Chapter 390: The Great Foundation Establishment
ALL NOVELS'' LIST | Chapter List: Sect Master''s Immortal Journey
Meng Zhang traveled to Great Wind City this time, deliberately exposing the rtionship between his Taiyi Sect and the Gu Yue Family, even if it meant exaggerating it. Of course, he had his own motives for doing so. Over the years, Meng Zhang had contemted the development of Taiyi Sect on numerous asions.
Considering Taiyi Sect''s current strength, controlling such a vast territory was already quite challenging. There was currently no intention to expand further outward, nor was there enough power to encroach upon the territories of neighboring cultivation forces. Meng Zhang hoped to establish good rtions with the surrounding cultivation forces, organizing an alliance where Taiyi Sect would y a leading role, and everyone would support one another. This alliance woulde to each other''s aid in crucial times and act together for significant endeavors.
Meng Zhang didn''t expect this alliance to rival the Flying Swan Sect. He simply hoped it could be effective when facing invasions by demonic beasts or simr situations. For example, the alliance members would unite their strengths, follow unifiedmands, and act together. As for Taiyi Sect''s current strength, it was more than enough to form such an alliance. However, Taiyi Sect''s rise had been rtively short, and its influence was still not enough to gain the sincere respect of other factions.
By leveraging the reputation of the Gu Yue Family, the surrounding cultivation forces might regard Taiyi Sect more highly. It would make them believe that Taiyi Sect had a strong backing and powerful external support. However, creating an alliance outside the Flying Swan Sect''s reach was currently impractical.
Meng Zhang had to consider whether the Flying Swan Sect would allow the existence of this alliance and how to handle rtions with them if the alliance were established. These were all crucial matters that required careful handling.
Despite the Flying Swan Sect''s current favorable attitude toward Taiyi Sect, it was mainly because they found Taiyi Sect useful in many ways, and Taiyi Sect did not pose a significant threat to them. If Taiyi Sect continued to grow and became a perceived threat to the Flying Swan Sect, the situation might change rapidly. In the Cultivation World, allegiances and enmities could shift quickly. Today''s friends might be tomorrow''s enemiesit was amon urrence.
By revealing the rtionship between Taiyi Sect and the Gu Yue Family, Meng Zhang also hoped that the Flying Swan Sect would think twice before confronting Taiyi Sect. Great Wind City was primarily focused onmerce and had no ambitions for territorial expansion or aggression against others. Nheless, its strength was formidable enough to crush many nearby cultivation forces. As a result, Taiyi Sect aimed to be on good terms with Great Wind City and its major cultivation families, avoiding unnecessary conflicts.
Meng Zhang returned from Great Wind City and, besides dealing with Taiyi Sect''s affairs, devoted most of his time to cultivation. He had put a lot of effort into refining the two Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects, Sunstone and Moonjade Liquid, he acquired from the Earthfire Sect''s treasure trove.
The Foundation Building cultivators of Taiyi Sect had gone through a fierce battle with the Earthfire Sect and fought against the demonic beast army, leaving most of them severely injured and depleted of their energy. After the war, they spent a considerable amount of time recovering.
Finally, after more than two years in seclusion, Meng Zhang''s senior disciple, Niu Dawei, sessfully emerged from seclusion. Without relying on Foundation Building Pills, Niu Dawei''s strong foundation and excellent aptitude allowed him to reach the Foundation Building stage. He became a Foundation Building cultivator with some achievements, qualifying him to participate in the battles of the Cultivation World.
Niu Dawei''s sessful Foundation Building not only added another Foundation Building expert to Taiyi Sect but also provided Meng Zhang with a reliable sessor. Now, Meng Zhang could proudly dere that he finally had someone to carry on his legacy.
Despite being in his 60s, which was rtively young by Foundation Building cultivators'' standards, Meng Zhang knew that unexpected events could happen in the treacherous Cultivation World. Among the current Foundation Building cultivators in Taiyi Sect, many were talented, but none satisfied Meng Zhang enough to be the ideal sessor for the Sect Master position. Only his personal disciple, Niu Dawei, impressed him in every aspect, making him the most suitable candidate to inherit the position of Taiyi Sect''s Sect Master. Of course, as long as Meng Zhang was still there, Niu Dawei would not ascend to that position. Nevertheless, Meng Zhang could start grooming him for the future.
Before Niu Dawei''s Foundation Building, Meng Zhang hadn''t let him get too involved in the Sect''s affairs, even though he was the senior disciple. Now, with Niu Dawei''s sessful Foundation Building and extended lifespan, he had more time to spend on Sect matters.
Following the usual protocol, Meng Zhang promoted Niu Dawei to the rank of an elder in the Sect and started assigning him various tasks to assist him in managing the Sect''s affairs. Despite his simple and honest appearance, Niu Dawei''s insights were profound, and he quickly became proficient in handling various matters within the Sect. Meng Zhang was pleased with his performance and gradually increased his responsibilities to help with more Sect affairs.
As for Meng Zhang''s own cultivation, he now had more time to focus on refining his two spirit pets, Zhui Dian (Chasing Lightning) and Liu Li (Colored ze). After they had devoured arge number of Third Rank demonic beasts'' flesh and blood during theirst battle, they had entered a period of dormancy.
After more than a year, the two little creatures finally woke up. Upon awakening, they had advanced to the Second Rank, bing formidable Second Rank spirit beasts capable of rivaling ordinary Foundation Building cultivators. Furthermore, they not only improved their existing talents but also gained new ones.
Zhui Dian''s new talent allowed it to emit a special yellow light from its beak, immobilizing enemies and rendering them unable to move. Meng Zhang named this ability "Body Locking Divine Light." On the other hand, Liu Li, in addition to its improved illusionary talents, could now create a clone of itself. When it suffered severe damage, it could let the clone take the hit instead.
Regarding their newly acquired talents, both little creatures needed time to familiarize themselves with and exercise these abilities.
The substantial amount of materials harvested from the numerous demonic beasts'' corpses wasn''t entirely sold by Taiyi Sect. Most of it was stored in the Sect''s treasure trove for internal use. Beast Controlling Hall Master Hu Jing used a considerable amount of the Sect''s contributions to exchange for various materials to support his spirit pets.
Overall, Taiyi Sect had collected a vast array of materials from the abundant demonic beasts they had encountered, and they were taking their time to digest and utilize them.
