Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Meng Zhang began his journey with the Yin Yang Grand Dao, extending it to several other Grand Daos. Apart from the fundamental Yin Yang Grand Dao, he also delved into various other Grand Daos, attempting to draw connections and comprehend more Grand Dao rules. When the state of enlightenment ended, he had gained significant insights.

In that short period of time, his comprehension and gains in the Grand Dao surpassed his cultivation of the past three hundred years. However, this realization is akin to being satisfied after eating the third cake, which doesn't mean that the first and second cakes are no longer needed. Without the accumulation of the past three hundred years, he might not have achieved the current level of understanding and gains.

For a Primordial Spirit stage cultivator, comprehending the Grand Dao of Heaven and Earth is not too difficult and is considered a daily practice. But for a Gold Core stage cultivator, it is extremely challenging to comprehend the Grand Dao of Heaven and Earth unless they experience an enlightenment state like the one he just had, which is a rare opportunity.

Meng Zhang has a faint feeling that the merit he gained from killing Xu Huanshan alongside Xu Mengying this time is quite substantial, surpassing what he obtained when he killed the Demonic Cultivation Ye Feifan in the past. Xu Huanshan was a Primordial Spirit late stage cultivator, and his descent into demonic cultivation was significant for the demonic path. On the other hand, Ye Feifan, despite having extraordinary potential and being recognized by the Demon Domain, was just a Gold Core stage cultivator.

Killing Xu Huanshan holds great significance, making a greater contribution to the Grand Dust World. The impartial and just Grand Dust World Heavenly Dao treats all beings like grass.

The merit Meng Zhang obtained from this enlightenment has already dissipated by half. However, it saved him decades or even hundreds of years, helping him complete his final accumulation and removing the last obstacles on his path to the Primordial Spirit stage.

Meng Zhang has a strong intuition that after returning to Taiyi Sect, he can directly enter closed-door cultivation to break through to the Primordial Spirit stage. Everything is now prepared, only the right opportunity is needed.

Despite feeling a bit impatient, Meng Zhang tries to remain calm and not let himself become too ecstatic. While he was enlightening in the state, Xu Mengying, as a comrade-in-arms in killing Xu Huanshan, seemed to have also gained significant benefits.

Since the mission has been accomplished, Meng Zhang doesn't intend to linger here any longer. He has already received the rewards he deserved. After bidding farewell to Xu Mengying, he flies away directly.

Meng Zhang returns to the top of the abyss, retraces his steps out of the mountain's interior, and flies back into the sky outside. With rapid flight, he returns to Maple Leaf Mountain City in much less time than it took him to reach there.

Everything in Maple Leaf Mountain City remains as usual, without any unexpected occurrences. Seeing Sect Master Meng Zhang return, the disciples stationed there actively welcome him and inform him that disciples from Hundred Grass Slope urgently seek him, as something significant seems to have happened there.

Meng Zhang wastes no time and rushes back to Taiyi Sect's mountain gate, Hundred Grass Slope. Shortly after returning, he sees Shocking Thunder Spirit General, who is covered in scars, missing half an arm on the upper body, and floating in the air with no legs visible. This appearance of Shocking Thunder Spirit General gives rise to an ominous feeling in Meng Zhang's heart.

Indeed, Shocking Thunder Spirit General brought a piece of extremely bad news, one might even call it a calamity. Taiyi Sect has been conscripted in large numbers to participate in the war at the Yuan Tu Great Prairie. However, due to the protection of Jin Li True Monarch, most of the participating cultivators were not directly engaged in frontline combat; instead, they were assigned to handle logistics, supply distribution, and other tasks in the rear. Although these logistical duties were arduous, they did not carry significant danger.

As the conflict intensified, Taiyi Sect was summoned to send more and more cultivators to the Yuan Tu Great Prairie. In charge of coordinating the Taiyi Sect cultivators on the frontline was Meng Zhang's senior disciple, Niu Dawei. To cope with the increasingly strict conscription of the Jiuqu League, Niu Dawei had to send several recently promoted Gold Core cultivators from the sect to the Yuan Tu Great Prairie. These new Gold Core cultivators, although limited in combat strength, were assigned to work in the rear and should have been relatively safe.

Unexpectedly, the extraterritorial Barbarian Clan, which had been retreating and losing ground, launched a desperate counterattack just when Jiuqu League seemed to have gained a significant advantage. Their target was the logistics hub of the Jiuqu League, Dongyuan City, where Meng Zhang had previously been. Several Barbarian Kings personally led the assault, and despite Dongyuan City's determined resistance, it inevitably fell.

The two Human Clan Primordial Spirit True Monarchs who guarded Dongyuan City lost one life and suffered severe injuries, and the casualties among the Gold Core Daoist Masters were heavy. Numerous other cultivators also suffered losses. Taiyi Sect cultivators responsible for logistics and transportation in Dongyuan City faced similarly grim fates. Two newly promoted Gold Core cultivators, Luo Sanping and Deng Sha, died in battle, and almost all the other Gold Core Daoist Masters were severely injured.

Even Shocking Thunder Spirit General, who appeared to be in a pitiable state, was considered fortunate. After all, as a Guardian Spirit General, he is a special kind of dao soldier and not a purely human cultivator. With sufficient Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects, his body's injuries can gradually be healed through refinement.

One of the fiercely combative and veteran Gold Core Daoist Masters in Taiyi Sect, Zheng Chao, suffered critical injuries and was on the brink of death. If not for the timely return of Jin Li True Monarch, who expended great effort to heal him, his life might not have been spared. However, even with the treatment, Zheng Chao would require a very long time to completely recover and would likely have significant lingering effects. His Cultivation Base would be unable to advance any further in the future.

Another highly skilled Gold Core Daoist Master in beast-taming techniques in Taiyi Sect, Hu Jing, lost all three Third Rank natal spirit beasts in battle and was severely injured, her foundation shaken, and her Cultivation Base compromised.

The other Taiyi Sect Gold Core cultivators in Dongyuan City fared somewhat better, but the situation was still far from optimistic. After Jin Li True Monarch stabilized their severely injured bodies, they were promptly sent back to Taiyi Sect. As for the Foundation Building stage cultivators dispatched by Taiyi Sect, their casualties were nearly total, with only a few survivors.

Meng Zhang, who had just achieved a significant breakthrough in his Cultivation Base and was on the brink of reaching the Primordial Spirit stage, had barely enjoyed his good mood when he received this calamitous news. He was nearly overwhelmed with anger.

After calming down with great difficulty, Meng Zhang realized that this was not the time to investigate other matters. The urgent task was to bring back the severely injured Taiyi Sect disciples and treat their wounds with all available resources.
