Master Luo Ye and Meng Zhang had not been traveling in Jiuqu League for long before Meng Zhang received a message from Taiyi Sect.
Probably for reasons of secrecy, the letter did not go into detail. It just said that Jin Li, the real person, was visiting and that Meng Zhang needed to rush back as soon as possible for important matters.
Meng Zhang had to say goodbye to Master Luo Ye and prepared to return to Taiyimen.
On the occasion of parting, Master Luo Ye hesitated for a long time before telling Meng Zhang a huge secret.
Before speaking, Master Luoye took out a palm-sized tent and threw it on the ground, turning it into an exquisite tent that could accommodate several people. She led Meng Zhang inside and then slowly spoke.
It turns out that Luoye Zhenren went to the Endless Sand Sea to kill the Golden Tiger Demon General and regained a treasure that the Golden Tiger Demon took away from the Dark Alliance.
When she was receiving the reward from the Dark Alliance, an elder who had a good relationship with her reminded her to stay away from the Endless Sand Sea in the future and try not to get involved in the disputes there to avoid getting into trouble.
Master Luoye asked the elder about the whole story, but the elder refused to say more. Master Luo Ye used the pestering skills he had learned as a girl, stalking and twisting the elder and not letting him go.
The elder was so entangled by Master Luo Ye that he had no choice but to tell her the secret, and told her again and again that she must not spread this secret to anyone else.
Now, Master Luo Ye and Meng Zhang were about to separate, and he was worried that Meng Zhang would suffer unintentionally when he returned, so he told him the secret.
Master Luo Ye also told Meng Zhang that this secret should not be spread outside at will.
This secret involves the fifth-level almighty and the True Lord Yuanshen. In order to prevent them from being induced, it was told in this tent.
With the shield of this tent magic weapon, Master Luo Ye dared to tell this secret unscrupulously.
The fifth-level almighty in the Death Sand Sea came from outside the sky and was not a creature of this world.
This powerful life form is very special, neither human nor demon, neither ghost nor demon. Among the Dark Alliance, there were seniors who had traveled to other worlds and recognized the origin of this powerful man, saying that he was a race from other worlds, the Eldar.
There are many branches of the Spirit Clan, and this fifth-level power belongs to the Earth Spirit Clan.
The Tuling clan is born and raised by nature, so it is not easy to be born.
The spiritual beings of heaven and earth aggregated into the body of the earth spirit, and then over the long years, spirituality was slowly born.
Although the earth spirit clan is born with magical powers, they have powerful instincts and talents. But it is also very difficult to grow to the fifth level.
The fifth-level earth spirit is very rare not only among the earth spirit clan, but also among the entire spiritual clan.
The fifth-level earth spirit didn't know what happened to him, but he was seriously injured and fell into this world.
The body of the fifth-level earth spirit itself is a rare treasure of heaven and earth, and is naturally coveted by many people with great supernatural powers.
When the fifth-level earth spirit came, it caused a huge disaster and formed today's death sand sea.
Therefore, the Purple Gold Sect, the closest Yuan Shen sect, used this as an excuse to lead the elite of the faction to attack this fifth-level earth spirit.
In addition, the White Lion Demon King of Yaofeng Gobi also took advantage of the heavy damage caused by the fifth-order earth spirit to take advantage of others' danger.
Of course, Meng Zhang already knew their fate.
True Lord Tianzhu also came to Jiuqu League at that time.
True Lord Tianzhu was born as a casual cultivator, but he was able to cultivate all the way to the late stage of Yuanshen and became a famous and powerful person in the world of cultivation. In addition to his own talent and hard work, it is also because of his close relationship with the Dark Alliance.
When Master Luoye talked about the origin of Master Tianzhu and the Dark Alliance, Meng Zhang was a little surprised.
In his understanding, organizations like the Dark Alliance belong to the dark side of the world of cultivation and have always been hidden in the dark. They should not be tolerated by all prominent sects.
Although True Lord Tianzhu acts ruthlessly and has a domineering style, he is still an out-and-out righteous monk.
He has always been on good terms with all major righteous sects.
Master Luo Ye was very disdainful of Meng Zhang's surprise.
The Taiyi Sect is also a member of the famous and decent sect. Meng Zhang himself should be very clear about the virtues of those so-called famous and decent sects.
As a member of the righteous path, Meng Zhang has a close relationship with Master Luo Ye, who was born in the Dark Alliance.
Master Luo Ye's words made Meng Zhang silent for a while.
The Taiyi Sect is now the overlord of the party, and Meng Zhang knows very well what the so-called decent sect is all about.
As long as you are a Taoist inheritor, major in Taoist exercises, have a certain level of strength, resolutely draw a clear line between demons and ghosts on the surface, follow the general rules of conduct in the world of cultivation, and have a decent face, you can be proud to call yourself a famous sect. upright.
People on the right path and monks on the right path all share the same principle.
Any cultivation method that is not Taoist is a heretical practice and is not worthy of elegance.
If you add in the bad reputation or don't know how to package it, then you are definitely an evil monk.
True Monarch Tianzhu said he was a righteous monk, but his methods were ruthless and cruel, putting even some evil monks to shame.
On the surface, the Dark Alliance is not tolerated by the major sects and is regarded as evil. The main reason is that the inheritance of the Dark Alliance is complicated, and most of the inheritance has nothing to do with the Taoist sect, or is a heresy within the Taoist sect.
Although the Taoist factions do not work together, there is still a secret connection between the dark alliance and the famous sects that dominate various places.
True Lord Tianzhu appears to be extremely majestic and famous. But deep inside his heart, there was deep pain.
Being a casual cultivator means that he does not have a complete sect inheritance. Even though he had received many benefits from the Dark Alliance, his cultivation path had almost come to an end after he reached the late stage of Yuanshen.
The lifespan of the True Lord Yuanshen is generally between 1,800 and 2,800 years old, with the limit not exceeding 3,000 years old.
True Lord Tianzhu is over two thousand years old, but he has never seen the hope of breaking through to the realm of returning to the virtual world.
At this time, the seriously injured fifth-level earth spirit descended on the Death Sand Sea, allowing him to see an opportunity.
Zhenjun Tianzhu once obtained a side secret method, which allowed him to entrust his soul to special creatures such as earth spirits, swallow the earth spirits' spiritual bodies, and seize their bodies.
With this fifth-level earth spirit as a resource, True Lord Tianzhu has hope of further progress.
True Lord Tianzhu made a deal with the Dark Alliance and paid a lot of money to gain the support of the Dark Alliance. Then he went deep into the sea of death sand and faced the fifth-level earth spirit.
In order to prevent the fifth-level earth spirit from perishing at the end of the road, Tianzhu Zhenjun did not force it too much, but left a glimmer of hope for it to make a comeback.
Therefore, True Lord Tianzhu used the Taoist technique of one thing to decrease and the other to increase.
But the fifth-level earth spirit accepted this Taoist skill calmly, trying to grasp the last straw.
Taoism activates the power of the Tao, and the manifestation of the power of the Tao is the various rules between heaven and earth.
The winner takes all, the rules are equally fair to them all, and the fifth-level earth spirit still has a chance to win.
Once the fifth-level earth spirit wins, not only can it escape, but it will also devour the soul of True Lord Tianzhu.
Through this Taoist technique, the Heavenly Lord of Heaven who casts the spell and the fifth-level earth spirit who receives the spell are forcibly connected by the power of the great avenue.
They have to abide by various rules and fight within the rules.
They do not decide the winner through a single battle, but through gambling battles of varying sizes and forms to determine the growth and decline of each other's strength.
True Lord Tianzhu had many gambling battles with the fifth-level earth spirit. The victory of every gambling battle is related to the comparison of power between them.
For hundreds of years, Lord Tianzhu has won one victory after another, accumulating advantages bit by bit. Now, their fight has reached its final and critical moment.
Of course, for someone as powerful as them, the so-called last minute is also a long time.
The more at this time, the more sensitive Tianzhu Zhenjun becomes.
For fifth-level earth spirits, victory or defeat is a matter of life and death. For Tianzhu Zhenjun, he also risked everything, including his life, just for the last hope on the road.
It is a sworn hatred to prevent people from becoming enlightened. Whoever jumps out and wants to do bad things at this time is definitely the life and death enemy of True Lord Tianzhu.
Master Luoye specially reminded Meng Zhang that he must be careful in his actions and must not be regarded as an obstacle by Master Tianzhu.
A bold guy like Zhenjun Xuanfeng may appear to be fighting against Zhenjun Tianzhu, but in fact he just wants to take the opportunity to extort some benefits.
Zhenjun Qi Mingyuan of the Qi family also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, so he got involved in the fight early.
Both Meng Zhang and the Taiyi Sect are just pawns, unable to interfere with the decision of True Lord Yuanshen, and can only be passively involved in the fight.
After learning the cause and effect of the entire incident from Master Luo Ye, and understanding the root cause of the changes in the situation in the Endless Sand Sea over the past hundreds of years, Meng Zhang suddenly understood. He had some new ideas in his mind about how to act in the future.
After reminding Meng Zhang, Master Luo Ye had nothing more to say.
After Meng Zhang thanked her again and again, he hurried back to Taiyimen.
Master Luo Ye will soon be going to protect his disciple Jueying.
After years of hard training, Jueying has reached the completion of the foundation building stage and is about to start seclusion to attack the golden elixir stage.
As a member of the Dark Alliance, Jueying's conditions are relatively superior, and all the preparations needed to reach the Golden Core stage are relatively complete.
Because he was anxious to go back, Meng Zhang didn't delay on the way and went straight back.
When he returned to Taiyimen, Jin Li had already left. However, before she left, she had made everything clear.
Niu Dawei conveyed the original words of Jin Li to Meng Zhang.
It turns out that Master Jin Li came to Taiyi Gate this time to ask Meng Zhang to prepare for war immediately and prepare for a large-scale attack on the Death Sand Sea in the near future.
Because of the secret dealings between the fifth-level powerful man and the demon cultivator, he was discovered by True Lord Tianzhu on the spot. According to the rules of the battle between the two parties, True Monarch Tianzhu has the right to mobilize his subordinates to clear the sea of death sand with all their strength, completely eliminate the sand monsters there, and completely cut off the wings of the fifth-level almighty.
Because the rules were broken, the fifth-level almighty was restrained by True Lord Tianzhu and could not be distracted.
Therefore, after clearing the sea of death this time, the Golden Core Stage monks can freely participate in the battle.
As the leader of Taiyi Sect, Meng Zhang can personally lead the army of Taiyi Sect monks to attack.
Master Jin Li also reminded that although the fifth-level powerful man could not take action directly, he was surrounded by a group of third-level sand monsters all year round. If the Death Sand Sea is invaded on a large scale, the group of third-level sand monsters will probably go to reinforce it.
Master Jin Li also knew that it was simply unrealistic to rely solely on the power of the Taiyi Sect to clear the Sea of Death.
Therefore, in addition to contacting Taiyi Sect, she also had to mobilize the power of Feihong Sect and Mobei Qi Family.
At that time, the forces of the three sects will be gathered to form a coalition to attack the Sea of Death.
To be honest, Meng Zhang felt that Jin Li was too optimistic. Even if the Taiyi Sect and other three forces join forces, they may not be able to complete the mission of clearing the Death Sand Sea.
The comparison of combat effectiveness at the Golden Core level with Meng Zhang is not clear, only the comparison with the combat effectiveness below the Golden Core level.
Meng Zhang personally visited the Death Sand Sea back then, and the many teams that went to the Death Sand Sea over the years brought back a lot of first-hand information.
Not to mention ghost cultivators and demon cultivators, the endless group of sand monsters in the sea of death alone can daunt even Jindan masters like Meng Zhang.
Jindan Zhenren is not a tireless and never-weary fighting machine. The sand monster is a puppet that has no emotions at all and only knows how to fight and kill.
Once they fall into the army of sand monsters and fail to retreat in time, as long as there are enough sand monsters, it is entirely possible for them to consume Jindan Master alive.
In his heart, Meng Zhang was very resistant to this mission.
However, what Master Jin Li brought was the order of True Lord Tianzhu, and True Lord Yuanshen’s will cannot be violated.
Meng Zhang must obey orders honestly no matter how unwilling he is.
Obviously disobeying orders is absolutely unacceptable, but after entering the Death Sand Sea, whether you can find opportunities to do nothing or even avoid fighting is another matter.
In any case, on the surface, Meng Zhang responded very positively to the order from Jin Li.
Not long after returning to Taiyi Sect, Meng Zhang issued a mobilization order as the leader of Taiyi Sect and the leader of the Hanhai Dao Alliance.
Next, Taiyi Sect and the entire Hanhai Dao League, which had enjoyed a peaceful life, quickly mobilized again.
This time the attack on the Death Sand Sea was different from the last battle to conquer Feihong Mountain. True Lord Tianzhu did not have a strict time limit.
Taiyi Sect has enough time to make various preparations before the war.
Now the business relationship between Taiyi Sect and Da Feng City has not completely returned to normal, but through various channels, Tai Yi Sect still purchased a large amount of war materials from Da Feng City.
The Gu Yue family was also very proactive and helpful this time, helping Taiyi Sect purchase supplies and recruit casual cultivators from all walks of life.
Although the quality of casual cultivators varies greatly, if Taiyi Sect wants to reduce the casualties of its own monks, it still needs to recruit a large number of casual cultivators to serve as cannon fodder.
Taiyi Sect had experience in recruiting casual cultivators from Jiuqu League before, and Taiyi Sect's reputation for generosity had already spread to Jiuqu League.
Taiyi Sect's work of recruiting casual cultivators went very smoothly. In fact, not only casual cultivators, but also some unsuccessful cultivators from small sects and small families have also accepted employment, hoping to fight for their future and opportunities on the battlefield.
