After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 487 - 327: Chu Meng: What Are You Doing? (Part 2)

*It seemed fighting any longer was impossible.*

*I could only wait for a chance to throw it at an enemy.*

*Perhaps there might be a strike close to Perfection.*

With that, Gu An returned to the tree to continue logging.

Days passed one by one.

Gu An paid no attention to the changes outside, wholly focused on logging,

magic rapidly increasing.

[Magic:2/50]

.....

[Magic:8/50]

...

[Magic:18/50]

....

[Hard Cultivation:12/100]

Gu An kept chopping the red tree, watching the rise in magic.

He would take breaks mid-way since the tree was too reactive.

The spiritual attack was so vast he had to allow it to rest a little.

Five days later.

Late April.

Magic was once again full.

Gu An contentedly ventured underground.

When he emerged, the Qi Sea Sky Gang had already reached the Eighth Layer.

But only a small portion of the tree remained.

*The tree was good, but not very durable.*

*But it should still be able to boost once more.*

*As for hard cultivation, it’s probably difficult.*

*Currently, hard cultivation was only thirty-two.*

*A bit less than expected.*

*But it’s acceptable, as at least the Qi Sea Sky Gang is about to reach Perfection.*

Another seven days passed before Gu An accumulated enough magic.

By then, the tree was just a few hits away from falling.

During those seven days, the tree struggled more intensely.

*It forced him to rest for two days.*

*And so, he was delayed.*

It was now early May.

Gu An went underground again, starting to extract magic.

He aimed to enhance the Qi Sea Sky Gang.

This time, the improvement was the Great Success of the Qi Sea Sky Gang Fifth Volume.

Some changes were expected.

He was quite eager.

*The dream began once more.*

*A long accumulation, dull and tedious.*

This time, it took around two hundred and fifty years to complete the accumulation.

When Gu An opened his eyes, he couldn’t help but sigh, recognizing the true difficulty of cultivating the Qi Sea Sky Gang.

Crawling out of the ground, Gu An once more unleashed the Qi Sea Sky Gang.

A torrent of ferocious power roared out.

Thus, Gu An felt a rumbling in his Qi Sea.

He hurriedly sat cross-legged to start introspection.

In the Qi Sea, half of the Ice Glacier Gang Qi transformed into mist, bringing down a heavy rain.

Within the glacier, a seed began to glow.

Then came a crack sound.

The seed’s shell started to split open.

It seemed something was about to emerge from the seed.

But Gu An did not see anything yet.

Currently, he could only see the seed cracking.

*It seemed to be waiting to sprout.*

Xuanhuang Qi also became more intense, intermixed with Gang Qi, nourishing the Qi Sea and flowing into the extraordinary meridians.

"Seems like that’s it."

Gu An withdrew his gaze, thinking that the seed was about to sprout.

The status of Gang Qi had stopped changing so drastically, the subsequent changes should revolve around the seed.

"Then the Sixth Volume should be about taking root and sprouting."

"I wonder what will happen afterward."

*Regardless, Gu An could sense it,* this stuff was extremely powerful.

*What exactly that woman intended to do was also uncertain.*

*It was best to increase cultivation first.*

Thinking this, Gu An approached the tree.

He could feel the tree struggling, continuously emitting streams of spiritual currents.

Trying to get him to stop logging, to offer blood.

But Gu An was unaffected.

Especially after getting used to it, he was even more unaffected.

The Seven Emotions and Six Desires was more potent than imagined.

Identical spiritual attacks would gradually become adapted, eventually having no effect.

So, Gu An picked up the axe, ready to give the tree the final few strikes.

He swung the axe.

Thunk, thunk sounds emerged.

The branches supporting the whole tree began to gradually fall.

Just one more hit would completely end it.

Unfortunately, the last few hits did not produce any warm currents.

The hard cultivation was only seventy-five.

*He didn’t know when he would manage to fill it.*

As he was about to deal the final blow, a voice suddenly came from behind, "What are you doing?"

A familiar voice, with a hint of surprise.

Gu An turned his head and saw Chu Meng standing at the edge, looking astonished.

Gu An casually gave the tree the last hit, then replied, "Logging."

Chu Meng came closer, looking at the tree and the bright fruit, "Have you been logging here these past dozen days?"

"Yes," Gu An nodded truthfully.

Chu Meng fell silent for a moment before saying, "Do you remember you still have a task to do? I’ve waited for you for months, waiting for you to leave the group with difficulty, only for you to tell me you’re still logging?"

Gu An also fell silent, knowing now that he still had to complete Chu Meng’s task.

He then had to muster up the courage and say, "The array here is naturally formed, if I don’t log, I can’t leave."

"I see you look very dejected, like a good thing is slipping away from you, not sensing at all that you want to leave." Chu Meng sneered, "Tell me honestly, did you completely forget you still have a task?"

"No, I always remembered," Gu An replied.

"Very well, splendid indeed, claiming loyalty with one mouth, striving wholeheartedly with the other, just wait until I go back and make trouble for you, this time you won’t be able to walk," Chu Meng said viciously.

Gu An pointed to the tree and said, "I was logging for you."

He then picked the fruit and handed it to Chu Meng.

Keeping it was useless for himself, better to give it to the other party.

"This thing is useless," Chu Meng looked and stored it, "I’ll reluctantly take it, but the trouble is still necessary."

After a pause, she curiously asked, "Do you know what’s underground?"

"Is there something?" He hadn’t noticed anything while digging.

"Your people say there is something, they say there’s a powerful small tower, who knows if it’s true, hurry up and dig, if you find it I profit," Chu Meng said.

"Don’t I get a share?" Gu An asked.

"Do you want it?" Chu Meng asked.

Gu An shook his head, "I don’t want it."

"Don’t want it? Then I’ll give it all to you, that way I won’t feel guilty about giving you trouble. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

As your superior, being so good to you, giving you such a treasure, yet you actually forgot the task.

You’re delaying your superior’s progress.

If you don’t advance, how can I, your superior, advance?" Chu Meng said indignantly.

Gu An: "...."

Not saying more, Gu An began digging.

*Let’s see what could be dug up.*

Soon, he dug up some bones and some storage treasures.

Additionally, there were even some treasure boxes.

"This corpse is probably what they are looking for," Chu Meng said.

Then she looked through it, found a treasure box, and said, "This is probably it, your people said there’s a treasure inside, the changes here are all because of this treasure."

Gu An took it and opened it, finding that there was indeed a tower inside.

"What is this?" Gu An asked.

"Don’t know, it’s definitely not an ordinary thing," Chu Meng closely examined it, handing it to Gu An, "It’s a gift for you."

Gu An looked bewildered, then handed it back to Chu Meng, "No thanks, I’m not worthy."

"Then I don’t want it either," Chu Meng put the item back in the box, tossed it back into the ground, "Let’s bury it again."

Gu An, looking puzzled, promptly filled the dirt back in.

Tower: "..."

With everything done, Gu An asked with curiosity, "Do you know this tower?"

Chu Meng glanced around and said, "If I’m not mistaken, it should be the legendary Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Tower, I’ve heard it’s cursed, whoever takes it gets unlucky."

Gu An: "...."

And yet you offered it to me.

"Let’s go, let’s go, leave these bones here, let those below come up to get them themselves, let’s go finish the task.

As for the tower, let them take it if they want," Chu Meng remarked.

Gu An felt the same, he already had enough trouble, getting that cursed thing would bring life-threatening risks.

Luckily, he didn’t need any extra opportunities.

His current opportunity was entirely sufficient.

As they descended the mountain, Gu An asked curiously, "Where are your two maids?"

"Off cooking," Chu Meng replied casually.

"Which maids are they?" Gu An inquired.

"The first and the fourth maid," Chu Meng answered while munching on peanuts.

She even offered Gu An a handful of peanuts.

Afterward, Gu An asked about the task.

"It’s simple, you need to impersonate Zuo Youyan, then kill someone, and snatch something," Chu Meng explained.

"What are we snatching?" Gu An asked, curious.

"Have you heard of the Blood Demon Hall?" Chu Meng said seriously, "It’s said to have a long heritage, its founder, the Blood Demon Hall Master, possessed extraordinary powers.

Even today, it’s still in the top ranks.

They love collecting the blood of various strange creatures.

This time, they came here to enter the core of the secret realm and seize the ancient Demon Beast’s blood.

That’s what we must steal."

"Why use Zuo Youyan?" Gu An was puzzled.

"Heard Zuo Youyan has a grudge against them, isn’t stealing from them reasonable?" Chu Meng replied.

Gu An: "..."

But Zuo Youyan is me.

Additionally, what’s the deal with the Blood Demon Hall?

Is it related to the Blood Demon Divine Monarch?
