After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In
Chapter 107: The Hunt Begins

Chapter 107: Chapter 107: The Hunt Begins

At this moment, the full moon hung high in the sky, and the stars filled the heavens.

There was still some time before dawn.

Gu An contemplated for a moment and then began to study the second volume of Qi Sea Sky Gang.

Although the Qi Breathing Chapter was also important, so was the Seven Emotions and Six Desires.

But in the Exile Land, he was severely lacking in strength.

He needed to at least complete three refinements to elevate his strength to another level.

Even at Late-stage Foundation Establishment, without fierce offensive techniques, it was easy to encounter dangers.

Just like An Xinru, who was somewhat weak in the Early-stage Foundation Establishment.

People in the Exile Land were not weak like that.

They were simply unable to unleash their full strength.

Those who were weak were definitely newcomers.

And they would not live long.

Having re-assessed the situation, Gu An began to extract the technique.

Another profound dream.

Gu An saw himself sitting in a room, continuously accumulating power.

One year, the accumulation had just begun.

Ten years, the accumulation had undergone some changes.

Twenty years, the accumulation had become substantial.

Yet, it had not reached Perfection.

Gu An felt as if a long time had passed in the dream.

Perhaps thirty years, or maybe fifty years.

Thus, Gu An finally felt a sense of Perfection.

At this moment, the dream ended.

Gu An slowly opened his eyes, feeling the Qi Sea.

The abundant Gang Qi possessed powerful impulsive force.

But it could not last long; it had to be released to temper his meridians.

However, Gu An dared not go out to release it, forced to slowly discharge it within the room.

Fortunately, his control was good, and he managed to temper his meridians successfully, completing the first stage of the second volume.

With just two more elevations, the Qi Sea Sky Gang would manifest traces of moisture, greatly enhancing its power.

He just didn’t know how long the second elevation would take.

Afterward, Gu An resumed his normal logging.

The Exile Land had not changed much; December passed, and a new year arrived.

In January, February, Gu An kept logging.

Progress was somewhat slow; his technique was barely sufficient.

Even Hard Cultivation was a bit lacking.

Once every two months.

This was too far from his goal.

Fortunately, as his cultivation improved, he could endure longer periods.

He was not very worried.

By the end of this month, he elevated his Qi Sea Sky Gang again.

The same lengthy dream; ten, twenty, fifty years, only prolonged accumulation allowed the Qi Sea Sky to reach a new round of Perfection.

The first volume of Qi Refinement was difficult; the second volume of Foundation Establishment nearly seemed impossible.

The required time was too long.

It was simply not achievable with Foundation Establishment.

Tens of years easily passed.

How much lifespan does Foundation Establishment have?

Others maxed out at two hundred years, and he could only add an extra sixty to seventy years.

With the tricolored Elixir Pills, that amounted to three hundred years.

Three hundred years, twenty years to reach Foundation Establishment, that leaves two hundred eighty years.

To elevate the second volume twice would take more than a hundred years.

His lifespan would be exhausted at about three or four levels of Qi Sea Sky Gang.

"I can elevate my cultivation again soon, but it will not be easy after that."

It seems increasingly difficult to improve the status here.

It was much worse than originally anticipated.

Thus, leaving as soon as possible was necessary.

However, he had observed that the nests here were not simple.

Even if he reached Perfect Foundation Establishment, he might not be able to handle the Demon Beast here.

However, advancing to the Golden Core also poses a problem.

That is, there is no Cultivation Technique.

Previously outside, there were ways to deal with it, but now inside here.

Where could one find the Innate Longevity Technique?

But currently still in Late-stage Foundation Establishment, there isn’t really an urgency.

Sighing, Gu An went to the small plaza to listen to Senior Sister Huang’s explanation on cultivation.

In these days, no one paid any attention to him anymore.

Everything had settled into a steady state.

However, today after returning, he suddenly received feedback from the Ring of Destiny.

[This morning, Huang Yunxue met with two other brothers, they talked about you during the meeting, after observing for several months they confirmed you are no threat, then they began lamenting about the hardships over the years, yet there remains no hope of leaving.

Those who enter the Exile Land basically have no chance to leave, those in charge won’t let anyone out, the time limit is basically a joke, those people can easily write it off as another ten years.

The Exile Land fattens those people, why would they let anyone leave from inside?

Unless someone really enters the deep to hunt Demon Beasts, but it’s not the Demon Beasts that are strong, it’s the Nest.

They lamented that the nest is very hard to enter, even grouping together Zones 7, 8, and 9, they still can’t penetrate into the depths.

Then Senior Sister Huang mentioned Zone 7, saying that people there are planning to use a Blood Array to seal the Demon Beast Nest and enter to kill the target Demon Beast.

In recent days, people in Zone 9 have also begun to disappear, a simple response should suffice.]

After reading the feedback, Gu An was somewhat surprised, so it was so difficult to escape.

Indeed, many things happen in the Outer Sect, let alone the Exile Land.

Escaping seemed impossible, harder than reaching the sky.

"Zone 7 will attack Zone 9?"

"What does a simple response mean?"

Gu An pondered, a simple response probably meant turning a blind eye.

And the core Demon Beast doesn’t seem that strong, the main issue is it’s inaccessible.

This means, if the Blood Array starts, he could try to enter.

Or perhaps, he could use the Qi Breathing Chapter to manipulate his Qi and sneak in.

Now that the Qi Breathing Chapter had reached a great success, normally, even a powerful Demon Beast couldn’t detect him.

"The only uncertainty is, I don’t know what cultivation level is needed to contend against it."

But he was not in a hurry, and instead closed his eyes to rest.

The days ahead were probably not going to be easy.

Zone 7 is about to act, a lot of people might die in the Blood Array.

In the early morning, Gu An encountered Gongsun Hai.

Upon seeing him, Gongsun Hai mysteriously said: "Don’t wander around recently, try to stay near the center for logging, and come back once you’re done."

Gu An nodded: "Okay."

"Aren’t you going to ask?" Gongsun Hai was curious.

"Why log near the center?" Gu An asked cooperatively.

"There’s no particular reason," replied Gongsun Hai.

Hearing this, Gu An laughed.

He wasn’t young and looked quite older than Gongsun Hai, but in fact, Gongsun Hai was older than him.

His realm had fallen, living was worse than dying here, he had just advanced to Late-stage Foundation Establishment, but harshly fell to Mid-stage.

However, why he came in, Gu An did not know.

Then when logging, Gu An did not specifically go to the edge to find good trees but stayed in the safe center area to log.

As expected, after seven days, people in Zone 9 began to disappear.

Those three symbolically searched and finally guessed that issues were emerging from the Demon Beast Nest.

Telling everyone to be cautious.

And during these seven days, Gu An had hard cultivated and accumulated up to a hundred.

He began to advance.

In his dreams, he felt he had been cultivating for year after year.

He didn’t know if it was thirty or forty years, only then he had the chance to advance.

But he failed.

Afterward, it took another twenty years to recover and again he got the chance to advance.

And failed again.

He continued to accumulate.

This time everything went smoothly.

When he woke up, he had reached Perfect Foundation Establishment.

Early in the morning, Gu An sat at the plaza, watching the woods.

He felt he had been muddleheaded lately, but unknowingly had become a strong practitioner of Perfect Foundation Establishment.

How long had it been since he was at the Third Level of Qi Refining? One and a half years.
