With the Yin Yang Gourd as his natal magic tool, Meng Zhang's combat power has increased significantly. Furthermore, when he achieves the Primordial Spirit in the future, there is a chance for this magic tool to be promoted to a Fourth Rank magic tool.
The importance of a natal magic tool to a Cultivator is self-evident, and Meng Zhang has finally made up for this shortcoming before entering the Primordial Spirit realm.
Soon after refining the Yin Yang Gourd, Shocking ThunderSpirit General and Delicate WaterSpirit General had to respond to the call and go to war in the intense battle at the Yuantu Great Prairie.
As Jade Sword Sect is about to launch a major counterattack against the extraterritorial Barbarian Clan, the demand for combat power on the frontlines becomes more urgent. All major forces of the Jiuqu League have been conscripted.
Several Gold Core Daoist Masters from Taiyi Sect, who were originally staying behind, were also called to the frontlines.
Meng Zhang, after spending a long time in the sect, felt a bit restless and decided to go to the Yuantu Great Prairie to participate in the battle against the extraterritorial Barbarian Clan. One reason was to witness the abilities of the Barbarian Clan, and the other was to rotate some of the Gold Core cultivators from his sect.
However, just as he was preparing to go, there was sudden intelligence from Red Rock Valley that there seemed to be unusual activity from the Sea Clan.
At this moment, Taiyi Sect is particularly vulnerable. Apart from a few recently formed Gold Core Daoist Masters, almost all the experienced Gold Core Daoist Masters have gone to the Yuantu Great Prairie.
More than half of the Foundation Building cultivators from the sect are also mobilized. The remaining less than half have to take care of various affairs within and outside Taiyi Sect, looking after the vast territory of the sect, and they are already overwhelmed with work.
The fact that the Sea Clan chose this time to cause trouble really angered Meng Zhang.Having reached the Gold Core completion realm and possessing a new natal magic tool, Meng Zhang was itching for action.
If the Sea Clan dares to cause trouble at this time, he will not back down.
Meng Zhang teleported from the Hundred Grass Slope of the sect to Red Rock Valley, where the newly formed Gold Core Daoist Master, Luo Sanping, was patrolling outside. He hurriedly came to report when he heard that the Sect Master had arrived.
Luo Sanping had not been in the Gold Core realm for long and had formed the core around the same time as Meng Zhang's two disciples, An Xiaoran and An Moran.
He had only recently stabilized his Cultivation Base in the Gold Core realm and had not practiced many secret techniques or Divine Abilities. But due to the shortage of manpower in the sect, he was mobilized to guard Red Rock Valley.
Fortunately, Taiyi Sect now has two Third Rank tool refiners, Shocking ThunderSpirit General and Delicate WaterSpirit General, which ensures that the Gold Core Daoist Masters in the sect can obtain Third Rank magic tools.
Moreover, Taiyi Sect can intermittently acquire some Third Rank magic tools from the outside through various means. In the recently rebuilt treasure trove of Taiyi Sect, there are several usable Third Rank magic tools.
Of course, the truly powerful magic tools are distributed among the cultivators for the final mountain gate defense battle.
Luo Sanping holds a Third Rank magic tool and relies on a Third Rank mountain-guarding formation. As long as it's not a massive invasion by the Sea Clan, he can protect Red Rock Valley.
Even if they encounter a full-scale attack from the Sea Clan, he can hold on for a while and buy time for Taiyi Sect to mobilize its forces.
According to Luo Sanping's report, the Sea Clan has been constantly mobilizing its forces at the border of Taiyi Sect's territory. Their armies occasionally form formations in the border area and sometimes seem to be ready to launch a sudden attack on Taiyi Sect's territory.
After listening to Luo Sanping's report, Meng Zhang has a rough judgment in his mind.
It seems that the Sea Clan currently does not have plans for a large-scale invasion. Otherwise, they wouldn't need to create such a spectacle and could directly launch an attack.
They are most likely trying to bluff and disrupt the enemy.
Of course, if Taiyi Sect appears too weak and exposes significant vulnerabilities, the Sea Clan might take the opportunity to launch a genuine attack and take advantage of Taiyi Sect.
As long as the Sea Clan retreats before the Human Clan's Primordial Spirit True Monarch intervenes, the True Monarch from the Human Clan should not cause any trouble and will firmly hold on to the situation.
These Sea Clan guys really know how to seize opportunities. Taking advantage of the Jiuqu League's battle with the extraterritorial Barbarian Clan, they deliberately stir up trouble here.
Of course, the extraterritorial Barbarian Clan is the mortal enemy of the Human Clan Cultivators and also the enemy of the Sea Clan.
Although the possibility of collusion between the Sea Clan and the extraterritorial Barbarian Clan is not high, Meng Zhang still cannot take it lightly.
After checking the defenses inside and outside Red Rock Valley and confirming that there were no issues, he rejected Luo Sanping's offer to accompany him and flew alone towards the border area between Taiyi Sect and the Sea Clan.
According to Meng Zhang's judgment, as long as the Sea Clan does not intend to wage a full-scale war with the Jiuqu League, they will not deploy Fourth Rank experts. Being a Gold Core completion cultivator, he has nothing to worry about as long as he doesn't get surrounded by the Sea Clan's army.
When Meng Zhang arrived at the border area, he indeed saw a large Sea Clan army forming up ahead.
Although Meng Zhang wished he could annihilate the entire Sea Clan army, the situation forced him to consider his strategy.
The Sea Clan does not want to engage in a full-scale war with the Jiuqu League, which is currently at war with the extraterritorial Barbarian Clan. Similarly, the Jiuqu League does not want to break out into a full-scale war with the Sea Clan at this time.
If Meng Zhang were to cause significant casualties among the Sea Clan's army at this time, Taiyi Sect might have to face the retaliation of the entire Sea Clan alone.
He took out the Yin Yang Gourd, which he had been nurturing in his dantian for a long time, in his left hand.
Meng Zhang raised his left hand, and a black and white mixed airflow spewed out from the mouth of the gourd, transforming into three Daoists wearing black and white Dao robes. These were the Yin Yang Dao Soldiers nurtured within the Yin Yang Gourd. Nurturing Dao Soldiers requires a lot of precious materials and a considerable amount of time.
Under conditions of sufficient materials, one can nurture a Dao Soldier with the initial strength of the Gold Core realm each year, with a total of nine possible. If nurturing Dao Soldiers with the strength of the Foundation Building realm, six can be nurtured each year, with a total of thirty-six possible.
With this Yin Yang Gourd, as long as Meng Zhang had enough materials and time, he alone could rival a well-established Gold Core sect.
Due to time and material constraints, Meng Zhang had only nurtured three Dao Soldiers with the initial strength of the Gold Core realm within the Yin Yang Gourd.
As for Dao Soldiers with the strength of the Foundation Building realm, Taiyi Sect was not lacking. Within the mountain gate, there was a Soldier Nest that had been modified by Meng Zhang.
The Soldier Nest was a legacy left behind by the Fifth Rank Earth Spirit and, after Meng Zhang mastered it, became the source of Dao Soldier production for Taiyi Sect.
From initially producing only one type of Dao Soldier called the Yellow Earth Strongman, it could now produce a total of four types of Dao Soldiers.
Usually, the Soldier Nest primarily produces First Rank and Second Rank Dao Soldiers.
With this batch of Dao Soldiers, Taiyi Sect's strength in lower-level cultivators has increased several times.
Although Dao Soldiers cannot replace cultivators in many situations, they significantly narrowed the gap between Taiyi Sect and those well-established sects.
Now, Meng Zhang summoned these three Gold Core stage Yin Yang Dao Soldiers to show the Sea Clan army some strength and deter them from taking advantage of the situation.
