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

Su Yuan gazed into the depths of the spatial-temporal dimension, sensing an unusual fluctuation of spatial-temporal rules.

“There seems to be something there that was previously surrounded by chaotic time and space forces, making it undetectable, but now it’s been exposed!”

Su Yuan felt the urge to investigate further.

He rushed out from the Spatial-Temporal Continent and glanced back at his previous secluded cultivation spot. The continent appeared barren with extremely sparse spacetime creatures.

Su Yuan summoned the Tear of Eternity, invoking the power of the Green Emperor Puppet to release a life rule spell across the entire continent!

The power of life enveloped the whole landmass—whether flowing water, air currents, soil, rocks, or mountains, as well as previously existing plants and animals—everything was influenced by the life rules at this moment. Some inanimate objects gained spirituality and transformed into living beings, while existing creatures saw their reproductive capabilities greatly enhanced, rapidly multiplying.

Su Yuan smiled faintly and then traveled toward the distant depths.

Soon, he reached the deep spatial-temporal regions.

He saw a massive spatial-temporal vortex with nine swirling arms constantly spraying enormous amounts of time and space forces, forming numerous spatial-temporal storms.

At the center of the small vortex, a gigantic spatial-temporal star slowly rotated.

“Innate Supreme Treasure!”

Su Yuan was utterly shocked.

He had actually encountered an Innate Supreme Treasure!

“And it’s even a mid-grade Innate Supreme Treasure!” Su Yuan gasped in astonishment once more.

However, upon closer inspection, Su Yuan noticed this treasure hadn’t fully matured yet and was still slowly growing, currently only qualifying as a half-step mid-grade Innate Supreme Treasure.

He then spotted a massive worm lying on that spatial-temporal star, devouring spatial-temporal forces.

It was a worm with a long, sharp horn, its appearance almost identical to the worm Su Yuan encountered when he first entered the spatial-temporal rift.

Or rather, this one was the ancestor of that worm.

Su Yuan named it the Spatial-Temporal Horned Worm.

This ancestral Spatial-Temporal Horned Worm emitted power fluctuations that had actually reached the half-step Tai Chi Realm!

Which was equivalent to the half-step Creator God realm.

Such a powerful worm was something Su Yuan was seeing for the first time.

“No wonder this treasure hasn’t fully matured yet—it’s been constantly having its essence devoured by this worm.”

Su Yuan fell into deep thought as he observed the Spatial-Temporal Horned Worm.

Despite being only at the half-step Tai Chi Realm, this creature was extremely proficient in both time and space rules, making it immune to sealing by either time or space forces.

Escaping would be incredibly easy for it!

The previous smaller Spatial-Temporal Horned Worm was already ridiculously elusive—back then, with just a moment’s inattention, it had escaped right under his nose, and that was just a Great Luo Golden Immortal level Spatial-Temporal Horned Worm. This one’s realm was even higher, making escape trivial.

Why did he want to capture it so badly?

This was a natural favorite of spatial-temporal laws, making it perfect material for artifact refinement—it could even be used to create mid-grade Acquired Supreme Treasures!

If he could capture it alive, keeping it as a pet wouldn’t be bad either. A creature proficient in both time and space rules would have heaven-defying speed and top-tier escape capabilities.

Thus, the value of this Spatial-Temporal Horned Worm was comparable to that spatial-temporal treasure itself.

An idea sparked in Su Yuan’s mind.

He quietly retreated without alerting the Spatial-Temporal Horned Worm.

Then, Su Yuan returned to his Spatial-Temporal Continent.

In just this short time, the entire continent had become vibrant with life, numerous creatures thriving and multiplying within.

These creatures were mostly spatially or temporally inclined special beings, born with time or space law characteristics, and all starting from at least the Golden Immortal realm.

After searching around, Su Yuan indeed found traces of Spatial-Temporal Horned Worms.

On this continent, Spatial-Temporal Horned Worms remained one of the most powerful races, having formed horned worm communities, and even showing the first sparks of civilization emerging.

Some powerful Spatial-Temporal Horned Worms had already developed class distinctions.

Deep in thought, Su Yuan took out the Tear of Eternity and tossed it into the continent’s depths, where it transformed into a cave.

Surrounding that cave, ore deposits of time force and space force were slowly forming. These ores came from treasures Su Yuan previously obtained from Hunyuan experts, now transformed by the Tear of Eternity to forcefully create an entire ore vein!

These were extremely rare and precious Hunyuan-level ores—just a few pieces could be used to refine lower-grade Acquired Supreme Treasures.

But now, Su Yuan went all out, consuming massive resources to transform them into a complete ore vein.

Simultaneously, he sent a doppelganger over, transformed to look like a Spatial-Temporal Horned Worm, which lay at the cave entrance and immediately started snoring loudly, radiating dense time and space forces.

With this,

His plan was completely set.

A simple plan that might seem crude, but against these worms, it was actually quite sophisticated.

Su Yuan began waiting quietly.

Time on the Spatial-Temporal Continent passed swiftly—thousands of years went by in the blink of an eye.

Finally, one Spatial-Temporal Horned Worm discovered traces of the ore vein.

After millennia of development, Su Yuan was surprised to find that this artificially created ore vein had genuinely evolved into a real one, with natural time and space forces from heaven and earth spontaneously converting into the vein, making the entire plan seamless.

When this Spatial-Temporal Horned Worm discovered the pure ore, it couldn’t resist devouring one piece, then fell into deep sleep.

Upon awakening, its power had actually doubled!

The Spatial-Temporal Horned Worm was ecstatic and continued digging for more ore to devour and grow stronger.

Soon, this worm’s power increased by an entire level, advancing from the early Taiyi Golden Immortal stage to the late Taiyi Golden Immortal stage.

Overjoyed, the Spatial-Temporal Horned Worm immediately called its companions.

The less intelligent Spatial-Temporal Horned Worms didn’t choose to keep the discovery to themselves, which pleased the secretly observing Su Yuan.

Quickly, a group of Spatial-Temporal Horned Worms arrived.

The swarm of Spatial-Temporal Horned Worms dug deeper into the ore vein, devouring as they went, their power rapidly increasing.

The strongest among them had reached the Hunyuan Golden Immortal level, equivalent to reaching the God King level in the God Realm Sea.

Group after group of Spatial-Temporal Horned Worms gathered, continuously consuming the ore vein’s resources.

When they reached a certain depth, they sensed the presence of one of their kind and called out to it.

The sleeping Spatial-Temporal Horned Worm seemed disturbed by their noise.

Then, Su Yuan’s avatar decisively expelled the swarms of Spatial-Temporal Horned Worms from the ore vein, preventing them from further consumption.

This left all the Spatial-Temporal Horned Worms dumbfounded.

If this were a different species, they might have collectively attacked, but since it was one of their own, they couldn’t take action.

So, the slightly smarter ones had a brainstorm—they thought of bringing their ancestor over to settle this fairly.
