Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard”

“I established the Primordial Isle to provide opportunities for all living beings. Since you have been able to come inside the Primordial Isle, you are fated individuals.”

Su Yuan paused, looked at everyone, and said with a calm expression, “However, each of you has affiliations with forces outside the island. Joining the Primordial Isle means abandoning your past identities. Are you willing to do this?”

Everyone exchanged glances;

they had long been prepared for this point.

Before entering the interior of the Primordial Isle, they and the forces behind them had speculated about subsequent changes, with the expert’s dao field being one of them.

If there was a chance to break through to the Hunyuan realm, they had no objection to abandoning their original factions, especially since this was done with the permission of their original forces.

Zhuge Tao cupped his hands and said, “I am originally the highest authority of a sect myself, so joining the Primordial Isle has no impact.”

Sima Nan also said, “Ancestor, I come from a background of being a rogue cultivator.”

Zhuge Jian said solemnly, “I am willing to join the Primordial Isle, seeking only an opportunity for the Hunyuan realm!”

Bai Bing and Feng Ling also expressed their agreement.

Su Yuan swept his gaze over everyone. These individuals were among the most talented cultivators in the world today, all possessing the potential for the Hunyuan realm. If the path ahead hadn’t been occupied by others, they would certainly have had the chance to impact the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. However, unwilling to become Sages restricted by others or the Heavenly Dao, they had remained stuck at the peak of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal level.

Recruiting these people under his command was excellent. Even if they later developed disloyal intentions, it wouldn’t matter, as their power temporarily remained with them. If he wanted to take it back, these people would have no means of escape.

“Excellent, you shall henceforth be my, the Star Ancestor’s, nominal disciples!” Su Yuan said calmly.

“Disciples pay respects to Master!”

Everyone performed a grand bow.

Su Yuan saw a causal connection established between everyone and himself—the master-disciple karma.

Regarding this, Su Yuan didn’t care in the slightest. This karma could not restrict him;

instead, it provided him with a means to track these people.

Su Yuan said solemnly, “I am the Star Ancestor, mastering the Great Dao of the Myriad Heavens’ Stars, and I have also comprehended numerous Great Daos. The first thing you must cultivate after joining the Primordial Isle is the Star Law!”

With a wave of his hand, complete and perfect Daoist scriptures on the Star Law condensed into countless volumes of books that flew into a side hall next to the main hall.

“There you will find complete scriptures on the Great Dao of Stars. You may study them to your heart’s content!”

Zhuge Tao was startled and asked, “Master, can we study other Great Daos?”

Su Yuan could see at a glance that Zhuge Tao wanted to prove his Dao and achieve the Hunyuan realm through his own Great Dao. He guessed that these fellows, seeing the different Law Origin Qi provided along the way, assumed he had the Law Origin Qi corresponding to their own paths here.

But in reality, he didn’t have much of it either.

Su Yuan’s expression remained calm as he waved his hand, causing eighteen wisps of Star Law Origin Qi to appear out of thin air before him.

When everyone saw these Law Origin Qi, they were instantly astonished.

Su Yuan said calmly, “If you use the Star Law to impact your path to proving the Dao, I can give you three opportunities. Obtaining other types of Law Origin Qi requires you to make significant contributions, and the cost is considerable. How you choose depends on your own considerations!”

Seeing this, Zhuge Tao had nothing more to say. He immediately knelt down: “Disciple is willing to cultivate the Star Law and comprehend the Great Dao of Stars!”

The others were also overjoyed.

Su Yuan waved his hand, and six of the Star Law Origin Qi wisps fell into the hands of the six individuals.

“Withdraw now! I will hold a discourse every thousand years. You may come to listen at that time!”

“Yes!”

Everyone happily accepted the Star Law Origin Qi. With this wisp of opportunity for the Hunyuan realm, they at least had hope for Hunyuan, so they naturally had no complaints.

Su Yuan sat in the main seat and took out the [Tear of Eternity].

With another turn of his hand, he took out three wisps of Law Origin Qi.

They were the Law Origin Qi of Creation, Dimension, and Time, respectively.

These were the three wisps of Law Origin Qi he obtained when passing the Heart Refining Path.

Placing them into the [Tear of Eternity], they transformed into three teardrops.

Su Yuan transferred the teardrop representing one Calamity Fiend towards one of the Creation Law Origin Qi wisps.

He activated the [Tear of Eternity] and successfully merged the two teardrops. More accurately, the teardrop representing the Calamity Fiend transformed into a teardrop representing Creation Law Origin Qi.

One Calamity Fiend disappeared, turning into half a wisp of Creation Law Origin Qi!

This delighted Su Yuan immensely.

It really worked! Just like the previous puppets, it could convert other teardrops into itself.

“The effect of this Eternal trait is actually so astonishing!”

He looked again at the description of the Tear of Eternity.

[Tear of Eternity]: Transforms everything into teardrops, adorning the eternal starry sky.

A very simple description.

‘Everything can be transformed into teardrops.’ This meant there was no difference between teardrops;

they could be converted into each other. Furthermore, teardrops could also be reversed back into any item, achieving a replication effect!

Su Yuan consumed another Calamity Fiend teardrop to complete that half-wisp of Creation Law Origin Qi teardrop.

Su Yuan waved his hand and took the Creation Law Origin Qi out of the [Tear of Eternity]. The two identical wisps of Origin Qi made Su Yuan’s eyes shine brightly.

“It actually really works!”

Su Yuan tried converting using teardrops formed from other materials. He found that the conversion efficiency for materials below the Hunyuan Great Luo level was extremely low, but it was still effective.

However, the best material was still the Calamity Fiend, due to its high conversion efficiency and the fact that he didn’t feel distressed about consuming them.

“I can indeed use this to prove these three Great Daos!”

Su Yuan was very tempted. The three types of Law Origin Qi he possessed now were all very useful laws.

Su Yuan immediately began the conversion.

Before long, he had converted twenty wisps of Time Law Origin Qi, consuming a total of sixty Calamity Fiend bodies in the process.

Su Yuan promptly consumed one wisp of Time Law Origin Qi for comprehension.

He directly used the opportunity for Hunyuan as an accelerator for cultivating laws.

He had also comprehended the Time Law before and had already reached the peak Great Luo Golden Immortal level, achieving the degree of twelve-petaled bloom.

Now, after using one wisp of Time Law Origin Qi, his understanding of the Time Law segment, a branch of the Time Law, immediately became clear, as if he had taken off foggy glasses and could see the real world clearly.

Su Yuan directly immersed himself in comprehending the Time Law.

This period of comprehension lasted three hundred years.

Su Yuan opened his eyes, calculated with his fingers, and said with some astonishment, “Did time pass so quickly?”

He hadn’t expected that comprehending the Time Law would be so time-consuming. He hadn’t encountered any bottlenecks;

it was simply due to the unique nature of the Time Law itself.

He had now comprehended the Time Law to the level of an eighteen-petaled bloom, which was still remarkably fast progress.

He sensed the situation in various places and, finding no abnormalities, continued to consume Time Law Origin Qi for cultivation.

Wisp after wisp of Time Law Origin Qi was consumed.

Su Yuan comprehended incessantly without pause. When nine thousand years had passed, an aura of proving the Dao and achieving the Hunyuan realm immediately emanated from Su Yuan’s body, startling the creatures on the island.

Fortunately, the Primordial Isle’s formations were extremely formidable, directly concealing the fluctuations of the Dao-proofing, not even alerting the Calamity Fiends inside.

Su Yuan opened his eyes, which were filled with a sense of the vicissitudes of time.
