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

"First, we need to find out where the Curse Heaven Stele is."

Gu An nodded and then asked, "What is its connection to the Nine Heavens Divine Monarch?"

Chu Meng munched on peanuts, casually saying, "That’s a major connection, they say before Nine Heavens Divine Monarch was crowned, he entered the Moon Clan, and had deep ties with the people there.

If a fake goes in, they’ll be exposed instantly."

Gu An was silent for a moment and then said, "So, going in there means I can’t pretend to be the Nine Heavens Divine Monarch?"

"It’s hard to say, maybe they have changed several generations over time." Chu Meng poured herself a cup of tea and said, "If you become immortal too late and miss your chance, you can try approaching the Moon Clan as the Nine Heavens Divine Monarch; there might be a chance to become immortal."

Gu An thought it best to forget about it, as the Nine Heavens Divine Monarch has close ties with them, using that identity might backfire.

Better to quickly enhance my cultivation.

Avoid provoking people and affairs, to steer clear of myriad troubles.

With this thought, Gu An felt matters were nearly resolved.

Afterwards, all he had to do was continue waiting for the marriage.

Just as he was thinking this, suddenly the Jade Ruyi emitted a slight tremor.

Chu Meng, who was drinking tea, was slightly surprised and then threw the item back to Gu An.

Gu An hurriedly caught the Jade Ruyi, slightly perplexed, "Senior, why throw it to me?"

"You’re the Nine Heavens Divine Monarch, naturally, you should respond." Chu Meng got up and stepped back.

After a pause, she approached the table and took the peanuts away, "Now you can respond."

Gu An: "...."

Is it really necessary to take those peanuts?

Additionally, what’s happening here?

Has someone from the other side contacted us?

So many questions, but in the end, all he could do was look at Chu Meng.

"It should be someone from a Star Constellation contacting you about the person you killed; you were too ruthless, killed without leaving any trace, and were detected by the other side." Chu Meng shook her head, sighed, and continued, "Don’t think about refusing to respond, that would invite more troubles.

Just communicate with them as the Nine Heavens Divine Monarch.

Wear the All Living Beings.

With the Inch Tripod on your head, they can’t see your true appearance, nor can they probe your Heavenly Mechanism.

Long-distance communication, you are invincible.

If worse comes to worse, I will have your back as your superior."

Gu An: "..."

You said last time, these words were just to give me confidence, to act without worries.

Sighing, Gu An donned the All Living Beings.

His face became concealed, while the Qinglian inside him began to sway, activating the Xuanhuang Qi.

For a moment, Gu An was enveloped in an indescribable sense of mystery.

Before communicating with the Jade Ruyi, Gu An took on the persona of the Nine Heavens Divine Monarch, overlooking the nine heavens from above.

All worldly things seemed but a speck of dust in his eyes.

A touch of calmness and detachment appeared in his gaze.

Gu An had a peculiar feeling, as if the Seven Emotions and Six Desires resonated with him.

No joy, no sadness, no desires, no demands.

He then began to connect with the Jade Ruyi.

Soon, a phantom slowly materialized in front of the table.

This was the power of the Jade Ruyi coalescing.

No actual person appeared.

As the phantom formed, a terrifying aura vibrated, causing the space around to distort.

It seemed the space distortion from the other side had gathered over.

Chu Meng retreated a bit and said, "The other side is trying to give you a show of force, but don’t worry; upon seeing you, their challenge will be their own humiliation."

Gu An’s heart pounded, but since Chu Meng said so, it must be true.

Quickly the figure formed, and in a flash, their gazes met.

At the sight of the other, Gu An felt deep as an abyss, his strength beyond words.

As if only in tales.

Never before had he seen such a mighty presence.

The many strong entities that attacked the Cangmu Sect couldn’t compare.

The moment the other saw the person in front of them, they froze, with calmness, detachment, indescribable, untraceable, immovable; that aura of mystery and tranquility shook one’s heart and mind.

His own might was evident, yet the other’s divine brilliance was restrained, allowing for his power to clash without finding any weakness.

Originally intending to intimidate the other, he did not expect to humiliate himself.

With lowered brows, he gazed at the person in front, emotions swirling inside.

Could there really be such a powerful being in this world?

He couldn’t believe it, yet the other was indeed extraordinary.

Soon, suppressing his Qi, he said, "I am Dongfang Weihuo, may I inquire who you are?"

Gu An felt nervous inside but suppressed all emotions, calmly speaking, "Nine Heavens."

The moment Dongfang Weihuo heard these words, his brows furrowed, "Nine Heavens Divine Monarch?"

Gu An calmly looked at the person in front, not addressing the question but saying, "Sea-born Heavenly Court has been quite active lately."

Dongfang Weihuo squinted at Gu An upon hearing this and said, "The Divine Monarch’s demeanor is different than before."

Gu An chuckled lightly, "Buddhist people use the Sea-born Heavenly Court to threaten me. Don’t you find that interesting?"

Dongfang Weihuo self-muttered, "The Divine Monarch is ultimately not the Hall Master, right?"

Gu An’s heart fell silent, pondering why he wouldn’t respond to his words.

He couldn’t just follow the other’s words, thus had to change the topic.

Who’d have thought, the other also wouldn’t follow the topic.

Beside him, Chu Meng watched, shaking her head, eating peanuts with increasing excitement.

Gu An sighed internally and could only ramble, "Perhaps the Nine Heavens is no longer the Nine Heavens of old, or has already surpassed the Hall Master."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Weihuo furrowed his brow, "Seems the Divine Monarch’s style remains unchanged, but the Hall Master is the Hall Master, and Nine Heavens is merely Nine Heavens.

Sometimes, aspirations alone aren’t enough."

Gu An originally intended to remain silent, unable to discern the issue between Nine Heavens and the Hall Master.

But suddenly, he saw Chu Meng raise the book in her hand, with a line of text written on it.

Seeing this, Gu An wondered if he might be being too bold.

Hesitating, he locked his gaze onto Dongfang Weihuo and softly said, "Standing in front of me now, do you still dare to say such words?"

The other fell silent.

Seemed somewhat afraid of Nine Heavens Divine Monarch.

Then, he finally spoke, "How about we make a deal? Someone in Jiutian Temple wants to target the Divine Monarch, I can help send them back, but hope you return the Jade Ruyi to its rightful owner."

Gu An noticed Chu Meng wrote another line for him: Be more bold, I’ll handle if anything happens.

Gu An: "...."

The level difference is vast, but my superior says so, and the other side is separated by Magic Treasure.

Should be no problem then.

But he is cautious to avoid exposure.

Since it’s boldness, it shouldn’t compromise intel.

Staring at the person before him, Gu An no longer held back.

"Are you threatening me?" Gu An said coldly yet with a smile, "You might have misunderstood me a little, but fortunately, Jiutian Temple will come.

Very soon, you will recognize me anew.

By then, you will still tell me, Nine Heavens is Nine Heavens, Hall Master is Hall Master.

But Nine Heavens will ascend beyond the Hall Master."

The other side fell silent for quite some time and then said, "Then let’s wait and see."

The communication then ended.

Watching the other’s figure vanish, Gu An let out a heavy breath.

He then handed the Jade Ruyi back to Chu Meng, "Senior, this should be handed over to you, so you can advance further."

Chu Meng stepped back and while eating peanuts said, "Superiors need tranquility too, this trouble you can keep yourself, besides, weren’t you going to let him wait and see?

If he contacts you next time and can’t find you, would it seem the Nine Heavens Divine Monarch was scared?

If I hand it over, wouldn’t your Nine Heavens Divine Monarch title be exposed?"

Gu An was silent for a moment and said, "You could keep it without handing it over."

Chu Meng paused her peanut grabbing, somewhat incredulous, "I’m your bride-to-be, do you not wish me well?"

Gu An: "...."

Then you shouldn’t wish me ill either.

In the end, Gu An sealed the item within the Fourth Star.

Without Age Cycle Twelve Stars, he wouldn’t know how to live.

So many chaotic things indeed.

However, Sea-born Heavenly Court truly is emerging.

But this is a matter for the mighty ones.

Has nothing to do with him.

Currently, due to the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, it seems there’s bound to be a clash with Jiutian Temple.

Just don’t know whether it’s before or after the marriage.

Chu Meng patted Gu An’s shoulder and said, "You must understand, as your superior, but also your fiancee, even if I keep it, it should be part of the dowry.

As my husband, discarding the superior status, everything else that’s mine is yours.

Giving it to me is like giving it to you."

Gu An: "...."

You could cancel the marriage.

Then it wouldn’t be mine.
