Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” Chapter 532: Usurping Another’s Nest and Taking Control of the Dao Court

Guardian Little Star spoke up at this juncture, "Acting Manager, we have just obtained intelligence. Representatives from various Dao Courts, encompassing the Blood Moon Dao Court, the True Knowledge Dao Court, the Five Colors Dao Court, and several others, have all submitted visiting cards, expressing a desire to pay a visit to our Miluo Dao Court."

Gu Qingzhu was visibly taken aback, "Such a multitude of Dao Courts are arriving this promptly?"

Little Star remarked with visible excitement, "Lord Qingzhu, are you aware of the significance of ranking third?"

"Oh? Do enlighten me," requested Gu Qingzhu.

"I gathered from Lord Miluo that those individuals positioned within the top ten of the Dao Venerable Chaos Purple-Gold List have, in all likelihood, ascended to the quasi-Dominator rank. These entities have achieved a perfect synthesis of their Dao Principles and have successfully established their own Little Chaos; they are merely awaiting the natural expansion of these structures before they initiate the transition into a full-fledged Chaos Dominator. Since Lord Seven Stars holds a top-three ranking, he has indubitably attained the quasi-Dominator stage. His prowess is already beyond comprehension!"

Gu Qingzhu drew a sharp breath, "Summon Lord Miluo Dao Lord back. I lack the stature to facilitate visits from dignitaries of other Dao Courts at this moment."

"Understood!"

Little Star immediately initiated contact with the Miluo Dao Lord.

Floating above the Nine Extreme Treasure Star, the Miluo Dao Lord, who was engrossed in the pursuit of rare treasures, received Little Star’s transmission.

Upon absorbing the entirety of the message, her form locked in mid-air as she surveyed the revelation with sheer astonishment.

She pivoted toward Su Yuan, who stood nearby, and questioned him with palpable bewilderment, "You... precisely when did you engage in conflict with Wudaizi? Have you not been by my side throughout this entire period?"

Su Yuan gave a casual shrug, "That was merely one of my Avatars!"

The Miluo Dao Lord’s countenance betrayed her complicated emotions, "You have truly attained the quasi-Dominator realm?"

"More or less. Has this information already permeated elsewhere?" Su Yuan countered.

"Permeated? The entirety of the Chaos is currently abuzz with news of your situation!" exclaimed the Miluo Dao Lord in disbelief.

Su Yuan shrugged once more, "It is hardly a significant occurrence. I was already hovering at the precipice of the twelfth order. Achieving the Twelfth-order Fused Dao Principle now is quite a logical progression, would you not agree?"

The Miluo Dao Lord scanned him with profound shock, "You were capable of dueling Wudaizi without surrendering any advantage. You must have achieved that twelfth-order breakthrough far earlier. Tell me... what is your underlying motive for aligning yourself with my Miluo Dao Court?"

Su Yuan dismissed her concern with a wave of his hand, "Dismiss such notions. The Miluo Dao Court has been of immense utility to me!"

"Have you never entertained the thought of abandoning the Dao Court? I would pose no opposition—not that I could prevent you even if I desired to!" the Miluo Dao Lord admitted.

"Haha, speak your mind plainly, Miluo Dao Lord!" Su Yuan laughed.

The Miluo Dao Lord locked eyes with Su Yuan and declared, "Since your current strength has vastly transcended my own, I intend to yield the position of Dao Court Lord unto you!"

Su Yuan was momentarily stunned, "You truly wish to confer the Miluo Dao Court upon me?"

"Indeed. It is not limited to the authority of the institution; I am prepared to rename the Dao Court from Miluo Dao Court to the Seven Stars Dao Court immediately," asserted the Miluo Dao Lord.

She lingered for a moment, then added, "By doing so, I shall be free to devote my focus entirely to secluded cultivation to seek a further breakthrough!"

Su Yuan was left speechless, "You harbor a desire to enter seclusion for a breakthrough, and so do I! You should retain this station for your own benefit!"

The Miluo Dao Lord gestured dismissively, "The capable ascend, while the weak decline. The disparity between our strengths is too profound. A Dao Court’s prestige is secured solely through power. As you are my superior in strength, all will inevitably look to your command, not mine. Consequently, it is pragmatic for you to assume the role of Dao Court Lord. The entirety of the Dao Court’s wealth would then fall under your administration."

At first, Su Yuan was reluctant, finding the prospect somewhat tedious.

However, the revelation that the total wealth of the Dao Court would be under his control sparked a sudden interest.

The assets of such a Dao Court were vast. If he could manage those resources directly, he could compound his gains by several, if not dozens of times.

Assuming the role of Dao Court Lord actually seemed like a strategic move. Su Yuan’s resolve began to waver.

"Very well, I shall assume temporary control of the Miluo Dao Court. Allow me to manage the wealth of the Dao Court to facilitate my own advancement. Upon reaching the level of a Chaos Dominator, I will restore the position of Dao Court Lord to you!"

The Miluo Dao Lord waved her hand, "That necessity will not arise. By that juncture, you may simply transfer the title to Gu Qingzhu. The Dao Court itself holds no significance for me!"

Having spoken, the Miluo Dao Lord wasted no time in issuing her directives. Firstly, she rechristened the Miluo Dao Court as the Seven Stars Dao Court. Subsequently, she broadcasted an edict to every member, declaring her abdication and Su Yuan’s succession to the throne of Dao Court Lord.

The Miluo Dao Lord operated with startling urgency. With such decisive execution, the leadership of the Dao Court shifted in an instant!

The tidings echoed throughout the entire realm, leaving Gu Qingzhu, who was occupied with daily administrative tasks, utterly shocked.

Su Yuan couldn't help but rub his forehead, disbelief evident in his gesture. Just like that, the entire Dao Court had been surrendered to him?

The Miluo Dao Lord had spent countless ages cultivating this Dao Court. Yet, she relinquished it with such ease. The windfall for him was simply astronomical.

Regarding this development, even Su Yuan, who commanded the Causality Dao Principle, could perceive an intensely thick and elongated line of causality tethering him to the Miluo Dao Lord.

Su Yuan furrowed his brow, sensing a potential hidden peril.

Consequently, he set his thoughts to work, extracting materials to commence the refinement of a Fused Dao Treasure.

He intended to forge an Eighteenth-order Fused Dao Treasure calibrated to the Miluo Dao Lord's current level of Dao Principle comprehension.

Because the Miluo Dao Lord herself had yet to fuse that final Dao Principle required to fully manifest an Eighteenth-order Fused Dao Principle, no existing template was available to copy.

However, Su Yuan held mastery over the Wish Dao Principle.

Employing Chaos Jade as his foundation, Su Yuan began calculating an Eighteenth-order Fused Dao Principle tailored for the Miluo Dao Lord, leveraging the deep insights of the Wish, Time, Fate, and Fortune Dao Principles.

The Other Shore Dao Principle functioned as a versatile All-Purpose Dao Principle. For the Miluo Dao Lord to integrate this as the final anchor for her eighteenth fusion would be an exceptionally wise tactical choice.

Nevertheless, the act of fusion was notoriously demanding.

Su Yuan calculated incessantly. After depleting exactly two hundred and forty pieces of Chaos Jade, he finally succeeded in deriving an alternative version of the Eighteenth-order Fused Dao Principle.

He opted not to use the Other Shore Dao Principle, but rather the Bitter Sea Dao Principle as the capstone. This ensured the Miluo Dao Lord’s system attained flawlessness, successfully coalescing a trace of Chaos Dao Intent.

Once this path was mapped, Su Yuan utilized his Dominator of Will capability to manifest the power of an Eighteenth-order Fused Dao Principle from literal emptiness, subsequently crafting an Eighteenth-order Fused Dao Treasure.

After exhausting the necessary resources to complete the task, he produced the item and offered it to the Miluo Dao Lord.

"Given that you have bestowed the Dao Court upon me, I believe it only right to present you with a reward in return!"

Upon laying eyes on the artifact within Su Yuan’s grasp, a look of profound, unadulterated shock flashed across the face of the Miluo Dao Lord.
