Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard”
Chapter 134: The Name of a Genius
Su Yuan’s steps were light and steady.
This caused the surrounding cultivators to all gaze at him.
Before long, Su Yuan had walked a hundred steps, surpassing twelve cultivators along the way!
The projections of the cultivators were all quite surprised.
And after Su Yuan reached a hundred steps, almost every two steps, he would surpass another cultivator.
Each time he surpassed one, Su Yuan would slightly nod to them as a sign of courtesy.
Although Su Yuan couldn’t clearly see their facial expressions, he could indeed sense the rich emotions within their hearts, including openly revealed murderous intent.
In response, Su Yuan also slightly nodded in gratitude.
After all, no one knew who anyone else was, so Su Yuan didn’t care about others’ killing intent at all.
Why was Su Yuan so confident about this?
Because even the system’s reputation value notification did not appear!
Not even the Mind Echo was activated.
This was the first time Su Yuan encountered such a situation, meaning that according to the system’s judgment, others could not lock onto him at all, not even a hint of his thoughts.
Therefore, Su Yuan appeared very calm.
When he reached three hundred steps, he happened to meet the gaze of Snowflake.
Snowflake exclaimed, “I didn’t expect your comprehension of the laws to be so strong! You’re not a Golden Immortal, but a cultivator who has just entered the Immortal Realm! This explains your situation.”
Su Yuan raised his eyebrows and paused his step slightly.
“You, at the mere Human Immortal Realm, have already started to comprehend the origin of the laws. To be honest, I admire that, but I still advise you to first fully comprehend the Star Laws and obtain the qualification for longevity before considering the comprehension of the origin of the laws!” Snowflake added.
Hearing this, Su Yuan nodded and said, “Thank you for your reminder, fellow Daoist, but my master instructed me to comprehend the laws while fusing them, so I appreciate your kindness.”
Snowflake’s gaze deepened as he said, “I now believe what you said earlier. It seems you really are a genius from a great sect. Heh, that Narrow Sky is just an ordinary talent!”
Narrow Sky snorted coldly and disdainfully said, “Do you think this is all my strength?”
Suddenly, Narrow Sky took a step forward and began walking ahead.
This surprised Snowflake!
Narrow Sky walked step by step, seeming untroubled, and quickly caught up beside Su Yuan.
Su Yuan was also slightly surprised.
Narrow Sky glanced sideways at Snowflake: “‘Senior,’ I’m about to surpass you! You can judge for yourself if I’m a genius!”
Then he shook his head and strode forward.
Snowflake frowned, seemingly not expecting Narrow Sky to truly be a genius as well!
Only thirty years, and Narrow Sky had already caught up with his six thousand years of cultivation and surpassed him.
But compared to this, Su Yuan, who could easily defeat Narrow Sky, was even more abnormal than imagined.
Snowflake subconsciously looked back at Su Yuan.
Su Yuan nodded at him and then surpassed him as well, moving forward.
At this moment, the actions of the two completely startled the surrounding cultivators!
Su Yuan looked at Narrow Sky oddly and said, “Are you really a genius from a great sect?”
“Aren’t you as well?” Narrow Sky said calmly.
Su Yuan smiled faintly and did not reply further.
Genius from a great sect? He was just making things up.
The two strode forward again, covering another three hundred steps.
A cultivator beside them couldn’t help but say, “I comprehended two types of Star Law Origins three hundred years ago already. Do you two have to be so fierce?”
Narrow Sky confidently said, “I’m building up strength over time. Thirty years is enough for me to comprehend six types of Law Origins!”
Snowflake said from behind, “Keep bragging!”
Narrow Sky marched forward confidently and swiftly.
Su Yuan casually followed along.
When the two had just passed a thousand steps, Su Yuan looked back and found the cultivator at the very end was already out of sight because the path ahead was vast;
after crossing a certain distance, it was enveloped in starlight mist, making it impossible to see.
Snowflake stood at the three hundred step position with a complicated expression.
He looked at the two backs and was filled with mixed feelings.
Is this what a genius is?
But Snowflake was not discouraged. This path was about endurance;
momentary speed was nothing!
Finally, after losing sight of the two, he sat cross-legged and fell silent.
The further forward Su Yuan walked, the denser the people became.
He couldn’t help but say, “There are actually more and more people.”
“That’s normal. Usually, the number of people is greatest near comprehending 27 types of Law Origins. After each bottleneck, many people gather there,” Narrow Sky said casually.
He then looked at Su Yuan and asked, “How many types of Law Origins have you comprehended?”
Su Yuan replied, “A few more than you.”
“Then just wait. I’ll surpass you soon!” Narrow Sky suddenly stopped.
Su Yuan was stunned, turned back, and saw Narrow Sky standing about 1,800 steps from the entrance.
Obviously, he truly had comprehended six types of Law Origins.
Su Yuan waved goodbye and continued walking step by step.
Eventually, Narrow Sky could no longer see Su Yuan’s back.
So he could only ask the cultivator at the very front he could see whether they could see Su Yuan’s position.
That person seemed easy to talk to and told him Su Yuan finally stopped at around 3,600 steps, probably having comprehended 12 types of Law Origins.
This utterly convinced Narrow Sky, and his consciousness left the origin realm of the Dao.
In reality.
Deep inside a cave dwelling of a great sect.
A young man opened his eyes. Opposite him, an elder nodded and said, “Not bad, your disposition has been tempered a bit.”
The young man bitterly smiled, “Master, I wasn’t tempered, I was crushed!”
The elder asked with surprise, “What do you mean?”
“I spent 30 years to comprehend six types of Law Origins, but just now a cultivator who just entered the origin realm has already comprehended twelve!”
“Oh?” The elder remained calm and said, “Maybe he had a sudden enlightenment;
comprehending twelve Law Origins is not that difficult.”
The young man’s expression softened a bit. “Master, I will catch up with him soon!”
“Good. As long as you have that heart, it’s fine. Although you are already a Golden Immortal, the path of cultivation has only just begun!” The elder nodded. “Now, come with me to the Star Sea. I will help accelerate your cultivation!”
The young man’s eyes lit up with joy. “Thank you, Master!”
The two transformed into a streak of light and vanished instantly.
Meanwhile, Su Yuan’s deeds began circulating quietly in other sects.
But because his identity was uncertain, they only secretly gathered possible information.
Especially among the great sects and big clans, some were quietly collecting information about possible super geniuses.
At this time, Su Yuan was still within the origin realm of the Starry Dao Road.
Ahead of him, a cultivator’s projection surprisingly extended an olive branch.
“Fellow Daoist, I am a Golden Immortal from the Cold Ice Divine Sect. Our sect has powerful guardians and strong influence. Are you interested in joining the Cold Ice Divine Sect?”
Su Yuan shook his head and said, “I am already in a great sect myself. I appreciate your kindness!”
The cultivator smiled slightly, “Heh, you can consider it. If you have thoughts later, you can contact me!”
Su Yuan nodded, “Understood.”
Several other cultivators around also called to him, wanting to recruit him into their sects.
But Su Yuan knew these invitations were meaningless because he would not join those sects or factions. The key was, these people could not prove they were truly from those great sects!
Unless they were willing to expose their identity and aura, but obviously no one was foolish enough to do that.
At this time, a cultivator behind Su Yuan spoke up, “You are called 996, right? I am Tiandu. I heard you reached this level just after entering the origin realm. Are you interested in a battle?”
Hearing this, Su Yuan nodded, “Alright!”
The two ascended, and the surrounding space changed, clearing a huge area.
Su Yuan’s expression grew serious as he looked at the other. Their comprehension of the Dao was about equal;
the battle would depend on law application skills and combat techniques!
Several cultivator projections nearby also looked up.
When the starlight filled the space, Tiandu decisively struck, raising his hand and summoning twelve fireballs!
These twelve fireballs rotated around each other, evolving into a sea of flames that directly enveloped Su Yuan.
Su Yuan’s mind shifted, activating the origin of the laws to form layers of starry light mirrors around him.
This was the Stellar Reversal technique learned from the Hidden Star Immortal Lord, capable of blocking and reflecting attacks!
But Su Yuan soon realized his defense was futile.
The terrifying flames completely covered him;
the reflected fireballs in the mirrors merged into the fire sea, instantly assimilated by others’ flames, and then burned the mirrors again.
The mirrors only lasted a few breaths before shattering entirely in the endless flames.
Su Yuan’s consciousness was forcibly expelled from the origin realm of the Dao.
“Such powerful flame energy!”
Su Yuan closed his eyes and briefly pondered, knowing the opponent used a Star Law Origin based on Burning, fused with the remaining eleven Law Origins to enhance the burning attribute of the Star Law, forming a terrifying Star Flame.
Su Yuan felt this display greatly benefited him, so he reinvested his consciousness and entered the origin realm again.
This time, it was no longer others inviting him to fight, but he inviting surrounding cultivators to battle.
Everyone gave this genius face.
Su Yuan fought hundreds of times consecutively, battling hundreds of cultivators with equivalent levels of law comprehension, and exited the origin realm with a magnificent record of 399 wins and 1 loss.
