Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” - Chapter 520: The Chaos Overlord Appears!

At this moment.

Outside the Nine Stars Land.

An old man with an ordinary appearance appeared at the entrance to the Nine Stars Land.

The old man’s face was weathered with time, yet it carried a childlike smile.

“Chaos has opened up another time and space? Let’s see if there’s anything interesting!”

The old man took a single step forward, directly passing through the checkpoints set up by some Dao Courts at the entrance, and entered the interior of the Nine Stars Land.

Throughout the process, none of the powerful beings within the checkpoints detected the old man’s passage.

Upon entering the interior of the Nine Stars Land, the old man took one glance and saw completely through the entire place.

“Huh, this new time and space is quite interesting.”

The old man materialized out of thin air outside the Nine Extreme Treasure Star, examining it up and down.

He discovered that the Dao Principles here had formed an extremely special treasure-hunting location, giving him a sense that it was artificially designed.

The old man carefully examined it for a while but could not find even a trace of an old acquaintance’s handiwork. It seemed like a treasure land that had evolved naturally from Chaos itself.

The old man shook his head: “This isn’t my Chaos anyway, why should I care about this?”

A thought crossed his mind. With a wave of his hand, he scattered countless treasures, integrating them into the nine Treasure Stars. Among these treasures were some that were, astonishingly, Eighteenth-order Fused Dao Treasures.

After placing the treasures, he specifically modified and reinforced the Nine Extreme Treasure Star, adding numerous restrictions and special secret areas to it. He even condensed an independent will of heaven and earth for the Nine Extreme Treasure Star to oversee its entire operation.

After finishing the creation, the old man split off nine avatars, which descended onto the nine Treasure Stars. Then, he smacked his own forehead, sealed away part of his memories, suppressed his own power to the eighteenth-order level, and joined the treasure hunt.

Seeing this, the old man thought for a moment and then contacted his old acquaintances.

Thus, not long after.

Two more cultivators with ordinary auras arrived.

“Hehe, Wuyazi, Stone Man, do you want to come play?” the old man asked with a chuckle.

Wuyazi said calmly, “Che Chi Old Man, your temperament is far too mischievous!”

“Play or not?” the old man asked.

“Fine!”

Wuyazi said calmly.

The Stone Dominator was speechless but also nodded, saying, “Agreed!”

“You two should also throw some opportunities in there!”

Che Chi Old Man said.

Wuyazi and the Stone Dominator waved their hands and tossed some resources into the Nine Extreme Treasure Star. They even reinforced the Nine Extreme Treasure Star, making it even more mysterious and extraordinary.

Afterwards, the two also each split off nine avatars, sealed their memories, and entered one of the stars respectively.

Che Chi Old Man said with satisfaction, “We’ll decide victory based on the quantity and quality of treasures obtained. The loser just has to give the winner one hundred thousand pieces of Chaos Jade!”

“Such a big bet?” Wuyazi raised an eyebrow.

“What, are you scared? Your disciple Wudaizi is also inside. You have the better conditions, if you think about it!” Che Chi Old Man said.

“I hope you still have enough money left to pay up!” Wuyazi said lightly.

“Can I withdraw?” the Stone Dominator asked.

“No!” *2

Che Chi Old Man and Wuyazi said simultaneously.

The Stone Dominator frowned. He had a feeling he was being set up.

With the three-person bet settled, the three then disappeared, letting their avatars hunt for treasures on their own.

Inside the Nine Extreme Treasure Star.

Su Yuan suddenly froze.

He abruptly discovered that his control over the Nine Extreme Treasure Star had instantly dropped by fifty percent, as if a super-powerful being had suddenly snatched away half of his authority.

Just as he was puzzled.

He suddenly felt his authority being reduced twice more, until finally, only a quarter of his original authority remained!

Fortunately, it was only the Nine Extreme Treasure Star that had problems. His control over the Nine Stars Land itself was completely unaffected!

“What happened?”

Su Yuan immediately became vigilant.

Vaguely, he sensed something was off.

“Hey, a treasure has appeared up ahead!”

Miluo Dao Lord reminded him.

Su Yuan was startled and looked into the distance. Indeed, on the mountainside of a peak, a treasure had appeared.

But Su Yuan could confirm that this treasure was not one he had stored inside the Nine Extreme Treasure Star. Who put it there?

In an instant, countless thoughts raced through Su Yuan’s mind. Finally, he guessed a bit of the truth.

A Chaos Dominator had tampered with the Nine Extreme Treasure Star!

He immediately checked the situation of the Nine Stars Land.

As the controller, Su Yuan did not mobilize other forces to investigate. Instead, he directly used his tag abilities to perform a search.

Soon, he saw the scene that had occurred outside the Nine Extreme Treasure Star a few moments ago.

Three unfamiliar powerful beings had appeared one after another. They had each thrown treasures into the Nine Extreme Treasure Star and also tossed their own avatars into the Treasure Star.

Finally, the three powerful beings left, and everything returned to calm.

But Su Yuan’s heart was anything but calm.

Chaos Dominators!

He had seen living Chaos Dominators!

He had imagined many scenarios of encountering Chaos Dominators, but he absolutely never expected that Chaos Dominators would take an interest in the “Transaction Platform” he had set up.

“What are you thinking about?” Miluo Dao Lord reminded him, “Do you want this treasure?”

Su Yuan snapped back to reality and looked over there. The treasure that had appeared on the mountainside was, astonishingly, a Twelfth-order Fused Dao Treasure.

“I don’t need it!” Su Yuan shook his head calmly.

Miluo Dao Lord nodded: “Then I’ll take it. It can be kept as part of the Dao Court’s foundation.”

She landed in front of the treasure out of thin air and then tossed out a treasure of her own, merging it into the earth.

The speed at which the treasure emerged immediately accelerated.

But Su Yuan’s attention was focused on the treasures that had merged into the earth.

An idea rose in Su Yuan’s mind. His will immediately mobilized the authority he still held within the Nine Extreme Treasure Star. He adjusted all his remaining authority to focus on determining the handling of these sacrificial treasures.

He gave up the authority to interfere with the treasure’s emergence and instead locked his authority solely onto reclaiming the treasures.

Thus, in his perception, he clearly sensed the reclamation space inside the Nine Extreme Treasure Star. The number of treasures accumulated there had suddenly increased by a large amount.

With a thought, he used his authority to transfer these treasures one by one into his own independent space.

Those three Chaos Dominators didn’t seem to care about the final destination of these sacrificial treasures at all, which gave Su Yuan a great opportunity to take advantage.

For Su Yuan, these treasures could be reprocessed into valuable treasures, which could then be exchanged for Dao Yan Crystals. With those, he could condense more Chaos Jade for cultivation and advancement.

Right from the start, he had become the ultimate winner of this activity, even though Su Yuan still didn’t know what this activity was or what its purpose was.

None of that mattered anymore!
