Chapter 491: A Sudden Mission
“Insights on the fusion of Order and Chaos Dao Principles,” Su Yuan stated calmly.
The Miluo Dao Lord smiled faintly. “Just that?”
“Topped up with some Dao Yan Crystals is fine!”
Su Yuan did not make any other demands.
Although the Miluo Dao Lord displayed an extremely long Chaos rest period, he had no intention of revealing this secret in front of her.
“Very well. As part of the transaction, I will supplement you with an additional one hundred billion Dao Yan Crystals.”
The Miluo Dao Lord said magnanimously.
Su Yuan’s eyes flickered slightly. One Dao Yan Crystal was equivalent to ten thousand Dao Sources. This amounted to one quadrillion Dao Sources.
Back then, purchasing the Other Shore Ark seemed to have cost him only three trillion Dao Sources.
“Deal!”
Su Yuan took out the Other Shore Ark and handed it over to the Miluo Dao Lord.
Naturally, the Miluo Dao Lord also handed over the insights and resources to Su Yuan.
Their transaction proceeded very smoothly.
The Miluo Dao Lord sensed a slight disturbance of Transaction Dao Principle power, seemingly intending to extract a portion of Transaction Power from her.
She naturally did not prevent it.
Thus, after completing this transaction, Su Yuan once again obtained an additional one hundred billion Dao Yan Crystals out of thin air.
This double harvest highlighted the heaven-defying nature of the Transaction Dao Principle.
The Miluo Dao Lord toyed with the Other Shore Ark in her hand, already planning to enter seclusion for a good period of time to contemplate it.
Suddenly, her brows furrowed slightly as she looked outside the Dao Court.
Su Yuan looked at her with confusion. As a Seventeenth-Order Dao Venerable, what matter could possibly cause her to show such an expression? And she deliberately revealed it in front of him?
Sure enough.
The Miluo Dao Lord spoke again. “Just now, a certain force made a move, inciting many Chaos Demon Venerables to invade Independent Space-Time No. 17. Coincidentally, the defenses there are currently weak and require a powerful expert to go suppress them!”
She looked at Su Yuan. “Why don’t you go and take charge of the defense? It would also be a chance to display your combat prowess.”
Su Yuan raised an eyebrow. “Now?”
“Precisely!” The Miluo Dao Lord nodded.
Su Yuan’s expression paused for a moment before he said, “Alright!”
A thought suddenly occurred to him. His comprehension of fusing Dao Principles had always been done behind closed doors. Perhaps he could find someone to spar with, test his cultivation ideas, and maybe even find a method for fusion.
Thinking of this, he accepted the Miluo Dao Lord’s appointment.
Moreover, this was not unpaid labor; there were also contribution rewards.
Su Yuan’s true body stepped out from the Seven Stars Dao Palace, arriving at the Miluo Heavenly Palace in a single step and entering the Chaos Space-Time teleportation array.
With a flash of light, Su Yuan’s figure instantly vanished.
When he reappeared, he was already in a void.
A city was anchored within the void, guarded by a large number of cultivators inside, all elite cultivators of the Dao Court.
Su Yuan’s sudden appearance on the teleportation array immediately drew the attention of the guards.
“Identity token!”
Several attacks locked onto Su Yuan.
Su Yuan directly took out two tokens.
One was a Dao Venerable Elder Token, the other was an appointment token.
When the guard cultivators saw Su Yuan’s appointment token, they all revealed looks of shock.
“Subordinates pay respects to the Garrison Commander!”
Everyone knelt in unison.
Su Yuan gave a slight nod.
He waited in place for a single breath.
Three cultivators then appeared out of thin air.
The cultivation realms of the three had all reached the Dao Venerable level, though the highest was only a Sixth-Order Dao Venerable, and the weakest was even only a Third-Order.
“Kuluo/Xue Jian/Zhou Xing, pay respects to the Seven Stars Garrison Commander!”
The three Dao Venerables saluted in unison.
Su Yuan glanced at them. “You are all Deputy Garrison Commanders, I presume.”
“Indeed!”
“Brief me on the situation of this independent space-time,” Su Yuan said.
Dao Venerable Kuluo stepped forward and explained, “In this independent space-time, our Dao Court occupies an area equivalent to half a Chaos Kingdom. The other half is occupied by the Blood Moon Dao Court.”
He pointed in a direction within the void. “There exists a lot of Void Black Mist here, which can corrode a Dao Venerable’s origin and obscure their perception. Our main garrison objective is to eliminate the Chaos Demon Venerables that emerge from the Void Black Mist!”
Su Yuan quickly grasped the general situation.
This independent space-time was called the Black Demon Mist Sea. It produced a special mineral, Black Demon Crystal, which had the effect of tempering a Dao Venerable’s willpower and could enhance their perception.
Currently, this city guarded the largest Void Black Mist within the territory. The Black Demon Crystal deposits here were also the largest, accounting for seventy percent of the entire territory. However, this was also the most dangerous place, as Chaos Demon Venerables often charged out from the Void Black Mist.
Looking at the calm, undisturbed Void Black Mist in the distance, he realized the danger had not yet arrived.
This did not match what the Miluo Dao Lord had said.
“This is… foreseeing the future?”
Su Yuan immediately reacted.
Kuluo then also asked, “Garrison Commander, have you come now for a permanent posting or a temporary visit?”
“I just received an order from the Dao Lord to come and reinforce the defense of this place!” Su Yuan stated.
Kuluo was stunned. He exchanged a glance with Xue Jian and Zhou Xing.
They immediately understood Su Yuan’s meaning and then split off billions of avatars to begin deploying defensive measures.
Seeing this, Su Yuan nodded. “Good. You handle things first. If any powerful beings attack, I will intervene!”
“Yes!”
The three responded in unison.
Su Yuan was directly ushered into a luxurious cultivation chamber.
Meanwhile, the massive city quickly sprang into action, beginning to strengthen its defenses.
On the other side.
Within the void, five Dao Venerables were lingering at the edge of the Void Black Mist.
One of them suddenly said, “The Miluo Dao Court has reacted. They’ve already begun setting up defenses!”
“Truly terrifying. We haven’t even acted yet, and the outcome of our action has already been predicted,” someone said gloomily.
“That one is a Seventeenth-Order Dao Venerable. Having this ability is normal. Our Dao Lord has also predicted that the one defending this time will not be that person participating, but a Dao Venerable newly joined to the Dao Court. Our goal is to pressure the Miluo Dao Court once and simultaneously test the strength of that newly joined Seven Stars Dao Venerable!”
“An Eleventh-Order Dao Venerable! Tsk tsk, could it possibly be an Eleventh-Order Fusion Dao Venerable?” someone suddenly remarked.
The person beside him laughed. “How could that be? All Eleventh-Order Fusion Dao Venerables are known figures. How could one suddenly appear out of nowhere? Even if it really is an Eleventh-Order Fusion Dao Venerable, the Dao Court has long been prepared. Don’t worry!”
The five Dao Venerables conversed for a moment, then took out an incense candle.
One of them, looking pained, lit the incense candle. A hazy, fragrant smoke immediately began to diffuse.
The Void Black Mist immediately began to churn, and faint, indistinct roars could be vaguely heard.
Without hesitation, the five headed towards the direction of the Miluo Dao Court.
Merely five breaths after they disappeared, a massive black shadow immediately emerged from the black mist. It had hundreds of tentacles covered in eyes. At its center was a black fleshy sphere, with a giant mouth splitting open a large fissure in the middle of the sphere, inside which seemed to be an endless abyss.
With a wave of its tentacles, it chased after the direction of the incense’s fragrance. The giant mouth devoured that fragrant smoke, and its power faintly increased by a tiny bit.
