Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” Chapter 744: Cooperation?

Wu Tianxiang cleared his throat and moved to a position slightly behind Zang Tianguan.

Zang Tianguan pulled the corner of his mouth and tilted his head toward Su Yuan, “Congratulations, Seven Stars Alliance Leader, you broke through again!”

Su Yuan smiled faintly. “Congratulations to you as well, for gaining a hundred-rank combat strength!”

Zang Tianguan nodded and said, “Why wait for an auspicious day? Let’s just discuss how to divide that opportunity today.”

Su Yuan asked calmly, “What do you have in mind?”

“That opportunity site should be occupied jointly by both sides, each taking fifty percent!” Zang Tianguan paused, then continued, “As for internal distribution, discuss it among yourselves.”

Su Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. “No need to discuss it among yourselves. How about this: you and I each take thirty percent, and the other two take twenty percent each?”

Wu Tianxiang and Qixin’s expressions shifted subtly, but neither spoke further.

The two of them exchanged a furtive glance, as if they had reached an agreement in an instant.

Somehow, the two original factions were now beginning to trend toward becoming three factions.

Zang Tianguan nodded. “That’s a fine suggestion. What do you think?”

He looked to Wu Tianxiang.

Wu Tianxiang nodded in silence.

Qixin smiled softly as well. “That distribution is acceptable. Let strength decide everything.”

“So, everyone is ready to start re-excavating the treasure?” Zang Tianguan smiled; he could hardly wait to find out what the real treasure was.

Inside the sealed space.

Su Yuan projected the outside scene before Bai Dicang’s consciousness.

“Look, this is what’s happening out there — everything is about interests. I’ll be blunt with you: I also have principles. Make a fair trade and you’ll gain a lot. If you disagree, just forget I said anything.” Su Yuan said calmly.

Bai Dicang watched the reactions of the outside powerhouses in the projection and fell into deep thought.

He had been reviewing the Seven Stars Dominator’s primal attributes, and the trait that could seize another’s primal source left a deep impression on him.

If Su Yuan truly was the Seven Stars Alliance Leader and a Seven Stars Dominator, he might actually be able to take a realm.

Now that Bai Dicang had been refined into a heavenly corpse, whether his will submitted or not did not affect Zang Tianguan’s use of him. If that was the case, why would Zang Tianguan bother to deceive him?

Zang Tianguan did not possess the ability to seize realms; there was no need for such a ruse.

Bai Dicang drew a deep breath, fixed his gaze on Su Yuan, and said in a low voice, “All right, I agree. I will lend you the hundred-rank realm. In return, you will help me regain my freedom and my realm later!”

“Agreed!”

Su Yuan felt his heart skip a beat.

“Then I won’t be polite!”

Su Yuan activated the highest permission of the Seven Stars Dominator trait and directly seized Bai Dicang’s hundred-rank realm!

This move bordered on defying heaven and earth!

A vague radiance representing the hundred-rank realm peeled away from Bai Dicang’s body out of nowhere, and then appeared within Su Yuan.

Afterwards, Su Yuan fused that hazy hundred-rank realm radiance into his Chaos True Name Great Dao!

What happened next delighted Su Yuan.

The True Name primal within him truly underwent a final metamorphosis!

One by one, True Name stars evolved into patches of True Name chaos.

The True Name starry sea in his body transformed into a chaotic ocean made up of countless True Name chaos fragments!

It interwove with the Nothingness universe, forming a perfect True-Void combination!

When the True Name Great Dao and the False Name Great Dao simultaneously advanced to the hundred-rank!

Su Yuan’s Fame Great Dao achieved an ultimate leap as well and completely reached the hundred-rank!

At that moment, Su Yuan gained an entirely new command ability. His mastery over “name” reached the supreme, absolute level!

This state rivaled a Dominator-level trait, and in some ways was even stronger than Dominator-level traits!

When Su Yuan broke through, nothing stirred in the outside world; it did not cause even the slightest ripple.

Compared to his previous breakthroughs, this one seemed far too ordinary!

That was because Su Yuan did not go through a gradual breakthrough this time. What he seized was already a hundred-rank realm; as soon as he obtained it, he was at the hundred rank. He did not need to acquire additional primal sources to transform.

Zang Tianguan glanced at the heavenly coffin behind him with a puzzled look.

Inside the coffin, Bai Dicang’s heavenly corpse still lay motionless, showing no sign of anomaly.

Zang Tianguan did not ponder it further.

After the four finished their discussion, they transformed into streaks of light and quickly returned to the ruins.

When they all stepped into the ruins, their expressions turned extremely surprised.

They all saw that the final strip of the golden Dao mark before the main hall’s entrance had been reduced to only a tiny sliver!

The golden Dao mark, which should have recovered to full, was once again only that last little bit, and it showed no sign of continuing to restore.

“Strange.” Wu Tianxiang was astonished.

“Could an outsider have been here? No, that can’t be — that golden Dao mark isn’t something cultivators below hundred-rank can clear!” Qixin said, puzzled, and his gaze landed on the other three.

The other three also wore puzzled looks, seemingly having no idea what had happened.

Zang Tianguan frowned and then said, “Forget it, no point dwelling on this. Since only this bit remains, we’ll all strike simultaneously and wear down this last fragment of the Dao mark!”

“All right!” everyone nodded in agreement.

The four of them arrived before the hall and struck together!

Su Yuan split into two bodies: one Chaos Dominator body and one Nothingness Dominator body. Both bodies emitted hundred-rank strength and auras.

Wu Tianxiang and Qixin looked on enviously; they both wanted another Dominator body.

But when they turned their gazes to Zang Tianguan, their faces showed confusion.

Zang Tianguan attacked the Dao mark, yet the heavenly coffin behind him remained unmoving; it did not look like the heavenly corpse would act.

“Zang Tianguan, your heavenly corpse won’t act?” Qixin asked in bewilderment.

Zang Tianguan replied with a calm exterior, “My combat strength is enough, so there’s no need to use the heavenly corpse!”

In truth, Zang Tianguan was inwardly stunned.

He had just been prepared to use the heavenly corpse, but when he tried to trigger it, he was shocked to find the heavenly corpse’s primal strength had directly dropped to the ninety-ninth rank!

The hundred-rank realm was gone!

This left Zang Tianguan stunned.

He confirmed it hundreds of times — the heavenly corpse had indeed fallen in realm, and he could not fathom why. Could it be that a hundred-rank powerhouse cannot be enslaved? Once enslaved, their realm disappears?

That was the only explanation Zang Tianguan could think of; otherwise he could not explain the current situation.

Now, at this critical moment of distributing the great opportunity, he could not possibly tell the others that his combat strength had a problem, or else he would lose his share.

So he forced himself to continue pretending.
