Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” - Chapter 555: Yuanhao's Resurrection

Within the Miluo Heavenly Palace, Gu Qingzhu split his consciousness into thousands of threads, handling the administrative affairs of the Dao Court.

Suddenly, he seemed to sense something and raised his head.

Then, he saw Su Yuan.

“Patriarch?”

Gu Qingzhu wondered if he was hallucinating.

“Mm.” Su Yuan nodded.

“You’ve emerged from seclusion, Elder?” Gu Qingzhu asked with pleasant surprise.

“What is it?” Su Yuan said indifferently.

Gu Qingzhu took a deep breath and began to pour out his grievances. “Patriarch, our Dao Court has suffered greatly! We’ve been targeted by many forces, especially that Taihao Holy Hall. They’ve sent powerful experts to destroy many of our Dao Court’s outposts! Our losses have been severe!”

Hearing this, Su Yuan raised an eyebrow. “Oh? And you’re still holding on?”

“In terms of high-end combat power, we’re barely managing. The Miluo Venerable broke through, becoming an Eighteenth Tier Dao Venerable, his strength squeezing into the forefront of the Chaos. However, our mid-tier Dao Venerable level is far weaker; the declining trend is obvious!”

Gu Qingzhu said with distress.

He couldn’t help but voice his worry. “Also, that Venerable Yuanhao from the Taihao Holy Hall hasn’t made a move yet. Once he acts, our situation will be perilous!”

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan waved his hand dismissively. “A trivial matter!”

Gu Qingzhu was stunned upon hearing this. Triv… trivial? That’s Venerable Yuanhao, the number one figure beneath the Chaos Dominators!

The Guardian Spirit Little Star emerged at this moment.

“Seven Stars, don’t underestimate that Venerable Yuanhao. He is a disciple of the Taihao Dominator. His strength and foundation are unfathomably deep!” Little Star said gravely.

Su Yuan chuckled lightly. “He’s already been killed by me.”

Gu Qingzhu and the Guardian Spirit Little Star were both stunned simultaneously.

Gu Qingzhu stared dumbfounded. “Patriarch, you’re not joking, are you?”

“What do you think?” Su Yuan replied with a faint smile.

“No wonder, no wonder!” Gu Qingzhu muttered to himself.

He had been wondering why the Taihao Holy Hall would target their Seven Stars Dao Court. So the root cause was here!

Su Yuan was also somewhat surprised. Had the Taihao Holy Hall finally discovered the anomaly of his disguise?

But that was no longer important.

Gu Qingzhu let out a soft sigh but still voiced his concern. “Patriarch, the Taihao Holy Hall is coming with overwhelming force, having allied with many other forces to invade together. The current situation is not optimistic!”

Su Yuan laughed heartily. “Don’t worry. The Taihao Holy Hall will withdraw their troops.”

“How is that possible?”

Gu Qingzhu naturally didn’t believe it.

However, right at that moment, the Guardian Spirit Little Star exclaimed in surprise, “Important intelligence just came from the front lines! The forces from the various factions have all retreated. Especially the Taihao Holy Hall’s various super fortresses and strongholds have all been evacuated!”

“What’s going on?” Gu Qingzhu was taken aback.

The Guardian Spirit looked strangely at Su Yuan, its tone filled with awe. “According to messages from our spies, the higher-ups have passed down information: The master of the Seven Stars Dao Court, Venerable Seven Stars, has ascended to Chaos Dominator. All attack plans are canceled immediately. Withdraw from the vicinity of the Seven Stars Dao Court at once.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingzhu’s eyes nearly popped out of his head!

He looked at Su Yuan, then directly rushed towards him, dropping to his knees and hugging Su Yuan’s leg.

“Patriarch Su, you’ve truly broken through to Chaos Dominator??” Gu Qingzhu looked up, his eyes filled with reverence.

Su Yuan kicked out, sending Gu Qingzhu flying hundreds of meters away!

“Get lost! A grown man, what kind of behavior is that?”

After scolding him, Su Yuan said in a calm tone, “I was fortunate to break through to Chaos Dominator. Immediately begin preparations for the Dominator celebration. Send invitations to all forces in the entire Chaos at the Dao Venerable level and above. The grand ceremony will be held one Yuan Assembly from now.”

Gu Qingzhu immediately straightened his expression. “This disciple understands! I will go and make arrangements at once!”

Su Yuan seemed to think of something. With a thought, a figure materialized out of thin air before him.

Venerable Yuanhao opened his eyes. Seeing Su Yuan, he was immediately terrified. He panicked and wanted to flee this place, but was shocked to find his body completely empty, his magical power nonexistent!

Gu Qingzhu exclaimed in surprise, “Venerable Yuanhao?”

“You… what do you want to do?” Venerable Yuanhao looked at Su Yuan with fear.

Su Yuan said gently, “This Sovereign has broken through to Chaos Dominator. The Taixuan Dominator pleaded on your behalf to resurrect you. Now you can return!”

With that, he waved his hand, causing Venerable Yuanhao to vanish.

In the blink of an eye.

Venerable Yuanhao felt himself passing through layer upon layer of time and space. When he reappeared, he was already back inside the Taihao Holy Hall.

Immediately, Venerable Yuanhao felt a murderous aura envelop him!

Sensing a familiar presence, he quickly said, “Stop! It’s me!”

The Guardian Spirit Little Hao stopped its action, asking suspiciously, “You are Yuanhao? You’re still alive? What happened to your cultivation?”

“Yes! It’s me!” Venerable Yuanhao took a deep breath. “I was killed by Venerable Seven… the Dominator. He just resurrected me.”

The Guardian Spirit Little Hao seemed to understand something. “So it really was that person disguised? How despicable!”

“What happened?” Venerable Yuanhao asked.

“That person… disguised as your appearance and plundered the Holy Hall’s treasury clean!” the Guardian Spirit said with a mournful tone.

The corner of Venerable Yuanhao’s mouth twitched. He thought of that treasure he had lost. The other party probably used that very treasure to convert all the treasury resources into Chaos Jade Marrow, and only then broke through to the Dominator realm!

At that moment, a will descended.

Venerable Yuanhao looked up and saw a majestic figure.

Yuanhao’s expression changed. He immediately said respectfully, “Yuanhao pays respects to Uncle-Master Taiji! Thank you, Uncle-Master, for your assistance, allowing me to be resurrected and return!”

The Taiji Dominator looked at him and nodded. “It seems you already know. Although your cultivation hasn’t directly recovered, this is also an opportunity to reexamine your past. You weren’t far from the Chaos Dominator realm originally. I hope you can comprehend the true meaning from this tribulation!”

“Yes!” Yuanhao took a deep breath and said seriously.

The Taiji Dominator waved his hand. Countless treasures fell from the sky, flying into the Holy Hall’s treasury.

“These resources are entrusted to you. Recover as soon as possible! One Yuan Assembly from now, I will take you to the Seven Stars Dao Court to attend the Dominator Grand Ceremony. By then, you must at least restore yourself to the quasi-Dominator realm. We cannot lose face.”

“Understood!”

“Mm.”

The Taixuan Dominator nodded, and his figure dissipated like a bubble.

The Guardian Spirit exclaimed joyfully, “Haha! The originally empty treasury is now completely refilled! It’s even more abundant than before! Hall Master Yuanhao, you’ve hit the jackpot!”

Yuanhao felt bitter inside. These treasures were unimportant. What he had lost was a Chaos Dominator Artifact! He didn’t even dare tell the Taixuan Dominator about this matter, otherwise he might be killed by the Taixuan Dominator in a fit of rage.

If he wanted to reclaim that treasure now, he could only rely on himself breaking through to Chaos Dominator first, then seizing it back.

Venerable Yuanhao stopped dwelling on it. He entered the Holy Hall’s Great Time Realm and, utilizing its immense time flow rate, rapidly restored his realm.

After cultivating for countless Yuan Assemblies within the Great Time Realm, Venerable Yuanhao once again stepped into the quasi-Dominator realm!

He reopened a Little Chaos. This time, the growth of his Little Chaos was even more perfect, each step reaching a flawless degree. Twenty-Four Heavens constructed the Chaos system, his comprehension of Chaos True Intent advanced a step further, bringing him closer to the Chaos Dominator realm.

But this final step still blocked Venerable Yuanhao, preventing him from truly breaking through to Chaos Dominator.

Venerable Yuanhao let out a deep sigh. Finally, he said in a heavy voice, “It seems the only option left is to use the final method!”
