Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” - Chapter 472: Sights of the Chaotic Realm
Su Yuan exclaimed repeatedly, “What a powerful ark!”
In Su Yuan’s perception, this ark was equivalent to an Imperial-level city-type supreme treasure! This merchant convoy’s strength was already quite impressive.
“Wait here, I’ll go explain the situation to the steward in the convoy!”
Wang Ming boarded the multi-story ship.
A short while later, a beam of guiding light shone down from the ship.
Su Yuan stored away his own Chaos Flying Ship and, following the guiding force, stepped onto the ark.
Upon boarding the ship, Su Yuan saw a city!
There was no small number of people inside, with a large number of cultivators residing within.
Wang Ming led a middle-aged cultivator over.
“Steward Li, this is Fellow Daoist Su Yuan, who wishes to board the ark!” Wang Ming said.
Steward Li nodded, “I understand. Although you are boarding midway, you still need to pay the full fare—one thousand Dao Yan Coins!”
Su Yuan saluted, “No problem.”
Su Yuan handed over one thousand Dao Yan Coins to Steward Li.
Steward Li gave Su Yuan a token.
“This is your boarding pass. It has the room number for your quarters. If you have any needs, you can ask the staff on the ship. I have matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now!”
Steward Li worked with swift decisiveness; after tossing the token, he departed.
Su Yuan could see that this Steward Li actually possessed mid-stage Dao Yan Realm strength, showing the power of this merchant convoy.
Wang Ming smiled, “Fellow Daoist, what’s your room number? I’ve just completed my task and have some free time. I can take you there.”
“Alright!”
Su Yuan nodded with a hearty smile.
Soon, Wang Ming brought Su Yuan to a courtyard.
Su Yuan settled in temporarily.
One day later.
Su Yuan entered a Myriad Scriptures Pavilion on the multi-story ship.
“Guest, what kind of texts do you need?”
“I’ll just browse casually!”
Su Yuan picked up a book and began examining it.
His will effortlessly swept through all the texts in the entire Myriad Scriptures Pavilion. Those seals were, naturally, as good as non-existent in Su Yuan’s eyes.
Thus, the contents of all the texts in the entire Myriad Scriptures Pavilion were completely mastered by him.
He finally gained a general understanding of the specific situation of this Chaos.
This particular Chaos actually had a specific name!
It was called the Taihao Chaos!
The entire Chaos was extremely vast, containing numerous Chaos Nations!
There were some differences in cultivation realms, but they were largely similar. Above the Dao Yan Realm, they were either called Dao Lord or Dao Venerable Realm!
The Myriad Scriptures Pavilion only had introductions for a small portion of the Dao Venerable Realm.
A force with a Dao Venerable presiding over it was called a Dao Court!
What surprised Su Yuan was that, originally, a Dao Lord (Dao Venerable) controlling a Dao Principle also had a range limitation. This range was very large. Previously, the Primordial Chaos was too small, giving him the illusion that a Dao Lord could control a complete Dao Principle within the Chaos.
In reality, the range a Dao Lord could control a Dao Principle over was also limited!
The size of this range was precisely the origin of the size of a Chaos Nation.
A single Chaos Nation typically had a group of Dao Venerables existing within it.
Su Yuan wanted to check for information on the Chaos Dominator level above Dao Venerable, but the merchant convoy’s Myriad Scriptures Pavilion didn’t have any.
The level of this merchant convoy still wasn’t high enough.
The Miluo Market they were heading to next was a larger platform; he could go there to look.
Inside the merchant convoy’s room.
Steward Li was reporting to the convoy’s person in charge.
“Boss, the person I just met is not simple!”
“Oh? What realm?”
“He appears to be mid-stage Dao Yan Realm!”
“What’s unusual about him?” the person in charge asked, puzzled.
“Nothing,” Steward Li said, “It’s just a feeling.”
The person in charge was speechless, “I understand. We are just a merchant convoy, not an enforcement team. Whether he’s simple or not, we don’t need to care.”
Steward Li hesitated for a moment but still nodded and withdrew.
He actually felt this was an opportunity, but what kind of opportunity, he himself didn’t understand.
The Eternal Ark traveled swiftly through the Chaos.
It passed through dangerous places one after another but was able to overcome all obstacles and pass through safely.
Along the journey, Su Yuan saw quite a bit of the customs and culture of this foreign Chaos, broadening his horizons.
Even when the Eternal Ark smoothly docked outside the Miluo Market thirty thousand years later, no abnormal incidents like robbery, treasure snatching, or internal strife had occurred.
This left Su Yuan, who had been anticipating it for half the day, extremely disappointed.
“Novels are all lies. Didn’t they say the transportation the protagonist takes is bound to have accidents?”
Su Yuan returned the token and stepped onto the Miluo Market.
Wang Ming also conveniently acted as Su Yuan’s guide, as he had been here before.
“Big Brother Su Yuan, this Miluo Market is a market opened by the Miluo Dao Court. The treasures that can be traded here are extremely numerous. I heard there’s also a Dao Yan Stone mineral vein nearby. Tsk tsk, that’s the mineral source for Dao Yan Coins!”
Wang Ming was utterly amazed, full of praise for the Miluo Market and the Miluo Dao Court behind it.
The Miluo Market was extremely vast, looking more like a God Realm Sea than just a market.
Su Yuan nodded understandingly, “Take me to places like the Myriad Scriptures Pavilion here!”
“Oh? Is Big Brother Su planning to purchase cultivation techniques and texts?” Wang Ming asked.
“Mhm, just browsing casually! But I want to find the best ones,” Su Yuan nodded.
“Alright then, I’ll take you. I know where the official shops of the Miluo Market are!”
Wang Ming brought Su Yuan to the Myriad Dao Tower of the Miluo Market!
A female cultivator greeter came forward to welcome them.
“Two distinguished guests, welcome to the Myriad Dao Tower. The texts here are all-encompassing and cover everything. What are your needs?” the female cultivator asked with a smiling, pleasant expression.
Su Yuan said directly, “I need to purchase texts at the Dao Venerable level!”
The female cultivator was stunned.
She immediately tensed up and quickly contacted the manager.
The next moment.
A female cultivator whose aura reached the peak of the Dao Yan Realm appeared out of thin air before Su Yuan and the other.
This woman, upon seeing Su Yuan, immediately bowed respectfully, “Senior, greetings. I am the person in charge of the Myriad Dao Tower, Zhou Mei’er. Please, Senior, follow me to the top floor! Texts at the Dao Venerable level are all there.”
Su Yuan was surprised; this person in charge of the Myriad Dao Tower didn’t confirm his identity or realm but directly treated him as a Dao Venerable.
He said to Wang Ming, “Wait here.”
Wang Ming stood dumbfounded in place.
“Okay, okay…” Wang Ming opened his mouth, barely able to squeeze out two words.
By the time he regained his senses, Su Yuan’s figure was already gone.
The greeter female cultivator beside him politely invited him to rest in the VIP room.
Wang Ming, in a daze, went to the VIP room. Looking at the cup of top-grade Enlightenment Tea worth one million Dao Yan Coins served to him, his mind was a complete muddle of shock and confusion.
“Big Brother Su Yuan… is actually a Dao Venerable?”
Wang Ming still found it unbelievable. Although it wasn’t confirmed yet, it was probably eighty to ninety percent true!
Such a thing couldn’t be faked; otherwise, it would be seeking death!
He never expected that a random passerby he encountered would actually be a Dao Venerable! He had even attacked the other party!
“Now, I have to make a choice. Perhaps this is the only opportunity I’ll have in this lifetime!” Wang Ming began to ponder.
