After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 176: Senior Sister Finally Grew a Conscience
Chapter 176: Chapter 176: Senior Sister Finally Grew a Conscience
Looking at his status, Gu An, although confused, discovered that his Poisoned status was not that serious.
Of course, there was still the collapse of his Qi-Blood.
Not only that, he also saw some blood-red markings appearing on his body.
All of this was caused by the collapse of Qi-Blood.
These blood-red markings started growing around his chest.
If they reached his heart, there would even be a risk to his life.
All the Magic he had learned, was completely useless for this.
On the contrary, the Poison on his body just kept fusing.
*He really had no idea what was going on.*
For now, it seemed to be extending his logging time.
But ten days or so, that was almost the limit.
He needed to wait for recovery.
If not, he truly could be in mortal danger.
Also, people from the Qingcheng Sect seemed like they would arrive in just a few days.
And the people of Team Two, they were also looking for a time for some elder to give a verdict.
It had been so many days, yet they didn’t seem to give up at all.
They insisted on making him pay a price.
If it weren’t for a recent assignment, maybe they’d already gone to see that elder.
While logging, Gu An suddenly sensed a reaction from the Ring of Destiny.
He checked immediately.
[Yesterday at noon, Tao Qinlian and her people failed in their negotiation with the other sects, and they were scolded by the Main Court.
They were told to give reasons and write a report. If their reasons weren’t sufficient, their quota for logging this time would be increased, and if not completed, half their Spirit Stones would be deducted.
Out of anger, they came up with an idea. They were short one person, and that person had been injured by you, so in the end the failure was blamed on your sudden attack.
However, Tao Qinlian had to perform a new coordination task in the coming days, so her senior brother would be the one to accuse you then.
To make sure everything went smoothly, she decided to leave a day early after the assignment came out, and then sneak back at night to let you experience the feeling of being bullied.
First, cripple your legs so you could feel what it was like to be disabled, then accuse you of disrupting the task.
Force you to compensate.
During future logging, they’d then cripple your hands.
After that, you’d be barely able to move, like a broken man.
Your arrogance during that interrogation had angered everyone.]
Staring at the feedback, Gu An stayed silent.
"Leaving a day early? And on her own?"
Gu An decided to observe her for the next few days, to figure out exactly which day she would leave.
After that, he continued logging.
Soon after, Gu An gained the last bit of points.
With that, he put down his axe and headed back to his place.
As soon as he entered the room, he released nine Red Armor Soldiers.
Then he started adjusting his status, and also took some Elixir Pills.
That way, he could recover as fast as possible.
That afternoon.
Gu An slowly opened his eyes.
He checked his body and saw the markings gradually fading away.
The Poisoned status was much improved.
He then started extracting points.
First, boost his cultivation.
After that, Gu An fell into a dream.
He started cultivation of the Innate Longevity Technique.
The cultivation technique was kind of monotonous.
He would sense the Innate Qi, then condense the Innate Qi.
Turn it into power.
Over and over.
Day after day, year after year.
Time became mingled in the process.
Stable, tranquil.
Until one day, having accumulated enough, Gu An in the dream began to break through the next realm.
The force was gentle and endless.
Then, snap.
The bottleneck of the Golden Core Middle Stage shattered silently.
Afterwards, a flood of power surged forth.
Gu An opened his eyes at that moment, power pouring out of his body.
He felt the river of time swirling around him, as if he had lived through countless years.
There was a deep sense of age and peace in his gaze.
The Innate Longevity Technique left traces of years, stability of the Mental State.
Taking a long breath, Gu An began to experience his current realm.
Afterwards he referenced the Qi Breathing Chapter, getting more familiar with his present strength.
To avoid being unable to control his power well enough.
After getting a basic sense of things, Gu An saw that it was still before dawn, so he continued extracting points.
This time he had to study Prison Cage.
Gu An sank into a dream again.
In the dream he began to comprehend Prison Cage.
Because Prison Cage was an incomplete technique to begin with, understanding it was particularly hard.
*It wasn’t until ten years in that he roughly understood the general functioning of Prison Cage.*
*After thirty years, he felt he could learn it.*
*But the more he studied, the worse his body felt.*
*Not until the fiftieth year did he confirm that the difficulty wasn’t because Prison Cage was hard to cultivate, but because the cultivation method itself was wrong.*
Then Gu An saw his dream self begin to comprehend Prison Cage bit by bit.
*In the seventieth year, he started learning the parts he already had.*
*But the technique of Prison Cage was so mysterious that for a while he couldn’t continue learning the later parts.*
At the one hundredth year.
*He could use Prison Cage in a simple way, but it had no real power, and cultivation was still off.*
*In the one hundred and fiftieth year, his dream self felt completely disheartened.*
*This skill was basically impossible to learn.*
*It looked learnable, but in fact it was way too broken.*
*In the one hundred and eightieth year, Gu An saw his dream self begin to regain confidence, continuing to study Prison Cage.*
*By the two hundred and fiftieth year, he could only keep repeating the parts he already knew.*
By the three hundredth year, Gu An saw himself start to comprehend, to create.
Only by truly completing this Magic, could Prison Cage be mastered.
In the four hundredth year, Gu An saw himself spend decades looking at his palm, seeming to grasp something.
Five hundred years in, Gu An began to keep trying, his palm appearing in the void, restraints manifesting.
*At five hundred and fifty years, Gu An felt he was just about to master Prison Cage.*
*Six hundred years in, Gu An could finally use it, just a step away from true mastery.*
At year six hundred and seven,
the dream ended.
Gu An found that in his dream, his lifespan...
had run out.
In an instant, Gu An snapped his eyes open.
He took a deep breath, a bit stunned.
At this point, he had already absorbed the understanding of Prison Cage.
But he still couldn’t actually cast the skill.
*However, he had discovered something...*
*The cultivation represented by those points, its limit was his lifespan...*
*This was the first time he’d encountered such a thing.*
*Also, what kind of Magic takes six hundred years and still can’t be mastered?*
*Was this Prison Cage really that powerful?*
*Six hundred years and still can’t even get started?*
Flipping through his books, Gu An sighed helplessly. This thing was missing an important section.
To call it learning was really more like comprehension and creation.
With his talent, not mastering it in six hundred years wasn’t impossible.
Still, he had wasted a set of points.
Thinking this, Gu An took out the Elixir Pills Chu Meng had given him. Taking just one would give him another fifty years of life.
What Hua Jiyang gave him could also come in handy now.
Fortunately, he hadn’t sold it off.
A Golden Core had six hundred years of life left, so he counted as long-lived now.
Normally, Golden Cores had about four hundred years of life.
After that, Gu An didn’t go logging, but watched Senior Sister Tao’s movements instead.
Also took the time to recover his status.
The failure in comprehension, he’d regret later on.
Three days later.
Gu An finally saw Senior Sister Tao leave the Outer Peak.
With that, Gu An followed after her.
Outside the Outer Peak.
Tao Qinlian flew on her sword, not planning to leave too far. She’d have to sneak back to the rear court that night anyway.
She wanted to let Gu An feel what despair really was.
"In the face of absolute power, let’s see how much pride you have left."
She muttered to herself, a hint of disdain in her voice.
People like Gu An, if you didn’t teach them a lesson, they’d never learn respect.
She had already confronted him and told him his mistake, and he still didn’t kneel and apologize on the spot.
Completely ridiculous.
"Tonight’s the night you’ll regret it."
The moment her words fell, she suddenly sensed a blast of wind from a fist.
She instantly gathered her Magic and turned to look.
All she saw was a fist coming straight at her.
Bang! freeωebnovēl.c૦m
The fist landed right on Senior Sister Tao’s face.
The wind howled as she was sent flying.
Spinning in the air.
*Shock filled her heart, she shouted angrily,* "Who dares lay a hand on me?"
Her power erupted, but a foot was already coming down at her from the sky.
Stomping heavily on her abdomen.
Bang!
Crack!
"Ah!"
The scream rang out.
"You want to die!"
Senior Sister Tao was fuming.
Her whole body tumbled from the sky.
At this moment, she condensed thunder in her hand and sent it blasting out.
But suddenly a longsword fell from the heavens.
Boom!
The sword split apart the thunder, then, with a squelch—
pierced right through Senior Sister Tao’s heart.
Blood spilled out.
"Ah~"
The wailing followed.
The terror of death instantly swept through her entire being.
She hadn’t even seen who had attacked her.
"Fellow daoist, spare me, I’m willing to serve you however you wish."
At that moment, a hand had already gripped her throat, and a cold voice followed,
"Sure enough, the harder you work, the luckier you get. Senior Sister, you finally grew a conscience, decided not to give me a hard time after all."
"You, it’s you....." The moment Senior Sister Tao saw the person, she was petrified with fear.
Then, cracking sound.
Blood splattered onto the ground.
With her life snuffed out, Tao Qinlian’s consciousness gradually faded.
*She never imagined the person who would kill her was the very one she’d planned to cripple tonight.*
*How did he dare?*
*Wasn’t he just Golden Core Early Stage?*
*Why couldn’t she put up any resistance?*
