Chapter 436: Chapter 303: Give Anything You Can’t Handle to Your Superior (Part 2)

The moment it opened, Gu An was slightly surprised.

Inside, there was only a transparent round box.

"What is this thing?" Gu An took it out, feeling a bit puzzled.

He observed it closely and found white mist inside the box.

There was no opening, and it couldn’t be opened.

This made Gu An even more curious.

He moved closer to inspect it.

Just as he approached, the white mist inside suddenly began to surge.

The mist suddenly dispersed, and a pair of blood-red eyes appeared in front of Gu An.

This sudden scene was so horrifying that Gu An instinctively threw the box away.

But then Gu An suddenly felt a stinging pain in his eyes.

Then his vision started to burn with red flames, threatening to engulf Gu An entirely.

The heat of the flames appeared instantly, and the pain spread quickly.

When he looked at his arm, it was directly on fire, but within a few breaths, his arm could withstand the strange flames.

The severe pain hit, and then there was no feeling.

The flame was climbing up his arm, ready to burn him completely.

So, Gu An’s strength finally responded, pressing against it immediately.

But he couldn’t suppress it.

Next, Xuanhuang Qi was mobilized, and Qi Sea Gang Qi also began to circulate within his body.

The Qinglian Xuanhuang Scripture quickly operated.

Under these circumstances, there was finally some improvement, and the flames couldn’t continue spreading.

However, the flame in his eyes was still burning, and the flames in his vision were about to burn him completely.

Even when he closed his eyes, the red flames continued.

*Gu An couldn’t understand what this thing was.*

But he could only keep running the Qinglian Xuanhuang Scripture, mobilizing the Qi Sea Gang Qi and generating Xuanhuang Qi within himself.

It wasn’t until the second half of the night that the Xuanhuang Qi finally covered the flame.

His arm also regained feeling.

Before dawn, the flames were completely extinguished.

But Gu An was entirely exhausted and couldn’t get up.

He wanted to rest, but suddenly caught sight of the transparent round box.

He noticed the box was burning with red flames.

In an instant, Gu An felt as though the sky had fallen.

He almost died just from a glance.

If it were to come out, not even hundreds of lives would suffice.

How many times could a glance from it burn him to death?

Gu An immediately thought of Immortal Cheng’s Storage Treasure.

He quickly placed the box into the treasure.

However...

The flame started to burn through the treasure.

The mysterious red flames burned through the Storage Treasure.

With a clatter, the round box broke through and fell to the ground.

*Gu An instinctively retreated two steps, frightened.*

*What on earth is this thing?*

He suddenly remembered the conversation of Immortal Cheng and others. Could Immortal Cheng have been the one suppressing this thing?

So she was sure no one would kill her?

If only Immortal Cheng could suppress this thing.

Then indeed, no one would want to kill her.

This was her capital for being so arrogant and domineering.

But Immortal Cheng was already dead.

*What now?*

"What if I am just overthinking this?"

Gu An felt the flame would only burn, and the thing inside shouldn’t come out.

Then Gu An concentrated the Qi Sea Sky Gang and fused it with Xuanhuang Qi to cover it.

Today, Gu An had to claim he was feeling unwell and not go logging.

An entire day went by.

The flames were finally extinguished.

Xuanhuang Qi was layered on, one after another.

But Gu An could still feel it, completely unable to suppress it. The flames would burn again tonight.

It would likely grow bigger with each burn.

So, after extinguishing the flame, Gu An took the box and left the forest immediately.

He finally found a pond deep in the mountains.

Not daring to delay, he dove underwater, broke the ground, and buried the box.

He also laid down some seals around it.

Only then did Gu An quickly leave.

This kind of treasure should be held by someone virtuous.

*He was neither virtuous nor talented, so it was better to give up.*

That night, Gu An returned to his residence, breathing a heavy sigh of relief.

*If there were an abnormality in the back mountain, it would certainly attract the attention of those around.*

*There were indeed quite a few spies in the logging, and if they discovered anything, they would inform the experts.*

Thus, a senior would definitely handle that thing.

Anyway, he was powerless.

*Even if the sky fell, there had to be someone taller to hold it up.*

But once back at his residence, Gu An felt something was odd.

His body was indeed fine.

But.....

Every time he closed his eyes, he felt a flame burning before him.

"What is going on?"

Gu An didn’t think too much, just felt he had left a psychological shadow.

Perhaps it would be okay after some time.

Yet, the next night, when Gu An closed his eyes, he seemed to see something emerging from within the flame.

Mist swirled around the flame.

On the third night.

Gu An saw the mist begin to churn.

On the fourth night, the mist started to burn in the flame, and something seemed to be trying to emerge.

*His heart was pounding.*

*His intuition told him he was doomed.*

The moment that thing emerged, he might not escape.

*It had seen him, and that gaze wouldn’t let him go.*

He dared not linger, and Gu An opened the door and left the room.

When he returned to the pond, he was horrified to find it already engulfed in flames.

The water in the pond had dried up, and the box just lay there, burning everything around it.

The red eyes twisted madly, trying to break through the transparent box.

*Gu An broke into a cold sweat.*

This time, he didn’t need to close his eyes to feel that the thing was constantly burning.

In the end, he chose to suppress it.

He didn’t return for three days and successfully extinguished the flame.

But looking at the box, ready to explode at any moment, he fell silent.

*He simply couldn’t suppress it for long.*

*Even running the Qinglian Xuanhuang Scripture nonstop wasn’t enough.*

Finally, Gu An thought of the Age Chen Twelve Stars, which might be able to seal it.

It was the most powerful sealing skill he had encountered so far.

After sealing the Heavy Stone in the First Star, Gu An used the Second Star, Dan’e, on the box.

Then Dan’e covered the box, and it returned to Gu An’s hand.

It seemed fine.

However, after returning to his residence, Gu An found the flames beginning to burn within the Second Star.

Gu An summoned it and saw the flames inside continually burning.

In no more than three months, it could burn through the Second Star along with himself.

Fortunately, the flames before him disappeared.

"This isn’t right, such a thing, it should be handed over."

*This thing was simply not something he could provoke.*

*He should let the Blood Demon Divine Monarch see it after extinguishing the flame once more, and if it couldn’t be handled, pass it to Chu Meng; if the subordinate couldn’t manage it, the superior had to, right?*

Failing that, he would hand it over to the Merit Hall.

The Merit Hall surely wouldn’t refuse?

This thing looked like something valuable.

Senior Brother Mei might even thank him.

But he had to return quickly.

So...

He accelerated his progress.

He went straight for the Core Spiritual Tree, and then he could return.

Whether he achieved merit was no longer important; if he delayed any longer, he’d end up dying from this mysterious box sooner or later.

*Indeed, he wasn’t cautious enough.*

*Reckless.*

The next day, Gu An sought out the person in charge and told them he had returned.

After that, he went back to the third team of loggers.

He used the Blood Spirit to spy on the core Spirit Stone’s location, directing Luu Yan to adjust the direction.

Though he also wished to stay logging, time waited for no one.

Cangmu Sect.

Spirit Bamboo Peak.

Chu Meng sat in position, fiddling with spiritual medicine.

But suddenly, she felt her eyelids twitch violently.

"What’s going on? I feel like some troublesome matter is about to arise."

She immediately called for Chunyu.

"Miss." Chunyu bowed respectfully.

"Is there any news from the clan?" Chu Meng asked.

Chunyu shook her head, "No, but things aren’t quiet; it seems a lot has happened internally."

Chu Meng pondered for a moment, "Anything happening in the Sect?"

"Nothing major." Chunyu shook his head.

"Any changes in the Outer Peak Six Courtyard?"

"Four courtyards took up tasks, but they are all routine tasks. Even the head of the First Institute, who usually causes trouble, just went for land development, and nothing major has occurred. Besides, I heard a lot of people died during the development, but it wasn’t the head."

"Why?"

"I heard a Returning to Void died, and that person is only at the Golden Core Late Stage, so no one suspects anything."

Chu Meng pondered for a moment, "Anything wrong with the people who died?"

Chunyu respectfully replied, "Nothing much with others, but that Returning to Void and the one with her were likely spies from elsewhere in the Sect. The specifics aren’t confirmed yet."

Chu Meng thought it over and felt these issues were probably not significant.

The Cangmu Sect seemed unafraid of spies lately.
