After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In

Chapter 748: Chapter 451: As Expected, All Heavenly Prides Are Loggers

After that, Gu An stopped overthinking and started chopping down the Autumn Leaf Tree in front of him.

He swung the axe, one stroke at a time.

The Qi of his body was also being consumed bit by bit.

He seemed even older.

Getting ready for marriage has turned out like this, I wonder if the superiors will have any opinions.

Gu An had no hope in withdrawing from the marriage, but was somewhat worried about how to handle it if the superiors were displeased and gave him a hard time.

After all, he was still counting on completing the mission to fully join Luo Sheng Hall.

Four days later.

Gu An stopped logging.

He took the opportunity to glance at the numbers again.

[Magic: 20/50]

[Hard Cultivation: 57/100]

If he continued chopping, he might be able to bloom a flower for sure.

Magic could also be improved once more.

But for Gu An, this wasn’t quite enough.

After resting, Gu An went out the door and saw Leader He waiting for him.

“Senior Brother Gu, are you ready?” Leader He asked politely.

Gu An nodded: “Ready, I wonder where the special Spirit Tree is?”

“Special Spirit Trees usually aren’t here, they’re all located in the back mountain or deeper, each discovered and then attempted to be transplanted,” Leader He explained.

Gu An was somewhat surprised: “The Sect often discovers new Spirit Trees?”

“Yes, otherwise how would the Sect have so many Spirit Trees to chop down? But it’s another group of senior brothers and sisters who explore for Spirit Trees.

After their exploration, they let our people log and research.

If suitable, they’ll attempt to introduce them into the Sect.

If not suitable, it depends on the situation.

Many Spirit Trees have been transplanted and expanded in this way,” Leader He explained in detail.

Gu An had thought those trees had always grown in that place.

Then logged by people.

Turns out they were transplanted here.

“Senior Brother wouldn’t have thought there were that many Spirit Trees here originally, right?” Leader He laughed and said: “Actually, there really were quite a few Spirit Trees here a long time ago, including some very powerful ones.

It’s said they were claimed by several Peak Masters and the Sect Master.

Later, they felt there were too few Spirit Trees, so they began heading towards the mountains to collect and cultivate Spirit Trees.

Rumor has it they clashed many times with various powerful beings and special races in the mountains.

I once heard a senior brother tell a legend.

It is said that during the Sect’s expansion, they encountered the True Dragon Clan, which was supposedly an ancient and long-standing True Dragon.

The entire Sect was forced back, retreating from the mountains.

But the other side came with the intent to annihilate the Sect, and no one in the Sect was a match.

Later, the Sect Master emerged to battle for nine days and nights.

Only then was the threat of annihilation eliminated.

Who knows if it’s true or false.”

Gu An was quite moved. Does the Sect have so many legends?

He had never heard of them in the Inner Sect.

But the news in Luo Sheng Hall is naturally different from below.

As for the rumors…

Most rumors have some exaggeration.

Perhaps the enemy in that battle wasn’t a True Dragon, but a Jiao Long.

Nine days and nights might be true, but how they won is another matter.

Gu An felt he had already grasped the truth.

But no one was there to clarify it for him.

But after all, it’s just a rumor, no need to delve deeply.

“The Spirit Tree we discovered this time is also within the mountains?” Gu An asked curiously.

“Roughly, it should be in a secret realm within the mountains. It’s a very special place where all other trees have withered and died, yet that one thrives.

Currently, people approaching it cannot sense anything.

Nor dare to act rashly.

So there’s a need for someone with sufficient logging experience.

You, Senior Brother, are one of them,” Leader He explained while leading the way.

Gu An nodded, also quite expectant.

Although dangerous, for the sake of logging, some risks are bearable.

Back mountain.

Leader He brought Gu An before an Array.

At the forefront of the Array were three people.

“Senior Brother Miao.” Leader He greeted respectfully and then introduced:

“This is Senior Brother Gu, the skilled woodcutter I mentioned to you.”

Senior Brother Miao looked to be in his early thirties, with a strong, muscular physique, likely related to Body Refinement.

Immortal Bridge First Level cultivation.

Very strong.

“This is Senior Brother Miao, who frequently enters and exits the mountains to find Spirit Trees. This time’s Spirit Tree was discovered by him. He’ll later lead Senior Brother Gu and others inside,” Leader He introduced to Gu An.

As for the other two,

Gu An also got to know them.

Hu Linyu, an Immortal who looked around thirty, had skin exuding heat with faint white smoke rising. She had mid-stage Returning to Void cultivation.

There was also someone who seemed rather haggard, with a pale face and a thin body, early-stage Returning to Void cultivation, Li Zhenglei.

“Indeed, all of you are experts in logging.” Senior Brother Miao looked at Gu An and the other two with admiration and said:

“To let the side effects of logging linger till now, you must be people who have been logging special Spirit Trees for a long time.

You all have the qualifications to enter.”

Gu An’s vitality was withered and old.

Li Zhenglei was thin and pale.

Hu Linyu radiated heat, like being burned by fire.

These were three completely different Spirit Tree side effects.

Ordinary disciples wouldn’t have them at all.

Gu An never expected that the side effects would actually be more useful here.

Afterwards, Gu An followed Senior Brother Miao into the Array.

A moment later, they appeared in front of a forest.

The back of the forest was lush and full of vitality.

But inside the forest, there were numerous dead trees, like a desolate area devoid of life.

“Be careful, this forest is very strange. It seems to pose no danger, but it always gives people an unusual feeling,” Senior Brother Miao reminded.

Gu An also looked around warily, the Spiritual Energy here was quite strange, as if it was being absorbed by something inside.

And although the trees looked withered, they were actually still alive.

They were still holding on.

Because the land here was fertile enough and the mountain’s Spiritual Energy was dense enough.

So they were still struggling to survive.

Unfortunately, something seemed to be sucking the life out of them, attached like a vampire.

Gu An followed Senior Brother Miao inside.

Along the way, they saw some demon beasts lying on the ground.

They looked somewhat weak.

Senior Brother Miao collected the demon beasts and said: “These are the demon beasts I left behind, which means there’s been no major change here in the past seven days.

Moreover, they haven’t weakened much, indicating that the strange situation here has a minor effect on creatures.

But I’ve only tested for two months, so I can’t confirm if a quarter, half a year, or a year will remain equally safe.

You must be extremely cautious and don’t underestimate it.

Moreover, I will place demon beasts in different areas, if they exhibit any change, you must flee the forest immediately.”

With that, he gave the three of them three Jade Pendants: “These are Array Jade Pendants, once crushed, you will appear at the Array’s edge outside the forest.

If you reach the place successfully, don’t hesitate, enter the Array and return to the Sect.”

Gu An accepted the Token and thanked him.

“No need to thank me. If you use it and return alive, remember to pay ten thousand Spirit Stones,” Senior Brother Miao said calmly.

Gu An: “…..”

Then I’ll definitely use the Teleportation Talisman.

Ten thousand Spirit Stones, how long would it take to earn that.

As they went further inside, an enormous tree appeared.

The tree was towering, with a trunk as thick as a dragon coiled around it, bark cracked like dragon scales, exuding a bronze-like luster.

The canopy shrouded the sky, with a flowing emerald light among the leaves, resembling countless fireflies dancing in the night wind. Newest update provided by novelꞁire.net

The roots were exposed, as giant pythons winding, deeply rooted in the earth veins, absorbing nature’s Spiritual Energy.

It seemed extraordinary.

“Such solitary Spirit Trees usually hold little value, they can’t bear fruit nor can they be used to make tea, the only thing to see is whether they offer any cultivation value,” Senior Brother Miao said calmly as he led people under the tree: “This tree is too big and has existed for a long time.

Ordinary axes can’t cut it, you try.

I won’t be here all the time, in ten days I will return and take you away.

Regardless of the outcome, you have to leave once.

So your time is limited.

You needn’t bear any psychological burden, success is very difficult, failure is the norm.”

After giving some more instructions, Senior Brother Miao left.

He had to go somewhere else to discover new things.

Gu An stood in place looking at the tree before him, lightly touching it, indeed he could feel the texture.

But…..

It felt as if something was blocking him.

Clang!

At this time, Li Zhenglei had already swung his axe.

Unfortunately, it was as if he was chopping on an indestructible stone, without any effect.

Even with the use of Magic, it was the same.

Then he moved to the tree and dug at the roots.

Both were uncuttably tough.

Even the leaves were the same.

Not natural.

Gu An felt something was blocking them.

…..

Inside the Cangmu Sect Hall.

Qu Youdao looked at everyone below and said: “Received a message saying a Dragon Ball entered East Road Ancient State, not sure if it’s targeting the Sect Master.”
