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

“Here?”

Su Yuan arrived at a deep, secluded region of the starry sky, where shattered stars accumulated to form an asteroid belt. There were also quite a few intact stars here, but the living conditions were extremely harsh, and there were no suns present, making the light very dim.

This was essentially a garbage zone, and he didn’t know how the Star Ancient God had previously found such a place.

Su Yuan followed the route from the Star Ancient God’s previous fate trajectory, continuously advancing deeper into it.

The closer he got to his target, the dimmer the light between heaven and earth became, until he reached the deepest part of the shattered star belt, where he saw a spatial-temporal rift.

The faint, barely perceptible spatial-temporal rift could easily be missed if one wasn’t careful. Su Yuan examined it for a moment, then used the power of dimensional rules and time rules to tear open the spatial-temporal rift.

Su Yuan stepped forward, and in an instant, he entered an area of spatial-temporal turbulence.

The powers of time and space here materialized into tangible flowing water, earth, rocks, and air, forming a peculiar time dimension world.

Su Yuan hadn’t advanced far when he saw a horned insect lying on the spatial-temporal flowing water, sucking on time power and space power.

The power of spacetime flowed over the insect’s body, transforming into patterns of spatial-temporal law that imprinted themselves on the insect’s carapace surface.

This small insect surprisingly possessed early-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivation.

Su Yuan looked at the insect in surprise.

And his gaze attracted the insect’s attention.

That horned insect immediately leaped along the spatial-temporal flowing water, disappearing without a trace after a few flashes.

“This is truly an excellent place to cultivate time law and space law!”

Su Yuan couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

Comprehending time and space laws was most difficult because these two laws couldn’t be materialized, having an indescribable, elusive quality. But within this spatial-temporal rift, time power and space power had already become tangible substances—some transforming into flowing water, others into rocks—making comprehension much easier.

He was puzzled: why hadn’t the Star Ancient God comprehended time law and space law here?

Su Yuan suddenly realized: the god system of the God Realm Sea required first becoming a god through faith, then comprehending laws and rules.

That meant the Star Ancient God needed to first become an ordinary god of time and space, then gradually reach the level of time rules and space rules.

But now, these two laws were already occupied by other gods, leaving the Star Ancient God with no opportunity to do so.

Su Yuan shook his head: “What a terrible waste of natural resources!”

Su Yuan immediately began searching for a safe place.

He found a small island floating on the spatial-temporal flowing water, and the island itself was also composed of time power and space power.

When Su Yuan sat cross-legged on the spatial-temporal island and officially began comprehending time law and space law, he discovered that the time flow rate here was constantly changing, completely different from the time perception of his other clones. Other places experienced linear changes, while here it was curvilinear—sometimes rising, sometimes falling, sometimes a moment lasting a thousand years, sometimes a thousand years passing in an instant.

With the time changes provided by his external clones as reference objects, comprehending time law on this spatial-temporal island made the time law feel even clearer.

Su Yuan’s comprehension of the two laws improved at an astonishing speed.

Around him, time fluctuations and space fluctuations gradually emanated, slowly integrating into the spatial-temporal island’s environment.

His comprehension of time law progressed fastest. After a hundred years passed in the external world, his time law comprehension had reached the twenty-four-petaled flower level.

After a thousand years passed in the external world, he had comprehended it to the thirty-petaled flower level.

After ten thousand years hurriedly passed in the external world, Su Yuan finally comprehended time law to perfection, reaching the edge of proving the Hunyuan Dao.

Normal living beings would need Law Root Qi or the God Realm Sea’s origin place to break through to Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal at this point.

But Su Yuan had already proven the Time Law Dao.

And Time Law was precisely a secondary law of time law, so now he could simply transform Time Rules into time rules without needing additional Law Root Qi!

Su Yuan did not hesitate to enter into the transformation of Time Law.

Intense time fluctuations emanated around him, and the spatial-temporal island, affected by him, gradually changed its own time fluctuations.

In this dimension, changes in time fluctuations would produce immediate effects.

The originally only several thousand square meter spatial-temporal island unconsciously expanded tens of thousands of times!

Gradually forming a spatial-temporal continent.

Originally, the spatial-temporal island floated on the spatial-temporal flowing water.

But now the spatial-temporal flowing water transformed into water flowing over the spatial-temporal continent.

Each time the spatial-temporal flowing water circulated around the spatial-temporal continent, a large portion of the water volume disappeared.

The flowing water transforming into part of the spatial-temporal continent caused the spatial-temporal continent to grow larger and larger.

Some spacetime creatures discovered the existence of the spatial-temporal continent and came here to live.

Some plant-inclined spacetime creatures settled here, beginning to propagate greenery across the continent.

Su Yuan’s consciousness had completely merged with the island. Actually, for safety reasons, he had already refined the island from the beginning.

And after the island transformed into a continent, it remained under Su Yuan’s control.

Su Yuan observed the changes in the spacetime creatures on the continent, witnessing the process of time flowing water transforming into rocks and soil.

His comprehension of time law and space law accelerated once more.

Finally, after thirty thousand years passed in the external world, Su Yuan’s time law transformed into time rules!

He had proven the Dao of time!

The spatial-temporal continent where he was located suddenly expanded dramatically, growing from several hundred kilometers in radius to several hundred thousand kilometers in radius in one breath!

Completely becoming a proper spatial-temporal continent!

But Su Yuan’s comprehension process wasn’t over yet—space law had also reached perfection by this point.

Su Yuan turned to comprehending space law.

He altered the time flow rate, increasing the surrounding time flow rate by a million times!

One year in the external world equaled one million years internally!

Thus, in less than half a year, Su Yuan elevated dimensional rules to space rules!

He had proven the Dao of space too!

Proving the Dao of space rules caused the spatial-temporal continent to expand once more, with an even greater impact than proving the time Dao.

It expanded to a diameter of several trillion kilometers in one breath!

The entire spatial-temporal dimension underwent tremendous changes, with countless spatial-temporal flowing water having to descend onto the spatial-temporal continent, and many spacetime creatures all entering the spatial-temporal continent to live.

“Hmm?”

Su Yuan discovered that the disordered time power and space power of this time dimension were evolving toward an ordered state under his influence, and that peculiar spatial-temporal rule was also disappearing.

But because of this, Su Yuan noticed something abnormal.
