Chapter 721 - 438: If I’m Not Invincible, Then Who Is?
Gu An never expected that he would become the Nine Heavens Divine Monarch.
Thus, he seized the superior’s position.
However, he was slightly curious about what the superior intended to do after becoming the Nine Heavens Divine Monarch.
He immediately opened his mouth to inquire.
Chu Meng placed her hands behind her back, kicking her immortal dress, and said:
"After becoming the Nine Heavens Divine Monarch, what else is there to do?
Of course, to reign supreme, with decrees covering the nine heavens.
If I am not invincible, who is?
You?"
"Of course, the invincible one is the superior." Gu An immediately responded.
"It’s all your fault, now I cannot become the Nine Heavens Divine Monarch, nor can I be invincible; only you can be invincible in my stead." Chu Meng turned her head to look at Gu An and casually said.
It seemed that whether or not she could be invincible was not of great importance to her.
"Must one become the Nine Heavens Divine Monarch to cultivate the Nine Chapters of Decrees?" Gu An asked.
"Of course not." Chu Meng shook her head.
"Then what does being invincible have to do with the Nine Heavens Divine Monarch?" Gu An was perplexed.
"The Nine Heavens Divine Monarch sounds impressive. Can you associate the name ’Chu Meng’ with invincibility?" Chu Meng retorted.
Gu An: "..."
For a moment, he didn’t know how to respond.
Unable to understand, he could only agree.
After all, this was his superior.
"Do we head directly to our destination now, or take a rest before we go?" Gu An asked.
Chu Meng extended her hand and said, "Where are my peanuts?"
Gu An understood; he would first go to buy peanuts.
Eventually, Gu An found a reasonably sized Magic Treasure Store.
He sold the Elixir Pills and Magic Treasures he had picked up, earning 280,000.
Each person received 140,000.
Thus, Gu An still had 740,000.
Truly wealthy.
Afterward, Gu An asked them to help search for information about peanuts.
The other party was a bit bewildered.
Peanuts? The kind ordinary people eat?
Upon confirmation,
their expressions turned grim.
They neither sold nor bought peanuts here.
Nor was it possible for them to help inquire about related information.
This wasn’t some small workshop; doing certain things would damage their reputation.
If word got out that they were inquiring about purchasing peanuts everywhere,
wouldn’t that make them a laughingstock?
Ridiculous.
So...
"We will immediately start inquiring for our esteemed senior." The person in charge knelt on the ground with a smiling face.
Just a moment ago, he felt an overwhelming pressure like tidal waves.
It was as if an Endless Mountain was oppressing him.
He involuntarily knelt down.
"Is that really necessary?" Gu An looked at the kneeling middle-aged man, feeling he was exaggerating.
He had only released a bit of pressure.
But he hadn’t made a move.
Nor had he done anything.
If others saw him kneeling, wouldn’t they say he was from the Demon Sect?
Though he truly was, who would want to be seen through while away from home?
"I like interacting with seniors in this way the most, please satisfy my request." The person in charge stated with a serious face.
Gu An turned to look at Chu Meng beside him, seemingly asking if this person was crazy.
Chu Meng replied with a look.
Gu An nodded slightly.
Didn’t understand.
While waiting, Gu An inquired if anything had happened recently in Beihu Snow Continent.
"Quite a lot has happened, but recently there’s talk that the snow in the Snowfield Mountain Range has started to melt, revealing many things." The person in charge pondered and said:
"There’s a rumor about an ancient inheritance being sealed in there, and some people have already gone there.
Additionally, it is said that spiritual energy often manifests, allowing people to break through bottlenecks.
Many from the Purple Mist Sect have gone there.
There are also reports of more discoveries, but these are all rumors from the younger generation.
It seems there are people from the Red Eye Clan, whose residual power alone puts some in difficult battles.
No one escaped.
Where there are opportunities, there is usually danger.
Yet people still flock there continuously."
"Red Eye Clan?" Gu An was slightly surprised.
This was the first time he’d heard such a name.
"I remember an image a friend gave me to investigate, but unfortunately, there has been no progress." He said as he took out a painting.
It depicted a humanoid demon beast, with strikingly crimson eyes.
Seeing the pattern, Gu An was startled in his heart.
It seemed very familiar.
The person in charge, seeing Gu An’s reaction, immediately asked, "Does the senior know what this is?"
Why he would take this thing out unconditionally,
was not due to intimidation by the other’s pressure, but to inquire if the other knew about it.
As long as the other knew, any little bit of information could be sold for a good price.
Such humility and persistence, after all, were considered means as long as Spirit Stones could be earned.
"The Red Eye Clan you mentioned, is it this?" Gu An sought confirmation.
The other party nodded.
With that, Gu An furrowed his brow.
Wasn’t the Nether Sea Clan sealed underwater?
Why were they appearing here?
Or did the sealed place move to this location?
Or does the Sealed Land have two locations?
Gu An wasn’t certain.
But the Nether Sea Clan certainly posed a great threat to others, yet to him, they seemed ordinary.
With the Swallowing Ghost Technique, he could suppress the Nether Sea Clan.
But if a particularly strong one appeared, it might be him getting heavily suppressed.
Originally, Gu An wasn’t in a hurry, but now it seemed he needed to speed up a bit.
At least grasp the general situation.
He and the Nether Sea Clan were destined to stand on opposite sides.
Once discovered, it would lead to endless pursuit.
Since he hadn’t obtained what Chu Meng mentioned yet, he couldn’t rest easy and hide.
Otherwise, he should first lay low until the turmoil over there subsided, then explore further.
"Senior, is this a special race?" The person in charge asked cautiously.
