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

Above the Nine Stars Land.

At this moment, nine figures gathered once more.

With the number of Dominators increasing by one, the atmosphere among the crowd this time became extremely delicate.

Many Dominators who were originally quite amiable towards Su Yuan now harbored subtle traces of wariness and distance.

Su Yuan and Zhai Xing, as a group, began to face exclusion from the other Dominators.

This was obvious. With one more Chaos Dominator, there was one more person to share the Chaos Jade Marrow. Coupled with the fact that Su Yuan and Zhai Xing were naturally a single faction, they now outnumbered the others. Fortunately, both had just recently ascended, so the combined threat they posed was still within the tolerance limits of the other Dominators.

Now, with one more person, the token competition activity within the Killing Battlefield became somewhat delicate.

The Stone Dominator was the first to speak. “So, should this matter of competing for shares of the Chaos Jade continue? With one more person, do we need to restart the contest?”

With an additional Chaos Dominator, each Dominator’s share would decrease once again.

Initially, with Su Yuan included, the reduction in everyone’s share wasn’t that significant. But adding another person meant the reduction became quite substantial.

Su Yuan said, “Zhai Xing will not participate in this round of share competition.”

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the crowd eased slightly, but did not completely improve.

Because after this round of share competition ended, the next round of distribution would inevitably involve nine Chaos Dominators.

Moreover, if Su Yuan possessed a secret method that could allow others to cultivate a path like Dominator Zhai Xing’s, it was foreseeable that the number of Chaos Dominators on Su Yuan’s side could still increase.

Che Chi Old Man spoke up at this point. “I believe this method of distribution is no longer suitable for the current situation. I think it’s best if everyone’s shares are fixed from now on. There’s no need for this method anymore. Any future increases or decreases can be decided later!”

This was an attempt to solidify his own slice of the pie.

As soon as his words fell, they were immediately affirmed by Wuyazi.

“How about using everyone’s current territories as the basis for division? Minor adjustments can be made, but the overall proportions will follow this model!”

The other Dominators also nodded in agreement.

Zhai Xing frowned, glanced at Su Yuan, and after receiving his approval, immediately said, “The territory of our Seven Stars Dao Court is truly a bit too narrow. Isn’t such a distribution plan unreasonable?”

Che Chi Old Man chuckled. “Fellow Daoist Zhai Xing, don’t be impatient. Currently, the Taihao Chaos has twenty-five Chaos Kingdom territories, though the scope of each Chaos Kingdom varies. We can each carve out three Chaos Kingdom regions. You and Dominator Seven Stars can occupy the four largest Chaos Kingdom regions, equivalent to five or six ordinary Chaos Kingdom scopes. How does that sound?”

Zhai Xing replied with a hint of dissatisfaction, “Fellow Daoist Che Chi, don’t try to fool us. The output quantity of Chaos Jade Marrow isn’t strongly related to the size of the Chaos Kingdom territory. The amount of Chaos Jade Marrow produced by each Chaos Kingdom is roughly similar. For us, this is too disadvantageous! Although my master and I have only recently broken through to Chaos Dominator, my master’s strength is not weak!”

His tone was extremely forceful, filled with great confidence in his master.

Su Yuan pretended to be displeased. “Zhai Xing, watch your words.”

The Taixuan Dominator spoke at this moment. “Fellow Daoist Zhai Xing, we have already made significant concessions. You initially only had the territory of one Chaos Kingdom. We are ceding three additional Chaos Kingdoms to you. That is already extremely generous!”

He looked towards Su Yuan. “What does Fellow Daoist Seven Stars think?”

Su Yuan looked calmly at the crowd, his expression serene as he said, “If not, how about using this contest as the basis for territory division? Whichever faction seizes more tokens will have a larger territory allocated to them in the future, and the Chaos Jade output will also belong to that faction.”

Dominator Jiemeng was somewhat surprised. “That doesn’t seem fair to you, does it?”

At this moment, the number of tokens possessed by the Seven Stars Dao Court faction was at the very bottom.

Su Yuan said indifferently, “It’s not the end of the Killing Battlefield yet. The final outcome is still uncertain.”

Hearing this, the Taixuan Dominator felt this distribution method was even more advantageous for him, so he agreed, “Since that’s the case, I also agree to this plan.”

The other Dominators were also surprised, unable to grasp Su Yuan’s intentions. But looking at the situation, it seemed favorable to them as well. They didn’t believe the Seven Stars Dao Court could achieve a token comeback in a short time, so they all expressed their agreement one after another.

Zhai Xing secretly transmitted a message, sounding anxious. “Master, is this arrangement really good? We seem to be at a significant disadvantage!”

Su Yuan transmitted back, “Don’t worry. Our Seven Stars Dao Court has immense stamina. Over these years, we have cultivated many peak Dao Yan Realm cultivators. With your cultivation path now open to them, giving them another choice, they will inevitably break through to the Dao Venerable Realm rapidly. Furthermore, your senior brothers are not weak. Just a few of them are enough to surpass the other factions!”

Upon hearing this, Zhai Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Su Yuan thought so, he naturally believed him.

Thus, Zhai Xing also expressed his agreement.

The Taixuan Dominator coughed lightly. “A verbal discussion alone is not enough to establish trust. Why don’t we all sign a Chaos Contract? At the very least, it would appear more formal!”

“Very well!” Su Yuan nodded.

Witnessed by the nine Chaos Dominators, a Chaos Contract was formed, made in ten copies. Nine copies were given to each Chaos Dominator for safekeeping, and the remaining copy was placed within the Chaos Origin Great Dao, witnessed by the Chaos Great Dao itself.

This allocation of territory and resources would become the foundation determining all subsequent distributions.

These early-arriving Chaos Dominators would occupy the majority of the Chaos’s resources. For any later Chaos Dominators who broke through, obtaining resources would become even more difficult. Latecomers would only be able to acquire Chaos Jade Marrow by expanding their territory at the edges of the Chaos.

The various Dominators dispersed, each occupying a portion of the sky, observing the changing situation within the Killing Battlefield. They were very curious about what methods the Seven Stars Dao Court possessed to be so confident in seizing enough tokens.

Zhai Xing said to Su Yuan, “Master, should I return and personally train the disciples of the Seven Stars Dao Court to help them break through quickly?”

Su Yuan shook his head. “No need. Look at the situation of the other factions. They each have a Chaos Dominator presiding over them and receive personal guidance from a Dominator, yet very few break through to become Chaos Dominators. Essentially, Chaos Dominators aren’t taught; they emerge on their own. Your guidance might even have the opposite effect.”

Hearing this, Zhai Xing nodded. “So that’s how it is. What you value is the potential to become a Chaos Dominator, not the mere struggle for territory.”

“Correct. The output of the Taihao Chaos is not something I have my eyes on. However, the competitive environment of this Killing Battlefield can foster more powerful individuals! Your senior brothers need this kind of experience to help them forge their own paths!” Su Yuan said slowly.
