Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” - Chapter 469: The Colossal Transaction, A Huge Win
“Five hundred trillion Dao Source?”
The Lord of the Nine Void was utterly shocked!
This amount was simply too enormous!
Previously, the most he had ever obtained was just a few tens of thousands of Dao Source!
Now, the Seven Stars Dao Sovereign was actually willing to trade five hundred trillion Dao Source in one go? He suspected he was under an illusion.
“What do you want to trade for?” The Lord of the Nine Void asked warily.
Su Yuan said, “I cultivate the Time Dao Principle. The time a person has experienced also becomes a cultivation resource for me. I sense an immense amount of time power on you. I need this time power from you to propel my realm forward!”
As he spoke, Su Yuan also manifested the Time Dao Principle at the Dao Lord level, demonstrating that his words were not a bluff.
“My time power? What harm does this cause me?” The Lord of the Nine Void frowned.
Su Yuan said seriously, “I swear by the Transaction Dao Principle, the Causality Dao Principle, and the True Name Dao Principle: if you lose this time power, it will have absolutely no impact on your cultivation, your realm, or your future Dao path!”
The Lord of the Nine Void narrowed his eyes. He glanced at the earnest Su Yuan, then checked the other Dao Lords in Daochu City. He suspected that the other Dao Lords had advanced so rapidly precisely because they had completed trades with Su Yuan and obtained Dao Source.
“Did the others trade as well?” The Lord of the Nine Void asked directly.
“Correct. I also purchased time power from others. However, their time power was too little. Their combined time probably isn’t even as much as what you possess!”
Su Yuan said sincerely.
The Lord of the Nine Void was taken aback, then understanding dawned in his heart.
He was a cultivator who had followed the Heavenly Fate Child since the dawn of Chaos. If this time power was truly tradable, then the amount of time on him was indeed vast.
After pondering for a moment, the Lord of the Nine Void said, “Five hundred trillion is too low a price. I want one quadrillion Dao Source!”
Su Yuan’s expression turned hesitant. “That price is too high!”
“Heh, my time power is definitely far greater than all of theirs combined! One quadrillion is absolutely worth it!”
The Lord of the Nine Void currently didn’t know how much Dao Source others had obtained. He checked the Transaction Platform and found that the circulating Dao Source hadn’t increased much. He estimated this price he quoted was already quite high.
He was also leaving room for bargaining.
“So, you are willing to trade this time?” Su Yuan asked.
“Naturally, I am willing!”
The Lord of the Nine Void replied casually.
And with that, their conversation announced the basic conditions for the transaction were met!
After a brief silence, Su Yuan said, “Since that’s the case, our transaction is agreed upon!”
The moment these words fell, it declared the transaction officially established!
Thus, the Chaos Trait 【Balancing Work and Rest】, using the Transaction Dao Principle as a bridge, swept away all the Chaos rest time from the Lord of the Nine Void in one go!
【True Name】: Lord of the Nine Void · Voidless · ……
【Realm】: Eighth-stage Dao Lord
【Chaos Time】: Seventy Million Breaths
【Rest Time】: Fifty-six Million Breaths
On the data panel of the Lord of the Nine Void, the line for Rest Time was directly cleared!
The Lord of the Nine Void only felt as if something had been snatched from him, leaving a hollow, empty feeling in his heart. But upon careful inspection, he found nothing abnormal!
He could confirm that his cultivation, his realm, his treasures—nothing was missing. But something had definitely been taken.
Moreover, he hadn’t expected Su Yuan to agree to the trade so decisively!
He immediately knew his asking price had been too low!
“One quadrillion Dao Source has been transferred to your Transaction Platform. You can withdraw it at any time. I have matters to attend to and must leave. Until next time!”
After saying this, Su Yuan’s body directly dissipated, not giving the Lord of the Nine Void a chance to speak.
The Lord of the Nine Void waved his hand, and sparkling Dao Source crystals materialized in his palm.
After confirming these Dao Source were genuine, his heart was filled with both joy and frustration.
He was happy because, with these Dao Source, his strength was sure to advance by a huge margin!
But he was frustrated because he felt he had sold himself short!
“A huge win!”
Su Yuan returned to his own room.
Looking at his own rest time, he was also stunned.
【Rest Time】: 610 million breaths
The total Chaos rest time obtained from all the others combined was only 50 million breaths. Yet, from the Lord of the Nine Void alone, he had obtained ten times that amount!
Does this guy not cultivate at all? He really has a lot of free time!
In reality, the Lord of the Nine Void himself held the role of a Chaos Manager. After his cultivation reached a bottleneck, he naturally lost the motivation to cultivate further.
Su Yuan revealed a smile. He could have closed the deal at an even lower price, but to cut the Gordian knot quickly, he hadn’t bothered to haggle.
Besides, that price was indeed very low. For others, one hundred trillion Dao Source could only trade for 100,000 breaths of Chaos Time. The price he offered could be said to be very, very little.
Furthermore, the moment the transaction was completed, he obtained a massive amount of Transaction Power, which could also be converted into a vast quantity of Dao Source—at least seven hundred trillion. So, what he actually paid wasn’t much.
Additionally, Su Yuan intentionally gave the Lord of the Nine Void a portion of Dao Source to put him at the forefront, to deal with the Heavenly Dao’s will.
He would observe the situation from behind.
“I refuse to believe that the Heavenly Fate Child has no backup plan!” Su Yuan had been pondering a question in his heart.
If he were to break through to the Chaos Dominator level and then leave his own Chaos, wouldn’t he leave behind some contingency plans, like resurrection methods?
The answer was definitely yes!
Therefore, he had always been prepared to flee. At the first sign of anything fishy, he would immediately escape beyond the Chaos.
“Now, which path should I break through first?”
Su Yuan began to contemplate.
He currently had two paths to Chaos Dominator.
One was the path he had explored himself: True Name, Star Dust, Causality, Reincarnation, Wish, Transaction. The subsequent path beyond that remained unclear.
The other path was a complete and clear Chaos path inherent in the Chaos fruit borne by the Chaos Flower. He had now mastered the eight Dao Principles of Earth, Water, Wind, Fire, Time, Space, Matter, and Energy. He was only four Dao Principles away from becoming a Chaos Dominator!
“Since the second path only lacks four Dao Principles to be fully mastered, naturally, becoming a Chaos Dominator first is the way to go!”
Without further thought, Su Yuan’s main consciousness descended upon his Second Avatar.
The Chaos Trait 【Balancing Work and Rest】 was also directly displayed before the Second Avatar.
He immediately began to comprehend the subsequent World Dao Principle and Fate Dao Principle!
A vast ocean of rest time transformed into a mass of Chaos fire at this moment, completely enveloping Su Yuan.
His thoughts and willpower reached an unimaginable level.
An immense amount of Dao Source also appeared around Su Yuan, transforming into strands of energy that merged into his body.
The process of mastering the World Dao Principle was being accomplished at an extremely rapid pace!
