After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 226 - 204: Is a Peak Master Really Accepting Disciples? (Part 2)

Chapter 226: Chapter 204: Is a Peak Master Really Accepting Disciples? (Part 2)

"It will make tasks much more convenient in the future."

"As long as you show this avatar, if someone wants to kill Brother, it will be futile."

"It’s like a second life."

"Is it that powerful?" Gu An looked at the tree, feeling a bit contemplative, "It seems indeed that this tree is quite extraordinary."

"It is very extraordinary, it’s tailored for Brother who has learned the Blood Evil Big Movement, truly a blessing," praised the Blood Demon Divine Monarch.

Gu An nodded slightly.

Then, without a word, he took out an axe and struck down.

Bang!

A dull sound echoed.

A notch appeared.

A warm current flowed into his body.

Magic increased by one.

This tree was indeed remarkable, but gains often came with losses.

Obtaining an avatar delayed his promotion.

This was an advancement to the Primordial Spirit.

*Could an avatar compare to a Primordial Spirit?*

*Becoming a Primordial Spirit meant fewer people could kill me.*

*This was indeed the best outcome.*

*Avatars were too weak and would only waste energy.*

*Besides, could avatars help in logging?*

*That was a mystery.*

*If it was useless, what value did the avatar have?*

*I still needed to show myself.*

*So, there was no need to dwell on it.*

*A good tree should meet its suitable end.*

Bang!

The axe continued to fall.

Each strike was heavier than the last.

By the side, the Blood Demon Divine Monarch was dumbfounded. He opened his mouth but dared not speak.

He simply stared blankly.

Especially as the notch in the tree grew larger, he felt a sense of melancholy and unease.

*Would Brother, in his fervor for logging, chop it down as well?*

Once, twice, three times.

Every strike echoed in his heart.

*Brother seemed like a heartless logging cultivator.*

*How could he bear to harm such a fine tree?*

*Anyone else would be overjoyed for days.*

As time passed by bit by bit, the Blood Demon Divine Monarch became extremely fatigued but dared not close his eyes.

He feared he might never wake up again.

The sound of logging made his heart race.

Yet he still fell asleep.

At this moment, Gu An had already logged half the tree.

In the evening, he glanced at the panel.

[Name: Gu An]

[Cultivation: Golden Core Perfection]

[Status: Poisoned]

[Magic: 50/50]

[Hard Cultivation: 98/100]

[Ring of Destiny]

With this, Gu An gave up logging.

He went straight back to the house to extract magic.

This time, the upgrade was still the Qi Sea Sky Gang, although other spells were impressive and powerful.

But to promote quickly, this magic had to be raised to the ninth layer.

Only with perfection could he advance without mental pressure.

Otherwise, he feared he’d waste time cultivating the Qi Sea Sky Gang.

As long as the Qi Sea Sky Gang reached perfection, he could upgrade his realm at any time.

The Primordial Spirit.

Reaching this realm.

*Many enemies might have a change of heart, right?*

*Such as Elder Huang.*

*Even if not enough, in due time, he would come around.*

Late at night, waking from a dream.

The Qi Sea Sky Gang met with no surprises, as long as he accumulated enough.

At that moment, accumulation was perfect.

After releasing Gang Qi in the courtyard, it was the third volume’s fifth level.

Following that, Gu An resumed logging.

Before long, he went back to cultivation again.

Tempering cultivation.

This time, he felt his Golden Core becoming more pure and substantial.

The same Golden Core.

The sense of weight doubled.

*Testing the sword’s power, perhaps he would no longer have to face Luo Yutong awkwardly.*

*Unfortunately, he had not felt this heaviness before.*

*Like a mountain standing tall.*

With the dawn’s light, Gu An returned to logging.

This time he logged straight into noon.

As the values continued to increase.

Gu An stopped logging once more.

Magic was full.

Looking at the tree, half was gone.

Maybe just one more session would do.

Gu An hesitated, then entered the room to extract values.

*The dream continued, ceaselessly accumulating Gang Qi.*

*Day after day, year after year.*

*Decades passed in a flash.*

Gu An suddenly opened his eyes.

It was still afternoon.

Gu An released the Qi Sea Sky Gang.

This time, the Gang Qi contained numerous ice blocks.

Almost half of it had ice blocks.

Its power was unprecedentedly strong.

With any Spirit Sword attached, it could unleash attacks far beyond Golden Core Perfection.

*To pierce Luo Yutong, perhaps just a simple critical blow would suffice.*

*Unfortunately, there was no one to test its power.*

Then came rest.

Waiting for the little girl to come and for the Blood Demon Divine Monarch to wake up.

Unfortunately, by dusk, one didn’t come, and the other hadn’t awakened.

So Gu An had no choice but to continue logging with the axe.

Bang!

Bang!!

Bang!!!

With no one to disturb, he had to continue strengthening.

The warm current appeared swiftly.

Hard Cultivation increased by one.

Magic increased by one.

Magic and Hard Cultivation kept fluctuating.

[Magic: 15/50]

[Hard Cultivation: 66/100]

...

[Magic: 20/50]

[Hard Cultivation: 72/100]

...

[Magic: 30/50]

[Hard Cultivation: 85/100]

As time slowly passed, the values grew more abundant.

When the moonlight lay overhead, Gu An ceased his logging.

At this time, Hard Cultivation was now full.

[Magic: 46/50]

[Hard Cultivation: 100/100]

It was time to temper cultivation again.

*It felt like such a waste.*

But he was three steps away from Qi Sea Sky Gang’s perfection.

The seventh layer was easy.

This tree could still achieve it.

The eighth and ninth, he’d have to log elsewhere.

But, at most two or three months.

Afterwards, Gu An returned to his room, only to emerge again while it was still dark.

This time, the power around him seemed tangible. It looked like one person standing, yet felt like stacked mountains.

*Breaking through the clouds.*

*Upon sighting this, raindrops blinked, and that feeling was gone in an instant.*

*It looked off into the distance, then walked rapidly in another direction with its fins.*

*No one noticed it moving through the night.*

Gu An did the same, he continued logging.

He soon returned to the house.

When he came out again, daylight had fully risen.

The Qi Sea Sky Gang was released once more.

"After two days of effort, it finally reached the seventh layer."

"The cultivation was tempered to near solid; it’s hard to control."

"I feel with such surging strength, I could punch Luo Yutong to death."

*Of course, that’s a feeling.*

*It’s simply because of ego.*

*In actual combat, he might still get hurt.*

*But much more comfortably, not so wounded for so long.*

Thus, Gu An picked up the axe to continue logging.

Only this time the Blood Demon Divine Monarch finally awoke.

Seeing only a bit left of the tree beside him, he felt this tree might share the same destiny as him.

Yet Brother hadn’t called out.

Only the ’bang’ was heard.

Gu An began logging.

This time, he did not hold back.

Strike after strike.

Quickly logging.

Bang!

Bang!!

Seeing the tree about to be completely chopped, the Blood Demon Divine Monarch’s heart was in his throat.

But it wasn’t long.

The raised heart couldn’t settle back down peacefully.

Only to hear a ’bang’ and a crackling sound followed.

A tree full of spiritual essence fell with a responding crash.

Bang!

The tree fell heavily to the ground, landing right in front of the Blood Demon Divine Monarch.

Seeing this scene, the Blood Demon Divine Monarch’s legs went weak.

He thought Gu An’s logging was merely a scare tactic, that in the end, he wouldn’t actually chop it down.

*Good trees were always meant to be kept.*

But.....

This time, although this tree wasn’t as glorious as an Evergreen Tree,.....

This was, after all, a Spirit Tree revered by countless cultivators as their second life.

*Did it just fall like that?*

*Was his heart made of iron, his brain crafted from stone?*

In the midst of the Blood Demon Divine Monarch’s fright, Gu An looked at the felled tree and sincerely remarked, "What a fine tree."

Blood Demon Divine Monarch: "...."

*Should a fine tree be felled by you?*

Gu An sighed, ultimately not obtaining many values.

Then he casually gathered the tree and walked away.

Heading to the market below Qianchen Peak to buy some supplies.

Just upon his arrival, he overheard some discussions.

Extremely enthusiastic.

"Have you guys heard? A Senior Brother from Qianchen Peak, supposedly just at the Golden Core Early Stage, was favored by the Peak Master for often helping his Junior Brothers and Sisters, and was taken as a disciple.

"Although still an Inner Sect Disciple, compared to us, it’s worlds apart."

"Yeah, I heard too, if he performs well and becomes a Direct Disciple, it would really be a meteoric rise."

"That’s just Qianchen Peak; it’s said the other Peak Masters are also patrolling the Sect lately. We might have a chance."

Gu An listened, feeling a bit curious.

*Could there really be such a thing?*

But it had nothing to do with him.

Behind these matters, there must be some interests involved.

*I am penniless, with no background.*

*I wouldn’t be selected.*
