Meng Zhang sat high on the high platform, accepting the homage from the monks below.
This is a grand ceremony to celebrate the official establishment of the Hanhai Dao League. The ceremony was grand in scale, with many guests and extremely lively.
After these years of experience, Niu Dawei has become more and more capable.
After he accepted Meng Zhang's will, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the work of establishing the Hanhai Dao League.
The Taiyi Sect was so powerful that all the surrounding sects had no room to resist. Moreover, all the cultivation forces in the Endless Sand Sea are nominally vassals of the Feihong Sect. From being a vassal of one Jindan Sect to becoming an ally of another Jindan Sect, it seems like a big improvement.
No matter what the actual situation is, on the surface, the surrounding cultivation forces are all vying for it and are very enthusiastic about joining the Hanhai Dao Alliance.
After more than two years of preparation, the Hanhai Dao Alliance was officially established just now.
The Taiyi Sect prepared a grand ceremony at Xiongshi Ridge to celebrate the establishment of the Hanhai Dao League.
Before that, the Hanhai Dao Alliance had actually begun operations.
Key institutions such as the Council of Elders and the Assembly Hall were established one after another, and all the cultivation forces that joined the Hanhai Dao Alliance acted in accordance with the orders within the alliance.
Today's ceremony is just a formality, but it is not a simple ceremony.
The Feihong Sect has ruled the Endless Sand Sea for many years. In the Endless Sand Sea, except for the Mobei Qi family, no cultivation force can compete with it.
Linquan Temple and Dihuo Sect, which once produced Jindan Zhenren, once had a tendency to be on par with Feihong Sect, but both sects soon died out.
Now Taiyi Sect has become Jindan Sect, and Feihong Sect has to recognize the existence of Taiyi Sect because of the external pressure.
Meng Zhang is not satisfied with this status now.
In addition to the sect itself, the Taiyi Sect has also gathered a group of cultivation forces, at least in terms of momentum, to show signs of differentiation from the Feihong Sect.
Holding today's grand ceremony, in addition to shocking the major cultivation forces in the alliance, also has the meaning of openly challenging the Feihong Sect.
After accepting the respectful tributes from the monks below, Meng Zhang was quite satisfied with the effect of the ceremony.
As the head of the Taiyi Sect and the only Jindan Daoist in the Hanhai Taoist Alliance, Meng Zhang is naturally the obvious choice to lead the alliance.
With the power of Jindan Zhenren, he can easily overwhelm the group of monks below.
What's more, in the past period of time, there have been internal disturbances in two families and one sect. The original top management was swept away, and new members were promoted.
Behind the change of ownership within these three forces, the figure of the Taiyi Sect loomed faintly.
Although I don’t know why the Taiyi Sect is targeting these three forces, the Taiyi Sect has shown its fangs and proved that it can control the life and death of the monks in the alliance.
All the cultivation forces in the newly established Hanhai Dao Alliance were in awe of Taiyi Sect and did not dare to disobey in the slightest.
In addition to the leaders of various forces within the alliance, there were also many guests from Gale City at the founding ceremony of the Hanhai Dao Alliance.
Over the years, Taiyi Sect has sent more and more caravans to Gale City for trade.
With the opening of a direct route between Taiyi Gate and Gale City, the exchanges between the two places have become closer.
Because of the close relationship with the Gu Yue family, especially after Taiyi Sect became the Jindan Sect, the status of the sect changed drastically.
Many cultivation families in Gale City are interested in getting in touch with the Taiyi Sect.
Although Gu Yue Huaidie did not come in person for the founding ceremony of the Hanhai Dao League this time because of something else, the Gu Yue family sent an envoy to congratulate them.
Following the Gu Yue family's envoys, there were many visitors from Da Feng City's cultivation families.
Of course, Meng Zhang was very happy about this situation.
Taiyi Sect is no longer a vassal of Feihong Sect, and naturally has to deal with these external cultivation forces in an independent position.
The Feihong Sect can sell various cultivation resources from the Endless Sand Sea to the Jiuqu Alliance, especially some unique specialties.
Taiyi Sect, which is also located in the endless sand sea, can naturally provide these cultivation resources to the outside world.
As a newly promoted Jindan sect, Taiyi sect must expand its contacts and open up new business routes.
Probably because of Gu Yue's relationship with Huai Die, Gu Yue's family provided a lot of help in this matter, which saved the Taiyi Sect from making many detours.
The Mobei Qi family did not send anyone to attend the ceremony, which was normal.
There has never been much contact between Taiyimen and the Mobei Qi family. Moreover, after the last defeat in Yaofeng Gobi, the Qi family in Mobei, whose vitality was severely damaged, completely shrunk, almost completely closing the mountain, and basically cutting off all contact with the outside world.
The Feihong Sect did not send an envoy to attend the ceremony, which was also not beyond Meng Zhang's expectations.
The establishment of the Hanhai Taoist Alliance by the Taiyi Sect was a clear sign that Chaoma would separate from the Feihong Sect.
As the overlord of the endless sand sea, Feihong Sect can tolerate the existence of Taiyi Sect to its limit. Of course, they would not have a good look at the slightly provocative behavior of the Hanhai Dao Alliance.
In fact, before this ceremony, the Hanhai Dao Alliance had been essentially established and began to operate.
The Feihong Sect had a very indifferent attitude towards this and clearly expressed their dissatisfaction.
The Feihong Sect took the initiative to sever ties with the Hanhai Dao Alliance and interrupted trade between the two parties.
Taiyi Sect and Feihong Sect are both sects in the Endless Sand Sea, and their resources are not complementary to each other.
Feihong Sect has most of the cultivation resources that Taiyi Sect also has.
The Taiyi Sect is growing day by day, with talents emerging in large numbers, and more and more monks are achieving success in various arts of cultivation.
The number of assistant positions in production such as alchemist, weapon refiner, talisman maker, and beast master is increasing day by day, and the sect's production capacity is getting stronger and stronger.
In terms of elixirs, magic weapons, talismans, etc., Taiyi Sect is basically able to be self-sufficient, and there is no need to ask Feihong Sect for help.
Even if all contact with Feihong Sect is completely severed, it will not have much impact on Taiyi Sect.
Taiyi Sect's caravan can go directly to Gale City for trade without passing through Feihong Sect's territory. The supplies you really need can be purchased directly from Gale City.
In response, Taiyi Sect stopped the flying boats that regularly sailed to Feihong Sect's territory. At the junction with Feihong Sect, sentries and patrol teams were set up.
Personnel exchanges between the two places have basically come to a standstill. For monks who really need to communicate, they have to find a way to cross the boundary between the two forces.
With the establishment of the Hanhai Dao Alliance, the relationship between the two temporary allies, Taiyi Sect and Feihong Sect, took a turn for the worse, reaching a freezing point.
Of course, the two sides were just a little indifferent to each other, and at most there was a hint of hostility. Because of their respective circumstances, neither side wants to have an additional enemy at this time.
The Taiyi Sect has risen not long ago, but there is still a big gap in strength between the Taiyi Sect and the Feihong Sect. As for the Feihong Sect, with the Fire Cloud Sect watching eagerly outside, they were unwilling to be attacked from both sides.
Both sides were unhappy with each other, but both maintained enough restraint.
