Novel Full Chapter 504: Gu Qingzhu's Opportunity
“I am comprehending the Heavenly Venerate Dao Principle!”
“Huh?”
Little Cai doubted her own hearing!
“Heavenly Venerate Dao Principle!” Gu Qingzhu repeated.
“Heavenly Venerate, you?” Little Cai rolled her eyes.
“I manage the Seven Stars Sect, command countless billions of cultivators, the Seven Stars God Realm Sea is vast and boundless, I feel I am quite suited for this Heavenly Venerate Dao Principle!” Gu Qingzhu said with a trace of uncertainty.
Little Cai shook her head, almost wanting to laugh, and said bluntly, “I advise you to change to a different Dao Principle.”
“What Dao Principle?” Gu Qingzhu asked, puzzled.
“A simple one, the Backer Dao Principle!” Little Cai said.
“Backer Dao Principle? Does such a Dao Principle exist?” Gu Qingzhu exclaimed in shock.
“It naturally exists, though its formal name might not be this. It’s roughly similar to the meaning of subordinate, affiliate, and the like. Taking a master as the root, drawing nourishment, strong if the master is strong, weak if the master is weak!”
Little Cai explained.
Gu Qingzhu suddenly understood, “You mean, I should treat the Patriarch as my backer, rely on the Patriarch’s power to break through to the Dao Venerable level!”
Little Cai shook her head, “The gap between you and the Patriarch is too vast, you probably can’t succeed.”
“Then what should I do?” Gu Qingzhu frowned.
Little Cai pointed at herself, “I’ll reluctantly act as your backer!”
Gu Qingzhu’s eyes widened, “You?”
“Correct!” Little Cai said approvingly.
“Is this reliable?” Gu Qingzhu held a skeptical attitude.
“Relax, anyway, cultivating that Heavenly Venerate Dao Principle of yours definitely won’t lead to a breakthrough!”
Little Cai shrugged.
“Then shall we try?” Gu Qingzhu nodded.
“You try it, reverse the Heavenly Venerate Dao Principle!” Little Cai said.
Hearing this, Gu Qingzhu attempted to reverse-refine the Heavenly Venerate Dao Principle!
Originally, the Heavenly Venerate Dao Principle meant considering oneself as supreme, above heaven and below earth, only I reign supreme.
Now, reversing this method meant transforming oneself into an attachment of another, becoming another’s vassal.
This was practically destroying one’s own Dao foundation!
Originally at the peak of the Dao Yan Realm, after reverse-refining the Dao Principle, Gu Qingzhu’s realm directly collapsed, falling from the peak of the Dao Yan Realm straight down to the peak of the Wuji Realm.
Then, after comprehending a trace of the so-called Backer Dao Principle, he stepped back into the Dao Yan Realm.
And at this point, he needed to anchor an existence as his backer!
Without hesitation, he set the Little Cai before him as his backer!
A Dao Principle seal flew towards Little Cai.
Little Cai casually caught it and placed it within her own origin essence. From this moment on, she had gained a vassal, and she had become Gu Qingzhu’s backer!
Gu Qingzhu activated the Backer Dao Principle. Through an obscure connection, he drew an insignificant sliver of power from Little Cai into himself.
Thus, in the space of a breath, his Dao Principle surged explosively!
From the early stage of the Dao Yan Realm, with lightning speed, he once again rose to the peak of the Dao Yan Realm.
Reaching this step, Gu Qingzhu again confronted the bottleneck, still stuck here, unable to break through to Dao Venerable.
Gu Qingzhu was dumbfounded, “Su Si, I feel like I’ve been scammed! I still can’t break through to Dao Venerable! I can sense that unless you break through to a level above Tenth-Order Dao Venerable, I can obtain enough power to break through the bottleneck!”
Hearing this, Little Cai understood, “So that’s how it is!”
Gu Qingzhu’s eyes widened, “You didn’t know?”
“Of course I didn’t know, I haven’t cultivated this Dao Principle!” Little Cai shrugged.
“Then I’m finished!” Gu Qingzhu wore a look of depression.
“Do you think I can’t break through to Tenth-Order Dao Venerable?” Little Cai’s eyes widened.
“I’m currently on the Heavenly Dao Platform, with comprehension bonuses, plus the enhancement from the Chaos Flame, that’s why I only need the Tenth-Order Dao Venerable level to break through, otherwise it would probably be higher! This kind of Dao Principle is incredibly scammy!” Gu Qingzhu’s face was ashen.
“Oh, what about this then?”
Within Little Cai’s body, the power of a Twelfth-order Fused Dao Principle suddenly condensed!
This power was precisely the power Su Yuan had bestowed upon Little Cai. Although it was borrowed, in a sense, Little Cai was a Twelfth-order Dao Venerable!
Boom!
A hundred-millionth part of power spilled from Little Cai, transmitted into Gu Qingzhu’s body.
Gu Qingzhu instantly felt an inconceivable force rush into his body, fiercely impacting the entrenched bottleneck!
At this moment, borrowing the power of his backer, he forcibly broke into the Dao Venerable level!
The Backer Dao Principle immediately converged upon Gu Qingzhu.
At this moment, all Dao Principles and rule powers related to affiliation and subordination condensed within Gu Qingzhu’s body.
He condensed a Backer Dao Principle Origin Essence!
And the moment he condensed this origin essence, he was no longer reliant on someone else as a backer to increase his strength; he had become his own backer!
Gu Qingzhu even gained insight into a path within Chaos: taking oneself as the backer, making everything in the world an affiliate! If he could subsume all of Chaos as an affiliate, then the Backer Dao Principle would reach great completion, and achieving Chaos Dominator would be within sight!
The Backer Dao Principle and the Heavenly Venerate Dao Principle were actually just two sides of the same Dao Principle coin!
Understanding dawned in Gu Qingzhu’s heart.
He then comprehended another path within Chaos: relying on an existence surpassing the Chaos Dominator as a backer, he could forcibly step into the Chaos Dominator level himself!
This path was even more illusory and was quickly tossed aside by Gu Qingzhu.
Little Cai’s mouth hung open as she watched a Dao Venerable appear right before her eyes, alive and well. Her face was filled with disbelief.
“You actually really broke through?” Little Cai exclaimed in surprise.
Gu Qingzhu stepped down from the Heavenly Dao Platform. Seeing the genuine shock on Little Cai’s face that didn’t seem feigned, he felt a chill run down his spine!
“You… you weren’t just bluffing me earlier, were you?” Gu Qingzhu was shocked!
“No, absolutely not!” Little Cai immediately denied.
“I’m leaving, let’s talk another time!”
Little Cai directly ran off.
The corner of Gu Qingzhu’s mouth twitched, but considering he had indeed broken through, there was no need to delve deeper into the matter.
When he walked out of the barrier.
The first person he saw wasn’t the group of congratulating cultivators, but the Miluo Dao Lord.
Gu Qingzhu was taken aback, then respectfully bowed, “Greetings, Miluo Dao Lord!”
He had seen a portrait of the Miluo Dao Lord, so he recognized her at a glance.
The Miluo Dao Lord looked him up and down and said, “You have mastered the Heavenly Venerate Dao Principle?”
Gu Qingzhu nodded, “Indeed.”
The Backer Dao Principle was actually the Heavenly Venerate Dao Principle; he had realized this after his breakthrough.
The Miluo Dao Lord’s beautiful eyes brightened slightly, “In that case, you shall manage the Miluo Dao Court on my behalf from now on! It so happens this Sovereign needs to go into seclusion to comprehend Dao Principles.”
Hearing this, Gu Qingzhu was stunned, dumbfounded, “You… you’re not mistaken, are you? For a First-Order Dao Venerable like me to manage an entire Dao Court?”
“The Heavenly Venerate Dao Principle is most suited for becoming a manager; this is also your cultivation path. Now I give you this opportunity to manage the Miluo Dao Court on my behalf. Just ensure no major problems arise! If any trouble is stirred up, have your Patriarch step in to resolve it.”
The Miluo Dao Lord said with a light laugh.
“This… I need to discuss this with the Seven Stars Patriarch!” Gu Qingzhu said, somewhat apprehensive.
The Miluo Dao Lord looked towards the void, directly seeing Su Yuan, “What do you think?”
“Agreed!” Su Yuan responded.
