Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

In recent years, there have been various changes within the Jiuqu League. All sorts of intelligence and information are transmitted back to the sect through Taiyi Sect's outpost stationed in the Jiuqu League. They leave no detail unreported.

Not to mention anything else, since Taiyi Sect joined the Jiuqu League, they have been qualified in gathering various information. As long as the information is not too highly classified, it is made public to the sect's disciples. Any disciple interested can freely inquire about it. If there are specific special needs, they can even use the sect's good deeds to exchange for more detailed intelligence.

The Jiuqu League has increased the demands for contributions from its members, and Taiyi Sect also needs to submit more cultivation resources and spirit stones. However, with Taiyi Sect's current financial strength and income situation, they can manage it without feeling too much pressure.

What Sect Master Meng Zhang truly cares about is when Taiyi Sect disciples will be summoned to participate in the war at Yuantu Great Prairie.

As for the news that the Jiuqu League is preparing to send an envoy to the Grand Crossing Mountain Range, he has naturally heard of it but hasn't paid much attention, thinking it has nothing to do with himself.

Shortly after this information was transmitted back to the sect, the elder of the sect, Extreme Sword Spirit General, took the initiative to visit.

With Extreme Sword Spirit General's status, he easily met with Meng Zhang. After the proper courtesy of meeting the Sect Master, Extreme Sword Spirit General went straight to the point.

It turns out that his main purpose for visiting Meng Zhang this time is to ask him to find a way to join the Jiuqu League's envoy heading to the Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle and go to the Grand Crossing Mountain Range together.

Facing Meng Zhang's puzzled expression, Extreme Sword Spirit General explained carefully.

This dispatch of the Jiuqu League's envoy to the Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle is of great significance, as it relates to their plan to counter the Dali Dynasty. To prevent any accidents during the mission, the escorting force of the envoy will undoubtedly be strengthened.

If Meng Zhang can accompany the envoy on the journey, the safety along the way will be guaranteed. After arriving at the Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle, as a member of the Jiuqu League envoy, Meng Zhang's status will be special, and he will receive preferential treatment from many local cultivation forces, which will facilitate his future actions.

If there are any hiccups in Meng Zhang's actions, with his identity, it will also be easier for him to pass through without arousing suspicion.

As for why Extreme Sword Spirit General is insisting on Meng Zhang taking this opportunity to go to the Grand Crossing Mountain Range, he doesn't need to explain much, as Meng Zhang is already well aware.

After Taiyi Sect's mysterious annihilation on the Middle-Earth Continent, some survivors escaped to the Grand Crossing Mountain Range and rebuilt Taiyi Sect there. Later, during the demonic calamity, Taiyi Sect was once again destroyed, and only a few disciples managed to escape. Everything at the sect's gate had to be abandoned.

Although demons occupied the Taiyi Sect's gate, given their intelligence, they might not be able to completely loot the place. Especially locations like the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, which contain invaluable legacies and scriptures for cultivators, are of no interest to demons.

Moreover, even if there were some exceptionally intelligent demons among them who knew how to collect the legacies of human cultivators, during the sect's annihilation, the remaining disciples would not have left everything unattended. Anything truly valuable and related to the sect's inheritance would have been carefully concealed.

Even if a cultivator were to arrive there, it would be extremely challenging to find these hidden treasures.

And the four Guardian Spirit Generals, being the most trusted dao soldiers of the sect, are well aware of many of the sect's secrets. If they were to return to the Taiyi Sect gate, they would likely be able to find clues to those hidden items.

As for why it is necessary for Sect Master Meng Zhang to personally go instead of delegating the task to a Gold Core cultivator under him, it's because certain secrets within the sect's gate can only be accessed by the Taiyi Sect Sect Master. Although Taiyi Sect has experienced several annihilation events and subsequent rebuildings, its lineage and traditions have remained unbroken.

The current Taiyi Sect is indeed a continuation of the flourishing Taiyi Sect from the past, and Sect Master Meng Zhang's identity has been passed down through generations, in accordance with the Taiyi Sect's rules. Despite the vast difference in the disciples' cultivation bases and the sect's overall strength, this Taiyi Sect of today maintains a legitimate and rightful succession from its heyday.

Even if the Primordial Spirit ancestors were still present, they would have to acknowledge Sect Master Meng Zhang's identity as completely reasonable and lawful. Within the rebuilt Taiyi Sect gate, there naturally exists a mechanism to confirm Meng Zhang's identity as Sect Master and recognize his authority.

To be honest, Meng Zhang has long been interested in the rebuilt Taiyi Sect gate. When he took over Taiyi Sect, it was impoverished and lacked everything. If it weren't for obtaining some of the legacies at the heritage grounds, he might not have made it to this point today.

However, the legacies obtained from the heritage grounds were not of a high enough level, limited to the Gold Core stage and below. Now that he has reached the Gold Core late stage and faces the problem of breaking through to the Primordial Spirit stage, he not only lacks complete cultivation techniques but also lacks the experiences and lessons of his predecessors on how to break through to the Primordial Spirit stage. He knows very little about many critical thresholds and barriers.

While Meng Zhang has referenced many other cultivation techniques and indeed gained a lot, if he truly wants to break through to the Primordial Spirit stage, he needs the inheritance of his own sect to have the greatest certainty.

According to the words of the Guardian Spirit Generals, although no Primordial Spirit cultivators emerged from the rebuilt Taiyi Sect, there is no lack of records on how to break through to the Primordial Spirit stage. Especially the core inheritance techniques within the sect still have complete records, enabling cultivation from the Refining Qi stage all the way to the Primordial Spirit stage.

During Taiyi Sect's heyday, the "Sun-Moon Wheel Turning Sutra" was renowned as an extraordinary superior scripture. As a core inheritance of the sect, many true disciples have practiced it. Numerous predecessors advanced through the stages, leaving behind their experiences, insights, and realizations of breaking through. For Meng Zhang, this knowledge would undoubtedly be of great use.

Although Meng Zhang's primary cultivation focus is on the "Sun-Moon Wheel Turning Sutra," he lacks guidance from senior disciples and has no same-level peers to exchange experiences with. He has relied solely on his exceptional comprehension and talent to progress to the Gold Core late stage.

However, if Meng Zhang wishes to advance further, he needs complete scriptures to study and preferably gain the experiences and lessons of his predecessors.

To solve this issue, it seems that the only hope lies in entering the gate occupied by demons and obtaining the inheritance left behind by Taiyi Sect. Especially with the changing circumstances in the surrounding areas and the deteriorating situation of the Jiuqu League, Meng Zhang needs to break through to the Primordial Spirit stage as quickly as possible to protect himself and safeguard the sect's power in the upcoming upheaval.

Only as a Primordial Spirit True Monarch can he have a place within the Jiuqu League and have a certain degree of influence. In such dire circumstances, relying on others' protection is unreliable, and he must stand on his own and strive for self-reliance.
