The Way of the Immortal Master

Originally, the Dragon Clan Headquarters did not attach importance to, or even ignored, this branch of the Dragon Clan in the Taiyi Realm.

Only when this branch of the Dragon Clan met certain conditions and contacted the Dragon Clan Headquarters through sacrificial ceremonies and other methods, would the Dragon Clan Headquarters, as usual, teach it some cultivation techniques and bestow some treasures and resources.

As Meng Zhang's cultivation level continued to improve and the Taiyi Realm continued to grow and develop, some members of the Dragon Clan Headquarters occasionally paid attention to the situation in the Taiyi Realm.

This kind of attention was very limited, and it could not be said that it was very important.

This branch of the Dragon Clan under the Jade Dragon Emperor did not receive more additional benefits from the Dragon Clan Headquarters.

All this changed fundamentally with Meng Zhang's promotion to the Golden Immortal.

Especially after Meng Zhang led the Taiyi Realm to take root in the Xinyou Border and prepared to develop here for a long time, the Dragon Clan Headquarters began to really pay attention to the Taiyi Realm.

This dispute between the two Golden Immortals within the Taoist sect almost pushed Meng Zhang to the forefront.

Regardless of whether he likes it or not, he really made a big splash, and his reputation spread far and wide.

The senior leaders of the Dragon Clan Headquarters also became really interested in him and had the idea and intention to contact him.

To contact the Taoist Golden Immortal, of course, they had to send a strong person of the same level.

Although the Dragon Clan has always been arrogant and arrogant, they will not break such a convention.

No matter how arrogant the Dragon Clan is, they dare not look down on the Taoist Golden Immortal.

The strong person of the same level as the Golden Immortal in the Dragon Clan is called the Dragon Emperor.

This level of existence is as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns in the entire Dragon Clan.

Just when the internal turmoil of the Taoist sect was in turmoil, Dragon Emperor Ao Ding from the Dragon Clan Headquarters came to Taiyi Realm to visit Meng Zhang in person.

Before Dragon Emperor Ao Ding came to visit, the Dragon Clan Headquarters issued a message to inform the Jade Dragon Emperor.

Of course, the Jade Dragon Emperor, who had long been promoted to the Heavenly Dragon, should be called the Jade Heavenly Dragon.

After receiving the instructions from the headquarters, Yu Tianlong did not dare to delay and immediately asked to see the high-level officials of Taiyi Sect and conveyed the relevant information to them.

After learning that Dragon Emperor Ao Ding was coming to visit Taiyi Realm, the high-level officials of Taiyi Realm immediately reported to Meng Zhang.

There are actually many disputes between Taiyi Realm and the Dragon Clan.

When Junchen Realm was still there, the branch of the Dragon Clan in Junchen Realm and Taiyi Sect had many disputes.

After the destruction of Junchen Realm, the two sides cooperated more.

Yu Tianlong led a branch to enter Taiyi Realm, which was the largest cooperation between the two sides.

From the results, this cooperation was a win-win situation.

The overall strength of Taiyi Realm has been improved, and this branch of the Dragon Clan has developed further.

When wandering in the void in Taiyi Realm, this branch of the Dragon Clan was also loyal to Taiyi Realm and made great military achievements.

Later, Taiyi Realm also fought with some evil dragons.

...

Of course, these disputes are not worth mentioning in the eyes of the high-level officials of the Dragon Clan.

Dragon Emperor Ao Ding came for Meng Zhang, the Golden Immortal.

Everyone knows this.

Meng Zhang is very welcome to the visit of Dragon Emperor Ao Ding.

After he was promoted to Golden Immortal, he needed to develop and expand his personal connections among the strong people of the same level.

In addition to the Taoist Golden Immortal, the Dragon Emperor is also one of his targets.

Although the Dragon Clan has always been tyrannical and overbearing, there is no obvious hostility between them and the Taoist Clan, nor is there a big conflict of interest.

The two sides have a basis for cooperation on many issues.

The Dragon Clan has always been arrogant and arrogant...

This time, Dragon Emperor Ao Ding took the initiative to visit a new Golden Immortal like Meng Zhang, which really feels a bit of condescension.

With Meng Zhang's current cultivation and status, he doesn't need to feel flattered.

Of course, he needs to show enough sincerity and warmly welcome the other party.

As a whole, the Taoist Golden Immortal is definitely much better than the Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Clan.

But when it comes to individuals, it's hard to say.

Ordinary Golden Immortals often think that the Dragon Emperor is difficult to deal with, and it's best not to offend him easily.

The overall strength of the dragon clan is not as good as that of the Taoists and Buddhists, but compared with the Shinto and demon clans, it does not seem weak.

In particular, the dragon clan is relatively united internally, and can often gather one mind when facing the outside world, showing extremely strong combat effectiveness.

The dragon clan is arrogant and domineering, and it also has its capital.

Before Dragon Emperor Ao Ding came to visit this time, he informed the high-level officials of Taiyi Realm through Yu Tianlong. When he actually visited, he was still relatively low-key, bringing only a few followers, and did not intend to make a big fanfare.

Meng Zhang came to the outside of Taiyi Realm early and received the other party in person.

Dragon Emperor Ao Ding did not show the body of a real dragon, but the form of a dragon head and a human body.

Dragon Emperor Ao Ding and Meng Zhang are not the kind of people who stick to red tape.

After the two sides met, they only exchanged a few words and roughly understood each other's temperament.

Under the insistence of Dragon Emperor Ao Ding, Taiyi Realm temporarily canceled the original grand welcome celebration.

Meng Zhang personally led the Dragon Emperor Ao Ding and his party into the Taiyi Realm and came to the Taiyi Gate.

Dragon Emperor Ao Ding and Meng Zhang dismissed their attendants and talked alone.

Dragon Emperor Ao Ding stated his purpose straight away.

He first thanked Meng Zhang for taking care of the branch of the Dragon Clan under Yu Tianlong.

Over the years, the high-level officials of the Taiyi Realm have treated the various alien races under their command equally, allowing the Dragon Clan and others to achieve great development.

The Dragon Clan under Yu Tianlong was a branch of the Dragon Clan of the Junchen Realm back then. It was weak and had a shallow foundation...

Thanks to the cultivation of the Taiyi Realm's high-level officials, they are now barely ranked among the many branches of the Dragon Clan.

For the Dragon Clan's high-level officials, the growth of the strength of the major branches under their command will help to enhance the overall strength of the Dragon Clan.

The attitude shown by the Taiyi Realm's high-level officials deserves the Dragon Clan's kind treatment.

Although the Dragon Clan has always been arrogant and arrogant, they also have a clear sense of gratitude and resentment.

The kindness of outsiders will often be rewarded accordingly.

Meng Zhang listened quietly without saying much.

He knew that everything that Dragon Emperor Ao Ding said at this moment was just a pretext, not his real intention.

When Dragon Emperor Ao Ding finished speaking, he also said a lot of good things, praising Yu Tianlong and his Dragon Clan branches for their hard work and countless military exploits in the process of Taiyi Realm's external wars.

With a good start, the two sides talked happily and the atmosphere of the conversation was very good.

Dragon Emperor Ao Ding also began to slowly enter the real topic.

After many years of opening up the void, the cultivation world has made great progress.

Although many high-ranking dragons are unwilling to admit it, the fact is that the human race has become the most widely distributed and powerful race in the void.

The human race is the mainstream in the cultivation forces such as Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism.

Although the dragon race is naturally strong and talented, it has long been surpassed by the human race due to various restrictions.

Many guys in the high-ranking dragons are unwilling to accept this fact, but more high-ranking people have to follow the will of heaven.

It’s nothing for the human race to rise and become the overlord of the void.

The powerful races such as the dragon race will lose some interests at most.

However, if the human race wants to be self-centered, blindly xenophobic, and regard all foreign races as enemies, it will only lead to the spread of war and the destruction of lives.

Taoism is the most powerful force in the void, and the mainstream of the internal cultivators is the human race.

If the extremists within the Taoist sect gain power and influence or even dominate the Taoist sect’s foreign strategy, then the major foreign races in the void will have to unite and attack it.

Of course, the various alien races in the void have deep grievances and many disputes, and some are mortal enemies.

Just like the dragon race, they have always looked down on the demon race, and many high-level officials regard them as beasts that eat raw meat and drink blood.

Most of the demon races are indeed far inferior to the dragon race, but there are also a few rare races that are not necessarily weaker than the dragon race.

There are even top-level beings that feed on dragons and snakes.

Many high-level demon races fantasize about conquering or subjugating the dragon race and bringing them under the demon race.

…

So far, the extreme faction in the Taoist sect that claims that the human race is supreme is far from the mainstream, and it is mainly engaged in the practice of party unity and attacking dissidents in the Taoist sect.

However, due to the strength of the Taoist sect, their actions have attracted the attention and vigilance of many alien races.

Although the dragon race disdains to be on par with races like the demon race, in the eyes of the human race, it is still a member of the alien race.

The dragon race is not afraid of these extreme factions at present, but they must not relax their vigilance.

They will never allow these extreme factions to gain power in the Taoist sect.

Once they are in power, it will be a huge disaster for all races.

There are strong people inside and outside the Dao Sect who want to contain and suppress these guys.

Among the alien Golden Immortals of the Dao Sect, there are those who have a deep connection with the Dragon Clan and have a close relationship.

...

Although Dragon Emperor Ao Ding did not continue talking here, Meng Zhang already understood his thoughts.

He first used the extremists to arouse everyone's hatred of the enemy.

Then, he hinted that everyone could cooperate on this issue and eliminate the disaster together.

As a human Golden Immortal, Meng Zhang openly joined the camp of alien Golden Immortals and was regarded as a traitor to the human race by those extremists.

Last time he cooperated with the Hetu Golden Immortal, he was probably regarded as an object that must be eradicated by those extremists.

Since he had already chosen to stand on the side, Meng Zhang had no goodwill towards the extremist Golden Immortals and was also eager to get rid of them.

Of course, due to various reasons, both sides were restrained and it was unlikely that a full-scale war would break out immediately.

Despite this, Meng Zhang never intended to collude with outsiders or kill with someone else's knife.

This is not to say that Meng Zhang is so loyal to the Taoist sect, but that he knows how powerful the sect is.

Especially after he was promoted to the Golden Immortal and made friends with the Golden Immortal Guo Tong, he knew some secrets within the Taoist sect and had some understanding of the real top combat power of the Taoist sect.

No matter how fierce the struggle between the alien Golden Immortal and him and the extremists is, it is an internal problem of the Taoist sect.

So far, this is still barely within the tolerance range of the top leaders of the Taoist sect.

If anyone is ignorant of life and death, eats insincerely, and rashly colludes with outsiders, once the news is leaked, it will surely cause the anger of the top leaders of the Taoist sect, and may even lead to a blow.

Meng Zhang joined the camp of the alien Golden Immortal, and the other party was at least an internal force of the Taoist sect.

Although he and the Dragon Clan have a deep relationship, they do not have a very deep relationship, let alone much trust.

Colluding with outsiders to deal with fellow Taoists is really a taboo.

Meng Zhang has been in charge of Taiyi Sect for many years. As the head of a sect, even if he doesn't like intrigue, he will try his best to consider everything.

In his heart, he suddenly became wary of Dragon Emperor Ao Ding.

He even suspected that this guy had evil intentions and bad intentions.

It is common for high-level cultivators in the Taoist sect to interact with strong people from other systems.

Many strong people have deep friendships with each other, and even become friends of life and death.

However, on some major issues related to the overall interests of the Dao Sect, we must take the right stand.

Meng Zhang was wary, and it was difficult for Dragon Emperor Ao Ding to impress him with his next words.

Dragon Emperor Ao Ding really kept showing goodwill to Meng Zhang and promised a lot of benefits.

As a newly promoted Golden Immortal, it is undoubtedly a great thing to be able to gain the friendship of a powerful race like the Dragon Clan.

But betraying the Dao Sect for this would be more trouble than gain.

Because he is not a dragon after all, even if he completely surrenders to the Dragon Clan, he will not get the real trust of the Dragon Clan's top leaders.

Dragon Emperor Ao Ding is buying him now, just because he sees that he has value.

Meng Zhang is too familiar with such routines.

Perhaps, Dragon Emperor Ao Ding just established a good relationship with him at the beginning, and then slowly tempted him step by step, starting from dealing with common enemies, and finally making him unable to get off the ship, and had to be deeply bound with the Dragon Clan.

Just like now, if he really believed the promise of Dragon Emperor Ao Ding and joined hands with the Dragon Clan to deal with those extreme Golden Immortals, he would definitely be caught by the Dragon Clan afterwards, and he might be threatened by them.

And it is unlikely to completely hide it from the top masters of the Taoist sect.

Although Meng Zhang saw through the thoughts of Dragon Emperor Ao Ding, he did not turn against him, but pretended to be friendly with him.

Making friends with the Dragon Clan will bring many benefits, why not do it?

Taking advantage of the Dragon Clan trying to win him over now, why not seek more benefits?

As for colluding with the Dragon Clan more deeply, or even betraying the interests of the Taoist sect, that is another matter.

Of course, Meng Zhang believes that the senior leaders of the Dragon Clan are not fools, and they are definitely not the kind of people who only seek to give without seeking gains.

His attitude of pretending to be friendly will sooner or later be seen through by the other party.

As for what to do at that time, that is another matter.

Dragon Emperor Ao Ding easily saw through Meng Zhang's perfunctory intentions.

He did not care.

Meng Zhang's attitude is normal.

If Meng Zhang bowed his head and devoted himself to the Dragon Clan right away, then he should think carefully about whether the other party was fooling him.

The Dragon Clan is often criticized for its style of doing things, but the Dragon Clan leaders are not lacking in wisdom.

For outstanding people in other cultivation systems, the Dragon Clan often has a complete set of methods to befriend them and buy them off step by step.

The wealthy and profound Dragon Clan often pays generously to those who really like them.

Not only do they send all kinds of rare treasures and cultivation resources, but sometimes they even marry off dragon girls.

Among the high-level Taoist monks, there are more than one or two who have married dragon girls.

There are also many Dragon Clan members who worship Buddhism and become guardian dragons and dragon girls under their seats.

Many divine dragons and demon dragons are from the Dragon Clan.

The seemingly arrogant Dragon Clan also has times when they condescend to others. They will adopt a strategy of casting a wide net to expand their influence in various cultivation systems.
