Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” - Chapter 522: Changes in the Miluo Dao Court
The Guardian Spirit immediately accessed the latest information and quickly received news from the new independent space-time. Upon learning that Su Yuan had successfully fused eighteen-tier Dao Principles and comprehended a trace of Chaos Dao Intent, he immediately understood everything.
Gu Qingzhu had no idea that Guardian Spirit Little Star had accomplished so many things in an instant.
All he saw was that after receiving his command, Little Star directly transmitted a long list to him.
The sheer number of treasures on the list opened Gu Qingzhu’s eyes, making him realize just how rich the accumulated wealth of the Miluo Dao Court was!
For instance, the Civilization Atlas, which could help people comprehend Civilization Dao Principles and increase breakthrough probability by ten percent, was a treasure worth several hundred million Dao Yan Crystals.
And such treasures were stored in the treasury by the millions at the very least.
This was the foundation of a Dao Court, and this was just the collection of niche Dao Principles.
Gu Qingzhu believed there were even higher-level and better treasuries not yet open to him.
He immediately selected the treasures with the highest probability boost for the Dao Principles that Jinmao and the others intended to break through, then transmitted them one by one to the front of those individuals.
The Golden Fur King was breaking through inside the Heavenly Dao Platform. The Dao Principle he wanted to control was very ordinary, a branch of the Metal Dao Principle: the Firmness Dao Principle!
This was a very common Dao Principle, and similarly, no one wanted to master it.
If the Firmness Dao Principle were expanded to encompass all types, it would be one of the superior Dao Principles. However, being limited to the Firmness Dao Principle within the Metal Dao Principle made its limitations, scalability, and derivability far too poor.
Breaking through to become a Dao Venerable, one’s strength would be considered bottom-tier, with only defense being barely passable, essentially just a slightly meatier meat shield.
Although the Golden Fur King had already lowered his expectations to the minimum, the difficulty of mastering this Dao Principle still exceeded his expectations. He had a premonition that this breakthrough attempt was ninety-nine percent likely to fail.
And at this moment, a metal plate materialized out of thin air before him.
Gu Qingzhu’s voice also sounded in his ear.
“This is the breakthrough resource I’m investing in you: a piece of Heaven’s Limit Binding Metal. This is the hardest metal in Chaos, usable for refining various treasures, but it can also help you master the Firmness Dao Principle. I hope you can use it to break through! Once you break through, you must repay double the value in equivalent treasures. If you agree, take this item!”
Gu Qingzhu’s calm tone rang out.
The Golden Fur King’s expression lit up with joy. Without a second word, he grabbed the metal plate and immediately began refining it.
Seeing this, Gu Qingzhu nodded in satisfaction.
He wasn’t giving them resources for free; they had to be repaid, regardless of whether they had the ability to do so.
Moreover, if they ultimately failed to break through, this item could be recovered, so it wasn’t a waste.
After the Golden Fur King absorbed the metal plate into his body, he discovered that the interior of the plate inherently contained the Metal Firmness Dao Principle. The Dao Patterns inside each described the great Dao truths of the Metal Firmness Dao Principle!
He immediately sank into a deep level of contemplation, unable to extricate himself.
It wasn’t just him; Taiyi and the others also received investments from Gu Qingzhu.
Because they were acquaintances, Gu Qingzhu was extremely generous, providing the highest success rates. He hoped these individuals could break through one after another, to build momentum for his plan.
Perseverance pays off.
Under the ten-million-fold time acceleration inside the Heavenly Dao Platform, the Golden Fur King spent several billion years and was the first to master the Metal Firmness Dao Principle.
The sky once again stirred with ripples, shaking the entire Miluo Dao Court.
A golden banner once again appeared in the sky, drawing everyone’s attention.
[Announcement: Warm congratulations to our Dao Court disciple Jinmao for breaking through to the Dao Venerable Realm, mastering the Metal Firmness Dao Principle, joining the Elder Council, and enjoying Dao Court stipends. He is the second crowdfunding disciple from the Crowdfunding Hall to successfully break through to Dao Venerable. All investors may proceed to the Crowdfunding Hall to claim fivefold returns!]
The appearance of this breakthrough information once again left everyone exclaiming in amazement.
“He broke through again! Where did this Jinmao come from?”
“It seems niche Dao Principles are easier to break through!”
“Breaking through with a lower-tier Dao Principle still makes one a Dao Venerable. Perhaps I should consider it!”
Many cultivators’ eyes gleamed, genuinely considering the possibility of niche Dao Principles.
It was at this moment.
The Dao Principles between heaven and earth stirred with ripples once more.
Another unfamiliar lower-tier Dao Principle had been mastered!
A golden banner once again appeared in the sky.
[Announcement: Warm congratulations to our Dao Court disciple Taiyi for advancing to the Dao Venerable Realm, mastering the Shadow Dao Principle. He is the third crowdfunding participant from the Crowdfunding Hall to break through a Dao Principle. Cultivators eligible for fivefold investment returns, please proceed to exchange resources.]
A single stone stirred up a thousand waves.
The counterattack of three ordinary disciples instantly left the entire Dao Court in awe.
Once, twice, but not a third time!
Once three appeared, this matter gained tremendous feasibility!
Many people immediately grew restless. Even before the golden banners faded, peak Dao Yan Realm cultivators quietly arrived at the Crowdfunding Hall to apply for crowdfunding.
However, most were still in a wait-and-see mode, and crowdfunding funds were handled very cautiously.
Thus, progress was extremely slow for each one. Many who called upon relatives, friends, disciples, and masters for joint investment still fell significantly short.
Just as this second wave of disciples wanting to taste the crab thought the crowdfunding would fail, they unexpectedly discovered fluctuations in the crowdfunding cash pool.
Upon closer inspection, they realized the Dao Court had undertaken most of the resource expenditure.
They unconditionally obtained priority for breakthroughs!
Moreover, they unexpectedly discovered they also gained the qualification to advance-draw treasures from the treasury.
This delighted the second wave of experimenters beyond measure.
After applying for vast amounts of resources, these individuals also immediately entered seclusion for their breakthroughs.
Time passed slowly.
Just five hundred years later, Dao Venerables began appearing like bamboo shoots after spring rain. Following the Zhuyuan Great Emperor, a total of thirteen Dao Venerables broke through!
This proportion was shockingly high.
Those cultivators who were just one step away from a breakthrough, after switching to either a niche or simpler Dao Principle, all quickly mastered a Dao Principle completely and advanced to Dao Venerable!
The emergence of so many Dao Venerables thoroughly ignited a massive wave of cultivators changing their main cultivation focus, riding the high enthusiasm of those who had already broken through to Dao Venerable.
Resources accumulated by the Dao Court over countless years were being consumed at a floodgate-release speed.
This scene even made the Guardian Spirit feel terror!
He felt the entire Dao Court had gone mad!
And after these Dao Venerables broke through, each one shouldered massive debts!
Feeling the pressure of these debts, the gazes of these Dao Venerables turned one after another toward the Nine Stars Land and the Nine Extreme Treasure Star within it.
The newly promoted Dao Venerables of the Miluo Dao Court urgently needed treasures to repay their debts. Otherwise, exceeding the deadline would incur interest!
