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

The entire Gaoyu Tribe had over two hundred thousand people, but the direction of the tribe was determined by the seven individuals at the very top.

As long as something was jointly decided by these seven people, everyone had to comply.

Thus, Su Yuan’s appointment instantly spread throughout the tribe, with not a single person questioning it.

Jin Liuyan was completely dumbfounded. He had just sparred with Su Yuan once before, and although he lost, he could still see the gap between them. How had Su Yuan suddenly become a Reserve Elder?

He nervously inquired about Su Yuan’s residence and hurried over, wanting to apologize for his previous behavior.

However, when he arrived in front of Su Yuan’s courtyard, it was already surrounded by a dense crowd.

Xiao Xiang stood at the courtyard gate, vigorously waving her arms: “Currently, Elder Su only accepts requests for refining supreme treasures and is temporarily not receiving guests.”

“Sister Xiao, I have important matters I wish to discuss with Elder Su. Could you please help announce me?”

Someone forcibly shoved items into Xiao Xiang’s hands.

This time, Xiao Xiang didn’t dare to accept them, quickly waving her hands: “No, no, please return!”

Seeing this situation, Jin Liuyan felt that getting inside was out of the question.

But at that moment, a voice sounded in his ear: “Come inside for a moment!”

This voice was very familiar—it was Su Yuan’s voice.

Delighted, Jin Liuyan pushed through the crowd and arrived at the entrance.

When Xiao Xiang saw him, she stepped aside: “Go on in!”

Thus, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jin Liuyan entered the courtyard.

Those outside, witnessing this scene, immediately abandoned any thoughts of leaving and continued waiting in place.

Inside the courtyard.

Su Yuan met with Jin Liuyan.

“Greetings, Elder Su!” Jin Liuyan immediately said.

Su Yuan waved his hand: “No need for formalities. I actually prefer how you were before.”

Jin Liuyan gave an awkward smile.

“I want to ask you, do you know about Lingluo Mountain?”

“Yes, yes!” Jin Liuyan nodded.

“What do you know about the Lingluo Beast, the overlord of Lingluo Mountain?”

Jin Liuyan was momentarily stunned, then replied: “The Lingluo Beast is a unique Chaos Beast native to Lingluo Mountain! Even the mountain itself became famous because of them! Lingluo Mountain isn’t far from the tribe and is one of the frequently visited hunting grounds.

The Lingluo Beast has four special abilities. First is Body Transformation into Lingluo Net—they can transform into a net to restrain enemies. The key is that multiple Lingluo Beasts can coordinate, forming an even more powerful Lingluo Net to restrain stronger opponents. This is the most annoying aspect of Lingluo Beasts.”

Su Yuan nodded: “Continue!”

Jin Liuyan said: “Besides the Lingluo Net, they also possess Lingluo Steps, Lingluo Armor, and the extremely terrifying Rule of Lingluo Heaven.”

“What’s the strength of the strongest Lingluo Beast?” Su Yuan casually asked.

Jin Liuyan’s expression turned serious: “The current situation inside isn’t clear. There are rumors of a Wuji Realm Lingluo Beast hidden within, but no one has seen it with their own eyes!”

Su Yuan seemed thoughtful, lightly tapping his finger on the chair.

This was the first task he needed to complete after becoming a Reserve Elder—clearing out Lingluo Mountain!

Among the several elders, two had previously gone to investigate, including the Demon Subduing Venerable. They could confirm that there were no Wuji Realm Lingluo Beasts in Lingluo Mountain, which was why it had been left for everyone to train in.

Now, with the beast tide approaching, this Lingluo Mountain had become a potential threat, so they needed to send people to clear it out.

They just lacked a strong leader as a precaution.

Originally, they planned to send a Wuji Realm expert.

But the elders were worried such a move might trigger other changes, so they hadn’t selected a candidate yet.

And now Su Yuan’s appearance was perfect timing. He was himself at the Tai Chi Realm, so he wouldn’t cause other changes, yet he possessed combat power at the Wuji Realm level, allowing him to prevent unexpected situations.

Thus, this appointment fell into his hands.

“Very good, it seems you have understanding of both Lingluo Mountain and the Lingluo Beasts. In that case, you shall accompany me to subdue Lingluo Mountain!” Su Yuan said with a smile.

“Just the two of us?” Jin Liuyan asked with some trepidation.

“Are you an idiot? Of course the hunting team will set out together!” Su Yuan said.

“Haha, I am willing to serve the Elder with utter devotion!” Jin Liuyan gave an awkward laugh.

“Good, go tell those outside that I’m heading to subdue Lingluo Mountain. Those willing to come along should stay. We depart for Lingluo Mountain tomorrow!”

Su Yuan waved his hand and tossed him a token for an elder’s assistant.

Jin Liuyan was immediately delighted and strode out of the courtyard with great enthusiasm.

Su Yuan watched as Jin Liuyan negotiated with those people, and what he said became somewhat different.

For example, he claimed that no one had ever seen a Wuji Realm Chaos Beast at Lingluo Mountain, and the danger level was quite low, and so on.

Su Yuan shook his head, feeling an inexplicable sense of foreboding in his heart.

“Better find some additional insurance!”

Su Yuan focused his mind.

His figure instantly disappeared.

When he reappeared, he had already arrived at the God Realm Sea.

Within the realm sea, terrifying black energy was wildly devouring everything!

World after world was collapsing, turning to dust under the cover of the Nameless Mist.

He could only see those intelligent beings praying to the heavens for the Seven Stars, begging for rebirth in the future.

The entire realm sea was immersed in a strange atmosphere of endless despair mixed with a sliver of hope.

Su Yuan scanned the area but didn’t see Yaxia and the others. After they obtained the Chaos Flying Ship he refined, they had indeed chosen to venture into the chaos.

Su Yuan swept his Mental Echo and discovered that these four were still circling not far outside the realm sea.

Su Yuan looked up toward the Great Dao’s Will.

The entire realm sea’s Great Dao’s Will had become obscure and indistinct, as if it had entered a dormant state.

Su Yuan’s heart stirred as he activated power at the Wuji Realm level.

The Chaos Pearl in his hand radiated the brilliance of time, instantly spreading into the distance.

The Great Dao’s Will didn’t emerge to stop him, making Su Yuan’s actions incredibly easy.

Before long, the entire realm sea was enveloped in a domain of accelerated time.

A million-fold time acceleration caused the Ragnarök within the realm sea to proceed at a much faster pace.

Clusters of Nameless Mist occupied the last remaining world fragments of the realm sea.

Beside Su Yuan, wisps of Nameless Mist leaped and danced joyfully as a small, nimble fish swam over gracefully.

“Master, Master, you’re here!” Little Cai excitedly called out.

Su Yuan sensed her cultivation level and was astonished to find she had reached the peak of the Tai Chi Realm!

Su Yuan marveled: “Your strength has improved so quickly!”

Little Cai giggled: “This is the Rule of Calamity. The greater the catastrophe, the stronger I become!”

Her eyes still shone with admiration: “Master, thanks to your promise to all living beings, I can maintain my final clarity even after unleashing calamities and slaughtering creatures. Otherwise, I would have been overwhelmed by the killing and lost my intelligence!”

Su Yuan smiled: “For Little Cai’s sake, such a small matter is something I naturally must help you with! Hurry and finish this. Be careful during the final sublimation!”

Little Cai nodded her head and merged back into the Nameless Mist.

Not long after.

The entire realm sea had been completely swallowed by the Nameless Mist!

In that instant, the realm walls of the realm sea began to show signs of shattering.

Crack!
