Chapter 735 - 445: Time to Prepare for the Wedding Upon Return
Listening to Chu Meng, Gu An sighed with emotion, "Is such a Heavenly Court really not powerful?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Meng was slightly surprised and said, "Who said they’re not powerful?"
Gu An was even more surprised as he looked at the person in front of him and said, "Didn’t you say that to the monk?"
"I lied to him," Chu Meng said while eating peanuts:
"Don’t you find it annoying how proud he sounded?"
Gu An sighed, "Senior, you’re not generous."
Just a trickster.
Truly fitting to be the Nine Heavens Divine Monarch.
Mysterious and powerful, yet a trickster.
Not the silent type.
"With the Buddhist sect backed by the Sea-born Heavenly Court, does this mean the Sea-born Heavenly Court is about to reappear? Although I don’t understand why, there’s definitely a sign." Gu An mused while speaking.
Chu Meng shook his head, "Hard to say, when the Sea-born Heavenly Court disappeared, there weren’t many signs.
Although the chaos caused many of their deaths, they eventually withdrew unscathed.
Looking at it now, it doesn’t seem like the time for their return, and as for their connection with the Buddhist sect, it’s not something unusual.
Even if they hide, they still have the means to communicate with the world."
"But the Buddhist sect has been extremely active recently, and they want to join the Daoist Orthodox Sect. If the Sea-born Heavenly Court is behind them, why would they cause such a stir for no reason?" Gu An curiously asked.
Chu Meng munched on peanuts, pondered for a moment and said, "Hard to say, but what does that have to do with me?
I’m not the Nine Heavens Divine Monarch, they can’t find any trouble with me.
You deal with it yourself."
Upon hearing this, Gu An became a bit worried and immediately said, "Senior, but you’re my superior."
"Don’t." Chu Meng immediately stopped Gu An and said, "You’re my superior, okay? Being a superior is too tiring.
Which normal cultivator deals daily with the Eye of Heavenly Punishment or the Ruoshui Forbidden Book?
Next time, you help me."
"Junior’s capabilities are limited." Gu An immediately said.
"Limited capabilities?" Chu Meng replied seriously, "Do you want a Daoist couple or not? If you don’t rescue me, how will you marry a Daoist couple with unparalleled beauty?"
Gu An fell silent.
Didn’t know how to respond.
Eventually, Gu An shifted the topic back to the Nether Sea Clan: "Why is the Sea-born Heavenly Court looking for the Nether Sea Clan?"
"Ask a powerful Buddhist figure," Chu Meng said.
Gu An: "..."
You’re making it sound so easy.
With that ability, why deal with the Buddhist sect?
Would’ve happily enjoyed life instead.
Why suffer like now, searching for Magic Treasures to hide from oneself?
"Can’t fight back?" Chu Meng asked.
Gu An nodded, "If you make a move, Senior, it would be a different story."
"Being at the Golden Core Early Stage, I definitely can’t, but if you get another Star Spirit Pearl like before, you might be able to pose a threat.
If it doesn’t work, just throw it down and send them to Western Heaven.
After all, with your strong desire to kill, wiping out a powerful force is just a matter of time." Chu Meng said casually.
Gu An was stunned in place.
Thinking that those words truly aren’t humanly possible.
Wiping out a powerful force.
How could he possibly do such a thing?
Secondly, even if he were truly such a person, he couldn’t replicate such a Star Spirit Pearl.
Obtaining one with the Heavenly Punishment Fire was an accident.
Impossible to replicate.
Once used, it’s gone, unlikely to happen again.
No matter how good, it’s only one-time use.
Moreover, its destructive power is too terrifying.
If it weren’t for Chu Meng having a Magic Treasure to save him.
He might’ve also died this time.
It really would be mutual destruction.
No wonder those Divine Monarchs fear the Star Spirit Pearl.
Eager to return it immediately.
"Is it December now?" Chu Meng suddenly asked.
Gu An nodded, "It indeed is December, is there a mission?"
Chu Meng shook his head, "Not really, just wanted to say it’s almost the New Year.
Next December, we’ll be married.
Are you excited?"
Gu An: "..."
You saying that makes me a bit uncomfortable.
It’s December now, it’ll take a few months to get back, if delayed midway, could take up to half a year, and it’ll be June next year when back at Cangmu Sect.
By then, preparations to welcome the Commandery Princess will begin.
The stand-in Chu Meng will become the Commandery Princess then.
Just thinking about being supervised by my superior at all times gives Gu An a headache.
Being alone would be better.
What a pity.....
I can’t resist now.
Later will be too late.
"We cultivators devote ourselves to the Dao." Gu An replied after.
Paused for a moment, then said, "Senior, do you have any tasks to assign?"
He still needed the Token to enter Luo Sheng Hall.
"Want to take on a mission?" Chu Meng asked.
"For Senior’s advancement, a little hardship for junior is nothing," Gu An said seriously.
"Not right now," Chu Meng said indifferently.
Gu An was silent for a moment, did this sentence mean there will be tasks once back?
After pondering for a while, Gu An felt the need to return quickly.
But it was a pity this time, having killed so many of the Nether Sea Clan.
Yet not having picked up a single Storage Treasure.
"By the way." Gu An suddenly thought of something and said, "Did asking me to forge an axe mean there are trees here to chop?"
"There definitely are." Chu Meng patted his hands clean of peanuts and said, "But you burned them all with one fire."
Gu An: "..."
Such a loss.
If I’d known, I wouldn’t have asked.
As long as I don’t ask, I won’t lose anything.
Subsequently, Gu An and Chu Meng stepped toward the edge of the snow plains, where the snow plains were now devoid of mountains, giving a sense of boundless emptiness.
The two walked on the snow against the scorching sun.
"It’s quite sunny today," Chu Meng remarked.
Gu An looked up at the sky, nodding, "Indeed, it’s probably because of the Star Spirit Pearl."
Chu Meng turned to look at Gu An, sighing, "You don’t understand your superior at all; it seems you have no intention to progress."
