After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In
Chapter 360 - 268: Refusing a Superior’s Assignment

Chapter 360: Chapter 268: Refusing a Superior’s Assignment

Early May, many events transpired.

Gu An thought it was just another ordinary day; submit reports and then continue waiting for the captives to arrive.

Furthermore, he was also expecting difficulties from those at Heavenly Suspension Peak.

Especially since, at the end of last month, a senior sister found him, gifted him something, and mentioned that someone from Heavenly Suspension Peak might be persistent.

Gu An knew that this senior sister was an associate of Senior Brother Shi.

However, so far, they hadn’t done anything.

Although confused, he didn’t give it much thought.

He accepted the gift.

And he courteously saw them off.

He thought they would have some demands, but it turned out to be just a gift-giving gesture.

They left a remark saying that if there were any past offenses, it must have been a monumentally misunderstood situation akin to ’a flood washing the Dragon King Temple’.

Gu An was initially cautious, but seeing no follow-up, he didn’t dwell on it.

During such peaceful days, Gu An received some news.

The Law Enforcement Hall had arrived, heading from the Second to the Sixth Courtyard.

Wherever they went, numerous people were taken away.

This caused concern among the people of each courtyard.

Moreover, Dugu Jing arrived, seeking Gu An.

He informed about the current situation.

He said, seizing power in various courtyards is treated as betraying the sect. Although it seems complicated, it’s actually quite straightforward.

Dugu Jing did not explain further.

But Gu An understood, this was an order issued by the likes of the Peak Master, and it was a consensus.

Thus, in the Sixth Courtyard, people might participate, but seizing power wasn’t allowed.

Countermanding the Master would mean a death penalty.

Meanwhile, Gu An saw some people being taken away; some were shouting injustices, others praised their contributions, claiming that the Fourth Courtyard wouldn’t exist without them.

But regardless, they were all taken.

Their fate wouldn’t be good.

Not only that, people from other peaks were also arrested.

There were no exceptions.

This somewhat shocked Gu An.

It also made him very worried.

Afraid that one day, he too might be arrested.

These people all had exceptionally high cultivation; were they just taken away without considering the losses?

Is the Cangmu Sect so adamant?

Currently, they were still competing with other Sects.

Wouldn’t this increase the pressure on Cangmu Sect?

Until everyone was taken away, Gu An couldn’t figure out why.

It happened that those previously causing trouble intending to take over the First Institute came to him.

They brought him a thousand Spirit Stones, thanking him for saving their lives.

If they had succeeded in seizing power last month, they would now be prisoners under the Law Enforcement Hall.

Gu An hadn’t expected such an unforeseen gain.

However, this move by the Law Enforcement Hall made everyone understand, people could be sent from various courtyards, but they must obey the commands of the Master of their respective courtyards.

Seizing power?

It would surely bring disaster.

What happened in other institutes, Gu An did not know, but there was no change in the First Institute; those who should be released were released, those who had to preach the laws did so.

Whether they cooperated or not, the First Institute wouldn’t bother with them.

It wasn’t time to force them.

Of course, those people could only eat ordinary food, those who cooperated had better meals.

That night, Gu An entered the logging forest and continued to cut wood.

No matter how important other things were, logging was more significant.

Especially tonight, as he was about to complete the accumulation of techniques.

He could try advancing to the Fourth Layer of Qi Sea Sky Gang.

Logging went smoothly. The feedback caused some minor exhaustion.

But since Chu Meng had not visited, it was uncertain whether it was easy to fall into Charming Technique.

But once he fell into it, he could detect it through his status.

It wasn’t very troublesome.

He just needed to frequently check his mental state and then take a glance at his status.

To ensure there were no problems.

It was still dark.

Gu An put down his large axe and looked at his panel.

[Name: Gu An]

[cultivation: Primordial Spirit Perfection]

[status: Poisoned Sea of Gas, Qi Sea Birth Xuanhuang]

[Magic: 50/50]

[Hard Cultivation: 40/100]

[Ring of Destiny]

Magic was full.

After several months, he could finally advance again.

In Cangmu Sect, it’s so hard to find such quality wood; if he left, he wouldn’t know if he could ever encounter so much spirit wood again.

Before dawn, Gu An successfully felled the Moon Tree.

He sighed in relief.

If he hadn’t cut it down before dawn, it might have ruined a tree.

That’s why it’s hard to get approval for this forest.

Normally, it’s designated for Primordial Spirits or Returning to Void.

But those Returning to Void, who practiced logging, were very few unless on missions, otherwise they wouldn’t cut trees.

So some special woods hardly ever get cut.

One can only wait for most disciples to enhance their cultivation comprehensively and let those with ordinary talents among Primordial Spirits or Returning to Voids do the logging.

Gu An felt, if they were Returning to Void, were their talents really ordinary?

Shaking his head, Gu An didn’t think further, these were none of his concerns.

Sect matters were beyond his control.

Having wood to cut was good enough for him.

Thus, he placed the axe on a stone in the second row.

Watching the progress significantly increase on the stone, Gu An returned to his residence.

Opening the Night Barrier, Gu An began his cultivation.

The dream realm opened.

The cultivation of Qi Sea Sky Gang was monotonous, day after day, year after year.

No change from before.

After over a hundred years, he reached the extreme in his dream.

The accumulation of Qi Sea Sky Gang was now full.

Thus, Gu An slowly opened his eyes.

Then he released his Gang Qi in the forest.

Strong enough to make the surrounding forest tremble.

Fortunately, it didn’t cause any noticeable changes.

Otherwise, he would have to deal with the Red Armor Soldiers.

Planting Beans into Soldiers was quite useful; nowadays, the Red Armor Soldiers all had cultivation at the Golden Core Late Stage.
