Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” - Chapter 501: An Initial Exploration of Independent Spacetime

In the boundless Chaos.

Vast amounts of Chaotic Energy continuously flow in irregular patterns.

A group of forty-one people was rapidly traversing through the Chaos.

When Su Yuan stopped, everyone began surveying their surroundings, searching for any differences nearby.

Unfortunately, despite being Dao Venerables, they looked for a long time but couldn’t detect the slightest abnormality.

Su Yuan pointed at a stone about the height of a person, drifting amidst the Chaotic Energy, and said, “The entrance is inside this stone!”

Everyone gathered around, looking at this stone with faces full of astonishment.

“The entrance to an independent space-time is hidden inside this stone?” The Soul-Constraining Dao Venerable exclaimed in shock, “It’s far too ordinary.”

Su Yuan smiled. He had originally just casually chosen a stone to open the entrance, so naturally, it was ordinary.

“Follow me!”

Su Yuan transformed into a ray of light, directly piercing into the center of the stone.

The other Dao Venerables naturally also transformed into light and shadow, entering the stone.

When they reached the center of the stone, it felt as if they had passed through a membrane of time and space.

Upon reappearing, they had arrived in a brand-new world.

Countless dazzling starlight traversed the heavens and earth; they seemed to have arrived at an ocean of light. In the distance, they could see stars emitting various colored glows, and even massive celestial bodies radiating fluctuations of specific Dao Principles.

Dao Venerable Niro said joyfully, “This independent space-time is actually of the resource type!”

Independent space-times are categorized into several types: forbidden land, perilous land, blessed land, resource, and void types. Among these, the resource type is naturally one of the best kinds.

“Moreover, it’s also of the blessed land type, beneficial for cultivation!” Dao Venerable Ji Ning pointed at the peculiar celestial bodies in the distance that were emitting fluctuations of certain Dao Principles.

“We’ve struck it rich, we’ve struck it rich! Our Miluo Dao Court is going to prosper!” The Soul-Constraining Dao Venerable also laughed heartily.

However, Su Li, looking at this place, felt a sense of déjà vu.

Exchanging glances with Su Qian and Su Yuan (Abyss), they all showed understanding and tactfully didn’t say anything more.

Su Yuan addressed the group, saying, “I don’t know much about the situation here, but I did gain control of a Dao Principle through this place, which confirmed it’s an independent space-time. What specific resources, blessed lands, or even dangers exist here still requires detailed exploration later. We must not be careless!”

The Soul-Constraining Dao Venerable laughed, “Haha, Seven Stars Dao Sovereign, we understand this matter. The credit for this discovery is mostly yours alone. Leave the remaining tasks for us to handle!”

With a wave of his hand, the Dao Court disciples stored within his spatial treasure were summoned, numbering ten billion, all cultivators at the Wuji Realm or above!

The other Dao Venerables also released their subordinates, their numbers also extremely vast.

And Su Yuan released the subordinates from the Seven Stars Dao Palace.

Su Yuan said, “Then I will be responsible for establishing a base, setting up a spatial teleportation array, and establishing a connection with the Dao Court as soon as possible!”

“Good!” The Soul-Constraining Dao Venerable nodded very compliantly.

Thus, Su Yuan and his disciples, a total of eleven Dao Venerables, remained at the original location.

Thirty Dao Venerables, led by the Soul-Constraining, Ji Ning, and Niro, split into three major directions to explore this independent space-time.

The operation commenced very quickly.

Tens of billions of cultivators rapidly dispersed, swiftly exploring and occupying territories one after another.

Using a grand technique, Su Yuan condensed the phantom of a massive city out of thin air. It looked extremely illusory, without substance.

However, the phantom erupted with a suction force, madly devouring the surrounding starlight. The edges of the city gradually became solid.

This was Su Yuan’s technique—turning the illusory into the real!

Su Yuan looked at everyone and said, “The base needs to be constructed using materials from this independent space-time. All of you, disperse and collect materials from various locations, then throw them into the city phantom. It will automatically refine the various materials and take shape. Su Li, Su Qian, Yin Xing… each of you lead a team to build this city!”

“Yes!”

The ten Dao Venerable disciples and subordinates accepted the order, leading the disciples belonging to the Dao Palace to search the surrounding areas for materials to fill the city.

Su Yuan stood in place, sensing the amplification effect of the [Tear of Eternity].

The forty Dao Venerables, plus the hundreds of billions of cultivators, superimposed upon him, had elevated the power added to him to the level of a Twelfth-Order Fusion Dao Venerable!

Coupled with his own combat power equivalent to a Twelfth-Order Fusion Dao Venerable, he was powerful enough to contend with a Thirteenth-Order Fusion Dao Venerable.

With a thought from Su Yuan, a figure appeared out of thin air before him.

It was a Heaven-Devouring Fish, the true form of Little Cai.

Little Cai was slightly startled, then transformed into her human shape.

By now, Little Cai had matured into the form of a beautiful woman, appearing extremely lovely and vibrant.

“Master!”

Little Cai looked around, and seeing no one else, immediately hugged Su Yuan’s arm, affectionately nuzzling against him.

Su Yuan ruffled Little Cai’s hair, smiling and scolding, “How old are you now, still so clingy!”

“Mhm, mhm!” Little Cai just mumbled twice.

Su Yuan checked Little Cai’s comprehension progress. At this point, she still had a considerable distance to go before mastering the Calamity Dao Principle.

Little Cai loved to play, and her dedication to cultivation was far less than Su Li and the others, which left Su Yuan feeling helpless.

“Little Cai, I have a task for you!” Su Yuan said.

Little Cai immediately patted her chest, “Master, what do you need? Leave it all to me, I can handle anything!”

Her face was full of confidence.

“Good. This is the Nine Stars Land. I’ve slightly modified the arrangements inside. Your task is to cause trouble for those who enter here, bring them calamities, just don’t let them live too comfortably!” Su Yuan said calmly.

Hearing this, Little Cai felt a bit uneasy, “Then, how strong are they?”

“There are Dao Venerables, the strongest being Eleventh-Order! And that’s just for now. After some time, I estimate more Dao Venerables will come!” Su Yuan said with a smile.

“Ah~!”

Little Cai stuck out her tongue, “I’m only at the peak of the Dao Yan Realm, how can I fight these people!”

“Don’t worry, I’ll lend you power. You can easily handle them!”

With a thought from Su Yuan, the amplification effect of the [Tear of Eternity] was transferred onto Little Cai.

Little Cai immediately felt her power surge by billions of times!

Her perception instantly expanded tens of millions of times; she saw a much vaster world!

With this power bestowed upon her, even though it didn’t belong to her, she was still utterly shocked that she could wield such immense force!

Her will itself couldn’t precisely control this power, but even with rough manipulation, a casual slap could annihilate trillions of her former selves!

“So, feeling confident now?” Su Yuan asked with a chuckle.

Little Cai snapped back to reality, trying hard to calm the fluctuations of her power, then said excitedly, “Don’t worry, Master! I’m familiar with this kind of thing. I’ll definitely make them experience heaven and hell!”
