Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard”
Chapter 286: Refining Treasures and Cultivation Proceed Simultaneously
Inside Primordial Isle.
Su Yuan summoned the Chaos Pearl.
Then Su Yuan stepped into the interior of the Chaos Pearl.
At the very center was a small realm sea, while the periphery was filled with chaotic energy.
It resembled both a chicken egg and a pill furnace.
Inside the small realm sea, those cultivators were still exploring and challenging themselves.
Su Yuan arrived within the chaotic energy.
The space-time rule power of the Chaos Pearl gathered, splitting open the chaotic energy to form a new small realm sea.
However, this small realm sea was in a state of being about to open but not yet fully formed, with countless laws in their nascent stage, wild and disordered.
Space would occasionally shatter open with massive cracks, and the earth couldn't even take shape.
With a thought from Su Yuan, the chaotic energy surrounding this newly born small realm sea began to burn, transforming into chaotic flames that enveloped the entire newborn small realm sea.
All the various substances within, including the laws, twisted and deformed under the forging of the chaotic flames.
Su Yuan smiled with satisfaction - now the refining furnace could barely be used.
Using a realm sea as the furnace and chaotic energy as the flames was sufficient to forge Heavenly Dao-level treasures.
With another thought from Su Yuan, hundreds of rare Heavenly Dao-level materials of different properties flew out from the [Tear of Eternity].
Many of these had been transformed by the [Tear of Eternity] over the years.
Su Yuan selected the star-attribute materials from them, such as Primordial Star Tears, Moon Palace Stone, Source Dream Star Crystals, and so on.
He threw them into the refining furnace.
Chaotic flames surged upward, beginning to temper these materials.
Simultaneously, Su Yuan summoned his life-bound treasure, the Nine Stars Linked Pearl Sword.
Nine sword bodies appeared out of thin air, each blade imprinted with Su Yuan's star rule dao patterns.
Now these nine swords had also reached the limit of low-grade supreme treasures, just one step away from the Heavenly Dao level.
His goal was to refine them to the Heavenly Dao level.
The nine flying swords flew into the small realm sea.
They transformed into nine massive mountains, each mountain spanning ninety-nine thousand nine hundred light-years, vast and boundless.
Strands of law power condensed around the mountains, weaving into chains that anchored the mountains within the small realm sea.
Su Yuan's will ascended, becoming the Heavenly Dao of this small realm sea, calmly looking down upon the nine mountains below and the Heavenly Dao-level treasure materials scattered throughout the small realm sea.
These treasure materials were being refined, each one burning like dazzling stars.
Su Yuan simulated Heavenly Dao power, commanding these treasure materials to begin operating like stars.
The radiance they emitted all shone upon those nine mountains.
The nine mountains couldn't withstand the burning of this starlight from the very beginning, starting to show signs of melting and cracking.
Massive thousand-mile boulders broke off from the mountains, with rumbling sounds continuously echoing through the small realm sea.
Meanwhile, strands of Heavenly Dao-level treasure material essence gradually merged deep into the mountains, causing the star rules of the mountains to gradually transform.
Treasure refinement had begun.
Su Yuan devoted all his efforts to refining treasures.
The scale of this treasure refinement was so immense that describing it as earth-shattering and ghost-weeping wasn't even enough.
Heaven and earth were shattering.
Space was cracking apart.
Rules were being reshaped.
The power of creation merged into every strand of starlight, filled with astonishing mysteries and profound dao implications.
If any cultivator could witness such a scene, they would inevitably enter an epiphany state, then subsequently transform into the dao and perish.
Su Yuan's star rules also underwent sublimation during this process, beginning to advance from the Hunyuan Great Luo realm toward the Hunyuan Tai Chi realm.
This was both a process of treasure refinement and a process of advancement.
The moment the Star Tai Chi Supreme Treasure emerged would be the moment of his breakthrough.
Su Yuan immersed himself in comprehending the dao and refining treasures, neglecting his perception of the outside world.
At the edge of the Immortal-Demon Realm Sea.
A team consisting of five Tai Chi and fifty Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortals was riding a chaos ark, gradually approaching the Immortal-Demon Realm Sea.
This was a vanguard team, one of many vanguard teams, searching for their mission target.
"Captain, ahead is a new realm sea!"
A cultivator skilled in perception was the first to report to the vanguard team's captain.
The captain was named Yuan Yuan, who appeared humanoid but was actually a type of chaos beast.
Born as a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal, he had now reached the middle stage of the Hunyuan Tai Chi realm, ranking among the notable experts in the Chaos Continent.
"Hmm, after sailing for hundreds of Yuan Assemblies, we've finally found a target."
Yuan Yuan looked toward the churning chaotic energy, where he could vaguely see a massive realm sea.
Within chaos, time was disordered.
Without a Wuji realm expert controlling the time rules, one could only submit to the chaotic, disordered flow of time.
What might have been only a hundred years in the realm sea could have been endless eons in the chaos.
And Hunyuan experts also had lifespan limits - it wasn't exaggerated for Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortals to exhaust their lifespans in chaos and perish.
An average lifespan of three thousand kalpas meant nothing in the chaos.
Yuan Yuan waved his hand.
The chaos ark changed direction, heading toward the realm sea.
Slowly, the edge of a realm sea appeared before everyone.
It was a wall.
Because the realm sea was too massive, even Hunyuan experts couldn't see its full appearance, only a corner of it, naturally seeing only one wall.
And even after seeing the realm sea barrier.
It still took everyone ten years of sailing to reach it.
Within chaos, space was disordered.
What appeared to be right before one's eyes could actually be billions upon billions of light-years away.
Thus, in chaos, there was also the saying of "a foot away being as distant as the horizon."
When the fifty-plus people arrived at the realm sea barrier, they could see countless chaotic energies crashing against the realm sea barrier, only to be blocked, absorbed, and integrated into the interior of the realm sea by the rule dao patterns on the barrier.
The realm sea was growing constantly at every moment.
Therefore, experts who had left realm seas all knew one falsehood - realm seas never truly perish completely. Each cycle, for the realm sea itself, might just be a natural breath.
And the destruction of all things caused by cycles, for the realm sea, was instead a method to refine essence and elevate its fundamental nature.
"Let's go!"
"After entering, begin investigating the forces throughout the realm sea, find forces to join, gradually replace the higher echelons' power, and ultimately, under our guidance, have them war against each other to destroy the realm sea. During this process, we must find the person the True Lord is seeking!"
Yuan Yuan commanded.
"Yes!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Then, the fifty-five people, following the inhalation of the realm sea barrier, instantly entered the interior of the realm sea.
In the blink of an eye, the fifty-five people were thrown to various places throughout the realm sea by the realm sea barrier, all scattered apart.
Yuan Yuan only felt his realm inexplicably suppressed somewhat, directly dropping to the early stage of the Hunyuan Tai Chi realm!
He raised his head, looking with surprise at the great dao will of the Immortal-Demon Realm Sea.
"Strange, is the great dao will of this realm sea so powerful? This is a realm sea that has previously produced Wuji realm experts!"
In that instant, Yuan Yuan understood that the waters of this realm sea ran a bit deep.
