Chapter 651: Mission
Long ago, Meng Zhang had the idea of going to rebuild the Taiyi Sect's mountain gate. However, due to unfavorable conditions, the plan has been delayed indefinitely.
Not to mention the possible obstacles from the nearby cultivation sects in the Grand Crossing Mountain Range, even just dealing with the demons occupying the Taiyi Sect's mountain gate is not an easy task that can be easily resolved.
Even after advancing to the Gold Corelate stage, according to the words of several Guardian Spirit Generals, it would still be extremely difficult for Meng Zhang to safely retreat if he were to be surrounded by a group of demons.
Over the years, the situation around Taiyi Sect has been tense, with one battle after another. Even if Meng Zhang wants to mobilize more Gold Core Daoist Masters from the sect to act together, it would be difficult to achieve.
Even now, though the situation in the Demon Wind Gobi seems stable, if Taiyi Sect were to suddenly withdraw too many Gold Core Daoist Masters, it would still bring about many problems.
After being reminded by the Extreme Sword Spirit General, Meng Zhang finally realized that joining the Jiuqu League's envoy to Grand Crossing Mountain Range is indeed a good opportunity.
Of course, due to the importance of this matter, although Meng Zhang is tempted, he didn't give an immediate response to the Extreme Sword Spirit General. He just said he wanted to think about it alone.
The Extreme Sword Spirit General didn't pressure him and, after saying what he wanted to say, took his leave.
After the Extreme Sword Spirit General left, Meng Zhang meditated in his quiet room, calming his mind and spirit. Then, he used the Grand Evolving Fortune technique to calculate the chances of success for his upcoming journey.
As the saying goes, it's difficult for a doctor to treat themselves. Many Diviners in the Cultivation World often find it challenging to calculate matters directly related to themselves. However, those who have mastered advanced techniques, like the Grand Evolving Fortune, have various ways to bypass this limitation.The deeper Meng Zhang delves into his cultivation, the more satisfied he becomes with the Grand Evolving Fortune he obtained through a fortuitous encounter in his past. This seemingly inconspicuous technique proves to be more miraculous than he ever expected and has helped him avoid many crises.
Considering that this mission involves battling demons and traveling far to the Grand Crossing Mountain Range, Meng Zhang is a bit uneasy. So, he quiets his mind and uses the Grand Evolving Fortune to calculate the outcome.
The result of the calculation is vague and obscure, making it difficult to understand. From what Meng Zhang interprets, this journey will be full of dangers, but within these perils lies vitality and immense opportunities.
In theory, given Meng Zhang's current status and position, he shouldn't need to pursue so-called opportunities desperately. Continuing his cultivation steadily, even though it might be challenging and involve many detours, it's not impossible for him to break through to the Primordial Spirit stage.
However, Meng Zhang keenly perceives the changes in the Jiuqu League and the surrounding regions. He and Taiyi Sect will once again face significant opportunities and challenges.
This is a crucial juncture, and if Meng Zhang can lead Taiyi Sect successfully through it, then a promising future awaits.
In order to seize the chance to break through to the Primordial Spirit stage as soon as possible, Meng Zhang must be willing to take risks and embark on this journey.
Though the calculated result of the Grand Evolving Fortune is not particularly ideal, as long as it's not an absolute dead end, he can still proceed.
After completing the calculation, Meng Zhang summons the Extreme Sword Spirit General and tells him of his decision. He has resolved to seize this opportunity and personally go to the Grand Crossing Mountain Range.
As the Demon Wind Gobi cannot be left without people, Meng Zhang will be accompanied by the Extreme Sword Spirit General on this trip.
Additionally, he brings along the remaining sub-disc of the Mother-Child Transmission Disc. The main disc of the Mother-Child Transmission Disc is placed at Taiyi Sect's mountain gate, the Hundred Grass Slope. The other sub-disc has been kept at Red Rock Valley, maintaining close contact with the sect despite its distance from the mountain gate.
Next, Meng Zhang issued an order to Niu Dawei, who was stationed in Jiuqu City, instructing him to utilize Taiyi Sect's connections to include himself and Extreme Sword Spirit General in the envoy heading out this time.
Taiyi Sect, with Jin Li True Monarch looking after it, boasts numerous Gold Core Daoist Masters and formidable strength, along with its possession of the precious Demon Wind Gobi. After years of hard work, its influence has penetrated into many corners of the Jiuqu League, forming a vast network of connections.
Though it may not compare to the Primordial Spirit sects, Taiyi Sect holds a prominent position among the Gold Core sects.
Within the Jiuqu League, there are many forces eager to befriend Taiyi Sect. Even the influential figures in the alliance are willing to establish a favorable relationship with Taiyi Sect.
The request made by Meng Zhang is not difficult; the envoy already consists of many members, so adding two more people on short notice is not a problem.
Niu Dawei, appearing as an elder of Taiyi Sect stationed in Jiuqu City, managed to arrange the inclusion of Meng Zhang and Extreme Sword Spirit General in the envoy's personnel list.
The envoy dispatched by the Jiuqu League to the Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle is of high status and considerable size. To ensure the safe arrival of the envoy at its destination, they have arranged for several powerful protectors.
Among the envoy, there are as many as three Primordial Spirit True Monarchs.
True Monarch Azure Gem from Azure Origin Sect, True Monarch You Hongzhi from Four Seas Commercial Firm, and True Monarch Profound Wind, who is a loose cultivator.
As for the other Gold Core Daoist Masters, they are too numerous to count.
Azure Origin Sect, as the largest sect in the Jiuqu League, is one of the two actual dominators of the alliance. All important matters within the Jiuqu League must be approved by Azure Origin Sect before implementation.
For matters as significant as contacting the Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle and jointly resisting the Dali Dynasty, the participation of Azure Origin Sect is naturally indispensable.
True Monarch Azure Gem, as an elder of Azure Origin Sect, is undoubtedly the leader of this mission.
Four Seas Commercial Firm, though ostensibly a trading business, is, in fact, one of the most powerful forces in the Jiuqu League, after Azure Origin Sect and Jade Sword Sect.
It conducts extensive business throughout the Jiuqu League and its surrounding regions, even extending deep into the Middle-Earth Continent.
Four Seas Commercial Firm also has numerous transactions with the Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle. Their caravans regularly travel between the two regions, and they have established many branch establishments there.
True Monarch You Hongzhi used to be responsible for Four Seas Commercial Firm's businesses in the Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle. He spent a long time there, becoming highly familiar with the situation and forming deep connections and relationships.
After becoming a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, he did not sever ties with the region; on the contrary, he made several trips to the Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle to maintain those connections.
True Monarch Profound Wind, as a loose cultivator, has always been independent within the Jiuqu League, maintaining a distance from the other high-ranking members of the alliance.
This approach means that many of the good opportunities within the alliance don't fall to him, but he also avoids taking on many unpleasant tasks.
However, this neutrality also brings him some benefits. Because he acts impartially and is known for his fairness, when the two major powers in the alliance distrust each other, they often turn to him.
As a neutral party, both major powers can reluctantly accept him.
Within the envoy, there are many Gold Core Daoist Masters, and aside from those with specific missions, such as Meng Zhang, each person has their own purposes.
