After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 479 - 324: Gu An Is Eliminated by the Royal Family (Part 2)

White is the easiest after all.

If these two have objections, it would be difficult for him.

After all, even the Law Enforcement Hall doesn’t dare to arrest them.

Somehow, he felt somewhat inferior.

These two, however, are the trickiest to deal with.

By now, the secret realm had already opened, and everyone could enter as they pleased.

On the way, Gu An came across some people who occasionally glanced at him.

It was somewhat surprising.

He hadn’t been out recently; why would he be targeted?

"Somebody knows about the origins of the institute head, perhaps because of the Nirvana Dao Scripture," Zhao Qingshan explained once more.

Gu An nodded; it seemed he needed to advance his cultivation quickly.

Who knows when danger will arrive?

Soon, they entered the secret realm because of the white token.

They appeared on the edge of the outermost forest.

There were dozens of people here, all waiting.

Feng He and Feng Qing were also present.

Seeing them, Gu An knew that this was their team.

And these people came for logging.

Just a glance was enough for Gu An to be quite surprised.

Out of thirty people, only six were at the Primordial Spirit stage; the majority were Golden Core and a small number were at Perfect Foundation Establishment.

Their combined strength was too weak.

He looked towards Cheng Yifei next to him.

"Due to some accidents in the Sect, there has been a change in personnel," Cheng Yifei said somewhat helplessly.

Initially, many from his lineage supported him, but unfortunately...

Plans always have the possibility of change.

Gu An didn’t care much and instead asked: "I wonder to what extent fellow daoist wants to achieve."

"Six months, to clear a path to the mountaintop," revealed Cheng Yifei.

Gu An slightly looked up and noticed the vast forest ahead.

And in the far distance was a large mountain.

This number of people, in six months?

"It’s challenging," Gu An could only say so, and before the other could speak, he continued, "However, I can help fellow daoist with logging; despite being only at Golden Core, I am comparable to Primordial Spirit.

But to complete it within the stipulated time, the path cannot be too wide."

Gu An didn’t even ask why he wanted to do such a thing.

After all, they came here to log, no unnecessary questions asked.

The other side completes their objective, and he completes his.

Mutual benefit.

"Can’t we directly cut the trees using spells?" asked Zhao Qingshan.

"You can try," Cheng Yifei said.

Afterward, Zhao Qingshan approached the forest and gently tapped a tree.

Then retreated back.

He got countered.

Attacking the tree was like attacking oneself.

Unless the power exceeds the tree’s limit.

"There must be a special barrier," Zhao Qingshan said.

"I’ll try to see if I can cut first," Gu An came in front of the forest and randomly picked a tree.

He took out an axe and began logging.

The axe fell lightly, and suddenly his body felt rigid.

There were side effects.

And if not adjusted properly, it might even solidify the Spiritual Energy.

Probably wouldn’t be able to use spells for a short time.

Physical injuries were the same.

If not controlled well, the body couldn’t move, and could even petrify.

But it normally wouldn’t reach that extent.

Eventually, cutting would naturally become impossible, and then gradually one could recover. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

After trying for a while, Gu An found a suitable breathing technique, first passed it to Zhao Qingshan, then had Zhao Qingshan teach the others.

Cheng Yifei then informed everyone that they must listen to whatever Gu An says.

Additionally, he specifically explained that Zhao Qingshan and Ye Xiu were Gu An’s attendants.

One at Primordial Spirit Perfection, and the other at Returning to Void Perfection.

It was not that he wanted to show off for Gu An, but to let those whose cultivation was higher than Gu An’s to see the situation clearly.

Not to foolishly provoke those who should not be provoked.

Chu Meng sat on the side drinking tea.

No need for an introduction, one glance was enough to feel an almost imperceptible icy oppression.

Daring to look too much was at one’s disadvantage.

It took most of the day for everyone to start understanding how to log and then picked up the axes to try.

All the axes were brought by Gu An.

And Gu An started leading at the very front.

One chop after another, and then increasingly faster.

Others watching thought it seemed easy.

And thus began their attempt.

But soon, they felt their bodies somewhat uncontrollable.

And Gu An at the front logging had no time to attend to them.

He looked at the panel.

[Name: Gu An]

[Cultivation: Mid-stage Returning to Void]

[Status: Qi Sea Planting Green Lotus, Qi Sea Birth Xuanhuang]

[Spells: 6/50]

[Hard Cultivation: 78/100]

[Ring of Destiny]

Hard Cultivation isn’t far off.

The trees here are somewhat better than the Moon Trees.

And one can log all day long.

If one logs tirelessly day and night, there would be at least eight points in a month.

That means I could enhance my power once every three months at most.

In the Late Stage of Returning to Void, I would become even stronger.

Besides...

There are powerful individuals in this team.

They appear to be in the Golden Core stage, but actually in the Early Stage of Returning to Void.

There is also one with Primordial Spirit Perfection.

They, too, disguised as Golden Core.

These people are expert at suppressing their cultivation, even more fiercely than me.

It’s unknown who they all are.

And this logging session lasts for seven days.

While others need a break after logging for a couple of hours, Gu An...

Doesn’t sleep or rest for seven days.

Both his hard cultivation and magic constantly increase.

This excites him more, yet he controls his breathing well to minimize the side effects.

This also improves his logging efficiency.

But others looked at him as if they’ve just seen a ghost.

Cheng Yifei realized for the first time what it means to be good at logging.

He is also logging and can vividly feel how painful it is.

Need to take a rest every two hours.

Whereas Gu An went on for seven days and nights without sleep or rest.

Everyone was afraid that something bad may occur due to the logging.

Zhao Qingshan was even more amazed; the pace of logging controlled by the team leader was exquisitely subtle.

It implied that the control over Spiritual Energy was equally superior.

Both in the Golden Core Late Stage, the Institute Director would definitely outperform the opponent.

Chu Meng had been drinking tea for seven days.

People thought she’d gone foolish.

She originally thought that Gu An would wander around after logging for a while, and when he does, she would follow and then initiate a mission.

But to her surprise, once he started logging, it lasted for seven days.

She couldn’t go over to him.

She could only wait for him to rest.

However...

Days kept passing - the end of January, early February, mid-February, late February, early March, late March, early April.

Two months had fully passed, and Chu Meng noticed that Gu An was still logging.

Not just her, Chunyu was also astounded.

She had never seen anyone log like that.

Logging tirelessly for just over two months.

One person accounted for one-third of the progress.

"Doesn’t he ever get tired?" Feng Qing asked with a shocked face to those around.

Zhao Qingshan started to admire Gu An.

But logging like this certainly wasn’t good, he decided to persuade him.

"Director, how about a rest?" he tentatively spoke.

Upon hearing this, Gu An, who was logging, looked at the person beside him and said, "Rest? Rest?"

"Yes, it’s been over two months, it’s time for a rest," Zhao Qingshan found a casual excuse.

Hearing this, Gu An put away his axe and said, "Then let’s rest."

Zhao Qingshan was astounded; he didn’t expect the Director to actually rest just because he said it was useful?

Before Zhao Qingshan came over, Hard Cultivation had just completed.

Magic was at forty.

But there was a problem: how to advance?

There was no place to rest here.

Hesitating, Gu An looked towards the forest and said, "Can I go in to check out the situation?"

"Of course," Cheng Yifei immediately responded.

Hearing this, Gu An said to Zhao Qingshan and Ye Xiu, "I’ll go in and have a look, you guys stay here."

Ye Xiu frowned and eventually said, "I will follow the Director."

Gu An paused, then said, "Fine, come along."

It would raise too much suspicion to go in alone.

But how to shake off Ye Xiu and the others?

Might as well continue logging, wait until Magic is full.

Then he casually roamed around and started logging again.

Chu Meng became numb.

While she was planning to do something, several uninvited guests arrived in the forest.

Zhan Tai Xiu came with two fellow sect members, greeting with a smile:

"Junior Brother Cheng, long time no see."

Cheng Yifei furrowed his brows, sensing something was wrong.

...

Cangmu Sect.

Atop the great hall.

Qu Youdao looked at the envelope and said, "The Royal Family has sent a letter, want to guess what it’s about?"

Situ Baichuan replied, "Is it still about the alliance?"

"Yes," Qu Youdao threw the envelope to Situ Baichuan and said, "The Royal Family’s letter states the Zhuanlun lineage is incompatible with the Royal Family, also in order not to damage your disciple’s face, they can announce it later.

In short, your disciple is now out, but currently can attract public attention, so it exists in name only.

Thus there’s no need to look at the contributions from the First Institute after that.

Speaking of which, how’s the ranking lately?"
