Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” - Chapter 534: The Envoy Arrives, A Huge Gift List
Miluo Heavenly Palace.
Su Yuan took the main seat.
Beside him, Gu Qingzhu was trembling with excitement.
“Patriarch! You are truly too powerful!”
Su Yuan laughed heartily, “Old Gu, don’t get so excited. I’m just one step ahead of you. You too can reach this realm in the future.”
The corner of Gu Qingzhu’s mouth twitched. “I know my own limits. The quasi-Dominator level is far too distant for me.”
“Time is infinite. With my help, you will reach it one day, sooner or later!” Su Yuan said calmly. “If you don’t believe in yourself, do you not believe in me?”
Hearing this, Gu Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, a strange light flashing in his eyes. Yes, even if he didn’t believe in himself, how could he not believe in Su Yuan?
Thinking back to the past, he was once just a minor sect leader at the Nascent Soul stage. How could he have imagined reaching the heights he has today?
If that’s the case, then becoming a quasi-Dominator in the future wasn’t impossible either!
Suddenly, Gu Qingzhu’s heart began to yearn for the quasi-Dominator realm.
“Work hard. The greater your contributions, the more benefits I can bestow upon you!” Su Yuan patted Gu Qingzhu’s shoulder, lavishly painting a grand future for him.
Gu Qingzhu nodded excitedly in agreement.
On both sides of the great hall, many Dao Venerable elders were present. Watching the interaction between the two above, they were filled with envy.
They all envied how Gu Qingzhu could communicate so intimately with Su Yuan, who was at the quasi-Dominator realm. No wonder Gu Qingzhu could become the Acting Manager.
At that moment, someone hurried in from outside.
“Reporting to the Dao Lord, the envoys from the ten Dao Courts are waiting outside the hall!”
“Let them enter,” Su Yuan said calmly.
“Yes!”
Thus, at the entrance of the great hall, cultivators with astonishing cultivation levels stepped in one by one.
Among the ten who entered, the weakest was a Fourteenth-order Fusion Dao Venerable, and the strongest was a Seventeenth-order Fusion Dao Venerable. They were all top-tier powerhouses from the various major Dao Courts. Some were even the Dao Court Lords themselves who had come in person.
The Blood Moon Dao Lord of the Blood Moon Dao Court was one of them. He looked at Su Yuan at the head of the hall with a complex expression. This cultivator he hadn’t paid much attention to before had now grown to a height he had to look up to.
The most troublesome part was that the Blood Moon Dao Court had secretly acted against Su Yuan before. Although it wasn’t a direct confrontation, it was easy to guess it was their handiwork. Now things were much more complicated. After much consideration, he had decided to come in person this time.
Su Yuan looked at the crowd and quietly released the [Great Power Bearing] entry. An immense, inconceivable will and pressure instantly enveloped the ten people.
In that instant, all the envoys wore expressions of shock and terror.
Even the Blood Moon Dao Lord, with his Seventeenth-order Fused Dao Principles, instantly lost control of his mind. The immense will directly assaulted his Origin Space, instantly suppressing his Origin Power!
All his Dao Principle power became useless, and his consciousness sank into the darkest nothingness.
In that moment, time seemed to stretch infinitely!
The Blood Moon Dao Lord frantically tried to awaken his own mind, resisting the immense will that felt like the pressure of the entire Chaos.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the Blood Moon Dao Lord regained his senses and regained control of his power.
But after waking, he realized it wasn’t that he had successfully resisted the immense will, but that the person at the head of the hall had already withdrawn his will and pressure.
Instantly, cold sweat drenched the Blood Moon Dao Lord’s back—a reaction he hadn’t experienced since he was a mere mortal.
Just moments ago, he had been completely suppressed by that pressure. The other party had only suppressed him for a single breath, yet it took him a full five breaths to recover.
That was more than enough time for someone to kill him countless times over.
And he was the first to regain consciousness. The remaining few regained their senses one after another, their faces filled with shock and terror. Some even lost their composure, retreating dozens of steps, or subconsciously activating their life-preserving methods.
‘Is the quasi-Dominator realm this formidable?’
This thought emerged in the minds of all the envoys.
This was also the Blood Moon Dao Lord’s first close-up experience of the power of the quasi-Dominator realm. He had originally thought that with his strength as a Seventeenth-order Fusion Dao Venerable, he shouldn’t be too far from the quasi-Dominator level. Moreover, Su Yuan had achieved quasi-Dominator with only Twelfth-order Fused Dao Principles, so the gap shouldn’t be that vast.
Now, experiencing it firsthand, the difference was like that between clouds and mud.
“If only I hadn’t taken this path back then, foolishly aiming for Eighteenth-order Fused Dao Principles. How arrogant I was! Achieving perfect fusion at the Twelfth order would have been plenty strong enough!” the Blood Moon Dao Lord sighed quietly.
Stimulated by this experience, these envoys immediately revised the terms they had prepared upward, feeling deep reverence and awe towards Su Yuan.
“Greetings, Seven Stars Dao Lord!”
The envoys exchanged glances and then bowed in unison towards Su Yuan.
“Hahaha!” Su Yuan laughed heartily. “You have all come from afar. Please, take your seats!”
With a wave of his hand, Su Yuan raised a row of seats for them to sit on.
The ten envoys sat down one by one, their expressions relaxing considerably.
Su Yuan said calmly, “Since the envoys from the various Dao Courts have arrived, this is a good time to inform everyone: the Miluo Dao Court is being renamed the Seven Stars Dao Court. I hope you will all take note!”
“Congratulations! Congratulations!” The Blood Moon Dao Lord and the others offered their felicitations with smiles.
The Blood Moon Dao Lord took the lead, saying, “To celebrate the renaming of the Seven Stars Dao Court, my Blood Moon Dao Court has come specially to present congratulatory gifts!!”
He held out a gift list with both hands, handing it to a cultivator beside him.
Nangong Xianweng took the list and announced in a clear voice, “The Blood Moon Dao Court congratulates the Seven Stars Dao Lord for taking over the Dao Court, presenting three congratulatory gifts: one giant mineral vein with reserves of eight thousand trillion trillion Dao Yan Crystals, ownership of five super marketplaces, and one hundred billion trillion Dao Yan Crystals!”
Everyone present couldn’t help but gasp, drawing in a breath of Chaotic Energy.
The other nine envoys all looked at the Blood Moon Dao Lord with horrified eyes.
The veteran elders of the Seven Stars Dao Court were also each shocked to the core.
The pure Dao Yan Crystals alone amounted to one hundred billion trillion. The value of the five super marketplaces could reach four to five thousand trillion trillion Dao Yan Crystals. Adding the giant mineral vein, the total was a staggering sum of over thirteen thousand trillion trillion Dao Yan Crystals!
Did the Blood Moon Dao Court not need to operate anymore? This was like contributing over half of their assets!
Even Su Yuan showed a look of surprise. Such a grand gift was rare indeed.
Originally, he had held some resentment towards the Blood Moon Dao Court in his heart, but now… he forgave them.
Such an enormous fortune, and the Blood Moon Dao Lord gave it away just like that. Extravagant! Too extravagant!
He even began to find the Blood Moon Dao Lord more pleasing to the eye. Not bad, not bad at all.
The Dao Yan Crystals alone could be converted into one hundred thousand Chaos Jades, enough for him to cultivate comfortably for a good while.
At this moment, the other envoys felt the weight of many expectant gazes upon them. Even Su Yuan was looking at them with anticipation.
Instantly, these envoys felt as if they were being roasted on an invisible spit. The gifts they had originally decided upon suddenly seemed utterly inadequate.
If their gifts paled too much in comparison to what the Blood Moon Dao Lord had offered, creating a stark contrast that displeased the Seven Stars Dao Court… they would be finished.
