Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” - Chapter 536: The Doubts of the Taichu Sacred Hall’s Special Envoy
At this moment, far away at the headquarters of the True Knowledge Dao Court, the True Knowledge Dao Lord was receiving a guest from another land.
“Envoy, I understand your proposal, but as you also know, the Seven Stars Dao Sovereign has now become a quasi-Dominator, possessing immense power. Asking me to contain or monitor the Seven Stars Dao Court is simply beyond my capabilities!”
The True Knowledge Dao Lord looked at the young man before him, his tone carrying an unmistakable refusal.
“No matter how strong this ‘Seven Stars’ is, can he compare to our Taihao Holy Hall?” the young man said calmly.
He subtly revealed a sliver of his aura for the True Knowledge Dao Lord to sense.
The True Knowledge Dao Lord was surprised to discover that this young man before him had already comprehended a trace of an eighteenth-order Fused Dao Principle. Although it was only a ten-thousandth fraction, and he was still incredibly far from fully mastering the Fused Dao Principle and stepping into the quasi-Dominator realm, just having made this beginning meant that achieving the quasi-Dominator realm in the future was now within sight.
The young man gave a light smile. “I was once stuck at the seventeenth-order Fused Dao Principle just like you, unable to advance for the longest time. But I exchanged a massive amount of contribution points at the Dao Court for a full one hundred pieces of Chaos Jade Marrow, and finally comprehended a trace of the eighteenth-order Fused Dao Principle!”
Hearing this, the True Knowledge Dao Lord’s face revealed envy. “Truly worthy of the Taihao Holy Hall, to be able to produce a full one hundred pieces of Chaos Jade Marrow!”
“What’s a hundred pieces of Chaos Jade Marrow? In the future, as I make more contributions, I can obtain even more!”
The young man continued calmly, “Now, what do you think of this task? If you just help the Taihao Holy Hall contain or observe the Seven Stars Dao Court, giving you ten, twenty, or even fifty pieces of Chaos Jade Marrow in the future is not a problem at all!”
His tone was filled with absolute confidence. The Taihao Holy Hall could be called the number one power in the Taihao Chaos, a force established by the Taihao Dominator himself. Although contact with the Taihao Dominator had been lost for countless years, it still possessed formidable foundational strength.
Its stockpile of Chaos Jade Marrow was one such asset.
The True Knowledge Dao Lord’s heart stirred.
He wasn’t far from the eighteenth-order Fused Dao Principle either, though this ‘not far’ might still require countless eons to cross. But with sufficient Chaos Jade Marrow as aid—say, thirty or forty pieces—the probability of him comprehending a trace of the eighteenth-order Fused Dao Principle would increase dramatically!
“This matter… could you allow me some time to consider it further?” the True Knowledge Dao Lord pondered for a moment, not rushing to make a decision.
The Seven Stars Dao Court was clearly becoming a behemoth. Even merely observing its movements from the sidelines would be an extremely dangerous affair!
Therefore, he didn’t want to decide hastily. It wouldn’t hurt to wait for the Great Elder to return from the Seven Stars Dao Court first.
The young man saw through the True Knowledge Dao Lord’s thoughts and said indifferently, “This opportunity was something I fought hard to secure for you. There are so many powers in this Chaos Kingdom. Besides you, others can also be chosen. So, I hope you will consider it carefully. I cannot give you much time!”
He stood up, preparing to leave.
At that moment, the Great Elder’s Avatar hurriedly rushed in, not even having time to announce himself!
His tone was filled with absolute confidence. The Taihao Holy Hall could be called the number one power in the Taihao Chaos, a force established by the Taihao Dominator himself. Although contact with the Taihao Dominator had been lost for countless years, it still possessed formidable heritage.
Seeing the Great Elder’s urgent expression, the True Knowledge Dao Lord coughed and transmitted a message, “We have a guest present! Great Elder! Please compose yourself!”
The Great Elder was taken aback and looked at the young man.
He calmed down but still rapidly transmitted, “Dao Lord, a major event has occurred!”
“What event?” the True Knowledge Dao Lord asked, puzzled.
The Great Elder directly transmitted his memories to the True Knowledge Dao Lord.
When the True Knowledge Dao Lord saw the one hundred and fifty pieces of Chaos Jade Marrow, his expression changed on the spot!
He completely failed to maintain his composure. And the subsequent benefits for subordinate forces made his eyes turn red with desire.
Hadn’t he been speaking so much with the envoy from the Taihao Holy Hall, speaking so earnestly and not daring to offend, all for the sake of Chaos Jade Marrow?
But now, a heaven-reaching channel was placed right before his eyes.
If he, like the Blood Moon Dao Court, submitted to the Seven Stars Dao Court, would he also gain access to this exchange qualification for Chaos Jade Marrow?
That was Chaos Jade Marrow! He could hardly imagine that someone would actually exchange it for Dao Yan Crystals. How much Chaos Jade Marrow must that person possess himself?
In this moment, he finally understood why the Seven Stars Dao Sovereign had broken through to the quasi-Dominator realm so quickly and could even rival Wudaizi.
This was absolutely propped up by a vast, ocean-like quantity of Chaos Jade Marrow!
His spirits soared, and his gaze turned toward the young man.
The young man frowned slightly. He suddenly sensed a clear change in the True Knowledge Dao Lord’s attitude.
The True Knowledge Dao Lord said expressionlessly, “My apologies, Envoy of Taihao. Please find someone more capable for your task. Our True Knowledge Dao Court is too small and simply cannot accomplish the envoy’s mission!”
The young man frowned. “What happened?”
The True Knowledge Dao Lord shook his head. “Nothing happened. This Sovereign must enter seclusion. Please forgive me, Envoy!”
The young man’s frown deepened. He was certain that something major must have happened to force the True Knowledge Dao Lord to change his mind so abruptly.
His gaze shifted to the Great Elder.
But the Great Elder remained silent at this moment, his face like a dead fish, not even glancing at the young man.
The young man took a deep look at the True Knowledge Dao Lord. “I hope you can assess the situation correctly!”
With that, he directly walked out of the grand hall and vanished into the distance in an instant.
Only then did the Great Elder look up and ask, “Dao Lord, who was he?”
The True Knowledge Dao Lord waved his hand. “Never mind him. I am setting off for the Seven Stars Dao Court immediately. You quickly stabilize the situation here!”
“Understood!” the Great Elder immediately nodded.
The True Knowledge Dao Lord soared into the sky. He went to the Dao Court’s treasury and collected all the treasures that could be quickly liquidated, along with nearly ninety-five percent of the Dao Yan Crystals. Then, using teleportation, he rushed toward the Seven Stars Dao Court.
Meanwhile, the young man, Huang Hao, immediately headed to the other Dao Courts surrounding the Seven Stars Dao Court.
However, to the young man’s surprise, every Dao Court he visited refused his task. Not a single one was willing to accept it, and their attitudes were extremely firm.
The true bodies of the Dao Court Lords were also absent from their courts, having all left, leaving only some Avatars or Incarnations behind.
He could guess that these people had all gone to the Seven Stars Dao Court.
“What in the world happened? What conditions did the Seven Stars Dao Court offer that could make these Dao Court Lords flock to it so eagerly?”
When he arrived outside the Blood Moon Dao Court, before he could even go to pay a visit, he noticed the changes in the Blood Moon Dao Court.
The center of the Fortune above the Dao Court was no longer the blood moon representing the Blood Moon Dao Court, but had taken the form of seven stars.
“The Blood Moon Dao Court has actually become a subordinate force?”
The young man was shocked and immediately realized the problem was serious.
Frowning, he recorded all this.
Then he returned once more to the area outside the True Knowledge Dao Court. There, he saw that the originally independent Fortune of the True Knowledge Dao Court had now quietly transformed into subordinate Fortune!
The True Knowledge Dao Court had actually, in such a short time, directly submitted to the Seven Stars Dao Court!
