Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” - Chapter 556: Another Taihao Chaos

Venerable Yuanhao kept advancing deep within the Taihao Holy Hall until he arrived at a secret location.

This place was extremely special, with only a super massive altar existing there.

Venerable Yuanhao arrived here and gazed deeply at the center of the altar.

A single strand of hair was suspended there.

“Master, where exactly have you gone? Does your Chaos truly conceal some great opportunity? Or perhaps a great danger?”

Yuanhao understood that the so-called Taihao Chaos of today was not the Chaos truly opened up by the Taihao Dominator. It was named Taihao simply because the first to break through to the Dominator realm in this Chaos was the Taihao Dominator, so his Dao title was used to name the Chaos.

The Taihao Dominator himself had opened up his own Chaos!

The altar before him was the Nothingness Teleportation Array left by the Taihao Dominator, capable of teleporting to the location of the Taihao Dominator’s own life-bound Chaos.

This place was unknown to anyone, not even the Guardian Spirit knew of it.

However, he did not know if his Martial Uncle Taixuan was aware of this place, but it was highly likely he did not.

At this moment, Su Yuan, far away in the Seven Stars Dao Court, revealed a look of surprise on his face.

Forget about that Taixuan Dominator, even Su Yuan had actually failed to find this place in Venerable Yuanhao’s memories!

He was greatly surprised by Yuanhao’s current actions.

To resurrect Venerable Yuanhao, Su Yuan had still used the incarnation effect of [Mental Echo] to complete it. In other words, Yuanhao was now essentially an incarnation of Su Yuan.

Su Yuan had merely returned control to Yuanhao.

Therefore, all of Yuanhao’s current operations were happening right under his watch.

In theory, everything about Venerable Yuanhao should be known to Su Yuan, but he hadn’t expected Venerable Yuanhao to give him another unexpected discovery.

Venerable Yuanhao was unaware that Su Yuan was secretly observing him.

He took a deep breath and stepped onto the altar.

Then, using a special secret method and his own blood, he activated the altar beneath his feet.

As the strand of hair suspended in mid-air began to burn.

A profound and deep force of time and space tearing acted upon Venerable Yuanhao’s body.

Venerable Yuanhao instantly vanished from the altar.

Su Yuan focused his spirit to observe, waiting for the mental response from Venerable Yuanhao.

An unknown amount of time passed.

Or perhaps time did not exist within nothingness.

A streak of light shot out from the Taihao Chaos, then traversed through the nothingness, crossing endless distances before rushing into another Chaos.

Yuanhao regained perception of the outside world and opened his eyes.

What met his eyes was a scene of ruins and broken walls. Massive buildings and towers lay collapsed in heaps, looking like a complete wasteland.

Yuanhao stared at all this in shock, his consciousness probing into the distance.

He could see that the distance was still filled with shattered buildings, some places even turned into charcoal and deep pits.

The sky was filled with a faint gray mist, blocking out the light.

Yuanhao frowned, looking down at the broken altar beneath his feet, which was missing three corners.

He realized he couldn’t go back; this was actually a one-way ticket.

At that moment, some gray mist spread to his side.

An unimaginable corrosive power immediately began to corrode the skin on his body’s surface.

Venerable Yuanhao immediately activated the armor defense on his body’s surface, erecting a layer of golden light.

The gray mist continued to consume the golden light defense, and the magical power within his body was depleting at an extremely rapid rate.

“Is this within Master’s Chaos? How could it be such a bleak and decaying scene?”

Venerable Yuanhao’s heart grew heavy. He had a premonition that something had happened to his master, but now it seemed the problem was even more serious than he had imagined.

He began searching through the ruins, looking for traces of treasures.

And at the same time.

Just as Venerable Yuanhao entered the ruins.

Su Yuan finally, through [Mental Echo], locked onto Venerable Yuanhao’s location.

Su Yuan’s true body stepped into the nothingness and, with a few strides, arrived outside this Chaos.

Su Yuan was surprised to see that this Chaos actually presented an irregular shape, like a complete spherical cake that had been bitten several times by a beast, becoming grotesque.

Fortunately, the Chaos Barrier had already re-condensed, but those gaps had not recovered.

What exactly had happened here? A Chaos had actually become so devastated.

Su Yuan pondered for a moment and did not directly barge into the Chaos. Instead, he stepped into it through [World Traveler].

When Su Yuan arrived in this Chaos, he unexpectedly discovered that he could not sense the location of the Chaos Origin.

The Chaos Origin seemed to be concealed by something, completely unfindable.

Su Yuan now also appeared within that expanse of ruins.

He was also very curious if there were any good things here.

With a thought from Su Yuan, his body split off a large number of avatars, flying off in all directions.

One by one, the avatars entered the ruins to search.

Then, one after another, treasures—some broken, some intact, some malfunctioning—flew out from the ruins and fell into Su Yuan’s hands.

Su Yuan toyed with a broken sword.

“It’s actually a fragment of a twenty-eighth-order Fused Dao Treasure!”

This meant that within this Chaos, a twenty-eighth-order Dao Venerable had been born before.

He now understood the difference between breaking through to Chaos Dominator at different orders.

The moment one breaks through to Chaos Dominator, the number of Dao Principles that form the Fused Dao Principle becomes the Dominator’s most initial Origin Dao Principle, the foundation of their own Great Dao.

The higher the order, the lower the difficulty of comprehending Chaos True Intent, and simultaneously, the stronger the combat power that can be unleashed!

Therefore, at the Dao Venerable level, trying to increase one’s order as much as possible is very important.

But this must definitely be done within one’s capabilities. The higher the order, the greater the difficulty of fusion, and the lower the possibility of breaking through to Chaos Dominator.

A twenty-eighth-order Dao Venerable is extremely rare.

Su Yuan searched again and soon found several more fragments of twenty-something-order Fused Dao Treasures.

The surprise in Su Yuan’s heart grew stronger and stronger. These were twenty-something-order Dao Venerables, and he could find several so easily. The development of this Taihao’s life-bound Chaos was simply too good!

One of his avatars flipped over a stone ancient book, which actually recorded some content.

[…The Unknown descended. The Taihao Progenitor looked up and roared wildly: Error? Eradication? Hahaha! After the laughter, the Progenitor flew away, his whereabouts unknown! Later, monsters descended, wantonly slaughtering the myriad beings! A terrifying catastrophe sweeping through the Chaos descended…]

Su Yuan looked at the content written on one page of the book, frowning, very puzzled by the record above.

“The Unknown descended? Why use ‘Unknown’ to describe it?”
