Chapter 446: Chapter 308: Boss, Are You Trying to Get Me Killed? (Part 2)

"So, big brother, what will we do after twenty years?" the Blood Demon Divine Monarch asked.

"That’s up to you," Gu An looked at the Fat Tiger in front of him,

"I’ve heard the Heavenly Maiden Lineage might be linked to the Divine Monarch Hall. After you recover, you can ask them.

Perhaps they can find a Suppression Method."

Fat Tiger said with a mournful face, "Big brother, can’t we think of another way?"

Gu An calmly looked at him and finally said, "But I can’t wait long, I’m about to be burned to death."

"Twenty years is too short. If I fail, then... what do we do? The Eye of Heavenly Punishment burning is no ordinary death, there’s no saving from it," the Blood Demon Divine Monarch said, looking at Gu An.

Gu An just looked at him and said, "Is there a way to save me?"

The Blood Demon Divine Monarch: "...."

After hesitating, he cautiously asked, "Big brother, what realm are you at with the Blood Evil Great Movement?"

"Great Perfection," Gu An replied.

The Blood Demon Divine Monarch lowered his eyebrows, feeling that life had no more hope.

*It was utterly hopeless.*

Now he had only two choices: one was to be removed by the opponent using the Blood Evil Great Movement and die instantly,

or to be looked at by the Eye of Heavenly Punishment and wait to die after twenty years.

During which the Eye of Heavenly Punishment would constantly be beneath him,

ready to burn him completely at any moment.

*Life had never been this despairing.*

*He thought he could slowly wait for recovery until one day he could leave here and roam freely in the world.*

*He hadn’t expected the dream to shatter so quickly.*

*There was no future left.*

*He had never heard of anyone being able to survive after being seen.*

*Even the Heavenly Girl, in the end, was burned.*

Gu An did not speak further, just looked at him.

*There were no other trees left for him to choose.*

*If there were two trees, he wouldn’t be so cruel; what he said was right,* *even if there was no merit, there was hard work.*

*There was no need to push him to death.*

*However, he still had some cards up his sleeve.*

If it really didn’t work, in twenty years, he could always improve the Age Cycle Twelve Stars to the Sixth Star.

Even if not, if he improved his cultivation, the Qinglian Xuanhuang Scripture would surely become even more powerful.

The Xuanhuang Qi would also increase substantially.

Perhaps it could buy him some time.

*At least the end wasn’t in sight.*

*There was hope.*

*But he couldn’t leave for long.*

Seeing that the Blood Demon Divine Monarch didn’t respond, Gu An didn’t say much more and started to set up the Array.

He just needed to follow the Array as left by Chu Meng.

It wasn’t too difficult.

If there was something he didn’t understand, he could still ask the Blood Demon Divine Monarch.

Soon, the Array was set up, and he also dug a pit under the tree.

Now he focused his gaze on the Blood Demon Divine Monarch, waiting to see if he’d jump into this pit.

*He actually offered the Blood Demon Divine Monarch a third choice.*

*To peel him off and, before he dissipated, seal him in the Second Star.*

There might still be a way to live.

But...

If one day an accident occurred and he needed to seal the Eye of Heavenly Punishment without having learned another star, he might be sent into the Second Star.

In that case, there’d be nothing he could do.

*But this could only serve as a hidden option, as it required revealing his mastery of the Age Cycle Twelve Stars.*

*For now, it wasn’t suitable.*

Gu An’s calm, even somewhat indifferent expression,

left the Blood Demon Divine Monarch with no choice.

*He eventually approached the transparent box under Gu An’s gaze, and, as expected, the mist inside began to churn.*

Then a blood-red eye appeared.

Fat Tiger stepped back immediately.

Fortunately, the flames burned in the air.

Gu An realized one had to dodge this way.

But it was useless, as the flames were already upon the Blood Demon Divine Monarch.

Burning began.

Fortunately, the Array vibrated, suppressing the Eye of Heavenly Punishment.

The Spirit Stones used in the Array were prepared in advance by Gu An.

Next, he covered it with the Nine Heavens Soil, among other things.

As the Innate Thunder traveled along the Evergreen Tree,

the Sealing Array fully formed.

The Eye of Heavenly Punishment was sealed beneath the Evergreen Tree,

equivalent to the Blood Demon Divine Monarch living with it beneath his feet.

*Living in constant fear, always on guard, afraid to be turned to ash in an instant.*

When everything was over, Fat Tiger respectfully asked, "Big brother, what are the chances of us surviving in twenty years?"

He had discovered this Array was indeed remarkable; it seemed his big brother had someone backing him.

Gu An thought for a moment and replied, "It should be okay."

But he didn’t dare to make absolute assurances.

*After all, within around twenty years, it was unclear how much he could cultivate himself.*

*Perhaps he’d surpass Returning to Void.*

But if he did, would he be able to use the Sixth Star?

*It felt a bit challenging.*

"As long as there’s hope," Fat Tiger said.

Gu An looked at him and asked, "With these things helping, when can you actively reach the contacts?"

Fat Tiger pondered for a while and gave a cautious answer, "It should take about a year."

He didn’t dare to make promises.

*Currently, his life and death were truly in Gu An’s hands.*

After all, if the seal were broken, the fire would surely reach him.

Even hiding to the ends of the earth, he would still be burned thoroughly.

Gu An asked the Blood Demon Divine Monarch, "Do you know who is related to the Heavenly Girl?"

"I don’t know; during my time, the Heavenly Girl was mostly an individual," the Blood Demon Divine Monarch replied.

Gu An nodded slightly.

He didn’t say much more.

*If this were the case, it would be discussed when the time came.*

*For now, there was no need to focus solely on the Heavenly Maiden Lineage.*

*Benefiting most importantly from potential gains.*

*If not, elevating one’s own strength would still be paramount.*

*The stronger he was, the safer he would be.*

After hesitating for a moment, Gu An decided to head to the Outer Peak to extract Magic.

He still needed to enhance the Qi Sea Sky Gang.

He needed the Xuanhuang Qi for suppression, even a minor enhancement in the Qi Sea Sky Gang would increase Xuanhuang Qi.

*So, anything else could wait; the Magic should first enhance the Qi Sea Sky Gang.*

*Not only to increase its power but also to enhance survival capability.*

Back at the Outer Peak, Gu An informed the people of the First Institute that he had returned, but they shouldn’t disturb him for a couple of days.

At night, Gu An extracted Magic and began enhancing the Qi Sea Sky Gang.

*Enhancing the Qi Sea Sky Gang has never needed skill.*

*It was just a long accumulation.*

*Ten years, fifty years, a hundred years.*

*Without end, tirelessly accumulating.*

*One hundred twenty years, one hundred eighty years, two hundred twenty-three years, two hundred fifty years.*

At this moment, Gu An began to feel a sense of fullness in the Qi Sea.

When reaching two hundred sixty years.

Gu An opened his eyes.

The Qi Sea had been filled with Gang Qi.

Afterward, he took out a massive stone and struck it with a palm.

The massive stone absorbed the force,

but some cracks also appeared on it.

The Gang Qi tempered the meridians, and some glaciers also evaporated, floating like white clouds in the air.

Xuanxuan Yellow Qi had also become dense, coursing through his body.

It blocked others’ probing and nurtured the extraordinary meridians.

Qi Sea Sky Gang, Fifth Volume, Second Layer.

Feeling the less-than-significant increase in power, Gu An sighed.

*It seemed he needed to keep improving.*

*Relying on the Moon Tree would still take half a year.*

While he was pondering, Pang Wen and the others arrived.

They brought some news.

The main thing was that the First Institute’s ranking had been hovering around third or fourth.

Additionally, there was progress with Yue Han and the others.

"Any gains?" Gu An asked, slightly surprised.

"Yes, at first there weren’t any, but after they took Chen Changfeng out, there was progress, and Chen Changfeng brought back some things," Pang Wen said, handing them to Gu An.

It was a wooden gear and a letter.

"Have you read the contents?" Gu An asked.

"No," Pang Wen replied.

Gu An nodded, then asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Immortal Yue Han said she needs to meet you in person to share what she knows," Pang Wen replied.

Gu An nodded, "Let them come."

"Moreover, someone wants to ransom Chen Changfeng, a woman, requesting to meet him; I refused. She offered forty thousand," Pang Wen said.

"Do you know who she is?" Gu An asked.

"I checked; it seems to be those same people. And..." Pang Wen hesitated and finally said, "They’re spreading rumors outside, accusing the leader of being despicable and shameless, not planning to release him, accusing you of breach of trust, saying the price was agreed upon yet reneged to charge more.

Accusing of Demon Path acts, even cursing at the Immortal Sect cultivators.

They’re using words to incite anger.

Because of this, they’ve even incited some people to target the Six Courtyard, hoping to abolish it.

There’s such a sentiment in other sects, even within our own sect.

It’s mainly caused by Chen Tai.

All intended to pressure the senior brother to release him."
