After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In
Chapter 455 - 313: Kill Them All, Then There’ll Be Peace, Right?

Chapter 455: Chapter 313: Kill Them All, Then There’ll Be Peace, Right?

It’s been six days since taking the Heavenly Yuan Pill.

Tomorrow, which is the first of December, should mark the complete fusion.

Gu An is somewhat expectant, waiting for the time to come.

Looking forward to seeing what Divine Skills he will acquire.

He had checked this Elixir Pill in the Scripture Pavilion.

He found it exceedingly rare.

Not something one can buy with Spirit Stones alone.

Hua Jiyang actually gave it to him just like that.

In return, he only gave her two hundred thousand Spirit Stones; it must be said, Hua Jiyang has been unspeakably good to him.

It’s clear there’s a problem.

Of course, the problem has existed from the start.

So, he didn’t ponder too much about it and decided to leave it for later.

Hua Jiyang has a purpose, but for now, it seems she means no harm to him.

However, before the Divine Skills emerge, he still has matters to handle.

He has become a spy, an overt spy.

Such crude rumors, Gu An feels, should not be believed by anyone.

He thought it wouldn’t bring any trouble his way.

Little did he expect someone would soon seek him out.

It was an Immortal.

At the Perfect Foundation Establishment stage, she looked quite young, but Gu An could tell, she was at least a hundred and fifty years old.

After all, her body was no longer in its prime.

Without opportunity, she likely could never advance to the Golden Core stage.

Upon seeing Gu An, she produced a gear artifact.

It had been refined already.

It had become her Magic Treasure.

Which means, she was indeed recruited into the Zhuanlun lineage.

Considering this, Gu An curiously asked: "How did you ascertain that I am a real spy?"

Why would anyone believe such a crude rumor?

"It’s because it’s too fake," the woman replied reverently with her head lowered,

"If it were a ploy to draw us out, it would have been a meticulous calculation, but your identity was overtly exposed, even as a contact person.

No matter how you look at it, it’s preposterous.

So preposterous that it might just be true."

Gu An fell silent, so a meticulous calculation is false, but something utterly ridiculous happens to be true?

For a moment, Gu An doesn’t know what to say.

He feels possibly she is mistaken, perhaps the people of the Law Enforcement Hall couldn’t be bothered to orchestrate a more elaborate plan.

After all, the one they’re ultimately aiming for isn’t a member of the Zhuanlun lineage.

But that traitor.

Sighing, he said: "Then why don’t you wait a little longer? Or let someone else try."

The woman shook her head: "Others can try, but I’m running out of time. My lifespan is not long.

If I don’t find a way to advance soon, I fear there will be no future.

I am willing to offer a strand of Essence Blood, hoping Lord can impart upon me the Reincarnation Technique."

"Don’t you have it?" Gu An casually asked.

He wasn’t worried about giving himself away.

If his cover is blown, then so be it; whether she believes him or not is up to her.

It’s best if he’s found out to be a fraud, as then he wouldn’t be in too much danger.

No one seeking him out would mean nothing had happened.

However, the woman did not find anything amiss and said: "I hesitated initially, but now that they have all been captured, I dare not hesitate any longer."

As she spoke, she condensed a strand of Essence Blood from the gear artifact and looked up with respect, saying:

"I hope Lord can impart upon me the Reincarnation Technique."

Gu An remotely took that strand of Essence Blood and noticed it was a part of the woman’s gear artifact.

She had offered up her Qi-Blood lifespan, and he could receive a share of it.

This was akin to him being able to nurture the gear artifact freely, acquiring the power for a breakthrough.

Developing the next-in-line?

Gu An was slightly shocked.

So this is how the Zhuanlun lineage operates.

It seems that ordinary people do not possess the Reincarnation Technique.

And he just happens to have it.

However, he couldn’t directly hand over the scripture to her, but he could share the initial methodology of Cultivation.

Before doing so, he still needed to ask some questions.

"Do you understand the function of the gear artifact?" Gu An asked.

"I do," she nodded emphatically.

"Then you must realize that if you ever desire to rid yourself of this thing, it may cause you severe damage, and there’s even a chance you may never be rid of it.

The lifespan you expend during advancement may just be borrowing power.

To speak kindly, the gear is a Magic Treasure; to speak harshly, it’s an Evil Object that preys on your life," Gu An stated truthfully.

The woman stood still and, in the end, nodded: "I understand."

"No regrets?" Gu An inquired.

The woman shook her head slightly: "I have no future to speak of."

Gu An fell silent.

Indeed, by taking a risk she at least had a chance of entering the Golden Core stage.

Success meant gaining a few hundred years of lifespan.

If she refrains from further expenditure, then she’s the absolute winner, as long as she can prevent mental disturbances.

But how many could do that?

Members of the Zhuanlun lineage advance in their cultivation rapidly but are fleeting.

In the end, they all become nourishment for the gear artifact.

Gu An then informed her that her spirit might change and it would be difficult to maintain inner peace.

While she can cultivate normally now, it won’t be the case afterward.

The change in spirit brought by the technique would hinder focused cultivation.

And for those accustomed to rapid progress, how could they revert to cultivating peacefully step by step?

Such progress is too slow.

Thus, once a person starts practicing, there’s a ninety percent chance they are ruined.

They can never go back.

After reaching the Golden Core, one would aim for the Primordial Spirit; after reaching the Primordial Spirit, one would desire Returning to Void.

Gu An informed her of all conceivable situations.

Yet, she still nodded.

In that case, Gu An found no reason to refuse.

He gathered his Divine Thought in his hand.

Inside was the first part of the Reincarnation Technique.

Then, across the space, he touched her forehead.

Very quickly, she grasped the concept, expressing her joy and gratitude with a bow: "Thank you, my Lord."

Gu An waved his hand, signaling her not to publicize it, and finally, let her leave.

Her future was now her responsibility.

From beginning to end, Gu An never asked for her name.

He did not wish to entangle himself too deeply with her.

Then he continued studying the Reincarnation Technique.
