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

Chapter 659: The Lotus Seed Conceives Life



Su Yuan stepped forward.

His figure appeared out of thin air in a space of nothingness.

This was a location he had chosen arbitrarily.

Su Yuan took out the lotus seed and infused it with True Name Power.

The lotus seed was like a bottomless pit, frantically absorbing Su Yuan’s source power.

Su Yuan smiled calmly.

Right now, he had a full 19 trillion Kalpa units of Chaos Jade in his possession; activating a single lotus seed should be a piece of cake.

Su Yuan’s expression was initially calm.

Very quickly, however, his expression changed. The source power devoured by the lotus seed had already reached 100 million Kalpa units.

The Chaos Jade was converted into True Name Power through his power as an intermediary, with no loss itself, so this energy was being poured directly, in full measure, into this tiny little lotus seed.

100 million Kalpa units—eight hundred thousand trillion Chaos Jade—disappeared without a trace, as if thrown into a bottomless pit.

“Tsk, tsk, truly insane. It’s only because I’m rich now. Before, I could only scrape together a few hundred thousand Kalpa units.”

Su Yuan silently converted the Chaos Jade, letting the lotus seed absorb to its heart’s content.

No one knew how long passed.

A full nine trillion Kalpa units of energy had vanished.

The lotus seed finally stopped absorbing energy.

Under Su Yuan’s expectant gaze, the lotus seed quietly grew into a delicate little lotus flower.

The lotus flower was very ordinary, extremely tiny, and its pale golden petals only slightly caught the eye, looking harmless and innocent.

The little golden lotus only bloomed with eight petals, its leaves a verdant green and very tender.

At this moment, the Chaos Void Lotus had only just been born, reaching merely the Seventy-Two Rank. This was its initial rank. As the golden lotus gradually grew, it would eventually mature at the Ninety-Nine Rank.

Its infancy was the lifelong ceiling of many people’s pursuits—truly a poignant thought.

“Should I awaken it now, or wait for it to grow and develop on its own before awakening it?”

Su Yuan thought for a moment and then decided to awaken it now. Once it possessed wisdom, the Chaos Void Lotus would work harder to convert the power of nothingness and grow into a true Chaos Void Lotus.

Su Yuan activated the [Life Dominator] trait and gently touched the Chaos Void Lotus with his finger.

The radiance of life bloomed upon the lotus.

The originally ordinary little golden lotus instantly burst forth with tens of millions of rays of light. The blinding brilliance forced even Su Yuan to close his eyes.

When he opened them again, a tiny little girl was standing before him.

The girl looked only three or four years old, as delicate as a porcelain doll, her eyes as clear as water, pure and flawless.

A life just born was naturally pure and spotless.

“Father!”

Seeing Su Yuan, the little girl’s eyes lit up, and she immediately pounced, rushing into Su Yuan’s arms.

Su Yuan felt a surge of immense force hit him, strong enough to force the manifestation of his Void Ark guardian barrier.

“Easy, easy!” Su Yuan said gently.

“Oh, sorry.” The little girl showed a shy expression, then looked up and said, “Father, what is my name?”

Su Yuan rubbed her little head and smiled. “From now on, your name is Su Lian!”

The girl blinked, feeling the name was a bit simple, but she still smiled happily. “Thank you, Father! I have a name now!”

The girl happily twirled around Su Yuan.

As she moved, she familiarized herself with her power, achieving perfect mastery in an instant.

Although Su Lian appeared very young, she was born with innate knowledge, automatically mastering Chaos Void Dao, Chaos Life-Death Dao, Chaos Creation Dao, and many other great Daos. Her strength was terrifying!

Her lotus petals transformed into the skirt she wore, possessing a quality at the Seventy-Two Rank Divine-Grade, automatically growing as her cultivation level increased.

Her lotus leaves transformed into ninety-nine flying blades that danced around her, each one reaching the level of a Seventy-Two Rank Dominator Artifact.

Even more terrifying was her source power. Concealed within her body was an ocean of source power, making her sustained combat capability unimaginable.

“Little Lian, how strong are you?” Su Yuan asked curiously.

Su Lian said confidently, “Father, even though I’ve just been born, I know the combat power levels of Chaos Dominators and Nothingness Dominators. With my strength, I can defeat an ordinary Seventy-Ninth Rank Dominator in a fight! Am I amazing?”

Her expression was one of ‘Hurry up and praise me.’

“Incredibly amazing!” Su Yuan praised.

Su Lian proudly raised her eyebrows. “Father, don’t worry. Your safety is in my hands!”

The little girl’s face was full of confidence.

“Good, good, good. From now on, my safety is in your hands!”

Su Yuan took Little Lian’s hand and stepped forward, instantly vanishing from their spot and appearing within the City Lord’s Mansion of Black Flame City.

A look of surprise appeared in Su Lian’s eyes. She asked curiously, “Father, what technique was that? I couldn’t even see through it!”

“Haha, just a little trick.” Su Yuan said calmly.

“Father is amazing!” Su Lian showed an admiring expression.

This wasn’t an act. Su Lian, with her innate knowledge, clearly understood that Su Yuan’s method was anything but simple, and her praise was utterly sincere.

Flame King appeared before Su Yuan, bowing respectfully. “Greetings, Star Master!”

“Mm. This is my daughter, Su Lian. Take her to familiarize herself with the surroundings,” Su Yuan said.

Flame King was startled for a moment, and his gaze toward Su Lian shifted. He could already see that Su Lian was a spirit plant that had taken form, of similar origin to that Meng Kui. But that Meng Kui was merely a maidservant, whereas this Su Lian was the Star Master’s acknowledged daughter. That was the difference.

Before long, Meng Kui also appeared, and she naturally became Su Lian’s maidservant, responsible for Su Lian’s daily affairs.

Only then did Su Yuan calm his mind and go into seclusion to comprehend and cultivate.

When he looked inward at his own body, he could see that there were nineteen abnormally large True Name Stars within him!

One of them represented Zhan Tian, signifying his former realm of the Seventy-Two Rank. Although Zhan Tian’s current cultivation had yet to recover, the power of his True Name was calculated based on the peak he had once reached.

The other seventeen True Name Stars of the same level represented the strongest beings of the Second Frontline: six Speakers and eleven Nothingness Dominators!

The last one naturally came from Su Lian. Her representative True Name Star was the brightest, single-handedly overshadowing the other eighteen people.

A total of nineteen beings at the Seventy-Two Rank now knew of Su Yuan, were deeply impressed by him, and provided him with an immense amount of True Name Enlightenment!

“It seems that True Name Stars at the Seventy-Two Rank are exceptionally bright and special!”

When Su Yuan examined the True Name Stars, he found some belonging to Seventy-First Rank Chaos Dominators. But their radiance was far inferior to those at the Seventy-Two Rank; the two were simply not on the same level.

Though there was only a difference of perhaps one or two ranks between them, the gap was enormous.

Clearly, the Seventy-Two Rank was a special realm!

Su Yuan knew that the cultivation limit for many people was the Seventy-Two Rank. Did this represent a state of reaching some kind of perfection?

Su Yuan had not yet reached this realm; he would naturally understand once he got there.
