Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” - Chapter 474: Seeing Through the Conspiracy, Stepping Out of the Cage
“They are, respectively, the Lord of Taihao, Wuyazi, Elder Chechi, Stone Dominator, Heavenly Fate Child, …”
Su Yuan froze when he saw a familiar name on the spot!
Heavenly Fate Child!
That name which he had heard from the Lord of the Nine Void was, shockingly, from this Chaos!
Finally found your little tail!
Su Yuan murmured inwardly.
This book listed the names of nine Chaos Dominators, the places where they once resided, the inheritance sites they left behind, and some related scriptures.
But the current whereabouts of these Chaos Dominators were not recorded in the texts.
Su Yuan didn’t mind, just knowing the outline was enough. He was still some distance away from becoming a Chaos Dominator himself.
Su Yuan flipped to the third book.
[Chaos Dao Venerable Purple List]: This list records currently known Dao Venerable-level experts with potential to become Chaos Dominators. The following are partial entries:
[1]: Venerable Yuanhao, twentieth-order Dao Venerable, rumored to possess the Taihao Dominator’s inheritance. His Chaos Dao path has multiple advancement routes: twelve ways, twenty-one ways, thirty-six, forty-nine ways, and the legendary eighty-one ways! Venerable Yuanhao can become a Chaos Dominator at any moment, but his ambitions obviously go beyond that.
[2]: Wudaizi, eighteenth-order Dao Venerable, said to inherit the Chaotic path of Wuyazi Dominator, and has already reached the first-tier standard of that path, ready to breakthrough into a Chaos Dominator at any time.
[3]: Venerable Yaoyue, ninth-order Dao Venerable. According to multiple verifications, Venerable Yaoyue has comprehended the Chaos World Dao; she is only half a step away from fully consolidating a Chaos Dao Fruit, and likewise can breakthrough into a Chaos Dominator at any time.
[4]: Venerable Ranmeng, eighteenth-order Dao Venerable, …
The Chaos Purple-Gold List includes eighteen Dao Venerables in total, almost all possessing the potential to breakthrough into Chaos Dominators. The rankings are ordered by the probability of achieving a Chaos Dominator.
That is why Yaoyue, even as a ninth-order, could rank third—she was extraordinarily close to breaking through.
These eighteen Dao Venerables are the top figures of Taihao Chaos; their power and status are truly astonishing.
From the list, Su Yuan also gleaned the distribution of major forces within Taihao Chaos, deepening his understanding of the whole Chaos.
“Sure enough, only by leaving a small place can you see more scenery!”
Su Yuan murmured to himself.
He had only been in this foreign Chaos a short time, yet he already knew much about the Chaos Dominators, and even roughly grasped the real cultivation methods for becoming one.
Su Yuan gazed deep into the starry void and found a book about the distribution of forces in Taihao Chaos.
After summoning Zhou Mei’er to exchange for it, Su Yuan checked the relevant information.
It did not take long for Su Yuan to discover that the entire Chaos had already been divided up.
Almost every patch of Chaos territory had been occupied by various Dao Courts.
Dao Venerables who had not joined a Dao Court would face restrictions when trying to comprehend Dao Principles.
“Tsk tsk, seems being too developed has its downsides, cultivation resources get limited!”
If Su Yuan had returned to Primordial Chaos or Seven Stars Chaos, he would not have to worry about someone else contending for control of Dao Principles, but he now had little faith in Primordial Chaos or Seven Stars Chaos. He felt that attempting to breakthrough into a Chaos Dominator there would be courting death.
So he decided to cultivate and breakthrough here in Taihao Chaos.
That meant he needed to find a force to join.
He immediately asked Zhou Mei’er about it.
“What order Dao Venerable is the Dao Lord of the Miluo Dao Court?” Su Yuan asked.
Zhou Mei’er was taken aback; she hadn’t expected Su Yuan to ask so bluntly.
“The Dao Lord of our Miluo Dao Court is a seventeenth-order Dao Venerable. His strength is extraordinary. May I ask why you inquire, Senior?”
Su Yuan answered calmly, “I’m a wanderer. I plan to join a force now. I’ve come to the Miluo Market and feel some affinity with the Miluo Dao Court, so I intend to join. Please help introduce me.”
Zhou Mei’er’s expression changed. She immediately said, “Senior, please wait. I will contact the Dao Court right now!”
“All right.”
Su Yuan nodded.
Zhou Mei’er hurried away and soon reached the very center of the Miluo Market, where she met the person in charge, an elder of the Dao Court who had reached Dao Venerable level.
“Elder Wu, a Dao Venerable wants to join our Dao Court!” Zhou Mei’er reported quickly.
“Oh?” Elder Wu, outwardly appearing as an old man, showed surprise at the news.
Dao Venerables are usually nurtured within a force. A Dao Venerable joining another force typically happens after their original force was destroyed; only those scattered survivors would join midstream, but he hadn’t heard of any recent force being destroyed.
“Bring me there!”
Elder Wu said decisively.
“Yes!”
Zhou Mei’er immediately led Elder Wu to the Myriad Dao Tower.
At the first glance, Elder Wu felt a shock in his heart!
He could not sense Su Yuan’s cultivation level!
“Fellow Dao, I am Wu Fengzi, a Dao Venerable elder of the Miluo Dao Court. I heard you wish to join our Dao Court?”
“Yes.” Su Yuan nodded.
“May I ask which order Dao Venerable you are?”
“Eleventh-order!” Su Yuan answered directly.
“Huh!”
Wu Fengzi inhaled sharply, then said immediately, “Good, good, no problem. I will take you to the Dao Court to meet the Dao Lord and discuss the details of joining, how about that?”
“That’s fine.”
Su Yuan nodded.
Wu Fengzi was elated. An eleventh-order Dao Venerable was already a top-tier figure in Chaos; having one join would greatly enhance a force’s heritage. No need to ask more, just bring him back to the Dao Court.
As they left the Myriad Dao Tower, Su Yuan saw Wang Ming.
“If you’re willing, you can run errands for me from now on,” Su Yuan asked Wang Ming.
He rather admired Wang Ming’s character. Even after Su Yuan had struck him—merely a misunderstanding—Wang Ming had offered large compensation. Such character earned Su Yuan’s respect, though his aptitude was indeed weaker and unlikely to reach Dao Venerable.
“I’m willing! I’m willing!” Wang Ming exclaimed in joy. “I’ll tell the caravan and join you!”
“All right.”
Su Yuan nodded.
Wang Ming immediately sent a remote message to the caravan’s Steward Li: “Steward Li, I won’t be a guard anymore. According to the contract, I’ll forgo the guard’s pay. I apologize!”
Steward Li aboard the Eternal Flying Ship was momentarily stunned: “What’s wrong? Did some accident happen?”
“I’m following someone else to develop, haha. See you if fate allows!”
Wang Ming didn’t say more; a brief notice was enough. He departed the Eternal Flying Ship when it docked at the market—this was a normal departure and normally he would receive pay, but Wang Ming had no interest in the reward now and immediately followed behind Su Yuan.
Elder Wu then took the two of them and used the Dao Court’s super teleportation array, instantly traversing countless space-times, heading for the Miluo Dao Court headquarters.
