After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 265 - 222: Are You Still Chopping Bamboo, or Have You Stopped Loving Me? (Part 2)
Chapter 265: Chapter 222: Are You Still Chopping Bamboo, or Have You Stopped Loving Me? (Part 2)
Thus, Gu An opened his eyes underground.
A trace of melancholy flashed in his eyes.
He had experienced the Heart Demon and felt a sliver of fear afterwards.
Now his Primordial Spirit released a powerful force.
He successfully advanced to the Late-stage Primordial Spirit.
But...
The emergence of the Heart Demon made him understand the reason.
He had become overconfident.
Extracting the benefits of Hard Cultivation would enhance one’s cultivation.
But if one’s Mental State is poor, it’s also difficult to successfully advance.
The failure brought about by the Heart Demon could at best make one fall a realm.
Or at worst, make it impossible to advance further.
In such a case, would it not be a waste of an opportunity to advance?
This was a situation Gu An had never encountered before and did not want to.
Therefore, he should still stabilize his mind and not be overly inflated.
At this time, Gu An glanced at his status panel.
[Name: Gu An]
[Cultivation: Late-stage Primordial Spirit]
[Status: Poisoned Qi Sea]
[Magic: 43/50]
[Hard Cultivation: 0/100]
[Ring of Destiny]
Indeed, he was now in the Late Stage.
This speed of advancement was too fast indeed.
No wonder in his dream he became overconfident and the Heart Demon emerged.
He had entered at the Primordial Spirit Early Stage, and now, in less than two months, he had advanced to the Late Stage.
Anyone else would not have been able to withstand such an advancement.
After a brief rest, Gu An began to familiarize himself with his current strength.
One day later.
Gu An arrived in the bamboo forest.
The door was still there, the bamboo forest still brimming with Sword Intent, making it impossible to wander around at will.
Thus, Gu An picked up the axe and continued logging.
However, when he was about to start logging, he felt an enormous pressure.
Several times heavier than before.
This...
After the advancement in cultivation, he couldn’t even lift the axe?
Gu An didn’t understand why, so he could only absorb the Sword Intent and continue chopping.
Half a day later, Gu An hadn’t felled even a single bamboo.
The next morning.
Gu An, gasping for air, put down the axe, and at that moment, a bamboo fell to the ground.
Finally, he had cut down one bamboo.
One bamboo a day.
How long would the advancement take at this rate?
One point per day.
There was almost two months left before departure.
That makes sixty points, which is not too bad.
The Magic value can be increased once, and Hard Cultivation is nearly at fifty.
Still faster than the outside world.
But half a month has passed.
The beginning of July.
Just as he was about to max out the Magic value,
he noticed a change in the door.
The bamboo outside was being sucked in.
Like a tornado, in just a few breaths, all the bamboo was swallowed by the door.
Gu An couldn’t even attempt to stop it.
For a moment, Gu An was at a loss.
Not just him, Wei Wen was also puzzled to see the bamboo vanish.
He had never heard of such a thing before.
And although the crowd stuck outside wanting to enter the bamboo forest didn’t understand what was happening, judging by the signs, it was highly likely that someone had obtained an inheritance.
For a time, the people who couldn’t enter the bamboo forest grew irate.
"Who received the inheritance? They sealed off the bamboo forest before we could even get here."
"Now we don’t even have the chance to feel the Sword Intent."
"It’s the people from Spirit Controlling Peak and Heavenly Suspension Peak who are closest."
"Eight out of ten chances say it’s someone from Heavenly Suspension Peak."
"Not necessarily, this time Spirit Controlling Peak has Li Yue coming, and Luu Ping will definitely suffer a loss against Li Yue," an Immortal stated earnestly.
Hearing this, the others also sympathized with Heavenly Suspension Peak.
"It seems to be Li Yue then, what a pity, it would’ve been better if Heavenly Suspension Peak had it themselves."
Some people sighed.
Though they didn’t want the inheritance stolen, they wanted it even less in the hands of Li Yue.
Some people are just annoying.
Meanwhile, Gu An, holding his axe, was momentarily unsure of what to do.
He just stood there looking at that door.
Unsure of what to do for a moment.
That door was still wide open, as if mocking the person in front of it.
What, you’re not chopping bamboo anymore? Why stop, continue, don’t you? Don’t like logging?
Gu An put away the axe, hesitant about whether to enter through this door.
The change in the door, after all, was meant to make him go in.
So, to enter or not to enter?
If he encountered danger, did he have a way to escape it?
After much contemplation, Gu An felt that the only card he had up his sleeve was the cultivation he had just advanced to.
His other methods of escape were still lacking.
So, he decided to give up.
He’ll wait for Brother Luu Ping and the others to come out, and let them take a look inside.
I have already gained enough fortune for myself; the rest will be given to them.
It’s not right to let them come and go empty-handed.
They have taken good care of me along the way.
And now, within the Sword Immortal Tomb.
Luu Ping and the others have already found the Sword Immortal Skeleton and are comprehending the Sword Immortal inheritance.
Especially Luu Ping, who has obtained a Spirit Sword containing vast Sword Intent, grand as rivers and mountains.
The others have also found their own fortune.
After this, the path of cultivation will be much easier.
Another half a month later.
Gu An has been sitting in front of the grand doors for half a month.
It is now the middle of July.
More than two months have passed since entering the secret realm.
The door is beginning to blur, as if it’s about to close.
After getting used to his current realm, Gu An watched the fading door with a touch of urgency.
"When will Senior Brother Luu Ping come out? If he doesn’t soon, he won’t be able to enter through this door."
From the beginning, he never wanted to go in.
This door took his bamboo; it’s nearly an enemy.
Of course he won’t go in.
Who knows what dangers lie inside.
There’s no need for him to take risks.
At this moment, his body is full of remnants of Sword Intent, unable to be cleansed.
No telling how long he may have to linger here.
A few more days pass.
At the end of July.
The door could no longer hold, and a voice emerged: "Have you never planned to enter?"
Gu An was startled, the voice carried resignation, sorrow.
Yet it wasn’t so old-sounding.
Gu An was puzzled.
At the same time, he became alert.
"Senior, may I ask who you are?" Gu An respectfully saluted.
Though he didn’t know the person’s background, calling them ’senior’ was definitely the right move.
Showing that he knew proper manners.
Even if there was to be a conflict, it would need a different reason.
"So, this door is that disagreeable to you?" The voice inside the door asked.
"Not at all, junior believes that within this door lies a great fortune, related to the sword. Sadly, junior does not practice sword cultivation.
If such a fortune were to fall into junior’s hands, it would surely diminish its value.
Better to leave it to those destined for it," Gu An half-truthfully responded.
Indeed, he didn’t want this fortune; not entering was mainly due to fear of danger.
"Is that so? Then why do you bother with logging? Isn’t that for the sake of fortune?" the voice inside asked.
"Junior only wished to use logging to cultivate oneself, to better control one’s cultivation, and gain a deeper understanding of power.
Starting from the broad and moving towards the intricate," Gu An said earnestly.
It was all nonsensical talk.
If he claimed he didn’t need the fortune, it would easily offend the other party.
"Hehe, then since the bamboo has entered the door, why haven’t you come in to log? Are you perhaps afraid of danger inside?" the other party asked softly.
For a moment, Gu An didn’t know how to respond.
If you already have a hunch, why ask knowingly? Isn’t it better to leave some face for both sides?
Must I admit that I’m scared to go in before you’re satisfied?
Gu An fell silent.
"Come in, there’s no danger here," the voice inside the door sounded, with a slight sigh.
But Gu An remained unmoved.
When has a villain ever admitted they’re a villain?
He had stolen so many things from Nangong Qiyue.
When she questioned him, he also claimed ignorance, denied stealing.
Having done such things himself, how could he trust what existed beyond this door?
Did he look that foolish?
Seeing Gu An motionless, the person inside the door laughed.
"Good, very good!"
Then something was thrown out from inside the door.
Gu An instinctively caught it.
It was a fist-sized Bamboo Rice.
It bore Sword Intent, glittering and translucent.
But before Gu An could take a closer look, he heard an angry shout from inside the door:
"Good, very good indeed.
Scram!
All of you, scram!!
Everybody scram!!!"
The voice carried terrifying authority, stirring up a storm.
Gu An was uncontrollably blown away.
Not only him, but Luu Ping and the other three - who were inside the dwelling - were also directly swept away.
On the other side, the Demon Beast and Wei Wen were similarly swept away.
He had no idea what had happened.
Only during being blown away, he saw Gu An holding the Bamboo Rice, getting swept out in the same direction.
While Luu Ping and the others were taken in other directions.
Though unsure of what occurred, Wei Wen sensed something extraordinary about the Bamboo Rice in Gu An’s hand.
Maybe the change in the bamboo forest was because of this.
As he landed, he gave up on the Demon Beast and quickly moved towards Gu An.
If he couldn’t obtain the inheritance, then let this make up for it.
But the other party having it must mean something special.
He needed to be cautious.
But first, ask how the other party got it.
Cripple him first, to prevent surprises.
