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

Inside the Tear of Eternity.

There was an endless starry sky!

Countless substances had transformed into eternal teardrops, moving through the starry sky according to the Star Rule. This place was also Su Yuan’s Place to Prove the Dao for his Star Rule.

Su Yuan arrived at an empty area and began laying out the materials for crafting the puppet one by one.

“The requirements for the main materials to refine a Wuji Realm puppet are met, but I can only use simplified versions for the auxiliary materials!”

Looking at this pile of materials, most were at the Tai Chi Realm level, with only a few scattered materials reaching the Wuji Realm, which he had found from the Abyss Will’s inventory.

As a result, the success rate dropped infinitely low.

But there was also an advantage—the refining speed was similarly increased.

Just as Su Yuan was about to start refining the puppet.

A patch of abyss approached from the distance.

Su Yuan looked strangely at the abyss.

The Abyss Will approached, its form shifting and shrinking to human size, transforming into a black-haired youth.

This wasn’t shape-shifting, just a temporary change of form.

“What are you doing?” the Abyss Will questioned.

“I’m refining a puppet!” Su Yuan replied curiously. “Is there a problem?”

“What is that thing?” The Abyss Will pointed at the Chaos Beast crystal core.

“Oh, that’s the life essence left behind after a Primordial Ultimate Great Luo Golden Immortal level Chaos Beast perished.” Su Yuan explained very calmly.

A clear expression of surprise and greed appeared on the Abyss Will’s face.

“No wonder! No wonder it emits such a delicious aura!” The Abyss Will stared fixedly at the crystal core, the greed in its eyes becoming tangible.

It made no attempt to conceal its thoughts—there was no need for pretense since it had already been sealed by Su Yuan, so hiding emotions was pointless.

“You want to devour it?” Su Yuan asked.

“Yes!” The Abyss Will replied straightforwardly.

“But I need it to refine a Wuji Realm puppet!” Su Yuan said with difficulty.

The Abyss Will scanned the materials in front of Su Yuan and stated bluntly, “With these materials of yours, it’s fundamentally impossible to refine a Wuji Realm puppet!”

Its tone was extremely certain.

Su Yuan shrugged. “That doesn’t matter. Even if the refinement fails, I can still resurrect that Chaos Beast. As long as it’s within this sky, any existence can become my asset!”

“Then there’s no need for such unnecessary trouble. Just let me devour it directly. The power I gain will be greater than adding an extra Wuji Realm strength!” The Abyss Will said confidently.

Hearing this, Su Yuan was momentarily stunned.

This seemed reasonable. After the Abyss Will devoured the Chaos crystal core and enhanced its strength, that power could still be channeled to himself.

However, if he could successfully refine the puppet, he could take it out of the Tear of Eternity. There were times when it could achieve other astonishing effects, such as luring enemies, surrounding opponents, or splitting forces.

At that moment, the Abyss Will’s gaze swept over Su Yuan and sensed that he still possessed two other Chaos Beast crystal cores.

The Abyss Will immediately had an idea and continued, “I am also proficient in the puppet path. The demon races born within me actually share common ground with the puppet path. Additionally, some substances from my body can serve as materials for puppet crafting. I can help you refine the puppet, and you give me the other two Chaos Beast crystal cores to devour.”

Hearing this, Su Yuan showed interest. With a flip of his hand, two Wuji Realm Chaos Beast crystal cores indeed appeared.

“No problem. If we can successfully refine the puppet together, I’ll give you the remaining Chaos Beast crystal cores to refine!” Su Yuan said calmly.

The Abyss Will’s expression returned to calm. “I don’t guarantee success.”

“Let’s give it a try.” Su Yuan said.

Su Yuan transmitted the refinement method for the Wuji Realm puppet to the Abyss Will.

The Abyss Will digested this inheritance in a single breath and said with surprise, “This refinement method is quite interesting, very exquisite. It bears traces of modifications by over a thousand Wuji Realm experts. Where did you obtain such an inheritance?”

“So many Wuji Great Powers have modified it?” Su Yuan was genuinely somewhat astonished.

The White Emperor’s puppet inheritance included knowledge obtained from the Chaos Continent, and those inheritances were likely extremely ancient.

“Can we succeed in refining it?” Su Yuan asked.

“At most ten percent probability, but if you leverage the characteristics of this place, the success rate should increase by another ten percent!”

Twenty percent? That was already good enough!

Su Yuan nodded. “Then let’s begin!”

The Abyss Will didn’t hesitate either, directly cutting off its own arm with one strike.

After the arm separated from the Abyss Will’s body, it transformed into a section of stone wall.

This was the material the Abyss Will had mentioned—truly ruthless enough.

The subsequent refinement was led by the Abyss Will, with Su Yuan assisting.

Su Yuan mobilized the power of the Tear of Eternity to supply various needs during the puppet refinement process.

Their collaboration proceeded very smoothly.

The Abyss Will truly exerted its full effort, using Wuji Realm strength to refine the puppet.

The Wuji Realm puppet opened Su Yuan’s eyes to new heights.

Every inch of the puppet’s body was composed of countless small universes. All materials totaled twelve trillion universes, forming an exquisite whole.

All materials were fused together, forming a colossal entity trillions of light-years tall!

Even before the refinement was complete, the puppet’s aura was already approaching the peak of the Tai Chi Realm.

The final step was to place the Chaos Beast crystal core at the very center of the puppet’s body.

“This step, you should complete it!” The Abyss Will stopped its actions, indicating for Su Yuan to proceed.

Su Yuan took a deep breath and gently placed a Chaos Beast crystal core into the puppet’s core.

Crack!

Countless materials on the puppet’s body connected with the Chaos Beast crystal core!

In an instant, countless transformations occurred within the puppet’s body.

The profoundness of the transformation process made even the Abyss Will unable to resist immersing itself in it.

Su Yuan had no time to comprehend it, so he could only record the entire transformation process for detailed study later.

He watched the puppet’s changes nervously.

At a certain moment.

All transformations within the puppet’s body concluded. As the puppet’s eyes lit up with chaotic spiritual light, the puppet began emitting a genuine Wuji Realm aura.

The puppet’s body, trillions of light-years in size, rapidly shrank, reducing to merely 1.8 meters tall in the blink of an eye.

The puppet’s gaze fixed on Su Yuan as it knelt on one knee and said, “I pay respects to the Dominator!”

Su Yuan smiled broadly. “Hahaha, rise! No need for formalities. From now on, your name will be Su Kui Yi!”

“As you command, Dominator!” The puppet stood up.

The Abyss Will awakened and said with surprise, “It actually succeeded?”

It had actually exaggerated earlier—in its view, the success rate was less than two percent!

Claiming a twenty percent success rate was just to deceive Su Yuan, but the result actually succeeded!

Su Yuan looked at the puppet, then suddenly activated the power of the Tear of Eternity, meticulously scanning every part of Su Kui Yi’s body and extracting a faint, nearly invisible strand of will.

Su Yuan looked at the Abyss Will with a knowing smile.

The Abyss Will calmly looked into the distance, sighing inwardly with regret.
