Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk 'Work Hard, Rest Hard'-Chapter 529: The Battle with Wudaizi

Wudaizi walked alone through the black market, observing the Dao Principle architecture of the market.

He could tell that this black market had been opened by a quasi-Dominator, but it seemed they had only just entered the quasi-Dominator realm.

Having made his assessment, he sent a message inward, into the operational Dao Principles of the black market.

Su Yuan thus received a message.

[I am Wudaizi, master of the Wuliang Dao Court, successor of Dominator Wuyazi. I wish to meet with you, fellow Daoist, for a face-to-face discussion.]

Su Yuan directly transmitted a strand of intent, sending it through the air into Wudaizi's ear.

"Fellow Daoist Wudaizi, what is the matter? Please speak directly. At this moment, my body is indisposed, so a face-to-face meeting is unnecessary!"

Su Yuan's voice was faint and ethereal.

Wudaizi frowned slightly in his heart and said, "The Wuliang Dao Court wishes to form a strategic alliance with you, fellow Daoist. I can have cultivators from the Wuliang Dao Court stationed in your black market to accelerate its prosperity and greatly increase trading volume."

"Oh? What are the conditions?" Su Yuan asked calmly.

"I hope you, fellow Daoist, can intercept certain items slated for auction in advance for the Wuliang Dao Court. We can privately communicate and trade with the sellers, and we won't short you on the handling fee."

"In return, I am willing to pay the price of one hundred pieces of Chaos Jade Marrow! I believe you must know of the existence of Chaos Jade Marrow. It is a rare treasure within Chaos, with miraculous effects for comprehending Chaos Dao Principles!"

Wudaizi was extremely confident in his heart. The price of one hundred pieces of Chaos Jade Marrow was enough to tempt all quasi-Dominators in the world.

Such treasures were extremely rare in the outside world, only born in certain special Secret Realms and hidden places. The output from the Wuliang Dao Court was also very limited, with most being submitted to Dominator Wuyazi, leaving little for his own use.

Su Yuan secretly found it amusing. The so-called Chaos Jade Marrow was the Chaos Jade in his possession. He did indeed lack this item, but to offer a mere one hundred pieces as a transaction price was truly laughable.

He said directly, "I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Wudaizi. Stone Man King and Nation Lord Che Li have also approached me. To avoid offending either party, I cannot agree to your alliance."

In reality, Stone Man King and Nation Lord Che Li had not approached Su Yuan, but Su Yuan didn't believe Wudaizi would investigate this point. Even if he went to confirm with Stone Man King and Nation Lord Che Li in person, it would be useless. If the two said they didn't know, it could simply be interpreted as them not telling the truth.

Wudaizi's brow furrowed, and an unhappy expression appeared on his face.

"If you form an alliance with me, the benefits will not be lacking. If the condition of Chaos Jade Marrow is insufficient, you can state your own terms!"

Hearing this, Su Yuan was very indifferent. The current situation was one of competition between three parties, meaning the benefits he could obtain would be greater. If he only cooperated with one party, the benefits would undoubtedly decrease manyfold.

"Sorry, I do not agree," Su Yuan replied calmly.

Wudaizi calmed his emotions and said, "Then, please inform me of the seller information for that Ancient Zither. The auction price for that treasure is far higher than its actual value. That person has obtained a large sum of wealth they should not have, which is extremely unreasonable. I ask you, fellow Daoist, to provide the buyer's information."

Hearing this, the corner of Su Yuan's mouth lifted. "Sorry, seller information is confidential. That is the rule of the black market!"

Wudaizi's face completely turned cold. "It seems you, fellow Daoist, wish to make an enemy of the Wuliang Dao Court! You disagree with this, you disagree with that. Do you know you are refusing a major power backed by a Dominator!"

Clearly, Wudaizi was already very angry.

Su Yuan did not respond. He felt there was no longer a need to respond.

Having failed to achieve his goals, Wudaizi decided to take action.

Having lost a large sum of funds, the Wuliang Dao Court would inevitably be at a disadvantage in subsequent item auctions. Therefore, no matter what, Wudaizi had to obtain benefits from the black market's owner. Otherwise, in this contest, there would be no need to compete in this round.

Wudaizi stomped down heavily with immense force. A terrifying power shot directly to the core of the black market. This strike of his contained the terrifying power of the Chaos Great Dao, possessing extremely potent destructive force!

In that instant, Stone Man King and Che Li, who were idly strolling in the black market, simultaneously sensed the commotion from Wudaizi's location and looked over.

They hadn't expected that Wudaizi would actually take action against the owner of this black market.

"Hmph!"

A cold snort sounded out of thin air near Wudaizi.

Wudaizi's attack was enveloped by invisible Chaos power, rapidly dissipating into nothingness. Then, a Chaos domain enveloped Wudaizi, carrying him away from the black market's vicinity.

By the time Wudaizi reacted, he had already been brought to a point in the sky millions of light-years away.

Stone Man King and Che Li exchanged a glance. The two of them also instantly vanished from the black market, chasing after Wudaizi.

When they arrived near the scene, they saw two figures engaged in fierce combat within a Chaos domain opened in mid-air!

Wudaizi condensed a war blade. Eighteen Dao Principles fused together, forming a Chaos war blade possessing ultimate attack power and destructive force.

Wudaizi swung this blade with immense confidence.

In that instant, he successfully connected with his Little Chaos. His Little Chaos, which had undergone thirty-seven evolutions, was incomparably vast. The Chaos Dao Intent channeled onto the war blade was also astonishingly powerful.

With this slash, even Nothingness was cleaved apart.

Su Yuan, meanwhile, also condensed a sword. The appearance of this sword was identical to the Heaven-Splitting Divine Sword of the Seven Stars Divine Demon.

This war sword was formed from one thousand pieces of Chaos Jade, containing vast Chaos Origin.

This was a quasi-Dominator artifact, also bearing Su Yuan's twelve Fused Dao Principles.

Su Yuan also connected with his Little Chaos, channeling Chaos Dao Intent onto the sword.

The two sides exchanged a blow within the Chaos domain.

The overwhelming dominance Wudaizi had anticipated did not materialize. After their attacks collided, both were forced back. Their attacks were remarkably evenly matched!

A flash of astonishment passed through Wudaizi's heart. Refusing to believe it, he continued to slash out with his blade.

Within the blade light, Chaos true intent flowed ceaselessly.

However, the war blade condensed by Wudaizi was not a true quasi-Dominator artifact; it was merely a construct condensed from his Chaos Great Dao.

Su Yuan possessed Creative Power. He had truly forged a twelve-element Fused Dao Treasure. Under the scouring of his Little Chaos's origin, the Heaven-Splitting Divine Sword had completely transformed into a quasi-Dominator artifact, providing Su Yuan with a massive combat power boost.

After another exchange, Wudaizi and Su Yuan were still evenly matched!

A flicker of regret passed through Su Yuan's eyes. He had not invoked the power of his word tags because three Dominators were nearby. If he used the word tags and was discovered by a Dominator, it would be problematic.

Therefore, he only utilized his own comprehension of the Chaos Great Dao and the origin power boost from his Little Chaos, aided by the Heaven-Splitting Divine Sword. This allowed his combat power to actually match that of Wudaizi, who possessed eighteen-order Fused Dao Principles and had been immersed in the quasi-Dominator realm for many years. The fight was a draw.

He himself was also surprised.
