The sun and the moon flew by, and time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it had been almost twenty years since the Taiyi Sect and the Hai Clan had ceased war.
Over the past twenty years, Taiyi Sect has slowly licked its wounds and regained its strength.
Because the Jindan monks did not suffer losses in the war, although the low-level disciples suffered a lot, as long as there is enough time, these losses can be slowly replenished.
The vast territory currently controlled by Ether Yi Sect has produced more and more mortals. As the population base increases, the number of people awakening their spiritual roots will naturally continue to increase.
Moreover, according to the practice of the cultivation world, when a sect has suffered heavy losses and is in urgent need of additional personnel, the threshold for entry will be lowered intentionally or unintentionally and more disciples will be recruited to join the sect.
Although this will lead to a decline in the overall quality of the disciples in a short period of time, it is an effective way to replenish manpower as quickly as possible.
As long as the immediate needs are solved, any problems can be adjusted slowly in the future.
The vast territory newly occupied by Taiyi Sect cannot be developed on a large scale. The Red Rock Valley was simply constructed, with the focus being on strengthening its defense and adding some permanent defense facilities.
Beast King Mountain obtained a large territory in Yaofeng Gobi, and soon devoted manpower and material resources to develop it.
The Demon Wind Gobi is a very suitable place for monster beasts to thrive and survive. Countless groups of monster beasts have lived here for thousands of years.
Beast King Mountain did not destroy the original environment here. Instead, it spent a lot of effort to improve various conditions and build monster breeding grounds one after another.
Because of his background, Beast King Mountain had always kept a low profile within the Jiuqu League and missed out on a lot of benefits.
Now that we finally have the opportunity to expand, we certainly won’t let it go easily.
Meng Zhang originally thought that for a Yuanshen sect like Beast King Mountain, the territory of Yaofeng Gobi might be nothing.
That's because he doesn't know the specific situation of Beast King Mountain.
Such a vast territory is a rare tonic for Beast King Mountain. Especially the rich monster resources here, it is simply a treasure land made in heaven.
If True Lord Jinli and True Lord Qinglan hadn't intervened in this matter, maybe Beast King Shanzhen would have relied on the power of Yuanshen Sect to forcefully claim more territory from Taiyi Sect.
The western part of Yaofeng Gobi is far more suitable for monster beasts to survive than the eastern part of Yaofeng Gobi where Taiyi Sect is currently located, and naturally has more monster resources.
True Lord Jinli occupied a large share of the newly captured territory in name only.
In order to repair the relationship with her, Taiyi Sect not only increased the number of offerings over the years, but also sent people to prioritize the development of the territory belonging to Jinli Zhenjun and all the resources obtained when it was short of manpower and could not even take care of its own territory. All turned over.
If the development is insufficient or the annual performance is not good, Taiyi Sect will make up the difference out of its own pocket, and it will definitely not be short of the income that Jinli Zhenjun should receive.
This incident made Meng Zhang and the senior leaders of Taiyi Sect fully realize how important it is to have a backer in the Yuan Shen stage.
If Jin Li Zhenjun no longer protects the Taiyi Sect, not to mention external enemies, the forces within the Jiuqu Alliance alone will be able to eat Taiyi Sect to pieces.
Of course, Jin Li Zhenjun is an outsider after all. No matter how good the relationship is, you can't rely on her forever.
The most urgent thing for Taiyi Sect at present is to have its own True Lord of Yuanshen.
Among the many golden elixir masters in Taiyi Sect, Meng Zhang, the master of the late golden elixir stage, is the most likely to break through to the Yuanshen stage.
Of course Meng Zhang knew this, and he devoted more time to cultivation.
During these years, he acted alone, taking great risks, and flew to Jiutian many times to collect the essence of Jiutian for his own cultivation.
As a celestial master, his spiritual awareness is astonishing. He acts according to the guidance of his spiritual sense, is able to avoid most dangers, and is able to achieve certain gains almost every time.
The nine-day essence harvested was still not enough to satisfy his cultivation needs.
At this time, Meng Zhang realized that as a self-made man, he had disadvantages in some aspects.
Without the help of powerful elders, he relied entirely on his own efforts. This was too inefficient and greatly slowed down his cultivation speed.
Legend has it that the major sects that have the True Lord of Yuanshen allow late-stage Jindan disciples to enter the Nine Heavens, with the main purpose of training them. Many of the Yuan Shen seeds that are really being cultivated and the nine-day essence needed for their cultivation are collected by the elders in the Yuan Shen stage.
Meng Zhang had no Yuanshen-level elders to rely on for this kind of matter. If he wanted to obtain a large amount of Nine Heavens Essence, he would have to find another way.
He once tried to use Dayan Divine Calculation and made a deduction.
But the result of the derivation was vague, and I just got a sentence that didn't come by chance.
The higher the attainment of Tianjishu, the more Meng Zhang felt the limitations of Tianjishu.
A strong person at the Yuan Shen level cannot deduce it, and a fourth-level heaven and earth spiritual creature cannot deduce it...
Special spiritual objects like Nine Heavens Essence are between the third level and the fourth level. If he wants to obtain a small amount, there is no need to deduce it, his spiritual sense can actively guide him. But if you want to obtain a large amount of it, even if you actively use the Tianji Technique to deduce it, it will be difficult to get useful results.
Of course, Meng Zhang's current cultivation speed and the Nine Heavens Essence he has obtained far exceed that of ordinary casual cultivators.
Even within those large sects, only those seed disciples had better conditions than him.
After all, he is still the leader of a sect. After practicing, he still has to try his best to spare some time to arrange some important matters in the sect.
Hongyan Valley is not only a treasure, but also an important position for Taiyi Sect to resist the invasion of the Hai Clan in the future.
Although there has been no trouble in the Hai Clan in recent years, Meng Zhang still arranged a strong defense force. The Jindan masters in the gate will also take turns to sit there to ensure that this place has enough Jindan combat power to respond at any time.
Niu Dawei was seriously injured in the last battle, and later used secret methods to forcibly suppress the injury, which caused great sequelae. Even after so many years of training, he has never recovered.
Meng Zhang sent him to Jiuqu City, the headquarters of Jiuqu League, to serve as the elder of Taiyi Sect in Jiuqu League.
First, as the disciple of the leader of the Taiyi Sect, he can start socializing, make friends with various forces, expand the Taiyi Sect's contacts, and weave a larger network of relationships.
Secondly, I also hope that he can get some opportunities in Jiuqu City, a big city with developed commerce, abundant supplies, and strong people, which will help heal his own injuries.
After Niu Dawei left the mountain gate and went to Jiuqu City, the daily affairs of the sect that he was originally responsible for were assigned to several Jindanqi elders by Meng Zhang.
With the current structure of the Etheryi Sect, as long as no major incident occurs, the elders and hall leaders can perform their duties and handle the ordinary affairs in a proper manner.
