Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 591: Goes for 9 days

Meng Zhang followed behind Jin LiTrue Monarch, soaring into the sky and flying directly towards the high altitude. It has been twenty-three years since Demon Wind Gobi restored peace. During these years, Jin LiTrue Monarch had not encountered any external disturbances and had been cultivating in seclusion in the small world of Purple Gold Sect.

Having mastered the general methods of Primordial SpiritTrue Monarch, she also wielded the Fourth Rank magic tool, the Yellow Sand Ten Thousand Li Chart, making her combat prowess not weaker than an average Primordial Spirit early-stage cultivator. With the outside world in peace, Taiyi Sect had been prospering and developing exceptionally well.

As the Sect Master, Meng Zhang also had sufficient time to focus on his own cultivation. Having broken through to the Gold Corelate stage, he was now qualified to ascend to the Nine Heavens and collect the Nine Heavens Refined Essence.

For Gold Corelate stage cultivators, especially those with ambitions to advance to the Primordial Spirit realm, the Nine Heavens Refined Essence was an essential spiritual item. Apart from containing extremely pure spiritual energy, it also held mysterious and extraordinary components.

After absorbing the Nine Heavens Refined Essence, a Gold Corelate stage cultivator could not only fulfill their daily cultivation needs but also strengthen their essence, energy, and spirit. They might even sense a trace of the lingering Grand Dao essence within, laying a solid foundation for future breakthroughs to the Primordial Spirit realm.

Since breaking through to the Gold Corelate stage, Meng Zhang had already digested the inheritance obtained from the heritage site. To progress further, he needed to acquire more of Taiyi Sect's inheritances.

On several occasions, he had obtained numerous inheritance books from Purple Gold Sect and Layered Mystery Sect. While these could serve as references, they were not directly usable for cultivation.

At this point, Meng Zhang began to feel the inconvenience of lacking suitable inheritances. Not to mention, he knew that a Gold Corelate stage cultivator needed to go to the Nine Heavens to collect the Nine Heavens Refined Essence for cultivation purposes. However, he had no knowledge of the specific process.

The most senior Extreme Sword Spirit General in the sect, before becoming the Guardian Spirit General, was a master who was close to completing the Gold Core stage and had experience going to the Nine Heavens. Shortly after Meng Zhang broke through to the Gold Corelate stage, he proactively sought advice from the General and learned the method of collecting the Nine Heavens Refined Essence, gaining valuable insights.

However, the Extreme Sword Spirit General warned Meng Zhang that the Nine Heavens was not a smooth path; it was filled with numerous dangers. Even a Gold Core Daoist Master could suffer greatly if they were not careful, let alone an average Primordial SpiritTrue Monarch.

For a Gold Core Daoist Master's first journey to the Nine Heavens, it was best to have experienced seniors from the sect accompanying them to provide assistance whenever needed. After all, true understanding comes from personal experience, and hearing about experiences and lessons from others cannot replace firsthand experience.

Meng Zhang kept the advice of Extreme Sword Spirit General in mind, knowing that he was an experienced senior who wouldn't deceive him without reason. However, the highest cultivation base in Taiyi Sect at present was Meng Zhang himself, and Extreme Sword Spirit General hadn't even restored his Gold Core cultivation base, so he couldn't provide much help.

Meng Zhang waited for several years until Jin LiTrue Monarch emerged from seclusion. According to the agreement between Jin LiTrue Monarch and True Monarch Azure Mist, after she emerged from seclusion, True Monarch Azure Mist would arrange everything and hold a grand ceremony to welcome her into the Jiuqu League.

Jin LiTrue Monarch sent a message to Great Wind City, notifying True Monarch Azure Mist. Soon, True Monarch Azure Mist replied, saying that organizing such a grand ceremony required substantial work and couldn't be completed in a short time. Especially when notifying various Primordial SpiritTrue Monarchs scattered in different places, it would take considerable time.

Around the middle of next year, all the preparations for the grand ceremony are expected to be completed. At that time, they will send people to notify Jin LiTrue Monarch in advance.

It's only the beginning of the year now, and there is still about a year and a half before the ceremony takes place.

After coming out of seclusion, Jin LiTrue Monarch had rare leisure time and plenty of free time. She first called Jin Qiao'er to her side and gave her guidance on cultivation.

Then, she took a stroll to the Deadly Sea of Sand and retrieved the legacy left by True Monarch Tian Zhu. Before sacrificing himself alongside the Fifth Rank Earth Spirit, True Monarch Tian Zhu entrusted his postmortem affairs to Jin LiTrue Monarch and handed over some of his legacy to her for disposal.

Having inherited True Monarch Tian Zhu's legacy, Jin LiTrue Monarch, though newly promoted to Primordial Spirit, now possessed many powerful methods. Among the Primordial SpiritTrue Monarchs, she was no longer considered weak.

After handling these matters, Meng Zhang noticed that Jin LiTrue Monarch was in a good mood, so he boldly approached her and made a request. He wanted her to take him to the Nine Heavens to gain some experience.

Jin LiTrue Monarch had already intended to help Meng Zhang, and with Jin Qiao'er's support, she agreed to his request. For her, who had been to the Nine Heavens multiple times during the Gold Corelate stage, it wasn't a difficult task.

Interestingly, Jin LiTrue Monarch had not been to the Nine Heavens since achieving Primordial Spirit cultivation. She had selected a date, and together with Meng Zhang, they set off.

Flying straight up, whether using a flying magic tool or regular cultivation flying, cultivators generally didn't go higher than a thousand zhang (about 3,000 meters) in the Cultivation World. The higher one flew, the higher the demands on their Cultivation Base.

At over three thousand zhang, the astral winds became fierce, even a Gold Core Daoist Master needed to allocate some strength to defend against the astral winds.

Jin LiTrue Monarch continued to fly higher with Meng Zhang, never stopping until they reached ten thousand zhang (about 30,000 meters).

At this altitude, the formidable astral winds were like unstoppable sharp blades that could easily shred any cultivator with a cultivation base less than Gold Core.

Jin LiTrue Monarch seemed unbothered by the intense astral winds and kept ascending, while Meng Zhang had to allocate some strength to withstand the relentless force of the astral winds.

After flying for a long distance, Meng Zhang started to feel a bit strained. At this moment, Jin LiTrue Monarch pointed to the grayish area above their heads and said, "We are almost there; that is the legendary Nine Heavens."

Meng Zhang had already learned from various scriptures that the so-called Nine Heavens did not actually mean nine layers of heaven but referred to a special region at the world's highest level.

This vast and boundless region had numerous layers, making the situation inside it incredibly complex. The number nine represented the extreme, illustrating the multitude of levels within the Nine Heavens.

Seeing that they were about to enter the Nine Heavens, Jin LiTrue Monarch, who had been nonchalant before, now became serious. In the past, her master had taken her into the Nine Heavens, and after arriving in the Deadly Sea of Sand, she had ventured in and out multiple times alone. However, every time she entered the Nine Heavens, she never dared to be the slightest bit careless.

A Gold Corelate stage cultivation base was insufficient in the Nine Heavens. It was a place filled with too many dangers, and countless cultivators had been buried there.

Even after breaking through to the Primordial Spirit stage, the lessons and personal experiences of previous cultivators had taught Jin LiTrue Monarch that the Nine Heavens was not a place where Primordial Spirit cultivators could act recklessly.

Before setting off, Jin LiTrue Monarch had already given the necessary instructions. She didn't waste any words now and, with Meng Zhang in tow, shot upward, diving directly into the Nine Heavens.
