Chapter 505: Gu Qingzhu Takes Charge
Gu Qingzhu sat in the main seat of the Miluo Dao Court, feeling utterly uneasy, as if sitting on pins and needles.
Above him, both the Miluo Dao Lord and Su Yuan were observing Gu Qingzhu.
"Have me manage the Miluo Dao Court on your behalf? I really can't do it!"
He looked up at the sky, once again revealing a helpless expression.
However, no one responded to him. The Miluo Dao Lord said to Su Yuan, "You have done very well, securing a vast territory within the new independent space-time!"
Su Yuan smiled faintly and said, "This is the result of everyone's combined efforts. I only did some insignificant things."
The Miluo Dao Lord said calmly, "Your contributions, this Sovereign naturally sees them. You may go to the deepest treasury of the Dao Court and obtain any one item as a reward!"
Upon hearing this, Su Yuan showed a slight smile. "Thank you for the reward, Dao Lord!"
The Miluo Dao Lord gave a slight nod, then finally looked at Gu Qingzhu, revealing a smile as she said, "This disciple of yours is very suitable for managing the Dao Court. This way, this Sovereign will be much more relaxed."
Su Yuan shook his head and said, "He is not my disciple. However, he has always been doing the work of a sect leader and has some achievements in managing forces!"Gu Qingzhu was speechless. Could you two hear what he was saying?
"Mmm, this Sovereign will go into seclusion to comprehend the Other Shore Dao Principle. Unless there is important business, do not disturb this Sovereign!"
"I wish the Miluo Dao Lord a smooth breakthrough!" Su Yuan said.
"It's in your hands now!"
After saying this, the Miluo Dao Lord's figure directly dissipated.
Su Yuan then looked at Gu Qingzhu and said, "Do a good job!"
After saying this, he also vanished.
Only Gu Qingzhu was left, staring blankly at the sky.
"They just entrusted the management of such a massive Dao Court to me so casually?"
He was utterly speechless.
Taking out a mirror to look at himself, Gu Qingzhu nodded in understanding.
He was merely a First-Order Dao Venerable. Actually seizing power was impossible, so he could only play the role of a steward—it was just that the territory he was managing was a bit too large!
What gave him a headache was how to manage the powerful cultivators.
Among the Dao Venerable Elders, he estimated he could only mobilize the low-tier ones. The high-tier ones, out of respect for Patriarch Su, might not say anything, but feigning compliance while acting contrary was a very likely scenario.
He stretched out his hand and pressed it on the void space in front of him.
An operation panel materialized before him.
Beside the panel, a small kitten appeared out of thin air, tilting its head as it looked at him.
[Respected Acting Manager, I am the Dao Court Guardian Spirit, Little Star. May I ask what your instructions are?]
"Tell me the relevant information about the Dao Court!" Gu Qingzhu immediately said.
[At your service!]
A large amount of information unfolded before Gu Qingzhu's eyes, revealing many secrets of the Miluo Dao Court one by one.
The territory occupied by the Miluo Dao Court within the Chaos was not large, only one-tenth the size of a Chaos Kingdom. It had established nine Miluo Markets distributed throughout its Chaos territory. Firstly, to suppress all directions, and secondly, because beside these markets were resources such as mineral deposits, orchards, and Secret Realms.
Apart from the territory within the Chaos, the Dao Court's larger territory lay within the independent space-times.
The combined territory from the original seventeen independent space-times exceeded the scope of eleven Chaos Kingdoms, producing vast amounts of resources.
Now, having occupied part of the eighteenth independent space-time, the occupied area reached seven Chaos Kingdom regions. Added together, it just reached the scope of eighteen Chaos Kingdoms!
"How big, exactly, is one Chaos Kingdom?"
Gu Qingzhu checked. It was simple: the range controlled by a Dao Venerable's Dao Principle was the scope of a Chaos Kingdom.
This shocked Gu Qingzhu immensely. He had only felt that his Dao Principle's coverage range was boundless. Now he realized that even a Dao Venerable's control over Dao Principles had a defined range.
Now, regarding the Dao Court's cultivators.
The number of disciples within the Dao Court was beyond countless billions upon billions upon billions. Not to mention cultivators, even worlds like the God Realm Sea were innumerable, leaving Gu Qingzhu astonished.
However, for such a terrifying Dao Court force, the number of Dao Venerables had previously only reached 148. Even including puppets, slaves, Supreme Treasures, Rare Treasures, etc., possessing Dao Venerable-level strength, the maximum was only four to five hundred.
This left Gu Qingzhu very puzzled.
The Dao Court's strength was indeed immense to an unbelievable degree.
But Gu Qingzhu felt the Dao Court's development was still too poor.
After all, currently, the Seven Stars Dao Palace already had over ten Dao Venerables. By comparison, the Dao Court's development seemed far too lacking.
"Clearly, the Dao Court has so many cultivators in the Dao Yan Realm. Why is producing Dao Venerables so difficult?"
"Since I've been entrusted to manage the Dao Court, I should at least achieve some accomplishments."
Gu Qingzhu felt eager and ready to try.
He felt he could unleash the Dao Court's potential.
"Little Star, randomly select one hundred peak Dao Yan Realm cultivators and issue a questionnaire survey, asking them about the difficulties and obstacles they face in breaking through to the Dao Venerable Realm, as well as the help they hope to receive!"
"Randomly ask Dao Yan Realm disciples which realms or levels they often get stuck at, and generally what resources or help they need to break through?"
"Randomly sample Wuji Realm disciples, asking them about their difficulties and thoughts on breaking through to the Dao Yan Realm."
Gu Qingzhu immediately issued the orders.
[Respected Acting Manager, forming new commands now. Random selection completed. Issuing survey tasks now.]
The Guardian Spirit dutifully carried out the tasks assigned by Gu Qingzhu.
At this moment.
Outside the Heavenly Dao Platform, a peak Dao Yan Realm cultivator who was observing the breakthrough results suddenly found he had received a Dao Court task.
The Guardian Spirit's information was directly transmitted into his consciousness.
After receiving the information, this person was somewhat surprised. "When did the Dao Court gain an Acting Manager? So it's the newly ascended Bamboo Dao Venerable who broke through with the Heavenly Venerate Dao Principle. He's actually asking me about the difficulties of breaking through to Dao Venerable and what kind of help I need to achieve it?"
He curiously asked his friends beside him.
"Did any of you receive a message sent by the Guardian Spirit?"
"No, what message?"
"It's an inquiry about the difficulties of breaking through to Dao Venerable."
"Is that even a question? The hard part is accumulating resources!" someone said, speechless.
"True."
He casually filled in a few difficulties he had encountered, then completed the task. Since it was a task issued by the so-called Acting Manager, there was nothing to worry about. He could just write down any problems he had.
Gu Qingzhu waited for a while.
The Guardian Spirit then presented the compiled results to Gu Qingzhu.
One difficulty after another was listed before him, arranged from highest to lowest based on the number of times mentioned.
First were the peak Dao Yan Realm cultivators.
To Gu Qingzhu's surprise, he discovered the first difficulty was actually the limited quota for controlling Dao Principles!
"Even this has restrictions?"
The Guardian Spirit explained, "Acting Manager, the subsequent cultivation of Dao Venerables will involve the control of multiple Dao Principles. If the quota for Dao Principle control is opened up, it will prevent high-tier Dao Venerables from obtaining control quotas for Dao Principles, limiting the enhancement of their strength."
