Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Taiyi Sect hasn't been able to accumulate vast resources, and there is an important reason for this, which is Meng Zhang's attitude problem. Meng Zhang is not a miser, nor does he have the attributes of a hoarder. The current Taiyi Sect is rapidly developing, but it has not yet reached the time to plan for the future and enhance the accumulation of the sect. Instead of letting various cultivation resources rot away in the storage, it's better to provide them to the disciples to cultivate more outstanding individuals. If it weren't for considering the future of the sect, Meng Zhang would have wanted to distribute all the cultivation resources to the disciples to help them digest quickly. Especially resources like spiritual stones, they need to be invested to generate more wealth and earn more spiritual stones.

Since Taiyi Sect joined the Jiuqu League, the trading environment has been improving. Under Meng Zhang's guidance, the entire sect has invested a significant amount of resources to build a commercial network. The vast market of the Jiuqu League, as long as they penetrate it and establish a foothold, even if there are no immediate returns and continuous losses, there will come a day when they can reap massive profits.

Meng Zhang and the other three people didn't utter a word, but they hastened to collect various resources from the treasure vault. With so many things, the storage magic tools they carried could only take a small portion of them. Therefore, they had to choose carefully and take the most valuable items with them.

After a while, the storage magic tools of the four were nearly full. Suddenly, Meng Zhang felt something and said, "It's about time; if we don't leave now, we won't be able to get out." As Meng Zhang had enough authority, the other three trusted his judgment. If he said it was time to leave, they naturally couldn't stay here any longer. They didn't bother with the scattered cultivation resources on the ground and left directly.

Meng Zhang took out a jade token, recited an incantation, and escorted everyone outside of space. As they looked at the slowly closing spatial portal, Meng Zhang and Extreme Sword Spirit General exchanged glances and almost simultaneously took action.

Meng Zhang first threw the jade token, followed the connection between the space and the token, and activated the Deception Breaking Eye to accurately locate the weakest point in the independent space. The Spiritsnake Spear shot out like lightning, repeatedly damaging the foundation of the space. Extreme Sword Spirit General's index and middle fingers merged in his right hand, and he shot out more than ten extremely sharp sword qi, easily piercing through the spatial barrier, riddling the independent space with holes.

Finally, Meng Zhang gently tossed two thunderballs from Jin Li True Monarch into the closing spatial portal. After two muffled sounds, the foundation of the independent space was completely destroyed. The space that could have held for ten to thirty years collapsed rapidly, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Meng Zhang didn't care about that independent space anymore; he led everyone along the underground river downstream. Along the way, he summoned ten Yellow Earth Strongmen. These Second Rank Yellow Earth Strongmen not only had the combat power of the Foundation Building stage but were also proficient in earth-based spells. They were carefully selected from the dao soldiers trained by Soldier Nest before Meng Zhang left Taiyi Sect.

Although peace had been restored around Taiyi Sect, many disciples in the sect had experienced the benefits of using Yellow Earth Strongmen during the war. Even after the war, many disciples still clamored to exchange for Yellow Earth Strongmen, despite the increased threshold set by the sect. Meng Zhang made arrangements so that not all Yellow Earth Strongmen could be exchanged; Soldier Nest had to accumulate a batch of Yellow Earth Strongmen for future use.

Meng Zhang released ten Second Rank Earth Escape Spell talismans to empower the Yellow Earth Strongmen. These talismans, combined with the natural proficiency of Yellow Earth Strongmen in earth-based spells, made them feel like fish in water while moving through the earth.

Following Meng Zhang's instructions, the Yellow Earth Strongmen dispersed in various directions, moving through the earth. As Meng Zhang led the group, they flew low over the ground, avoiding the paths the Yellow Earth Strongmen were taking.

When they reached the surface, the Yellow Earth Strongmen, who had been traveling in different directions, triggered the totem poles' alarms, alerting the nearby Barbarian Clan camp. The Barbarian Clan displayed their high military quality, as the internal turmoil did not lead to widespread chaos. Well-trained groups of Barbarian Clan soldiers began searching systematically along different routes.

Meng Zhang summoned ten more Second Rank Yellow Earth Strongmen. This time, he emptied all the remaining inventory of the sect. He took out three Third Rank talismans, specifically the Dust Escape talismans crafted by Yang Xueyi, a Third Rank Talisman Master in Taiyi Sect.

Although Taiyi Sect had Yang Xueyi as a Third Rank Talisman Master, ensuring the supply of Third Rank talismans, they were still precious and not to be used lightly. The materials needed to craft Third Rank talismans were valuable, not to mention the time and effort required from Yang Xueyi. As a Gold Core Daoist Master and an elder of Taiyi Sect, she couldn't spend too much time making talismans.

With the help of everyone, Meng Zhang quickly activated the three Dust Escape talismans. Three groups of rapidly rotating sand and dust appeared in the air, carrying several Yellow Earth Strongmen each and sweeping towards the distance.

The Second Rank Yellow Earth Strongmen that were not caught in the sand and dust escaped in different directions. Meng Zhang led everyone to fly low along the ground, moving away from Lake-Blue City. Along the way, whenever they encountered Barbarian Clan troops, they didn't engage in lengthy battles but swiftly dealt with them to create a path and escape.

All four of them were experts among Gold Core cultivators. Meng Zhang was at the Gold Core late stage, Extreme Sword Spirit General was a formidable Sword Cultivator, Luo Ye Daoist Master had various techniques, and Jue Ying Daoist Master constantly displayed his killing moves. Their team's combat strength was incredibly strong, and even the long-established Gold Core sects in the Jiuqu League might not be able to assemble such a formidable group.

As they were escaping, a terrifying aura rose from Lake-Blue City. Lake-Blue City was a prosperous place on Yuan Tu Great Prairie, ruled by the intelligent Barbarian King, Sha Le Hai. Not long ago, he was receiving three Demonic Cultivators in the city. In the vast multiverse, Demonic Cultivation was infamous and despised by all. Even the aggressive and warlike Barbarian Clan, who invaded and conquered, also detested Demonic Cultivation. However, this Barbarian Clan army had entered the Grand Dust World and found itself surrounded and besieged on all sides, facing a dire situation. In such circumstances, any force that could provide assistance was highly valuable.

Demonic Cultivation is a common enemy in various worlds, except for the Demon Domain, where everyone regards them as villains and calls for their downfall. In a situation similar to the Barbarian Clan, some Demonic Cultivators actively seek communication and cooperation with the Barbarian Clan, offering assistance. Even someone as rational and composed as Barbarian King Sha Le Hai can suppress his hatred for Demonic Cultivation and temporarily collaborate with them.

Of course, Demonic Cultivators are not benevolent. The help they provide comes at a cost that the Barbarian Clan must pay. Over the centuries, after several transactions, the two sides established a relatively stable channel of communication.

The Demonic Cultivation that came to Lake-Blue City was a familiar acquaintance of Barbarian King Sha Le Hai. Although the opponent was only a Gold Core Demonic Cultivator, Sha Le Hai still treated him with great importance and personally received him, a gesture of the highest level of respect.

After their meeting, the Demonic Cultivator proposed to learn and witness the Divine Ability secret techniques of the Barbarian Clan. When it comes to combat, no Barbarian Clan would refuse. To save face, Sha Le Hai decided to suppress a large part of his Cultivation Base and only fight with one hand against the Demonic Cultivator, despite the difference in their realms.

The Demonic Cultivator's methods were indeed peculiar. Despite the difference in their Cultivation Base realms, Sha Le Hai was still somewhat impressed by the Demonic Cultivator's Divine Ability.

During the battle, Meng Zhang and his group were escaping, and when Sha Le Hai sensed the spatial fluctuations, Meng Zhang and the others had already begun their escape. This caused some chaos in Lake-Blue City's vicinity, especially as the spatial fluctuations from afar grew increasingly intense.

Sha Le Hai was not someone who valued his pride more than anything else. In his eyes, substance was more important than face. He released a powerful aura, attempting to deter the hidden enemies.

While his subordinates dealt with the chaos, Sha Le Hai made a decision. He chose to stay and stabilize the collapsing independent space, rather than going after the intruders outside. The wealth within the treasury could be of use to the Barbarian Clan, which often suffered from shortages despite the rich resources of the Yuan Tu Great Prairie. If the space completely collapsed, the resources inside would be buried in the turbulent flow, making it difficult even for the Barbarian King to retrieve them.

Meanwhile, on the ground, Meng Zhang took out various prepared items, and Luo Ye Daoist Master and Jue Ying Daoist Master also used their hidden cards to help them escape. The Four of them managed to flee Lake-Blue City and avoided the Barbarian Clan's pursuit only after taking a long and winding route.

At this point, Meng Zhang was supposed to bring the bead back to Daoist Master Black Fox as per their agreement. However, Meng Zhang had already obtained many high-quality Void Nether Stones from the treasury, and Luo Ye Daoist Master had taken the bead. So, Meng Zhang decided to disregard Daoist Master Black Fox's orders and directly return to Taiyi Sect.

Luo Ye Daoist Master intervened, preventing Meng Zhang from acting rashly and insisting that he should follow the original plan and still meet with Daoist Master Black Fox.
