After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 138: Will Gu An Survive Past Next Year?

From what can be seen from Junior Sister Bai Qing and Ren Yinghua’s Ring of Destiny, the harsh measures will come down in about a year.

And if I want to turn the tables, I must expose the issue before the harsh measures take place.

Then, it will catch the attention of other forces.

As long as I can protect myself, I can start to stir the waters.

However, all these are based on the premise that my strength is sufficient.

Although Chu Meng felt that Perfect Foundation Establishment was almost enough.

But...

Casually meeting anyone, they have all surpassed Foundation Establishment.

Perfect Foundation Establishment is far from enough.

Take Ren Yinghua for example, he is definitely a Golden Core.

If I am not even his match, how can I continue this matter with tough approaches?

After successfully advancing, Gu An took the chance to catch up on some sleep before dawn.

The next day.

Gu An continued his tasks.

Logging in the afternoon.

Senior Sister Bai Qing had paid spirit stones to hire someone, and it seemed like she got good feedback, stabilizing her mood recently.

At night.

Gu An went to the Thunder Logging Yard.

As he arrived, someone was secretly watching him.

It was Lu Jie.

Why did he come?

Gu An didn’t pay much attention to it and just went over to get an axe and entered the logging yard, looking for Thunder Wood.

At this moment, Lu Jie, who was observing secretly, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Gu An successfully enter.

He had said tomorrow, and Lu Jie thought he was not coming.

Of course, Lu Jie’s main purpose this time was to make sure the other party entered smoothly.

If there was any trouble, he would step in.

As there are no issues currently, all is well.

But he still went over to greet him, just in case the young man got bullied here, that would be regrettable.

As he approached, the young man looked over.

"Senior Brother Lu?" the young man was somewhat surprised: "Senior Brother, what brings you here?"

"Just checking on you, are you getting used to this place?" Lu Jie asked with a smile.

"I am used to it, it’s quite peaceful," replied the young man.

"That’s good." Lu Jie nodded, then asked:

"Who just went in?"

"A Junior Brother who just arrived a few days ago, came by himself," the young man replied.

Hearing that, Lu Jie was startled.

A bit astonished.

"He came by himself a few days ago? That’s quite impressive," Lu Jie said with a smile.

"Yes, they said someone informed him he could try his luck here.

I think his age is also suitable," the young man nodded.

Hearing this, Lu Jie’s smile became somewhat strained.

He then asked about the specific time.

Lu Jie understood he was asking about the very day the other party had found connections.

Even so, when he had sought him out before, the young man hadn’t mentioned anything.

He had even accepted his goodwill.

For a moment, he felt grateful.

If at that time the other party had straight-up told him he had already found connections.

Then he would have returned home like a fool, in disgrace.

Junior Brother Gu was a capable person.

Lu Jie thought secretly.

After some more casual talk, Lu Jie entered the logging forest briefly for a stroll, then left.

He was actually just the mediator, not a person from the night logging yard.

Otherwise, he could have brought Gu An in on that day.

However, he needed to arrange a thank you gift.

Gu An was unaware of this.

He was only concerned with logging.

Also, after today, his period of Hard Cultivation would be complete.

But he wasn’t planning on using it, maybe in another half a month.

By then, the Innate Strength of his third organ would emerge.

Then, using Hard Cultivation, the Fourth Strength would emerge.

By that time, the Body Refining Technique would also be at Perfect Foundation Establishment.

Double Perfection.

Unmatched under Golden Core.

However, during his logging, the previously burly man kept chatting with him.

Feeling that they were in similar circumstances, finding common topics.

In the following days, he lived such plain and unadorned life.

As time went by, his Spirit Stones increasingly accumulated.

He used the broken spiritual stones to exchange for regular Spirit Stones.

Those chosen for the task were often older, or appeared to have faced considerable hardships.

He exchanged eleven broken spiritual stones for one regular Spirit Stone.

Many people excitedly showed their gratitude.

Looking at them, he felt that these people’s lives were much harder than his own.

They were struggling to survive with a few Spirit Stones.

On the last day of July.

Gu An received a notification from the main vault to start receiving resources for August.

Only after confirming the quantities did he complete the acceptance.

A densely packed collection of Elixir Pills and Spirit Stones.

If he fled with these Spirit Stones, he would instantly become rich.

But that would undoubtedly lead to certain death.

There are things one might be tempted to steal, but resources must not be touched.

August 1st.

The day resources were distributed.

This time it was only Gu An alone, and this time, all Qi Refining Disciples, and Early-stage and Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Disciples of Qianchen Peak would come to know him.

Early in the morning, Bai Qing arrived.

She couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw Gu An: "Senior Brother Gu?"

"It’s me." Gu An nodded.

"You belong to the Spiritual Treasure Vault?" Bai Qing didn’t know how to express her feelings for a moment.

"Let’s distribute the resources first," said Gu An.

Distribution of resources began.

Then followed a long queue.

Soon, Gu An saw another person.

The burly man from the night logging yard who always came to chat with him.

He thought of Gu An as a kindred spirit.

They talked about everything.

But when he came over, Gu An noticed the man froze upon seeing him.

He was suddenly embarrassed.

He thought they were all low-level workers struggling through hardships.

Who would have thought that he was working in the Spiritual Treasure Vault?

A place not just anyone could enter.

Then came Meng Fa and others; they were stunned when they saw Gu An.

Although they didn’t have to perform any tasks for the moment, they all knew that the Spiritual Treasure Vault was not a place one could simply enter.

Those from the Outer Sect could only enter if they were deemed worthy.

When they left, the five of them still hadn’t regained their senses.

Gu An felt that this position could bring immense vanity to anyone.

Even he wasn’t able to avoid it.

Thus, the only solution was to remind himself that in a year, a severe penalty would come.

Coveting this would lead to utter destruction.

On the other side.

Meng Fa and others arrived at a small square.

Everyone sat there, neither cultivating nor speaking.

After a long while, Song Xiu finally spoke, "Why? Why can that person sit there?"

"Yes, I heard just sitting in the Spiritual Treasure Vault gets you Spirit Stones delivered by others, at least several dozen a month, while we barely manage to gather ten after a hard month’s work," another Immortal spoke sourly.

Meng Fa remained silent.

Though surprised, it wasn’t important anymore.

After all, the other’s strength could completely overpower him.

In every aspect, he was no match.

The last incident, they didn’t even dare to inform Senior Brother Ye.

Once he knew the other’s strength, it would be clear who should stay to cultivate and who should log.

They talked for a long time.

Finally, Senior Brother Ye came up behind them, slightly confused: "Junior Brothers and Sisters, what are you discussing?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately stood up.

Everyone was silent.

Senior Brother Ye asked again.

Song Xiu then said, "We were discussing Gu An."

"Him? What about him?" Senior Brother Ye was curious.

Then a few of them shared what they saw today.

Hearing this, Senior Brother Ye seemed puzzled: "The Spiritual Treasure Vault, huh? That’s too bad." freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"Why?" asked Song Xiu.

"His good days won’t last long; don’t worry about that.

That’s good, by next year we should probably have one fewer person here," Senior Brother Ye said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, everyone was somewhat taken aback.

Even if they didn’t understand, they realized something—Gu An was doomed next year.

Great news indeed.
