Whether or not one has a blessed land is an effective way to test the true heritage of a sect.
In the past, when Meng Zhang's cultivation and status were not enough, he always felt how lofty and rare the blessed land was.
Only when he saw more later did he realize that the top sects in Junchen Realm basically had blessed lands.
If a sect wants to compete head-on with the Holy Land sect, owning a blessed land is a minimum condition.
Only when a sect owns a blessed land can it support monks above the True Lord of Yuanshen in the sect without resorting to external help.
In many ways, we can be self-sufficient without worrying about being blocked or embargoed.
Not to mention the Heavenly Palace, Meng Zhang saw the blessed land for the first time in the Junchen Realm when he arrived at the mountain gate of the Hailing Sect.
He had been to Shangjing, the capital of the Dali Dynasty, but had never seen the blessed land.
I just don’t know where the blessed land of the Dali Dynasty is hidden.
Meng Zhang looked around curiously and carefully sensed the unique environment here.
The Hailing Sect is still very generous to its guests. There are no restrictions on Meng Zhang and he is allowed to walk around and visit within the Hailing Sect.
On the contrary, Meng Zhang remembered that he had other business matters, so he did not waste too much time on the road and directly asked Lu Tianshu to lead him to meet with the senior officials of the Hailing Sect.
Lu Tianshu led Meng Zhang outside the Hailing Sect's main hall.
Haiyang Zhenjun, the head of Hailing Sect, has been waiting here for a long time.
Meng Zhang had long heard that among the Hailing Sect, one of the representatives of the older generation of monks was the leader of the Hailing Sect, Haiyang Zhenjun.
Especially after the Taiyi Sect formed an alliance with the Hailing Sect, most of the Hailing Sect's strength was no longer hidden from the Taiyi Sect and was actively exposed to the Taiyi Sect.
Meng Zhang knew a lot of information about the Hai Ling Sect from the normal interactions between the two sects.
Haiyang Zhenjun, the head of the Hailing Sect, was a talented monk in the sect in his early years. He has been practicing for many years and is very senior in the sect.
It is said that if assuming the position of leader had not greatly delayed his practice, he might have become a great master in the Void Return Stage.
Speaking of which, the Hai Ling Sect now has two powerful masters in the Void Return Stage who are in the limelight, and they are his senior brothers. Back then, they were not as good as him in all aspects.
True Lord Haiyang spent many years in the late stage of Yuanshen. Later, he finally survived the thunder tribulation and advanced to the stage of Yangshen.
During this period of time, many juniors have caught up with him and advanced to the Yangshen stage before him.
Among the Yangshen stage powerhouses of the Hailing Sect, True Lord Haiyang was not outstanding in all aspects.
Of course, True Lord Haiyang has been the head of Hailing Sect for many years and has great authority in the sect.
The rapid rise of the Hailing Sect and the ability to compete head-on with the Holy Land Sect Zhenhai Palace were mainly achieved under the leadership of True Lord Haiyang.
Not to mention the Yang Shen stage experts in the sect, but also the several Void Returning Masters, they all respect True Lord Haiyang very much and are willing to obey his orders.
True Lord Haiyang came out to greet Meng Zhang in person. It seemed that both parties had equal status and were both leaders of the same sect. However, in view of True Lord Haiyang's seniority, Meng Zhang still acted like a junior in front of him and looked very respectful.
True Lord Haiyang was very enthusiastic, received Meng Zhang very affectionately, and said many good words of praise.
The two of them chatted outside the sect's main hall for a long time before True Lord Haiyang welcomed Meng Zhang in.
The Hailing Sect has a long heritage, and its history is still ahead of the Taiyi Sect.
In the spacious sect hall, there are statues of many ancestors enshrined.
Meng Zhang first paid homage to the statue of the founder of the Hailing sect, and then took a seat under True Lord Haiyang.
Over the years, Taiyi Sect and Hailing Sect have had frequent exchanges and have maintained sufficient communication.
This is the first time for Meng Zhang, the head of the clan, to visit Hailing Sect.
Although it was the first time for True Lord Haiyang to meet Meng Zhang, he didn't look out of place at all and looked very familiar.
Meng Zhang's visit to the Hailing Sect this time was not a courtesy visit, but an important matter to discuss.
After a few polite words with True Lord Haiyang, he was about to get down to business.
Logically speaking, as the leader of an ally, Meng Zhang was visiting for the first time. In addition to the leader, True Lord Haiyang, other high-level officials of Hailing Sect should also send some people to accompany him.
However, True Lord Haiyang told the truth frankly, because Zhenhai Palace has been making constant moves recently, which has put tremendous pressure on Hailing Sect from many aspects. Most of the powerful high-level monks in the sect left the mountain gate to deal with Zhenhai Palace's actions.
Now in the main hall, apart from the head of the Hailing Sect, Zhenjun Haiyang, the only one who has been vigorously cultivated by the sect is Zhenjun Lu Tianshu.
That's fine. If people talk too much, Meng Zhang is still worried about leaking secrets.
He didn't beat around the bush, and went straight to the point and asked True Lord Haiyang if he knew that the immortals who opened up the Junchen Realm were about to wake up, and that a great change in the Junchen Realm was imminent.
True Lord Haiyang answered Meng Zhang's question directly without any hesitation.
For ordinary monks, this is a huge secret, but for people like Zhenjun Haiyang, it is something that has been known for a long time.
Zhenjun Haiyang also took the initiative to tell Meng Zhang that the Hailing Sect and the Ascending Immortal Society were closely related, and some monks in the sect joined the Ascending Immortal Society in their personal capacity.
Judging from his words, he already knew about Meng Zhang joining the Immortal Society.
Over the years, many official members of the Ascended Immortal Society have been in the Junchen world, observing and contacting those rising stars who are worthy of cultivation.
If the conditions are right, they will be introduced into the Celestial Society.
In this way, although the internal members of the Celestial Immortal Society are a little more complicated and may have less cohesion, they can always maintain vitality and have strong strength.
The relationship between the Hai Ling Sect and the Climbing Immortal Society is much deeper than Meng Zhang imagined.
The Hai Ling Sect is able to achieve its current strength and status not only through its own efforts, but also to a large extent because of the support from external forces such as the Ascension Society.
It is not a secret that Granny Liansi made friends with and cultivated Meng Zhang in her early years.
The Hai Ling Sect happily formed an alliance with the Taiyi Sect back then, and this was partly due to this factor.
When Meng Zhang realized that the Hailing Sect and the Climbing Immortal Society had a close relationship for a long time, he swallowed many of the words he had prepared.
Even among allies, it is impossible to be completely honest, and each still has many secrets.
Taiyi Sect and Hailing Sect were secret allies who helped each other when facing the Holy Land Sect.
On other matters, the positions may not be consistent.
At least according to Meng Zhang's judgment, the relationship between Hailing Sect and Dengxian Society is closer and older than the relationship between Hailing Sect and Taiyi Sect.
Meng Zhang did not elaborate on the details of the great changes that were about to take place in Junchen Realm, but asked True Lord Haiyang if the Hailing Sect had any good strategies to deal with such great changes.
After hearing Meng Zhang's question, Zhenjun Haiyang had a wry smile on his face.
When immortals fight, mortals suffer.
Facing the catastrophe brought by the immortals, the Hailing Sect had no other response except to passively endure it.
