Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 437: One Disappears Another Grows

Meng Zhang was well aware of the outcome of the turmoil in the Endless Sea of Sand.

After years of intense battles, a victor finally emerged. The Flying Swan Sect became the new ruler of the Endless Sea of Sand, while the Qi Family was suppressed in the Northern Desert and unable to move. The Fire Cloud Sect and the Yellow Lotus Sect East River Branch were directly expelled from the Endless Sea of Sand.

Of course, the success of the Flying Swan Sect in achieving this outcome was due in no small part to the covert support of True Monarch Tian Zhu.

Subsequently, driven by their refusal to accept their past failures and their desire to seize the inheritance of the Purple Gold Sect, the Fire Cloud Sect, under the secret support of True Monarch Profound Wind, made multiple invasions into the Endless Sea of Sand, only to be repelled by the Flying Swan Sect.

It was not until the major defeat 300-400 years ago that the Fire Cloud Sect's Elder Yun Yan was forced to make a ghost oath, bringing a temporary halt to the sect's activities.

Perhaps Jin Qiao'er had spoken highly of Meng Zhang in front of Jin LiDaoist Master, as the latter revealed many unknown details to Meng Zhang.

In order to completely defeat the Fifth Rank great power and prevent a mutually assured destruction, True Monarch Tian Zhu employed a Dao Technique called "One Disappears Another Grows."

The Fifth Rank great power willingly endured this Dao Technique, hoping to determine the victor through a series of gambling matches rather than a single battle.

A Dao Technique is a special technique that can only be performed by a Primordial Spirit True Monarch or higher, allowing them to harness the power of the Grand Dao.

Through the "One Disappears Another Grows" Dao Technique, True Monarch Tian Zhu, as the caster, and the Fifth Rank great power, as the recipient, were forcibly connected by the power of the Grand Dao.

They did not determine their strengths and weaknesses through a single battle, but through a series of gambling matches of varying scales and forms, deciding the ebb and flow of their powers.

True Monarch Tian Zhu and the Fifth Rank great power engaged in numerous gambling matches, with each victory influencing the balance of power between them.

To facilitate these matches, both parties established numerous rules, including the peculiar rules within the Deadly Sea of Sand.

At first glance, each gambling match appeared to be fair, offering both sides an opportunity to win.

Many significant events and the shifting dynamics of the Endless Sea of Sand over the past few hundred years were intertwined with these gambling matches.

For instance, when Guang ZhiDaoist Master of the Forest Spring Watch was young, he entered the Deadly Sea of Sand and caught the attention of the Fifth Rank great power, who supported him as their pawn.

Through Guang ZhiDaoist Master, True Monarch Tian Zhu and the Fifth Rank great power engaged in many gambling matches.

Whether Guang ZhiDaoist Master could successfully form the core and whether the Forest Spring Watch could withstand the pressure from the Flying Swan Sect... Meng Zhang had either heard of or personally experienced these matters.

The constraints, such as the Flying Swan Sect's inability to personally intervene, stemmed from the crucial gambling match that led to the destruction of the Forest Spring Watch orchestrated by the Taiyi Sect and other sects.

As a Diviner, Meng Zhang's involvement caused an unexpected turn of events, leading to True Monarch Tian Zhu's victory.

When Meng Zhang heard Jin LiDaoist Master speak of these matters, a strange feeling arose within them.

A battle that determined the life and death of countless individuals and the fate of several sects was, in the eyes of true experts, nothing more than a series of gambling matches.

With each successive victory under the "One Disappears Another Grows" technique, True Monarch Tian Zhu's advantage over the Fifth Rank great power grew.

When this advantage reached a certain level, True Monarch Tian Zhu would achieve victory without even fighting, securing the final triumph.

However, as True Monarch Tian Zhu gained more and more advantage, he also became increasingly entangled and found it harder to divert his attention from the struggle against the Fifth Rank great power.

True Monarch Profound Wind of the Jiuqu League, also a loose cultivator, became embroiled in this conflict without the support of other Primordial Spirit True Monarchs in the Jiuqu League, rendering him unable to utilize the full power of the league.He doesn't have many pawns at his disposal, and the Fire Cloud Sect is the most important one. Originally, the Yellow Lotus Sect East River Branch sought to curry favor with him and was willing to follow his orders. However, due to some incidents, the Yellow Lotus Sect East River Branch became less obedient. Qi Mingyun True Monarch of the Qi Family had long been involved in the situation.

When dealing with the Fifth Rank great power, the three Primordial Spirit True Monarchs had some unspoken understanding, but they also engaged in countless hidden struggles against each other. With True Monarch Tian Zhu's strength, even if Qi Mingyun True Monarch and True Monarch Profound Wind joined forces, they would never dare to oppose him.

However, True Monarch Tian Zhu was too occupied to spare any attention to deal with Qi Mingyun True Monarch and True Monarch Profound Wind. Of course, Qi Mingyun True Monarch and True Monarch Profound Wind also dared not push True Monarch Tian Zhu too hard. If True Monarch Tian Zhu were pushed to the limit, he might have some killer moves that could pose a fatal threat to the two Primordial Spirit True Monarchs. After all, True Monarch Tian Zhu had a formidable reputation and immense Divine Abilities. Who knew what hidden cards he still held?

Thus, under mutual concerns, the three Primordial Spirit True Monarchs reached certain agreements to avoid direct conflicts among themselves. The Flying Swan Sect, the Northern Desert Qi Family, and the Fire Cloud Sect became their respective proxies, and a proxy war ensued.

As for Jin LiDaoist Master, she claimed to be a junior of True Monarch Tian Zhu and had been serving him faithfully in recent years. Jin LiDaoist Master did not hide the connection between her and the Qiaoshou Sect but openly spoke about it.

The surname "Jin" was quite common within the Qiaoshou Sect, whether among cultivators or ordinary people. Jin LiDaoist Master herself came from an ordinary family under the jurisdiction of the Qiaoshou Sect. When Jin LiDaoist Master's master visited the Endless Sea of Sand to visit his old friend, True Monarch Tian Zhu, he happened to encounter Jin LiDaoist Master, who had recently awakened her spiritual roots.

Jin LiDaoist Master's master saw her potential and took her away from the Endless Sea of Sand. Jin LiDaoist Master cultivated outside for many years, progressing from Refining Qi to Foundation Building and eventually forming the core, achieving some level of accomplishment.

Over a hundred years ago, Jin LiDaoist Master returned to the Endless Sea of Sand and served under True Monarch Tian Zhu. Due to their past relationship, Jin LiDaoist Master also showed some consideration for the Qiaoshou Sect. Especially after discovering Jin Qiao'er, out of affection for her talent, Jin LiDaoist Master took her as a personal disciple. Since then, her relationship with the Qiaoshou Sect became even closer.

The Flying Swan Sect was aware of Jin LiDaoist Master's connection to the Qiaoshou Sect and held a high regard for them. Despite having Jin LiDaoist Master as a strong supporter, the Qiaoshou Sect remained low-key and did not seek to dominate others.

As for Jin LiDaoist Master herself, with a Gold Core late-stage cultivation base, there were few people who could restrain her except for Primordial Spirit True Monarchs. Therefore, Qi Mingyun True Monarch and True Monarch Profound Wind specifically reached an agreement with True Monarch Tian Zhu, forbidding Jin LiDaoist Master from acting recklessly in the Endless Sea of Sand.

Actions like trapping the Fire Cloud Sect's cultivator army with the Yellow Sand Ten Thousand Li Chart, which skirted the boundaries, were deemed unacceptable. If she continued to be uncooperative, she would likely face punishment from the Primordial Spirit True Monarchs.

Jin LiDaoist Master also made it clear to Meng Zhang that due to her inability to personally intervene, her ability to influence the situation in the Endless Sea of Sand was very limited.
