Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” - Chapter 699: Su Yuan Breaks Through
Inside Su Yuan.
Five True Name Stars shone brilliantly; each had been taken over by the True Spirit’s will.
They respectively represented Void Venerable, the First, Second, and Third Void Speakers, and Jiu Han — five Seventy-second-order Dominators.
They had already become part of Su Yuan; their individual wills would gradually fade, withdrawing completely from the stage of Nothingness.
These five True Name Stars gave him the equivalent effect of five hundred True Name Stars of the same rank, producing a very obvious boost to Su Yuan’s Dao advancement. The bottleneck that had just reached the Seventy-second-order had loosened.
With a bit more cultivation time, breaking through Seventy-two would be a natural consequence.
On top of that, the spectacle he had staged had effectively blown up the Second Frontline, the Third Frontline, and the Nothingness faction.
For all living beings striving forward, it was revolutionary!
For Chaos Dominators, Void Venerable’s feat reversed the deficit in front-line elite forces and completely snuffed out the seeds of rebellion. He achieved a monumental merit, single-handedly toying with the world, his fame spreading across the firmament.
For Nothingness Dominators, the fall of four Speakers inflicted painful grief and plunged morale into a deep slump.
As a result, Su Yuan harvested an explosive surge of Fame Points. The True Name Stars inside him not only increased in number, their brightness rose markedly.
Under this accumulation,
the loosened bottleneck was shattered by the massive feedback of fame!
Su Yuan effortlessly rose to the Seventy-third-order level!
At first Su Yuan felt pleased, but the instant he broke through, a tremendously strong teleportation force enveloped him.
Su Yuan’s expression changed.
He immediately received a message: those above Seventy-two must go to the First Frontline within ten thousand years!
This information appeared directly in his mind.
It seemed to lock onto his will itself.
Su Yuan immediately used the World Traveler trait to begin darting through place after place, but whether the Second Frontline, the Third Frontline, or the broader Nothingness regions, no matter where he went, that teleportation force could lock onto him, leaving him no chance to evade!
Su Yuan finally tried entering the Nine Stars Land.
The next moment, the teleportation force that had been shrouding him vanished.
The Nine Stars Land had actually avoided the lock of that teleportation force.
Su Yuan was overjoyed.
“The Nine Stars Land has integrated far too many traits; almost all trait effects are active within it. I don’t know which traits did this, but it’s undoubtedly good news!”
Su Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, all his Avatars and Incarnations were recalled back into the Nine Stars Land.
Then Su Yuan thought for a moment and split off another Avatar.
The teleportation force again enveloped the Avatar, and Su Yuan had the feeling that if the Avatar were pulled away, his true self would be taken along as well!
Moreover, the teleportation force did not reset its timer; it continued counting from before.
Su Yuan frowned, “What kind of existence is able to do something so defiant of the heavens?”
He sighed and rubbed his brow, sensing he still needed to strengthen his traits.
Since obtaining Dominator of Will, Dominator of Artifacts, Life Dominator, Dominator of Force, and Dominator of Space,
he had not drawn a new trait for a long time.
At first he had thought that was enough.
But now he realized it still came up short.
Su Yuan checked his savings.
Fame Points: 123 mixed-void units (one mixed-void unit equals ten trillion Kalpa units)
Chaos Jade: 8,009,989 mixed-void units
Su Yuan’s holdings were still considerable. Having contributed trillions of Dominator Artifacts, even at ultra-low prices, had netted huge sums; combined with other income, it had accumulated to eight million mixed-void units.
A mixed-void unit refers to the time a Chaos can self-annihilate inside Nothingness.
Chaos also evaporates; if a Chaos Dominator becomes complacent and sinks into endless sleep, the Chaos they preside over, unable to exert influence, can at most sustain for ten trillion Kalpa units of time.
Although Su Yuan controlled such wealth, he was stingy about spending on drawing traits.
Rather than drawing new traits, he decided to upgrade existing ones.
Thinking this, he chose to enhance a trait.
“Ding, Chaos trait Mental Echo consumes 100 mixed-void units, upgraded to Mental Dominator!”
A single sentence flashed through Su Yuan’s mind.
As expected, the later stages consumed outrageously large resources.
When the Mental Echo trait rose to the Dominator-level Mental Dominator,
in an instant, more and thicker mental threads manifested before Su Yuan.
He even saw a completely unfamiliar mental thread.
This thread was pale red in color — a hostile hue.
Su Yuan moved his intent, and his consciousness linked to that mental thread.
His mind instantly spanned endless space and arrived in an entirely new realm.
Su Yuan’s awareness wavered, and he discovered the surrounding scene had changed.
An elder, whose aura was godlike and demonic, sat cross-legged before a pill furnace, occasionally performing hand seals into it.
This fellow seemed to be refining pills.
By using the Power of Fame, Su Yuan obtained the other party’s identity.
Name: Changsun Xuzhu
Rank: Ninety-second-order Nothingness Dominator
Path: Nothingness Pill Dao
Honorific: Soul-devouring Pill Demon
Faction: Nothingness Prison
Beside the elder, a young man watched the furnace eagerly, exclaiming with joy, “Master, is it going to produce another batch of Void Mixed Spirit Pills?”
The elder smiled faintly, “Within ten thousand years, once the new primary ingredient arrives, you’ll be able to refine your pills. Then you can patch up your foundation.”
The youth nodded excitedly.
Su Yuan could see that the pale red mental thread was connected to the youth.
Su Yuan’s gaze fell on the youth.
Name: Changsun Jiliang
Rank: Sixty-fourth-order Nothingness Dominator
Path: Chaos Devouring Dao
Faction: Nothingness Prison
This made Su Yuan raise an eyebrow — what exactly was going on?
The Mental Dominator ability activated again. Now this trait could not only observe current mental fluctuations in the present space-time, but also perceive past and future mental states.
Su Yuan moved his mind and immediately traversed time and space forward.
In his vision, the youth walked backwards out of the hall and came to a prison.
One could see cell after cell, imprisoning Chaos Dominators or Nothingness Dominators, while some cells were empty.
Coincidentally, at this moment an empty cell received an excited transmission, and a figure teleported in, then stared at the prison’s seal in astonishment.
“Isn’t this the First Frontline? Why am I locked up here?”
The man shouted, then shockingly discovered his power had slipped away from him!
His Seventy-third-order strength was sealed tight by the prison’s array.
The youth glanced over and, seeing that it had been reserved by another senior brother, shook his head and walked away.
“Let me out, let me out now!” the man shouted to Changsun Jiliang.
Changsun Jiliang snorted disdainfully, walked to one of the cells, and looked with expectation at the teleportation light already glowing in the cell’s center, smiling, “My primary ingredient will arrive soon too!”
