Meng Zhangfei was flying high in the sky, watching the bustling crowd below slowly dispersing. Visitors from all walks of life began to make their way back.
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 here 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 having two more Yuanshen True Lords on his behalf.
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.
A sect that 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 Taiyi Sect was as strong as it is today during the Jiuqu League era, it would be enough to compete with Qingyuan Sect and Yujian Sect for the dominance of 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 when he thought about it, the current Taiyi Sect, no matter what aspect, was still far away from its heyday.
Perhaps, if Taiyi Sect develops for a few more years, it can slowly catch up with its heyday and restore its glory.
When he was proud, Meng Zhang rarely relaxed and started chatting with Xukongzi, the weapon spirit of the Void Cauldron.
Xukongzi, who originally didn't take the initiative to talk to Meng Zhang, took the initiative to remind Meng Zhang about the time in the small world of the Goddess, and Meng Zhang also talked to Xukongzi from time to time.
He has many fourth-level magic weapons on his body, but these weapon spirits are still relatively ignorant. Even the most mature weapon spirit of the colorful glow robe 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.
Is the current Taiyi Sect capable of placing treasures in the Ten Thousand Needles Stone Forest in the underworld? Do you have the ability to go deep into the outer void and bury treasures in the outer void?
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 deeply.
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, he has achieved preliminary results. The exploration of the void should also begin to slowly prepare.
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 take the initiative to 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 also needs to perform well when exploring the void outside the territory.
Meng Zhang kept this matter in mind and considered where to start.
The Ether B Sect is not very powerful at the moment, so what can it do?
After this celebration ceremony, the already famous 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 transmission 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 business 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 dare to be angry but dare not speak out, while the cultivation forces in the north openly resist.
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 south of Jiuqu Province, relying on the momentum of Taiyi Sect, began to exclude large merchants such as Datong Merchant Alliance, either explicitly or covertly.
Datong Merchant Alliance and other large 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 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 a lump in his throat and making him feel 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 virtue of 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 practicing.
Ever since he learned that the palaces built by the demon clan outside the territory were related to formations, 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 unwilling to put the only formation master in his sect in danger.
He took time out and used the Void Cauldron to teleport to the cloudy swamp with Wen Qiansuan.
They carried out space teleportation many times in the clouds and swamps, and checked many of the various arrangements of the demon clan outside the territory without anyone noticing.
After returning to Taiyimen, 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 matter were even more unacceptable to him.
Fortunately, Wen Qiansuan then gave a detailed explanation.
The teleportation formation that can cross boundaries is at least a fifth-level formation.
Creating such a large formation requires at least a fifth-level array mage. Even if it is just a matter of imitation, simply setting it up requires the joint efforts of several fourth-level array mage.
The large formation set up by the demon clan is still far from completion, and the completed part cannot even be called a prototype.
Now Wen Qian is not sure that he can completely arrange such a large formation.
The level of formation masters from the Monster Clan was far inferior to Wen Qiansu.
The demon clan will definitely encounter many difficulties and challenges during the formation process.
Even if there are ready-made templates that can be copied, the formation process is still progressing slowly.
After seeing this formation, Wen Qiansuan was greatly inspired.
If he can thoroughly digest all the information he has obtained, he will definitely make great progress in the formation method.
According to Wen Qiansuan's calculations, it is not possible for the demon clan to fully deploy this fifth-level formation.
Even if they try hard and have unlucky luck, it will take a long time to barely complete the prototype of the grand formation.
Meng Zhang doesn't need to be impatient at all, he can deal with this problem slowly.
Wen Qiansuan's words relieved Meng Zhang's worries and made his mood slowly return to calm.
He secretly decided that these extraterrestrial invaders could no longer stay. Even if it costs some money, we must get rid of them all.
The consequences of directly connecting to the outer void are too terrifying.
If a steady stream of demons and spirits from outside the territory are transmitted through the formation, I am afraid that the entire Jiuqu Province will fall.
Taiyimen will bear the brunt and become one of the earliest victims.
Even though the demon clan outside the territory is still far away from successfully setting up a large formation, they have such thoughts and have the ability to realize such thoughts, which is the way to death.
Of course, how to eliminate the extraterritorial invaders in Yunwu Daze requires slow and long-term planning.
Moreover, this is not the responsibility of the Taiyimen family.
It should have been the responsibility of the ruler of Jiuqu Province, the Dali Dynasty, to eliminate the foreign invaders.
As the governor of the province, Zhang Weineng had an unshirkable responsibility in this matter and could not escape it.
How to persuade Zhang Weineng and how to cooperate with the Dali Dynasty's Zhenbei army requires careful consideration in advance.
Even the reaction from the Purple Sun Sect needs to be carefully considered.
Of course, Meng Zhang soon stopped caring about the foreign invaders.
Because for him, there are more important things that he needs to do.
His external incarnation was wonderful. After a long journey in the underworld, he finally completed his journey and arrived at his destination.
Although this journey is far away, if Tai Miao really goes all out, it won't even take a month.
But he wasted too much time on the way, so he only arrived now.
A rough calculation showed that he had been delayed on the road for nearly twenty years.
In the past nearly twenty years, he had not spent all of them traveling.
In other words, rushing is not his main task.
After these years of practice and tempering, he not only fully digested and absorbed his own power, but also was able to exert strong combat effectiveness.
Along the way, he ambushed groups of ghosts, captured them, and recruited troops.
Now, the number of his army of ghosts has exceeded 10,000.
Not to mention the quality, just the look, a large black area, as if it were boundless, is still a bit intimidating.
Of course, this army of ghosts was also the main culprit that slowed down his speed.
