After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In

Chapter 382: Chapter 278: Poison Pill Breakthrough (Part 2)

They didn’t seem to understand what had happened either, but the Fire Phoenix Clan had left.

Could they continue to fight, continue to snatch?

After all, the terrifying might the Fire Phoenix Clan displayed when they first arrived made them apprehensive.

With the strength they currently had around the siege, there was no chance of winning.

Facing the entire Sect, it wouldn’t be like this, but the Fire Phoenix Clan only sent a few people.

No one wanted to leave such a huge hidden danger for themselves.

Taking back the Nirvana Dao Scripture would definitely provoke the Fire Phoenix Clan.

Since this is the case, let it be for now.

To recuperate and wait for an opportunity.

Or perhaps to secretly obtain the Nirvana Dao Scripture.

There will always be opportunities, especially since the first volume is openly available within the Cangmu Sect.

It is entirely possible to send spies in to observe the first volume.

Additionally, the person who obtained the Nirvana Dao Scripture is also in the Cangmu Sect, which may serve as a breakthrough point.

There are many ways to proceed covertly.

It’s not worth confronting openly.

But in just a few days, the crisis of the Cangmu Sect vanished like this.

Everything seemed to have returned to the way it was before.

Gu An felt that all of this was somewhat eerie.

Ever since the Fire Phoenix Clan appeared, things became strange.

Indeed, strong cultivation is needed.

As long as such a powerful individual arrives, no matter what they do, others around have to assess the situation carefully.

Once a mistake is made in the choice, it could be an irreversible disaster.

It’s just unknown what the Cangmu Sect is thinking.

Currently, there is no wind of any news.

But a week has passed, and the Sect seems to have started opening up the Exile Land, allowing some people to transplant Parasol Trees.

To plant Parasol Trees in some places of the Sect.

Many disciples from the foot of the Inner Sect were sent in.

The Outer Peak did not receive such an assignment.

But as those Sects retreated, the businesses of the Outer Peak began to recover.

Up to now, no follow-up issues have arisen.

In addition, the population of each Institute is continuing to grow.

It’s been said that quite a few people have been caught during this time.

Gu An feels that he will soon encounter a lot of trouble, and that elevating his cultivation is the top priority.

As for the Sect’s news, only Chu Meng and Hua Jiayang perhaps might know some of it.

However, Dongfang Changli has not appeared until now, and it is unknown whether he has left or not.

Afterward, Gu An started logging.

Moon Trees could only be cut down at night, so during the day he was Drawing a Prison, and at night he would cut trees.

Days went by, and the stats increased little by little.

By mid-month, Gu An felt almost ready.

Currently, there is still no significant change in the Sect.

It’s just that the back mountain seems to be bustling, but as it’s quite far from the Outer Peak, there’s not much of a feeling about it.

Especially since the business of the Outer Peak is getting better and better.

The Sects that were previously besieging have started to coordinate again.

But it’s not as blatant as before.

It seems that everyone is covering up.

After all, cooperating with the Demon Sect is not good if it’s too obvious.

Something also happened at the First Institute, where it seems some people are reluctant to go in.

They say that this is the most terrible place of the Demon Sect.

Outside, it’s all about how inhumane the First Institute is.

Gu An is slightly puzzled, isn’t he considered compassionate compared to the other Five Institutes?

Later, he sent Pang Wen to inquire and then learned that the First Institute had released quite a few people, none of whom had anything good to say about the First Institute.

After all, being caught and then threatened to write things, they couldn’t praise the First Institute for their own dignity.

And the other Five Institutes haven’t really let anyone go.

Thus, those who talk about the First Institute are more.

This has become a survivorship bias.

The First Institute has a terrible reputation on the Righteous Path.

However, some people should understand that the other Five Institutes are the most terrifying.

Gu An doesn’t care about this; if people want to go to the other institutes, that’s okay.

Respect their choices.

As long as he can get one person in exchange here.

Of course, there are also people who want to escape the First Institute, indeed some have broken the Sealing left by the Law Enforcement Hall.

But the Eight Sound Array is waiting for them.

It’s worth mentioning that Zhang San left two months ago.

But this month, he returned.

With familiar ease, he specifically requested to enter the First Institute.

However, he didn’t know how he should leave now.

Qiao He came back, brought back a thousand Spirit Stones and, as promised, Gu An let him go.

Leng Qingtao still hadn’t returned, she should be back soon.

Unless she has broken free from the Eight Sound Array.

Theoretically speaking, that’s not very likely.

However, none of these caused Gu An to take a trip to the First Institute in person, he basically let Pang Wen and the others handle it.

Meanwhile, his understanding of the Drawing a Prison technique grew deeper.

It seemed that with just one step further, he could comprehend this magic.

His progress in logging was steady yet improving.

[Magic: 49/50]

End of the month.

When the hard cultivation reached eighty-two, the magic finally hit fifty.

On this day at the end of March, Gu An looked at the somewhat dewy jungle, the rosy light was shining down from high above.

Watching all this, Gu An took a deep breath.

"Full at last, finally, I can experience the Great Success Qi Sea Sky Gang of the fourth volume."

The power increase of an incomplete Qi Sea Sky Gang wasn’t significant.

But once it achieves Great Success, the power increases manyfold.

It can be said that even the fourth volume of Qi Sea Sky Gang could unleash terrifying power in the Early Stage of Returning to Void.

In the Early Stage of Returning to Void, one doesn’t need to fear peers of the same rank.

After advancement, to not be bullied by peers, almost everything relied on this.

After all, I am not a genius, nor is my learning an ultimate skill.

What I rely on is this hard cultivation technique that ordinary people can’t master.

It’s all accumulated through hard work.

However, with The World’s First Blade, things are somewhat better than before.

Additionally, having tempered the Primordial Spirit a few times, it does have some effect.

Otherwise, based on my feeling, after advancement, I would almost always be in a not-so-strong status.

Facing the sunlight, Gu An placed his axe on a row of stones.

This time, it was to help a row with logging.

Of course, for Spirit Stones.

One hundred Spirit Stones.

Originally, it was more, but with more people in the Five Institutes, these small matters were also accepted.

The preaching of doctrine also started to become cheaper.

The capture of prisoners, to the Outer Peak, can be said to be a good thing.

Because the institutes would compete.

All for earning a few extra Spirit Stones.

Returning to the courtyard, Gu An closed the Barrier.

No one in sight.

As for those capable of breaking in themselves, Gu An couldn’t stop them.

Only after setting up an Array around.

Did Gu An finally sit down cross-legged and begin to extract the magic.

The dream began again.

No changes, just day after day of accumulation.

One year, ten years, a hundred years.

Until one day, Gu An felt the Qi Sea was covered by the Heavenly Gang.

Everything was full.

Thus, Gu An finally opened his eyes.

Feeling the Gang Qi in his Qi Sea, Gu An didn’t go out and released the Gang Qi directly in his residence.

He spent five thousand Spirit Stones and bought a large rock to withstand the force.

To test his strength.

After all, Qi Sea Sky Gang was quite demanding.

Then, he punched out.

Boom!

Visible cracks appeared in the huge stone.

But it quickly stabilized and began to recover.

This was a Magic Treasure.

According to the seller, if it could be made smaller or lighter, its value would be more than twenty times greater.

After releasing it, Gu An immediately felt changes in the Qi Sea.

Without any hesitation.

He immediately sat cross-legged and inspected his Qi Sea.

In an instant, he felt a great amount of Xuanhuang Qi surging out, intertwining with the Gang Qi and filling the Qi Sea.

Soon, Gu An saw that Elixir Pill.

At this moment, the Elixir Pill was covered in cracks, and as the Xuanhuang Qi gushed out continuously, followed by a "pop," the pill seemed to split open.

However, Gu An quickly discovered that it was just the surface of the Elixir Pill that cracked.

Inside was an irregularly shaped oval, like a seed.

And there were countless fine runes inscribed on the surface of the seed.

Out of curiosity, Gu An focused his mind on it.

As soon as his mindset touched the runes, Gu An felt something break through the shackles and rush into his mind.

In an instant, as if he were in an endless void, runes around him began to swirl, filling heaven and earth.

Finally, they transformed into lines of text, transmitting into his mind.

A pain beyond words forced him to sort through these incoming things.

As time passed, the text became clearer.

Until all the runes entered his mind.

Gu An finally saw the first line of text—

—"Qinglian Xuanhuang Scripture."
