What’s more, this tree seemed to have meridian channels.
Just one glance told him it was anything but ordinary.
Looking at the tree, Gu An felt rather sentimental.
It was truly a tree completely unlike any other he had ever seen before.
"Did you feel it? As long as you can use this tree for cultivation, your future path is sure to be smooth, your destiny will be changed because of this," the old voice said, laced with temptation.
Gu An nodded, "Senior, what you said was the truth, that’s exactly right."
With that, Gu An took an axe out from his storage treasure.
He had bought this axe before.
Just in case he ever needed to do some logging.
Sure enough, he wound up using it today.
"Why did you take out an axe?" Just as he was feeling pleased, certain this person would get caught up in his grand plan, the sudden appearance of the axe took him by surprise.
Gu An said seriously, "I have some skill when it comes to logging."
The imprint, "???"
*So what if you’re skilled?*
*You actually want to do some logging?*
When Gu An swung the axe, the consciousness within the imprint immediately caught on; this guy didn’t have much talent, but his ambition was massive.
*Was he trying to force my hand?*
*Thinking he could make me give in and tell him more secrets.*
*I’ve met plenty like him before.*
"Kid, you need to understand, the more perfect this tree is, the better it is for your future, and the farther you can go. If you chop it down, you’re basically cutting off your own future," the old voice drifted over.
But...
The words had barely left his mouth when Gu An brought the axe down into the trunk.
A dull thud rang out.
The yellowed trunk was chopped open with a notch.
And at the same time, a warm current coursed through Gu An’s body.
His hard cultivation started to shift.
[Hard Cultivation: 1/100]
Gu An was completely dumbfounded.
*Luck, unbelievable luck.*
*Not only would his Golden Core Perfection get tempered...*
*Even his Qi Sea Sky Gang might reach Great Success.*
*With fortune like this, there’s no way he could just give it straight to Chu Meng.*
*But the tree bits he chopped down, those he could give Chu Meng.*
*The question was, would she even want it, and would it count as completing the task?*
*The identity token really was a useful thing for him.*
*As long as he entered the Law Enforcement Hall, most folks would probably think twice about messing with him.*
*And all he wanted to do in there was log trees anyway.*
*So, they might actually welcome him.*
Meanwhile, the other guy was just as dumbfounded—he’d never expected this guy would actually go through with it and swing the axe.
*Normally, shouldn’t you trade a few harsh words first, lay out your terms...*
*But with no warning at all, he just started chopping. Didn’t follow the script at all.*
"You—what are you doing?" the old voice shrieked in shock.
"Cutting down a tree," Gu An replied casually.
Then he kept swinging the axe, continuing his logging.
"Stop!" The old voice had gone sharp.
It was like he had witnessed something that utterly terrified him.
But Gu An didn’t pause for a second, he just kept on logging.
Bang!
Another heavy thud sounded as bark shattered.
Once again, a warm current emerged.
His hard cultivation ticked up a bit more.
It really was massive luck.
Plus, there didn’t seem to be any obvious drawbacks.
*So, it seemed like this tree really was something else.*
*But how many more chops could this not-too-big-yet-not-too-small tree take?*
"Kid, I dare you to keep going. You must realize this is a Divine Tree. If anyone finds out, you’ll be doomed for eternity."
Bang!
His hard cultivation went up again.
"Stop it! When I get out, I’ll kill you for sure—we’re sworn enemies now, I’ll never let this go!"
Bang!
This time, there wasn’t any warm current, so he put more force into it.
One more time.
Bang!
The warm current returned.
His magic increased by a bit.
He just needed one last push for magic, and it would be full.
*No luck, huh.*
At this point, Gu An could already see the tree’s meridian channels.
Meanwhile, that voice was still threatening him, "If you keep going, I promise you’ll ruin your future. Without the help of the tree, you’ll never go far."
Bang!
Bang!
Gu An ignored him completely, kept on chopping.
"Stop, please, I give in—I surrender, let’s talk it out! Whatever conditions you have, just say them."
But Gu An paid him no mind whatsoever, and just kept on logging.
"Don’t chop anymore, I’m begging you—please, I’m begging you!"
Still, Gu An kept on logging.
"I’ll kneel, I’m kneeling—what more do you want? Please stop, I’m begging you."
The sound of logging came one after another.
"Bro, big bro, I’ll call you big bro, all right? I’m kneeling and calling you big bro, please stop, I’m begging you—isn’t that enough? I apologize, I raised my voice earlier, please cut me a break, little brother’s begging you here.
Just put down the axe, OK?"
At this point, Gu An finally put down his axe.
He found that his magic had maxed out; should he keep chopping or not?
From the look of it, he’d only made a little dent—he could keep going and keep leveling up, no problem.
And not just once or twice, either.
*But there was an old guy peeking in; who knew if he’d notice anything.*
*If he did, turning him in would be a real pain.*
*But with his current strength, it didn’t seem like he could really mess with the other party anyway.*
*Honestly, kind of a headache.*
"Big bro, what are you thinking about? Need me to do anything? Just say the word."
Right now, the consciousness in the imprint didn’t dare say anything out of line.
*This guy really was a beast.*
*He’d just chop down a Divine Tree like it was nothing—didn’t his conscience bother him?*
*He was just putting on a show before, if this guy wasn’t happy, he should have just said so—why go wild on the tree?*
*Did Divine Trees mean nothing to him?*
"Any way to get you out of my palm?" Gu An asked aloud.
"There is, but you’d have to merge me back into the tree," the imprint’s consciousness replied.
Gu An went silent, then said,
"What’s your name?"
"Back when your little brother was alive, folks called me the Blood Demon Divine Monarch—my Blood Transformation Method ruled the world, but to be honest, I hardly remember the details. I’m too weak now. As the years go by, you forget a lot of things," the Blood Demon Divine Monarch paused, then continued, "Just call me Little Blood from now on, big bro."
Listening, Gu An thought the other voice sounded a lot younger all of a sudden, but didn’t care. He just asked simply, "What’s the realm above the Golden Core?"
He knew next to nothing about this, and hadn’t checked the Book Collection Pavilion.
*After all, he wasn’t ready for advancement yet—he didn’t have any cultivation technique for that.*
*Maybe this Blood Demon Divine Monarch had one.*
"Above Golden Core?" the Blood Demon Divine Monarch thought for a moment, then said,
"Above Golden Core is the realm where you refine your own qi within your flesh and mind, condensing your spirit.
It’s Qi Refining and God Transformation—forming the Primordial Spirit.
Once the Primordial Spirit is freed, the dead, stale Golden Core power gains sentience—as if it’s come alive.
You start circulating Spiritual Energy through your body and the heavens.
It’s on a whole different level from Golden Core.
Back in my day, this realm was called Qi Refining and God Transformation—nowadays, it’s probably just called Primordial Spirit."
Primordial Spirit, huh? Gu An pondered that, then said, "You got any Primordial Spirit techniques?"
"Big bro, if you want it, of course I do," the Blood Demon Divine Monarch laughed,
"I’ve got a technique called Blood Refining Heaven and Earth—it’s the ultimate method.
Gather the essence blood of all under heaven, refine your spirit, form the God-Blood Demon Body.
The whole world will be beneath your feet."
"Invincible, huh?" Gu An asked, genuinely curious, "So how’d you die?"
The Blood Demon Divine Monarch, "..."
Gu An wasn’t interested in this technique at all.
He still wanted to cultivate the Innate Longevity Technique.
*It felt just right for him.*
"Anything else?" Gu An asked.
"I used to collect countless techniques from all over the world—anything you can think of, I got it," the Blood Demon Divine Monarch said with pride.
"What about now?" Gu An asked.
The Blood Demon Divine Monarch paused, then said, "I lost my storage treasure—the collection is gone with it."
Gu An said with a deadpan face, "So you don’t have anything."
The Blood Demon, "..."
"First, explain how to get rid of this imprint on my hand," Gu An said.
*As long as he could get rid of it, he’d have both attack and retreat options.*
"That’s a long story," the Blood Demon’s voice started to trail off, but he quickly said, "Time’s almost up, big bro—you gotta get close to the Divine Tree, so I can come back to life and serve you again.
Tomorrow..."
The words weren’t even finished before the other party’s voice just vanished.
Gu An tried calling out several times, got nothing.
He tried sensing for a while—no luck.
*To play it safe, he decided to wait until midnight had passed.*
It was already nighttime.
Once midnight was over, he could check the rough situation via the Ring of Destiny.
*But this Blood Demon Divine Monarch really was a little odd.*
*Even if, on the surface, he seemed basically useless.*
*Turning him in wouldn’t hurt, really.*
"Do I really have to think through all these complicated things? What a pain,"
*Gu An had never wanted to get mixed up in so much trouble.*
*All he had to do was log trees and get stronger—why bother getting involved in anything else?*
*There was no need at all.*
*Still, the Divine Tree was worth logging. In a few more years, he’d probably be unable to chop it down at all.*
*Figure out the situation, level up, keep chopping.*
