Under Yang Xueyi's arrangement, Meng Zhang successfully met the long-awaited True Lord of the Ridge.

After not seeing each other for many years, when we met again, the face of the True Lord of the Mountain Ridge was unabashedly sad, giving people an indescribable feeling of haggard.

It seemed that he was really troubled and full of sorrow.

The last time Lord Ridge and Meng Zhang met, they had a very pleasant conversation and had a good impression of each other.

Meng Zhang even felt that in the smoky Daheng cultivation world, it was a blessing for Wanhe Mountain and the Daheng cultivation world to have a person like Shanjizhenjun who had a general sense of consciousness and could distinguish right from wrong.

Meng Zhang was deeply impressed by Shanji Zhenjun's demeanor and conversation at that time.

When such an extraordinary person appeared in front of Meng Zhang with such an appearance, Meng Zhang immediately became alert. This was something big happening.

Although the True Lord of the Ridge was very anxious, he still maintained a minimum of demeanor.

He greeted Meng Zhang unhurriedly and even had time to chat for a few words.

In any case, as the leader of a faction, he still has some patience.

After Meng Zhang chatted with him for a few words, Meng Zhang took the initiative to ask what happened that made him so eager to request a meeting.

You should know that the True Lord of Mountain Ridge, as the leader of Wanhe Mountain, is regarded as a trusted assistant by Xiao Qiao.

Not only is every move on weekdays very eye-catching, but many times, he also has to deal with Xiao Qiao, the young master, so he doesn't really have much free time.

It was not only difficult for him to take the time to meet with Meng Zhang, but also took a lot of risks.

Once clues are revealed or the news is leaked, given Xiao Qiao's temper, not only will he never be spared, but Wanhe Mountain will also be brutally suppressed and retaliated against.

Meng Zhangdu had already taken the initiative to ask, and the Mountain Ridge Master finally couldn't stand it any longer.

He sighed deeply and began to tell the story of his visit.

When he met with Meng Zhang, he was reminded by Meng Zhang that he guessed that the great monk in the sect, Shanzhong Zhenjun, faked his death and escaped.

After parting ways with Meng Zhang, he immediately returned to the gate of Wanhe Mountain as quickly as possible and began to trace the whereabouts of True Lord Shanzhong.

Sure enough, just as he had guessed, the physical body of Lord Shanzhong was destroyed, but his soul remained.

Moreover, the worst-case scenario he imagined happened.

In the deepest part of the gate of Wanhe Mountain, thousands of feet deep underground, there is a special forbidden area.

On weekdays, the outside of the forbidden area is not only guarded by numerous restrictions, but also has the True Lord of the Soul within the gate taking turns to guard it all year round.

Disciples in the sect, including true disciples and ordinary elders, are not qualified to approach this place.

In the forbidden area, Wanhe Mountain's biggest secret is hidden, and it is also the biggest trump card for Wanhe Mountain to become one of the giant sects in the Daheng cultivation world.

There, there is a special sacred stone.

This sacred stone has absorbed the earthly evil energy over the years, and every once in a while, it will spit out a special stone fetus.

For cultivators who have reached the perfect Golden Core stage, when they attack the Yuanshen stage, refining and absorbing such stone bodies can greatly increase the chance of success.

Over the years, it is precisely because of this sacred stone that the True Lord of Yuan Shen in Wanhe Mountain has never been cut off.

Moreover, the number of True Lords of the Soul in Wanhe Mountain has remained stable all year round, and there are often more than ten True Lords of the Soul.

If it weren't for the limited production of stone tires, Wanhe Mountain might have dominated the entire Daheng cultivation world with the continuous birth of True Monarchs of Yuanshen.

When Meng Zhang heard this, he couldn't help but take a deep look at the True Lord of the Ridge.

This sacred stone is the foundation of Wanhe Mountain.

What the current Taiyi Sect lacks is this kind of foundation.

The monk who truly supports the appearance of a Yuanshen sect is the True Lord Yuanshen in the sect.

The number of True Lords of Yuanshen determines the status and strength of the sect.

Once there is a fault in the True Monarch of Yuanshen, then even the sect that has been inherited for a long time will be in danger of destruction.

A cultivator's ability to break through to the True Lord of Yuanshen depends on each person's talent and qualifications. There are many foreign objects that can also help cultivators break through to the Yuanshen stage.

With that sacred stone in Wanhe Mountain, it can stably and continuously produce the True Lord of Yuanshen.

Even if the sect suffered heavy losses, it was only a temporary setback.

After the new True Lord Yuanshen is slowly born, the sect's strength can gradually recover.

Looking back at the current Taiyi Sect, apart from the True Lords Jin Li, True Lord He Luo and other outsiders, the number of direct lineage Souls in the sect is very limited.

There are only a limited number of true genius disciples and those who have the talent to break through to the soul.

Although Taiyi Sect can exchange for some auxiliary treasures that can help break through the Yuan Shen stage through various channels in the Heavenly Palace.

However, the source is not stable, and there is no guarantee that it will be available when needed. Moreover, the price paid is huge and the effect is average.

It would be even more difficult to collect it with one's own abilities.

Even though the Taiyi Sect is currently prospering, in fact, the far-sighted senior members of the sect like Meng Zhang have hidden worries in their hearts.

Genius disciples are rare, and treasures that assist in breaking through the soul are even more rare.

So far, Taiyi Sect has not dared to say that it can stably cultivate Yuanshen monks.

If you are unlucky, the older generation of monks will wither, and the younger generation of disciples will not live up to expectations, there is a possibility that the Yuanshen stage monks will be disconnected.

Therefore, when the True Monarch of Shanji told him about the treasure of Wanhe Mountain, even though Meng Zhang knew he shouldn't, he still couldn't help but feel greed in his heart.

The True Lord of Mountain Ridge probably also knows how treasures can move people's hearts.

If word spreads about this treasure owned by Wanhe Mountain, it may lead to competition among many Yuanshen sects.

He would not take the initiative to reveal this secret to Meng Zhang unless he had to.

He even hurriedly added some disadvantages of this treasure.

This sacred stone does not give birth to a stone body out of thin air. It needs to be supported with various precious materials, including many kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Supporting this sacred stone has long been a heavy burden that has plagued Wanhe Mountain for many years.

Not only are the number of stone embryos produced by the divine stone limited, but their effects are also average.

It does not mean that cultivators who refine and absorb this kind of stone will definitely be able to break through to the Yuan Shen stage, but it only increases the chance.

Moreover, only cultivators who practice the Wanhe Mountain Kung Fu can fully exert the effect of the stone fetus.

If you are a cultivator who practices other martial arts, even if you absorb and refine the stone body, the effect will be greatly reduced.

Meng Zhang heard what the True Monarch of Mountain Ridge had to say and felt that this was normal.

If there were no restrictions at all, then this sacred stone would be too outrageous.

I am afraid that even those Holy Land sects will fight for such treasures regardless of their face after knowing about it.

Even with all the restrictions, this sacred stone is still very effective.
