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

Chapter 712: The Disappearing Changsun Xuzhu



“Truly worthy of being a Supreme Treasure!” Sima Tu exclaimed. “His Space Dao has already surpassed my Time Dao. If I could obtain that Supreme Treasure, combining them would make my power skyrocket!”

Northern Curse Master couldn’t help but remark, “His defensive methods are truly abnormal. The attacks of the three of us combined barely faze him; it’s just superficial damage. He might have fled only out of fear that more people would pursue him! His offensive capabilities are equally bizarre—they can bypass my movement technique, ignore my defenses, and strike directly at my origin source. His strength is easily ten thousand times what it was before!”

Li Fei furrowed her brows slightly, glanced at the two of them, then her figure flickered as she left on her own.

Sima Tu and Northern Curse Master didn’t follow.

“She’s probably going to find that person to make a move,” Sima Tu said.

Northern Curse Master spoke with envy, “But what can we do? She was born a woman from the start.”

Sima Tu then spoke up, “What about the life-saving grace?”

Northern Curse Master’s expression stiffened.

He hesitated for a moment before reluctantly handing over a Peerless-Grade Dominator Artifact at the 91st tier.

“This is all I have left in my reserves!”

Sima Tu took it without hesitation, examined it briefly, then nodded with satisfaction before turning and leaving without a backward glance.

Northern Curse Master let out a sigh. “This time, I got nothing at all—lost a Dominator Artifact, made an enemy out of Changsun Xuzhu who now has a Supreme Treasure, owe Li Fei a favor, and had to pay for that intelligence report... No, I need to recoup my losses. That information seller—may he die a miserable death!”

He let out a cold snort and vanished just as swiftly.

By now, the message that Northern Curse Master had mass-sent earlier had been received by many. They all knew that Changsun Xuzhu of the Nothingness Prison had obtained a Supreme Treasure, and everyone began searching for information about him.

After confirming the truth of the matter, a flood of experts began moving through the First Frontline, scouring for any trace of Changsun Xuzhu.

At this very moment, Su Yuan’s main body had already returned to the small courtyard in Jiang Town.

That teleportation force was far too annoying. It was better to return to the First Frontline, hide away in this tiny little town, and live in seclusion.

“Cut the weeds and dig up the roots. I need to deal with Changsun Xuzhu’s resurrection methods first!”

With a thought, Su Yuan immediately activated [Mental Dominator]!

His mind locked onto Changsun Xuzhu, and using his own consciousness as the source, he instantly tracked down every means of resurrection that Changsun Xuzhu had left behind.

What shocked Su Yuan was that Changsun Xuzhu’s resurrection methods numbered as high as ten million different types! And that was just the variety—not the quantity. The actual number reached several trillion individual instances!

Good heavens, no wonder he was a 92nd-order Great Power. The hidden methods were truly too numerous.

“It seems I’m still far too careless. Even an ordinary nobody like Changsun Xuzhu has this many resurrection methods. The ones I’ve prepared for myself are only a few dozen times more than his.”

Su Yuan sighed. Life was tough. Even after cultivating to this level, he was still worrying about life and death.

Su Yuan swung down toward these mental threads.

True Name Power transformed into Sword Light, instantly splitting into trillions of strands of Sword Light.

The Primal Source Power within Su Yuan’s body was drained through several cycles as a result.

When everything finally settled.

Changsun Xuzhu’s resurrection methods had been reduced to just three.

Su Yuan’s gaze sharpened. One of them was hidden within the Nothingness Prison, another within the Chaos Immortal Alliance, and the last one was hidden within the Ultimate Dueling Arena.

To have hidden one resurrection method in each of these three major powers—that was quite something.

Su Yuan focused. Within the Chaos Immortal Alliance, Changsun Xuzhu’s resurrection method was fused into a treasure of considerable rank, stored in the treasury of a powerful being.

Seeing this, Su Yuan used his [Dominator of Artifacts] ability to remotely trigger that treasure.

Immediately, a man appeared before the treasure, grabbing it with his hand.

Then, Su Yuan watched as that mental thread was severed. Clearly, Changsun Xuzhu’s method had been discovered and eliminated.

Su Yuan then turned his attention to the Ultimate Dueling Arena. Within it, a remnant soul of Changsun Xuzhu was trapped in a cultivator’s Ten Thousand Soul Banner, acting as an insignificant auxiliary soul that hadn’t been activated.

Su Yuan activated his [Life Dominator] ability, transmitting life energy into it and causing its aura to surge.

The owner of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner immediately detected the anomaly and locked onto that auxiliary soul.

And just like that, this mental thread was quickly severed as well.

Finally, Su Yuan looked toward the Nothingness Prison. Within it, a True Spirit imprint of Changsun Xuzhu rested on a long lamp in the True Spirit Hall.

At that very moment, a man and a woman were staring at this True Spirit Lamp.

The woman was none other than Li Fei, and Su Yuan took a look at the man.

[Name]: Prison Master/Wu Tianxiang

[Realm]: 100th-Order Nothingness Dominator / 99th-Order Chaos Dominator

[Dao]: Nothingness Prison Heaven Dao / Chaos Prison Heaven Dao

[Affiliation]: Three Mountains Society, Nothingness Prison

“Hm?”

The man seemed to sense something and looked over.

Su Yuan immediately withdrew his mental perception.

“Brother Xiang?” Li Fei asked.

“Someone was spying just now. Interesting—I can’t seem to lock onto them, just like with this Changsun Xuzhu.” The Prison Master spoke indifferently.

“Could it be Changsun Xuzhu?”

The Prison Master replied casually, “Not necessarily. Whether it’s him or not, it’s related to him! It seems the Supreme Treasure you mentioned is indeed real.”

Li Fei’s eyes lit up. “Could it be useful to you, Brother Xiang?”

“I don’t know.” The Prison Master reached out, trying to grab Changsun Xuzhu’s True Spirit imprint.

But at that moment, the power of [Equivalent Annihilation] crossed through time and space, locking onto that True Spirit imprint.

“Hmph!”

The Prison Master seemed to perceive the power of [Equivalent Annihilation]. He turned his grab into a slap, striking toward the force of Equivalent Annihilation.

The power of [Equivalent Annihilation] fell upon the palm in midair, blocked with ease—or rather, neutralized by the Prison Master’s own power.

However, Su Yuan’s second method followed swiftly. He directly used his [Borrowing Dominator] ability.

He simply borrowed that True Spirit imprint away!

And so, that True Spirit imprint vanished without a trace right under the Prison Master’s very nose.

The Prison Master reversed time and space, but it was already useless. Once Su Yuan had “borrowed” it, he had completely annihilated the past and future of that True Spirit imprint. Moreover, from the informational level, he had permanently deleted it.

Su Yuan, possessing the Power of Fame, had more fundamental means of manipulating “information,” and deletion was among them. This was a technique unique to the Fame Great Dao.

Then, Su Yuan fully withdrew his mental perception.

The Prison Master fell silent.

Li Fei lowered her head as well.

What had she just witnessed? The master of the Nothingness Prison himself had had a True Spirit imprint remotely retrieved and erased right before his eyes!

The Prison Master’s expression darkened. “Mobilize our forces. Find him!”
