After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 484 - 326: Senior Is a Good Person (Part 2)

If one were to consume the source of the fragrance, they would likely make rapid advancements.

Leaps and bounds in a single day.

Glancing at the middle-aged man, Gu An noticed that his expression remained calm.

So formidable? Gu An thought to himself, he had stabilized his mind through the Culivation Technique, Seven Emotions and Six Desires, yet the man before him did not show the slightest change in demeanor.

What kind of mental state was this?

Or was it that experience had given him sufficient advantage?

At this moment, the other party looked at Gu An and said, "You must be feeling uncomfortable, right? Look ahead."

With that, he affixed a talisman onto Gu An’s body, then threw it to the ground.

Gu An felt his Golden Core Cultivation being sealed.

But his Primordial Spirit could break through it.

It was no big deal.

After standing up straight, Gu An looked forward.

Directly in front, there was a massive red tree, the branches covered in red leaves.

Under the moonlight, the entire tree appeared vividly crimson and eerie.

On the tree hung a crystal-clear red fruit.

It gave the impression that it could ripen at any moment.

Moreover, the fragrance was emanating from this fruit.

Consuming it would enhance one’s cultivation.

And thereby change one’s fate.

Such thoughts incessantly surfaced in Gu An’s mind, alarming him greatly.

He felt there was a serious problem.

"Go in," suddenly the Late Stage Returning to Void man said.

Upon hearing this, Gu An was somewhat surprised, "What am I to do after going in?"

"After entering, you will be unable to guard your mind, and this tree will break through all of your mental defenses. You will answer whatever I ask," the Late Stage Returning to Void middle-aged man looked at Gu An and said, "Moreover, the closer you are, the harder it is to leave, and you will die inside.

So do you want to tell me now, what I want to know?"

"What does senior want?" asked Gu An curiously.

"The Nirvana Dao Scripture," the middle-aged man stared at Gu An, calmly saying, "Don’t say you don’t have it, or don’t know, that’s impossible. Although a human heart is hidden behind flesh, we are all selfish.

You would have definitely kept a copy when you handed over the Daoist Scripture.

There’s really no need to hide it. You, at the Golden Core Late Stage, even if you obtained it, couldn’t keep it safe.

Give it to us, and we can offer you some benefits.

Why would you refuse?"

Gu An looked at the man and shook his head, "I truly do not have it."

Actually, he did have it. These people had not guessed wrong.

They had merely misjudged his cultivation.

Of course, if he handed it over, he would likely be killed right there and then.

"Not having it? Then go ahead and enter, once you do, we’ll know whether you have it or not," the middle-aged man said as he launched a palm strike.

The more one tried to negotiate, the more leeway was given to the adversary.

With a ’bang’, Gu An was directly sent flying with a strike.

Entering the influence of the Red Spirit Tree.

The moment he entered, Gu An felt his mind overwhelmed by countless voices.

To grow stronger, able to become stronger, just waiting for the fruit to ripen, consuming it would make one the strongest here.

Revenge with a snap of the fingers, beauties at arm’s reach, a single-handed dominance over the Sect.

Supreme above and beneath the sky.

Nourished with Essence blood, it would ripen soon.

Such voices crashed over his Primordial Spirit like a torrential flood, as if to immerse it in a layer of incomprehensible red fog.

Gu An felt immense pain and truly began to walk further inside.

At this moment, a questioning voice reached his ear, asking him whether he knew of the Nirvana Dao Scripture, over and over, irritating and painful.

Wanting to tell the other party the answer, to be rid of them once and for all.

But soon enough, Gu An realized, this was the adversary’s goal.

Suddenly, he clenched his teeth and regained a bit of consciousness.

Then he began to calm his mind.

But he couldn’t calm down.

The Seven Emotions and Six Desires ran, suppressing all emotions.

Afterwards, nourished by the Xuanhuang Qi, he managed to drive away the red fog.

It really worked.

Thus, while Gu An’s mind still harbored strange thoughts, at least he remained clear-headed.

He ignored the voices behind him, hurriedly walking forward.

He walked right under the tree, then quickly dug a pit and jumped in.

Then he buried himself.

Done in one go.

This left the middle-aged man at the fringes taken aback.

"How can this be?"

Normally, anyone who approaches would be mentally defeated and answer any question asked.

Then they would bleed to nourish the Red Spirit Tree.

And finally, they would be thoroughly consumed.

But the person before him simply buried himself into the ground.

Hesitating for a moment, a rope appeared in his hand.

Originally, he was supposed to wait until the other party divulged some information before pulling him out, so as to obtain the complete scripture.

Then throw him back in, double-check everything.

If there were no issues, then there was no need to bother further—let him die inside.

But now the other party has buried himself, he had no choice but to pull him out.

This rope, once used, would be damaged after a maximum of three times.

Sighing, he activated the magic treasure in his hand.

The rope then whistled through the air, directly aiming at the place where Gu An was.

Bang!

It seemed as if the rope had hit something, then it quickly retracted back.

This left the middle-aged man somewhat astonished.

"An Array?"

"Or a Defensive Treasure?"

He wanted to use force to blow open the hole.

But...

If he acted, he himself wouldn’t be able to stay here any longer.

Despite the tree not being aggressive, the greater the Spiritual Energy used in an attack, the more it would provoke the surrounding trees.

Attacks beneath Foundation Establishment were manageable, but at Foundation Establishment and above, the attacks become relentless.

For Golden Core cultivators, their scent would be remembered.

Not to mention him, a Late Stage Returning to Void.

Unless he could obliterate this tree along with the surrounding forest.

But...

If he could do so, this tree would not have existed for so long.

After some hesitation, he decided to test with an ordinary Fireball Technique.

To see if there was some issue with this tree.

Then, a thunderous boom!

There was a surge of power in the surrounding woods, countless branches attacked.

Forcing the middle-aged man to continually retreat.

It seems that the tree had no issue.

If attacked, it would provoke the surroundings.
