After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 1013 - 594: How Many Positions Are There for Becoming a Saint? (Part 2)

Or perhaps, in order to escape the shackles of the Dao, one had to disappear.

But all these are my speculations, the specifics must be asked of him personally."

Gu An was a bit surprised, it seemed that there were still quite a few suspicious candidates.

The existence of the God and Demon Era, a powerful figure entering the clearing, and the vanished Heavenly Emperor.

"Is there a way to find out?" Gu An asked.

If there's a way, then measures can be taken in advance, knowing oneself and the enemy leads to victory in battles.

The current situation is too passive.

In the end, something needs to be done.

"There's no real way, but you could take a trip to Buzhou Mountain, or search elsewhere for traces of gods and demons; they might know quite a bit.

Furthermore, the cornerstone of the Dao is actually important too.

Its specific use is unknown, but so far no one has gotten hold of it.

The Heavenly Court has always wanted it, yet never found it." The Reincarnation Avatar said.

Gu An felt that this was a bit beyond his understanding.

He didn't know much about it.

But searching for gods and demons.

Wouldn't be troublesome.

Because he knew there was a place where gods and demons resided.

The Nether Sea Clan.

Quite conveniently, they were nearby, he could pay them a visit.

As for other matters, he would have to ask some ancient entities.

Gu An looked towards the Reincarnation Avatar.

The other shook his head: "Don't look at me, I don't know where the gods and demons are either, having only returned for a few years, I'm quite ignorant of the current situation."

Gu An didn't make things difficult for him.

He merely asked, "Would other Daoist Orthodoxies be of use to us?"

The Reincarnation Avatar pondered for a moment and said: "Normally, they wouldn't be, but this time the spiritual energy is diminishing, clearly aiming to claim the Holy Position.

So I'm not sure.

At least back then, the Heavenly Court attempted to win over these people."

Gu An realized that he could only learn these things for now.

So he stopped asking about this and looked towards the Sect Master, inquiring about Xun Yue.

"She's dead." The Sect Master said calmly: "She had some small tricks, arranged many things, but she was quite concerned about the forest nearby.

The specific reasons were not mentioned.

Back then, she was quite bold, but later realized she was actually quite weak."

Gu An was silent for a moment.

Being at the Daluo level is considered weak?

Does the Sect Master think he's quite weak too?

He asked some more questions and then left.

Regarding Xun Yue, the Sect Master didn't know much, just that she was quite honest and didn't pay much attention.

As long as there was harmony, it was fine.

Gu An asked the Sect Master why she wanted to seek death.

The Sect Master was silent for a moment and casually said: "To fulfill herself, I suppose."

This left Gu An even more puzzled.

But he didn't ask more.

After returning, Gu An did not hurriedly leave but began to wait for the opening of the Divine Monarch Hall, and in the meantime, stabilize his mind.

Once his mind was stable enough, it wouldn't be too late to make his move.

For now, stabilizing his own strength was the priority.

In the year that followed.

It felt as though Gu An returned to the Golden Core Stage, living stably within the Outer Peak.

Carrying out the tasks of the Outer Peak.

Occasionally selling talismans in Qingmu City.

Because the Sect had become a Daoist Orthodoxy, there were no enemies.

The Law Enforcement Hall thus stopped sending people over.

The First Institute was currently in the process of assimilating previous prisoners.

There was no substantial progress.

At sixty-two this year, Gu An felt his mind was much calmer.

Especially listening to Pang Wen report on people's affairs.

He increasingly felt integrated into ordinary life.

His feet slowly touched the ground.

And during this year, Gu An received a piece of news.

Overseas, a change had occurred.

Where spiritual energy should have been completely lost.

A dead land.

But an island emerged from the deep sea.

A group of mysterious individuals began to occupy the overseas territories, consolidating the sea domain forces.

Buzhou Mountain did not intervene because it could barely protect itself.

This force grew larger, secretly attracting ancient races.

Furthermore, mysterious small worlds appeared in corners of each realm, merging within.

Especially in places where spiritual energy was fading.

Another three years passed.

Gu An had reached sixty-five.

This year, he finally felt his feet touch the ground, and the power within his body was completely absorbed by him.

Now he could see the endless Dao, could feel the past and future.

His Dao heart was translucent.

The Dao was under his feet, he could even see the essence of the Dao.

Vaguely, he could see a region veiled in mist deep within the Dao.

But it was unreachable.

Even the Dao was wary of that region.

Gu An frowned, feeling a peculiar sensation.

That he didn't want to visit that place.

Yet that was the Holy Position, Gu An didn't understand, why he didn't want to go.

Moreover, he observed his past, found something peculiar.

It seemed not to emerge from nothing.

Rather, it was part of a complete river of time.

He refrained from stepping into it for now.

For it was also shrouded in fog.

The traces of the Dao were distinctly visible, emitting the same aura as the foundation of the Dao.

"Truly profound." Gu An sighed.

He had thought his understanding of the Dao had surpassed the norm.

Yet he never expected he still couldn't escape the measurements of the Dao.

"My Dao is not my Dao."

Gu An sighed deeply.

"What's wrong with your Dao?" Chu Meng poured Gu An a cup of tea and asked.

"Just feeling that my insights aren't as clear as I thought." Gu An replied with a smile.

Still felt like being within a certain framework.

Still bound.

Perhaps becoming a Saint would feel different.

He couldn't be sure.

"Do you know what's happened outside these years?" Chu Meng asked.

Gu An said: "Just a few years, nothing significant should happen."

Even when he's gone for a few years, only a few things happen.

"Those secret forces seem to be forming a line, occupying the Endless Sea, resonating with it, clearly premeditated." Chu Meng continued: "And then there's the Dao Sect, also uniting various Sects, establishing a new force.

Occupying the Twenty-Eight Constellations, resonating with the Stars.

Establishing the Four Directions Masters, resonating with mountains and rivers.

Finally establishing the Dao Fruit Immortal Position, resonating with all beings.

But currently, there's no title.

It's not just him, it's the same with those mysterious forces in the sea domain.

Clearly, there's some reason behind."

Gu An understood, Senior Brother intends to rebuild the Heavenly Court, while those overseas are probably the Heavenly Court's pawns, paving the way for its return.

But both sides clearly have no intention of taking the name of the Heavenly Court.

Fearing using it would invite changes.

So both are expanding themselves, waiting for the right moment.

But Gu An was a bit curious, Senior Brother could succeed because of the backing of the Cangmu Sect.

Why could those forces overseas succeed?

Are there people from the Heavenly Court in the shadows?

"Not certain, the persons I sent didn't sense anything special, perhaps not strong enough." Chu Meng shook her head.

She brought out dishes and said: "Perhaps they don't guard against ordinary immortals, but against the Daluo specifically.

If you take a trip, you'll probably know."

Gu An pondered for a moment and said: "Actually, I really could take a trip, just visit the Nether Sea Clan first; they feed on people, quite a threat.

But they've been quiet these years, not acting.

Not sure if they've turned a new leaf, or are fearing the Cangmu Sect.

Afterward, I'll have to venture overseas.

The Moon Clan is still outside, if the Heavenly Court makes a comeback, they might target the Moon Clan.

Ask the Divine Doctor if they want to leave.

If they're willing, they could be brought over."

Clearly, the Heavenly Court plans to take the sea domain as its base.

If possible, he could attempt to interfere.

In his sixties, taking them on, at most bullying the bigger.

Not counting as bullying the smaller.

As for cultivation...

If their cultivation is slow, it's not others' fault.

"When do you plan to set off?" Chu Meng perked up: "Recently, people from the Great Continent have secretly contacted those overseas.

Completely forgot about you, it's time to remind them that the God of Killing from back then is still alive."

Gu An was silent for a moment and said: "Senior looks more like the God of Killing."

"Once you encounter those people, you'll know how great your killing nature is." Chu Meng said.

Gu An didn't mind, but said: "Then let's understand the situation, see which direction they're going overseas, and probe the Heavenly Court."

The speed of spiritual energy recession was fast.

Currently, there's very little spiritual energy in the world.

Many cultivators feel despair.

But Gu An understood, there wasn't much time left for them.

Once spiritual energy completely vanished, and the marks of the Dao fully revealed themselves.

Then no one knows what will happen.

Perhaps someone would appear, and battles could instantly pierce the earth.

Only by becoming a Daluo could one know the extent of the damage their fights could do to the earth.
