After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 221 - 202: Too Short-Sighted

In the cave, Little Blood stared at the rusty knife before him, his heart brimming with curiosity.

Since the other party had brought him here, it was naturally for this knife.

Was it a Magic Treasure?

Apart from rust, he could not discern anything else.

"This knife, I acquired it a long time ago. Everyone said it was a treasured blade, and I have always believed it to be one.

Because when I got it, I saw a stele that recorded it." Zuo Youyan looked at the knife and fell into reminiscence, stating:

"Seeking light in the dark; chasing dawn beneath the abyss.

Chasing Sun is its name.

When I got it, I thought I was the Child of Destiny.

That dawn would bloom due to my arrival.

Unfortunately, it was all but a fleeting dream."

Zuo Youyan glanced at Gu An, gave a self-mocking laugh, "In this world, who is truly destined? It is but wishful thinking.

Many think this way; whoever survives in the end is the Child of Destiny.

By the time I realized this, it was too late.

They had fixated on me, wanting to kill me.

Of course, they also feared me.

My progression was swift, I considered myself the foremost amongst equals.

Sadly, I was too young, outstanding yet unable to judge the situation.

Pitiful."

Zuo Youyan looked deeply at Gu An and said, "I am a failure, but not one to wallow in self-pity; I seek revenge, to repay kindness, I need someone."

His words concluded, and he quietly awaited a response, hoping for one from Gu An.

However, Gu An maintained his composure, "Senior, continue speaking, no need to wait for my response. Whether to make a deal with you, I will decide after hearing everything."

The other party wanted to set an image with his words, then have him empathize.

Once emotions of sympathy or admiration arose, it would be dangerous.

The key was to first dodge these or stay sober.

"What Cultivation Technique do you cultivate?" Zuo Youyan asked.

"What Techniques do you have, senior?" Gu An countered.

"I have two Techniques, the first is the ’Innate Longevity Technique,’ from Qi Refinement to Primordial Spirit, this was what I initially intended to cultivate, but unfortunately, it was too slow and lacked burst power.

The second book is the ’Ancient Burning Sky Technique.’ I see no limit to it; perhaps it can be cultivated continuously. This Technique I found in a secret realm, like raging fire under the sun scorching everything; its bursting power dominates within its rank. If the Innate Longevity Technique is considered one of the best in the Sect, then this Ancient Burning Sky Technique is a hidden gem of the Sect, ready to establish a school.

Across the various Great States, also a renowned name." Zuo Youyan said earnestly to Gu An: "These can be yours too." ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Gu An wasn’t very concerned about the "Ancient Burning Sky Technique"; after all, it wasn’t suitable for him.

What use is explosive power?

He sought longevity.

The longer the lifespan, the faster his cultivation.

If the lifespan wasn’t enough, then it would all be a waste.

He had planned to visit the Longevity Sect, but unexpectedly, he found an opportunity here.

That did need consideration.

It was initially said that one could kill using someone else’s identity.

He always felt uneasy.

This kind of thing was a bit beyond his understanding.

Somewhat unsafe.

"And then there’s the final ’All Living Beings.’" As he said this, Zuo Youyan took out a mask from his bosom.

A black mask with a drop of fresh blood on it.

"This mask has the aspect of All Living Beings, refined by me, becoming one with me.

Using it means being me; Qi, Heavenly Mechanism, all will be covered by me.

As long as you aren’t caught red-handed, it is safe." Zuo Youyan looked at the mask and smiled:

"Additionally, let me tell you one more thing, All Living Beings understands insight.

Just wear it, and the speed of your Taoism cultivation will leap forward drastically.

Even if your talents are dull, it will help you achieve something.

Of course, it carries a curse—a small part of the curse afflicts with every use.

However, I can integrate all of mine into it.

You can use it worry-free for the next fifty years."

"Where is the pledge?" Gu An asked.

Zuo Youyan shook the mask, saying, "This is it."

Gu An frowned.

Looking from this perspective, even the token wasn’t simple.

Guoguo’s bracelet had noodles and other things in it before,

The bracelet itself was an excellent Storage Treasure.

Moreover, this token could assist in cultivation, even concealing one’s Qi and Heavenly Mechanism, allowing one to assume the identity of another.

The knife probably also had its secrets.

Logically speaking, it was quite appealing.

But Gu An didn’t care for the mask.

He didn’t want to be someone else, at least not using this mask, always feeling it was dangerous.

Just killing a person with the mask felt like risking too much.

"Is there nothing else?" Gu An asked.

"That’s all. The other things, you can obtain by killing me; there’s no need for me to keep them.

But you can’t take away All Living Beings without my willing consent, the same applies for the Techniques.

The knife is sealed; pulling it out also requires my consent." Zuo Youyan said calmly, "So if you agree you can take them all, if not, you can’t take anything.

Otherwise, what rights does a dying man have to negotiate?"

Gu An remained silent; he indeed wanted to take everything after the man died.

To just take something without stealing or robbing.

Why bother doing anything?

"What are your conditions, senior?" Gu An asked again.

To see whom the other party actually wanted to kill.

"Revenge." Zuo Youyan stated earnestly, "Help me kill five people, two are in the Sect, three in other Sects.

Additionally, meet three people; one is my aged mother, one a small benefactor who helped me during my downfall, and one a woman I’ve loved for years.

I hope you can use my identity to speak with them.

These five people don’t need to be rushed; waiting until you’re stronger to kill is not too late.
