After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 76 - You Should Be the Pioneer
76: Chapter 76: You Should Be the Pioneer
76 -76: You Should Be the Pioneer
The Chapter on Seven Emotions and Six Desires is about controlling the mind and spirit.
Controlling emotions is currently sufficient, but control over the spirit is far from enough.
In those woods, without enhancing this aspect, one wouldn’t last long.
To continue staying there, significant willpower is needed.
Or an exceptionally strong spirit.
Breathing out, Gu An just walked out of the yard, to the edge of the pond.
At this time, Big Eye Fish had already been waiting for a long time.
Swimming in endless circles.
Gu An threw a few peanuts in, asking:
“Did someone come last night?”
Big Eye Fish shook its head.
With that, Gu An threw a few more: “Remember to notify me if someone comes.”
Saying this, he then strode away.
Utilizing Hundred Steps Chasing Wind.
He needed to hurry up with logging.
To complete today’s task.
After all, this is about his own merits and Spirit Stones.
Don’t lose the merit and stones here for eight Spirit Stones.
Although overall it’s still a gain, it felt like a loss.
Arriving at the Qingyang Wood logging area, Gu An picked up an axe and began to cut wood.
Just before the bell rang, Gu An finally finished the task.
He also let out a sigh of relief.
After submitting the axe, he returned home again to read the Seven Emotions and Six Desires.
Nighttime.
After meeting up with the four others, they headed towards the mountain logging area together.
Because the first ten days were habitual, they were just tired and had no apparent injuries.
Gu An was different; he was logging with all his might.
Seeing him more wilted day by day, the three understood that eight Spirit Stones were not easy to earn.
On the tenth day.
Upon returning, Gu An breathed a sigh of relief.
Glancing at his panel, it showed:
[Name: Gu An]
[Cultivation: Ninth Level of Qi Refining]
[Status: Poisoned]
[Magic: 50/50]
[Hard Cultivation: 100/100]
[Ring of Destiny]
It was full.
But…
There was an inexplicable pain in his body, and his spirit was extremely weary.
It felt like his head was about to split open.
In such a condition, he couldn’t engage in Hard Cultivation.
Otherwise, he wasn’t sure if it would cause complications.
Breathing out, Gu An decided to first study the Chapter on Seven Emotions and Six Desires.
To see if it could alleviate the mental pain.
He could somewhat understand why Inner Sect Disciples sought others to cut wood.
This job was not easy.
Once you start logging, it’s hard to cultivate properly.
Back at his residence, Gu An asked Big Eye Fish if anyone had come the previous night before returning to his place.
Today was different from the past.
Big Eye Fish nodded, but there was no one inside.
That meant someone indeed came last night.
Who it specifically was remained unanswered by it.
Taking a deep breath and resting briefly, Gu An sat cross-legged, beginning to enhance the Seven Emotions and Six Desires.
After extracting the value of the Magic, Gu An felt as if he had entered into a dream.
Enduring intense pain, he began to recite the Seven Emotions and Six Desires.
Over and over again.
To review the old and understand the new.
He felt the pain in his mind gradually subsiding, his initially fragile spirit becoming more resilient.
And his heart became more stable.
Like a little grass, sensitively detecting any external wind and rain.
In the dream, Gu An felt he was in a special situation as if surroundings were filled with happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy.
It wasn’t about controlling them, but allowing himself to calm down, unaffected.
After experiencing it for a moment, Gu An felt he was being forcibly pulled from this feeling.
Thus, the dream shattered.
Gu An opened his eyes.
Feeling his own condition, he found the headache had disappeared.
His spirit became more tenacious, and he could perceive more things; his vision and hearing had greatly cleared.
But the Seven Emotions and Six Desires were still at the introductory stage.
Yet the progress was extraordinarily clear.
Recalling the dream, Gu An found the answer.
“Seven Emotions and Six Desires is not about Small Success and Great Success, but about controlling the seven emotions and six desires.”
“Now I can only keep myself unaffected by emotions, forcibly calming myself down.”
“Gradually controlling these emotions will likely change my Mental State.”
“Once all the Seven Emotions and Six Desires are controlled, that will be the Great Success.”
“But what will happen then?”
Gu An wasn’t sure, but he knew he must cultivate.
Without cultivation, he would be beaten at every turn.
Being interrogated would leak some information, and if his spirit couldn’t bear it, he wouldn’t be able to upgrade quickly.
This could pose dangers.
The faster he progresses, the safer he would be.
He checked the time outside; it was not yet noon.
There was still time.
Afterward, he continued to temper the Nourishing Life Technique.
After several such temperings and then advancing to Foundation Establishment, he should be stronger than the average practitioner at that stage.
Good innate conditions lead to higher combat power later on.
He then began Hard Cultivation.
And entered the dream once again.
Day by day, he tempered his current realm, but physical pain somewhat hindered this tempering.
Yet with more tempering, everything improved.
His meridians and Spiritual Energy both were enhanced.
Time flew by, already ignored.
When Gu An noticed his condition had improved by another 10%, he opened his eyes.
Feeling the Spiritual Energy, Gu An was sure that he was now stronger than most at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining.
The Spiritual Energy was dense and pure.
Only…
It should be a bit stronger.
This was the initial 10%, not based on the current level.
So it still was affected by logging.
But ultimately, it was good, a significant improvement.
Next time he faced Qing Chenxi, a single Sky Gang Mountain Opening Fist might kill him.
Thus, Gu An went to log in the Qingyang Wood Area.
In the evening, he continued towards the mountainside.
This time returning, the three people accompanying him were much more exhausted than before.
They had to meet the standards; they couldn’t adapt like last time.
Ten days later.
Originally walking upright, the three were now walking bent over.
Gu An was also in great pain; one enhancement didn’t grant much immunity.
But luckily, after another ten days, he could improve again.
“I’m not coming anymore,” one of the men spoke up.
He was dressed in coarse linen.
Named Feng Lin, at the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining.
“Why, why?” the muscular man beside him asked.
His throat had some defect, said to be caused by someone beating him; since then, he stuttered.
Named Yu Tu, at the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining.
“Who knew the attack of Thunder Wood here was so strong?
If this continues, my body won’t take it, and I’ll lose the normal Merit and Spirit Stones,” Feng Lin complained discontentedly.
“But we have taken the Spirit Stones,” the last woman spoke.
Her name was Zeng Lan, also at the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining.
Walking was also painful for her.
Recently, her face had paled a lot, these Spirit Stones were hard earned.
“It doesn’t matter, I’ll give them back,” Feng Lin said angrily: “What kind of task is this for a normal Disciple?”
Saying this, Feng Lin looked at Gu An and the three said: “I’m speaking tonight; do you want to come with me?”
The three remained silent.
“Afraid of this?
What’s there to fear, could they really kill us?” Feng Lin looked at Gu An, speaking righteously:
“Junior Brother Gu, you’re the eldest and can’t bear this the most, you speak up first, I’ll come out and blame them.
The rest is up to me.
It’s just Spirit Stones, isn’t it?
I don’t want the Spirit Stones for the remaining ten days.
I’ll put in two pieces, and you three pieces; we can leave. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Never again do we have to indulge in this inhumane affair.”
