What made Meng Zhang most gratified was that when Xu Mengying and the others broke through the Void Return Stage, he was not present and did not provide help.
Xu Mengying was the first to make a breakthrough. When she made the breakthrough, both Han Yao and Yu Ci, the five swordsmen in the sect, actively protected her.
Afterwards, when Niu Dawei and Yang Xueyi broke through, Xu Mengying also escorted them.
With the increase in the Taiyi Sect's void-returning powers, those who later break through will receive more help and become easier.
This means that Taiyi Sect already has the ability to cultivate void-returning powers on its own, and can grow in an orderly manner even without Meng Zhang.
In addition to Xu Mengying and others who have become powerful masters of returning to the void, Taiyi Sect also has several more Yangshen True Lords.
Meng Zhang's second disciple An Xiaoran, third disciple An Moran, and the sect elder Wei Wuxia all advanced to the Yangshen stage one after another.
True Lord Jin Li and his disciple Jin Qiaoer, who were not direct descendants of the Taiyi Sect, also became True Lord Yangshen.
Taiyi Sect now has disciples from all walks of life, the disciple training system is complete, and the latecomers are growing up in a very healthy state.
This kind of Taiyi Sect is becoming more and more on par with those Holy Land sects, and is becoming more and more like a hegemon.
If it were in the past thousands of years, a situation like Taiyi Sect would have been suppressed or even eliminated by the major Holy Land sects.
The interests of Junchen Realm are limited and cannot accommodate the emergence of new Holy Land sects.
Fortunately, over the past few years, Junchen Realm has been faced with internal and external troubles and has been facing strong pressure from outside invaders. In order to unite the power of the entire Junchen Realm, Tiangong worked hard to suppress the infighting among the cultivation forces in the Junchen Realm.
The major Holy Land sects faced foreign enemies, and it was indeed difficult for them to distract themselves from others, so they gave the Taiyi Sect a chance to grow.
The conditions of the Dali Dynasty back then were actually better than those of the Taiyi Sect in all aspects. Unfortunately, they were born at the wrong time and did not catch up with the good opportunity of being restrained by the major holy land sects, so they embarked on the road to destruction.
Taiyi Sect's newly added void-returning power is enough to help Meng Zhang and fight side by side with Meng Zhang.
Meng Zhang knew that with the current situation on the void battlefield, it wouldn't be long before the great Void Returners from the Taiyi Sect would face being recruited by the Tiangong.
In addition to asking the Void Returning Master in the sect to seize the time to stabilize his cultivation and become familiar with the new power, he had to find a way to delay this matter.
The Void Returning Power that Taiyi Sect worked so hard to cultivate cannot be sent to the void battlefield like cannon fodder.
After understanding the current situation of the sect, Meng Zhang also synchronized information with Tai Miao.
During the more than 20 years since Meng Zhang was absent from Junchen Realm, Taimiao in the underworld was not affected at all.
He still followed his plan by recruiting various forces to go to the Devil May Cry Mountains and slowly weaken them.
Taimiao has now cleared the perimeter of the Devil May Cry Mountains and has begun to march into the depths of the Devil May Cry Mountains.
There are a lot of ghosts wandering around in many places in the Devil May Cry Mountains.
These ghosts are not only extremely powerful, but also ferocious. They have no sense at all and cannot be communicated or subdued at all.
Tai Miao is determined to completely wipe out the entire Devil May Cry Mountain Range this time, leaving no loopholes.
He started from the outside, worked step by step, and gradually deepened.
In the past, when he sneaked into the Devil May Cry Mountains, he didn't bother to entangle with the ghosts on the outside and just went around.
Now that the army is dispatched, there are many dangerous places that cannot be bypassed. The only way is to let the army push forward.
Along the way, the army of ghosts marching towards the Devil May Cry Mountains suffered heavy losses and numerous casualties.
Whether it is the natural dangers of the Devil May Cry Mountains or the ferocious ghosts, they can cause huge casualties to the ghost army.
Tai Miao didn't pay much attention to the casualties of the ghost army.
Due to his ingenious arrangements, the greatest losses were caused by the conscripted army, while the losses of his direct lineage were limited.
After clearing the outskirts of the Devil May Cry Mountains and establishing advance bases, Taimiao led the army of ghosts to continue deeper into the Devil May Cry Mountains.
Wandering inside the Devil May Cry Mountains are various vicious creatures with the strength to return to the Void Stage.
These evil creatures were all powerful natural ghosts and gods during their lifetime. After death, they transformed into various evil creatures, becoming more and more ferocious and powerful.
Facing such an opponent, Tai Miao must fight cautiously.
The army of ghosts responsible for containing the war almost suffered a devastating blow.
A large number of acquired ghosts and ghosts were wiped out, and many forces were severely weakened and almost on the verge of destruction.
Taimiao's goal of suppressing and weakening all forces in the underworld has been basically achieved.
Of course, what he does will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the remaining forces of these forces.
But so what, Tai Miao's fighting power in the middle stage of returning to the void is invincible in the underworld, who dares to openly resist?
Moreover, Taimiao does not only know how to suppress blindly, but also has a lot of care for those forces that are respectful and honest enough.
Of course, for Tai Miao, suppressing and weakening all forces in the underworld is just incidental.
His main goal is to advance into the Devil May Cry Mountains and obtain the various treasures inside.
After entering the Devil May Cry Mountains, Tai Miao's attacks became more frequent.
He used the army of ghosts to contain and weaken those evil creatures, and he took the opportunity to take action.
Many times, the army of ghosts attracts the enemy's attention from the front, and he attacks from behind.
After many battles, the army of ghosts paid an extremely heavy price, and in exchange, Taimiao destroyed several evil creatures at the level of returning to the void.
When Taimiao went from the early stage of returning to the void to the middle stage of returning to the void, he did so by absorbing the dragon vein essence from the underworld.
Because he advanced too quickly, his foundation was somewhat unstable, leaving a lot of hidden dangers for his future cultivation.
He took this opportunity to attack Devil May Cry Mountains to slowly adjust his condition. In the process of fighting those fierce creatures, he polished his cultivation and consolidated his realm.
These ferocious creatures transformed from natural ghosts and gods after death still retain many of the characteristics of natural ghosts and gods, have mastered many powerful magical powers, and have rich combat experience.
Continuous battles with these vicious creatures were of great help to Tai Miao.
Especially after killing some vicious creatures, some crystals of divine power will remain on the opponent's corpse.
Ghosts and gods, especially those born between ghosts and gods, can originally gain each other's power and magical powers by devouring each other.
After Taimiao obtained these divine power crystals, he slowly absorbed and refined them.
Taimiao's body of ghosts and gods becomes more and more perfect, getting closer and closer to the natural ghosts and gods.
Some of the divine power crystals that he had refined but had little effect on him were given to his subordinate gods for them to absorb and utilize.
Things that are too wonderful to be despised are rare treasures for those followers who only have the strength of the Yuan Shen stage.
With the help of the Lord God Taimiao, these slave gods slowly broke through their innate shackles, and their cultivation levels improved at a high speed.
Tai Miao knew that there were many evil creatures inside the Devil May Cry Mountains, and it was difficult for him to fight alone.
He tried to cultivate more useful followers as helpers in the upcoming war.
