After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 983 - 574: Visiting the Daoist Orthodoxies

Chapter 983: Chapter 574: Visiting the Daoist Orthodoxies

Make changes before acting.

Gu An did not rush to leave this place.

After all, he still needed to wait for the three Western Constellations.

Once resolved, they could leave.

Additionally, there was the Emperor of Beifang.

He was also in this place, with formidable strength.

Many directives from the Heavenly Court were issued by him.

Also, Gu An had received a contact token.

"Senior, what do you think I should do?" Gu An asked Chu Meng.

Chu Meng shrugged, "Can you defeat him?"

"Hard to say, possibly not." Gu An replied honestly.

Chu Meng nodded and continued, "Then do you want to take the risk and fight him?"

Gu An pondered for a moment, "In principle, I shouldn’t fight him, as it’s extremely dangerous. But..."

"But you need an extraordinary battle to ascend to Daluo, right?" Chu Meng asked, looking at Gu An.

Hearing this, Gu An nodded slightly, "Yes, I no longer know my limits and want to test them."

Aiming for Daluo ascension is not that simple.

He felt he had enough, but something was still missing.

It wasn’t about hard cultivation values but a sense of spirit.

A kind of understanding, integration, and embodiment of the Dao.

In short, it couldn’t be verbalized and needed to be expressed through battle. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

However, he indeed was not yet at the time to ascend.

In the end, Gu An decided to delay any conflict with the Emperor of Beifang.

He’d continue to subdue various races or the Heavenly Court’s influence.

Then he would cut down some Divine Books, see if he could elevate his status to the utmost.

With that, he could consider the matter of Daluo ascension.

As to what constituted the peak state, he was unsure.

The realm had been reached, but.....

The opportunity had not.

"I thought you would decide to go directly," Chu Meng said.

"No rush, some things cannot be hurried," Gu An said, "It’s just like taking a stroll, witnessing various landscapes."

Besides logging, he wanted to see this world’s landscapes and meet various races.

Coincidentally, primordial creatures were awakening, and the Ten Thousand Races were surfacing.

It was a perfect opportunity to understand the world’s beginning and end.

Perhaps once that understanding was enough, he could seek the Emperor of Beifang.

Then, he would wait.

Seven days later, the remaining Western Constellations finally arrived.

When they saw Gu An and heard the words of the other constellations.

They froze.

"Traitor."

The three were extremely agitated.

Ultimately, when Gu An gripped the hilt of his knife.

They chose to defect.

Gu An felt that these people betrayed very quickly.

They were likely to betray again in the future.

But it didn’t matter, as long as they were useful to Senior Brother Hua.

If they betray, so be it. They’ll deal with it then.

After that, Gu An still did not leave the Netherworld clan.

He wanted to meet more primordial creatures, aside from finding them himself, there was another choice.

That was to use the Netherworld clan to get to know them.

After all, outsiders were unaware the Netherworld clan had already been assimilated.

However, everyone else had been asked to leave.

Especially the Yousu Clan and the Western Constellations.

They all went to find Senior Brother Hua.

Of course, Gu An also sent over the related items.

Not only that, but he also collected five million Spirit Stones from the Netherworld clan.

At this moment, the old man of the Netherworld clan felt heartfelt yet helpless.

Because Gu An wouldn’t leave.

They had to be careful in dealing with him.

No matter what they did, they had to tread carefully, for fear of annoying him.

Otherwise, at the slightest excuse, their Netherworld clan could vanish.

Half a month later.

Gu An roughly understood the situation of the Netherworld clan; they needed vitality, whether from birth or death, it would gather a sense of Qi.

This was a kind of Dao Essence, life and death reincarnation, nourishing all things.

So the Netherworld clan was stronger than many races.

But inherent Dao Essence meant that to fully walk the path of the Dao, it was extremely difficult.

The person before had a chance to ascend to Daluo, which was also remarkably talented.

Gu An had some curiosity about this person.

Wanted to visit them.

Perhaps he could gain some insights from over there.

When Gu An mentioned this to the old man of the Netherworld clan, the latter felt the day had finally come.

But he dared not refuse.

He needed to make some arrangements.

Gu An watched him leave, puzzled, "Why does it seem like he’s so dejected?"

"Their clan’s Heavenly Pride is about to be tormented by you; how could they be happy?" Chu Meng said casually.

Gu An thought he had no ulterior motives.

But Chu Meng told him that once cultivation reached this level, it wasn’t just about what he wanted.

Every action he took would be interpreted.

And countermeasures would be enacted.

Because if they didn’t interpret them well, they could face utter disaster.

Gu An was silent for a moment; indeed.

Once, he was always interpreting the thoughts of others.

Chu Meng, or the superior in charge.

Perhaps they had no thoughts at all, but as a weaker party, he had to speculate.

Up to now, he still couldn’t understand why the Elixir Pill was given to him, so he had to continue speculating.

After all, this was something the previous Hall Master searched for tirelessly.

To be used on himself, without any purpose, he couldn’t believe it.

Thus, the Netherworld clan would think the same.

Gu An could do nothing about it.

The next day.

They went to a secret chamber.

"Please, senior." The elder led the way.

Gu An was quite curious and asked, "Is he unable to advance for now?"

"Yes, perhaps the opportunity hasn’t arrived yet." The elder said.

He felt bitter in his heart.

No one expected to encounter such an event at this critical juncture.

But since it happened, one can only face it and think of ways to survive.

As long as they get through this great crisis, they will be stable.

Soon, Gu An and the others arrived deep underground, where the lava boiled.

In the middle of the lava, there was a huge stone platform.

Gu An saw a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged there.

"Here we are." The elder bowed his head and said, "I shall take my leave, then."

Gu An came alone, so he stepped forward and landed on the stone platform.

At this moment, the middle-aged man slowly opened his eyes.

He looked at the visitor, finally standing up respectfully and saying, "Greetings, senior."

The strength of the person in front of him was already beyond what he could compare.

Naturally, he called him senior.

Gu An nodded slightly. After he had eradicated the Qingqiu Clan, many people had to fear him threefold.

He stared at the person before him, and after a long time, said, "How did you advance to Daluo, and how was it interrupted?"

The other person’s Dao was in harmony with the surroundings, but Gu An couldn’t discern how he advanced to Daluo.

He didn’t feel that the other person had the potential to advance.

The middle-aged man sighed softly, "I want to enter the Dao through Reincarnation."

Gu An furrowed his brows even tighter, "You only carry the aura of life and death, where is the aura of Reincarnation?"

"Isn’t life and death also Reincarnation?" the middle-aged man asked.

Gu An shook his head, "If you’re saying the transformation between life and death is a form of Reincarnation, you’re right, but Reincarnation is absolutely not merely the transformation of life and death.

Reincarnation is the alternation of day and night, the cycles of all things, it is unceasing life, it is endless abundance, it is endless and never-ending.

Life and death are too one-sided."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man was briefly stunned, but soon shook his head again, "Life and death rotate, extinction and rebirth form a circle.

This is Reincarnation.

I prove the Dao through life and death, molding Reincarnation."

Gu An felt the Dao aura on the other person erupt.

But he didn’t feel much, only sensed void.

Then he spoke again.

And the other person always had his own opinion.

Finally, Gu An fell silent. He originally thought that by speaking, he could make the other person gain enlightenment, showcasing his prowess.

It seemed unlikely.

The Dao inherently isn’t like this.

Gu An shook his head and said, "It turns out that discussing the Dao is about who argues better.

But no matter how it’s argued, this is just superficial.

It wasn’t the Dao in the first place."

The Dao cannot be evident nor defined.

Whether Reincarnation or life and death, others are the same.

But the moment one speaks of it, it is not the Dao.

But Gu An still felt that the other person couldn’t prove Daluo.

After that, he turned and left.

And the other person just stood there in a daze.

He sat silently over there.

He couldn’t achieve Daluo.

Although it’s because of the fall of the Netherworld Tree, yet.....

How could a true Daluo fail due to such a thing?

So does his path not belong to the Dao?

He fell into self-doubt.

Yet he couldn’t walk away from it.

Gu An also didn’t pay any heed to the other person.

The Dao cannot be conveyed through words.

Only when Gu An left, did the other person once again fall into seclusion.

Gu An just glanced back, then left.

The elder had been waiting outside for a long time, curious about what had happened inside.

"It was just a discussion on the Dao, nothing important." Gu An said casually.

The other person remained silent.

Is this not important?

But he sensed the Heavenly Pride in seclusion, with an aura that felt different.

Sometimes good, sometimes bad, he couldn’t discern.

It was out of his control.

"By the way, some special races have awoken, learned of the existence of the Netherworld Clan, and sent invitations, hoping we’ll come over to sit and discuss major events." The elder said.

Upon hearing this, Gu An was somewhat curious and asked, "What is the so-called major event?"

The elder felt somewhat embarrassed and said, "It should be related to matters concerning the Heavenly Court and Cangmu Sect, specifically unknown.

But it is said that some ancient existences are involved, such as the Nether Sea Clan, who have likely sent people.

The Nether Sea Clan is a very special race; they have a natural suppression over the Human Clan, and can even grow stronger by consuming humans.

This clan and the Human Clan cannot coexist.

This has always been the case since ancient times.

But it’s said in their clan, there are gods and demons present, making them difficult to kill, all due to the unique abilities of this divine wood.

Abilities similar to that of an Immortal Body."

Gu An nodded and said, "Do you know what the Nether Sea Clan intends to do now?"

"This cannot be determined, but it’s definitely aimed at restoring their god; they haven’t gone to Cangmu Sect yet, possibly because this god sensed something and decided to wait." The elder said.

Gu An didn’t ask more, after all, the other party wasn’t far from the Sect, presumably not as free as expected.

First, he would focus on other races.

He then took six invitation letters from the elder’s hands.

All invitations for this year.

Some months even had duplicates.

In the end, Gu An chose three races.

The Earth Spirit Clan from Xilinmu Prefecture, the Heavenly Eye Clan from Nanyue Chenzhou, and the Heavenly Human Race from East Road Ancient State.

Chu Meng knew about it and was quite curious, "Are you just going to walk across every Great State?"

"Pretty much, just nice to visit various Daoist Orthodox Sects and Daoist Orthodox Races.

Of course, to visit these races first, I’ll go in the guise of the Netherworld Clan." Gu An said with a smile.
