individual?

An avalanche of thoughts cascaded through his mind, each one settling into place until clarity emerged. The lingering doubts within his heart dissolved, and the path toward becoming a Chaos Dominator lay open and unobstructed!

A look of profound satisfaction graced Zhan Tian's features. With a simple gesture of his hand, an immense quantity of Chaos Jade, numbering in the hundreds of millions, cascaded towards Venerable Yuanhao.

Upon receiving the precious Chaos Jade, Yuanhao offered a respectful bow to Zhan Tian. He then focused his efforts on accelerating the growth of his Little Chaos, propelling it towards the threshold of true Nothingness.

Within the profound state of "Nothingness," Yuanhao achieved his breakthrough. The entire process unfolded with an astonishing smoothness and lack of resistance.

His understanding of the Great Dao had long surpassed the necessary prerequisites; it was merely his willpower, stubbornly anchored in the quasi-Dominator realm, that had impeded his advancement.

Now that the conditions for breakthrough were met, achieving it was a natural and effortless progression!

Yuanhao made his return to the Nine Stars Land, ascending into the heavens amidst a torrent of energy.

An expansive and awe-inspiring aura radiated outwards, permeating the entirety of the heavens and the earth.

Myriad cultivators gazed upwards at the sky in bewildered astonishment, a single thought echoing in their minds: "Is it happening again?"

Su Qian's lips twitched as he observed the newly manifested Yuanhao Dominator. He mused that before his own breakthrough, nobody else ascended, yet now, after his own ascent, they were all emerging one after another, diminishing his own sense of exceptionalism.

Yuanhao turned his gaze towards Zhan Tian, offering another respectful bow.

Then, he projected a mental inquiry: "Teacher, may I make your identity known?"

"It matters little now!" Zhan Tian responded with nonchalance.

Previously, he had maintained anonymity to evade the notice of the Scavengers. However, he now recognized the sheer number of Scavengers, who were already engaged and held back by the Chaos Alliance, rendering further concealment unnecessary. Naturally, he held no inclination to actively reveal himself.

But if Yuanhao wished to speak, he was free to do so.

Yuanhao nodded, indicating his comprehension, and then finally addressed all beings within the Nine Stars Land, his voice ringing out with authority:

"I am the Yuanhao Dominator, a grand-disciple of the illustrious Seven Stars Dominator, and a disciple under the Zhan Tian Dominator. Today, I have attained the Dao and achieved the status of Chaos Dominator. Let all the world rejoice together!"

The declaration from the Yuanhao Dominator instantly reverberated throughout the Nine Stars Land and even across the entirety of the Taihao Chaos.

These pronouncements immediately plunged countless cultivators into a state of utter confusion.

A grand-disciple of the Seven Stars Dominator?

A disciple of the Zhan Tian Dominator?

Since when had the Zhan Tian Dominator accepted the Yuanhao Dominator as his disciple?

Wasn't the Yuanhao Dominator previously a disciple of the Taihao Dominator?

Those with particularly sharp intellects had already grasped the gravity of the situation!

They even began to deduce the truth behind these revelations, each of them left in a state of profound shock.

Su Qian's eyes widened to an almost unbelievable extent. He darted glances between Yuanhao and Zhan Tian, a whirlwind of thoughts swirling in his mind.

Within the hallowed halls of the Seven Stars Dao Court, Gu Qingzhu directed a peculiar gaze towards the heavens: "We have been engaged in conflict with the Taihao Holy Hall for so many years, and now you inform me that your leading figures are all aligned with us? What sort of bizarre predicament is this?"

The members of the Seven Stars Dao Court wore expressions of subtle bewilderment, while the adherents of the Taihao Holy Hall found their minds completely reeling from the shock.

The Holy Temple Elders were left utterly speechless. They thought, 'Hall Master Yuanhao, why did you not mention this sooner! You have caused us so much distress!'

Another cascade of blessings descended upon the heavens and earth, and the cultivators within the Nine Stars Land achieved breakthroughs in their realms one after another!

The most amusing spectacle occurred with cultivators locked in intense life-and-death battles. When Su Qian ascended, they halted their combat. Once the blessings concluded, the pair resumed their fight. Then, Zhan Tian's appearance prompted another pause. Later, they recommenced their clash. On the third occasion, with Venerable Yuanhao's presence, they completely lost their will to fight and simply departed for their homes.

The successive emergence of three Chaos Dominators ignited a fervent wave of cultivation throughout the Taihao Chaos.

And Su Yuan observed all of these unfolding events.

Witnessing that Taihao's disciples had also made advancements, he felt he could no longer permit his other disciples to merely loiter within the Chaos without purpose.

He surveyed Lin Feng, Ye Fan, Xuan Huang, and the others, noting they were not far from breaking through to become Chaos Dominators themselves, merely in need of certain resources. Consequently, Su Yuan dispatched substantial quantities of Chaos Jade to these disciples.

"You indolent ones, hasten your progress and break through to Chaos Dominator!"

Su Yuan's voice resonated within the minds of Lin Feng and his peers.

Lin Feng, at this juncture, was deeply engrossed in refining his personal Chaos Slaughter Great Dao!

By this point, he had already elevated his Chaos Slaughter Great Dao to the twenty-eighth tier, surpassing the twenty-fourth tier that Dominator Yuanhao had previously attained by four tiers!

However, escalating his cultivation further had become exceedingly arduous after reaching this stage. Thus, he made the decisive move to break through to the quasi-Dominator realm, preparing to ascend to the Dominator realm.

He had recently received the blessings from the three Dominators, which propelled his Little Chaos significantly forward. Yet, a discernible gap remained before he could prove his Dao and achieve Dominator status.

But at this precise moment.

Su Yuan's invaluable support arrived.

An immense sum of ten billion Chaos Jade coins materialized from thin air directly before Lin Feng.

Gazing upon this veritable ocean of Chaos Jade, Lin Feng's breathing grew noticeably quicker.

"Thank you for your generous reward, Teacher!"

He swiftly began the process of feeding this Chaos Jade into his Little Chaos, thereby accelerating its evolution. The internal temporal flow rate surged to an astonishing one hundred million times the normal speed. Under his precise and careful management, the Little Chaos underwent rapid advancements through multiple epochs.

In a mere three thousand years according to the outside world's timeline, the entirety of the Little Chaos reached a state of near perfection, proving itself sufficient to endure the trial of Nothingness.

Consequently, Lin Feng, without a moment's hesitation, guided his Little Chaos directly into the Nothingness.

In the subsequent instant, Lin Feng reappeared, his spirit exultant!

He had achieved success in his breakthrough, his aura as a newly formed Chaos Dominator causing the void to tremble.

However, by this time, the three Chaos Dominators who had recently ascended above the Nine Stars Land had already departed.

Lin Feng did not concern himself with this. He materialized at an exceptionally high vantage point above the Nine Stars Land and proclaimed his breakthrough to the entire world!

Thus, all cultivators once again bore witness to the emergence of a Chaos Dominator!

And this was merely the commencement.

Subsequently, Ye Fan, Xuan Huang, Huang Gu, Duan Gu, Wushi, and Voidless, six more Chaos Dominators, emerged in succession, plunging the entire Taihao Chaos into a state of exhilaration.

The Seven Stars Dao Court was thoroughly transformed into a Chaos Holy Land. Countless aspiring geniuses harbored an intense desire to enter and cultivate there, hoping to be accepted as disciples or grand-disciples of the Seven Stars Dominator.
