After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 236 - 209: Who Among Them Has a Chance to Marry In? (2)
Chapter 236: Chapter 209: Who Among Them Has a Chance to Marry In? (2)
"Truly impressive."
"If I achieve Great Success and face Luo Yutong again, I shouldn’t get hurt."
Of course, the reason Luo Yutong was defeated wasn’t because she wasn’t strong enough.
It was because she had been gravely injured once, so she was already in a severely wounded state.
She was later influenced for a long time by the Blood Evil Qi, causing her realm to fall further.
Even so, at that time, I only barely won by ambushing her.
Otherwise...
There’s no way I could have been a match for her.
If she hadn’t been severely injured, even enduring so much Blood Evil, she definitely would have won.
"The Primordial Spirit is truly terrifying."
Gu An shook his head in amazement.
But soon.
I would also become one of them.
Once I became a Primordial Spirit, most people in the Outer Peak wouldn’t need to be a concern.
Even if the opponent acted personally, as long as I stayed cautious, it wasn’t impossible to escape.
Afterward, Gu An continued logging.
Just one last time.
In a little more than a month, I would achieve Qi Sea Sky Gang Great Success, and not only that, but I would also be able to improve my cultivation.
However, this time, I wanted to wait for Chu Meng to arrive.
Elevating my Primordial Spirit was somewhat extraordinary.
If my lifespan wasn’t enough, I might fail.
For the sake of stability, it was best to extend my lifespan.
Fifty or even a hundred years would be beneficial.
Sometimes, success is just a few years away.
So if there’s a chance to increase lifespan, I naturally would find a way to increase it.
However, after the matter of my apprenticeship was exposed, there were all sorts of voices praising me in the Outer Peak.
They talked about how I had accomplished tasks excellently before and that I would undoubtedly complete tasks even more brilliantly in the future.
They further said that a Peak Master’s disciple was truly extraordinary.
Such small matters could easily be completed.
The prestige of a Peak Master’s disciple was beyond their imagination.
Gu An felt as if he was being put on a pedestal.
If I failed in my tasks, it would have huge implications.
To succeed, they would see it as normal.
If I failed, they would despise me.
In just one month, Gu An felt the status brought him immense pressure.
Of course, he knew it was intentional.
They wanted to set him up for failure by elevating him.
The higher you rise, the better your reputation, the more afraid you become of making mistakes.
*Even if it was difficult, you had to say you could do it; if it was tough, you had to try your hardest.*
Being led like this, he felt trapped.
Many people were like that.
*Once it became a habit, everyone would think these tasks were his duty.*
When he refused, he would face countless accusations.
Gu An shook his head and sighed, realizing he shouldn’t aim for a good reputation.
In the Outer Sect, he didn’t have a good reputation.
It was the same in the Inner Sect.
Now in the Outer Peak, someone wanted to set him up for failure.
He needed to remain grounded.
*Not become the person they imagined, not be swayed by their attitudes to wrong himself.*
Doing what needed to be done was enough.
Prestige wasn’t needed and couldn’t bind him.
*Once embroiled, there would be immense danger.*
Gu An shook his head, stopped thinking, and focused on logging.
Because he had become a Peak Master’s disciple, the Outer Peak kept trying to set him up for failure.
So these months should be relatively easy, with not too many tasks assigned to him.
Even if there were tasks, they should be manageable.
Thus, once this wave passed, he should achieve Primordial Spirit cultivation.
Within the Sect, it wasn’t considered strong, but it had risen above the lowest tier.
Security had a bit more assurance.
Mid-March.
For a month, Gu An had been logging.
During this period, he had collected Spirit Stones.
Now, he had 11,200 Spirit Stones.
Because he couldn’t find Spirit Stones, his wealth remained stagnant.
During this month, the attention on him gradually subsided.
Mainly because at the beginning of the month, a previously obscure senior brother from the Main Court of the Outer Peak also became a Peak Master’s disciple.
His cultivation was at the Golden Core Middle Stage, and it was said he entered the Spirit Controlling Peak.
The Spirit Tree’s cultivation and care seemed to be mainly managed by this peak in the Sect.
When Gu An went to complete the Vajra Wood task, he should have brought people from this peak.
Primarily, he lacked experience, and secondly, there was a high chance of delays applying outside the Sect.
Since this person became a disciple of the Spirit Controlling Peak, many wished to befriend him.
There were naturally those around Gu An too, but he was solely focused on logging and didn’t respond to them.
Unable to get close.
Not thinking about it anymore, Gu An glanced at the panel.
[Name: Gu An]
[Cultivation: Golden Core Perfection]
[Status: Poisoned]
[Magic: 37/50]
[Hard Cultivation: 88/100]
[Ring of Destiny]
Soon, very soon.
By the end of the month, he might achieve the advancement.
Gu An was quite excited.
To accomplish the Primordial Spirit, he planned to visit the three people Zuo Youyan cared about.
His mother, his benefactor, and the person he liked.
He had yet to comprehend much of Zuo Youyan’s life.
After glancing at the back of the book, he learned something about the woman Zuo Youyan liked.
He was curious about what kind of woman such a handsome and legendary person would fancy.
After reading, he discovered it was... a woman in the attic.
An ordinary person.
If not for his insufficient cultivation, he wouldn’t have put off visiting until now.
Of course, before the meeting, he had to learn about Zuo Youyan’s life.
Otherwise, it would be easy for others to see through his facade.
On the other side.
Atop the Great Hall of the Cangmu Sect Main Peak.
The previously gathered four people reunited.
A middle-aged man, dignified without anger, looked at everyone and asked,
"How is the disciples’ recruitment going?"
"Qianchen Peak recruited one, Spirit Bamboo Peak recruited one, Law Enforcement Peak recruited one, Spirit Controlling Peak recruited one, and with Heavenly Suspension Peak recruiting one, that makes five," Situ Baichuan said.
"Five, at most one more, and then choose one from among them?" the youthful Immortal asked.
"Who do you all favor among these five?" the middle-aged man inquired.
"The one from Spirit Controlling Peak, reportedly a handsome young man, who wins the affections of girls," the youthful Immortal said with a smile.
"The one from Heavenly Suspension Peak is a bit older, but he’s taken on many tasks; clearly an ambitious person caught in this, he must be feeling down," the compassionate Immortal sighed.
"What does Junior Brother Situ think?" the middle-aged man asked curiously.
Situ Baichuan shook his head, "I recruited him for his diligence, and he’s somewhat old, not likely to be anything special.
Who would have thought, he has quite a reputation in the Sect.
Now that I’ve taken him in, many people criticize.
They question how someone so old and just at the Golden Core can fit this position.
He indeed has the most fame among them all, but also the least likable."
"Don’t say that, his chances of being chosen might still be high," the youthful Immortal laughed.
"What about talent and disposition?" the middle-aged man asked.
Situ Baichuan replied laughing, "He only wants to log. What do you all think?"
For a while, no one knew what to say.
"Let’s increase the fame for these people, talk more about their attributes, also, find someone to guide them, take them out to broaden their influence.
Then, choose whoever stands out," the middle-aged man paused and continued, "But will we choose, or the Royal Family, or the individuals themselves?"
"Regardless, we continue with our tasks. However, the one I recruited might be hard to bring out; his aspirations lie elsewhere.
Let him continue logging, honestly never seen someone so unambitious," Situ Baichuan shook his head and sighed.
Other Peak Masters, after recruiting disciples, would encourage them to learn magic and follow in cultivation.
But only this one...
Only desires to log.
What can logging achieve?
Only those who deem themselves average would give up opportunities and willingly remain obscure.
Unhelpable.
"Since you’re not inclined to get involved, then don’t; arrange well for the others.
In these years, raise their reputations," the middle-aged man told everyone.
...
Half a month later.
Early April.
Gu An swung the ax in his hand.
Again and again.
Finally, in the dead of night, he felt a warm current.
Looking at his magic now, it was full.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Currently, because of logging, he was thin to the bone like a skeleton.
The trees in the forest had certain side effects, not on par with the Divine Tree.
"Fortunately, it is done."
Thus, Gu An put away his ax and headed back to his residence.
This time, both magic and hard cultivation reached fullness.
He could prepare for advancement.
Should he advance in the Outer Peak or return to Heavenly Suspension Peak?
Recently, Noodles returned, and while the Blood Demon Divine Monarch was asleep, Gu An used the Sealing Technique to take it to Heavenly Suspension Peak.
He returned at night when there were fewer people.
Noodles also brought fish, shrimp, and crabs.
It seemed a bit displeased about moving frequently.
But upon seeing the vast lake, it felt moving was justified.
After much consideration, Gu An decided to stay in the Outer Peak to advance.
Chu Meng hadn’t been to Heavenly Suspension Peak yet, and the Array there wasn’t perfect.
If Chu Meng visited, she would add Arrays.
Said it was for the care of subordinates.
Such care, Gu An naturally wouldn’t refuse.
Moreover, none of his personal Arrays seemed effective against Chu Meng.
So he wouldn’t struggle anymore.
Returning to his residence, Gu An took a deep breath.
Chu Meng applied for a reward a long time ago, but hadn’t arrived yet.
Leaving him to ponder if he should directly advance to Primordial Spirit tomorrow.
