After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 538 - 352: The Master of the First Institute Is So Pitiful
Two days ago.
The Cangmu Sect was enveloped by the warm Buddha Light.
At that time, Cangmu Sect was on the verge of being breached by powerful Demon Beasts.
Many were not on the front lines, but everyone could feel the terrifying force constantly bombarding the sect’s protective array.
Even the formidable Night Barrier felt as if it was about to collapse.
Many believed that the Cangmu Sect was doomed.
But who could have known that the Buddhists would intervene.
Under the illumination of the Buddha Light, countless Demon Beasts were suppressed, some even burst and died.
And the Buddhists did not ask for any compensation.
After helping to suppress the Demon Beasts, they simply vanished.
Truly the Saint Monks of the era.
Unfortunately, their names are unknown.
But it didn’t affect the glorious image of the Buddhists among the many disciples of Cangmu Sect.
This is what it means to be compassionate.
For a while, the good name of the Buddhists was spread by thousands of people.
The high-levels of Cangmu Sect felt the same way, allowing everyone to promote the name of the Buddhists.
Their action to repay grievance with kindness was truly exemplary of the many Immortal Sects.
They hoped other Immortal Sects could do the same, to protect the weak Cangmu Sect.
Gu An felt the sect decrees issued by the high-levels had become somewhat altered.
But it didn’t affect the good name of the Buddhists.
Yet he still couldn’t comprehend, the Buddhists were indeed so compassionate.
He had all kinds of speculations initially, really judging a noble person with a petty heart.
"Indeed, I was narrow-minded."
The Buddhists not only helped the Cangmu Sect, which they associated with the Demon Sect, but showed no signs of troubling him.
Initially, he thought they would certainly come to check on him again, even if they found nothing, they would make Cangmu Sect give an account.
Who would have thought, the Buddhists had no intention of making things difficult for him.
The two he encountered before might have been novice monks, too impulsive.
They can’t compare to seasoned senior monks.
Without a true heart of compassion.
"Next time if I encounter Buddhists, I should show them more respect."
Gu An thought to himself.
Now the Buddhist threat was gone, the threat from Demon Beasts was gone, and Immortal Xue Ying has rediscovered her conscience.
Many issues had faded away.
Though the trouble with the Zhuanlun lineage remains, it should be more stable than before.
Then Gu An took a deep breath; tomorrow will be November.
It’s highly likely the day when the Divine Monarch Hall opens again.
If it doesn’t open, all the better.
Nowadays, he doesn’t really want to enter the Divine Monarch Hall.
He always felt it was easy for others to see he’s pretending to be a Divine Monarch.
Unfortunately, that evening, he received news that the Divine Monarch Hall will open on November 1st.
Gu An was sitting in the courtyard when Fat Tiger immediately informed him about the opening of Divine Monarch Hall.
Upon hearing this, Gu An looked at Fat Tiger and pondered for a moment before asking: "Senior, what do you think will happen this time when Divine Monarch Hall opens?"
"The existence of Divine Monarch Hall revolves around trading, mainly focused on transactions, the only potential surprise involves Huan Yu Divine Monarch and Nine Heavens Divine Monarch, a direct confrontation between them isn’t impossible." Fat Tiger paused and said: "Nine Heavens Divine Monarch stays nearby for the Eye of Heavenly Punishment.
So, brother must be extremely cautious.
If he proposes a trade in the Divine Monarch Hall, then Eight Sounds Divine Monarch might also come searching for the Eye of Heavenly Punishment.
She would find it extremely convenient with the Music Box."
Gu An hesitated for a moment and asked, "What if we hand over the Eye of Heavenly Punishment to them?"
The Blood Demon Divine Monarch was taken aback and said, "Nine Heavens Divine Monarch has certainly not been exposed to the Eye of Heavenly Punishment.
If he were to unseal it, then brother and Little Blood would quickly be engulfed by flames.
Your life would be in his hands.
Little Blood’s death would be negligible, but someone like you should carve out a path, not let others control your life or death."
Gu An nodded to show he understood.
At this moment, Blood Demon Divine Monarch continued: "Brother need not worry, the Nine Heavens Divine Monarch is indeed formidable, but as long as Little Blood is given time, even he cannot act arbitrarily against us."
Gu An looked at him and asked, "Is there any possibility of cooperation with Nine Heavens Divine Monarch?"
The Blood Demon Divine Monarch shook his head: "No, Nine Heavens Divine Monarch has never cooperated with anyone, almost everything about him is legend.
No one has had substantial contact.
There’s possibility of transactional cooperation, but there have never been alliances."
Gu An sighed inwardly, that’s fine too.
At least one doesn’t have to worry about exposure through interaction.
Still, as Nine Heavens Divine Monarch, eventually, he would need to engage in trade with others.
Currently, it seems he has little to offer as compensation.
If he encounters information only he knows, what should he do when others look his way?
It’s extremely difficult to not be exposed.
Hua Jiyang probably never intended for him to pretend to be the real Nine Heavens Divine Monarch.
He was given things without explanation on how to use them.
Hua Jiyang indeed has an excess of Spirit Stones.
Reduce them by half next time.
After discussing further, Gu An left the Heavenly Suspension Peak.
The sect has somewhat recovered now, so the Outer Peak shouldn’t be as dangerous.
Along the way, he heard many talking about Buddhists.
All expressing gratitude towards them.
And some felt the sect was too weak.
Under such a Major Sect as the Buddhist, it seemed rather vulnerable.
Some said because they primarily belong to a logging sect, they naturally can’t compare to the compassionate, savior-like Buddhists.
Others argued the sect isn’t weak, but the enemy was just too strong.
Listening to all this, Gu An felt contemplative; he didn’t understand the specific situation.
But ultimately, it was indeed the Buddhists who resolved the enemy.
Top officials of the sect have given their affirmation.
Returning to the Outer Peak, Gu An saw Dugu Jing.
Seeing him, Gu An was startled but still remained calm.
Of course, he would show appropriate surprise: "Why is Senior Brother here?"
"To discuss some matters with Junior Brother and ask about certain things." Dugu Jing came along with his deputy Ye Feihua.
