After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In
Chapter 342 - 260: You’ve Wronged Me

Chapter 342: Chapter 260: You’ve Wronged Me

By the end of March.

The great battle outside the Sect continued.

However, the scope had moved farther away from the Sect, and it was not as intense.

Even so, the Sect began to dispatch Golden Core Disciples to respond.

That is to say, the war had been downgraded.

Or rather, upon discovering the enemy had Golden Core cultivators, the Sect also started to send out its own.

Fortunately, none were sent to the Outer Peak.

Priority was still given to the disciples from the mountains.

Disciples from the foot of the mountain were not valued highly, and it was rare for them to get the chance for such trials.

Only if the mountain’s Golden Cores were insufficient would it be their turn.

Of course, if the people from the foothills really wanted to go, they probably could.

It’s just that without assignments, the rewards were not substantial.

With an assignment from the Sect, one could gain a significant amount of resources.

Going on one’s own, one would likely only get about half.

After all, their original task was supposed to be logging, especially since the Golden Cores from the mountain had been mobilized, there were even fewer people available for logging.

The heavy burden fell on those at the foot of the mountain.

If everyone went to fend off enemies, what about the logistics?

Going out without achieving much would also interfere with their development.

Therefore, even towards the end, the Golden Cores dispatched were only a tiny part of those from the foothills.

Gu An then hosted two more groups of people, and he proactively chose Golden Cores.

Knowing Dugu Jing brought some advantages.

At the very least, it could reduce the risks on his side.

Sure enough, this time there were ten people in two groups.

None of them were the kind to rest easy.

Gu An’s requirements for them were simple: offer up all their Cultivation Techniques and Magic Techniques, as well as insights into cultivation.

Whoever wrote them out first would be the first to leave; duplicates would be voided.

This way, a batch could be released first, relieving the pressure on the First Institute.

How the other institutes were doing, he did not know, but if the First Institute encountered those with other hidden means, it would be quite troublesome.

Being able to detect them early was not a problem, but failing to do so beforehand would be a fatal blow to the First Institute.

Additionally, why has Dongfang Lingyun not yet appeared?

It is worth mentioning that Yu Tu has completed his seclusion.

He has successfully advanced to Foundation Establishment but was stunned upon learning that he had become a Demon Sect Disciple.

It seemed quite hard for him to accept.

Fortunately, Shu Ci was there to teach him right away.

She informed him that since he was previously reluctant to act against his childhood friends’ family, he could now do so.

The Sect wholeheartedly endorsed this.

On top of that, it was understandable why his childhood friend turned out to be so bad.

Because this is the Demon Sect, after all.

Suddenly, Yu Tu saw things clearly.

He never understood why his childhood friend, who grew up with him, suddenly changed so much.

Why people could be so bad.

Now everything made sense.

It turns out he joined the Demon Sect, as did Jinxi.

Only Jinxi changed, and he did not.

From now on, he would have a clear stance facing her.

One of the Demon Path, ashamed to be with the likes of her.

Shu Ci felt something was off after hearing Yu Tu’s words, but she didn’t fuss over it much.

She only asked why his seclusion lasted so long.

Yu Tu couldn’t answer that, just stating that he kept cycling his cultivation as if his body continuously required him to do so.

Once it was over, he ended his seclusion.

Gu An was not surprised upon receiving the news.

Yu Tu had always been extraordinary.

Gifted with unique talents.

Perhaps his body needed such great power to be filled.

Lacking ample resources, he naturally had to keep cycling to absorb Spiritual Energy.

Only by doing so could he consolidate his cultivation.

Gu An’s task for Yu Tu was to provide an escort service; once the escort was finished, he was to go logging.

Others, if always logging, might affect their cultivation, but it would certainly not be the case for Yu Tu.

He needed to log.

Of course, everyone else who was supposed to be logging still had to do it.

It was a tempering of oneself.

By the way, completing the back mountain’s logging mission.

Without completion, there wouldn’t be as many Spirit Stones.

"Team Leader." Pang Wenyu and Shu Ci came looking for him.

Gu An looked over and noticed that Shu Ci had advanced to the Late Stage of Golden Core.

But her outward appearance was still that of the Early Stage of Golden Core.

And Pang Wen was also close.

They were initially stuck here, but now with a Primordial Spirit guiding them by hand, they would naturally progress much faster.

"This is last month’s report, as well as this month’s Magic Techniques and insights," Pang Wen handed out more than a dozen books.

The top book was different—it would be submitted to the Middle Court and then reported to the Law Enforcement Hall.

The Six Courtyard had many things that did not need to be reported, but monthly reports were still a necessity.

Gu An was not in a hurry to review the Magic Techniques.

They were quite ordinary, and there wasn’t much for him to learn.

Even if there were Sword Skills, he was not interested.

With his own Primordial Spirit Perfection cultivation, once Qi Sea Sky Gang reached Great Success, he would enter a higher realm.

These items were of little use to him.

They were not strong enough, nor had they enough good fortune.

To him, all of these things were expendable.

The only useful thing was to help the Second Team and those from the First Institute to improve.

Otherwise, some insights might be helpful, but routine ones would definitely not compare to the Sect’s records.

What needed attention was the report.

Upon opening it, it listed how many people had come.

And how many people had left.

A total of four people had left: the deceased seedling Miao Kaihua, the widow-like Duan Yulin, the Baldie Zheng Gu, and the beautiful Immortal, Qiong Ling’er who came later.

Thus, fourteen remained.

And the compensation they left behind were their Cultivation Techniques and insights, plus some Magic Techniques.

After receiving the items, Gu An told them to continue with their tasks.

To prioritize the advancement of their cultivation.

After submitting the report, Gu An inquired about the tree allocation.

He learned that they had to wait until mid-month.

He did not mind this; after waiting a little longer, he would be able to chop down quickly progressing trees.

Recently, the progress of the trees he felled was too slow.

Advancement in the Magic Technique was much too gradual.

It might take three years for Qi Sea Sky Gang to reach Great Success.

Afterward, Gu An went back to logging.

Lately, no one from the Outer Peak had troubled him, which was a good thing.
