Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Three Gold Core realm Yin Yang Dao Soldiers and Meng Zhang stood together, each occupying a position. Then, Meng Zhang began to guide the Dao Soldiers to cast spells alongside him.

Suddenly, a treasure bead flew out from Meng Zhang's head, soaring high and heading straight for the Sea Clan army below. The treasure bead emitted a brilliant light, an almost endless radiance descending from the sky, covering the surrounding area.

As Meng Zhang advanced to the completion stage of the Gold Core realm, the power of his Divine Ability, Sun and Moon Divine Light, greatly strengthened. The overwhelming Sun and Moon Divine Light surged down, causing great chaos among the Sea Clan army below.

Under the illumination of the Sun and Moon Divine Light, the Sea Clan army showed little resistance. Everyone felt dizzy and disoriented, barely able to stand steady.

In the blink of an eye, the entire army fell into disarray, almost losing all fighting capacity. Two Third Rank Sea Clan commanders tried to fly up and shatter the Sun Moon Treasure Pearl above, but with a wave of Meng Zhang's hand, more powerful Sun and Moon Divine Light fell upon them, causing their souls to feel as if they were freezing, and they quickly lost the ability to fly, crashing down to the ground.

At this moment, if Meng Zhang wanted, he could easily annihilate the Sea Clan army before him. However, it was not an opportune time to engage in a full-scale war with the Sea Clan, so Meng Zhang resisted the urge to slaughter and flew away.

Next, Meng Zhang acted in the same manner, flying chaotically around the borderlines and causing confusion and disorder among any Sea Clan army they encountered. Seeing the strong reaction from Taiyi Sect, especially with a formidable figure like Meng Zhang stepping forward, the Sea Clan had no choice but to temporarily back down.

No Fourth Rank Sea Clan member dared to come forward, and even the Third Rank True Dragon soldiers were defeated under Meng Zhang's command. Unless the Sea Clan mobilized multiple powerful beings to surround and attack him, they were basically powerless against Meng Zhang.

However, the Sea Clan was also not prepared for a full-scale war with the Jiuqu League and, therefore, did not want to launch a large-scale attack.

After Meng Zhang's actions during this period, the Sea Clan's army had to temporarily retreat to avoid direct conflict with him. Although Meng Zhang knew this was just a temporary measure and did not address the root problem, he had no better solution for now.

Meng Zhang flew back to Red Rock Valley and instructed the cultivators stationed there to strengthen their defenses before teleporting back to the mountain gate, Hundred Grass Slope. He hadn't been away for long, and nothing significant had happened at the mountain gate. The latest battle reports from the front lines had not arrived yet.

At this time, Xu Mengying, the saintess of the Yellow Lotus Sect, arrived at Maple Leaf Mountain City and called for the Taiyi Sect disciples stationed there to deliver a message. She wanted to meet with Meng Zhang to discuss important matters.

Daoist Master Mountain Garden and others had disappeared during their last encounter at the Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle, and this matter was attributed to Xu Mengying by True Monarch Mountain Peak.

However, for many years, Xu Mengying had not shown herself on the Jiuqu League's side, so they couldn't find her to hold her accountable. Of course, her prolonged absence also made it easier for True Monarch Mountain Peak to consolidate the actions of the Yellow Lotus Sect.

According to the information received by Meng Zhang, True Monarch Mountain Peak would soon formally ascend to the position of Yellow Lotus Sect's Cult Master, uniting the fragmented Yellow Lotus Sect once again.

Xu Mengying's situation had become extremely dire; she was almost cornered. If she didn't have any means of turning the tables, she might not dare to return to the Jiuqu League in the future.

Meng Zhang certainly did not want to see True Monarch Mountain Peak become the Yellow Lotus Sect's Cult Master and unify the entire sect. However, he knew he couldn't directly confront a Primordial Spirit realm True Monarch.

Now that Xu Mengying had come seeking help, Meng Zhang was prepared to meet with her. If Xu Mengying had a viable plan to counter True Monarch Mountain Peak, Meng Zhang might consider intervening. But if she was merely planning to use him as cannon fodder, he would decline politely.

Meng Zhang teleported from Hundred Grass Slope to Maple Leaf Mountain City and met Xu Mengying in a secluded room. It had been many years since they last saw each other, and Meng Zhang noticed significant changes in Xu Mengying.

The delicate and weak aura that used to be on her face had completely vanished. She had become remarkably resolute, giving off a sense of extraordinary reliability. Her cultivation was also much stronger, akin to a towering mountain.

Meng Zhang's own cultivation had reached the completion stage of the Gold Core realm, and he considered himself among the top cultivators below the Primordial Spirit realm. However, he still couldn't fully understand Xu Mengying's strength. Moreover, whenever he faced her, his Spiritual Awareness kept warning him, as if she concealed some great danger.

After Xu Mengying saw Meng Zhang, she didn't waste any words and directly sought his help to slay a powerful demon. Of course, Meng Zhang, as the pillar of the righteous path and the Sect Master of Taiyi Sect, wouldn't ignore such a matter. However, he wouldn't help without any conditions or act rashly.

Meng Zhang smiled, not agreeing immediately, but waiting to see what conditions she would offer to win him over.

Meng Zhang believed that Xu Mengying probably couldn't offer conditions that would sway him. Yellow Lotus Sect might be a Primordial Spirit level sect, but Xu Mengying had been living on her own, and the benefits she had offered the last time were likely her maximum capacity.

With the gains he acquired in the independent space of the Void Cauldron, both he and Taiyi Sect lacked urgent necessities. Now, if Xu Mengying wanted to win Meng Zhang's favor, it was not as easy as before, and the difficulty had significantly increased.

Xu Mengying understood Meng Zhang's meaning and slightly moved her red lips, uttering four words: "Heavenly Dao Merit Points."

Meng Zhang's expression froze as he tried hard not to show any surprise. He knew very well what Heavenly Dao Merit Points were and how crucial they were, as he had experienced them personally.

Especially now, Meng Zhang was at the critical point of completing the Gold Core stage and about to break through to the Primordial Spirit realm. This process had no shortcuts; it relied on hard work and effort. If luck was not on his side, it was entirely possible for Meng Zhang to spend decades or even hundreds of years at this stage, and it was not uncommon for cultivators to be stuck at this bottleneck for their entire lifetimes without reaching the Primordial Spirit realm.

Even the so-called Primordial Spirit seeds from prominent sects and families in the Cultivation World had countless geniuses who wandered for hundreds of years before entering the Primordial Spirit realm. Such examples were too numerous to count.

Not to mention others, just within the newly rebuilt Taiyi Sect, there were many extraordinary cultivators with all the necessary conditions, yet they couldn't advance to the Primordial Spirit realm throughout their lifetimes.

The difficulty of advancing to the Primordial Spirit realm was so great that even Meng Zhang, who was usually full of self-confidence, didn't dare to claim a hundred percent success rate.
