Chapter 1280 Arrival(1/2)
Meng Zhangfei was high in the sky, watching the bustling crowd below slowly dispersing. Visitors from all walks of life began to return.
An Moran and Wei Wuxia achieved Yuan Shen status. After consolidating their cultivation a little, they held the Yuan Shen Ceremony together.
The scale of the Yuan Shen Ceremony held by Taiyi Sect this time was unprecedentedly large.
Of course, celebrating two True Lords of the Soul at the same time is a very rare scene in Jiuqu Province.
All the major cultivation forces in Jiuqu Province sent representatives, and most of the well-known monks from all sides came in person. Even Governor Zhang Weineng, who was very wary of Taiyi Sect, sent a special envoy to congratulate Taiyi Sect on his behalf for having more children.
Two True Lords of the Soul.
As for the members of the Hanhai Dao Alliance, they did not dare to show any slights.
A lively and grand celebration slowly came to an end under the envious eyes of everyone.
After the celebration, Meng Zhang flew high into the sky alone and quietly looked around the Taiyi Gate.
To say that he has no self-satisfaction in his heart would be a lie.
The sect was so weak and in decline that it didn't even have a foundation-building monk. It relied entirely on a few young monks in the Qi refining stage to support its appearance.
Under his leadership, in less than a thousand years, but in just a few hundred years, Taiyi Sect has become a major Yuanshen sect, and it can barely rank among the many major Yuanshen sects in the world of cultivation.
.
If the Taiyi Sect had the strength it has today during the Jiuqu League era, it would be enough to compete with Qingyuan Sect and Yujian Sect for the dominance of the Jiuqu League.
At the very least, it will turn the two giants of the Jiuqu League into three giants.
Meng Zhang didn't know how grand Taiyi Sect was in its heyday. But in his opinion, the current Taiyi Sect, no matter what aspect, is far from its heyday.
Perhaps, with a few more years of development, Taiyi Sect can slowly catch up with its heyday and regain its former glory.
When he was proud, Meng Zhang rarely relaxed and started chatting with Xukongzi, the weapon spirit of the Void Cauldron.
Xukongzi did not take the initiative to talk to Meng Zhang at first, but after he took the initiative to remind Meng Zhang about the time in the small world of the Goddess, Meng Zhang would also talk to Xukongzi from time to time.
He has a lot of fourth-level magic weapons on his body, but these weapon spirits are still relatively ignorant. Even the most mature weapon spirit of the colorful rays of light is still a little girl at heart, and they really have nothing in common with him.
On the contrary, Xu Kongzi, a senior, has rich experience and is well-informed. When talking with him, a few casual words often give Meng Zhang a lot of inspiration.
Meng Zhang was so happy that he couldn't help but show off in front of Xu Kongzi.
Mainly to show off his great achievements and the glorious appearance of Taiyi Sect today.
After hearing Meng Zhang's words, Xu Kongzi did not refute directly, but asked coldly.
Does the current Taiyi Sect have the ability to place treasures in the Thousand Needles Stone Forest in the underworld? Does it have the ability to penetrate into the void outside the territory and bury treasures in the void outside the territory?
Xu Kongzi's words were like pouring cold water on Meng Zhang, leaving him speechless for a moment.
He was a little proud just now, but his complacency was gone.
At the same time, Xu Kongzi's words gave him a wake-up call.
The truly powerful Yuanshen Sect in the world of cultivation, in addition to actively exploring the underworld, will also organize exploration of the void outside the territory.
Taiyimen now has the chess piece Taimiao in the underworld, which is enough to carry out various layouts.
However, Taiyi Sect's exploration of the outer void has not yet begun.
If you want to explore the extraterritorial void, you need to organize a team with at least Yuanshen Zhenjun as a member, be prepared to fight various extraterritorial races, and have the ability to deal with the endless risks in the extraterritorial void.
To be honest, the current Taiyi Sect really does not have the strength to organize a team to explore the void in depth.
However, everything will be successful if it is forewarned, and it will be ruined if it is not forewarned.
Now that Meng Zhang has laid a plan in the underworld and has achieved preliminary results, he should also slowly start to prepare for the exploration of the void.
The exploration of the void has many meanings, not just to satisfy the vanity of a few people or to prove one's own strength.
Many precious cultivation resources only exist in the outer void.
Especially those high-level cultivation resources that are useful to True Lord Yuanshen, many of which can only be produced in the void.
More importantly, as far as Meng Zhang knows, all sects with a certain status in the Heavenly Palace, including those in the Holy Land, will actively explore the void and actively fight against all major extraterrestrial races.
If Taiyi Sect wants to improve its status in the Heavenly Palace, in addition to working hard to earn contribution points, it must also perform when exploring the void outside the territory.
Meng Zhang kept this matter in mind and considered where to start.
The Ether Gate is not very powerful at the moment, so what can it do?
After this celebration ceremony, the already prestigious Taiyi Sect once again shocked all parties in Jiuqu Province.
Many cultivation forces in the south have taken the initiative to contact Taiyi Sect and have become more enthusiastic.
Since the long-distance teleportation circle in the mainland of the Dali Dynasty has not been restored, large foreign merchants such as the Datong Merchant Alliance have lost an important source of goods. Not only has their expansion stopped, but even the original market cannot be maintained.
.
Taiyi Sect has united many cultivation forces in the north of Jiuqu Province. Not only does it possess extremely rich cultivation resources, but it can also turn these resources into various products such as elixirs, magical weapons, and talismans.
Firstly, the forces of the Hanhai Dao Alliance are actively penetrating into the south of Jiuqu Province, and secondly, the cultivation forces in the south are also interested in making friends with Meng Zhang, or have a demand for cultivation resources and products from the north.
Suddenly, the commercial exchanges between the south and the north of Jiuqu Province became very frequent, giving birth to many large and small businesses.
Regarding this situation, Zhang Weineng, who has rarely appeared in public since his serious injury, did not express any opinions.
Datong Merchant Alliance and other big merchants were of course very dissatisfied, but there was nothing they could do.
The local cultivation forces in Jiuqu Province have been dissatisfied with these large foreign merchants for a long time.
The cultivation forces in the south are angry but dare not speak out, while the cultivation forces in the north are openly confrontational.
Now Taiyi Sect has unified the cultivation forces in the north of Jiuqu Province, and its strength has greatly increased and its momentum is fierce.
The cultivation forces in the southern part of the Jiuqu Province, relying on the momentum of the Taiyi Sect, began to exclude large merchants such as the Datong Merchant Alliance, either explicitly or covertly.
Datong Merchant Alliance and other big merchants really didn't dare to break up with Taiyi Sect without Zhang Wei's clear support.
Meng Zhang was completely happy to see the commercial expansion of Hanhai Dao Alliance under the leadership of Taiyi Sect.
The reason for the existence of commercial trade in the world of cultivation is not only to exchange what is needed, but also to take advantage of the opportunity to expand power.
Although Meng Zhang does not dare to openly pursue the idea of Jiuqu Province to the south, he has no objection to slowly infiltrating the power of the Hanhai Dao Alliance there.
Taking advantage of the opportunities of business exchanges, the Hanhai Dao Alliance can slowly expand its influence in the south of Jiuqu Province.
Cultivators' demand for resources is almost endless.
Cultivation sects are also greedy for territory and resources.
As the head of the Taiyi Sect, Meng Zhang not only vividly demonstrated the greed of cultivators, but also fully reflected the expansion desire of the cultivator sect.
Even the land of Yuantu Prairie has not been completely digested, but Meng Zhang began to covet the southern part of Jiuqu Province again.
The southern part of Jiuqu Province is the real essence of Jiuqu Province, and its wealth far exceeds that of the north.
Besides, Meng Zhang has unified the cultivation forces in the north of Jiuqu Province, but he is far from being the overlord of the north.
Firstly, it is slightly lacking in terms of strength and foundation.
Secondly, it is the most elite territory in the north of Jiuqu Province, which is the former territory of Jade Sword Sect, and some similar areas, all under the control of the official power of the Dali Dynasty.
In the northern core area of Jiuqu Province, where the Jade Sword Gate was originally located, an army from the Great Li Dynasty is still stationed.
This army was small in number and had limited strength, but it was like a sharp sword pressed against the vital points of the Hanhai Dao Alliance, making Meng Zhang feel like he had a lump in his throat and felt very uncomfortable.
But before openly breaking up with the Dali Dynasty, he had no choice but to do anything about it.
In these years, Wen Qian has never been idle.
After finishing the affairs in that small world, he finally had time to slowly study the situation on the Yunwu Daze.
Wen Qiansuan was able to become a formation master not only by his extraordinary talent in formations, but also by his love for formations.
The time he spent on the formation method was not even less than the time he spent on practice.
Ever since he learned that the palaces built by the demon clan outside the territory were related to the formation, he had actively conducted research and worked hard to make calculations.
Disliked that the information Meng Zhang brought back was too crude, he planned to go to Yunwu Daze himself to see the layout there with his own eyes.
Meng Zhang was not willing to put the only formation master in his sect in danger.
He took some time and used the Void Cauldron to teleport to the cloudy swamp with Wen Qiansuan.
They carried out space teleportation many times in the foggy swamp, and checked many of the various arrangements of the demon clan outside the territory without anyone noticing.
After returning to Taiyi Gate, Wen Qiansuan finally discovered the function of these palace groups after some thinking.
The demon clan has set up a huge formation throughout the entire Yunwu Ze.
Each node of the formation is located on the earth veins in various places, and can fully utilize the power of the earth veins.
But these palaces are used as landmarks for positioning after the formation is activated.
As for the function of this formation, there is only one.
That is to connect to the void outside the domain so that the creatures there can be directly transported to the Junchen Realm.
Meng Zhang was shocked when he heard that the demon clan outside the territory was secretly setting up this cross-boundary teleportation formation.
The demon clan's ability was far beyond his expectation, and the possible consequences of this incident were even more unacceptable to him.
