Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Once the Six Spirits Golden Light Formation was activated, there were obvious signs around the Red Rock Valley. The range covered by the golden light kept expanding, and the defensive power of the great formation also gradually increased. After the Formations Hall cultivator arrived, the elite cultivators of Taiyi Sect gathered at Hundred Grass Slope and used the Mother-Child Transmission Disc to teleport to Red Rock Valley.

The straight-line distance between Hundred Grass Slope and Red Rock Valley is approximately over 28,000 li (a unit of measurement). This distant distance was instantly crossed, as if it were a divine tool to mobilize forces. However, the activation of the great formation also consumed a large amount of Taiyi Sect's Void Nether Stones.

After these well-trained Taiyi Sect elite disciples arrived at Hundred Grass Slope, they immediately started to act according to their previous training. Some occupied various nodes of the great formation, while others directly joined the defensive system of the great formation.

Both the Deep Earth Spirit General and the Formations Hall cultivator had not yet rested. The hastily set up defensive great formation had some flaws that needed to be slowly adjusted, checked, and improved to strive for a flawless state.

With the arrival of the elite army of Taiyi Sect in the great formation, they defended inside the Third Rank defensive great formation and effectively prevented the Sea Clan army from breaking through and entering Red Rock Valley unless a Fourth Rank expert, at the level of Primordial Spirit, intervened.

Three Sea Clan experts in the distance sensed the activation of the defensive great formation. Though separated by the great formation, they were not aware of the continuous reinforcement of Taiyi Sect's troops. Nevertheless, they knew that with this defensive great formation in place, it wouldn't be easily conquered in a short period. They needed to plan for the long term and carefully consider their strategies. Even the impulsive Sea Patrolling Yaksha became dejected.

With the completion of the task of setting up the defensive great formation, Deep Earth Spirit General, Meng Zhang, Extreme Sword Spirit General, and Delicate Water Spirit General became much more relaxed. Meng Zhang left Extreme Sword Spirit General and Delicate Water Spirit General outside and returned to Red Rock Valley.

Upon returning to the valley, Yang Xueyi had already been teleported to Red Rock Valley and was commanding the disciples to set up the defense. Seeing Yang Xueyi's well-organized command, Meng Zhang refrained from intervening.

Having been busy all along, Meng Zhang finally had some free time and started patrolling inside Red Rock Valley. The valley, nestled among the mountains, was extremely vast, with flat plains extending for dozens of li and occasional undulating slopes.

This place used to be the main base of the Demon Wind Gobi's western beasts, where numerous powerful beasts, including Third Rank ones, often gathered. Although Third Rank beasts possessed intelligence rivaling humans, they lacked human civilization.

There were originally some crude structures in the valley, not even considered proper buildings, more like simple pits and holes. These things that normal humans couldn't accept showed the coarseness and barbarism of the beasts.

After the Sea Clan occupied the place, due to the short time since their arrival, they had not had the opportunity for large-scale construction and development. They only set up some buildings with distinctive Sea Clan characteristics in a few corners of the valley. These buildings looked like giant shells on the outside, but their interiors were incredibly spacious, serving as temporary warehouses for the Sea Clan.

Both Human Clan and Sea Clan cultivators had limited storage space in their magic tools

Jiuqu League, a place far away from Middle-Earth Continent, not only has average craftsmanship among cultivators but also lacks complete materials. Especially special materials like Void Nether Stone are perennially scarce. The Sea Clan's crafting techniques are also primitive and crude, even inferior to those in Jiuqu League. Thus, they face the same problem of lacking Void Nether Stones.

Supplying a large army for combat requires a tremendous amount of logistical supplies. Without sufficient storage space, they can only rely on clumsy methods to slowly transport the goods. After the Sea Clan occupied Red Rock Valley, it became an important logistics distribution center where a vast amount of supplies transported from the sea were stored.

In addition, the Sea Clan, which held the advantage in the war, already considered Demon Wind Gobi as their own territory. During the intervals of the conflict, the Sea Clan army looted a large number of supplies from the surroundings and temporarily stored them in Red Rock Valley.

As Meng Zhang entered the warehouse, he couldn't help but show a happy smile upon seeing the plentiful variety of goods. This time, they hit the jackpot, and this operation was truly worthwhile. Leaving aside other gains, just the current harvest would be enough for Taiyi Sect to recoup the costs of this war and have plenty left.

The warehouse was filled with sealed spirit chests, a mass-produced item commonly used by both the Sea Clan and the Human Clan. Though the methods of crafting were different for both sides, the function was similar. Sealed spirit chests themselves did not have spatial properties; they were boxes used to store spiritual objects. The materials of the boxes were engraved with talismans on the outside to ensure that the spiritual energy of the stored items would not leak out.

Meng Zhang opened the sealed spirit chests one by one and casually scanned the contents. The most common were various spirit stones, which the Sea Clan used to replenish their inner spiritual power despite their different cultivation system from the Human Clan.

Next were various herbs native to the sea, which, after simple refinement, could be used for various purposes. The Sea Clan's methods of preparing spiritual medicines were too crude, and they could not fully bring out the medicinal properties.

If these herbs were handed over to Taiyi Sect's alchemists, they could refine a large number of potent spiritual pills.

There were all sorts of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects that could be used to repair magic tools, practice certain special spells, and serve as materials for casting spells.

Although the Sea Clan soldiers' weapons were poorly crafted, the materials used were quite good. The weapons themselves were not of great use but could be melted down and reused.

What surprised Meng Zhang the most was that whether it was spirit stones, spiritual herbs, or Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects, water-system items were the majority. This was quite normal since the Sea Clan came from the sea, and their cultivation techniques and primary resources revolved around water-system spiritual objects.

Even in the scorching and arid Demon Wind Gobi, not to mention the Endless Sea of Sand, there was also a significant shortage of water-system spiritual objects. Even in Jiuqu League, water-system spiritual objects were not abundant.

The spoils Taiyi Sect obtained from the Sea Clan this time filled the void within the sect. These water-system spiritual objects were not only sufficient for Taiyi Sect's use but could also be sold in large quantities to the outside.

Time was tight, so Meng Zhang only gave a brief scan and did not meticulously count the items. He left the warehouse.

In the vast valley, many Taiyi Sect cultivators were controlling various construction golems, leveling the broken buildings, and beginning to construct temporary structures. On the surrounding mountain walls, other Taiyi Sect cultivators were busy, carving various runes to enhance the defense around the valley.
