After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 988 - 578: Fire Phoenix: The Cangmu Sect Exists to Be Our Charging Slaves
Revise first, then submit.

Gu An stayed in this courtyard for three days.
During these three days, he had others inquire about the Tianwei Taoist Temple and see who the Heavenly Eye Clan had invited.
To see if it was related to the Heavenly Court or other Daoist Orthodox Sects.
Originally, he planned to investigate after entering, but since everyone was resting, he naturally wanted to investigate first.
On this day, Gu An was still hesitating whether to chop down the Peach Tree.
By logic, chopping it down now is best.
After all, the Queen Mother of the West was being held up. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
But it would also provoke the Queen Mother of the West.
If she gave up targeting the Cangmu Sect and instead targeted him, what chance of victory would there be?
It’s probably very low.
Unless other Daluo protectors stood guard for him.
Gu An looked at Chu Meng initially.
"If you’re going to chop it down, just do it. If something happens, you still have the Eye of Heavenly Punishment; she can’t touch you unless she restores to her peak condition." Chu Meng said casually.
Gu An nodded, so he could entirely rest for a while longer before heading to the Heavenly Eye Clan.
It all depended on when the conference of the Heavenly Eye Clan would start.
However, the invitation from the Heavenly Eye Clan mentioned sharing cosmic secrets of the Dao.
It’s merely an excuse.
Everyone understands.
Big changes are coming, and everyone needs to form alliances to avoid being affected by the struggle between the Heavenly Court and the new era.
With enough comrades, they won’t be annexed.
They could have relative freedom.
Who wants to be their spearhead, leading to the eventual extinction of their people?
No one cares about them.
If the clan gets wiped out, so be it.
Only by uniting and becoming a dominant force can they preserve themselves.
Gu An agreed with this.
If several Daluo emerged among them, he wouldn’t bother to approach.
At least not now.
Moreover, their neutrality is unfeasible.
Being neutral is possible, but they should be neutral in the Heavenly Court’s territory.
Not in the new era’s territory.
If something internally gets disrupted, that’s troublesome.
Gu An doesn’t think this Demon Sect of Cangmu has such appeal that others wouldn’t act.
If they confront the Heavenly Court and become vulnerable, they’d likely be besieged.
"Sir, Miss, Nanyu and the others are requesting an audience." Chunyu quietly reported.
After that, the two individuals were brought in.
"Sir," they greeted respectfully.
Gu An nodded and said, "Have you gained anything?"
"Yes, the Tianwei Taoist Temple indeed closed its doors, claiming to isolate for five hundred years." Nanyu seriously stated, "They recalled most disciples, then activated the sect’s great formation, even using Dao Essence to hide in the void.
Making it very difficult to locate.
Some ancient clans wanted to visit but found no way.
Additionally, rumors say they met with the Heavenly Court before isolating.
They likely accepted favors from the Heavenly Court, thus staying out of subsequent affairs.
Leaving the Cangmu Sect isolated without aid."
"Accepted favors from the Heavenly Court?" Gu An softly asked, "Meaning they are affiliated with the Heavenly Court?"
Nanyu and the others paused.
After careful thought, they found it reasonable and finally nodded, saying, "One could reckon so, but they haven’t opposed us."
This "us" naturally referred to the Cangmu Sect.
Gu An shook his head, saying, "A friend of the enemy is the enemy."
The two didn’t dare say more.
Thus, those related to the Heavenly Court are all enemies.
They must find a way to eliminate them.
Even unrelated ones pose hidden threats; those unwilling to join the Cangmu Sect harbor ulterior motives.
They should be eradicated too.
Understandably, anyone not with them is the enemy.
The two nodded emphatically.
Gu An didn’t know what they were nodding for.
Later, Luo Jin spoke of the Heavenly Eye Clan, mentioning they claimed to perceive the source of the Dao.
Claiming to share it with everyone.
This was an opportunity for the Ten Thousand Races.
"The Heavenly Eye Clan indeed can see what ordinary people can’t, so their words hold credibility. But speaking of the source of the Dao seems exaggerated. They likely spotted something remarkable, bringing others over.
If there were truly something extraordinary, they wouldn’t share it." Luo Jin asserted seriously.
Nanyu added, "Besides, some of the invited clans approached us; it’s the Fire Phoenix Clan. They seem to be probing about the Qingqiu Clan; should we meet them?"
Gu An was mildly surprised, not expecting to meet the Fire Phoenix Clan.
He still recalled the imposing momentum of the Fire Phoenix Clan’s visit to the Cangmu Sect.
The terrifying pressure made it difficult for him to breathe.
Now it seemed not as strong.
He didn’t know when it began, but the Fire Phoenix Clan was no longer intimidating to him.
Though there were still many clans that he feared.
But Daluo is required.
Daluo is rare.
Aside from Daoist Orthodox Sects, basically, only the Heavenly Court has Daluo.
Others, even if they exist, are half-dead.
For instance, the Yousu Ancestor.
She’s a God and Demon, but her strength significantly declined.
Seemingly due to the era’s changes, her strength gradually dissipates.
God and Demon rely on the cosmic Dao; as the Dao evolves, more power is retracted.
If it’s self-cultivated, even if dormant, it’s easier to recover.
"Let’s meet them. The Fire Phoenix Clan is a great clan; let’s see their stance, then decide whether to invite them to join us." Gu An proposed.
The two understood.
They then sent a message outward.
Soon, two individuals arrived in Gu An’s courtyard.
At this point, Nanyu and the two had already sat down; a table seats six people.
Seeing the two women enter, Nanyu stretched out his hand and said, "Please."
Then began introducing Gu An to the two individuals: "They are the Honored Guest Elders of the Netherworld Clan, here to protect us safely this time.
They have soaked in the Netherworld and are absolutely loyal to the Netherworld Clan.
There’s no need for the two Immortals to worry about this."
