After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In
Chapter 104: Beginning the Advancement

Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Beginning the Advancement

"Qi Sea Sky Gang can resist the burning of Spiritual Energy?"

In the living room, Gongsun Hai looked surprised.

"Yes, he indeed has the potential to be a good seedling, but it’s a pity he ended up here.

He can hardly make any progress now.

As for the second volume, it would be difficult for him to master it even in a hundred years." Senior Sister Huang shook her head and sighed:

"There’s no need to pay too much attention to him anymore. Also, let’s spread the word about what he’s asking for.

See if anyone goes to test him."

Gongsun Hai nodded.

That very day, Senior Sister Qing and others received the news.

By that evening, their people scarcely paid any attention to Gu An’s whereabouts anymore.

Gu An noticed this too, but he was unsure of the situation.

For the time being, it seemed like a good thing.

If he wanted to completely escape notice, the only way might still be to let Spiritual Energy burn.

He just wasn’t sure what sort of situation would arise from Spiritual Energy burning, such as whether it would attract prying eyes.

There were always people who had their sights set on his Storage Treasure.

But for now, it wasn’t too much of an issue; he would focus on logging first.

If he couldn’t successfully obtain the value, then everything would become extremely difficult.

No amount of effort would be enough to hold out.

That night, Gu An spent a long time looking at Qi Sea Sky Gang.

Just like the first volume.

Qi Sea Sky Gang consists of nine layers.

However, unlike the first volume, one does not need to reach the ninth layer to have power.

Even reaching three layers would yield some damage.

Not as overwhelming as the first volume, but still exceptional at the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment level.

And reaching the sixth layer would render one almost invincible within the same realm.

Once reaching the ninth layer, the Gang Qi would turn from mist to water.

The strength would increase exponentially.

Throughout the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, there likely isn’t a single Magic that could compare.

So as long as he completes the nine refinements here, then below Golden Core, he should have no adversaries.

The question was whether his body and the Parasol Trees here could withstand it.

The next day.

Gu An woke up early.

Gongsun Hai was waiting for him at the door, taking him to complete the task of logging.

Since he had become one of them, idleness wouldn’t do.

Moreover, the Sect also had a basic assessment—no work meant no resources.

Of course, the assessment here was much looser than outside, with almost everyone having access to basic resources.

After all, being too strict could easily result in death.

And the Exile Land didn’t have that many people.

They could not recruit Disciples like the Outer Sect.

Nor was there a need to be so strict.

However, occasionally the Manager might be in a bad mood and cut the resources in half.

"Anyway, life here is tough," said Gongsun Hai.

At that moment, they followed the crowd inside.

Gu An observed that there should be several hundred people.

Their group had the fewest people.

Less than a hundred.

Senior Brother Dongfang’s group had more than two hundred.

The discrepancy was indeed significant.

However, he did not see Senior Sister Huang and her people.

"The Senior Sisters won’t show up," Gongsun Hai pointed out.

Gu An understood, they no longer needed to do logging.

Logging included some damage, and they naturally didn’t want to do it themselves.

After all, there were others to complete their tasks.

Looking around, Gu An noticed that most people here were strong and muscular.

Even the women were not frail.

None had the quiet and elegant demeanor seen on the outside.

These were traits forged by the Exile Land.

In their eyes, there was not much shine.

Everyone carried an axe, mechanically walking inside.

At the fork in the path, they would consciously head towards their own direction.

Gu An kept moving forward, taking the second path.

The first path had the most people, and currently, the fourth path was empty.

Afterward, Gu An withdrew his gaze and entered the forest.

Here, felled trees could be seen everywhere.

Several people then gathered around a tree to log.

"The wood here doesn’t have obvious backlash, but this is the Exile Land, and the trees naturally absorb the Spiritual Energy of this place," Gongsun Hai reminded:

"So logging is liable to ignite Spiritual Energy.

You need to be careful.

Moreover..."

Gongsun Hai looked around and said:

"Do you want to go plant Parasol Trees first? Maybe it could buy you a few more days."

Hearing this, Gu An looked at the person beside him with some surprise: "How do you know my Spiritual Energy didn’t ignite?"

"You’ve taken the Qi Sea Sky Gang, Senior Sister Huang naturally guessed it," Gongsun Hai earnestly said:

"In fact, the longer you persevere, the more likely you are to be noticed; if your cultivation were higher, you would have already been taken seriously."

Gu An breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, there was no longer a need to worry about others suspecting him of possessing treasures.

At least there would be no misunderstanding of harboring a guilty conscience.

Gongsun Hai sighed: "You’re not young anymore, but you started working right away, not giving Senior Sister Qing any face. To be honest, I admire you.

But people like you often don’t end well.

Perhaps if you persist, you might have a good ending."

"If you know I won’t end well, why help me?" Gu An looked at him and asked.

At the words, Gongsun Hai laughed and said: "Technically, I should hate you, as you’ve beaten me terribly, but I feel you’re different from the others who came in.

I’ve nearly lost all hope, yet you seem to still have ambition and hope.

What if you really end up with a different result, wouldn’t I also benefit from it?

Even without benefits, it’s not worth offending you and running into trouble.

Of course, the main reason is admiration for you; you began working immediately. I’ve imagined countless similar scenarios but never had the courage."

Gu An lowered his eyes; his courage, ultimately, stemmed from confidence.

Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation.

Moreover, he could log here.

So, he’s perhaps gotten a bit arrogant.

Gu An felt he needed to constantly remind himself of his actions.

Not to stir up major trouble.

Declining the kindness of Gongsun Hai, Gu An chose a tree with many years on it.

And began logging.

To see if the Parasol Wood here was stronger or weaker compared to the Green Sun Wood of the Outer Sect.

Because he didn’t know what kind of backlash logging would bring, Gu An steadied his mind and chopped lightly.

Yet still, a muffled sound came forth.

Subsequently, he felt a surge of Spiritual Energy from the axe, promptly igniting his own Spiritual Energy.

Fortunately, he was prepared, otherwise, it would disrupt his bodily balance and cause a direct ignition.

Seeing this, Gu An breathed a sigh of relief.

And then he continued logging.

He dared not hurry; he could only proceed bit by bit.

First to get accustomed, then to quicken the pace.

After one day, he still wasn’t used to it, but there were gains to be had.

Hard Cultivation increased a little, Magic also increased a little.

After getting used to it, perhaps they could increase by two points.

In this way, the increase in cultivation wouldn’t be fast, and nor would Magic by much.

But there’s hope.

Two months would be enough if cultivation could be increased just once.

Step by step.

Over the next seven days, Gu An continually logged, and now it was mid-month, with two weeks until the month’s end.

To better survive.

He planned to feign Spiritual Energy ignition in a week.

To see the reactions of the people.

A week later.

Gu An barely started to adapt.

These past few days have been almost one value point per day.

Occasionally, Hard Cultivation might earn two points.

This was progress, too.

Today he deliberately restrained the Qi Breathing Chapter, Seven Emotions and Six Desires, and Qi Sea Sky Gang.

Even the Innate Longevity Technique had been halted.

Thus, he felt a hint of pain, and it seemed like his Spiritual Energy was about to ignite.

The severe pain made him involuntarily make a noise.

Indeed, when people outside heard it.

Someone rushed in.
