Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 442: Opening (First Part)

After Meng Zhang left, Deep EarthSpirit General fulfilled the promise made to Meng Zhang and informed Shocking ThunderSpirit General and Delicate WaterSpirit General about it. Neither of them had any objections. Even Delicate WaterSpirit General, who appeared to be quite unfriendly towards Meng Zhang, didn't say much.

Ever since Meng Zhang formed the Gold Core, he had been gaining the approval of the Guardian Spirit Generals. Especially Deep EarthSpirit General, who was the first to awaken and had spent many years in Taiyi Sect, understood Meng Zhang very well. He believed that despite some flaws, Meng Zhang was now fully qualified to be the Sect Master. His personal aptitude and ability to manage the sect were outstanding, and his loyalty to the sect was commendable.

If Meng Zhang could successfully return from the small world of Purple Gold Sect, it would demonstrate his survival ability. Only after passing this test would he be eligible to learn Taiyi Sect's greatest secret. In fact, after Deep EarthSpirit General's Cultivation Base recovered to the Foundation Building stage, most of his memories had already returned.

With the awakening of Shocking ThunderSpirit General and the continuous recovery of Deep EarthSpirit General's Cultivation Base, now Delicate WaterSpirit General had also awakened. The three Guardian Spirit Generals helped each other, awakening all of their memories and recalling those tremendous secrets.

Perhaps the next time they met Meng Zhang, they would reveal these secrets to him.

After this small incident, Meng Zhang primarily focused on enhancing his combat power. Gu Yue Huaidie and Luo Ye, the Daoist Master leading a large group of Taiyi Sect disciples, spent nearly three years wandering the Endless Sea of Sand, activating almost all the nodes of the Great Void Restriction.

With these nodes activated, the Great Void Restriction began to slowly operate. Various anomalies started occurring in different places within the Endless Sea of Sand. Thunderstorms and earthquakes filled the sky and the ground, and some long-drought areas surprisingly experienced heavy downpours.

Seeing these anomalies, everyone knew that the time was ripe to proceed to the next step.

In these three years, the many Refining Qi stage cultivators recruited by Taiyi Sect and Flying Swan Sect, along with the Refining Qi stage disciples from both sects, underwent various special trainings to face the crises within the Mirage Secret Realm.

Although Flying Swan Sect couldn't completely master the Mirage Secret Realm, they had led explorations inside it every few hundred years, accumulating valuable information about the realm over time.

In fact, for hundreds of years, any cultivation force within the Endless Sea of Sand that had some history had sent disciples to enter the Mirage Secret Realm, gaining information from their predecessors.

Under the strong demand of Jin LiDaoist Master, including Flying Swan Sect, all cultivation forces openly shared this information with Taiyi Sect to ensure a smooth operation in the Mirage Secret Realm, which was crucial to opening the small world of Purple Gold Sect. Jin LiDaoist Master was determined to ensure that everything went smoothly.

However, whether Flying Swan Sect was hiding any secrets remained unknown.

After targeted special training, the survival abilities of all Refining Qi stage cultivators within the Mirage Secret Realm had greatly improved.

Now was the time to utilize these people, as they say, "Raise an army for a thousand days, use it for an hour."

Jin LiDaoist Master, Meng Zhang, Gu Yue Huaidie, and Luo Ye, along with the Refining Qi stage cultivators from Taiyi Sect, boarded the flying boat and headed towards the Mirage Desert.

Before reaching the Mirage Desert, the flying boat came to a stop. This time, the Mirage Secret Realm, which would usually open every hundred years or so due to the activation of the Great Void Restriction's nodes, had opened early.

Within the Mirage Desert, various illusions had already begun to appear. It wasn't long before the flying boat teams from both Taiyi Sect and Flying Swan Sect arrived here and joined forces. Leading the team from Flying Swan Sect were Daoist Masters Fei Yu and Fei Jiang. After years of recuperation, especially with the help of Jin LiDaoist Master, Fei JiangDaoist Master had almost completely recovered from his injuries and regained full combat strength. Fei YuDaoist Master and Fei JiangDaoist Master flew over to greet Jin LiDaoist Master, and after some friendly exchanges between the Gold Core Daoist Masters, they began to follow the pre-established plan.

Due to the restrictions left by the Purple Gold Sect's Primordial Spirit True Monarch, the Gold Core Daoist Masters didn't dare to enter the Mirage Desert directly. From a distance, they could see various illusions within the Mirage Desert and knew that they couldn't waste any time. So, the Gold Core Daoist Masters gave their final instructions to several leading Refining Qi stage disciples and let them begin their actions.

Fei YuDaoist Master emphasized that this time the Mirage Secret Realm had opened prematurely because the time had not yet arrived. The various spirit medicines planted by Flying Swan Sect inside were still far from maturity. Therefore, any cultivators entering the realm must not recklessly squander the not-yet-fully-prepared spirit medicines.

The Refining Qi stage disciples from both sects then headed towards the Mirage Desert. Worth mentioning among the Refining Qi stage disciples of Taiyi Sect were An Xiaoran and An Moran, two direct disciples of Meng Zhang. Delicate WaterSpirit General, formerly the Guardian Spirit General of Taiyi Sect, possessed a Gold Core stage Cultivation Base during her peak period. Although she now had only a Refining Qi stage Cultivation Base, her combat strength was far from comparable to an ordinary Refining Qi stage cultivator.

After An Xiaoran mastered the advanced technique "Fusang Sutra," her true qi underwent a complete transformation, greatly enhancing her combat strength. Similarly, An Moran had also reached the completion stage of the Refining Qi stage, and both of them were originally supposed to prepare for breaking through to the Foundation Building stage. However, they took the initiative to request Meng Zhang's permission to enter the Mirage Secret Realm. Cultivators were not delicate flowers sheltered in a greenhouse; they needed to experience the various trials and tribulations of the Cultivation World. Meng Zhang couldn't keep them in the sect forever, as they would sooner or later face different tests. Moreover, this time entering the Mirage Secret Realm indeed required powerful Refining Qi stage cultivators.

After some consideration, Meng Zhang agreed to their request, letting the two of them lead the team of cultivators and enter the Mirage Secret Realm. As the Sect Master's direct disciples, they had several life-saving cards up their sleeves. They possessed Second Rank talismans personally refined by Yang Xueyi, Second Rank puppets purchased by Meng Zhang from the Clever Machine Sect, and the heavenly thunder disciples refined by Shocking ThunderSpirit General...

In fact, all Refining Qi stage cultivators entering the Mirage Secret Realm this time carried various life-saving cards. In these years, the Talisman Hall and Pill Hall of Taiyi Sect, from Hall Master Yang Xueyi to Hall Master Zhang Yingying and all the others, had been extremely busy refining various items for these Refining Qi stage cultivators. Taiyi Sect's merchant teams had repeatedly gone to Great Wind City to purchase various items that could enhance the combat power of Refining Qi stage cultivators. The situation in Flying Swan Sect was also quite similar. It could be said that both sects had done everything within their power.

As for whether they would succeed this time, that was something they could only leave to fate.
