Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard”

Venerable Yuanhao repelled the cultivators who had come to seize the treasure and then stored the Myriad Waters Thousand-Layer White Lotus away.

Venerable Yuanhao was extremely pleased.

Naturally, obtaining a treasure was a joyous occasion. However, after he checked the messages transmitted by his subordinates, the smile vanished from his face.

“A Dao Venerable who just advanced to the second order, actually capable of slaying a fourth-order Dao Venerable, even a fifth-order one? This is utterly outrageous!”

Venerable Yuanhao immediately realized that this Zhan Tian was a ruthless and formidable prodigy!

“I can’t wait any longer. I must go and kill this Zhan Tian immediately, to crush his Dao heart!”

Venerable Yuanhao thought to himself without hesitation.

He wasted no more time and immediately began speeding towards the direction of the fire region.

With his quasi-Dominator realm strength, even suppressed ten thousandfold, his speed was still incredibly fast, traversing hundreds of light-years with every passing moment.

However, the territorial area of the Nine Stars Land was simply too vast now!

The water region alone was the size of an entire Chaos Kingdom. To cross the water region, even at Venerable Yuanhao’s speed, would take several thousand years. That was far too long!

“First go to a teleportation point, leave the Killing Battlefield, then teleport back in!”

Venerable Yuanhao changed direction, heading towards a teleportation point hundreds of billions of light-years away.

He could only hope his luck with random teleportation wouldn’t be too abysmal.

“Hmm, I can simply release numerous avatars for random teleportation. A mere second-order Dao Venerable can be dealt with by any one of my avatars.”

Changing his train of thought, Venerable Yuanhao came up with a brilliant idea.

Soon, he arrived at a teleportation point that allowed exit and left the Killing Battlefield.

Afterwards, he returned to the entrance, split off over a hundred avatars, and continuously teleported them into the Killing Battlefield. Finally, his one hundred and seventh avatar successfully teleported into the fire region.

Venerable Yuanhao frowned. That was rather unlucky. With only twenty-four regions in total, it took over a hundred random attempts to land in the fire region.

Venerable Yuanhao’s main body teleported in again. Upon entering, he found it was still the water region. He decided against teleporting back and forth repeatedly and simply began flying straight towards the fire region. His teleportation point was at the edge of the water region; crossing over to the fire region would only take a few decades.

On the other side.

While the entire Chaos Universe was focused on various super prodigies and disciples of Dominators, an ordinary Elder from the Seven Stars Dao Court had now reached the level of a twelfth-order Dao Venerable.

He was Su Yuan’s subordinate, Dao Venerable Yin Xing.

As a Dao Court Elder, Yin Xing received vast amounts of resources. Furthermore, he often shamelessly sought out Su Yuan for guidance on insights.

Coupled with the massive amount of Dao Yan Crystals he had previously borrowed from the Seven Stars Dao Court and another huge loan he took from Su Li, his comprehension of Dao Principles had unknowingly reached the twelfth order!

However, it wasn’t fused Dao Principles, just twelve separate, individual Dao Principles.

The reason he could break through so rapidly was that the Dao Principles he chose were extremely simple lower-grade and middle-grade ones.

To be precise, they were all branch principles of the Star Dao Principle!

To put it another way, while others comprehended one Star Dao Principle to advance one order, Yin Xing split the Star Dao Principle into twelve branches and comprehended and advanced through them one by one. His level of Dao Principle comprehension as a twelfth-order Dao Venerable was exactly the same as that of a first-order Star Dao Principle Dao Venerable.

He was an unbelievably watered-down version!

Now, as Yin Xing arrived in the star domain, it felt like coming home. Moving here, his speed was as fast as teleportation; he was like a fish in water.

Having entered only a year ago, he had already obtained over ten treasures, making it an incredibly bountiful harvest.

At a certain moment, he arrived at a location and witnessed a magnificent spectacle: two supergiant stars colliding, creating a massive explosion. Countless strands of stellar power scattered chaotically, yet under the suppression of the star domain, the fluctuations quickly settled down.

During this process, the fluctuations of the Star Dao Principle were extremely evident!

Observing this, Yin Xing felt insights gushing forth like a spring, and he fell into a state of enlightenment.

An unknown amount of time later.

Yin Xing regained clarity.

He looked into his Origin Space.

He saw that the twelve Star branch Dao Principles had now fused for the most part!

Yin Xing extended his hand. A wisp of twelfth-order fused Dao Principle power appeared at his fingertip.

With a flick of his finger, a strand of starlight shot out, transforming into a star arrow that flew towards the two giant stars before him!

Boom! Boom!

With two tremendous explosions, the two supergiant stars instantly blew apart, turning into dust amidst the blasts.

“This power… it rivals that of an Eight-Order fused Dao Principle, doesn’t it?”

Yin Xing’s eyes lit up. He had actually leaped from a zero-fusion Dao Venerable directly to an Eight-Order Fused Dao Venerable! Although the power of his fused twelfth-order Dao Principles was very low, he had still managed to forge a path of fusion!

“My conjecture actually came true! Even if one advances to a high-order Dao Venerable using the branch principles of the Star Dao Principle, the fusion result isn’t simply the pure Star Dao Principle anymore!”

An Eight-Order Fused Dao Venerable counted as a high-level figure even within a Dao Court.

Just as Yin Xing was rejoicing, Su Yuan’s voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

“Come see me!”

Yin Xing was stunned.

He had heard Su Yuan’s voice.

A portal materialized out of thin air before him.

Without hesitation, he took a step into it.

Time and space shifted.

He had already returned to the Seven Stars Dao Court.

Upon seeing Su Yuan, Yin Xing immediately bowed in salute.

Su Yuan looked him up and down, sensing the fused Dao Principles within his body, a look of astonishment appearing on his face.

“Is this… a Chaos Star Dao Principle?” Su Yuan asked, surprised.

“I’m not sure. I just had a sudden enlightenment and fused the twelve branch principles together!” Yin Xing answered truthfully.

Su Yuan clicked his tongue in amazement. “Your path has indeed opened up a new road. However, with the strength of your fused Dao Principles, even if you advance to the quasi-Dominator realm and open a Little Chaos, wanting to evolve it into a true Chaos… the strength still isn’t sufficient.”

Hearing this, Yin Xing laughed freely. “Haha, if I can reach the quasi-Dominator realm, that’s enough to look down upon the Chaos! My talent is limited, my comprehension average. Being able to reach this step, I am already extremely satisfied!”

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan waved his hand. “That’s not necessarily unsolvable.”

Yin Xing was taken aback. “Aren’t there only twelve branches of the Star Dao Principle in total? Are there some I don’t know about?”

“The existing branches of the Star Dao Principle are indeed only twelve!” Su Yuan nodded, then smiled. “However, I can create some new branch Dao Principles of the Star Dao Principle for you to comprehend.”

“Cr… create?” Yin Xing was utterly dumbfounded. “Are Chaos Dominators this powerful?”

“Not exactly, other Chaos Dominators don’t have this ability.” Su Yuan chuckled.

He then said, “The path you’re on now holds the promise of reaching Chaos Dominator. Are you willing to become my disciple?”

Upon hearing this, Yin Xing’s heart trembled!

Without the slightest hesitation, he dropped to his knees, his body prostrating in worship.

“Disciple Yin Xing pays respects to Master!”

Yin Xing’s voice was filled with excitement, nervousness, and exhilaration!
